Douluo Continent, I, Huo Yuhao, defy fate with my spiritual eyes.

Long Aotian froze, looked him up and down, and the more he looked, the more he resembled a genius from Shrek Academy. He couldn't help but glance at Du Busi.

Their eyes met, and Long Aotian frantically gave Du Busi meaningful glances.

Teacher, are you crazy?

Even if poison doesn't kill, they'll respond with their eyes.

What the hell are you talking about?

Long Aotian's eyes darted frantically toward Huo Yuhao, blinking rapidly.

You've brought their precious child back to you, aren't you afraid they'll go crazy over there?

Du Bu Si was speechless and could only deliver a sharp glare, letting Long Aotian figure it out himself.

Since that was the case, Long Aotian had no choice but to treat Huo Yuhao as an ordinary disciple.

Huo Yuhao was quite righteous; he didn't interrupt Long Aotian and Du Busi's flirtatious exchange, but waited until Long Aotian had focused his mind before making his move.

The Golden Eyes of Truth saw through Long Aotian's true nature; his silver skin was Long Aotian's second awakened Martial Soul.

With a single punch, Long Aotian, whose strength far surpassed that of the outer disciples, reacted quickly and countered with a side punch.

The distance between the two widened again, with Long Aotian retreating more than twice as far as Huo Yuhao, which surprised Long Aotian.

Although Huo Yuhao is a genius soul master, he is not using any soul skills at all, and is only fighting with his physical spirit.

In this situation, even Long Aotian, who had been immersed in cultivating his physical body for many years, was completely at a disadvantage.

Logically speaking, this kind of head-on confrontation is extremely disadvantageous for auxiliary combat spirits such as the eyes.

Moreover, the Silver-level second awakening gave Long Aotian a boost of 100%, and he was confident that his physical abilities were definitely no less than those of a Soul Douluo.

Unless Huo Yuhao has also awakened a second time!

What's even more terrifying is that Huo Yuhao's eye spirit is pure gold, which means that Huo Yuhao's spirit is the most powerful gold-level second awakening, even purer than that of the Poison Undying!

But he clearly did not enter the inner sect, so it was impossible for him to awaken a second time through the Body Sect's secret method.

Innate Second Awakening!

This is terrifying! Is this what genius is all about?!

The two fought for a while longer, their fists aching terribly. Long Aotian felt bitter. Looking at the smiling face on Du Busi's lips, he knew things were going to get bad.

The real battle is very practical; if someone is strong, they are strong, and it's very difficult to turn the tide through skill alone.

I'm not really going to be poisoned to death and then hung up and beaten in front of everyone, am I? No way!

Thinking of that humiliating scene, Long Aotian felt tormented. He looked at Huo Yuhao with pitiful eyes, trying to persuade his junior brother.

Huo Yuhao initially didn't understand what Long Aotian meant.

If you're going to fight, then fight. What's with the winking and cutesy act? You're not a cute girl, are you trying to psychologically attack me?

Realizing this possibility, Huo Yuhao became even more ruthless, relentlessly hammering Long Aotian.

Already at a disadvantage and almost passively taking hits, Long Aotian was on the verge of vomiting blood.

Why did you hit me even harder when I begged for mercy?

No, to save face, I must continue to influence my junior brother!

So Long Aotian blinked even more enthusiastically.

After fighting for a while, Huo Yuhao noticed that the opponent's resistance was getting weaker and weaker, which puzzled him.

After a while, Huo Yuhao remembered what Du Busi had said before the competition and suddenly realized that Long Aotian didn't want to be hung up and whipped by Du Busi!

With a thought, the hammer blows became much lighter.

Sensing the change, Long Aotian was excited.

Great, junior brother has received my signal to beg for mercy!

Junior brother, as long as you help me overcome this difficulty, I will give you all my insights when you cultivate the secret technique of your true body!

Don't underestimate these insights. As the recognized senior disciple of the Body Sect, his insights into Body Cultivation are invaluable.

It can be said that his insights can improve the cultivation speed of ordinary disciples.

Some even tried to sell themselves to gain access to Long Aotian's insights, but before they could even get close, the bearded, round-faced man was slapped and sent flying far away, losing even one of his white socks.

Insights also relate to one's cultivation direction and involve many weaknesses of one's martial soul. Spreading too many of these insights can make one an easy target.

Therefore, few people are willing to share their insights with others.

The two moved with perfect coordination, their punches and kicks appearing powerful, but in reality, neither of them exerted much force; it was all an act.

As a master of body refinement, Du Busi could naturally tell what the two were doing at a glance.

His two apprentices actually teamed up to fix the match!

It's one thing for Long Aotian to do this, since we already knew he was unreliable.

But how did my precious little apprentice, whom I just took in, turn out like this?!

No, no, no, it must be that kid Long Aotian's character is too bad. He corrupted my precious little apprentice like this as soon as we met.

Thinking of this, Poison Immortal's eyes instantly turned hostile, constantly scanning Long Aotian's legs, secretly plotting in his mind.

Looks like I need to find an excuse to break his leg, so he won't continue to embarrass me.

However, since he was his eldest disciple, he still felt a little reluctant to poison him.

Forget it, let's find an excuse to punish him by sending him into seclusion to temper his temperament.

Long Aotian, who was still throwing the match, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if someone was plotting against him.

Who wants to assassinate me?!

While making his movements as beautiful and elegant as possible, Long Aotian also gave Huo Yuhao meaningful glances.

Receiving this signal, Huo Yuhao understood, and the two of them fought with all their might, retreating together, their faces turning pale.

Long Aotian cupped his hands in greeting, his words filled with admiration and a hint of joy at finding a suitable opponent.

"You're very strong; it's hard to say who will win if we fight like this, but I acknowledge your skill!"

"Not at all, you are the real master."

After exchanging pleasantries, Long Aotian faced Du Busi with a serious expression.

"Congratulations, Master, on taking on such a fine disciple! To possess such strength even before learning the Body Essence Secret Techniques—given time, you will surely become a Holy Son of the Body Essence Sect!"

Although Long Aotian had strived to become a Holy Son since childhood, his mind was as clear as a mirror when it came to personal glory and the future development of his sect.

He would be willing to give up the position of Holy Son, or even become a Limit Douluo, and live happily ever after with Vina, if it could restore the glory of the Body Sect.

Thinking of Vina, Long Aotian felt a surge of sweetness in his heart. Fortunately, she was still studying under Golden Skull Douluo and hadn't seen his disheveled state.

Although this girl was the linchpin of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Body Sect, they were unaware of each other's identities when they first met, yet her concern for Long Aotian was genuine.

Du Busi glared at Long Aotian, then spoke to Huo Yuhao in a friendly tone.

"Yuhao, you did a good job. For now, you'll be tied for first place with Aotian. Once you've mastered the secret technique of the main body, you can try the Holy Son Challenge."

The disciples below the stage had no objections. They could see clearly that the aftershocks of the battle between the two were quite terrifying, and Huo Yuhao definitely had the strength to be number one.

However, Huo Yuhao was somewhat puzzled by the Holy Son's challenge.
