Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 168 Leaf Bone Clothes

"Is he a girl?"

In the midst of the silence, Huo Yuhao, who had found a secluded rooftop to meditate, suddenly opened his eyes. His mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't sort out his thoughts at all.

"Can we still be brothers?"

The moment another thought arises, the breath becomes even more disordered.

These thoughts, which merely flashed randomly through his mind, were incredibly sharp, and each time they appeared, they would disturb his peace of mind and pull him out of his meditative state.

"Less than a month... I estimate I'll see her again in less than a month."

Huo Yuhao slowly lowered his head, clutching his head and sighing deeply.

The reunion he had been so looking forward to suddenly turned into a huge hurdle that almost tripped him up.

Memories of their time together flooded back, one after another. They hadn't thought much of it before, just felt a deep friendship, like brothers. But looking at it from their current perspective…

Tsk.

"I hope this is a misunderstanding. No, it must be a misunderstanding."

Huo Yuhao gradually regained his composure and focused his energy to enter meditation again.

Wang Dong, I still want to believe in you.

Don't let me down.

……

Just as Huo Yuhao was feeling uneasy, the fourth mixed team, who were fighting on the stage first, also won.

However, this team can be considered a weak team that Lin Jiayi deliberately put together. Apart from Nana, who is the captain, the only other Soul Kings are the students from Shrek Academy who came to exchange and learn.

Therefore, in order to hide her teammates' skill information as much as possible, Nana went all out, relying on her incredibly fast blink sword and damage reduction skills to stand alone on the field and take down seven opponents, completely defeating the entire team.

However, her control skills, which she used and then quickly withdrew during the gaps in her attacks, were still noticed by others.

"Someone is following us."

Not long after stepping off the field, Nana suddenly stopped, a glint of something eerie flashing in her eyes.

But looking at her teammates, she realized that no one else had sensed anything, not even the two Shrek Soul Kings. She wondered if they were so focused on the match that they had neglected to observe their surroundings.

'Something's wrong.'

With doubts in her mind, Nana sensed it again, only to be horrified to discover that this sensation was not due to her particularly keen perception, but rather because... there was murderous intent!
The guy following her made no attempt to hide his murderous intent, keeping his eyes on her ever since she left the competition area.

"what happened?"

His teammates turned around in surprise, wondering why their captain, who had just displayed such prowess, was suddenly so nervous.

"It's nothing. I just almost forgot that someone is waiting for me inside... Sorry, you guys go ahead. I can't leave him there."

Nana chuckled dryly and turned to walk towards the arena amidst the strange looks from the others.

"The person the captain is talking about is~"

One of the guys who knew a little about the situation tentatively spoke up.

Subsequently, both the Shrek Academy students and the Holy Servants who had infiltrated the camp exchanged awkward glances.

Compared to those Sun Moon students who had only heard rumors, the former had basically met Nana in person, and the latter knew her inside and out.

"move."

The six people left quietly in tacit agreement, leaving the two people plenty of time to talk.

'Who would want to kill me...?'

Before she could even turn around and take a few steps, Nana activated her Martial Soul Possession and rushed back to the arena at top speed.

The killing intent he just displayed was not only pure, but its intimidation was also undisguised, as if it were deliberately shown to her. To have such confidence, the other party must be at least a fifth-ring expert.

“Yu Mengdi? Impossible. The control method of vengeful spirits doesn’t hurt people, nor is it easily exposed, and it would never involve the master. She has no reason to attack me…” Nana’s thoughts were churning as she sped away, but just as she was about to pass a yellow-clad figure with a hood pulled up, that life-threatening killing intent resurfaced, even several times stronger.

Even more so... right before our eyes!
"It's you!"

Nana's pupils contracted sharply as she turned to look at the lower half of the face hidden under the hood. The other person's longsword, burning with a holy aura, was already silently pressed against her waist.

If we exert even a little more effort, or push the scale even a little further...

She was about to be disemboweled.

"Evil Soul Master~"

The man tilted his head slightly and uttered a cold word: "Die!"

The blade in his hand swung in an arc, slicing through Nana's body, which had turned into a phantom at the last second.

However, she had already witnessed Nana's full performance from the audience and had anticipated this outcome. Her surprise attack was intended to force Nana to use this move, making her subsequent actions easier—

"Holy light shines!"

Dressed in yellow, Ye Guyi swung her sword in a horizontal slash, unleashing the power contained within her martial spirit, scattering a warm light that covered an area of ​​several feet in front of her.

"Hmm..."

Upon entering the area, Nana immediately felt a strong sense of discomfort. Her fourth spirit ring gradually dimmed under the influence of this power, and even her fifth spirit ring was affected.

Her power was reduced by at least 30%.

Moreover, with this holy light blocking her way, she could only release her spiritual power if she wanted to see the path ahead... but her vengeful spirit was born from a soul, and her spiritual power had long been tainted with evil energy.

'She has him completely under her thumb.'

Nana stared at her damage-immunity soul skill, which was on cooldown, and counted down the seconds. Meanwhile, she sprinted at full speed using her acceleration skill, which created two illusions.

Unfortunately, the holy light surrounding her seemed to have eyes, constantly following her and weakening her, suppressing her speed and soul power.

"Holy Spirit Slash."

A voice like a death sentence rang out from behind, and the holy light that enveloped the surroundings was pierced by the incomparably sharp light, revealing the target to be slaughtered.

Ye Guyi, carrying the soul-guided thruster, charged at full speed and, guided by the holy light, instantly locked onto Nana's location. Just a second before her damage reduction skill was restored, she slashed down with all her might.

She had been refining this routine for nearly an hour backstage, and even took the initiative to strike before the opponent's soul power had recovered, all for the sake of a clean and swift kill.

Danger!

If she takes this sword strike, she will either die or be crippled!

Nana looked up in alarm, her fingers touching the ten-thousand-year soul ring whose light had dimmed slightly, struggling desperately in the face of life-or-death crisis.

Ghostly Shadow!

Nana's body instantly merged into the ground, transforming into a streak of light that rushed into Ye Guyi's shadow, and then reactivated her damage immunity as she darted out of the shadow.

"They actually have this move?"

Ye Guyi's expression changed instantly, and a pair of wings shimmering with holy light were forced open to support her unleashing a full-force attack: "At worst, I'll just hide for a few more years after I go back... Holy Light Spirit Array!"

A terrifying wave erupted, even startling some of the spectators in the arena, unleashing a devastating attack. Layers upon layers of holy light surged past Nana, engulfing her entirely.

"Ruined."

Nana closed her eyes in despair: "Master... I'll find you in my next life..."

The moment the damage immunity ends, she will transform into a human torch.

"Waiting to die is not a good habit."

Just as she gave up struggling, a familiar mental fluctuation quietly descended, unleashing a powerful attack.

"Soul shock!"
