Chapter 165 The Competition... Begins!
With Huo Yuhao around, even though they were just reserve team members, they felt no tension at all.
More than anything, there was excitement.
Being able to stand on such a stage and represent Shrek Academy in battle is an honor in itself.
Huo Yuhao walked at the front, his steps steady and his expression calm.
Behind him, Wang Dong, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and He Caitou followed closely.
The five people slowly stepped onto the arena!
The cheers around them gradually subsided.
Those audience members who had been chanting "Shrek" were now staring wide-eyed, their faces full of confusion.
The fact that Shrek Academy fielded a team left them somewhat bewildered.
The requirement for participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament is that the participants must be Soul Masters under the age of twenty.
Under this requirement, naturally, the closer a Soul Master is to twenty years old, the higher their Soul Power and the stronger they are.
Therefore, most of the students sent by the academy are eighteen or nineteen years old, whose physiques are no different from those of adults.
At this moment, the seven students from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy who are on the field have an average age of nineteen.
But the Shrek team standing opposite them at this moment not only only had five people, but they also looked much younger than them!
Not only the audience, but also the preparation areas of various colleges were filled with discussions.
On the city wall, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo turned his head slightly and looked at the person beside him.
"Prime Minister," his voice wasn't loud, but it carried a hint of doubt, "do you know what's going on?"
The old man, referred to as the prime minister, shook his head. He was over seventy years old, with white hair and beard, but his eyes still revealed shrewdness and wisdom.
He slowly began, "The specifics are still unclear, but I've heard that Shrek Academy has significantly fewer participants this year than in previous years."
Xu Jiawei's gaze fell on the arena below, his brows furrowing slightly.
He simply couldn't understand what Shrek Academy was doing.
Meanwhile, in the preparation area, at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy...
A handsome young man leaned back in his chair, his face radiating undisguised arrogance.
"Shrek Academy is really arrogant," he scoffed, "daring to send only reserve players to the knockout stage."
No one else refuted him upon hearing this.
Clearly, they could tell from their ages that Huo Yuhao and the others were reserve team members.
A tall, short-haired old man spoke in a deep voice: "According to our information, Shrek Academy only has eight participants this time!"
"If these five are all reserve players, then they only have three regular players!"
Beside them, an elderly man with a face as red as a jujube also spoke up.
"Don't be careless. Don't forget, Shrek Academy, as the champion, has special privileges."
Upon hearing this, the short-haired man snorted.
"No matter who they send, we only have one goal this time..."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"That's the champion!"
This time, the team from the Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire is the strongest in three thousand years!
On the arena, the team members from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy were clearly aware that their opponents were all Shrek Academy's reserve members.
At that moment, a surge of indignation rose in their hearts.
Reserve player?
Is Shrek looking down on them?
Are you going to use a few children to appease them?
But they quickly calmed down.
Even if they are reserve members, they are still reserve members of Shrek Academy.
Shrek's millennia-old reputation caused their newly risen momentum to subside once again.
The anger was extinguished by reason before it could even ignite.
They dared not underestimate them.
"The match...begins!"
The referee's voice resounded throughout the arena, signaling the official start of the duel!
At Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, seven people simultaneously possessed their Martial Souls!
Three Soul Masters and four Soul Venerables—that was their entire strength.
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy, four spirit rings appeared beneath the feet of Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and He Caitou, all of which were at the Spirit Master level.
Wang Dong's Goddess of Light butterfly spread its magnificent wings, and three soul rings slowly rotated beneath its feet, indicating that it was a Soul Master.
These things can be easily seen after the martial spirit is attached to the body.
And when Huo Yuhao, standing at the back of the group, revealed his spirit rings...
The entire area around the arena seemed to have been paused!
All eyes were fixed on him!
Two purples, three blacks!
Five spirit rings floated silently beneath his feet!
The light that fell upon everyone's eyes was like a thunderclap!
Soul King!
This boy, who looks even younger, is actually the Soul King!
Moreover, his spirit ring configuration is so "supermodel"!
In the stands, the audience members who had been discussing the matter were now staring wide-eyed and mouths agape.
In the preparation area, those teams that had been mocking Shrek's arrogance were now all stiff-faced and speechless.
Even Xu Jiawei on the city wall had his pupils shrink slightly.
He turned to look at the prime minister, his voice tinged with disbelief: "This young man... what is his background?"
Before Xingluo's prime minister could reply, Xu Jiawei immediately gave the order.
"Find out all information about this boy as soon as possible."
His voice was deep and decisive, leaving no room for doubt.
As the Emperor of Xingluo, his intuition told him that this young man was definitely not simple.
The prime minister nodded in agreement and turned to make the arrangements.
And on the arena, the duel has officially begun.
The purple and black spirit rings on Huo Yuhao's body intertwined and shimmered, making the hearts of the opposing Tianling team members jump and their palms sweat.
However, they did not sense any powerful soul skills being released specifically targeting them.
Because Huo Yuhao still didn't plan to take direct action in this match, but instead only appeared as a support.
Mental Detection Sharing – Expand!
Spiritual resonance—connection!
Soul Whip - Amplification!
The three soul skills were completed almost simultaneously.
An invisible spiritual force surged forth like a tide, enveloping Wang Dong and his companions, instantly boosting their senses to their peak.
With the added boost from the cigars that He Caitou had prepared, Wang Dong and his group's combat strength increased dramatically in an instant!
When they fought against the students from the inner court, these enhancements didn't seem to have much effect.
After all, those opponents were all Soul Kings and Soul Emperors.
But at this moment... the opponents are just a group of Soul Masters and Soul Venerables.
Wang Dong flapped his wings and soared high, the wings of the Goddess of Light butterfly shimmering with brilliant golden light in the sunlight, and was the first to rush towards the opposite side!
Holding the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield, Xu Sanshi strode forward and followed closely behind.
Jiang Nannan moved with agility, like a ghost, quickly advancing from the side.
He Caitou stood there, a cigar dangling from his mouth, and leisurely hoisted a two-meter-long cannon onto his shoulder.
The cannon's muzzle was dark and pointed at the crowd on the other side.
The moment the two sides clashed, Shrek Academy gained the upper hand!
These members of the Tianling team are utterly no match for them!
Wang Dong's Butterfly God Light exploded, and a Soul Venerable immediately collapsed to the ground!
Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield slammed down, and another Soul Master coughed up blood and was knocked out of the arena!
Jiang Nannan's Soft Bone Rabbit engaged in close combat, throwing a Soul Venerable to the ground, leaving him completely disoriented!
He Caitou's soul-guided cannon roared, and a beam of light shot out, instantly eliminating two opponents who were trying to defend together!
The match lasted only a few breaths from start to finish!
It turns out that the Soul Masters of Shrek Academy are not on the same level as those of Soul Masters from other academies!
In just a few breaths, the result of the duel was revealed to everyone.
When the referee announced Shrek's victory, the audience, which had just quieted down, erupted in enthusiastic cheers once again!
"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!..."
The sound was deafening, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami crashing, engulfing the entire Xingluo Square!
