Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 178 "Bang!" "Clang!"
Huo Yuhao sighed softly, turned and walked towards the sidelines, muttering, "Heaven's sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable. It seems I showed too much leniency, causing some people to lack respect for me."

Hearing Huo Yuhao talking to himself as he walked, the referee's expression immediately turned serious.

"Hiss—showing too much leniency? Lacking respect? Is this captain from Changning Academy out of his mind? Does he really think students from Shrek Academy are so simple?"

The referee heard Huo Yuhao and Captain Changning's conversation clearly. As a senior alumnus who graduated from Shrek Academy's outer academy, the referee was well aware of Shrek's teaching style.

At Shrek Academy, everything is based on strength!

The students at Shrek Academy are all talented, but if their strength is insufficient, no matter how strong their talent is, no one will give them a second glance! And these students selected to participate in the competition can basically be said to be at the peak of their level. Since Huo Yuhao dared to say that he would not use a soul tool, it means that even if he doesn't use a soul tool, his hidden strength is definitely deep enough. At least he doesn't take a nobody like Captain Changning seriously!
The referee gave Captain Changning a pitying look. "Couldn't you just play the game properly? Why did you have to be so clever? Now look what's happened! I have to keep an eye on Huo Yuhao to make sure he doesn't cripple you. This is really adding to my workload!"

Seeing that Huo Yuhao seemed to really not intend to use the soul tool, Captain Changning began to think about tactics as he walked backward.

His confidence stemmed largely from his own martial spirit.

Captain Changning's martial soul is quite rare; it's called Gem Starfish, a martial soul that mutated from a starfish.

This captain of Changning is named Hai Boxi. He comes from a small to medium-sized family on the coast of the Star Luo Empire. The family's inherited martial soul is the Sea Star. In each generation, at least one person in their family will experience a martial soul mutation, which becomes the Gem Sea Star!

Without a doubt, Zhonghai Boxi is the lucky one in this generation, which is why he was able to break through to the Soul King level at this age.

This mutated martial soul not only greatly enhances the affinity for water, but also allows the user to manipulate the power of ice, albeit only in a rudimentary way, such as condensing ice cones or ice balls. However, having an extra attribute is always better than having none! More importantly, the mutated gem starfish provides a significant boost to the soul master's mental power, making them much stronger than ordinary people at the same level. It's equivalent to having an additional mental attribute. This is probably why gem starfish soul masters have significantly stronger water control abilities than ordinary starfish soul masters.

After learning that his academy's opponent was Shrek Academy, he had already secretly purchased the mental defense soul tool from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Given Changning Academy's overall strength, it was certainly inferior to Shrek Academy, a fact Hai Boxi was well aware of. Moreover, after witnessing Ma Xiaotao's performance in the previous match, he had no reason to harbor any illusions about this game.

But as the hope for the future of the family, he had to think about himself!
Huo Yuhao's fame in this competition is undoubtedly widespread. If I can defeat him in the competition, then regardless of whether he is a member of the so-called Shrek Academy reserve team, how much will the title of "Changning Academy's Hai Boxi defeats Shrek Academy's genius student Huo Yuhao" catalyze my status in the academy and my future development? Just thinking about it is exciting!

In his view, Huo Yuhao's strengths lay in only two things: his mental power and his soul tool.

With the support of a spirit defense soul tool specially made by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, he felt that he had a great chance of defending against Huo Yuhao's spirit attack. If Huo Yuhao didn't even use a soul tool, what use would it be if they were both Soul Kings, even if Huo Yuhao's soul power was one or two levels higher than his? As a mere spirit attribute soul master who was being targeted, could he really not defeat Huo Yuhao with his powerful water and ice control abilities?

Hahaha, I, Hypoci, am so smart!
Just as Hai Boxi was gloating, Huo Yuhao was secretly calculating in his heart: "Luckily, I replicated Jiang Nannan's teleportation before. Heh, you really hit the bullseye!" Thinking of this, a dangerous smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips: Trying to use me as a stepping stone to become famous overnight? You've got some nerve! Perfect, since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, I'll make an example of you and reduce these meaningless matches to save time!

Before today, Wang Yan had speculated whether Changning Academy would surrender directly. Huo Yuhao had even planned that if Changning Academy surrendered today, Shrek Academy wouldn't need to come to the arena. He could then invite Qiu'er and the others, along with Meng Hongchen, to have hot pot at Hudi Lao in Xingluo City. For the sake of the future Sun Moon Empire instance, he should take the initiative. Why not take the opportunity to increase Meng Hongchen's favorability?

Unfortunately, Changning Academy originally intended to surrender, but because of Haiboxi's ulterior motives and wishful thinking, they ultimately decided to give it a try after his righteous persuasion, which meant that Shrek Academy had to go through this ordeal again today.

Huo Yuhao wasn't in a good mood today, but unexpectedly, he stumbled upon the right person!

One can only say that the chosen one is terrifying!
The two players approached the sidelines, and the referee raised his right hand and announced loudly, "Both sides, get ready, begin!"

After giving the order, the referee's eyes were fixed on Huo Yuhao. Although Huo Yuhao had shown some restraint in his actions in the past few matches, he had to be more careful because Hai Boxi had provoked him first and Huo Yuhao had said those things.

The referee had already made up his mind that as soon as Huo Yuhao showed any signs of unleashing a powerful mental attribute soul skill, he would intervene immediately. In any case, Changning Academy was unlikely to win this match, and even if he stopped them in advance, their team leader probably wouldn't have any objections.

However, the referee was momentarily stunned.

What the heck? Where is Huo Yuhao?

Before he could react, a muffled thud followed by a sharp bang came almost simultaneously from Haiboxi's side!

The referee looked over immediately, his expression changed instantly, and he flashed to Hypoxi's side!

At this moment, Haiboxi had fallen into a deep sleep like an infant. The mental defense soul tool on his left cheek had a deep dent, and the ground next to his right cheek had cracked open. Blood and saliva were flowing out of his mouth, and a few white teeth were scattered outside.

Could it be teleportation?!
The referee abruptly turned to look at the iron hammer Huo Yuhao was holding in his right hand. He scanned it with his spiritual power and found it contained no soul power; it really was just an ordinary forging hammer!
Whether in games or novels, teleportation is absolutely a god-tier skill in my mind!
