Chapter 74

The moment he saw Huo Yuhao, three soul rings appeared around the simulated Huo Yuhao, his hands covered in a layer of diamond-like ice crystals emitting a bone-piercing chill.

Ice Empress's Pincer!

The next moment, the simulated Huo Yuhao stomped his foot and instantly rushed forward, his palm reaching toward Huo Yuhao.

But the chill of Ultimate Ice did not cause Huo Yuhao any effect, not even able to stall his movements.

Huo Yuhao raised his palm, soul power wrapped in Ultimate Ice, casually receiving the Ice Empress's Pincer.

After the Limit ten thousand years ago, the number of times he made a move was not many, but he still fought in public, the Spirit Pagoda should have relied on those records to restore and strengthen the Virtual Ling Bing Douluo.

However, no matter how much it was strengthened, with the Spirit Pagoda's current computing power it is also impossible to fully replicate the data and combat experience of a Limit Douluo; the self before his eyes could not possibly reach the peak.

Let alone... the gaps in other aspects.

Golden light shone in Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eyes, possessing a quality of insight into all things; meeting those eyes, one's mind would involuntarily sink deep within, as if falling into an endless abyss.

Like an abyss and prison, azure sky and yellow springs.

Spirit Abyss Realm!

An intangible Spiritual Storm suddenly struck; the simulated Huo Yuhao was completely defenseless, instantly bleeding from mouth and nose, his essence, energy, and spirit plummeting to rock bottom in an instant.

The simulated Huo Yuhao's eyes turned solemn; a key-shaped soul tool quietly fell into his palm, a sense of compression from space silently spreading all around, the air distorting.

This power... is a six-level soul tool, and a spatial-type soul tool at that.

Huo Yuhao's eyelid twitched violently; he raised his palm, spiritual power and soul power instantly fusing, relying on his own past comprehension of spatial power, forcibly bypassing the soul tool's obstruction.

Floating World Frost!

After the artistic conception strong control, a piercing golden light came into view. Under the envelopment of this light, the virtual Huo Yuhao was instantly bisected at the waist, turning into countless radiant fragments, dissipating into nothingness.

Huo Yuhao certainly would not give him the chance to use various soul tools; who knows to what extent the self that eventually reached a ten-level soul master was strengthened in this aspect.

Just that one a moment ago, ordinary soul masters couldn't handle it at all, they would be toyed with in the palm of the hand by spatial power.

Just Huo Yuhao watching the opponent dissipate, his mood was still somewhat complex.

Killing oneself... sure feels weird.

"Defeated opponent, assessment passed."

"..."

In the outside world, Luo Yulu watched Huo Yuhao easily defeat the First Generation Tower Master through the soul guidance screen, his expression somewhat stiff.

Had I known earlier I wouldn't have let Yuhao go in; this makes things a bit awkward for him.

That was the First Generation Tower Master; leave a little face, will you? There are outsiders here!

But Luo Yulu quickly reacted; the spiritual power Huo Yuhao displayed just now didn't seem quite right.

The First Generation Tower Master's spiritual power was designed as Spirit Sea Realm, able to use a mental attack to directly knock the opponent to the second phase; could it be...

Luo Yulu swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

At this time, a flash of light, and Huo Yuhao emerged from the virtual battlefield, his figure landing lightly.

Not far away, Wu Zhangkong's gaze locked tightly onto him; in those usually icy dark-green eyes, there was an obvious look of shock.

"Your spiritual power is... Spirit Abyss Realm?"

Huo Yuhao nodded lightly, "Yesterday I conceded, Teacher Wu."

Hearing this, Wu Zhangkong's mood was incomparably complex.

Reaching Spirit Abyss Realm at nine years old; if he had heard this before today, he would only have treated it as someone else's delusion.

Not just in Shrek Academy, even looking at the entire history of the Soul Master World, there has never been such a precedent.

This has far surpassed the category of "genius"!

As time passes, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power cultivation will only grow higher; before becoming a Titled Douluo he will probably break through to Spiritual Domain Realm, stepping onto the path of God Yuan Realm.

And God Yuan Realm... only Erqing Douluo in Shrek Academy possesses such a spiritual realm!

Thinking of this, Wu Zhangkong inexplicably felt a sense of relief; the awkwardness of yesterday's defeat dissipated quite a bit.

Luo Yulu, after Huo Yuhao nodded in confirmation, withdrew his gaze with a complex expression, and continued watching others' battles.

The time to break through Spirit Abyss Realm is even earlier than they predicted; the future era... belongs to Yuhao, right?

Huo Yuhao's gaze swept across the field, discovering the others had not yet emerged, so he also came to the screen's side to watch.

A flash of light passed, and Tang Wulin stumbled out of the virtual battlefield, looking rather bedraggled.

Xie Xie, not far away, saw him and walked to his side, steadying his shoulder, "No problem?"

"No problem."

Tang Wulin shook his head, steadied himself, and looked toward the few people not far away, discovering that besides Gu Yue Na, all the other classmates had come out; the atmosphere was somewhat low.

Xie Xie noticed this, glanced toward Huo Yuhao's direction, "Big Brother Yuhao already won; I and the others all fell at the Purple Grade second stage. My opponent was a female with an Angel Martial Soul; Wulin, how about you?"

They fell at Purple Grade, Huo Yuhao already passed Red Grade... the gap is really big, but that's a freak, can't compare, no need to compare.

"I fell at the Purple Grade final stage."

Tang Wulin nodded, sighing.

"My opponent was a senior wielding a sword; his sword techniques were too sharp, I was beaten with absolutely no power to fight back."

"I'm even more miserable than you; not only could I not match his speed, the opponent could also fly, and both attack and close-combat ability far surpassed me; my Twin Dragon Daggers simply couldn't take effect on her at all, I was just beaten until I couldn't take care of myself."

Xie Xie said with a dark face: "The assessment is too hard; I feel those people are all past powerhouses of the Spirit Pagoda, peerless geniuses."

"Then you're mistaken." Luo Yulu walked up to them, hearing Xie Xie's words, laughed:

"The opponents I set for you are the Spirit Pagoda's First Generation Members; Xie Xie encountered Tower Master Ye Gu Yi, a generation's genius, but the Tower Master Ji Juechen Wulin encountered is not a genius; his innate soul power was only level three!"

"Innate soul power... only level three?"

Tang Wulin looked at Luo Yulu in surprise, "Is this true?"

Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan and the others at the side also looked over, equally curious.

"It's true. When the First Generation Tower Master was still around, the Spirit Pagoda's three Vice Tower Masters were respectively Frost Douluo Su Tong, Angel Douluo — Ye Gu Yi, and Sword Maniac Douluo — Ji Juechen."

Luo Yulu said: "Tower Master Ji Juechen's innate soul power was only Rank Three; his talent among Soul Masters was undoubtedly very weak, yet he ultimately became a Ninety-Seventh Rank Super Douluo."

"Even the First Generation Tower Master — the Ling Bing Ancestor — once personally said that, were it not for countless opportunities, he was far inferior to Tower Master Ji Juechen!"

Ling Bing Douluo is a Limit Douluo, the Founder of the Spirit Pagoda, yet he actually said he was inferior to someone else?

Everyone was secretly startled.

A light flashed, and Gu Yue Na had just come out of the Virtual Battlefield, happening to hear Luo Yulu's last sentence; she couldn't help but look at Huo Yuhao and transmit her voice: "Yuhao, could it be that you're being too humble?"

"Yuhao, could it be that you're being too humble?"

An ordinary person, how could he possibly be stronger than a reincarnated God King?

"Inferior is inferior."

Huo Yuhao laughed and said: "This isn't modesty; this is fact."

Gu Yue Na was stunned for a moment; looking at Huo Yuhao's expression, she still lightly nodded her head.

Since Yuhao put it that way, there must be his reasoning.

On the other side, Luo Yulu looked at Tang Wulin, patted his shoulder, and laughed: "So, Wu Lin, you don't need to mind the innate soul power issue, and don't feel pressure; someone has succeeded, haven't they?"

"So, Wu Lin, you don't need to mind the innate soul power issue, and don't feel pressure; someone has succeeded, haven't they?"

"Mm!"

Tang Wulin nodded his head forcefully, a trace of aspiration flashing in his eyes.

His innate soul power was also Rank Three!

And his conditions were obviously better than that Tower Master Ji's; from now on, Tower Master Ji was the target he wanted to chase and catch up to!

Seeing Tang Wulin's fighting spirit ignite, Luo Yulu glanced at the other students around and discovered that each and every one was like they'd been injected with chicken blood, rapidly walking out of the negative emotions of failure; he couldn't help but nod secretly.

Nothing can motivate people more than facts!

Tower Master Ji is the object of admiration for many of the Spirit Pagoda's younger generation; innate Rank Three soul power, becoming a Super Douluo — is there anything more inspiring than this?

Your innate aptitudes are already dozens of times better than Tower Master Ji's; why be discouraged over minor setbacks?
