Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 76 Both Enlightenment

"Learn from the battles you fought against me."

After hearing Ji Juechen's words, Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment.

Ji Juechen is indeed not a good communicator, and he himself probably has a hard time explaining how to make others learn that power.

Learning from battle is indeed a good idea.

"Alright, but I've used up too much of my soul power making soul tools today. And your soul power is far greater than mine, so I'm afraid I'm not able to fight you today. Let's agree to fight again tomorrow."

A surge of pride welled up in Huo Yuhao's heart. Being able to fight against a powerhouse like Ji Juechen was a great gain.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Ji Juechen spoke concisely and left without saying anything more.

Huo Yuhao watched Ji Juechen and Ziyan's departing figures with a sense of emotion.

I never expected that a pure soul master academy like the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy would have such an extraordinary person.

On the other side, Ziyan was communicating with Ji Juechen.

"Juechen, are you really going to fight that kid? He only looks like he's at the third ring, while you're already a fifth-ring Soul King. Don't you always prefer to fight opponents stronger than yourself?"

"He's different. Even though he only has a third-tier city, he's not simple."

Ji Juechen remained mostly silent.

"Huo Yuhao, I think I've heard of this kid before. He's the dean's darling. You'd better hold back in tomorrow's competition."

Ziyan muttered to herself, clearly showing that, unlike Ji Juechen, she had some understanding of the academy.

This time, Ji Juechen did not reply. He never showed mercy when fighting others.

No matter who it is, his sword will only strike with all its might.

Discouragement will only cause the sword to lose its power.

"He's not that simple."

In the end, Ji Juechen could only manage to utter this one sentence.

Seeing Ji Juechen's expression, Ziyan didn't say anything more.

Actually, she also felt that Huo Yuhao was not that simple. Even if he couldn't beat Ji Juechen, at least he wouldn't be in any danger.

Huo Yuhao returned to his dormitory at the academy, sat cross-legged on his bed, and began to meditate to recover his soul power.

He was so envious of Ji Juechen's sword technique that he couldn't bear to leave without taking the opportunity to learn it.

A lonely night.

Huo Yuhao has recovered his soul power. Having created a level four soul tool that boosted his soul power by one level, he is now full of energy and ready to face Ji Juechen in the competition.

A level 33 Soul Master challenging a Soul King seems to have little chance of winning.

However, Huo Yuhao was filled with fighting spirit. This battle was not about winning, but about learning from Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao arrived at the Soul Tool Trial Grounds again. Since it was early morning, there were not many people there.

Only Ji Juechen and Ziyan were present. Ji Juechen was alone in the arena, while Ziyan sat in the stands, ready to watch the game.

Ziyan was probably the only spectator in this battle.

Huo Yuhao first waved to Ziyan, then walked straight onto the field.

"They're here."

Ji Juechen spoke first, still unwilling to say more.

"Um."

Huo Yuhao also gave a brief reply.

After receiving Huo Yuhao's reply, Ji Juechen slowly took out the sword embryo that Huo Yuhao had seen yesterday from his storage soul tool.

Ji Juechen's demeanor suddenly changed as he held the sword embryo, and a sharp, aggressive aura swept over him.

Sensing something, Huo Yuhao composed himself and took out the longsword he had just made yesterday, a level four soul tool.

Level 4 soul tools are already quite expensive on the market, but they are still inferior to Ji Juechen's sword embryo.

Huo Yuhao did not activate his mental detection at this moment. He had already seen yesterday that Ji Juechen's attacks were simple and did not require the use of mental detection.

Seeing Huo Yuhao draw his longsword, Ji Juechen began to gather his strength.

Ji Juechen held his sword horizontally in front of him, his soul power surging wildly into the sword embryo.

As Ji Juechen's movements slowly unfolded, Huo Yuhao was taken aback.

Ji Juechen seemed to have vanished from his sight; he could barely sense his presence.

In his eyes, there was only a sword in front of him.

As he channeled his soul power, Ji Juechen seemed to send himself into the sword as well.

Ji Juechen's strange changes put Huo Yuhao on high alert.

He gripped the level-four longsword in his hand even tighter, unleashing his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul.

The phantom of the Ice Emperor appeared behind Huo Yuhao, relieving him of most of the pressure from Ji Juechen.

Huo Yuhao breathed a slight sigh of relief upon sensing the power of the Ice Emperor, and frantically channeled his soul power, containing the ultimate ice, into the longsword in his hand.

However, he was merely outputting soul power; he and the sword were not one.

Ji Juechen made a move.

He seemed to have his entire being attached to the sword, slowly raising his arm so that the sword blade was higher than his head.

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

Then slowly slash down.

This is the sword he used to defeat Ziyan yesterday.

Seeing the power of this sword strike, Ziyan on the stage was filled with mixed emotions.

They said they wouldn't hold back, but this sword strike is far more powerful than yesterday's.

Huo Yuhao didn't have time to think about that.

He felt a giant sword slashing down, filling his entire field of vision, and he could only raise his sword to block it.

This sword strike must have carried a mental attack; otherwise, it would never have generated such an irresistible emotion in him.

Despite the immense pressure, Huo Yuhao's eyes shone even brighter, as if he had grasped something.

But he needed to get closer to that sword strike to feel it.

The greatsword slashed down, and the level four longsword, filled with extreme ice, held out for a short while before being severed.

Huo Yuhao laughed heartily, unleashing the Ice Emperor's Protection and the Ice Emperor's Claw to block the giant sword's still-powerful attack.

The greatsword's attack was largely neutralized by the level four longsword, and the Ice Emperor's Body Protection and Ice Emperor's Claw provided astonishing defense.

Huo Yuhao blocked the attack without sustaining any serious injury, though he was slightly disheveled.

"Again!"

Huo Yuhao, having lost his weapon, shouted.

Just a little bit more, just a little bit more and I'll be able to grasp that feeling. I can learn Ji Juechen's strange offensive techniques too!

Ji Juechen did not relax his fighting spirit just because Huo Yuhao lost his weapon; he was preparing an even more powerful attack.

Ji Juechen's figure flickered again, and the sword embryo in his hand was magnified again in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

When Huo Yuhao was struck by the giant sword, he discovered that the power contained within the sword's embryo was extremely strange.

The intertwining of soul power and spiritual power caused the giant sword not only to damage his body but also to erode his will to resist.

Huo Yuhao was excited about this.

If I could learn this move, the power of my vast spiritual energy combined with the soul power of extreme ice would definitely be greater than that of Ji Juechen!

Huo Yuhao stared intently at his fist. He had no weapon; this was all he had!

Soul power condensed in his hand, and the powerful extreme ice turned his fist emerald green.

"Not enough!"

Huo Yuhao roared in his heart, "Soul power alone is not enough!"

Huo Yuhao frantically channeled his mental energy into his fist.

He wanted to go head-to-head with Ji Juechen!

It was impossible to wait until he reached his peak; Ji Juechen's next attack would arrive very soon.

Huo Yuhao had no choice but to clench his fist and fight head-on with Ji Juechen!

The two sides clashed, but neither was injured.

"His abilities are not simply a fusion of soul power and spiritual power!"

The last thought that popped into Huo Yuhao's mind.

Both of them stopped moving from where the other had started.
