Chapter 84 Why don't you become an elder?
In response to Hu Qian's praise, Huo Yuhao humbly replied, "Vice Dean, your fighting spirit is powerful and your body is strong. Even if the cold energy explodes, you should be able to suppress it in time and not suffer too much damage."
"Alright, alright, stop flattering me." Hu Qian waved his hand, his smile widening. "Our sparring ends here—"
"Vice Dean," Huo Yuhao interrupted him, a strange light flashing in his eyes, "I have one more move, and I would like to ask you for your final guidance."
"Oh?" Amber's interest was piqued. "Go ahead and use it!"
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, his gaze becoming incredibly focused. He clenched his fist, activated his Qi control technique, and the spiritual weapon longsword that had fallen to the ground in the distance flew back into his hand with a "hum".
With a thought, he communicated with the Nine-Flame Ice Flame. The Ice Flame Phoenix hovering beside him let out a clear cry and instantly surged into the longsword in his hand.
The blade hummed, and icy blue flames flowed and condensed on its surface, eventually transforming into a lifelike ice phoenix pattern. Terrifyingly low temperatures and destructive fiery auras intertwined and permeated the air.
Huo Yuhao raised his longsword, fully activating the Zhou Tian Technique within his body. In the bright daylight, starlight fell, merging with all his battle qi and spiritual power into the longsword in his hand.
Not only that, Huo Yuhao's thoughts spread out, and he drew upon all the spiritual energy within a radius of dozens of miles, merging it with the battle qi in his longsword.
The once nimble longsword now weighed more than a thousand pounds, and the violently fluctuating energy within it had almost reached the limit that Huo Yuhao could maintain.
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to use his emotional power to stabilize the energy within and then unleash the Ice Extreme Peerless Technique on Hu Qian, the Nine-Fold Ice Flame integrated into the blade seemed to be touched by that pure emotional power, emitting an even higher-pitched phoenix cry that seemed to pierce the soul!
Boo!
In that instant, Huo Yuhao was struck by a sudden inspiration, as if he had realized another source of power. All his emotional energy flowed into his mind, like dew nourishing it. The seed deep within his heart rippled slightly, and a more restrained, more primal power silently merged into the longsword, spreading across its blade.
There was no earth-shattering momentum, no chilling cold that froze the space. Huo Yuhao abandoned the Ice Extreme Peerless moves, simply gripping the Ice Flame Longsword, and unleashed a single, unremarkable, and utterly unremarkable strike at Hu Qian in front of him.
A pale blue, thin as a cicada's wing, almost transparent blade of light silently sliced through the air.
At first, Hu Qian didn't pay much attention, habitually unleashing a powerful palm strike to meet the attack. However, the moment the seemingly light, dark blue blade of light made contact with the emerald green palm strike, a sharp "whoosh!" rang out.
There was no loud collision! The palm shadow, powerful enough to withstand "Peerless Ice," was silently cleaved in two like butter sliced by a hot knife! The blade's momentum didn't diminish at all; in fact, it became even faster, heading straight for Hu Qian's face!
An unprecedentedly strong sense of crisis instantly gripped Hu Qian! The relaxation on his face vanished instantly, and his pupils contracted sharply! Almost instinctively, the remaining battle qi in his body surged out wildly without reservation, forming layer upon layer of thick, dark green wooden shields in front of him, while he retreated rapidly!
"Snap, snap, snap!"
The azure blade of light struck the first layer of the wooden shield, producing a soft cracking sound! Immediately afterward, Hu Qian's wooden shield, which was strong enough to withstand attacks from ordinary Dou Huang, shattered!
Soon, the second layer of defense shattered! The third layer trembled violently, cracking everywhere! The power of the blade's edge finally ran out, dissipating into nothingness after piercing through the third layer of defense.
Huo Yuhao, who had unleashed that strike, was instantly drained of all his strength, leaving him no energy to even maintain his Qi control technique. His body plummeted straight down from mid-air. Elder Zhou, who was prepared, flashed forward and caught him steadily.
Ding! A crisp sound.
Huo Yuhao looked down at the spiritual weapon longsword in his hand. He saw that the intricate spiritual patterns on the blade were crumbling inch by inch, and fine cracks were spreading out like a spider web, completely dimming its original vibrant light.
With a series of "crackling" sounds, the fourth-grade spiritual weapon that Huo Yuhao had carefully crafted actually disintegrated from the blade, turning into metal fragments scattered on the ground.
The Zhou Tian Technique continued to operate without stopping. In just a moment, Huo Yuhao had recovered some of his strength. He waved his hand and put all the metal fragments scattered on the ground, along with the knife hilt, into his storage ring.
"Cough cough—" Hu Qian dismissed the tattered wooden shield in front of him, his face pale and a bead of cold sweat even seeping from his forehead. He quickly walked to Huo Yuhao, who was being supported by Elder Zhou, and placed his hands on Huo Yuhao's shoulders with such force that Huo Yuhao felt a dull pain.
Hu Qian's eyes burned with shock and curiosity: "Young Huo! Just now—what kind of fighting technique was that?! You—how did you do that? How could a Grand Master of Battle unleash a strike that even I found threatening?!"
It's no wonder he was so shocked. Previously, Huo Yuhao had displayed the strength of a Dou Wang with the cultivation of a Great Dou Master, which was already hard for Hu Qian to understand. However, it was because Hu Qian's own strength was at the peak of Dou Huang, so he didn't have a deep understanding of the power of a Dou Wang, which was below him.
But when that knife appeared, he truly felt a threat to his life. The surprise and doubt that had been building up all turned into incomprehension at that moment, impacting his reason.
Huo Yuhao felt a tremendous emptiness within his body and a strange power stirring deep within his soul, leaving him somewhat bewildered. That power seemed to transcend emotions, originating from a deeper place, and he didn't even know how to explain it.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's silent and slightly confused expression, Hu Qian and Elder Zhou, who was also looking on with suspicion, exchanged a glance and tacitly decided not to ask any further questions.
"Alright! Alright!" Hu Qian withdrew his hands, scratched his head slightly, and revealed a warm smile: "These kids nowadays—they like to keep all their special skills to themselves."
"Then let's call this a draw." Elder Zhou's old face revealed a mischievous smile as he said to Hu Qian, "Vice Dean, you're really regressing the more you cultivate!"
"What tie?! I won!" A plume of white smoke billowed from Hu Gan's head, his face as red as a spiced egg about to explode. "That Huo kid's out of steam!"
"Hey! If it weren't for Huo holding back—" Elder Zhou said disdainfully, "You, a Dou Huang, fought like this against a student, and you still have the nerve to say you won!"
Hu Gan pounced on Elder Zhou, grabbed him by the collar, and shook him violently: "If you were to go up there, you wouldn't last two moves before you're beaten to a pulp!"
"Huh? Vice Dean? Elder Zhou?" Huo Yuhao stood to the side, somewhat embarrassed. Judging from their emotional fluctuations, he figured the two old men were probably just joking around, so he didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Oh, right!" Hu Qian pressed down on Elder Zhou with one hand, reached into his pocket, took out a scroll that was still warm from his body, and tossed it to Huo Yuhao.
"With your abilities—you don't need to be a student. Why don't you just join as an elder? I think you'd be a good fit to take over Old Zhou's position."
"Why?"
