Douluo Dalu 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect

Chapter 34.3. Taking on an Impossible Challenge

Hearing these two voices, Zhou Sichen immediately took their bets. The other students had bet a total of around two thousand gold soul coins, yet Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao alone had just equalled that. In other words, he wouldnt have to pay out of pocket if Huo Yuhao lost. On the whole, a crisis had been averted.

Well bet fifty gold soul coins on Huo Yuhao. Two crisp voices rang out simultaneously, jolting Zhou Sichen. There were actually still more people who dared to bet on Huo Yuhao. After looking carefully, he realised that the two people betting on Huo Yuhao were actually the Lan sisters.

The sisters smiled at Wang Dong, then took out a total of fifty gold soul coins.

Ill bet fifty as well. Another voice rang out. This time, Zhou Sichen was somewhat flabbergasted. The person whod placed a bet this time was actually his good brother, Cao Jinxuan. During their match with Huo Yuhaos team, Cai Jinxuan hadnt even been able to even release a soul skill before hed been knocked out by Huo Yuhao and Wang Dongs combined Spiritual Shock.

Jinxuan, whatre you doing? Zhou Sichen asked suspiciously.

Cao Jinxuan smiled cunningly. I know that a fella like you has a lot of money; why cant I bet on an unknown gamble?

Still somewhat suspicious, Zhou Sichen replied, That cant be right. Youve never done something that doesnt profit you, nor have you done something that youre unsure of.

Cao Jinxuan replied in an easy-going manner, Thats not your problem. Besides, Im only betting fifty gold soul coins. That isnt too cruel. However, let me remind you: If Huo Yuhao does win, youll go bankrupt. With odds of 1 to 10, youll have to pay out twenty one thousand gold soul coins for these two thousand one hundred gold soul coins. Do you even have that much money?

Uh Cold sweat immediately began to drip off of Zhou Sichens face when he heard Cao Jinxuan. Right! In the extremely unlikely chance that Huo Yuhao managed to win, what would he do? Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao had each bet one thousand gold soul coins! That, multiplied by ten, was an astronomical figure to him!

Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, can you guys lower your bets a bit? Zhou Sichen had previously hoped that Huo Yuhao would cause an upset. However, his current attitude had completely flipped around.

Wang Dong replied, You said that you were willing to accept any bets, no matter how high they were. Im confident in Huo Yuhao, and Im not afraid of losing. Whatre you afraid of? With that, both he and Xiao Xiao turned around and found a place to sit.

Seeing their backs, Zhou Sichen mumbled unhappily, Humph, lets see how you start crying after you lose. Itd be weird if Huo Yuhao really was able to beat Wu Feng with such a large gap between them. Still, Ive really dug a hole for myself with the odds Ive set! If Id known people would make such large bets earlier, I wouldve taken it easier, so as to guarantee that Id still make a slight profit.

Cai Jinxuan patted him on the shoulder and replied in a sincere voice, Being impulsive truly is the devil!

As the spectating stage continued to buzz with activity, Huo Yuhao and Wu Feng proceeded to enter the Soul Duelling Arena. For the sake of safety, Wang Yan was personally acting as the referee for their match.

After entering the arena, Wang Yan said solemnly, Ill once again remind you that this is merely a sparring session between fellow classmates, so although you can go all-out, you absolutely cannot injure your opponent. Do you understand? Once one party gains an upper hand in the match, Ill stop it immediately.

Both Huo Yuhao and Wu Feng nodded at the same time. However, Wu Feng said offhandedly, Teacher Wang, doesnt that mean that youll have to stop the match after only a few seconds?

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards her side of the arena. Wu Feng hadnt even turned twelve, yet shed clearly developed much faster than other girls her age. This was exemplified by her extremely tall figure. Furthermore, her feminine traits were very obvious; this was especially so for her fiery red hair, which had a peculiar beauty to it. Only, her tomboyish personality, which caused her to be even rowdier than boys, was clearly somewhat disharmonious with her beauty.

As Huo Yuhao slowly walked towards the other side of the arena, Wang Yan whispered, Try your best, but dont force yourself. Sometimes, patience is a form of strength.

Huo Yuhao could see how concerned Wang Yan was for him. After nodding to him, he slowly moved backwards. He understood Wang Yans good intentions, but hed already decided not to spare any costs when he fought against Wu Feng. He had no intentions of backing down.

Both sides were quickly separated by a distance of a hundred meters.

Wang Yan stood in the middle of the arena with his arms spread out. After ensuring that both parties had finished making their preparations, he suddenly raised his hands and shouted, Begin!

Wu Feng moved instantly. Her red hair fluttered in the wind, resembling a red cloud as she charged towards Huo Yuhao at full speed. Her slender yet forceful legs caused her body to rapidly shoot forwards whenever her feet touched the ground, and in the blink of an eye, shed already traversed several tens of meters.

As her tender body rushed forward, dragon scales began to cover half of her body. Though they were still a good distance away from each other, yet Huo Yuhao was already able to sense the valiant air coming off of her body.

Surprisingly, Huo Yuhao didnt move at all. Instead, he simply shut his eyes and stood there, making it seem as if he was meditating while standing up.

The spectators stage had become completely silent; everyones eyes were currently focused on the Soul Duelling Arena. Naturally, the most attentive students were Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Zhou Sichen.

Likewise, Cao Jinxuan was also looking concentratedly at the arena. However, he wasnt following Wu Feng like many people were. Instead, hed fixed his eyes on Huo Yuhao, and was observing his every move.

It was just as Zhou Sichen had guessed; Cao Jinxuan placing a bet on Huo Yuhao hadnt been a moment of impulsiveness, nor had it been because he was trying to obtain a large profit. Rather, he had his own motives for doing so.

The true core of Zhou Sichens team was actually Cao Jinxuan. His Time Elapsing Clock was an extremely rare control-type Tool Soul that had the ability to control time. Cao Jinxuan had contributed the most during their arduous journey to the top four. As an outstanding control-type soul master himself, Cao Jinxuan had a much greater understanding towards the similarly control-type Huo Yuhao.

During their match that time, hed instantly been knocked unconscious without even being able to use a soul skill. Many people had assumed that it was the work of Wang Dong, but Cao Jinxuan was fully aware that it had been a spiritual-type attack. Even though hed had Wang Dongs assistance, the truth was that it had still been Huo Yuhaos attack. More importantly, hed even been specifically guarding against a long-range attack like this. The time surrounding his body had been slightly distorted, which was extremely hard to see with the naked eye. Because of this, he hadnt been afraid of long-distance single-target attacks. However, even though his Time Elapsing Clock was able to distort time, it wasnt able to distort Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection. Once Huo Yuhaos attack had landed, Cao Jinxuan didnt have the chance to do anything at all. This had greatly increased Cao Jinxuans interest towards Huo Yuhao.

Cao Jinxuan was someone who had a strong desire for knowledge. He really wanted to know how Huo Yuhao had been able to do what hed done. After all, Huo Yuhao only had a ten year soul ring! Could his soul skill be used in two different ways? Or did his soul skill have two different effects? With its detection and attacking abilities, could that still even be considered a ten year soul ring? Only hundred thousand year soul rings could have two skills!

Because of that, even though everyone else believed that Huo Yuhao would definitely lose to Wu Feng, Cao Jinxuan had a certain amount of confidence in him. This confidence was even stronger than that of even Wang Dong and Xiao Xiaos. Sometimes, a persons rivals can understand them more than their teammates.

The distance between the two parties gradually decreased. Facing the motionless Huo Yuhao, Wu Feng raised her vigilance. After all, Ning Tian had been knocked unconscious during their previous match. In their post-match research, theyd felt that the best way to protect themselves would be to gather their soul power in their heads. If they protected their spiritual seas, their opponents attacks wouldnt be able to overcome their defenses.

Because of that, Wu Feng didnt bother to use any soul skills. From her point of view, Huo Yuhao had no chance of winning in a direct competition of combat power. As long as she was wary of his Spiritual Shock, everything would be fine. In reality, none of the students presentother than Wang Dong and Xiao Xiaowere aware that Huo Yuhaos main soul skill was his Spiritual Detection.

Currently, the distance between the two had shrunk to a mere five meters. Stamping the ground with her left leg, Wu Feng shot towards Huo Yuhao like a sharp arrow that had been released from a bow.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao finally made a move. The instant Wu Feng moved, he shifted his feet. As a result, he was able to quickly sidestep to the left. At the same time, he sent a kick flying straight towards Wu Fengs abdomen.

The instant that Wu Feng had leapt out, her arms had been raised up high, while her palms had slashed towards Huo Yuhaos shoulders. By relying on his Spiritual Detection, Huo Yuhao had grasped the trajectory of her movements perfectly. Because of this, Huo Yuhao had sidestepped her attack the very moment shed begun moving. At the same time, hed sent a kick flying towards an area that was very hard for Wu Feng to defend against.

Even though she was extremely confident in herself, it was extremely uncomfortable for Wu Feng to deal with Huo Yuhaos attack. However, she wasnt willing to get kicked by Huo Yuhao. Helpless, she could only twist her body in midair in an attempt to dodge Huo Yuhaos kick. However, the fact that she was in a leaping position couldnt be changed.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped his kick in midair, then jumped forward using his left leg. After jumping half a meter off the ground, he changed his right legs sweeping kick into a regular kick. This allowed him to perfectly kick Wu Fengs slightly defined and perky round buttocks.

Ones buttocks practically represent a persons center of gravity. If someones buttocks were to be kicked midair, their balance would immediately be broken. Just as Wu Feng twisted her body to the side, she felt a large amount of force transmitted through her buttocks. She immediately let out an alarmed cry when this happened, and used her left hand to push against the ground in an effort to seize an opportunity to control her own body.

After kicking Wu Fengs butt, Huo Yuhao immediately used a follow-up move. Landing his right foot on the ground, he suddenly rushed towards Wu Feng. Up to this point, his eyes had remained shut. However, his perception of the outside world was far clearer than it wouldve been if hed been using his eyes.

As Wu Feng pressed her left hand onto the ground, the speed of her fall decreased slightly. However, Huo Yuhao arrived at that point again. Stamping his right foot on the ground, he rushed forwards and used his left leg to strike Wu Fengs slender waist.

Naturally, Wu Feng wouldnt just let him have his way with her. She hurriedly raised her left knee and angled it towards Huo Yuhaos left leg. At the same time, she exerted some strength with her left arm, borrowing the strength of her physique to forcefully turn around and send a vicious kick towards Huo Yuhao with her left leg.

As a result of the embarrassment she was feeling, Wu Feng had put all of her strength into this kick. Even though she hadnt used a soul skill, the all-out kick of a Soul Grandmaster that was using her martial soul couldnt be underestimated.

However, Wu Feng made another miscalculation. Huo Yuhao suddenly pulled his left leg back mid-kick, then went down into a squat, allowing him to dodge Wu Fengs kick. Immediately afterwards, he nimbly shot forwards and firmly slapped Wu Fengs lower back with his palms.
