Douluo Continent: Starting by controlling the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult

Chapter 67 Another one in bed

When Huo Yuhao and the other two returned to the waiting area, Mu Jin had already arrived and been waiting for them for a long time.

"What's wrong with you three? Why are you so weak? What did you do last night? Why do you always only use your first and second soul skills?" Mu Jin asked, hands on her hips, launching into a barrage of questions.

Huo Yuhao felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't wait to sit down and rest for a while. This lousy academy was organizing a bunch of one-on-one matches, which was incredibly annoying. They still had several matches to play later.

"Teacher Mu, we've already passed the assessment, so there's no need to go all out, right?" Cui Yajie was clearly defending Huo Yuhao. Unlike Xie Huanyue, she was a thoughtful girl. Huo Yuhao was always hiding his true intentions, so he must have his reasons.

"You'd better not let your luck slip away! I heard yesterday that one of the seeded teams from Class 5 has already successfully advanced to the fourth-ring Soul Master level!" Mu Jin was clearly much more nervous than them, especially when she heard that other classes had also produced fourth-ring Soul Masters, she couldn't help but feel worried.

"Alright, I understand." Huo Yuhao patted Cui Yajie's shoulder, dragging his exhausted body to stand in front of her. "Don't worry, we also have a fourth ring. The other teams can't cause any big trouble."

Huo Yuhao's gaze was extremely aggressive, meeting Mu Jin's scrutinizing eyes without the slightest fear. It was a pride and confidence that came from the depths of his soul, not mindless arrogance.

Mu Jin felt a little flustered by his direct gaze, then turned around and walked towards the stands. "Then I'll wait and see. Just don't let the same thing happen again."

Huo Yuhao smiled, turned around and squeezed Cui Yajie's small hand, "Teacher Mu is just like that, she has a very competitive personality."

"Hmm..." Cui Yajie nodded obediently. No matter what, she chose to listen to him.

The later matches were rather dull, with the same tactics as before. Xie Huanyue was the main attacker, Huo Yuhao was responsible for breaking through the opponent's interference and defense, and Cui Yajie would strike from behind. Even though they knew that the Dead Fire Sea team would not change their strategy and would continue to fight like this, the absolute difference in strength still left the remaining opponents helpless, and any tactics seemed pale and powerless.

Are you good at strategizing? What good are your targeted tactics? In a competition, you need solid strength. Any strategy is just a paper tiger in the face of absolute power.

After completing all the matches on the third day, the Deathfire Sea team advanced to the top 64 through the knockout stage with a perfect record.

Among them, a total of four teams maintained an undefeated record: Wang Dong's team, Dai Huabin's team, Ning Tian's team, and Huo Yuhao's Death Fire Sea team.

Mu Jin was overjoyed at this, because two of the teams came from Class 9, which she taught!

That very night, Mu Jin reluctantly called out Ning Tian and the three women, along with the three members of the Dead Fire Sea team, to the best hotel in Shrek City for a big meal.

Normally, a child this age would only eat a few hundred gold soul coins at most during a meal, no matter how good it is, but there's one abnormal one among them!

Although they had heard about Xie Huanyue's amazing appetite, hearing about it and seeing it with their own eyes are two different things. The seven-person dinner ended up with six people watching Xie Huanyue show off his appetite.

Huo Yuhao was speechless. Xie Huanyue had to eat a lot of food to replenish his strength every time he fought. Perhaps only Tang Wulin from the Dragon King Legend era in the original work could rival him?

The meal, consisting of expensive ingredients for seven people, cost over 50,000 gold soul coins, while Xie Huanyue alone consumed food worth over 30,000 gold soul coins.

In the end, Huo Yuhao secretly used the excuse of going to the toilet to pay the bill. He didn't know how much Mu Jin earned in a month at the academy, but he figured it wouldn't exceed the cost of this meal.

For this, Mu Jin glanced at Huo Yuhao with a mixture of gratitude and embarrassment, but Huo Yuhao, being a seasoned lecher, mistook Mu Jin for a flirtatious look and immediately returned an extremely ambiguous expression.

When everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and were about to part ways, Huo Yuhao originally planned to go back to the villa with Ning Tian and the other two women, but found that Cui Yajie insisted on coming along.

"Yuhao, I also want to cultivate with you..." Cui Yajie explained shyly.

"No way!" Ning Tian and the other two women immediately refused. They were joking, as all three of them desperately wanted to have Huo Yuhao, the Emperor's Body, all to themselves. How could they let an outsider who was clearly a rival in love interfere?

However, in the end, in order to build up his own team, Huo Yuhao persuaded the three women for a long time before making an exception and allowing Cui Yajie to come into the villa to sleep on the floor and cultivate together.

As for Xie Huan Yue... let's skip the guy. Even if the four girls agree, Huo Yuhao will kick him out.

When Huo Yuhao returned to the villa that night, after washing up and preparing to go to bed, Ning Tian and the other two women were already waiting for him.

For reasons unknown, the three women were only wearing very thin underwear this time, and the large expanse of their exposed skin radiated an alluring glow. While teasing Huo Yuhao, they also cast a provocative glance at Cui Yajie on the floor.

In terms of martial soul quality alone, Cui Yajie, who had awakened for the second time, was far superior to the three women. She couldn't stand this kind of humiliation, so she immediately threw the mat out the window and pounced on Huo Yuhao, who was lying down.

The four women instantly started wrestling, exchanging blows, and even Huo Yuhao was caught in the crossfire...

Huo Yuhao was both annoyed and helpless. He directly sent a gentle soul impact to each of them, and then stuffed all four women into the specially made huge quilt.

Nothing more was said that night.

The next two days of competition will see the top 64 teams advance to the top 32, then to the top 16, until the top 8 teams are selected.

Although Shrek Academy has always touted itself as fair and just, claiming to give every freshman a chance, the lottery arrangement deliberately avoids the clashes between several seeded teams. With their discerning eye, how could they not see which teams are stronger and more worthy of cultivation?

Therefore, the four seeded teams are unlikely to meet before the semifinals, and the other teams are just stepping stones for them.

When Huo Yuhao's team is at full strength, dealing with other teams can only be described as easy. Just the sight of Xie Huanyue with four ten-thousand-year soul rings is enough to tell you whether they are good or not.

In everyone's eyes, Huo Yuhao and Cui Yajie undoubtedly benefited from Xie Huanyue's influence to reach the top eight. After all, Huo Yuhao, whose Death God Martial Soul only had one spirit ring, was too dazzling. At this stage of the elimination rounds, almost no team still had one spirit ring left.

Only some sharp-eyed students noticed that every time the Death, Fire and Sea team appeared, Huo Yuhao always led the other two onto the field as the main figure. In other words, Huo Yuhao, who appeared to be only one ring, was actually the true core of the three of them.

With the quarterfinals decided, the competition will enter a fierce stage. Each team member is an absolute elite among the new students, and at this point, everyone is extremely eager for the championship.

Soon, the results of the draw came out. Thanks to the back-end manipulation by the academy, the four seeded teams still did not face each other, but instead each played against an unpopular team.

Huo Yuhao took the match schedule from Cui Yajie and his expression immediately turned to surprise. Their opponent in the semi-finals was actually a team from their Class 9.

His classmates knew about his true form, the Spirit Eye, and would definitely take precautions against his terrifying mental strength before the competition.

However, Huo Yuhao has already reached the spiritual power cultivation level of the Spirit Domain Realm. Even though he is limited by the bottleneck of soul power and the constraints of the physical body, he can only exert the soul impact and mental interference of the early stage of the Spirit Abyss Realm at most. But he can still kill some second or third ring minions with one shot.

But if he did that, he would attract a lot of attention from the academy, which was not what he wanted. Xie Huanyue had long been a target of public criticism, and since he had used his first three soul skills to some extent, he was bound to be deliberately targeted.

After hesitating for a long time, Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to Cui Yajie beside him. As a freshman who had just transferred to the class, her classmates knew almost nothing about her.

"Tomorrow it's all up to you, Ya Jie." Huo Yuhao gently patted her shoulder. "Give it your all!"

Cui Yajie was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with joy. She had been holding back for a long time!

Huo Yuhao's words meant that she could truly unleash her full power in battle using the Nine-Tailed Immortal Fox Martial Soul!

"Leave it to me!"

Huo Yuhao turned his gaze back to the list in his hand, and the smile on his face slowly faded. Only Xie Huanyue, who had been paying close attention to his expression, keenly noticed that a barely perceptible trace of hatred flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"The quarterfinals will advance to the semifinals, a showdown between two teams from Class 9 of the freshmen: the Dead Fire Sea team: Huo Yuhao, Xie Huanyue, and Cui Yajie. And the Earth-Shattering team: Cheng Zhangan, Gu Xiaoli, and Pei Xiaoqi."

This chapter is coming to an end soon. The author is also having a headache over this annoying match in the original work. As a Shrek freshman, I can't avoid this ordeal. I've omitted everything that can be omitted. I have to fight Dai Huabin. I have to settle my score.
