Douluo's ice devil Yuhao

In the VIP room on the second floor of Qingse Hotel, two young men, a man and a woman, were sitting in the room waiting.

The female young man was looking at the exquisite pastries on the table for reception with bright eyes, putting one piece after another into her mouth, chewing it with enjoyment, and reaching out to hand a piece to the man next to her.

"Ji Juechen, don't you want to eat a piece?"

The young man cherished his words like gold and said coldly: "I'm not hungry."

"Then I don't care about you." The young woman had long been accustomed to his stupid image. She rolled her eyes at him and continued to eat by herself without using anything.

The two of them were Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan after simple makeup.But even though the makeup temporarily concealed Ji Juechen's original handsome appearance, it could not hide his cold temperament at all. Coupled with the iconic and unique Tianwai Meteor Iron Sword in his arms, it was difficult to recognize him.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao pushed the door open and said hello with a smile.

"Brother Juechen, Senior Sister Ziyan, long time no see, how did you know I would be here?"

When the two of them saw Huo Yuhao, they were pleasantly surprised at first, but Jing Ziyan immediately retorted unhappily: "Yuhao, when you call Ji Juechen, just call me brother, and when you call me, call me senior. It seems a little unfamiliar, right?"

She scolded her at first, and then complained unhappily: "I haven't discussed with you in the past few months, and this guy Ji Juechen has been talking about you all day long."

As soon as Jing Ziyan finished speaking, she saw Ji Juechen standing up, holding his sword and bowing in salute, and said calmly: "Huo Yuhao, please enlighten me."

Sure enough, the first thing I did when we met again was this.

It's not a good thing to be talked about by such a guy.

Huo Yuhao murmured in his heart. He didn't want to wonder how these two people found this place. He wanted to get rid of the long-awaited challenge from this swordsman.

"Brother Juechen, there is no second result for always challenging me so bluntly. Do you still remember the agreement between us?"

Ji Juechen nodded gently: "Of course I remember, come on."

As he spoke, he focused his eyes, and the sharp sword intent accompanied by strong soul power instantly surrounded him, and at the same time he mobilized his own mental power to protect his head.

He said in a solemn tone: "Please enlighten me."

This was the agreement between him and Huo Yuhao. Before he wanted to challenge Huo Yuhao, if he couldn't withstand Huo Yuhao's soul impact, then there was no need to compete.Perseverance is commendable, but it means nothing to the outcome.

Ji Juechen just held the sword in both hands and did not hold the sword to attack, but the sharp sword intention filled the entire room.

Huo Qiuer did not introduce herself or participate in their conversation, but looked at it with interest and muttered at the same time: "What a strange power."

Jing Ziyan only thought that her appearance looked familiar, but she didn't think of it for a moment, so she simply put it down for the time being, and said to Huo Yuhao with some pride: "Yuhao, Ji Juechen's understanding of the sword's intention became even deeper during the competition. , has now broken through the soul saint level, and can definitely withstand your mental attack, you can't escape now."

Hearing that Ji Juechen had broken through the seventh ring, Huo Yuhao did not show too much surprise, but said casually with a slight surprise: "Oh? Brother Juechen has already broken through the seventh ring. What kind of soul beast is the seventh soul ring? How many years ago? of?"

Ji Juechen replied calmly: "I forgot, I just remember that it is black."

Huo Yuhao was speechless at this answer, but when he thought it was Ji Juechen, he felt it was quite normal.

It is hard to imagine that a soul master would be so careless about his own soul ring, and it is also the most important seventh soul ring.The quality of the soul ring of the seventh soul skill, the spirit avatar, has a huge impact on the soul master's strength, but Ji Juechen doesn't care.

Ji Juechen is such a strange soul master. His way of fighting never relies on the soul skills that soul masters are proud of, but only on his sword.

Huo Yuhao said again: "Brother Juechen, if you lose this time, how about you agree to a condition?"

Jing Ziyan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Yuhao, now Mingde Hall's rare metal quota has been reduced a lot. Ji Juechen has no rare metals to lose to you."

"Don't worry, I don't want rare metals this time. I just ask you to take care of things here." Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Ji Juechen nodded without hesitation: "I am willing to admit defeat."

Huo Yuhao was satisfied after hearing this answer. He exhaled softly, his expression suddenly condensed, and he looked directly at Ji Juechen.Strong and vigorous mental fluctuations suddenly emerged from him.

Even though he was well prepared, Ji Juechen's indifferent expression instantly turned pale.

The sharp sword intent that originally filled the VIP room seemed to have crashed into an overwhelming blizzard, being torn into pieces in the howling cold wind.Even the sharp sword made of meteorite iron is so insignificant in the face of the extreme cold power of nature.

Ji Juechen seemed to be frozen, standing in the room holding the sword in both hands, staring into Huo Yuhao's blue eyes, and remained silent for a long time.

Jing Ziyan, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but tremble. She was not Huo Yuhao's target, but she was still trembling under the crushing force of her mental power on the sword.

Huo Yuhao then chuckled and said, "Brother Juechen, are you okay?"

All the sword intent in the room had dispersed, with only a little bit left around Ji Juechen.Jing Ziyan, who came back to her senses, quickly looked at him, only to see a trace of blood flowing from the corner of Ji Juechen's mouth, who had no contact with Huo Yuhao.

"Huo Yuhao, your mental power has become stronger again."

Ji Juechen didn't care about the blood at the corner of his mouth, but looked directly at Huo Yuhao and said with certainty: "You have broken through to Soul Saint, right?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and replied: "Yes, I also made a breakthrough after the competition."

Ji Juechen's idea of ​​trying to withstand the soul impact through higher cultivation than Huo Yuhao failed, but he had no regrets or unwillingness at all, and just kept looking at Huo Yuhao with burning eyes.

Looking on the side, Jing Ziyan was completely dumbfounded, and her heart was like a turbulent sea.

Huo Yuhao also broke through to Soul Saint?
Once upon a time, when Ji Juechen broke through to the Soul Emperor, he was only the fourth ring, but now they are on the same starting line.

Ji Juechen wiped the corner of his mouth lightly, and said in a plain but firm tone: "I will continue to practice hard."

Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, "Brother Juechen, do you still remember the agreement we made just now?"

"If you are willing to admit defeat, just tell Juechen." Ji Juechen didn't care about the specific content of the agreement.

"We'll talk about that later."

Huo Yuhao was ready to return to the topic.

"Aren't you two in Mingde Hall? Why are you here looking for me?"

Ji Juechen didn't answer, and Jing Ziyan said with some embarrassment: "We also ran here immediately after hearing the news about the Northern League and you in Mingde Hall."

"Wow Yuhao, I didn't expect you to have such a big background and not tell us,"

Huo Yuhao really didn't know how to say good things to them. After thinking for a while, he deliberately asked: "But do you know what the consequences will be if you contact me in private like this?"

Jing Ziyan was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled face: "What are the consequences?"

Huo Yuhao said: "You are a member of Mingdetang. If you deliberately contact the Northern Alliance, are you afraid that you are not representing Mingdetang's intentions?"

"Be careful of bringing trouble to Mingdetang."

He was very sure that he didn't see these two people during the meeting at Jing Hongchen's house, which meant that they were not at that level yet.

Mingdetang and Jing Hongchen don't want to make their relationship with the Northern League public yet.Hearing this, Jing Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought it was something big."

She patted her chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, I've thought about it all. You see, we all put on makeup before going out."

As he spoke, Jing Ziyan pointed proudly at Ji Juechen's inconspicuous appearance.

Huo Yuhao looked at the sword in Ji Juechen's hand and fell into silence.

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, no, the entire continent cannot find anyone who wields this sword. Does this make-up mean anything?

Noticing Huo Yuhao's gaze, Jing Ziyan said displeased: "Do you think we are so stupid? This piece of wood is used in front of outsiders with the soul guide sword I made for him. You won't take out his precious knot." "

"That's good." Huo Yuhao felt relieved and looked at Ji Juechen with a malicious look.

Jing Ziyan glanced at Ji Juechen resentfully, and complained one after another: "Mingdetang is very busy now, but this guy doesn't know how to make soul tools, so he can't help him with anything, and no one will answer him. Even if you ask him to stay with you for two days, I will be happy to be in peace and quiet."

Ji Juechen held his sword in his hand and was indifferent to Jing Ziyan's accusation.

"It's not difficult. The main reason is that our Northern League has just arrived in Mingdu and has an unstable foundation. We are in urgent need of manpower." Huo Yuhao said, "The industries under the Yuanxi Water League need manpower to manage, but..."

He changed his tone and said in a deep voice: "You also know that the competition for the industries of underground forces is sometimes quite cruel. For example, I see that the Aodu Chamber of Commerce has shown signs of making moves recently."

Ji Juechen had heard what he meant, but he just asked coldly: "Will there be a strong person on the other side?"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand quickly: "I don't know. I also said there are just signs."

Ji Juechen said calmly: "If the strong person on the other side takes action, no need to say anything, I will go there."

Huo Yuhao hadn't given any instructions yet, but Ji Juechen was already impatient, which made him feel helpless.

Jing Ziyan immediately became worried: "Ah... Aodu Chamber of Commerce, I heard that there are several strong soul warriors in their association, and it seems that there is a ninth-level soul master from the military behind them..."

"Contra..." Ji Juechen murmured in a low voice without any fear, and there was even a hint of expectation in his eyes.

In Sun and Moon College, he has always been the leader of the actual control soul guidance department, but his opponents have always been other students, and he has never fought against an eighth-level or ninth-level soul master.

The chat gradually ended, Ji Juechen slowly turned his eyes to Huo Qiuer.

He saluted and asked calmly: "May I ask if you are Huo Qiu'er?"

Hearing Ji Juechen say this name, Jing Ziyan slapped her thigh and said in surprise: "I remembered, she is the Huo Qiuer from the previous competition. Why are you here?"

Huo Qiuer raised an eyebrow and sneered: "Have you finally noticed me?"

She shocked the Mingdu audience so much at the Soul Master Competition, and it was normal for the two of them to recognize her when they met for the first time.

But these two people clamored to challenge Huo Yuhao as soon as they entered the door, and they didn't care about her as the fourth person at all, which made Huo Qiuer angry and funny.

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment when he saw the reaction of Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

broken……

Ji Juechen walked up to Huo Qiu'er again, holding the sword in both hands, and said, "I have heard about Miss Qiu'er's heroic appearance in the soul master competition. I wonder if I can ask Miss Qiu'er for advice?"

As expected, this sword madman challenged Huo Qiuer again when they met for the first time.

Huo Qiuer did not agree or refuse immediately, but narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Ji Juechen.

Ji Juechen has broken through to Soul Saint, but this is not the reason for her to be afraid.With her inner pride, she would never run away from such a challenge.

Just when Huo Qiu'er was about to agree, Huo Yuhao waved to the two of them impatiently: "Okay, okay, there will be an auction in the Golden Hall at night, and there is no place for you to fight in the hotel now."

"Brother Juechen, you should go back to Mingde Hall and report to the Master of Hongchen Hall first. It's not polite to come out without authorization like this."

Ji Juechen's eyes were blazing, but Huo Yuhao dismissed him like this, so he still nodded, saluted Jing Ziyan, and left Qingse Hotel together.

"What a weird human being." Huo Qiuer recalled the unique sword intent in Ji Juechen and frowned.

"It's okay to be weird, normal is not normal for him."

Huo Yuhao cursed.

"Looking at you, you are actually quite impatient with him." Huo Qiuer asked doubtfully, "But you don't reject him?"

Huo Yuhao was silent for a while and said calmly: "It's true that I'm a bit annoyed, but in fact, from the bottom of my heart, I still admire brother Juechen."

"Huh? How do you say this?" Huo Qiuer couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"There is a legend about the sword madman circulating in Sun Moon College. This is a human being who cannot be measured by common sense." Huo Yuhao said with some emotion, "Do you know what level his innate soul power is?"

"He is now in his 30s and [-]s. If he can reach Soul Saint cultivation level, he should be at least level [-] or [-]." Huo Qiuer speculated.

"No." Huo Yuhao shook his head and spit out a number that Huo Qiu'er couldn't believe, "Only level three."

"Level three?" Huo Qiuer was stunned.

"Yes, there are only three levels." Huo Yuhao continued, "It is said that when he was eight years old, he reached the tenth level. He walked alone into a gathering place of soul beasts and hunted a century-old soul beast with his own sword."

He paused and added emphasis.

"He was alone, no outside help."

Huo Qiuer was silent, and it took a long time to recover from the shock: "It's unbelievable, how did he practice so fast?"

Huo Yuhao said lightly: "His personal statement is that he practices swordsmanship and cultivates his sword intention to the extreme, but no one knows the real situation. But in any case, this is the first person I have seen since I came to this world who can truly rely on his own strength. He is a man who changed his fate against the odds, so even if he is somewhat annoying, I will always have the greatest respect for him."

After thinking for a moment, Huo Qiu'er asked, "If you hadn't met them, would you have taken this path? Did you think the same way when you went to the Star Dou Forest alone?"

Huo Yuhao's tone suddenly turned pessimistic: "Humph, who knows, my innate soul power is only level one, which is two levels worse than level three. I'm afraid no matter how hard I try, the possibility of success is slim. Of course, as for me, I'm still Very confident, but I don’t like using swords very much, so I can’t develop his swordsmanship like him.”

Huo Qiuer asked: "Don't you humans often say, 30 years to the east of Hedong, 30 years to the west of Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty?"

"This sentence puts too much emphasis on subjective initiative and ignores the environment and objective conditions."

Huo Yuhao's tone suddenly became joking, and he shook his head helplessly: "But I believe that the person who said this still recognizes the importance of environment and innate conditions."

"Because he only dares to say 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi."

"I dare not say that Henan will be in 18 and Hebei will be in 18."
