Chapter 86: Sword Aura
While Huo Yuhao was researching his new Cultivation Technique with great intensity, the Sun Moon Empire's royal family was on the verge of losing their minds.
Huo Yuhao had not appeared for nearly three days, and the spies in Shrek City and Shrek Academy had no information at all.
Officials at all levels throughout the Sun Moon Empire began to scramble, primarily because the old emperor had not slept well for three days.
Many officials were afraid he wouldn't hold up and would drop dead, so they each sent their subordinates to search everywhere. Even the Crown Prince, Crown Prince Xu Tianran, was incredibly panicked. He suddenly thought of a possibility: could Huo Yuhao have gone to the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters?
If Huo Yuhao were to clash head-on with the Holy Spirit Cult during this period, it would be a huge problem.
Not to mention whether the two Limit Douluo could defeat Huo Yuhao, the recognized number one in combat power, the mere appearance of two Limit Douluo among the Evil Soul Masters was already a major trouble.
The old emperor was not dead yet; if his connection with the Holy Spirit Cult were discovered, the throne would be completely out of his reach.
Huo Yuhao knew nothing of this and was currently watching the awakened Ji Juechen with some curiosity.
Brother Ji, how much have you improved after this deep meditation? Do you want to try sensing my Aura?
Hearing Huo Yuhao's invitation, Ji Juechen was very tempted and immediately agreed to have a small spar with him.
On the other side, Jing Ziyan hurriedly interrupted their conversation.
Ji Juechen, did you agree to join Pavilion Master Huo's faction? How about I reluctantly join as well to keep you company?
Huo Yuhao, standing to the side, felt his eye twitch upon hearing this. Why did she sound so reluctant? It was no wonder Jing Ziyan's romantic progress was so slow.
That would certainly be for the best. As my good friend, I really hope you can join.
Fine, fine, fine. You two are truly something else; you're both blockheads, aren't you?
Pavilion Master Huo, let's start the spar. I've long wanted to experience the Aura you possess.
First, get off the Spirit Ascension Platform. You've been cultivating for three days, are you addicted to sitting there? If you enter deep meditation again after our spar, what will I use to perform Spirit Ascension for Jing Ziyan?
Ji Juechen hurriedly jumped off the Spirit Ascension Platform and stood to the side, waiting for Huo Yuhao to prepare for the battle.
Also, call me Pagoda Master from now on. You haven't joined the Sea God Pavilion, so what kind of Pavilion Master are you calling me? From today on, you are the second Deputy Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda.
Ji Juechen, in the corner, nodded silently. Pagoda Master.
Huo Yuhao looked at Ji Juechen in silence. This team was not easy to lead; it felt like none of these people were normal.
Their individual specialties were quite good, but they had absolutely no emotional intelligence. Huo Yuhao felt like he was talking to a bunch of robots.
One was focused solely on spirit tools, one was focused solely on sparring and getting stronger, and another was focused solely on that blockhead who was obsessed with sparring and getting stronger.
Huo Yuhao didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to negotiate with major factions in the future. With three blockheads sitting there, the meeting would end up like an AI conversation.
If Ning Tian knew what Huo Yuhao was thinking, she would laugh out loud. It was as if you, Huo Yuhao, were some eloquent person; you weren't exactly normal yourself.
Alright, let's spar first. Once I'm done with you, I can go perform Spirit Ascension for your friend sooner.
Good.
As soon as Ji Juechen finished speaking, he slashed his sword towards Huo Yuhao.
A sharp sword gleam slashed forward, its sharpness almost blinding.
Even though she was far away, Jing Ziyan still felt a stinging sensation on her skin, as if it had been grazed by a thin sheet of paper.
A yellow long blade collided with the sword gleam. Huo Yuhao did not use his Divine Rank mecha; he only used an ordinary Level 8 spirit tool blade.
The two Auras collided, though not as intensely as the collision between Huo Yuhao and Mu En.
After all, Ji Juechen's current Aura was just average; his mental force, which barely reached the Spirit Abyss Realm, was not yet at the level where it could change the weather.
Huo Yuhao only slightly increased the pressure on Ji Juechen, and his Sword Intent began to show signs of weakness.
Ji Juechen used the blade forged from extraterrestrial meteorite iron to attack Huo Yuhao frequently. His technique was very exquisite, and his positioning for every movement was also very clever.
However, Huo Yuhao frowned. This Sword Intent didn't feel right. It wasn't that the Aura wasn't strong, but rather that it was skewed.
What was said in his previous life—that a sword must press forward without hesitation—was not without reason. Or rather, for any kind of Aura to transform into a Law, it was best to be like that.
Ji Juechen, you are too focused on the function of the Aura itself. An Aura is not meant to suppress opponents; it is a true reflection of your heart.
Your sword relies too much on technique. No matter how much you comprehend, it's only an understanding of sword arts. You must establish a truly sharp Sword Intent; regardless of success or failure, the sword must not retreat.
Ji Juechen was no mediocrity. After feeling the fearless Aura within Aligning with Heaven and Earth, Ji Juechen followed Huo Yuhao's guidance, and his Aura and battle tactics gradually began to change.
Ji Juechen's sword became increasingly reckless. It appeared full of openings, but the sword, imbued with the belief of being fearless, became increasingly powerful. His footwork was no longer nimble, having a somewhat direct and straightforward feel.
Huo Yuhao stepped back slightly, guiding Ji Juechen to comprehend a true offensive Sword Intent.
The ultimate form of the sword is to trade injury for injury, leaving no path for retreat. The Sword Douluo of the past was the same; only by having no fear in one's heart and fighting a desperate battle could one truly advance.
Huo Yuhao continued to step back, and the Sword Intent on Ji Juechen grew stronger. When it accumulated to a certain peak, Huo Yuhao guided him to slash towards the sky.
Brother Ji, your Aura needs to be even greater. Even if it's this Heaven and Earth, or the gods, you must strike with your sword. Once it's out, do not retreat.
It seemed that this last sentence from Huo Yuhao opened his mind. Ji Juechen slashed his sword towards Heaven and Earth without reservation.
However, this strike was even more extreme than Huo Yuhao had imagined; it went straight for the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
Huo Yuhao hurriedly used Aligning with Heaven and Earth to stabilize the momentum of Heaven and Earth, isolating this sword strike from the World's restrictions.
Watching the thunderclouds slowly dissipate in the sky, Huo Yuhao quietly breathed a sigh of relief. So the Douluo Plane could strike people too? Wasn't it only supposed to strike Soul Beasts?
Oh, right, with that strike of Ji Juechen's, all restrictions were gone. He had put on a big show, but this Sword Intent was a bit extreme.
Challenging the limits of becoming a god with Ji Juechen's current Soul Power? That was a joke, right? If he swung that sword, he would be dead for sure.
Pagoda Master, my Heaven-Slaying Sword Intent has been formed. I need to enter deep meditation for a while longer. Sorry for the trouble, Pagoda Master.
Huo Yuhao looked at Ji Juechen, who had entered deep meditation again, in a daze. Very well, it seems you also have quite a lot of Luck.
Good news: Ji Juechen had comprehended an Aura that could truly be converted into a Law; it was close enough to a sword strike that could slay gods.
Bad news: it was similar to his own; it couldn't be used normally. It would just be a decoration before reaching the Limit, and using it would just invite a lightning strike.
Besides, wasn't two consecutive deep meditations a bit excessive?
