Huo Yuhao was carried by three people towards the inner courtyard. Before long, many inner courtyard students appeared around them.
"Have you heard? Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er are starting the inner courtyard competition. What do you say, are you going to watch?"
"I think it's a good idea. I should be able to meet one of them later, and going to see their fighting styles now will give me more confidence."
"Both of them have reached the Six-Ring Soul Emperor. It seems they will definitely be able to secure a spot in this Continental Elite Soul Engineer Tournament."
"Who says otherwise? I wonder if I have a chance to get into the top seven in the inner courtyard competition. These junior girls are all too amazing; I'm starting to feel overwhelmed."
Listening to the conversation among the students around him, Huo Yuhao asked the three people beside him, "Seniors, what is this Inner Academy Grand Competition? What is it used for?"
The handsome man chuckled and patiently explained to Huo Yuhao, "The Inner Academy Grand Competition is intended to allow students from all over the Inner Academy to exchange and learn from each other every year; it's not usually this lively."
"But the Continental Elite Soul Engineer Tournament is coming up soon, and we'll be relying on the top seven from this Inner Academy competition to be the regular team members."
The tall man exclaimed excitedly, "The current Shrek Seven Devils! Any student at the Shrek Academy would be excited!"
Immediately following, a commotion arose from the crowd.
The crowd, which had been gathered in one group, parted in the middle as if by prior arrangement, making way for a few people to pass through.
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered, and his Spiritual Detection pierced through the crowd, immediately revealing what had happened.
Two beautiful figures were now standing at the back of the crowd. The two pretty girls now had a more mature charm, and their already alluring figures were even more attractive.
The visitors were none other than today's two main characters, Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er.
"Goddess Dong'er, Go Goddess Dong'er!"
"Goddess Dong'er, you are the best!"
" Wang Qiu'er the God of War! Wang Qiu'er's destined to win this match!"
"Support Wang Qiu'er! Support Wang Qiu'er!"
"The Inner Court's Number One Female War Goddess! Qiu'er, I love you!"
With a smile on her face, Wang Dong'er nodded to the enthusiastic students around her, a faint rainbow of light forming a butterfly wing behind her.
Holding the Golden Dragon Spear, Wang Qiu'er stood proudly, her eyes flashing with sharpness, her cold face like an iceberg, making her unapproachable.
The other students seemed to exist in her eyes as if they didn't exist.
The two exchanged a glance, Wang Dong'er nodded to her, Wang Qiu'er nodded back before walking towards the arena behind the crowd.
At that moment, the three male students also squeezed Huo Yuhao to the front row.
The handsome man patted Huo Yuhao, who was staring intently at the arena, and said with a mischievous grin, "How about it! I wasn't lying to you, was I? The title of 'Inner Court Goddess' really lived up to its reputation."
The light in Huo Yuhao's eyes faded, and he nodded in agreement, "Senior has excellent taste."
"Of course, I thought you were just pretending to be serious. So you thought I was lying to you?" The handsome man put his arm around Huo Yuhao's shoulder, full of enthusiasm.
As for the other two, they were already stunned and had no time to pay attention to Huo Yuhao.
"Hey, Dong'er is growing more and more elegant. Qiu'er must be Dong'er's older sister, right?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I have to say, the twins really do look alike!"
A sigh of admiration rang out beside Huo Yuhao and the handsome man.
Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw that it was Xu Sanshi he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Senior Sanshi, what a coincidence! You're here to watch the Inner Court Competition too?" The handsome man greeted Xu Sanshi.
"Hey junior, when are you coming back? We haven't seen each other for years."
Although Xu Sanshi had only met Huo Yuhao a few times, and they hadn't had any contact in recent years.
Huo Yuhao's appearance had changed a lot, but the familiarity between his brows and his unique lazy temperament still made Xu Sanshi recognize him quickly.
"Senior, do you know this junior?" the handsome man asked, puzzled.
Xu Sanshi nodded and said, "That's right, but you've got the wrong address. I remember you've only been in the inner courtyard for a year, right?"
"Did you call me by the wrong name? What do you mean, Senior Sanshi?" the man asked again, puzzled.
"Junior Brother Huo is your senior, but he was an exchange student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, which is why he hasn't reported to the inner academy yet," Xu Sanshi patiently explained.
As he spoke, Xu Sanshi pulled Huo Yuhao over and said enthusiastically, "Junior Brother Huo, it's been a long time since we last met. I really miss your grilled fish."
"Ah, senior?! No?" The handsome man was surprised to find that the freshman he had brought over was actually his senior, and an exchange student at that.
This ability probably belonged to a true genius back then, and now that he was putting his arm around her shoulder, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Xu Sanshi ignored him and instead pulled Huo Yuhao to the other side to reminisce about the past.
At this moment, Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er had already taken their positions on the competition stage, and two invisible auras had already collided between them.
" Wang Dong'er, level 62, Power Attack System Soul Emperor, please enlighten me." Wang Dong'er said, clasping her hands in greeting.
As soon as he finished speaking, the magnificent butterfly wings behind him unfurled instantly, emitting a faint halo of light, and loud cheers immediately erupted from the students below.
Wang Qiu'er's eyes sharpened as she looked at Wang Dong'er ahead, and she coldly said, " Wang Qiu'er, level 68, Power Attack System Soul Emperor, please!"
With a straight, powerful step back, he lowered his center of gravity, his Golden Dragon Spear parallel to the ground, its sharp tip already aimed at Wang Dong'er ahead.
Its pupils transformed into golden vertical pupils, looking down with the disdainful gaze of Dragon God.
Six dazzling Soul Ring rose simultaneously behind the two. As their auras collided, the students around the defensive spirit shield across the arena felt an invisible pressure fall on their shoulders.
Xu Sanshi said to Huo Yuhao, "Even I feel immense pressure facing just one of them. How about you, Junior Huo, are you feeling pressured?"
Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, "Senior is joking. I'm Control System; unless we fight head-on, I can easily escape."
As the inner court teacher, acting as referee, announced, "The match begins!"
The next moment, two dazzling lights, one blue and one gold, simultaneously lit up the competition stage.
The two clashed without using any Soul Skill!
"Oh? Goddess Dong'er acted impulsively!" a male student in the audience immediately exclaimed in regret.
"Come on, you bunch of Dong'er fans! Our Qiu'er is a female warrior! Just wait and see!" exclaimed a student supporting Wang Qiu'er.
In their view, Wang Dong'er's impulsiveness was not without reason, after all, Wang Qiu'er's Martial Soul was the Golden Dragon, and in terms of strength, the two would naturally be far apart.
Such recklessness will put Wang Dong'er at a disadvantage in an instant.
Xu Sanshi watched this scene with some doubt. "Although it's a foregone conclusion that they'll become Shrek Academy's regular team members even if they lose the points competition, this kind of play seems a bit reckless."
After Xu Sanshi finished speaking, he looked at Huo Yuhao, as if asking for his opinion.
Huo Yuhao smiled as he looked at the two still competing on the stage and said, "Senior, the difference in Martial Soul isn't insurmountable."
"???" Xu Sanshi asked, somewhat puzzled. "Junior, how can we compensate for Martial Soul that is innate?"
"Yes, it's innate. Since the Light Goddess Butterfly doesn't work, why not just choose another one?"
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, he immediately widened his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly looked at the stage, only to see the light slowly fading away.
What clashed with the Golden Dragon Spear on the stage was not Wang Dong'er's butterfly wings, but a hammer that was entirely black and exuded a heavy aura.
"This is... the Clear Sky Hammer! Holy crap!"
Xu Sanshi was stunned. He never expected that Wang Dong'er would have a Martial Soul. She was truly a monster!
