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

Chapter 298: The episode that showed the most respect for Wang Dong and the monocle.
Three days have passed since the Starlight Auction began. After a hard-fought battle, the Shrek Academy reserve team successfully defeated the Douling Royal Soul Master. The main reason was that Jiang Nannan used the reversal technique that Huo Yuhao had given her to wear down their captain, Gu Zhujian, during the team battle.

The Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul's main skills are inherently mechanic-driven, including Void, Flash, Invincible Golden Body, and Reversal Technique, making it a disruptive force in team battles.

It doesn't cause much harm, but it's still torturous.

Bai E and the others had fully recovered from the battle with Zheng Tian Academy and directly crushed Dou Ling Royal Soul Master Academy in individual battles.

Feng Jin's Eyes of Dawn and Dusk finally revealed their concrete effects.

Interfering with day and night is exactly what it sounds like. The sky seems to be responding to Feng Jin by increasing sunlight, prolonging the night, and even expending a lot of soul power to directly distort the alternation of day and night.

Of course, distorting the alternation of day and night is too difficult for Feng Jin now; she would need to be at least a Soul Saint.

Little Ika is truly outrageous. Like a stroke of incredible luck, after a top-tier Soul King like Guzhu Sword was controlled by Ling Luochen, he was transformed into a rainbow of light and sent flying, his internal organs almost displaced.

Xu Jiawei was already numb. He no longer cared about a healing-type Soul Master with an extreme style and a direct combat ability stronger than that of a power-attack-type Soul Master.

Anyway, this competition is already a complete mess.

Of the seven members of the Shrek Academy's main team, only Wang Dong has not yet demonstrated any outrageous abilities.

The internet is already buzzing with discussions about what incredible abilities she possesses.

Some people say she might be Shrek Academy's secret weapon, otherwise why hasn't she been revealed yet, even though the finals are almost here?

No one doubted that Wang Dong was actually a slacker, just like Diavolo refused to believe that Polnareff's Stand, Silver Chariot, was powerless.

How did Wang Dong get into the starting team without any special abilities? He must have something really big up his sleeve!

The exact size depends on whether the teams behind can force it out.

Wang Dong herself already had the expression of an old person using a mobile phone on the subway. What kind of hidden abilities could she possibly have?
Does the Haotian Hammer count? But she's not even proficient at the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, and sometimes she even accidentally hits herself.

The Goddess of Light Butterfly is indeed a very good martial soul, a pinnacle of insect-type martial souls, but unfortunately it's practically a rare find this year.

She won as long as she wasn't kicked to death. To this day, she still doesn't know who controlled her body that day to win the selection competition and become a regular member of the team.

This is really bad for her! It's so hard for her to even be a slacker!
Based on the draw results for the next match, they will directly target God's Academy, which is actually a result of behind-the-scenes manipulation by the Star Luo Royal Family.

During the lottery, Huo Yuhao sensed with his mental power that the result should be Shrek Academy versus Star Luo National Academy.

It must have been modified by that Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu. Apart from Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, and other beings with exceptionally strong mental power, no one else noticed anything amiss.

Of course, Huo Yuhao was too lazy to care about these things. It was good that they confronted each other in advance, so he could use Bai E to see if Su Nuo's soul power characteristics had changed.

If someone goes down the wrong path, their soul power will inevitably become tainted with resentment and evil energy. This is almost a fundamental rule of this world, and it may be related to that evil god.

The power of evil cannot escape the test of the ultimate light. Once there are signs on Su Nuo, Huo Yuhao will have Adam quietly clean house.

If not, then let it develop as it is.

…………

The Star Luo Empire is located on an archipelago several hundred kilometers away from Tianxing City.

A palace built entirely of deep-sea driftwood and giant seashells stands in the center of the island.

Centered around this enormous palace, numerous buildings began to be constructed. These buildings were characterized by their simplicity and ease of dismantling, clearly indicating that it was a temporary residence.

Within the base, numerous figures moved about, each one hurrying along, their faces filled with excitement, their eyes gleaming with fighting spirit, eager to engage in a fierce battle.

If a spirit-attribute Soul Master were to probe this place, they would probably be shocked, because everyone here is a Soul Master, and the number of powerful individuals is countless.

It's just a rough estimate, but there are at least seven thousand soul masters here. All of them are surrounded by the aura of the sea, which marks their identity as sea soul masters.

Moreover, a large number of sea spirit beasts guard the archipelago in the ocean, forming a black line of life in the deep sea like an undercurrent.

These sea spirit beasts were commanded by the Sea God family through a divine artifact left behind by the Sea God.

Among these sea spirit beasts are even many beast kings at the level of 100,000 years old, which only shows that the depth of the ocean, which has never been touched by humans, far exceeds the imagination of life on land.

The power that the Sea God family has shown so far is indeed stronger than any other force openly displayed on land.

Even considering that sea spirit beasts cannot go ashore and sea spirit masters' strength on land would be weakened, it would still be enough to completely crush the Douling Empire.

"Chen Lingling".

"The clan chief is looking for you." A burly, bronze-skinned man knocked on the door of a simple house, inside which sat a young girl with long light blue hair and wearing an indigo dress.

Chen Lingling touched her right eye socket, stood up, revealed a sweet smile, and gave the man a slight bow, saying:
"Uncle Ming, what does the clan chief want to see me about?"

The man known as Uncle Ming grinned, revealing a hearty smile, and scratched the back of his head as he said:
"What can happen?"

"Of course, it's to reward you. You are the number one in the Sea God Clan's internal competition, and you are undoubtedly the clan's number one prodigy."

“He’s much more promising than my son. If he had half your talent, I wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to make him a member of the guard.”

"If you have the chance in the future, please help my good-for-nothing son out more."

Chen Lingling's smile remained unchanged, and her voice was lively and energetic.

"of course."

"Brother Huo has always worked very hard, he just lacked the right opportunity. I believe he will find his own opportunity soon."

“I will definitely lend him a hand.”

Upon hearing this, Uncle Ming laughed a few times and said:

"Then we'll have to trouble you. To be honest, none of us expected that such a genius like you could emerge from among us peripheral bloodlines. You really make us proud."

"If you ever lack any resources in the future, just come to me. We'll pool our resources and get them for you!"

"But Lingling, why have you been touching your right eye socket so much lately? A lot of people in the family have started doing it. Is this the latest trend?"

Chen Lingling pondered for a moment and said:
"Habits spread like wildfire, and you'll develop this habit too, Uncle Ming."

"In short, thank you Uncle Ming and everyone for your concern."

"I have nothing to repay you with but to make you become us, and to lead you to godhood together."

The last sentence was what Chen Lingling said silently in her heart: Although Soul Masters on the ocean have numerical values, their mechanics are generally average.

Battles on the high seas are usually straightforward, so encountering a purely mechanical monster like Amon is like meeting a formidable opponent.

Only those with the ability to see through fate can see through Amon's true form. Unfortunately, the Sea God family does not have such talent, not even the Sea God Douluo Chen Hanhai.

Even with his unparalleled strength, he couldn't see through the Time Worm's disguise.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Ming, Chen Lingling walked on the newly built road in the garrison. Many pedestrians greeted her warmly when they saw her.

Everyone now knows about this newest prodigy in the family.

"Is that Chen Lingling? She looks quite pretty. I wonder if we could get to know each other?"

A carefree young man subconsciously touched his right eye socket and said to his companion next to him.

His companion rubbed his right eye and said:
"Come on."

"They're the family's genius, they don't even look at you. Just get back to work, the family's about to make a big move."

Another female companion adjusted her monocle over her right eye and said:

"That's right, let's work hard first, and once we get ashore, we'll have a better life."

"By the way, do you two want a monocle? It's all the rage in the family right now."

The young man who had initially touched his right eye socket was immediately drawn to the monocle; a longing that rose from his very soul made him itch with desire.

"Give me one, I'd be very grateful."

The young man rubbing his right eye socket shook his head and said:
"Forget it, I don't really like monocles."

The female companion, who wore a monocle, took out two monocles from her storage soul tool and handed them to the two of them. Then, she softly said to the young man who refused:
"Take it, just in case you suddenly change your mind in the future."

"If you want a monocle again in the future, you'll have to pay for it."

At the same time, Chen Lingling arrived at the central palace of the residence, ready to meet the high-ranking clan chief.
