Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 46 His chrysanthemum tightened, and his tiger body trembled.

"not good!"

Bei Bei knew all too well how dangerous it was for a low-level Soul Master to withstand Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Zhen attack. Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Zhen was slow to activate and had a small range. Unless there was a control-type Soul Skill to assist it, it was difficult to hit anyone. These were all its weaknesses.

However, once this soul skill is successfully activated, it becomes an extremely unbeatable killer of low-level soul masters. Even he, if hit by the shock of Xuanming Zhen during a soul battle, would be stunned for at least a second.

At this time, Huo Yuhao's soul power level was only level eleven, while Xu Sanshi's soul power level was an astonishing level twenty-nine. The difference between the two soul power levels was an unbelievable eighteen levels. If Huo Yuhao were hit, being stunned for ten seconds would be considered mild.

Moreover, Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Zhen attack is not meant to hit people, but to slam the ground. Anyone within the range of Xuanming Zhen's influence will be forcibly stunned for a period of time.

"Why doesn't Yuhao run away?"

Bei Bei looked anxiously at Huo Yuhao, who was expressionless on the stands and seemed to be waiting for Xu Sanshi to make a move.

"Don't worry, Beibei, you have no idea what kind of monster Yuhao is."

Jie Chuan was not surprised at all by Huo Yuhao's unmoved performance. He had sparred with Huo Yuhao before, who was equipped with a full set of first-level soul tools. Even though both of them had held back that time, Jie Chuan was still amazed by the combat power that Huo Yuhao had unleashed.

Just before Xu Sanshi raised the Xuan Turtle Shield above his head, intending to bring it down heavily, Huo Yuhao finally moved. Although Huo Yuhao had sensed a large "danger" sign above his head thanks to the talent he had honed in battle, his movements were completely undisturbed.

Huo Yuhao held a soul-guided ray gun in his left hand, pressing the muzzle against Xu Sanshi's vital parts. The katana in his right hand had disappeared, replaced by a Vajra Umbrella emitting a dark light that had not yet been unfolded.

Huo Yuhao gently pushed forward, and Xu Sanshi gasped sharply, his anus tightening and his body trembling.

Everyone present gasped, and in an instant, the temperature in the entire arena rose several degrees.

At this point, anyone with eyes could see the outcome.

No matter how domineering Xu Sanshi's first soul skill is, it can only unleash its power if it can actually be smashed down. However, before Xu Sanshi smashes down the Xuan Turtle Shield, Huo Yuhao only needs to lightly pull the trigger of the soul guide ray gun, and it will definitely be a complete disaster.

At the same time, the defensive power of the Soul Guidance Vajra Umbrella that Huo Yuhao held in his right hand was obviously quite good. Even if Xu Sanshi really risked a complete disaster by smashing it down, Huo Yuhao could just open the Vajra Umbrella in his hand and withstand it head-on. At most, he would only suffer some minor injuries.

In other words, the situation on the field instantly changed to one where Huo Yuhao would not die, but Xu Sanshi would inevitably suffer a fate worse than death.

"Xu Sanshi, do you still want to continue the competition?"

The referee floated over and landed beside the two. Although the curve of his lips was suppressed by his muscles, it still twitched.

Damn it, these corners of my mouth are harder to suppress than a soul-guided ray gun!

The referee took a deep breath to keep himself from bursting out laughing, and turned his gaze to Xu Sanshi, waiting for his response.

"Me, me."

Xu Sanshi was distraught, unwilling to admit that he had lost, but also afraid that Huo Yuhao might slip up and leave him with nothing.

"Fourth-grade student Xu Sanshi challenged Huo Yuhao, an outsider, to a match. Huo Yuhao won!"

Without waiting for Xu Sanshi to admit his defeat, the referee, seeing the somewhat dejected Xu Sanshi, very understandingly announced the result of the match for him.

"Oh, oh, oh!"

"Huo Yuhao! Huo Yuhao! Huo Yuhao!"

Upon hearing the result of the match, the crowd below the arena erupted in cheers.

Whether it was Huo Yuhao's initial violent act of almost shattering the Xuan Turtle Shield with an axe without even releasing his martial soul and soul rings, or his calm behavior of drawing his gun and opening his umbrella while the Xuan Turtle Shield collapsed in front of him, both greatly increased the public's recognition of Huo Yuhao.

In their eyes, Huo Yuhao was no longer just a junior who was good at grilling fish and kebabs; he was also a promising talent with great potential in both soul tools and fighting spirit.

"This kid is interesting. Even though his opponent's soul power level is almost twenty levels higher than his, he doesn't even blink, showing an attitude of fighting to the death. Wang Yan, I heard you said this kid also opened a barbecue restaurant outside the academy?"

On the battle stage, an old man, covered in grease, with disheveled hair and tattered clothes, looked at his teacher beside him, holding a greasy roasted chicken leg in his hand, eating it with his mouth dripping with oil.

The old man's clothes, which should have been a white robe, had turned grayish-brown and were torn in several places, but he didn't seem to care. He even casually threw away the chicken leg bones he had finished eating and wiped his greasy hands with the robe.

"Yes, Elder Xuan, I've heard many teachers mention this kid. I've heard that his barbecue is absolutely delicious. However, I've been spending all my time in the library after class lately, so I haven't had a chance to try it."

"Let's talk about the barbecue tomorrow. I doubt it's that amazing. I'm more interested in seeing his Soul Master talent after he enrolls in school than his barbecue."

Just as the old man known as Elder Xuan was about to get up and leave, another disturbance broke out on the Soul Battle Stage.

"Let's have another fight! I refuse to accept this!"

Xu Sanshi's voice rang out, filled with strong resentment, but also mixed with some hesitation. After all, losing to a nine-year-old child was already shameful enough, but now he couldn't accept defeat and wanted to fight the other party again, which would be even more shameful.

As expected, Xu Sanshi's words drew boos from the crowd.

"Sure, but the price for another match won't be so simple."

Huo Yuhao had already heard about the wonders of the Profound Water Pill from Bei Bei, so naturally he wouldn't refuse.

According to Beibei, the effects of the Xuan Shui Dan are extremely powerful. Before level 20, it has the effect of cleansing the marrow and strengthening the body, and can also increase the soul power by at least one level. After level 20, although it cannot increase the soul power level, the effect of cleansing the marrow and strengthening the body can be retained, improving the user's cultivation aptitude.

The Profound Water Pill is a major asset of the Xu family behind Xu Sanshi. Its refining process requires a special blend of the essence blood of over ten types of water-attribute soul beasts and dozens of water-attribute plants, costing as much as a thousand gold soul coins.

Meanwhile, the Xu family's Xuan Shui Pills are generally not sold to the public, but only given as gifts or other presents. On the black market, a single Xuan Shui Pill can fetch as much as 10,000 gold soul coins, and there is no market for them.

I'm asking for your continued support of my new book. Please don't wait for it to be released; it will rank at 10,000 words per day after its release, which will definitely be enough to keep you entertained. New book sales are really important, so please help!
