Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 579 The Bride Robbery (Part 2)

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er moved. Wang Dong'er unfurled her wings, carrying Huo Yuhao as they glided down from the air. They landed gracefully at the edge of the ice. Hand in hand, they walked side by side. There was no acceleration, no rushing. They simply moved slowly forward across the ice.

"Watch out for Huo Yuhao; he might switch martial souls at any time."

Ling Luohuan's cold voice carried a hint of melancholy, but more so, caution.

She had fought alongside Huo Yuhao before, which made her understand his strength even more.

Back then, that boy, who only had two spirit rings, was able to use almost miraculous power to reverse the situation and kill the spirit king and instantly kill the spirit emperor. His sword was unseen and he swept everything away, leading everyone to win the championship in the most prestigious competition.

Not to mention that five years later, he has become a Soul King-level powerhouse. Her choice of Huo Yuhao today may seem impulsive, but it is actually an eruption of emotions that have been accumulating in her heart over the years.

When the competition ended, Ling Luohuan was actually filled with disappointment because she discovered an ice-attribute soul master who was far more talented than herself—Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice left a very deep impression on her. She knew very well that in the near future, no one in the academy, or even on the continent, would be able to compete with him in terms of ice attributes.

But in her heart, there was also a kind of expectation, an expectation to stand with him again on the competition field or battlefield. As long as he was there, her strength would increase dramatically, and the feeling of controlling the ultimate ice was simply too wonderful.

Ling Luohuan firmly believed that if he could cultivate with Huo Yuhao, his cultivation speed would far exceed that of now, just like how Huo Yuhao helped Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire for several years, which made Ma Xiaotao's cultivation speed increase instead of decrease, and she broke through to level 70 during the competition.

She did indeed harbor a tiny, inexplicable feeling for Huo Yuhao.

Perhaps it stemmed from Huo Yuhao's calm demeanor during battle command, and his commanding presence.

Perhaps it stems from the wonderful feeling of fighting side by side.

Who can say for sure?

Huo Yuhao's current performance, even just a few moments of it, is fatally attractive to many people.

Ling Luo'ai didn't issue this challenge for revenge; she simply wanted to see what level the young man, who had suddenly unleashed a fatal attraction to her, had reached in the realm of ice five years later.

Wu Feng's already extremely robust body swelled even more, and the burst of power caused a large hole to be punched in the solid ice beneath her feet. She charged straight toward Huo Yuhao with an intensely bright red light.

Compared to the somewhat lost Ling Luochen, Wu Feng's thoughts were much purer. He wanted to take this opportunity to beat Huo Yuhao up. After all, Huo Yuhao was so strong that he could leave him in the dust. He had fought Huo Yuhao several times and even defeated one of his bosses.

They attacked from the left and right, respectively, and both of them were already covered in several of Ning Tian's buffs.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er did not show any signs of tension. Huo Yuhao's mental energy fluctuated slightly, and his mental shockwave was already emanating, aimed only at Wu Feng.

Huo Yuhao knew very well that the spiritual power of the auspicious beast was not easy to deal with. Rather than expending his strength on it, he would rather get rid of Wu Feng, that troublemaker, first.

"Huo Yuhao, I'm calling you 'Aba Aba Aba'!"

Wu Feng shouted excitedly, and his dragon claw slammed down towards Huo Yuhao's forehead. He took the brunt of Huo Yuhao's mental attack and froze in mid-sentence, babbling incoherently.

"Get out!"

Seeing Wu Feng's splitting headache, Huo Yuhao slapped him away. With such low mental strength, how dare he charge straight at him? Did he drink too much yesterday?

Just then, Wang Qiu'er, who was wearing glasses, finally arrived. If it weren't for the fact that one of them was wearing glasses and the other wasn't, Huo Yuhao really wouldn't be able to tell them apart at a glance. Wang Qiu'er held the Sword of Judgment and suddenly brought it down.

"Such strong mental control!" On the ferry, an elderly man couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Elder Xuan's eyes were also filled with admiration! He had witnessed how much Huo Yuhao had done for the Soul Guidance Department in the past two years, and to be honest, while he was gratified, he also had some concerns.

There were concerns that Huo Yuhao might focus too much on his soul tools and neglect his cultivation. But now it seems that these concerns were largely unfounded.

The wings of the Goddess of Light behind Wang Dong'er were like knives, clashing with the Sword of Judgment, producing a loud, metallic clang. Wang Dong'er, however, slowly took two steps back, easily deflecting Wang Qiu'er's powerful sword strike.

To learn the Flowing Water Stepping on the Moon technique, one must first learn the Flowing Water Swordplay. Clearly, after enduring so much beatings, Wang Dong'er knew exactly how to deflect the force from the opponent's sword.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to intervene, Ling Luochen's soul skill arrived. After she had a clear understanding of the battle situation, her soul power erupted in full force.

A layer of ice armor first landed on Wang Qiu'er, enhancing her defense. Immediately afterward, an ice prison was accurately predicted and released, its target not Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, but rather Wu Feng, who had been sent flying by Huo Yuhao.

The ice prison, with a diameter of over ten meters, is composed of twenty-four thick ice pillars. The moment it emerged from the ice surface, it instantly formed a powerful protective and controlling force, fixing the Wu Feng, who had been sent flying, in place.

Although no battle area was defined, both sides had clearly regarded Sea God Lake as the arena for their battles. In that case, Ling Luochen naturally couldn't stand by and watch Wu Feng be sent flying with a single palm strike.

To be honest, Wu Feng disliked the ice prison that enveloped her. Her Red Dragon Martial Soul was fire-attribute and naturally resistant to ice elements. However, she still admired Ling Luochen's timely and accurate control.

When her back hit the ice pillar, Wu Feng felt a bit short of breath, but fortunately, she wasn't too affected because she was in her Martial Soul Possession state.

After adjusting his blood energy, dark red flames covered his entire body. Wu Feng's second and third soul rings shone simultaneously, and Dragon's Fury and Dragon's Armor fully covered him. Then, he roared and charged towards Huo Yuhao once again.

"Whoosh—"

Xi Xi's lightning arrow arrived at this moment, shooting towards Huo Yuhao like a bolt of lightning. The speed of this arrow was no less than that of Tang Xiaolei in the competition.

With a flick of her wrist, Xixi unleashed a beam of blue light that arrived in front of Huo Yuhao almost instantly.

Huo Yuhao wasn't the only one who gained a lot from the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament; the other participants also grew as a result.

Xixi's arrow, which was so fast and unexpected that it was impossible to defend against, was the result of her understanding after participating in the competition.
