Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 695 Harmony between Heaven and Man (6K)

Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan did not stop the two from staring at each other; deep in his eyes, there was only shock.

He could clearly sense that these two young men, whose cultivation was far inferior to his own, had already completely surpassed him in certain realms. Was this the level that the most outstanding young generation of powerhouses could reach?

Zheng Zhan was absolutely certain that, given enough time to grow, their future achievements would far surpass his own.

"Both sides step back and prepare for the match."

The moment Zheng Zhan finished speaking, the two powerful auras that had been locked in a fierce confrontation vanished abruptly, receding almost simultaneously like a receding tide.

The two of them simultaneously sighed in admiration.

Long Aotian nodded to Huo Yuhao, making no attempt to hide the admiration in his eyes, before turning and walking back to his own half of the court.

Despite the numerous damages on the competition stage, they seemed to completely disappear in his eyes.

Even when he reached the crack, it seemed as if something in the air was supporting his body, allowing him to walk through it with ease.

A hint of surprise flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

As the saying goes, "Give a peach and receive a jade in return," Huo Yuhao learned a lot of skills from Long Aotian, so naturally he couldn't be stingy.

Huo Yuhao generously shared his knowledge of techniques such as "Walking on the Water and Stepping on the Moon" and many others.

Long Aotian had already reached the edge of the arena.

He turned around, but did not unleash the same intense aura as before.

But just by standing there, he seemed to have become one with the entire competition stage.

No spirit rings appeared beneath Huo Yuhao's feet, but his eyes turned an eerie gray, giving off a terrifying aura that kept strangers at bay.

"The match begins!" Referee Zheng Zhan announced from the competition platform.

Huo Yuhao suddenly looked up, and in an instant, his aura solidified. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and as if gliding along the ground, he rushed straight towards Long Aotian.

Upon hearing this, Long Aoqi's aura hardened.

Rings of spirit energy rose up from beneath his feet.

Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—a total of seven spirit rings, exceeding the theoretically optimal spirit ring ratio, making him a Spirit Saint with a full four ten-thousand-year spirit rings.

Long Aotian stood still, his hands forming a strange gesture in front of his chest: his right hand was raised, palm facing left, fingertips pointing down, while his left hand was raised, fingertips pointing up, palm facing his right hand.

With just this simple pose, a layer of lustrous sheen emanated from his body. In that translucent light, he appeared as if he had transformed into a jade sculpture.

"Buzz—"

Huo Yuhao's right palm turned crystalline, and with a single strike, Emperor Palm - Great Cold Without Snow slammed into the opponent's chest.

A dazzling blue-white light suddenly shone on the jade sculpture that Long Aotian had transformed into, but then it dissipated. Long Aotian's body swayed slightly, and the shimmering light on his body shattered at that moment, but not a single wisp of cold air penetrated his body.

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up immediately. What a brilliant idea!

He sensed that Long Aotian had completely fused his spiritual power and soul power, even with his entire body, and then merged them into the world to withstand his attack.

Moreover, the layer of light that condensed in front of the opponent clearly used some insights from the Flowing Water Sword technique in its defense, and it was able to completely dispel the cold air of the Great Cold Without Snow. Such a terrifying talent is not something that can be achieved simply by cultivating soul power quickly.

After blocking the attack, Long Aotian's eyes also revealed a hint of shock.

The chilling aura that Huo Yuhao unleashed was truly biting. If that palm strike had landed squarely on him, his fate would probably not have been much lighter than Wang Yanfeng's.

Missing his first attack, Huo Yuhao was sent flying more than ten meters away with a single step back. Long Aotian's Soul Saint strength was not achieved by taking drugs. He had been hunting for his fifth Soul Ring since he was twelve or thirteen years old, so there was absolutely no need for him to do so.

Four ten-thousand-year soul rings.

Even the chief referee, Zheng Zhan, couldn't help but glance at the ground with a guilty conscience. As a titled Douluo, he only had four ten-thousand-year soul rings.

For someone with only four ten-thousand-year soul rings to break through to the title level is absolutely a miracle in the Sun Moon Empire's drug research.

It can only be said that the saying "the poor rely on mutation, and the rich rely on technology" is always true. In Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao has never seen a Title Douluo with a non-optimal Soul Ring configuration.

Even on the platform, Crown Prince Xu Tianran, Jing Hongchen, and the mysterious Imperial Advisor all showed fluctuations in their auras after witnessing the seven spirit rings rising from Long Aotian's body.

Long Aotian is the first person to achieve a seven-ring Soul Saint in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament without any manipulation. Even Ma Xiaotao in the previous tournament, although she broke through to the Soul Saint realm, ultimately did not have time to obtain her seventh Soul Ring.

Long Aotian took a sudden step forward, attacking Huo Yuhao who was retreating rapidly. Without any extra movements or releasing any soul skills, he raised his right hand and threw a punch at Huo Yuhao from a distance.

Instantly, the entire arena trembled slightly. Huo Yuhao, facing him directly, felt as if his opponent wasn't just Long Aotian, but rather all the air within the arena's protective shield. Even the sunlight seemed to become part of the enemy.

Although no unusual phenomena appeared, Huo Yuhao felt as if the world itself had changed color.

A golden wave of energy rose up beside Long Aotian!

His already incredibly strong right arm suddenly grew even larger the moment he threw that punch.

In an instant, Long Aotian's right fist seemed to be a cannonball fired, smashing towards Huo Yuhao in front of him. The fist, compressed to the extreme, had just been delivered when it produced a mind-shaking air explosion.

boom!!!

A tremendous roar resounded throughout the entire Soul Arena, and everyone's attention, whether in the audience seats or the VIP seats, was completely drawn to Long Aotian.

He gathered the power of heaven and earth into his fist intent, and with unstoppable force, his magnificent momentum exploded towards Huo Yuhao in an instant.

This is certainly not a true control of heaven and earth as a means of attack.

Not to mention Long Aotian, even quasi-god level powerhouses don't have this ability.

Using the power of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers to launch an attack involves the realm of law-based attacks, something that a Soul Saint could not possibly execute.

At the moment, Long Aotian can only use that trace of artistic conception to unleash attacks similar to "fist intent" and "palm intent" to imitate the great trend of heaven and earth.

Even so, it was already astonishing enough.

It would be impossible to do this without an extremely unique and profound understanding of mental strength and combat skills.

If Huo Yuhao were in a different identity, he would have a way to break through such a fierce attack. He only needs to activate his Thundercloud Avatar to reduce the force of Long Aotian's punch by at least 70%.

However, Huo Yuhao is currently still disguised as Hun Tiancan, so other methods must be used to deal with him.
