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

Chapter 473 "Curse your pathetic fate of not having a Spirit Eye!"

After a long pause, Xu Jiu stared at Huang Dulang, who had been carried to the old healer's face, lost in thought. He then looked at his teammates and asked, "Does anyone else want to challenge him to a one-on-one duel?"

"If you're going to do it, do it now."

Except for one blonde girl, all the other teammates took a step back and shielded her in front of them.

The blonde girl didn't react for a moment. Seeing her teammate retreat so quickly, she also quickly retreated. She pointed to herself with a wronged expression and said, "Royal sister, I'm just a half-support Soul King, so I'm not going up. My style is completely different from his."

The girl's name is Xu Nuoer, Xu Jiujiu's younger sister and Xu Yun'er's older sister. Her martial soul is also Star Crown. She is very lucky to have encountered the Soul Spirit Era.

Thanks to the royal family's immense wealth, her fourth and fifth spirit rings were both contracted with star-sky spirit beasts, fully preserving her bloodline and evolving her martial spirit origin.

The Star Crown is subtly evolving into a scepter, possessing two forms: the Star Crown form leans more towards support, while the scepter form leans more towards control.

If nothing unexpected happens, she should have some connection with Xu Xiaoyan's family ten thousand years later. It's just unclear whether her not-yet-fully-evolved martial soul can exhibit the characteristic of astrological attributes being absolutely valid.

The absolute validity of astrological attributes is the strongest ability of the control system. Regardless of the difference in strength, the control skill will definitely control the opponent for one second. The only condition is that the opponent is below the god level.

Even a lowly Soul Master at level 10 or so can find an opportunity to control a Limit Douluo for a second, an effect that is incredibly powerful.

Looking at the retreating crowd, he remained silent for a long time. They weren't like the Haotian Sect and the Body Sect, who knew they were no match but still went up to get whipped.

After thinking it over, Xu Jiujiu felt that it wouldn't be very dignified to admit defeat at this point. Although he was guaranteed to advance to the quarterfinals, it didn't mean he could just give up like this.

After entering the quarterfinals, there will be a few days of rest. During this time, as long as you are not killed, the Healer Granny can heal you.

Since she wasn't the one going to fight anyway, Xu Jiujiu immediately raised her hand and said, "Xingluo National Academy forfeits the individual battle and prepares for a team battle."

Huo Zhanji had only played one individual match. If he conceded at this point, the opponent would not be able to win through an absolute score difference and would have to rely on a team battle to secure the final score.

Ripples spread across the arena as the torn metal surface from the earlier battle began to be repaired and smoothed out. Zheng Zhan, standing in the center of the arena, immediately announced the decision made by the Star Luo National Academy.

"In the individual battle, Xilu City Research Institute wins. Both players, get ready. The team battle will begin in one minute!"

'

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Xu Jiujiu glanced at the team members behind her, signaling them not to lose face and to all go up there, even if they had to die, they had to die gloriously.

The group exchanged glances, feeling grateful to Xu Jiujiu for giving them this opportunity. However, she was, after all, a princess and the leader, and their orders could not be disobeyed.

Captain Zhang Lei was the first to step onto the competition stage. He was tall and had a calm demeanor. It was as if lava was flowing under his skin, and hot air surged with every breath.

Huo Zhanji's mind instantly flashed through his information: Captain Zhang Lei, whose martial soul is the Demon-Slaying Blade, a top-tier fire-attribute weapon martial soul, and whose cultivation level is a level 66 Soul Emperor, a very high level.

The other team members also went on stage one by one, and relevant information flashed through his mind.

Li Zixuan, Martial Soul Tyrant Tiger, a powerful attack-type beast martial soul, cultivation level 61.

Xu Nuoer, Martial Soul Star Crown, Support and Control type, cultivation level 52.

Shi Feng, whose martial soul is the Devouring Dragon, is also known as the Mini Tyrannosaurus Rex. He is a top-tier earth dragon, with a status similar to or even slightly stronger than the Rouge Dragon.

The guy who's getting special attention is a power-attack type Soul Master, level 59.

Ye Qianqian's martial soul is a seven-colored bracelet. She is a support-type soul master, a complete novice, and her level is 57.

Xi Man, whose martial soul is the Southern Wind Qiang Flute, is a control-type soul master. She has appeared too few times, so there is insufficient information about her. Her mental strength is detected at level 56.

At this point, the remaining six people from the Star Luo National Academy stood before Huo Zhanji, forming a lineup of two Soul Emperors and four Soul Kings, which could be described as extremely luxurious.

In previous editions, Shrek Academy might not have been a match for them, but with the promotion of Dream Coins now, they can only be considered a top-tier lineup in the competition, not a super-top-tier lineup.

Team captain Zhang Lei's face darkened when he saw that Huo Zhanji was still the only member of the Xilu City Research Academy. He said in an unfriendly tone, "Are you the only one in the team battle?"

"Aren't you being a bit too presumptuous?"

Even if six pigs were rolling around on the stage, it would still take this guy quite a while to catch them, right? One person taking on six people at once—they, Star Luo National Academy, are no weak team. Aren't they afraid of losing?

Huo Zhanji ignored him, turned to look at Gu Qiu'er, and Gu Qiu'er asked him, "Should we send someone on stage?"

Xing was itching to get started. "Old Ji, if you don't like it, I'll go with you and show them what the amazing Tumble Garden Club jump looks like."

In front of Gu Qiu'er, who was like a mother to him, Huo Zhanji would never say no. Even if his old friend Bi Deng came, he would not dare to say no.

"Sister Xing, there's no need. You should rest. I'll handle it."

Huo Zhanji twisted his neck and stretched his muscles, making a snapping sound. His short black hair swayed slightly, and a strong fighting spirit ignited in his black eyes.

"Hehe, I'm going to take on ten!"

A minute passed in the blink of an eye. Zheng Zhan, regardless of how many people had come from both sides, stood at the edge of the field and loudly announced, "The match begins!"

The sound acted like a switch, and the Star Luo National Academy team immediately formed a triangular formation, demonstrating their well-trained nature.

The dazzling spirit rings shone brightly on one side of the arena, even more dazzling than the sunlight for a moment. The audience held their breath, as this was the first time in this competition that a single person had taken on an entire team in a team battle.

Huo Zhanji's face lit up with an excited smile. Sister Xing, Sister Qiu, his own older sister, and his father in this world were all watching. It would be embarrassing if he messed up.

The Spirit Eye activated its mental detection directly, without even releasing its spirit rings; it was almost an instinctive reaction.

The opponent's every move is clearly visible. It's not just that the Spirit Eye is overpowered; just one mental detection skill is equivalent to a combination of the Sharingan and the Byakugan.

His intense emotions made his mental energy particularly restless, because he was the child of the god of emotions, and he was different from ordinary people in this respect.

The heightened spiritual power caused all the cells in the body to rub against each other intensely, and the body's own magnetic field began to influence the external magnetic field, with the force of the rotating magnetic field swirling around the body.

He braced himself with his hands on the ground, bent his front leg, and then kicked off with his back leg. The powerful force shattered the arena behind him, sending countless metal fragments flying.

Before the rubble could even fall, Xi Man's pupils shrank. The Southern Wind Qiang Flute was actually a detection-type martial soul. The surrounding wind warned her the moment the opponent moved that a prehistoric behemoth was charging towards her!

"Watch out!! It's coming!"

A melodious flute tune rang out, invigorating everyone's spirits, while an invisible wind reminded them of the direction from which their opponents were approaching.

Shi Feng, who devoured the Dragon Martial Soul, was covered in dark blue scales, and his head was much larger than that of an ordinary person, with a mouthful of sharp fangs that gleamed with an eerie light.

He opened his blood-red maw and bit in one direction. According to Xi Man's detection results, the other party should be here.

However, in terms of detection, the Spirit Eye is the strongest martial soul, and the results of Xi Man's detection were all things that Huo Zhanji wanted her to know.

"Black Tiger Claws Out the Heart!"

After Huo Zhanji appeared, he tilted his body to the side, dodging the gaping maw, and then clenched his hands to strike Shi Feng's chest. The dark blue scales immediately made a crisp cracking sound.

Even with the Devouring Dragon's unparalleled defense, Shi Feng was momentarily stunned as pain overwhelmed his mind.

"Mount Tai pressing down!" It wasn't over yet. With the help of his powerful legs, the strong figure flew into the sky and began to fall rapidly with the help of gravity, his legs assuming a flying kick stance.

"Elephant kicks!"

"Two dragons playing with a pearl!"

Before Shi Feng could react, a tremendous force came from the massive head, and his entire body fell to the ground.

Huo Zhanji straddled him, hooking two fingers together and thrusting them towards the top of his eyes, temporarily cutting off his vision.

In a real fight, this "Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl" attack would target the eyes.

This combination of techniques may seem like a lot, but it is actually all completed within one second. With the help of the Spirit Eye's observation, every movement is efficient and without any unnecessary actions.

By the time Zhang Lei and the others realized what was happening, Shi Feng had already fallen asleep.

Suddenly, a ferocious giant blade burning with raging flames slashed horizontally toward Huo Zhanji's head. Zhang Lei was already furious.

"Ha, like a jackal pouncing on a rabbit, a snake-like step!" Huo Zhanji leaped up to dodge the attack, his agility unlike that of a power attacker. He moved with strange steps toward Xu Nuoer, Xi Man, and Ye Qianqian.

"Don't even think about it! Fourth Soul Skill! Overlord Slash! Third Soul Skill! Hunter's Light Strike!"

Li Zixuan roared, and the tiger's roar stirred up air currents. His broad tiger paws, carrying the aura of dominating the mountains and forests, slammed towards Huo Zhanji, while white light waves gathered in his mouth.

"Lie down obediently! Fifth Soul Skill! Crimson Flame Demon-Sealing Fang!"

Zhang Lei's flaming blade arrived in an instant, its surging flames transforming into a gigantic maw of the abyss, devouring the space itself.

The air in the arena became extremely hot as two Soul Emperor-level offensive Soul Masters blocked Huo Zhanji's escape route.

Normal Soul Masters would have already conceded defeat in this situation, but in the face of mental detection, their attacks were full of flaws!

The scene was quite chaotic, but the scattered soul power and disorganized coordination resulted in an effect where the sum of its parts was less than the sum of its parts, despite the extremely powerful attack.

But then again, with his spiritual eyes and magnetic field, victory was inevitable. He could only blame himself for not having those eyes.

The Spirit Eyes granted him immense spiritual power, and the rotation of the magnetic field allowed him to acquire a physical body capable of keeping up with those eyes!

The Eye of God and the Body of God merged into one! Such overwhelming power could single-handedly overthrow the entire world. It was as if Huo Zhanji had eyes in his back; his brain quickly processed the situation, and his body reacted almost simultaneously.

His leg muscles contracted, his entire skeleton snapped together as if they were one, he squatted down, and his reaction speed was extremely fast. The flaming blade and tiger paw crossed overhead.

Jinbaqiang's power gathered in his legs, and his soul power and magnetic field power began to intertwine. A sweeping leg swept out like a long whip.

"This move is called 'Scythe Sweep'!"

The terrifying force caused their leg bones to groan, and for a moment they were unable to control their bodies, tilting to either side.

Huo Zhanji grinned, revealing a healthy smile, and shouted, "Rising Dragon Fist!"

The fist, as big as a clay pot, compressed the air, creating dazzling shockwaves in the sunlight. The magnetic field power is quite idealistic, after all, its essence is a product of mental power influencing reality.

Zhang Lei and Li Zixuan raised their heads, rolled their eyes, and began to fly vertically upwards.

Huo Zhanji didn't have time to let the two of them experience weightlessness. His thick arms grabbed their legs and slammed them hard into the ground. The powerful impact created a large crater in the ground.

The two Soul Emperors were slammed to the ground like windmills, the "bang bang bang" sounds echoing throughout the arena. The craters on the ground grew larger and larger, and many soft-hearted spectators couldn't help but look away.

"Chains of the Stars!"

"One Colorful Soul!"

"Tricolor Speed!"

The chains, shimmering with starlight, pierced through the air and hurtled towards Huo Zhanji, who was trying to snatch the windmill. His mental power had already locked onto these three weaklings.

He threw Zhang Lei to the ground and suddenly swung Li Zixuan in his hand. His Tyrant Tiger had not yet disintegrated, so it was quite easy to wield.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

The Star Chains were directly dispersed, and the fragments of the chains turned into specks of light in the air. Li Zixuan suddenly convulsed, clearly indicating that he had been controlled.

Huo Zhanji also felt the binding sensation. His eyes narrowed as he remembered the absolute control over his existence in space and time—a deadly technique used to deceive people.

"A goldfish wags its tail! A tiger kills two sheep!"

He glanced at Li Zixuan in his hand with some reluctance. In terms of both hardness and flexibility, this guy was a top choice, but unfortunately, he had to be sacrificed for the sake of victory.

With a sudden swing of his arm, Li Zixuan's body transformed into a boomerang, resembling a blue spearman spinning and charging forward, much like the panicked eyes of Xu Nuoer and Ye Qianqian.

With a deafening roar and shockwave as the air was rapidly swept away, a powerful impact slammed into the two girls.

Two support-oriented Soul Masters couldn't withstand such torment and immediately went to enjoy themselves.

The three rolled on the ground and crashed into the soul guidance barrier. Xi Man looked at the three people piled up next to her, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

Huo Zhanji came to her, his tall figure blocking out the sunlight, and the girl trembled in the shadows.

"The lion hunts the rabbit."

The large hand pressed down on her head, startling the girl so much that she fainted.

In the distance, Shi Feng, the Devouring Dragon Soul Master, finally woke up. He vaguely remembered that two Jiahaos, one in black and one in white, wanted to take him somewhere to enjoy himself.

Huo Zhanji suddenly turned around, leaped high into the air, and shouted his final move: "Crow Takes Flight!"

Shi Feng stared at the rapidly enlarging shadow on the ground, still a little dazed. Suddenly, he remembered that it seemed to be a competition. He turned around and saw a muscular man flying towards him with his legs tucked in and his arms outstretched.

That demeanor sent a chill down Shi Feng's spine; he had already prepared his last words.

A powerful knee slammed into his face, denting the dark blue scales. He fell back asleep, probably back to talk to the two Jiahaos.

The arena fell silent. Huo Zhanji calmed himself down, his cells stopped rubbing together, and his mental energy returned to tranquility.

The system that the fathers of this world study is excellent in every way, except that it requires maintaining high spirits and unwavering will at all times.

To maintain this state, he has gotten into the habit of shouting out the name of each move, which not only boosts morale but also intimidates his opponents.

In the realm of the gods, this worked wonders. The humans who followed him were also learning his fighting style, which made him very gratified.

In the future, I will ask my father if he can share the seeds of magnetic field power with them so that they can experience this powerful force together!

Looking at his fallen teammates from the Star Luo National Academy, Zheng Zhan sighed and said, "The Xilu City Research Academy wins!"
