Chapter 72 First Battle, Gaining Some Fame
The audience erupted in cheers and screams.
"Holy crap, no way, a 90,000-year lifespan!"
"His second spirit ring is purple, his third is black, and his fourth is also black, which is bad enough. But his fifth spirit ring has a lifespan of 90,000 years! Is he even letting anyone else live?"
"No wonder he dared to take on seven opponents single-handedly; he's comparable to the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall. Blazing Fire Academy has met its match!"
The three members of the golden generation of the Spirit Hall Soul Master Academy—Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan—were not happy at all when others compared them to Lin Hao.
At the same time, Lin Hao looked towards the direction of the Papal Palace.
This place is a kilometer away from the Papal Palace. Lin Hao sensed that someone was watching him from the Papal Palace.
Huo Wushuang scoffed, "So what if he has a spirit ring with a lifespan of 90,000 years? If his spirit wasn't plant-based, we might be a little wary. Unfortunately for him, his spirit is plant-based!"
After a moment of surprise, Huo Wu's expression returned to normal. "And it's Blue Silver Grass!"
Fire can be used to power plants; this is a consensus among everyone.
Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial spirit.
Tang San once encountered the Blazing Fire Academy in the preliminary rounds, and his Blue Silver Grass broke as soon as it was burned.
Lin Hao said, "Then let's wait and see!"
"First Soul Skill: Sparks Like Silk!"
The two teammates from Blazing Fire Academy had flames that swirled around each of their teammates like threads. All teammates' fire attack power increased by ten percent.
At the same time, two agility-type Soul Masters flanked Lin Hao from the left and right, attacking him from two different directions.
This is a very well-coordinated team.
From the very beginning of the battle, they were establishing their advantage in every aspect.
Offense is the best defense; this is the best combat strategy for Blazing Academy.
When his two teammates rushed to his side, Lin Hao made his move.
Lin Hao threw a punch to the left.
"Bang!"
With an uppercut, he struck the jaw of a speed-type Soul Master from Blazing Fire Academy, sending the opponent flying into the air.
Lin Hao leaned his body and quickly kicked to the left.
"Bang!"
He struck another agility-type Soul Master from Blazing Fire Academy in the abdomen with his leg, lifting the opponent into the air before sending him crashing to the ground, clutching his stomach. Only one hand remained, pointing at Lin Hao.
The audience was stunned.
"What's going on?"
Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang looked astonished.
Yao Zi from the College of Botany finally seized the opportunity and said without hesitation, "Seven against one can't beat them. In my opinion, Blazing Fire should be called Extinguished Fire instead!"
Huo Wu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Driven by impulse, Huo Wushuang's palm, like molten lava, roared as it attacked Lin Hao.
Lin Hao raised his hand and threw a punch at Huo Wushuang.
Huo Wushuang tried to grab Lin Hao's fist.
"Bang!"
The force of Lin Hao's punch exceeded Huo Wushuang's expectations. Before Huo Wushuang could even grab Lin Hao's fist, he was knocked to the ground and tumbled three times before the force of Lin Hao's punch was dissipated.
Huo Wushuang's right hand was behind his back, his five fingers trembling slightly. His brows were furrowed, and he stared intently at the five spirit rings at Lin Hao's feet—a configuration far exceeding the standard—thinking to himself, "Is this the power granted to him by 30,000-year spirit rings?"
Huo Wushuang's martial soul is a one-horned fire tyrannosaurus, a beast martial soul.
Generally speaking, a Soul Master with a Beast Soul will have a stronger physique than a Soul Master with a Weapon Soul.
Huo Wushuang felt that his strength was no match for Lin Hao's, probably because Lin Hao possessed three ten-thousand-year-old soul rings.
Little did he know that spirit rings could only enhance a spirit master's attributes. The three ten-thousand-year spirit rings primarily increased the Blue Silver Grass's vitality.
Lin Hao's innate superhuman strength is related to the strange power he comprehended.
"Third Soul Skill: Fireballs Like Rain!"
"Third Soul Skill - Tyrannosaurus Rex's Wrath!"
"Third Soul Skill: Firecrane Clone!"
"Second Soul Skill - Seven Star Stream of Fire!"
Moved.
The four members of the Blazing Fire Academy moved simultaneously.
A support Soul Master assists all teammates, increasing their attack power. Huo Wushuang and the other two Soul Masters unleash Soul Skills to attack Lin Hao from three directions.
All of Lin Hao's possible escape routes were blocked.
Huo Wushuang sneered, "One against seven? Hmph, arrogance comes at a price!"
Since he couldn't win through hand-to-hand combat, Huo Wushuang changed his fighting style, using flames, which are effective against plant-type soul masters, to deal with Lin Hao.
"How naive!"
Lin Hao tilted his head slightly, dodging the incoming fireball.
Then, dodging left and right, he skillfully avoided the flames spewed by the Fire-Slaying One-Horned Fire Tyrannosaurus. He ran towards one of the opponent's power-attack type Soul Masters.
"Perfect timing. You want to commit suicide? I'll grant your wish. Third Soul Skill: Seven-Star Fiery Bullet!"
Seven fireballs shot towards Lin Hao.
Lin Hao leaped into the air, maintaining a difficult pose, as the seven fireballs grazed past him.
The audience erupted in cheers once again.
Control-type Soul Masters must keep their distance from their opponents. But Lin Hao charged straight at them, an act tantamount to suicide.
However, Lin Hao was always able to skillfully dodge the other people's soul skills.
The audience was stunned once again, muttering to themselves.
"What kind of soul skill is this?"
"Soul bone?"
"Doesn't look like it!"
"Could it be Third Brother's ghostly presence?"
"No. This isn't my Ghostly Phantom Technique. I've never seen such movement before. Lin Hao is hiding many more secrets. He also had many more abilities up his sleeve during the last Soul Battle!"
Tang San was certain that Lin Hao was using a technique that was neither the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Tracking nor any other sect's movement technique.
To be honest, this doesn't count as a movement technique.
Forces are reciprocal. The soul skill Lin Hao is currently using is a combat technique that utilizes superhuman strength in his feet, presenting a "superior movement technique" that is no weaker than Ghostly Shadow Tracking.
"Hold on a little longer, the captain will be here soon. Soul Skill: Fire Roar!"
The Blazing Fire Academy team members looked panicked and spewed flames at Lin Hao, who was getting closer and closer.
Lin Hao shifted to the side, once again anticipating his opponent's move and dodging the attack. At the same time, he delivered a powerful punch to his opponent's abdomen.
"Overlord Fist!"
"Bang!"
With a thud, Lin Hao sent the powerful attack-type Soul Master from Blazing Fire Academy flying through the air, blood splattering everywhere. He lay on the ground, unable to rise again from the pain.
"Fourth Soul Skill: Fiery Dance of the Sun!"
The Fire Dancer, holding the fireball high, had been waiting for a long time.
Lin Hao had just knocked one of his opponents away, making it the perfect time to attack him.
Huo Wu confidently declared, "You are indeed very strong, but victory belongs to us!"
The enormous white fireball engulfed Lin Hao, and the space itself was distorted by the intense heat emanating from the fireball.
Huo Wu continued her attacks, her white flames relentlessly scorching Lin Hao. However, as a Soul Master, she felt herself becoming increasingly strained.
Several seconds passed, and there was no movement inside the fireball.
"It's time to reduce the power, otherwise, if he dies, the academy will have a hard time explaining itself. After all, he's Prince Xuexing's man!"
Huo Wu continued to withdraw her soul power, and a large green cocoon appeared inside the white fireball.
As the Blue Silver Grass continued to retract, Lin Hao's handsome face was revealed.
Huo Wu looked surprised and exclaimed, "Are you alright?"
Lin Hao smiled and said, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you, my Blue Silver Grass is fire immune!"
