Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 72 It’s Snowing

"Boss, it's holiday time now, are we really going to be able to wait for him? Did he just go straight home when he left?"

In a dense forest outside Shrek City, several Soul Kings dressed in black and masked gathered together in meditation. One of them couldn't hold back any longer and asked the leader, who was squatting on a treetop, a question.

"What can I do? I can only keep waiting!"

The leader retorted impatiently, his eyes turning cold: "That brat dared to do such a thing to the young master, he deserves to pay the price! No matter when he returns, I'll be here waiting for him!"

If it was just a matter of defeating the young master and causing him and the Duke's mansion to lose face, then it wouldn't be a big deal; at most, it would be a one-time exception.

But he actually dared to deliberately humiliate me in public...

Tolerable or unbearable!
"It just so happens that we're on holiday right now, so Shrek Academy won't be concerned about the safety of their students. As long as we intercept him outside the city... this little brat who's not even in the Fourth Ring Road is no match for us, is he?"

The leader coldly ordered, "Remember, breaking hands or feet is fine, but don't kill him! He still needs to be taken back to vent the young master's anger, so he can't be left without a few lively, energetic ones."

"…Yes!"

……

"He has murderous intent."

Huo Yuhao, who was speeding along the road using the Ghost Shadow Tracks, suddenly paused, then resumed his original speed.

Even without activating his mental detection, he could vaguely sense a dangerous, pricking sensation, a sense of crisis that could threaten his life.

"Is it the Soul King?"

After carefully sensing it, Huo Yuhao's eyes sharpened again: "...No, it's the Soul Emperor!"

Don't underestimate him just because his current soul power cultivation is only level 32. If a real fight breaks out, his physical and mental strength alone, which can overwhelm many Soul Kings, will allow him to easily deal with a Fifth Ring Soul King.

Those who can pose a threat to him must be of a higher level!

"coming…"

As their target appeared, the leader, hidden in the shadows, narrowed his eyes and led his men in a surprise attack at dusk: "Attack!"

In an instant, six dark figures of varying strength rushed out of the dense forest, their martial spirits possessing them almost the instant they moved.

Five of them landed separately, surrounding Huo Yuhao in the center of the road, while the remaining leader reached out a hand covered in soul power to grab his neck, intending to strike him dead in one blow.
"Come with us obediently, kid... huh?"

The Soul Emperor was suddenly stunned. His grabbing hand actually passed right through 'Huo Yuhao' in front of him and hit nothing.

The expressions of the five people around them changed instantly: "It's an illusion!"

The leader's expression turned even uglier as he turned to look at the distant city gate: "Damn it, I never expected him to have such tricks up his sleeve!"

They can actually create such realistic phantoms to act as bait...

What made him even more uneasy was that since this person was able to do such a thing, he must have noticed their ambush in advance.

This level of perception is beyond the fourth ring road!
"It seems we'll have to return empty-handed this time..."

A hint of resentment flashed in the leader's eyes.

Logically speaking, that kid should be almost at the academy gate by now...

"what?"

Someone in the assassination team exclaimed in surprise and reached out, only to find a chill seeping into their palm.

"This is--"

The leader stared blankly as the already dim sky gradually darkened, his gaze following the scattered snowflakes, then slowly filling with astonishment and shock: "Snow?"

At the same time, all the residents of Shrek City trembled slightly, feeling a sudden chill. Then, in the middle of summer, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Countless families opened their doors and windows to look in astonishment.

"Well…!"

The figure, sitting cross-legged by the lake, engulfed in violent flames, suddenly trembled. A clarity appeared in his chaotic eyes as he raised his hand to look at the snowflakes falling onto his wrist.

Looking up again, the entire Poseidon Lake was covered with ice and snow. If it weren't for the slight warmth remaining in the lake water, it would probably be covered with a thin layer of ice by now.

"Snowing."

The old man, who hadn't rested for long on the recliner, shifted his body, then lay back down helplessly, looking at Feixue with a hint of resignation.

Something is obscuring the source of this commotion.

"These are turbulent times..."

Moon let out a long, wistful sigh.

……

"—You're looking for me?"

Just as the leading Soul Emperor and the other five stood there in astonishment, a soft voice sounded from the side, accompanied by a puff of cold white breath.

The group turned around at the sound and saw a young figure emerge from the air, walking out amidst wisps of mist, leaving a trail of icy blue shadows behind him.

With each step, the chill beneath your feet condenses into ice crystals, leaving behind a path of slowly growing ice clusters.

"You...you're that kid!"

The leader exclaimed in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Twin Martial Souls? There's such a formation... the legendary Ultimate Ice?"

This child cannot be kept!

"Hurry up and kill him!"

With a panicked shout, the leader unleashed six spirit rings and charged forward, his subordinates launching a full-scale attack in unison. "Hmph~"

Huo Yuhao silently raised his hand, and the vortex of soul power compressed within his body suddenly collapsed. The released soul power instantly filled his body and began to overflow outwards.

Exhaling a breath of intense, almost icy air, Huo Yuhao whispered, "Di Hantian..."

"boom!"

The massive blizzard surged forth like an explosion, engulfing the six people before them. Countless tiny ice crystals and fluffy snowflakes that obscured their vision all exuded a fierce and deadly intent within this chaotic torrent.

The wind and snow swirled again, carving out a icy, snowy realm isolated from the outside world, revealing six people whose bodies were covered in frost and even had tiny wounds all over them.

"hateful!"

One of the Soul Kings instantly flew into a rage, unleashing his Soul Skill by spreading his wings. His figure moved with lightning speed, leaving a trail of afterimages as he charged toward Huo Yuhao.

A murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

At such close range, this kid didn't even have time to unleash his soul skill!

"Om~"

Just as this person rushed within arm's reach, a dense green light suddenly surged from Huo Yuhao's body, and the already profound chill seemed to reach the ceiling, rising up by an extremely faint sliver.

The next instant, a shimmering emerald light suddenly burst forth from his body, blasting the Soul King in front of him squarely! Instantly, it shattered his protective soul power, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood filled with icy crystals.

Hyotei arrives…

The Wrath of the Ice Emperor!
"Qiang!"

With another flick of his fingers, an ice-blue sword blade materialized in mid-air and slashed down, instantly freezing the very air it passed through.

"brake--"

Even though the Soul King tried his best to turn and dodge, the cold sword still slashed off his arm close to his shoulder. Ice crystals instantly appeared on the cut surface, and a chilling aura seeped into his body, turning into streaks of icy blue that climbed up his neck.

"Bang~"

The mangled corpse, frozen solid in mid-air, crashed to the ground, exploding into a cloud of shattered ice that scattered in all directions.

"One."

Huo Yuhao murmured, his gaze calmly sweeping over the five people who stood frozen in place, before taking a small step back.

The blizzard suddenly intensified, and the dazzling, radiant light of the ice and snow engulfed everything in sight.

"eclipse--!"

In the midst of the wind and snow, another person felt a sharp pain in his chest, and looked down in astonishment at the needle piercing his body.

Looking in the direction of the tail, the figure cast a blurry shadow through the wind and snow, only the eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

"Pong!"

As he finished, countless green ice crystals burst forth from his body, rapidly growing in all directions and forming huge star-shaped ice spikes that lifted him up and held him in mid-air.

"two……"

Death has vanished once again.

Beyond sight, only the faint echo of footsteps remains.

　The final result was that there were actually four gaps between 99 and demigods.

　　Comparing it to the three levels of Dou, I'm speechless.

　　Demigod = Quasi-god!
　　So what is the actual difference? Using a level 11 ray for comparison, a demigod is 2 to 2.6 times stronger.
　　 What?

　　The six-tier gap is more than doubled. Now you understand how ridiculous this "Divine Weapon Stacking Box" is, right?
　　—

　　Second, the original map

　　Due to the extreme increase in human combat power, the plot logic has become somewhat flawed, and the soul beasts have absolutely no chance of resisting. If a bunch of 90-year-old ferocious beasts were to suddenly appear like in Douluo Continent II, it would be criticized again.
　　So Buddha waved his hand—

　　The combat power of all soul beasts has been increased!

　　Added Bloodline Bonus!
　　Ultimately, this resulted in the third-generation Douluo Continental Strategist, whose stacked soul tool possessed several times the power, whose battle armor amplified their abilities, and whose spiritual realm was enhanced, being completely outmatched by soul beasts of the same rank using a single-handed spiral attack.

　　It might even lead to fantastical scenes where a single-word battle armor is equivalent to ten thousand years of experience, and a six-ring warrior is being suppressed by a ten-thousand-year-old warrior.

　　(Don't talk about soul skills. In Douluo Continent II, fighting is purely about a lot of basic attacks interspersed with skills. It's a warrior, not a mage. Not having skills doesn't prevent you from fighting.)
　　Especially in the later stages, skills below 100,000 years old are not very useful; fighting relies on fancy basic attacks plus self-created skills.
　　—

　　Third, praising the protagonist

　　Under this extraordinary standard, all races related to the protagonists of Dou Di Zhuan 3 and 4 were suddenly granted unparalleled combat power, causing the legendary bound king, Lao Huo, to experience a tenfold increase in combat power.

　　At the same time, because Chui San is the absolute mission of the Douluo Universe, the characters from Douluo One have also risen in status...

　　Di Tian and Tang San, these two bound entities, directly led the entire Dou Dizhu II and Dou Dizhu I teams to ascension (Happy).
　　—

　　In conclusion, changes in combat power can be addressed with secondary settings patches, and I will try my best to justify the unfinished power inflation by San Shui. If it cannot be justified, that is his problem, not mine.

　　...
