Chapter 302.3.The Lofty Blood-Coagting Carving Knife


    Since Huo Yuhao was affected by this strange power, he lost the opportunity to bring down Gao Dalou instantly. The impact of the high-powered cannon charge on Gao Dalou had also ended. While Gao Dalou looked a little dirty, he wasnt hurt. Both of them were astonished when they looked at one another.


    Is, is that a ss 5 soul tool? Gao Dalou asked with a shocked expression. It seemed like he had forgotten that the two of them were still in a tournament.


    Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, ss 4. A ss 5 offensive-type soul tool cant be supported with just one formation array. Werent you watching me just now?


    But


    Huo Yuhao said, Lets have a private conversation when the tournament ends.


    Alright! Gao Dalou agreed to his request immediately. As his hands moved, the shock cannon was fired once again. Even though he was astonished, it didnt mean that he was conceding defeat. There were a lot of rare metals at stake!


    Huo Yuhao smiled and lifted his right hand, also firing his soul cannon. However, the cannon chargel didnt brush past the shock cannon shell this time. With his immense spiritual power, it was easy for him to lock onto his opponents discharge. It was literally impossible for him to fail to hit it.


    Both cannon shells left the barrel at the same time. They also met at around the center point between the two of them, and blew apart. Suddenly, an intense spark of energy blurred their vision. A terrifying shock and energy undtion spread out and struck the both of them.


    At this point, Gao Dalou felt that he was in a trance, and everything in front of him had turned blurry. For some reason, he felt that he had deviated from his original position. As he subconsciously turned around, he adjusted his position. When he raised his hand, he fired his cannon again. With his current cultivation, he didnt need long to charge his cannon even though he couldnt fire it continuously.


    After that there wasnt anything after that.


    Boom!


    Amidst a reverberating boom, Gao Dalous body was engulfed by electricity. He felt his entire body turning numb, and a terrifying explosion caused him to be very distressed. He was stuck on one side of the barrier, and his blood seemed to stop flowing. He felt extremely ufortable, and wanted to spit out blood. However, he couldnt do so.


    What was going on?


    The same thought appeared in everyones mind. In their eyes, Gao Dalou made a half turn and flew towards the protective barrier to one side after his cannon charge collided with Huo Yuhaos cannon charge. As he was only one meter away, he was caught in the explosion of his own ss 4 shock cannon shell. The shock flung him away. Blood still flowed out of his nose and mouth even when he increased his soul power to protect himself. He looked pathetic.


    Fortunately, it was only a ss 4 soul tool. If it was a ss 5, he would have been killed if he didnt unleash his soul skills and other soul tools to defend himself.


    Huo Yuhao wore a smile on his face. As he saw Gao Dalou sliding to the floor, he turned to the judge and said, I guess its time to deem me the winner. If I fire one more time, hell be dead.


    Yes, you win, the judge nodded. Although the situation was very weird, the strength of Huo Yuhaos soul tool was indeed greater than Gao Dalous shock cannon. However, Gao Dalou decided to incapacitate himself so that he would lose for some unknown reason. Did he really think he had no chance at all?


    Huo Yuhao turned the wheels of his wheelchair and rolled over in front of Gao Dalou. He smiled and asked, Brother Gao, are you okay?


    As he was affected by the shock cannon shell, Gao Dalous entire body was still shaking. He struggled to prop himself up. What happened? Why was I struck by my own shock cannon? Whats going on?


    Huo Yuhao chortled and said, Youve lost. Lets go.


    Gao Dalou still felt very dizzy even as he exited the Duel Region. He felt as if he was walking through a world of cotton.


    After Huo Yuhao went to im his reward, he asked, Brother Gao, shall we find a ce to sit?


    Gao Dalouughed bitterly and replied, Alright, but youll have to treat me. I have no money.


    Alright, Huo Yuhao smiled as he answered.


    Wang Donger was already there by this point. Huo Yuhao instructed Na Na to wait for He Caitou, since he hadnt finished yet. Wang Donger pushed his wheelchair, and they left with Gao Dalou.


    He wasnt worried about his bet. Chen An was around, and thus nothing would go wrong. Gold soul coins were just numbers to him. Rare metals were more important. However, now was not the time.


    Wang Donger didnt know about the interaction between Huo Yuhao and Gao Dalou. She was a little curious as he brought his opponent along with him. However, her current appearance was only as Huo Yuhaos maid, and thus she couldnt say anything. After the three of them left the hotel, they started walking away from the direction that led to the Ming Yue Hotel.


    ------


    Back in the Golden Hall,


    Chen An, whats the background ofpetitor 66? His soul tool is extraordinary! the chief judge asked Chen An. Initially, he had wanted to offer Huo Yuhao money for his soul cannon. It was obviously a ss 4 soul tool, but it had unleashed the strength of a ss 5! Whether it was in terms of the materials used or the time taken for Huo Yuhao to create his soul tool, they were both very impressive. With such a technique, he might even be able topletely alter the method of how soul tools were created.


    Chen An softly said, Judge Chen, its not that I want to remain mum. Its just that we cant trifle with him. He As he spoke to this point, he made a gesture.


    The chief judge was shocked. Are you sure?


    Chen An leaned up to his ears and whispered a few words.


    Alright. You can go. Dont tell anyone what I asked you about. A look of fear shed across the judges eyes before he regained his normal appearance.


    Yes! Chen An sniggered to himself. How can I let you get close to Sir Tang Wu? I still need him to help me get rich!


    ------


    Huo Yuhao brought Gao Dalou and Wang Donger to find a bar that wasnt too big.


    While the bar wasnt huge, there was a hubbub ofughter and shouting. The moment they walked in the door, they were greeted by pandemonium. Huo Yuhao furrowed his brow at this.


    Little Dong, go and find the manager, Huo Yuhao instructed.


    Wang Donger pinched his back with some force. After that, she furrowed her brow and walked in. Very soon, a waiter walked out.


    Is there a private room? Huo Yuhao asked.


    No, its full, the waiter said without any hesitation as he looked at him in his wheelchair before ncing at the slipshod Gao Dalou. He even wore a slightly disdainful expression and spoke sarcastically. You shouldnt being to a bar in this state. Nody will like a cripple.


    Huo Yuhao smiled. Thats not true. Cripples have their rights too, especially rich ones. As he gestured, Wang Donger retrieved a bag of gold soul coins.


    Huo Yuhao opened the bag and swayed it slightly. Clinking sounds could be hearding from the bag.


    The waiters expression changed, and heughed. Im sorry, distinguished guest. I apologize for looking down on you. Although there arent any rooms left, there are still two seats avable.


    Huo Yuhao took out a gold soul coin and said, Give me the quietest spot. Weve got business to discuss.


    No problem. The waiters expression changed after he received the gold soul coin.


    This wasnt a dubious setting like the Golden Hall, it was just a bar. Huo Yuhao wouldnt hold it against a mere waiter. Sometimes, using money was more effective than violence.


    Very soon, the three of them were brought to a booth at a corner of the bar. The booth consisted of seats that were separated by a few wooden benches. There were two long sofas in this booth, and a tea-table. Although this booth looked very ordinary, it was still very quiet.


    Bring your most expensive liquor. Huo Yuhao instructed the waiter.


    The waiters eyes shed, and he replied, Alright! Please wait a minute. Itll be here soon!


    Gao Dalou looked after the waiter, who had quickly scurried off, and couldnt help but say, Brother Tang, youll be cklisted by them like that.


    Huo Yuhao chortled and replied, cklisted? They can do it if they want to. Have you forgotten my identity?


    Gao Dalou replied, Alright. Lets not talk about that now. What was going on just now? Why was I struck by my own shock cannon?


    Huo Yuhao answered, I used a small trick to daze you temporarily. After that, you were confused, and turned in the wrong direction. In such a narrow space, any slight deviation in your sense of direction was sufficient to cause a huge difference in where your attack hit. Your cannon was fired towards the protective barrier next to you, thus you absorbed the entire impact of the explosion. Im also very curious about something. Why does your shock cannon contain a force even scarier than numbness? Not only can it interrupt a soul skill, but it even caused my blood to stop flowing. Although it onlysted for a second, its impact was quite great. Otherwise, I wouldve taken you down in my first attack.


    After hearing Huo Yuhaos question, Gao Dalou hesitated. He lowered his head and didnt mutter a word.


    Huo Yuhao didnt probe either. This was undoubtedly his secret.


    Its fine if youre unwilling to tell me. Lets talk about something else. You mentioned that youve never studied at an academy before. Since this is the case, its quite a miracle that you were able to reach the standard of a ss 5 soul engineer!


    A ss 5 soul engineer was like a five-ringed Soul King. For him to reach such a level through self-learning before he was even thirty, it showed how much talent and hardwork he had put in!
