Nan Shuishui, watching from the stands, began to ponder as she saw Huo Yuhao's spirited demeanor.
The ice spring in the secret place of the Earth Dragon Gate was originally intended by Nan Shuishui to be given to Nan Qiuqiu as part of her dowry.
But seeing Huo Yuhao's performance now, she suddenly felt that investing in Huo Yuhao with the cave dwelling under the Cold Spring might yield even greater results.
With the departure of the members of the Di'ao Second Team, the Star Luo Empire's maintenance team began to urgently construct a new arena.
The arena had already been smashed to pieces by Huo Yuhao's punch. If the fight continued on the spot, the audience in the back rows wouldn't be able to see the match at all.
However, no one's attention was on that.
They all engaged in a heated discussion about Huo Yuhao's strength.
Even though the later teams put on incredibly fierce battles, the response was lukewarm.
Two days later, in the individual battle, the Star Luo team chose to persevere even though they knew they were doomed to lose.
However, Huo Yuhao did not participate this time, but instead let the members of the Di'ao Second Team fight individually.
Demon Dragon, Thunder Dragon, Golden Dragon, Flame Dragon, Dream Dragon, and Green Maiden—except for Long Aotian and Ning Tian, all the other members went on stage to participate in the competition.
At first, the audience did not understand the intention behind the Di'ao II team's move.
It wasn't until a spectator from the Heavenly Soul Empire suddenly exclaimed that all these members were from Huo Yuhao's Azure Dragon Guard that people realized Huo Yuhao was using the Soul Master Competition to completely replace the Shrek Seven Devils with his Azure Dragon Guard.
Huo Yuhao is trying to reshape the landscape of the younger generation in Douluo Continent!
The war between the Heavenly Soul Empire and Shrek Academy has officially begun with the defeat of the Star Luo Team!
Inside the Star Emperor Hotel, in the Shrek conference room, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Wang Dong did not attend this meeting.
Because she lost contact with Tang Yi when the evil spirit masters attacked, she has been in a bad mood for the past few days.
Although Tang Yi was brought by her under the guise of a servant, he was still a person from Haotianbao.
The Shrek team didn't care that Wang Dong didn't want to attend the meeting. Even if she came, it wouldn't make a difference. Her Soul Master status with the Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul was not as useful as Jiang Nannan's Invincible Golden Body.
"The semi-final draw is tomorrow," Xuanzi said. "Di'ao Academy has already secured a place in the top three."
"Leaving aside their second team, even the members of their first team exhibit a distinctly aggressive playing style."
"If it weren't for Xiao Tao in this tournament, I'm afraid we would have had a hard time even beating Di'ao's first team."
The Shrek team remained silent.
"Regardless of who our opponent is in the semifinals, we need to discuss strategies against the Di'ao II team beforehand."
Yan Shaozhe then spoke up: "Strategic abandonment."
"Abandon individual battles and focus on team battles and 2-2-3 formations."
"Our team has two support players, and if it's a one-on-one fight, they won't be a match for the Di'ao Second Team, which is all-out offensive."
"Only by winning team battles can we possibly defeat the Di'ao II team."
Then, Yan Shaozhe unfolded the battle plan he had prepared the day before.
"Yao Haoxuan is unable to play."
Faced with the puzzled looks from the crowd, Yan Shaozhe explained, "Tianmeng in their team is a spirit-type soul master."
"Yao Haoxuan's soul skills are mostly based on willpower, making them easy for Tianmeng to counter."
"We don't know what kind of boost Tianmeng's always-lit spirit ring provides to the Di'ao Second Team, but we have to be careful."
Yao Haoxuan remained silent for a moment, then said that he would not participate in the match as long as the team could win.
"The biggest upheaval in Star Luo City right now is Huo Yuhao's Azure Dragon Guard, which wants to replace the Shrek Seven Devils on the continent under the name of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations."
"If this is true, then Long Aotian and Ning Tian will no longer appear on screen."
Looking at Yan Shaozhe's tactical diagram, Dai Yueheng said, "So why don't we take a gamble and bet that Long Aotian and Ning Tian won't make an appearance?"
"With Gongyang Mo's assistance, we might not be without—"
Ma Xiaotao said irritably, "Huo Yuhao and Su Tong have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on the hearts of everyone in the Shrek team.
Huo Yuhao and Su Tong were both able to defeat Ma Xiaotao using their Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
With their current strength, if they were to use their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, even the referee Huang Jinxu would likely be affected.
The Shrek team members frowned, unable to come up with a countermeasure for the moment.
With three extremes, one annihilation, and one spirit, plus two lightning and flame dragons charging from the side, this team is simply unbeatable, even without any support-type soul masters.
Even though the Xuanming substitution is already known, Sanshi still has to participate.
Xuanzi said in a deep voice, "This is the only chance to break up Huo Yuhao and Su Tong's Martial Soul Fusion Technique."
"I'll go to the Star Luo Empire to borrow a few invincible shields for San Shi. We absolutely must prevent a repeat of the situation at Zheng Tian Academy."
"Thus, we can confirm that the participants include Xiao Tao, Yue Heng, Xi Xi, Gong Yang Mo, San Shi, and He Cai Tou."
According to Shrek Academy's original plan, Ling Luochen should not be allowed to play at this time under any circumstances.
She was completely unable to defend herself against Huo Yuhao and Su Tong, and might not even be able to use her martial spirit.
Therefore, the original plan had to be followed, and He Caitou would have to take her place.
He Caitou then spoke up, "My martial spirit is a cigar, which has various ability-enhancing effects."
His words stunned everyone present.
The Shrek team has not paid any attention to He Caitou these days.
After all, in their minds, soul tools were nothing special; otherwise, how could the Sun Moon Empire have been defeated in the first place?
Leaving aside distant examples, just look at the match the day before yesterday. The Star Luo team used so many powerful soul tools, yet they were still defeated by the Di'ao Second Team in just one minute.
As a result, He Caitou's unexpected remark drew everyone's attention to him.
A hint of resentment appeared in He Caitou's eyes.
He thought to himself that if the Heavenly Soul Empire hadn't been pushing Shrek Academy so hard, Dean Xian Lin'er and Senior Chen Zifeng wouldn't have been fighting in the Blood Star Forest, Dean Qian Duoduo wouldn't have resigned, and the Soul Guidance Department wouldn't have fallen to the point where Fan Yu had to shoulder the burden.
Even though Qian Duoduo had said before leaving the hospital that she would go overseas to find Poseidon Island, how could He Caitou be at ease?
That is a vast ocean that has been cut off from the mainland for ten thousand years, a forbidden zone that even the Sun Moon Empire dares not venture into.
He Caitou quickly explained the effects of his cigars to the Shrek team members.
After hearing this, Xuanzi's eyes showed a strange emotion. "Why didn't you say so back then? That way you could have come to our Martial Soul Department."
He Caitou said in a muffled voice, "It was Teacher Fanyu who saved me back then, so I can only choose the Soul Guidance Department."
"Not just now, but in the future I will also shed my blood for Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department."
"No way." Yan Shaozhe refused decisively: "After the competition, you must switch to the Martial Soul Department."
This food-type Soul Master, with his powerful amplification effect, is definitely the Holy Spirit Cult's best reserve food source.
Therefore, Yan Shaozhe believed that He Caitou must be transferred to the Martial Soul System and kept under his strict supervision before he could feel at ease.
He Caitou suddenly stood up: "Dean Yan, I will absolutely never betray the Soul Guidance Department!"
"That's enough!"
Ma Xiaotao slammed her hand on the table: "Now is not the time for pre-arranged deals! He Caitou, you can talk about it when you get back!"
"Don't you want to avenge Dean Xian, Dean Qian, and Chen Zifeng?!"
The atmosphere in the meeting room froze instantly.
"Let's determine the tactics first."
Ma Xiaotao felt increasingly irritable, completely unaware that she had just interrupted Yan Shaozhe and He Caitou's conversation: "Now we need to hurry up and confirm the last person."
Jiang Nannan hesitated before standing up.
But Beibei grabbed her shoulders and said, "I'll go."
"I can't speak for others, but that Jade Dragon will definitely be targeting me. The two Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus bloodlines appeared in Dio and Shrek respectively, so there can only be one legitimate one."
"I can stimulate the Holy Light Dragon bloodline within me and briefly evolve into a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, which can restrain Yu Tianlong for a period of time."
"But I can't guarantee we'll win."
Now that Tang Ya has disappeared, Bei Bei really can't bear to see Jiang Nannan sacrifice herself to provoke Xu Sanshi into completing his bloodline evolution.
Moreover, even if Xu Sanshi evolves into the Xuanwu Shield, how many punches can he stop Huo Yuhao and Gu Mingxi from landing?
With the number of participants determined, Xuanzi and Yan Shaozhe quickly began making strategic arrangements based on these seven individuals.
They discussed it until dawn, and finally managed to come up with a result, albeit with some difficulty.
The core of Shrek Team's tactics is Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao stretched out a big yawn on the Di'ao team's side.
Unlike the Shrek team, who were extremely tense, Huo Yuhao was quite relaxed.
He didn't even cultivate last night; instead, he used the Life-Carving Knife to carve the image-recording soul tool he promised to make for Nan Qiuqiu.
After pushing open his bedroom door, Huo Yuhao squinted at the rising sun, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
He only gave the Azure Dragon Guard one sentence last night:
If you draw Shrek, then go all out to tear He Caitou's face off.
As the sun slowly rose, all members of the Azure Dragon Guard once again arrived at the Soul Master Competition arena.
When Huo Yuhao led the Azure Dragon Guard to appear, the audience from the Heaven and Earth Dragon Gates, the Body Sect, and the Heavenly Soul Empire immediately chanted in unison: "Azure Dragon Seven Constellations! Azure Dragon Seven Constellations! Azure Dragon Seven Constellations!"
The cheers grew louder and louder, making the Shrek team, who were preparing to draw lots on the stage, look increasingly grim.
Ma Xiaotao glanced at the surrounding audience, a barely perceptible hint of darkness flashing in her eyes.
She took a deep breath and was about to step onto the stage to draw lots when she suddenly paused.
She then concealed her hands in her sleeves and discreetly washed them with the Phoenix Fire.
As long as I don't run into the second team of the Imperial Olympic Team, I'm fine with any team I draw, even the Sun and Moon Team.
Xu Jiawei, who personally presided over the draw for the semi-finals, glanced at the four teams and then turned his attention to Dai Hao, who was maintaining order.
Yesterday, news came from the Northern Army Group that the young man he had named a viscount had successfully annihilated the Heavenly Soul Empire's Fuyou Battalion's elite squad.
Xu Jiawei did not hesitate and immediately arranged for people to go to the Northern Army Group to publicize the young man's achievements.
Since Xu Jiujiu could no longer be the one to control the Western Army Group, Xu Jiawei had to hold onto this young man tightly.
He wanted to mold this young man into a military genius for the Northern Army Group, so that he could challenge Dai Hao in the future.
Xu Jiawei will not touch Dai Hao until this young man has matured.
Xu Jiawei looked around the audience and suddenly his pupils dilated as he saw someone he was extremely surprised to see.
It won't kill you with poison.
Why is he here now, having not appeared since the first day of the competition?
Huo Yuhao, who was preparing to draw lots, naturally saw Du Busi as well.
Not only did Du Bu Si not die, but even Yu Long Tu finally asked Xue Heng for leave to come here and watch Yu Tian Long's match.
However, Jin Peng did not return this time; instead, he was urgently overseeing the deployment of coastal defense tasks.
Huo Yuhao and Du Busi blinked after exchanging glances, using this gesture instead of a nod.
Now that Poison Undying has appeared, it means that the Body Sect disciple who infiltrated the Star Luo Northern Army Group has already been cursed with a life-or-death calamity by Poison Undying.
This disciple has basically reached the end of his career by now, having reached his current position.
If you want to continue your undercover work, gain merit in the Star Luo Army, and climb to a higher position, you'll need to kill the Heavenly Soul soldiers in real combat.
For the Heavenly Soul Empire, now that they have achieved their goal of sowing discord between Xu Jiawei and Dai Hao, there is no need to resort to such a self-inflicted injury tactic.
Therefore, this disciple of the Body Sect should return to the Heavenly Soul Empire to receive his reward.
Xu Jiawei walked closer and threw four golden balls into the air.
The team that receives two gold balls with the same number will be the opponent in the semi-finals.
Huo Yuhao didn't jump up to snatch it; he simply used his ultimate ice technique to pull it away.
Ma Xiaotao reached out her arm, intending to grab the leftmost golden ball, but her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She sensed something was very wrong, so she chose to reach to the right and snatch the golden ball that Ma Rulong had his eye on.
"you!"
Ma Rulong was caught off guard by Ma Xiaotao's sudden collision, and his right hand missed its target.
Ignoring Ma Rulong's angry glare, Ma Xiaotao looked at the number on the golden ball in her hand.
Number One.
At that moment, Huo Yuhao's voice rang out from the side: "I am number one."
Jiang Peng and Ma Rulong's expressions immediately became extremely strange.
After Xu Jiawei personally checked the draw results, he loudly announced to the crowd outside the arena: "The first match of the semifinals: Di'ao Team II vs. Shrek Academy Team!"
The audience erupted in cheers!
This is a showdown between the newly formed Azure Dragon Seven Constellations and the veteran Shrek Seven Devils!
Poison Undying laughed loudly from the audience: "Last time, your Shrek Academy suffered a huge misfortune because of stealing!"
"I can't believe you still haven't learned your lesson this time!"
After Jiang Peng and Ma Rulong left the field, Huo Yuhao turned to look at the preparation area of the Di'ao Second Team.
"The Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon!"
Huo Yuhao laughed and shouted, "The Star Destiny has returned to its place!"
"Let's crush the Shrek Seven Devils under our feet today!"
Gu Mingxi, Su Tong, Tian Meng, Nan Qiuqiu, Yu Tianlong, and Xing Yan stood up at the same time.
The six people leaped straight onto the platform, landing steadily behind Huo Yuhao in a row, their momentum unstoppable.
On the Shrek team's side, Ma Xiaotao's face was ashen, so gloomy it looked like water could drip from it.
"The Shrek Seven Devils!"
Ma Xiaotao gritted her teeth, practically forcing the words out: "Let them see what a real monster is!"
