Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao, the villain from a parallel world

Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth and unleashed his soul power, his whole body radiating dazzling golden light, and began to continuously collide with the inky black light.

Under his all-out attack, cracks actually appeared in the inky black light, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but smile, thinking that he was about to break free.

But Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, a dark light flashing in his eyes.

The next second, Xiao Hongchen's body of light patterns collapsed instantly.

Xiao Hongchen was shocked, not knowing what had happened, but before he could even feel surprised.

The surrounding air fluctuated violently, and streaks of jet-black chains began to emerge from the void, rushing towards him from all directions.

Those chains were not physical entities, but were formed from pure spiritual energy.

They surged in from all directions, tightly binding Xiao Hongchen's hands, feet, body, and neck.

The moment he was bound by the chains, Xiao Hongchen felt as if his body had completely lost control in an instant.

These chains not only bound his body, preventing him from making any movements, but also made it difficult for his soul power to circulate.

Unable to mobilize his soul power, Xiao Hongchen's four soul rings behind him became extremely dim.

At this moment, he was trapped in place like a golden statue.

Xiao Hongchen struggled desperately, trying to muster even the slightest bit of his soul power.

Xiao Hongchen is unable to move, while Huo Yuhao is calmly competing on the stage.

Without a doubt, the outcome of this match is already decided.

Meng Hongchen, standing on the sidelines, was so shocked by what she saw that she covered her mouth.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Meng Hongchen couldn't help but exclaim.

Watching his brother being manipulated by Huo Yuhao, unable to even mount a proper counterattack.

Besides surprise, she felt more joy and admiration.

In her eyes, Huo Yuhao was already perfect enough, and now there was another reason for her to admire him.

Xiao Hongchen stood frozen in place, his mind blank.

He, a dignified level 49 Soul Master and the reserve team captain who was only one step away from becoming a Soul King, was completely crushed in a head-on confrontation by a level 37 Soul Venerable.

He didn't even touch a corner of Huo Yuhao's clothes. He was led by the nose from beginning to end, and in the end, he didn't even understand how he was controlled.

Xiao Hongchen's pride made him try to struggle again, but to no avail.

"That's enough." Meng Hongchen's voice rang out from the sidelines, her tone tinged with reluctance and helplessness. "Xiao, you've already lost."

Upon hearing Meng Hongchen's voice, Xiao Hongchen completely gave up struggling, as if she had come to terms with reality.

He couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

She looked up at Huo Yuhao, who was standing not far away, and the resentment and struggle in her eyes slowly faded away.

Instead, there was a complete and utter surrender that had never appeared on his face before.

"I lost." Xiao Hongchen's voice was extremely solemn.

"I'll take care of getting you into the reserve team."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be surprised by his appearance.

He knew Xiao Hongchen's personality all too well from his past life.

That guy suffered repeated defeats, but he kept fighting and persevered for a long time without giving up.

Xiao Hongchen only gave up when his strength became so great that Xiao Hongchen could not even reach it.

But in this life, Xiao Hongchen was defeated so quickly.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but reflect for a moment: "Could it be that I put too much pressure on him in this life?"

Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed very possible.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary student when he started at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and he learned many things from scratch.

Moreover, for a period of time, his strength was inferior to Xiao Hongchen's.

This naturally gave Xiao Hongchen the illusion that he could surpass Huo Yuhao.

In this life, whether it's the theory of soul tools, the manufacturing techniques, or the practical combat ability, he far surpasses Xiao Hongchen.

It makes absolutely no sense.

Such a gap is indeed enough to make any genius feel powerless.

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. This time, he didn't mock Xiao Hongchen anymore, but turned and left without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Meng Hongchen hurriedly chased after him without even turning her head, leaving Xiao Hongchen alone in the center of the empty trial field.

He watched the two figures walk away side by side, a bitter smile still lingering on his lips, but he didn't feel resentful as usual.

This time, he was truly convinced.

......................................................

Night falls, at the back gate of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Ye Guyi and Nana arrived at this familiar place one after the other.

Nana walked ahead, her steps light and familiar, her eyes behind the mask still filled with expectation as she looked around, searching for Huo Yuhao's figure.

Ye Guyi followed half a step behind her, also wearing a black mask, but she looked more noble and slender than Nana.

Then she followed Nana, looking around and searching for the figure they had been waiting for.

Unfortunately, apart from the sound of the wind, there was no other noise.

Clearly, Huo Yuhao still hasn't returned today.

"It seems the master still hasn't returned." Nana withdrew her gaze and couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, I wonder what Master is doing. It shouldn't have taken this long to acquire a spirit ring, right?"

Ye Guyi, standing to the side, nodded in agreement. Even if it were to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a soul ring, two months would be more than enough time for a round trip.

If he hasn't returned yet, it can only mean that Huo Yuhao is probably doing something else.

Neither of them felt that Huo Yuhao was in danger.

Chapter 108 I'm Going to Call You Master

After Ye Guyi found Nana, the two often hunted evil spirit masters together in Mingdu.

It's definitely much better to act together than to go it alone, and she gradually began to like this kind of life.

Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao has not appeared during this period.

"Since the master hasn't returned yet."

Nana took a deep breath and said with a renewed spirit, "Then let's get started ourselves."

"There are still a few survivors in the stronghold we raided before. Let's go back there and take them all out."

"Okay." Ye Guyi readily agreed.

In recent days, they have worked together to deal with many evil spirit masters, and have already developed a good understanding and cooperation.

Therefore, there is no longer any burden regarding acting together.

Ye Guyi's Holy Angel Martial Soul is specifically designed to counter evil soul masters, while Nana's Ghost Martial Soul possesses strong stealth capabilities and can gather intelligence.

The two worked together, making them even more powerful in combat.

Just as they turned around to begin their operation, a figure suddenly appeared not far in front of them.

The figure standing in the moonlight was immediately noticed by Ye Guyi and Nana.

After seeing it clearly, Nana, who was familiar with Huo Yuhao, immediately showed a look of surprise and delight.

Although Huo Yuhao's figure was much taller than it was two months ago, Nana would never mistake his aura.

"Master!" Nana exclaimed excitedly.

"What are you two going to do?" Huo Yuhao, who had just appeared, asked the two of them.

His gaze lingered on Ye Guyi for a moment, without the slightest surprise.

Once Ye Guyi realizes that the ban cannot be lifted, he will definitely come here.

After confirming that it was Huo Yuhao, Nana could no longer contain her excitement. She rushed to Huo Yuhao and threw herself into his arms.

"Master! You're finally back! I've been waiting for you for so long. Did your journey to obtain the spirit ring go smoothly? Were you injured?..." Nana asked excitedly, her little mouth chattering away.

As she spoke, Nana looked at Huo Yuhao's face. Her eyes, which were usually very cold, were now misty with tears.

Ye Guyi, however, was not as decisive as her.

She stood there, her body stiff, staring blankly at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao then met her eyes for a moment, and Ye Guyi felt as if she had been electrocuted when their eyes met, and hurriedly looked away.

During the time she spent with Nana, she had imagined many scenarios for her meeting with Huo Yuhao, but when the moment actually came, she couldn't say anything.

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly to Nana, as if in response to her series of urgent greetings.

Ye Guyi stood there, seemingly wondering what good news was coming.

His gaze then passed over Nana and landed on Ye Guyi.

His gaze lingered for a moment on her slightly flushed cheeks and tightly pursed lips before he walked up to her and said, "It seems you've come to your senses."

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi's cheeks flushed bright red, but her secret had been exposed in public.

"No...that's right." Her voice stammered slightly.

Looking at Huo Yuhao so close to her, she gritted her teeth, steeled herself, and took another step forward, bringing the two of them incredibly close.

Ye Guyi could even hear Huo Yuhao's breathing.

Her mouth opened wide as if she wanted to speak, but her tongue seemed tied in knots, and after a long while she managed to squeeze out a single word: "Master...Master..."

The last word was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say it no matter what she did.
