Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

"The Fifth School District...?"

Ning Tian murmured, having already made his decision.

Chapter 63 Evenly Matched, Seal Loosening

After seeing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, there were no more martial souls that Huo Yuhao was interested in during the subsequent assessments. Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao also didn't cause any more problems, so the battle was quickly resolved.

Huo Yuhao was initially quite interested in the martial soul of the Time-Fleeting Clock, but after actually seeing it, he found it to be nothing special.

"I knew it. It was too naive to think that we could study 'time' so easily," Huo Yuhao said disappointedly.

"Why do you say that?"

The Ice Emperor in the Sea of ​​Spirit asked, "After fusing with Huo Yuhao's deep blue soul ring, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm has been in a state of enlightenment, seemingly making a major breakthrough, and Ilex is also assisting him."

She was very bored because no one was talking to her.

"The so-called Time-Fleeting Clock, or those time-attribute martial souls that claim to be able to 'control time,' are just fraudulent martial souls."

They are using other abilities to create the illusion of "time being controlled," thus impersonating time itself.

Huo Yuhao explained disappointedly, "For example, pushing a box over and then pushing it back to its original position. That's what those martial souls call 'time reversal,' but it's actually just controlling the object. Time still flows as usual; time isn't a real thing at all."

"Does time not exist?" Hyotei asked in confusion. "I've heard rumors before that if we cultivate our ice attribute to the highest level, we can even freeze time."

"This has nothing to do with time. That freezing only freezes everything, stopping everything from functioning, creating the illusion that 'time' has stopped. But time still continues, from now to the next second, from now to later. It can't stop 'before'." Huo Yuhao directly refuted the idea about time. "Time is just a feeling."

"If I can 'push' everything back like pushing a box, can I also 'reverse time'?" Huo Yuhao asked rhetorically.

"This..." Hyotei fell silent; she didn't really understand anything other than ice.

"Haha, alright, let's stop talking about time. We'll be busy after we take care of Huo Qiu'er's team," Huo Yuhao laughed. He had heard that Elder Mu had returned, and he had some ideas to put into practice.

………………

"Both parties share the same name."

"Huo Yuhao".

"Wang Dong."

"Xiao Xiao".

On Huo Qiu'er's side, apart from Huo Qiu'er herself, who remained expressionless and taciturn, the other two looked dejected.

It seems that fighting against Huo Yuhao's team is a difficult task.

"Huo Qiu'er".

"Zhu Lu".

"Cui Yajie".

"Qiu'er, could you talk to your brother and ask him to go easy on them?" Cui Yajie whispered. "I heard that their team's opponents never had a good ending..."

"They must have been treated terribly," Zhu Lu said honestly, feeling a chill run down her spine at the thought of being treated in various ways.

Although they pushed all the way to the finals thanks to Huo Qiu'er's strength, they were still intimidated by Huo Yuhao's infamous and notorious team.

"..."

Huo Qiu'er didn't know what to say, so she decided to remain silent.

"The assessment begins."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Dong rushed out first, just like always.

"I'll make up for the image I lost with a dashing battle!" Wang Dong roared inwardly, and directly challenged the strongest, Huo Qiu'er.

She had already asked Huo Yuhao whether she should stop fighting his sister, and he simply said, "It's up to you. You might not be able to beat her."

"Ha, how could I possibly lose? Come on, let's fight!!!" Wang Dong spread his butterfly wings and clashed head-on with the Golden Dragon Fist, sparks flying everywhere.

…………

"I'll fight you then." Xiao Xiao greeted Zhu Lu politely.

"Okay...okay...please have mercy." Zhu Lu's cat ears stood up in fright, but she still assumed a fighting stance.

I heard that Xiao Xiao is the most violent fighter, but she seems quite gentle now...

"Meow!" Zhu Lu's cat eyes widened, and all the fur on her body stood up.

A giant cauldron crashed down in front of her, narrowly missing her nose. The arena immediately cracked open, but luckily she dodged quickly.

"Tsk."

Xiao Xiao let out a click of her tongue, a sound that was completely unlike what a petite young girl should make.

………………

"No way! Why is he my opponent?!" Cui Yajie cried out, clutching her head and looking up at the sky. "There's definitely something wrong with this tactical arrangement!!"

Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes. He wasn't an evil soul master, so why was he so afraid? That was very rude.

"Please, Qiu'er's brother, no... don't stop me from touching you..." Cui Yajie's two fox tails swayed, unleashing her full pink allure.

result……

Of course, it has no effect whatsoever.

"A nine-tailed fox, huh? Her charm is indeed very high. She's not bad as a candidate for a school idol." Huo Yuhao thought to himself as he exchanged a few blows with her before leaving the arena.

On the other side, Xiao Xiao's battle also ended quickly. Without her Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Zhu Lu's strength was far inferior to Xiao Xiao's.

On stage, only Wang Dong and Huo Qiu'er remained locked in a stalemate.

"Hahaha, I am very strong." Wang Dong laughed wildly, bombarding Huo Qiu'er with a dense barrage of light bullets.

The golden dragon's body was incredibly tough, and it had been enhanced by Huo Yuhao's bloodline, allowing it to withstand the light projectiles that attacked Wang Dong.

A punch with extreme force landed on Wang Dong.

Unfortunately, the punch landed on empty air.

"Fake?" Huo Qiu'er frowned, and her dragon claw pierced through, turning Wang Dong into light and shadow and disappearing.

At the same time, four more figures of Wang Dong appeared behind him.

"Guess which one is true? There's no reward for guessing right, but there's a punishment for guessing wrong, hehehe." Wang Dong let out a tasteless laugh.

Huo Qiu'er closed her eyes. For soul beasts, the sense of smell is no less than that of sight, and she is very good at finding prey by smell.

"here."

She punched the empty space behind her again.

"Ah, I've been discovered." Wang Dong faced the punch head-on, using the butterfly wings to cushion and deflect the force.

"His strength is really not bad, it's a pity his face is the same as that annoying guy's, although he's quite good-looking..." Wang Dong muttered, shaking his numb hand.

Huo Qiu'er resumed her fighting stance, having learned many close-quarters combat techniques from Huo Yuhao's memory fragments.

A surge of powerful energy was channeled into the Golden Dragon Fist, causing the space around the fist to appear somewhat distorted.

"Hmph, so you're going to use your ultimate move? Then let's decide the winner in one move," Wang Dong said, also wanting to try out her new technique.

The Goddess of Light butterfly flew in the air, and Wang Dong struck a strange pose resembling a pitching ball, his terrifying light-attribute soul power concentrated in his joined palms.

"The final flash!"

Wang Dong instantly shone with light like the sun, and she hurled a beam cannon from above with all her might.

"Ten consecutive... Nail Fist!"

Huo Qiu'er unleashed a punch that soared into the sky, a single punch containing ten stages of accumulated power, like ocean waves, each stage stronger than the last, layer upon layer, continuous and unending.

The two extremely powerful moves clashed violently, creating a terrifying momentum, yet they still appeared to be evenly matched.

…………

"What... what kind of move is this?" Yan Shaozhe, who was watching the match, was full of questions.

"I don't know." Qian Duoduo had the same expression.

Having served as dean and vice dean for so many years, this is the first time I've ever seen such a scene.

Then the two of them turned around to look at Elder Xuan at the same time, and he also looked like he was about to drop his chicken leg.

"No need to think, it must all be related to him." Elder Xuan pointed to Huo Yuhao on the stage.

Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo nodded; they both knew Huo Yuhao's identity.

…………

Wang Dong and Huo Qiu'er were still at a lower level, and after a while, they were both exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

Huo Yuhao's team won the final victory.

"They've completely changed the art style now," Huo Yuhao complained.

Back in the dormitory,

"Yuhao, how...how was my fight?"

His voice was weak. Wang Dong had just regained some strength and asked as soon as he lay down on the bed.

"Very good," Huo Yuhao commented.

"Hehe, first bombard with continuous light bullets, then unleash the final flash. What should we name this kind of operation?"

"How about we call it the Prince's Battle Strategy?" Huo Yuhao suggested.

"Am I a prince?"

"But your surname is Wang."

"How could this be!"

Wang Dong shouted, then immediately slumped down.

"Yuhao, why can't I move my body? It seems like my soul power can't be restored," she said weakly.

"Unable to be restored?" Huo Yuhao frowned and directly probed with his mental energy.

"Your body is intact, there's no problem, wait!" Huo Yuhao's expression immediately turned serious.
