Douluo ice demon Yuhao

Xu Tianzhen's head was still groggy. Fortunately, the necklace helped him withstand most of the power of the soul impact, so his mental strength was not greatly affected.

She swayed around the field in an imageless way, trying hard not to fall down. After a long time, she asked in a daze: "You, how do you know that I am an innocent princess?"

"Is there another person named Xu Tianzhen in Mingdu?" Huo Yuhao said helplessly.

Xu Tianzhen was still a little confused: "Are you from Mingdu? Have you heard of me?"

Huo Yuhao was too lazy to argue: "Do you still remember our bet? If I win, you can admit defeat on behalf of Mingdu Academy."

"I, I..." Xu Tianzhen regained consciousness and decisively refused, "No."

Huo Yuhao frowned: "Princess Tianzhen, the bet you just made?"

Xu Tianzhen turned around: "As a princess, I will naturally not break my word, but I am the captain of Mingdu College, how can I just admit defeat on behalf of the college? Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Xu Tianzhen said with a playful smile: "Unless you lend me your flying soul guide for fun, I will agree to it."

She still couldn't forget Huo Yuhao's flying board.

"Then forget it." Huo Yuhao shrugged and said calmly, "Next one."

Seeing that his coquettish behavior failed, Xu Tianzhen pouted, turned to the referee and shouted: "You... hum, referee, let's not compete anymore, I will admit defeat tomorrow."

After saying that, she ignored anyone and walked back to the rest area with a sullen face.

The referee opened his mouth and stood there blankly, not yet recovering from the shock.

He is just a round-robin competition referee with a cultivation level of Soul Saint. The radiant light that Xu Tianzhen was under the gaze of the sun just now is no longer something he can stop.

Even with his strength, he couldn't block Xu Tianzhen's full blow, so he had no choice but to notify the referee immediately.

In fact, before he could even move, Bupo Douluo Zheng Zhan, the referee, had already flown into the air and looked down at the field with a solemn expression.

As the referee, he naturally had to control the casualties in the game. He knew Princess Tianzhen well, but he did not expect that Xu Tianzhen would show all his trump cards so easily in the first game of the round-robin tournament.

Zheng Zhan frowned. Even the metal competition platform began to melt under the high temperature. If he didn't take action, Huo Yuhao would most likely be wiped out by the high temperature.

But just when he was about to take action, the orange-red light that enveloped the field disappeared.

Zheng Zhan's expression gradually eased, he glanced at the field a few more times, and yelled at the referee: "Why are you still dazed? Announce the result of the game." After that, he flew back to the podium.

The referee looked around for a while and then announced loudly: "The first game of the fourth group, Longhumen wins."

Xu Tianzhen returned to the rest area glumly, and Lu Jun and other team members came to greet him.

"Captain, why did you just admit defeat?"

"Why don't you admit defeat? Which of you can beat him?" Xu Tianzhen was still angry and rolled his eyes at Lu Jun, "You?"

Lu Jun turned his head knowingly.

"Or you?" Xu Tianzhen looked at another member of the Mingdu team.

When no one spoke, Xu Tianzhen snorted and said to himself: "Huo Yuhao, right? After the competition is over, I will tell the emperor brother to obediently hand over the flying soul tool."

Xu Tianzhen's complaint could not escape Huo Yuhao's mental detection. When he heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy.

He was very curious, if he gave the flying board as a gift to Xu Tianran, would he be directly accused of insulting the Holy Emperor?

Giving a skateboard to a cripple does not seem to mean anything other than provocation.

"How do you feel about doing it yourself?" When Huo Yuhao returned to the rest area, Ice Emperor stood up and asked.

"The harvest is good, I got the information I wanted." Huo Yuhao took off the image soul guide from his body and said with satisfaction.

It records the whole process of his battle with Xu Tianzhen.

Tianmeng came over and asked curiously: "Yuhao, why did you collect this?"

"Of course it is only for study and research." Huo Yuhao threw the image soul guide into the air, drew an arc in the air, and then landed in his hand.

"It's time to go to the soul mentor competition. Let me think about what kind of soul guidance device I can use to replicate these moves."

On the podium.

Xu Tianran looked at the defeated Mingdu team without saying a word.

Zhong Liwu said: "Your Highness, it seems that the Sun Martial Spirit is still slightly inferior to the Ultimate Ice."

Xu Tianran nodded slightly, his expression not pretty.

Zhong Liwu added: "In fact, in my opinion, Princess Tianzhen has no chance of winning. She appeared too early."

"Team Mingdu can send a few players to kill Huo Yuhao's soul power first. When his condition declines, it won't be too late for Princess Tianzhen to play again."

"And it's really not a smart move to use all your cards as soon as you appear."

"It's just a round robin now, and many teams even chose to give up strategically in order to hide their strength in the first game. With all due respect, Your Highness, Princess Tianzhen is a little too emotional as the captain."

When Xu Tianzhen was mentioned, Xu Tianran's expression softened a little. He couldn't refute anything Zhong Liwu said. He could only smile and shake his head: "Unfortunately, my sister was born to be unruly and willful, playful and rebellious, and she is the only one directly connected to the royal family.

My princess has been spoiled rotten by my father and our royal brothers since she was a child."

"Her cultivation talent is the best among us, and she has already broken through to the Soul Emperor level before she was twenty years old. Growing up, how could we not give her anything she likes? Now she likes it again

How can Huo Yuhao’s flying soul guide be able to sit still?”

The sounds on the competition stage were transmitted to the podium through the sound transmitting soul guide, and they could clearly hear the bet between Xu Tianzhen and Huo Yuhao.

Orange smiled and said: "Your Highness, it's not a bad thing for the innocent princess to be like this. The royal family has had many rules since they were young. It's a blessing to be able to live as freely and freely as the innocent princess."

Xu Tianran nodded lightly and said: "Juzi, Tianzhen is about to graduate from Mingdu College and return to the palace. As the emperor's sister-in-law, you have to guide her more in the future. She can no longer be as willful as before."

Orange chuckled and agreed: "This is natural. The innocent princess is not young anymore. How can she be as willful as a child anymore."

"Not too young..."

Xu Tianran recited these words silently in his heart, and suddenly said: "Master Hongchen Hall, I wonder if your grandchildren have any romantic relationships in the academy?"

As soon as he opened his mouth and took the initiative to mention the Hongchen brothers and sisters, Jing Hongchen was immediately alert.

Jing Hongchen quickly started practicing Tai Chi: "Your Highness, the grandsons of my veteran are indulged in practicing in the academy, so they have no idea about this yet."

"However, the veteran will not force this. The younger generation has their own ideas. We, the older generation, will not interfere and let them worry about it on their own, haha..."

Xu Tianran said: "The family tradition of the Hongchen family is quite liberal and open-minded."

The monarch and his ministers were chatting with each other. No one made it clear, but everyone knew the meaning.

Jing Hongchen cursed secretly in his heart.

What Xu Tianran clearly meant was, since Xiao Hongchen and Xu Tianzhen are about the same age, can the Hongchen family interact with the royal family?

Of course, Jing Hongchen couldn't agree, so he just ignored it.

The Hongchen family is a major noble of the Sun and Moon Empire, but it is a little different from other nobles. There is no marriage relationship between them and the royal family.

Hongchen brother and sister have noble status and extremely good talents. Their status and talents are completely worthy of the royal family, but Jing Hongchen will never agree.

He knew deeply that even if the Hongchen family really planned to marry, they would not choose Xiao Hongchen, let alone the royal family.

Mingdetang is the Hongchen family's biggest source of wealth and support. The Hongchen family has always maintained a high degree of independence from the royal family. Jing Hongchen is unwilling to be completely tied to the royal family in this way.

He has further plans for the future of these two heirs.

Whether a family should choose a male heir or a female heir does not seem to be a question worthy of discussion. The answer is obvious, it must be to choose a male heir as the future head of the family.

But if you think about it carefully, the logic does not seem to be so obvious.

Generally speaking, male heirs have stronger talents and are naturally more suitable as the head of the family.

However, in the process of the future growth of the family head, he will face various risks, and it will cost a lot to cultivate. If the martial spirit weakens, mutates, and dies midway, the investment will be lost. For a small family like the Hongchen family,

Elite families cannot afford such losses.

But what if a female heir is chosen?

Then the family can directly select talented men to join the family by selecting sons-in-law. It is also an investment, and this selection method directly transfers most of the costs.

It's just that the loyalty of outsiders is definitely not as good as that of insiders, and the risk of guarding against domestic thieves is also higher.

Of course, this logic is based on the assumption that it is a completely political marriage and does not take into account the extremely unstable variable of love.

After all, there are cases in history of male heirs betraying their families for true love, right?

Jing Hongchen naturally still plans to train Xiao Hongchen as the next master of Mingde Hall. As for the others, they are only alternatives.

Observation area, Sun Moon Team.

Meng Hongchen looked at the field in surprise: "The strength of the innocent princess has reached such a terrifying level. She is truly worthy of being the royal family's Sun Martial Spirit."

Under Xu Tianzhen's terrifying high temperature, the ground on the competition stage had melted and turned into liquid metal.

Xiao Hongchen frowned and nodded, saying in a low voice: "It's a pity that he is still not Huo Yuhao's opponent."

"Yeah, but I didn't expect that such an innocent princess would be no match for Huo Yuhao. He must have used those messy spiritual skills again."

Meng Hongchen didn't notice Xiao Hongchen's expression and asked himself.

"Brother, my martial spirit has been restrained by Princess Tianzhen. What are your chances of winning if you meet Princess Tianzhen?"

Xiao Hongchen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Not only you, but also my martial spirit was restrained by Princess Tianzhen."

"Under such high temperatures, my soul cannon won't last long before it melts."

His ability is to control metal, but under such terrifying high temperatures that can easily melt metal, his ability is useless.

The martial souls of both brothers and sisters were restrained by the Sun Wuhun. If the Sun and Moon team met the Mingdu team, it was hard to say who would win. Fortunately, they were not divided into a group.

Xiao Hongchen quickly restored his confident smile.

"But Princess Tianzhen takes a long time to prepare for releasing her soul skills. I can definitely defeat her before she takes action."

But his smile didn't last long, and soon he showed a sad look again.

Only then did Meng Hongchen notice that something was wrong with his expression and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Hongchen muttered: "It's nothing, I just feel a stabbing pain in my back for some reason today."

…

Green hotel.

Tonight is the second round of the Xishui League Division.

All the participants have no names, and some only have a number. No one will show their real name in this kind of underground power competition.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was quietly waiting for the start of the game in the VIP room prepared for the players.

"Lord Holy Son, this is your number." Beside him, two disciples of Underworld Thunder Douluo respectfully handed over a number plate.

Their numbers are ninety-six and ninety-eight respectively.

Huo Yuhao said nothing and took the number plate casually. The two of them did not dare to ask any more questions.

"Ninety-nine."

He glanced at the numbers on the number plate, didn't put them away after reading them, and just kept watching.

"You are so fascinated, what are you thinking about?" Ice Emperor asked, "Ninety-nine, ninety-nine, Jiujiu, are you thinking about Princess Jiujiu?"

Huo Yuhao admitted frankly: "I did think of her."

He was silent for a while and said: "My power of destiny seems to have become more active recently, and some weird thoughts have been popping up in my mind."

Ice Emperor raised his eyebrows: "The power of destiny? You seem to have not mentioned this power for a long time."

Tian Meng, who was lying on the snow and squirming, said weakly: "Is that power really useful? Why do I feel that it is no different from just imagining it?"

"Just think of it as my sixth sense." Huo Yuhao said lightly, "There is always a feeling that I will encounter a series of very complicated and uncontrollable things soon, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger."

Electrolux said: "Child, are you sure you only felt this way recently?"

"Sure."

Electrolux thought for a while and asked: "Do you still remember how your power of destiny came from?"

"Remember."

Huo Yuhao suddenly paused.

He carefully recalled the situation at that time, and seemed to have thought of some very important details.

Unconsciously, his brows wrinkled.

"Do you believe in this so-called fate?" Snow Emperor's cold voice sounded slowly, "Do you even have the heart to resist fate?"

"Obviously, Snow Emperor, you have not thought about the logic behind your destiny."

Huo Yuhao smiled.

"You said you wanted to resist fate."

"Exactly."

"Then fate has predicted that you will resist it. Will you abide by it or resist it?"

Snow Emperor stopped answering.

Huo Yuhao did not continue the topic and turned his attention to the entrance of the VIP room. A tall and powerful young man walked into the room.

He is exactly He Caitou in disguise.

He Caitou sat down not far from Huo Yuhao. The number on his number plate was eighty-eight.

Neither of them showed their true appearance. They glanced at each other and then looked away, just like strangers.
