Chapter 68: Luoyang Road: Give Teacher Wu Some Face

A group arrived at the Training Ground, and Wu Zhangkong looked at everyone.

"Among you, except for Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na, the other five clearly lack practical combat experience and skill."

"What I mean by lacking is not your combat experience in using martial souls and soul skills; although there are shortcomings in that area, they are not serious. What you truly lack is basic combat ability without relying on your martial souls."

"As for Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na... yesterday's battle could not show your combat caliber. Now, fight me, and let me see your abilities with my own eyes!"

As he spoke, Wu Zhangkong turned and walked toward the center of the Training Ground.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat strange, but they still came to stand opposite Wu Zhangkong.

"I will suppress my soul power to the same level as Huo Yuhao..." Wu Zhangkong was speaking when a transmission suddenly came from beside his ear.

"Cough, it's better to keep your cultivation a bit higher, Teacher Wu Zhangkong."

It was a reminder from Luoyang Lu.

Wu Zhangkong glanced at Luoyang Lu, who was secretly following, and ignored him.

No matter how much he suppressed it, his Spiritual Power was ultimately at the Spirit Sea Realm; facing him, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Attribute martial soul was naturally at a disadvantage. If the other party were rational, they wouldn't use Spiritual Power attacks against him. In that case, Gu Yue Na, at twenty-eight levels, would be the main attacker.

In such a scenario, he was still suppressing his soul power to forty levels—wasn't that bullying people?

He was a teacher, not a competition opponent or enemy of these two children.

He hadn't given up using his martial soul only because yesterday's display of the two fighting with overwhelming force had made him cautious.

Seeing Wu Zhangkong wouldn't listen, Luoyang Lu fell silent for a moment, then sent a transmission to Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na: "Go easy, give Teacher Wu some face."

He had already foreseen the awkward scene to come.

But this wasn't his fault; he couldn't very well say that even his Tower Master couldn't teach Huo Yuhao, could he? Who would believe that?

Just as Luoyang Lu finished reminding them, the three's martial souls and soul rings appeared simultaneously.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black—six soul rings appeared around Wu Zhangkong, but he had said he would suppress his cultivation to thirty levels, so naturally he would only use the first three soul skills.

"Come!" Wu Zhangkong held his martial soul, the Heavenly Frost Sword, in his right hand, and said lightly.

Gu Yue Na struck first, waving both hands, sending wind blades, fireballs, ice cones, and earth spikes all shooting toward Wu Zhangkong.

Wu Zhangkong stood in place, gripping the Heavenly Frost Sword with his right hand and lightly pinching the sword tip with his left. Facing Gu Yue Na's fierce assault, he remained motionless. There was not a trace of emotional fluctuation on his face, as if nothing in this world could touch his heart or affect his state of mind.

Watching this scene, Tianmeng Ice Worm in the Spiritual Sea inexplicably remembered his own past experiences and glanced at the Ice Empress.

Showing off... will make you fly!

But to oppose the reborn God and Limit Douluo by one person's strength, I recognize you, Wu Zhangkong!

As the attacks were about to strike, the Heavenly Frost Sword in Wu Zhangkong's hand sprang up, and a circle of pale blue light halo was about to expand, but at the same time his mind felt a strong Spiritual Blast!

Crack!

The defense about to form vanished in an instant. Seeing the many elemental attacks coming, Wu Zhangkong felt a sharp pain in his mind, his thoughts stalled, and he was smeared in the face by various elemental attacks. Only the next moment did he dodge in a sorry state, looking at Huo Yuhao, his eyes flickering, his expression stiff.

"His Spiritual Power is... above the Spirit Sea Realm?"

His own Spiritual Power was at the Spirit Sea Realm; being able to affect him without backlash—what level had Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power reached?

At least the Spirit Sea Realm!

Above the Spirit Sea Realm at nine years old... even with a Spiritual Attribute martial soul, that's simply too terrifying!

What Wu Zhangkong hadn't expected was that Gu Yue Na's actions surprised him again.

While Huo Yuhao attacked, ice and wind elements began endlessly gathering around Gu Yue Na, and an ice storm comparable to a Four-ring Soul Master's attack was gradually forming, flying toward him.

"Elemental Heart? Or Elemental Hearts of two elements?"

Wu Zhangkong hurriedly dodged, not daring to take it head-on. His originally cold expression turned somewhat ugly, with only one thought in his heart.

What breed of freaks are these two? How is he supposed to fight them?

Seeing Huo Yuhao charging over, Wu Zhangkong's expression sank. Sharp sword threads shot out from the Heavenly Frost Sword, and at the same time, a mass of cold frost mist surged from his body, rapidly spreading outward.

Huo Yuhao raised his palm, and a golden radiance burst forth from his palm—this was what happened when the soul power and Spiritual Power of the Spirit Eye martial soul fused.

Huo Yuhao turned his palm into a palm blade, meeting each move with a counter, dissolving those ice threads. He and Wu Zhangkong exchanged dozens of moves within seconds, their movements becoming afterimages as they collided rapidly.

Huo Yuhao had seen and fought swordsmanship better than the current Wu Zhangkong's.

But in Wu Zhangkong's view, the half-inch around Huo Yuhao was like an absolute defense; his attacks could never get through. Instead, he himself kept failing.

In terms of skill... Huo Yuhao was above him?

Wu Zhangkong's eyes showed some astonishment.

Moreover, at this age, the other party had actually completed the fusion of soul power and Spiritual Power, completing his own self-created absolute art?

This... how could it be?

The next moment, Huo Yuhao struck out with a palm, obliterating a large area of sword threads while doing so, changed his palm into a fist, and collided with Wu Zhangkong's raised Heavenly Frost Sword.

Bang!

An explosion sounded in the air. Wu Zhangkong's mind went blank for a moment, and he staggered backward. By the time he sensed a certain aura, it was already too late.

Gu Yue Na, who had not moved since the initial feint, appeared soundlessly behind him. Her palm wrapped in ice, fire, and spatial elemental power, she struck a palm print on his back.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao's palm wrapped in power mixed with Spiritual Power and soul power likewise threw a punch forward.

Of course, just like with the Spiritual Blast, Huo Yuhao didn't use his full strength.

Give Teacher Wu some face... well, maybe he couldn't.

Boom!!!

The elemental storm and special artistic conception exploded nearby. Wu Zhangkong was affected by the artistic conception and couldn't use a soul skill to defend. A suit of armor faintly appeared, automatically protecting his body. Immediately after, powerful soul power suddenly burst from his body, spreading out instantly.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na seemed to have expected this; their figures drifted, unaffected by Wu Zhangkong's soul power in any way.

At that moment, Wu Zhangkong felt that the one guiding and suppressing strength was not himself, but them.

He even had a subtle feeling that the two across from him had been holding back!

At the edge of the Training Ground, Xu Xiaoyan, who had thought she could see an evenly matched fight, blinked, looking bewildered.

Ah, what happened?

This Soul Emperor teacher just... lost? How long has it been?

Xie Xie clicked his tongue and retorted to Tang Wu Lin, who was equally shocked off to the side: "How many more times are they going to shock us?"

Tang Wu Lin nodded blankly.

Although it had to do with Teacher Wu suppressing his strength, a win was a win, indisputable.

Two peers had easily defeated a strength-suppressed Soul Emperor, and perhaps even one of them could do it alone; Tang Wu Lin felt he might be witnessing history.

Wu Zhangkong took a deep breath, looking at the calm-faced Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na, then glancing at the five oddly-faced people off to the side, and said coldly:

"Come over here. I'm raising myself to four... five rings, and all seven of you will fight me together!"

Xie Xie and the others exchanged glances, but still came over as Wu Zhangkong said.

"Classmate Yuhao, please give me your guidance."

Xu Xiaoyan ran to Huo Yuhao's side, smiling charmingly.

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, looking at Zhang Yangzi, "Shall I take the main control?"

"Of course." Zhang Yangzi nodded.

He hadn't forgotten that Huo Yuhao was a control-type Soul Master.

Just as the two finished speaking, all six on Huo Yuhao's side received Spiritual Detection Sharing.

Under their gaze, time seemed to slow, everything around became exceptionally clear, and wherever their eyes looked, vast amounts of information surged into their minds in an instant, with every detail of Wu Zhangkong's movements becoming clearly visible.

Not only that, centered on them, the scenery within a hundred meters in all directions appeared three-dimensionally in their minds without needing to look with their eyes; any tiny change would be immediately perceived and reflected in their brains.

"......"

A trace of shock flashed in the eyes of the five experiencing this soul skill for the first time.

What kind of divine skill is this?

With this, plus Yuhao's command and Gu Yue Na being there, they seemed like they might actually be able to fight Teacher Wu?

Amid Wu Zhangkong's furrowed expression, the five opposite revealed ill-intentioned smiles.

After the battle ended, Wu Zhangkong's whole body emitted a chill as he walked all the way to Luoyang Road, expressionless.

"Huo Yuhao, I can't teach him; he's perfect, perfect in every sense!"

Luoyang Road: "......"

I advised you before, don't go; that one is a freak.

You're socially dead now, right?
