Chapter 376: Blue-Gold Figure

Initially, Mu En banned Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong from using this Soul Fusion Technique on the match stage; the biggest reason was that this move's destructive power was simply too strong, aimed at killing the opponent.

Now that the two have come to the battlefield, facing enemies who also want to kill them, there's naturally no need to hold back.

"Damn it!"

The remaining two Honored Douluo's eyes instantly turned red.

Originally a team of twelve people was, in the blink of an eye, reduced to just two by these two suddenly appearing individuals—how could they accept that? They were about to attack when, at that moment, they saw two pillars of light descend from the sky, enveloping the boy and girl before them.

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong both heard that mysterious voice in their ears.

"Assistance to the White Tiger Duke operation successful, entering the third stage, True Heart Great Adventure."

The next second, both felt a flash of light before their eyes; the hands they had been holding were forcibly separated, sending them to different places.

Obviously, the White Tiger Duke had already returned to the military camp; their deep adventure was completed.

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong both breathed a sigh of relief.

They both knew that the reason they could achieve such battle results just now was, first, a sneak attack that caught the enemy off guard, and second, most opponents had no ability to resist their Soul Fusion Technique.

But if they continued to stalemate, their pressure would rise linearly; for now, Honored Douluo are still very formidable opponents to them.

Huo Yutong felt herself drifting in the air for a long time, eventually arriving at the center of a vast square.

It was a golden square, with a faint blue-gold light tracing wondrous trajectories in the air; a blue-gold figure appeared several tens of meters ahead of her. Huo Yutong couldn't see his appearance clearly, but could roughly tell it was a man.

Huo Yutong calmly asked:

"Hello, who are you? What is my third trial?"

In such a vast space, encountering such a being, the possibility that he is an opponent is far greater than that of a teammate.

The blue-gold figure did not answer her question, but instead countered: "Are you Huo Yutong?"

His tone was very peaceful and sounded very pleasant.

"Yes."

Huo Yutong gave a simple reply, while the Eye of Fate silently opened on her forehead.

She didn't know who the opponent was, so she could only adjust her own condition to the best.

The blue-gold figure chuckled: "Do you want to know who I am and the subject of the third-stage True Heart Adventure trial?"

Huo Yutong's reply remained brief: "En."

The blue-gold figure smiled slightly.

"First, let me tell you, I am not the subject of your third trial. But if you want to undergo the third trial, you must first fight me, using every means to secure victory."

Huo Yutong stared for a moment, and before she could react, the blue-gold figure teleported before her and struck her chest with a palm.

She had no means of resistance and was instantly shattered, scattering as a bloody mist.

In the next moment, countless points of light seemed to rise on the square, and Huo Yutong reappeared where she had been.

As soon as she appeared, she couldn't help but stagger, nearly falling to the ground.

The sensation of dying and being revived just now had been deeply etched into her soul; the intense pain still raged in her mind, making her head feel like it would split.

"Are you not going to launch an attack against me?"

The blue-gold figure said lightly.

Huo Yutong's face turned somewhat pale; she gritted her teeth and lunged forward as the blue-gold figure had said, but before she could successfully launch an attack, the figure fiercely kicked out, shattering her body once again.

Shattered again and then re-formed, when Huo Yutong died and revived once more, she couldn't help but gasp heavily.

This feeling was truly unpleasant; after just two experiences, her consciousness felt a bit hazy.

And worst of all…

Huo Yutong lifted her head, gritted her teeth, and glanced at the blue-gold figure.

At this moment, the figure had its hands behind its back, obviously not intending to attack, but she also didn't know when the next wave of attack would come.

Just as Huo Yutong was exchanging blows with that figure, she was shocked to discover that her martial soul and soul skills were completely sealed; now she could only use her flesh and soul power.

This is truly deadly; if it were Tang Wulin here, he might still retain about ten percent of his strength, but after losing these means, Huo Yutong's combat power is truly a mere tenth.

Making her, in this state, fight an opponent she couldn't even defeat at her peak, Huo Yutong felt she saw no hope of victory.

Could it be that she should run away?

Thinking this, Huo Yutong exerted force with her feet and abruptly retreated backward.

She didn't know where to run, but in any case, the farther from that figure, the better.

However, before she could dash out ten meters, the figure appeared before her again, raising its fist.

With a "bang," Huo Yutong once again felt the pain of death and rebirth.

Revived once more in the same spot, she uncomfortably covered her brow, shook her head in pain, looked at her opponent, and fell into doubt.

Unable to beat it, unable to flee—what is this guy trying to do? Seeing her movements stop, the blue-gold figure sighed disappointedly.

"How come, you don't even have the courage to fight me anymore?"

"Courage?"

Huo Yutong blinked slightly.

Could it be that she needs to summon courage to fight the opponent? Huo Yutong hesitated in her heart for a moment, then quickly made up her mind.

Anyway, since there's no way to clear the stage, and besides she won't die here, giving it a try certainly won't be wrong.

Huo Yutong bent her knees, lowered her center of gravity, then surged forward again.

Even without the boost of her martial soul, her speed remained fast; she crossed several tens of meters in an instant, appearing before the blue-gold figure, feinted with a spear, then threw a punch at the figure's front gate.

Facing her attack, the blue-gold figure blocked it with a raised hand, then struck her again with a palm, shattering her.

White points of light slowly rose; Huo Yutong once again endured great pain to be reborn, but this time her gaze differed from her previous bewildered doubt, looking somewhat excited.

This battle was clearly easier than the last; what if we did it a few more times, or dozens of times?

Perhaps the opponent's difficulty would drop to the point where even she, unable to use her martial soul, could handle it.

By then, she will be able to pass the test and see Tang Wulin again.

Thinking of this, Huo Yutong inhaled deeply and surged toward her opponent again.

What she does not yet know is how cruel and endless the hell she is rushing into.
