There was no time to be shocked. Tang San gritted his teeth and used [Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track] and [Controlling Crane Catching Dragon] to grab Huo Yuhao. A faint light appeared on his hand, which was the [Mysterious Jade Hand]. Since he couldn't control Huo Yuhao by relying on his soul skill, he could only get close to him.
Huo Yuhao did not dodge and let Tang San grab him. Xiao Wu also seemed to see an opportunity, as she was very familiar with Tang San's techniques. If she was caught, it would be difficult to break free, and now was her chance. She jumped up quickly, wanting to kick Huo Yuhao down while he was tied up.
The idea was great, but just as Tang San reached for Huo Yuhao's shoulder, his hand went right through! Tang San's eyes widened.
Fake? How is that possible?
He realized that he had fallen into a trap and was about to remind Xiao Wu, but when he turned around, he saw Huo Yuhao standing behind Xiao Wu with his hand on her neck.
"You're out."
Huo Yuhao said with a smile. Xiao Wu pouted. She didn't expect that she would be eliminated so soon. She stomped her feet, walked aside, and looked at Huo Yuhao angrily.
"What kind of soul skill is this?"
Tang San was in a bad state. His ally was deafeated in an instant, and he was left alone to face Huo Yuhao who had a second ring.
Huo Yuhao was not in a hurry to attack, but said to Tang San, "Use the weapon you made, and your second martial soul, otherwise you can't beat me."
Tang San also experienced Huo Yuhao's terrifying combat awareness and did not dare to be careless.
"Then be careful, I can't stop my Hidden Weapons midway."
"It's okay. Come on."
The battle continued. This time, Tang San used [Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track], but did not rush towards Huo Yuhao again. Instead, he moved around Huo Yuhao in a disorderly manner, with hidden weapons flashing silver light constantly flying out of his hands.
Huo Yuhao nodded secretly. It was good that he could realize it immediately and change his strategy. He was not in a hurry and dodged left and right, and a strange scene appeared. Faced with numerous hidden weapons, Huo Yuhao dodged some of them, while others almost hit him but they passed right through him.
This greatly affected Tang San's judgment, and he couldn't tell whether it was an illusion or the real body. Seeing that the hidden weapons were almost exhausted, Tang San gritted his teeth and rushed towards Huo Yuhao. At the same time, he had an exquisite hammer in his hand and swept it towards the opponent.
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, and before the hammer hit him, he took two steps forward and instantly grabbed Tang San's wrist. Then he used Tang San's momentum to do an over-the-shoulder throw.
With a bang, Tang San just lay on the ground, his eyes wide open and a little dazed. Huo Yuhao clapped his hands lightly and explained, clearing up Tang San's confusion.
"My first soul skill can see your movements from every angle, and it's easy to find your flaws."
Seeing that the winner had been decided, Xiao Wu hurried over.
"Yuhao, what skill did you get? Is it related to illusion?"
"That is my second soul skill. I call it [Imitation]. In fact, the effect is not perfect. If you look closely, you can clearly see the difference from the original body. It's just that the speed is too fast and you can't see it."
Then he demonstrated the effect, causing Xiao Wu and Tang San to exclaim in admiration.
"No, no, this soul skill is too shameless. Next time, you can't use this soul skill. Let's fight again."
She was a little dissatisfied with her quick elimination in the last game.
"Okay, Xiaosan, what about you?" Huo Yuhao looked at Tang San.
"I want to fight too, Yuhao, you are so strong."
Tang San got up, dusted himself off, and smiled bitterly, but a fighting spirit that refused to admit defeat surged in his heart. Since We restricted his second soul skill, he didn't believe that they would lose.
Just like that, after waiting for Tang San to pick up those hidden weapons, the second round officially began.
This time, Huo Yuhao really did not use any [Imitation]. Instead, he relied on his extreme speed and strong physical fitness to forcibly entangle Xiao Wu, preventing Tang San from using hidden weapons. After the 'Spiritual Eyes' evolved, the other soul skill provided by Tian Meng: [Spiritual Interference] has also now changed.
The target of this soul skill will have a chilly feeling, and even simple movements will consume a large amount of physical strength, and the soul power consumption of releasing soul skills will also increase dramatically.
With this feature, Xiao Wu was quickly subdued and the game returned to one-on-one. This time Tang San saw that all his hidden weapons were within Huo Yuhao's [Spiritual Detection]. He could dodge in advance as soon as he moved his fingers, so he couldn't hit him at all! In the end, he had no choice but to admit defeat. He didn't want to be thrown down again.
"Damn it, why do you keep targeting me?"
Xiao Wu was very angry. She was forced to leave the field quickly both times. Just now, she felt very uncomfortable with the cold feeling from Huo Yuhao getting close to her.
"I've already put a lot of effort in restraining myself."
Huo Yuhao scratched his head. Otherwise, he only needed to use [Spiritual Shock] and Xiao Wu would fall down. Of course, he didn't dare to use this skill. The soul shock released after evolving into 'Dark Spirit Eyes' must not be used on partners.
Huo Yuhao thought back to his experiment, when a Snow Wolf soul beast treated him as food. With [Spiritual Shock], the wolf's mental strength was directly eroded by darkness, and the wolf was so scared that it turned around and ran away with its tail between its legs. That was permanent damage!
Back to the present.
After two battles, the two people witnessed Huo Yuhao's terrifying strength. Tang San also secretly made up his mind to practice harder in the future and not be left behind by Huo Yuhao.
A few days later, it was time to start the new school year.
The three of them set out on the journey back to school. Before leaving, Huo Yuhao gave most of the money he had earned from selling spirit tools that year to Old Jack. Coupled with the many things bought for Old Jack, Old Jack was so scared that he thought Huo Yuhao had robbed a noble's house.
After hearing Huo Yuhao's amusing and tearful explanation, he patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder with relief, saying that the child had grown up and he didn't need to worry about him anymore.
…..
One night, Tian Meng asked in Huo Yuhao's mind, "Yuhao, what are you going to do with your next soul ring?"
In a blink of an eye, it was already the end of the third school year and a long vacation was about to begin. Huo Yuhao's soul power had just reached level 30. This speed was simply unbelievable in the eyes of others. A nine-year-old Soul Elder?
But this was the result of Huo Yuhao trying his best to suppress his cultivation, allocating most of his energy to improving his physical fitness.
Otherwise, Tian Meng's terrifying energy alone would have allowed him to advance one major realm every year. However, if he did that, Tang San's father would be wary and might attack him one day. He currently has no means of countermeasure and chooses to keep a low profile.
Summon Snow Empress for help?
Not to mention whether his small body can withstand possesion, if people senses the aura of the Snow Empress, I'm afraid countless Titled Douluo will come to capture him and take him back for research. In this life, I don't have a background as huge as Shrek's, so I'm afraid I can only hide here and there.
There are many benefits to suppressing the level in this way, and the effect of improving physical fitness is also obvious. He estimates that he can already absorb soul rings of about 30,000 years.
By the time you reach rank 40, you should be able to carry a lot of Snow Empress' power, and then you should have no problem saving your life through the skills released by Snow Empress' soul.
Let's go back to Tian Meng's question just now.
Huo Yuhao pondered.
"After my rebirth, my physical fitness has far surpassed that of my previous life. It is not appropriate to continue on my old path. I may not be able to encounter a soul beast of the right age. I have to make new plans."
Moreover, from Huo Yuhao's current perspective, those ordinary soul beasts are of no help to him. His goal is to become a god, so he should try to choose soul skills that will be helpful after he becomes a god.
"Bingbing, do you have any suggestions?"
Tian Meng looked at Ice Empress beside him and arched his body.
"Don't push your luck. I usually stay in the Extreme North and only interact with the Snow Empress. I don't know if there is any soul beast that is suitable for Yu Hao."
Ice Empress shook her head and said the first sentence to Tian Meng, and moved a little further away from Tian Meng without making a sound.
"Got it! It's a soul beast that Teacher Wang Yan told me about in my previous life. He looked regretful at the time and said that if that soul beast had not become extinct, it would have been very suitable for me. It should still be there now."
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up.
