Chapter 43: The Competition Begins
Upon seeing such a large quantity of high-grade rare metals, Huo Yuhao's expression became serious.
"Princess, what is the meaning of this? These rare metals are perhaps too generous as a congratulatory gift."
Seeing such a quantity of resources, Huo Yuhao immediately understood that the Star Luo Imperial Family must have a request of him, or perhaps wanted to exchange something.
"Pavilion Master Huo is thinking too much. My Imperial Brother loves to make friends with young talents. He deeply regrets not having met Pavilion Master Huo earlier, and this is merely an attempt to make amends."
Xu Jiujiu responded unhurriedly, while gently pushing the storage ring Huo Yuhao had placed back on the table, indicating that Huo Yuhao could confidently accept it.
Having roughly understood Xu Jiawei's investment intentions, Huo Yuhao used his mental force to ask Mu En, who had already arrived in Star Luo City, a couple of questions.
"Don't worry, it's just a normal investment. Successive Star Luo Emperors have more or less given some investment to the Academy, but I didn't expect Xu Jiawei to think so highly of you."
After receiving Mu En's reply, Huo Yuhao no longer hesitated and accepted the two storage rings.
"Then I thank the Princess and your esteemed brother. If there are extra Two-Word Battle Armors in the future, I will definitely prioritize trading with your esteemed brother."
Xu Jiujiu nodded upon hearing this, stood up, performed a standard court Thank you to Huo Yuhao, and then left with the two Titled Douluo.
Xu Jiujiu naturally understood the principle of not being too hasty. Now that she had established contact with Huo Yuhao, staying any longer would only make it seem like she had ulterior motives.
After Xu Jiujiu left, Huo Yuhao used his mental force to find Mu En, intending to ask this knowledgeable senior for some guidance.
"Yuhao, you've come at just the right time. I was just about to talk to you. For a while, I will share more experiences on how to interact with people. You are still young, after all, and some interest-based relationships are still difficult for you to grasp."
Huo Yuhao nodded, intending to put some effort into it. After all, in his previous life, he was just a young man, and this kind of exchange of interests was still somewhat complex for him.
However, Huo Yuhao was in a very good mood looking at these rare metals. A large quantity of rare metals had already been consumed during the Spirit Refined period.
Shrek Academy's rare metals were not truly abundant, not because the Academy lacked money, but because some rare metals were controlled by the Sun Moon Empire.
Originally, due to the difficulty in obtaining the rare metals required for some Three-Word Battle Armors, Huo Yuhao was even preparing to visit the Sun Moon Empire to "take advantage" of them.
Now, the batch of metals sent by Xu Jiawei resolved Huo Yuhao's immediate needs. Not only could the practice of Spirit Forging continue, but all the materials needed for the Three-Word Battle Armor were also available.
Huo Yuhao looked at his millennium luck again, feeling a bit emotional. This Child of Destiny truly was unreasonable.
After a few short days of disciplined life combining study, cultivation, and forging, Huo Yuhao awaited Wang Yan's arrival.
The All-Continent Spirit Master Tournament was finally about to begin, and a legend of an era was about to unfold before everyone.
As the Shrek Academy team, who had been champions for many years, they would be the first to appear in the first day's elimination round.
With the Star Luo Emperor's entrance, the atmosphere of the entire arena reached its peak.
"The first match of the first elimination round will be between the Shrek Academy team and the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Spirit Master Academy."
As the host's words fell, the members of Shrek Academy and Heavenly Spirit Advanced Spirit Master Academy entered the arena in order.
At this moment, the venue was filled with cheers for Shrek, and the seven members of each team stood opposite each other.
As the referee's raised right arm fell, the match officially began.
Since Dai Yueheng and the Death God's divine sense perished together, Cici once again became a main team member and was standing behind Huo Yuhao at this time.
Cici gestured to the other five people besides Huo Yuhao, and the six immediately retreated a few steps, revealing Huo Yuhao in front.
Although the people from the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Spirit Master Academy on the opposite side were somewhat puzzled by Shrek Academy's actions, they did not hesitate too much and took the opportunity to launch an attack.
However, the moment they released their Spirits, a terrifying mental force pressure enveloped the entire arena, forcefully interrupting their offensive.
The seven people directly facing Huo Yuhao immediately knelt on one knee, supporting themselves with their hands on the ground, struggling to resist this terrifying pressure.
Huo Yuhao, at this moment, slowly walked forward. As he approached the Heavenly Spirit Spirit Master Academy step by step, nine spirit rings gradually appeared behind him.
Nine spirit rings—black, black, black, red, red, red, red, red, red—circled around Huo Yuhao, pulsating continuously as he advanced.
At this moment, the venue suddenly became silent, all shocked by Huo Yuhao's nine spirit rings, and then deafening cheers erupted again.
In the stands, Xiao Hongchen, with his silver hair, looked in shock at the burly old man with a full beard sitting in the main seat.
"Elder Ma, how is this possible? Can someone really become a Titled Douluo before the age of twenty? Even if it's pushed up by elixirs, it shouldn't be able to improve so quickly."
Elder Ma also looked at Huo Yuhao in the arena with a solemn expression at this moment.
"Although I completely agree with your point, the power just now was indeed likely from a Titled Douluo. Our competition this year will probably be difficult."
Huo Yuhao looked at the few people still holding on and prepared to end the battle in a way that best displayed his strength.
Huo Yuhao slowly floated into mid-air, once again using his divine sense to activate his Spirit True Body.
However, the Spirit True Body that appeared this time was a pair of giant eyes dotted with ice crystals. This was a new characteristic of the Spirit True Body that Huo Yuhao had discovered.
By temporarily integrating a small amount of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's Spirit origin into the Spirit Eye origin with the help of his divine sense, and then injecting spirit power, a Spirit True Body similar to a Spirit Fusion Skill could be produced.
"Everyone, nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself. I am the next Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, Ice Emperor Douluo Huo Yuhao."
As Huo Yuhao's words fell, everyone looked solemnly at the blue-golden eyes suspended in the sky.
Even through the spirit power protective shield, with the assistance of Huo Yuhao's divine sense, the powerful pressure still made everyone present feel a chill down their spines.
The seven members of the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Spirit Master Academy were closest to the Spirit True Body, and at this moment, there was already a hint of despair in their eyes.
Seeing the seven people about to be crushed by the mental force, Huo Yuhao immediately swept them off the stage with a mental storm.
They were not mortal enemies, and Huo Yuhao did not want to ruin anyone's future because of a single match.
However, Huo Yuhao, who was using this fused Spirit True Body for the first time, was somewhat curious about its power and then looked at the referee with a hint of eagerness to try it out.
But the Spirit Douluo-level referee had already been somewhat out of breath from Huo Yuhao's immense mental force. At this moment, seeing Huo Yuhao's intention to act, he immediately and hastily announced the results of the match, fearing that Huo Yuhao, not having had his fill, might give him a taste.
