Besides Meng Hongchen's gaze, Huo Yuhao also felt another gaze fixed on him.

Looking in that direction, you could see Princess Xu Jiujiu standing next to Xu Jiawei.

After losing to Huo Yuhao, the princess clearly showed great interest in Huo Yuhao.

Her brother, Xu Jiawei, had also participated in the previous battle with Shrek Academy and provided assistance with Soul Tool.

They actually wanted to use that team Team Battle to tell Shrek a lesson.

Times have changed!

Blindly pursuing a powerful Martial Soul is outdated. The only correct path now is to combine Soul Master with Soul Tool.

This approach was fully demonstrated in this year's Soul Master Tournament.

Only a small group of die-hards, led by Shrek Academy, still adhere to the traditions of Soul Master, believing that the ancestral laws cannot be changed.

However, the Team Battle was lost.

Xu Jiawei's initial goal was also achieved.

In preparation for the upcoming finals, Shrek made an unprecedented move by contacting the Starlight Auction and purchasing some Invincible Barrier and Milk Bottle Soul Tool.

Xu Jiawei was very pleased with this.

Xu Jiujiu, he still had some complaints.

In the history of the Star Crown Sect, this was the first time that the Star Crown Martial Soul's Star's Protection had been broken instantly by brute force.

Most importantly, the opponent was only a Soul Ancestor.

It was truly awe-inspiring for Xu Jiujiu, even for a whole year.

Although Huo Yuhao possesses the Ultimate Ice, Twin Martial Souls, and at least a 70,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone...

It seems reasonable that they possess such strong physical abilities.

Yeah, right.

This is nothing like Soul Master!

This completely shattered my Xu Jiujiu -held beliefs!

In short, she was very curious.

If Huo Yuhao knew the answer to Xu Jiujiu's question, he would simply say, "Nothing more than practice makes perfect."

With the assistance of several Strength Gu Insect, Huo Yuhao now has extremely strong control over his body, allowing him to mobilize his full strength at will and make one unit of force have ten times the effect.

It can be said that it focuses on one point and reaches the pinnacle.

Even without using Gu Insect, relying solely on the Ice Soul Body Martial Soul, combined with the Ice Empress's Claws, is enough to overcome all techniques with sheer force and easily break through the Star's Protection.

If we say that the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul is one of the top-tier Body Martial Soul.

Therefore, the Ice Soul Body is God-level Martial Soul among the Body Martial Soul, far surpassing top-tier original Martial Soul like Du Busi.

This is the Body Divine Power; you wouldn't understand it if you didn't have Body Martial Soul!

Of course, Huo Yuhao was very talented and also had the help of Gu Insect.

However, his ability to reach this level today is absolutely inseparable from his tireless and diligent practice day and night, as well as his relentless pursuit of tasks.

Success depends on 1% talent and 99% effort.

With the most important talent as a prerequisite, all the hard work will not be in vain and will eventually become Huo Yuhao's solid foundation.

Especially with the occasional help of Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Evil Fire, his progress in physical fitness, Ice-Fire Body Tempering, far surpasses his progress in Soul Power cultivation.

Even Huo Yuhao himself felt that way.

Ma Xiaotao and Evil Fire seem to be doing it a bit too frequently.

Why does this Evil Fire seem to grow stronger the more it's suppressed?

But this was a good thing for both of them, so Huo Yuhao didn't say anything.

A middle-aged man was standing next to Xu Jiawei.

Golden armor, well-proportioned features, and distinctive Double Pupil.

It was none other than Duke White Tiger, Dai Hao.

He's currently just Soul Douluo, unable to even withstand Huo Yuhao's Soul Shockwave.

However, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor.

With Huo Yuhao, this little butterfly, flapping its wings.

He wouldn't specifically investigate some of the plot points in the Original Work.

Huo Yuhao wasn't some kind of devil.

Of course, he always remembered Huo Yun'er's grudge. The Duchess was doomed; even the Sea God couldn't save her.

As for Dai Hao, although Huo Yuhao felt that such a scumbag deserved to die, he had still done a good job of resisting the Sun Moon, so he should live on with repentance.

And sometimes.

For some, death is a fulfillment and a release.

Seeing that all the teams for the finals were in place, Xu Jiawei nodded to Dai Hao.

Dai Hao said in a deep voice, "Silence. The competition is about to begin. Please allow His Majesty to speak."

Xu Jiawei smiled and said:

"The last time I witnessed the final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament in Star Luo City was twenty years ago. At that time, both I and my brother Dai Hao were just young men."

Twenty years have passed. Today, I am the ruler of a nation, and my esteemed brother Dai Hao has become the imperial commander. We are about to witness once again the duel between the strongest young people on the continent!

The winner of this final will receive three Spirit Bone and a reward of one million Gold Soul Coin. I have already carefully selected ten Spirit Bone from our national treasury for the final champion to choose from.

I originally intended to have my brother Dai Hao personally officiate today's match, but unfortunately, one of the Shrek Academy's main players is his eldest son. To avoid any appearance of impropriety, the referee for this match will still be the Heavenly Fiend Douluo.

"Alright, that's enough. Now, please join me in watching this duel that will surely be recorded in history."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Heavenly Fiend Douluo appeared in the center of the arena.

"I, Huang Jinxu, will be the referee for the final round of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament. Now, I will announce the rules of the final round..."

"Both sides prepare. In one minute, the players participating in the Team Battle will enter the arena."

At the same time, a Slovenly Elder with a chicken leg in his left hand and Wine Gourd in his right appeared silently in the rest area of the Shrek Academy.

" Xuan Zi, you've arrived."

Wang Yan said with delight.

Xuan Zi picked up a chicken leg, took a bite, chewed it, and said, "Go ahead and do whatever you want, just pretend I'm not here. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to do anything underhanded."

Without a doubt, Xuan Zi came to support Shrek Academy.

At this point, he picked up his Wine Gourd, took a sip, and continued, "As for Soul Tool, use them when necessary. I am not a pedantic person. The Academy will gradually promote the use of Soul Tool in the Martial Soul Department in the future, so there is no need to feel guilty."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be good if the Academy could realize the importance of Soul Tool.

As the team leader, one of his tasks is to report on the progress of this year's competition in a timely manner, as well as to gather information from other Academy.

Wang Yan also gave a detailed description of the extremely high usage rate of Soul Tool in this Soul Master Tournament, and wrote about it at length.

In retrospect, the Academy's higher-ups may have already realized the importance of Soul Tool.

The appearance of Xuan Zi was made without any attempt to conceal it.

Whether it was the Titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire led by Xu Jiawei on the city walls of the Imperial City, or the many powerful figures watching from the shadows, they couldn't help but be shocked.

Taotie Douluo!

Especially Elder Ma, the team leader of the Sun Moon Team, was utterly shocked.

As Shrek Academy was a key target of the Sun Moon Empire's investigation, he knew very well just how strong Xuan Zi was.

This Xuan Zi was over two hundred years old and his cultivation level had reached Level 98. He was the strongest person they knew of in the Shrek Academy during their investigation.

However, everything about the Sea God Pavilion within the Shrek Academy was too secretive, and this was all they had investigated. Even the information about Xuan Zi's Soul Power Level was obtained through other means.

Fortunately, he had already safely returned the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo to the Mingde Hall, so there shouldn't be any unexpected changes along the way.

A minute passes in the blink of an eye.

Wang Yan stood up, his dark eyes sweeping over the Shrek Academy members once more, and said in a deep voice, "Everything is proceeding according to plan. Shrek will win!"

Shrek will win!

Wang Yan looked at Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng and nodded to them.

The two nodded in understanding.

The key to this match naturally lies with them.

Especially for Ma Xiaotao, it's best not to use her Martial Soul Avatar unless absolutely necessary.

Although once the Martial Soul Avatar is used, it allows unlimited use of Soul Skill below the seventh ring for thirty minutes, and the power will be greatly increased, along with a huge boost to attributes.

However, after using the Martial Soul Avatar, the Soul Master will enter a period of weakness, with their attributes reduced by 50%, and it will take at least seven days to recover.

As for Huo Yuhao, he is the key to executing the plan.

Although Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Position had already been revealed, the Sun Moon faction was definitely prepared for this Soul Skill.

But it doesn't matter.

Huo Yuhao proposed that with his assistance, no matter what preparations the other side made, it would be futile!

Wang Yan naturally believed it.

If everything goes well, that would be wonderful.

If this plan fails, there will naturally be a backup plan.

Battles between Soul Master are ever-changing, and the Shrek Academy members must adapt to the situation and make the best of a situation.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao shoulders a heavy responsibility, and the overall commander of this Team Battle falls on his shoulders, while the deputy commander is the main controller Ling Luochеn.

" Team Battle."

The Heavenly Fiend Douluo meticulously calculated the time, not extending it by even a second.

As soon as he finished speaking, the seven Shrek members stepped onto the competition stage.

The opposing Sun Moon Team was led by captain Ma Rulong, followed closely by the Hongchen Siblings, and then by four Starting Member: Mijia, Xiao Xiafeng, Chen Fei, and Lin Xi, all of whom were Level 5 Soul Engineer.

Speaking of which, the unlucky guy who was burned to ashes by Ma Xiaotao in the Original Work was this Lin Xi.

However, this was not Ma Xiaotao's intentional killing. Rather, Lin Xi wanted to use two layers of shields to restrict Ma Xiaotao, which caused the Evil Fire to accumulate and the temperature to rise sharply. In the end, the Evil Fire broke through the shields, Lin Xi was killed.

Blindly believing in Soul Tool is also not advisable.

At this moment, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, the two sides faced off.

Ma Xiaotao narrowed her eyes, her gaze intense, and Soul Saint- level aura emanated from her.

Having learned her lesson, she won't act impulsively like she did in the last Team Battle.

Ma Rulong took a deep breath, his gaze becoming serious. After withstanding the pressure from the Soul Saint, his eyes fell on Huo Yuhao, who was standing next to Ma Xiaotao.

His mission this time was to hold off Soul Saint Ma Xiaotao, but Ma Rulong felt that the biggest threat to the Shrek team was this kid whose cultivation level was only Soul Ancestor.

Although he did not feel any pressure from the other party.

In particular, after noticing Ma Rulong's attention, Huo Yuhao gave him a slight smile to show his friendliness.

This made Ma Rulong feel very uneasy.

The fear of the unknown!

Terrifying!

Even with the Level 8 Soul Tool, the Sword of Judgment, in his hand, Ma Rulong still lacked confidence.

What kind of trump cards is this little Soul Ancestor hiding?

Never mind, with the Hongchen Siblings helping out.

Huo Yuhao probably can't cause any big trouble, right?

Let's think about how to stall this Phoenix Soul Saint first.

"Both sides step back, and the match is about to begin. The match ends when one side has no one left to fight."

Both sides gradually retreated.

Because it was his first appearance in this competition, even the usually proud Xiao Hongchen seemed quite nervous.

However, at this point, he had begun to show signs of excitement.

This is what makes a competitive player: the more nervous they are, the stronger their fighting spirit becomes.

As for Meng Hongchen, she had been keeping a close eye on Huo Yuhao, her mind completely focused on him.

Meng Hongchen had only one thought in her mind: this was her first battle with Huo Yuhao, and she had to do her best; that was the best way to show respect.

Gradually, both teams approached the edge of the playing area.

The formation of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Master Academy was very typical, with Captain Ma Rulong in front and the others following behind, forming a triangle.

On the Shrek Academy's side, the formation was fine, but the positioning was very strange. Xu Sanshi was in the lead, with Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao standing behind him.

Ling Luochеn and Tang Ya stood behind the three, followed by Wang Dong'er and He Caitou.

A defensive Soul Master leading the way—this is so unlike Shrek!

Although the audience was somewhat confused.

But the members of the Sun Moon Team had already guessed Shrek's intentions.

Hmph, trying to use Xu Sanshi's Darknether Displacement to trade one for one?

That's quite a dream.

In response to Xu Sanshi, all seven members of the Sun Moon Sect were equipped with targeted Soul Tool to ensure absolute safety.

The seven Shrek students were unconcerned by the confident demeanor of their opponents.

believe!

Huo Yuhao will make a move!

At this moment, Shrek's team configuration consists of three strong attackers, two controllers, one defender, and one Soul Engineer who can act as a support.

Originally, in Wang Yan's troop deployment...

Wang Dong'er's position was actually reserved for Jiang Nannan.

After all, Xu Sanshi had confidently assured him that as long as he could activate the Black Tortoise Awakening, it would definitely be a powerful shield for the team!

Moreover, adding an Agility-Assault System to the team is actually quite reasonable.

But Huo Yuhao ultimately rejected it.

Sending Agility-Assault System Soul Master into battle is just suicide, isn't it?

Where is there any logic to an assassin confronting another head-on?

Times have changed!

It's not like the old days when you could quickly get close to the backline and cut off the support.

Facing a team of Level 5 Soul Engineer, each with Invincible Barrier, the Agility-Assault System Soul Master have virtually no chance to make a difference.

The seven Shrek members all had cigars in their mouths, exuding an air of dominance.

Especially Xu Sanshi, who is ranked first.

Arrogant and disdainful of everyone.

Their purpose is quite obvious.

A perfectly legitimate and aboveboard scheme!

The Sun Moon are also things we must be wary of.

Once the Darknether Displacement Soul Skill takes effect, it becomes extremely powerful.

Once Xu Sanshi completes the substitution, no matter who he sends away or who he swaps with from his own side, it won't be a good thing for the Sun Moon Team.

Both sides were highly focused.

The two teams faced each other from a distance, and a tense atmosphere spread from the competition area.

With a loud shout from Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, "The match begins!"

The first battle to determine the ultimate champion has begun.

Both sides released their Martial Soul, and the Sun Moon Team also released their Soul Tool at the same time.

Shrek maintained their previous formation, with Xu Sanshi leading the charge.

The Sun Moon Team's formation instantly changed, and after lining up in a row, Lin Xi was replaced by the person standing at the front.

Lin Xi immediately released a shield-shaped Soul Tool, which spread out a light shield with a diameter of two meters to protect the rest of the Sun Moon Team.

The Darknether Displacement skill is not invincible.

Until, Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly lit up with golden light, and a strong mental fluctuation swept out.

Accompanied by a flash of black light from Xu Sanshi.

Unbelievably, Ma Rulong suddenly appeared in Shrek's encirclement, drawing his sword and looking around in bewilderment.

Dude, are you cheating?
