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

Chapter 234 These Hypocrites from Shrek Academy
Ma Xiaotao asked in surprise, "Give up? Their team members didn't seem to be seriously injured, so why did they give up so easily?"

Xiao Xiao said with a grin, "Teacher Wang just analyzed it for us, saying that Xingluo Royal Academy's choice is actually quite normal, and there are several reasons for it."

"First, their trump card is Princess Jiujiu, but no matter how powerful Princess Jiujiu's martial soul is, it is still mainly for support, and its role in individual competitions is actually not that great."

"Secondly, among their main players, Dugu Shangshan is still seriously injured and will not be able to participate in the later individual competitions. Among the remaining five Soul Kings, none of them can match Senior Sister Xiaotao in terms of top-level combat power. Moreover, we also have Yuhao. It is basically hopeless for three people to defeat our seven people."

"As for the last reason," Xiao Xiao turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao and chuckled, "Teacher Wang said that the Star Luo Empire probably still wants to do Yuhao a favor. Since they lost the team battle, there's no point in continuing the individual competition. It's better to let Yuhao keep his trump card of Ultimate Ice hidden, and then give the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy a big surprise!"

Hearing this, the others couldn't help but laugh. Xu Sanshi clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "You know what, I've seen plenty of people who like to play dumb to fool others, but I've never seen anyone as young and cunning as Yuhao. This is the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament! He actually managed to hide so many trump cards all the way to the finals. Those guys from the Sun Moon Empire must be crying their eyes out!"

Huo Yuhao chuckled but didn't reply.

Hearing Xu Sanshi's evaluation, Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes sparkled, and her gaze towards Huo Yuhao was filled with pride and tenderness.

Huo Yuhao asked, "By the way, we got back early yesterday. How did the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's competition go?"

Wang Yan said, "Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy defeated Di'ao Academy with an overwhelming advantage, but the individual competition will continue today."

"Overwhelming advantage?" Ma Xiaotao came back to her senses in surprise and looked at Wang Yan.

Because she knew that the Imperial Academy had a ratio of one Soul Emperor and six Soul Kings. Without considering strategy and tactics, its overall strength was even greater than that of the Star Luo Royal Academy. Yet, even so, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy still managed to win with an overwhelming advantage.
Wang Dong'er nodded and said, "It's said that the team battle took even less time than ours, and the Imperial Academy was suppressed from beginning to end without any chance. However, I heard that the captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also went on the field. He's a level six Soul Master, very powerful."

Wang Yan nodded seriously: "That's right. Their captain is an extremely powerful Soul Master. We don't know what his Martial Soul is yet, but his use of Soul Tools is indeed superb. Even if his overall strength can't compare to Xiao Tao's, it won't be much worse."

Huo Yuhao chuckled softly: "I feel he's most likely a Soul Master with a mental attribute as well, but don't worry, they have their trump cards, and we have ours too!"

Xu Sanshi burst out laughing: "I believe what Yuhao said. When it comes to talent for cunning, I have great faith in Yuhao."

Ma Xiaotao smiled and looked at Wang Yan, saying, "Teacher Wang, since we don't have any matches today, why don't we go watch the individual competition of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? We're free anyway, and we're about to face them, so it'll be good to learn more about our opponents."

"Well," Wang Yan hesitated for a moment, but seeing everyone's interest, he had no choice but to agree, "Alright then, let's go together after breakfast."

Looking at the exquisite food in front of her, Wang Dong'er suddenly felt a little deflated: "Sigh, although the food prepared by the Star Emperor Hotel is good, I'm getting a little tired of it after eating it for a month." Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Dong'er's wrinkled face, and suddenly had an idea. He smiled and said, "How about this? Since we don't have to play today, why don't we go to the stadium, watch the game, and eat some good food at the same time? We can also change things up."

Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao, both foodies, immediately brightened up and exclaimed excitedly, "Good stuff? Could it be..."

Huo Yuhao exchanged a knowing glance with the two of them and said, "Everyone, go to the arena first. Dong'er and I will go to the hotel to buy some ingredients and equipment. They should have a fairly complete supply in this regard."

Hearing Huo Yuhao say that, Wang Yan suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Yuhao, don't go too far! This is the semi-finals after all. Even though we don't have to play, we still need to consider the players on the field. If we go too far, it won't be good for our academy's reputation!"

Huo Yuhao immediately protested, "Teacher Wang, look at what you're saying. I just wanted everyone to have a proper meal. It's none of anyone else's business. The Star Luo Empire didn't say we can't eat while watching a game, did it?"

After saying that, Huo Yuhao didn't give Wang Yan a chance to express his opinion. He urged the others to go to Xingluo Square first, while he pulled Wang Dong'er and ran towards the kitchen.

When Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er arrived at Xingluo Square after purchasing the ingredients, Di'ao Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also entered at the same time.

"Yuhao, didn't we buy a bit too much?"

"I think it's not enough. There are so many of us, and we're all Soul Masters. We're at the age where we need to grow, so we have to make sure we have enough."

"But eating hot pot takes a long time. Today's individual competition only features Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Imperial Academy. I'm afraid the competition will be over before we finish eating."

"What's there to be afraid of? As one of the two finalists, even after their individual matches are over, can't we still have a meal and discuss tactics? The Star Luo Empire isn't going to come and clear the place out, is it? They wouldn't be stupid enough to offend us over something like this."

"Oh, this," Wang Dong'er subconsciously glanced at Wang Yan in the rest area not far away, and whispered, "Will Teacher Wang be angry?"

Huo Yuhao chuckled confidently, "Don't worry, didn't you see I just bought so many pig intestines from the highland fragrant pigs, a specialty of the Northern Douling Empire? Teacher Wang loves this. Trust me, there's nothing a hot pot meal can't solve. If there is, then we'll eat it all day!"

"Eat it all day?" Wang Dong'er nodded happily, feeling her mouth start to water uncontrollably!
Seeing Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er whispering as they walked ahead, Xiao Hongchen chuckled and turned to Meng Hongchen, saying, "Meng, look at these hypocrites from Shrek Academy. Apart from their team leader, they never watched our matches before, but they're clearly still wary of us. They're all here today. The finals are the day after tomorrow, and now they can't keep up the act anymore. Ha, even Huo Yuhao, that show-off, has come to probe our strength!"
