Unrivaled Tang Sect

Chapter 722

As Shrek Academy"s largest exclusive region, the Beast Dueling Area was also the largest building in the academy. It covered an area that was greater than the all of the Martial Soul Department cla.s.sroom blocks, dormitories and Shrek Plaza combined. Huo Yuhao and He Caitou jogged over there.

"Greetings to Dean Xian, Dean Qian and Teacher Gong. Teacher." The two of them greeted everyone, including Fan Yu.

Gong Changlong had a deep impression of Huo Yuhao. When Huo Yuhao imitated the aura of a hundred thousand year soul beast, he had caused widespread fear among the soul beasts in the Beast Dueling Area, and they literally s.h.i.+t and p.i.s.sed themselves. It took a lot of time to clear all that up.

Gong Changlong furrowed his brows and he asked, "Dean Xian, Old Qian, are the two of you both certain that you want to do this? How old are these two kids? What if something happens?" 

Xian Lin"er said in a deep voice, "Elder Gong, how can we test their limits if we don"t do this? Their potential and abilities can only be fully unleashed in a life and death situation."

Huo Yuhao and He Caitou were stunned as they heard Dean Xian. Wasn"t this just a test? Why did it involve a life and death situation?

Gong Changlong said, "I hope that the Soul Tool Department doesn"t cause any trouble. I don"t agree with this. I need to be responsible for these students" safety."

Xian Lin"er took out a token of made of some unknown material. The token was lush blue, and contained a spinning blue halo.

"Elder Gong, the Sea G.o.d"s Pavilion has already given approval for the Soul Tool Department to begin the Ultimate Soldier Plan. All resources in the academy must be duly allocated according to their wishes. Please begin with what we agreed on just now."

Xian Lin"er was one of the two most authoritative deans in Shrek Academy. His words carried great weight.

Elder Gong"s expression changed greatly when he saw the lush blue token. He didn"t speak any further, and he turned around before leaving. The Sea G.o.d"s Writ was Shrek Academy"s highest-ranked token. It could only be given out during the conference held within Sea G.o.d"s Pavilion. It could only be used temporarily, and had to be returned to the Pavilion afterward.

One who held the Sea G.o.d"s Writ could move all Shrek Academy"s resources, which included recalling graduated students and re-allocating Shrek City"s human, material and financial resources. Apart from Elder Mu, everyone had to listen once the Sea G.o.d"s Writ was revealed. Even Elder Xuan was no exception. If something special happened, only Elder Mu could retrieve the token before the user completed his mission.

Huo Yuhao and He Caitou didn"t know the significance of the Sea G.o.d"s Writ. They were a little nervous now. What exactly was the test about?

Xian Lin"er nodded at Fan Yu, "Fan Yu, tell them about the test."

Fan Yu said, "Caitou, Yuhao, we"ll test the limits of your abilities later. The two of you must not hold anything back in this test. During this test, I will keep adding soul beasts to deplete all your powers. The test is only over when you lose all ability to fight any further. The soul beasts will not be merciful on you. We"ll be ready to step in anytime, but we can"t guarantee that no accidents will happen."

"That"s why you must try your best to protect yourselves during the entire test. The longer you persist, the more soul beasts you"ll encounter. This will also enhance your scores in the test. You can kill soul beasts during this test; do not have any misgivings. Besides a restriction on Yuhao"s Imitation, which will be that he is not allowed to imitate a hundred thousand year soul beast"s aura, and Caitou"s use of stationary soul tools, both of you can use whatever abilities you have. The first requirement of an Ultimate Soldier is to be able to protect yourself under all sorts of conditions. You must keep this in mind. Go on to the center. The soul beasts will appear from anywhere, and there"ll be no start signal. Let me see how good you are."

"Yes." Huo Yuhao acknowledged resolutely just as He Caitou was feeling anxious. Huo Yuhao was filled with fighting will when he thought of Elder Mu"s expectations, Teacher Fan Yu"s hopes for both of them and Senior He Caitou"s sacrifice. He wanted to work hard, fight and give his all to improve himself.

He Caitou also gathered his emotions and walked towards the center of the Beast Dueling Area with Huo Yuhao.

As he walked, He Caitou said softly, "Little junior, what"s our plan?"

Huo Yuhao pondered for a while before saying, "Senior, I"ll be the one who mainly fights while you cover me. You"ll attack based on the directions given by my Spiritual Detection. Control your own attacks and try to retreat after each strike. I believe that we won"t be facing just one soul beast in this test. We need to conserve our energy and soul power."

He Caitou answered readily, "Alright, I"ll follow your instructions." As the test was about to start, they started to become excited. They had managed to survive the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament. How difficult could this test be?

"Here they come." Huo Yuhao shouted and turned around. He s.h.i.+fted his feet two steps and blocked He Caitou.

A wolf-like soul beast that was covered in black fur had leapt towards them quietly. It even seemed a little illusory as it leaped.

It was a Spectre Wolf, a lightning-quick soul beast with extreme dodging abilities. This Spectre Wolf"s forehead had a lock of golden hair, which signified that its cultivation was beyond a thousand years.

3 white soul rings rose from Huo Yuhao"s feet. His eyes lit up, and a dim golden light flashed. His Spiritual Detection Sharing was initiated, covering 100 meters around him. A very clear blueprint appeared in He Caitou"s head. Huo Yuhao immediately reduced the area that his Spiritual Detection covered to save his soul power.

He had no w.a.n.g Dong, Haodong Power or Golden Light to aid his recovery. He had to depend on himself and He Caitou.

The Spectre Wolf had already burst in front of them in this short period of time. He Caitou"s body rang with clanging noises, and 12 small soul tool cannons appeared on him. He immediately chose his soul tools based on his experience and Huo Yuhao"s advice to retreat after attacking.

The thousand year Spectre Wolf didn"t leap at them directly. As it realized that it was less than 10 meters away from Huo Yuhao, its body shook a little, and two other Spectre Wolves appeared on its left and right. There were now 3 of them that were coming from different directions. 2 of them went for Huo Yuhao, while the remaining Spectre Wolf went for He Caitou.

This was the Spectre Doppelganger, an innate soul skill of the Spectre Wolf. Only one of the doppelgangers was real. The other two didn"t have any true offensive abilities. Not only was this innate skill useful, but it was also quite effective. If not for the fact that soul masters couldn"t unleash their soul skills with this skill, the Spectre Wolf would have already been extinct. Even so, thousand year Spectre Wolves were soul beasts that many beast soul masters liked to choose.

Huo Yuhao also moved as the Spectre Wolf turned into 3 different figures. He used the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to turn illusory as well.

His abilities had benefited from an all-round increase as his cultivation went above three rings. His speed became extremely rapid. Along with the changes to his body by the Life Guardian, he was like a hunted panther escaping quickly as he burst out.

His figure flashed, and he reached the Spectre Wolf on the left. His right hand slapped the head of the Spectre Wolf directly.

He struck at a very opportune time. It was in exactly the same moment that the Spectre Wolf jumped out. The Spectre Wolf couldn"t change direction anymore, and only lifted both its front legs to claw at Huo Yuhao. At the same time, it tried to bite Huo Yuhao"s right hand.

However, it was doing this based on its calculation of Huo Yuhao"s arm length and the speed of his strike. At this instant, 5 long dark golden blades suddenly appeared at the tips of Huo Yuhao"s fingers.

They increased in length until they were a foot long, meaning that Huo Yuhao"s reach had also increased by a foot. His strike landed on the Spectre Wolf"s head, and the sharp, dark golden blades stabbed into its forehead. Huo Yuhao exploited its momentum to lift its body until it was almost perpendicular to the ground. The Spectre Wolf"s claws didn"t manage to strike him. Huo Yuhao used his right arm"s strength to propel his body into the air and suppress the Spectre Wolf.

The Spectre Wolf screamed pathetically and was immediately killed by the dark golden blades that had pierced its head.

He Caitou didn"t move from his position, and the other two Spectre Wolves leapt towards him and Huo Yuhao. But they were instantaneously turned into b.a.l.l.s of grey fog before they disappeared.

The Spectre Doppelganger was a joke in front of the Spiritual Detection. How could Huo Yuhao be tricked?

Huo Yuhao used his left hand to hit the Spectre Wolf"s head and flip himself over. The Spectre Wolf"s body was struck to the ground and remained motionless. Not even a single drop of blood flowed out from the wolf. There was only a purple soul ring.

"Fan Yu, you"ve developed a new close-combat soul tool?" Qian Duoduo was stunned. He had already ascended to the stage with Xian Lin"er and Fan Yu to watch the battle in the Beast Dueling Area.

Fan Yu was also puzzled. "No! I don"t even know what that dark golden blade is. Did he develop it himself?"

Qian Duoduo said, "That"s impossible. Wolves are like dogs. Their heads are very tough, although their bodies are very weak. The skull of the Spectre Wolf is the toughest part of its body. Although this thousand year Spectre Wolf isn"t defensively sound, its skull is still quite strong. But it was pierced so easily by Yuhao. I"m afraid even a Cla.s.s 5 or 6 close-combat soul tool wouldn"t be able to do that. How would it be possible for him to even create one, much less use it?"
