chapter27: Battle with Yan Shaozhe
Yan Shaozhe's face was as grim as a bitter gourd when he heard Xuan Zi's words.
Others might not know the inside story, but how could he not? Xuan Zi was just looking for a scapegoat because Huo Yuhao punched him.
Huo Yuhao, however, looked at Xuan Zi with a hint of surprise.
After some time, this old man's mental force had actually broken through to the Spirit Domain Realm.
It seemed that punch back then, by accident, had actually helped him.
This old man looked much more pleasing to the eye now; although he still seemed unreliable, he no longer had that crazed demeanor.
Under the urging of the many elders, Yan Shaozhe finally gritted his teeth and agreed to the sparring match.
The elders shielded the surroundings, and the sound of their conversation did not spread out. Most of the inner court students, seeing Huo Yuhao and Yan Shaozhe leave, went about their own business.
However, Han Ruoruo and a few others did hear about Huo Yuhao and Yan Shaozhe's sparring match.
This was also intentional on the part of the elders. As the next Sea Gods Pavilion Master, Huo Yuhao naturally needed prestige.
Now was the perfect time to establish his prestige. Han Ruoruo and Zhang Lexuan, as future members of the Sea God Pavilion, could also take this opportunity to understand Huo Yuhao.
After Huo Yuhao and Yan Shaozhe entered the Douluo Arena, the many elders and several elite inner court disciples also took their seats.
"Dean Yan, let's begin then." Huo Yuhao said, and his aura suddenly surged.
This time, his aura was nearly twice as powerful as last time, and Yan Shaozhe's imposing presence instantly diminished.
"Yuhao, my Spirit Abilities are quite powerful, be careful yourself."
Although Yan Shaozhe's spirit power was as high as level 95, Huo Yuhao had sent Xuan Zi flying.
If they truly fought, he might not be able to hold back, but seeing Mu En's figure in the spectator stands, he no longer worried.
This time, Huo Yuhao did not use the Imitation Spirit Ability to accumulate power for a sneak attack but instead prepared to use the Heaven-Earth Equilibrium to clash head-on with Yan Shaozhe.
In the first round of the clash of their auras, Yan Shaozhe immediately fell into a significant disadvantage, his strength instantly dropping by several tenths.
Yan Shaozhe knew he could not wait any longer. With his mental force far inferior to Huo Yuhao's, the longer the clash of auras continued, the greater the disadvantage it would bring him.
With a clear phoenix cry, Yan Shaozhe launched his attack first.
While dodging the attacks, Huo Yuhao fully activated his Two-Word Battle Armor, and the two amplification Spirit Abilities prerecorded by his Spirit Eyes Spirit were activated.
This instantly boosted Huo Yuhao's strength and speed. After activating both Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Spirits, his physical toughness further improved.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao used Imitation to create three clones. After concealing his own figure, the three figures simultaneously attacked Yan Shaozhe.
Unable to distinguish, Yan Shaozhe could only use area-of-effect Spirit Abilities to attack all three Huo Yuhaos simultaneously.
The moment they were hit, the three figures dissipated. Huo Yuhao's figure appeared above Yan Shaozhe, and his right hand, covered in ice crystals, launched an attack, clashing with Yan Shaozhe in close combat.
Huo Yuhao and Yan Shaozhe each retreated a few steps. Huo Yuhao was slightly at a disadvantage. After several more quick close-range clashes, Huo Yuhao gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Huo Yuhao, who had gained insight into a Titled Douluo's physical qualities, simultaneously released the Eternal Ice Domain and Ice Empress's Wrath, two Spirit Bone Abilities, to temporarily stabilize the situation.
At the same time, the moment Yan Shaozhe used spirit power to dissolve them, Huo Yuhao used the concentrated Heaven-Earth Equilibrium to find an opening and land it on Yan Shaozhe.
Because he had not accumulated power, Yan Shaozhe was only slightly disoriented mentally and did not remain stunned on the spot like Xuan Zi.
After repeatedly using mental impact on Yan Shaozhe to further weaken him, Huo Yuhao finally clashed with him again.
As Huo Yuhao's aura continuously strengthened, Yan Shaozhe completely fell into a disadvantage.
It was at this moment that Yan Shaozhe used his Spirit Avatar, instantly reversing the situation with a massive attribute boost.
The moment Yan Shaozhe attacked Huo Yuhao with his Spirit Avatar, Huo Yuhao sensed that it was difficult to dodge and immediately activated the last Spirit Ability replicated by his Mirror Shadow Beast Spirit Bone.
Profound Nether Exchange activated, swapping Yan Shaozhe and Huo Yuhao's positions, so the attack naturally landed on empty space.
Immediately after, Huo Yuhao activated his fourth spirit ring to replicate and use Profound Nether Exchange again, thereby dodging Yan Shaozhe's next continuous attack.
After several exchanges to create distance, Huo Yuhao again used Imitation to create two figures. The three figures stood in three different directions, condensing their aura and attacking Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe, unable to distinguish the true body, could only focus on dodging.
But Huo Yuhao slammed his aura towards himself with a punch and then again used Profound Nether Exchange to swap positions with Yan Shaozhe.
In the process of constant consumption, Yan Shaozhe finally made up his mind, condensing all his spirit power to release his ninth Spirit Ability for a final desperate struggle.
While Yan Shaozhe was accumulating power, Huo Yuhao once again gathered his spirit power and mental force into the Heaven-Earth Equilibrium, gradually concentrating his aura on his right fist.
Huo Yuhao, relying on his powerful mental force, completed his power accumulation first and launched his attack ahead of time.
Yan Shaozhe had no choice but to prematurely end his power accumulation and collide with him.
After their attacks collided, Huo Yuhao, protected by his Battle Armor, was still sent flying a great distance.
Yan Shaozhe, on the other hand, stood motionless on the spot, having entered a mental illusion.
Huo Yuhao roughly judged his own attack: he could barely injure a Titled Douluo, but the injury was negligible.
For a Spirit Douluo like Yan Shaozhe, he could only temporarily control him with a fully charged Heaven-Earth Equilibrium.
Despite this, all the elders were extremely shocked.
In less than a year, Huo Yuhao had improved to the point where he could directly confront a Spirit Douluo.
As Huo Yuhao's spirit power was depleted, the Two-Word Battle Armor also retracted into his body.
"Elders, this is the Two-Word Battle Armor I've recently developed. It elevates a six-ring Spirit Master's strength to around the eight-ring level, grants the ability to fly, and can be integrated into the body."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had truly created the Two-Word Battle Armor, Mu En felt relieved.
The Two-Word Battle Armor alone was enough for Huo Yuhao to inherit the Sea God Pavilion; no one would dare to question it anymore.
However, looking at the still unconscious Yan Shaozhe, Mu En sighed again.
Yan Shaozhe had also been trapped in his mental state for several years without a breakthrough. Mu En had tried to persuade him many times, but it remained ineffective.
Although his mental state had improved significantly under the impact of the Battle Armor, he was still troubled by past events.
In the audience, several elite inner court disciples were quite shocked. To be able to exert the strength of an 80th-level Spirit Master at level 60, such an improvement was simply too immense.
Especially seeing that Huo Yuhao could even integrate it into his body, was this truly still a spirit tool?
While everyone else was in shock, only Zhang Lexuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The heavy burden of Shrek finally no longer rested solely on her.
Looking at Huo Yuhao on the stage, Zhang Lexuan had never felt so relaxed.
"Elder Mu, I estimate that in another three to five months, I'll have to trouble you to make a trip."
Seeing the crowd disperse and leave, Huo Yuhao found Mu En and mentioned the Snow Empress matter in advance.
The God Sealing Platform appeared during the All-Continent Spirit Master Tournament, which was not far off now.
