Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 130 Zheng Tian
"Let's go back and talk about it first..."

Huo Yuhao got up and stretched his limbs. The vortex of soul power that had dissipated within his body re-condensed, causing his surging aura to return to calm.

As his strength continued to improve, the vortex lying in his dantian became noticeably more stable, and the soul power contained within it became more condensed and powerful, even gradually becoming viscous and eventually lumpy.

'The soul power attribute and the vortex produced a strange reaction.'

'—It seems like it's not far from solidification?'

"That's quite strange."

Looking into the icy blue vortex, Huo Yuhao realized for the first time just how extraordinary his soul power was.

Normally, a Soul Master won't experience Soul Power liquefaction until they reach the sixth or even seventh Soul Ring, let alone a viscous liquid that tends to solidify.

"At this point...won't the speed of advancement inevitably slow down?...Will it be a step slower, or even half the speed?"

The thought of the many hardships on his future path of cultivation filled Huo Yuhao with worry.

Will my rapid progress come to an abrupt end?

"What's there to worry about now?"

Tianmeng patted the surface of the water, interrupting his thoughts: "Just follow my instructions, and you'll quickly pass the sixth ring!"

As for how to break through the seventh...

Thinking of this, Tianmeng's gaze wandered around.

In any case, let's wait until Huo Yuhao reaches level 69 first. Things will work themselves out.

……

"As expected, she just disappeared without a trace, and we couldn't even find her when we met up later."

Huo Yuhao sat at the agreed-upon place for more than a day, even setting up a grill to cook a few simple barbecues to fill his stomach, but no one came to find him.

"Is there something wrong?"

As he poked at the burning coals, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel worried.

Although the two had only met twice, they were nominally senior and junior classmates in the same group, and given his personality, it would be difficult for him to remain indifferent to Ju Zi's safety.

"There it is! Right in front of me!"

Just as Huo Yuhao was debating whether or not to go find someone, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky after being amplified by a soul guide. A short, fat figure was suspended in the air, supported by a blue light membrane covering his body, and was making an announcement.

Lin Jiayi!
Behind him, there was a long-lost orange-red figure.

"So they went to get reinforcements..."

Huo Yuhao had just begun his mental probe when he immediately sensed strong soul power fluctuations from two other directions, and was somewhat surprised: "There are other people?"

'You went to such lengths to find me?'

Nominally speaking, he's just a Shrek Academy student who came along to coast through life.

Swah——

A dozen seconds later, three streaks of light landed in front of him one after another, and the other two people who came to look for him also revealed themselves.

Fan Yu, and Xuan Ziwen.

After seeing Huo Yuhao safe and sound, the two men's already pale faces warmed up slightly, their eyes filled with a mixture of lingering fear and joy.

"As long as it's okay..."

As Shrek Academy's team leader, one of them would inevitably bear the blame if any problems arose among his team members.

The other one is a tutor assigned by the Sun and Moon Academy. If something goes wrong on such a major matter concerning the future of both academies, even if Jing Hongchen tries to mediate...

That really can mediate.

Both of them held relatively high positions within their respective factions, so this kind of thing wasn't impossible to fool. The only driving force behind their actions was their so-called sense of responsibility.

"Huo Yuhao?"

Lin Jiayi, the third person responsible, steadied himself and looked at him with a questioning gaze: "The aura around you... seems to have changed from before?"

"Because I was lucky enough to snag a lone survivor during the beast tide."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, revealing his four spirit rings: "It just so happens that the spirit beast's attributes are compatible with mine, so I simply absorbed it." 'He has truly become a Spirit Master.'

Lin Jiayi's eyes twitched slightly, as if they had inadvertently met the gaze of Fan Yu beside him, sparking an invisible flame in the air.

"This kind of thing happened during a simple fieldwork assignment; I have serious doubts about your college's safety measures."

After a few seconds of silence, Fan Yu stepped forward and shielded Huo Yuhao behind her. The moment she uttered those words, Huo Yuhao's expression changed.

"We... will strengthen our defenses."

Lin Jiayi forced a smile.

The exchange program has only just begun, and they've already given Shrek a handle against them, which Fan Yu has used against them. Who knows how many more times they'll be held back by that statement in the future.

There is no greater misfortune than this.

……

Sun Moon Academy, Soul Guidance Trial Grounds.

"Go! Go! Hit him! Kill him!"

Unlike the quiet atmosphere in other parts of the academy, this renovated training ground has been bustling with activity for the past six months, with a daily influx of people.

More than half of the audience members who come here are there for the two resident celebrities.

"scold!"

The golden leaf array in the arena coalesced into a sharp spear, forged into one under a layer of mysterious spiritual power, and collided head-on with the sharp aura that seemed to cleave through metal.

"boom…!"

Golden light and sword intent clashed, churning rapidly in the arena, eventually erupting into a violent vortex mixed with soul power and spiritual power.

Faced with this display of strength, the referee standing by the platform, his forehead slightly sweating, took a few steps back to quietly avoid the aftershocks of the clash between the two: "These two madmen... they really put all their strength into every move, as if they're afraid of not being able to kill each other."

This is a fierce clash between two Soul Emperors, imbued with their spiritual power!
How could someone like him, who only rose to the top through drugs, possibly intercept them head-on?
His sole task as referee is to activate the shield launcher under the ring at crucial moments, enveloping everyone in the arena in a level six invincible shield.

—You can't expect him to go up there and intercept the ball with one hand each, can you?

"boom!"

Another head-on confrontation.

The two figures in the arena swayed in the same way, and were thrown away by the aftershocks of the explosion. Clearly, they had exhausted all their strength in this clash that squeezed out all the power in their bodies.

However, the two of them still managed to stand up again with sheer willpower, their eyes shining brightly as if possessed by divine eyes.

Staggering as they charged forward...

"—Eat!!"

A powerful punch landed squarely on the opponent's face!

"Captain! Go for it!"

"Ji Juechen!"

In the already boiling audience, the shouts of the three figures were particularly loud, as if they were fighting across a wide arena, shouting with all their might using their soul power.

of course.

Under the suppression of soul power level, Ji Juechen's six-ring Soul Emperor clearly had a louder voice, which even attracted many spectators to side with Zheng Tian Academy and support the two Soul Kings.

"Ye Wuqing! Ye Wuqing!..."

As if given a boost, the two who exchanged another punch on the field were even more energetic. They actually improved their skills slightly during the fight, and a tiny amount of soul power quietly emerged in their bodies.

"Ye Wuqing!!"

Ji Juechen cleaved out with his fingers together, and the faint sword intent he painstakingly condensed carried an unprecedented solidity.

"Ji Juechen!!"

Ye Wuqing clenched his fists, and a golden leaf that had melted into his palm extended with a dazzling light.

"boom--"

　Bored, don't know what to do. Maybe I'll update with another chapter.
