The Competition Begins, Huo Yuhao's Strength

Not long after the people from the Body Sect left, Huo Yuhao and the others chatted for a while before returning to the hotel.

Huo Yuhao went straight to his room as soon as he returned to the hotel.

After arriving at the room, Huo Yuhao went straight to bed and then went to the Primordial Beginning Realm to find Electrolux.

When Electrolux sensed Huo Yuhao's arrival, he appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.

Electrolux had recovered even more than before.

Upon seeing Electrolux appear, Huo Yuhao took out the Soul Become God Method, a reward from a previous mission, and handed it to Electrolux.

Electrolux looked at the book in front of him and asked with a puzzled expression, "What is this?"

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, "Old Ilya, this is the Soul Become God Method. It can be used to cultivate the soul, and if cultivated to the extreme, one can become a god."

"This cultivation technique is especially suitable for you. After all, you are currently in a soul state, and cultivating this technique will be most beneficial to you."

Upon hearing this, Electrolux's eyes lit up immediately!

"There's actually such a technique?"

"That's fantastic!"

"It seems that at this rate of cultivation, I can not only quickly become a god, but also have the opportunity to break through to a higher realm than in my previous life!"

"Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, my divine consciousness might have been reduced to ashes long ago, let alone have the possibility of breaking through to a higher realm like it does now."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, "Not at all, not at all. If it weren't for Old Ilya, I might not have the strength I have today."

Old Ilya smiled with satisfaction, "Haha, Yuhao is too modest. I only offered some meager support."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Alright, Old Ilya, you continue your cultivation. I have some other things to take care of back home."

Old Ilya nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll go cultivate now. If you need anything, just call me and I'll appear immediately."

After saying this, Old Ilya disappeared.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, withdrew from the Primordial Beginning Realm.

Just then, the system's voice sounded:

[Bite!]

[The system detected that the owner has one more B-grade blind box that hasn't been opened yet. Do you want to open it now?]

Huo Yuhao looked puzzled upon hearing the system's words.

When will I get another blind box?

I remember I had already finished driving, didn't I?

Where did this B-grade blind box come from?

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao asked the system, "System, where did this B-grade treasure chest come from?"

The system replied:

[This blind box was leftover from when the owner previously won over and captured Wang Dong'er.]

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao recalled the mission he had undertaken to subdue Wang Dong'er.

After thinking for a while, Huo Yuhao successfully remembered that there were indeed two blind boxes back then: one for winning over Wang Dong'er and the other for taming Wang Dong'er.

However, my attention was focused on the S-Rank Blind Box, so I forgot about this B-Rank Blind Box.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's face broke into a happy smile.

He said to the system, "Open!"

The system's voice sounded again:

[The Grade B blind box has been opened!]

[Congratulations, Master! You have received the reward: Limit Breaking Ascension Method!]

[Reward Description: Limit Breaking Ascension Method, a cultivation method that allows for breakthroughs during actual combat. However, there are requirements for triggering this technique; one must reach their own limit in actual combat.]

When Huo Yuhao heard that he could break through in actual combat, his eyes lit up. However, when he heard that he had to reach his own limit, Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.

"Reach the limit? Reaching the limit in team fights is unlikely unless you encounter a very strong opponent..."

"Is there any other way...?"

Just then, the system's voice sounded again:

[Bite!]

[Congratulations, host! You have received a new mission!]

[Mission Description: Defeat seven opponents single-handedly in a match!]

[Mission Reward: A-Rank Blind Box]

Upon hearing this mission, Huo Yuhao was initially stunned. One against seven? Was this some serious business?

Wait, one against seven? Reaching the limit? I've got it!

After Huo Yuhao pondered for a while, he suddenly remembered.

In the Soul Master Competition's team battles, you can freely choose the number of players to participate!

"Doesn't this give us a chance to reach the limit?"

"A-Rank Blind Box, I wonder what good stuff I'll get when I open them..."

"There's a competition tomorrow, I'll just tell Teacher Xian Lin'er then."

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's smile deepened.

After finishing dinner, Huo Yuhao went to bed and began to meditate.

Nothing was said that night.

When the sun rose the next day, Huo Yuhao and the others arrived at the competition venue.

Because Huo Yuhao and his team won the Elimination Round rounds two days ago, they successfully advanced to the next round-robin stage.

Today is their first match in the round-robin tournament.

Today, their opponent is none other than the first team Huo Yuhao and his friends encountered in the Elimination Round of the original novel: Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Huo Yuhao had a deep impression of this team because in the original work, they were the team that was intimidated by the six Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring that Huo Yuhao Simulation with his mind, and was ultimately killed by Wang Dong using Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Although this team won easily in the original story, they were actually not a weak team.

Among the seven of them, five had reached the Soul Ancestor, and two were Soul Elder at the third ring level.

Moreover, among those five Soul Ancestor, one of them has already reached the late stage of Soul Ancestor. If he obtains another Soul Ring, he can directly reach the Soul King level.

Moreover, they are not very old. The original work mentions that they are only about twenty years old.

Reaching the Soul King level at the age of twenty means one's strength is not actually that weak.

But in Huo Yuhao's eyes, they were nothing more than tools to upgrade him.

Huo Yuhao was initially thinking that it might be difficult to say whether he could take on seven opponents at once today, since those who made it into the round-robin tournament were not weak.

However, Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised that this team was able to enter the round-robin stage and even meet him.

Before Huo Yuhao could continue thinking, they had already arrived at the preparation area.

When the Shrek Academy students and others appeared, everyone in the audience cheered again.

"Shrek! Shrek!"

"Shrek will win! Shrek will take the championship!"

Everyone was cheering for the Shrek Academy.

After all, they had already witnessed Huo Yuhao and the others' strength and teamwork in the Elimination Round.

It's simply incredibly powerful and perfect!

At that moment, Xu Jiawei also arrived at the viewing area at the top of the castle.

He was also very curious about what surprises Huo Yuhao and the others would bring them this time.

At the same time, the students from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy who were fighting also arrived here.

Upon seeing the two teams arrive, the referee on the field flew into the air and addressed everyone. "Everyone! Today is the first match of our Soul Master Competition's round-robin stage!"

"The teams competing are the Shrek Academy team and the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Team from the Tianling Empire!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the stands applauded and cheered.

The referee then said, "The rules for the round-robin tournament are different from those for the elimination tournament. The first match of the round-robin tournament is an individual Elimination Round. If one person defeats all seven opponents, they can advance directly."

"Only when the first side defeats four of the opposing team's players can they choose between a team battle or a 2-2-3 match."

"Alright, next, please send one person from each team to the stage for the match!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao from the Shrek Team said, "I'll go in the individual Elimination Round. It'll give me more practice."

Upon hearing this, Xian Lin'er nodded and said, "Since Yuhao wants to go on stage, then let Yuhao go!"

Just then, Wang Dong grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand and whispered, "Be careful."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry!"

After saying that, Huo Yuhao went up on stage to prepare for the competition.

After the referee saw that both teams had sent out their representatives, he immediately said, "Alright! Please step back, both of you. I did not say that neither side could activate their Martial Soul at the start of the match."

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling Huo Yuhao and the opposing team to retreat to the edge of the playing field.

After reaching the appropriate position, the referee raised his right hand, then swung it down heavily, shouting, "The first round of the round-robin tournament begins!"

As the referee's voice faded, two yellow and two purple Soul Ring suddenly appeared on the opponent's body.

Then they headed straight for Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao also directly displayed his Soul Ring, with one white, two black, and one red Soul Ring appearing.

When everyone saw the Soul Ring, they were stunned.

"What kind of Soul Ring combination is this?"

"The fourth one is 100,000 years old? And how many years old was the first one? I've never seen this color before!"

"And this air pressure is so strong... It's unbelievable that someone so young can absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!"

When the other party saw Huo Yuhao's Soul Ring configuration, they were stunned on the spot.

"Is this a human? A fourth Soul Ring, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring? Are you sure you're not cheating?"

For a moment, everyone in the audience, including those from other teams and Xu Jiawei, stared in disbelief at Huo Yuhao's Soul Ring.

They had never seen such an incredible combination of Soul Ring in their lives. Not only did it have a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, but it also had a Soul Ring they had never seen before.

After Huo Yuhao revealed his Soul Ring, the first Soul Ring quietly lit up.

"Soul Impact plus Eye of Illusory Break!"

Then, in Huo Yuhao's eyes, two invisible attacks flew towards the young man.

When the young man was hit by Huo Yuhao's two attacks, he was sent flying backward.

The young man then immediately fainted.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was completely dumbfounded.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"What happened? Why did that young man suddenly collapse?"

Even the referee was stunned when he saw this scene. How long had it been since he shouted "start the game"?

Is this guy just going to lie down like that?

But the referee quickly realized what was happening and raised his left hand, announcing, "In the individual Elimination Round, the first match, Shrek Team wins!"

Upon hearing the referee's words, the opposing team's coach immediately rushed to the stage to check on the student.

After checking him over and finding that it was just a brief fainting spell, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then the student was taken off the field.

However, in the next three matches, Huo Yuhao defeated his opponent using the same Soul Skill.

This left everyone present dumbfounded.

"Huh? A Soul Skill that pushes someone down?"

"Truly worthy of being a genius nurtured by the Shrek Academy! He actually managed to instantly kill four of the opposing team members with just one Soul Skill..."

"Looks like Shrek is going to win this match so easily!"

But just as the opposing team's teacher took the fourth student off the stage, Huo Yuhao suddenly said to the referee, "Referee, we'll choose team battle for the next match."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, including Xu Jiawei, who was completely dumbfounded after hearing Huo Yuhao's words.

He didn't understand why Huo Yuhao, who could simply push through alone, would go through the trouble of a team fight.

The members of the Shrek Team were also somewhat puzzled.

So after Huo Yuhao came down, they all went up to Huo Yuhao and asked, "What's wrong, Huo Yuhao? Why are you fighting a team battle?"

"Why bother with team battles when you could simply defeat all your opponents in the individual Elimination Round?"

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, "Because I want to challenge my limits."

Upon hearing this, everyone wore expressions of great confusion.

Immediately afterwards, Xian Lin'er asked, "Yuhao, what do you mean by that? What limits are you challenging?"

Huo Yuhao explained, "It's this team fight where I have to take on seven opponents at once."

Upon hearing this, everyone on the Shrek Team was stunned.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the senior students from the Inner Court who came to help asked, "Junior Brother Yuhao, you are very strong, but challenging seven... isn't that a bit too much of a stretch?"

They weren't looking down on Huo Yuhao, but they had never heard of such a demand—one against seven people.

But Huo Yuhao said, "It's okay, I can do it. Please give me your approval, Teacher Xian Lin'er."

Upon hearing this, Xian Lin'er also fell into thought.

Since Yuhao said he would challenge seven, he must have some other methods up his sleeve...

If all else fails, let him go up and give it a try; maybe he can actually succeed...

However, we still need to call for help, otherwise it will be difficult to handle if Huo Yuhao gets injured.

Thinking of this, Xian Lin'er nodded and said, "Since disciple Yuhao insists on going on stage, then your teacher will grant your request, but I have a condition."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao asked, "What are the conditions?"

Xian Lin'er said, "We must bring six people on stage. If any special circumstances arise, they can help you in time."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, then said, "No problem, teacher."

Upon hearing this, Xian Lin'er nodded and then called six people to go on stage with Huo Yuhao. However, once on stage, they stood directly at the edge of the match.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, stood directly in the center of the match.

The opposing team also came up on stage at this time, and those who had been stunned by Huo Yuhao earlier had now recovered.

But when they saw that Huo Yuhao's teammates were all standing behind him, they immediately showed a very puzzled expression.

Huo Yuhao then said, "Now that we're on stage, let's get ready to begin."

"The six players behind me aren't making a move, so I can take on all seven of you by myself."

Upon hearing this, everyone present doubted their ears.

"Huh? This guy's that arrogant? He's actually planning to take on seven people at once?"
