Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 7: The Second Soul Ring

However, Huo Yuhao, with his spiritual detection, noticed something was amiss. The Blood Soul Boar's weakness wasn't as severe as it appeared, and Huo Yuhao, sensitive to spiritual power, sensed its rapid increase.

Sure enough, when the Emerald Demon Bird was about five meters away from the Blood Soul Boar, several red beams shot out from the boar's back towards the bird, their speed no less than that of the Emerald Demon Bird.

"Clang, clang, clang." The red beams collided with the Emerald Demon Bird's beak, producing a series of metallic sounds. However, the red beams were merely the Blood Soul Boar's back spines. Although their speed was remarkable, their power was limited. They were knocked away upon impact, only causing the Emerald Demon Bird to falter slightly.

However, for the Blood Soul Boar, this was enough. In that instant, a vast and boundless spiritual force erupted from the Blood Soul Boar. The Emerald Demon Bird, which had just approached, seemed to lose its strength instantly, only continuing forward due to inertia.

Hiding in the shadows, Huo Yuhao watched in amazement. Although the Blood Soul Boar was a pig, its intelligence was not lacking. It first engaged in multiple battles with the Emerald Demon Bird, repeatedly revealing flaws to injure itself and lower the Emerald Demon Bird's vigilance. Then, it deliberately feigned weakness, leading the Emerald Demon Bird to believe it was at its limit and attack. However, all of this was acting, to lure the Emerald Demon Bird into close range, and then use a full-force spiritual attack to kill it.

Regaining his thoughts, Huo Yuhao looked at the Blood Soul Boar lying on the ground, admiration arising spontaneously. Not to mention that this soul beast was only a little over three thousand years old, even most ten-thousand-year soul beasts were far inferior to its wisdom, and the fact that it could entangle with the Emerald Demon Bird for so long was enough to prove its strength. Huo Yuhao decided that it would be his second soul ring.

The Emerald Demon Bird's previous efforts were not in vain. The Blood Soul Boar was now truly in a state of exhaustion.

"Yuhao, you wouldn't want it as your second soul ring, would you? Let me remind you, I can't help you much. Let's just say, can you even kill it yourself? Even if you kill it, it's unknown whether your body can withstand the impact of a three-thousand-year soul ring. You need to think carefully," Tianmeng Iceworm reminded him.

"Don't worry, just watch." After speaking, Huo Yuhao's first yellow-gold soul ring flickered again. This time, Huo Yuhao used Soul Shock. Two golden beams shot out from his eyes straight towards the Blood Soul Boar.

"Roar." Sensing the danger, the Blood Soul Boar instantly opened its eyes, its eyes flashing red, and let out a low roar.

"Uh." Huo Yuhao was stunned. The Soul Shock he launched clearly hit the Blood Soul Boar, but it didn't react at all.

"Idiot, the Blood Soul Boar possesses the innate skill of a Spiritual Shock Field. All spiritual attacks have no effect on it unless your spiritual power is far greater than its," Tianmeng Iceworm's voice sounded again.

Learning from the past, Huo Yuhao wouldn't follow the Emerald Demon Bird's old path.

The light yellow soul ring flickered for the third time. Two straight beams of light shot out from Huo Yuhao's eyes again towards the Blood Soul Boar. Immediately afterwards, the energy ball that Huo Yuhao had prepared was also thrown out, flying towards the Blood Soul Boar.

As before, the Soul Shock still didn't cause any damage to the Blood Soul Boar, but Huo Yuhao didn't expect the Soul Shock to work anyway. What he wanted was to delay for a moment, forcing the Blood Soul Boar to activate its Spiritual Shock Field to resist his Soul Shock, during which the Blood Soul Boar couldn't move to dodge.

Accompanied by a loud bang, the energy ball exploded the moment it hit the Blood Soul Boar.

"Aww." The Blood Soul Boar let out a painful roar. For a moment, the areas on its body hit by the energy ball were torn and bloody, with even one spot exposing the bone.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao was very satisfied with his attack effect. This could be considered a solution to his shortcoming of lacking attack methods.

Tianmeng Iceworm in the spiritual sea was even more shocked. "What's going on? Don't you not have a soul ring? What was that attack just now? How could its power be so great?" Tianmeng Iceworm really couldn't understand. Of course, it knew what the four soul skills it had given Huo Yuhao were, but the soul skill Huo Yuhao had just used had no connection to it at all, and its power far exceeded the normal level of a one-ring soul master. It should be known that the Blood Soul Boar, with a cultivation base of over three thousand years, was difficult for ordinary human Soul Sovereigns to contend with.

"I had thought before that even if I became a soul master, my soul skills would mostly be in the spiritual aspect, so I envisioned this move to make up for the shortcoming of lacking physical attacks. I named it Rasengan, which can be regarded as a self-created soul skill," Huo Yuhao explained to Tianmeng Iceworm while continuing to release Rasengan to attack the Blood Soul Boar.

The principle of Rasengan can be said to be very simple, but the difficulty lies in how to control it precisely.

Returning to the present, although the Blood Soul Boar was very patient, the fierce battle with the Emerald Demon Bird had also consumed a lot of its stamina, and now it could only be passively beaten.

Although he steadily occupied the upper hand, Huo Yuhao still didn't relax his vigilance. A lion still needs to use all its strength to catch a rabbit, let alone this three-thousand-year soul beast.

The Blood Soul Boar wasn't completely without resistance. While barely shooting out the sharp spines on its back to fight back, it also slowly approached Huo Yuhao.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao knew that this guy wanted to repeat his old trick. Previously, it had lured the Emerald Demon Bird to get close and killed it with the Spiritual Shock Field, and now it wanted to use this trick to deal with himself.

Huo Yuhao slowly retreated, maintaining a certain distance from the Blood Soul Boar. He knew that the Blood Soul Boar's killing move definitely required the enemy to approach to a sufficient distance before it could effectively cause damage to the enemy, otherwise, the Blood Soul Boar wouldn't have been so patient before.
