"How does it feel? Does this Soul Ring meet your requirements?" Ice Empress approached Huo Yuhao familiarly and patted him on the shoulder in a casual manner.
"Very good."
Huo Yuhao said somewhat shyly, "Thank you very much Aunt Bing, for helping me find this Ice Silkworm. If it weren't for Aunt Bing, I wouldn't have been able to capture it so easily."
Hearing this, Ice Empress curled his lip in disdain and said, "Thank me? You should thank that big worm in your head instead."
After saying that, she crossed her arms and showed a look of disgust on her face.
This Ice Silkworm got its eye on; tsk tsk, it's just unlucky of it.
The Ice Silkworm that Huo Yuhao hunted down probably never imagined that it would be betrayed by its own kind.
As Ice Silkworm, yet leading humans to hunt and kill its own kind, only the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm would do such a thing.
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao gave an awkward smile.
He had been spending some time with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and it wasn't hard to deduce some things from their daily interactions.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm never considered itself a member of the Ice Silkworm Clan.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept urging himself to hunt down an Ice Silkworm as his Second Soul Ring.
Friend, it's delicious!
Thinking of this, a strange look appeared on Huo Yuhao's face.
However, it must be said that the Second Soul Skill that Brother Sky Dream found for himself is quite useful.
The Second Soul Skill is called Simulation.
Although it's not Soul Skill that directly increases combat power, it's a very practical Soul Skill.
The color and number of disguised Soul Ring are just its most basic applications; further development is needed to unlock its full potential.
This alone made Huo Yuhao very gratified.
After all, he didn't want to flaunt a Golden Soul Ring in broad daylight.
Although I now have a mentor, it's best to keep a low profile as much as possible.
"So, are you confident you can pass the test your master set for you?" Ice Empress asked again.
"There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
Huo Yuhao scratched his head and subconsciously raised his arms to look up. "He is also a student who just enrolled this year, and his cultivation level should be at the initial stage of the third ring."
My current Soul Power Level has reached level twenty-five.
"Although his cultivation level is slightly higher than mine, with the advantages in my Martial Soul and Soul Bone, killing him is no problem at all!"
At this point, a hint of resentment flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
"Indeed, Ice Explosion Technique." Ice Empress said with a sigh, her face full of envy.
This is an ability that even she, the Queen of the Ice Jade Scorpion, couldn't control.
Huo Yuhao, a two-ring Soul Master, was fortunate enough to possess the Soul Bone of their Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, and thus gained access to the divine skill Ice Explosion Technique.
Ice Empress couldn't help but feel a bit irritated at the thought.
That was the Soul Bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, and it ended up benefiting a human boy.
Even without the other Soul Bone she provided Huo Yuhao, which contained the Ice Jade Empress Pincer Soul Skill,
In Ice Empress's view, Huo Yuhao's physical qualities, which far surpassed those of a second- Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, and his Soul Power at the level of Ultimate Ice, were enough to make him a formidable opponent.
Killing a mere junior disciple who had just entered the Third Ring Realm was as simple as it could be for Huo Yuhao.
Ultimate Ice combined with Ice Explosion Technique.
With just one contact, injecting chilling energy into the opponent's body, the battle is over.
Ice Empress quite admired this young man, Huo Yuhao.
The reason is simple.
It wasn't just because of his god-like master; Huo Yuhao's personality also made him quite popular with Ice Empress.
They are willing to endure hardship and have a strong will.
Moreover, his resilience is quite good.
A Soul Ring that is perfectly positioned at the limit of endurance is not so easy to absorb.
Snow Empress also noticed the envy on Ice Empress's face, and looked on with amusement.
She knew that Little Bing'er had always wanted to challenge herself.
This applies to both one's own possessions and those of the world.
It's just that it's never succeeded.
However, even if Ice Empress had the Ice Explosion Technique, it wouldn't have been able to harm his former self, let alone his current self.
Thinking of this, Snow Empress couldn't help but look at her smaller self.
After Lin Mo reshaped her body, the young Snow Empress's strength improved to some extent compared to before, but the improvement was not significant.
A crucial baptism was missed.
If she wants to reach the same level as herself, Lin Mo would probably need to ascend to the Divine Realm and be baptized by the Immortal Spirit Qi.
Even so, she was still no match for him.
Because I had been baptized one more time than she had.
I am still the strongest!
Feeling the gaze of the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress subconsciously looked up and gave an embarrassed smile.
We can't beat them, we really can't beat them!
Not long after, at the outer courtyard of the Shrek Academy.
The Soul Fighting Arena was filled with the clamor of voices.
The circular area was already packed with people, and the noise was rising in waves.
The outer disciples, who had been temporarily summoned, whispered among themselves, their faces full of excitement.
"The fact that they suddenly called us over means something big must have happened."
"Nonsense, would we need to alarm all the core disciples of the outer academy if it weren't something serious?"
"Who's fighting whom? Why are you being so mysterious?"
Similar conversations echoed among the crowd, and various speculations arose one after another.
They were summoned suddenly, without even knowing why the sparring session was being held or who the two sides were.
Only the core first-year students in the Mu Jin Class knew some of the inside story after they had just gone through the freshman assessment.
The expressions on their faces were subtle as they sat in the corner of the stands.
Dai Huabin, who passed the freshman assessment, was just called over by the dean.
If nothing unexpected happens, Dai Huabin should be one of the two people in this sparring match.
Dean's Office.
Zhang Lexuan sat behind her desk, looking at the straight-standing boy in front of her, and sighed inwardly.
"That's how it is, Dai Huabin. Someone specifically asked you to have a sparring match with him!"
A flicker of pity crossed his eyes, as if he were looking at a dead man.
"Dean Zhang..."
Dai Huabin took a deep breath and said, "Sparring is fine, but I'd like to know some more specific details."
As a warmonger, he did not resist a friendly sparring match where someone was named.
Among his peers, he fears no challenge from anyone!
This is the pride of the son of the White Tiger Duke.
Among his classmates in the outer academy of the Shrek Academy, very few could stand up to him head-on.
"Well, you'll find out when the competition officially starts."
Forced to take over as dean of the Outer Court Martial Soul Department under Mu En's orders, Zhang Lexuan said helplessly, "As for his age, he's about yours, and his strength should be at the Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster."
Upon hearing this, a clear look of disappointment flashed across Dai Huabin's face.
"I understand, Dean. I won't lose this match!" Dai Huabin's tone was full of confidence.
Even if a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster has the most tricks up their sleeve, they can't make much of a splash under the suppression of their level.
Zhang Lexuan waved her hand, signaling Dai Huabin to leave on his own.
As Zhang Lexuan watched his departing figure, she couldn't help but recall the information she had gathered about Huo Yuhao's experiences during this time, at Mu En's request.
With the clues quite clear, investigating Huo Yuhao's background would be an extremely simple matter for the Shrek Academy.
Like Dai Huabin before him, he was also the son of the White Tiger Duke, but the two harbored an irreconcilable hatred for each other.
According to information she gathered from the servants in the Duke's Mansion.
Although both are sons of the White Tiger Duke, Huo Yuhao and his mother Huo Yun'er lived a life worse than that of servants in the Duke's Mansion because of their mothers' humble origins.
It's even said that Huo Yun'er's death was caused by Dai Huabin and his mother, the Duchess.
The hatred for killing one's mother is irreconcilable!
Given this grudge, it's perfectly normal for Huo Yuhao to want to openly and fairly kill Dai Huabin to take revenge after his strength has improved.
Zhang Lexuan understands this hatred.
If it were her, she would have made the same choice.
The only thing that gave Zhang Lexuan a headache was Huo Yuhao's chosen method of revenge.
He wanted to kill Dai Huabin openly and honestly in front of so many people from the Shrek Academy.
Killing one's enemy in this way is tantamount to announcing to the entire White Tiger Duke's Mansion, "I, Huo Yuhao, have come to collect my debt."
Zhang Lexuan had no doubt about the outcome of this competition.
He learned from Mu En the true identity of this Little Brother Huo: a disciple of the gods.
Without such distinguished status, Xuan Zi and Dean Yan wouldn't still be sealed in ice, turned into statues, serving as a warning to everyone in the inner academy not to cause trouble by relying on the Shrek Academy's reputation.
Before long, Zhang Lexuan, who had volunteered to serve as the referee for this sparring match, looked at the two people standing on either side.
She announced loudly, " Huo Yuhao of the Body Sect will face Dai Huabin of Shrek. This sparring match is a matter of life and death!"
As Zhang Lexuan finished speaking, a commotion erupted among both the two people already in position inside the arena and the core disciples of the outer court who were acting as spectators outside.
"People from the Body Sect? How come there are people from the Body Sect in our academy?"
"Life and death are irrelevant? Is this really a friendly sparring match?"
"When did Shrek Academy ever allow outsiders to come and challenge us?"
The audience erupted in discussion instantly.
"A disciple of the Body Sect? How is that possible?" Wang Yan pushed up his glasses and stared intently at Huo Yuhao, who stood tall in the arena, as if trying to find some useful clues from him.
"How could Xuan Zi and the others allow a disciple of the Body Sect to come and challenge their Shrek Academy?"
Wang Yan, a disciple of Xuan Zi, was filled with doubt at this moment.
He knew all too well the relationship between the Shrek Academy and the Body Sect, and he also knew how domineering the Body Sect's style of doing things was.
Furthermore, the relationship between the Shrek Academy and the Body Sect is not good.
Wang Yan found the behavior of these members of the Body Sect coming to challenge their sect utterly baffling!
This doesn't make sense.
Let's not even discuss how a disciple of the Body Sect managed to single-handedly storm into the Shrek Academy Taunt.
The college's higher-ups would never tolerate such a thing happening!
Unlike the solemn expression on Wang Yan's face, the other core disciples of the outer courtyard all wore teasing expressions.
"This kid's got some nerve, daring to cause trouble at the Shrek Academy."
"Judging from his appearance, he probably doesn't know the meaning of death."
"Maybe the people from the Body Sect are all mentally unstable."
Various taunts began to spread from the audience.
So what about the Body Sect?
They are definitely no match for the Shrek Academy.
Zhang Lexuan withdrew her gaze from Dai Huabin, closed her eyes, and said calmly:
"In this sparring match, life or death is irrelevant!"
"Start!"
As Zhang Lexuan finished speaking, the two people in the arena released their Martial Soul almost simultaneously.
With a low roar, Dai Huabin, accompanied by the possession of the White Tiger Martial Soul, suddenly grew taller, and his hands transformed into tiger paws, spewing out sharp blades.
Three Soul Ring, two yellow and one purple, suddenly appeared beneath his feet, with the first and third Soul Ring lighting up again.
The White Tiger Protection Barrier and the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, two Transform -enhancing Soul Skill, were released simultaneously, raising his figure even higher.
With the combined effect of the two amplifications, Dai Huabin's body had swelled to over two meters in size.
Although he didn't know why he was suddenly thrown over here to spar with a kid from the Body Sect.
However, it doesn't matter if I don't know; I'm not going to lose anyway.
Thinking of this, a fierce look flashed across Dai Huabin's face.
Regardless of life or death, excellent!
It's not like he hasn't killed someone before!
Since the rules allow killing, there's nothing to worry about.
Huo Yuhao, who was some distance away from Dai Huabin, took a deep breath and suppressed his inner turmoil.
He closed his eyes, and a gentle face appeared in his mind.
Mom, just watch closely as your Little Yuhao helps you slowly recoup interest from your enemies!
Let's start with Dai Huabin. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have died...
Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, a golden light flashing in them.
Spiritual Detection!
An invisible wave emanated from him and spread outwards, clearly reflecting everything within a radius of tens of meters in his mind.
Two Soul Ring Soul Ring, one white and one purple, suddenly appeared beneath his feet, flashing alternately.
Huo Yuhao accelerated and rushed towards Dai Huabin. His arm, covered in diamond-like ice crystals that gleamed coldly, suddenly collided with Dai Huabin's tiger paw.
The moment the two collided, a power far exceeding his own level erupted from Huo Yuhao's right arm.
Ice Jade Scorpion Right Arm Bone Soul Skill: Ice Jade Empress Pincer!
Effect: Greatly increases the strength and attack power of the forelimbs.
With a bang, Dai Huabin was suddenly knocked back by Huo Yuhao's superhuman strength.
Dai Huabin grinned as he looked at the frozen tiger fur, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
The tiger's paws were covered with a layer of frost, which was spreading upwards along its fur, causing even the flow of Soul Power to become sluggish wherever it went.
Although the person from the Body Sect in front of him was weaker than him in strength, his physical strength far surpassed his own.
Dai Huabin gritted his teeth, trying to use his Soul Power to dispel the cold energy that had invaded his body, but found that the cold energy was extremely stubborn, and his Soul Power was even frozen as soon as it came into contact with it.
This kid's aura is strange!
Alarm bells rang in Dai Huabin's mind.
Isn't he from the Body Sect? What's with this chilling aura? Could it be Soul Skill?
Several thoughts flashed through Dai Huabin's mind in an instant.
Before Dai Huabin could think further, Huo Yuhao in front of him suddenly moved.
His figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
Dai Huabin instinctively raised his arm to parry, but missed.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao, who had concealed himself and circled to the other side using the two Soul Skill of Simulation and Mental Interference, looked expressionlessly at Dai Huabin not far away:
The Simulation Soul Skill distorted the light, and the Mental Interference Soul Skill interfered with Dai Huabin's perception.
Under the combined effect, Huo Yuhao seemed to have disappeared from Dai Huabin's eyes.
Goodbye, Duchess's son!
As Huo Yuhao's left arm glowed faintly, the Ice Explosion Technique was activated with alarming force.
With a loud bang, Dai Huabin's arms, which had previously come into contact with Huo Yuhao, suddenly exploded.
The explosion came without warning.
Ice crystals shattered from within the flesh, turning both arms into a bloody mess.
A scream rang out, Dai Huabin suddenly snapped out of the Simulation and Mental Interference.
The intense pain instantly freed him from the influence of the Mental Interference.
He looked down at his arms, only to see two bare shoulders and wounds gushing blood.
He subconsciously looked up at Huo Yuhao not far away, only to be greeted by Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly lighting up and turning completely golden.
An extremely strong Psywave immediately entered Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness through his eyes.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Million-Year Soul Ring granted Huo Yuhao his only offensive Soul Skill: Soul Impact!
Released without reservation at this moment.
Under Huo Yuhao's all-out Soul Impact, Dai Huabin's head exploded like a rubber ball.
Red and white substances flew everywhere, splashing onto the ground of the Soul Fighting Arena and onto Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao, whose clothes were stained with blood, didn't seem to care at all, and even subconsciously licked the blood off his body.
The taste of blood spread across his tongue, but Huo Yuhao seemed oblivious to it.
The hatred that had been building up in his heart for many years was finally released at this moment, and his face was filled with the pleasure of vengeance!
The outer disciples of the Shrek Academy, witnessing this cruel and bloody scene for the first time, all began to vomit.
