For Huo Yuhao, that killing intent was what he wanted to act on at that moment.
Right now, the other man knew nothing about the Duke's Mansion or certain related matters; his memories had already been plundered. He had made his one attempt to see whether there was a chance of bringing the other man to his senses, but that did not mean he was willing to face the risk.
And if the other man remained stubbornly blind, he would have to strike first and kill him.
Sensing the sudden change in Huo Yuhao and the undisguised killing intent coming from him, Tang Yuhao was dumbfounded.
Wait, he just wanted to ask a few questions, so why was the other man reacting so strongly again? Could he really be hiding something? Or was there really something no one else knew about?
That only made Tang Yuhao think about it even more.
So his first reaction was not fear. Instead, he looked at Huo Yuhao and asked in return,
"I just wanted to ask you something. Why are you showing killing intent?"
"You wanted to ask me something? You and I only look a little alike. And then what? You deliberately waited here. Who knows if you had some other idea in mind? Were you trying to gather information or make a move against me?"
"Or could it be that Shrek's people just like acting in such a shady way?"
That left Tang Yuhao completely speechless. In an instant, he stopped thinking about the matter altogether.
No, how could the other man insult Shrek?
"Apologize to Shrek!"
Tang Yuhao clenched his fists instinctively, glaring fixedly at the other man.
After all, he had gradually been tamed by Shrek, bit by bit. And now he had heard the other man speak of Shrek like that.
The fact that his eyes had not turned bloodshot and he was not raging like a bull already showed considerable patience.
"In the eyes of the strong, an ant has no standing. If you bother me with one more word, no one will be able to save you today."
As his words fell, the icy killing intent on Huo Yuhao's face seemed ready to erupt completely.
Tang Yuhao was stunned for a moment and could only stare blankly as the other man went inside.
Tang Yuhao had even considered barging in, but he was not stupid after all.
If he barged in like that and the other man really did attack him, Shrek would have no grounds to stand on.
Most importantly, he had come this time only to answer a question in his heart. How could he use something like that to justify himself?
Compared with what he had said, others might be more willing to believe it was because their names and appearances were similar or something like that.
After all, their Martial Souls were completely different.
But somehow, Tang Yuhao felt that perhaps that Martial Soul was the one that belonged to him. No, it seemed it did not belong to him either.
Tang Yuhao could only suppress that strange feeling for the time being. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao watched Tang Yuhao leave, his teeth itching with anger.
When would that strange power on the other man disappear? Once it did, if he got the chance, he had to take down that meddlesome fellow first.
In the battles that followed, Shrek fought its way through one opponent after another.
At last came the most interesting battle: the match against Zhengtian Academy.
After Xu Sanshi and He Caitou each won their matches by unleashing power at their limits,
Tang Yuhao and Wang Dong used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill as soon as the third match began.
Clear Sky's Dance, Silver Emperor!
As the briefly manifested Clear Sky True Body attacked, the Blue Silver Emperor instantly imprisoned their opponent.
First control, then attack-a perfect combination.
But this time, their opponent broke free with ease.
That left Tang Yuhao and the others dumbfounded. Indeed, their opponent had unleashed his fifth Soul Skill, and Bei Bei, even though his Martial Soul had already undergone a mutation,
becoming the so-called Radiant Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon,
still had to grit his teeth and struggle through the battle. Fortunately, he finally managed, with great difficulty, to drag down their opponent's strongest carry.
But that still left two three-ring fighters to face two four-ring fighters. Although the spiritual-system fighter had been dragged down, the pair's Soul Power had nearly run dry from using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill earlier and constantly coordinating with each other.
Was Shrek going to lose?
Just thinking about it was more than Tang Yuhao could bear. As he let out a roar, he suddenly discovered that the broken remnants of the Blue Silver Emperor had eerily begun to fuse?!
Little by little, they devoured the small amount of blood on the ground.
Tang Yuhao felt much of his stamina return, and he even seemed to have grown stronger. He activated his first Soul Skill again!
Blue Silver Entanglement!
This time, the Blue Silver Entanglement still came with the terrifying effect of Parasite, while also devouring blood.
The blood-red patterns against the deep blue had gradually grown until they nearly rivaled the golden ones.
The bizarre sight left even the referee somewhat dumbfounded. In the end, Tang Yuhao forcibly won by devouring and converting blood, together with Wang Dong's cooperation.
There was some discussion about it, but it was ultimately suppressed.
After all, the Blue Silver Emperor of Tang San, the First Generation Sea God, had also possessed the ability Parasite.
His had merely mutated a little in that direction.
Was Tang Yuhao still normal?
Tang Yuhao looked at the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand, at the intertwined blood-red and golden patterns against its deep-blue surface.
He could sense faint signs that the blood-red patterns were beginning to spread.
Would his Blue Silver Emperor completely mutate one day?
The mere thought sent a shiver through Tang Yuhao, but he also thought that this might simply be a normal talent of Blue Silver Grass.
When he had met Tang Ya before, he had felt that she, too, seemed to have a similar hidden talent. Yes, this was only a hidden talent.
After this hard-fought victory, Wang Yan felt some heartache for the children. Looking at Xuan Zi upon his return, he declared, emphasizing every word,
"Elder Xuan, if they really have to keep fighting like this, they might as well admit defeat, or Shrek should withdraw. With how stubborn these children are, they could die."
By the time he heard the last part, Xuan Zi's expression had turned rather ugly. But realizing that the situation did indeed call for more people to be sent over, he could only nod heavily, then hurry back toward Shrek Academy once more.
A few days later, Shrek's reinforcements finally arrived, brought over by Xuan Zi in his all-out rush.
There were two reinforcements.
One was Gou Xiaotian, an agility-attack-system Battle Soul King with the Gale Demon Wolf.
The other was Liu Sanlong, a Power Attack System Battle Soul King with the Flame Dragon Martial Soul.
One was level fifty-two, and the other was level fifty-three.
Both had failed to make the cut when the previous generation competed for the Shrek Seven Devils, and both had only recently entered the inner court.
Fortunately, with their help and cooperation, they successfully made it into the top four. The matchups for the top four had yet to be announced, and this year's Starlight Auction finally arrived as scheduled.
