Semifinals (Part One)
After Ning Tian and the others had gone far away, Wu Feng could no longer suppress his doubts and asked:
"Young Master, you came all this way to see Huo Yuhao. Is there something special about him?"
Ning Tian didn't directly answer Wu Feng's question, but instead asked, "So, Feng Mei, what do you think of this Huo Yuhao?"
"How about it?"
Wu Feng stroked his smooth chin and pondered:
"His Soul Power Level is high, and his Divine Power is frighteningly high. But young master, you have the Heart Separation Control of your cultivation sect, so you are not afraid of him in terms of Divine Power. In the end, he is just a Spirit System Soul Master, nothing to be afraid of."
To be honest, she didn't have much of a liking for Huo Yuhao. Just now, even though the young master had taken the initiative to greet him, he had ignored her.
Hearing Wu Feng's words, Ning Tian shook his head.
"Feng Mei, your Divine Power isn't high enough to sense just how terrifying Huo Yuhao's Divine Power is. I can sense that his Divine Power is even higher than that of an average Soul King."
Upon hearing Ning Tian's words, Wu Feng was startled. Nanmen Yun'er, standing beside him, gaped in astonishment.
Immediately, Wu Feng retorted stubbornly:
"So what if his Divine Power is high? As long as Young Master uses his Martial Soul to assist me this afternoon, I will definitely be able to defeat him."
"What if he also possesses Twin Martial Souls?"
"Twin Martial Souls?"
"I've heard from other people in his class that he flew without Soul Tool when school started, and he also had a pair of things on his head that looked like dragon horns. He probably has a Beast Martial Soul."
After saying that, Ning Tian added:
"I heard that Ma Xiaotao, one of the current Shrek Seven Devils, is very close to him. Based on speculation, Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul Attribute might be Ultimate Ice, or at the very least, it's close to Ultimate Ice."
"Our family has declined, and we lack a top-tier Martial Soul to protect us. Although the family hasn't yet uncovered Huo Yuhao's background, I want to try and win Huo Yuhao over."
Ning Tian's words darkened Wu Feng's face, but she remained defiant, saying:
"It's just a basic Second Martial Soul; I'm not afraid of him."
She understood Ning Tian's meaning perfectly well. But she just felt uneasy. If Ning Tian really managed to win over Huo Yuhao, those old guys in the family would definitely use all sorts of benefits to tie Huo Yuhao to the sect's ship.
Even a marriage alliance! Just thinking about it made Wu Feng feel as if his heart was being shattered and twisted in agony.
Because the Nine-Colored Goddess Ning Rongrong did not leave any descendants when she ascended to heaven, although the name of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was passed down, Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul was not passed down with her.
This means that even though the family still has two Titled Douluo as it did ten thousand years ago, the development of the times has meant that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is no longer the powerful and influential Upper Three Sects it once was.
She knew all too well what Wu Feng was thinking, her childhood best friend. She could only shake her head helplessly; her position destined her to be unable to respond to Wu Feng.
In the afternoon, after lunch, Huo Yuhao and his two companions returned to the academy's Arena.
After passing through a wide and narrow corridor, the group arrived at a ring in the Arena.
On the opposite side of the arena were Ning Tian and his group, whom they had just met that morning. Upon seeing Huo Yuhao and the other two, Ning Tian still wore a kind and polite smile, but the expressions of the two people beside her were quite different.
Nanmen Yun'er and Ning Tian both showed a friendly smile, while Wu Feng, who had been closely following Ning Tian, looked at Huo Yuhao with a gloomy expression and unfriendly eyes.
The referee on the stage was still Wang Yan, a middle-aged teacher.
At this moment, Wang Yan stood in the center of the arena, staring at Huo Yuhao with some curiosity. He had noticed this blue-haired boy as early as when he first hosted Huo Yuhao's match.
As a theoretically inclined teacher, he was very curious about Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul and Soul Skill. However, when he tried to request information from his superiors, he was refused. He, a high-ranking teacher, was denied access to the new student's materials.
Not only was he rejected, he was even warned by the head of the teaching department Du Weilun, not to try to investigate Huo Yuhao's background.
This means that until now, he only knows that Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul is the Spirit Eyes, his Body Martial Soul, and the three Soul Skill he has revealed. He knows nothing else.
Therefore, taking advantage of this being his last time hosting the Freshman Competition, he wanted to use this opportunity to observe Huo Yuhao carefully.
"Both parties share the same name!"
Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao
Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Nanmen Yun'er
After announcing the start of the match, Wang Yan immediately retreated to the edge of the arena. He was only a Xiao Xiao Soul King at the moment, and it would be incredibly embarrassing if he were to be injured by the little guy in front of him.
As soon as the match started, Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao released their Martial Soul and stood in front of Huo Yuhao.
From the moment they entered the knockout stage, the two of them made a pact with Huo Yuhao to let them take the first blows when they encountered opponents. Otherwise, if every opponent they faced was put to sleep by Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Shock, then the two of them would really be considered freeloaders.
The same was true for the people opposite her. A Seven-Tier Glazed Pagoda appeared in Ning Tian's hand. Three Spirit Ring, two yellow and one purple, floated around her.
"Exquisite Pagoda? This little girl is interesting; she reminds me of someone from the past."
Gazing at Ning Tian holding up the pagoda, Jiang Ziya in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly remembered the Li Jing had become the mount of his magic weapon.
Outside, Ning Tian released his Martial Soul, and the soul incantation he uttered was clear and swift.
"The Seven Treasures Have Names: First: Strength; Second: Speed; Third: Soul."
As soon as the soul incantation was finished, the three Spirit Ring behind Ning Tian flashed simultaneously, and two beams of light enveloped Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er.
Nanmen Yun'er was the first to make a move. Her First Soul Ring flashed, and she suddenly accelerated, attempting to bypass Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao's defenses.
"Clang"
A tremendous roar resounded.
With a flick of her wrist, Xiao Xiao conjured a massive three-legged cauldron, larger than herself, which was none other than Xiao Xiao First Martial Soul, the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. As Xiao Xiao Second Soul Ring flashed, the enormous Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron emitted a deafening hum.
The rapidly approaching Nanmen Yun'er was sent flying backward by the force of Xiao Xiao's cauldron, and it wasn't until Nanmen Yun'er tumbled several times that she managed to dissipate the impact.
This is Xiao Xiao's Second Soul Skill, "The Cauldron Shockwave." Targeting a single target, it can stun and knock them away, and also deals considerable damage.
Seeing that she couldn't get past them, Nanmen Yun'er could only use the speed of her Martial Soul to circle around Xiao Xiao, looking for an opening and trying to eliminate her quickly.
Seeing that Xiao Xiao had already chosen her opponent Wang Dong'er flapped her pink and blue wings and came to Wu Feng, saying provocatively:
"How about I be your opponent?"
Unexpectedly, Wu Feng didn't even glance at Wang Dong'er; her gaze was drawn to Huo Yuhao behind the two of them.
"You dare to be my enemy? Let Huo Yuhao come!"
