Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 390 Jing Hongchen's Tricks (Daily 10,000 words)

Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen said in a deep voice, "Elder Xuan, and this unknown senior, possess at least three trigger-type level nine soul tools on me. If I am attacked, the power of these three level nine soul tools is enough to raze the entire Shrek City to the ground. And no force can stop it."

In terms of age, he was about the same as Yan Shaozhe, so it was normal for him to address Elder Xuan and Elder Mu as seniors. His revealing of his abilities at this moment was clearly a sign of weakness.

This is Shrek Academy. As far as Jing Hongchen knows, there are probably more than five Super Douluo here.

No matter how powerful his soul tool was, his cultivation level was only ninety-three. In close combat, he could never be a match for so many Super Douluos. However, he had indeed come prepared, and he believed that Shrek Academy wouldn't actually attack him. That wouldn't be in accordance with Shrek Academy's consistent principles.

Elder Mu said calmly, "Once you enter my Sea God Pavilion, you are a guest. If I really wanted to harm you, your so-called level nine soul tool might not be able to unleash its power."

Jing Hongchen did not refute, but instead showed a hint of relief, chuckled and said, "I am deeply honored to be a guest of the Sea God Pavilion."

Led by Elder Xuan, he quickly arrived at the second floor.

More than a month had passed since Huo Yuhao and the other two entered deep meditation. Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and the others had already left, but Huo Yuhao's complexion was not particularly good. He was still in deep meditation, as if he had encountered something puzzling.

Jing Hongchen's gaze was completely drawn to Elder Mu. Elder Mu's aged face looked frail and he did not exude any powerful aura.

But Jing Hongchen was absolutely certain that the old man's strength and cultivation were not something that could be discerned by sight alone. He never expected that there would be such a powerful figure in Shrek Academy. He increasingly felt that his caution was justified.

"Hello, may I ask your honorable name, senior?" Jing Hongchen bowed slightly and greeted Elder Mu.

Old Master Mu smiled slightly and said, "My name is Mu En, and I believe there are not many people in this world who still remember my name."

Upon hearing Elder Mu's name, Jing Hongchen's face indeed showed complete bewilderment. In his memory, and in his investigation of Shrek Academy, there was indeed no record of this name. But the more bewildered he was, the stronger his wariness of Elder Mu became.

This Elder Mu is probably a legendary level 99 Limit Douluo.

For a moment, Jing Hongchen's heart pounded with apprehension. He even began to regret asking to see Ma Xiaotao. He really wasn't confident about making a move under the nose of a level 99 Limit Douluo.

Fortunately, Elder Mu quickly spoke up again: "Xuanzi, take Hall Master Jing over there."

"Follow me." Elder Xuan turned and walked towards the higher steps, leading Jing Hongchen up to the third floor of the Sea God Pavilion, while Elder Mu remained lying in the same spot, slowly closing his eyes, seemingly resting.

The Sea God Pavilion is on the third floor. The first thing you see is a small hall of only about twenty square meters. There are two passageways on either side, leading deeper into the building. Elder Xuan walked to the left and stopped at the fifth door.

With a flash of golden light, the door in front opened. The group entered a quiet room one after another.

Ma Xiaotao, who was lying flat on the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Bed, seemed to sense that someone was coming and slowly stopped her cultivation.

To be honest, Ma Xiaotao was supposedly cultivating, but in reality, she was doing mostly useless work. Her face looked pale, and her originally rosy lips were now purplish-black, giving her a somewhat sinister look.

Although Ma Xiaotao's martial soul did not completely transform into a black phoenix thanks to Huo Yuhao's efforts, the evil fire that had grown strong after being nurtured was constantly hindering Ma Xiaotao's cultivation.

Elder Mu was pessimistic about whether Huo Yuhao could suppress her evil temper as usual.

Ma Xiaotao's martial soul is only one step away from transforming into a black phoenix. It is true that Huo Yuhao's martial soul can suppress Ma Xiaotao's evil fire to a great extent, but once Huo Yuhao leaves even half a step, those evil fires will probably reignite.

"May I sense the soul power within her?"

"Alright." Elder Mu's voice rang out, and then, to everyone's astonishment, a golden figure silently appeared beside Jing Hongchen. This figure was indeed Elder Mu, but it turned out to be just an illusory phantom of light.

At this moment, Elder Mu was no longer hunched over, but stood ramrod straight, his entire body radiating golden light. Although it was only a reflection of light, it seemed as if it were solid gold. He stood there calmly, and everything around him turned completely golden. Rich light elements flowed in the air, making it look quite mystical.

"What... what kind of soul skill is this?" Jing Hongchen finally lost control of her emotions and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Soul Masters can actually wield their power like this? Jing Hongchen felt his eyes had been opened. But even more so, he felt trembling with fear.

Jing Hongchen took a deep breath, calming his shocked emotions. He took two steps forward to Ma Xiaotao's side, first testing her body for signs of surging lust, then pressing his hand on her wrist to assess her condition. He quickly stepped back, shaking his head regretfully.

What no one saw was that the moment he pressed down on Ma Xiaotao's wrist, his fingertips, pressed against her skin, trembled slightly. Even Elder Mu didn't notice that slight change.

Inside the secret room, Huo Yuhao's deep meditation continued, but his mental sea was in complete chaos.

Not long ago, a crimson light silently passed through the barrier of the Golden Tree, seemingly trying to rush into Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

Fortunately, Qian Daoliu, Electrolux, and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm were all very familiar with this situation. From their initial reckless confrontation with the power in Wang Dong's spiritual sea to Huo Yuhao almost losing his mind due to the divine revelation of a large group of evil gods, they had all handled it well.

As the saying goes, "a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit," Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea was incredibly resilient at this moment, with the three of them providing layers of protection to prevent any divine power from unknown sources from rushing into Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

Huo Yuhao's spiritual phantom appeared within the Sea of ​​Spirit, forming a large net that tightly bound a mass of scarlet divine power. White, gold, and gray forces, three different types of power, firmly trapped this mass of divine power in the middle, rendering any struggle futile.

[You have been chosen by the God of Asura to become his examiner. Completing the three trials of Asura will grant you the position of God of Asura.]

You have been chosen by the God of Asura to become his examiner.

You have been chosen by the God of Asura.

The crimson divine power surged back and forth, radiating spiritual energy fluctuations towards Huo Yuhao.
