Chapter 201 Laughing at the Mortal World: Huo Yuhao, Take This!
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hongchen's first and third spirit rings lit up brightly at the same time.
Golden bumps quickly emerged from his slightly hunched back.
With a sudden wave of his hands, hundreds of small, metallic-looking balls and a large amount of metal powder were simultaneously released.
The metallic powder emitted a soft golden light in the air, as if it possessed some kind of strange magnetic attraction, enveloping all the small metal spheres around Xiao Hongchen's body.
In the next instant, huge metal cannons rapidly grew out from the metal spheres.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Hongchen in mid-air had transformed into an extremely terrifying humanoid turret.
A total of 128 cannon barrels, all made entirely of level 5 soul guides.
Amidst a series of crisp metallic clanging sounds, they all simultaneously aimed their dark cannon muzzles at Huo Yuhao below.
The reason why Xiao Hongchen is so arrogant is that his Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul is too unique in the field of soul tools.
He can easily control any type of metal, and can even directly absorb the unique energy of rare metals for his own cultivation.
Only after he ruthlessly exploited the rare metals in his grandfather's coffers was he able to break through to the Soul King realm at the young age of less than fifteen without suffering too many aftereffects.
His first soul skill, Metal Control, can greatly enhance his affinity for metal.
The third soul skill, Metal Condensation, allows the user to manipulate metal powder at will, condensing it into any shape.
Those small metal spheres were the core magic arrays of each soul-guided cannon, and those ferocious cannon barrels were all temporarily formed by metal powder under the control of his third soul skill.
Xiao Hongchen, now transformed into a humanoid turret, was accompanied by his fierce shout.
"Huo Yuhao, take this!"
His second and fourth spirit rings also shone brightly one after another.
Countless golden specks of light in the air, like rivers flowing into the sea, frantically merged into Xiao Hongchen's body.
One ring after another of golden light emanated from his body.
Each of those metal cannon barrels also emitted a dazzling golden light.
At this moment, Xiao Hongchen, suspended in mid-air, was like a golden sun.
As he finished speaking his last word, the terrifying metallic aura surged to a boiling point.
One hundred and twenty-eight soul-guided cannons simultaneously unleashed dazzling energy beams.
Under Xiao Hongchen's guidance, the 128 rays strangely repelled and merged with each other, eventually being forcibly kneaded into an enormous golden pillar of light that shot straight toward Huo Yuhao below.
The terrifying energy fluctuations seemed to cause the surrounding air to creak and hiss, a sound that made your teeth ache.
Looking at the enormous pillar of light that completely engulfed Huo Yuhao's figure, Xiao Hongchen, whose face was somewhat pale, still managed to force a smile that belonged to a victor.
In order to unleash this brand-new control technique, which he had painstakingly created over the past half month, his mental energy was greatly depleted by this attack.
But Xiao Hongchen had absolute confidence that even if he faced a genuine low-level Soul Saint, he would absolutely not dare to withstand his full-force attack.
As expected, Xiao Hongchen is the true genius standing at the top among the younger generation of Douluo Continent.
Huo Yuhao, that scumbag who dared to covet his own sister, deserves to be properly judged by this divine justice.
Before Xiao Hongchen could even maneuver his flying soul tool on his back and gracefully land on the competition stage to claim his victory, he was already there.
A tremor, stemming from an instinct for survival, arose spontaneously in his heart without warning.
The golden beam of light, powerful enough to easily pierce through the competition stage, was frozen at its base.
Countless deep blue ice crystals spread wildly upwards along the edge of the golden pillar of light at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely refined ice-blue sword beam, carrying an astonishing chill that seemed capable of freezing the soul, actually condensed the golden beam of light into ice, and then cleaved it open once more.
The severed beam of light formed extremely beautiful broken patterns in the air, then transformed into countless ice-blue streams of light, soaring into the sky and heading straight for Xiao Hongchen in mid-air.
Unmatched!
The moment he saw that terrifying sword light, Xiao Hongchen had already come to this unbelievable conclusion.
In that instant, he even felt as if his soul was about to be completely frozen by that astonishing cold.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Hongchen decisively extended his right hand and slapped his left chest hard.
A dazzling golden light suddenly spread from his body, instantly transforming into a huge golden light shield with a diameter of over two meters, enveloping his entire body.
The next instant, the icy blue sword light carrying a terrifying aura collided fiercely with the invincible shield activated by the Red Dust Blessing.
Between the two, a piercing sound, as if the air were being torn apart, was produced.
It's like holding a huge piece of crystal glass and rubbing it against another, even harder piece of crystal.
That indestructible, invincible shield had actually been frozen into a giant spherical ice sculpture by that terrifying cold air.
It then crashed heavily onto the competition stage from mid-air with a loud bang.
Only after those fifteen seconds had passed did the invincible shield disappear on its own, and the huge spherical ice sculpture shattered with a "crack".
Xiao Hongchen revealed the extreme cold within him, his face pale from the cold, and he couldn't help but shiver.
The more than one hundred metal cannon barrels on his body had all turned back into dull metal powder, scattered all over the ground.
Under the corrosive influence of extreme cold, it solidified into clumps of metal.
Looking at Huo Yuhao not far away, who was still holding the magnificent longsword made of ice crystals in his right hand and watching him with a relaxed air.
Xiao Hongchen felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet.
Huo Yuhao possesses such terrifying strength at the Soul Venerable realm; is he even human?
It should be noted that the Red Dust Blessing, as a genuine level nine soul tool, does not require the user's own soul power to be consumed when it is actively triggered.
This can create an invincible shield that lasts for fifteen seconds and has a defensive power three times that of the user's own cultivation level.
Even though Huo Yuhao's sword beam just now was unable to shatter the invincible shield.
However, the piercing chill brought by the omnipresent extreme ice still forced Xiao Hongchen to consume his already limited soul power to barely resist it.
In addition, there was the enormous energy expenditure he had previously incurred in order to launch that attack he thought was a sure victory.
It can be said that he now has very little soul power left in his body.
Xiao Hongchen forced a bitter smile that was even more painful than crying, as he faced the first crushing defeat of his life.
"Huo Yuhao, you've won. The victor has every right to humiliate the loser. Whatever you're going to say to me next, I can take it."
Seeing Xiao Hongchen's body trembling uncontrollably in the cold, yet still stubbornly refusing to fall, she was truly moved.
Then he thought back to the mortal protection he had activated before, which had saved him many times in dire straits in his previous life.
Huo Yuhao slowly released the Emperor Sword from his hand and spoke gently:
"Xiao Hongchen, you have a good grandfather. I've also heard a great deal about Master Jing. I hope to have the opportunity to speak with him in person next time."
Hearing these bland, even flattering, words from Xiao Hongchen, whose face had been pale, suddenly turned bright red.
For today, for this highly anticipated showdown.
In the days leading up to the competition, he spent countless nights racking his brains, preparing a complete script in his mind.
All of this was intended to show how, after defeating Huo Yuhao, one could use the most stylish and ruthless manner to utter some humiliating words to him.
He prepared no fewer than ten phrases, such as "Those who are defeated by me are never considered my opponents," or "At the pinnacle of soul tools, where I laugh, there is heaven."
Every sentence has been carefully crafted, striving to completely overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.
So, that's all Huo Yuhao is capable of?
He didn't mock or humiliate her; he even praised her grandfather.
For a moment, Xiao Hongchen felt an absurd impulse to teach Huo Yuhao a few more sarcastic and lethal words, just to see what amazing effects those words would have.
Huo Yuhao, who had already turned around and was about to step off the competition stage, seemed to suddenly remember something and paused slightly.
He took out a soul tool shaped like a baby bottle from his own storage soul tool and casually tossed it to Xiao Hongchen, who was still standing there in a daze.
"Let's use this to recover. I hope we'll have another chance to compete against each other next time."
Still feeling a bit numb from the cold, Xiao Hongchen instinctively and clumsily caught the baby bottle.
Looking at the baby bottle in his hand, a sense of doubt arose in his heart.
After subconsciously absorbing the soul power sealed within, Xiao Hongchen's eyes were instantly filled with intense shock.
He looked up abruptly, wanting to ask something, but Huo Yuhao had already stepped off the competition stage.
He could only hurriedly walk off the stage from the other side, as if clutching some priceless treasure, and quickly return to the Sun and Moon team's rest area.
In front of the Sun and Moon team's rest area, a middle-aged man with short silver hair was already standing.
He wasn't very tall, but he was extremely obese.
He wore a well-tailored black robe embroidered with gorgeous patterns in gold, which made him look exceptionally noble.
However, the outfit, combined with his short and stout figure, made him look somewhat comical.
Jing Hongchen looked at her grandson, who was walking back from the competition stage, with her half-closed eyes, but she couldn't help feeling puzzled.
He originally thought that after this crushing defeat, Xiao Hongchen would be devastated for quite some time.
But jade cannot become a vessel without being carved, and Xiao Hongchen's impetuous and arrogant nature has very obvious flaws.
Jing Hongchen also had to take this opportunity to properly train his grandson.
But the world before him, Xiao Hongchen, showed no sign of despair whatsoever.
Instead, he looked excited, especially since he seemed to be holding something extremely precious in his hands.
As they got closer, Jing Hongchen smiled slightly, his expression still calm, and said, "Xiao, you should now understand the gap between yourself and the top geniuses of the continent."
When you get back, you need to think about this carefully. Don't act like you're the most important person in the world, looking down on everyone else.
At this moment, Xiao Hongchen seemed to have completely ignored his grandfather's words.
He couldn't stop stroking the soul tool in his hand, which resembled a baby bottle, as if he were caressing the skin of a peerless beauty.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.
When Meng Hongchen walked over and saw his older brother's inexplicable appearance, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
Only after seeing the baby bottle in his hand did she finally speak up.
"Brother, was this baby bottle the last thing Yuhao threw at you? Why are you laughing like you've never seen anything like this before?"
"What do you know? This isn't an ordinary baby bottle; it's a sealed baby bottle!"
Xiao Hongchen retorted excitedly.
Before he could even carefully put away the sealed baby bottle that he cherished,
Jing Hongchen's obese body suddenly unleashed an astonishing speed that was completely disproportionate to his size.
It happened so fast that Xiao Hongchen didn't even have time to react before he felt his hand go empty as the baby bottle was snatched away.
The next instant, it absorbed the soul power stored in the milk bottle and felt the pure soul power being transmitted to it in an incredibly stable manner.
Jing Hongchen's half-closed eyes suddenly widened, her breath caught in her throat, and a storm raged in her heart.
Even within Mingdetang, sealing baby bottles remains one of the highest-level research projects.
Although they have overcome most of the technical difficulties, the most critical issues remain unresolved.
Perhaps in the next second, this technology will be successfully perfected.
But it's also possible that even after another hundred years, they still won't be able to perfect it.
But now, this epoch-making technology, which is enough to change the landscape of the Soul Master war, is being held in his palm?
Sealed baby bottles, compared to regular baby bottles.
Apart from the soul power stored within it, which does not naturally dissipate over time.
Its most important feature is that it can output soul power steadily to meet the key requirement of being the energy input for a soul tool.
