Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 711 A-Shi, the Incarnation of Corruption (6K)

On the arena, watching Huo Yuhao descend from the sky, A Shi tried his best to gather his soul power and unleash his strongest soul skill to fight against him.

No matter how hard he tried, the flow of his soul power was as slow as a tortoise crawling.

Not only that, he even felt as if his blood was about to freeze.

My mind became increasingly drowsy, and my thoughts slowed down even more.

However, as one of the least popular young people in the Holy Spirit Cult who still manages to live a good life, A-Shi naturally possesses abilities that other evil soul masters cannot match.

A Shi's mouth opened wide, as if it could fit a fist, and the overwhelming cold air was sucked into his stomach. At the same time, a strange purplish-red ring appeared under A Shi's feet.

Almost the instant the ring appeared, the Soul Arena beneath Ah Shi's feet underwent a slight deformation. Various purplish-red fungal carpets grew rapidly, forming a thick layer in just a few breaths, like a thick plush carpet.

A sense of crisis even stronger than before flickered in Huo Yuhao's heart. Two soul-guided cannons suddenly appeared on Huo Yuhao's shoulders, and two cannonballs carrying terrifying kinetic energy roared and exploded in the direction of A Shi. Huo Yuhao also used the recoil to fly back again.

"Boom boom—"

Two explosions rang out almost simultaneously, but immediately afterward, the purplish-red fungal carpet was blasted into scattered pieces, and the purplish-red ring under A Shi's feet suddenly expanded.

Huo Yuhao retreated again, but he was a fraction too slow, and his left arm was grazed by the spreading purplish-red halo.

Just a moment after being exposed to that eerie light, Huo Yuhao's left arm was covered with dense fungal hyphae, which devoured all the clothes on his arm and began to gnaw at the flesh and blood of his left arm.

Huo Yuhao clenched his fist, turning his entire arm into a white frost-covered area, which froze and shattered the mycelium.

The ground of the Soul Arena now has some barely perceptible holes. These are not due to corrosion, but rather to decay and being devoured.

A look of shock flashed in Wang Qiu'er's eyes: "The Bone-Corroding Fungal Carpet, which is only found in Soul Beast Graveyards?"

In the Shrek viewing area, Qiu'er said the name somewhat uncertainly.

Wang Dong'er, standing to the side, couldn't help but ask, "Sister Qiu'er, do you recognize this? What kind of martial spirit is this? Why wasn't it mentioned in class at the academy?"

Wang Qiu'er shook her head: "Do you still remember the Netherworld Giant Wolf spirit that Soul Hall Soul Nana controlled? The Netherworld Giant Wolf is a soul beast that is distributed in the Soul Beast Graveyard."

"Soul Beast Graveyards are gathering areas that soul beasts spontaneously go to when they are on the verge of death. There are several such places in soul beast forests of all sizes. Bone-corroding fungus carpet is a specialty of soul beast graveyards, which can quickly decompose and devour the corpses of soul beasts."

Just as Wang Qiu'er was explaining, Huo Yuhao had already changed his tactics. The roaring cannons shot into the sky, like a thousand trees blooming in the east wind at night. One after another, the brilliant cannonballs landed in the center of the position, blasting A Shi to pieces.

"whee."

At the epicenter of the explosion, the shattered fungal carpet began to wriggle and slowly coalesced into a human shape. Soon, the strangely shaped Ashi reappeared, its face covered in even more festering sores and decay.

"I want to eat you up, let's be together, hee hee."

Vina exclaimed in surprise, "What is this? The ultimate dream of a Body-Body Sect Soul Master, as my great-grandfather said—rebirth from a drop of blood, immortality and indestructibility?"

Long Aotian's expression was solemn. It seemed that the opponent's sixth soul skill was to transform himself into this purplish-red fungal carpet, similar to a fire attribute or light attribute soul skill. In these two soul skill states, a soul master who was blown up could reassemble, which was probably based on the same principle.

"What are you laughing about?"

Huo Yuhao, whose entire body was covered in frost, gently patted the other person's head.

You like resurrections, right?

The next moment, Huo Yuhao's eyes turned gray. A Shi subconsciously tried to differentiate itself into a fungal carpet again, but it was too late.

A barely perceptible wisp of soul was suddenly pulled from the top of the other's head by Huo Yuhao's hand, and then disappeared. A Shi's body immediately collapsed to the ground, where it was devoured by the hungry fungal carpet.

Now A-Shi no longer has to worry about going hungry; he himself becomes nutrients for his own fungal carpet.

Three battles, three victories, all opponents were killed, leaving no trace of their bodies.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao, clad in dazzling ice armor, stood proudly in the center of the chilling arena, like an ice god descending to earth. His gray eyes held an indescribable aura of death as he looked down upon the Holy Spirit Sect's waiting area.

Zheng Zhan shivered from the lingering chill of the sudden burst of cold air, which also cleared his head considerably.

He glanced at Huo Yuhao, who had already closed his eyes to rest again, and swallowed hard.

"In the third match of the individual elimination tournament, Soul Palace faced off against Holy Spirit Sect, and Soul Palace emerged victorious."

In the rest area, Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng had already stood up, gritting his teeth as he looked at Huo Yuhao on the stage. His lips moved slightly as he gave some instructions to the remaining four people.

The tall man nodded slightly, leaped high, and went straight onto the competition platform.

However, to everyone's surprise, Huo Yuhao suddenly opened his eyes, and a strong fighting spirit rose up at that moment.

"Referee, the Soul Palace has forfeited the remaining four individual matches. Please proceed directly to the team battle phase."

"What!?"

Before he finished speaking, everyone slammed their fists on the table and stood up. The entire room erupted in cheers because of Huo Yuhao's words.

Not only was it not enough for him to fight seven people at once, he also had to fight four people at the same time.

It's important to understand that taking turns attacking one by one versus one person fighting four people simultaneously presents a completely different level of combat power.

The tactics that four evil soul masters can pull off together are far more powerful than those of a single individual.

Zhongli Wu had already crushed the other deputy's hand again, and a hoarse voice, filled with gritted teeth, came from within his black robe: "How dare you! You really have guts! You're incredibly audacious!"

On the competition stage, Zheng Zhan hurriedly transmitted his voice: "Kid, have you thought this through? You can still back out before I make a decision. You're still young, don't be impulsive."

This is practically a violation of the rules.

But Zheng Zhan didn't care.

His conscience told him that he should remind this outstanding young man not to act foolishly.

Huo Yuhao's divine sense transmitted to Zheng Zhan's mind: "Senior Bupo, thank you for your reminder. I am confident."

Seeing that he was determined to do so, Zheng Zhan could only nod and walk over to the Holy Spirit Sect's side, asking them a few questions in the waiting area.
