Yuhao's Soul Ring, Zhu Qing Bingchan's Natural Enemy
The next moment, Yuhao's aura suddenly changed. A bone-chilling cold burst forth without warning, and an incomparably terrifying chill instantly swept across the entire competition arena like an icy storm descending from the heavens.
Almost everyone present could not help but turn their gazes toward Yuhao at the same time.
When they clearly saw the three soul rings slowly rising from beneath Yuhao's feet, their expressions instantly froze, as if struck by lightning.
Not only the participating members on the competition stage, but even the spectators off the stage opened their mouths wide in shock. For a brief instant, the entire arena fell into an unnatural, deathly silence.
Gudong!
No one knew who swallowed their saliva first, but the faint sound was like a fuse being lit. In the next second, the whole place erupted into a deafening uproar.
"Damn it! Did I see that right? That, that is a ten-thousand-year soul ring!"
"How is this possible? How could a Soul Master possess a ten-thousand-year soul ring? And what's going on with that orange-gold soul ring?!"
"This Huo Yuhao actually has a second martial soul! This is simply too terrifying!"
...
That was right. The reason the entire audience had fallen silent earlier was because Yuhao had released his Ice Emperor Dragon Emperor Scorpion martial soul, and at the same time, he did not use any simulation or concealment to alter the true color of his soul rings.
Red, orange-gold, orange-gold.
Three incomparably shocking soul rings hovered around him, radiating a terrifying pressure that stunned everyone present and shattered common sense.
As for whether this would attract greed, covetous gazes, or dangerous thoughts from others—of course it would.
However, Yuhao no longer cared about such things.
As the co-master acknowledged by soul beasts and the young master of the Noumenon Sect, he firmly believed that without direct intervention from the gods, there were very few people on the Douluo Continent who could truly threaten him.
At the same time, deliberately revealing his soul rings was also a powerful warning and deterrent to everyone present.
This could be clearly seen from the expressions of both the Sun Moon Team and the Shrek Team.
After witnessing Yuhao's second martial soul and the soul rings attached to it, Yan Shaozhe's expression instantly turned ferocious. He subconsciously grabbed the railing in front of him with both hands.
The strength he exerted was so great that even the fine iron railings let out a creaking sound and visibly deformed under his grip.
Beside him, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and the others also stared with eyes wide open, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
It was already astonishing enough that Yuhao could attach a ten-thousand-year soul ring as a Soul Master.
But now, seeing what appeared to be a hundred-thousand-year-level—or even more terrifying—soul ring was simply beyond imagination.
"The ten-thousand-year soul ring and the orange-gold soul ring must be fake, no matter how you look at them."
Xu Sanshi, who was standing behind them, suddenly spoke in a low voice.
Hearing Xu Sanshi's words, Yan Shaozhe's brows twitched slightly, and he secretly scolded himself for being overly anxious.
That's right. This was most likely an illusion.
Others might not know, but Yan Shaozhe clearly remembered that when Yuhao was at Zhengtian Academy, he had once used special soul skills to deliberately change the color and aura of his soul rings to confuse his enemies.
Perhaps the same method was being used again this time.
"Yes… it must be so. He deliberately altered the color to intimidate others."
Yan Shaozhe muttered silently in his heart.
He truly did not want to believe that Yuhao possessed twin martial souls along with such terrifying soul rings.
Because if this were true, then once Yuhao fully matured, it would undoubtedly become an enormous disaster for Shrek Academy.
However, even though Yan Shaozhe tried to convince himself, a trace of doubt still lingered deep in his heart.
If Yuhao was capable of altering the appearance of his soul rings, then why would he deliberately change them into two extremely conspicuous orange-gold rings?
Soul rings of such a special and rare color would only arouse even greater suspicion.
Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe stroked his chin thoughtfully, then turned and waved toward Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng.
"Xiao Tao, Yueheng, the two of you come with me."
Hearing Yan Shaozhe's call, although Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng were reluctant to leave the match, they still followed without hesitation.
...
On the competition stage at this moment, Ma Rulong and the others were already feeling the oppressive aura that belonged to an extremely ancient soul beast, and their minds became unsettled and chaotic.
Even Xiao Hongchen, who had barely regained his composure, once again fell into deep confusion.
Why was it that the opponent standing before them seemed to possess a ten-thousand-year soul ring with such ease?
But the one who reacted most violently was Meng Hongchen.
As she felt the terrifying chill permeating the air and sensed that strangely familiar aura, an instinctive fear gradually rose from the depths of her soul, completely uncontrollable.
"What kind of martial soul is this…?"
"It feels like… my natural enemy."
At this moment, Yuhao, who stood opposite them, finally moved.
He stepped forward calmly, raised his right fist, and punched straight ahead.
In an instant, the power of Ultimate Ice and Snow erupted violently. The surrounding soul power in the air was instantly frozen solid, rapidly condensing into a massive icicle as thick as a tree trunk and stretching dozens of meters in length.
The giant icicle continued to extend at a terrifying speed, shooting straight toward Meng Hongchen in the blink of an eye.
Facing this overwhelming attack, Meng Hongchen immediately unleashed her strongest soul skill.
Ice Fire Poison Dragon Drill!
The power of ice and fire intertwined through rapid rotation, achieving a bizarre yet dangerous fusion that erupted with terrifying destructive force.
Relying on the Ice Fire Poison Dragon Drill, Meng Hongchen forcibly blocked the frontal impact of the icicle.
Unfortunately, she had gravely underestimated the true might of Ultimate Ice.
Although she managed to neutralize the initial impact of the icicle, the terrifying freezing attribute of Ultimate Ice and Snow revealed its true horror at this very moment.
At the instant of contact, the extreme cold spread wildly, directly freezing the Ice Fire Poison Dragon Drill itself. The freezing power continued to extend outward, eventually freezing both of Meng Hongchen's hands completely.
Feeling the bone-piercing cold, Meng Hongchen shuddered involuntarily.
This was absolutely abnormal for her, a Soul Master who possessed an ice attribute martial soul.
However, even with both hands frozen solid, Meng Hongchen did not show panic. Instead, a confident smile appeared on her face.
"Ice is an excellent medium for poison. You—"
Meng Hongchen spoke while releasing the terrifying poison of the Zhu Qing Ice Toad.
But in the very next instant, her pupils suddenly contracted. Her expression turned pale with shock, and she screamed out uncontrollably:
"This is impossible!"
Because she discovered, to her horror, that her poison could not be transmitted through the ice covering her hands.
This was something that had never happened before.
The drastic change in Meng Hongchen's expression did not escape Yuhao's eyes.
Seeing this, Yuhao could not help but reveal a faint smile.
The main reason spirit beasts like the Zhu Qing Bingchan never dared to venture deep into the core region of the Far North was precisely because their natural enemies lived there.
Ice Jade Scorpions.
Whether it was the Ultimate Ice attribute itself or their terrifying immunity to poison, in front of Ice Jade Scorpions, Zhu Qing Ice Toads could only be reduced to prey.
Not to mention that Yuhao's martial soul was the absolute ruler among Ice Jade Scorpions, one that had evolved into the Ice Emperor Dragon Emperor Scorpion after being tempered by the power of the Golden Dragon King.
At this moment, Yuhao raised his right hand and lightly snapped his fingers.
"Pop."
With that crisp sound, the massive icicle instantly exploded with terrifying force.
Ice Explosion Technique!
The reason this technique was regarded as a treasured ability by the Ice Emperor was simple—so long as it was ice, it could be detonated.
The greater the soul power infused, or the stronger the target affected, the more terrifying the resulting explosion.
At this moment, Meng Hongchen's hands were completely frozen, placing her squarely within the explosion's core range.
Boom! Boom!
A series of deafening explosions rang out one after another.
Because the detonation occurred far too suddenly, even Meng Hongchen, who was frozen in place, had no time to react.
Not to mention Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, and the others nearby.
By the time they regained their senses, Meng Hongchen's figure had already been completely engulfed by the raging explosion.
"Younger sister!"
"Meng Hongchen!"
Xiao Hongchen roared in despair, but it was already too late.
When the aftermath of the explosion finally dissipated, Meng Hongchen lay there, her body riddled with injuries, her clothes torn and tattered, and her entire figure drenched in blood.
