Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 735 Demon Armor (10,000 words per day)

As the head referee of the match, he shouldn't have needed to do this, but he really wanted to get a closer look at Huo Yuhao's soul tool.

That's why he personally stood on the competition stage as a referee.

The Soul Master from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce crafted a strange-looking long-handled battle sword, somewhat similar to a broadsword, with a long handle, wide blade, and great weight.

The blade was only two feet long, but the handle was as thick as a normal person's forearm, making it exceptionally ugly and deformed.

However, Zhao Shouze, the Soul Master who created the sword and came from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, was very confident in himself and looked at Huo Yuhao with a strong sense of disdain.

What's the point of having a flashy but impractical suit of armor? These humanoid soul-guided devices probably need more than a dozen commands to coordinate and respond when they throw a punch. I can twist them open with a slight twist, and chop them a couple of times along the gaps to tear them to shreds.

Ye Yulin looked at Huo Yuhao and the representative of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, and said in a deep voice, "Both sides, announce your names and prepare for battle. I want to emphasize that the competition is a fight to the death, and it will continue until one side admits defeat or loses the ability to fight."

"If you feel you can't defeat your opponent, speak up early to avoid making a mistake."

"Hun Tiancan."

Huo Yuhao's voice was brief and powerful.

"Aodu Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Shouze."

"Begin." Ye Yulin suddenly rose into the air, announcing the start of the match.

This isn't some casual competition like the Continental Elite Youth Soul Master Tournament; it's a true life-or-death struggle. This is an underground competition, where there aren't as many rules and protective measures.

Zhao Shouze lightly touched the ground with his toes and rushed towards Huo Yuhao. Six soul rings, three yellow and three purple, quickly rose on his body, revealing him to be a six-ring Soul Emperor.

With a swing of his broadsword, a dazzling golden-red flame ignited on the blade, its light soaring into the sky.

Huo Yuhao didn't move at all. The Oni Warrior Armor behind him took a step forward, and with a grab of his gauntlet, he grasped a large bow that was a head taller than Huo Yuhao.

Oni-Mu's Great Armor was drawn, and he symbolically attached his Oni-Mu Mask to the bow and arrow before aiming at Zhao Shouze and firing the arrow.

"Teng—"

A sound like air being violently shredded rang out. Soul power flowed through the Ghost Warrior Great Bow, and the tip of the arrow emitted a dazzling light, shooting towards Zhao Shouze's heart in the blink of an eye.

The Xishui Alliance was naturally overjoyed, while their rivals, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and the Pingfan Alliance, were both visibly shaken.

The precision of this humanoid soul tool was terrifyingly high, exceeding everyone's expectations.

Upon seeing such a fierce attack, Zhao Shouze's previously indomitable momentum immediately dissipated.

His pace was swift, and he quickly crossed the halfway point. With a swing of his broadsword, he slashed at the incoming arrow.

Instantly, the golden-red blade light drew a stunning rainbow, spanning over forty meters, and slashed down at the incoming arrow.

Its imposing presence seemed to cleave the entire competition stage in two.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, a burst of fire exploded in the center of the Soul Arena, sending Zhao Shouze flying backward.

"idiot!"

One of the senior executives of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce frowned and cursed.

Huo Yuhao wasn't on guard when he was making the soul tool. It doesn't matter if you can't understand the making of the humanoid soul tool, but you can't see the other party's actions of making the explosive arrow.

Seeing that Zhao Shouze was almost killed in one move, the people from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce had other ideas.

The competition rules clearly state that only one soul tool is allowed to be made in this competition, and Huo Yuhao has clearly exceeded the limit in the number of soul tools he made.

Aside from the humanoid soul tool, the large spear and bow carried by the opponent's humanoid soul tool should clearly be considered additional soul tools.

Before the people from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce could even resort to underhanded tactics—even if they couldn't eliminate Huo Yuhao outright, they could at least disable the Oni Warrior Great Armor—the parts of the Oni Warrior Great Armor began to make the sounds of gears and machinery turning.

The parts on the left gauntlet of the Oni Warrior Great Armor flipped and merged with the Oni Warrior Great Bow. Then, a massive amount of soul power flowed around the Oni Warrior Great Armor, eventually converging at the left arm and surging into the left gauntlet and the Great Bow.

"Puff puff puff puff—"

A series of rapid bursts of fire rang out as the Oni Warrior Great Bow, which was gripped tightly and had become one with the gauntlet, fired a string of energy arrows like a beaded string, blasting towards Zhao Shouze's position.

Zhao Shouze scrambled to dodge the attacks, but then he saw the Ghost Warrior Great Armor's left arm twitch, and the Ghost Warrior Great Bow instantly folded into his left arm, the fit was so tight that the Ghost Warrior Great Spear on his back went straight into the armor, and the spear tip emerged from the right gauntlet.

With a single step, the Oni Warrior Armor covered more than thirty meters in an instant, its arm already cocked, the Oni Warrior Spear resembling a giant crossbow aimed at Zhao Shouze.

These weapons are integrated with the Oni Warrior Great Armor, so where does the idea of ​​additional soul tools come from?

"Soul Heaven is broken, victory is assured."

Ye Yulin descended from the sky, her eyes gleaming with admiration as she looked at Huo Yuhao. He had succeeded; he had truly succeeded.

His skill in manipulating a humanoid soul tool was evident from his agility just now, demonstrating that his technology was already mature.

He was almost certain that this Ghost Warrior Armor could not only fight under Huo Yuhao's mental control, but also envelop Huo Yuhao in combat.

Even if it's just using mental power to remotely control the battle, the destructive power unleashed by the Ghost Warrior Armor is in no way inferior to that of an ordinary six-ring Soul Emperor, which is truly terrifying.

It's a pity we didn't get to see the scene of the opponent and the Great Armor combining their powers to fight, but I imagine they must have been able to control each other just like an extension of their own limbs.

We need to find a way to buy this soul tool from this little guy. Your Highness would be very happy to receive such a gift, wouldn't you?

Speaking of which, judging by the time, His Highness's plan should have already begun. To suffer a crushing defeat and flee in panic—how exhilarating that sounds!

Shrek Academy and the people of the three great empires must be wondering where to break out by now, right?

Just then, a barely perceptible tremor came from beneath Ye Yulin's feet.

"Um?"

Ye Yulin scratched his head in surprise. Was the battle above the Mingdu Imperial Palace so intense that the soil structure below Mingdu became unstable?

One hundred meters directly below Ye Yulin.

"Seniors, if you had acted any faster, we would have been stuck here."

Princess Vina, who had met up with Poisonous Immortal and the others through another secret passage, wore a wry smile as she looked at Poisonous Immortal, who had almost slapped them into mincemeat, and was both amused and exasperated.

Looking at the tunnel that he had almost caused to collapse due to his sudden change of direction, Poisonous Death awkwardly tamped the soil down a few times.

"Alright, alright, I was just being too nervous. Let's go, let those idiots who are still waiting for us to fall into their trap stand there dumbfounded."
