Huo Yuhao at this moment.
It was even more dazzling than the sun high in the sky.
All seven members of the Dou Ling Academy lost their will to fight and showed no intention of resisting.
This was not only because their Soul Power was mostly exhausted, but also because the Thunderbolt Great Cannon had disappeared into thin air.
Their prized trump cards were utterly vulnerable in front of Huo Yuhao; they couldn't even fathom Huo Yuhao's methods.
No one could accept this established fact.
Just as the Phoenix Meteor Shower was about to wipe them out.
Referee Cheng Gang intervened promptly.
No wonder they let this Titled Douluo take over Shrek's subsequent matches; his terrifying Soul Skill alone would be difficult even for ordinary Soul Saint to withstand.
There was no time to marvel at Huo Yuhao's power; Cheng Gang vanished in a flash.
He appeared before the seven Dou Ling members, his dark brown Soul Power erupting, nine Spirit Ring rising, and a massive Ant Emperor's radiant image appearing.
Boom boom boom!
The blazing Fire Meteor kept crashing into the dark carapace of the Ant Emperor Martial Soul, creating a violent roar.
As Titled Douluo powerhouse, Cheng Gang easily withstood the attack, while the dissipating flames scattered and landed on the Soul Tool Protective Barrier.
The burning flames struck the protective shield, instantly causing large ripples and tremors, making the eyelids of the audience sitting in the front row twitch.
Of course, many viewers felt a surge of empathy and excitement.
Another one against seven!
Wonderful!!
As expected of Huo Yuhao!
They pulled off a major stunt as soon as they came on stage.
As for Soul Emperor Dai Yueheng?
It has long been forgotten by everyone in some corner.
If you're not familiar with them, don't get involved.
"This is Shrek unleashing its full power. The Dou Ling Team is also quite good, but unfortunately, they were unlucky and encountered the wrong opponent."
This is how His Majesty the Star Luo Emperor commented.
Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Master Team.
Xiao Hongchen looked grave. Standing beside Ma Rulong, he whispered, "Captain, did you figure it out?"
Ma Rulong nodded slightly, "It should be the use of Storage Soul Tool. I just don't know how Huo Yuhao managed to erase the Spiritual Power of the other Soul Master on the Thunderbolt Great Cannon in such a short time and store it instantly."
Upon hearing this, some trainees stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They certainly knew about Storage Soul Tool.
But before that, no one had ever thought that there was such a use?
It was truly an eye-opening experience.
"It must be because of that Spirit Eyes Martial Soul." Xiao Hongchen frowned. "Moreover, besides the Imprint Soul Skill of that Fourth Spirit Ring, Huo Yuhao also has Teleportation Soul Skill, which seems to be his Third Soul Ring."
These past few days, the Sun Moon Clan haven't been idle either.
Following the clues, they managed to find the source of Huo Yuhao's Fourth Soul Skill, which turned out to be the extinct Silver Brilliant Beast.
While marveling at Shrek's profound heritage, they also realized that Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes Martial Soul was of exceptional quality!
In addition, there are now Space Soul Skill.
This once again profoundly confirms this fact.
"That's why the Empire's higher-ups have always wanted your Soul Tool and Martial Soul to develop in tandem. Soul Tool are powerful, but the methods of Martial Soul are by no means weak!"
Elder Zhao turned to look at the young people and said earnestly.
He was another team leader from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Master Academy. As for Elder Ma, Ma Rulong's grandfather, he had already left quietly yesterday through a secret passage because he was escorting Spirit Beast Embryo.
Sun Moon Royal Academy and Shrek Academy are like two sides of the same coin, so similar.
As the Continent's Foremost Soul Tool Master Academy, they are considered the strongest in this field. They are also devoted to the research of Soul Tool, and rarely delve into the cultivation of Martial Soul.
This has led to the current situation where drug use is prevalent among Soul Master in the Sun Moon Empire.
Of course, this is also related to their individual physical condition.
Elder Zhao sighed and continued, "After this Soul Master Tournament, the Academy will once again apply to Shrek for an exchange program, and this time the chances of success are very high. I hope you can seize this hard-won opportunity, broaden your horizons, increase your knowledge, and learn Shrek's Martial Soul cultivation methods."
Some trainees looked at each other, then nodded in agreement, lowering their proud heads.
Xiao Hongchen was also somewhat tempted.
Meng Hongchen quickly snapped out of her fangirl mode and was the first to raise her hand, "Me, me, me! I'll be the first to sign up!"
She absolutely had to secure one of the spots for this exchange program, even if it was just to get closer to Huo Yuhao; she couldn't afford to miss it.
Ma Rulong then turned to look at Hongchen Siblings, and said seriously, "Xiao, Meng, your talents far surpass mine. Whether in terms of Martial Soul or Soul Tool, you are unparalleled in our empire."
We must seize this opportunity for exchange and achieve something in the field of Martial Soul, for the sake of the Empire, for the Mingde Hall, and for our Academy.
Ma Rulong was fully aware of his Martial Soul talent, and he was already deeply entrenched in the path of Soul Tool, with no turning back.
But the Hongchen Siblings are different.
The two of them were like the ultimate safety net drawn by the Sun Moon Empire, directly disrupting the empire's unprecedented situation in a thousand years.
This is why everyone is so confident about the next Soul Master Tournament.
In this year's Soul Master Tournament, they never intended to defeat Shrek Academy.
It was only after seeing Shrek's personnel configuration that such a thought arose.
However, Shrek produced a prodigy, Huo Yuhao, who reached the pinnacle of Martial Soul mastery.
With only the strength of Soul Ancestor, he has forged his own path. His personal strength is extremely abnormal, and he is also a Twin Martial Souls possessor with immense potential.
Fortunately, he didn't seem to be very proficient with Soul Tool.
Only someone like that could come up with such an ingenious and brilliant combat method as the Storage Soul Tool Strategy.
Hongchen Siblings were stunned for a moment, then their gazes gradually hardened.
"Yes, we will."
Before Shrek left.
The team leader from the Dou Ling Academy even came to negotiate, his attitude extremely humble, hoping that Huo Yuhao could return the Thunderbolt Great Cannon to them.
Huo Yuhao did not deliberately make things difficult for the teacher.
After all, this is a serious competition, and Shrek is a legitimate Academy. Stealing someone's belongings and not returning them is really going too far.
He stated that, for the sake of a smooth qualifying round and considering the overall situation, the item could only be returned after the individual matches the day after tomorrow.
Huo Yuhao: The power of the Thunderbolt Great Cannon is too strong. We cannot let it run rampant. We must keep a close watch on it!
Team Leader of the Fighting Spirits:?
He genuinely believed that even if Huo Yuhao relied on that Soul Skill to go head-to-head with the Thunderbolt Great Cannon, they would definitely lose.
This is outrageous! They've gone too far!
If it weren't for the fact that forfeiting early would be a loss of face for the empire, he would have simply conceded defeat.
Thankfully, it was eventually returned.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
This is the foundational power that the empire painstakingly borrowed from the Sun Moon.
Even in the current Dou Ling Empire, there is only one stable trial version.
If he loses it, he can forget about aiming for the next competition; committing seppuku and atoning for his sins would be the easiest outcome.
Back in the hotel conference room, Huo Yuhao released the Thunderbolt Great Cannon and placed it on the conference table.
At this moment, the energy of the Thunderbolt Great Cannon was still slowly dissipating.
This Level 7 Soul Tool will allow its internal energy to decay on its own after the source of Soul Power is cut off, so it is very safe.
This was, of course, determined in advance by Huo Yuhao's powerful Spiritual Power.
Otherwise, if we put this thing into the Soul Tool Storage Ring, what if the Dou Ling Team isn't skilled enough and it explodes?
Fortunately, there are still capable people on Douling's side.
Although it's a bit rough around the edges, the cannon's overall integrity is quite good.
This is an evaluation from Huo Yuhao, a Level 3 Soul Engineer.
Although he promised to return it, he didn't say he wouldn't study it.
He Caitou, in particular, practically clung to Huo Yuhao.
Originally intending to have a friendly exchange (so as not to leave empty-handed), Huo Yuhao even planned to use his Martial Soul advantage to create a structural design blueprint for the Thunderbolt Great Cannon.
After all, it is a precious war Soul Tool, so it is still worth learning a thing or two about it.
He hadn't forgotten that the next plot point was the exchange Academy, so doing this was a way of preparing for the upcoming lesson.
But since someone volunteered, we naturally couldn't let them go.
So, together with He Caitou, the two of them focused intently on dismantling the giant creature, much to the astonishment of the Shrek members.
In no time, the giant cannon was transformed into a table full of parts.
Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but ask, " Yuhao, aren't you from our Martial Soul Department? How come you're so skilled at using Soul Tool?"
While everyone was shocked, they were also very curious.
Huo Yuhao nodded. "I know a little bit about it."
He Caitou didn't undermine him either.
Wang Yan sighed, " Yuhao is far too modest. His expertise in Soul Tool is definitely not low, as can be seen from his skillful movements."
Xiao Xiao secretly nudged Wang Dong'er beside her, her eyes conveying: Why don't you take advantage of such a good opportunity together?
Xiao Xiao remembered that Wang Dong'er had also studied Soul Tool with Yuhao for a semester at the Soul Tool Department.
Wang Dong'er shrugged. "She doesn't know anything about these things. She doesn't know anything at all."
Taking this opportunity, Wang Yan also explained the importance of Soul Tool.
He had already discussed this topic with his students.
But today was the first time he had talked about this with the Academy of the Inner Court, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
But Wang Yan's tone was very firm:
" Dou Ling Academy is not an isolated case. According to my observation, more than half of the Academy in this competition are equipped with Soul Tool to assist themselves. In the Round Robin stage, the coverage rate of Soul Tool even reached a terrifying 80%..."
After using real-world examples to illustrate his point, Wang Yan earnestly:
"Actually, we don't need to reject Soul Tool. The future Soul Master will definitely be those who combine Soul Tool with Soul Master. Although Soul Tool are external objects, they can better fill the weaknesses of Soul Master."
Seeing the group deep in thought, Wang Yan took a deep breath and added fuel to the fire:
"I know you might still be resistant. Well then, let me say a few more words. Have you considered what would have happened if the Starting Member had been equipped with Defensive Soul Tool during the last hunt for the Death God's Emissary?"
Wang Yan said decisively, "I think Xiaotao's example has already proven this point well. If she had the help of Soul Tool, she would never have ended up getting injured, which led to the competition turning into what it is now. If it weren't for Yuhao, I can hardly imagine how difficult this competition would have been."
Perhaps it was the sense of urgency of this competition, perhaps it was the threat posed by the Thunderbolt Great Cannon tactic, or perhaps it was because Ma Xiaotao had survived the Corpse Explosion unscathed thanks to her protective Soul Tool.
Although the students were extremely shocked by Wang Yan's unorthodox ideas, they did not refute them.
The main point is to provide a strong contrast with Dai Yueheng.
And then there's Huo Yuhao's personal testimony at this moment.
As for the seven Reserve Team players.
Needless to say, Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao had already been exposed to it from a young age.
Tang Ya and Beibei were the same; in order to revitalize the Tang Sect Hidden Weapon, they both held the idea of humbly accepting new ideas regarding their Soul Tool.
He Caitou, of course, needs no further explanation.
Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan, who had never been influenced by the traditional Soul Master concepts of the Inner Court, had clear eyes. They were also shocked by Wang Yan's statement, but they quickly accepted it.
Xu Sanshi nodded and asked, "Teacher Wang, I have another question to ask you. With our talent in Martial Soul, it's impossible for us to use all our Soul Skill to add Soul Power like those Soul Engineer. Wouldn't that mean we'll always be behind Soul Engineer?"
Wang Yan nodded approvingly. "Good question, I understand your concerns. That's right, if you only pursue Soul Tool, then those who start with the Soul Master cultivation method will basically have no chance of catching up with Soul Engineer. But don't forget your advantages!"
Powerful Soul Skill are in no way inferior to Soul Tool, and the physical abilities of Soul Engineer can never match those of Soul Master. All you need to do is coordinate with Soul Tool. What makes humans human is their ability to use and create.
Remember, Soul Tool are just your weapons; your true essence is your Martial Soul! Especially in the later stages, we have an additional advantage: to use Level 10 Soul Tool, or even to become Level 10 Soul Tool Master, you need the cultivation level of Super Douluo, which is level 95 or above.
On the mainland, how many pure Soul Engineer can cultivate to the level of Titled Douluo? Definitely no more than a handful, and none of them can become Super Douluo. This is one of the reasons why the Sun Moon Empire has never produced Level 10 Soul Tool Master.
Therefore, the development trend of the top experts on the mainland will inevitably be to focus on cultivating Soul Master abilities while also cultivating Soul Tool, just like what Yuhao did.
In closing, Wang Yan specifically mentioned Huo Yuhao to strengthen the persuasiveness of his argument.
A look of realization dawned on everyone's eyes.
Wang Yan's words were like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds, a wake-up call for those who were lost in a dream.
Wang Yan's eyes shone with confidence. "These past few days, I've also been observing the fighting styles of other Academy. I've found that the more profound the Academy's foundation, the more it pursues the fusion between Soul Master and Soul Tool."
What I saw most at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Master Academy was that almost every one of their Reserve Team possessed a remarkable Martial Soul. It was clear that their ideas coincided with mine.
The future development trend of the continent will be to prioritize the cultivation of Soul Master themselves, ensuring their own advancement to become Soul Grandmaster before utilizing powerful Soul Tool.
Huo Yuhao studied the giant cannon while summarizing his findings.
To be fair, that makes a lot of sense.
If Huo Yuhao hadn't been in the Original Work, it would have been a humiliating defeat.
After losing to Qianling and then to Zhengtian, even if they manage to qualify by sheer luck, they will absolutely not be able to defeat the Dou Ling Team, which possesses the Thunderbolt Great Cannon as a trump card.
They couldn't even make it to the finals to face the Sun Moon Royal Academy.
They've lost all sense of shame!
Let's be practical and first understand the concept of Soul Tool!
