Chapter 344: Huo Yuhao, the Ultimate Ice
As long as Shrek Academy defeated the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, its tarnished reputation would undoubtedly improve. After all, this world still belonged to the strong.
On the Competition Stage
Jiang Nannan looked at Huo Yuhao with a complex expression.
"Huo Yuhao, if you forfeit now, I won't attack you. You can safely walk away from this match.
You won't win against me there's no point in risking yourself in this fight.
Even if your Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy loses, you still have enough points to advance to the finals."
She acknowledged that Huo Yuhao was strong, but he couldn't withstand the Soul Chasing Twin Spheres a hidden weapon personally crafted by Tang San himself.
No matter how powerful Huo Yuhao was, he was still just a Soul Emperor.
And the greatest advantage of the Soul Chasing Twin Spheres was that the stronger the user, the stronger its attack.
With her own Soul Emperor level strength, she could unleash an attack far beyond her actual level using the hidden weapon.
Her warning wasn't out of sympathy it was because Bei Bei had made a special request to Shrek's battle team:
They were not to inflict irreparable injuries on Huo Yuhao much less kill him.
Jiang Nannan respected Bei Bei.
Unlike Xu Sanshi, whom she despised, Bei Bei was someone she admired.
And since Bei Bei was the great grandson of the current Sea God's Pavilion Master, few in Shrek Academy could match his background.
So, she was willing to give him this courtesy.
However, Huo Yuhao shook his head and firmly refused.
"As the captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, my duty is to lead my team to victory, not to forfeit.
If I surrender now, it will crush our morale. Even if we advance, what happens if we face Shrek Academy again?
Would we just forfeit again?
Some decisions, once made, are hard to take back."
"Besides, talk is cheap, Jiang Nannan. Let's settle this with our strength."
Jiang Nannan's expression turned cold.
She had given Huo Yuhao a chance, but he refused to take it.
Fine.
Soon, he would understand the power of the Soul Chasing Twin Spheres.
With Zheng Zhan and the chief referee overseeing the match, Huo Yuhao wouldn't die.
But he would taste the bitterness of defeat.
Against a weapon personally created by Tang San, everyone had to bow their heads.
According to Shrek's historical records, even Dugu Bo once used the Soul Chasing Twin Spheres to drive off the powerful Chrysanthemum Douluo even though he stood no chance in a direct fight.
Such a powerful hidden weapon was now her trump card.
Huo Yuhao was doomed to lose.
In the Sky
Chief Referee Zheng Zhan watched the exchange unfold, a pleased expression on his aged face.
He admired Huo Yuhao's fighting spirit.
Suddenly, Jing Hongchen's voice rang in his mind.
"Zheng Zhan, Huo Yuhao is on the battlefield. Protect him.
Even if we have personal conflicts, do not target him just because he belongs to the Sun Moon Academy."
Jing Hongchen firmly believed in Huo Yuhao's victory, but he didn't want him injured.
What if Shrek Academy played dirty?
If they had even more sinister Tang Sect hidden weapons, Huo Yuhao could be in real danger.
After all, Tang San had created weapons capable of injuring even Title Douluo and Super Douluo.
If Shrek Academy had brought one of those, even Huo Yuhao's immense spiritual power might not be enough to protect him.
Zheng Zhan was momentarily surprised.
He turned to glance at Jing Hongchen, seated solemnly in the VIP area.
Then, he snorted and responded via spiritual transmission.
"Jing Hongchen, are you out of your mind?
Sure, I dislike you, but that's between us not between me and Vice Hall Master Huo.
He's the future of the Sun Moon Empire.
If something happens to him under my watch, I might as well throw away my title as the Unbreakable Douluo."
After that, he gestured to the referee, signaling him to start the match.
The referee immediately complied, lowering his right hand.
"Match, begin!"
The Battle Begins
Jiang Nannan instantly teleported forward, her hands producing two metallic spheres.
She was prepared to use Invincible Golden Body to guard against Huo Yuhao's spiritual attacks.
Invincible Golden Body made her immune to all attacks below god level for three seconds while doubling her strength.
And for every 10 ranks of soul power, the duration increased by one second.
As a Soul Emperor, Jiang Nannan's Invincible Golden Body lasted for five seconds!
Just as she activated her defense, she saw Huo Yuhao's eyes glow gold.
Jiang Nannan immediately activated Invincible Golden Body, her figure glowing brilliant gold, bracing for a powerful mental attack.
But Huo Yuhao didn't attack.
He had merely baited out her Invincible Golden Body.
Truthfully, if he wasn't holding back if he weren't avoiding Tang San's attention he could have ended the fight immediately before Jiang Nannan even activated her ability.
With his speed, he could have struck before she had time to react.
But since he couldn't reveal his full power, he played along.
Now, she had wasted her Invincible Golden Body.
Watching her flash toward him, glowing in golden light, Huo Yuhao's eyes turned icy blue.
A bone chilling cold erupted from his body, sweeping across the arena.
For a brief moment, the phantom of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion flickered behind him.
He didn't need to reveal his full strength but that didn't mean he wouldn't showcase some of it.
A freezing wave of cold spread instantly across the battlefield.
The metallic competition platform was immediately covered in frost.
Although the sun blazed overhead, the temperature plummeted, making the audience shiver uncontrollably.
Many spectators hurriedly activated warmth providing soul tools just to stop themselves from freezing.
In the Sky
Chief Referee Zheng Zhan's eyes widened in shock.
"Ultimate Ice?"
