In Chapter 42 of "Soul Land 2: Huo Yuhao, Join Sun and Moon": In the next moment, Xiao Hongchen let out a cold snort and activated his Martial... Discover the next events!

In the next moment, Xiao Hongchen let out a cold snort and activated his Martial Soul. Since his Martial Soul was the Three Legged Golden Toad, golden light immediately surged across his body, covering his legs entirely. At the same time, a golden toad's foot grew from his lower back. Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Hongchen's current state and couldn't help but feel it was extremely ugly. The Hongchen siblings both had high facial value, yet their Martial Souls were toad type. These Martial Souls definitely did not look aesthetically pleasing. At that moment, Xiao Hongchen tossed out a large number of metal spheres, and his first, second, third, and fourth soul rings all lit up in succession. Within just a few breaths, those metal spheres transformed into powerful Rank 5 Soul Cannons, which were then mounted onto his body. As the reserve team captain, Xiao Hongchen's Three Legged Golden Toad was a rare Beast Martial Soul that specialized in metal control. As a result, all five of his soul skills were related to metal in some way. "Ma Rulong! Taste my Soul Cannons!" Xiao Hongchen roared. BOOM! The combined firepower of 128 Rank 5 Soul Cannons was terrifying. Even Ma Rulong, a Soul Emperor, had to brace himself seriously. "Scatter! Avoid Xiao Hongchen's attacks as much as possible! If you can't dodge, counter with your own Soul Cannons or use defensive soul tools! Our priority is to eliminate Xiao Hongchen first as long as we take him out, victory will be ours!" Ma Rulong quickly commanded. To Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen was the core of the enemy team. First, Huo Yuhao, as a mere Grandmaster, was not a threat. Second, Meng Hongchen's Scarlet Gold Ice Toad was indeed powerful, but since they had prior knowledge of her abilities, they could still counter her. However, when it came to Soul Cannon firepower, Meng Hongchen was clearly inferior to Xiao Hongchen. Xiao Hongchen's explosive power was simply too terrifying he had to be eliminated first. "Understood!" Chen Fei and Li Yan nodded in unison and swiftly took action. The battlefield was immediately filled with the thunderous roar of Soul Cannons. Even though Xiao Hongchen's Soul Cannons were powerful, the three opponents' coordinated counterattack quickly suppressed him. He was now forced to fire while dodging, looking rather disheveled. After all, Ma Rulong was a Rank 6 Soul Engineer, while Chen Fei and Li Yan were both Rank 5 Soul Engineers. The combined pressure from the three of them was simply too much, even for Xiao Hongchen. Now using the Soul Cannon Platform Battle Strategy, Ma Rulong's brows furrowed as he observed the fight. "Why is Xiao Hongchen's aim so precise today?" he muttered. "His accuracy is far better than before how is he landing every single shot on target? Usually, he just blankets the battlefield with cannon fire! "And why do I feel like he can predict our attacks in advance? It's almost as if he can see everything we do before we even do it." "Meng! Why haven't you acted yet?" Xiao Hongchen grew impatient and shouted. Although his accuracy had improved significantly, he was still under heavy fire and felt extremely frustrated. At that moment, Huo Yuhao's voice echoed in his mind through Spirit Detection Sharing. "Senior Xiao, please be patient. Senior Meng and I have a guaranteed victory plan." "But we need your cooperation keep their attention focused on you. Senior Meng and I will ambush them, and in doing so, we'll also create an opportunity for you to counterattack." "What?! I have to tank everything?" Xiao Hongchen felt helpless, but he still gritted his teeth and agreed. After all, he had his fifth soul skill, along with multiple Invincible Barriers and defensive soul tools he could definitely endure. At this moment, he had no time to check on Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen, because the enemy's entire barrage was focused on him. If it weren't for Huo Yuhao's first soul skill, which allowed him to predict movements, he would have already been eliminated. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao had wrapped his arms around Meng Hongchen's slender waist as she carried him into the air. There was no other way to enhance her Ice Attribute, he had to be close to her. Her waist was incredibly soft, and there was a faint, pleasant fragrance on her body. However, because he was clinging onto her back, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel her body tense up. From this reaction, it seemed Meng Hongchen was a little nervous. With her Martial Soul activated, Meng Hongchen now had white hair and crimson eyes. This was her first time being this close to a boy, and a light blush crept across her fair and delicate face. Her heartbeat was noticeably faster than usual. Just moments ago, Huo Yuhao had revealed his Ultimate Ice Martial Soul and his Simulation Soul Skill to her, all to secure victory. Of course, he hadn't told her before the match to prevent Ma Rulong's team from making countermeasures. At this moment, Huo Yuhao was using Simulation at full power, camouflaging both himself and Meng Hongchen into the environment completely vanishing from Ma Rulong's team's sight. They silently moved behind Ma Rulong, Chen Fei, and Li Yan. The three of them were completely unaware. In the original story, only certain advanced detection soul tools or those with exceptionally powerful spiritual senses could see through Simulation. Ma Rulong's team had neither. For one, no one brought that kind of detection soul tool into a sparring match. Secondly, such tools were still extremely rare and had not yet been mass produced at this point in time. Thus, Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen successfully infiltrated their blind spot. "Senior Meng, now's the time." Huo Yuhao's voice sounded in Meng Hongchen's mind. Meng Hongchen nodded. A massive white mist, colder than ice, erupted from her palms. She gasped in surprise. "My Ice Attribute feels much purer... as expected of Ultimate Ice!" The bone chilling frost surged toward Ma Rulong's team. The extreme cold made Ma Rulong shudder as he shouted, "Not good! Meng Hongchen's ambushing us!" A piercing chill spread through their bodies. For some reason, Ma Rulong felt like this was far colder than when Meng Hongchen had attacked before. "Scatter! Avoid the mist!" The three immediately split apart to avoid getting poisoned. Ma Rulong's mind raced. "Meng Hongchen snuck up on us without us noticing. That must be Huo Yuhao's doing! I've underestimated him..." "Does he have a soul skill that lets him turn invisible?" He frantically scanned the battlefield, but couldn't see Huo Yuhao or Meng Hongchen anywhere. Just then, Li Yan turned to fire a Soul Cannon, only for Huo Yuhao to strike first Soul Shock! Li Yan staggered back several steps, dazed. In that brief moment, the frost engulfed him entirely. With a thud, he collapsed. Jing Hongchen immediately intervened, removing the incapacitated Li Yan from the battlefield. Watching this unfold, he thought to himself, "Looks like Yuhao's team is going to win. Ma Rulong is doomed." (End of chapter.)Thank you for the support, friends. If you want to read more chapters in advance, go to my Patreon. Read 15 Chapters In Advance: patreon.com/Albino1
