Below the stage, Xu Jiujiu, Ye Fan, and the others each had their own thoughts.
On the stage, the Shrek Academy team had long been unable to hold themselves back.
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng charged ahead.
Ma Xiaotao directly unleashed her Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, and terrifying flames instantly swept across the entire arena.
Dai Yueheng transformed into an Evil-Eyed White Tiger, its enormous roar shaking the heavens.
Behind them, Huo Yuhao also unleashed his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul.
Ye Fan, Xu Jiujiu, and the others watched the match with rapt attention.
Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes flickered slightly, and every attack from the opposing side was blocked by that invisible ripple.
"Hmm!"
"What kind of ability is this? Why can it block all attacks like my Star Crown Martial Soul?"
Below the stage, Xu Jiujiu's expression turned solemn as she finally confirmed, "What a Shrek Academy. They have been hiding their strength all along."
"It seems I have always underestimated you."
Beside her, Nebula Douluo narrowed his eyes.
Carefully studying Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes attack, he said, "Miss, the function of his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul is not defense."
"It is transfer."
"Transfer?"
"Grandma Man Yi, what does that mean?"
After hearing Nebula Douluo's explanation, Xu Jiujiu looked even more confused.
Nebula Douluo showed a look of amazement and said gravely, "During the intervals when Huo Yuhao activated his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, I sensed spatial fluctuations around him."
"Then all of the enemy's attacks disappeared along with those fluctuations."
"Although I still cannot determine the full extent of his ability, I can confirm that he has mastered the spatial power of some kind of transfer Soul Skill."
"Spatial power?"
"Interesting!"
"Huo Yuhao, then I hope you make it to the end. Let me see whether your Spirit Eyes Martial Soul is stronger, or my Star Crown Martial Soul is stronger."
Hearing that, Xu Jiujiu repeated the term to herself, and the fighting spirit in her heart rose uncontrollably.
On the other side, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Ma Rulong, Ye Fan, and the rest of Ye Fan's team also wore solemn expressions.
"Brother, Xiao Fan, Ma Rulong, did you see how Huo Yuhao blocked their attacks?"
Xiao Hongchen and Ma Rulong both shook their heads slightly. "No idea."
"That kid's Spirit Eyes Martial Soul is too strange."
"What about you, Xiao Fan?"
Still unwilling to give up, Meng Hongchen asked Ye Fan.
At that moment, Ye Fan was communicating with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, and the Ice Bear King.
Through the mental power of those fierce beasts, Ye Fan learned that Huo Yuhao had used spatial power.
"Divine Might?"
The name surfaced in Ye Fan's mind without him realizing it.
It could transfer all objects and Soul Skills in the real world.
"Xiao Fan!"
Seeing Ye Fan lost in thought, Meng Hongchen asked again, unwilling to let it go.
Meng Hongchen finally snapped Ye Fan out of it. "Sister Meng Meng, I was just asking the Ice Empress and the others."
"They told me that what Huo Yuhao used is called Spatial Transfer, a Soul Skill that can transfer anything."
"What?"
As soon as those words came out, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Ma Rulong, and the others were all shocked.
"Spatial Transfer!"
"How are we supposed to fight that?"
"That Shrek Academy is truly devious. Not only have they been hiding their strength and directly deployed two Soul Emperor powerhouses, but even Huo Yuhao has been concealing his own abilities."
"How hateful."
Meng Hongchen's disgust for Shrek Academy deepened even further.
"Yeah, Huo Yuhao's ability is too absurd. If we cannot find a way to counter him, there is no need for us to participate in the Continental Soul Master Tournament."
"We might as well hand them the championship."
It was Lin Xi who spoke, yet Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Ma Rulong, and the others did not object.
Seeing everyone lose confidence, Ye Fan
said leisurely, "Everyone, don't panic. As far as I know, his Soul Skill is not unbeatable."
"Oh? Xiao Fan, what is the solution? Hurry up and tell us."
"You're driving me crazy with suspense."
As she spoke, Meng Hongchen had already hooked her arm around Ye Fan's.
In response, Ye Fan could only speak to them in a very low voice:
"First, this kind of Spatial Transfer Soul Skill consumes an enormous amount of Soul Power."
"We can attack in waves and wear down their Soul Power."
"Second, as long as we..."
Ye Fan finished speaking.
Everyone stared at Ye Fan as if he were a monster. "It is that simple?"
"It is that simple."
After Ye Fan repeated himself, everyone finally believed him and regained their confidence against Shrek Academy.
At the venue, besides Xu Jiujiu, Ye Fan, and the others, there were also countless spectators watching the match.
They too were astonished by Shrek Academy.
But unfortunately, Shrek Academy did not receive a thunderous round of applause.
As Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng slaughtered their way through the opposition,
they instead drew a flood of curses. "Damn it, Shrek Academy and the betting house are in cahoots! They cheated us out of our Gold Soul Coins!"
"Shrek Academy, give us our money back!"
"Shrek Academy, give back our hard-earned money!"
This made Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng fight with even more fury.
In the end, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng swept through the field as though no one could stop them, beating the seven members of Heavenly Soul Royal Academy until they could no longer care for themselves.
Heavenly Soul Royal Academy was defeated in the team battle, and no one from Heavenly Soul Royal Academy could take the field for the individual matches.
Shrek Academy advanced into the top eight.
"Shrek Academy must win!"
Amid the crowd, a scattering of spectators cheered for Shrek Academy.
Most of the spectators cursed Shrek Academy instead. "Damn Shrek Academy."
"Shrek Academy, give back our hard-earned money!"
"Shrek Academy, get out of the Xingluo Empire!"
In the end, although the Shrek Academy team had displayed Shrek Academy's brilliance, they left the arena with angry faces.
After the match ended, Ye Fan and the others went to the betting window to collect their Gold Soul Coins from their victory.
"Miss, you wagered five million Gold Soul Coins on Shrek Academy's victory. At odds of one to five, you have earned a total of twenty-five million Gold Soul Coins. Please present your Gold Soul Coin card, and I will transfer the funds immediately."
Upon hearing that, Meng Hongchen happily took a black Gold Soul Coin card out of her Soul Tool.
"Ding! Twenty-five million Gold Soul Coins received!"
Seeing the number displayed on the card reader and hearing its notification, Meng Hongchen grinned from ear to ear.
"Wow, twenty-five million Gold Soul Coins! We are rich!"
At the same time, Meng Hongchen did not forget to ambush Ye Fan, planting a loud kiss on his cheek.
"Xiao Fan, Sister loves you to death."
Ye Fan and Xiao Hongchen had also won their bets.
They likewise collected twenty-five million Gold Soul Coins from the betting window.
As for Ma Rulong, Lin Xi, Mijia, and the others, because they had not listened to Ye Fan's advice, they regretted it so badly their intestines practically turned green.
Of course, Xu Jiujiu was just as unlucky as they were, and she was waiting outside the betting window.
The moment Ye Fan and the others came out,
Xu Jiujiu blocked Ye Fan's path. "Ye Fan, tell your sister, did you know all along that Shrek Academy had been hiding its strength?"
"Xu Jiujiu, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand you?"
Ye Fan put on an innocent expression.
Xu Jiujiu was furious inside, but she still pretended otherwise. "Oh, is that so? Then remember to attend tomorrow's auction."
Afterward, Xu Jiujiu gave Ye Fan a meaningful look, then turned and left with Nebula Douluo.
"This woman is really not simple. She connected the dots so quickly and guessed that I might know something?"
"Still staring? She has already gone far away. Do you want to stay behind and become her consort?"
As she spoke, Meng Hongchen viciously pinched Ye Fan, who was still lost in thought.
