Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 462 Defeat in the Mortal World
As a Soul Master, he naturally couldn't get close to Lu Genggeng, who possessed the Hate Martial Soul. Instead, he would choose to keep as far away from her as possible to maintain the advantage of being a Soul Master.

His fourth spirit ring rippled, shimmering with purple light.

Fourth Soul Skill - Sacrifice of Gold.

Almost instantly, golden light appeared on Xiao Hongchen's body, and his entire soul power was burning. The effect of this soul skill was very simple: during the burning of soul power, the power of his soul tool and soul skill was greatly enhanced.

The reason why Xiao Hongchen did not use his sixth soul skill, Metal Control, to destroy the opponent's Holy Spirit Flag was mainly because he had already tried it in battle and found that he simply could not control the metal in the Holy Spirit Flag. The metal elements seemed to be wrapped in a strange layer of vengeful spirit energy, which hindered his control.

Perhaps only by cultivating to a higher level can I break through the energy of those vengeful spirits and control the metal in their soul tool.

This is actually quite normal. Ye Xishui's expertise in soul tools surpasses that of all the soul masters in Shrek Academy combined. The Holy Spirit Flag that Ye Xishui personally crafted is extraordinary and cannot be compared to any soul tool from Shrek Academy.

Bang bang bang!
The soul-guided cannons on his body burst forth with sparks, and a large number of soul-guided cannons rushed towards Lu Genggeng like arrows released from a bow. Their power was so great that Lu Genggeng had to be on high alert.

As Lu Genggeng ran and roared, a faint red light appeared on his body almost instantly. He used the flying soul tool on his back to help him and leaped into the air, pouncing on Xiao Hongchen in mid-air like a vicious wolf, wanting to tear Xiao Hongchen to shreds.

Just as the enhanced soul-guided cannons were about to hit him and explode, Lu Genggeng revealed a strange smile: "Xiao Hongchen, you've been tricked."

The next moment, his sixth spirit ring flickered with black light. Almost instantly, a distorted wave appeared around his figure. The spirit cannons passed through his body easily without exploding, as if they had passed through nothingness.

This is an extremely special soul skill called Void. Its function is very simple: it makes one's body as thin as air, so that no physical attack or soul power attack can affect him.

Within the Holy Spirit Cult, only outstanding disciples, under the guidance of powerful members, can seek out special soul beasts possessing this soul skill, hunt them down, obtain soul rings, and thus acquire the soul skill.

In fact, the sixth soul skill he originally planned to acquire was not Void, but another soul skill that was more suitable for his Hate Martial Soul. After he reached the level limit of the Soul King stage, he delayed acquiring the sixth soul ring, mainly to wait for a sixth soul skill that was extremely suitable for his Hate Martial Soul. However, he finally got this kind of soul skill before the finals, but under the leader's request, he could only give up this kind of soul skill and choose Void instead.

The reason is simple: Huo Yuhao's current strength is simply too great. A Soul Saint who possesses both a Spirit-type Body Martial Soul and an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul is undoubtedly the number one young Soul Master in the Douluo Continent today.

Therefore, the Holy Spirit Cult decided to change Lu Genggeng's original plan for his sixth soul skill and instead give him the Void Soul Skill. The purpose of doing so was simple: Lu Genggeng has a considerable number of control soul skills, the only drawback of which is that these control soul skills can only be truly effective when the opponent gets close to a certain distance.

If Lu Genggeng didn't have the Void Soul Skill, she would probably have been quickly defeated before she even got close to Huo Yuhao, and wouldn't have been able to play any role at all.

Of course, the Void Soul Skill also has its flaws, namely, it cannot resist mental attacks. However, resisting mental attacks is not difficult. Nowadays, the Holy Spirit Cult has equipped every contestant with a mental defense soul tool.

Lu Genggeng, who looked like a humanoid mountain of flesh, charged directly at Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen knew it was too late to run. His prized soul-guided cannon attack, to his surprise, temporarily lost its effectiveness against Lu Genggeng's soul skill.
He planned to use his invincible shield to resist the attack, and then continue to look for an opportunity.

As Lu Genggeng's first and fourth spirit rings lit up, green poisonous mist surged towards Xiao Hongchen. At the same time, Lu Genggeng swung out a large hook with a bone chain in his hand, emitting white light, which directly hooked Xiao Hongchen. He had timed it perfectly, hitting Xiao Hongchen at the very moment his old invincible shield disappeared and he was about to put on a new one.

It is extremely difficult to capture this moment, but Lu Genggeng did it with his rich experience. At this moment, Xiao Hongchen felt his body being pulled towards Lu Genggeng's hair by a strange force. The rattling sound of chains echoed in his ears, as if death was knocking on the door.

Xiao Hongchen felt that he was getting closer and closer to Lu Genggeng, which was undoubtedly bad news. He tried to break free of the hook, but failed.

It felt as if the hook had caught not one's own body, but one's soul.

He acted decisively, using his invincible shield to overcome the difficulty and activating his fifth soul skill, Golden Affection, to neutralize any potential physical attacks.

However, a large amount of dark green poisonous fog also attacked. Xiao Hongchen was surrounded by the dark green poisonous fog, and his head was a little dizzy. His soul power circulation was slowed down for a moment, but his invincible shield was still released. Moreover, his fifth soul ring was flashing with black light, and he quickly turned into a humanoid metallic liquid.

The hook was instantly severed and rendered ineffective due to the invincible shield and the golden affinity.

However, because the invincible shield was not released in time, some of the green poisonous mist was trapped inside the invincible shield. Although the invincible shield can resist external attacks, the premise is that the attack is outside the shield.

The space inside the invincible shield was indeed more enclosed than the outside, so the dark green poisonous mist that remained inside the shield surged in. In addition, the Golden Affection could only offset 80% of physical attacks, but not the soul power attack of poisonous mist. Soon, Xiao Hongchen's soul power circulation speed slowed down further, and his drowsy condition became more and more serious.

"Not good." He used a large amount of soul power to suppress the toxins in his body. Three seconds passed in a flash. His soul power circulation speed improved and his mind became clearer, but he had not recovered to his peak condition.

Therefore, the speed at which he activated the next invincible shield naturally slowed down.

In battle, this would undoubtedly be fatal.

"Xiao Hongchen!" Lu Genggeng pressed down on Xiao Hongchen like a mountain of flesh, and once again seized the opportunity when Xiao Hongchen switched to his invincible shield, he threw out a hook that emitted white light, directly hooking Xiao Hongchen and pulling him towards himself.

At the same time, he waved the Holy Spirit Flag again with his other hand, and several vengeful spirits attacked Xiao Hongchen.

The two were very close when the vengeful spirits let out shrieks and then exploded one after another.

Chief Referee Zheng Zhan had already seized the opportunity. He immediately stepped onto the field, took the brunt of the explosion, and saved Xiao Hongchen.

He looked across at Lu Genggeng, whose body was injured in the explosion, but who was using the corpse of a soul beast to eat in order to heal his injuries.

"Lu Genggeng wins! Please send the next contestant from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
