" Ye Wuqing ".
" Huo Yuhao ".
The two introduced themselves briefly and then resumed the game.
Ye Wuqing was tall and slender with a well-proportioned figure. He was not particularly handsome, but his most distinctive feature was his expressionless face, as if nothing around him could affect his emotional changes.
A golden light flashed in Ye Wuqing's eyes, and a long, narrow leaf floated silently in front of him. Then, he put his left index and middle fingers together and held the golden leaf in his hand.
Two yellow, two purple, and one black—five perfectly matched Spirit Ring instantly appeared around him, his imposing aura of level 58 sweeping across the entire arena.
Once he entered battle mode, his gaze was cold, as if the team that Shrek was about to One-vs-Seven Sweep opponents wasn't their Zhengtian Academy at all.
Huo Yuhao also possesses the Spirit Eye Martial Soul Possession.
Despite only being Soul Ancestor, his aura was even more imposing.
He instantly dismantled Ye Wuqing's probing pressure and launched a counterattack.
The battle between the two is about to begin.
The people from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Master Academy watching the battle were glued to Huo Yuhao.
Their current task is to carefully observe and gather intelligence on Shrek, and then devise a way to defeat them.
actually.
As the vice-captain of Shrek, Huo Yuhao was originally their target of observation, but he was not a high priority.
Their imagined enemies were still Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, who were both Soul Emperor.
Talent is, after all, just talent.
All we can say is that Huo Yuhao is the most noteworthy opponent in the next generation; the future belongs to him.
But now, it's still the older generation's domain.
After all, the Soul Power Level has a huge impact.
However, given the opponent's current combat prowess, their bizarre Soul Skill, and the near-achievement of defeating One-vs-Seven Sweep, it's clear that...
Sun Moon Academy was on high alert.
Plans have changed!
Although Zhengtian Academy treats Soul Tool like trash, and was even defeated by the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Master Academy in the previous year, it was just a lousy top eight team.
However, this year's Zhengtian Academy is no ordinary institution.
The three Soul King each possess unique skills.
This is arguably the most luxurious edition yet.
Even so, they all became stepping stones for Huo Yuhao.
Even more so, Huo Yuhao acted so calmly?
It was thanks to Shangguan Can, who possessed Spiritual Martial Soul, that Huo Yuhao was able to probe out the type of his Martial Soul and Soul Skill.
As the possessor of the Angel Martial Soul, Yu Mengdi forced Huo Yuhao to reveal his strongest trump card, namely his Fourth Spirit Ring, which was ten thousand years old.
This helped to slightly dispel the mystery surrounding Huo Yuhao.
With the intelligence, things became much better.
And now, he is the strongest genius in the Zhengtian Academy in a thousand years.
Ye Wuqing was also someone they had high hopes for.
Ideally, we could dampen Shrek's arrogance and end Huo Yuhao's winning streak!
The cheers from the audience grew even louder.
The clash of Soul Skill that happened earlier was incredibly exciting!
This has made everyone even more eager for the battles to come.
Even the civil and military officials, including Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire, who were on the Imperial City wall, were watching the game with complete focus, afraid of missing any details.
At this moment, Ye Wuqing made the first move.
Ye Wuqing's Fourth Spirit Ring lit up, and in an instant Ye Wuqing left hand underwent a tremendous change.
Numerous vein-like blood vessels shimmered with dazzling golden light on it, and Ye Wuqing's left hand had completely turned golden.
This is Ye Wuqing's Fourth Soul Skill, Golden Left Hand.
Although this Soul Skill only amplifies his left hand, the power will be multiplied when he releases the Golden Leaf with his Golden Left Hand!
After receiving the boost from the Golden Left Hand, Ye Wuqing's black fifth Spirit Ring lit up, and his entire aura changed.
Golden Left Hand quickly rose, palm facing the sky, as if he were about to tear the sky apart.
On that pitch-black fifth Spirit Ring, specks of golden light shone, and tiny golden dots of light quickly drifted out and spread around his body, forming a golden light curtain.
Immediately afterwards, the golden light spot rapidly grew larger.
It transformed into hundreds, or even thousands, of Golden Leaf, which began to spin rapidly around Ye Wuqing's body.
Countless sharp Golden Leaf spun continuously, creating a dazzling golden storm!
The fifth Spirit Ring in ten thousand years, the Dance of the Golden Leaf!
Ye Wuqing unleashed his fifth Soul Skill, sweeping directly towards Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao's response was simply to make a fist with his right hand.
Then an extreme chill emanated from his body.
Ice Soul Blade Domain!
Instantly, the protective shield formed by the 108 Soul Master surrounding the entire arena began to tremble violently.
Large swaths of blue light condensed inside the shield.
The temperature on the entire competition stage dropped sharply.
As the blue light burst forth, the air within a 30-meter radius of Huo Yuhao's body distorted dramatically.
The howling sound was as if Huo Yuhao had brought the snow and wind from the Far North.
A sharp glint of light appeared.
Despite the relentless onslaught of countless Golden Leaf and torrential rain, Huo Yuhao remained unmoved.
But when the storm of sharp Golden Leaf collided with the Ice Soul Blade Domain, it was as if they had encountered their natural enemy.
In an instant, large swaths of Golden Leaf were pulverized.
It cannot be restarted.
Ye Wuqing:?
Dude, is that even Soul Skill?!
I didn't see your Spirit Ring light up either!
Seeing that even his strongest attack had failed, even the usually aloof Ye Wuqing could no longer hold back.
"Gulp."
His throat even bobbed, and he involuntarily swallowed.
Is this guy really Soul Ancestor?
Just as Ye Wuqing a chill run down his spine.
Huo Yuhao showed no mercy, and with a wave of his right hand, the thirty-meter-long Ice Soul Blade Domain vanished instantly.
No, it didn't disappear, but transformed into deep blue Blade Qi that Entanglement around Huo Yuhao's hands, almost solid, as if he were wearing a sapphire arm armor.
Then, they surged forth as if commanded by an arm.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Huo Yuhao threw a punch, and blue Blade Qi instantly tore through the air, creating a whooshing sound. A huge blue Blade Qi transformed into a blue dragon, roaring and churning.
A powerful burst of energy erupted instantly, and a resounding clang of the blade echoed through the sky.
Ice Soul Blade!
The Blade Qi is like a dragon!
Like the Milky Way falling from the ninth heaven!
Though I have no knife in my hand, I have one in my heart!
Although, using this killer move on Ye Wuqing was a bit of an overkill.
But it's a good way to wrap things up.
He could also deliberately create a false impression, letting those who speculate about his Martial Soul and Soul Skill continue to be alarmed.
Although Huo Yuhao did not use his full strength, this attack, comparable to that of Soul Saint, was something Ye Wuqing could not withstand.
The outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.
Faced with this critical moment, the Soul Saint powerhouse who was acting as the referee naturally stepped forward without hesitation.
After all, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.
However, compared to the Arrow of Piercing released using Spiritual Replication last time, Huo Yuhao had extremely strong control over this strike.
At this moment, with the referee leaving the field, the outcome was already decided.
Huo Yuhao also cooperated by spreading out the Ice Soul Blade's attacks as much as possible.
Under Huo Yuhao's dispersion, the Ice Soul Blade, which was originally concentrated at a single point, instantly split apart and spread in all directions.
In an instant, half of the competition stage was shrouded in blue light. Reflected by the protective shield, the entire stage appeared a deep blue, dazzlingly bright.
Under the intense blue light, the spectators couldn't see what was happening on the competition stage at all.
Only those powerful Soul Master can see through the protective shield to see what is happening on the competition stage.
As the Blade Qi dissipated, everything on the competition stage gradually became clear.
The audience only saw the Soul Saint Referee protecting Ye Wuqing.
Without activating his Martial Soul Avatar, he looked quite disheveled at the moment.
Because the Martial Soul Avatar was already used in the previous match and is still in cooldown period.
When I felt the attack from the Ice Soul Blade head-on.
The referee felt as if his soul was being frozen and severed; he even saw his great-great-grandmother's serene face...
Thankfully, it turned out to be a false alarm.
The referee gave Huo Yuhao a long look.
With his insight and strength, he could naturally see that Huo Yuhao was holding back.
At the same time, he was deeply shocked.
Young people these days are really getting more and more terrifying!
Moreover, he had a terrifying suspicion.
Although it's a fantasy, it seems to make perfect sense.
In short, the referee, still shaken, has made up his mind that he will never referee a Shrek Academy match again.
He was just a minor Soul Saint.
They were pitiful, weak, and helpless.
Should Defense System Soul Saint be treated like this?
Whoever wants to be the referee at Shrek can be one.
He could no longer afford to overestimate his abilities and take on another task.
The vice-captain of the Soul Ancestor is already so powerful.
Shrek even has a captain who is at the Soul Emperor level!
Although the Soul Saint is a significant dividing line on the path of Soul Master.
The strength of Martial Soul Avatar largely determines the power of most Soul Master.
After all, once you reach the Soul Saint realm, the gap between Martial Soul and top-tier Martial Soul will widen instantly, and your combat power will increase exponentially.
Only when one reaches the Soul Saint, and possesses a top-tier Martial Soul Master, can one truly emerge from obscurity and demonstrate the suppressive power of that top-tier Martial Soul.
Just like Beibei's Radiant Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and Xu Sanshi's Black Tortoise Shield, they can only be truly used freely when one reaches the Soul Saint.
Even with the Ultimate Martial Soul, only by reaching the Soul Saint can one break free from the cultivation constraints brought by the Ultimate Martial Soul and truly unleash Martial Soul full power.
But.
The strength of some extraordinary geniuses cannot be judged solely by their Soul Power Level.
Especially those from Shrek.
With my mediocre skills, how can I possibly protect the students of both sides in the competition?
We must send in a more powerful Soul Master!
Bring forth the Soul Douluo —no, the Titled Douluo!
The presence of a powerful figure at the Titled Douluo level also demonstrates respect for Shrek Academy.
Leaving aside the referee's miserable situation for now.
The audience also noticed it.
The competition stage was left with numerous sharp and undeniable cracks.
Such a horrific scene was witnessed even by the emperor and his ministers who were watching the game.
Students and team leaders participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament.
The onlookers were all awestruck by Huo Yuhao's terrifying strength.
The once bustling Star Luo Plaza fell silent for a while.
A moment later, an even more passionate and surging voice resounded through the heavens and earth, soaring into the sky.
Shrek!
" One-vs-Seven Sweep!"
" Huo Yuhao!"
As the Soul Tool Shield outside the arena was removed, the referee, whose mind was racing, turned his attention away from Huo Yuhao.
He composed himself before raising his voice to shout.
"In the first round of the Round Robin, Shrek Academy faced Zhengtian Academy, and Shrek Academy won!"
The cheers, rising higher and higher, erupted again after the referee's announcement.
One-vs-Seven Sweep, that's the real One-vs-Seven Sweep!
An absolutely dominant performance!
Especially in the penultimate match, Huo Yuhao and Yu Mengdi clashed with their Soul Skill.
And then there's the Ice Soul Blade Domain that finally ends the match!
It truly thrilled the audience.
The vast majority of the audience members were ordinary people, and it was difficult for them to see the intricacies of the first five matches.
It was just a matter of seconds.
Although very strong.
But it wasn't spectacular enough! It wasn't breathtaking enough!
For them, the fifth match was a fierce clash of Soul Skill, and the final match was a simple yet powerful strike that broke through all defenses.
On the contrary, it is more intuitive.
Strong means big!
Big is good!
Meanwhile, the rest area of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Master Academy was completely silent.
Undeniably, Huo Yuhao, with his Soul Ancestor level, has already brought them tremendous pressure.
Each of them is clearly at least Soul King or Level 5 Soul Engineer.
However, in a one-on-one confrontation with Huo Yuhao, no one can guarantee that they have a sure chance of Huo Yuhao.
Especially his final Self-Created Soul Skill, it seemed to have struck their hearts, severing their pride and silencing countless people.
It's simply a work of art that combines offense and defense!
Moreover, this extreme Ice Attribute is actually incompatible with Huo Yuhao's current Martial Soul.
In other words...
" Twin Martial Souls!!"
Xiao Hongchen frowned, revealing the truth word by word.
This also explains why Huo Yuhao's Soul Ring Configuration is so bizarre.
It's precisely because he has a second Martial Soul that enhances his physical attributes!
The case is solved.
However, this truth seems even harder to accept than before.
A thoughtful look appeared in Ma Rulong's eyes, and then he sighed:
"Although I am reluctant to admit it, this young man named Huo Yuhao is now our Academy's greatest enemy! Such talent and top-tier abilities are exactly what our Sun Moon Empire lacks!"
"Captain, do you mean my talent is inferior to his?"
Xiao Hongchen raised an eyebrow.
Ma Rulong said calmly, "What do you think? This is a twelve-year-old Soul Ancestor, and he is even suspected of Twin Martial Souls."
Furthermore, since he comes from the Shrek Academy, it means his cultivation is primarily self-taught, indicating a deep foundation. Although you broke through to the Soul Ancestor at thirteen, how many cultivation aids did you use during that time? And how much effort did you subsequently expend to solidify your foundation?
"So what?" Xiao Hongchen frowned.
"A deep foundation doesn't necessarily mean great strength. I'm a dual cultivator of Soul Master and Soul Engineer, so in actual combat I'm definitely no worse than him. One-vs-Seven Sweep is something I can do if I grit my teeth!"
Ma Rulong glanced at Xiao Hongchen and said, "You still know how to grit your teeth? Can you achieve Huo Yuhao's performance, or even easily unleash a strike comparable to a Soul Saint?"
"And it doesn't matter if we lose this time, but what about next time? Don't forget the empire's Millennium Plan!"
"I..."
For a moment, even the usually stubborn Xiao Hongchen was speechless.
A solemn look appeared in his eyes.
Even if Huo Yuhao and his sister Meng Hongchen used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to unleash their final attack, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.
Speaking of the Meng Hongchen.
In the past, when Xiao Hongchen and Ma Rulong argued, Meng Hongchen would definitely have spoken up to defend (or mock) her brother.
However, her gaze was fixed on Huo Yuhao, and she didn't notice their conversation at all.
Meng Hongchen: I must lure Huo Yuhao to the Sun Moon Empire!
