Soul Land 2: Huo Yuhao, Join Sun and Moon

Chapter 125: Our Sun Moon Empire Needs Talents Like This!

"Hall Master, I think you're right. Yuhao is talented, but he lacks combat experience. Speaking of which, it's been years since I've fought someone myself," said Xuan Ziwen.

Jing Hongchen chuckled. "Then how about I help you improve your combat instincts later? As the Hall Master, it's my duty to strengthen the researchers of Mingde Hall."

Xuan Ziwen's expression changed instantly, and he waved his hands quickly. "No need for that, Hall Master. I'm fine as I am."

Is he really still holding a grudge just because I took Huo Yuhao as my student? Xuan Ziwen thought. How petty can he be? As the Hall Master, he should be more open minded and look at the bigger picture!

However, thinking about how the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire was now his disciple, Xuan Ziwen couldn't help but feel pleased. Perhaps because of this, even Elder Kong seemed to treat him with a bit more warmth. Before Huo Yuhao became his student, Elder Kong had always looked at him with a mix of pity and regret.

After all, if not for being stuck at Soul Douluo rank, Xuan Ziwen might have already been a Rank 9 Soul Engineer.

Di Qiu'er then spoke up. "Alright, let Huo Yuhao fight me."

She looked at Huo Yuhao, her battle intent burning bright. Perhaps due to her lingering soul beast instincts, she still remembered how Huo Yuhao had forcibly linked his attribute with hers the last time they met. If not for Jing Hongchen's suppression, how could she have been caught by Huo Yuhao for the attribute transfer?

Among soul beasts, disputes like this were usually settled with a fight.

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Fine, I'll fight Di Qiu'er."

"Good, then the first phase of the special admission test begins now!" Jing Hongchen declared. With his presence, there was no chance of Huo Yuhao being seriously injured, so he wasn't concerned that Di Qiu'er, who was higher ranked, might hurt him.

Hearing this, Di Qiu'er nodded and released a blinding golden light. She stomped her foot hard, causing the ground to crack like a spiderweb, then used the force to propel herself toward Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao noticed the four soul rings floating around her and thought to himself, Qiu'er isn't very strong yet makes sense.

In the original timeline, Huo Yuhao met her much later, after training at Shrek Academy, completing an exchange program at Sun Moon Academy, and only then encountering her in human form for the first time.

Since soul beasts start from scratch after transforming into humans, they progress quickly able to generate their own soul rings until Soul Sage level. However, they could also absorb soul rings from soul beasts, as seen in the original story when Qiu'er obtained her sixth ring through a hunt.

However, the way the original novel handled Qiu'er's level was inconsistent.

When Yan Shaozhe introduced her, she was a Rank 60 Soul Emperor. But later, during a mission to the Great Star Dou Forest, she was suddenly a Rank 50 Soul King only after getting a soul ring did she become a Soul Emperor again.

It was likely an author's mistake.

Kind of like how Shrek City's leadership kept changing inconsistently first it was said that the city had no mayor, then suddenly a mayor appeared out of nowhere.

"Hmm? She's not even using her martial soul?"

Huo Yuhao's golden eyes gleamed as his Destiny's Eye appeared on his forehead.

Of course, he had no intention of using Destiny's Judgment that skill was meaningless against Qiu'er, who carried the fate of the Star Dou Forest.

After all, in Tang San's words, Qiu'er was the Beast of Destiny. She wasn't at the level of a true god beast yet, but she had the potential to become one.

Huo Yuhao activated his flying soul tool, quickly retreating into the air. Engaging Di Qiu'er in close combat was a bad idea her Golden Dragon martial soul made her immensely powerful.

At the same time, a white defensive soul shield materialized around him.

Seeing this, Di Qiu'er summoned her Golden Dragon Spear.

She didn't intend to kill Huo Yuhao she just wanted to defeat him.

A faint golden dragon projection briefly appeared behind her, accompanied by a resounding dragon's roar that echoed through the arena.

Jing Hongchen, who had been on standby, ready to intervene if necessary, suddenly froze in shock.

"This… my martial soul is being suppressed?"

"So this is the Golden Dragon martial soul?"

"Dragons are among the most powerful soul beasts, and the Golden Dragon is one of the noblest. My martial soul is also a very strong beast type, but in front of the Golden Dragon, I'm experiencing direct bloodline suppression.

"If my martial soul was dragon type, the suppression would be even worse."

Xuan Ziwen was also stunned. "Hall Master, but… you're a Titled Douluo!"

Jing Hongchen shook his head. "And so what? If her rank were equal to mine, she could probably defeat several of me.

"Our Sun Moon Empire needs talents like this!"

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao had already begun unleashing a rapid series of soul skills.

His Spiritual Detection Sharing allowed him to analyze even the tiniest details, so he quickly spotted flaws in Qiu'er's movements.

He followed up with Spiritual Shock, Mental Interference, and Spirit Burn directly targeting Di Qiu'er's mind.

For a brief moment, her body stiffened, and a flicker of surprise appeared in her eyes.

Though she had absorbed some of Huo Yuhao's memories, they were too fragmented, so she didn't fully understand him yet.

"Mental type soul skills?"

"An exceptional mental attack… Even among the Star Dou Forest's spirit type beasts, this technique would be considered unparalleled."

Despite her surprise, Huo Yuhao's mental attacks weren't enough to take her down.

After all, she was the Emperor Auspicious Beast. Even though her human body wasn't as strong as her beast form, her immense mental energy was still sealed inside her.

Di Qiu'er hurled her Golden Dragon Spear toward Huo Yuhao.

The golden spear howled through the air, aiming to shatter his defensive barrier.

Moreover, due to the spear's built in teleportation ability, she intended to use it to close the distance instantly, forcing a close quarters battle a major advantage for her as a power type Soul Master.

Huo Yuhao saw through her plan immediately this was the advantage of information disparity.

So, he activated his second martial soul the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion.

With his extraordinary mental strength, he could simultaneously use two martial souls.

Ironically, in the original story, Wang Dong couldn't perform this so called "high level technique" at first.

But why not?

She was Tang San's daughter, born in the Divine Realm, and even after descending to the mortal world, she would have never lacked resources.

Given that, shouldn't she have been able to develop her spiritual power enough to use two martial souls at once?

Or did Tang Buddha deliberately weaken his own daughter?

"Wait… maybe this was another test."

"As Tang Buddha always says no pain, no gain."

A moment later, Snow Empress' spirit materialized on Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
