Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 156 Wu Feng VS Huo Yuhao

'I will win!'

'I will stand here upright and honorable in my own way, and I will shut up all those who look down on me.'

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao slowly raised his head. His eyes, which had been dark with anger, had now returned to a calm and still state. Beneath that calm was a determination to burn everything.

Wu Feng looked at Huo Yuhao, who remained silent on the other side of the arena, and her already limited patience finally ran out.

In her view, Huo Yuhao's silence was cowardice, a sign that he dared not reciprocate her kindness.

"You're an ungrateful person."

She muttered a curse under her breath and stopped talking nonsense.

"drink!"

Wu Feng took a step forward, and the hard stone surface of the arena made a muffled sound under her feet.

A burst of intense heat suddenly erupted from her body.

Her body was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye; fine, crimson dragon scales quickly appeared on her cheeks, neck, and arms.

Her long, bright red hair moved without wind, and her whole body seemed to be enveloped in a ball of crimson flame.

Immediately afterwards, two yellow spirit rings of the hundred-year level rose from beneath her feet, pulsating around her fiery body.

A powerful pressure emanating from the depths of his bloodline was released; it was the majesty of the superior dragon race.

Red Dragon Martial Soul, Possess!
The students below the stage, even those who were also offensive-type Soul Masters, felt a sense of oppression when they sensed the dragon's might.

"Such a strong sense of oppression. Wu Feng's Red Dragon Martial Soul is indeed well-deserved of its reputation."

One of the trainees said in a low voice.

"Yes, this is a true top-tier beast spirit. What kind of spirit does Huo Yuhao have again? Spirit Eye? I've never even heard of it."

Faced with Wu Feng's powerful aura, Huo Yuhao was not to be outdone.

He made no extra movements, but simply slowly raised his head.

In an instant, his originally dark eyes lit up, as if two dazzling white lights were blooming in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a thin, ten-year soul ring emitting a faint white light quietly rose from beneath his feet.

A two-ring Great Soul Master, two hundred-year Soul Rings, and a top-tier Beast Martial Soul.

One is a one-ring Soul Master, the other has a ten-year Soul Ring, and both are Spirit-type Martial Souls.

From any perspective, this is a duel with no suspense whatsoever.

"Hmph, he brought this humiliation upon himself."

Dai Huabin crossed his arms, his sarcasm deepening.

Just then, the wind stirred.

Without the slightest probing, she slammed her right foot into the ground, her body shooting straight towards Huo Yuhao like a cannonball, creating a gust of wind.

Her red hair billowed backward as she moved at high speed, making her resemble a sweeping red cloud, full of violent impact.

The distance of tens of meters was covered in an instant by her explosive power.

However, a surprising thing happened.

Faced with the overwhelming force of the witch wind, Huo Yuhao not only did not retreat, but also did not adopt any defensive or offensive stance.

He simply closed his eyes slowly.

He stood there quietly, as if everything outside was irrelevant to him, as if he were meditating standing up.

"What is he doing?!"

"Have you given up? Close your eyes and wait to die?"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Wu Feng, who was charging at the forefront, immediately became alert upon seeing Huo Yuhao's strange behavior. 'He closed his eyes?'

Her mind raced.

'So you're planning to use that mental shock soul skill? Hmph, I was prepared.'

After losing to Huo Yuhao, their team conducted multiple reviews and analyses.

The conclusion is that Huo Yuhao's soul skill, which can directly attack the sea of ​​consciousness, is strange, but not impossible to defend against.

As long as you concentrate your mental energy highly during battle and dedicate a portion of your soul power to constantly protect your head and sea of ​​consciousness, you can greatly weaken or even resist that kind of attack.

'As long as I defend against your only trick, let's see what else you can use to fight me.'

Wu Feng sneered inwardly.

She didn't even use any soul skills.

In her opinion, this was completely unnecessary.

'My Red Dragon Martial Soul grants me physical strength, power, and speed far exceeding those of ordinary people. To need a Soul Skill to deal with a control-type Soul Master whose Soul Power is only level seventeen? That would be an insult.'

'I will use pure physical strength to knock him to the ground, punch and kick him each time, so he understands the insurmountable chasm between us.'

In the blink of an eye, Wu Feng had already rushed in front of Huo Yuhao. Her right fist, which contained explosive power, slammed straight towards Huo Yuhao's face with a whistling sound.

She was absolutely confident that this punch would knock Huo Yuhao unconscious.

However, just as her fist was about to touch Huo Yuhao's nose...

With his eyes closed, Huo Yuhao seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, tilting it to the left at an incredibly small angle.

"call--"

Wu Feng's fist flew past his ear.

The powerful force of the punch caused his black hair to dance wildly around his ears.

"what?"

Wu Feng was startled. Her first attack missed, but she reacted quickly. She used her waist to twist her body and unleashed a powerful whip kick, aiming straight for Huo Yuhao's waist and abdomen.

However, Huo Yuhao, like a roly-poly toy, leaned back and, in a pose that most people couldn't achieve, narrowly avoided the kick once again.

Wu Feng's attacks were relentless, with fists, palms, elbows, and knees raining down on Huo Yuhao like a storm.

But something strange happened.

Huo Yuhao kept his eyes closed the whole time. His movements were minimal, and every move was perfectly timed, as if he could predict all of Wu Feng's attack routes in advance.

He was like a small boat in a stormy sea, seemingly on the verge of capsizing at any moment, yet always able to find a crack in the waves at the most critical moment and survive tenaciously.

The students in the audience were all stunned.

"This...how is this possible? His eyes were closed."

"Is it a coincidence? It's impossible for it to be such a coincidence every time."

Only Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao felt a little relieved.

They knew that this was Huo Yuhao's most important soul skill—Mental Detection.

In Huo Yuhao's mind, the world is a completely different story.

There is no color, no light or darkness, only a three-dimensional spiritual world centered on him, within a radius of 100 meters.

In this world, Wu Feng is no longer a living person, but a perfectly clear humanoid model composed of countless lines and energy points.

He could see the flow of soul power within her body, the contraction and exertion of every muscle in her body, and all the possibilities of her next move.

Each of her attacks became a clear, calculable trajectory in Huo Yuhao's mental world.

What he needs to do is, based on this information, make the most energy-efficient and effective evasion before the attack arrives.
