Chapter 96 Huo Yuhao: The Ultimate Ice Against the Sun's Fire, the Advantage Lies With Me!
Within the Sea of Spirit, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm smugly twisted its plump body.
"Not necessarily. His elemental attributes are also very strong, and I also sensed a special aura emanating from him."
Hyotei gave Tenmu a cold glance.
"Hey! Be reasonable, Bingbing. Since that human was able to forcibly cut off Yuhao's mental detection, his mental strength must be extraordinary."
"You just saw it yourself, that incredibly precise control of power. Isn't that enough to explain things? Elemental attributes affect mental power—that requires a soul power level like yours to achieve."
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm cried out in utter dismay. Ever since that night when it first met Kong Tianxu, it and the Ice Emperor had been arguing about what kind of power could be so formidable at a glance.
But the fact that two knowledgeable super soul beasts debated for so long suggests that the power was clearly more complex than they claimed.
Huo Yuhao's spiritual form looked at the chaotic scene, sighed helplessly, and then asked in a deep voice:
"Hyotei, you just said his attribute is very powerful? Could it be even more powerful than your Ultimate Ice?"
"Of course not. Extreme attributes, especially mutually restraining attributes like ice and fire, have an almost absolute suppressive effect on non-extreme attributes. But your cultivation level is too far behind his, and his fire attribute is very close to the ultimate fire. It's hard to say how much effect this suppression can have."
Huo Yuhao's spirit received an affirmative answer, and his expression immediately brightened. He then turned to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm:
"Brother Tianmeng, is he really a five-ring Soul King? How can he be so powerful at such a young age? Did he use drugs?"
"His cultivation level is indeed real," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said lazily, "but his actual strength might not be as formidable as you see. That attack of his was actually amplified by the two girls behind him."
"What truly deserves your attention is his mental strength."
Tianmeng Bingcan's voice suddenly became serious:
"Although I haven't sensed his specific level of mental power cultivation, his application of mental power is definitely above yours. If you ever face him in the future, be sure to wake me up to prevent him from causing any irreversible damage to your mental sea."
"Furthermore—" Tianmeng Bingcan and Bingdi exchanged a glance, "Regarding his spirit rings, Bingbing and I discussed it and came to the same conclusion."
As they once again engaged in a heated discussion about the various wonders displayed by Kong Tianxu, a small gray sphere stirred in a corner of the Sea of Spirit.
"That seems to be—the aura of divine consciousness? But why is it so strange? I can't understand it at all."
Electrolux murmured in his aged voice.
He certainly couldn't understand it, because that single glance contained the Origin of All Things.
Kong Tianxu led the Sun and Moon Team members back to the Star Emperor Hotel with ease. Even after he opened the door, the crowd that had gathered behind him still hadn't dispersed.
In their eyes, there was reverence, shock, and a hint of worry.
"What are you doing here?" Kong Tianxu asked, completely bewildered.
"Hmm? Didn't you overexert your soul power and exhaust yourself?"
Xiao Hongchen looked puzzled. In his opinion, given that Kong Tianxu was at the Soul King level and could continuously unleash such a terrifying attack, it was already an amazing feat that he was able to walk back.
"You're overthinking it. Hurry back to your training. The round-robin tournament is about to begin. If we draw the 2-2-3 strategy, then each of us will have to use it. Old Ma, you're just going along with them."
Kong Tianxu waved his hand, and before Xiao Hongchen and the others could react, they were pushed out of the room.
"I give up," Ma Rulong sighed.
Laughing at the world, he gave a bitter laugh to himself.
"I give up too."
Their strategy is actually quite similar to Shrek's. They both aim to achieve a crushing victory in their first battle, thereby deterring subsequent opponents and reducing the likelihood of further casualties from fierce resistance.
The original plan was to end the battle by firing a barrage of multiple soul-guided turrets, but Kong Tianxu said he would come alone.
Then, with a single strike, he wiped out the entire Changning team.
Xiao Hongchen asked himself, perhaps if he were fully prepared, he could defeat his opponent with a single, all-out attack, but it would be impossible for him to be so precise, let alone achieve such a shocking effect like the might of heaven, and then be able to talk and laugh freely after the match.
"Hehe." Old Ma suddenly laughed out of the blue, breaking the silence. Without even arranging the next tactics, he went straight back to his room.
"Laughing at the world, if I ever believe something you say in a moment of madness again, I'll take your surname."
Ma Rulong glared at him, then turned and left.
Meng Hongchen covered her face; she couldn't bear the shame.
Xiao Hongchen didn't take it seriously and was still eager to try. He had already begun to imagine what kind of declaration he should make after defeating Shrek Academy to achieve a similar domineering effect as Kong Tianxu's words today.
"It's a pity we won't be facing Shrek Academy in the round-robin stage."
He chuckled, unable to suppress a smile, and muttered to himself with a hint of regret.
Not necessarily.
Kong Tianxu overheard their conversation, smiled slightly, and immersed his mind in his soul power, silently sensing the changes within it.
The soul power was no longer entirely its original bright silver color; strands of golden light shimmered within it, and beyond the flowing silver radiance, a strange luster was added. That luster was dreamlike and illusory, casting a hazy purple veil over the brilliant galaxy of soul power.
It was a layer of light membrane, a mysterious deep purple light membrane. With this layer of light membrane, even without deliberately activating it, he could feel that the quality of his soul power had changed, becoming more noble and filled with a strange fluctuation.
This fluctuation is directly related to the soul, completely merging with one's spiritual power and even deeper spiritual consciousness. Kong Tianxu could even vaguely sense that, under the impetus of this fluctuation, his spiritual power and soul power were gradually becoming a single type of power, no longer indistinguishable from each other.
To be precise, divine consciousness is the spiritual consciousness that is transforming into divine consciousness.
His greatest gain in the Valley of Love and Destiny was not the tangible but intangible spiritual power, nor the third martial soul and Ye Xishui's soul imprint, nor the unprecedentedly large prototype of the soul core that Zhong Liyuan helped him condense.
Rather, it is divinity, a divine nature inherited from the God of Destruction.
Electrolux, Tianmeng, and Bingdi's feelings were not entirely wrong. When Huo Yuhao tried to use mental detection on him that day, he interrupted it in a fleeting glance. It was the unconscious leakage of the aura of tangible but intangible spiritual power and the destructive element of the silver dragon under the guidance of this divine seed.
Enveloped by the Origin of All Things Domain, the three are integrated into one, making it impossible for them to make accurate judgments even in their respective areas of expertise.
However, the God of Destruction was a bit stingy. As one of the five great enforcers at the pinnacle of the divine realm, he didn't even give him a single divine artifact. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a predicament now.
Kong Tianxu looked at the blood-red killing intent that still crisscrossed his many vital meridians and sighed helplessly.
What he didn't know was that, according to the normal procedure, he hadn't yet reached the stage of being granted the seed of divinity with his current cultivation level. The reason why the God of Destruction was willing to designate him as the successor so early was simply because his talent was too outstanding.
To his surprise, his soul power, after undergoing the transformation of the Destruction God, could still fuse with Cain's soul power, and the fusion degree of their martial souls even increased further.
In the team battle against Changning Academy, it was precisely because of the amplification of soul power after the fusion of martial souls that he was able to find another way, bypass the severed soul power circulation in his body, and directly activate his soul skill.
It seems the little maid has gained quite a bit in the Valley of Love and Destiny. Kong Tianxu then recalled the pale white light curtain at the end of the Road to Hell.
As for the Gold of Life—according to the original story, it appeared at the Starlight Auction House on the night after the first round of the round-robin tournament ended. He has already sent someone to communicate with them, and he should be able to get his hands on it soon.
In his memory, the small auction themed around soul tools only had three items, which was really not worth the trip.
A jumble of thoughts drifted through his mind, and his soul power finally returned to its full state.
He didn't try to show off in front of Xiao Hongchen and the others. In the short time it took to walk back from the competition venue, he had already fully recovered.
If he could unleash his full power, there would be no need for Cain and Xu Tianzhen to amplify his abilities; he alone would be capable of using that level of Solar Storm Domain.
As he said, his victory stemmed from undeniable strength.
With his spiritual power focused on the sharp and imposing crimson aura within his body, Kong Tianxu's body suddenly lit up with a pale golden light, and his surging soul power launched a fierce attack on that crimson aura!
His personality wouldn't allow him to sit idly by and wait for the life-giving gold. He had to try, no matter what, whether the return to the origin of all things could weaken the blood energy containing the power of the Asura God in the mouth of the God of Destruction.
The gold and red colors meet boldly.
The crimson color weakened slightly, but remained unchanged, while the abundant soul power within Kong Tianxu's body instantly dried up.
efficient!
Although it barely weakened his blood energy, Kong Tianxu's eyes still lit up, and his heart burned with excitement. Even the divine power of the enforcers could break through his own domain. If he could use his domain in more places...
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he stopped imagining more uses for the domain and looked up at a certain place.
Inside the room with the doors and windows tightly shut, a figure in red suddenly appeared.
It was Ye Xishui.
"How are those things going?" Kong Tianxu glanced at her and then resumed his meditative posture.
Ye Xishui was originally invited by him. He knew that not only would Xuanzi accompany Shrek Academy throughout the entire event, but even Mu En might come to watch the competition at any time. In addition, being in a foreign country with poor diplomatic relations, relying solely on his grandfather would inevitably make his strength seem somewhat weak.
"Your Majesty, the tasks you instructed us to undertake before your arrival have been distributed. In Star Luo City, we've already established contact with the Starlight Auction House regarding the Soul-Devouring Blade; only the final transaction remains."
"The organizing committee members have visited you as you requested, and they all expressed their willingness to accept the proposal."
well.
Kong Tianxu smiled slightly.
Feng Shui turns.
The first round of elimination matches lasted for three days before it ended, and the number of participating teams was reduced from 133 to 67. Apart from the crushing victory of Kong Tianxu and his team, almost every match was quite intense.
The audience members who had watched the battle in Xingluo City were completely aroused, and people lined up early every night.
Despite the efforts of the Star Luo organization to minimize casualties, nearly two hundred participants still suffered injuries of varying degrees during the first round of elimination matches. Tragically, over a dozen trainees died from their injuries.
Next comes the second stage, a round-robin tournament, which is no longer a simple team battle but has transformed into three different battle modes. The sixty-seven teams have been divided into eight groups, with two teams advancing from each group to compete for the final sixteen spots.
However, this year, with the help of certain individuals, some previously established traditions are being quietly broken.
It was still the same conference room at Shrek Academy. Wang Yan hurriedly pushed open the door.
After glancing around at the group of people who seemed to be in relatively good spirits, he loosened his slightly tight collar and let out a deep breath:
"Before we officially begin, I have some bad news to announce."
"In the round-robin tournament, we will most likely be grouped with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
"What?!" The reserve team members exclaimed in unison, especially Xiao Xiao, whose face turned pale with fright.
Ma Xiaotao frowned slightly. In the past few days, she had heard about Kong Tianxu from other team members, but on the one hand, she had not seen it with her own eyes and could not understand the shock that the reserve team, including Wang Yan and others, felt on the spot.
On the other hand, what is her personality? Stronger opponents only fuel her fighting spirit. And since they both play with fire, how could she possibly be inferior to them?
"Teacher Wang, according to past practice, the champion and runner-up shouldn't be paired together in the round-robin stage, right? What's going on here?"
Wang Dong couldn't help but ask. After the elimination rounds ended, she and Huo Yuhao had secretly rejoiced that they wouldn't have to face Kong Tianxu for a while. She didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly.
"It was a group of people from the tournament committee who suddenly made trouble, saying that a situation like the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy simultaneously using their reserve teams as their main forces was a once-in-a-millennium occurrence. In order to meet the audience's expectations, they made a difficult decision to bring forward this decisive battle where no team would fall."
Wang Yan practically spat out the words through gritted teeth as he spoke. Anyone could see the ulterior motives behind this reason. Some people knew that Shrek Academy's main players were unable to play, and they clearly wanted to see Shrek Academy make a fool of themselves!
It's a cover-up! This is a blatant cover-up!
However, while he was indignant about the unfair treatment he had received, he forgot that he had recently hinted to an official from Shrek Academy to "appropriately" regulate the supplementary registration process for the Sun and Moon team.
"What about our senior? Could we ask him to help mediate?"
Jiang Nannan, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.
Wang Yan shook his head: "I couldn't contact him, and it's almost a done deal. We need to think about how to fight them."
Dai Yueheng hesitated for a moment, "How about I go find my father—"
"No!"
Huo Yuhao immediately interrupted him.
"We are Shrek! Would we back down because of the strength of our opponents? Of course not!" Beibei and the others' eyes sharpened almost instantly.
"Then let Xiao Tao go on stage. That person's strength is too terrifying. He wiped out a Soul King and six Soul Masters with just one Soul Skill, and with that same Soul Ring ratio. Even with the amplification from others, such talent is truly unfathomable. I can't risk your lives."
Wang Yan looked at Ma Xiaotao and received a calm gaze in return.
"That's what I wanted to say too."
Huo Yuhao smiled, and the judgment made by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm resurfaced in his mind:
"His ability to control the power of his soul skills so precisely at the Soul King level indicates he must possess spiritual attributes. Furthermore, we can basically deduce that his martial soul is the sun. Therefore, considering this soul ring configuration, he can only be..."
"Twin Martial Souls!" Wang Dong exclaimed in surprise.
"Exactly, a Soul King who is not even fourteen years old, and with such a Soul Ring ratio, is absolutely impossible even if he relies on drugs."
The only explanation is that after he added spirit rings to his first spirit, he began adding them to his second spirit, which is why he was able to become a Spirit King so early.
Everyone looked thoughtful, and Xu Sanshi grinned broadly.
"The sun and moon are ultimately just the sun and moon. Even if a genius like you with twin martial souls appears, you still use such a wasteful cultivation method. It's far inferior to the future of you junior brothers."
"But that doesn't diminish his power." Bei Bei blurted out, then, as if remembering something, he looked at Huo Yuhao with surprise.
"In terms of mental strength, I have special methods to deal with him. As for fire attribute, if Senior Sister Ling and I were to appear together, with Senior Sister's cultivation level, she would definitely be able to exert absolute suppression on him under the amplification of my ultimate ice."
"As long as it's not a one-on-one elimination tournament, then—"
Huo Yuhao waved his hand confidently, a flash of emerald green appearing in his eyes.
"This will be a complete victory."
In the other room, Kong Tianxu, who was meditating cross-legged, couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, his voice trembling.
