Douluo Continent: Original Body Huo Yuhao

The next day, Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, and Gu Qiu'er were taken to the inner courtyard's fighting arena by Zhang Lexuan.

This generation of Shrek Seven Devils is in the process of rebuilding their teamwork, and the most outstanding among them is Ma Xiaotao. She stands in the center of the field, her bright red clothes and fiery red hair fluttering, and with her powerful Phoenix Meteor Shower attacks, she leaves her opponents only able to defend themselves.

Upon seeing Zhang Lexuan and the others approach, the group quickly stopped their sparring.

"Senior Sister."

The others were afraid of the scene a few days ago when Zhang Lexuan beat up Dai Yueheng, so they didn't dare to step forward. Only Ma Xiaotao went up to meet them excitedly.

She was slightly out of breath, and a thin layer of fragrant sweat was seeping from her body.

"Hey, Senior Sister, what brings you here? And Yuhao, hello there too."

Seeing that Ma Xiaotao was indeed able to cultivate normally, Zhang Lexuan was happy for her.

"Xiao Tao, how's your 'evil fire'?"

Mentioning this brought even greater joy to Ma Xiaotao's face.

"The medicine Yuhao gave me is very good. I no longer have to worry about cultivation and combat. Some people in my family have even started cultivating."

The others also heard Ma Xiaotao's words and became puzzled. When they heard that Ma Xiaotao's evil fire had been suppressed, they thought it was that unlucky guy being targeted again, but they didn't expect it to be through some kind of drug.

The group couldn't help but turn their attention to Huo Yuhao, wanting to see who he really was.

"What a handsome young man!" came a shy, coquettish voice.

Before Huo Yuhao could react, Ma Xiaotao flew into a rage: "Gongyang Mo! If you dare to speak to Yuhao in such a disgusting tone again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

The group looked at Ma Xiaotao in surprise. When did this fiery maniac start protecting a man like this? Although this junior was quite handsome, Ma Xiaotao probably wouldn't like this kind of younger brother.

At this moment, the two girls beside Huo Yuhao grabbed his arms, having also seen the effeminate man acting coy. Zhang Lexuan glanced at Gongyang Mo with a fierce look in her eyes, causing him to instantly become quiet.

Gu Yuena transmitted her voice to Huo Yuhao: "This person's martial soul is the Rainbow Dragon."

Huo Yuhao understood; he had read the detailed information about this kind of soul beast. He quickly understood the person, but that was all.

Zhang Lexuan pointed to Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, and Gu Qiu'er and introduced them to the group: "These three are Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, and Gu Qiu'er. They will participate as substitutes for the main team."

"What?!"

The group was taken aback, knowing that the Shrek Seven Devils never had substitutes. Did the academy look down on their abilities by using them as substitutes?

"I disagree! They're at most Soul Venerable level, why should they be considered as substitutes?"

The speaker was Chen Zifeng, who had been in a bad mood these past few days. A few days ago, Zhang Lexuan had inexplicably beaten up Dai Yueheng and then fired him, replacing him with Ma Xiaotao, leaving him completely bewildered.

Although Ma Xiaotao's cultivation level was inferior to Dai Yueheng's, her raw strength was superior. Whether it was to establish her authority or to suppress Chen Zifeng, a teammate who had a good relationship with Dai Yueheng, Ma Xiaotao had been targeting Chen Zifeng these past few days.

It wasn't actually as complicated as Chen Zifeng thought. It was simply because Ma Xiaotao wanted to test her strength, and she was too embarrassed to attack the other five. Ling Luochen was out of the question, and the other four were either support or agility-based attackers, plus a Soul Master, so she could only choose Chen Zifeng.

Upon hearing Chen Zifeng's words, Ma Xiaotao was the first to object. She hadn't witnessed it herself, but she had heard her senior sister mention that Huo Yuhao and the others were no less powerful than ordinary Soul Kings, having skipped two ranks!

Seeing that someone doubted their abilities, Gu Qiu'er couldn't stand it: "If you're not convinced, come and have a match. If you lose, you can get lost."

Seeing Gu Qiu'er provoking him like this, Chen Zifeng could no longer hold back: "Fine! Get on the stage!" He then took the lead and stepped onto the stage.

Gu Qiu'er released Huo Yuhao's arm and leaped onto the arena.

The others didn't stop them either; they also wanted to know just how strong these three were.

Chen Zifeng released his martial spirit, and a slender sword appeared in his hand. It had no hilt, but three blood grooves on its blade, and five standard spirit rings encircled it. At the same time, a murderous aura of mountains of corpses and seas of blood erupted from his body.

Gu Qiu'er also released her martial spirit, golden scales covering her body. Holding the Golden Dragon Spear, three extraordinary spirit rings—purple, black, and purple—floated beneath her feet, and a primal dragon's might surged across the land, instilling fear in Gongyang Mo, who was watching from below the stage.

"This is... the Golden Dragon Martial Soul!" The group was utterly shocked.

This is the legendary Golden Dragon, the ancestor of power. Can such a martial soul really appear in a human? And with those extraordinary soul rings, no one doubts that Gu Qiu'er can defeat an ordinary Soul King.

Chen Zifeng also realized that his opponent was not an ordinary Soul Master. In fact, she might be able to defeat some of his teammates, but she was far from being able to deal with him!

Without wasting words, Gu Qiu'er lit up her first and second soul rings. The Golden Dragon Body and the power of the dragon amplified her already terrifying strength, and she raised her spear to thrust at her opponent.

Gu Qiu'er was incredibly fast, and Chen Zifeng couldn't dodge her attack in time, but he didn't intend to either. Two spirit rings lit up, enhancing the destructive power of the Soul-Chasing Sword, which he then slashed diagonally at the Golden Dragon Spear. He planned to disrupt the attack and take advantage of the opponent's adjustment to make offense and defense easier.

Clang! The sound of gun and sword clashing rang out. Contrary to Chen Zifeng's expectations, the attack did not disrupt the opponent's offensive. The penetrating force of the opponent's strike was fake; it was pressure on the blade! In addition, an extremely domineering soul force invaded Chen Zifeng's arm along the path of the previous strike.

After being trained by Huo Yuhao for so long, Gu Qiu'er naturally understood his intentions. Although Huo Yuhao preferred using swords, he was also a master in the use of other weapons, and he had taught her the characteristics of dueling with different weapons.

Chen Zifeng staggered back a few steps, his sword-wielding hand trembling. But Gu Qiu'er wouldn't wait for him to recover; she thrust her spear at him again. Chen Zifeng could only raise his sword to parry, simultaneously activating his soul ring in an attempt to neutralize the force.

He managed to block the attack, but this time even his sword was deflected. Just as Chen Zifeng was about to raise his hand to retrieve his sword, a golden spear tip was aimed directly at his throat.

Chen Zifeng lost, defeated by Gu Qiu'er in just three moves, without even being able to unleash his true strength. This not only left him utterly dejected, but also made the others watching swallow hard.

You lost.

Seeing that the outcome was decided, Gu Qiu'er put away her golden dragon spear and gracefully walked off the stage.

"I...I..." Chen Zifeng stood there, stunned. He had promised before going on stage that if he lost, he would be kicked out of the starting team, and now he didn't know what to do.

Zhang Lexuan smiled and asked Gu Qiu'er, "Qiu'er, you defeated Chen Zifeng, do you want to take his place?"

"No way!" Gu Qiu'er refused outright. What could be better than being by Yuhao's side during the competition!

Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan said to Chen Zifeng, "Come down, I won't disqualify you."

Chen Zifeng then walked off the stage with a look of shame on his face, never raising his head the entire time.

No one doubted the strength of Huo Yuhao and his two companions anymore.
