Chapter 207.2: Wagered Fight
“What, what strength is this?” The Scorpion Tiger Douluo was completely horrified. He felt that the strength that made him terrified wasn’t very strong and couldn’t cause any harm. However, the element that it contained was very scary. It caused his beast soul to be engulfed in fear instantly.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “This is the strength of light. Light is used to remove darkness.”
Zhang Peng shouted, “Rubbish. What do you know about the strength of light? Even if it’s light, it can’t make my beast soul terrified.” He didn’t mention that he was extremely fearful.
Huo Yuhao didn’t explain anything. Facts spoke louder than words. Without a doubt,, he won the bet he made with the Dragon Emperor Douluo.
As he made a step out, Long Xiaoyao had arrived in front of Huo Yuhao. This time, he was more focused as he looked at him.
“It isn’t just the strength of light. It seems to be a special force that can frighten spirits. I’ve lost. I’ll uphold the agreement and spare the three of you. However, can you tell me what the force you just used is called? Even Mu En doesn’t seem to possess it.”
Huo Yuhao couldn’t possibly lie in front of the Dragon Emperor Douluo and said subconsciously, “It’s a purification force.”
Yes, it was a purification force – the jinx of all spirits. No matter what spirit, it would be fearful and dissipate in the face of a purification force once it lost its original body.
With Huo Yuhao’s cultivation, he couldn’t threaten the Scorpion Tiger Douluo and other Transcendent Douluo even if he unleashed the purification force. However, this purification force caused all beast souls to subconsciously feel fear. No matter how weak the purification force was, it still contained the aura of purification! Once a beast soul encountered this aura, it would cause irreversible harm. Furthermore, Huo Yuhao even borrowed the strength of sunlight and this purification force wasn’t too insignificant. It was possible for him to harm one or two soul beasts.
Like teacher, like disciple. Electrolux’s proficiency in necromancy was undoubted. Why? It was because he was a light-type necromancer! Furthermore, he possessed the purest power of light.
Huo Yuhao wasn’t light-type, but his spiritual powers were great. He could succeed as he temporarily controlled the power of light under Electrolux’s incantations.
“Purification force. What an impressive purification force. I didn’t expect that you had such a talent. However, you don’t seem to be light-type.” Long Xiaoyao revealed a weird look of admiration in his eyes.
The Scorpion Tiger Douluo didn’t get closer, but Xian Lin’er didn’t pursue him. She quickly returned to Yan Shaozhe’s side and took a look at Long Xiaoyao. Her eyes were also filled with terror.
Although she had been involved with fighting Zhang Peng earlier, she could clearly see when Long Xiaoyao appeared. She could also hear Yan Shaozhe’s words. At that point in time, her heart sank. The Dragon Emperor Douluo was too reputable.
However, no one would have expected such a change. She managed to win the Scorpion Tiger Douluo with the help of Huo Yuhao and he was even hurt. Xian Lin’er believed that she and Yan Shaozhe could resist the Dragon Emperor Douluo even if they couldn’t win him.
Huo Yuhao asked Long Xiaoyao, “One can’t use the strength of light if one’s not of light-type? Whose rule is that?”
Long Xiaoyao chortled and said, “Interesting. Interesting. The noises that you made from your mouth. They should be gathering the powers of the light element. It’s my first time seeing something like this. Let’s go, little fellow. Show me how much more you can surprise me.” As he said this, he already flew downwards.
Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin’er heaved a sigh of relief. They understood that this meant that they had passed this barrier. Even if Huo Yuhao lost his bet, he would only lose the materials. Their lives wouldn’t be in danger.
As he turned to the two deans, Huo Yuhao appeared apologetic. “Sorry, Dean Yuan and Dean Xian. I didn’t expect to give the both of you so much trouble. I……”
Yan Shaozhe waved his hand and said, “No, what will come will come. Even if it’s not this time, the Dragon Emperor Douluo will appear sooner or later. It’s also better to meet him earlier – at least we’ll have more time to prepare. You’ve already surprised us. Don’t push yourself too hard later. While the rare metals are precious, they aren’t essential. We’ll have the chance to obtain them again. This Dragon Emperor Douluo is at least credible. Just do your best. He won’t hurt you.”
“Alright.” Huo Yuhao nodded his head and the three of them flew down together.
The Scorpion Tiger Douluo came beside Long Xiaoyan and said, “Dragon Emperor, this…”
Long Xiaoyao glanced at him and stopped him from speaking any further.
“Yes, I’ll follow your instructions.” Zhang Peng retreated a few steps and looked at Huo Yuhao. His eyes flashed, as if he was thinking of something.
Long Xiaoyo looked at Huo Yuhao and smiled. He said, “Come on, little fellow. I’ll let you strike three times. Just unleash all your abilities. I won’t retaliate. As long as you can make me move even slightly or make me summon the strength of my martial soul, I’ll concede defeat. How about that? I’ll only use soul power of the same rank to defend.”
Huo Yuhao nodded his head and slowly shut his eyes.
From the sound of it, he seemed to be at an advantage. The Dragon Emperor Douluo was only going to use his Soul King-level soul power and wouldn’t even retaliate. In fact, Huo Yuhao knew how terrifying the abilities of such transcendent individuals were after he faced Tai Tan. Even if he didn’t use higher-ranked soul powers, his body was still at the level of an Ultimate Douluo! His spiritual powers were the same too. They couldn’t be weakened.
That was why Huo Yuhao knew that his Spirit Eyes’ spiritual-type soul skills were useless against him. He could only use his soul skills to force him to move.
Xian Lin’er seemed to be asking Yan Shaozhe something with her eyes. Yan Shaozhe replied, “Trust him. This kid knows what to do. He must have some basis before he dared to bet with the Dragon Emperor Douluo. If he told you that he could have helped you to defeat the Scorpion Tiger Douluo, would you have believed him?”
Xian Lin’er shook her head and replied, “Whatever it is, we have to protect this kid. Elder Mu was right. He’s Shrek’s future hope. In a few years, he will become a Dragon God Douluo.”
“Yes. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I won’t let anyone harm my little junior. Teacher entrusted him to me.” Yan Shaozhe’s gaze became very determined.
After Elder Mu passed away, his character had changed greatly over these few years. After the Soul Tool Department experienced a rise, he also developed several changes.
Huo Yuhao stood there quietly and started to experience changes. He quickly turned into an entire entity as he stood there calmly.
The Dragon Emperor Douluo nodded his head. Huo Yuhao combined with the heaven. While he was still young, he managed to reach such a level. Elder Mu had indeed nurtured an outstanding disciple! Although his soul power rank was a little weak, he seemed to be walking a different cultivation path. He was first increasing his spirituality before he increased his soul power.
A dim layer of golden light surfaced on Huo Yuhao’s body. The golden light wasn’t very strong, but the four Titled Douluos’ eyes brightened when they saw it.
They all had keen eyes and could tell what it was. This was a sign of an external manifestation of spiritual powers. It was their first time seeing a Soul King doing something like this.
They were even more shocked after this. The golden lights on Huo Yuhao’s body started to become thicker and thicker, while his aura kept on becoming stronger and stronger. A layer of golden fog started to rise above his body. He was accumulating his powers frenetically. His soul powers were compressed as they fused with his spiritual powers.
He’s trying to do it in one shot! The Dragon Emperor Douluo thought to himself.
At this point, Huo Yuhao’s Eye of Destiny opened and focused in the direction of Long Xiaoyao.
Suddenly, Long Xiaoyao felt his hair standing on his back.
How’s this possible? How is he making me feel threatened? Long Xiaoyao was shocked.
Huo Yuhao moved. At this instant, he moved. Behind him, four Class 6 soul thrusters released an unprecedentedly strong light. He was like a golden meteor that was crashing down towards Long Xiaoyan. He didn’t use any soul skill and purely used force. His right fist was targeted towards Long Xiaoyan’s chest.
Long Xiaoyao remained rooted to the ground. He only lifted his left hand quietly to face Huo Yuhao’s fist.
“Piak!” The fist and palm collided. Amidst a deep, rumbling sound, the golden light around Huo Yuhao’s body became stronger. The suppressive force was about to take down his opponent.
A layer of dim silvery light flashed across Long Xiaoyao’s eyes. He remained where he was without moving, but he didn’t retaliate either. He allowed the intense golden lights to impact his body. He didn’t move a single inch.
“Sovereign’s Descent. I didn’t expect Brother Mu’s Sovereign’s Descent to have been imparted to you. You’re fit to become his disciple just based on this fist.”
