The round-robin tournament had not yet matched them against any overly powerful opponents, and Shrek, the Tang Sect, the Sun Moon Team, and the Holy Spirit Team had all secured first-round victories with overwhelming advantages.
Time quickly arrived at the second afternoon, for the matches of Group Four.
"Match one of Group Four, the Dragon Tiger Sect versus the Mingdu Soul Engineer Academy."
"For the first individual elimination match, please have both participating competitors enter the arena."
The referee was a Soul Saint. Once he finished his routine announcement, Huo Yuhao and a handsome young man from the Mingdu Soul Engineer Academy walked out of the rest area at the same time.
Before leaving, a voice suddenly called out to him.
"Hey, wait up."
"Cap... Captain, what is it?" the young man turned around and asked.
The one called captain was a short young man with refined features and fair skin. He extended a single fist and said in a threatening tone, "I've heard people talk about that guy's previous matches; he's freakishly weird."
"If you get beaten down off the stage without even forcing him to make a move, see how I deal with you. Understand?"
The young man about to take the stage swallowed hard. Although given their captain's carefree personality, he was probably just talking and wouldn't actually dish out any heavy punishment, even minor pranks were no fun.
"Good, get out there and back fast." The captain gently patted his shoulder, narrowing his eyes into a good-natured smile, "Don't be nervous, after all it's just the round-robin tournament, it doesn't matter if you lose, hehehe..."
The young soul engineer gave a bitter smile, collected his emotions, and briskly climbed onto the competition stage.
Huo Yuhao merely glanced at him briefly to get a rough idea.
