Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 75 Sword Maniac Ji Juechen

The two people on the field were a man and a woman, and they looked to be around twenty years old, making them veteran students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The female trainee was dressed in purple, and even her hair and eyes were purple.

She likes purple so much? Her name must have purple in it, Huo Yuhao thought.

The female student held two short swords, looking quite fierce.

The male trainee had an unhealthy pale complexion, but his face was very handsome. If it weren't for his aloof and cold demeanor, many girls would probably be willing to have dinner with him.

He was holding a long, thin object that vaguely resembled a sword, but Huo Yuhao wasn't sure.

The person who gave Huo Yuhao a sense of danger was this pale-faced male student.

Before the competition even started, the students watching from the sidelines were already discussing the two people in the arena.

"Look, Sword Maniac and Purple Smoke are about to spar again."

"These two are always sparring; they're really out of step with the style of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

"Who can argue with that? They don't research soul tools, they just love fighting. They should go to Shrek Academy."

"That's right, I've heard that Shrek Academy students fight at the drop of a hat, is that true?"

……

Listening to the discussions around him, Huo Yuhao gained a clearer understanding of the identities of the two people on the field.

They are two battle maniacs.

As a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, instead of focusing on developing soul tools, he spends all his time getting into fights.

This caused some dissatisfaction among the trainees who disliked fighting.

This style is indeed unpopular here.

Huo Yuhao found it somewhat amusing; these two were quite interesting.

As the trainees on the sidelines discussed the match, the contest between the two began.

The first to make a move was the female student on the field, Ziyan.

She released a large cloud of purple smoke around her, completely concealing her figure in the smoke and obscuring the view of the trainees on the sidelines.

"Tch~"

The trainees seemed to have gotten used to it and, as usual, let out a chorus of disdainful hisses.

Huo Yuhao chuckled softly as he listened to the boos from those around him.

This fighting style is not easy to appreciate, but it doesn't faze him.

Mental detection.

Huo Yuhao used his soul skill to observe the battle within the smoke.

During the mental probing, the male student wielding the "sword" remained motionless, his face still bearing that cold expression.

Purple smoke flashed by, and under the cover of the smoke, she quickly approached the male student.

In the smoke-filled darkness where nothing could be seen, the male student precisely raised his sword and blocked the double blades of the purple smoke.

Ziyan retreated hastily, but a sword aura followed her precisely.

Huo Yuhao could see clearly that the male student's sword strike was not fast, but very firm, as if no one in the world could stop it from falling.

As expected, female student Ziyan was defeated by this sword, and the smoke dissipated.

Ziyan readily admitted defeat and gave the male student a thumbs up, noting that his swordsmanship had improved again.

The students on the sidelines were clearly very dissatisfied with this boring match.

For them, the battle was simply a matter of smoke rising, falling, and then ending.

They couldn't see anything amiss, but Huo Yuhao was shocked by the male student's sword strike.

He could sense that the male student hadn't used any soul skills, yet the power of that sword strike was comparable to a ten-thousand-year soul skill.

Huo Yuhao didn't understand how he did it. He had never seen such power before, but he could tell that it didn't belong to anyone.

Huo Yuhao decided to ask that strange male student for advice.

After finishing their battle, the two walked out of the combat area of ​​the Soul Tool Trial Arena side by side, seemingly knowing each other.

"Juechen, you've improved again lately. Your sword strikes are becoming more and more imposing. I think I won't be able to block them for long."

The female student named Ziyan said to the male student next to her.

The male trainee's indifferent face showed no joy. "I can feel my progress is getting slower and slower."

Just as Ziyan was about to offer some words of comfort, someone blocked their way.

"Hello everyone, my name is Huo Yuhao."

The person blocking their way was Huo Yuhao, who greeted the two of them gently.

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

Ziyan and her companion found it strange. People in the academy were clearly avoiding them, yet now someone was actually taking the initiative to talk to them.

Before the two could speak, Huo Yuhao continued speaking to the male student:

"I heard from them that your name is Ji Juechen, and they even gave you a nickname, 'Sword Maniac'."

Ji Juechen was somewhat surprised; this kid had actually come to find him.

He was a well-known fighting maniac in the academy, and few people would actively seek him out, because such a person would definitely be challenged by him.

Aside from some girls who wanted to treat him to dinner.

What do you want?

Ji Juechen did not challenge Huo Yuhao in accordance with his usual style. Judging from his perception, Huo Yuhao's soul power was not even at the fourth ring, so he naturally did not want to challenge him.

"I just saw your sword strike from the stands. It didn't seem to be a soul skill, but it was definitely no weaker than one. I don't understand what kind of power that was, so I came here specifically to ask you about it."

Huo Yuhao spoke frankly. He could tell that this man didn't like beating around the bush, so he simply stated his purpose directly.

Ziyan, who was watching from the sidelines, was a little surprised. She had clearly released smoke during the battle, so how did this kid see them fighting?

Ji Juechen also became interested in Huo Yuhao's words. He raised his eyelids and carefully observed Huo Yuhao.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy rarely had students as obsessed with combat as him, and even fewer were willing to accept his challenge. Moreover, their battles consisted of exchanging various ranged soul tools and using soul shields for defense.

Ji Juechen disliked this fighting style characterized by Soul Masters. Although he always defeated them, his strength improved very slowly.

They couldn't understand Ji Juechen's love for swords, let alone study his fighting style.

And this kid was actually interested in his own fighting style.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's eager eyes, Ji Juechen ignored his strength and felt a surge of fighting spirit.

"You'll know once you fight me."

Ji Juechen stared intently at Huo Yuhao and said fervently.

Huo Yuhao was so surprised by this sudden challenge that he couldn't close his mouth. I was just asking a small question, how did it become like I was issuing a challenge?

"Ahem, well, Brother Ji Juechen, you might have misunderstood. I was just asking a simple question, not trying to start a fight. I've never seen your fighting style before, so I was just a little curious."

Huo Yuhao coughed twice, then explained awkwardly.

"I won't explain. You can learn from your battles with me. If not, I can't teach you."

Ji Juechen looked at Huo Yuhao and said seriously.

Although Huo Yuhao was still relatively weak, he could smell a different scent on Huo Yuhao than on ordinary soul masters in the academy; it was the aura of a powerful soul master.

So, I want to challenge him.
