Chapter 325: The Mighty Huo Yutong (Part 2)

Chen Lü gritted his teeth, lifted his spirits, leapt up on the spot, his third soul ring lit up, and he kicked straight at Huo Yutong.

In response, Huo Yutong didn't even frown, she raised her palm and placed it directly in the path of Chen Lü's foot.

Courting death!

Chen Lü felt a surge of wild joy.

He could feel that Huo Yutong's small hand, as white as jade, had no soul power at that moment, meaning she wasn't applying any soul skill to her palm.

With his strength, if she took that kick head-on she would surely suffer, and no matter how strong she was, it would affect her afterward.

This thought of his vanished the instant his leg struck Huo Yutong's small hand.

He only felt that he had struck not a girl's hand but a lump of iron, completely immovable.

After absorbing the Water Dragon King's power, Huo Yutong's physical quality had greatly improved; although she couldn't compare to that monster Tang Wulin, she was still enough to overwhelm others of the same rank.

At this moment, with him using the Profound Jade Hand for assistance, Chen Lü's attack as a Soul King could not affect her in the slightest.

Only see thick frost spreading from the part of Chen Lü's leg that Huo Yutong grabbed, covering his whole body in the blink of an eye; then with a crack, the frost thickened, and he was frozen into a block of ice.

Huo Yutong threw him to the ground and looked toward the Snow Devil Sect.

"Next."

Her expression was utterly calm, as if she had just done something completely ordinary.

But to the crowd, it wasn't so; in their eyes, what Huo Yutong had just done could only be described as perverse.

Although Chen Lü didn't even get a chance to show more of his abilities before being eliminated by Huo Yutong, his speed was also seen by everyone; among agility-attack Soul Kings he absolutely ranked among the best, and even compared to some Soul Emperors he wasn't far behind.

Everyone originally thought he could last a few more moves against Huo Yutong and put on a good match, but they didn't expect that after his attack was blocked he would lose in the blink of an eye.

The visual impact of this scene was so strong that many people forgot to breathe at that moment.

Obviously, Huo Yutong is currently the strongest in this tournament; even Tang Wulin, who has been all the rage these past two days, fares far worse in performance compared to her.

Outside the arena, Xiao Hongchen looked grimly at Meng Hongchen.

"Meng, what do you think?"

Meng Hongchen's expression wasn't any better either.

"She's become stronger than when we returned to the Academy."

Xiao Hongchen nodded heavily, his breathing a little disordered.

As two of Huo Yutong's defeated subordinates, they still had some say regarding her strength.

At least a few months ago, although Huo Yutong could also quickly kill Chen Lü, she absolutely could not have won so easily.

Their feeling was correct; if it were the Huo Yutong of a few months ago, defeating Chen Lü would have taken at least two or three rounds, not an instant kill upon meeting.

The reason for such a great increase is that Huo Yutong's soul power has now been elevated to divine power.

Although the divine aura is very faint, this is still genuine divine power, and its enhancement to her is immeasurable.

Not to mention a Soul King, even an ordinary Soul Emperor would find it hard to last three rounds against her.

After the Snow Devil Sect members conferred, they quickly sent another youth onto the stage.

This youth looked refined and courteously smiled at Huo Yutong.

"Hello, my name is Gu Tong." Huo Yutong had not dismissed her Ice Snow Girl Martial Soul at this moment; her demeanor was extremely cold, and she coolly replied, "Huo Yutong."

Gu Tong curiously asked, "I heard your martial soul is your eyes?"

Huo Yutong raised her eyebrows.

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"

Gu Tong smiled.

"You'll find out right away."

What he said was indeed correct; at the moment the match began, Huo Yutong understood the meaning of his words.

Only see a brilliant light emanating from Gu Tong's eyes, with a silver-white illusionary flickering behind him.

Seeing this, Xu Tianran on the presidium gave a cold snort.

"As expected, I didn't think they'd hide it this long; Heavenly Soul Empire, huh?"

To the Ri Yue Di Guo, the True Body Sect is absolutely a formidable opponent worth noting, so Xu Tianran had noticed before the match that many high-ranking members of the True Body Sect had infiltrated Bright Capital.

At that time he guessed that in this tournament a team would likely be the True Body Sect in disguise, but he didn't expect that before the elimination round ended they would already show their true colors.

Meanwhile, Huo Yutong stood on the stage, her expression somewhat strange.

She now understood why Gu Tong had asked about her martial soul before the match; obviously, his martial soul was the same as hers—also the eyes.

And the silver-white illusion appearing behind him was clearly the second awakening of the True Body Martial Soul.

As one of the most important parts of the human body, the eyes obviously qualified for a silver-rank second awakening.

However, what struck Huo Yutong as odd was that she didn't feel any strong spiritual power fluctuations from Gu Tong; he seemed not entirely like her, and he was not a spiritual-type soul master.

Only see all of Gu Tong's one, two, three, four, four soul rings light up, a terrifying aura erupting, and two beams of white light shooting out from his eyes at extreme speed.

After leaving his body, the white light instantly underwent a seven-color shift from red to purple, its power looking incredibly terrifying.

The True Body Sect sent him out second precisely because he was the best at long-range attacks among them.

The cold aura emanating from Huo Yutong was so intense that engaging her in close combat was absolutely unwise; their best idea was to strike from a distance and decide the victory in one blow.

Seeing this, Huo Yutong lightly sighed and raised her hand above her head.

Next, an ice-blue longsword emerged from her fingertips, and as her small hand fell it instantly slashed at those two beams of light.

The ice-blue sword light collided with the lasers in midair, and in an instant the outcome was decided.

The lasers exploded violently in midair, while the Emperor Sword was gripped in Huo Yutong's hand, its blade unscathed.

At the same time, an emerald scorpion tail shot from behind Huo Yutong, crossing the arena in the blink of an eye, wrapping around Gu Tong, who had just released his soul skill and was now stiff.

Gu Tong was already not skilled in close combat, and with his soul power largely depleted he was even less so; facing the powerful scorpion tail, he had no ability to resist at all, and was also frozen into an ice sculpture.

After Chen Lü, the True Body Sect's second member was also easily defeated by Huo Yutong; obviously, if the rest of their team were of similar strength, Huo Yutong alone could beat them all.

Regarding this, their captain couldn't sit still.

"I'll come."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Wei Na's objection and jumped onto the competition stage.
