Testing His Strength

An hour later, by the stream.

With a thunderous boom, a blue figure was sent flying backward. Along the way, the ice-cold aura instantly froze a large stretch of stream water solid.

Huo Yuhao climbed up from the ground, gasping for breath. Though his red clothes were tattered at that moment, his eyes burned with fighting spirit!

"What? Still want to continue?"

Bibi Dong lightly shook her fair little hand, her gaze appraising the stubborn Huo Yuhao as he rose to his feet again with interest.

"Let's go for a little longer. It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying fight!"

Bibi Dong slowly nodded. Then, her entire body vanished from where she stood. At the same time, without even thinking, Huo Yuhao gathered Extreme Ice elemental power in his right hand and thrust it toward his front right. The surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and even the wind blowing around them carried traces of chill.

Emperor's Palm, Great Cold Without Snow!

The instant Huo Yuhao attacked, Bibi Dong appeared before his front right as well and swung out her palm.

One large and one small palm collided. At the point where their palms met, bone-piercing frost and terrifying killing intent crashed together, seeming as though they would melt away the surrounding air.

Bibi Dong was clearly surprised by Huo Yuhao's reaction speed, and in that instant of surprise, Huo Yuhao successfully seized an opening.

Faint Golden Light shone from Huo Yuhao's eyes, and Bibi Dong only felt an invisible Sense of oppression descend upon her mind.

This was precisely Huo Yuhao's King's Descent!

This Self-Created Soul Skill had been passed down by the Light Holy Dragon, Mu En, before his death. It ingeniously combined physical and spiritual attacks, and its effect was far more than a simple one plus one—it increased explosively by an exponential degree.

The moment Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong exchanged palms, Huo Yuhao had already begun building up King's Descent. When the two palm strikes collided, the effect of King's Descent erupted completely.

Although the gap in Soul Power between Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong was as vast as heaven and earth, this sudden spiritual attack still disrupted Bibi Dong's attack rhythm.

A perfect chance!

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. The ice-attribute Soul Power around his body gathered once more, and with a grasp of the empty air, a longsword forged from ice appeared In hand.

Emperor Sword, Ice Extreme Unrivaled!

The sharp blade, carrying a temperature near absolute zero, slashed toward Bibi Dong.

Feeling the pressure radiating from that sword, Bibi Dong actually sensed a trace of danger!

One had to know that she was a Level 96 Super Douluo. Even without summoning her Martial Soul, her physique was still that of a Super Douluo, yet Huo Yuhao had made her feel threatened!

One had to know that this little fellow before her had only just obtained his First Soul Ring!

Bibi Dong increased the output of her Soul Power, wrapping it around her entire body layer by layer. As for Soul Skills, she absolutely did not dare use them, afraid that she might hurt Yuhao.

It doesn't matter if I suffer a minor injury, but Yuhao absolutely cannot be harmed, Pope Bibi Dong thought to herself.

However, Huo Yuhao ultimately still failed to injure Bibi Dong. Emperor Sword was blocked by her powerful Soul Power, and the blade Stagnated about half a foot from Bibi Dong's body, unable to advance any farther.

Though Snow Empress's Ice Extreme Unrivaled was immensely powerful, it depended on who used it. Huo Yuhao currently possessed only Level 18 Soul Power, making it impossible for him to display Ice Extreme Unrivaled's true might.

"I never expected it, Yuhao. The sword strike you unleashed just now already possessed the full-force power of an ordinary Soul Ancestor. However, if this is all you can do, then this battle can end here!"

After Bibi Dong finished speaking, her Aura rose another level.

Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that the Soul Power Bibi Dong exerted upon him had grown stronger, reaching a level close to Level 50.

"Teacher, don't forget—I haven't used my Soul Bone skills yet! Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Head Bone's first skill, Spiritual Battle Song! Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Head Bone's second skill, Spiritual Shock!"

Facing the powerful Bibi Dong, Huo Yuhao did not dare be careless in the slightest and immediately used the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's two Soul Bone skills.

The first Soul Bone skill, Spiritual Battle Song, was an enhancement—or rather, an auxiliary—skill. It had only one effect: upon using a Soul Skill, it instantly increased Spiritual Power by 100%!

Moreover, this skill could be used not only on Huo Yuhao, but also on others. However, it had a limitation: it could only be applied to Soul Masters whose Spiritual Power was equal to or lower than his own.

Huo Yuhao's current Spiritual Power had already reached the Soul King Level. In other words, this auxiliary skill could be used on anyone below the Soul King rank.

The second Soul Bone skill, Spiritual Shock, was an offensive skill.

Its function was to use a special spiritual frequency to disrupt an opponent's Spiritual Power, causing negative mental effects.

Against Soul Masters whose Spiritual Power was weaker than his own, Huo Yuhao could even use Spiritual Shock to directly interrupt their release of Soul Skills, interfere with the circulation of their Soul Power, or even knock them unconscious.

However, although these two Soul Skills were unbelievably powerful, they required an enormous amount of Soul Power. After Huo Yuhao used both skills, more than half the Soul Power in his body was instantly drained away.

Yet the effect they produced left Huo Yuhao extremely excited. When the two skills were applied to Bibi Dong together, they actually caused her Soul Power circulation to Stagnate for an instant.

Though it had lasted for only an instant, Huo Yuhao was already very satisfied. He had also gained a deep understanding of his current strength.

He still had not used all his strength when fighting Bibi Dong just now. If he erupted with his full power, he could definitely deal with Soul Masters at the Soul King Level. As for Soul Masters above the Soul King rank, there was still Brother Sky Dream!

With Brother Sky Dream's terrifying spiritual power, he could absolutely restrain Strong persons at the Titled Douluo level and even contend with Super Douluo-level Strong persons for a short time, buying Huo Yuhao time to escape.

Of course, all of this was based on Huo Yuhao not using Divine Power. If Huo Yuhao truly used Divine Power, he could kill anyone on the continent within a second.

However, the consequences of using Divine Power were clearly not something Huo Yuhao could endure. He would probably fall unconscious instantly.

Furthermore, there was a strong possibility that he would attract the attention of the God Kings of the God Realm.

After all, no God King could tolerate an unidentified deity wandering around Douluo Continent. Therefore, before he had grown strong enough to contend with deities, Huo Yuhao would absolutely not rashly use power above the divine level.

The reason Huo Yuhao had dared use the power of the Eye of Destiny to seal a trace of Rakshasa Divine Sense before was that he had merely used the power within his Divine Sense, so it naturally had not drawn the attention of any Deity.

However, Huo Yuhao could sense that the seal he had placed on the Rakshasa Divine Sense had begun to gradually weaken. It was time to find an opportunity to seal the Rakshasa Divine Sense again.

Just as Huo Yuhao was silently pondering, he suddenly faintly heard the sounds of battle coming from nearby.

Moreover, from the place where the battle was taking place, Huo Yuhao sensed an aura close to that of Extreme Ice!
