Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 46 Insult
"Hua Bin...we are..."

Zhu Lu's face was deathly pale; her memory was still stuck on the glance Huo Yuhao had given her just now.

She only remembered a strange flash of light before her consciousness was completely severed by a heavy hammer blow.

"Zhu Lu! You have to help me! You have to help me!"

Dai Huabin was clearly blinded by rage, his eyes bloodshot as he gripped her shoulders: "Look at me... You have to avenge me! Spirit Fusion... Quickly, Spirit Fusion! I want him dead!!"

"But I-"

Zhu Lu gave a bitter smile.

Huo Yuhao's mental attack has damaged her soul, and now even releasing her martial soul is difficult.

Given her current condition, activating the Martial Soul Fusion Skill would be an unbearable burden, and in severe cases, it could even keep her bedridden for several months.

"Snapped!"

Dai Huabin suddenly grabbed her wrist, his expression turning terrifying: "No buts! Are you really willing to watch me get beaten up like this?"

"I……"

Zhu Lu was speechless for a moment, and in the end, she could only helplessly lean against his chest and release her martial spirit.

The black and white soul energy then blended perfectly.

"Heh...heh hahaha..."

Holding Zhu Lu, Dai Huabin stood up and suddenly grinned maliciously. A terrifying killing intent, accompanied by the light of the fusion of martial souls, enveloped him. Black and white air currents swirled wildly around the two of them, converging into a powerful form.

A massive white tiger emerged from the vortex, its eyes, filled with bloodlust and slaughter, fixed intently on the scene.

"Huo! Yu! Hao!"

Swah——

A shimmering white light appeared with the sound, then vanished just as quickly.

The Netherworld White Tiger's newly formed body collapsed with a bang. Dai Huabin, who was in control of the soul skill, instantly coughed up blood from his mouth and nose and staggered back several steps. He had fully suffered the consequences of forcibly interrupting the fusion skill, and his soul power surged wildly and broke free from his control.

“Too slow~”

Huo Yuhao wiped the blood from the corner of his eye, a mocking look appearing on his face.

Soul impact is not invincible; if the difference in total soul power is too great, it may bring extremely serious backlash.

Of course, his mental sea is now as solid as a rock, and with Tianmeng, his tenant, helping to protect it, he can simply swallow the usual mental backlash and recover his energy in a week at most.

Trading a week of injuries for a satisfying revenge...

"Ah."

The light in Huo Yuhao's eyes shone even brighter.

"cough……"

Dai Huabin vomited blood in disbelief. The confidence he had kept deep in his heart suddenly cracked, and even the hatred in his eyes was diluted by the shock.

how come--

How could the Netherworld White Tiger be easily defeated! This is an attack that even a Soul King wouldn't dare to face!
This was our ancestor's trump card when he reached the pinnacle!

"This is impossible!"

Dai Huabin gritted his teeth, coughing up blood as he roared, "Netherworld... White Tiger!"

The White Tiger Martial Soul shone brightly, forcibly regulating the soul power within its body in an instant and restarting the Martial Soul Fusion. The powerful wind pressure that made even the Five Rings change color reappeared.

only.

puff~
This time it ended a point faster than before.

The two had just activated their fusion technique when a strange fluctuation of unknown origin disrupted Dai Huabin's soul power once again, triggering another round of internal injuries.

"What's going on?!"

It was as if he had suddenly lost control of his body; not only did he let his soul power run rampant, but he even almost lost his footing and fell to the ground...

Dai Huabin immediately looked at Huo Yuhao.

The latter casually put away his spirit ring and calmly mocked, "Still too slow. If you practice more seriously, you might be able to catch me off guard."

Mental interference!

So what if you can activate Martial Soul Fusion?

Even in a head-on fight, I have more than one way to forcibly interrupt your actions!
"Complete defeat."

The battle was so fierce that even Yan Shaozhe couldn't bear to watch any longer: "If he could have been more determined and focused, he might have been able to successfully resist the interference and release the weapon the second time... How could a descendant of the Dai family be like this?"

The White Tiger Martial Soul is something Shrek already possesses.

There was clearly a descendant of the Dai family in the inner courtyard, and he was the eldest son in name only.

How come he seems so mature? Even after being defeated by Ma Xiaotao for three hundred consecutive times, he didn't break down mentally. Instead, he became more and more courageous in battle.

You can't do it?

"Spoiled and pampered."

Qian Duoduo crossed his arms, his muscles appearing even more muscular: "If he can get through this series of hardships, he might grow."

If not.

What does that have to do with Shrek?
This kid is obviously going to return to the Star Luo Empire to succeed to the title of Duke in the future, and he can't possibly stay in the inner courtyard to do things for Shrek Academy, so why bother with so much?

"Alright, I'll be merciful and give you another chance."

Huo Yuhao wagged his index finger, took a few steps back to the edge of the field, and said, "Come on~"

"……you!"

Dai Huabin is like a proper wildcat; no matter how many times Huo Yuhao provokes him, he will instantly bristle.

Only this time.

In a daze, Zhu Lu spoke softly, her voice pleading, "Give up..."

She's already overdrawn her energy.

Each activation felt like a knife cutting into her soul, and there would always be a moment of utter collapse. "Give up?"

Dai Huabin gave her a chilling smile, his eyes flashing with undisguised murderous intent: "You also think... I'm inferior to him?!"

Finally, amidst the weary and tired gazes of the crowd, the Netherworld White Tiger appeared on the scene for the third time.

This time, however, it seemed to have broken through a certain boundary. A layer of blood red appeared in the black and white airflow, and someone's ferocious and crazy killing intent was actually manifested through the martial soul.

"The Evil-Eyed White Tiger, it turns out it also possesses hidden spiritual attributes?"

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, looking at the white tiger that was emitting blood aura with a strange expression, and inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity from its appearance.

I feel like I've seen this kind of aura in someone before...

"Huo Yuhao!"

The white tiger blinked its eyes, and as it approached with a ferocious aura, it spoke in human language: "Prepare to die!"

"Ah."

Just as the momentum was building, Huo Yuhao suddenly gave him a cryptic smile: "Looks like you really want this championship?"

Then, he saw the almost desperate look in the eyes of the Netherworld White Tiger.

Take a step back and step outside the circle.

"No--!!"

Dai Huabin roared, his eyes blazing with killing intent. The giant palm of the white tiger gathered all its soul power, determined to kill the enemy before him on the spot!

however.

"boom!"

A giant golden hand, radiating light, pressed down in the next instant. The mighty Netherworld White Tiger was pinned to the spot like a kitten.

"No...no no...this can't be!"

Dai Huabin struggled desperately with all his might, his tiger claws digging frantically, but he couldn't get even an inch outside the circle. The roars he let out were almost cries of despair.
"You come back here! I want you dead...you die...I'm going to kill you!"

"Huo! Yu! Hao!!"

……

The freshman competition has officially ended.

Although the process was quite exciting, the ending was incredibly absurd, leading some people to be unwilling to accept the result.

However, after intense discussions at the college and consideration of Huo Yuhao's enthusiastic suggestions,

In the end, Dai Huabin's team won the championship.

Zhu Lu was hospitalized in the infirmary due to exhaustion of both her mental and spiritual energy, and Cui Yajie had to take care of the injured person.

"..."

Dai Huabin, all alone and covered in bandages, walked step by step onto the stage.

Martial spirit, cultivation level, and even fusion techniques.

Everything he possessed that he could be proud of was smashed and mixed up in one go, and trampled underfoot like garbage.

The freshman competition was meticulously prepared over several months, and the championship was fought for with all efforts to gain the appreciation of the college's higher-ups.

They were all given to us by others, and discarded like worn-out shoes.

Rubbish.

"Although only the team leader went on stage to receive the award, let's still congratulate these three students!"

Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo clapped their hands amidst the extremely awkward atmosphere, their faces filled with complicated emotions.

The students below the stage, unaware of the truth, cheered and applauded, their shouts slapping Dai Huabin across the face.

Out of a desire to maintain confidentiality in selecting outstanding students, the freshman finals were only open to teachers. Little did anyone know that this well-intentioned rule would become the final blow to someone.

Each cheer from the crowd was thunderous…

Every congratulation...

Both were forms of slow slicing, and both made the bloodshot veins in Dai Huabin's eyes even more pronounced.

"...We hope everyone will give these three students more encouragement in the future..."

On stage, Du Weiren looked somewhat constipated as he stared at his speech, but he still forced himself to read out the last two words: "...Study!"

"puff!"

As if with the last bit of strength snapping a thread, Dai Huabin suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, completely lost consciousness, and collapsed off the stage amidst the screams of the crowd.

If we absolutely had to dig out his last thought before he fell into a coma.

That might be...

The ultimate insult.

　It's so hard to stay calm. I was typing and then I started laughing. Isn't it too cruel to treat him like this?

　　To summarize the composition and evolution of the combat power of Soul Masters in Douluo Continent (to redeem Sanshui's bugs).

　　Douyi
　　At this point, a Soul Master's combat power is composed of Soul Rings + Soul Bones + Martial Soul, and their physical body is composed of Soul Power + Physical Body. These five qualities affect the Soul Master's stats, resulting in:

　　Level barriers (e.g., the ninth ring requires two skills with a skill level of 30,000 + 70,000, while the eighth ring only requires one skill with a skill level of around 30,000 years).

　　Compass Panel (Minzhi Clan & Tang Dachui)
　　Easy to counter (Tang San was stunned by the Water and Fire Academy)

　　The super configuration has extremely strong cross-level capabilities (Tang San & Tang Dachui).

　　The cost of Martial Soul True Form is extremely high; activating it will result in death (Dugu Bo).
　　The Martial Soul Fusion Skill is a transformation skill that can last for a period of time (Netherworld White Tiger & Golden Iron Triangle & Golden Generation).
　　The titled Douluo, without a soul core, relentlessly cultivated his skills, accumulating a level gap that was even greater than that of a higher level (above 96, even Tang Dachui could barely advance).
　　Spiritual and physical cultivation has not yet begun, and physical bodies are generally weak (sacrificing soul beasts to achieve a divine body & Thousand-Blade Snow Guanyin Tears).

　　Without the Martial Soul Possession, combat power decreases significantly (referencing Zhao Wudi, it should decrease by two tiers).

　　The upper limit of the plane is about quasi-demigod. With a godhood, one can unleash demigod combat power (Guanyin's Tears vs. Qian Renxue & Tang Dachui's ultimate strike).
　　Dou Er
　　Soul Masters emphasize flexible and comprehensive development, forming a four-corner panel of Soul Rings + Soul Bones + Martial Soul + Soul Tools, and a triangular dimension of the body's spirit + physical body + Soul Power.
　　Pure support/control builds are extremely rare (Seven Treasure Glazed Tile is outdated); most builds combine offensive and defensive stats (Ling Luochen & Xiao Xiao).

　　Soul tools fill the gaps in the character panel (no further explanation needed).
