Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 19 Flame
The grove where the two of them were staying was carefully chosen by Huo Yuhao. Not only was it located on the shore of Seagod Lake, but it was also a place where no one was usually seen. It was as if it were a forbidden zone of Shrek Academy.

"it's dark."

Wang Dong stretched and relaxed, looking completely at ease and satisfied: "Ah~ It's definitely more comfortable to eat at a private kitchen!"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao, who was packing his things, glanced at his somewhat round belly and said, "If you keep eating like this every day, one day you'll become as fat as a ball."

He can devour ten grilled fish in one sitting; anyone who didn't know better would think his martial spirit was Taotie.

"nonsense!"

As if sensing Huo Yuhao's gaze, Wang Dong blushed and tugged at his clothes: "This young master just has a big appetite, and I haven't been lacking in training, so how could I gain weight so easily!"

Self-deception.

Huo Yuhao immediately looked disgusted.

He was a cook, and he knew exactly how much Wang Dong could eat before. Three or four pieces of meat would fill him up, unlike now, when he was never satisfied.

Just then, Huo Yuhao's hand suddenly stopped moving, and a slight stinging sensation appeared between his eyebrows.

in danger?
Concentrating, they looked in the direction of the sense of crisis. There, on the shimmering lake surface, a small, fiery red dot appeared, rapidly expanding and hurtling towards them.

"What are you looking at?"

Wang Dong turned his head following Huo Yuhao's gaze, a hint of something appearing in his eyes: "That's... an inner court senior?"

It's said that those guys in the inner courtyard are all cultivation fanatics who never leave their homes and spend all their time cultivating on Seagod Island. Many of them are still single at the age of thirty because they're so busy with their cultivation.

Regardless of whether the rumors were true or false, this was the first time the two of them had ever met someone from the inner courtyard.

"Something's not right."

Huo Yuhao frowned deeply: "That person came for us!"

Although the senior student running towards them did not release his martial spirit, he was surrounded by strange flames, exuding a fierce and menacing aura, even a hint of murderous intent.

"what?"

Wang Dong was startled and looked again, only to see the person suddenly accelerate, instantly covering dozens of meters and rushing to the shore. Strange flames emanating from his body and radiating terrifying heat roared towards him.

Faced with this terrifying power, as soon as he released his martial spirit, he was horrified to find that flames instantly ignited at the edge of the butterfly wings, and the entire wing surface was twisted and curled up under the onslaught of the flames.

Wang Dong's martial spirit was suddenly severely damaged. Before he could even speak, he lost consciousness after letting out a painful groan.

"Wang Dong!"

Huo Yuhao's face turned ashen, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented light, and his immense soul power surged forth: "Stop!"

The overflowing soul power defied the burning flames and rushed into the layers of fire, suppressing all the crazy and restless red lights.

The entire raging fire froze instantly, turning into a peaceful scene.

"Ok?"

The attacker, engulfed in flames, seemed to pause for a moment before unleashing even greater power.

Two yellow, two purple, and two black—six perfectly matched soul rings emerged from behind him. The surging soul power transformed into a torrent of crimson fire, carrying a violent intent, and instantly tore apart the soul power released by Huo Yuhao.

"puff……"

Huo Yuhao felt his vision darken, and a spurt of blood gushed from his mouth and nose. A terrifying burning sensation spread rapidly deep into his brain, destroying his already somewhat dazed consciousness.

"damn it!"

Tianmeng, within the Sea of ​​Spirit, said with icy eyes, "It seems I'll need to take action myself this time!"

However, just before he was about to unleash his power and take over his body, the gray sphere and the golden fragment above his head lit up simultaneously.

Boom...

Accompanied by a deafening roar within his spiritual sea, Huo Yuhao's body in reality suddenly came to a stop, and he opened his eyes with an unshakeable aura.

One eye is ablaze with golden flames, the other a surge of ashen gray.

Having regained control of his body, Elder Yi touched his eyes, which were blazing with golden flames, and sighed in a hoarse voice, "Interesting."

Then, he picked up the wooden stick that Huo Yuhao usually used, looked calmly at Ma Xiaotao, and gradually black, white, and gold patterns appeared on the stick in his hand. "Roar!"

Although the person before her was incredibly powerful, the Fiery Phoenix, already in a berserk state, couldn't care less. Instantly, it channeled its martial spirit, charging forward with an aura far surpassing that of a typical Soul Emperor, determined to incinerate everyone in its path.

"Unfortunately, I'm not good at fire magic."

Old Yi sighed softly, and slowly pointed out with the wooden stick in his hand. An extremely complex reddish-gray magic circle appeared in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, it expanded into several strange transformations.

"Fire element silence."

The whisper caused a pause throughout the entire shore of Poseidon Lake, as if something in the air had momentarily lost its vitality.

Ma Xiaotao, who had charged forward with murderous intent, instantly extinguished her flames, like blowing out a candle. All the raging evil fire vanished with a bang, leaving only a few wisps of gray-black tyrannical aura that quietly dissipated.

Without the support of her strength, she naturally fell into a coma, her body tilted and she plunged headfirst into the water.

"That thing, is it called a Martial Soul?"

As Ma Xiaotao gradually shed her beast-like physical characteristics, Elder Yi fell into deep thought: "What an interesting power system."

This system, deeply rooted in one's bloodline, allows one to embark on the path of cultivation automatically upon awakening, seemingly offering a higher potential. If enough beneficial spirit rings could be found, it might even allow one's innate martial spirit to evolve and mutate, gaining greater versatility.

"However, this child actually managed to figure out how to release the soul and control the elements on his own."

Old Yi then looked at the palm with admiration: "If you were in that world, you would definitely be a magical genius."

He had never been exposed to anything in the realm of magic, yet he was able to make such an expansion... Unfortunately, most of his magic was necromancy, which was regarded by the world as a calamity and was not suitable for being taught.

Thinking this, Elder Yi reached out and touched the eyes that were emitting golden flames again.

This child worships such a bright and holy deity, so it is indeed unsuitable to teach him necromancy.

"A big bug."

"Huh?...Yes!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly straightened its body.

"When his cultivation reaches its limit in the future, you can try to let this child explore the cultivation methods of inner spiritual power. This thing may be able to help him."

"Then why now..."

“It’s not the right time yet; he needs to grow further.”

Old Yi interrupted him with a smile, then relinquished control of his body, returning to a wisp of gray energy, hanging high above the sea of ​​spirits. His golden divine essence also returned.

Outside, Huo Yuhao collapsed heavily to the ground.

"Shh-"

Several streaks of light flew out from the direction of the Sea God Pavilion and hurriedly landed.

"They're students from the outer academy!"

The white-clad leader frowned and lifted the two of them into the air with a wave of his hands: "Fortunately... no one was killed, only their souls were injured, which is probably the result of their martial souls being destroyed."

"So, it seems Xiaotao was still holding back. She didn't completely lose consciousness."

The person accompanying Ma Xiaotao pulled her out of the water, their face beaming with joy: "If that's really the case, then can Xiaotao participate in this year's Soul Master Competition?"

"Lets see."

The leader rubbed his eyebrows, looking somewhat troubled: "As for these two students from the foreign language department, Professor Li, you know what to do."

"understand!"

The Soul Saint, also dressed in white, nodded.

It's simply a carrot and stick approach, forcing them to choose between dismissal and keeping the matter confidential.

　I've never understood why Ma Xiaotao was included in the competition.

　　If this thing suddenly goes berserk in a team fight, wouldn't both sides get a thirteen kills for her?
