The black fifth soul ring was always flashing, and the fifth soul skill, mental agility, was activated.
This was the first time that Huo Yuhao used his mental acuity in combat instead of carving, so he naturally did not miss the opportunity to experiment.
With twice the mental sensitivity, Ji Juechen's movements were all slowed down by half. Combined with mental detection, Huo Yuhao felt that Ji Juechen was full of flaws.
Seeing that the sword in his hand was blocked by the ice crystal spear, Ji Juechen compressed his sword intent and vented the sharp sword intent on Huo Yuhao, trying to expand all the blocking ice.
However, his surging sword intent was like a drop in the ocean in front of Huo Yuhao and was completely swallowed up by the mysterious icy vortex.
Huo Yuhao grinned, and the coldness burst out from his spear, climbed up the blade of the Meteorite Sword, and froze it together.
Ji Juechen wanted to draw back the sword and attack again, but he saw that the meteorite sword was already firmly connected to the spear.
The sword intent burst out again, trying to shatter the ice, but Huo Yuhao did not give him this opportunity.
He swung his spear violently, and driven by his powerful force, the sword in Ji Juechen's hand instantly slipped out of his hand.
The ice shattered, and the meteorite sword flew dozens of meters away. Ji Juechen was unarmed, and the sharp sword intent in his body suddenly seemed to fall apart.
Huo Yuhao cast the cold light behind him and said with a smile: "Brother Juechen, can you still fight without a sword?"
Ji Juechen lowered his head, staring blankly at his empty hands, then took a deep breath, bowed and said, "I lost."
Huo Yuhao dispersed the cold light, picked up Ji Juechen’s meteorite sword, and returned it to him.
"The game is over." Lin Jiayi announced at the right time. The disciples of the Soul Guidance Department in the rest area all looked at the field in disbelief.
"No way, that sword idiot actually lost?"
Lin Jiayi came onto the field with a smile: "You can go down now."
Huo Yuhao was about to leave when Ji Juechen suddenly called him.
"Huo Yuhao, what do you mean?"
My idea?
Huo Yuhao has always felt that sword intent is a very subjective thing and didn’t know how to answer Ji Juechen.
After thinking for a moment, he replied: "I think what I mean is pragmatism."
“I’ll use whatever works best.”
Ji Juechen clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your guidance. I will continue to seek your advice in the future."
Is there really no way to escape?
Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly.
Originally, he planned to use an absolutely strong attitude to kill Ji Juechen in close combat in seconds, without even using other soul skills, in order to let the other party feel the gap between them, so that he can practice well on his own first and not have the intention to challenge him all day long.
Huo Yuhao admitted that Ji Juechen’s cultivation was good, but his attack method was too easy to deal with.
If he only knows how to use the sword, then unless his skills are far ahead of mine, he will never be my opponent.
The king of cold weapons has been determined since ancient times.
In the spectator seats, one person was extremely excited when he saw Huo Yuhao's outstanding performance.
And turnips.
Chapter 281 and Cai Tou's Request (4.3k)
"The battle ended so quickly."
Fan Yu carefully recalled the battle that ended so quickly and neatly, and sighed.
Qian Duoduo nodded somewhat bitterly: "Yes, Yuhao's departure is a loss for Shrek."
While sighing, Qian Duoduo sensed something was wrong.
Although Huo Yuhao is now an international student of Xingluo, the talent he has shown so far seems to be a little too strong.
How could the Sun-Moon Empire easily allow such a genius to return to the enemy country?
Thinking of this, Qian Duoduo fell into deep thought.
On the rostrum, Jing Hongchen's fat old face was full of smiles.
As the chief of the Soul Guidance Department, Ji Juechen is already over 20 years old, so it is impossible for him to be sent to participate in the next Soul Fighting Competition.
But now that Sun Moon Academy has Huo Yuhao, and there are still three years before the next competition, it is exciting to think about how much he will grow by then.
But Jing Hongchen had never considered whether Huo Yuhao, a creature with extremely strong subjective initiative, would really finish the game step by step?
After defeating Ji Juechen, Huo Yuhao did not return to the audience seats, but planned to go directly back to the laboratory. At this moment, Lin Jiayi's voice spread throughout the venue through the loudspeaker soul guide.
"The next match is between Grade 6 Nana and ..."
Huo Yuhao subconsciously stopped and planned to observe the fight of this female student.
This female student named Nana is very popular throughout the Sun and Moon Academy. She is tall and heroic, and is affectionately called Ghost Nana by other students.
Huo Yuhao had also heard a little about this celebrity.
“Ghost Nana? Is her martial spirit a ghost?” Huo Yuhao muttered to himself.
There are many types of martial souls, and there are many special martial souls that are difficult to directly classify as beast martial souls or weapon martial souls, such as ghosts.
At the beginning of the game, Nana's opponent was a fifth-level soul mentor boy who was also in the sixth grade.
Nana held a short blade soul guide and quickly closed the distance between herself and the opponent. Her opponent seemed to be very good at defense and put up a huge soul guide shield to protect himself.
For a while, the two fought fiercely and it was evenly matched.
Two yellow, two purple and one black, a total of five soul rings were jumping behind Nana. She was extremely fast, constantly changing positions, searching for the opponent's weaknesses.
But the boy did not give her any chance. He also turned the direction of his shield, making it impossible for Nana to attack. From time to time, he also sent out a soul guide ray to counterattack.
Suddenly, the fourth soul ring behind Nana flashed, and a shadow jumped out from her body, bypassing the shield and wrapping around the opponent.
At the same time, Nana tapped her feet lightly, bypassed the soul guide shield, and stabbed the opponent's torso with the short blade in her hand.
The boy stood there as if he was trapped, unable to react at all.
The personal defense soul guide lit up, and the boy sighed deeply and said, "I give up."
Nana retracted the short blade and said calmly, "Thank you for letting me."
Lin Jiayi announced loudly again: "Sixth grade, Nana wins."
The whole audience burst into cheers again: "Ghost Nana, Ghost Nana..."
Nana was not excited about her popularity. She just smiled, waved to the audience, and returned to the rest area.
Huo Yuhao looked at her one last time, turned around and walked towards the laboratory with a grim expression.
Just now, when Nana performed her soul skills, she used a special power - soul power.
Ordinary soul masters will never be able to come into contact with this special power in their lifetime, but Huo Yuhao knows that there is an organization that likes this power very much and also masters many secret techniques related to it.
Holy Spirit Church.
Huo Yuhao has been taking time to secretly investigate the Holy Spirit Church, but the other party has done a good job of concealment.
He initially wanted to start from Mingde Hall to see if he could find the other party by following the direction of the soul guide that Mingde Hall had customized for the Holy Spirit Church, but he had no idea where to start.
He didn't want to expose himself, so he had to see if there were any other ideas.
“Soul power... Could this Nana be related to the Holy Spirit Church?” Huo Yuhao pondered to himself. His intuition told him that the answer should be yes.
He has not seen other normal soul masters display soul power yet, but Nana's martial soul does not seem to be an evil martial soul, so it might be the other party's innate ability.
But no matter what, it is necessary to contact this Nana.
One advantage of being a celebrity in the college is that Nana's whereabouts are easy to find out, whether it is the dormitory or the teaching location.
Huo Yuhao didn't want to alert the enemy, so he planned to follow him secretly first.
From the information he had collected over the past year, he knew that the Holy Spirit Church was a large-scale evil soul master organization.
The Holy Spirit Church is currently doing the following:
First, they continue to absorb evil soul masters from all over the continent to expand their own scale. Not only in the Sun and Moon Empire, but also in the other three countries, their personnel appear.
Second, keep killing people and collecting vengeful spirits. These powerful soul powers will be handed over to the leaders above, perhaps for their practice or for some other purpose.
Third, they will collude with the Sun and Moon royal family and support Crown Prince Xu Tianran to ascend the throne. After Xu Tianran ascends the throne, he will definitely give them more benefits.
Huo Yuhao was very confused.
Such a powerful evil soul master organization must not have been established overnight, and there are so many Titled Douluo-level powerhouses. How come there have been no rumors about the Holy Spirit Church circulating throughout the continent before?
He plans to change his mindset.
To support such a large organization, enormous resources are required.
Huo Yuhao didn’t believe that all of their resources were provided by the royal family or Mingde Hall. If they could raise so many strong people, why didn’t they raise normal ones?
It should not be that all the money was obtained through murder and robbery, so this organization must have an equally large chamber of commerce to engage in sufficiently large-scale trading activities.
Only in this way can the resources they looted be legally laundered and turned into gold soul coins to exchange for other resources.
As a result, Huo Yuhao instantly had an idea.
"Why didn't I think of it before?" he said with some joy.
There are many large chambers of commerce both above and below the ground in Mingdu, and we can start with these forces, but Huo Yuhao doesn’t know much about them for the time being.
At the same time, a crazy idea flashed through his mind.
After returning to the laboratory, Huo Yuhao practiced while thinking about his next plan.
Ke Ke, Ning Tian and others also gradually returned to the laboratory to discuss what they had seen and heard during the assessment.
Another normal day ended. Huo Yuhao said hello to Xuan Zi as usual and left the laboratory.
"Teacher Xuan, I'll be leaving first."
"Yeah." Xuan Ziwen responded without even raising his head. He was always the last one to leave the laboratory.
As Huo Yuhao walked out of the door, he saw a familiar tall figure standing in the corridor. When the other person saw Huo Yuhao, he showed an honest smile.
Seeing the newcomer, Huo Yuhao said in surprise, “Brother Caitou?”
"Yuhao, your get out of class is finally over." He Caitou said, "I want to have a good chat with you."
