Originally, in the expectations of Elder Xuan and the academy's top brass, the final group should have consisted of the four senior students—Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and He Caitou—along with Huo Yuhao and the Golden Dragon Girl, with the final spot left to be determined.
But what about now?
Everyone on the field was a second-year student, with an average age of less than thirteen.
Except for Huo Yuhao and the Golden Dragon Girl, even if the others had great talent, sending them to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament would be like serving them up on a platter! Five years from now, their opponents would be twenty years old, while they would only be seventeen. Could a three-year gap in cultivation be easily smoothed over by talent alone?
Furthermore, even Bei Bei, the great-grandson of Elder Mu, had been eliminated. How was he supposed to answer to Elder Mu?
Elder Xuan took a swig of wine, his old face flushing red. He coughed twice and said with shameless audacity, "The scene was too chaotic just now; I didn't see clearly. Besides, this kind of free-for-all relies too much on luck and doesn't reflect true ability. Let's do this: the previous assessment is void. I'll give you half an hour to recover your soul power, and then... we start over!"
The entire arena was in an uproar.
This was nothing short of blatant cheating!
Huo Yuhao's gaze turned cold in an instant.
What a fine Deputy Head of the Shrek Inspection Team, what a fine rank 98 Super Douluo—had he completely abandoned all sense of shame?
Since you want to play, I'll play along with you to the end. Huo Yuhao sneered inwardly and turned to look at the six people behind him.
"You've seen the situation. The academy isn't satisfied with us advancing and wants to fish Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and the others back in. When we restart, we will definitely be the primary targets. If anyone wants to quit, you can leave now; I won't blame you."
"Yuhao, what are you saying!" Wang Dong was the first to jump out, her eyes filled with determination. "Since we're going to fight, we fight to the end. I'm definitely standing on your side."
"That's right, Class Monitor, we're listening to you." Xiao Xiao's small face was taut.
The Lan Sisters spoke in unison, "We are with the Class Monitor."
Ning Tian gritted her teeth, glanced at Wu Feng who was warming up in the distance, and finally sighed. "I'll stay. Although I wanted to be with Wu Feng, my reason tells me that following you gives us a better chance of winning."
Huo Yuhao nodded and finally cast his gaze toward the Golden Dragon Girl, who had remained silent all this time.
"What about you? And your name."
The young girl raised her head. In those golden eyes, it was as if molten lava were flowing—noble and wild.
"Jin Nier." She parted her red lips, her voice cold and detached. "I only acknowledge the strong. Here, only you are worthy of being my teammate."
"Good!"
Huo Yuhao's expression was arrogant. "Since everyone trusts me, I'll lead you to win again! This time, I'll make them accept their defeat wholeheartedly!"
"When the battle starts, everyone try to stay close to me; don't stray too far."
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The twenty-six core disciples returned to the stage.
This time, the atmosphere was completely different.
The air was thick with the scent of gunpowder.
Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and He Caitou quickly assembled, recruiting three other powerful senior Soul Ancestors to form the strongest "Avengers Alliance."
The remaining twelve students also huddled together for warmth, eyeing Huo Yuhao's side with hostility.
"Begin!" Elder Xuan gave the order.
Almost at the same time, Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei made the same choice.
"Clear the field first!"
The two strongest teams charged toward the temporary group of twelve with tacit understanding.
Before those twelve could even react, they were met with a devastating blow.
On one side was the thunderous Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and on the other was the overwhelming force of the Golden Dragon Girl.
In less than a minute, all twelve were eliminated!
On the soul fighting arena, only two teams remained once again.
Seven against seven.
On one side was the Dream Team of senior students, all of whom were Soul Ancestors, and on the other was the "Pretty Girl Team" led by Huo Yuhao.
The great battle was about to erupt!
"Caitou, fire suppression!" Bei Bei shouted. Countless dark, heavy cannon barrels instantly emerged from He Caitou's body, and dense soul-guided rays poured down like a rainstorm.
"Small tricks."
Huo Yuhao let out a cold snort. Spiritual Detection Sharing instantly covered everyone; in their field of vision, the trajectories of those rays became clearly visible, as if moving in slow motion.
"Jin Nier, block their three strongest!" Huo Yuhao commanded.
"Leave it to me."
Jin Nier took a step forward, and the ground beneath her feet instantly cracked.
She didn't use any flashy soul skills, simply throwing a punch. The golden shockwave actually forced Xu Sanshi, who was charging at the front, to retreat!
Immediately after, her figure moved like lightning. With her own strength, she actually managed to pin down the three Soul Ancestors: Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan!
Seeing this scene, Elder Xuan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
What kind of monster was this little girl? Her physical strength was terrifying to this extent!
On the other side, Huo Yuhao also moved. He ignored his teammates behind him because he knew that against opponents at the Soul Ancestor level, the current attacks from Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao would not be very effective.
Although the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Lan Sisters, Heavenly Net, was powerful, it could only trap a Soul Ancestor for two or three seconds.
Therefore, he decided to end the battle quickly.
Huo Yuhao's figure flickered, instantly cutting into the enemy's back row.
"Silence!"
Words Become Law!
The three senior Soul Ancestors who were preparing to release their soul skills froze on the spot.
Huo Yuhao took them out one punch at a time, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With three muffled thuds, the three Soul Ancestors flew out like kites with broken strings.
One-hit kills!
"What?!" Bei Bei, who was locked in combat with Jin Nier, was shocked. He had not expected Huo Yuhao to resolve the battle so quickly.
He had intended for the three of them to stall for a moment until they eliminated Jin Nier on this side, then join forces to deal with Huo Yuhao.
However, Huo Yuhao's dominance far exceeded their estimates.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's gaze had already locked onto He Caitou.
"Senior Brother He, will you admit defeat yourself, or shall I send you down?" Huo Yuhao's smile was gentle, yet it made He Caitou's back turn cold.
He was covered in sweat, and the soul tool cannon barrel in his hands was trembling because the pressure Huo Yuhao brought was too intense.
"Forget it, I don't feel like waiting. Soul Shock!"
A golden light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and He Caitou fainted on the spot.
At this time, the only opponents left on the field were Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who were being held back by Jin Nier.
Jiang Nannan still could not escape the Heavenly Net of the Lan Sisters and was defeated by the combined efforts of Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, who had received the boost from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Huo Yuhao and Jin Nier joined forces to quickly resolve the two, and the battle ended.
If the first time was a surprise and they were unprepared, then this time, it was a crushing defeat based on pure strength!
Huo Yuhao, leading a group of teammates with cultivation levels below the third ring, had head-on defeated an elite team composed entirely of Soul Ancestors!
In particular, the dominance displayed by Huo Yuhao and Jin Nier was simply despair-inducing.
On the side of the Soul Fighting Arena, Elder Xuan grabbed his messy hair; the fragrant chicken leg in his hand no longer smelled appetizing.
He looked at the calm-faced youth on the field, and his heart was filled with worry.
"This kid, even if I stuffed him directly into the main squad, he would probably beat those guys like Dai Yueheng until they couldn't find north."
Elder Xuan sighed inwardly; even if they continued to compete, the result would not change.
Unless he threw away his old face and changed the rules to target them directly.
Helpless, Elder Xuan could only glare fiercely at the dejected Bei Bei and the others, cursing in his heart: I gave you a chance, but you were useless!
