Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 24 Huo Yuhao's Artificial AI
Facing Huo Yuhao in front of him.

Ultimately, Lu Jun was still a little nervous.

His aura of oppression was just too strong.

There's no way around it; at least he was a protagonist of the previous era.

It's really tragic.

At such a young age, he ran into a cunning old fox like Tang San.

Among the three options—treating him to a meal, beheading him, or taking him in as a dog—Tang San successfully took Huo Yuhao in as a dog.

Oh wait, that's the original work, isn't it?

Now, influenced by his own actions and the butterfly effect, it seems that Huo Yuhao has not become a god.

Although I don't know why, but...

He didn't want to follow in Huo Yuhao's footsteps.

The thought that the Tang Clan was now also after him made Lu Jun take a deep breath and slowly raise the Ice Abyss Sword in his hand.

Huo Yuhao raised his head, as if he possessed a soul.

"Level 31 Control-Attack Type Battle Soul Master." Huo Yuhao's voice was so gentle it didn't sound like a virtual being. "Please enlighten me."

I feel like this human-machine interface is in front of me...

It's quite like an artificial intelligence; it's clearly more advanced than the others.

Is technology really that advanced?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Huo Yuhao's figure in front of him suddenly blurred.

Is it psychological interference?
Lu Jun immediately focused his attention and activated his mental energy.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with golden light.

In an instant, Lu Jun was sent flying backward as if struck by lightning, and the Ice Abyss Sword slipped from his hand for the first time.

He forcefully twisted his body in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground. When he looked up, he saw that Huo Yuhao was just standing in the same spot, and even his spirit rings had not lit up.

Just as Lu Jun landed and regained his footing, Huo Yuhao appeared in front of him, raising his hand to strike Lu Jun's chest.

Lu Jun reacted extremely quickly, crossing his arms to block, his muscles tensing, and frost condensing into a hard armor layer on his skin.

However, Huo Yuhao's palm suddenly changed direction in mid-air!
"Oops."

Lu Jun's heart tightened, but it was too late for his body to adjust.

Huo Yuhao's palm strike wasn't aimed at his chest at all, but rather...

"boom!"

A solid palm strike landed hard on Lu Jun's abdomen!
Lu Jun let out a muffled groan, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ice surface dozens of meters away, leaving a long trail behind him.

This made Lu Jun think of something.

Mental detection sharing!

Huo Yuhao possesses such a cheating soul skill, which is truly difficult to adapt to at first glance.

This soul skill can easily see through all his movements, intentions, and even signs of muscle exertion and soul power flow, allowing you to react in advance!
He could see through every single detail.

He braced himself with one hand on the ground, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes grew even sharper.

"To be honest..."

He finally understood.

Huo Yuhao's mental detection is practically a cheating device!

No wonder almost no one can beat him.

With such a powerful soul skill, who can defeat this cheater?
Lu Jun started cursing.

"This is one of the difficulties, and it's also why no one has been able to defeat Huo Yuhao's ancestor."

Inside the viewing hall, everyone held their breath, except for Qian Gu Zhangting, who remained calm.

"Huo Yuhao's ancestor's spiritual detection was like having a full-map cheat code."

"His every move has been read, how can he possibly win?"

Qian Gu Zhangting stared intently at the screen.

"What if he wins?" the core disciple who bet on Lu Jun's victory asked Qian Gu Zhangting.

"If he can win, I'll just eat him!"

Seeing the scene on the screen, Gu Yuena clenched her fists. Recalling that her opponent had also been Huo Yuhao, she knew better than anyone else that Lu Jun was facing a monster truly transcending the times.

He was the most outstanding Soul Master of the previous era, without exception, and he was the one who created the Spirit Pagoda and ushered in a new era.

On the battlefield, Lu Jun slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes grew colder.

"Since you can see through my movements..."

He raised his hand and summoned the Ice Abyss Sword, which had fallen to the ground, back into his hand.

Lu Jun slowly raised the Ice Abyss Sword, and the cold aura on the blade suddenly surged, and the first soul ring lit up.

"Then I'll make sure you don't have time to react!"

The realm of ultimate ice has fully erupted.

A ring of icy blue air burst forth beneath Lu Jun's feet, and the chilling tide of the Ice Abyss Domain spread wildly from him.

Thick ice crystals instantly formed on the ground, and the temperature of the entire environment plummeted to below zero degrees Celsius!
"Kakaka-"

The moment Huo Yuhao's boots touched the ice, a layer of frost quickly climbed up his trouser legs.

His movements visibly slowed down, each step feeling like wading through thick, icy slurry.

"The deceleration actually worked!" someone in the spectator hall exclaimed.

"That's impossible! Huo Yuhao's ancestor was also an expert in extreme ice. Could it be that Lu Jun's extreme ice is even above that of Huo Yuhao's ancestor?"

But the next second, the golden light in Huo Yuhao's eyes vanished, replaced by a jade-like emerald green light.

It belongs to Huo Yuhao's second martial soul, the Ice Jade Scorpion.

"It seems it's not the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion." Lu Jun guessed, guessing that ten thousand years ago, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm couldn't find the Ice Emperor and was wondering about it.

So they had to settle for second best and gave Huo Yuhao the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul.

Although it is still very strong, it is definitely not as good as the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

After using the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao's speed recovered somewhat, and the extreme cold power flowing through his body actually offset most of the suppression from the Ice Abyss Domain.

Dealing with Lu Jun's domain was proving somewhat difficult for him.

At this moment, despite both being ultimate ice martial souls, the difference in their strengths was immediately apparent.

Even if an attribute has reached its limit, there may still be minor differences.

Clearly, Lu Jun's martial soul quality is higher than Huo Yuhao's Ice Jade Scorpion.

Realizing that the battle could not be delayed any longer, Huo Yuhao began to quickly approach Lu Jun.

"Want to fight me in close combat?"

Lu Jun retreated rapidly, the Ice Abyss Sword drawing three azure arcs in front of him. Wherever the sword energy passed, the ground was suddenly whipped up by three-meter-high ice waves, like the fangs of a giant glacier biting towards Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao crossed his arms, and the illusory image of the Ice Jade Scorpion charged forward. The first wave of ice crashed into the pincers and shattered into dust, but the second and third waves followed one after another.

He was forced to retreat seven steps, each step carving deep furrows into the ice.

Having regained his footing, Huo Yuhao waved his left hand and activated the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone Skill, Ice Explosion!
The ice element belonging to Huo Yuhao turned into bombs, and even the ice layer under Lu Jun's feet suddenly shattered in a series of explosions.

"Tsk, it even has a soul bone, isn't that pretty good?"

Lu Jun had no choice but to interrupt his sword strikes and leap into the air to avoid the explosion.

But Huo Yuhao had already seized this fleeting opening. The scorpion tail phantom flashed behind him, and he shot forward twenty meters like an arrow.

The Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul provided Huo Yuhao with high physical protection, allowing him to withstand the continuous onslaught of icy blue sword energy and forcefully advance.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's right arm was completely covered by scorpion armor, and diamond-like ice crystals shimmered with a chilling light at the joints.

The moment he threw his punch, his entire arm trailed a faint halo of extreme cold, and the air was frozen by the extreme ice, leaving behind tiny ice crystal trails.

This punch, carrying all of Huo Yuhao's deadly moves, caused the students in the spectator room to instinctively hold their breath.

With such a deadly attack coming so close, Lu Jun had no way to avoid it.

Just as the fist was about to touch Lu Jun's chest, seven azure ice walls suddenly rose from the ground.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Huo Yuhao's fist pierced through six layers of ice walls in succession, and his fist collided with the extreme cold ice, creating dazzling sparks.

When the final layer is broken through, the force of the punch has diminished by 30%.

Taking advantage of the moment, Lu Jun leaned back, and the Ice Abyss Sword drew a beautiful, icy blue arc from bottom to top.
