Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 443 What are you waiting for? (Daily 10,000 views)

His long black hair was simply tied back with a hairband, and his face looked somewhat unhealthy and pale, yet he was handsome enough to make any man sigh.

However, his eyes seemed lifeless, and even his movements appeared somewhat slow.

The man before me possessed a cold, handsome quality, seemingly devoid of any emotion.

In his hand was a sword, a long sword about four feet long and entirely black.

To be precise, that thing looks like a stick that is slightly sword-like. Apart from the shape being somewhat similar, it has nothing to do with a sword at all.

But Huo Yuhao slowly drew his katana, because the excitement in the man's eyes was almost overflowing. The last time he saw such a sharp look in his eyes was on Genichiro.

However, Genichiro's battles are for the protection of Ashina Country, while the guy in front of him has a thirst for battle that is more like Isshin, the monster known as the Sword Demon, whose mind is filled with nothing but the idea of ​​climbing to the top of swordsmanship.

"If you want to fight here, do you have the money?"

Huo Yuhao's first question startled the man in front of him, but he immediately took out a valuable Gold Soul Coin card. The level of this card indicated that the other party had at least 100,000 Gold Soul Coins in reserve.

"Then we don't need to change locations."

Huo Yuhao also took out a Gold Soul Coin card of the same value and threw it on the ground.

"Juechen, tone it down a bit, people..."

A woman of average appearance and figure followed behind the man. She was about to say a few words of advice when she realized that the atmosphere seemed a bit off. The two of them had already entered a fighting state without saying much.

"Awesome."

The woman glanced at Huo Yuhao, whose eyes also gleamed with sharpness, and sighed silently. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy certainly didn't have someone like him. It seemed that he must be an exchange student from Shrek Academy.

Long ago, when Ji Juechen heard that exchange students had arrived at Shrek Academy, he stopped what he was doing and wanted to find someone to fight. However, the other students at Shrek were all Soul Masters, and they wanted to follow their teachers around and learn as much as they could. Ji Juechen couldn't find anyone to fight.

He Caitou was almost caught by this person, but fortunately, Ye Xiaosheng, the nominal elder brother, informed He Caitou. After learning that there was a freak in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy who was looking for someone to fight with while carrying a meteorite, He Caitou immediately moved into Mingde Hall with his bedding and pillow.

Since staying up all night was allowed inside Mingde Hall, he didn't want to make things difficult for himself. With Huo Yuhao, that knife-wielding freak, in front of him, He Caitou had no interest in going up there to get beaten up.

And that's why, after going around in circles, Ji Juechen finally caught up with his target, Huo Yuhao, who had always been idle and wandering around aimlessly.

Two yellow, two purple, and two black spirit rings rose gracefully from beneath his feet.

"My name is Ji Juechen, I'm going to go."

Huo Yuhao also put away the thought in his eyes. Although the other party was only a six-ring Soul Emperor, in Huo Yuhao's eyes, this guy was definitely more difficult to deal with than an ordinary seven-ring Soul Saint.

An invisible pressure began to permeate the training area. Ji Juechen gripped his sword with both hands, and six soul rings appeared. An incomparably sharp aura burst forth from his body almost instantly, and in that instant, he seemed to have merged with his extraterrestrial meteorite iron sword.

Infusing the sword with the soul. This is Ji Juechen's cultivation method. His own martial soul has been completely transformed into energy rather than a physical entity, perfectly integrated into the meteorite iron sword in his hand. Man is sword, sword is man, without distinction between them.

That sharp aura was his incomparably fierce sword intent.

With the infusion of his powerful soul force, the meteorite iron sword began to emit a slight hum, its tip seemingly trembling gently. Ji Juechen's aura was also surging at an astonishing speed. This sword strike, once unleashed, was sure to change the very fabric of the world.

"Huo Yuhao".

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao announce his name, Ji Juechen's figure flashed, and the meteorite iron heavy sword in his hand suddenly attacked Huo Yuhao, the powerful blow aimed straight at Huo Yuhao's throat.

Not all thrusts can be detected. Ji Juechen's sword aimed straight at Huo Yuhao's throat was one such example, but Huo Yuhao simply twisted his body slightly and avoided Ji Juechen's attack.

But if Ji Juechen only had this much skill, he naturally wouldn't be called a sword fanatic by the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. He switched from holding the sword with one hand to holding it with both hands, and with the help of the massive mass of the meteorite iron heavy sword, Ji Juechen slashed downwards with both hands, forcing Huo Yuhao to raise his knife to block. Huo Yuhao was then directly blasted back several steps by the enormous force.

Having been repelled by Ji Juechen's sword, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but put in a bit more effort, as this was the first time in a long time that he had been repelled in a battle.

This was certainly related to the fact that Huo Yuhao was stationary while Ji Juechen was in motion, and also to the fact that Ji Juechen's weapon was a meteorite iron heavy sword. Even so, Huo Yuhao still felt a familiar aura.

Ji Juechen held nothing back. He also sensed the dangerous aura emanating from Huo Yuhao. When the other party dodged his attack, he merely shifted his feet slightly, leaving ample room for his next attack. Moreover, Ji Juechen could sense that Huo Yuhao's calmness was merely a facade.

Or rather, a long-suppressed feeling.

Ji Juechen's attacks were like a storm, while Huo Yuhao simply fought and retreated, using the Flowing Water Sword to deflect Ji Juechen's attacks as much as possible. However, at this moment, there was only Ji Juechen and another woman on the field, and no one else. Huo Yuhao's heartstrings were still struck by Ji Juechen's heavy sword.

Without teachers, without friends, without anyone who knew him, Huo Yuhao looked at Ji Juechen, and the katana in his hand trembled slightly.

"Ziyan, you can go down now."

Ji Juechen suddenly sheathed his sword, as if he had realized something. He turned to look at Jing Ziyan with a very serious expression in his eyes, so much so that Jing Ziyan could only obediently nod and leave the training room.

"What are you waiting for?"

Ji Juechen seemed to understand everything Huo Yuhao was thinking, and he raised the meteorite iron heavy sword in his hand again.

Huo Yuhao still didn't raise his sword, but simply held it in his hand, looking like he was waiting for Huo Yuhao to attack.

"What are you waiting for!"

Ji Juechen raised his voice, which pierced Huo Yuhao's ears, making Huo Yuhao's breathing even more rapid. Instead of raising his sword, Huo Yuhao sheathed it.

Upon seeing this, Ji Juechen's face revealed a look of fervor and excitement.

"What are you waiting for?!"

As soon as Ji Juechen finished speaking, Huo Yuhao's eyes finally changed, becoming as sharp as a hawk and as cold as a hungry wolf.
