Chapter 22: Huo Yuhao's Attack and Defense
The instant Huo Yuhao concealed his figure, Xuan Zi attacked Huo Yuhao's seat with extreme speed.
With a 'bang,' Xuan Zi's certain-kill strike missed, only shattering the chair.
Huo Yuhao had already used his Simulation Spirit Ability to create a false body on the seat when Mu En told him to prepare, while his true body had long since concealed itself to the side and put on his Battle Armor.
Mu En slightly tilted his head, glancing in the direction of Huo Yuhao's true body.
When putting on his Battle Armor, a momentary spirit power fluctuation appeared on Huo Yuhao's body, which Mu En keenly captured.
It was just that Mu En's mental force had long since reached the peak of the Spirit Domain Realm, and he could only detect Huo Yuhao's momentary position. For Xuan Zi, who was at the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
At this moment, Xuan Zi continuously probed the entire hall with his mental force, but found nothing.
If not for this being the Sea God Pavilion, Xuan Zi would probably have no choice but to use large-scale attacking Spirit Abilities to force Huo Yuhao to show himself.
As Xuan Zi continuously searched for Huo Yuhao's figure, the aura on Huo Yuhao's body grew heavier. 'Heaven and Earth Aligned' was now fully activated.
Today, he not only wanted to demonstrate his concealment ability but also to test the level of his attacks.
The unique skill of 'momentum' was completed by the combined power of both mental force and spirit power.
Under the amplification of the Battle Armor, Huo Yuhao's spirit power fluctuations had already approached the Spirit Saint level. Huo Yuhao infused all of his spirit power into Heaven and Earth Aligned.
Then, without compromising the stability of Heaven and Earth Aligned, he injected his mental force into it to the maximum extent possible.
Although Xuan Zi still couldn't sense Huo Yuhao's position or attack at this moment, as a Super Douluo whose spirit power level reached 98, his danger perception was frantically warning him.
With the injection of the last trace of mental force, Huo Yuhao unleashed the strongest attack he could currently deliver.
The entire hall was instantly filled with a powerful aura, and some of the elders whose mental force was only at the early Spirit Abyss Realm even broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads.
As for Xuan Zi, who faced this attack directly, after realizing he couldn't dodge, he carelessly released a defensive Spirit Ability, choosing to take the blow head-on.
However, the instant Heaven and Earth Aligned struck Xuan Zi, his mind instantly blurred, and numerous students accusing him appeared before his eyes—the very ones who had died at the hands of a 100,000-year Spirit Beast due to his carelessness.
At this moment, the entire world was silent, with only the students' accusations against him continuously echoing, which intensified Xuan Zi's guilt, preventing him from excusing himself with various pretexts.
As the leading student shouted, "Elder Xuan, do you truly still not believe you have made an irreparable mistake?"
The entire world instantly changed dramatically, and everything seemed to be asking:
"Xuan Zi, having committed such a grave error, what face do you have left to stand here?"
Xuan Zi was trapped by these accusations, deeply immersed and unable to extricate himself.
In the eyes of the other elders, Xuan Zi suddenly froze in place, and then was sent flying by Huo Yuhao's punch.
Even after crashing onto the hall floor, Xuan Zi still looked utterly bewildered.
"Xuan Zi, wake up." With Mu Lao's low groan, Xuan Zi gradually came to his senses.
However, at this moment, he no longer had his usual carefree demeanor; his entire being exuded a sense of lifelessness.
He didn't even bother to pick up the chicken leg he had been clutching, simply sitting back down on a nearby chair in a daze.
"Mu Lao, I have no objection to this child becoming the next Sea Gods Pavilion Master. When that time comes, I will guard him."
Mu En sighed slightly, looking at Xuan Zi, whose emotions seemed off.
"I had intended to use Yuhao's self-created Spirit Ability to help you move past the shadow of the past, but I didn't expect it to make you sink even deeper."
No sooner had Mu En finished speaking than he saw Xuan Zi already in tears.
"Mu Lao, I have never married or had children in my life. My lifelong ambition has been to protect Shrek. How can I accept that I personally cut off the future of Shrek's next generation?"
"Every time I see those students, I think of the children who have passed away. I can no longer teach students."
Listening to Xuan Zi's lament, Mu En sighed, "Enough, Xuan Zi, you should rest for a while."
The elders were about to interject when Huo Yuhao interrupted, saying,
"Seniors, my self-created Spirit Ability will awaken the memory that a person considers their greatest mistake. Elder Xuan's current decision comes from his true heart."
Normally, being interrupted by a junior would cause some dissatisfaction among the many elders, but with Huo Yuhao having punched Xuan Zi flying as a precedent, that dissatisfaction naturally found it difficult to arise.
"Then, do any of you have any objections to Huo Yuhao becoming the next Sea Gods Pavilion Master?"
Mu En asked again. Seeing no one refute him, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Yuhao, hurry and tell the elders about the spirit tool on your body."
After announcing the important matter, Mu En looked at Huo Yuhao, signaling him to begin introducing the Battle Armor.
"Seniors, this set of armor is the first humanoid spirit tool I made. I call it Battle Armor."
"This set of Battle Armor, normally, should be worn by a Spirit King. It can raise one's strength to the Spirit Saint level. Aside from the Spirit Avatar, both offense and defense are equivalent to a Spirit Saint."
Upon hearing this, all the elders present gasped.
Previously, they had been confused by the different spirit power fluctuations Huo Yuhao exhibited before and after, never expecting it was due to a spirit tool.
Qian Duoduo and Xian Liner were overjoyed at the news. With this Battle Armor, the Soul Guidance Department had now completely surpassed the Spirit Department.
Yan Shaozhe, however, had a headache. With the Spirit Department's status declining, how could he be happy?
It was at this moment that Huo Yuhao's subsequent words came, startling all the elders.
"This set of Battle Armor is rated as One-Word Battle Armor in my system, and the highest level of Battle Armor I am currently conceiving can reach Four-Word."
"Among them, Two-Word Battle Armor can elevate a Spirit Emperor's strength to a Spirit Douluo, and a Spirit Douluo's strength to a Titled Douluo. It should be completed relatively soon."
Yan Shaozhe instantly perked up. In the face of such powerful effects, the Spirit Department or Soul Guidance Department no longer mattered.
Once Huo Yuhao created a dozen sets of Two-Word Battle Armor, it would mean Shrek Academy gained a dozen more Titled Douluo.
Yan Shaozhe immediately spoke up, "Yuhao, if you have any resource shortages, just hand them over to us. Our Spirit Department will cover all expenses for you to forge the Battle Armor."
As the head of the Soul Guidance Department, Xian Liner couldn't sit still upon hearing this and began to criticize,
"Yan Shaozhe, you don't need to worry about our Soul Guidance Department's affairs. According to Huo Yuhao, this kind of spirit tool research has nothing to do with you."
"You can't say that. Our Spirit Department is the one that primarily needs Battle Armor to improve our strength. It's not impossible for us to provide some materials."
"You're speaking so grandly. I think you just want Yuhao to forge Battle Armor for your Spirit Department first."
Seeing the two deans about to argue again, Huo Yuhao quickly looked in Mu En's direction.
Mu En tapped the table and said, "Alright, stop arguing, both of you. Yuhao isn't leaving the academy tomorrow. Let's solve the resource issue first."
"From now on, the Spirit Department and the Soul Guidance Department will each cover half of the cost for Yuhao to create Battle Armor. The resources needed for subsequent cultivation will be provided by Shao Zhe, and all spirit rings will be acquired with the academy's help."
