Huo Yuhao from The Peerless Tang Sect is incredibly talented.

On the morning of the day the Body Sect went to Shrek Academy to challenge them.

Poison Immortal summoned a golden auspicious cloud, leading everyone to Shrek Academy.

Zen Cloud was gleaned from the information provided by Huo Yuhao. Although the cultivation system in Douluo Continent isn't particularly advanced, the comprehension of any Super Douluo should never be underestimated.

Except for Xuanzi.

Why not just tear through space and go? It's too low-class to make such a grand entrance for so many people.

Huo Yuhao and Du Busi had already planned how to make their entrance, giving the Douluo cultivators a little spectacle.

Huo Yuhao has his own evaluation system for classifying cultivators.

Lower cultivation refers to those who possess a cultivation method sufficient to reach the root of the local world, or those with a resilient mind and a firm Dao heart, possessing any one of these qualities but with low cultivation level.

To be considered a superior cultivator, one must possess powerful cultivation, a steadfast Dao heart, and a cultivation system that aligns with one's own beliefs. Only by possessing all three of these qualities can one be called a superior cultivator.

Those who do not meet the above two criteria are classified as miscellaneous cultivators.

Above the auspicious cloud that could not be killed by poison, everyone sat at a stone table listening to Huo Yuhao's pre-battle instructions.

"Draw lots".

"Seven sticks, three long and four short." Huo Yuhao tapped the bamboo sticks with his finger. "Draw a long one, you win. Draw a short one, you lose."

Long Aotian frowned. "Young Sect Master, are you asking us to deliberately lose?" The other members of the younger generation of the Body Sect also looked puzzled.

After all, everyone had been trained to the point of near death for the past ten days or so, all eagerly awaiting the match against Shrek Academy, where they would showcase their prowess.

Now the young sect leader is actually letting them lose the match?

This is no less grueling than studying hard in your senior year of high school across four provinces, only to have your family tell you on the day of the college entrance exam that you can't take it.

Everyone was very confused.

"It wasn't intentional; it was controlled." Huo Yuhao corrected him, his tone calm.

"What I want is a loss. You can do whatever you want with the process, whether you play around or crush me."

Meanwhile, Gu Tong, who was standing to the side, saw through everything through the information that Huo Yuhao had previously sent her.

Gu Tong knew that sometimes, certain things seemed so real yet so unbelievable that people refused to believe them.

Chen Lu frowned: "Young Sect Master, since it is your request, we will certainly comply, but we have been training for more than ten days and died so many times, we really don't understand."

"Yeah, this is so uncomfortable."

"Yes, Attorney Chen is right."

Others echoed his sentiments.

Only Vina, who was with Huo Yuhao and Du Busi back then, knew about this.

Huo Yuhao glanced at them. "Because winning all of them wouldn't benefit us. Think about it, a sect that has been hidden away for hundreds of years makes its first appearance and beats the Shrek Seven Devils, who haven't lost the championship in ten thousand years, 7 to 0. When the news gets out, what will people's first reaction be? It's fake, absolutely fake."

"Our purpose in going to challenge Shrek Academy this time is not to actually fight them, but to gain fame and make the Body Sect famous first."

"As for demonstrating your strength, the Youth Soul Master Competition is in a few months. Where will you go to compete? I've taken care of the formalities."

Vina's eyes lit up. The Heavenly Soul Empire Royal Academy had won, which would surely bring many talented people back to Heavenly Soul.

The thought of this made Vina grin foolishly.

Huo Yuhao glanced at Vina and shook his head. Silly girl, she probably still thinks I'll be competing under the name of the Heavenly Soul Empire Royal Academy. How naive.

Then, he pushed the bamboo skewers in front of everyone.

"Losing four games and winning three. We must lose in a way that makes everyone feel sorry for us, and winning in a way that leaves everyone speechless. In this way, Shrek Academy's reputation is preserved, and the strength of the Body Sect is also revealed. What they will remember is not that Shrek Academy defeated the Body Sect, but that the Body Sect almost defeated Shrek Academy. The words 'almost' will be remembered more vividly than 'won'."

Chen Lu stared at the seven bamboo skewers, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Young Sect Master, what's wrong with your head?"

Huo Yuhao tapped the table. "Stop talking nonsense and draw lots quickly."

Long Aotian was the first to reach out and draw one of the seven bamboo sticks. He flipped it over—a short stick. His lips twitched. Chen Yu was second, flipping it over—a short stick. Wang Yanfeng simply nodded silently when he drew a short stick. Gu Tong rubbed his hands together and flipped it over—a short stick. Four short sticks were drawn in one go.

Chen Lu looked at the long slip of paper in his hand, then at the short slips of paper in the hands of the other four people, and opened his mouth. "No, you guys have such bad luck."

"Luck doesn't matter," Huo Yuhao interrupted him. "Who wins or loses doesn't matter; what matters is how you lose and how you win."

"You can fight until the whole audience thinks you're going to win, and then in the last round, you lose to him. You lose by just one move, and he himself feels like he barely won."

"Or." Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile as he said this.

"You can flirt and mock your opponents on stage, but they'll be completely helpless against you and gracefully admit defeat and leave the stage."

"It can also be done in an extremely exaggerated performance style, fighting so fake that the audience feels you are definitely acting like me." See the battle between Bu Yao Bi Lian and Feng Bao Bao in Under One Person.

No one uttered a sound, but they all muttered to themselves how wicked and mischievous the young sect leader was.

This is even more frustrating than winning against Shrek outright. You could have won decisively, but you put on an act instead.

It's one thing to act, but to treat the audience like idiots is another.

Young Sect Master, you are truly amazing.

Just as everyone was discussing the outcome, they arrived at Shrek City.

In Shrek City.

The arena at the entrance of Shrek Academy was packed with people from early morning, with the stands full of people and even the aisles filled with people.

The giant projection soul tool above the arena floated in mid-air, and the light blue light magnified every blade of grass and tree on the arena several times, projecting it into the entire Shrek Academy airspace.

The entire city could see it. The murmurs of the crowd surged up like a tide, reaching the edge of the arena, where they were silently absorbed by the soul power circulation, leaving a quiet arena for the competition.

This soul guidance technology was sponsored by a mysterious person who wishes to remain anonymous.

Amazing wisdom, yes, it's the one I gave to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

At the same time, this scene was also broadcast live above Tiandou City, reflected in the virtual world.

Compared to other places where people believed Shrek Academy would win, the vast majority of people in Tiandou City clearly hoped that the Body Sect would win.

After all, they knew that everything they had now was given to them by Huo Yuhao, the city lord of Tiandou City and the young sect master of the Body Sect.

The Shrek Academy students took their seats on the east side of the arena. Yan Shaozhe sat at the front, Qian Duoduo sat next to him, and Xuanzi sat directly on the railing.

As for Moon, he disguised himself as an elderly man, hiding in the audience and observing his surroundings.

Xian Lin'er sat in the back row, her eyes fixed on the projection soul tool above the arena, never looking away since she sat down.

The Body Sect has arrived.

A ray of golden light gradually filled the sky, and after the golden light spread out, there was a cloud. The cloud was not large, but it drifted in from the horizon at an extremely fast speed, faster than a cloud would.

A figure stood atop the clouds. He was a burly man, none other than Poison Undying. His hands were behind his back, and his robes fluttered in the fierce winds of the high sky.

Behind him, seven figures stood in a row amidst the clouds. They were the younger generation of the Body Sect.

The clouds hovered a hundred feet above the arena.

Poison Immortal lowered his head, his gaze sweeping over the hundred-foot-high sky and landing on the faces of the Shrek Academy members on the east side of the arena.

His lips slowly parted to form a wide, irrepressible smile that perfectly matched his imposing physique.

All that could be heard was Du Busi chanting.
