Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

At this moment, upon hearing Wu Changkong's words, Xie Xie and the other three, along with Xu Xiaoyan, all thought the same thing:

Five of us can take on two of them!?

Of course, they had different reasons for having this idea—

Xu Xiaoyan looked bewildered. She felt that since they were classmates, five against two... wasn't that a bit too much of a bullying tactic?

As for Xie Xie and the other three, their expressions all froze in unison, and they cried out in their hearts:

Are you kidding me? Five of them against two is just too much!

Dealing with Huo Yuhao, a level 35 monster, is already tough enough, and Teacher Wu actually allows him to bring a "playmate"?

This is clearly a fish-poaching game!

Compared to Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, and Wei Xiaofeng all looked better.

Previously, only Xie Xie—who had become closer to Huo Yuhao and the other four after their chance encounter at the Silent Beef Shop—had personally witnessed them sparring with each other in private at the training ground.

As the young master of the Xie family in Donghai City, Xie Xie considered himself to have a broad perspective, having witnessed many battles between powerful Soul Masters.

Even so, when Xie Xie witnessed Huo Yuhao and his group of five fighting, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart:

You're telling me, these are a bunch of second- or third-ring Soul Masters??

On the other side, Huo Yuhao secretly transmitted his thoughts to Wu Changkong:

"Teacher Wu, do you think it would be better for us to finish this quickly, or to hold back a bit and have a more balanced match?"

Wu Changkong: "..."

Huo Yuhao's words sounded arrogant, but he knew that the child in front of him, who had reached the third-ring Soul Master level at the age of eight and could create his own unique skills, did indeed have the right to be arrogant.

After a brief silence, Wu Changkong replied with a helpless tone:

"Just end the battle quickly, as quickly as possible. The purpose of letting you fight is to let them fully see the gap between you and them. A back-and-forth battle is meaningless."

This will give them greater motivation during future training.

"receive."

Huo Yuhao understood, turned to look at his four companions, and then asked:

"Anyone want to come with me?"

"Hehe, Yuhao, just pick one~ I don't really like bullying kids." Meng Hongchen lowered her voice and smiled slyly.

Like Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen also had little interest in "fish frying".

Only when he defeats a strong opponent does Xiao Hongchen feel comfortable gloating.

"I'll do it, Yuhao."

Ye Guyi took a step forward, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

She didn't mean to bully weaker opponents; she just found the thought of fighting alongside Huo Yuhao incredibly appealing.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena, who had originally wanted to fight alongside Huo Yuhao, suddenly felt a little frustrated.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena pursed her lips almost imperceptibly.

Her face remained calm, but Huo Yuhao still caught a glimpse of the fleeting disappointment.

"I just asked the dance teacher, and he told us to finish this quickly, Miss Gu," Huo Yuhao thoughtfully reminded her telepathically.

Gu Yuena's eyes brightened slightly, and a smile quietly appeared as she looked at him: "So that's how it is, I understand."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had chosen his partner, Wu Changkong nodded, then turned to Xie Xie and the others, whose faces were contorted with bitterness, and Xu Xiaoyan, who was still clueless and full of questions:

"The five of you should first familiarize yourselves with each other's abilities, and then the battle will begin in two or three minutes."

"...Okay, teacher." Xie Xie's reply sounded like he was about to be executed.

He really can't take being tortured...

So, after the five of them huddled together looking at each other, Xu Xiaoyan sensed that something was off about the atmosphere, so she tentatively asked in a low voice:

"Um...excuse me, why do you all look so scared?"

Xie Xie took a deep breath and decided to reveal the cruel truth to this poor transfer student:

"See those five people standing over there?"

Xu Xiaoyan followed his gaze and, upon seeing Huo Yuhao and his group of five, nodded with some confusion: "I saw them."

"Alright. Then I'll tell you, among the five people standing over there, the lowest cultivation level is at least level twenty-six."

"Oh...wait, level 26!?"

Xu Xiaoyan responded instinctively at first, then suddenly realized what she meant and exclaimed in surprise.

That's not all, thanks to Wei Xiaofeng beside him for silently adding insult to injury:

"Not only that... The boy in our class who shares the same name as that great man from ten thousand years ago—that is, Huo Yuhao, whom we will be facing later—is already a three-ring Soul Master with a Soul Power of level thirty-five, and his Martial Soul is a Spirit-type Body Martial Soul."

Xu Xiaoyan was completely stunned, opening her mouth to speak: "..."

Dad, come pick me up and take me home! I don't want to fight these monsters!

Is it because she has never attended a Soul Master Academy and has never witnessed a genius that she is so shocked by this?

Is this right? This can't be right!

After learning this cruel truth, Xu Xiaoyan was moved to tears and wished she could escape this terrible class immediately.

"Actually, there's no need to be too nervous," Wang Jinxi sighed, trying to comfort everyone. "Teacher Wu knows their strength. Since we've been arranged to fight, it's okay if we lose badly. Just do our best."

"That's right! No matter how strong they are, there are still five of us!" Zhang Yangzi encouraged them.

Zhang Yangzi couldn't help but realize that there were, after all, five of them.

Maybe we can put up a fight against those two monsters!

"...That makes sense." Xu Xiaoyan recovered from her shock, remembering the saying "many hands make light work," and a fighting spirit ignited within her. "Then, in preparation for the upcoming battle, let's get to know each other's abilities first!"

Thus, apart from Xie Xie, who had already resigned himself to his fate after witnessing the "battle of the gods" and whose face was ashen, the other four regained their spirits and quickly began exchanging information about their respective martial souls and soul skills.

"Sigh, ignorance is bliss..."

After hastily introducing his abilities, Xie Xie calmly and resignedly awaited the impending "tragedy."

Of course, Xie Xie could understand why they still had the fighting spirit burning in their hearts at this moment.

If he hadn't witnessed the monsters' battle firsthand, someone as proud as him would probably have thought of gathering the strength of the five of them and giving it his all.

Three minutes passed quickly.

After Xie Xie and his five companions were ready, Wu Changkong led Gu Yuena and the Hongchen siblings to the sidelines, leaving the other seven to stand in two teams on either side of the training field.

"Ye'er, I just asked Teacher Wu, and he wants us to go all out and end the battle quickly—or as quickly as possible. He has really high expectations for us."

As Huo Yuhao strolled leisurely toward the side of the training field, he whispered a teasing remark to Ye Guyi.

Ye Guyi tilted her head slightly: "So, Yuhao, what are your thoughts?"

"Yes, I can." Huo Yuhao smiled slightly. "Let's each take one hit. I'll subdue them with one strike, and you finish the fight with one... Is that alright, Ye'er?"

"No problem," Ye Guyi replied readily.

Seeing that both sides were ready, Wu Changkong glanced intently at Huo Yuhao and Ye Guyi's direction, then shouted, "Begin!"
