Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 47 Dark Duel!

Of course, given how expensive the Xuan Shui Pills are on the black market, it's hard to say that they weren't the work of the Xu family themselves. After all, most of the Xuan Shui Pills given away as gifts would be consumed within the receiving forces, and there's basically no possibility of them leaking out. It's hard to say exactly how many of those Xuan Shui Pills on the black market were released by the Xu family themselves.

However, for the Xu family, this situation naturally only has advantages and no disadvantages. The price of Xuan Shui Dan on the black market is as high as 10,000 gold soul coins. When the forces that receive the congratulatory gift see Xuan Shui Dan, they will feel that they have gotten a bargain and sigh that the Xu family is really rich and powerful, allowing the Xu family to gain a favor for free.

At the same time, by controlling the amount of Xuan Shui Dan that flows out each month, the Xu family can make a fortune while maintaining the high-end status of Xuan Shui Dan, which is a win-win situation.

This is because Huo Yuhao's information channels were too low-level before, and he couldn't find out about such a good thing as Xuan Shui Dan at all. Otherwise, let alone Xuan Shui Dan costing 10,000 gold coins each, even if it cost 20,000 gold coins each, he would have gritted his teeth and bought a few.

Xu Sanshi refused to admit that he had been so easily defeated by a nine-year-old child. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked like he wanted to devour someone.

"Let's add some more spice to the game, since senior wants another match."

Huo Yuhao put away the Vajra Umbrella in his right hand and took out the katana from his storage soul tool.

"One Mystic Water Pill is too few. If Senior Xu loses the next Soul Battle, we'll have to offer two more Mystic Water Pills."

Huo Yuhao's voice wasn't loud, but every word seemed to strike Xu Sanshi's heart.

"Of course, since Senior has placed such a big bet, I can't be stingy. We'll void all the rules from the last Soul Battle and follow the normal Soul Battle rules. Besides, there's no need for us to continue with the best-of-three trick. If I lose to Senior Xu in the next Soul Battle, I'll forfeit my right to win the third round."

"boom!"

It was as if a fixed-position soul-guided cannonball had been detonated in the Soul Arena, leaving the already bewildered crowd even more shocked.

Following Huo Yuhao's suggestion, he not only accepted Xu Sanshi's proposal to fight another match, but also deliberately gave up the best-of-three format, which was extremely advantageous to him and would give him two match points. Instead, he chose to change the next Soul Battle into a single-elimination deathmatch.

Moreover, the most incredible thing is that Huo Yuhao took the initiative to request the abolition of all the previous restrictions on the Soul Battle, so Xu Sanshi can fully unleash his own strength and use the Soul Skills brought by the two Soul Rings. At the same time, there is no longer a sixty-second limit, which means that one of the two must fall on the Soul Battle stage in order to determine the winner!

"Duel in the Dark! This is the Dark Duel!"

"Oh no, I just finished my drink! Aaaaaah!"

"At least you still have food. I'm completely out of food and drink! Damn it, can anyone go buy me something?!"

The students watching the match erupted in excitement, almost standing up, especially those from Xingluo, who were utterly astonished.

"How come this kid loves dueling even more than we Star Luo people? Besides, the days when bloody duels and arenas were popular in Star Luo were long gone. That dates back to the reign of the Star Luo White Tiger Emperor, right???"

"So, dare to accept?"

Huo Yuhao's gaze became extremely sharp at this moment, so much so that Xu Sanshi dared not look directly at him. His eyes were like those of an owl in the night, sharp and ruthless, as if they were about to stretch out their claws and tear their enemies apart at any moment.

"Why wouldn't I dare? It's a deal!"

At this moment, Xu Sanshi's pent-up anger was stirred up by Huo Yuhao's few words and turned into a battle. Xu Sanshi was about to go all out to let this kid know how powerful he was, while Huo Yuhao wanted to take another piece of delicious meat from Xu Sanshi.

With the referee's impartiality, the Dark Duel between Xu Sanshi and Huo Yuhao is officially in effect!

The referee also got into the mood and joined in the students' antics.

"Fourth-grade student Xu Sanshi challenges Huo Yuhao, an outsider, to a dark duel, the decisive round, with no additional rules or restrictions. The battle begins!"

Huo Yuhao gently closed his eyes, then opened them again. His already dazzling golden eyes were now ignited with illusory golden flames, making him appear even more noble. A pale yellow hundred-year soul ring rose up from beneath his feet.

On the other side, Xu Sanshi was equally unyielding. His body swelled up again, stretching his school uniform taut. In his right hand, the enormous tortoise shell shield appeared, and two yellow spirit rings emerged one after the other, bringing an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Both of them slowly stepped to the side, their sharp eyes fixed on each other, their intense soul power rising continuously, one side golden and the other black, clearly distinct in the arena.

Huo Yuhao swung the soul-guided hand axe in his left hand, and the first soul ring under his feet shone. Golden flames simultaneously ignited on the blade of the hand axe and the edge of the katana in his right hand. The onlookers even felt a moment of disorientation at this moment, as an unparalleled divinity flowed quietly down from Huo Yuhao like water.

Even though Huo Yuhao was walking towards him very slowly, Xu Sanshi inexplicably felt a sense of pressure from Huo Yuhao. In order to dispel this discomfort, Xu Sanshi took the initiative to move.

With a sudden shout, Xu Sanshi charged towards Huo Yuhao like a black lightning bolt. His mad dash caused the Soul Battle Arena to tremble almost imperceptibly with each step he took.

Xu Sanshi was incredibly fast. His physical attributes were extremely powerful, and he was practically a raging bull when he ran.

When he was about five meters away from Huo Yuhao, Xu Sanshi suddenly leaped up, gripped the black tortoise shell shield with both hands, lit up his first spirit ring, and activated the Xuanming Tremor!

A hint of smugness flashed in Xu Sanshi's eyes. He had only been careless before, which allowed Huo Yuhao to directly block his little brother with the Soul Guidance Ray Gun, resulting in a regrettable defeat. Now that he had jumped three meters high, what could Huo Yuhao possibly do?

He is about to use swift and decisive means to show Huo Yuhao that he will defeat him effortlessly in just sixty seconds using only his first soul skill!

However, when faced with Xu Sanshi leaping high into the air, Huo Yuhao's lips curled into an enigmatic smile.

What is he laughing at!

Xu Sanshi felt a sudden panic, and the next moment, Huo Yuhao jumped up in sync, his left hand's folding soul-guided axe folding away with a soft 'click'.

Taking advantage of his late start, Huo Yuhao suddenly rammed his chest into Xu Sanshi, who was in mid-air, causing Xu Sanshi's body to sway as he was unable to bear the weight.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao's freed left hand pressed down hard on Xu Sanshi's right shoulder in mid-air, the two almost touching. Huo Yuhao's right hand, holding the katana, slashed upwards towards the red dot on Xu Sanshi's neck!
