Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 278: A fierce battle begins.
"Could it be that Brother Bai'e's fate has also been distorted or even usurped by the other party?"

Miyu, who remained focused, blinked her amber eyes, a hint of worry appearing on her usually expressionless face.

She quite liked this older brother who often played with them. He frequently brought her books on martial soul research unique to Shrek Academy. Bai E had a high reputation among the children of Xilu City.

Every time he returned to Xilu City, a large group of children would gather around him, listening to Bai E tell stories or playing with him.

Occasionally, Medmos would be pulled along by the other party to play with these children.

Everyone loves this warm and sunny older brother and has already accepted him as the king of the kids in Xilu City. As long as he gives the order, everyone will storm the city lord's mansion and seize the throne from City Lord Kong Yang!

At that time, Brother Bai'er became the Great City Lord, and Brother Maidemus became the Small City Lord.

Ilya looked at Gu Qiu'er beside her, waiting for her reply with a worried expression.

Gu Qiu'er waved her hand casually and said with a proud look:

"Okay, don't worry."

"I will take action when the time comes and handle it directly."

"If Heaven had not given birth to me, Gu Qiu'er, my fate would have been forever shrouded in darkness!"

Ilya pouted and poked Gu Qiu'er's cheek, saying:
"I mean it."

"The three of us are training partners for the essential course of Soul Masters. The opponent's ability is so strange, be careful you don't get yourself into trouble."

Seeing the questioning looks on Ilya and Miyu's faces, Gu Qiu'er pouted and leaned against the fence, saying:

"Hmph, you dare to question me!"

"I am an imperial auspicious beast! In terms of destiny, even Di Tian is inferior to me!"

"However, the noble imperial beasts never act on their own; someone else will act for me."

"Oh? And who's going to help you?"

Just as Gu Qiu'er was muttering to herself, a clear, cold voice rang in the ears of the three of them.

Ilya and Miyu hurriedly turned around, and a stunningly beautiful figure stood behind them. Gu Yuena smiled and patted their heads.

Ever since Huo Yuhao started frequently rubbing her head, she's also taken to patting her juniors' heads.

Gu Qiu'er threw herself into the other person's arms, nuzzled against his soft chest, and said in a coquettish tone:

"elder sister!"

"I miss you so much!"

"By the way, I have something to tell you! Something is really wrong with the Zhengtian team below! Something has forcibly usurped their destiny!"

"It makes me feel so uncomfortable!"

"It's like encountering a natural enemy!"

In a sense, Amon is indeed the natural enemy of the imperial auspicious beast; one is the darling of fate, and the other is the thief of fate.

Gu Yuena placed her hands on Gu Qiu'er's shoulders, and the two stunning figures attracted the attention of many people around them.

However, no one dared to do anything. This was Star Luo Square, representing the face of the Star Luo Empire, unless they had eaten too much red bean and wanted to die.

Gu Yuena glanced at the Zheng Tian team below, and then sensed the spiritual power belonging to Huo Yuhao below. A look of understanding appeared in her purple eyes.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Quite a few people are watching."

"Their tacit approval indicates that the other party is not an enemy."

"Alright, you can relax and watch the game. Remember to take good notes in the report. You'll need to submit it as a course assignment when you get back to the Xilu City Research Institute."

"If anything happens later, just contact me on the Magic Network."

"Don't wander around in Star Luo City. This place is not like the Heaven Dou Plain; it's very dangerous."

"I just wandered around and saw a lot of robberies and thefts, especially in places far from auction houses. It's impossible to stop murders and looting."

“There are a lot of desperados here.”

"If we were on the Tiandou Plain, you could do whatever you wanted."

"Ilya and Miyu, could you two please keep an eye on Akiko for me? She's the naughtiest of all."

"I'm worried about her."

Ilya and Miyu nodded their little heads together, prompting Gu Qiu'er, who was standing next to them, to exclaim loudly:
"Damn it! I'm clearly the strongest, I should be the one taking care of them!"

A smile appeared on Gu Yuena's cool face. She gently extended her finger, then slightly bent it, and suddenly flicked it, giving Gu Qiu'er a light tap on the forehead, saying:
"Frizzly."

"There's still not enough homework."

"You dare to call yourself a strongman with only a few years of cultivation? You'll have to cultivate for several thousand more years."

Then, Gu Yuena moved lightly, her white skirt and hair leaving a fragrant trail in the air, and her figure gradually disappeared from the three people's sight.

…………

"The rules of the game are the same as before, so I won't go into details. Both teams, get ready!"

"Please move to either side of the playing area."

After watching both teams set up their formations and get ready, the referee waved his arm and said:
"Round-up match 3! Shrek Academy vs. Zheng Tian Advanced Soul Master Academy, begin!"

On the Zheng Tian Academy side, Ye Wuqing had a smile on his face, and the seven of them activated their martial souls and soul rings almost simultaneously.

Thirty-one soul rings, radiating soul power fluctuations, appeared around the seven people, dazzling even more than the sunlight. Golden leaves, mixed with flames, swept towards Bai E and his companions like a strong wind. Golden light flowed around the tiny golden leaves, causing the crimson flames to flash with golden light from time to time.

Right from the start, Ye Wuqing used his fifth soul skill, Golden Leaf Dance, in conjunction with Yan'er's large-scale fireball, making the intensity of the match far exceed that of the past.

The seven members of Bai'e also activated their martial souls and soul rings. Except for Ling Luochen, who had five soul rings, the others only had two or three rings.

"The Shrek Academy's starting lineup this year is really all players with second and third rings!"

The participating team members from other colleges who were watching couldn't help but marvel. Although everyone present had some mental preparation for this spectacle, they still couldn't help but be amazed when they saw it with their own eyes.

"So, five years from now, Shrek Academy will still be fielding these monsters in the competition?!"

Standing in the Star Luo National Academy's team for a long time, she couldn't help but marvel. The Star Luo National Academy was also going to perform today, and as one of their members, she naturally had to rejoin the team.

"I can't even imagine how strong they will be in five years."

"I wish the reserve team good luck five years from now."

Star Luo National Academy Reserve Team: "…………"

On the competition stage, facing the fierce Dance of Flame and Golden Leaves, Tibo, standing at the back, showed a solemn expression on her young face.

She stretched out her small hands forward, and an illusory door opened in front of her, with spatial elements joyfully gathering around it.

The surging flames and golden leaves were all swept up by the space and rushed into the doorway, then opened again in mid-air with the same doorway, and all the attacks were reflected back to the center of Ye Wuqing's team.

The seven members of the Zhengtian team remained completely calm, and Ye Wuqing exclaimed in admiration:
"Spatial power, not bad."

"Your power level is still very high; stealing it won't work on you."

"It seems Father has given you something good."

The referee saw that Ye Wuqing and the others didn't even try to dodge and were about to rush over to help, only to see that the originally imposing Dance of Flaming Golden Leaves had vanished without a trace, like a phantom.

Only the actual high temperature on the field proves that none of that was an illusion.

"The warm-up is over, now the real show begins."

Ye Wuqing's first, third, and fourth spirit rings shone together. Then, with a wave of his hand, several golden leaves gathered in his hand to form a golden short blade. His left hand turned pure gold, and the veins resembling leaf veins seemed to flow with liquid gold.

This is the fourth soul skill, Golden Left Hand, an amplification soul skill. Combined with the first soul skill, Leaf Blade, and the third soul skill, Leaf Array, his entire body exudes a chilling sharpness, making the eyes of the spectators around him feel a little painful.

Even if Ye Wuqing himself came, he couldn't do this. A good mecha is inseparable from an excellent pilot, and Amon is an expert in this regard.

Yu Mengdi, standing to the side, also smiled slightly. Her pure white wings radiated a holy light, and as her first soul skill shone, slender golden swords appeared in her hands.

Tang Xiaolei was the first to make a move, unleashing the Purple Flower Bow, a rare pure ranged martial soul in the Douluo Continent, which emitted a captivating purple light.

After the first and second spirit rings shone, they transformed into arrows on the Purple Flower Bow. He drew the bowstring taut, and two beams of yellow light shot towards Feng Jin and Ti Bao at an extremely fast speed.

"dream!"

The taotie phantom behind Huo Suier roared, and the other academy members watching from the sidelines felt a chill run down their spines, especially those with dragon bloodlines, who almost collapsed to the ground.

It's not ten thousand years from now, and the dragon bloodline isn't a debuff yet. Apart from the Silver Dragon King, no one can suppress Huo Suier's Gluttonous bloodline.

With a stomp of her foot, countless rocks rose from the ground, forming a majestic wall of thick rocks that shimmered with an earthy yellow light.

"Sorry, my arrows can curve."

Tang Xiaolei smiled, touched his right eye, and above the two yellow arrows, two insects with twelve segments and transparent rings appeared, then merged into the arrows.

Amidst the astonished gazes of countless onlookers, the arrow shot straight up from the ground, soaring over the mountain rocks and crashing down on Feng Jin and Ti Bao like a yellow meteor.

"Holy crap! Arrows can curve?!"

"Is this reasonable?"

Xiao Hongchen stood on the railing of the rest area, his eyes wide. He had never seen an arrow that could curve before.

Ma Rulong, standing to the side, said with a solemn expression:

"Zhengtian Academy......"

"Although their overall cultivation level is lower than ours, judging from their teamwork and unpredictability, this academy's strength is no weaker than ours!"

"The powerful figures on the Douluo Continent are truly as numerous as carp crossing a river!"

Feng Jin looked at the two arrows but did not panic; she was not powerless.

A raging hurricane instantly appeared around her body. The two arrows struck it, their kinetic energy dissipated by the hurricane, and they were swept into the sky and exploded.

"Rainbow Dawn"

As Feng Jin's first soul ring lit up, rainbow-like halos appeared on Bai E and the others, their life force filling every inch of their muscles.

Xia Die, standing to the side, summoned a purple scythe. A phantom of a purple dragon flashed by, and the power of death filled her surroundings.

Seeing that everyone was ready for battle, Huo Suier waved her hand, and the arena began to shake, the rocks began to change, and directly blocked the retreat of the Zheng Tian team.

The use of the second soul skill, "Earthquake," caused countless cracks to appear on the ground, and a dangerous aura emanated from the cracks.

"interesting."

Ye Wuqing touched his right eye. Apart from Shangguan Can, a spirit-attribute soul master, and Tang Xiaolei, a ranged attack soul master, the other five instantly changed formation and charged towards Bai E and the others.

Medemos's lion-like golden eyes flashed red, and he activated his first soul skill, Blood for Blood, and his second soul skill, Blood Feud, turning the scarlet flames into high-temperature crystals.

He, along with Bai E, Huo Sui'er, Ling Luochen, and Xia Die, fought off the five attackers.
