Chapter 223 Ultimate Showdown (Part Two)
"Hiss..." Beibei gasped in surprise, unsure of what effect this attack would have on a person.
After dodging Luo Yu's attack, Huo Yuhao's body shone with golden light, and he rushed towards Luo Yu like lightning, throwing out his right fist heavily, aiming straight for Luo Yu's shoulder.
Their fists collided with a muffled thud, and both of them were knocked back. In a contest of strength, Huo Yuhao, as a disciple of the Body Sect, believed he would not lose to Luo Yu, but he underestimated Luo Yu's soul-guided armor.
Most of his power was absorbed by the strange soul-guided armor, with only a small portion transferring to Luo Yu. However, Luo Yu's power was also surprisingly great. The moment their fists clashed, Huo Yuhao felt as if he had crashed into an indestructible piece of steel, and the immense recoil caused both of them to stagger backward.
Neither of them gained any advantage from this punch. Huo Yuhao did not continue to pursue, and as the golden light around him flashed, he finally stabilized his stance.
Is there something wrong with his armor?
This was Huo Yuhao's biggest question. The armor put immense pressure on him. An ordinary Soul Master would never have been able to withstand his punch, which used the Body Sect's secret technique, intact.
Huo Yuhao's body trembled again, and an icy blue domain rapidly unfolded around him. In Huo Yuhao's eyes, it seemed as if endless wind and snow from the far north were roaring, and reflected deep in his pupils was the faint image of a green scorpion.
"The Realm of Eternal Freeze, open!"
The temperature on the stage plummeted in the next instant, and snow began to fall from the platform!
It would be unwise to confront Luo Yu head-on with his strange armor; Huo Yuhao knew he wasn't absolutely certain of success.
Fighting Luo Yu, who possesses a strange soul-guided armor, would definitely not be a wise choice. Huo Yuhao asked himself if he should continue to choose a head-on confrontation. If he wanted to defeat Luo Yu, he would have to make good use of the characteristics of his twin martial souls and bring out his own advantages.
As Huo Yuhao unleashed his Eternal Freeze Domain, the temperature on the competition stage plummeted, and a biting chill permeated the arena, so much so that even the spectators nearby could feel the icy cold.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao's current strength is only that of a Soul King. If his soul power were to rise to the level of a Soul Saint, he could perfectly control the Eternal Frozen Domain and suppress Luo Yu within it.
But reality doesn't offer "what ifs"!
A large amount of cold air and solid ice continuously covered the arena. Before long, Luo Yu's body was also covered with a thick layer of frost. Under Huo Yuhao's control, the cold air continued to gather towards Luo Yu, but a faint light membrane around Luo Yu blocked the cold air's advance.
Although Luo Yu's soul power was being rapidly depleted, he remained calm, quietly sensing the changes and wonders of the Eternal Frozen Domain.
"Watch closely, this is the strength of the Shrek captain. Today, your task is to study the strength and fighting style of everyone in Shrek Academy!"
Luo Yu's voice rang in the ears of the six people through a specially made soul tool, and this scene made all six people turn their gazes to Huo Yuhao.
From the stands, it looked like Luo Yu was trapped in Huo Yuhao's domain, but only Huo Yuhao himself knew exactly what he had locked up.
Luo Yu looked at Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao looked at Luo Yu; neither of them took the initiative to attack.
At present, Luo Yu has not suffered any substantial damage. Once Huo Yuhao chooses to take the initiative, as long as Luo Yu finds the slightest flaw, the Eternal Frozen Domain will be immediately destroyed. Although Huo Yuhao himself feels that taking the initiative and cooperating with Jun Lin Tianxia has a great chance of gaining an advantage, he really does not dare to act rashly in the current situation. Who knows if Luo Yu also has some trump cards waiting for him to make a move.
Seeing this bizarre scene, Xu Sanshi frowned and asked, "Even Yuhao's Eternal Freeze Domain couldn't have much effect on this guy named Luo Yu. What exactly is that kid wearing?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Su Yu also has a soul-guided armor, but Su Yu's soul-guided armor is very different from this one. It's possible that Su Yu's soul-guided armor is a copy of Luo Yu's." He Caitou's eyes lit up as he looked at the soul-guided armor. That wasn't just a soul-guided armor; it was his future path to becoming an eighth-level soul master!
Bei Bei's expression was serious. After a long silence, she slowly spoke, "Yu Hao is wearing down his opponent's strength. His opponent is too strong. At first, Huo Yu Hao's mental attacks couldn't effectively damage Luo Yang. Now, Luo Yu is trapped in Yu Hao's Eternal Frozen Domain. For the next period of time, it will be a battle of attrition between the two. In terms of soul power, Luo Yu doesn't have as much as Junior Brother, but I'm not sure what other tricks Luo Yu has up his sleeve. This round is too difficult..."
Five more minutes passed, and Luo Yu still stood quietly in the center of the Eternal Frozen Domain. However, Huo Yuhao's face was somewhat pale at this moment. The Eternal Frozen Domain was too taxing, and he could not maintain it for long. Moreover, he did not take advantage of the Eternal Frozen Domain to launch an attack, which resulted in his consumption being exceptionally high.
Huo Yuhao's figure gradually disappeared from Luo Yu's sight and disappeared into the Eternal Frozen Domain. Luo Yu calmly activated the Soul Guidance Detector and simultaneously maximized the Soul Guidance Shield's Soul Power Output.
Huo Yuhao's aura completely disappeared within the domain, but no matter how well the aura disappeared, as long as Huo Yuhao launched an attack, the soul-guided detector could immediately detect or locate his position.
When Huo Yuhao silently arrived beside Luo Yu, his hands had already turned ice blue. His figure was like a ghost as he struck with lightning speed, his palms heading towards Luo Yu's shoulders.
boom!
The soul-guided protective shield was instantly destroyed by those two seemingly light palms. Without hesitation, Luo Yu turned around, raised his hands, and met Huo Yuhao's Ice Emperor Claw with both palms.
Seeing this, Bei Bei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Luo Yu was careless. He shouldn't have used his hand to catch Yu Hao's soul skill. The outcome is decided; Yu Hao has won."
However, what happened next was not what Beibei expected. A crimson light appeared in Luo Yu's palms, which were within arm's reach.
"Holy crap, the captain really went all out! That's a palm-sized thunder cannon! The closer you get, the more damage it does. The captain just came up with this a while ago, and we're already using it today. Damn, I wish I could have one of these too." Rachel looked at the crimson light in Luo Yu's palm with envy.
In an instant, Huo Yuhao realized something was wrong. He saw that Luo Yu's palm shone brightly, and the crimson light, accompanied by a thunderous roar, burst forth in an instant, like several bolts of lightning exploding at the same time. The deafening sound shattered the surrounding solid ice.
Oh no, we've fallen for their trap! It's too late to dodge, we're too close!
Boom!
The two palm-sized thunder cannons slammed solidly into Huo Yuhao's Ice Emperor Claw, unleashing tremendous power upon him. Even though Huo Yuhao managed to gather a large amount of extreme ice to block the explosion in a short time, a significant portion of the blast still landed squarely on the Ice Emperor Claw.
The massive impact sent Huo Yuhao flying. Before Luo Yu could make another move, Huo Yuhao immediately used the Ghost Shadow Step, using his powerful physique to quickly disappear into the Eternal Frozen Domain.
In terms of quick reflexes, Huo Yuhao had already pushed himself to the limit. However, he was still dealt a heavy blow by Luo Yu. If Huo Yuhao hadn't reacted in time, the palm lightning cannon would have crippled his hands!
Although the palm thunder cannon did not cause fatal damage to Huo Yuhao, it completely shattered the Ice Emperor's Claw, and even Huo Yuhao's own hands were charred black.
Fortunately, he wasn't injured, but his hands were still trembling slightly, and the power of the explosion still left him with lingering fear.
If it happened again, Huo Yuhao wouldn't have the Ice Emperor's Claw to defend himself. The Tang Sect's Xuan Yu Hand alone wouldn't be able to block the Palm Thunder Cannon at close range.
Luo Yu smoothly put away the palm-mounted thunder cannon, and a soul-guided longsword appeared in his hand, which he thrust towards the raised hand not far away.
With a single thrust of the sword, a crisp sound of ice shattering echoed through the frozen domain. A figure was thrown back and then vanished from the domain once more.
A delicate soul-guided bomb was aimed at a certain direction and thrown again by Luo Yu. Huo Yuhao immediately manipulated his domain to block the soul-guided bomb with ice. The moment he blocked it, the delicate bomb exploded instantly. The violent explosion caused the Eternal Frozen Domain to tremble slightly. However, when Huo Yuhao looked at the place of the explosion again, he saw a blinding white light bloom again.
The entire frozen domain was instantly enveloped in white light. Huo Yuhao sensed something was wrong and immediately closed his eyes. This fighting style gave him a damnably familiar feeling. He couldn't pinpoint where this fluid fighting style came from, but his intuition told him that he had definitely seen it before.
With time running out, he didn't have much time to think about these things. Under immense pressure, Huo Yuhao's brain was working at lightning speed.
The next moment, the Eternal Freeze Domain disappeared, and Huo Yuhao took the initiative to dispel it.
The current situation no longer allows him to maintain the Eternal Frozen Domain, because it seems that some kind of mark has been planted on him by Fallen Feather, and the Eternal Frozen Domain can no longer provide him with protection.
In the distance, Luo Yu's blood-red wings spread out like a dragon's wings. Seeing this, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate. His spiritual eyes burst forth with icy blue light, and countless threads appeared out of thin air, constantly wrapping around Luo Yu.
Looking at those icy blue double pupils, Luo Yu knew that Huo Yuhao had now completed the second awakening of his original martial soul, and his body had been greatly strengthened. Otherwise, he would not have been able to withstand her palm thunder cannon.
The Palm Thunder Cannon was originally invented to defend against those with extremely strong close-range attack power. Although I had tested it against the Hall Master before, it seems that the power of this cannon is quite considerable.
Countless icy blue rays converged, firmly restricting Luo Yu's movements in mid-air, and those double pupils unleashed an unprecedented binding force at this moment.
In the end, Luo Yu was sealed inside an ice-blue ball of light, through which one could seemingly see flickering figures.
"Admit defeat." Huo Yuhao stood up in a disheveled state, looking at Luo Yu who was sealed inside the ball of light.
"Yeah?"
His response was a jet-black annihilation ray. The annihilation ray was extremely powerful, but its weakness was also obvious: it was not fast and could be easily dodged.
Three annihilation rays were fired in succession. The ice-blue light sphere trembled slightly, but there was no change, not even a crack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three consecutive palm-shaped lightning cannons were unleashed close to the ball of light. The violent explosions caused the icy blue ball of light to tear under the strain, and finally, it came to an end with a tooth-grinding cracking sound.
Clang!
Numerous fragments fell to the ground. Luo Yu slowly landed on the ground, looking at Huo Yuhao, whose eyes were filled with disbelief. At that moment, it seemed as if something cracked in Huo Yuhao's eyes...
"Impossible, how could my awakened soul skill possibly be..."
Just as Luo Yu looked into Huo Yuhao's eyes, a violent mental shock flooded into his mind.
We've fallen for their trap!
That was Luo Yu's only thought at the time. Without hesitation, Luo Yu used her wings to wrap herself up, instantly forming a perfect defense.
However, even the strongest defense needs to be maintained by someone, let alone the fact that Luo Yu is currently in a state of mental blankness due to the soul impact.
Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't let this golden opportunity slip by. He summoned the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul once again, wrapping a large amount of extreme ice around Luo Yu's soul guide wings, and a large amount of soul power continuously condensed.
When Luo Yu awoke again, he could feel a large amount of soul power gathering on his soul guide armor, and this soul power was extremely unstable and could explode at any moment.
Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone, Ice Explosion Technique!
Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao immediately activated the Ice Explosion Technique. A large amount of soul power contained in the extreme ice erupted instantly, engulfing the entire arena in a violent explosion. Even the arena's soul guide protective shield was almost broken by the explosion.
Seeing Luo Yu engulfed by the Ice Explosion spell, the members of the Sun and Moon Team were all sweating bullets. Although they believed in Luo Yu, the current situation was indeed not optimistic.
An immense sense of oppression and a feeling of shattering constantly stimulated Luo Yu's nerves.
As Luo Yu had predicted, the extreme ice containing Huo Yuhao's soul power exploded violently after the soul power reached its peak.
The massive impact instantly destroyed Luo Yu's soul-guided armor wings, which had been painstakingly crafted at great expense. Even Luo Yu himself was slammed against the arena's protective shield by the terrifying force of the impact.
Heavily in debt and the "forever" series.
I failed two subjects; I'm ruined.
