Today is the semi-final, the day that will determine the champion.
Early in the morning, Huo Yuhao and his two companions arrived at the Soul Fighting Zone to wait for the match to begin.
Du Weilun, who was in charge of drawing lots for the previous matches, had stepped aside. This time, the person in charge of drawing lots was the white-robed old man who appeared in the previous Ma Xiaotao attack incident, the dean of Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe.
In addition, Wang Yan, Du Weilun, Qian Duoduo, Fan Yu, and other well-known high-ranking members of Shrek Academy all came to watch the battle.
Looking at the number in his hand, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, handed it to Du Weilun beside him, and silently returned to the team.
"Class 1 of Freshmen, Huo Yuhao's team, draw number two."
Huo Yuhao had no idea how Huo Yuhao drew lots in the original story, nor did he use his mental detection to peek. He had always drawn lots purely by luck, and even deliberately gave up the lot he drew based on his first instinct and changed it to another one, but he still drew the same lot as in the original story.
One time would be fine and could be considered a coincidence, but how many times have the new students drawn lots for the assessment, and it's always the same as in the original story? That's a bit scary.
The plot of fighting and martial soul fusion skills can be changed, but this lottery draw is always accurate. Where does this strange interference come from?
However, Huo Yuhao quickly relaxed his furrowed brows.
Forget it, don't think too much about it. Anyway, drawing lots won't do me any harm, just like in the original story.
"Class 5 of the new students, Dai Huabin's team will draw lots."
A tall, blond-haired boy strode out, with double pupils in his eyes and long blond hair, a typical member of the Dai family.
Upon seeing the person in front of him, even though Huo Yuhao had prepared himself to suppress his body's reaction at any time, his body still couldn't stop trembling.
Fortunately, it only lasted a moment before Huo Yuhao forcefully suppressed the body's reaction.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the lottery ceremony, and Huo Yuhao's slight unusual movements did not attract the attention of others.
"Dai Huabin..." Huo Yuhao murmured the name.
"What's wrong?" Wang Dong turned to look at Huo Yuhao, wondering why Huo Yuhao suddenly brought up this name.
"He's probably our strongest opponent in this match, a three-ring Soul Master, and a top-tier Martial Soul that combines offense and defense."
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and said somewhat heavily, "The most crucial thing is that Zhu Lu in his team, her martial soul is the Netherworld Cat, ha, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and the Netherworld Cat..."
Wang Dong seemed to realize something as well, his expression changing slightly: "You mean... a Martial Soul Fusion Technique?!"
"Regardless of whether they have it or not, we must treat it as if they do, just like the Lan sisters did before. We can't afford to gamble. If they really use the Netherworld White Tiger, we will definitely lose."
"Once Xiao Xiao wakes up, we'll discuss the tactics properly. Hopefully, they'll give us a chance to hold our position then."
"Another Spirit Fusion Skill," Wang Dong clenched his fist in frustration. "If only we had Spirit Fusion Skills too..."
"Martial Soul Fusion Skills aren't something you encounter easily. Instead of thinking about such impossible things, let's think about how to play the matches this morning. None of the teams that made it to the top four are easy to defeat."
In the semifinals, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong faced opponents from Class 10 of the freshmen, three Great Soul Masters.
"The competition begins." With the proctor's announcement, the semi-finals officially began.
Immediately, the other two students in Class 10 of the new students immediately hid in a line behind the offensive system and began to release their martial spirits.
Zhou Sichen, Martial Soul Manual, can summon and absorb the soul beasts corresponding to the soul rings, a summoner in the Douluo Continent version.
Cao Jinxuan, whose martial spirit is Time Flies, is a player of time.
Dragon Soars, Martial Soul Boomerang, and that's it.
Just as everyone released their martial souls and were about to unleash their soul skills, Huo Yuhao disregarded martial ethics and directly delivered a soul shock to the guy whose martial soul was a clock, causing him to obediently disconnect, just like in the original story.
This attack consumed eighty percent of Huo Yuhao's mental energy and more than half of his soul power. It also happened to be halfway through the release of the soul skill, and he suffered an additional soul power backlash from the interruption of the soul skill. Fortunately, they had taken some time to position themselves, which allowed Huo Yuhao to seize this opportunity.
Don't blame Huo Yuhao for targeting him; it's just that he didn't want to experience the effects of time-based soul skills.
Zhou Sichen, who was summoning his summoned beast, heard a muffled groan behind him. Then, less than a second after taking off, Time Flies and Zhong vanished without even being able to unleash a single soul skill.
Under Long Xiangyue's astonished gaze, Cao Jinxuan collapsed to the ground and immediately lost consciousness.
Just as Zhou Sichen released the two, he turned his head and saw Cao Jinxuan lying on the ground, and was immediately shocked.
How could this be? Cao Jinxuan was clearly standing behind them, so why was he still being tracked?
"That guy with the mental attribute is suspicious!"
Zhou Sichen quickly realized that something was wrong with Huo Yuhao, and knew that they could no longer play it safe after losing their numerical advantage. He commanded the Earth Bear and Flame Tiger he had summoned to attack Wang Dong.
Upon hearing Zhou Sichen's words, Long Xiangyue nodded, slowly turned his body halfway back, and then suddenly turned back, throwing the boomerang in his hand. At the same time, the two spirit rings on his body lit up.
Huo Yuhao, who was keeping a close eye on Long Xiangyue's situation, naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. Since he didn't have the mental strength to use a soul attack, he could only choose mental interference as in the original story.
Suddenly, Long Xiangyue felt a momentary dizziness, his vision blurred for a split second, and his previously accurate control suddenly faltered.
The boomerang landed half a meter away from Huo Yuhao, with one corner deeply embedded in the ground.
Mental interference, unlike soul impact, is a mental attribute attack. It is not offensive in itself, but it is an extremely disgusting skill.
Huo Yuhao's experiment essentially disrupted a person's mental concentration, making it difficult for them to focus for a moment.
For example, if you are concentrating on calculating calculus and your brain, which is working at full capacity, suddenly shuts down for a moment, although it will not cause any harm, the impact of interrupting your train of thought cannot be ignored, especially for Soul Masters who need to concentrate when fighting. However, it has little impact when facing a brute.
In short, Long Xiangyue, who was controlling the boomerang, was so disturbed that his shot went completely astray.
Unfortunately, the mental interference effect can only last for a very short time. Long Xiangyue quickly recovered and waved his right hand. The boomerang stuck in the ground disappeared into thin air and reappeared in Long Xiangyue's hand.
This time, Long Xiangyue learned his lesson. He focused his mind, densely covering his entire body with his soul power, before throwing the boomerang again.
Huo Yuhao simply didn't have the extra mental energy to use his soul skills this time, so he could only stall until Wang Dong dealt with Zhou Sichen. Hopefully, Zhou Sichen, who had to control his summoned beast himself, would soon reveal a weakness.
