Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 261 Holy Flame Cannon (Daily)

Ma Xiaotao's meaning was clear: in her eyes, soul tools could only be used as a supplement to teams with insufficient firepower. The reason she said that she would have included He Caitou and Huo Yuhao in the team if they had been born five years earlier was actually because she valued the benefits of mental detection and the amplification effect of the cigar martial soul.

The firepower unleashed by the Soul Masters was actually what Ma Xiaotao valued the least. What Ma Xiaotao appreciated was the talent of the two Soul Masters, which had little to do with the Soul Guidance System.

Just like the consensus between the Martial Soul system and the Soul Guidance system, Soul Masters below the seventh ring have an absolute advantage, while those above the seventh ring, that is, those who have the Martial Soul True Form, can unleash even more terrifying power than Soul Masters of the same level.

Ma Xiaotao's soul power level was approaching this critical point, and the powerful explosive force brought by the top-level martial soul allowed her to cross this critical point even faster.

Among sixth-tier soul masters of the same level, who dares to say that their explosive power can consistently surpass Ma Xiaotao's? Let alone consistently surpassing Ma Xiaotao, it's debatable whether they can even be on par.

It's not that I look down on soul tools, it's just that the firepower boost they bring isn't essential for Ma Xiaotao's team. Aside from firepower, the functionality of soul tools isn't particularly impressive, and that's the crux of the problem.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and Dai Yueheng's side had clearly made some arrangements. The two sides faced each other at opposite ends of the assessment area.

Elder Xuan's voice rang out again, "From now on, you are not classmates, but rivals. I don't need to tell you what to do to compete for a spot that isn't for pigs, do I? Don't hold back, let's begin."

After being trained by Elder Xuan for so long, Huo Yuhao and the others have gradually become familiar with Elder Xuan's teaching methods.

To put it more nicely, just as there are no fixed formations in warfare and no fixed shapes in water, teaching methods may seem very casual, but they are often more in line with the actual situation of combat.

To be realistic, you promising talents aren't going to be really killed anyway, so just train them to the bone. It won't hurt to experience the intensity.

At this moment, the two sides were still far apart, but as soon as he shouted "start," both sides immediately began to move.

Ma Xiaotao was the first to rush out. With a light touch of her toes, she shot out like an arrow, fiery red feathers quietly appearing. Her eyes also lit up with a blazing light, and intense golden-red flames burst forth, illuminating the entire scene.

Just as Ma Xiaotao started moving, Ling Luochen also moved, and the temperature in the arena plummeted, turning into a frozen wasteland.

Huo Yuhao glanced at the two of them, having no immediate intention of providing them with any additional benefits. He then spread out his mental detection, enveloping the entire Soul Arena.

For a long time, the academy's teachers were debating whether Huo Yuhao should be considered an offensive or control-type Soul Master. However, they overlooked one option: Huo Yuhao could also be a support-type Soul Master.

A golden light flashed from the yellow spirit ring beneath Huo Yuhao's feet, but the familiar golden flame did not rise from the katana in his hand.

He Caitou's body was now completely encased in a thick metal shell. He was like a solid fortress.

From bottom to top, Huo Yuhao saw at least thirty metal tubes on his body, the largest of which was on his chest. It was a Soul Guidance Cannon with a caliber of more than half a foot, emitting a faint dark gold color.

The next moment, golden flames simultaneously ignited on the densely packed metal cannon muzzles on He Caitou's body.

"Yuhao, you son of a bitch."

Wang Dong, who was charging forward with Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng and others, saw the golden flames burning on the muzzle of He Caitou's cannon and immediately felt a sense of foreboding. He Caitou and Huo Yuhao had teamed up so many times but never revealed this move before. This time, they finally stopped hiding it.

Huo Yuhao had been keeping his move hidden during the training of the seven reserve team members, mainly because this move was too energy-consuming. He Caitou had a total of thirty cannon barrels on his body. If he were to attach the Holy Flame Sword Blade to them all, his soul power would be almost depleted, and he would have no strength left to fight.

But this time, he was no longer the main attacker in the battle, so he could naturally expend his soul power more recklessly.

A smile flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he connected all the team members to his mental detection.

There's no need to reserve enough supplies for the upcoming battle. Just delay for a while and prevent the enemy from defeating them in a short time to secure victory. This is the first time Huo Yuhao has fought such a simple battle.

"Senior Gongyang, Senior Brother, and Xiao Xiao, let's begin."

Huo Yuhao's mental energy fluctuations rapidly entered the minds of the three people through the mental detection network.

Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng immediately noticed that something ruthless seemed to be preparing on the battlefield behind Ma Xiaotao, but they had no time to make a move. Ma Xiaotao lived up to her reputation as a fire demon, directly confronting Dai Yueheng. A phoenix fire line released with full soul power blasted Dai Yueheng back several steps.

Chen Zifeng was in the same boat. Although he wanted to intervene, he was stopped by Ling Luochen. His usually invincible Soul Chasing Sword seemed to have many flaws today. Every move of his sword was seen through, and not only did his power go to waste, but he was also frozen badly by an ice ridge that Ling Luochen casually threw at him.

Xi Xi and Yao Haoxuan were extremely fast and rushed to the front of the formation, but were blocked by Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao, one on each side.

The melancholy sound of the flute quietly rose, and the all-around slowing effect instantly fell on Xixi and Jiang Nannan. But that wasn't all; dazzling seven-colored light shone in the air, and Gongyang Mo's first and second yellow hundred-year soul rings lit up at the same time.

With a flap of his wings, a red and orange halo quietly expanded from his body, enveloping all the friendly forces below.

Suddenly, a strange scene unfolded: above the heads of Ma Xiaotao and the other six, two halos appeared—one crimson and one orange. They all felt the immense power of the aura emanating from the halo.

First of all, his strength increased dramatically, by a full 50%!

While soul power was important as everyone charged forward, physical strength also played a significant role. When the red halo appeared, they felt as if they had been injected with a powerful stimulant.

The orange halo was even more magical. After it fell on everyone, they immediately felt as if they had become a source, and the elemental power of heaven and earth poured into their bodies like rivers flowing into the sea.

With a significant increase in strength and endurance, the boost is comparable to that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

Although its effect is 10% lower than that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda at the same level, this thing has the advantage of being long-lasting; once it's on, it stays active for a very long time.

In terms of spirit quality alone, Gongyang Mo's Rainbow Dragon spirit is on par with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and even their weaknesses are similar—they will encounter a huge bottleneck at level 79, making it difficult to break through to the Soul Douluo level.
