Xu Tianran weren't trying to gain fame by stepping on Huo Yuhao. Given their emotional intelligence and their attitude towards Huo Yuhao, they certainly wouldn't do such a thing.
It was simply that Huo Yuhao's reputation as a peerless genius had already spread throughout the continent, especially among the citizens of the Sun-Moon Empire, who were well aware of his monstrous genius.
Xu Tianran didn't need to defeat him; simply demonstrating his equal in battle would be enough.
This would let the entire Sun-Moon Empire know that he, the Crown Prince, was destined to become the next Emperor, destined to lead the Sun-Moon Empire to unification!
Huo Yuhao could sense Xu Tianran's intentions.
It was for this reason that, after the three of them arrived at the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy's Soul Fighting Arena, they didn't expel the others present, but allowed them to watch, allowing the battle to spread throughout the Sun-Moon Empire as quickly as possible. After
entering the arena, Huo Yuhao smiled and said to Xu Tianran across from him.
"Brother Tianran, you'd better be careful,"
Xu Tianran said nonchalantly, a graceful smile plastered across his face.
"Don't underestimate me, Yuhao! Perhaps my strength will surprise you!"
Xu Tianran wasted no time. A flash of purple light emanated from his body, and the Purple Brilliant Heaven-Destroying Dragon was unleashed. Seven spirit rings—yellow, purple, and black—rose from his feet, adding a dazzling touch of color to the fighting arena.
Wow!
Upon seeing that Xu Tianran, the crown prince, was a Seven-Ringed Spirit Sage, the entire arena erupted in shock. Everyone in the fighting arena, including Xiao Hongchen, gazed at the seven spirit rings surrounding Xu Tianran, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
"Wow! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is actually a Soul Sage? Is this true?"
"I wonder if I'm seeing things. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been very low-key, but now that we meet, he's so powerful?"
"If I remember correctly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't be that old, right? To have reached the Soul Sage level at such a young age, his talent is definitely top-tier, even in the entire Sun-Moon Empire, or even the entire continent!"
"But isn't the Sun the inherited Martial Spirit of our Sun-Moon Empire's royal family? How is His Royal Highness's Martial Spirit different?"
"You don't even know that? Legend has it that only the truly gifted within the royal family can awaken another top-tier Martial Spirit, the Purple Brilliant Sky-Slaying Dragon! This Martial Spirit is even more powerful than the Sun Martial Spirit!"
Xu
Tianran was very satisfied with the reactions of the onlookers, but Huo Yuhao's indifference was a little unexpected.
"Yuhao, have you guessed my strength?"
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly at this, observing Xu Tianran's seven spirit rings and the aura he emanated.
"I have a vague suspicion. I know that with your personality, Brother Tianran, even with the health issues you faced previously, you would never have given up cultivation."
Huo Yuhao understood Xu Tianran's ambition and talent better than anyone else.
In the original novel, even without a chance to recover, Xu Tianran managed to forcibly raise his spirit power to the level of Super Douluo 96.
What a concept!
Even if Xu Tianran consumed numerous elixirs designed to maximize his potential, there still had to be sufficient potential to exploit it!
Haven't you seen how many ninth-level spirit masters in the Sun-Moon Empire were stuck at the 94th level? No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break through the shackles and become Super Douluo?
It's no exaggeration to say that Xu Tianran was truly a genius held back by the throne!
Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised at all that he now possessed Soul Sage-level cultivation. He even thought that Xu Tianran had restrained himself somewhat, seeing hope, and no longer resorting to drugs like in the original novel. Coupled
with the Life Gold he had gifted him, not only had Xu Tianran's health been restored to its former state, but the side effects of the various elixirs he had previously consumed had likely completely disappeared!
In this case, Xu Tianran's talent is probably not inferior to Xiao Hongchen at all, and may even surpass Xiao Hongchen!
After taking a deep breath, Xu Tianran looked at Huo Yuhao and said in a deep voice. "Watch out, Yuhao! I won't hold back! And I won't give you the chance to use Mirror Flower and Water Moon!"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's lips curled slightly, and he ran his hand through his hair, his expression suddenly becoming odd.
"When did you start to have the illusion that I wasn't using Mirror Flower and Water Moon?"
As Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Xu Tianran's expression suddenly changed.
He was horrified to find that everything around him seemed perfectly normal, yet because of Huo Yuhao's words, it seemed as if everything was constantly changing. He
couldn't tell, he really couldn't tell!
Xu Tianran didn't want to waste any more time. He stomped his foot hard and charged directly at Huo Yuhao, attempting to forcibly break the illusion he had created.
However, to everyone else, this scene looked bizarre.
On the ring, Xu Tianran was constantly spinning within a five-meter radius, and all his attacks missed, not even touching the corner of Huo Yuhao's clothes.
Watching this scene, everyone looked at Huo Yuhao with a hint of fear.
The rumors were true. Even against powerful spirit masters, Huo Yuhao was the last person to face. You'd lose without even realizing it!
As they lamented this, they noticed Huo Yuhao had released Mirror Flower and Water Moon and instead engaged Xu Tianran with the power of his second spirit.
Just as Xu Tianran initially didn't want to rise to prominence by stepping on Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao also didn't want Xu Tianran's debut to be a disgrace.
The martial arts world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's also about the ways of the world!
Xu Tianran had been trying every trick in the book to build a close relationship with him. If Huo Yuhao insisted on being so disrespectful to Xu Tianran, what was he really after? Just the reputation of a genius? Interesting?
"Interesting opponents! I want to fight them both!"
Ji Juechen, a sword in his arms, exclaimed as he watched Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianran fiercely battle on the ring.
Jing Ziyan, standing nearby, turned to look and was shocked to see Ji Juechen, the sword-obsessed warrior, his eyes blazing with fire, his body radiating a fierce fighting spirit.
"Goodness! Is Ji Juechen trying to stir up trouble again?"
Jing Ziyan suddenly felt a surge of anxiety.
If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianran—one a universally recognized genius, the other a crown prince with his heir apparent confirmed—sparing with them, if one accidentally injures the other, it could be disastrous!
Jing Ziyan had great confidence in Ji Juechen. Even after witnessing their prowess firsthand, she didn't believe this sword-obsessed warrior was any weaker than them.
However, after considering the consequences of injuring them, Jing Ziyan offered earnest advice.
"Ji Juechen, I think you should give up on that idea. Those two..."
Before Jing Ziyan could finish her words, upon seeing Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianran's battle over and both ceased, Ji Juechen stamped his foot and vanished.
The next second, Ji Juechen appeared on the stage, looked at the two of them with fiery eyes and said,
"Can you two fight me too?"
