Upon learning that Huo Yuhao's martial soul was the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, Dai Yaoheng's expression changed drastically.
His own father was completely unaware, but he wasn't! Although he had been studying at Shrek Academy, he also frequently returned to the Duke's mansion. He had heard a little about this concubine's child, but his mother had blocked any information about them, so he pretended to know nothing!
Dai Yaoheng was an extremely intelligent person. Dai Hao denied it because he only knew that there were only three people with the White Tiger bloodline in the world. But Dai Yaoheng knew that there was a fourth person with the White Tiger bloodline in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. That person was Aunt Huo's child, Dai Yuhao.
However, he had a feeling that something was going to happen today. His left eyelid kept twitching. Could it be that Huo Yuhao on stage was going to cause trouble? But he quickly laughed at himself, thinking that he was just too nervous.
This is the venue for the Continental Elite High-Level Soul Master Tournament, where countless experts from across the continent have gathered. The Star Luo Imperial City has numerous Title Douluo stationed here. Not to mention that his father, Duke White Tiger, is a Title Douluo-level powerhouse, even their Shrek Academy has Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan, the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, stationed here. Who would dare to act recklessly in such a setting?
There shouldn't be!
On the competition stage, after the two sides exchanged names, Wang Xian'er nodded lightly, waved her hand, and announced the start of the competition.
Zhang Tou Shu's martial soul instantly possessed him, and six optimal soul rings—yellow, purple, black, and white—appeared. One of the black soul rings suddenly shone brightly, and his body instantly transformed into a blur. After his martial soul possessed him, his hands transformed into sharp rat claws, lunging towards Huo Yuhao!
Fifth Soul Skill, Devouring Sky Thrust
In just a moment, his figure appeared behind Huo Yuhao, and a pair of rat claws viciously slashed towards his body!
Huo Yuhao remained unmoved. Just as Zhang Toushu smiled, thinking he was about to succeed, a white tiger phantom suddenly appeared behind Huo Yuhao, sending Zhang Toushu flying several feet away.
This is a white tiger with an extremely powerful aura. It has black wings on its back and colorful stripes all over its body. Its pupils are different colors, and they are also brilliant colors. As soon as the white tiger appears, it exudes a terrifying killing intent and domineering power.
After being glanced at by the white tiger, Zhang Tou Shu felt his whole body freeze. Even his Devouring Rat Martial Soul showed fear. This was the suppressive effect of a high-level Martial Soul, and it was absolute suppression!
A look of fear appeared in Zhang Toushu's heart!
You have to understand, his martial soul is already the top-tier beast martial soul. Huo Yuhao's white tiger can actually make his Devouring Rat feel fear. Just how terrifying is this martial soul!
"The Evil-Eyed White Tiger, no, it should be called the Evil-Eyed Saint King. This young man has actually reverted to the most primordial martial soul of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger clan, the Evil-Eyed Saint King martial soul."
Dai Hao's eyes were filled with disbelief. His shock was beyond words. According to the White Tiger Clan's genealogy, the ancestor of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger was the Evil-Eyed Saint King, a martial soul of terrifying power. It had heterochromatic eyes, wings on its back, and a murderous aura that shook the heavens and a fierce power that astonished the world!
The young man on the competition stage possessed the purest bloodline of the White Tiger clan, and even had a rebirth as the Evil Eye Saint King Martial Soul. This was simply a miracle of the White Tiger clan. At this moment, Dai Hao was already thinking about how to get closer to Huo Yuhao.
However, compared to his excitement, the Duchess of White Tiger's face showed more displeasure and disbelief. She clearly remembered that Huo Yuhao's martial soul was the Spirit Eye, a useless eye martial soul. How could it have suddenly become such a powerful martial soul of the White Tiger clan?
In that case, won't this little beast steal Yaoheng's thunder later?
In her eyes, Dai Yaoheng is the most perfect successor of the White Tiger Clan and the champion of this competition.
Duchess Baihu has made her decision: after this competition ends, she will gather all her subordinates and her family's forces to launch a relentless hunt for Huo Yuhao, so that this little beast and his lowly mother can reunite in the underworld.
Huo Yuhao did not release his soul ring. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted everyone in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to see his White Tiger Martial Soul, he wouldn't have even wanted to release it.
After being shaken off, Zhang Tou Shu immediately adjusted his angle, regained his balance, and launched another attack on Huo Yuhao.
Moreover, using some unknown soul skill, Zhang Tou Shu's figure had vanished from the arena, completely hidden in the shadows, attempting to deliver a fatal blow to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao smiled coldly. It was ridiculous that Zhang Toushu was playing hide-and-seek in front of him, the master of this plane!
A ripple suddenly appeared in the space, and Zhang Toushu's sharp claws emerged from it, aiming straight for Huo Yuhao's throat. However, Huo Yuhao instantly grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the darkness. Zhang Toushu used all his strength, releasing all his soul rings and pushing his soul power output to the limit, but he could not break free even slightly.
The hand that Huo Yuhao seemed to be holding his lightly actually possessed infinite power, rendering all his resistance as if it had sunk to the bottom of the sea!
Huo Yuhao smiled gently at him, but in Zhang Toushu's eyes, that smile was like the smile of a devil!
With a gentle squeeze, Huo Yuhao shattered Zhang Toushu's rat claws inch by inch, and the bones in his entire arm were also completely broken!
He immediately let out a terrifying scream!
"Ahhhhhh..."
The pain of bones breaking inch by inch is something that ordinary people cannot endure. Although Zhang Tou Shu has the cultivation of a Soul Emperor and is only one step away from becoming a Soul Saint, in Huo Yuhao's eyes, he is no different from an ant!
Even without using his mental power, Huo Yuhao's full-force burst could reach hundreds of thousands of kilograms. Even a slight exertion of his power could cause his opponent excruciating pain!
He casually snapped Zhang Toushu's arm and kicked him away. Zhang Toushu, in extreme pain and suffering such a heavy blow, immediately fainted and completely lost his ability to fight.
"In the first round of the individual elimination tournament, Shrek Academy's Zhang Tou Shu is unable to fight. Huo Yuhao wins. Shrek Academy, please arrange the next contestant!"
That's incredible!
Everyone felt the same way: the battle just now was a complete rout. Shrek Academy's powerful Soul Emperor-level experts were powerless against Huo Yuhao, and were knocked to the ground and completely unconscious in just two rounds.
Is this the power of a top-tier beast spirit?
Is this the strength of the captain of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy?
It turns out that he not only has high Soul Guidance cultivation, but also such strong Soul Master cultivation!
On the competition stage, after knocking out his opponent, Huo Yuhao felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't had time to adapt to his increased strength, which made him unable to control his power.
This is perhaps the dilemma of the strong!
Facing such a weak opponent, he must be extremely careful to avoid causing casualties!
If it were just a minor injury, that would be one thing, but this person has been crippled. They need to get medical treatment, otherwise they'll be disqualified from the competition!
With these thoughts in mind, Huo Yuhao's life core circulated rapidly, and a drop of pure life force condensed into a green liquid. Under Huo Yuhao's control, the liquid flowed down his arm and into his bones, beginning to repair the shattered hand of the octopus tree.
At this moment, Wang Xian'er also unleashed her healing light, covering Zhang Toushu's body and giving him a second treatment.
After Zhang Toushu fainted and the referee announced the winner, an enraged Mu Chenxi rushed forward, hugging Zhang Toushu while glaring at Huo Yuhao. "Referee, the rules of the competition state that it's best to stop when the opponent is touched, and not to injure them. The Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy actually resorted to such ruthlessness; it's outrageous!"
Huo Yuhao stood there, unresponsive to her accusations. At this moment, Wang Xian'er spoke up, "Although the leader of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy attacked too heavily, he provided the opponent with basic treatment. Furthermore, thanks to my assistance, although your academy's team members appear seriously injured, their injuries have almost completely healed. My assessment is: minor injuries."
"you..."
Mu Chenxi was furious. She never expected that the other side would dare to humiliate Shrek Academy like this. Not only were they ruthless, but they also managed to heal the injured person after crippling them. It was an absolute humiliation!
"Fine, you just wait!"
After uttering a harsh remark, Mu Chenxi pulled the unconscious Zhang Toushu off the competition stage!
"Teacher Wang Yan, I'll take on him in the next match!" Mu Chenxi's face was full of fighting spirit, not only because Huo Yuhao had just blocked her Golden Sacred Dragon's strongest breath with his bare hands, but also because she knew that among all the Shrek Academy team members, apart from the most mysterious Huo Xingling whose true combat strength could not be evaluated by level, the others were no match for Huo Yuhao!
Only she can go up and fight him!
To everyone's surprise, Wang Yan shook his head fiercely, "Chenxi, you can't go to the next one."
Mu Chenxi was immediately annoyed, but Wang Yan smiled, which made her even more confused!
"We're forfeiting in this individual elimination round and will proceed directly to the 2-2-3 strategy!"
Everyone was shocked by Wang Yan's words. Mu Chenxi was about to retort, but after thinking about it calmly, her eyes lit up involuntarily. The other students had the same reaction. Wang Yan was sure that they were all smart people and could definitely see through his thoughts!
"The opposing Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy team didn't even arrange any substitutes. They only have the captain, vice-captain, and five regular team members. Among them, the powerful Holy Angel Ye Guyi has already been eliminated by us. Now, the only one who can truly fight for Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy is Huo Yuhao."
"Their other five regular team members have only just broken through to the Soul King level. Any one of our Shrek Academy's elite members could easily sweep the opponent away!"
"If we were to fight to the death against that powerful Huo Yuhao, we would be playing right into their hands. But the 2-2-3 battle rule is different. Each person can only participate once, which means he only has one chance to win, while we have two!"
"Giving up the individual elimination rounds is equivalent to winning the championship!"
"good"
Mu Chenxi's eyes lit up immediately. She admitted that Wang Yan's mind worked faster than hers and his analysis was more comprehensive. This was indeed the safest way to win the championship and defend Shrek Academy's glory, without exception.
She immediately put aside her fighting spirit against Huo Yuhao. As the team leader, she had to consider the victory of the entire team, not the personal gains or losses. She would have another chance to fight Huo Yuhao later.
Mu Chenxi immediately stood up and shouted loudly to the referee Wang Xian'er on the competition stage: "Referee, Shrek Academy forfeits this individual elimination match and will skip directly to the 2-2-3 strategy!"
Upon hearing Mu Chenxi's request, Wang Xian'er paused slightly, glanced at Huo Yuhao, and at his signal, nodded coldly before announcing loudly: "Shrek Academy versus Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy, the second individual match of the finals, Shrek Academy forfeits, Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy wins, the score is now tied 1-1. In ten minutes, the third match, a 2-2-3 battle, will be held to determine today's champion."
Shrek Academy's forfeit caused an uproar in the arena. Some spectators felt it was a great pity that they wouldn't be able to see a great match, but the other teams instantly understood Shrek Academy's decision and thought to themselves that Shrek Academy really had guts.
Huo Yuhao immediately saw through their thoughts. Shrek Academy was simply thinking that in the 2-2-3 battle, only he could fight, so a best-of-three series would suffice. However, what they didn't know was that Huo Yuhao could create a large number of geniuses at any time.
Ten minutes is more than enough!
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and shouted loudly at Wang Xian'er, "Referee, if we're just temporarily training, it's not considered a violation, right?"
Wang Xian'er naturally dared not refute the Marshal, and what Huo Yuhao said was indeed not against the rules.
"Of course, you can cultivate however you want within these ten minutes. After all, we Soul Masters can meditate at any time. As long as it's not on the competition field, and not after the competition has officially started, it's all allowed."
When Wang Xian'er said this, no one had any objections. After all, how much strength could they increase by meditating for a few minutes during their rest?
You can't possibly help them break through a major level in just ten minutes, can you?
And even if you break through a major level, so what? You still don't have any spirit rings!
Huo Yuhao's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, but most of them were sarcastic and mocking!
In everyone's eyes, the leader of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy, who had been missing for a long time, was just a clown with some strength but only knew how to make a scene!
Having received Wang Xian'er's reply and the opinions of everyone else, Huo Yuhao finally had no more worries!
Since Shrek Academy doesn't want to fight him and insists on doing this, then he'll play along! He'll show the world what a true pay-to-win player is!
.
Huo Yuhao selected two girls from the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy: Xu Jiaxin and Song Huanhuan.
Both of them were Soul Kings at level 50-something. One had the Star Crown Martial Soul, and the other had the Water Moon Sword Martial Soul, both of which were water-attribute, strong attack-type Martial Souls. They were not bad.
Huo Yuhao didn't know why he chose two girls, but he wouldn't choose a boy, since he was a sucker for good looks!
Huo Yuhao's storage soul tool kept flashing, and one after another, soul bones shimmering with various colors began to appear, floating in mid-air, radiating dazzling light and a powerful aura.
At this moment, everyone on the field stood up and looked in shock at the rest area of the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy. No, to be precise, it should be the twelve powerful soul bones floating in the rest area of the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy!
Ordinary people showed shock and astonishment on their faces, while Soul Masters and some powerful individuals had greed in their eyes. They were breathing rapidly and even wanted to take action directly!
After all, there are twelve soul bones here, and the terrifying aura emanating from them indicates that none of them are less than ten thousand years old!
Terrifying!
The leader of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy, this young man actually took out twelve soul bones that were over ten thousand years old in one go. This is simply terrifying. What kind of terrifying wealth does he have!
The entire competition venue was buzzing with excitement, and some Soul Douluo and Title Douluo level powerhouses were already planning to make a move to snatch it!
However, in the next moment, the eight gates of the city gate of the entire competition venue suddenly opened, and countless Star Luo warriors wearing special armor marched in with neat steps and rushed into the entire competition venue, standing quietly at the entrance of all the passages.
At the same time, all the publicly known guardian Douluos of the Star Luo Empire appeared in all directions of the square, taking up their posts in every corner!
This action immediately silenced everyone in the arena who wanted to pull some tricks, and they could only silently sit back down and watch Huo Yuhao's performance.
However, the greed in their eyes never disappeared!
On the Star Luo Imperial City, Dai Hao and countless ministers were all amazed by Xu Jiawei's strong control over the empire and impressed by the Star Luo royal family's abundant resources!
But little did they know that the smile on Xu Jiawei's face was an act. These people were not under his orders, nor were they recruited by him. Now, the Star Luo Empire was entirely under Huo Yuhao's control!
All he controlled was the Xu family's property and the Imperial Guard.
The troop's arrival was not at Huo Yuhao's behest, but he was very satisfied. His subordinates were efficient, which pleased him greatly.
"Ten minutes is definitely not enough time to absorb them one by one. You two, each absorb six soul bones at the same time. Don't feel pressured, I will help you!"
Xu Jiaxin and Song Huanhuan were both very uneasy after hearing Huo Yuhao's words, but soon their hearts turned to ecstasy.
Soul bones are incredibly precious. They probably wouldn't be able to obtain even one ten-thousand-year soul bone in their entire lives. But now, because of luck and because their team lacked effective combat power, Huo Yuhao directly took out twelve soul bones and prepared a set for each of them. This is simply outrageously extravagant!
"Captain, Captain, are these soul bones really meant for us?"
Xu Jiaxin and Song Huanhuan's words became somewhat incoherent; with the soul bone before them, they simply couldn't remain calm!
Huo Yuhao nodded, then asked, "What? You don't want it?"
Don't be a fool!
The two quickly shook their heads, afraid that Huo Yuhao would change his mind!
But how could they possibly know that Huo Yuhao possessed soul bones that were hundreds of thousands of years old, not to mention those that were tens of thousands or thousands of years old!
At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt like the top player in a video game in his past life, who was just a little bit away from crushing the number one player. He was willing to spend any amount of money to achieve this!
That's Huo Yuhao's mindset right now.
With revenge imminent, how could he possibly ruin his carefully planned script over such a trivial incident?
Moreover, after giving the soul bone to these two girls, they have to work for him until they die!
It's not too bad!
Originally, after entering the finals, whether it was team battles, individual matches, or the 2-2-3 formation, the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy had Huo Yuhao and Ye Guyi in charge, making them invincible.
However, plans can't keep up with changes. Huo Yuhao didn't know he would encounter Austin Griffin, nor did he know he would be suddenly caught in a spacetime turbulence, causing him to miss the first team battle!
But it's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. Shrek Academy has a plan, and it has a way out!
Huo Yuhao arranged for Xu Jiaxin and Song Huanhuan to sit cross-legged, and then condensed two green-gold six-pointed star magic arrays beneath them. He then directly and roughly hammered the twelve soul bones, six for each person, into their respective body parts.
As the soul bones entered their bodies, a surge of violent energy erupted instantly. The terrifying energy contained within the six soul bones immediately caused both of them to bleed from all seven orifices, groaning in agony.
At this moment, the six-pointed star array beneath their feet began to exert its power. At the same time, Huo Yuhao's life core also began to operate wildly, infusing the two with the purest life force. Time passed second by second, and the absorption ritual of the two proceeded without any major incidents.
At this moment, all eyes on the competition stage were focused on this place. Everyone held their breath and watched this miraculous scene with patience. After all, this was a once-in-a-millennium scene that was even rarer than the competition itself!
Absorbing six soul bones at the same time, two at that!
Those unaware of the situation were inwardly marveling at Huo Yuhao's ruthless generosity; the investment in this competition exceeded even the championship reward.
Those who knew the inside story had already conjured up a series of stories in their minds. They were all secretly cursing the Star Luo Royal Family for being shameless. In order to win the championship and obtain that one-fifth of the prize, they actually cheated their team at the last minute! There's no one else like them!
That's right. Those who know the inside story have all pointed the finger at Xu Jiawei. They figured it out after a little thought. After all, one-fifth of the share from the far north is worth far more than these twelve soul bones. Xu Jiawei's actions are understandable. If it were them, they might have done the same!
This isn't cheating. Over the course of several months of competition, the participating team members meditate, cultivate, replenish their soul guide equipment daily, and strengthen themselves by purchasing powerful treasures or even soul bones. All of this is within the rules and is permitted!
They wanted it too! But they lacked the financial resources.
The Shrek Academy had the strongest reaction. Wang Yan's face showed panic. He didn't expect Huo Yuhao to have this trick up his sleeve. He tried to cut off Huo Yuhao's supply lines, but Huo Yuhao created two Soul Bone experts with his bare hands!
After absorbing these two sets of soul bones, the two Soul Kings opposite will definitely reach level 60. Although they will not be able to obtain soul rings, they will gain six more soul skills. Moreover, thanks to the power of the soul bones, their physical attributes will be greatly enhanced, and their physical attributes will definitely be above those of Soul Emperors.
On their side, one of their previously solid Martial Soul Fusion teams has been destroyed. Among the Soul Emperors, Dai Yaoheng is the weakest, and although his injuries have healed, they are not fully recovered. It seems that they will have to send out Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Toumu to defeat these two Soul Bone students.
Wang Yan suddenly felt very frustrated. Originally, all they needed to do was send out their two worst players to fight against Huo Yuhao, lose this match, and then win the other two to secure the championship!
Now, they must defeat those two Soul Bone teams to have a chance to win the championship!
They lost the last match, so in the first match of the 2-2-3 strategy, the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy went first. They could determine the opponent's lineup before arranging their own players. However, in the second match, they went first, and the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy players chose their opponents.
Although they have two chances, the uncertainty remains high!
If nothing unexpected happens, Wang Yan is certain that the first two to go on the opposing team will be two cannon fodder Soul Kings and a Shrek Academy student.
But winning this match is meaningless, because in the next two matches, the initiative will no longer be in their hands
If everyone else on the field was just shocked and greedy, then there were two people whose feelings were very complicated!
Dai Yaoheng's face was full of disbelief. He stared intently at the confident Huo Yuhao, and after watching him take out twelve soul bones, a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart!
In his opinion, it was absolutely impossible for Huo Yuhao, at his age, to produce so many soul bones on his own.
There is definitely someone behind Huo Yuhao, and the only force in the Star Luo Empire capable of producing so many soul bones is the royal family!
In other words, Huo Yuhao is very likely a puppet supported by the royal family!
The White Tiger lineage has always adhered to the iron-blooded principle of their ancestors, and the succession of the White Tiger Duke has always been based on the principle that the capable rise and the incapable fall.
Regardless of seniority or illegitimate status, Huo Yuhao's high-profile appearance was definitely intended to attract his father's attention so that he could reveal his identity and return to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to compete with him for the title of White Tiger Duke.
My uncle is really good at scheming!
He cannot afford to lose this match, no matter how hard he tries.
If he could think that way, how could the Duchess of White Tiger not think it? She firmly controlled everything in the White Tiger Duke's mansion, even concealing the information about the White Tiger Duke's illegitimate child for more than ten years, and even secretly plotting to help her husband rebel. It's impossible to say that she didn't have some skills!
Duchess Baihu suddenly felt that her brother was a complete stranger, as if she were seeing Xu Jiawei for the first time. At the same time, her murderous intent towards Huo Yuhao grew stronger and stronger. With such lowly blood, how dare he covet what did not belong to him? He was just like that lowly maid who seduced her master, born with a base bone!
After the competition ends, she will let Huo Yuhao know that in the Star Luo Empire, even if you have the royal family to rely on, you can't rest easy. Behind her are the two most powerful, oldest and strongest families in the Star Luo Empire, with a history of tens of thousands of years!
In her mind, Huo Yuhao had already chosen a path to his death!
On the competition stage, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xu Jiaxin and Song Huanhuan's absorption was a great success!
It didn't even take ten minutes!
The two stood up, and a buzzing sound immediately emanated from their bodies. This was the vibration generated by the resonance between their soul bones!
The two of them immediately felt a soft, comfortable sensation throughout their bodies. The backlash from absorbing the soul bone had been completely repaired by Huo Yuhao's life force. Moreover, the soul bone had thoroughly cleansed their aptitude, and all their meridians were opened up, as if they had been enlightened. Both of their soul power broke through the bottleneck of level sixty!
Moreover, his physical attributes have improved dozens of times compared to before. Even in simple physical combat, he can far surpass ordinary offensive Soul Kings.
This is the ultimate treasure of Douluo Continent, the Soul Bone. Its absolute effect on enhancing a Soul Master is beyond words. Anyone who has used it knows this!
Just then, Wang Xian'er appeared at the right moment, smiling slightly at everyone, "I believe everyone has rested enough. Now, let's begin the third and final match of today's finals, the 2-2-3 strategy match!"
"Shrek Academy can field six players, and Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy can field seven players. Please arrange your lineups accordingly."
"According to the competition rules, please have the leader of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy send out the team for the first battle."
At Huo Yuhao's signal, two Soul Kings with ordinary-looking faces slowly walked onto the stage. In the Shrek Academy's rest area, Wang Yan had an expression of "I knew it." The first match was handed to him by the other side, so he had to pay the minimum price to win this match, since everyone could only play once.
"Teacher Wang, let me go. I can handle two opponents at once!" Huo Xingling said confidently.
Wang Yan's eyes lit up immediately. That's right, Xing Ling is not a simple Soul King. Her overall strength is even greater than Dai Yaoheng's.
His original plan was to have Huo Xingling assist Mu Chenxi, but now he has changed his mind.
Although Dai Yaoheng is a Soul Emperor, he is only level 65 and has been injured. It is still a bit difficult for him to fight two Soul Kings who are Soul Instructors by himself. If he and Ling Luochen are arranged to fight together, then there will be one less person in the later matches. Therefore, Huo Xingling's participation in this match may be the best choice!
In fact, Huo Xingling also had her own plans. She couldn't make a move against Huo Yuhao, so if she faced Huo Yuhao later, she would waste a spot. It would be better to fight in the first match and make the most of her role!
With Wang Yan's approval, Huo Xingling walked straight towards the arena. In her eyes, the two Soul Kings opposite her were simply no match for her!
"Shrek Academy, are you sure that only one person will appear for the first event?"
Although the rules of the competition require two-on-two, they do not say that one-on-two is not allowed, so Wang Xian'er still needs to ask!
Huo Xingling nodded, "Referee, we're sure!"
Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. With a command, Wang Xian'er announced the official start of the competition.
Huo Xingling's Three-Eyed Radiant Dragon Martial Soul instantly possessed her, purple dragon scales covering her entire body. The five soul rings she simulated—three purple and two black—slowly appeared, but even so, they still attracted widespread attention!
The first soul ring was a thousand-year soul ring! And the fourth one could even absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring. Shrek Academy truly produces outstanding talents!
Huo Xingling's Three-Eyed Radiant Dragon has undergone several enhancements and been infused with the dragon energy of the Dragon Pill, and it already possesses the aura of a superior dragon!
Both students from the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy possess beast-type martial souls: one is the Lightning Tiger, and the other is the Netherworld Leopard.
The moment Huo Xingling released her martial soul, the two of them were not to be outdone and activated their martial souls as well. However, as soon as their martial souls appeared, they were suppressed by Huo Xingling's martial soul.
"So what if your martial spirit is powerful? There are two of us, but you only have one. Trying to take on two opponents at the same level is just too arrogant!"
"Damn it, how could the difference in strength be so great!"
No sooner had Lu Zhan uttered those words than Huo Xingling launched a fierce attack, kicking him several meters away!
The same was true for Ma Chao, who was beside him. Huo Xingling treated them all equally, kicking them one by one until they were all sent flying.
Only after truly experiencing Huo Xingling's strength will you know just how terrifying it is. To say that they are on the same level is an insult. This terrifying power, you're telling me this is on the same level? Don't be ridiculous!
Lu Zhan and Ma Chao were not without defensive skills, but they were completely unable to defend against Huo Xingling's attacks.
Below the stage, Huo Yuhao watched Huo Xingling's attack with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. Huo Xingling's extreme physical output, if he wasn't mistaken, should be Mu En's signature move, "Ruling the World"!
This match should be a bit faster than expected!
As expected, Lu Zhan and Ma Chao only lasted five minutes against Huo Xingling before being kicked off the stage in disgrace!
Throughout this entire process, Huo Xingling did not use any other soul skills, nor did she even release her Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul!
"Shrek Academy versus Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy, the first match of the third round of the finals using the 2-2-3 strategy, Shrek Academy wins. Both sides, please step down from the stage in an orderly manner. Shrek Academy's contestants for the next round, please come up to the stage first!"
The previous match could only be described as a crushing victory; the audience loves watching such a dominant game. Huo Xingling's image in the audience's mind has also improved. On the field, everyone was chanting "Shrek, Shrek!"
It seems Shrek Academy is about to win the championship.
But Wang Yan knew that their real test had only just begun!
Although Huo Xingling gave them a strong start and won the first match, the next match was the real highlight!
If he sends out Mu Chenxi now, then Huo Yuhao will undoubtedly take the field on the other side!
If they win, they will be the champions of this competition. If they lose, they can only gamble on the last match to see if they can defeat the two Soul Bone contestants!
He was unaware of Huo Yuhao's strength and could not predict the outcome of the match, so he planned to arrange for Mu Chenxi to go on stage last, leaving the duel between Mu Chenxi and Huo Yuhao until the very end!
After pondering for a moment, Wang Yan turned his gaze to the Shrek Academy students. "For this match, Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Toumu will go! If you go on stage, the opposing team will definitely send out those two Soul Bone contestants from before. Your Soul Power is both level 69. Even if those two Soul Kings absorbed the entire set of Soul Bones, they shouldn't be a match for you. My requirement for you is to do your best!"
"knew!"
Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Toumu stood up with a solemn expression, knowing what this meant!
The leader of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy is extremely powerful, as evidenced by his instant kill of Zhang Tou Shu just now. After all, even Mu Chenxi couldn't achieve that instant kill.
Moreover, from Huo Yuhao's ability to crush Mu Chenxi's strongest Golden Sacred Dragon Breath with one hand, and his powerful Soul Master cultivation, everyone knows that Huo Yuhao's strength is definitely no less than Mu Chenxi's!
In other words, if they lose this match, the third match is also very uncertain!
So they absolutely must win this match!
The two slowly walked onto the competition stage. Seeing this, Huo Yuhao gestured with his eyes, and Xu Jiaxin and Song Huanhuan followed suit!
Everything is unfolding exactly as Huo Yuhao planned; the other side really didn't dare to gamble!
In fact, the 2-2-3 strategy is more about psychological warfare. How to correctly arrange the candidates to compete is especially important to the outcome of the competition!
If the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy goes first in this match, then Huo Yuhao will have to personally take the field in the second match. If he sends out his Soul Bone Team, the opposing team will definitely send out Mu Chenxi to directly end the match.
Unfortunately, the competition rules were fair, with each person getting only one chance. It was a back-and-forth battle of wits, and he won!
Wang Yan didn't dare to gamble the final result on the second match, so he sent out Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Toumu. This was exactly what Huo Yuhao wanted. In the final round, he wanted to see Dai Yaoheng. This was his ultimate goal!
On the competition stage, the four people stood quietly, observing each other warily. Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Toumu both had solemn expressions on their faces, while Xu Jiaxin and Song Huanhuan had a hint of excitement and joy on their faces!
The sudden surge in their strength made both of them extremely arrogant, and they were eager to find an opponent to test their current level!
These two top-tier Soul Emperor geniuses from Shrek Academy are the best whetstones for them.
Wang Xian'er also appeared quickly, and after carefully looking at the four people, she slowly opened her mouth.
"Everyone knows the rules, so I won't go into detail. Now, let the competition begin!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her body vanished instantly, leaving only the four people about to fight on the competition stage.
Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Toumu's martial spirits instantly possessed them!
Behind Ma Xiaotao appeared a powerful fiery phoenix with a slight purple tinge. It was not a pure phoenix, but an evil fire phoenix!
Even so, the temperature of her martial soul flame was close to that of the ultimate fire. As soon as her martial soul appeared, it generated a terrifyingly high temperature in the air. The heat wave rolled and the high temperature instantly reached the two people opposite her.
Beneath her feet, six soul rings of optimal proportions—yellow, purple, black, and white—slowly appeared and floated around her Phoenix Martial Soul!
The moment Ma Xiaotao released her martial soul, Zhang Toumu was not to be outdone. With the pull of his soul power, the Devouring Sky Rat martial soul in his martial soul space quickly appeared behind him. Zhang Toumu's body was instantly raised to more than two meters tall, and his exaggerated muscles ripped through his school uniform, revealing the special combat suit he was wearing underneath!
His hair turned yellow, his hands turned into rat claws, and a large "swallow" character appeared on his forehead.
The six soul rings, which were also part of the best soul ring setup, slowly emerged from beneath his feet.
Compared to Shrek Academy, the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy is much more monotonous. Both of them have weapon spirits, so there aren't many variations when their spirits are attached to them. Moreover, their spirit rings are also relatively simple, with only five spirit rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black. However, their aura is in no way inferior to that of Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Toumu.
The full set of soul bones gave the two of them unparalleled combat power. The one that amplified them the most was actually the spiritual soul bone on their head, which enhanced their spiritual attributes several times over and increased their control and mastery over their martial souls by several levels!
For Soul Masters who specialize in weapon spirits, the most important thing is to have control over their own spirit, which can greatly enhance their combat power!
"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fireline"
Second Soul Skill, Devouring Roar
The moment Xu Jiaxin and Song Huanhuan released their martial spirits, Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Toumu's probing attack had already begun.
This is their combined long-range attack: Phoenix Fire is a beam of phoenix flames, while Devouring Roar is an energy shockwave!
Xu Jiaxin and Song Huanhuan did not resist, letting the two attacks hit them.
"Buzz—"
Two defensive soul-guided shields were activated instantly, easily blocking the two attacks from Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Toumu. This also served as a reminder to the two students from Shrek Academy that their opponents were not only Soul Masters, but also Soul Guides!
The two people moved the moment the defensive shield was activated.
"Third Soul Skill, Starry Sky Technique"
