Ling Luochen: Don't Let Your Guard Down

He Caitou was quite excited to be a member of the reserve team.

After all, he knew that before this, no Soul Engineer had ever been selected to participate in the competition, not even as a reserve player.

At the Shrek Academy, the Soul Guidance Department has always been suppressed by the Martial Soul Department, and Soul Engineer are not highly regarded in the academy.

At first, he was worried that he would be ostracized as a Soul Engineer.

But after getting to know them, he found that the team members were all very friendly.

Especially Huo Yuhao, the captain who is even younger than him.

He Caitou not only discovered that Huo Yuhao was even more skilled than himself in Soul Tool, but Huo Yuhao also took the initiative to persuade everyone to accept his martial soul, which He Caitou very grateful.

In the blink of an eye, he tossed cigars into the hands of each team member.

Then, led by Huo Yuhao, each of the seven Reserve Team held a cigar in each hand.

They discussed tactics while puffing on cigarettes.

The scene left the Inner Court students in the distance somewhat bewildered, unsure of what they were doing.

What they didn't know was that He Caitou's first two Soul Skills were the Spirit-Boosting Thick Cigar and the Strength-Enhancing Big Cigar.

Using it now will provide enough boost to last until the upcoming friendly match.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, his expression calm.

"Because we don't know the specific Soul Skill of these Inner Court students," his voice came through the smoke, "We'll make a simple tactical plan first, and adjust it as needed."

Everyone nodded and listened attentively.

"I will act as the main Soul Master." Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over everyone. "Bei Bei and Senior San Shi will launch a strong attack from the center, while Senior He will use a remote Soul Tool to attack from the rear, with Xiao Xiao providing support."

He paused, then looked at Wang Dong and Jiang Nannan.

"As for Wang Dong and Senior Nan Nan, they will provide support from both flanks..."

On the other side, the Inner Court students all looked relaxed.

Clearly, there are no concerns about the upcoming friendly match.

He looked as if victory was already in his grasp.

Among the seven selected team members, Ma Xiaotao is the strongest, a level 68 Soul Emperor, not far from becoming Soul Saint.

However, Dai Yueheng was responsible for the tactical arrangements.

Dai Yueheng's arrangement can only be described as conventional, without any special tactics or outstanding strategies.

But its strength lies in its reliability; it can handle any situation.

After Dai Yueheng finished speaking, a man with long hair and effeminate manners spoke up, his fingers curled into a delicate gesture.

His name is Gongyang Mo, Inner Court student, and one of the selected team members this time.

"Yueheng," his voice carried a hint of languor, "Shouldn't we hold back a bit? Let's be a little gentler with these junior students from the Outer Court."

These words were spoken lightly, yet they revealed an undisguised confidence.

Huo Yuhao's talent truly astonished them.

A level 52 Soul King at the age of eleven or twelve—such an achievement is worthy of being recorded in history at any time.

But talent is talent, and ability is ability.

Just as the Outer Court students didn't think they could win, the Inner Court students didn't think they would lose either.

Just then... a clear, cold female voice rang out.

"We still shouldn't let our guard down."

The one who spoke was a long-haired woman with a cool and indifferent expression.

Her name is Ling Luochеn, Inner Court student, and one of the selected team members this time.

"Others may not know," her voice was calm as still water, "But this Huo Yuhao is definitely not simple."

All eyes immediately turned to her.

Dai Yueheng frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know anything?"

Ling Luochеn couldn't help but recall the scene he had witnessed at the academy gate.

She glanced at everyone and slowly said, "His martial soul is the Ultimate Ice Attribute."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions instantly turned solemn.

As Inner Court students of the Shrek Academy, they naturally understood the power of Ultimate Attribute.

That is something that transcends ordinary attributes; it is the capital to challenge opponents of higher levels.

But Ling Luochеn hadn't finished speaking.

She paused, then added.

"Moreover, he has two Soul Rings that are 100,000 years old."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Then, Xi Xi blurted out, "How is that possible?!"

Her voice was filled with disbelief.

She believed that Huo Yuhao's cultivation as Soul King at such a young age was astonishing, but still somewhat acceptable.

But how could she believe that Huo Yuhao possessed two 100,000-year Soul Ring at the Soul King stage?

That's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!

Many Titled Douluo may never obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring in their entire lives!

How can a Soul King possess two?

Even geniuses have their limits, right?

Not just Xi Xi, but everyone else felt the same way at that moment.

Gongyang Mo's delicate fingers froze in mid-air, Chen Zifeng's brows furrowed, and even Yao Haoxuan, who had been calm all along, began to breathe more rapidly.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ma Xiaotao's eyes.

Huo Yuhao suppressed her Evil Fire several times, but she had never actually seen his Soul Ring.

However, recalling the scene where Huo Yuhao Ice Seal her with a single finger, she couldn't help but shudder.

That chill is still unforgettable.

Yan Shaozhe had always wanted to bring Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao together, so he revealed a lot of information about Huo Yuhao to his disciple.

Ma Xiaotao then spoke up, "Huo Yuhao possesses Twin Martial Souls, one of which is Spirit Type, and the other is Ultimate Ice."

Their gazes instantly focused on her, and their pupils involuntarily dilated once again.

They couldn't even remember how many times they had been shocked by Huo Yuhao today.

Twin Martial Souls.

The Ultimate Ice.

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

These fragments, taken together, completely overturned their understanding of the word "genius."

Dai Yueheng's expression became somewhat complicated.

He suddenly felt a headache coming on. His mother had gotten involved with such a genius, and the future outcome probably wouldn't be good.

But faced with this situation, he had absolutely no solution.

He took a deep breath and shook off those chaotic thoughts.

Then, he raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the people around him, his expression more serious than ever before.

"Everyone knows about Huo Yuhao."

"Therefore, no one can underestimate their opponent in this upcoming battle!"

The other students in the Inner Court all became serious.

His previously relaxed expression had completely vanished.

They are ready to show their true abilities.

It would be truly embarrassing if they lost to these students from the Outer Court!

Within about 15 minutes, both sides had finished discussing their tactics.

Under Xuan Zi's arrangement, the two teams stood at opposite ends of the Soul Fighting Arena, about fifty meters apart.

"Start!"

With Xuan Zi's command, the friendly match officially began!

All seven members of both sides instantly activated their Martial Soul Possession!

For a moment, on both sides of the Soul Fighting Arena, various Soul Ring shone brightly!

While discussing countermeasures, each of the Reserve Team from the Outer Court smoked four cigars.

After smoking four cigars, everyone experienced a boost in their Soul Power, strength, defense, and spirit.

Although there was some suspicion of cheating, Xuan Zi did not stop it.

Moreover, it's somewhat unfair to put them up against these senior students from the Inner Court.

This little bit of assistance can at least help make up for the gap.

The moment the match began, Huo Yuhao moved!

He closed his eyes slightly, and his Divine Power surged forth like a tide!

First Soul Skill: Soul Lash!

Third Soul Skill: Spiritual Resonance!

Two powerful Soul Skill activated simultaneously!

Six invisible whips of the spirit lashed precisely into the Spirit Sea of the six teammates in an instant!

In that instant, Bei Bei and the other six felt their entire bodies boil with excitement!

That's not all.

The third Soul Skill, Spiritual Resonance, caused the Divine Power of the six teammates to surge once again.

They felt their bodies brimming with power, their minds clearer than ever before, and every thought sharper than ever before.
