Chapter 324

The first contestant sent out by the Snow Demon Sect was a tall and thin youth.

He looked at Huo Yutong with bright eyes and said:

"I've heard of you."

"Oh?"

Huo Yutong didn't expect the other party to suddenly say that to her, and she was somewhat surprised.

"Where did you hear about me?"

The youth said with a serious expression: "Before, the sect leader once took people to Shilake Academy to contend for you, and my father went along as well."

"I see." Huo Yutong nodded in sudden realization and asked, "So, what do you want to say?"

The youth confidently said: "I will tell you, not following the sect leader to join the Body Sect was a mistaken choice; only the Body Sect is best at cultivating martial soul masters with body martial souls. Remember, my name is Chen Lü."

"Hehe."

Facing Chen Lü's words, Huo Yutong merely gave a light smile, neither affirming nor refuting.

Is what Chen Lü said wrong? Actually, it's not wrong.

The Body Sect is indeed the most suitable place for body martial soul masters to develop.

But did Huo Yutong really lose out by not going to the Body Sect? She doesn't think so at all.

If she had gone to the Body Sect, she would probably have missed out on many things.

Seeing that neither had the intention to continue talking, the referee said: "Both sides step back, watch my signal to start the match."

Huo Yutong, while slowly retreating as instructed by the referee, also used mental detection to scan Chen Lü.

For martial soul masters with body martial souls, usually some part of their body will be noticeably different from ordinary people due to the martial soul.

Take Huo Yutong as an example; her eyes are noticeably more beautiful than those of ordinary people.

And this Chen Lü, after being scanned by Huo Yutong's mental detection, had his martial soul instantly seen through.

Under mental detection, it's clearly visible that Chen Lü's calf is much thicker than that of an ordinary person, even comparable to his thigh; apparently that is his martial soul.

Leg as martial soul… an assault system? Huo Yutong's eyes flashed, and she had already made up her mind.

At this moment, she didn't notice that a pair of eyes on the presidential platform were fixedly staring at her.

Looking at Huo Yutong who had just shown a smile, Juzi only felt her eyes turning a bit red.

She couldn't forget Huo Yutong's hollow, empty gaze when leaving the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy; that state, almost like losing one's soul, began after the news of Tang Wulin's disappearance and continued until Huo Yutong left the academy, tormenting Juzi for a full three months.

It was precisely those three months that made Juzi fully realize she could not defeat Tang Wulin, and after Huo Yutong left she chose to officially join the army.

But now, seeing Huo Yutong, Juzi discovered that the desperate expression had vanished from her face, replaced once again by a calm and light expression, making her feel both nostalgic and moved.

And Juzi also knows the reason for Huo Yutong's such change.

In just these two days, Tang Wulin has become a celebrity in Mingdu relying on his overbearing strength and outstanding looks; Juzi, even without deliberately inquiring, was nevertheless forced to know of his existence.

In that light, Tang Wulin's disappearance back then was merely a disappearance, not really death.

When she learned this news, Juzi's heart was actually a mix of five flavors.

She also didn't know whether she actually hoped or not hoped for Tang Wulin's death.

If Tang Wulin is alive, she basically has no chance to defeat him.

But if this guy dies, Huo Yutong would have to revert to her previous state.

Juzi's eyes showed some struggle. Just then, Xu Tianran suddenly spoke to her.

"Juzi, who do you think will win between the two sides?"

Juzi's expression tightened, and she shook her head.

"Your Highness, I don't know."

Xu Tianran gave a light smile.

"Oh? Is that so, but I remember she and you were from the same sect at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy."

Juzi's heart jumped, but she didn't show it, instead continuing seriously: "When we were classmates, our relationship wasn't good; that time I asked you to act was merely to help you clear obstacles, and I wasn't overly anxious about her."

"Oh."

Xu Tianran responded indifferently and said nothing more.

Only then did Juzi relax in her heart.

Every day spent beside Xu Tianran made her feel extremely tense.

On the arena, Huo Yutong and Chen Lü had both retreated to the edge of the platform; as the referee lowered his raised hand, the match's horn blew officially.

Only seen, Chen Lü kicked off the ground, covering tens of meters in an instant, and rapidly approached Huo Yutong.

Long-range attack is not his forte, so he chose to close the distance immediately.

In contrast to Chen Lü's lightning speed, Huo Yutong's movements were not fast at all, even appearing somewhat slow and leisurely.

Only seen, she walked forward with a calm expression, one step, two steps, her pace very leisurely; one might even think she was out for a stroll.

However, as she moved, an apparition also appeared on the platform.

First to change was Huo Yutong herself; her hair turned snow-white, her eyes became ice-blue, and her red Shilake Academy uniform was coated with a layer of white frost.

As this layer of white frost appeared, solid ice began to spread rapidly from beneath her feet, and the air also seemed somewhat unreal.

And most striking, without doubt, was her extremely outrageous soul ring configuration.

Red red red red blue; this soul ring color, beyond anyone's imagination, instantly sparked a huge discussion among the spectators.

The vast majority of spectators had never personally watched that match five years ago, so they naturally didn't know that Huo Yutong's soul rings revealed five years ago were not much different from now; back then she displayed a full six red rings.

And as her old rival, the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy had varied expressions.

They naturally didn't believe Huo Yutong's displayed soul ring combination, after all five years ago she showed six soul rings, now it's five, obviously fake at a glance.

The problem is, Huo Yutong is merely releasing a martial soul, yet the commotion is too great, right?

Solid ice spread from beneath Huo Yutong's feet, and in the blink of an eye it had frozen a ten-meter radius.

Her current performance is already not much inferior to the first two soul skills of some Soul Kings.

Seeing this scene, Chen Lu couldn't help but feel somewhat startled, but he was ultimately an elite of the True Body Sect, with strong combat awareness; he quickly steadied his mind and continued charging toward Huo Yutong.

No matter what, he at least wanted to test Huo Yutong's depth for his teammates.

But as the distance between him and Huo Yutong grew closer, Chen Lu's expression became increasingly grim.

Because he discovered that, as the distance between them closed, the temperature in the air began to drop at an extraordinarily exaggerated speed as the distance between them decreased.

And when he arrived in front of Huo Yutong, his body surface was already covered with a layer of white frost.
