Huo Yuhao vs Mu En (2)
🕑 Added 2023-12-16 14:07:22 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 239 ---
Mu En felt strongly surprised.
Haki?
He never heard of such a technique, not even after living in the Douluo Continent for so long. Then, it must be a self-created technique!
To manipulate one's will like this. It was similar to Mu En's Sovereign's Descent or what people called Absolute Dominance in the past by refining mental power to a certain extent.
However, Haki is something else.
In just a simple exchange, Mu En could feel Huo Yuhao used two different principles of Haki and combined them into one.
First is an overbearing will that shatters one's will.
And the other is a reinforced will that could strengthen and even materialize like a bullet.
Combining both allows any injuries inflicted to be 'extremely difficult' to heal.
"Amazing, Dragon Nest's Technique possessed such a marvel." Mu En praised earnestly. "Young Yuhao, you have thoroughly surprised me."
"But the fight is just getting started."
Golden lightning suddenly struck the field.
Mu En held the golden lightning in his hand and threw it at Huo Yuhao, creating a whistling sound in the area.
Huo Yuhao smiled and ejected Armament Haki, creating a jet-black barrier.
BOOM!
The lightning struck Huo Yuhao's barrier and created a thunderous explosion.
As Huo Yuhao stared into the distance, Mu En completely disappeared and appeared with another golden lightning. The middle-aged man used the lightning bolt like a spear, thrusting it toward Huo Yuhao's belly.
Huo Yuhao stepped aside as if he could predict the future, surprising Mu En even more.
Mu En's golden eyes twinkled, 'Interesting. It was understandable Huo Yuhao could counter my Sovereign's Descent with Haki, but to dodge a lightning-speed attack like that? His movement is too weird as if he predicted my movement.'
Huo Yuhao stomped the ground and generated a shockwave that washed everything within fifteen meters away. Mu En dodged and landed on the ground, giving the blue-haired young man an approving gaze.
"Woah, I couldn't see anything. Even after enhancing my eyes with the Purple Demon Eye Technique!" Bei Bei shouted in shock. All Bei Bei could see were Huo Yuhao and his great-grandfather's silhouettes moving at unimaginable speed!
Ma Xiaotao put on a helpless expression because her 'Observation Haki' was too weak. Even though Scathach has taught her, it was only to the realm where she grasped a handful of clouds rather than the 'real' technique.
Her eyesight improved, but like Bei Bei, she could only see stocky images of Huo Yuhao and Mu En.
"T-This is..." Yan Shaozhe's jaw dropped. Unlike Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei, he was a full-fledged title douluo and has long surpassed the mortal's observation.
He watched Huo Yuhao and Mu En exchange their moves in a fraction of a second. None of their movement escaped his sight, but it also shocked him because Huo Yuhao could achieve something like this.
'I know Huo Yuhao is the disciple of Dragon Nest's Leader, but isn't this a little too ridiculous?' Yan Shaozhe gulped nervously. He didn't notice that the rascal who always annoyed him was this monstrous.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Huo Yuhao and Mu En contested with pure physical prowess. Although they used Haki and Thunder Element sometimes, their fists and legs were the ones that made contact most of the time.
BOOM!
Huo Yuhao landed on the edge of the field, and the same goes for Mu En, who had a big smile on his middle-aged face.
After regaining his body's health again, Mu En finally could let loose, and Huo Yuhao didn't disappoint him. Every exchange he makes with youth makes his aged blood boil like when he was young.
"You have a good teacher." He commented.
Huo Yuhao smiled, "Yeah."
Even though Scathach gave him some PTSD, she still molded him into a strong warrior. She even acknowledged Huo Yuhao for being her 'greatest' disciple ever.
Mu En closed his eyes and opened them slowly, revealing a pair of draconic eyes.
Swoosh!
The atmosphere suddenly becomes solemn.
Cold, bloodlust enveloped the whole field and would freeze anyone below Mu En's level in fear. Yet Huo Yuhao countered it with his Conqueror's Haki.
'This also doesn't work?' Mu En thought to himself.
'Hmm, then what about this?'
Mu En's bloodline essence rotated rapidly, turning his left hand into a dragon claw coated with white-gold scales. A concentrated ball of lightning appeared, releasing a dim golden light.
"T-That's..." Yan Shaoze was surprised. "Dragon Emperor Demonic Rupture!"
"The Pavilion Master actually used this technique to fight Huo Yuhao?"
Ma Xiaotao curiously looked down and asked, "What's Demonic Emperor Demonic Rupture, Teacher?"
Yan Shaozhe sighed and answered, "Back in the early days, the Pavilion Master Mu En was known for being a genius and nemesis of darkness."
"The reason is his self-created technique to render anything related to darkness useless by harnessing the thunderous natural qi and radiant power of light. Even if his opponent isn't a dark-type Spirit Master, the impact of this technique would cause several internal damage and continuous explosion."
"The ultimate palm technique!"
"Nice, show me what you can do!" Huo Yuhao's blue eyes lit up as boundless spiritual energy swept the area.
Mu En breathed in and swept his palm against the air, creating a thunderous roar of a dragon.
Huo Yuhao looked up and saw several manifestations of a golden palm descending with a dancing holy dragon around it.
He lifted his right hand and released a tiny wisp of Nebula Thunderfire, causing the space around him to get distorted. The wisp increased the room temperature rapidly, and Huo Yuhao clasped his hands before parting them again, "Open."
The wisp rotated and turned into a purple fire arrow, burning fiercely.
"Release..." Huo Yuhao launched the fire arrow.
The palm attacks and arrows clashed in the sky.
"Such a powerful flame..." Ma Xiaotao sucked a cold breath.
Even Mu En couldn't help but frown when sensing the danger behind Huo Yuhao's wisp of Nebula Thunderfire. The destruction force is unfathomable.
They didn't know that Huo Yuhao barely used 0.1% of Nebula Thunderfire as it would destroy the Mirror Dimension.
'If you can't handle this, you don't deserve your title.' Huo Yuhao gave Mu En a challenging look.
Mu En stared at the fire arrow that tore his attacks apart and laughed bitterly, "Youth these days is too terrifying."
"Aih, to think he would force me to use my 1st spirit ring."
He shook his head gently, and a yellow ring slowly manifested from his foot, rising like a flying dragon.
Mu En clenched his dragon hand into a fist and mumbled, "Golden Sky Breaker."
ROAR~!
The thunderous roar of the holy dragon echoed again.
Mu En punched the incoming fire arrow and blew the space off.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Clouds of dust covered the Mirror Dimension.
Still, a golden brilliance covered the whole ground in a straight line toward Huo Yuhao's position.
Huo Yuhao opened his palm casually to block the attack and stared at Mu En, "That wasn't ordinary 1st spirit skill."
Mu En nodded, "There are some secrets to cultivating a martial soul that the public doesn't know."
"By combining one's bloodline essence into a spirit ring, one could evolve the 'spirit skill' even further. In my case, the Light Holy Dragon's martial soul caused my spirit ring to mutate."
"Of course, this method required intense care and a prolonged cultivation."
"Well, your eyes should be the same." He added, giving Huo Yuhao a knowing look. "I know you have a Body-type Martial Soul."
"But I assumed your Martial Soul has experienced a second awakening like those from Body Sect."
Huo Yuhao shrugged and replied, "I'd appreciate it if you don't compare me with those people. Their method of achieving a second awakening for body-type Martial Soul isn't suitable for my eyes. Too primitive and risky."
"Hmm, eyes are indeed delicate organ." Mu En strokes his beard.
"Why don't you show me what you can do now?" He asked the same question Huo Yuhao uttered a moment ago.
Huo Yuhao was stunned and then laughed, "Haha~! Elder Mu, I don't know you're this petty."
"I'm just curious." Mu En waved his hand.
"Very well, then." Huo Yuhao sighed because using the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao with this clone's body is limited. He could only use one or two Heavenly Daos.
But it was more than enough.
As Mu En anticipated Huo Yuhao's next move, the aura he released changed abruptly.
"Hmm?" Mu En was puzzled.
What is this feeling? Mu En felt like his whole being was being looked down upon by something.
Huo Yuhao's blue eyes gained several white specks like stars in the sky and caused everyone to shiver instinctively.
[Ding! You have successfully used Heavenly Dao of Myriad Shape and Heavenly Dao of Life!]
"Come, The God of Osiris."
"Bring forth your majestic appearance with my call..." Huo Yuhao molded his imagination as Heavenly Dao of Myriad Shape allowed him to create a living vessel and Heavenly Dao of Life permitted him to inject Breath of Life into it.
Thunderclouds brewed atop, allowing the lightning bolts to swim one after another. A massive, serpentine body descended to the Mirror Dimension.
"Slifer of the Sky Dragon!"
ROAR!
