#388 - Almost Hurt Me (Two in One)

The whisper of the wind came to his ears. Huo Yuhao was above the endless clouds. Looking at the distant skyline gradually turning a faint orange-red, he could not help but let out a long sigh.

"Why did you two wake me up to watch the sunrise before daybreak? Do you want to fight?"

He turned around and glanced at Wang Dong'er and Qiu'er who had already released their martial spirits and looked eager to try. He asked helplessly, "If you want to test your strength after the improvement of your cultivation, why don't you two have a sparring match?"

"We've already had a sparring match. Thanks to having one more soul core than her, I was slightly better in the end."

Golden scales appeared on Qiu'er's body, and nine soul rings appeared one by one under her body. She spoke in a calm tone.

"But because both sides held back during the process and did not use their full strength, we decided to come to you together and test our limits."

It has been about a month since Zhang Lexuan achieved the Ultimate Douluo. During this month, the two of them also used the Qiankun Creation Pill to condense their second Yin-Yang complementary soul core, successfully advancing from level ninety-eight to level ninety-nine.

Among them, Qiu'er is the most exaggerated.

The golden dragon bloodline is known for its devouring ability. After absorbing Niu Tian's pure true dragon bloodline, both her own bloodline purity and overall strength have been greatly improved.

And relying on her explosive physical fitness and the martial soul fusion skill Dragon Roar of Destiny with 100% fusion degree, she successfully condensed the third Yin-Yang complementary soul core with the help of Huo Yuhao, just like Tang Wutong in her previous life, and became the first Three Soul Cores Limit Douluo in this life.

This was undoubtedly an explosive improvement for Qiu'er.

Take the example of the competition with Wang Dong'er mentioned earlier. Although both of them held back during the process, she was undoubtedly the more comfortable one.

Even though Wang Dong'er was able to use her twin martial souls at the same time with the help of the Yin-Yang complementary soul cores, and even though the quality of the Golden Dragon Spear could not compare to Wang Dong'er's Golden Trident, she still had an absolute upper hand during the battle.

It was precisely because of this that she asked Wang Donger to go find Huo Yuhao together, wanting to see where her current limits were.

However, when Huo Yuhao heard these words, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it.

So you guys should hold back against each other, but you should go all out for me, right?

The corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched, but he did not refuse.

"Okay, I'll just test out the capabilities of my new windbreaker."

Buzz——

As he finished speaking, he suddenly burst out with a strange wave, causing the faces of the two people in front of him to change suddenly.

In their perception, Huo Yuhao's entire aura gave people an illusory and elusive illusion. Although they could clearly see this guy standing in front of them, it was as if he was not in the same world as them.

Without hesitation, Qiu'er immediately activated the golden perception, but the effect was only slightly better. Under her mental detection, Huo Yuhao was like a signal that was good and bad at the same time, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing, constantly flashing in place.

After seeing the soul rings lighting up under the other person's feet, a solemn look flashed in her eyes.

This guy clearly didn't release any skills, but simply activating his martial spirit had already doubled his pressure. It was obvious that the gap between Huo Yuhao and the two of them had reached an exaggerated level.

She thought she could at least catch up with Huo Yuhao this time, but unexpectedly the gap became even bigger.

White gold, white gold, rose gold, orange, orange, orange, rose gold.

Not knowing what the two were thinking, as seven colorful spirit rings rose from under his feet, Huo Yuhao’s blue eyes were also covered by circles of light.

Considering that the Ice Emperor Martial Soul could greatly improve physical fitness and defense, and that it might be difficult for both of them to break through the defense of his dragon scales, Huo Yuhao simply went easy on him and chose to activate the Spirit Eye Martial Soul, which had almost no improvement on physical fitness.

He took out a windbreaker from the storage space and put it on, then blinked twice at the two of them.

"Are you coming one by one, or all together?"

The two of them looked at each other. After seeing the methods displayed by Huo Yuhao, the insignificant pride in their hearts had long since disappeared, and they summoned out the trident and golden dragon spear at the same time.

The idea of ​​two against one is self-evident.

In an instant, a face with a gentle smile crossed the space, came in front of Wang Dong'er, and stretched out his hand towards her.

If it were in the past, Wang Dong'er might have been thrown into disarray by this sudden attack, but since Niu Tian's sacrifice, she has fought with Qiu'er and Zhang Lexuan many times in the past six months in order to consolidate her rapidly increasing cultivation.

With more experience, her body reacted instinctively. She exerted force with her arms and swung the trident without hesitation towards Huo Yuhao's palm.

She did not release any soul skills except her martial soul's true body.

Even though the Light Goddess Butterfly spirit already possessed nine spirit rings, and the seventh to ninth spirit rings even came from a hundred thousand year old light-type spirit beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, Wang Donger knew very well that if her spirit skills were used against beings of the same level or with lower cultivation than herself, they might be very useful, but if she was facing Huo Yuhao, these skills would be, without exception, a burden.

After all, with this guy's physical fitness, a hundred thousand year soul skill might not even be able to break his defense, while Huo Yuhao could completely withstand the soul skill and counterattack during the gap between his attacks.

This is no different from exposing your weaknesses and allowing others to attack you.

On the contrary, with the weight of the golden trident and the sharpness of the blade, even a simple swing can bring unimaginable power, which is undoubtedly the best way to deal with an approaching enemy.

However, just when she thought that Huo Yuhao would be forced to retract his hand by this move, a strange scene occurred.

The cuffs of the windbreaker suddenly extended, as if a glove appeared out of thin air, wrapping around Huo Yuhao's palm.

The next second, a dull sound was heard, and under Wang Donger's astonished gaze, Huo Yuhao's palm easily caught her trident.

His palm was not cut by the sharp halberd blade as expected, nor was he repelled by the power contained in it, which was enough to seriously injure the average Extreme Douluo. He didn't even tremble during the whole process. He just grasped the halberd blade steadily without moving at all.

After the update, the windbreaker's defensive power was fully revealed at this moment. Even Huo Yuhao, the creator, couldn't help but show a surprised expression after seeing this scene.

Although there was no soul skill to support it, Wang Dong'er's cultivation was there. Coupled with the trident's own weight of 180,000 kilograms, the power of this move was obviously greater than the powerful blow when he and Qiu'er tore his clothes during the fight in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The attacks that were once unstoppable are now as easy to resist as eating and drinking, which is enough to show how greatly the windbreaker's defense has been improved.

Of course, this does not mean that the quality of the windbreaker has surpassed the Golden Trident.

The power of a divine weapon depends on the cultivation level of its user. Wang Dong'er, who is only an Extreme Douluo, naturally cannot fully unleash the power of the trident.

If the person standing in front of Huo Yuhao at this moment was Tang San from the God Realm, the result would be completely opposite. Not only would his windbreaker be broken, but even his palm would be split in two.

However, as a soul guide that he designed and made himself, being able to possess such defensive power was enough to make Huo Yuhao happy. After all, this windbreaker was not just a simple piece of protective gear. The core formation engraved on the silk thread also gave it a variety of powerful functions.

For example, the most exaggerated one is the core formation used to amplify cultivation. Huo Yuhao relied on the spiritual detection that evolved into a divine skill to meticulously carve out no less than a hundred formations on metals as thick as a hair. There are even linkage effects between them, which is so crazy that even Gu Yuena thinks it is insane.

It is conceivable that once it is fully amplified, this windbreaker will bring him a huge improvement.

However, doing so is not without cost. First, his body will gradually collapse like Ye Xishui's because he cannot bear the force. Second, the consumption is too great.

Even with the help of the martial soul fusion technique with Xue Di, his cultivation level is already equivalent to that of a priest, and it is estimated that he can only hold out for about thirty seconds.

Of course, this time will increase once he condenses the second soul core and absorbs and refines the power of Brother Tianmeng and several other souls.

Restraining his emotions, Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong'er, who seemed to have not yet come to her senses, and reached out to grab the other's shoulder.

Just at this moment, an indescribable and vast pressure suddenly descended from the sky and was precisely applied to every corner of his body.

Huo Yuhao’s body sank, and his movements uncontrollably slowed down by half a beat.

Although he had been prepared for the gravity field since the beginning of the battle, the improvement that the three soul cores brought to Qiu'er was still far beyond his expectations.

Caught off guard, he staggered involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, a long spear that seemed to be made entirely of gold was placed across him and Wang Dong'er, and lashed towards his abdomen.

Bang--!

The wind wave swept in like a hurricane, creating a huge hole with a diameter of several thousand meters in the cloud layer beneath the people.

Although it still failed to break through the windbreaker's defense, with the help of Qiu'er's several soul skills and the gravity field, the power of this shot clearly surpassed the trident that Wang Dong'er had just used.

The terrifying force instantly exceeded the windbreaker's absorption threshold for impact force and poured into Huo Yuhao's body, causing him to fly backwards uncontrollably, even his internal organs were shaking wildly.

But that's all.

After being weakened by the windbreaker, this almost meant that Qiu'er's full-strength attack could no longer have any effect on Huo Yuhao, except for causing a slight chest tightness.

The gap is so huge that it is despairing.

Looking at Huo Yuhao flying backwards, Qiu'er's face was grim, reminding Wang Dong'er who had just woken up from a dream.

"Don't be distracted. We still have a chance. Since you are not proficient in using the halberd, just use it as a hammer. I will cooperate with you."

"……ah?"

Wang Dong'er was stunned for a moment, and when she realized what Qiu'er meant, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, they are all top-heavy long-handled weapons anyway, so why not just swing the trident as if it were the Clear Sky Hammer?

In addition, the weight of the former is terrifying, so the effect of swinging it can be imagined.

"good."

She did it as soon as she said it. The butterfly wings behind her fluttered violently, and she floated lightly towards Huo Yuhao. When she got closer, she raised the trident above her head with both hands and smashed it down hard.

"……?"

Looking at the deep marks left by the halberd blade cutting through the void, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Silly girl, is this how you play this thing?

No, I have to teach this girl how to use a halberd in the future, otherwise she will be laughed at for fighting like this in the future.

Although he complained in his mind, his movements were not slow at all. He raised his arm to block the attack.

Bang--!

There was another loud bang. Unlike the first time he took the trident with ease, under the suppression of Qiu'er's gravity field, Huo Yuhao's body was actually knocked down a bit by this blow. It was obvious that he could not maintain a stable body shape under her attack.

Seeing this scene, Wang Donger's face suddenly showed surprise and she subconsciously called out to her teammates.

"Qiu'er!"

“Here I come.”

A calm voice sounded beside her ears, and Qiu'er followed closely to her side, also holding up the spear in her hand, and the sixth soul ring under her body suddenly lit up.

Golden dragon explodes!

In an instant, the golden dragon spear began to vibrate violently, leaving countless afterimages in the air, and then with Qiu'er's movement, it heavily smashed onto the trident.

clang--

A sharp explosion penetrated the eardrums, and dazzling golden light burst out from the Golden Dragon Spear, transforming into a shock force, penetrating into the trident from top to bottom, and then from the trident into Huo Yuhao's arm.

Spider-web-like cracks spread rapidly towards the surrounding void with the three people as the center, collapsing inch by inch.

Finally, it turned into a large, deep crack with nothing in it.

The combined strength of the two finally broke the stalemate.

It was as if the attack that had been blocked suddenly burst out with a hidden force. As the person involved, Huo Yuhao only felt that an indescribable force penetrated his sleeves and descended on his arm.

Although this force could not cause any harm to his body, it succeeded in making his arms numb, and he was no longer able to continue in this contest of strength.

Looking at the trident and golden dragon spear that were smashing towards him with his arms forced down, Huo Yuhao was not panicked. Instead, he couldn't help but grin.

"You two have improved a lot."

He exclaimed in surprise, but the next second, another free hand came quietly and drilled into the gap between the golden dragon spear and the trident at an incredible speed and angle.

Then, he slapped the sides of the two artifacts, one on the left and one on the right, like lightning.

The sheer burst of muscle power easily repelled the attack, which already had little energy left.

Qiu Er said calmly: "He can't use one hand for the time being, just do as you said just now, and try again!"

"good!"

Wang Dong'er let out a low shout, and with the help of the force from Huo Yuhao's previous attack, she changed the angle of the trident in her hand and attacked again through the air.

Although her Clear Sky Hammer spirit no longer existed, she still used a technique similar to the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique as if it were muscle memory, swinging the trident in her hand continuously towards Huo Yuhao.

During this process, Qiu'er also relied on her richer combat experience to closely follow Wang Dong'er's movements, allowing each attack of the Golden Dragon Spear to be accurately superimposed on the trident.

For a moment, the two of them cooperated tacitly and forced Huo Yuhao to retreat step by step. However, although their attack was fierce, they could not cause any substantial damage to Huo Yuhao.

Although the Golden Dragon's Explosion can break through the windbreaker's defense and temporarily prevent Huo Yuhao from exerting force with one hand, this skill cannot be used continuously.

In addition, if there is enough time for Wang Donger's attacks to continue to overlap, perhaps she will be able to break through Huo Yuhao's defense in the end, but the problem is that the trident is not as good as the Clear Sky Hammer. Even if it has become a martial spirit, Wang Donger cannot fully control it with her current strength.

In this situation, if she continued to stack her attacks, she would be the first to collapse.

As time went by, Huo Yuhao noticed that the two of them did not show any anxious emotions on their faces from beginning to end. He raised his eyebrows, and after blocking their attack again, he could not help but sigh softly.

"You are not impatient at all in the face of a hopeless situation. You two are almost ready to use your tricks. Use them as soon as possible. If you keep dragging it on like this, my other hand will soon recover."

Wang Dong'er's cheeks turned slightly red when her thoughts were revealed in this sentence. She couldn't help but pout and snort.

Without thinking about lowering Huo Yuhao's guard, she directly activated the only cyan-gold soul ring of the golden trident.

Along with a dragon roar that resounded through heaven and earth, the trident burst out with a green light, and a lifelike green dragon roared out from it and instantly wrapped around Huo Yuhao's body.

A squeezing feeling that was dozens of times stronger than Qiu'er's gravity field came from all directions, and actually made Huo Yuhao feel unable to move.

If Tang San saw this scene, he would recognize that this move was one of the soul skills given to him by Niu Tian ten thousand years ago.

The blue, silver and blue dragons are entangled and tough.

The only difference from ten thousand years ago was that what he once possessed was a hundred thousand year soul skill, but what was currently entangled with Huo Yuhao was a real divine skill whose power and effect had been greatly improved.

It’s a pity that Wang Dong’er is only an Extreme Douluo now. Even if she uses this magical skill, she cannot control Huo Yuhao for too long, which is not enough for her to launch another attack.

Perhaps only if her cultivation reaches the god level, this skill will be able to pose a real threat to Huo Yuhao.

But just because Wang Dong'er can't release it doesn't mean that the other person cooperating with her can't!

Seeing his companion succeed, Qiu'er at the side did not hesitate to use his ninth soul skill, Golden Dragon's Sorrow.

They were not strangers who knew nothing about Huo Yuhao. Knowing that this guy possessed the power of the Snow Empress, he still had the confidence to ask for a competition. Naturally, they had prepared corresponding countermeasures.

Since a single control skill is not enough, then two people can cooperate and take turns to control!

As circles of golden ripples came towards Huo Yuhao like waves, Huo Yuhao, who had not yet had time to break free from the Blue Silver Azure Dragon's tight shackles, was once again trapped in a state of being unable to move.

Not only that, his defense was gradually disintegrated due to the golden ripples rushing through his body, just like Niu Tian at the beginning, and he directly fell to the level of an ordinary Extreme Douluo.

"Get started!"

Qiu'er's sixth soul ring lit up again, and the golden dragon spear in her hand suddenly burst out with golden light as she thrust forward. A golden dragon head condensed from the tip of the spear and rushed towards Huo Yuhao's chest.

At the same time, Wang Dong'er's right arm holding the trident once again burst out with a dragon roar that made people tremble with their hearts and minds. As the long spear swung, a green dragon with blue electric light lingering all over its body rushed towards the same position where the golden dragon spear was aimed at.

boom--

The golden and blue lights intersected, and the burst of air waves directly blew them both away.

After finally steadying themselves, the two men stared at the center of the explosion without blinking, until they saw the white-haired figure slowly walking out of it, then they showed a look of shock.

With the combined efforts of the two of them, a fist-sized hole did appear on the chest of the windbreaker, but inside was not the expected fair skin, but intact, icy-white dragon scales.

“It’s quite powerful.”

Huo Yuhao grinned and said, "You almost hurt me."
