Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 241 Mimicry (10,000 words per day)

Without using any soul skills, relying solely on technique and an ordinary katana, he slit the throat of a thousand-year-old icefield giant wolf with a single stroke, grabbed its scalp in mid-air, and even prevented it from spitting out its ice ball soul skill.

In Huo Yuhao's eyes, killing a thousand-year-old soul beast seemed no different from killing a larger wild beast!

Du Weiren was stunned for a long time. He had not expected that Huo Yuhao would act so decisively and swiftly when facing a thousand-year-old soul beast.

Should we find an opportunity to deduct some points from this kid, such as for not testing him or not exhausting him?

After pondering for a long time, Du Weiren finally gave up on the plan. Huo Yuhao's aerial ninja kill in mid-air was too gorgeous and too precise. It was like the bullet trail of a heavy soul-guided explosive energy ray gun. Without any warning, it instantly left a straight, flawless bullet line that was breathtaking.

"Huo Yuhao, choose the Soul Beast: Thousand-Year Icefield Giant Wolf, base score 100 points."

"By feigning weakness to lure the giant ice wolf into launching an attack, and then controlling its next move after spotting its weakness, the giant ice wolf was prevented from unleashing its soul skill and killed with a single strike, thus gaining all skill points."

Total score: 150 points, full marks.

During the upgrade assessment, the base score varies depending on the cultivation level of the soul beast.

The lowest level of a hundred-year-old soul beast has only ten points, and it increases by ten points every hundred years.

Combat skills are scored out of 50 points, which is an additional score; the passing grade is still 60 points.

If a student chooses the weakest 100-year-old soul beast, he will only pass if he obtains all 50 combat points.

This has led to two main schools of thought: the skill school, which chooses two- or three-hundred-year-old soul beasts and relies on technique to score points, and the brute force school, which directly chooses six-hundred-year-old soul beasts and can get by as long as they can hold out for a long enough time.

Especially for control-type characters, getting a good score can take at least ten minutes, which is quite time-consuming. However, for defense-type characters, it might take even longer.

"Continue? What level of soul beast should we choose?"

The referee on the field was not surprised by the result and asked a question.

"Let's choose one that's ten thousand years old, exactly ten thousand years old will do."

A glint of light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. What he had just done was merely a warm-up; from now on, he was truly entering battle mode.

"Good lad, you're arrogant enough. I'll go inform Elder Gong."

The referee nodded, turned and left. Du Weilun had overheard their conversation and raised an eyebrow.

Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are something that many outer court students dare not challenge until graduation. After all, the graduation requirement for Shrek Academy is only a four-ring Soul Master, and ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are generally challenges only by inner court disciples of Shrek Academy.

No way! I knew this kid was tough, but I didn't expect him to be this tough.

"Which arrogant brat dares to challenge a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast?"

An elderly man with red hair and red eyes led out a black bear that looked imposing, and then Huo Yuhao, who had a katana at his waist, came into view.

The old man was none other than the old man Gong Lao mentioned by the head referee, also known as the Beast King, the person in charge of Shrek Academy's arena, and a prospective elder of the Sea God Pavilion. It was because of this that the old man's eyes lit up immediately upon seeing Huo Yuhao.

How could he not know that Huo Yuhao was the kid who was fought over between the Martial Soul System and the Soul Guidance System, and who ended up getting scolded by Elder Mu from both sides, including Elder Xuan?

As the person in charge of Shrek Arena, he thoroughly enjoyed watching the drama unfold during the Sea God Pavilion meeting. Because he didn't have to fight for either side, even when Elder Mu was scolding people, he didn't get a chance to scold him, which amused him greatly.

But the next moment, a huge suction force suddenly came from Gong Changlong's palm, which was as large as a fan, pulling Huo Yuhao's body so hard that he almost stumbled forward.

Moreover, within that suction force, there was also terrifying heat, causing the air around Huo Yuhao's body to ripple like water.

Huo Yuhao naturally knew that the other party was deliberately testing him. Instead of struggling, he rushed forward with the other party's suction force. Two spirit rings, one white and one black, appeared under his feet. As he was drawn closer to the other party, the density of the black spirit ring also increased rapidly.

"Oh, my little darling!"

Gong Changlong was really anxious now. In just a short while, the black soul ring on the boy's body changed from light black to an extremely dark black, so Gong Changlong had to quickly take a few steps to catch Huo Yuhao.

At this moment, the black spirit ring beneath Huo Yuhao's feet had turned a deep red, and the terrifying aura of the 99,000-year spirit ring had already made many of the small spirit beasts in the animal pen tremble.

"Alright, alright, this old man will stop teasing you, kid. You spare my life too. If you want to train at the arena in the future, I won't charge you any money. Now, stop using your supernatural powers."

Gong Changlong's head was covered in black lines. He was genuinely afraid that the spirit ring under Huo Yuhao's feet would turn red. That would terrify the spirit beasts, and the spirit beasts in his beast pen would be so scared that they would poop and pee.

"By the way, kid, you're not allowed to use that soul skill that makes your soul ring's color and aura change when you come to my place in the future, otherwise the soul beasts here won't be able to serve a big shot like you."

As he spoke, Gong Changlong helplessly kicked the black bear beside him, which had been so imposing. The black bear's original arrogance was gone, and it lay sprawled on the ground. Although it hadn't defecated or urinated in fear, it was clearly unable to fight for the time being.

"A 90,000-year spirit ring, look how scared you are, you unlucky thing. If you were scared like this by a 100,000-year spirit ring, that would be one thing, damn it."

Gong Changlong kicked the black bear's butt twice in anger and dragged it away. Having obtained the qualification to train in the arena for free from Gong Lao, Huo Yuhao no longer hesitated and decided to test his true strength today.

Come again later.

"Awooo!"

The black bear was dragged away by Elder Gong. It let out a weak cry. Those hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old soul beasts couldn't sense it. They only felt the aura of an ordinary ninety-thousand-year-old soul beast. There was no way it couldn't sense it!

That was the aura possessed only by a top-tier soul beast with an extremely noble bloodline and the ultimate ice attribute.

Such an existence, even if it is the same age as me, could devour me as easily as eating a piece of cake. I might not even be able to defeat a nine-thousand-year-old one, let alone a ninety-thousand-year-old one.

The fact that he wasn't so scared that he wet himself is already a great honor for the black bear clan!
