Chapter 39 Immovable Ice Dragon Bell
Chapter 39 Immovable Ice Dragon Bell
From the moment he received the inheritance of soul magic, Huo Yuhao was almost spinning like a top.
During the day, he was busy practicing various combat skills and martial arts, as well as learning the secret method of secondary awakening. When necessary, he also had to go into the sea to fight against sea spirit beasts to verify what he had learned.
During thunderstorms, Huo Yuhao also has to go to the Thunder Pool to receive the lightning baptism of the century-old Thunder Hell Vine.
Although the process was painful, the benefits were obvious.
The cultivation of the Great Sun Thunder Body in the Martial Classic, which uses the Thunderous Hell Vine to draw upon the power of heaven and earth's thunder, even if only a small amount, has already allowed Huo Yuhao to gain a rudimentary understanding.
Over the course of two months, Huo Yuhao's soul power had made significant progress even without deliberate cultivation.
At night, Huo Yuhao was busy absorbing the Ice Marrow and the spiritual medicine delivered by Shrek Academy, using the spiritual medicine with mental attributes to master the second awakening.
At the same time, he also had to focus on learning necromancy and comprehending the rune master system.
If it weren't for the immense spiritual power brought by the Spirit Eye and the formidable physique of the Azure Sky Profound Ice Dragon, Huo Yuhao would have long since fallen ill from exhaustion.
He's completely overwhelmed right now, wishing he could split himself into several pieces.
Even when Jinpeng gave him special permission to go to Tiandou City to watch Xuanzi's apology ceremony, he didn't have the energy to go.
However, the Body Sect disciples who returned from watching the excitement brought Huo Yuhao some unexpected news.
Wang Yanfeng grinned and put his arm around his neck: "Junior brother, do you know what we saw at the Imperial Academy?"
Huo Yuhao was puzzled.
"Someone's looking for you~" Chen Yu hugged Huo Yuhao from the other side: "And it's a girl, super pretty!"
Huo Yuhao was even more puzzled.
Chen Lu laughed and punched Huo Yuhao in the chest: "Stop pretending! Confess! When did you hook up with him?!"
Even the usually shy Gu Tong chimed in with a few words of agreement.
Huo Yuhao tilted his head, his face full of confusion, completely not understanding what they were talking about.
Vina and Jiang Yixi explained to Huo Yuhao that a girl named Su Tong had come to Di'ao specifically to find him.
Huo Yuhao then showed a look of realization.
However, he was still puzzled. He had only met Su Tong twice, so why would she come looking for him?
"Well done, kid. No wonder you refused all the introductions to wives before. Turns out you already had someone in mind."
Jin Peng, who had just arrived, patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder with a boisterous grin: "Ice and Snow Maiden, awesome!"
Huo Yuhao felt somewhat helpless as they teased him.
He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Elder Jin, and fellow senior brothers and sisters, Su Tong and I are just ordinary friends, not even acquaintances."
"Ouch~" Chen Yu said in an exaggerated, drawn-out tone.
Chen Lu winked and said, "You're not even close to him, yet you can make him so unforgettable. Junior Brother, you're really charming! You're truly pitiful to behold!"
"Miss Su said she will be waiting for you at Di'ao Academy."
Vina covered her mouth and chuckled: "They even specifically told you that since you don't have time right now, you should prioritize cultivation."
"If you go to see her specifically because of this, she might get upset."
Wang Yanfeng, Chen Yu, and Chen Lu said in unison, "They'll be unhappy~"
Huo Yuhao's face darkened.
He finally understood that these people were determined to make a fool of him.
Without hesitation, the Azure Sky Profound Ice Dragon Martial Soul instantly possessed him.
He opened his pair of icy dragon claws, which were wrapped in a chilling aura, and grabbed at Wang Yanfeng and Chen Lu, who were closest to him, without any hesitation.
The two men, acting like scoundrels, simply plopped down on the ground.
They wailed and lamented, "I can't take it anymore! Junior Brother's ultimate ice is now completely formed from the stench of love!"
"Elder Jin, aren't you going to do something about him? He's found a new love and forgotten all about his senior brother!"
Chen Yu teased, "How could that be? Junior Brother and Su Tong have known each other for a long time. They are old flames."
Huo Yuhao's temples throbbed.
Jin Peng laughed heartily, his rough laughter shaking the rooftops nearby: "Young people like us, it's more fun when they're roughhousing! Xiao Yuhao, give them a good workout!"
"Gu Tong, you brat, don't just stand there, come over here with me!"
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up instantly.
Meanwhile, the playful smiles on Wang Yanfeng and his companion's faces gradually faded.
They straightened up with a jolt, looking at Huo Yuhao with tense expressions, as if facing a formidable enemy.
They could sense that their junior brother was now truly intent on taking action.
"OK!"
Chen Yu spread the wings on his back: "Let's see just how much progress our junior brother has made in the past two months!"
He soared into the air, forming a triangle with the three people surrounding Huo Yuhao on the ground, and simultaneously revealed his spirit rings.
Three spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, emerged from their bodies, all indicating they were at the Soul Master level.
Even Gu Tong, whose cultivation level is the lowest, is now a level 33 Soul Venerable.
Wang Yanfeng, the highest-ranking among them, is already level thirty-nine.
The three people on the ground nodded in perfect unison, and then Wang Yanfeng's palm suddenly gleamed with a metallic sheen.
He roared, his voice booming like thunder: "Behold my first soul skill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Tong, who was standing to the side, instantly activated his soul skill.
Two beams of silvery-white light, carrying intense heat, shot out from Gu Tong's eyes, distorting and steaming the air in their path, and heading straight for Huo Yuhao's chest.
At the same time, Chen Lu's figure flashed behind Huo Yuhao like a ghost.
His legs were straight as steel whips, and his waist twisted, creating a sharp gust of wind. A vicious side kick, like a venomous snake, struck straight at his temple.
"Do you really think we'd be willing to talk about morality with someone like you who possesses the ultimate martial spirit?!"
Chen Yu laughed loudly as he rolled over, his third spirit ring shining brightly beneath him.
His wings whipped up a fierce gale, which swept down like a sudden downpour, blocking all of Huo Yuhao's escape routes.
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go shoulder to shoulder!"
A layer of bronze-colored light slowly spread across Wang Yanfeng's palms.
This is Chen Yu and his team's plan.
They wanted to delay Huo Yuhao as much as possible to buy time for Wang Yanfeng, who was currently the only one proficient in the second awakening technique, to launch an attack.
"Junior brother, witness my second awakening!"
Wang Yanfeng raised both fists high and slammed them into the ground.
The instant his fists struck the ground, a massive wave of azure energy exploded out in a fan shape, surging toward Huo Yuhao with overwhelming force!
This is not just pure strength and soul power, but also highly skillful control.
In just a moment, four immense pressures descended upon Huo Yuhao like Mount Tai pressing down on him.
However, Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged.
Just as the four launched their attack, he decisively raised his hands and quickly formed a hand seal. His ten fingers rose like a dragon's head, and his body suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling cold light!
Within Huo Yuhao's dantian, the soul power that had been calm all along suddenly erupted at this moment.
A vast and powerful force spread to his limbs and bones at an astonishing speed.
He used the Body Protection Golden Bell, a defensive combat skill of the Body Sect, as a cover, and then brazenly activated another soul skill of the Ice Emperor Soul Ring.
"Immovable Ice Dragon Bell!"
Jin Peng, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, had a change in expression the moment Huo Yuhao's imposing, cold light rose from his body.
"This is a protective golden bell?! Yuhao actually fused it with the ultimate ice?!"
As the extreme cold aura erupted, Huo Yuhao's Azure Sky Profound Ice Dragon Martial Soul almost left his body.
In an instant, the cold air condensed into a powerful ice dragon about ten feet long!
Roar--!
A faint dragon's roar echoed as the ice dragon coiled up, protecting Huo Yuhao's body.
With a blinding cold light, it transformed into a ferocious ice dragon bell with menacing scales, blocking the combined attack of the four!
Boom!
The four attacks crashed into the Ice Dragon Bell!
The melodious and resounding chimes echoed in all directions, the ripples of sound almost materializing, and the massive shockwaves spread outwards, causing the ground to tremble violently!
The expressions of Chen Yu and the other three changed drastically.
They clearly hadn't expected that their combined attack wouldn't even break through Huo Yuhao's defenses.
Huo Yuhao clasped his hands together abruptly and shouted, "Senior brothers, it's my turn!"
The Ice Dragon Bell shattered with a loud bang, turning into countless ice crystal fragments that swept towards Chen Lu, who was closest to it, like a torrential rain!
Huo Yuhao's right hand clenched tightly in an instant.
Then, as his fingers closed, these ice crystal fragments transformed into an icy cage, locking Chen Lu firmly inside.
"Not good! Retreat quickly!" Chen Yu reacted the fastest and flew rapidly into the sky.
However, he was not the only one who possessed wings.
Huo Yuhao spread his Ice Dragon Wings and soared into the sky, his hands covered in icy mist, pulling out two ferocious-looking white dragons of frost.
"Ice Dragon Sky-Rending Hand!"
Huo Yuhao's hand, covered in ice-blue dragon scales, shot out like lightning, like the sharpest blade in the world, accompanied by a whistling sound, and went straight for Chen Yu, who was frantically fleeing.
"Junior brother, you're too ruthless! You actually used that soul skill with your senior brother!"
Chen Yu let out a strange cry and flapped his wings frantically: "I surrender!"
Ice Dragon Sky-Tearing Hand is recognized by all the elders and protectors of the Body Sect and is hailed as the strongest single-target offensive soul skill of the Body Sect.
With Huo Yuhao's current physical abilities and the Ice Dragon Sky-Tearing Hand's ability to completely ignore defensive attributes, even a defensive Soul Master would be at a disadvantage against this move.
If you're careless, you'll definitely be torn to shreds by Huo Yuhao!
This is the experience gained by thousands of sea spirit beasts in the vast ocean, through trials and tribulations with their lives.
Huo Yuhao turned around and looked at Gu Tong and Wang Yanfeng.
"Wang Yanfeng and Gu Tong volunteer!" Chen Lu shouted.
"Gu Tong and Chen Lu are not convinced!" Wang Yanfeng roared.
"I give up!" said the honest Gu Tong.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Tong and Wang Yanfeng exchanged a perfectly synchronized glance, and then quickly began to fight.
Jin Peng strode forward and said, "Not bad, Yuhao, that was a beautifully executed fusion! I never expected that the combination of Extreme Ice and defensive combat techniques could produce such an effect. It seems your efforts these past few days haven't been in vain."
"Tell me the truth, how many levels of Soul Masters can your Immovable Ice Dragon Bell defend against right now?"
Huo Yuhao said, "I haven't tested it, but it should be able to withstand a full-force attack from a newly ascended Soul King."
"Junior Brother's strength has increased so much, it's truly frightening."
With lingering fear, Chen Lu, whose restrictions had been lifted, said, "No wonder we Soul Masters couldn't defeat him."
"Alright, stop praising him." Jin Peng waved his hand to disperse the crowd: "Su Tong is still waiting for him at Di'ao."
Huo Yuhao's face, which had just recovered, immediately darkened further: "Elder Jin!"
"Haha!" Everyone laughed.
Jin Peng waved his hand and said, "Alright, enough fooling around, Yuhao."
"You and Gu Tong come with me now. Our Heavenly Soul agents, who are infiltrating the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, are waiting for you in the main hall."
