Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 71 Xingluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy (Two in One)

"His Majesty is here!"

As the voice fell, Xu Jiawei appeared in the stands with a solemn expression. Facing the people who were kneeling in salute, a friendly smile appeared on his face.

People of Xingluo, I stand here today to be honest with you. Recently, a lot of rumors about the competition have been circulating in Xingluo City, and I am deeply saddened by this.

I know you may have doubts in your hearts, but I can tell you clearly that these are just rumors, a despicable act by someone to destroy the peace of the Xingluo Empire."

Xu Jiawei paused, his face heavy and his tone sincere.

"I assure you, and I'm also giving an explanation to all participating academies, that the Xingluo Imperial Family has always been open and honest and would never do anything dishonest. Every step of the competition will be fair and just!
To completely dispel everyone's doubts, I have ordered all participating teams to be regrouped. I promise you in the name of the Son of Heaven that I will present a wonderful competition!"

Xu Jiawei's words were so powerful that the ignorant common people in Xingluo City felt relieved when they heard that their emperor actually swore in the name of the Son of Heaven.

The tense expressions of the people gradually relaxed, replaced by faces filled with emotion, and low sobs were even heard in the square.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

……

The Xingluo people who had stood up knelt down again, kowtowed in the direction of Xu Jiawei, and chanted something in praise of Xu Jiawei and the Xingluo royal family.

Only those who wronged you know how helpless you really are. Similarly, when the soul master academy members who knew the truth saw this scene, they felt more disdain and pity.

They didn't dare to jump to conclusions about whether there was any shady dealings in the Shrek Academy competition, but everyone was well aware of the unspoken rules of the major imperial competitions. Now, seeing the civilians in Xingluo City being moved by just a few words, they just found it ridiculous.

"Now let's announce the groups of the major colleges for this round."

Xu Jiawei stepped down from the platform, and out of sight of the moved civilians, he put away his previous pretentious expression, and a hint of barely perceptible mockery flashed in his eyes.

"Group One: Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Advanced Soul Instructor Academy, Xing Luo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy, Rongshi Academy..."

"The second group, Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy..."

In the Housai District, Huo Yuhao and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Bei Bei said in surprise, "You don't want us to live."

"Wow! Eight teams, two full soul kings, three five soul kings, and three four soul kings." Xu Sanshi picked up the battle report printed with information from various colleges and universities and screamed in surprise.

"I think our opponent is most likely one of those two all-Soul King teams. We might as well just admit defeat." Wang Dong felt his eyes go dark and he collapsed in the chair, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"We can't just admit defeat." Xu Sanshi shook his head. "It would damage our reputation."

"What? Brother Xu wants to fight to the death for Shrek's reputation? This is unlike you. You were the one who shouted the loudest when we were fighting yesterday." Wang Dong sat up straight and asked in surprise.

"Giving up directly will damage our reputation. Do you want to be known as a coward?" Huo Yuhao said unhappily.

"Wang Dong, with your talent, you should be a seed-level player for the successor in Haotian Sect. Why are you acting like a fool?" Xiao Xiao's brows were full of speechlessness.

"Reputation can be good or bad. The past is the past, and the present is the present. I don't care what others think of me. I don't need others' approval. I am who I am!"

Wang Dong snorted disdainfully, and his words shocked the people around him.

"No matter who you are, get out of Wang Dong's body." Xiao Xiao's words successfully made Wang Dong angry and embarrassed, and made the reserve team, who were about to face a strong enemy, feel much happier.

"The first round of the round-robin tournament, Shrek Academy versus Xingluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy."

As the announcement was made, the atmosphere in the entire venue fell silent for a moment. Compared to the other academies who looked like they were enjoying the show, someone on Shrek's side had already started cheering.

"I won." Xiao Xiao excitedly took the bet on the table. She had just bet on the Xingluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy. Seven hundred gold soul coins, although not much, but it is always happy to get something for free.

In the Housai District of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, upon hearing the name of the Xingluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy, Ma Lao's face painted a contemptuous smile, shook his head and sighed:

"They've calculated Shrek Academy's weakness and are planning to give the title of defeating the continent's top academy to their own country's academy. The Star Luo Empire's methods are still as despicable as ever."

"They only dare to have evil intentions when Shrek Academy doesn't have any regular players. If I run into Xingluo Royal Academy in the future, I will definitely leave them with an unforgettable memory." Ma Rulong said with disdain.

"I didn't realize that you like Shrek Academy, Captain? You even want to help them vent their anger." Li Yan was shocked. Shrek Academy didn't have a good reputation in the Sun Moon Empire.

"You are an idiot whose brains are only filled with muscles. The captain is not standing up for Shrek Academy, but he just can't stand the behavior of the Star Luo Empire." Xiao Xiafeng said silently, and gave Li Yan the middle finger.

"Do I still need you to translate for me? Believe it or not, I will beat you up!" Li Yan's face turned red, and his violent temper was obvious.

"If you have the guts, then go ahead and fight. I'll give you some steamed buns while you watch the game." Xiao Xiafeng smiled, showing no sign of fear towards Li Yan.

"You..." Li Yan died down. As a food-type soul master with good enhancement effects, Xiao Xiafeng was still very popular among several people. Various steamed buns were very good for increasing strength.

"I really want to compete with the strongest people from the continent's number one academy, but unfortunately this is my last chance to participate in the competition."

Ma Rulong felt regretful. As the strongest person of this generation, he was born in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, which has always been the second-best school. In his heart, he has always been competing with Shrek Academy.

He had wanted to rely on his strength as a Soul Emperor to break this shackle, but unexpectedly, things did not go as he wished. Shrek Academy actually sent a group of reserve team kids to participate in the competition.

"Captain, don't be disappointed. Eat a steamed bun and you'll feel better." A snow-white steamed bun appeared out of thin air in Xiao Xiafeng's hand and he handed it to Ma Rulong.

Ma Rulong laughed, but did not refuse. He took the steamed bun and started to eat it.

"I will fulfill this wish for you. They will definitely be the next regulars of Shrek Academy. Then I will personally shatter the title of the best in the continent." Xiao Hongchen smiled faintly and said confidently. However, what he didn't expect was that he would indeed run into these seven people in the next term, but some of them represented the academy, some represented the sect, and some even became his teammates.

"Captains of both teams, please come on stage and draw the battle mode."

Beibei came up to the stage upon hearing the voice. Opposite him was the captain of Xingluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy, Bai Yanyan, a female soul master. She had an ordinary appearance but a very sharp gaze.

Beibei and Bai Yanyan worked together to throw the metal ball into the air. The metal ball in the air shone in the sunlight, and a small blue ball slipped out of the only hole, announcing the result.

"Shrek Academy vs. Xingluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy. The match format is a two-two-three team battle. Both teams please send out their players for the first match."

The so-called 2-2-3 team battle is to play two 2-on-2 games first, and then a 3-on-3 game. If we win the two 2-on-2 games, then there is no need to play the third game.

"Beibei, what kind of luck do you have? Being defeated once is not enough, we have to lose twice." Xu Sanshi screamed and attacked Beibei with his eyes.

"Just be happy that you didn't get drawn into the individual competition, because you'll lose seven games anyway." Beibei looked at Xu Sanshi speechlessly.

"Okay, let's follow the plan we arranged yesterday. Beibei and Sanshi will go up first, followed by Yuhao and Luochen, and finally Caitou, Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong. Everyone, do your best."

Wang Yan gave a symbolic encouragement. As the team leader, he wanted to win more than anyone else. However, in the face of absolute strength, he could not see any hope of victory. The Xingluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy was a real Five Soul King team.

There was no strategy to speak of when using a few members of the reserve team to fight against the Five Soul Kings team. They could only maximize their attack power to seek a glimmer of hope.

Beibei and Xu Sanshi are undoubtedly the best team, followed by Huo Yuhao, who can amplify Ling Luochen to the ultimate ice, the ultimate ice of the Soul King level, which ordinary Soul Emperors cannot resist.

The last three people, He Caitou, were actually just there to make up the numbers. Wang Yan didn't expect them to win at all. The reason was that He Caitou, Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong were simply unable to cooperate with each other.

He Caitou is a long-range turret-type soul engineer, Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong are suitable for fighting alone, and it is almost impossible for the three of them to fight across levels when they get together.

Beibei and Xu Sanshi quickly stepped onto the stage. Their opponents were two female soul masters, one of whom happened to be Bai Yanyan, the captain of the Xingluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy.

As for the other pretty female spirit master, Beibei and Xu Sanshi didn't know her name either. The groupings were only announced today, and they had no time to analyze the opponent's information.

"Both parties, please state your names." As soon as the referee finished speaking, both sides announced their names at the same time.

"Shrek Academy, Beibei (Xu Sanshi)."

"Xingluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy, Bai Yanyan (Luo Xiaoli)."

"Game start!"

Following the referee's command, the four people were possessed by their martial spirits at the same time. Seeing that Bai Yanyan and Luo Xiaoli both had the optimal spirit ring ratio of two yellow, two purple and one black, the pressure on Beibei and Xu Sanshi increased greatly.

The optimal soul ring ratio is actually not common, especially after the fourth ring. The main reason is that most colleges do not have strong enough teachers.

Soul Master is actually the best among soul masters. There are three watersheds for soul masters: Soul Master, Soul Saint, and Titled Douluo. The first level, Soul Master, actually stops many people.

Not to mention soul masters who choose to become teachers. Strong teachers are very scarce in ordinary colleges, and high-level colleges often have few teachers above the Soul Sage level.

Of course, this situation definitely does not exist in top institutions like the Imperial Royal Academy. They can even find one or two Titled Douluo-level teachers.

They cannot actually be called teachers, as they rarely teach but are more responsible for the management and control of the college.

On the other hand, there are problems with the students themselves. For example, some ordinary martial spirit owners simply cannot withstand a thousand-year spirit ring when they reach level 30. This is very common among the spirit masters of the Sun-Moon Empire.

It is normal in the Sun-Moon Empire for the third soul ring to last a hundred years and the fifth soul ring to last a thousand years. Most people rely solely on elixirs to improve their cultivation, and their physical strength cannot keep up, which has led to the current situation.

Beibei's entire arm is covered with dark blue dragon scales. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is different from other beast spirits. Its degree of beastification increases according to its cultivation level, and it cannot be completely transformed into a dragon at the beginning.

Xu Sanshi held the dark and heavy Xuanming tortoise shell shield, and compared with their opponents, the changes were quite significant.

Bai Yanyan's appearance changed drastically at this moment. Her original height of 1.7 meters had suddenly increased to about 2.4 meters. Her fair skin turned brown, her limbs swelled, and her whole body looked like it was made of rough and irregular stones.

The clothes on her body had long been torn apart by her growing body, revealing a set of close-fitting earth-colored inner armor that completely outlined her figure. In her hand was a huge hammer that was more than one meter long and as thick as an iron barrel.

The giant hammer is completely black, and the hammer body is thick and huge, as if it carries a thousand pounds of force. There is no doubt that this giant hammer and her inner armor are both soul guides.

Luo Xiaoli's changes were the opposite of Bai Yanyan's. After being possessed by the martial spirit, her body became even shorter, less than 1.5 meters tall, but she gained weight, her back arched inward, and a pair of small gray wings grew on both sides.

Luo Xiaoli's wings did not look strong. The gray wing membrane was translucent and looked fragile. It could be broken with a little force. Her palms were blue and purple, and her sharp nails extended outwards. This was the change caused by her martial spirit possession.

But in addition to this, Luo Xiaoli also had a set of mercury-colored armor on her body. The metallic luster and flashing patterns on its surface made it clear that it was another soul guide device.

One of them was wearing inner armor, and the other was wearing outer armor. Normally, for soul guides of the same level, the inner armor is definitely weaker than the outer armor.

The most intuitive manifestation is the amount of metal used. Compared with armor, inner armor consumes less metal, which means that the number of core magic arrays that can be engraved is reduced, and the function is naturally reduced.

Of course, this is under normal circumstances, without using the micro-core magic array. If the micro-core magic array is used for engraving, the situation will be completely different.

The so-called micro core magic array actually uses micro-carving technology to reduce the area of ​​an ordinary core magic array, so that more core magic arrays with other functions can be engraved on the basis of the same function.

But the problem is that for the same core magic array, using micro-carving technology is more than ten times more difficult than normal engraving. If you are not careful, a lot of materials will be wasted, and it will be time-consuming, labor-intensive and not easy to succeed.

Generally speaking, only soul masters above level seven would attempt micro-carving. The difficulty was matched by extremely high rewards. The difference in power between using the same core to make a soul guide ray, one compressed soul power array, and three compressed soul power arrays can be imagined.

"What kind of combination is this, a giant and a dwarf?"
