Chapter 166 Sparring with a Dou Zun
As Ling Ying's fingertips twitched slightly, the two short darts moved around him like small fish.
The most astonishing thing is that they are clearly within sight, radiating a chilling aura. Yet, when sensed through energy fluctuations, these two short spikes seem to be nonexistent.
If these two jet-black short thorns hadn't already recognized Ling Ying as their master, Ling Ying wouldn't have been able to detect them even at such close range.
"This feeling—" Ling Ying's eyes gleamed with surprise and admiration: "Such perfect concealment! It also greatly enhances the power of battle qi!"
The first to fourth grade spiritual artifacts that Huo Yuhao had made in the past had already amazed him. But this set of spiritual artifacts now far surpassed Huo Yuhao's previous works in terms of enhancing strength.
Huo Yuhao smiled calmly: "This is the Black Emperor's Thorn, a sixth-grade spiritual weapon. According to my calculations, a Dou Huang powerhouse possessing a sixth-grade spiritual weapon should have the ability to contend with, or even contend with, a low-level Dou Zong."
He turned his gaze to Ling Ying, "If Senior Ling Ying wishes to verify its power, why not spar with our Inner Court's Grand Elder?"
Having long wanted to test the power of these two magical weapons, Ling Ying's fighting spirit ignited upon hearing this, and she readily agreed.
hum!
With a slight fluctuation in spatial power, Huo Yuhao and Ling Ying's figures vanished from their original spot in an instant.
Behind the outer courtyard of Canaan Academy. The crowd of congratulatory guests had not yet dispersed. Huo Yuhao and Ling Ying had just appeared when they heard two hearty and unrestrained laughs.
"Hahaha! Elder Huo! You've finally arrived!" Elder Bai, beaming, strode forward to greet him. "Our achievement of reaching the Dou Zun realm is entirely thanks to your guidance!"
"Old Bai is right, Elder Huo, we can't thank you enough!" Elder Qian echoed with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the elders who had been offering their congratulations all turned their attention to Huo Yuhao: "It was Elder Huo's guidance?!"
Huo Yuhao bowed slightly, his tone humble: "You two elders are too kind. Even without me, with your accumulated experience, breaking through to the Dou Zun realm is just around the corner."
Upon hearing this, Elder Bai glanced at Huo Yuhao and exclaimed in surprise, "Hmm? It hasn't been that long, Elder Huo, and you've already broken through to the Dou Huang level!"
Recalling Huo Yuhao's unbelievable ability to fight beyond his level, he couldn't help but speculate, "With Elder Huo's skills, you should now—at least have the combat power of a mid-level Dou Zong, right?"
Upon hearing this, smiles appeared on the faces of the surrounding elders. Su Qian even said mischievously, "Elder Bai, why don't you—take another bold guess?"
Elder Bai was stunned, his eyes widening in shock: "Could it be—a high-level Dou Zong?!"
He shook his head, finding it somewhat unbelievable: "A Dou Huang fighting a high-level Dou Zong, this—"
Su Qian continued, "Some time ago, when Elder Huo was still at the peak of the Dou Wang realm, he single-handedly captured seven Dou Zong members! Among them was even the Earth Demon Old Ghost! Now Elder Huo has advanced to Dou Huang—"
The smiles on the faces of the centenarians and the thousand elders froze instantly, their mouths slightly agape, as if they had heard a fairy tale.
The two even subconsciously glanced at each other, both seeing the same absurdity in each other's eyes—could it be that we failed to break through to the Dou Zun realm? Was this just a dream before our deaths?
"Could it be—" Elder Bai said in disbelief, "Elder Huo now—has already possessed the combat power of a Dou Zun?!"
Huo Yuhao remained calm, stepped forward, and cupped his hands in greeting to Elder Bai: "I am not entirely clear about his exact strength. Since Elder Bai has already broken through to the Dou Zun realm, I wonder if you could offer some guidance?"
Elder Bai took a deep breath, suppressing the raging storm in his heart, his eyes blazing with intense curiosity and fighting spirit: "Fine! Today I'll see for myself just how far you've come! Let's go!"
Before he finished speaking, he blurred into a streak of light and shot towards a mountain range outside the academy.
At the summit of a towering mountain, the elders gathered to watch the battle, their eyes fixed intently on the two figures facing off in the distant sky.
An elder couldn't help but ask Su Qian in a low voice, "Elder, in your opinion—better to be the Chief Elder or the Hundred Elders?"
Su Qian glanced at him and said irritably, "Are you trying to make things difficult for this old man!"
Above the mountain range, Elder Bai stood with his feet firmly planted in the air, his robes fluttering even without wind. He said in a deep voice, "Elder Huo, make your move!"
Let this old man see for himself!
Huo Yuhao didn't stand on ceremony. He raised his hands, and icy blue cold air instantly enveloped his fingers as he flicked his fingers in quick succession!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!
In an instant, countless deep blue ice cones condensed out of thin air, like a torrential downpour, carrying a biting chill and sharpness, and shot towards Bai Lao in an overwhelming manner!
Each ice spike contains enough energy to make an ordinary low-level Dou Zong's scalp tingle!
【Thousand Illusory Ice Spikes】!
"Oh? It really is the old demon's signature move!" A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Lao's eyes, then he shook his head and chuckled, casually waving his palm.
A massive palm of battle aura, containing faint spatial fluctuations, appeared out of thin air and effortlessly shattered and annihilated all the ice spikes in the sky, as if swatting a fly.
"Elder Huo." Elder Bai withdrew his hand, his tone carrying a hint of guidance: "At the Dou Zun level, Earth-rank Dou Techniques are no longer of much significance."
"Is that so?" Huo Yuhao nodded.
Within his spiritual world, Venerable Heavenly Fire hovered beside the Ice Flame Phoenix and the Guardian Mirror. Upon seeing this, he scoffed, "Tsk tsk, just broke through to Dou Zun and already showing off? Clearly, you've never seen a high-level Earth-rank Dou Technique before!"
Seeing that the Ice Flame Phoenix and the Guardian Mirror seemed to have their attention drawn by his words, he immediately perked up and began explaining animatedly, "Let me tell you, the vast majority of high-level Earth-rank combat techniques are aiming for the Heaven-rank threshold! Their power is a precipitous increase compared to mid-level Earth-rank techniques! They're not even in the same league!"
He looked at Huo Yuhao's figure outside, his voice full of smugness: "Brother Huo now has the Fallen Heart Flame and your Phoenix Strange Fire, a full two kinds of strange fire! If we just find a few more high-level beast fires to make up the numbers, and use my Five-Round Separation Fire Technique—hmph, that'll be enough to give this newly promoted Dou Zun a good beating!"
The Heavenly Fire Venerable's face revealed a mixture of longing and pride. After all, even he, the creator, had never seen the Five-Round Fire Technique, which contained multiple different kinds of fire.
Facing the imposing, powerful palm strike of Elder Bai, Huo Yuhao remained unfazed. He made a grasping motion with his right hand, and an ice blade radiating extreme cold instantly materialized.
With a slight flick of the wrist, the blade flashed like a waterfall!
【Dragon and Phoenix Guide】!
In an instant, countless tiny blades of light, as if possessing a life of their own, precisely met the enormous battle aura palm and cut into its energy nodes!
With a deafening roar, the seemingly powerful giant palm of battle aura was dismembered and scattered by countless fine blades of light!
Huo Yuhao stood with his sword in hand, his voice calm: "Elder Bai, it seems you are not entirely useless after all."
