Chapter 158: Parallel Huo Yuhao's Third Soul Ring, 100,000 Years?

[Hearing Dai Huabin's words, Zhu Lu nodded quickly.

Her expression grew solemn.

After the battle with Huo Yuhao, Zhu Lu had come to realize that neither she nor Dai Huabin were on the same level as Huo Yuhao.

Let alone fighting him alone—if they continued to fight like this, both of them would soon be overwhelmed by Huo Yuhao.

So, if they wanted to win now, their only option was to use their final trump card: the martial soul fusion technique.

However, Zhu Lu had no psychological burden about using the martial soul fusion technique, because it was a move she and Dai Huabin shared.

But for Dai Huabin, it was different.

Since he had spoken those words, Dai Huabin knew deep down that he had completely lost to Huo Yuhao—utterly defeated.

If he didn't use the martial soul fusion technique, he would truly be inferior to Huo Yuhao.

This realization had a significant impact on his self-esteem.

But Dai Huabin still wanted to win!

Even if the means were dirty, even if the victory wasn't glorious—winning was winning! So, he was determined to use the martial soul fusion technique against Huo Yuhao.

Both the teachers and students of Shrek Academy were closely watching the scene unfold.

They were all extremely shocked by the strength Huo Yuhao had just displayed.

However, more than that, they were eager to see how Huo Yuhao would handle Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's martial soul fusion technique.

Would he still fight alone as he had done before?

If he did, his chances of winning seemed slim, right? After all, this was a martial soul fusion skill!

But if he didn't fight alone, what could he do? Should he ask Wang Dong'er for help? But that would mean breaking his promise to fight alone.

What would he choose?

At that moment, all the soul masters around the ring were watching with serious, expectant expressions.

Wang Dong'er and Lan Luoluo noticed the movements of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.

Lan Luoluo glanced at Wang Dong'er with concern. "Dong'er, why don't you go help Yuhao? The other side is about to use the martial soul fusion technique."

But Wang Dong'er smiled gently and shook her head. "Don't worry. Believe in Yuhao. He can handle it."

She then turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao, whose face remained calm.

And Huo Yuhao didn't disappoint Wang Dong'er.

As Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were about to begin their martial soul fusion technique, three soul rings suddenly appeared beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.

However, the color of the third soul ring was so bright it almost seemed to glow. It was a blood-red, 100,000-year soul ring. As soon as this soul ring appeared, the atmosphere in the entire venue turned solemn.

The audience froze, many of them thinking they had seen it wrong.

They rubbed their eyes in disbelief, their expressions filled with surprise.

But gradually, they realized they weren't mistaken.

No matter how they looked at it, the third soul ring beneath Huo Yuhao was indeed a blood-red, 100,000-year soul ring.

In an instant, all the soul masters present were left dumbfounded.

"The third soul ring is a 100,000-year soul ring? How is this possible?"

"Is this even right? According to the theoretical system of the ten great soul masters on our Douluo Continent, soul masters are not supposed to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring before their sixth ring! Their bodies can't handle it."

"But what about Huo Yuhao? Why is his third soul ring a 100,000-year soul ring?"

All the soul masters began discussing it, their minds blown by the sight before them.]

Even the soul masters watching from the plane gap were stunned.

They couldn't understand why Huo Yuhao in this parallel world would reveal his 100,000-year soul ring so openly.

It was completely out of character for someone as cautious as him! Even if he wanted to show his strength, surely there was no need to expose such a trump card.

At that moment, everyone couldn't help but start speculating.

But just then, Kong Deming smiled and turned to Jing Hongchen. "Don't you know why he did this?"

Jing Hongchen shook his head. "Please, enlighten me, Master Kong."

Kong Deming sighed. "It seems you're getting old. You must have forgotten the effect of Huo Yuhao's first soul skill in this parallel world?"

Jing Hongchen was slightly stunned. "I haven't forgotten."

Kong Deming shook his head. "No, you definitely have. Let me remind you."

"The principle of Huo Yuhao's first soul skill in the parallel world is to use his mental power to alter the enemy's perception."

"In other words, as long as his mental power is strong enough, he can make his opponent perceive him as anything—whether it's invisible, an illusion, or something else."

"But here's the problem—the prerequisite is that his mental power must be strong enough."

"Although Huo Yuhao in the parallel world has strong mental power, how does it compare to the mental power of those seven-ring, eight-ring, or even nine-ring soul masters?"

"So, his third soul ring, at least in the eyes of those masters, can't be hidden in any way."

"Now you understand why everyone was confused earlier—Huo Yuhao had no way to conceal it."

"What you didn't expect is that he has no other option but to show it. And it's actually better to admit it openly."

"Because if he tried to hide it, people would start doubting him. But if he admits it, no one can really question it."

Kong Deming continued speaking, laying out his reasoning.

And Jing Hongchen quickly realized the truth. "I see now. I didn't realize such an important factor."

But then he added, "Still, how do you explain the third soul ring being a 100,000-year soul ring?"

Kong Deming laughed. "Explain? What's there to explain?"

"What obligation does he have to explain himself to Shrek Academy?"

"He received the opportunity. Does he need to hand it over to Shrek?"

"As long as he's not a soul beast or an evil soul master, what does it matter if his first soul ring is a 100,000-year soul ring? Can Shrek Academy capture him and study him?"

He paused before continuing. "And don't forget—Shrek Academy needs him."

"They all want Huo Yuhao to join. The more powerful he is, the better. And they dare not offend him."

"Because what if Huo Yuhao just decided to leave? They'd have no one to turn to."

"So, the most important thing for them now is how to recruit Huo Yuhao from this parallel world."

"Though, it seems unlikely that he will stay in the future."
