Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 123 Myriad-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow (Part 2 Combined)

The selected team members on the stage chatted amongst themselves, their voices filled with deep shock at Huo Yumiao.

Apart from Ma Rulong, the results of the other individuals' battles against Xiao Hongchen are all questionable. In other words, Huo Yumiao defeating Xiao Hongchen is no different from defeating them.

Although the Soul Guiding Light Screen was playing exciting battle clips from the competition, neither the people on stage nor the students below paid much attention to it, as they remained immersed in the battle between Huo Yumiao and Xiao Hongchen.

In the distance, Huo Yuhao also ended his mental detection sharing. Fan Yu came back to his senses, his heart filled with shock.

Yellow, purple, and black! Huo Yumiao also has this kind of soul ring configuration!

Fan Yu originally thought that Huo Yuhao's ability to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring with his Soul Master cultivation was already unparalleled, but he never expected that another one could appear in the world.

Fan Yu had personally experienced Huo Yumiao's talent, who had surpassed two rings and defeated a Soul King skilled in soul tools with the power of a Soul Master.

Although Fan Yu didn't recognize who Huo Yumiao was fighting, the cannons surrounding the opponent clearly indicated that he was a Soul Master.

There has always been a theory among Soul Masters and Soul Mentors: before the seventh ring, Soul Mentors of the same level have the advantage; after the seventh ring, Soul Masters of the same level have the advantage.

Therefore, the significance of Huo Yumiao's victory has increased even further. No wonder her disciple said that it was impossible to defeat him. He did not believe that Yuhao could defeat the Soul King, let alone Huo Yumiao, who had so easily defeated the Soul King.

"Yuhao, your brother's talent is indeed beyond my expectations." Hearing Fan Yu's praise, even though it wasn't directed at him, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel happy.

Huo Yuhao was also quite shocked by Miao Ge's victory over Xiao Hongchen, never expecting that his Miao Ge's strength had grown to this level.

With this thought in mind, Huo Yuhao secretly encouraged himself, determined to work even harder!
News of Huo Yumiao's victory over Xiao Hongchen quickly spread throughout the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The glory of their own academy winning the championship might not be important to the older students and those who have entered Mingde Hall, but it is very exciting for the younger students.

A large number of people watched Huo Yumiao and Xiao Hongchen's fight, and the news spread like wildfire, reaching the entire academy in less than an hour after the awards ceremony ended.

After Huo Yumiao and her two companions finished their meal and entered the academy gate, they saw a banner that read "Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy Wins the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament" and only then did they belatedly realize what had happened.

"I knew I'd forgotten something, turns out it was the awards ceremony..." Meng Hongchen's brows relaxed, and the strange feeling in her heart finally found its answer.

Compared to Meng Hongchen's calmness, Xiao Hongchen seemed somewhat heartbroken. This guy, who was hailed as the number one genius of the Sun and Moon, enjoyed enjoying all kinds of adoration.

Xiao Hongchen was heartbroken for missing this opportunity to shine in front of his juniors.

But his heartache didn't last long, because he discovered that every student along the way looked at him with strange eyes.
At first, Xiao Hongchen thought it was because of winning the championship, and he returned a gentle smile to every student who looked at him, until...

"Is that Senior Huo who defeated Senior Xiao? He's just as handsome in person as he is on screen!"

"Xiao Xuechang has such a good attitude. Even after being defeated, he is still so positive. I really hope I can be like him."

"No, I want Senior Huo's contact information."

Xiao Hongchen had three question marks on his forehead. He was indeed defeated by Huo Yumiao, but that was in the test site where there were only the three of them. How did these people know?
A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in Xiao Hongchen's heart.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Hongchen saw two female students walking towards him, holding two voice transmission soul tools in their hands, looking shy and speaking nervously.

"Senior Huo, would you mind accepting this voice transmission soul tool?"

Huo Yumiao felt a little doubtful and refused. Just as the female student turned to leave in disappointment, Xiao Hongchen hurriedly called out to her.

How do you know Yu Miao beat me?

After Xiao Hongchen finished speaking, he waited intently for the female student's response. Upon hearing this, the female student, who had been called upon, said dejectedly, "Today's awards ceremony featured a video of your battle with Senior Huo."

The female student left after speaking, leaving Xiao Hongchen standing there dumbfounded. He turned to Meng Hongchen in disbelief, "Meng, what did she just say?"

“Your match with Yu Miao this morning was probably seen by the whole school.” Meng Hongchen’s eyes darted around as she emphasized, “Everyone knows you lost to Yu Miao.”

Xiao Hongchen's breath hitched, and the image of himself losing to Huo Yumiao that morning flashed through his mind again.

Losing is not important. What is important is that Huo Yumiao beat him. He, a fifteen-year-old Soul King, lost to a twelve-year-old Soul Venerable. This is a huge blow to him, who is known as a genius.

This was originally just a matter between the three of them, but now it's different; his title as the number one genius of the Sun and Moon is about to change hands.

"Why would they play this at the awards ceremony?!" Xiao Hongchen clutched his head in his hands, his expression one of utter despair. Losing in a private battle was one thing, but being exposed was a scandal.

"Now you're going to be famous in the academy again, Xiao." Meng Hongchen ignored Xiao Hongchen's sad mood and mocked him.

"That's strange. There were only the three of us there at the time. We left right after the fight, so the news definitely didn't leak from us," Huo Yumiao thought to herself, analyzing the situation with a sense of unease.

Although Meng Hongchen was mocking Xiao Hongchen, she also had doubts in her heart. Seeing that Xiao Hongchen's emotions seemed to be getting more and more intense, she quickly stopped laughing and joined in the analysis.

"It's really strange. The test site is very soundproof, so eavesdropping is impossible. That leaves only the monitoring soul tool."

"No, whether it was eavesdropping or monitoring the soul tool, no matter how they found out, why would they play this at the awards ceremony!" Xiao Hongchen still couldn't accept this fact.

All he could think about were the scenes from just now, the students who were giving him strange looks, and how he responded to each of them like a fool.

"Alright, bro, didn't you tell me before that you wanted to leave an unforgettable memory for the younger students at the awards ceremony? Even though you didn't go, you've still achieved your goal."

Meng Hongchen said in a comforting tone, but she couldn't suppress the smile that was curving her lips.

"Who wants to be so famous! I'm going to go to the teaching affairs office and find out!" After saying that, Xiao Hongchen burst out with a speed even more astonishing than in battle, rushing towards the teaching building at lightning speed.

Huo Yumiao and Meng Hongchen exchanged a glance, both seeing curiosity in each other's eyes, and followed together.

When the two arrived at the office, they overheard Xiao Hongchen's questioning voice, "Why was the award ceremony showing footage of my fight with Yu Miao!"

Lin Jiayi, sitting in his office, wore a helpless expression. He had anticipated this outcome since the mishap at the awards ceremony. If Xiao Hongchen had won, it wouldn't have been a problem, but the issue was that Xiao Hongchen had lost. And he had lost despite being completely outmatched in age and cultivation. Knowing Xiao Hongchen's personality, a scene was inevitable, and Lin Jiayi had already prepared his response.

"Xiaoxiao, don't get excited. Here's what happened: when we were gathering everyone, we couldn't contact you and Xiaomeng. The ceremony was about to take place, so we could only try to find your location through the monitoring soul tool."

The teachers in the monitoring room said you went there to look for Huo Yumiao, and that's when we saw your battle at the testing ground.

"This has nothing to do with playing it at the awards ceremony, right?" Xiao Hongchen asked, not feeling that there was any connection between the two.

"Let me finish. We were originally going to show a clip of your victory in the tournament, but the person in charge of that part forgot to put the storage metal back in its place after viewing it."

This led to the mistaken belief that it was the storage metal brought back by Master Ma, which inadvertently released the battle between you and Yu Miao.

"This was indeed a mistake on the part of the academy, but where did Xiaoxiao and Xiaomeng go? They couldn't answer the soul-guided communication device several times."

After hearing Lin Jiayi's explanation, Xiao Hongchen's expression softened somewhat. He was surprised that Lin Jiayi could accept it, and to be honest, he did have some faults.

"Yu Miao and Xiao Meng, don't stand outside." Lin Jiayi was a Soul Douluo after all, and although his cultivation was weak, he could easily sense the two of them through the wall.

"Director." Huo Yumiao and Meng Hongchen immediately entered the office and greeted Lin Jiayi.

"Yu Miao, you've given me a huge surprise." Although Lin Jiayi didn't say it explicitly, all three people present knew what he was talking about. Xiao Hongchen's face darkened, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"Did you two not come today because of Yu Miao?" Lin Jiayi asked tentatively.

"Xiao and I wanted to get to know Yu Miao, so Xiao and Yu Miao sparred for a bit. It was almost noon, so we thought we'd go out for a stroll and accidentally forgot about the awards ceremony."

Meng Hongchen explained the ins and outs of the matter, and Lin Jiayi nodded slightly after listening, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

He was naturally pleased to see the geniuses from his own academy getting along so well, and after giving them a few more instructions, he let the three of them leave.

"Next time we come, we'll definitely win..."

"Come on, for a Soul King like you to say something like that already shows a weaker aura than Yu Miao. And you still want to fight? You really have the nerve." Before Xiao Hongchen could finish speaking, Meng Hongchen, who couldn't stand it anymore, dragged him away.

Huo Yumiao originally intended to go straight back to the dormitory to see the mysteries inside the Yuan Silver Crystal, but halfway there, he felt a strange movement in his storage soul tool, which was the communication soul tool between him and Huo Yuhao.

"Brother, the teacher is here. We're in lab number 15 now. Are you free right now?"

"I'll be there soon."

Putting away the soul communication device, Huo Yumiao's eyes flickered slightly. The only person who could make Huo Yuhao so excited and call him "teacher" was Fan Yu. So, the letter had worked.

Thinking of this, Huo Yumiao couldn't help but laugh. With Xian Lin'er and Fan Yu leaving one after another, who else in Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department could take the lead? How could they develop Soul Guidance Devices?
Oh, they never intended to develop soul tools in the first place. Without soul tools, how much of a splash can Shrek Academy make after Moon's death?

With your current state, Xuanzi, you'll never become a Limit Douluo on your own in your entire life. As for the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion, they're not worth mentioning. Once he becomes a Title Douluo, he can deal with them easily.

The only thing that really needs our attention is that golden tree. No matter what's inside, Huo Yumiao doesn't believe it can withstand two level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells.

Thinking this, Huo Yumiao quickly entered the experimental area and made her way to Laboratory No. 15.

Huo Yumiao skillfully swiped her card to enter and immediately spotted Huo Yuhao and Fan Yu, who looked around like a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden.

Hearing the noise coming from the door, Fan Yu, who was marveling at the advanced nature of the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools, even an experimental table with so many functions, subconsciously looked up and immediately saw a face that looked five or six parts like his own disciple.

"Teacher, this is my brother." Fan Yu quickly looked Huo Yumiao over and marveled at the great difference between the two brothers.

They both have very similar appearances, but Yuhao looks like an innocent child, while Huo Yumiao gives off a sense of being shrewd and resourceful.

The difference in their eyes was so great that even strangers could tell them apart at a glance.

"Hello, Yumiao."

"Hello, Teacher Fan." Fan Yu wasn't surprised that Huo Yumiao knew his name. Judging from the other party's expressionless face, Yuhao must have mentioned it to her long ago.

After a brief introduction, Huo Yumiao made an excuse to leave. He and Fan Yu didn't really have anything to get to know each other, since they weren't master and disciple.

Huo Yumiao quickly returned to her dormitory, locked the door, took out two ice-blue Yuan Silver Crystals, and spread them out in her palm.

The moment the Yuan Yin Jing came into contact with the air, wisps of white mist rose from its surroundings, and a cool sensation immediately swept over you.

"Hyotei, what should I do? Should I use soul power or mental power?"

"Relax your body and let me do it," Huo Yumiao called out in her mind, and Bingdi responded quickly.

Having fused with the Gold of Life, Hyotei must obtain his consent before she can take control of his body; this is the power of the Gold of Life.

With a blink of his eyes, his dark pupils were replaced by emerald green. As Hyotei raised his hand, two Yuan Silver Crystals floated in the air. Emerald light shone between his fingers as he lightly touched the surfaces of the two Yuan Silver Crystals.

Visibly, ripples spread across the surface of the Yuan Silver Crystal, and along with these ripples, cracks appeared out of nowhere.

Yuan Yin Jing is a material sufficient to make an eighth-level soul tool. Its hardness is self-evident. Only a titled Douluo can damage it by pure force alone.

It could withstand the Soul Emperor's full-force attack without any problem, yet it shattered under the Ice Emperor's seemingly powerless touch.

The cracks quickly covered the Yuan Silver Crystal completely, turning it into tiny fragments that fell to the ground. As the Yuan Silver Crystal on the surface fell off, the contents inside finally appeared.

With just one glance, Hyotei's eyes lit up with a bright green light, and his expression was not only incredulous but also somewhat dazed.
