After all, Jing Ziyan is a junior who is two years younger than him. She was once hailed as a genius girl and is now also a sixth-level soul instructor.
"Is it them two?" Ning Tian thought secretly.
These two had appeared in the assessment of the Practical Control Soul Guidance Department yesterday, and she recognized them immediately.
“Huo Yuhao, we are here to spar with you.” Ji Juechen slowly walked in front of Huo Yuhao, bowed and clasped his fists, and said, “Please give us your guidance.”
Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Juechen, didn't we just spar yesterday?"
Ji Juechen nodded gently: "After fighting with you yesterday, I felt that my sword intent has deepened, and I want to spar with you again."
"But I waited at your dormitory door all night and didn't see you return, so I had to come to the teaching building to look for you today."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
He was beginning to realize how difficult Ji Juechen was to deal with.
The fight has just ended and you're already blocking the door?
Huo Yuhao suggested, “How about this, Brother Juechen, you should go back and think carefully first. As the saying goes, fighting without thinking is useless. How about we fight again in seven days?”
His previous battles with Xiao Hongchen were about once every one or two weeks, but now it was Ji Juechen who took over.
"Are you scared?" Jing Ziyan giggled and tried to use a clumsy method of provoking her.
Huo Yuhao smiled wryly and said, “Auntie, you can’t say that. Brother Juechen is no match for me. It’s useless to challenge him blindly.”
Hearing Huo Yuhao's call, Jing Ziyan interrupted him instantly.
"Aunt?"
She is in her thirties, so it is normal for her to be called that, but she obviously can't accept it.
"Yesterday, it was only because Ji Juechen was careless that he lost to you. Since you said so, do you dare to accept my challenge?"
"Before we came here, we asked the Red Dust Hall Master for permission. He said that he would be very happy to see us exchange friendly ideas."
"Oh, by the way, the head of Hongchen Hall also asked us to bring you a message, it's very important."
Why would the old toad Jing Hongchen go to these two guys to pass on the message?
Huo Yuhao muttered, "What did you say?"
"We forgot. You can only remember it after fighting with us." Jing Ziyan said shamelessly.
“You…” Huo Yuhao was speechless. He stood up and was about to leave. “I’ll go find him myself.”
"Wait." Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen blocked the door, "If you don't agree, we won't let you go out."
Xuan Ziwen frowned and said, "Zi Yan, don't do it in the laboratory."
"Senior Xuan, as long as this junior brother Yuhao goes to the trial field with us, we will never fight in the laboratory."
“You two…” Huo Yuhao was almost laughing at their anger.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, then let's go to the trial field."
Xuan Ziwen wanted to follow him out.
"Do you need a referee?"
"No need, Mr. Xuan, let's settle it privately."
Huo Yuhao waved his hand and left behind Ji Juechen and the others.
In the trial field, Jing Ziyan finally realized the terrifying strength of this five-ring junior.
Even though she had watched a fight between her and Ji Juechen, and had heard Ji Juechen talk about her abilities, and had made all the necessary preparations, she was still defeated miserably.
The ice crystal spear condensed by Huo Yuhao, which was filled with extreme coldness, might be better than the most powerful close-range soul guide available today.
As her name suggests, Jing Ziyan's martial soul is smoke, but in the face of Huo Yuhao's cold air, the smoke cannot dissipate at all.
Huo Yuhao displayed his own powerful and aggressive fighting style.
Although he was at a higher level than Xiao Hongchen, Jing Ziyan had no experience in dealing with him. He could only release an invincible shield to deal with him hastily. His performance was even worse than Xiao Hongchen.
While defending, Jing Ziyan also tried to fight back, but she could not touch Huo Yuhao at all. After the invincible shield was broken, the soul guide in her hand was frozen by ice, and she reluctantly announced her defeat.
Just after beating Jing Ziyan, Huo Yuhao turned the tip of his spear and pointed it directly at Ji Juechen who was off the field.
"Next one coming"
"it is good."
Ji Juechen did not refuse. He jumped into the air, flew onto the field, took over Jing Ziyan's position, and started a round-robin battle.
Jing Ziyan walked off the field depressed, looking at the two people fighting fiercely on the field, and couldn't believe that she lost so easily.
"No, I will definitely find a way to counter him next time."
Huo Yuhao didn't know that he was being targeted by another sticky person.
Ji Juechen was obviously on guard today. He kept a tight grip on the hilt of the sword with both hands and concentrated his soul power on the front half of the Meteorite Sword. This effectively prevented the sword from slipping out of his hands and being frozen.
The two of them came into close combat, and the sharp sword energy came towards him, causing Huo Yuhao to squint his eyes unconsciously.
In order to end the battle quickly, Huo Yuhao did not want to let Ji Juechen lose in close combat, so he used the soul shock that he had not used for a long time.
Ji Juechen's body paused visibly, and the strength in his hands loosened. Huo Yuhao seized the opportunity and used the same trick again, knocking his Meteorite Sword away.
Huo Yuhao has never stopped practicing his combat skills. Now, the degree of integration of his mental power and soul power has been further improved, and the power of his soul impact has also greatly increased.
The long sword fell out of his hand. Ji Juechen stopped in silence for a long time, clasped his fists and said, "I lost."
Jing Ziyan slowly walked onto the stage and handed the sword back to Ji Juechen. She looked at Huo Yuhao with complicated eyes: "Are you really just a Soul King?"
“Okay, can you tell me what important message the Red Dust Hall Master asked you to bring?” Huo Yuhao said.
Jing Ziyan said: "He just informed you to go to Mingde Hall to find him. We don't know what it is specifically about."
Looking at the two men and women in front of him who were still unsatisfied after the battle, Huo Yuhao fell silent.
Chapter 286 The Mysterious Visitor of Mingde Hall
Huo Yuhao slowly walked towards Mingde Hall.
The Ice Emperor praised: "Yuhao, you did a great job. You defeated two Soul Emperors easily. The human with the sword didn't even have time to display his so-called sword intent."
Huo Yuhao snorted softly: “If he only knows how to use the sword in close combat, he will never be my opponent in his entire life.”
"I didn't even distance myself, and a bunch of my skills were useless."
"You have the soul power of a soul emperor and the so-called sword intent, but you can't touch me at all. It's hard to arouse my interest."
Huo Yuhao said slowly, and although his tone was full of disdain, what he said was true.
Ji Juechen's sword intent is strong, but his attack method is too simple and he has abandoned defense, so he is too easy to deal with.
The two magical skills of mental detection and mental sensitivity alone are enough to see through all of Ji Juechen's moves and counter them.
“To be honest, Xiao Hongchen is a little more difficult to deal with than him. At least Xiao Hongchen knows that he is extremely difficult to deal with with a bunch of invincible shields.” Huo Yuhao commented sharply.
Huo Yuhao has complicated views on Ji Juechen, the sword fanatic.
He had rarely seen a martial arts fanatic like this who was so absorbed in practicing martial arts.
He admired this kind of people, but he couldn't quite understand them.
What I admire is that such people have their own firm goals and keep working hard for them.
What puzzled him was that he didn't know what Ji Juechen's purpose was in becoming stronger.
From a certain perspective, Ji Juechen and Xuan Ziwen are very similar. They are both very pure people who have extreme passion in a certain field.
But the difference is that Xuan Ziwen's passion for soul guides has a purpose, which is to help promote technological development in the entire society.
However, Huo Yuhao could not sense Ji Juechen’s purpose.
Others become stronger, no matter good or bad, selfish or selfless, what is the purpose? But Ji Juechen is like a pure heart, just to become stronger for the sake of becoming stronger.
Although he lost, Huo Yuhao did not feel any negative emotional fluctuations from Ji Juechen, only a faint enthusiasm, indicating that he couldn't wait to face the next battle, and it didn't matter whether he won or lost.
“Yuhao, what are you thinking about again…” Tian Meng was most familiar with Huo Yuhao’s thoughts and asked curiously.
"It reminds me of some things in my previous life." Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice, "Many teachers told us that studying hard is just like practicing hard in this world."
"But they didn't teach us what to do after we have learned and practiced to perfection."
Yin Lex's old voice sounded: "Child, why are you confused? Don't you have your own goals?"
Huo Yuhao laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “Mr. Yin, there should be a lot of people like me. We have clear goals for the little things in front of us, such as passing an assessment or wanting to take revenge on someone. Once we have identified our goals, we know what to do.”
“But when it comes to grand narratives, even those who teach us only speak big, empty words that they themselves don’t really believe, but we believe them and run around like headless flies.”
"forget it. I'm done here."
Huo Yuhao stopped talking to himself and recalled the battle with Ji Juechen just now.
After all, Ji Juechen is the chief who actually controls the Soul Guidance Department. His sharp sword intent is indeed something to be proud of, and it would not be pleasant if he was really cut by it.
Huo Yuhao did not take it head-on. The oncoming sword energy forced him to use a soul shock to block it.
At that time, he was in close combat with Ji Juechen, and his eyes clearly felt stronger pressure than other parts of his body.
Not only are his eyes fragile, they are also the location of his martial soul.
Huo Yuhao knew very well that if the eyes, as his martial soul, were injured, the consequences would be more terrible than if any other part of the body were injured.
That not only means blindness, but also means that the martial soul is shattered and all cultivation is lost.
Although the original martial soul is more powerful than other martial souls, it is also easier to break. This is a secret that many soul masters do not know.
Before this, Huo Yuhao had not paid much attention to this issue. Today, being surrounded by the sharp sword intent, he paid more attention to the protection of his eyes.
He needs a defensive soul guide.
He has always relied on the Ice Emperor to protect his body, and his powerful defense means that he does not need any other defensive soul guides.
But the Ice Emperor Bodyguard also lacks protection for the eyes.
Huo Yuhao walked and thought at the same time, and in a blink of an eye he had walked into the elevator leading to the underground base.
What type of defensive soul guide is needed?
He didn't like consumables like invincibility shields. He had a few of them in his belt, but he rarely used them.
