Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 74 Tell me, how do you want to die? (Two in one)
The old man stood on the high platform, wearing a black robe, with an old face but shiny black hair. At this moment, he was staring at Huo Yuhao who was walking down the stage, with a burning look in his eyes as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.

"Round Robin, first round, third match. Players from both teams, please come on stage."

Hou Saiqu, He Caitou and Jiang Nannan with twitching faces, and Wang Dong with a collapsed face looked at each other, all with an expression of "Is it really me?"

"Come on, you are the best." Wang Yan encouraged in a relaxed manner, with "I believe in you" written all over his face, but only he knew whether it was true or not.

With an expression of being ready to die, Wang Dong and the other two stepped onto the arena. Opposite them were two men and one woman, all of whom were Soul King-level warriors. After Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi came on stage, Wang Yan had already introduced the relevant information about the opponents to the remaining people.

The only female soul master among them is called Zhan Yang, who is an auxiliary war soul king and has the spirit of double drums, a rare musical instrument spirit.

The other two, the one on the left is called Jin Chi, the control-type war soul king, and his martial soul is the Soul Binding Chain. The one on the right is called Zhang Yang, the assault-type war soul king, and his martial soul is the Tongli Rhinoceros.

"The game begins!" As usual, after both sides announced their names, the referee gave an order and the battle began again.

Wang Dong spread his golden-blue butterfly wings and rose into the air, while Jiang Nannan used her identity as agile attack spirit master to quickly approach his opponent.

He Caitou did not move his body, and several unknown metal blocks appeared at his calves, continuously extending downwards, and actually pierced through the table and took root in the ground. At the same time, a large amount of metal was assembled from his body surface to form attack soul guides of various forms.

Zhang Yang roared, and his skin turned silver-gray in the blink of an eye. A rhinoceros horn grew from his forehead. He looked majestic, with thick limbs and a broad body, which were typical external features of a strong attack-type martial spirit.

Among the three, Zhang Yang had the biggest change. A two-meter-long purple chain appeared in Jin Chi's hand, and a faint black airflow lingered on the surface of the chain.

Among the three, Zhang Yang was the only one equipped with a soul guide device, at least on the surface. He had a huge soul guide propeller fixed on his back, which was more than twice as large as a normal soul guide propeller.

Zhan Yang held a drumstick in each hand, and in front of her was a golden drum with a diameter of more than half a meter and a height of more than one meter. The next second, her first three soul rings flashed one after another.

As each soul ring lit up, two streams of light wrapped around the front end of the drumstick, and three soul skills emerged. The drumsticks in Zhan Yang's hands were each surrounded by three streams of light, red, green, and brown respectively.

Zhan Yang clamped her elbows around her waist and dropped two drumsticks from the same height. When the sticks fell, although she only struck once, four dull drum sounds were heard.

Three circles of sound waves spread out in all directions, and disappeared into thin air instantly after coming into contact with Zhang Yang's body. However, Zhang Yang's already burly figure swelled again after coming into contact with the sound waves.

At this time, Zhang Yang's fourth soul ring lit up, and his body, which had already expanded twice, grew even taller. His height had reached a terrifying four meters, and he rushed towards He Caitou like a small mountain.

"Go!" Jin Chi shouted in a low voice, and the two purple soul rings beside him lit up one after another. He loosened his palm, and the soul-binding chain floated up as if it had a spirit, flying towards the other side at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, He Caitou's soul guide turret was completely deployed. He held a black cigar in his mouth and took a deep puff. The cigar was half burned. White light shone around his body. Upon closer inspection, it was all from sixty-four gun muzzles of different shapes.

In an instant, all kinds of attacks flew out, including light balls and rays, all targeting Zhan Yang and Jin Chi who were in the back.

As for the powerful soul power fluctuations emitted by Zhang Yang at this moment, Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong could not compare to it even if they were doubled together. They tacitly chose to find the running Zhang Yang at the same time.

Jiang Nannan's second soul ring lit up, and gravity control fell on Zhang Yang, trying to slow down the opponent's pace. However, Zhang Yang just paused, stomped his right foot on the ground, and a strong momentum surged out, instantly breaking the gravity control.

Wang Dong had already prepared his third soul skill, Butterfly God Slash, in the air, and arrived in front of Zhang Yang the moment Jiang Nannan's gravity control was broken.

The Butterfly God Slash was only half a meter away from Zhang Yang, and the dazzling golden light was within reach. Zhang Yang's expression remained unchanged, his second soul ring lit up, and his broad palm became as smooth and clear as black glass. He swung his palm and grabbed the flying object directly.

When the two collided, Zhang Yang clenched his palm fiercely, and the five-meter-long Butterfly God Slash was blocked by his single palm, and was torn into pieces, turning into star-like light and dissipating.

At this moment, Jin Chi's Soul-Binding Chain had also crossed half the court. Under Wang Dong's astonished gaze, the Soul-Binding Chain split into three and flew in three directions at the same time.

Faced with the attacking Soul-Binding Chain, Wang Dong subconsciously wanted to fly into the air to avoid it, but he was dumbfounded the next second. This Soul-Binding Chain could actually track him, so dodging was definitely useless.

Wang Dong's eyes became fierce, and the first soul ring lit up. Golden light appeared on both sides of the wings, extending to the surroundings to form a golden light edge nearly one foot long.

The wing guillotine hit the purple soul-binding chain, but the imagined collision did not happen. The soul-binding chain passed through the wings and went straight into Wang Dong's body.

There was a sharp pain in his head, Wang Dong groaned, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and a small golden trident flashed between his eyebrows. He fainted on the spot and fell powerlessly from the air.

The referee dodged and caught Wang Dong, which meant that Wang Dong was eliminated in this fight.

Wang Dong was not the only one in trouble. Jin Chi vomited blood and his whole body shook violently. The stabbing pain in his head was as intense as needles, as if an invisible pair of hands was constantly playing with his nerves.

As their spirits came under attack, the soul-binding chains that were originally attacking He Caitou and Jiang Nannan disappeared.

"Jin Chi, what's wrong with you!" Zhan Yang was startled. This was the first time that Jin Chi had an accident after knowing him for so long. He didn't have time to ask too many questions. The attack launched by He Caitou was less than twenty meters away from them.

Zhan Yang's fourth soul ring flashed, and he struck the golden drum again. Still a wave of sound shot out from the drum, but this time the sound wave did not spread outward, but extended upward to form an arc-shaped energy barrier, which just blocked all attacks.

"He has a high-level soul guide for mental defense, which can bounce back my mental attacks." The horror in Jin Chi's eyes disappeared, he took a long breath, and said fearfully.

Jin Chi could only think of this one explanation. He was able to rebound his mental attack in an instant. If the soul skill he just used had not targeted both mental power and soul power at the same time, he would not have been able to make Wang Dong unconscious.

However, what Jin Chi didn't know was that it was not a spiritual defense soul guide device, but the work of a "pure and innocent" god.

"It seems that Shrek Academy is not as resistant to soul guides as rumored. It actually has a trick up its sleeve. But it makes sense. Anyone with normal vision can see how powerful soul guides are." Zhan Yang was shocked, but then he felt relieved.

On the other side, He Caitou felt bitter. The previous wave of attacks consumed nearly 40% of his soul power, but seeing the other party's relaxed look, it was obvious that it had no effect.

Wang Dong was eliminated, and only Jiang Nannan was left to confront Zhang Yang head-on. But as a mere Soul Master, how many blows could she withstand?
The two men fought with fists and feet. Zhang Yang raised a confident smile on his face and brought down a palm. He believed that his opponent had nowhere to hide from this blow.

This was indeed the case, but Jiang Nannan was a weird mechanic! The third soul ring lit up, and Jiang Nannan appeared on the ground a few meters away from Zhang Yang. Can you believe that a soft-bone rabbit could get such a magical skill as instant teleportation?
Zhang Yang was obviously shocked, but he reacted in an instant. His third soul ring lit up and a sharp roar came from his mouth. The moment they heard it, both Jiang Nannan and He Caitou couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

"Great opportunity!" This was the moment to see the advantages of the Soul Guide thruster. Larger size meant more horsepower. As soul power surged, a subtle explosion-like sound emanated from the source, demonstrating the terrifying airflow within. Less than ten meters away, in the blink of an eye, Zhang Yang was in front of Jiang Nannan. His palm once again transformed into a black glass-like color, and with the force of a wind-breaking blow, he struck Jiang Nannan's chest.

A line of blood was seen streaking through the air, and Jiang Nannan flew backwards and hit the hard table. After rolling a few times, he gradually stopped, and he was breathing in more than out.

The referee appeared in time and Jiang Nannan fell unconscious. Everything happened so fast that He Caitou had just gathered strength for the second attack, and in a few breaths, both teammates were eliminated.

"Brother, do you still want to fight?" Zhang Yang shouted, waiting for He Caitou's response.

"No more fighting, I give up." He Caitou gave a bitter smile. How could he still fight? His best long-range attacks couldn't even break through his opponent's defense.

As for competing in close combat with a powerful attack-type soul king? He Caitou is not that stupid.

"In the third match of the first round of the round-robin tournament, the Xingluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy wins!" The referee said this in a high-pitched voice, almost roaring. The Xingluo Empire's academy defeated Shrek, which undoubtedly made history!

"Shrek Academy actually lost! My money!"

"Shrek Academy lost to our Xingluo Academy. Our Xingluo is the home of the continent's number one institution of higher learning!"

"Hahaha! I win! I win! All 100,000 gold soul coins are mine!"

"Xingluo is invincible!"

The Star Luo Empire officially allows opening bets, which has also spawned some gamblers who either become rich overnight or lose everything overnight.

At this moment, the audience seats were filled with all kinds of passionate voices, some were cursing, some were praising, some were ecstatic, some were sad, and some people who bet on Shrek Academy even fainted from the pain on the spot.

The people were so emotional that the situation was getting a little out of control. Seeing this, Xu Jiawei nodded to the old man in a golden robe on the side.

"quiet!"

No one saw the old man using a soul amplifying device, but his voice echoed in everyone's ears. The voice seemed to carry a hint of magic, which quickly calmed the originally excited people.

On the other hand, the expressions of the soul masters from various academies changed. Those soul masters with higher soul powers could clearly feel the mental power carried in that voice. Although it was not much, it was extremely condensed.

A Spiritual Attribute Soul Master? Huo Yuhao was probably the only one who could sense the existence of this spiritual power through his Soul Master strength. With the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, he was naturally able to perceive all fluctuations of spiritual power.

"We lost after all..." Wang Yan sighed. It should have been natural for such a team to lose to the Five Soul King Team, but he just felt unwilling to accept it.

"Let's go." Wang Yan said listlessly, and led a few people through the contestants' special passage to leave Xingluo Square.

After returning to the Xingluo Royal Hotel, several people settled the unconscious Wang Dong. As for Jiang Nannan, she was placed in a special ward. Her injuries were much more serious than Wang Dong's. Her internal organs were damaged and displaced, and she would not recover in ten days or half a month.

"Yuhao, there's something going on outside!"

Huo Yuhao returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed. Just as he was about to meditate and practice for a while, the warning sound of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rang in his mind.

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw an old man with a haggard face standing less than three meters away from him, staring at him with undisguised greed in his eyes.

"Who are you?" Huo Yuhao remained calm, pretending to stand up and step back in shock. He casually put his right hand behind his back, took out a small metal block and pressed it.

The old man curled his lips and sneered, "Tell me, which of the ten fierce beasts is the human incarnation? I didn't expect that you can hide it well from others, but not from me."

"What are the ten most ferocious beasts? What are you talking about?" Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, his face full of bewilderment.

"Don't pretend, it's useless. With your current level of cultivation, you don't even stand a chance in front of me.

I've sealed this place off with my soul power. No sound or soul power fluctuations can get out, so of course, you can't escape either!" The old man looked at Huo Yuhao with disdain, his eyes filled with pride.

"I don't understand what you are saying." Huo Yuhao had a calm expression on his face. He even felt like laughing in his heart, and he began to think secretly in his mind.

"Well, since you don't admit it, let me expose you and make you die convinced. Today, when you were fighting against the students of Xingluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy, you accidentally used a bit of your beastly power, right?

Although it only appeared for a moment, I can conclude that it was definitely a pressure at the level of a ferocious beast. Tell me, which of the ten ferocious beasts are you?

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Huo Yuhao with anticipation, as if he wanted to see Huo Yuhao's fear and terror. However, he was disappointed. Huo Yuhao's face was nothing but calm.

"Are you still playing dumb? Let me expose your tricks. I didn't expect my luck to be so good. I have a hundred thousand year old spirit bone. Hahahaha..."

The old man laughed loudly towards the sky and stretched out his hand to grab Huo Yuhao. Facing the soul power pull of a Titled Douluo-level strong man, Huo Yuhao was of course unable to resist. He only felt an extremely powerful soul power surging into his body, causing his meridians to hurt.

"Hmm? That's not right." The old man's expression changed, and he looked at Huo Yuhao with a look of disbelief, "You are not a soul beast!"

"I told you a long time ago that I'm not a soul beast." Huo Yuhao's voice was full of sarcasm.

"How could it be! I clearly felt the breath of a ferocious beast, there's no way I could be wrong!" The old man roared, looking at Huo Yuhao with unfriendly eyes.

Huo Yuhao was too lazy to speak. The old man's mood gradually calmed down. He looked at Huo Yuhao fiercely and said in a deep voice, "Today's events are my bad luck. You better watch your mouth."

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to speak, a cold voice appeared out of nowhere. For some reason, Huo Yuhao felt as if he had heard this voice somewhere before.

"Tell me, how do you want to die?"
