Volume 42, Chapter 580.3: The Scorpion Tiger Dies and Zhong Li Comes Out (2/2)
Had Huo Yuhao really mastered spatial power? The answer was no, because Huo Yuhao only had a brief and superficial understanding of spatial power.
Zhongli Wu’s suspicions were also correct, because only Ultimate Douluos could control spatial power. More accurately put, only individuals with two soul cores could do so.
A human with two soul cores could use his two soul cores’ connection to sense and feel everything in the world more intricately. Spatial power was among those things.
Those who formed two soul cores through the Yin Yang Complement method would have a much easier time feeling and sensing everything, because their strength was produced as Yin and Yang clashed and fused in their bodies. There was a certain extent of spatial transformation embodied within them.
Therefore, even though Huo Yuhao’s control over spatial power was still very shallow, his ability to understand was even stronger than other Ultimate Douluo.
Faint light flickered as Huo Yuhao’s expression grew strange, because his understanding of spatial power grew deeper with every break through space.
What was spatial power? Spatial power was just different nodes of time. One who wished to master the secrets of spatial power also had to master the transformations of time. The secrets contained within this were extraordinarily profound.
Those blades forced Huo Yuhao to understand spatial power a little better, and he couldn’t evade every blade because he was still a little unfamiliar with what he was doing. However, a single blade couldn’t really hurt him with his Icy War God’s Armor.
The reason why he couldn’t use spatial power to phase to someplace else was because he wasn’t familiar enough with it. If the Beast God had been here, so what if there wasn’t any air around him to use? The Beast God would penetrate directly through space and appear right in front of Zhongli Wu.
But even so, Zhongli Wu was still greatly astonished.
The blades suddenly stopped as the tornadoes appeared once more. There wasn’t just a single tornado, but many small tornados concentrated and stacked together. The tornados were actually multiplying into each other as they became an even larger one.
The air was being torn apart, and some of the tornado’s strength was even starting to create gashes in space.
You can draw upon spatial power, can’t you? Then I shall tear open space and mess everything up. Let’s see how you can control space then.
The Beast God would have been able to control space if he were here, but Huo Yuhao couldn’t really do that because he was just starting out.
Huo Yuhao’s body swayed amid the strong winds, and his Icy War God’s Armor radiated intense dark blue light and blocked the winds around him. However, even lower-tier soul masters could tell that he was expending a lot of soul power to do this.
However, Huo Yuhao didn’t seem to care. His movements were very slow, and his arms slowly closed around his body as a strange force appeared as his hands wrapped around himself.
That was a small air flow, and the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion’s silhouette appeared behind Huo Yuhao’s back. Huo Yuhao was protecting this sphere like a jewel as it gradually took shape, and it was rotating in a direction opposite to the tornado.
Does he plan to use this small air flow to resist my tornado? My tornado will just instantly consume it.
Zhongli Wu’s face was filled with contempt, but he didn’t do anything. He wanted to defeat Huo Yuhao, but he didn’t want to kill him. He could only convert Huo Yuhao into the Holy Ghost Church’s Holy Son by capturing him, and only then could he maximize his profit.
Zhongli Wu had chosen to enter a war of attrition from the beginning, but who knew that he had to consume so much because of his tactics in the end.
Zhongli Wu had sent four people, and two perished in battle, one was returned in exchange, while the last was just missing. Huo Yuhao’s strength had far exceeded his expectations, and he had to be equivalent to a Transcendent Douluo. Furthermore, Huo Yuhao was a Transcendent Douluo with an Ultimate martial soul. There had to be something peculiar about that soul tool on Huo Yuhao’s body as well. Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly become a Transcendent Douluo at such a young age.
But so what? Huo Yuhao still had to consume energy even if he was a Transcendent Douluo, and he would definitely be defeated if he expended energy continuously.
Therefore, what Zhongli Wu wanted to see most was for Huo Yuhao to continue using his soul power. He could only admit defeat once he was beyond a certain threshold.
Zhongli Wu’s tornado contained terrifying strength, but he had some way to minimize his own expenditure. This was his Bone Dragon King’s doing, as it could perfectly control the element of wind so that he could minimize the soul power that he had to use.
The airflow in Huo Yuhao’s arms slowly became bigger, but the size was relative. The small sphere started releasing its aura, but it was immediately broken once it touched the destructive cyclone.
