Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 90: Leave and Reshape! (Two in One)
Except for Yan Jie, everyone in the range of the fire ring, whether it was Tianhe Academy or Shrek Academy, felt the ubiquitous scorching fire energy and felt a little uncomfortable.

Among them, Xu Sanshi felt the most uncomfortable. His martial soul had the dual attributes of water and earth. Water and fire have always been incompatible, and whoever is stronger has always been right.

Once a duel occurs, the soul master with a higher martial soul grade will strongly suppress the other side. Xu Sanshi was not directly suppressed, but was only indirectly affected.

This is all thanks to his martial soul with dual attributes of water and earth, or more accurately, to the dormant Black Tortoise bloodline. If Xu Sanshi's martial soul was just an ordinary Black Tortoise Shell Shield, he would definitely be suppressed by the attributes, and only one tenth of his strength would remain.

But at this moment, there was another source of discomfort for Xu Sanshi, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, and that was Shan Xin's sand. The large amount of sand and dust had already gathered on the three of them, making them look like they were wearing a layer of sand armor tights.

The most uncomfortable thing was not that they failed to dodge, but that after being forced to be absorbed by the sand and dust, they could not perceive the actual effect of this layer of sand armor.

They were shared by the spiritual detection and just witnessed with their own eyes that all the sand and dust gathered into three balls and came towards them. With such a huge volume, even if it was sand, it should be very thick.

But in fact, apart from some obstruction to their vision, even if they close their eyes, they cannot feel their existence at all. The unknown is what makes people most uneasy. If they really cause harm, they may feel more relieved.

Dozens of light balls flew out from Shrek's side, passing through the air in a parabolic trajectory at an extremely fast speed, and the direction they fell was exactly where Tianhe, Shan Xin and the other two were.

Facing the impending attack, Cheng Xi's expression did not change at all. He released his fourth soul skill again, and a stream of silver light fell and penetrated into the body of the man next to Shan Xin.

Cheng Xi's amplification was completed, and the soul master holding the black shield next to Shan Xin moved. The appearance of this shield was ordinary, exactly the same as the shield everyone had in mind. The top was flat, and the bottom was formed by two arcs intertwined to form the shield surface.

The only peculiar thing is that the surface of this shield is covered with dense and irregularly distributed cracks, making it look very tattered. If it is thrown on the ground, even a dog will shake its head when seeing it.

But as one of the Five Soul Kings of Tianhe Academy, this shield is obviously not a rubbish martial soul. It has a very special name, Thousand-Faced Shield, and is the martial soul of Yue Heng, the only defensive combat soul king of Tianhe Academy.

No one saw Yue Heng use his soul skills. He just threw the Thousand-Faced Shield into the air as if casually. The next moment, it shattered into pieces, turning into more than a dozen small shields of different sizes that flew towards the attack launched by He Caitou, the long-range turret.

These dozens of soul-guided light balls have different effects. Some burn, some explode, and some impact with pure soul power, but they all have one thing in common: they are extremely unstable.

If these light balls are subjected to any external force, the energy in them will explode violently, and the dozen or so small shields split from the Thousand-Faced Shield will each find their respective targets.

The sound of explosions was endless, and the air was filled with smoke. He Caitou's attack, which consumed almost all of his soul power, was easily broken by Yue Heng.

Yue Heng raised his hand slightly, and several shields flew out from the black smoke of the explosion. They changed in the air for a while, and finally turned into the previous large shield and were held in front of him.

Yue Heng's behavior this time is enough to prove his strength. Without using soul skills, he can distract himself and control more than a dozen small shields, which requires extremely high control ability.

The second is the excellent defensive power of the Thousand-Faced Shield. The martial soul can be said to be the heart of a soul master. This theory is especially applicable to weapon martial souls. Once the martial soul is damaged, it is likely to cause irreversible damage.

The Thousand Faced Shield remained intact in the explosion of so many soul-guided light balls. Its defensive power was terrifying. The fact that Cheng Xi did not apply any defense enhancement to Yue Heng showed his confidence in the Thousand Faced Shield.

The Thousand Faces Shield's defensive power is indeed impressive, but Yue Heng's success in resolving the attack is inseparable from Cheng Xi's fourth soul skill, mental amplification. It is in this state that Yue Heng can easily control so many shields with his distraction.

If it were Yue Heng alone, he would never be able to split into more than a dozen shields. Six or seven pieces would be his limit.

The explosion was like a signal for a battle. Yan Jie and Gong Yu moved quickly and went after Xu Sanshi and Xiao Xiao respectively. Wang Dong, who had air superiority, was targeted by the remaining two Soul Masters.

At this moment, Xu Sanshi and the other two finally felt the effect of the sand armor. Their bodies felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and they felt as if they were stuck in a quagmire and unable to move.

This is Shan Xin's sand, solid and heavy. Her fourth soul skill never raises a cloud of sand and dust, but uses soul power to condense difficult sand balls to restrict the movements of the recipient.

The dust that was raised was just a trick of Shan Xin. The sand ball was not condensed from the dust, but was the effect of her soul skill itself. The sand dust that was condensed into shape just now was just a trick of Shan Xin.

Seeing this scene, Ling Luochen was also anxious. She tried to help, but her several soul skills could not penetrate the range of the fire ring.

The ability of the Fire Ring itself is only one aspect. Shan Xin's Sand Martial Soul is the real resistance. The two of them have been competing with their soul skills, but both sides have assistance, and for a while no one can do anything to the other.

But the longer the time drags on, the greater the advantage of Tianhe College will be. Even though Ling Luochen is anxious, he can do nothing about it.

Inside the fire ring, Xu Sanshi and the others seemed to be under a spell of immobilization. Seeing Yan Jie and the others approaching, they had no choice but to struggle hard.

Wang Dong had already fallen from the air, and his pair of wings became heavier than rocks. For the first time, Wang Dong felt that having wings was a burden. Xiao Xiao had the lowest soul power, and under the huge pressure brought by the sand, he couldn't even release his martial soul.

"Ah!" Xu Sanshi roared, and his third soul ring flashed several times, finally breaking free from the restraints. For this, his face turned red, he gasped heavily, and his back was wet with sweat.

Xu Sanshi also has the solid and heavy qualities, but his ability comes from the earth attribute, while Shan Xin's is a variant of the earth attribute, sand.

Xu Sanshi mobilized the power of Xuanming several times before he was able to break the shackles. However, after breaking the shackles, he faced the same situation as Beibei faced Gong Yu before, with insufficient soul power.

Xu Sanshi still had less than 30% of his soul power in his body, which seemed a little better than Beibei at that time, but he was facing Yan Jie, whose martial soul quality and soul power were far higher than Gong Yu!
It was indeed beyond Yan Jie's expectation that Xu Sanshi could break through the blockade of sand. He had faced Shan Xin who had been amplified by Cheng Xi before. The restraint was so strong that no Soul King could break free.

But the opponent managed to break through with his Soul Sect cultivation. At least at this age, Yan Jie thought he couldn't do it.

Yan Jie rushed forward even faster, his second soul ring lit up, and his whole body was covered in orange-red flames. Not only did his speed increase significantly, but his momentum also became more powerful.

Yan Jie rushed towards Xu Sanshi like a wild beast with an indomitable momentum.

Xu Sanshi knew that at such a speed, he had no possibility of dodging, and he didn't even have enough time to use the Xuanming Replacement. The first soul ring burst into a dazzling yellow light, and he held the shield in his right hand and smashed forward fiercely.

The surface of the Xuanming tortoise shell shield emitted a black light. Xuanming Zhen, which had poured in nearly 30% of his soul power, was like a heavy hammer, and collided with Yan Jie, who had raised his arms without any intention of dodging.

Xu Sanshi couldn't describe what kind of power that was. Under the powerful impact of Yan Jie, his Xuanming Zhen had no effect at all. He was knocked back more than ten meters with his shield.

His soul power had already been completely depleted, and under such a powerful attack, Xu Sanshi fell unconscious, and the referee used a gentle stream of soul power to send him off the stage. Xu Sanshi wasn't the only one to suffer this fate; Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao also suffered the same fate. Wang Dong's body was completely confined by the sand and dust, and faced with the attacks of the two soul masters, he had no power to resist.

Not to mention Xiaoxiao, who couldn't even release her martial spirit and was simply a lamb to be slaughtered. Gong Yu only needed to make a slight move to resolve the battle.

At this point, there were only three people left on the Shrek Academy side, namely Ling Luochen, Huo Yuhao and He Caitou. In front of Yan Jie, Ling Luochen's abilities were almost useless.

The outcome was already decided. Tianhe Academy still had seven main players, but Shrek Academy only had three, and the game was quickly over.

"Tianhe College wins the first match of the second round of the round-robin tournament!"

The referee's voice fell, announcing the end of the game. Wang Yan's face was full of bitterness. After losing this game, Shrek Academy had lost the qualification to advance.

It shouldn't be so arbitrary. After all, what if the team with the best record in the group also has two losses?
Originally, it should have been calculated that way, but a special situation occurred. Tianhe Academy, which Shrek played against, lost to one of the all-Soul King teams in the first round of the round-robin tournament.

And the Xingluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy, which had defeated them before the second round of today's game, happened to meet another all-Soul King team, so the outcome was almost no suspense.

In other words, the two teams that defeated Shrek Academy both lost to the All-Soul King teams respectively. So, based on the small points, Shrek Academy could never beat these two All-Soul King teams.

It's over. Wang Yan could already guess what kind of impeachment he would face when he returned to the academy. As the team leader, Shrek Academy didn't even make it into the top 32. No matter what the reason, he had to bear the responsibility.

The audience seats were already filled with curses. After two defeats, Shrek Academy had lost its luster in the eyes of these people, and they turned to cheer for Tianhe Academy. This is the Douluo Continent where strength is supreme.

Once you lose your strength, you will not only suffer from your own pain, but also more from the outside world.

Most of them could only enjoy the fighting spirit competition once every twenty years, and they thought Shrek Academy would make a big deal out of it, but they didn't expect it to be such a big deal.

At the Xingluo Royal Hotel, everyone's faces showed a look of relief. If they had won this game, they might have continued to fight, but if they lost, there was no need to think too much. Two losses were almost the same as being eliminated directly.

Just like that, another day passed, and the second round of the round-robin tournament officially ended. Shrek Academy, having lost both games, was undoubtedly last in the group standings.

According to the competition system, the team at the bottom of the standings will be eliminated after two rounds of round-robin matches, and Shrek Academy will stop there.

Most of the other teams had a record of one win and one loss, and only a few had a perfect record. However, Shrek Academy, as the only team with two losses, directly lost the qualification to advance.

"Wang Yan, I have something to do and need to take Huo Yuhao with me first. You can lead the remaining students back on your own." In the conference room, Xian Lin'er found Wang Yan, who was immersed in the fact that Shrek was directly eliminated, and directly explained her purpose.

"Dean Xian, as the team leader, I have no choice but to take responsibility for Shrek Academy's defeat in this competition." When Wang Yan saw Xian Lin'er, it was like seeing a life-saving straw.

He could still tell the difference between being criticized by Xian Lin'er alone here and being criticized by a group of people when he returned to the academy.

"When the time comes, just leave and don't worry about Huo Yuhao." Xian Lin'er ignored Wang Yan and left on her own.

Wang Yan was stunned. Xian Lin'er's reaction was beyond his expectation. He thought that she would criticize and comfort him, but he didn't expect that she would just ignore him.

Indifference! Wang Yan was certain that Xian Lin'er didn't seem to care at all about Shrek Academy's defeat in the competition or its extremely low ranking.

Not to mention the elders in the academy, even some teachers would sigh and lament for a while after hearing about this matter. However, Xian Lin'er's reaction was too indifferent, as if she was treating it as something unimportant.

Wang Yan was a little confused. He had felt that Xian Lin'er was a little strange since the auction, and now this made him even more convinced.

But he could never have imagined that Xian Lin'er had left Poseidon Pavilion and was no longer a member of Shrek Academy.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao stood opposite He Caitou with a slightly serious expression.

It was also the first time that He Caitou saw his junior brother show this expression, taking off the honest appearance he usually pretended to be. Anyway, he had already confessed his identity as a member of the Sun and Moon Royal Family to Huo Yuhao, so there was no need for him to pretend in front of him.

"Junior brother, are you looking for me?" He Caitou asked with some confusion.

"Brother, please keep these two letters." Huo Yuhao took out two envelopes from the storage soul guide, one white and one red.

He Caitou took the envelope and felt even more confused, but he didn't say anything and waited for Huo Yuhao's next words.

"This letter is for the teacher, and this letter is for you. Brother, please help me pass it to the teacher when the time comes.

As for this letter to you, Senior Brother, I hope you can read it after returning to the academy," Huo Yuhao said solemnly.

"Junior brother, aren't you going back with us?" He Caitou was shocked and understood the other meaning behind it.

"I have something to do and need to go to another place with Dean Xian first. I won't be returning to the academy with everyone."

Huo Yuhao explained and continued, "Brother, this matter is very important to me, please be sure to hand it over to the teacher.

Please be sure to read this letter again when you return to the academy."

"I understand." He Caitou nodded slightly without asking the reason.

Junior brother is a meticulous person. Since he only said this much, it means that he can only say this much, or in other words, he only wants to say this much.

"Brother, thank you for your care during your time at the academy. I will leave with Dean Xian first."
