Chapter 1280 - 1283: Primordial Spirit Advancement?

Watching more and more students one after another betray and run to Soul Refining's side, Ghost wanted to persuade them further, but was stopped by a glance from Yun Hao.

The entire process lasted for about a minute, and when everything came to a halt, behind Yun Hao and Ghost, there were only thirteen students left who chose to continue following them.

Among these thirteen students, nine were women, all of whom had experiences similar to Ghost, including some stunningly beautiful women with outstanding figures.

Only four were men, all of whom were students Yun Hao had personally trained.

"Instructor S, our lives were saved by you. Even if it means death today, we'll fight with you until the very last second!"

All four were from Huaxia. When they first arrived at the training camp headquarters, because of their Asian faces, they often faced discrimination. Once, they were almost beaten to death by some stronger students, but Yun Hao happened to see it and saved them, taking them under his wing.

When Yun Hao, along with Liu Mengqi and Annie, escaped from the organization, the four of them indeed worried for their safety. After Yun Hao and the others left, the four worked hard and finally made a name for themselves in the training camp, becoming honored instructors.

"I'll take you back home!" Yun Hao looked at the four with satisfaction and whispered.

Although Yun Hao's words were light, everyone who knew him deeply understood that these short seven words meant a promise to Yun Hao.

Because Yun Hao rarely spoke such words...

"Yun Hao, you really have confidence, huh? Bringing them home? Heh, on what grounds?" Soul Refining looked at Yun Hao with disdain, dismissing his words.

Home!

This word had become too foreign to Soul Refining, almost disappearing from his vocabulary.

"Just because I'm Yun Hao!"

In response to Soul Refining's question, Yun Hao snorted coldly, standing straight, a faint aura of dominance slowly emanating from him.

Although Yun Hao didn't use his signature move "Command the World," at this moment, he felt like an emperor standing on the city wall, overlooking the world.

So domineering...

So arrogant...

Hearing Yun Hao's words, everyone couldn't help but silently repeat to themselves. The simple six words were enough to express Yun Hao's determination.

Such arrogant words, not many have the courage to say, especially when facing a peerless master like Soul Refining.

The four students who chose to fight to the end with Yun Hao were even more excited at these words, ready to fight alongside the instructor who once saved their lives. If victorious, they could return home to see if the rice fields were as lush as when they left.

Even if they died in battle, there would be no regret, as they fought for their beliefs and the freedom they longed for.

"We also want to live with true dignity for once, to die without regrets!" The nine women, who chose to stay, who had been ruined by Soul Refining, spoke with determination as they listened to Yun Hao's powerful words, their expressions firm.

Death wasn't frightening to them. Living every day under the claws of Soul Refining, being humiliated without dignity, unable to see any hope for a lifetime, was the scariest of all.

In an instant, the students standing behind Yun Hao seemed to connect with the domineering aura emanating from him.

"Good, very good, Yun Hao. In that case, let's battle. Let me see how strong my most prideful disciple truly is?" Soul Refining shouted dominantly, feeling the imposing presence of Yun Hao and those standing behind him.

Yun Hao looked calmly at Soul Refining opposite him, waving to Ghost and others behind him, indicating for them to retreat.

"Soul Refining, make your move!"

As Yun Hao's words fell, everyone around couldn't help but take a few steps back, giving Yun Hao and Soul Refining ample space.

"I am Soul Refining, Ninth Grade Mid-Stage!"

Soul Refining looked proudly at Yun Hao and said slowly.

"Yun Hao, Early Stage of Ninth Grade!"

Yun Hao replied equally calmly.

Life-and-death duel...

For all cultivators, reporting names and grades before a fight meant engaging in a life-and-death duel, not an ordinary life-and-death fight but a kind of gentleman's agreement.

This time, after Yun Hao and Soul Refining started fighting, only until one of them died would the fight stop, without external interference, no matter the battle or outcome. This duel belonged solely to Yun Hao and Soul Refining.

Even though Soul Refining was a realm higher than Yun Hao, he didn't dare be arrogant. With a wave of his hands, he directly summoned his Primordial Spirit, a purple one, about a foot high.

In an instant, everyone felt as if they were in a sea of purple, every sight filled with purple light, even the flora turned purple.

"I know you have a Golden Primordial Spirit, one level higher than my Purple Primordial Spirit, but you see, my Primordial Spirit has advanced to the second stage, so it's still uncertain who will win in this Primordial Spirit battle!"

Soul Refining stood under the Purple Primordial Spirit, looking at Yun Hao with domineering authority, speaking loudly.

"Heh, it's quite the coincidence. My Golden Primordial Spirit just happened to break through to the second stage before coming here!" Yun Hao gave a faint smile.

As his words fell, a dazzling golden light emanated from the location of Yun Hao's Dantian, instantly covering the entire glacial land and overshadowing the purple light emitted by Soul Refining's Purple Primordial Spirit.

In a moment, everyone couldn't help but close their eyes, not daring to look directly at the scene before them because the golden light was too glaring to gaze upon directly.

Fortunately, the golden light was fleeting; it dissipated shortly after.

Everyone slowly opened their eyes, feeling much better at seeing everything around returning to normal.

Just...

Suddenly, everyone noticed a serious problem: how did everything return to its normal color?

Wasn't it supposed to be purple?

Yes, wasn't it previously covered by Soul Refining's purple light?

Does it mean that when Yun Hao's Golden Primordial Spirit's light receded, so did the purple light?

Everyone turned their heads to look at Soul Refining, only to see that the Purple Primordial Spirit that once hovered above his head had disappeared.

It seemed Soul Refining also retracted the Purple Primordial Spirit, possibly feeling it was too much to overpower Yun Hao.
