Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 602 The Hand of Eternal Freezing (Daily Voyage)

"Senior, are all plant-type soul beasts' ideas this simple? If I were a soul master with extreme light and fire attributes, would you just consider me to have passed the level?"

Lie Huoxing snorted and said, "No wonder your martial soul has such a strong dark aura; it must be because you're so glib."

"Saying all this is useless. My test has already been planned. You will face an opponent of equal strength, possessing the power of the Ultimate Flame. However, it will be aided by the Blazing Yang Spring. Defeating it will pass you. Otherwise, you can leave."

As she spoke, the fiery apricot, with her large body, suddenly leaned back, and a strange, fiery red vortex appeared at its very tip. Like a whale sucking in water, it drew a large amount of fiery red water from the blazing Yang Spring and then suddenly spewed it into the air.

The fiery red water column remained suspended, and wherever it passed, the surrounding air distorted violently. The temperature in the valley surged once again.

"The test begins." Liehuo Xingjiao's emotionless voice rang out.

A fiery red water column suddenly descended from the sky, heading straight for Huo Yuhao.

Just then, Liehuo Xingjiao's voice rang out again, "Oh, right, you're not allowed to leave the area around me where no plants grow, lest you harm other beings. If you leave this area, you lose."

"Adding conditions and rules only after a fight has already broken out is not a good quality in the human world."

Huo Yuhao's words carried a hint of wariness. Not being able to leave this area meant that he would be fighting in the hottest place in the valley, apart from the lake.

During this battle, his ultimate ice will be weakened to the greatest extent, while the intense heat of the Fiery Apricot will be amplified to the greatest extent.

It doesn't matter. If the other party adds two more rules for him for no reason, then what's the point of him fighting?

"I'm not human. Besides, don't you humans say that might makes right? Right now, my fist is the biggest."

Hearing Liehuo Xingjiao's perfunctory words, Huo Yuhao could only take a deep breath.

Facing the approaching Yangquan Water, two spirit rings fell from Huo Yuhao's feet one after the other.

A platinum spirit ring and a blue-gold spirit ring—the aura of two million-year spirit rings swept out without reservation, causing Liehuo Xingjiaoshu and Youxiang Qiluo to exclaim in surprise: "God-level spirit rings? Two of them?"

Huo Yuhao ignored the other party's surprise. He put his index and middle fingers together, and a truncated trihedral ice shard about half the size of a person was formed by Huo Yuhao. Under Huo Yuhao's control, it flew towards Yangquan Water without reservation.

"laugh----"

Although Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice technique is far superior to what it used to be, his power still dropped significantly due to the greatly weakened environment.

However, condensing such a narrow-bottomed triangular ice pillar was not difficult for Huo Yuhao. The triangular ice pillar formed by the ultimate ice collided with the Yangquan water and instantly produced a violent hissing sound before being rapidly melted.

This process inevitably takes time. Although the Yangquan water melted rapidly after impacting the triangular ice pillar made of extreme ice, it was still inevitably forcibly split into two parts. On the contrary, Huo Yuhao, who was standing behind the triangular ice pillar, was not affected at all.

"Um?"

Liehuo Xingjiao let out a soft exclamation. She really hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to use such a clever method to dodge the first wave of impact from Yangquan Water with extremely low soul power consumption.

Huo Yuhao touched the ground with his toes and darted out like lightning. He flipped in the air, took a few more steps, stepped on a truncated trihedral ice shard that had not yet completely melted, and used the momentum to rush forward towards Lie Huoxing Jiaoshu, holding a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell in his hand.

Although Lie Huoxing didn't know exactly what a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball was, the terrifying aura emanating from the cannonball in Huo Yuhao's hand could not be hidden from her.

For a moment, Liehuo Xingjiaoshu no longer cared about her persona of remaining silent and pretending to be a master.

"Hey, hey, hey, you were wrong, you were wrong. Put that thing away. Look behind you, that's your real opponent. Let's talk this out!"

Liehuo Xingjiaoshu shook rapidly; she never expected Huo Yuhao to carry such a dangerous thing with him.

How could Huo Yuhao not know that his opponent should be that clump of Yangquan water that fell to the ground and condensed into a human figure?

But Huo Yuhao didn't care about that. In order to ensure that Liehuo Xingjiaoshu wouldn't add any more rules for him in the upcoming assessments, it was necessary to give her a warning.

The condensed spring water formed a woman's figure, indistinct yet clearly visible, with a long, fiery red braid hanging down to her feet. She had an exceptionally beautiful figure. Unfortunately, the temperature emanating from her body was terrifying.

"Really, senior? I only need to deal with that mass of Yangquan water?"

"Uh-huh."

Huo Yuhao didn't know how the Flaming Apricot Cabbage could nod so vigorously, but since the goal had been achieved, Huo Yuhao put away the fixed-mounted shells.

Turning his head to look at the figure formed from the Yangquan water, Huo Yuhao's eyes finally became serious again.

A crimson light emanated from the fiery apricot blossom, instantly transforming the fire woman's color into a golden-red. She spread her arms at her sides, each wielding a flaming longsword. With a light touch of her toes, she lunged at Huo Yuhao, raising her swords high and unleashing a devastating slash.

Huo Yuhao's mental detection was so precise that he could see even the most minute elemental changes. He was speechless to discover that when the fire woman unleashed her twin blades, countless fiery red fire elements rapidly converged towards them.

The moment she unleashed her twin blades, the fiery aura at the tip of the longswords already exceeded ten feet.

Is this Xiao Wu, the Soft Bone Douluo, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils?

I've never heard of this character being skilled with a knife.

Huo Yuhao's hands were instantly enveloped in icy energy. Ever since the Snow Empress and Ice Empress fused their rings, Huo Yuhao's Ice Empress Claw had changed once again. The original icy claws had faded away, replaced by a pair of translucent, white, and cold hands.

But these dazzling white hands emitted wisps of black, chilling energy that were so terrifying that they actually suppressed the temperature brought by the Yangquan spring near Huo Yuhao.

[Hand of Eternal Freeze: An enchanted hand formed from the extreme low temperatures of the Ice and Snow Emperors, transformed from the Ice Emperor's Claw. Its shape can be slightly altered when necessary, and it possesses powerful freezing abilities.]

It's so cold!

Huo Yuhao rushed towards Flame Dance, meeting the twin blades unleashed by the extreme fire.
