Right at that moment.
Under Huo Yuhao's control, the formless and intangible Mental Power condensed into a sharp spear, silently stabbing toward Li Jie.
Clang!
A layer of silver shield was triggered.
Triggered sixth-Level Soul Guidance Device, Barrier of Martial Soul!
"Even such a rare Soul Guidance Device?" Huo Yuhao's eyes grew slightly cold, without too much surprise.
Just based on the hand that fellow displayed, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for the Star Luo Empire to arm him to the teeth.
Under the shared Mental Detection, none of the other five people had blind spots in their observation.
Even Meng Hongchen and the other two who were engaged in fierce combat ahead knew what situation Xiao Hongchen had encountered.
The Soul Guidance Devices inexplicably melted, and Xiao Hongchen's overall combat power was less than ten percent!
Looking back at themselves, they also felt heavy-hearted.
Everyone in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was a Soul Engineer.
Meng Hongchen was slightly better off; her Martial Soul and Spirit Ability's inherent combat power were not considered weak among Soul Kings of the same Level.
Coupled with the Assassin's potion amplification to her physical abilities, even if she truly couldn't use Soul Guidance Devices, her combat power wouldn't drop to zero.
But the others, including Xiao Hongchen who cultivated both Soul Guidance Devices and Martial Souls.
How could various output, defense, and even movement methods be separated from Soul Guidance Devices?
Therefore, even Ma Rulong, who had extremely rich combat experience and a steady Mental State, couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless at the exact moment Li Jie made his move.
"If this guy makes a move and melts his seventh-Level Soul Guidance Device as well, what else is there to play?"
Right at this moment, Huo Yuhao quickly stated his judgment in the mental channel.
Huo Yuhao:
"Li Jie's fifth Spirit Ability can remotely control metal phase transitions and destroy metal structures. His fifth Spirit Ability must lock onto a Soul Guidance Device to take effect. Within a ten-meter range of me, the Simulation effect is strongest, and he definitely cannot lock on. If there is no way to cope, everyone can move closer to me."
As soon as Huo Yuhao said these words, everyone's mindset temporarily stabilized.
As long as Huo Yuhao's invisibility hadn't been cracked, at least they could launch a tactical counterattack around him.
Xiao Hongchen, who had already calmed down:
"I suspect the reason he attacked me first is because his ability cannot cross Levels to take effect on seventh-Level Soul Guidance Devices. It's hard to say for sixth-Level Soul Guidance Devices."
Meng Hongchen: "Understood!"
Lin Xi and Mi Jia: "Then let the three of us retreat first. Otherwise, once problems arise with our Soul Guidance Devices, we might directly suffer defeat in close-quarters combat."
Ma Rulong: "Bad!"
In the Mental Detection, a trace of a smile appeared on Xu Jiujiu's face.
A cluster of golden light was flung from her hand. That was definitely not a Spirit Ability; the golden light merely flashed and crossed the entire arena, smashing toward Ma Rulong.
A bizarre scene appeared: a layer of golden light shield was instantly released and descended from the sky.
It actually forcefully enveloped the Crimson Blood Soul-Piercing Ray that Ma Rulong subconsciously raised his hand to release.
And it rapidly descended, suppressing Ma Rulong himself within it as well.
Ma Rulong only felt a sense of suffocation descending from the sky.
He wanted to dodge, but that golden light instantly tracked and arrived, heavily suppressing him within it.
Ma Rulong raised his head to look at the top of the golden light shield, where there was a bead flowing with brilliance and possessing a full one hundred and eight cross-sections.
This bead was the size of a fist, currently flashing with brilliant light and rotating rapidly.
"Absolute Defense Soul Guidance Device?!"
His horse-like face was filled with sorrow, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Woe is me!"
Although he had been guessing beforehand that the Star Luo Empire might have some preparations regarding special Soul Guidance Devices.
Yet no one could have thought it would be this kind of seventh-Level Soul Guidance Device that became extinct because the main crafting materials had already been exhausted.
Logically speaking, this kind of Soul Guidance Device that might only have one left in the world should only appear in museums or collectors' hands!
A person sealed by the Absolute Defense shield had to face the protection of an eighth-Level Spirit Douluo-level defensive-type battle Spirit Master within a quarter of an hour.
With his strength as a sixth-Level Soul Engineer, he truly didn't have any good way to break through the Absolute Defense Soul Guidance Device.
Using the Chapter of Sacrifice to burn potential and urge the Sword of Judgment might accelerate escaping from the Absolute Defense Soul Guidance Device.
But after escaping, there wouldn't be much combat power left.
Doing this would gain less than it is worth; it is better to conserve strength and wait quietly for the changing situation. Huo Yuhao hadn't even made a move yet!
Over at the Star Luo National Academy, trapping Ma Rulong, who had the strongest strength in the opposing hands, all of a sudden.
The long-arranged tactics were executed as smoothly as flowing water.
Xu Jiujiu's fourth Spirit Ring lit up, and centered around her body, a cluster of intense starlight burst forth.
The brilliant starlight transformed into a layer of light shield, blocking the Soul Tool Rays fired from Xiao Hongchen's remaining few tubes of fifth-Level Soul Guidance Device cannons.
At the same time, it separated a bit of Star Power to roll the Absolute Defense Soul Guidance Device and Ma Rulong back into the Guardian of the Stars barrier.
And enveloped the seven people on her side as well as Lin Xi, Mi Jia, and Meng Hongchen who didn't manage to retreat in time.
Eighteen stars appeared on the surface of the light shield, their brilliance flashing.
The battlefield split into two. The Giant-Winged Vulture Soul King and the Dark Demon Tiger Soul King Huang Heyun, who originally guarded Xu Jiujiu and Li Jie, lunged directly toward Meng Hongchen and the other two.
With a single strike, Li Jie, who had established a great merit, obtained immense satisfaction in his heart.
Who knew what kind of mentality he had while watching Xiao Hongchen show off his holiness in front of people and receiving cheers from countless people from below the field?
If it weren't for the fact that his existence could not be easily exposed, those glories and gazes should clearly have belonged to him!
"The winning momentum is set, but I still cannot laugh!"
Li Jie placed his target on Meng Hongchen and the other two in the distance.
Before the Guardian of the Stars completely unfolded, Huo Yuhao tentatively launched a Soul Shock.
His target was not Xu Jiujiu, because since Li Jie had the Barrier of Martial Soul, she most likely had it too.
The target of this Soul Shock was still Li Jie.
What he was gambling on was that Li Jie did not have a second sixth-Level Barrier of Martial Soul on his body.
Huo Yuhao won the gamble; indeed, there was no second sixth-Level Barrier of Martial Soul.
But there was still a fifth-Level Barrier of Martial Soul.
Huo Yuhao's Mental Power strength had long reached the Spirit Emperor level, coupled with a Soul Shock of a ten-thousand-year age's power.
Although the fifth-Level Barrier of Martial Soul took effect, it did not completely block this Soul Shock.
Boom!
Li Jie only felt his head suddenly explode with a roar. His entire body stiffened, and severe tinnitus appeared in his ears.
The fifth Spirit Ability he was preparing to unleash toward Meng Hongchen and the other two had its casting interrupted.
This Soul Shock temporarily reduced the pressure on the three of them.
Meng Hongchen also seized this opportunity to execute her fifth Spirit Ability to force back the opponents' encirclement.
Blue light flashed on her hands once more, swapping out an ice crystal longsword with chilling coldness.
This was a fifth-Level melee Soul Guidance Device she frequently used when she was a four-ringed Martial Soul Ancestor, crafted from pure ice-attribute rare crystals.
Meng Hongchen only used it at the time because she thought it was gorgeous.
She didn't expect it to have miraculous effects in this kind of occasion.
After Li Jie's Spirit Ability was interrupted, the three of them fought five with three under the assistance of Huo Yuhao's Mental Detection.
Although they didn't collapse at the first touch, they still fell into a disadvantageous position.
What truly affected the three of them was Li Jie, who was eyeing them covetously from the side and didn't know when he would seize the opportunity to strike.
Previously, Meng Hongchen had exposed the characteristic of her Martial Soul carrying poison.
Under the circumstances of being deliberately targeted, the venom of the Vermilion-Clear Ice Toad didn't play out much effect in this chaotic battle.
Xu Jiujiu looked calmly outside the light shield, the corners of her mouth curving up slightly.
Just waiting for Li Jie to adjust himself, the battle situation within the Guardian of the Stars would stabilize.
Right now, outside the shield, there was only Xiao Hongchen, who was constantly manipulating the remaining fifth-Level Soul Guidance Device cannons to shoot at the Guardian of the Stars light shield.
As well as Huo Yuhao and Feng Tingting, who still hadn't materialized and revealed themselves.
Xiao Hongchen was constantly watched distractedly by Li Jie; once he had the thought of manipulating metal again to condense a Soul Guidance Device cannon,
Li Jie would naturally teach him how to behave.
"Huo Yuhao, are you satisfied with two mental attacks?"
"Hiding for so long, you wouldn't end up pulling a big one like Tang Yin back then, would you?"
Bah!
"How did I also become vulgar? It must be because I read too much of the tournament genius inventory report!"
Xu Jiujiu spat inwardly and glanced at the Guardian of the Stars.
Finally, the light of one of the eighteen stars began to gradually dim.
That was the result of Xiao Hongchen's hard work for quite a while.
Obviously, unless all eighteen starlights dimmed completely, this light shield wouldn't be broken through.
But this Guardian of the Stars was released after consuming the Star Power she had painstakingly stayed up for eighteen all-nighters to absorb.
It was an extremely rare powerful skill unaffected by the quality of the Spirit Ring itself.
Therefore, not only was its defense range large, its defensive power was also exceptionally formidable.
The Guardian of the Stars executed by Xu Jiujiu at the Soul King stage allowed any single point of defense to compare with the full-power defense of a Spirit Emperor-level defensive-type battle Spirit Master.
The three people outside the shield were merely third, fourth, and fifth-Level Soul Engineers respectively.
And Li Jie could recover at any time to stare Xiao Hongchen to death.
Right now was the time to transform the winning momentum into a victory!
Above the city walls of the imperial city, Wang Xianer had also unknowingly come up, lagging slightly half a step behind Xu Jiawei to watch the battle together.
Xu Jiawei's face revealed a faint smile: "With the battle situation up to this point, victory is in our grasp."
"That Huo Yuhao cannot whip up any big waves."
2
"Before the match, I hadn't considered letting Li Jie take the field."
"But this crisis of the Shrek Academy Team allowed me to see a trace of an opportunity."
"An opportunity for My Star Luo National Academy to walk out of Star Luo and widely recruit talents facing the Original Three Douluo Kingdoms!"
As the vice hall master of the Star Luo Enshrinement Hall, Wang Xianer herself stood on the side of the royal family.
Unlike Dai Hao, who garrisoned the borders all year round and was ultimately just an external official.
Huang Jinxu knew of Li Jie's existence, so she naturally knew as well, thus not being as surprised as Dai Hao.
Li Jie's Martial Soul special attack against Soul Guidance Devices posed a threat to Spirit Masters far less than what was displayed in this match.
Therefore, Dai Hao had no dread in his heart; what he had was only shock towards Xu Jiawei hiding a trump card: "However, Your Majesty. This person's Martial Soul is so special that once exposed, I'm afraid there will be disasters!"
"Moreover, the situation of the arena changes in an instant."
"Is it really worth it?"
Although Li Jie's ability was overbearing, and the room for maneuver of the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy in this match was already small.
Yet he didn't feel that such a Star Luo National Academy team would cause any trouble for the Shrek Academy Team where his two sons were located.
Therefore, he subconsciously felt that this decision was not brilliant.
However, Xu Jiawei said with a firm tone: "No matter, being able to defeat the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy is already victory!"
"As for Li Jie's safety, I naturally have arrangements for it."
In the rest area of Shrek Academy, Tang Yin was hanging one leg and shook his head, saying: "The defeat of the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy is already set."
The situation seemed ruined, right at the moment when almost everyone thought the defeat of the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy side was already set.
Within the Simulation invisibility Domain, a turning point finally arrived.
"Yuhao, four rounds."
Feng Tingting, whose forehead was exuding fine sweat and whose body was somewhat sore and weak, handed the sixth-Level excited-state human Soul Power configuration milk bottle to Huo Yuhao's hands.
Huo Yuhao took it, and with a click, installed it onto the sixth-Level live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle.
The second Spirit Ring flashed, drawing the Soul Power within the milk bottle to convert it into the Ultimate Ice attribute.
Then guiding it into the core magic array of the sixth-Level live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle.
At this time, Lin Xi and Mi Jia, who did not have a Martial Soul strength as hardcore as Meng Hongchen, were already asking for help in the mental channel.
Lin Xi: "Yuhao, my fucking Invincible Barrier hasn't even been used yet, and it melted!"
Mi Jia: "It's no good, I feel like I am about to die a little."
Huo Yuhao silently said: "Three breaths
After using four 10,000-year Martial Soul Abilities in a row, Li Jie had already consumed more than half of his Soul Power.
Although he was about to win, he still felt unsatisfied.
Therefore, he chose to move closer to the battlefield on Meng Hongchen's side.
It was inconvenient to use his fifth Spirit Ability and Soul Bone skill anymore, but his first four Martial Soul Abilities could also cause extreme restrictions and threats to Soul Guidance Devices.
Although the effective distance limitation was slightly larger, a good Spirit Ability was one that could turn the tide of battle.
He first melted the opponent's Invincible Barrier amidst Lin Xi's horrified gaze.
Then he used his first and second Martial Soul Abilities to corrode the core magic array of the Martial Soul armor worn by Mi Jia.
After finishing these, Meng Hongchen and the other two were instantly in perilous situations.
"Jiejiejie."
"Little beauty, do you think I have no way to deal with Soul Guidance Devices crafted from crystals?"
Li Jie grinned hideously and stretched out his hands, palms facing each other in a faux grasp, and the large tripod rapidly shrank and flew into his palms, spinning at high speed.
Two purple Spirit Rings flashed simultaneously, and streams of tyrannical Soul Power poured directly into his palms.
At this moment, there was no distinction between men and women in his heart, only a desire for victory!
After everything was ready, he was about to make a move.
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.
"Bang!"
This was the sound of a level 6 live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle firing a bullet.
Almost the next instant, the Guardian of the Stars, whose defense level in all aspects reached the full defense level of a defensive combat Spirit Master at the Spirit Emperor level and which was invincible, was pierced through.
The spirit-infused cast iron bullet with extremely strong penetration only left an inconspicuous, finger-thick hollow on the wide Guardian of the Stars barrier.
And it emitted a "thud" sound.
Due to the extremely fast speed of the spirit-infused cast iron bullet, so fast that everyone on the field failed to react in time.
The two sounds before and after overlapped together, and in Li Jie's ears, there was only a single "Bang!"
At the very moment when he was triumphantly preparing to make a move against Meng Hongchen.
He only felt a gentle breeze blow past.
Following closely, a certain Soul Guidance Device on his body was quietly triggered.
A pale golden shield instantly appeared.
It was thick and incomparably tough, even the bullet fired by the live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle known for its penetration power...
...was like a wooden stick poking at a balloon in front of it.
Although it caused a not-insignificant deformation, it was just a deformation after all.
What was most surprising was that the Soul Power fluctuation it emitted actually reached the 8-ring Spirit Douluo level.
Obviously, this was a level 8 trigger-type Martial Soul shield temporarily charged by a powerhouse.
Once triggered, Li Jie would be directly judged to have lost.
Although the level 8 trigger-type Martial Soul shield blocked the spirit-infused cast iron bullet whose power had already touched the might of a level 8 Soul Guidance Device.
But the transmitted force directly carried Li Jie flying out of the competition stage with a swish, smashing onto the linked Martial Soul shield.
Finally, in a free fall, he dropped out of the arena with a slap.
All of this happened so abruptly.
A phantom flashed, Li Jie's life-saving trump card on his body was triggered, and he was blasted out of the arena, falling to the ground and falling asleep.
The movements of everyone in Star Luo National Academy eerily slowed down by a beat at the same time.
Their mood was just like that day when Tang Yin saw a meteor falling from the sky.
Incredible!
Eight of the eighteen stars were still shining, and the defense of the Guardian of the Stars still seemed indestructible.
Who made a move?
Xu Jiujiu, who controlled the Guardian of the Stars, had the most say.
Taking a fleeting glance following the position fed back by the Spirit Ability, she happened to see the finger-thick small hole slowly healing.
At this time, Huang Jinxu slowly withdrew his gaze from Meng Hongchen and the other two, his back already soaked with cold sweat.
He hadn't reacted in time all at once either!
Fortunately, before going on stage, he had charged the trigger-type level 8 Martial Soul shield on Li Jie's body.
Otherwise, Huang Jinxu felt that he might become a figure like Xuanzi.
One breath.
Huo Yuhao's expression was calm.
A strange blue-green light suddenly appeared.
A blue-green conical object abruptly appeared in his hand.
Its appearance was identical to the spirit-infused cast iron bullet.
But a pure, gentle blue-green light lingered around it, flickering uncertainly like a breathing piece of jade.
The Gold of Life purified by Electrolux no longer had its outer appearance limited to the shape of an engraving knife.
Huo Yuhao stuffed it into the level 6 live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle.
Although she didn't directly see Huo Yuhao make a move, Xu Jiujiu was willing to believe her sixth sense.
She screamed, "It's Huo—"
Without waiting for her to finish shouting, Huo Yuhao pulled the trigger and the exact same sound rang out.
"Bang!"
This shot clearly did not aim at anyone in Star Luo National Academy.
But under that single sound, it suddenly frightened out five Invincible Barriers from everyone in Star Luo National Academy.
Aside from Xu Jiujiu's Invincible Barrier.
The other four had no choice but to release theirs.
They didn't have trigger-type level 8 Martial Soul shields on them.
Moreover, the Invincible Barrier was controlled by thoughts; none of the four had the confidence to react instantly.
Thus, the five Invincible Barriers were actively released on the competition stage just like that.
Solitary and lonely, just like concubines waiting for the emperor's favor.
However, this bullet made from the Gold of Life was not prepared for them.
Instead, it was shot towards the bead in midair that was shining with brilliant light and had a full one hundred and eight cross-sections.
Level 7 Soul Guidance Device, Absolute Defense Soul Guidance Device!
The level 6 live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle that had already touched the threshold of output intensity of a level 8 Soul Guidance Device.
Huo Yuhao, who was only at the 3-ring at this time, even though his Mental Power strength far exceeded his Soul Power cultivation, and his Simulation Spirit Ability was already at the 10,000-year level.
Still could not completely cover up all the traces.
This time, Huang Jinxu finally saw clearly where the previous blow came from.
The fleeting trajectory and violent Soul Power fluctuations were shot out from that invisible Domain!
After piercing through the Guardian of the Stars with unstoppable force, it headed straight for midair.
"Crack!"
Under the dual effects of the adjudication effect and extremely strong power of the Gold of Life, the Absolute Defense Soul Guidance Device...
...shattered at the sound.
Ma Rulong, who had been prepared long ago, executed a beautiful roll and landed, lifting the golden cannon barrel to shoot out a blood-red ray like lightning.
Huo Yuhao watched the Guardian of the Stars shield completely shatter with a crack and snap, silently chanting in his heart.
Two breaths.
He did not choose to raise the level 6 live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle again.
Instead, he put it away and replaced it with a fully charged level 3 soul guidance sniper rifle.
Disabling stealth, the dark muzzle pointed at Xu Jiujiu who was looking over.
"Bang!"
The gunshot sound, indistinguishable from the previous two, rang out.
Xu Jiujiu was so frightened that her face turned pale, subconsciously closing her eyes as another layer of Invincible Barrier was released.
However, this time, there was no huge pushing force as imagined; what came from the Invincible Barrier was a slightly gentle force.
Wait, gentle???
Xu Jiujiu's eyelashes trembled, forcing herself to open her eyes.
But she saw that this incoming spirit-infused cast iron bullet was actually bounced away by the Invincible Barrier!
What?!
Combined with the small amount of Soul Power consumed within her body because of this, and the level 3 soul guidance sniper rifle Huo Yuhao took out in the previous few matches.
Huo Yuhao, you tricked me again?!
Feeling the Soul Power inside her body about to bottom out, Xu Jiujiu was instantly on the verge of tears, itching with hatred in her heart.
Three breaths.
Huo Yuhao silently put away the level 3 soul guidance sniper rifle.
His mood was incomparably relaxed, and he even had time to sigh that Star Luo National Academy really knew how to spend capital.
Ordinary main team members each had one Invincible Barrier.
Xu Jiujiu had even more than one; she probably had a level 8 trigger-type Martial Soul shield on her body just like Li Jie.
After such a team battle, just the Invincible Barriers burned at least four million Gold Soul Coins.
The people of Star Luo National Academy were not as relaxed as Huo Yuhao.
The first shot made them realize the terror of a sudden strike.
The second shot frightened out the remaining Invincible Barriers on all of them, and incidentally liberated Ma Rulong.
The third shot was a feint, tricking out Xu Jiujiu's second Invincible Barrier.
For everyone in Star Luo National Academy, running out of Invincible Barriers was not the most terrifying thing.
The most terrifying thing was the massive consumption of Soul Power in vain, as well as the discontinuation and reversal of the battle rhythm!
Ma Rulong's level 7 Soul Tool Ray, following Huo Yuhao's guidance,
at the very next moment when the Invincible Barrier of the Darkness Magic Tiger Soul King Huang Heyun disappeared, crossed half the field and instantly shot toward his forehead.
This time Huang Jinxu finally played a role, a brilliant starlight flashed, narrowly taking Huang Heyun away from the competition stage.
Meng Hongchen and the other two, who were originally besieged, took the opportunity to burst out, under the high-frequency communication of Mental Sharing and the assistance of Mental Detection.
With the strength of three people, they suppressed the four people around them!
They managed to hold back the Giant-Winged Vulture Soul King who wanted to return to defend by Xu Jiujiu's side.
"Damn it, we were about to win, are we going to lose just like this?"
For this tournament, the Star Luo Empire did not only pay in terms of Invincible Barriers.
There were also premeditated group arrangements, and stringing together eight groups.
And ceding the interests of the Far North rare metal mineral veins.
And exposing Li Jie's existence to everyone's view.
Now almost all high-ranking and powerful figures of Star Luo were watching the match with His Imperial Brother at the city walls of the imperial capital.
There were also many, many Star Luo citizens who came to watch with a firm belief in their victory.
Thinking that she had done so much, yet now things turned out like this, Xu Jiujiu felt a slight grievance in her heart, and her nose tingled sourly.
She clenched her silver teeth tightly, "I still have my strongest fifth Spirit Ability unused!"
When she was ready to use her fifth Spirit Ability to perish together, a calm gaze looked over.
Huo Yuhao looked at her so calmly, quietly opening his spiritual vision, trying to interpret her thoughts using the Telepathist's ability.
Li Jie's Martial Soul and Martial Soul Abilities had already given Huo Yuhao a huge surprise, and he absolutely would not allow any accidents to happen.
As long as Xu Jiujiu had any abnormal movements, he would instantly take out the live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle without hesitation.
As for whether it was level 3 or level 6, it would depend on the situation.
Xu Jiujiu bit her lip, stubbornly locking eyes with Huo Yuhao like that.
She had a premonition that as long as the 3-ring Spirit Elder in front of her wanted to, she would definitely not be able to use her fifth Spirit Ability!
Even she felt this thought was incredible, yet she also felt it was incomparably real and accurate.
She glanced at the other battlefield where the signs of defeat were already fully displayed.
Xu Jiujiu had to admit that this team battle was truly going to be lost.
Slightly lifting her exquisite head, she looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Huo Yuhao, I admit I underestimated you."
"At the very beginning of this team battle, I should have used the Invincible Defense Soul Guidance Device to Seal you."
"Actually, that wouldn't have been of any use." Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, scratched his head, and revealed a shy smile: "Your Highness Xu Jiujiu, if you had done that, you definitely would have won long ago."
Huo Yuhao felt that his sincere tone could definitely slightly comfort this Princess Highness whose emotions looked a bit abnormal.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jiujiu did not buy it at all. She snorted coldly: "Those two strikes you fired came from a level 6 live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle?"
"The live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle technology sealed by the Sun-Moon Empire has been solved?"
Huo Yuhao smiled sheepishly and did not explain.
He was not surprised that Xu Jiujiu could see it; in fact, there was nothing much to hide about this.
But the match between the two teams was not over yet; there was still the individual knockout match to be played.
"I must have lost my mind with anger." Xu Jiujiu took a deep breath, realizing she had asked two extremely foolish questions.
After she first saw Huo Yuhao use the level 3 soul guidance sniper rifle.
She had consulted the relevant information collected by the Star Luo Empire.
What she valued most was its past title of "the strongest output Soul Guidance Device of the same grade."
But due to severe technical defects and low cost-effectiveness, it had no practical application value.
However, a level 6 Soul Guidance Device that could have this kind of output intensity, what else could it be if not a level 6 live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle?
Furthermore, she didn't expect Huo Yuhao to rely on two rare metal bullets fired by the level 6 live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle.
To achieve such a tide-turning effect.
The Invincible Barriers on everyone in Star Luo National Academy added up to a full nine of them.
She knew that Huo Yuhao was far from as simple as he appeared now.
Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy being able to hand such a powerful ultimate weapon to him to operate naturally had its considerations.
But what could be determined was that this Soul Guidance Device definitely had some extremely strict usage requirements.
Perhaps only Huo Yuhao could use it in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
There was no need to conduct too much review on the arena.
Xu Jiujiu gave Huo Yuhao a deep look, as if wanting to remember his face: "Huo Yuhao, regardless of whether you go on stage in the individual singles match and the two-two-three small team battle next, I have remembered you."
"Why bother?" Huo Yuhao smiled and pointed at the remaining four people of Star Luo National Academy lying on the ground not far away: "Your Highness Xu Jiujiu, just admit defeat directly."
"That way you can still retain a shred of dignity."
Xu Jiujiu took a deep breath and said, "I was just careless this time, and I didn't completely lose to you."
Go to Chaoquan for Taiwanese novels.
Dropping these words, she turned and jumped off the competition stage, which also announced the end of this team battle.
Won!
Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy won!
The hundreds of thousands of Spectators present were extremely clamorous.
Some people cheered, some sighed in regret, and more people were discussing what caused Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy to make a comeback against the wind.
The battlefield changed in an instant, and the reversal actually came so fast.
In merely three breaths, they reversed the situation and turned defeat into victory.
"What eliminated the first person from Star Luo National Academy?"
"It seemed like a strange black line, and I don't know where it came from."
"What did those five Invincible Barriers defend against?"
"Who was the key man of this battle?"
"Only two people's whereabouts in the Sun Moon Team have been hidden all along."
"Could it be the only three-ring kid in the whole audience? How did he do it?"
"Wasn't it discussed in the forum of the tournament genius inventory report? The terrifying aspect of the live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle."
"Terrifying my ass. Does that kind of pure laboratory creation even deserve to step onto the competition stage?"
Spectators with a relatively low proportion of Spirit Masters could all find some clues, not to mention other powerful Spirit Masters with profound cultivation.
At the city wall of the imperial city, Xu Jiawei's brows furrowed slightly.
Having placed so many heavy bets, nine Invincible Barriers, a unique absolute defense Soul Guidance Device, and even the existence of Li Jie were exposed—
And yet this still didn't win the team battle?
What a cunning kid, he hides really deep.
Xu Jiawei's eyes were profound, and his gaze fell on Huo Yuhao on the field.
The destructive power displayed by those two rare metal bullets was definitely the mighty power that only a level-six live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle could possess.
But Xu Jiawei didn't produce too much worry because of this.
Xu Jiujiu could guess the limitations of the live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle, and he could naturally see more.
That kind of Soul Guidance Device could only be used by Huo Yuhao, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it Huo Yuhao's exclusive weapon.
However, this match was not completely over yet.
There were still chances in the subsequent individual knockout match and the two-two-three small team battle.
Without Feng Tingting by his side, Huo Yuhao couldn't use the level-six live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle.
Therefore, the individual knockout match was still worth fighting.
If he brought Feng Tingting onto the field in the two-two-three small team battle.
In a small team battle, how could there be teammates to contain the opponents for him and leave enough charging time?
Invisibility wasn't the same as disappearing.
There was still plenty of tactical room.
In short, Star Luo National Academy still had a chance.
"An eye Martial Soul blessed by a Soul Guidance Device can actually display combat power close to the Spirit Douluo level?"
Lang Ya scratched his big head, revealing a sense of solemnity beneath his still somewhat red and swollen eyelids.
Some of the sediment originally stuck between his sparse hair fell off, but he didn't care about this detail at all.
"Yu Tao, we also brought back an eye Martial Soul in Star Luo City a few years ago, right?"
Yu Tao unconsciously stroked the strips of bloodstains on his thick right arm and said, "That little fellow is called Li Zhe, and he's almost reaching the Spirit Ancestor Realm now."
After completely watching this team battle, the atmosphere among the Shrek Academy Team was as solemn as if someone had died.
Only Wang Dong wasn't affected much; instead, she stared with shining eyes at Huo Yuhao, who was accepting the cheers of tens of thousands on the competition stage.
So handsome, too strong!
If Miss Meng can also get me such a strong Soul Guidance Device in the future, and let me have a blast.
Even marrying her is not something that cannot be considered!
Wang Yan felt that he could no longer let this kind of emotion ferment in the team, otherwise it might affect the subsequent remaining matches with Di'ao Academy.
He smiled reluctantly and said, "Children, the match has been watched. Let's return to the Star Emperor Grand Hotel first."
"As expected, it couldn't stump you guys." Jing Hongchen on the Spectator stand revealed a smile.
To be honest, the moment Jing Hongchen saw Li Jie's Spirit Ability, his heart was very worried.
But as far as the result of this initial clash was concerned, it was perfect.
On second thought, it was fortunate that Feng Yu's cousin brought Huo Yuhao to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Otherwise, if he saw that the Star Luo Empire had a Spirit Master Genius whose Martial Soul restrained Soul Engineers so much,
it would be very difficult to hold back his killing intent and not immediately calculate in his heart how to kill this Spirit Master.
But now he not only had plenty of successors, but they were all top geniuses.
Therefore, his mindset at this moment could be put at ease.
Thinking of these, the smile on Jing Hongchen's face deepened.
On the high platform, Meng Hongchen put away her ice crystal longsword, picked up the bullets, cast her beautiful eyes around in a circle, and heard and saw many people cheering for Huo Yuhao.
This made her even happier than personally slaughtering all directions on the competition arena.
Step by step, she walked prettily in front of Huo Yuhao, bit her red lips, and after slight hesitation, hugged Huo Yuhao.
Smelling the gardenia-scented hair ends, Huo Yuhao's body stiffened slightly; this embrace was something he hadn't anticipated.
However, he didn't refuse either.
"Junior Brother, your performance just now was a bit awesome."
The soft whispers blew into Huo Yuhao's ears, bringing a peculiar tingling sensation.
Although the two were two years apart in age, over the past year or so, Huo Yuhao's height had shot up extremely fast like spring bamboo shoots.
Therefore, the two were almost the same height.
The youth had a tall, straight, and confident posture, having just led a perfect victory in a battle.
The maiden had an peerless and charming face and a graceful figure, having already proved her top-tier Genius in previous matches.
Seeing this, the smile on Jing Hongchen's face stiffened.
His mood was somewhat complicated, both gratified and bitter.
Was this the family's cabbage running off to arch a pig on its own?
Fortunately, this pig was also raised by him.
They were all one family anyway.
Feeling Meng Hongchen's bold actions and the faint temperature transmitting from her soft and delicate body, Huo Yuhao's body gradually relaxed.
Huo Yuhao quietly opened Mental Detection and Mental Sharing.
Huo Yuhao: "Senior Sister, Teacher is watching from down the stage."
Meng Hongchen: "Ah?"
Meng Hongchen flusteredly let go of her hand, glanced with a blushing pretty face at Jing Hongchen on the Spectator stand, and felt her hands and feet go a bit weak.
Actually, she wasn't a casual person; she just noticed the conversation between Xu Jiujiu and Huo Yuhao when the battle was about to end.
There was nothing much to the conversation itself.
But Xu Jiujiu's expression and emotions aroused her vigilance.
"You are fighting, who are you putting on that wronged and pitiful act for!"
She then realized an even more serious problem.
Previously on the competition arena, Huo Yuhao was just an ordinary yellow-yellow-purple three-ring Spirit Elder.
Although driven by her and Feng Tingting, the discussion degree on the tournament genius inventory report had always not been too high.
After this heaven-defying performance, he would definitely receive a lot of attention from many people.
When Xiao Hongchen appeared in the first match, there were many female Spectators clamoring to have babies with him.
Looking at Feng Tingting's helpless expression at that time, she even felt a bit gloating.
She didn't expect it to be her turn to have a headache now.
Thinking of those wild bees and butterflies wanting to have babies with Yuhao or whatever—no, absolutely not!
The joy of winning the match, the happiness caused by Huo Yuhao displaying his strength, superimposed with subtle emotions like vigilance towards relationships,
caused her to involuntarily make such a bold action bordering on declaring sovereignty when she stood in front of Huo Yuhao.
This scene fell into the eyes of busybody Spectators, who tacitly clapped their hands.
Making the atmosphere of today's final match moment even more enthusiastic.
Seeing this scene, Huo Yuhao also had a bit of a headache.
He could almost foresee that in the next few days, he would receive Xiao Hongchen's treatment from the opening.
Underneath the high platform, Li Jie, who had woken up, turned over and climbed up, saying with a tearful expression, "I am really stupid, truly."
"I only knew that Huo Yuhao definitely had a trump card when he went on stage."
"Yet I didn't expect the trump card prepared by the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy to be so outrageous."
Gazing at Huo Yuhao embracing the beauty on the high platform, he felt that he had also lost in other places.
"But I refuse to accept this!"
"This result was caused by the information gap."
"If I knew he was this fierce, I would have melted his storage ring long ago, and then melted all the dropped Soul Guidance Devices as well."
"It's not like I can't melt level-six Soul Guidance Devices."
Unable to suppress this breath, Li Jie bypassed the competition stage, walked towards the exit passage of the Sun Moon Team, and caught up with Huo Yuhao and the others in the departure passage.
Huo Yuhao paused his steps, looked back, and asked doubtfully, "Is there something you need?"
Li Jie lifted his chin slightly, with an unruly expression, one hand in his pocket and the other pointing at Huo Yuhao: "Huo Yuhao, I know your methods."
"I won't fall into the same pit a second time!"
"I also know that you most likely won't take the stage next."
"However, I am likewise not yet fifteen years old, and we still have opportunities to fight."
"You'd better not indulge in female beauty in the next few years, and must diligently Cultivate."
"In the next tournament, you must make me enjoy myself to the fullest."
"Psycho." Huo Yuhao curled his lips, glanced at Huang Jinxu who followed over, and put away the idea of giving Li Jie a shot of Soul Shock.
Indulge in female beauty?? Meng Hongchen quietly touched her burning pretty face, was it that obvious?
Xiao Hongchen in the team was dumbfounded.
No, was I just ignored by Li Jie just like that?
Li Jie, at least look at me straight in the eye.
I am the person you prioritized targeting in this match just now.
If you hadn't targeted me back then, I could have also tried to reverse the battle situation in three breaths.
Xiao Hongchen sneered and said: "Li Jie, right? What is your Martial Soul? And what are its characteristics?"
"Dare you and I take the stage first in the upcoming individual knockout match to fight one-on-one?"
Li Jie stretched his neck, only then noticing Xiao Hongchen. He slightly frowned and said: "If you really have enough guts, it doesn't hurt to play a couple of rounds with you."
"However, don't even think about prying words out of me; my Martial Soul is a mutated Martial Soul."
"Even in the official Awakening records of my Star Luo Empire over tens of thousands of years, there isn't a second one."
"How about we make a bet."
"If you guys ultimately win against my Star Luo National Academy, I will tell you my Martial Soul's name and characteristics."
"If you guys lose, you will give me one of the level-six live ammunition soul tool sniper rifles that Huo Yuhao used in this match to play with."
"The biological grandson of Mingde Hall's master should have this authority, right?"
Huang Jinxu in the distance heard Li Jie's words, his brows slightly sinking, but he didn't say anything.
"The two are not equal." Xiao Hongchen spat, sneering and saying: "Our Martial Soul attributes are similar. Even if you don't tell me, I can guess it pretty closely."
"My ability in metals lies in fine control and integration, capable of integrally forming pure metal powder into various Soul Guidance Devices."
"And your Martial Soul's characteristic is nothing more than destroying metal phases or causing metals to corrode."
Xiao Hongchen thought for a moment and commented: "The age of the Soul Bone attached with the locking Spirit Ability you have is indeed a bit high."
"It still locked onto me for quite a while after the match ended."
"Without that Spirit Ability, your degree of restraint against Soul Guidance Devices would drop by a tier."
"Your guess is not completely correct either."
"Let's just meet on the competition arena. If we really encounter each other, I'll thoroughly interrogate you." Li Jie didn't say anything more.
Dropping harsh words, he walked straight through the crowd of the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy and left the departure passage a step ahead.
Xiao Hongchen watched Li Jie's back disappearing at the corner and sighed with emotion: "I originally thought only I could do things like blocking people and dropping harsh words."
"But this guy is too arrogant. Does he think that being able to make metals fail means he can restrain all Soul Guidance Devices?"
The subsequent development of public opinion did not exceed Huo Yuhao's expectations either.
His name almost monopolized eighty percent of the content in the forum section of the tournament genius inventory report.
Among the numerous commentators in the Star Luo Empire, there was no lack of uniquely visionary existences.
They actually analyzed quite a bit of information about the level-six live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle he used.
Although most of it was wrong, it also confirmed that Huo Yuhao led the team battle victory against Star Luo National Academy.
This made him almost instantly gain many crazy older sister fans and mother fans out of thin air.
In the subsequent matches, their unrestrained remarks made Meng Hongchen extremely angry.
The individual knockout match ended very quickly.
Star Luo National Academy could target the venom of Meng Hongchen's Vermilion-Clear Ice Toad.
The Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy side could also make deployments targeting Li Jie's abilities.
Jing Hongchen happened to be idle and have nothing to do.
So he took advantage of the one-day rest time after the team battle, using various rare crystals carried on him as base materials,
to customize a set of level-six melee Soul Guidance Device sets for Meng Hongchen.
Including a level-six ice-attribute Ice Marrow Martial Soul Jade thin sword.
Subjected to such strict restrictions on materials, it would be impossible for an average advanced Soul Engineer to complete it in a short period.
But Jing Hongchen was a top-tier Soul Engineer. Although the time was tight and restrictions were heavy, it didn't affect his near-show-off engraving.
The crafted level-six melee Soul Guidance Device set could also be considered High Grade among level-six Soul Guidance Devices.
The only problem was that Meng Hongchen's cultivation was only at the fifty-second rank.
She could only use it for a short time.
But this was also enough to take out and trick Li Jie in the individual knockout match.
On the individual knockout match, the first one to take the stage from the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy side was Xiao Hongchen.
And on the Star Luo National Academy side, Li Jie obviously didn't expect Xiao Hongchen to really dare to take the stage first.
So much so that he sat in the waiting area, watching Xiao Hongchen on the competition stage give him a thumbs up and fiercely press it downwards.
It made Li Jie so angry smoke came out of his ears.
Without Huo Yuhao's Mental Detection assistance, Xiao Hongchen's strength was still solid.
Without too much suspense, he eliminated the Soul King who took the stage first from Star Luo National Academy.
Li Jie couldn't withstand the provocation and chose to take the stage second.
Yet he didn't expect that Xiao Hongchen wouldn't fight him either, turning around and dashingly jumping off the competition stage.
And the one taking the stage was precisely Meng Hongchen
Li Jie, who had been full of confidence, was completely dumbfounded when he ran into Meng Hongchen, who was clad in a full set of tier-6 crystal Soul Guidance Devices.
He could not figure it out.
How could Meng Hongchen possess a tier-6 melee Soul Guidance Device set crafted entirely from rare crystals?
Why didn't she use it in the previous match?
It couldn't possibly have been temporarily designed and rushed out, right?
Although his two thousand-year Martial Soul abilities could indirectly deal with crystal Soul Guidance Devices,
dealing with tier-6 ones was rather slow in efficiency.
Furthermore, the effect was weak against Meng Hongchen's tier-6 Ice Marrow Spiritual Jade Rapier.
The result of this battle was that after exhausting all his efforts, Li Jie was still thoroughly suppressed.
He was almost beaten to the point of crying for his Mother.
Facing this declining trend, Li Jie had no choice but to activate his Invincible Barrier amidst a massive disadvantage.
Seizing the opportunity, Meng Hongchen's three-chi rapier flickered, transforming into a sky-filling flurry of sword images as she thrust straight toward the Invincible Barrier.
The two-chi-plus long sword radiance condensed without dispersing, causing a series of popping sounds to burst forth in the air.
Landing on the Invincible Barrier, it evaporated fifty percent of the Soul Power within Li Jie's body in three seconds.
After this battle, Li Jie had no strength left to retaliate and helplessly raised his hand to surrender.
Next, Meng Hongchen displayed a combat power under her normal state that was just a hair's breadth away from a Spirit Emperor, continuing to defeat three consecutive Soul Kings with the momentum of autumn leaves sweeping away fallen ones.
She did not continue to challenge the next opponent, but instead handed the baton to Ma Rulong.
At this point, the Star Luo National Academy, which had only two participation slots remaining, still had to face the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, which still had five participation slots.
Subsequently, Ma Rulong displayed extremely high combat literacy, defeating the last two Star Luo National Academy members who had taken the field with a desperate mindset.
This completely shattered the last shred of illusion held by Xu Jiujiu, who was sitting in the waiting area off stage.
Deploying only three people, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy secured the individual knockout match against the Star Luo National Academy on away ground.
Winning two consecutive points in the entire match, they directly clinched the victory of the major match and locked down a spot in the finals.
At the moment when Huang Jinxu helplessly announced the victory of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, warm cheers erupted throughout the audience.
Although there were also many Star Luo people present at the scene,
most Spectators watching the match ultimately admired the strong and judged everything based on strength.
Furthermore, whether it was Huo Yuhao forcefully reversing the situation in the previous team fight or the white-haired, red-eyed Meng Hongchen domineeringly sweeping through four people in this match,
both were truly convincing.
Moreover, these two individuals were also full of conversational topics, further fueling the enthusiasm of the numerous Spectators for discussion.
On the imperial city ramparts, Xu Jiawei said with profound eyes: "What is destined in life will eventually be yours; what is not destined in life should not be forcefully sought."
"This failure might not necessarily be a bad thing; at the least, it can let that brat Li Jie know that there are people beyond people and heavens beyond the heavens."
"Relying solely on the restraint of Soul Guidance Device characteristics by Martial Soul attributes cannot determine everything."
"It's just—wasn't that set of Soul Guidance Devices used by Meng Hongchen a bit too fast from design to completion?"
"Who on earth is that tier-9 Soul Engineer protecting her in secret?"
In the Spectator stands, Shui Luoluo, with her arms crossed and leaning against the railing, clicked her tongue and said: "I finally see it clearly now; this session's Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy delegation has the demeanor of a champion."
"It is not unjust that our Four Element Academies lost to them previously."
"The royal academies of the Star Luo and Tianhun empires targeted Xiao Hongchen within the eight-group round-robin tournament."
"As a result, Star Luo lost to Sun Moon, and Dio lost to Shrek; both families stopped short at the top four."
"Compared to the previous session, there is still no progress to speak of."
"Therefore, after scheming and plotting back and forth, one's own strength still needs to be top-notch."
"Otherwise, one just looks like a Clown."
"Looking forward to the finals the day after tomorrow!"
After this match concluded, inside a luxuriously decorated study within Star Luo Imperial City,
Xu Jiujiu, dressed in exquisite imperial court attire, sat listlessly on a soft couch. Her arms propped against the armrests, revealing snow-white wrists as she supported her pretty face.
"Brother, the match was lost~"
Her tone carried thick reluctance and vexation.
Xu Jiawei put down the letter in his hands, looked at her, shook his head, and smiled: "Man proposes, heaven disposes."
"As planners, we must do our best to consider all factors."
"However, it's simply impossible for everything to be completely under control and sail smoothly."
"Of course, fully achieving the established goals is best, but if heaven truly doesn't grant what people wish, there's no need to force it."
"Rationally summarizing gains and losses so as not to repeat the same mistakes in the future—this is the enduring attitude for doing things."
"But we lost a fortune." Xu Jiujiu tilted her head, biting her lower lip gently, feeling as though she had shattered: "We spent so much money and did so much publicity, only to lose such a huge amount of face in the end."
"That doesn't matter either; we can consider ourselves to have gained something else instead." Xu Jiawei pondered slightly and retrieved a confidential letter from his storage ring.
With a gentle push, the confidential letter fluttered lightly across a distance of several meters and landed in Xu Jiujiu's arms.
"This is what I investigated regarding Huo Yuhao's origins; take a look."
Information regarding Huo Yuhao?!
Xu Jiujiu's Martial Souls perked up. Those three characters, Huo Yuhao, had lingered in her mind these past few days, almost becoming a Inner Demon.
"Imperial Brother, how did you manage to investigate this?"
As she spoke, she hurriedly opened it, picked up the confidential letter with her right hand, and wanted to read it word for word.
Unexpectedly, the very first sentence written on the confidential letter shocked her right hand into a tremor:
Huo Yuhao's original name was Dai Yuhao, and he is the illegitimate son born to Duke of the White Tiger Dai Hao.
Xu Jiujiu's breath hitched slightly. Her eyes widened, and she accelerated her reading speed.
After reading the confidential letter from start to finish, she turned it over and read it carefully once more.
Finally, a trace of regret flashed through her beautiful eyes as she said: "The Duke of the White Tiger's Mansion possesses extremely high autonomy over the management of its internal domestic servants."
"Calling it a country within a country is no exaggeration."
"It would have been great if Huo Yuhao hadn't been born in the Duke of the White Tiger's Mansion in the first place."
Xu Jiawei half-smiled and half-sighed: "Things that Mingde Hall could investigate within our Star Luo, there is no reason the Emperor of Star Luo couldn't investigate."
"However, with his rank-1 Innate Soul Power, in an elementary Spirit Master academy, he would most likely have simply been buried in obscurity."
"People from Mingde Hall secretly investigated his background? They value him this much."
These details were not written on the confidential letter. Xu Jiujiu was first startled, and then her eyes grew slightly cold as she said: "Furthermore, his Innate Soul Power is only rank 1? Then how did he Cultivate to level thirty by the age of twelve?"
"Could it be that the Sun-Moon Empire fed him some potent medicine?"
If Soul Ascension Pills and Xuanshui Pills both counted. Xu Jiawei pinched the space between his brows and said: "The key is what we can do and how to extract benefits from it."
Xu Jiujiu said: "Our Star Luo can also be considered his Mother country. Shall we turn him over?"
Xu Jiawei said: "How do we turn him over? If you can explain it clearly, you will lead this matter."
Xu Jiujiu tilted her head and said: "He is a twelve-year-old youth with no family members worth worrying about."
"Therefore, whatever he wants, give it to him—whether it's Soul Guidance Devices, Spirit Rings, or Soul Bones. If all else fails, resort to the honey trap."
A honey trap? Dear sister, you left the arena earlier and didn't see the aftermath.
Xu Jiawei thought about it carefully: once Meng Hongchen grew for another two years, what beauty in this world could be more gorgeous than her?
Not to mention she was also a top-tier Genius.
If his dear sister didn't make a move herself, she would have completely no chance.
This reminded Xu Jiawei. With a solemn and serious gaze, he said: "Jiujiu, no matter the circumstances, remember never to throw yourself into it."
"Ah?"
Xu Jiujiu pointed at herself with a blank gaze, then suddenly laughed uncontrollably: "He is only twelve years old."
"I am six years older than him. Imperial Brother, is your imagination really this wild?"
After laughing for quite a while, Xu Jiujiu vigorously rubbed her cheeks, straightened her body, and said craftily: "Whether interests or the honey trap work or not, our attitude must be in place."
"Even if Huo Yuhao remains steadfast and refuses to be turned, we must plant a thorn deep within the hearts of the Sun-Moon Empire's higher-ups."
"We must make the Sun-Moon Empire not only dare not fully trust him, but also guard against him at every turn."
"In this way, even if he lacks nothing in the future, our Star Luo Empire will still have a chance."
The brother and sister exchanged a tacit glance, and Xu Jiawei cast an appreciative look toward Xu Jiujiu.
There was one more point neither of them mentioned.
Not only had both legitimate sons of the Dai Family entered Shrek Academy, but they had also both fought on behalf of Shrek Academy.
You must know that as long as every generation of the Shrek Seven Devils does not die young, once they grow up, they are all Titled Douluos!
The outstanding figures among them even possess the potential to charge towards a Super Douluo.
Furthermore, Dai Hao was currently in his prime, and his cultivation still had the possibility of further breakthroughs and enhancements.
If the worst-case scenario occurred, by then the Dai Family would have three Super Douluos in a single household.
How could that be resolved?
Therefore, investing in and befriending Huo Yuhao also had these related considerations behind it.
"Jiujiu, since you can clearly grasp the key joints involved in this, hand this matter over to you to operate."
Star Emperor Grand Hotel.
Everyone from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was preparing to head out downstairs for dinner, and then return to the conference room to make tactical arrangements for the next steps.
Xu Jiujiu, followed by an old woman, suddenly paid a visit and specifically called out for Huo Yuhao by name.
The footsteps of everyone from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy paused as they looked toward Xu Jiujiu.
Xu Jiujiu visiting in such a formal manner did not look like she harbored good intentions.
Looking at this uninvited guest, Meng Hongchen's gaze was quite unkind as she said: "What business do you have with my Junior Brother?"
Junior Brother?! Xu Jiujiu chewed on these three words in her heart. Ignoring everyone's gazes, she looked at Huo Yuhao and smiled gently: "Having narrowly lost to Huo Yuhao in the previous team battle, tonight I am here to invite him to share a meal together and discuss Soul Guidance Devices."
"Discuss Soul Guidance Devices? Why not look for me?" Xiao Hongchen frowned and said.
"Forget it, Senior Brother Xiao." Huo Yuhao patted Xiao Hongchen's shoulder and smiled: "I also want to hear what high insights Her Highness the Princess has regarding Soul Guidance Devices."
The spiritual channel had already opened between Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and the others.
Huo Yuhao: This Princess Jiujiu's arrival is quite peculiar.
I also want to see what medicine she is selling in her gourd.
Don't worry about me; I won't go out of the Star Emperor Grand Hotel with them.
Furthermore, ever since the team match ended, the Hongchen's Blessing on my body was recharged personally by Teacher.
Even if a Super Douluo wanted to break through it, it would take some effort.
Seeing Xu Jiujiu come with such great fanfare, she probably won't do anything to me.
Meng Hongchen's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Although she still hadn't completely put her mind at ease, she still nodded and said: "Alright then."
Xiao Hongchen nodded and greeted everyone to leave the place.
Having opened his Martial Soul Vision and utilized the Telepathist's ability, Huo Yuhao had already read a few thoughts from Xu Jiujiu.
He had now confirmed that Xu Jiujiu knew about his background.
Coming with such great fanfare at a time when everyone was present,
with many eyes and ears about, along with the other members of the Reserve Team, it was very easy to arouse certain suspicions.
Presumably, this was also within the other party's plan.
If he refused dialogue, this matter would instead play right into the other party's hands.
It was better to openly and candidly see what Xu Jiujiu was thinking.
Watching the others leave the corridor, Xu Jiujiu's prepared draft became unnecessary. She smiled and said: "Speaking with smart people is truly convenient."
"Huo Yuhao, please."
Seeing Xu Jiujiu leading the way in front, Huo Yuhao glanced at the old woman who had vanished into the air, then immediately followed.
The two quickly arrived at a luxuriously decorated private room on the fifth floor.
On one side of the private room were several precious, unknown animal-skin sofas.
On the other side, a large circular dining table made of precious wood was already laden with various delicacies and fine foods.
With just a single glance, Huo Yuhao knew that these ingredients came from the hands of a master, completely losing nothing to the dishes prepared by the rank-8 Food-type Spirit Master in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's faculty cafeteria.
He pulled over a chair and sat on it, his expression showing not the slightest bit of emotional movement: "Your Highness the Princess, state your business if you have any. Once you're done speaking, I can go downstairs to eat."
"None of these delicacies catch your eye? It seems the Master of Mingde Hall takes very good care of you."
Xu Jiujiu smiled slightly, not surprised at all.
When she heard Meng Hongchen call Huo Yuhao her Junior Brother with her own ears, she had already guessed it.
Huo Yuhao remained unmoved, turning around to pour a cup of tea for each of them and handing one to Xu Jiujiu.
Casually using the Psychiatrist's ability, he planted the notion of holding victory in hand and having everything under control within the other party.
This was to make her speak more quickly.
"Stop fishing for words from me. Since you've already investigated my background, you might as well state your purpose, or that of His Majesty the Emperor of Star Luo."
"Your innocent look on the competition stage that day was indeed an act." Xu Jiujiu took the water cup and sat on another nearby chair, then simply spoke bluntly: "You grew up in the Star Luo Empire since childhood; the Star Luo Empire is your home—"
Huo Yuhao took a sip of tea and looked at Xu Jiujiu, his eyes clear and calm: "If you had said these words to me two years ago, perhaps you could have moved me."
"But now, heh."
Xu Jiujiu said earnestly: "After all, you hail from the Star Luo Empire; the people of the Sun-Moon Empire will never completely trust you."
"Even if the Master of Mingde Hall is willing to take you as a disciple, will he necessarily open his heart to you?"
"Could it be that he has no intention of utilizing you?"
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "So even if Teacher could weave a seamless identity for me,"
"you guys would still secretly spread rumors, right?"
"Teacher is far more magnanimous than you imagine."
"Furthermore, how could there be causeless love and hatred in this world?"
"My Mother loved me because I am her son. I hate Dai Hao and the White Tiger Duchess because her suppression and Dai Hao's inaction were the main reasons causing my Mother's premature death."
"Your Highness the Princess, I find that you seem a bit foolish."
"Conversely, might I ask you a question: do you have any thoughts of utilizing me?"
"Watch your words!" The red-dressed old woman appeared behind Xu Jiujiu at some unknown time.
Her gaze was somewhat frighteningly gloomy, and brilliant light shone within her azure-blue eyes.
The moment she appeared, a powerful coercive pressure immediately bloomed, precisely shrouding toward Huo Yuhao.
"Senior, don't—" Xu Jiujiu was just about to stop her when she saw Huo Yuhao snap his fingers.
A layer of a red shield that looked thin yet was incomparably tough abruptly appeared.
All the coercive pressure that the old woman placed onto the shield could not even churn up a single ripple.
What shocked her even more was the strength of the Soul Power fluctuations emanating from this red shield.
It had definitely reached the level of a tier-9 Soul Guidance Device!
Huo Yuhao's tone was flat as he said pointedly: "Senior, please exercise self-respect. If you do this one more time, I cannot guarantee the safety of the two of you."
A mere three-ring Spirit Elder acting with such unbridled audacity!
The old woman was instantly filled with irrepressible rage, and just as she was about to strike, she was stopped by Xu Jiujiu, who had reacted and stood up.
After soothing the old woman's emotions, Xu Jiujiu gave Huo Yuhao an apologetic look.
She suddenly discovered that both she and Xu Jiawei had somewhat miscalculated Huo Yuhao's standing in Jing Hongchen's heart.
How could Huo Yuhao even pull out a tier-9 defensive Soul Guidance Device?
Xiao Hongchen probably didn't even possess such a thing on him, right?
Could it be that a tier-9 Soul Engineer was secretly protecting him at this moment?
As she thought about it, she retrieved a black treasure pouch from her storage ring.
Without hiding it, she undid a corner of the treasure pouch, and a crystal skull appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
Appearing along with it was a strong, unmasked Mental Power that filled the entire room, while one bizarre illusion after another abruptly emerged.
Xu Jiujiu hurriedly closed the treasure pouch, and the illusions slowly vanished.
Huo Yuhao withdrew his Mental Detection with an astonished expression.
Logically speaking, if it were a conventional Soul Bone, then what should appear to take the upper hand and leave the body at this moment would be its Soul Power fluctuations.
But this was very unconventional.
Combining his learned Soul Bone appraisal abilities, he judged that the age of this Soul Bone was definitely no less than fifty thousand years.
Xu Jiujiu said spiritedly: "This is a mental-attribute head Soul Bone with an age of ninety thousand years; its value is not inferior even to a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone."
"As long as you are willing, our Star Luo imperial family is also willing to hunt a hundred-thousand-year sea Soul Beast for you when you reach the ninth ring—"
If even such generous conditions could not move Huo Yuhao,
Xu Jiujiu felt she really had to consider finding a beauty to deploy
At the Star Emperor Grand Hotel, inside the conference room of Shrek Academy.
After reading the combat power analysis manual provided by the data analyst Wang Shengjia, everyone from Shrek did not feel relaxed at all.
Even though they had won two consecutive points against Di'ao Academy to lock in their spot in the finals.
"That is simply how the situation stands."
Wang Shengjia tapped on the table and said solemnly, "The penetrating power of the rare metal bullets fired by that level 6 live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle is extremely exaggerated."
"Under a relatively conservative estimate, a level 5 Invincible Barrier can only hold up against one shot."
Wang Yan nodded and said, "That is why I told the three of you to carry an Invincible Barrier with you at all times; I am not trying to harm you."
"Did not the Sea God Pavilion send word a few days ago that they will establish contact with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy later on and launch an exchange student program?"
"Even the Douluos in the Sea God Pavilion place such high importance on Soul Guidance Devices, which is enough to show the importance of Soul Guidance Devices."
"Everyone, brainstorm and think of some countermeasures."
In addition to all members of the main team and the Reserve Team, Zhou Yi, Tang Ya, Xuanzi, and others were also sitting to the side and listening in.
Ever since confirming that Beibei was completely fine, and out of consideration for Tang Ya's presence, Zhang Lexuan had returned to Shrek Academy ahead of time.
Although Zhou Yi did not know how to win either, she had abundant trust in Tang Yin.
For no other reason than that Tang Yin was someone destined to walk the path to Deity.
Could a mere competition stop him?
Zhou Yi could not help but start fantasizing and yearning once again.
After Tang Yin defeated the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, he would obtain a Deity Inheritance, breaking the curse that no one had been able to become a god for ten thousand years.
Then she would also be able to emulate the legendary Martial Soul theory Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang and say:
"I have cultivated and taught a god!"
If she became famous across the continent because of this, then such a minor matter as rejecting Huo Yuhao's admission would naturally no longer count as a blemish.
The students' moods were not as relaxed as hers.
During the round-robin stage, when Xu Sanshi heard that Huo Yuhao had used a level 5 piercing cannon to eliminate his Cousin in a single shot.
He had sharply commented, "If Huo Yuhao were to face me."
"Even if he is holding a level 5 piercing cannon charged by someone else."
"Even if I do not use Xuanwu Replacement, relying solely on my defense after my Xuanwu Awakening which can withstand a direct attack from a Spirit Emperor."
"I can still crush him to death."
But after seeing the team battle between Huo Yuhao and the Star Luo National Academy the day before yesterday, Xu Sanshi bore the brunt of feeling immense pressure.
The thought of a rare metal bullet with power close to the Spirit Douluo level and a speed so fast that it was almost impossible to react to, shooting towards him—
made him feel like he had no other recourse except to stretch out his neck and await execution.
After all, his Soul Power had only reached Level 45, and he could not use an Invincible Barrier.
Over a year ago in Shrek City, that little Huo roasting fish whom he hadn't even bothered to look at properly—
was now already capable of killing him in a single strike through a Soul Guidance Device.
This kind of feeling was so surreal.
At least before seriously thinking about countermeasures today, he simply refused to believe it.
But he was the only defensive Spirit Master in this Shrek Academy Team!
His mood at this moment was incomparably tense, and he didn't have a shred of certainty about restraining Huo Yuhao on the arena.
Troublesome. Dai Yueheng's mood was also extremely solemn.
If only they could use underhanded methods to leave Huo Yuhao or Feng Tingting in an unprotected state.
Perhaps they could seriously injure or even wipe out one or two of them.
In that way, the trouble would vanish into thin air.
He Caitou's large dark face very well concealed his mercurial expression.
Although he was the sole participant of the Ultimate Soldier Project.
Yet this project, which he regarded as his only hope for revenge, was merely a elite soldier plan that Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department had to design under limited resources.
Coincidentally, during this trip to Mingdou, four senior brothers and sisters unfortunately sacrificed themselves, allowing him to step up as a substitute into the main team.
If he could win the championship of this tournament in the capacity of the main team, he would definitely gain more attention and resources.
Therefore, he attached great importance to this finals match, and right now he racked his brains trying to think of countermeasures.
Jiang Nannan, Ling Luochen, Beibei, and others also had troubled expressions.
Although they possessed the top combat power of twin Spirit Emperors, their core combat power was still far too lacking.
Furthermore, the level 6 live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle was simply too difficult to deal with.
Compared to these few people, Xiao Xiao saw things more openly.
She simply didn't buy into Tang Yin's narrative of Shrek Academy's ten-thousand-year glory.
If the so-called ten-thousand-year glory required her, a student who had just reached Level 30, to protect it, then they might as well forget about it!
Anyway, she had faced Ye Wuqing against the odds with Soul Power close to Level 30, and her conscience was clear.
They couldn't possibly expect her to withstand the level 6 live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle as well, right?
Xiao Xiao muttered inwardly. Noticing Tang Yin's gaze looking over, her heart tightened, and she quickly turned her head to avoid making eye contact with Tang Yin.
Seeing this, Tang Yin shook his head, exerted force with his right leg to stand up, swept his gaze across everyone present, and slowly said, "I don't understand why everyone is so wary of the level 6 live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle?"
"As if this finals match is destined to spell disaster for us."
"Ten thousand years ago, Ancestor Tang San embarked on a journey from Heaven Dou City, initiating the glorious Inheritance of Shrek Academy."
"The supreme glory of the continent's number one academy has thus been passed down for ten thousand years."
"In every tournament that our Shrek Academy participates in, whether in the original Three Douluo Empires or the Sun-Moon Empire, the public warmly welcomes us."
"Our ten-thousand-year glory is deeply rooted in people's hearts!"
"That vibrant vitality and Realm of all things progressing remain right before our eyes."
"How could this tournament, merely because of external items like Soul Guidance Devices, suddenly turn into the place where Shrek's ten-thousand-year glory is cut short?"
"No matter how you look at it, Shrek's Spirit Masters who work hard to improve themselves fighting the Sun-Moon Empire's Soul Engineers who rely purely on external objects—the advantage is with us!"
"Understand? Applause!"
As soon as Tang Yin finished this speech, only Tang Ya's applause sounded out.
Wang Yan's mouth tasted as bitter as if he had eaten coptis root.
He also wanted to boost morale, but they couldn't just rely on this kind of spiritual victory method.
Some tactical analysis spoken by Tang Yin should have a better effect. Wang Yan said with a serious expression, "Let's talk about something practical."
Looking at the intersecting gazes of everyone, Tang Yin nodded and said, "Huo Yuhao's level 6 live ammunition soul tool sniper rifle only has the might of two shots."
"According to Teacher Wang Shengjia's words, two Invincible Barriers can withstand them."
"Moreover, its charging time is extremely long. Judging from its performance in the last match, it requires at least thirty breaths."
"That means the charging time for a single shot is fifteen breaths."
"As long as we take out Huo Yuhao or Feng Tingting before this time point, it will be fine."
"Lastly," Tang Yin smiled with confidence, "our Shrek students Cultivate steadily, and our cultivation bases are solid and profound. The people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy boost their cultivation by taking drugs, and their Soul Power is superficial and unbearable."
"Their Soul Power Levels are merely artificially inflated, and they can only rely on rigid and inflexible Soul Guidance Devices for output."
"On our side, we not only have Xu Sanshi's Xuanwu Replacement, but also divine skills like Jiang Nannan's Invincible Golden Body."
What Tang Yin didn't say was that he still hadn't used Ring Explosion, the Clear Sky Hammer, and the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
Even Xu Sanshi could temporarily burst forth with hidden potential, so there was no reason he couldn't.
"I also have a plan!" Ma Xiaotao let out a long breath and said, "Before the team battle, let Junior Brother Tang feed back the Evil Fire within his body to me to enhance my fire attribute and Soul Power Level."
"That way, considering my threat level, I will become their primary target to deal with."
"By then, I will prepare two more Invincible Barriers."
"Although the rare metal bullet's firing speed is fast, my cultivation has already approached the Soul Saint level, and I can react to it."
"And you, Dai Yueheng." Ma Xiaotao looked at Dai Yueheng with bright eyes and said resolutely, "Right at the start of the match, you will coordinate with Xu Sanshi's Xuanwu Replacement, charge into the opponents' formation, and lock onto Huo Yuhao."
"As long as you can interfere with him, I can go all out and accidentally cause casualties."
"The finals are finished in a single day with no rest time in between."
"As long as we cause casualties in the team battle, we can severely weaken their subsequent combat power."
"If the tactical execution goes smoothly, you and I will coordinate our attacks to deal with Huo Yuhao, and when necessary, we don't need to hold back!"
"Good, good, good!" Xuanzi, who was on the side, clapped in praise and said, "With Tang Yin here, Xiaotao, you can rest assured and boldly absorb the Evil Fire. Perhaps it can push your fire attribute close to the extreme level."
"Anyway, as soon as the team battle ends, Tang Yin will be able to help you stabilize your condition."
"In addition, Dai Yueheng." Xuanzi's expression changed, and he said seriously, "Xiaotao has made such a huge sacrifice, how can you cower and not dare to step forward?"
"If you don't go all out in the finals, when will you?"
"What's wrong with the Evil Fire? As long as it is used on the Righteous Path, it is also exceptionally good."
"Not to mention that Tang Yin has a way to solve this problem."
"Furthermore, I have long earnestly said that Evil Fire is not the power of an Evil Soul Master."
"Otherwise, how could Xiaotao become an Inner Court Disciple and receive the academy's vigorous cultivation?"
"You must know that your ancestor was also one of the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils; you must not bring shame upon him."
Standing to the side, Wang Shengjia pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses, a trace of imperceptible excitement flashing in his eyes.
Just as he had expected.
The High Priest was going to make a move again!
Furthermore, the High Priest's ambition this time was not small at all.
Not only did he want to assist the Saintess in her transformation, but he also wanted to reel in a few more.
Ginger is indeed spicier the older it gets. Previously, Tang Yin had nearly worn out his tongue, yet it wasn't as effective as the High Priest's simple few words.
Looking at Dai Yueheng's appearance, he should have been persuaded.
Xuanzi is right, and Father is watching; I cannot retreat! A fierce glint flashed in Dai Yueheng's eyes. "I will stop Huo Yuhao and attract his hatred!"
"After the meeting ends, I will go to Tang Yin's room to absorb the Evil Fire into my body."
"Moreover, I have the confidence to take a rare metal bullet head-on without relying on an Invincible Barrier."
"The fault tolerance will be even higher. But —— my peak positioning ability is strong, yet I have no methods to target invisibility."
He Caitou suggested, "Judging from Xu Jiujiu's practical operation, Huo Yuhao's Mental Power is frighteningly strong."
"A level 5 Spiritual Marker Light was obliterated in an instant, but a level 6 Spiritual Marker Light will definitely hold up for at least a second."
"Although a level 6 Spiritual Marker Light is rare, it is definitely incomparable to a level 6 Invincible Barrier."
"In a super-giant city like Star Luo City, our Shrek Academy's chambers of commerce definitely have key storage warehouses."
"Even if they are not in the warehouses, we can borrow them from the Star Luo royal family."
"For them, us winning the championship is still better than letting the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy take it."
"What I am more worried about is how to deal with Meng Hongchen's poison?"
"If we use a level 5 exogenous poison-avoidance shield like the Star Luo National Academy did."
"It would be a tremendous burden on our Soul Power."
"Poisons and antidotes are precisely what my Tang Sect excels at!" Tang Yin smiled indomitably and said, "Although I have never been in contact with the extreme poison of the Vermilion-Clear Ice Toad."
"I have observed the symptoms of the poisoned victims using the Purple Demon Eye, thereby deducing its toxicity in reverse."
"A self-created cocktail therapy."
"Whatever symptoms there are, use the corresponding medicine."
"Therefore, I have concocted pills made from over five hundred types of medicinal herbs and over seven hundred types of poisons."
Tang Yin took out a bowl-sized medicine ball from his storage ring and displayed it for everyone to see.
Beibei felt his temples throbbing: "Medicine is three parts poisonous, and you used so many potent herbs and poisons."
"The toxicity of your medicine ball might even be more poisonous than the Vermilion-Clear Ice Toad!"
"There is also the consideration of fighting poison with poison within it." Seeing that everyone had reservations, Tang Yin patiently explained, "The most crucial thing is that once you swallow it, there is no need to additionally use Soul Power to suppress the extreme poison of the Vermilion-Clear Ice Toad."
"Under my meticulous formulation, the toxicity of this pill will only erupt successively within ten to thirty days."
"It completely will not affect the match."
Is this what Shrek Academy is like? Wang Dong felt that there were hardly any normal people left in this conference room.
Why is it that once something involves Tang Yin, the situation always unpredictably slides toward the Abyss?
When she first arrived at Shrek Academy, it wasn't this magical.
Wang Dong suppressed the worry and fear in her heart and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Anyway, I don't even have the qualification to play, so you can leave me out of your medicine ball and the Evil Fire that can boost Soul Power."
Exchanging glances with Xiao Xiao and Jiang Nannan, Beibei said unmoved, "As for the matter of the Evil Fire, the three of us will pass."
Seeing that Beibei not only couldn't come up with any effective plan but also didn't support Tang Yin's strategy, Tang Ya couldn't help saying, "Beibei, Tang Yin is doing this for our Shrek Academy's ——"
"Forget it! I, Tang Yin, have a clear conscience." Tang Yin smiled and waved his hand to signal Tang Ya not to speak further, but inwardly he was extremely dissatisfied.
To think he is the Tang Sect Senior Brother, yet he dares to undermine me time and time again.
The reason the Tang Sect has declined to this point is entirely because of such incompetent people occupying high posts without doing any work.
Where else can one find such fervent intentions toward the Tang Sect as mine?
Once I become the Sect Master in the future, I will definitely cripple his entire cultivation and expel him from the Tang Sect!
Whatever the Tang Sect gave him can naturally be taken back as well.
"Very well. Since everyone has almost finished discussing, those who are interested can queue up and come to my room."
"Those who are not interested shouldn't overthink it either; I am a person who doesn't hold grudges."
Tang Yin smiled, took a step ahead to return to his room, and waited for the team members who were coming to accept the Evil Fire.
Even someone as resistant as Zhu Lu, wasn't she infected with the Evil Fire by Dai Huabin through a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?
As for the others, as long as they wanted to play in the matches, it would also be hard for them to escape the pills.
At that time, before taking action to resolve their Evil Fire or poison outbreaks, just a few words of earnest and patient guidance.
Wouldn't all these geniuses with exceptional Martial Soul and cultivation talents entirely enter my Tang Sect!
Wang Yan, seeing that even Xuanzi personally stepped into the arena to support Tang Yin, had no other way.
He could only think in a positive direction.
Tang Yin said he had a way to solve the drawbacks, so he shouldn't be lying.
Furthermore, through this matter, the Martial Soul Department's students were no longer so resistant to Soul Guidance Devices, which was also a good thing.
In this way, the exchange student matter sent over by the academy a few days ago could be launched relatively well.
Watching the people walking toward Tang Yin's room one after another, Wang Dong felt a deep chill in her heart.
It would have been great if she had joined the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy back then.
Miss Meng not only shared a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with her, but was also beautiful and strong, though a bit cold.
Mm, a cold and glamorous beauty is also not bad; she wanted to cuddle up.
Unfortunately, as soon as the thought of leaving Shrek Academy arose, the golden light in her mind would stir, causing her head to ache as if it were splitting open.
Previously, Tang Yin had continued to follow behind her like maggots on tarsal bones, seemingly harboring a targeted conspiracy against her.
Coupled with the fact that Big Dad and Second Dad also refused to tell her the truth about her background.
It caused her to sometimes be jolted awake from her nightmares while sleeping.
Feeling helpless and utterly unsupported as she was swallowed in one gulp by some indescribable entity.
Her body and soul were digested completely clean!
Wait!
Wang Dong discovered something.
Wasn't Tang Yin's purpose in following her back then to confirm things regarding Miss Meng?
In other words, Miss Meng was also very likely the target of Tang Yin's targeted conspiracy!
Then could she join forces with Miss Meng to deal with Tang Yin together and help her break free from control?
That way she wouldn't be fighting alone anymore.
Perhaps she could even use the identity of an exchange student to go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
That way she would have more contact with Miss Meng, and perhaps there would even be a chance to practice the Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
Wang Dong's powder-blue eyes grew brighter and brighter, and she couldn't help jumping for joy inwardly
