Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 210 Huo Yuhao's Attempt to Cheat

"So he's waiting for the other side to launch an attack, and then using that attack to launch a counterattack?"

Di Ni'er tilted her head and looked at Xu Yang.

"That's right, it seems you haven't wasted your time learning from your sister Lexuan these past few days."

Xu Yang's claws ruffled Di Ni'er's smooth, long golden hair again.

"You—let go."

Di Ni'er was a little angry.

Then he began to complain quietly to the ground.

"You're such a person, what have you been doing behind our backs and with Sister Lexuan's back all day long?"

"Even when I ask you to go out and play, you say you don't have time. If you keep doing this, I'm going to tell Sister Gu Yue on you."

Di Ni'er also realized that among everyone, only Gu Yuena and Zhang Lexuan were truly capable of controlling Xu Yang. However, the latter was now on the same side as Xu Yang, so she had no choice but to choose the other side.

Xu Yang and Zhang Lexuan exchanged a glance, and he noticed that Zhang Lexuan's ears were bright red.

Given their intimate relationship, where they both knew each other's strengths and weaknesses, Xu Yang understood that Zhang Lexuan was shy.

However, before Xu Yang could change the subject, Xu Sanshi on stage made a move.

He first released his third soul skill, Xuanming Power, to activate his Xuanwu bloodline, and then used his first soul skill, Xuanming Shock, to reflect back all of Yang Yifan's and Yan'er's soul skills.

This series of actions actually knocked Yang Yifan and Yan'er off the stage.

After that, Xu Sanshi's forehead was slightly sweaty, clearly indicating that he had just used a lot of strength.

This rekindled the confidence of viewers who had previously been disappointed with Shrek Academy.

Shrek is still Shrek.

Despite its millennia-old heritage and numerous past embarrassments, it still attracts many admirers.

When Xu Sanshi returned to Shrek Academy's preparation area, even Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but praise him a few more times.

"They truly deserve to be our twin stars from the School of Foreign Languages."

"Let's fight like this, and show the spirit of Shrek Academy!"

The others also began to praise him, and even Jiang Nannan's gaze towards Xu Sanshi was no longer so cold.

Unfortunately, no one present noticed that the hint of inferiority in Huo Yuhao's eyes had become so strong that it was almost impossible to erase.

"This person—is so despicable."

After racking his brains for a long time, Di Ni'er finally came up with this adjective.

Xu Yang also gave a detached evaluation.

"But—we must also admit that this is also a kind of combat wisdom, isn't it?"

"Using the least cost to achieve the best result—that's the essence of his battle, and it's what you need to learn most right now."

"Xu Sanshi might be able to defeat the two of them head-on, but it would never be as easy as it is now."

"By doing this, he not only fulfilled his own wishes, but also the wishes of Shrek Academy, and satisfied the audience who were eager for Shrek's glory. He won by a landslide."

"So, you admire his approach?"

Seeing that Xu Yang spoke highly of her, Di Ni'er asked him a question in return.

No—quite the opposite.

"It's fine to use such clever tricks in normal times, but in a life-or-death battle, do you think you can win by relying on them?"

"Then he'd better pray that he's lucky, or that he's as dim-witted as those two students from Zhengtian Academy."

"So—start improving yourself steadily, young lady!"

As Xu Yang spoke, he handed over a piece of pastry.

Di Ni'er was stunned for a moment, then swallowed it whole with a "whoosh".

She couldn't quite understand it, but she simply stopped thinking about it. After all, even if the sky fell, Xu Yang would be there to hold it up.

This was the only thought in her mind at that moment.

Xu Yang knew that his lecturing seemed to have no positive effect, so he could only exchange a wry smile with Zhang Lexuan opposite him.

While they were flirting on one side, on the other side of the arena, both sides had already sent out new crickets.

Shrek Academy fielded Bei Bei and He Cai Tou, while Zheng Tian Academy sent out Yu Meng Di and Shangguan Can.

Zhengtian Academy was overjoyed; they had gambled correctly once again.

In the second match, Shrek Academy did not send out another Soul Emperor to directly kill the game, so they still had a chance to advance to the third match.

This is also the game in which they have the best chance of winning out of the three matches.

After all, a Soul King plus a Soul Master, in terms of sheer combat power, is far stronger than two Soul Masters.

As the Soul King of the Angelic Martial Soul, Yu Mengdi is a top performer among the same level of offensive type in terms of combat power.

"That Soul Master with the Angelic Martial Soul you've been watching is on the field, why aren't you watching?"

Di Ni'er gently poked Xu Yang's shoulder with her finger, her tone filled with doubt. Although she was puzzled, she followed Xu Yang's gaze to the Shrek Academy's preparation area.

With her exceptional mental strength, Di Ni'er discovered a clue.

On Shrek Academy's preparation bench, Huo Yuhao was secretly activating his first soul skill, just like a thief.

This was a spur-of-the-moment decision, made to prove that he wasn't a good-for-nothing, but a true genius capable of inheriting Shrek's glory.

As his senior brothers, Beibei and He Caitou naturally had the best interests at heart for their junior brother.

And he didn't want to lose either. As the most authentic and purest Shrek Academy member present, he didn't want to suffer a defeat in the Soul Master Competition. If he did, his great-grandfather would be very sad.

With Huo Yuhao's shared mental detection, his and He Caitou's combat power can be increased by at least 50%.

Huo Yuhao was extremely cautious, as he was afraid that his shared mental detection ability would be discovered.

But for some reason, the thought that he could continue Shrek's glory made the slight fear that had just risen in his heart disappear without him realizing it.

Perhaps this is the glory of Shrek Academy.

Xu Yang leaned close to Di Ni'er's ear, and the two looked at each other from a distance, their voices carrying a hint of intimacy.

Zhang Lexuan's gaze remained fixed on the two of them, looking at them tenderly without saying a word.

The match between the two sides has now begun.

"I've generously provided a soul tool for this Soul Master Competition that can shield against mental energy. It can be used to block out any external soul techniques that detect mental energy—"

"At that time—"

Di Ni'er understood Xu Yang's meaning.

Although she didn't understand Xu Yang's deeper meaning, she knew that he must have his reasons for doing so.

As if to verify Xu Yang's words, Huo Yuhao, who was sitting on the Shrek Academy's preparation seat, was struck by lightning and fell straight down.

Huo Yuhao has fallen into a coma again!

The speed was so fast that even Yan Shaozhe didn't have time to react.

At the same time, the entire arena was enveloped by a blood-red protective shield.

This sudden turn of events naturally caused an uproar among the audience, while the referee on stage was also stunned and at a loss for what to do.

However, at this moment, he remembered the soul tool that Xu Jiawei had specially given him this morning, and His Majesty had told him to pay more attention to it.

The referee first stopped the fight between the two sides, and then took out the soul tool.

Sure enough, there was a red dot flashing on that thing.

He began to wander around, and the closer he got to Shrek Academy, the more frequently the red dot flashed, and the faster his heart pounded.

He discovered the truth!
