Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 347 Extinct Ancient Beasts (4K)

With a deep roar, a massive, mountain-like body flew out horizontally, blocking the path in front of the Fighting Spirit Academy.

It turned out to be a strange beast whose entire body was covered by a thick, deep yellow carapace.

The beast was covered in a ferocious and sharp carapace, resembling a suit of armor woven from terror and power. Each plate on the carapace was like a meticulously polished blade, its edges extremely sharp and gleaming with a dangerous light.

These panels are arranged closely together, forming an impregnable barrier that makes people dare not approach easily.

The beast's head had a thick, bony skull like that of a thrush, with a large horn resembling a sickle growing from each side of the skull. Although it was only a meter tall when it was crouching on the ground, its body length reached an exaggerated five meters.

"I've seen one of those weird-looking creatures again."

As the thunder roared, Huo Yuhao watched as the Soul Douluo referee activated his Martial Soul, directly lighting up his Martial Soul True Form and using his massive body to block the path of the plasma lightning.

The "Sea Soul Beast," a giant trilobite, disappeared in ancient times, leaving only its martial spirit and fossils in the world.

Although they are called sea spirit beasts, giant trilobites usually move in the seabed silt on the seabed. Therefore, even if they come to land, their combat ability will not be greatly weakened like other sea spirit masters.

The next moment, the returned plasma lightning crashed down, striking the giant trilobite's true form. The moment the plasma cannon, which would have severely injured an ordinary Soul Saint if it had taken a direct hit, struck the carapace, a deafening roar erupted, sparks flew, and the dazzling lightning temporarily blinded everyone on the Soul Arena.

However, the carapace remained completely unharmed, as if the lightning had only added to its majesty and domineering presence.

The giant trilobite stood in front of the Douling Academy members, its ferocious and sharp carapace protecting them like a moving mountain. Even Soul Saint level experts would be severely injured by the plasma, which could instantly kill them if they weren't careful. The plasma, however, had no effect whatsoever.

The giant trilobite slowly began to turn around, its dozens of densely packed, segmented legs slowly gripping the ground. It took more than ten seconds to turn half of its body around. Then, it simply floated up and quickly turned itself around.

Seemingly realizing that the grotesque, cone-like carapace shape was unsightly, the Soul Douluo with the giant trilobite martial soul slowly withdrew his martial soul true form, revealing a thin, old man.

"Douling Academy is eliminated."

The old man shakily raised his hand. He looked completely unharmed, but he was also genuinely shocked by the electric shock.

The giant trilobite's true form did not move very fast, but it shouldn't take more than ten seconds to turn half a circle. The reason it was so slow to turn around was mainly because some of the electric current had penetrated into its shell and almost cooked it.

This old man is practically a dead man in the Star Luo Empire. He's been enjoying his grandchildren at home all these years, living a very comfortable life.

As a result, the two Soul Douluos who were acting as referees for Shrek Academy were both thwarted, and a group of referees strongly requested that the Star Luo Royal Family seek another expert. These people were either Soul Saints or Soul Douluos, and they simply couldn't withstand the Shrek little monster's antics, so the Star Luo Royal Family had no choice but to turn their attention to this senior.

After all, the finals and even the semifinals are still far off, so it would be a bit embarrassing to have a Title Douluo as a referee right now.

This senior's martial soul is the ancient and extinct giant trilobite. It cannot be harmed by swords, axes, spears, or blades. Fire, ice, poison, and smoke cannot penetrate its body. Apart from having virtually no offensive power and extremely slow movement speed in its true form, it has virtually no weaknesses.

The Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul boasts unparalleled defensive power among other offensive Martial Souls, while also possessing terrifying strength, thus earning the title of a top-tier defensive Martial Soul.

However, if we only consider defensive capabilities and disregard everything else, this old man with the ancient beast giant trilobite martial soul is the true top-tier defensive martial soul. Apart from defensive capabilities, this martial soul really has nothing else.

If the main purpose of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament weren't to allow referees to shield defeated students from harm, the opponent's martial soul would indeed have very little use.

That's why this old man served as a referee his whole life. He was incredibly resilient. Although his movement speed was a bit slow, that was only after he activated his Martial Soul True Body. The opponent could simply fly over first and then activate their Martial Soul True Body to block the damage.

With his exceptional skills, this old man served as a referee in various competitions across the Star Luo Empire for over thirty years, until he finally retired a few years ago to enjoy a peaceful life at home.

Unexpectedly, I suffered a setback in my first meeting after being rehired today.

The description of the giant trilobite martial spirit is true: "No matter how you cut with a knife, chop with an axe, stab with a spear, or stab with a sword, you cannot harm its body; fire, ice, poison, and smoke cannot penetrate its interior." However, this description never mentions that it can withstand lightning.

The lightning dragon that Huo Yuhao summoned with Cherry Blossom Dance was far superior to the lightning snake that Bei Bei unleashed with Thunder Fury. As a powerful weapon capable of severely injuring a Soul Saint who was defending with all his might, the plasma instantly pierced the opponent's carapace, and the flowing lightning almost instantly burrowed into the interior of the giant trilobite's true form through the gaps in the carapace.

That's why the old man's expression was so bad after he finished transforming his Martial Soul True Form. He pointed angrily at the Soul Battle Stage and told the Soul Battle Team to leave the stage.

It's like an eighty-year-old mother has lost her child. She finally got a chance to be rehired, and now she's lost such a big person.

Huo Yuhao landed gracefully, crouching down to dissipate the force of his fall before slowly standing up and looking at the old man.

Such a hard carapace.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but think of the giant corpse in the snow mountain cave once again. Compared to the other creature, the giant trilobite at least had fossils and martial spirit left in the world, so it wasn't that it didn't even have a legend.

Everyone in the audience who witnessed this scene gaped in astonishment.

What they saw was a thunder cannon that had been charged with energy by five Soul Kings and two Soul Masters for more than a minute, which was then blocked by Huo Yuhao with a katana. Not only that, the other party even flung the plasma from the thunder cannon back.

Judging from the referee's tone, if the other side hadn't intervened in time, Douling Academy would probably have been wiped out.

The students of the Sun Moon Empire's Royal Soul Master Academy all stood up, their mouths agape, staring incredulously at the scene unfolding before them.
