Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 28 First Encounter with the Evil Soul Master

The Apocalypse student, who had exhausted all his strength to throw the blood spear, stood up again after the spear pierced through Meng Hongchen, seemingly having recovered much of his strength. However, his face now showed not only bloodlust but also a hint of terror.

Huo Yuhao's mental detection immediately sensed something was wrong the moment the Blood Spear student unleashed his power, but his movements were too fast. Huo Yuhao didn't have time to warn Meng Hongchen before she was pierced through by a spear.

Huo Yuhao sensed Meng Hongchen's life and power draining away, his heart clenching as fear overwhelmed his mind, as if he were about to lose something. His two maintained soul skills also lost their effect. Huo Yuhao's figure materialized on the field, stumbling towards Meng Hongchen, trying to pull out the spear. At the same time, his spiritual sea churned violently, awakening the slumbering Tianmeng, Bingdi, and Elder Yi.

Although their time together was relatively short, Huo Yuhao's performance after fusing with the Ice Emperor's soul bone and soul ring showed that he was a very strong person. The three of them were quite shocked by his dramatic emotional fluctuations.

Having been forged by the Life Gold, Huo Yuhao's mental domain was no longer so weak. Tianmeng and Elder Yi could no longer control his body without Huo Yuhao's permission. They could only gently call out to Huo Yuhao in their mental sea, attempting to restore his sanity.

However, while Huo Yuhao might panic over Meng Hongchen's passing, the referee wouldn't. Huang Jinxu, a Title Douluo, was utterly enraged that an evil soul master could injure someone during a match he was presiding over!

Huang Jinxu swiftly grabbed Meng Hongchen, pulled the spear from her body, and stopped her life from slipping away. Evil Soul Masters' attacks usually inflict some persistent, invisible damage that needs to be cleansed promptly, but that wasn't his responsibility. After confirming Meng Hongchen was still alive, his gaze turned to the Apocalypse student wielding the blood spear.

What he wants to do now is to kill the student who dared to use the abilities of an evil soul master in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament on the spot!

Seeing that the referee had rescued Meng Hongchen, Huo Yuhao's anxiety subsided considerably, and he quickly ran over to check on Meng Hongchen's injuries.

The three people in the Sea of ​​Spirit all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Huo Yuhao's emotions return to normal. The feeling of the raging storm within the Sea of ​​Spirit caused by Huo Yuhao's emotional fluctuations was not pleasant at all.

Huo Yuhao arrived at Meng Hongchen's side and gasped when he saw the horrific wound. Thankfully, the spear hadn't struck a vital spot, or Meng Hongchen would have been killed instantly. Recalling the blood spear's terrifying speed and bizarre locking ability, Huo Yuhao felt a chill run down his spine; if it were him, he certainly wouldn't have been able to dodge it either. However, it seemed the blood spear wasn't originally intended to kill instantly; if it killed the enemy instantly, it wouldn't be able to absorb the victim's life force and power.

Elder Yi's voice rang in Huo Yuhao's mind at just the right moment: "Yuhao, this little girl's injuries are extraordinary. I sense that some evil power remains in her wounds, which will cause them to continue to worsen. These powers must be purified before the little girl's injuries can slowly heal."

Upon hearing Elder Yi's words, Huo Yuhao hurriedly inquired how to purify the evil power. After Electrolux taught Huo Yuhao the purification magic, Huo Yuhao quickly eliminated the evil power remaining on Meng Hongchen's wound.

After Huo Yuhao treated Meng Hongchen's injuries, the team leaders and students from both academies arrived at the competition stage. At this moment, Huang Jinxu held the Blood Spear team member in mid-air, glaring at him as if he wanted to execute him immediately.

The student clutched his head in fear, repeatedly muttering, "I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to..."

With things escalating to this point, the competition naturally could not continue. The Apocalypse team, having displayed the abilities of an evil spirit master, would be disqualified, and the Sun and Moon team would automatically win.

Of course, if the evil spirit master hadn't appeared, the competition would have continued and the outcome wouldn't have changed.

After the Sun and Moon Team members arrived on the stage, they rushed to Meng Hongchen's side, anxiously checking her injuries. Finding that she was not in mortal danger, Team Leader Ma secretly breathed a sigh of relief; this was the granddaughter of Hall Master Jing Hongchen. He couldn't bear the responsibility if anything happened to her.

Xiao Hongchen was equally concerned about his sister's injuries. Seeing the horrific wounds on her body, anger overwhelmed his reason. He wanted nothing more than to tear the person who injured his sister to pieces. However, that person was currently in the hands of a Title Douluo referee, and there was nothing he could do. He could only glare angrily at Tianqi Academy, demanding an explanation from them.

The students from Apocalypse displayed their evil spirit master abilities in full view of everyone, much to the team leader's dismay. These were his top students, who had never shown any signs of being evil spirit masters before. How could they suddenly transform into evil spirit masters during the competition?

He cast a puzzled look at his students, and the Blood Spear students seemed to sense their teacher's gaze, raising their heads to look at him.

"Teacher, I don't know why it turned out this way. I just wanted to win, I really, really wanted to win. You told us that if we could advance to the next round, our academy would achieve its best result since the school was founded, especially after Senior Shen Huaiming and his team won the second round. If we could win, we could advance to the next round. When we were about to lose, I just wanted to use my last bit of strength. I never expected it to turn out like this, I really never expected it to turn out like this. Teacher, please save me, please save me..."

The Blood Spear student wept bitterly, his voice filled with intense sorrow. As a Soul Master, he had some understanding of evil Soul Masters and knew that the world would never tolerate any evil Soul Master. He had never imagined that he himself was an evil Soul Master.

Everyone present fell silent after hearing his words. All the participating teams had come here to achieve a good result, and they were largely the same kind of people as this Blood Spear team member. However, it was a great pity that he was an evil soul master, and his awakening had disqualified his academy from the competition.

His teacher, of course, couldn't save him. Perhaps this was just the cruel twist of fate. A tragic figure, both admirable and hateful, his destiny had come to an end.

The round-robin tournament has concluded, and Team Sun and Moon advanced to the top 16 with a perfect record. However, Meng Hongchen suffered a serious injury and will be sidelined for the time being. Fortunately, his recovery is progressing well, and if all goes smoothly, he might even be able to play in the finals.

After taking care of Meng Hongchen, Huo Yuhao returned to his room to rest. The evil soul master he had encountered in the competition today had greatly shocked him; he had never imagined that the abilities of an evil soul master could be so bizarre.

The thought that even though Meng Hongchen was wearing a level six soul-guided armor, he was still pierced through by a single spear from a Soul Master was terrifying!

Neither Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nor Ice Emperor had any good solutions for dealing with the evil spirit masters; they could only rely on their own inherent characteristics to fight them head-on. Neither Tianmeng's spiritual power nor Ice Emperor's ultimate ice power could be outmatched by the evil spirit masters' bizarre power.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

But Electrolux gave Huo Yuhao a different answer.
