DD2—Chapter 43: Victory
"Senior Meng, let's catch up quickly."
Huo Yuhao's voice sounded in Meng Hongchen's mind again.
Meng Hongchen nodded, and then the flying soul guidance device on her body flapped again, taking Huo Yuhao directly to chase after Ma Rulong and Chen Fei.
On the other side, Xiao Hongchen also saw Li Yan's exit. At the same time, Huo Yuhao's voice rang in his mind: "Senior Xiao, your chance to fight back has come. Let's attack together!"
Hearing these words, a smile gradually emerged on Xiao Hongchen's face. Just now, he had been suppressed by the firepower of Ma Rulong and the other two. It could be said that he was beaten down by the three of them, which was undoubtedly a difficult thing for the always-proud Xiao Hongchen to accept. Therefore, when he heard Huo Yuhao say that he could fight back, he was undoubtedly extremely happy.
So the 128 soul cannons on his body once again fired a large number of shells, while Ma Rulong and Chen Fei dodged and attacked at the same time.
Meng Hongchen quickly flew above Ma Rulong and the other man, and then an ice-blue vortex appeared beside her, with a blazing red light at its center.
This was her fifth soul skill—Icefire
Venomdragon's Corkscrew!
Bang!
The ice-blue vortex swept directly toward Ma Rulong and Chen Fei. Ma Rulong and Chen Fei, who had been poisoned, were moving very quickly. When they noticed the arrival of the ice-blue vortex, they immediately activated their defensive soul guidance devices, erecting two soul guidance device shields on their bodies.
However, the next moment, the ice-blue vortex shattered the shields. This was a soul skill amplified by the Ultimate Ice, so its power was much greater than usual.
Soul masters with ultimate attributes can fight above their level, and Meng Hongchen's ice attribute had temporarily reached the level of Ultimate Ice under Huo Yuhao's enhancement.
This meant that Ma Rulong and the others were facing an Ultimate Ice soul master at the Soul King level!
"How is this possible? How could Meng Hongchen's fifth soul skill be so powerful? She is just a level 51 Soul King!" Ma Rulong's face showed shock. This scene was undoubtedly beyond his expectations.
It was too late for him to activate the Invincible Shield. After all, activating the Invincible Shield required not only the active infusion of soul power but also time. Therefore, at that moment, the trigger-type defensive soul guidance device on his body was instantly activated.
A brand-new soul guidance shield opened up, continuously resisting the attack of the ice-blue vortex, but cracks slowly appeared on the shield.
Just as he was about to activate the Invincible Shield, a large number of soul guidance shells flew from behind him, accompanied by sharp whistling sounds, causing his soul guidance shield to shatter again.
Chen Fei, who was standing by, looked horrified. "Boss Ma!"
Boom!
The artillery fire roared, and an ice-blue vortex swept down. Jing Hongchen's figure suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, and a soul guidance shield quietly emerged, directly blocking the attacks.
Then Jing Hongchen walked out with Ma Rulong and Chen Fei and said, "Okay, Xiao, Meng, and Yuhao, you won!"
After hearing these words, Huo Yuhao canceled the imitation illusion soul skill and then followed Meng Hongchen as they flew down from mid-air.
Looking at this scene, Xiao Hongchen was stunned.
No, why are you lying on Meng's back? Is it necessary to be so close during a game? Huo Yuhao, what on earth are you trying to do with his sister?
He was a little confused and about to ask something when he heard Jing Hongchen coughing violently. He looked in the direction of Jing Hongchen, who winked at him.
Xiao Hongchen immediately understood Jing Hongchen's meaning, and an expression of wanting to say something but stopping appeared on his face. He was also a little puzzled. Could it be that his grandfather wanted to match Huo Yuhao and Meng?
At this moment, Huo Yuhao got off of Meng Hongchen and said, "Senior, thank you for your help."
"It's okay. We are helping each other. To be honest, you have helped me a lot. The feeling of the ice attribute becoming pure is truly wonderful. It is worthy of being the Ultimate Ice!" A hint of melancholy appeared on Meng Hongchen's face.
"Ultimate Ice?" Ma Rulong was a little surprised. "Meng Hongchen, what do you mean? Could it be that Huo Yuhao has an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul?"
"Yes." Meng Hongchen nodded. "He is very powerful!"
Ma Rulong immediately looked at Huo Yuhao with a complicated expression. He said in a deep voice, "Your talent is far beyond my imagination. It was my fault. I apologize to you! You are indeed qualified to join the reserve team. If you were at the same level as me, I would not be your opponent in a one-on-one fight!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Ma," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
"You are too modest. With your talent, as long as you grow up, you will be the strongest person in the Sun Moon Empire! The future belongs to you!" Ma Rulong stated.
On the other hand, Xiao Hongchen felt that this news was like a bolt from the blue. He stared at Meng Hongchen. "Meng? Is he Ultimate Ice?"
"Yes, twin martial souls—one is the body martial soul, and the other is the Ultimate Ice martial soul. I'm sorry, you lost to junior brother Yuhao again!" Meng Hongchen said with a smile.
Xiao Hongchen felt like he had just taken 10,000 critical hits. He covered his chest, unable to accept it. "Doesn't that mean that he is the genius who only appears once in a thousand years in the Sun Moon Empire? And I am just the runner-up? I will never catch up to Huo Yuhao's talent in my entire life?"
"No, no, no." Meng Hongchen stretched out her white index finger, shook it, and said with a smile, "Xiao, you can't say that! Junior Brother Yuhao should be the first genius since the founding of the Sun Moon Empire! So change your perspective—those people who were more talented than you in history have all been suppressed. Do you feel any better now?"
"No!" Xiao Hongchen said with a gloomy face.
Jing Hongchen on the side said cheerfully, "Yes, Yuhao's talent is indeed unique to me, but you must keep this a secret. Otherwise, Yuhao may be captured and turned into a genius for other forces!"
"Okay, Master!"
"Okay, Dean!"
"Okay, Grandpa!"
Everyone spoke in unison.
In the following days, everyone worked on their tactics. Due to the talent and strength, Huo Yuhao displayed, even those who had initially opposed him no longer had objections. Instead, they welcomed Huo Yuhao to join the team.
Half a month later...
On the second floor of the library.
Huo Yuhao stood in front of the bookshelf, looking for books. He was preparing for the third-level soul engineer assessment and was also helping Electrolux find books.
In fact, in the Douluo Dalu World, for those who are skilled at cheating, the levels of soul engineers and soul masters do not always correspond strictly. For example, it does not mean that a Soul Master can only be at most a level 4 soul engineer.
In the original novel, when Huo Yuhao first entered Sun Moon as an exchange student, his soul power level was only level 40, but his soul engineer level had reached level 5. Of course, according to the description in the original novel, he should have barely achieved the level 6 standard of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy.
Of course, in terms of soul guidance, Shrek Academy is inferior to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. Thus, according to Sun Moon Empire standards, Huo Yuhao was at level five at that time, not barely level six.
"This book is 'Hypothesis on the Origin of Soul Rings.' Mr. Yi, haven't you always wanted to know more about soul rings lately? So, what do you think of this book?" Huo Yuhao asked.
