Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 91 An Unexpected Joy

Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianzhen stood together behind Ji Juechen.

Xu Tianzhen was harassing the Holy Sun Wyvern with a remote soul tool, while Huo Yuhao was preparing to release the Ice Emperor's Body Protection soul skill brought by the Ice Emperor's torso bone.

Ice Emperor's Protection is the most powerful of the four soul skills that the Ice Emperor bestowed upon Huo Yuhao.

When Huo Yuhao was at the second ring, he used the extreme ice power contained in this move to block the full-force attack of Soul Emperor Ma Xiaotao.

Although it was because Ma Xiaotao stopped exerting herself halfway through, her power was still evident.

A jade-green crystal scorpion slowly took shape on Huo Yuhao's chest. Huo Yuhao could barely unleash a fraction of its power with his level 40 soul power.

The azure scorpion attacked the Holy Sun Wyvern at incredible speed. Although the Holy Sun Wyvern was furious, it quickly sensed that something was wrong.

A powerful, destructive energy surged from in front of it. It tried to dodge, but its forward momentum was too great, and it was too late to turn around. It was struck head-on by the Ice Emperor's Wrath.

The extreme ice erupted, and the cold air instantly engulfed the Holy Sun Wyvern. The dense cold mist even blocked out the sun.

The Holy Sun Pterosaur has always lived in relatively hot areas and has hardly ever experienced cold, so it was not used to being frozen. Even though its injuries were not that serious, it was unable to break free from the icy confinement for a while.

After releasing this soul skill, Huo Yuhao took a few quick breaths, as the Ice Emperor Protection skill had been greatly depleted.

Moreover, he added enough soul power to it to detonate the Ice Explosion spell.

However, even if he detonated it with his current strength, he would still find it difficult to kill the thick-skinned Holy Sun Wyvern.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao chose to seal it for a while longer to buy time for Ji Juechen, and then detonate the ice when the Holy Sun Winged Dragon was about to break free.

The Holy Sun Wyvern not only possesses the extremely strong physique of a dragon-type soul beast, but also has extremely powerful fire magic abilities, so even Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice magic, which was insufficient in cultivation, could not trap it for long.

Once it has adapted to the low temperature of the ice, it secretly gathers strength in preparation for breaking through in one fell swoop.

Huo Yuhao kept a close eye on the movements of the Holy Sun Wyvern from outside using his mental detection. He discovered that it was showing signs of a breakthrough and instantly detonated the ice.

With a roar, the Holy Sun Wyvern unleashed an ice blast that left it a bloody mess, clearly seriously injured, but it still retained most of its fighting strength.

The stimulation of blood weakened the Holy Sun Wyvern's rationality, causing it to continue its reckless charge, even ignoring Ji Juechen, who had already accumulated immense power.

In this situation, unless Huo Yuhao can completely shatter the Holy Sun Wyvern's spiritual sea, ordinary soul impacts will no longer be able to affect it.

Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianzhen were temporarily out of options, but they remained calm because they trusted Ji Juechen, whose Sword Mania had reached its peak.

Two sword beams slashed down, and the Holy Sun Wyvern's body was instantly split into three pieces.

Its two wings were easily severed by Ji Juechen, which was its second weak point besides its head.

The immense pain and physical mutilation rendered the Holy Sun Pterosaur almost immobile; it lay there, roaring towards the sky.

However, without its wings, it can no longer gather the sun's power.

Worried that the Holy Sun Wyvern might still have some resistance, Huo Yuhao gave it another Soul Impact.

This time, it completely fainted.

After the battle, Xu Tianzhen was naturally the happiest person.

She carried a long sword and ended the life of the Holy Sun Wyvern with a single strike.

A black spirit ring rose from its corpse.

Xu Tianzhen looked at Huo Yuhao.

"Let's begin."

Huo Yuhao gestured for Xu Tianzhen to absorb the soul ring.

Although they had expended a lot of energy, both he and Ji Juechen still had some left.

After these days of training, Ji Juechen's Sword Maniac Domain will no longer be as powerful as before, capable of only one strike.

Now, he can freely control the length of the charging time, so he didn't use his full strength in those two sword strikes.

After receiving Huo Yuhao's signal, Xu Tianzhen began to absorb her fifth spirit ring.

What she most desires is the Soul Skill of the Holy Sun Wyvern, which allows it to gather sunlight for its own use.

As Xu Tianzhen entered a meditative state to absorb the soul ring, Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen stood guard beside her to protect her.

"Old Ji, what kind of spirit ring do you want?"

Huo Yuhao suddenly asked Ji Juechen this question.

Now that they have completed their first objective, only he and Ji Juechen remain to hunt down the soul beasts.

Ji Juechen had almost never used soul skills, so Huo Yuhao was unsure what kind of soul beast he needed.

"I used to be easy, but now I want a soul beast that can balance both soul power and mental power."

Since that deep meditation, Ji Juechen has figured out his own path.

His sword intent, soul power, and spiritual power are integrated into a three-dimensional fusion, requiring a balanced improvement in each aspect of his abilities.

Any weakness in any area will limit the upper limit of his three-dimensional integration.

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

"A soul beast that balances and enhances both soul power and spiritual power."

Huo Yuhao read out Ji Juechen's request and rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

These kinds of spirit beasts are so hard to find!

Many spirit beasts have their own strengths, so when you obtain their spirit rings, you will generally receive a significant boost in either spirit power or mental power.

It is extremely rare to find a soul beast that can improve both aspects in a balanced way, as Ji Juechen requested.

"It's okay, even if it's hard to find, it will eventually come to you."

Huo Yuhao silently cheered for Ji Juechen in his heart, and at the same time, he cheered himself up.

Ji Juechen finally found his own path, so how could Huo Yuhao, as his good friend, discourage him? No matter how difficult it was to find, Huo Yuhao was determined to help him find it!

After a long while, Xu Tianzhen slowly opened her eyes under the protection of Huo Yuhao and the other man.

As Xu Tianzhen opened his eyes, a sharp light shot out from them—a wisp of energy emanating from his soul ring.

Since it was Xu Tianzhen's first time absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring, it took her a long time, and she woke up in the evening.

"How are you feeling?"

It was naturally Huo Yuhao who greeted them; Ji Juechen would never take the initiative to say hello.

"My soul power has increased by three levels, and it's not far from level 54. I reached the level 50 bottleneck relatively early, so the accumulation during this period has been somewhat useful."

Xu Tianzhen said with a smug look on his face.

"Moreover, the spirit ring of the Holy Sun Wyvern is not the most precious this time."

Suddenly, she said mysteriously.

"Could it be?"

Huo Yuhao was startled. Could it be a soul bone?

"Hehe, we'll find out once we open it up."

As he spoke, Xu Tianzhen couldn't wait to dissect the corpse of the Holy Sun Pterosaur.

When she absorbed the soul ring, she sensed that the corpse of the Holy Sun Wyvern contained another kind of energy. Although she had no similar experience, she could guess that it should be a soul bone.

Before long, Xu Tianzhen found a crystal-clear object at the broken part of the Holy Sun Winged Dragon's wing. It was a soul bone, but it didn't resemble any of the six great soul bones.
