Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 118: Jiang Nannan's Hostility

Huo Yuhao hadn't interacted much with Jiang Nannan, but his impression of her was always that of a gentle older sister, except, of course, when it came to Xu Sanshi.

However, today Jiang Nannan's face was cold, with a hint of animosity in her eyes.

Huo Yuhao knew at a glance that this was another newbie successfully brainwashed by Shrek.

Shrek and the Body Sect had always been at odds, just like Yang Xu on the stage. Yang Xu didn't reveal lustful eyes like the animals offstage, but like Jiang Nannan, his eyes flashed with coldness, as if the two had some deep-seated hatred.

Huo Yuhao looked back at the team members beside him. Lin Kong and the others also wore expressions of hostility, which was normal considering that Shrek's Mu En had killed Du Bisi in the past and later forced the Body Sect to seal its mountain and retreat into seclusion. Their hostility was understandable.

"Brother, who do you think will win?" Meng Hongchen asked her brother from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's seating area. Although she was asking, she already knew the answer.

Xiao Hongchen leaned lazily on the seat, holding a crystal goblet in his hand. The goblet contained an expensive fruit wine, its liquid a purplish-red color. Xiao Hongchen first took a sip of the wine, not answering his sister's question, but rolling his eyes. "Aren't you asking the obvious? It's already not easy for Shrek to get this far."

Speaking later, Xiao Hongchen's tone carried a hint of a smile, "Our opponents are the Star Luo Royal Academy and the Body Academy. This year's Shrek isn't qualified to threaten us."

Ma Rulong, who was usually at odds with Xiao Hongchen, surprisingly didn't retort this time. The strength of the Shrek and Body Sect teams was obvious to all. It could be said that the Body Sect team was definitely one of the strongest contenders for the championship in this competition, while Shrek was just so-so, and it would be good enough if they could make it into the top three.

At this moment, everyone in the Sun Moon team was in a very good mood. The Shrek, which had been undefeated for thousands of years, was about to be pulled down from the altar. Although it was the Body Sect from the original Douluo Continent's Three Kingdoms that was taking down Shrek, Shrek's myth was ultimately going to be shattered.

Looking at his sister's infatuated appearance, Xiao Hongchen's mouth twitched uncontrollably. Women in love have no brains, and his sister was like this even before falling in love. He really didn't know what to say.

Xiao Hongchen turned his head away, indicating that he was not familiar with this infatuated woman.

On the stage, Jiang Nannan and Yang Xu had already begun to fight after a brief introduction. Huo Yuhao had seen Jiang Nannan's transformation before, only she now had an extra short tail and two rabbit ears on her head.

Yang Xu's transformation was even more unbearable than Huo Yuhao had imagined. After activating his martial soul, Yang Xu's body hair grew wildly, from one centimeter to ten centimeters, and then to one meter. It didn't stop there, it was still growing. The black long hair hung down from Yang Xu's body to the ground, and then spread out like a snake, until it reached a length of more than ten meters before stopping.

Jiang Nannan's soul power was currently at level 42, thirteen levels lower than Yang Xu's, and Yang Xu at level 55 already possessed a fifth ten-thousand-year soul ring. Everyone present could imagine that Jiang Nannan would likely not be his opponent.

"Tsk, this guy is really a complete savage." Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin. Yang Xu's appearance after transformation was even more unsightly than he had imagined, with long hair flying all over his body. The dense black hair gave people a creepy feeling, and people with trypophobia would probably faint on the spot.

Jiang Nannan belonged to a battle soul master somewhere between the agile attack system and the strong attack system. Logically speaking, the control system greatly restrained the agile attack system, and the two had a soul power gap of thirteen levels. Huo Yuhao originally thought that this battle should end quickly.

But he didn't expect the situation to be at a stalemate. Because of the previous matches, both sides had a certain understanding of each other's soul skills to varying degrees.

Yang Xu only felt a black shadow flash before his eyes, and Jiang Nannan's phantom-like figure appeared behind him. Yang Xu was shocked, secretly thinking that she deserved to be a student of Shrek, with such fast speed.

It didn't end there. At the moment Jiang Nannan appeared, Yang Xu felt a huge force suddenly pressing down on him. Under the pressure of this force, Yang Xu felt his body as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he couldn't even dodge forward.

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Nannan's soft and boneless body climbed onto Yang Xu's sturdy back, and then slid upwards, her slender legs clamping towards Yang Xu's neck.

This was Jiang Nannan's usual first soul skill, Waist Bow, instantly increasing waist strength by 80% and flexibility by 30%.

Under the Waist Bow, even beast soul strong attack system and defense system soul masters with stronger physiques could not resist it, unless they surpassed Jiang Nannan by a large level.

And Yang Xu obviously did not belong to the above category. The hair martial soul could basically be confirmed to have limited enhancement to body strength. As long as Yang Xu's neck was locked by Jiang Nannan, Jiang Nannan was confident in instantly twisting the former's neck bones. Of course, she wouldn't do that.

In Jiang Nannan's vision, after clamping Yang Xu's neck, the latter would be thrown out by her. As the saying goes, a slow step leads to slow steps everywhere, and then she could rely on her speed advantage to give the opponent a set of combos.

At this moment, the audience could clearly see that the first two hundred-year soul rings among the four soul rings of two yellow and two purple on Jiang Nannan's body lit up with dazzling yellow light.

The opponent's soul power was thirteen levels higher than Jiang Nannan's, so how could Jiang Nannan dare to underestimate him? She launched a thunderous attack as soon as she made a move.

Jiang Nannan's second soul skill, Gravity Control, had the effect of increasing gravity within five meters, restricting the opponent's movements.

First using Gravity Control to prevent Yang Xu from escaping, and then launching the Waist Bow, Jiang Nannan's move was aimed at defeating the enemy with one blow.

Seeing that Jiang Nannan's legs were about to lock Yang Xu's neck, and then the latter would fall into a situation of being dominated by Jiang Nannan.

But, was it really that simple? A subtle and imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Yang Xu's mouth. In the next moment, he shrank his body, and Yang Xu rolled forward. This move not only perfectly dodged Jiang Nannan's Waist Bow, but also borrowed the latter's Gravity Control.

Although he looked a little embarrassed, Yang Xu used the simplest method to resolve Jiang Nannan's two major soul skills.

With her legs missing, Jiang Nannan did not dare to stay. Before her body landed, the third thousand-year soul ring on Jiang Nannan's body shone brightly with purple light. In the next moment, Jiang Nannan's figure disappeared from the spot.

Just in the instant after Jiang Nannan disappeared, a black net fell from the sky, and the falling position was exactly where Jiang Nannan was before.
