Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 20 Quick Victory

"Wang Dong, prepare your second soul skill and take down Wu Feng."

"Xiao Xiao, coordinate with my hidden weapon attacks, don't worry about disrupting my attack rhythm."

While launching his hidden weapons, Huo Yuhao spoke to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, simultaneously assessing his physical and spiritual strength.

Seeing this, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement. Wang Dong prepared his second soul skill, while Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron occasionally vibrated, affecting the witch wind surrounding the center.

Under the close monitoring of the Eye of Truth and mental detection, the hidden weapon Huo Yuhao threw, analyzed by the Eye of Truth, still accurately hit Wu Feng even amidst the vibrations emitted by Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

Meanwhile, the teachers watching from the viewing platform were still marveling at the spectacle.

"Teacher Zhou, this student you taught is extraordinary. He applied to be an agility-type battle spirit master, but his performance is even more outrageous than that of a power-type battle spirit master."

"We've never seen a super-attack type Soul Master who could easily defeat a super-attack type Soul Master who was amplified by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master."

"At least a typical offensive-type Soul Master wouldn't be able to exert this kind of suppression effect at the first or second ring level."

"Don't even mention first or second rings. Don't forget that the White Tiger Meteor Shower, the most representative area-of-effect suppression soul skill among offensive soul masters, is a four-ring soul master! Four rings!"

"Yes, yes, I never expected Teacher Zhou to have kept it so well hidden."

Upon hearing this, Mu Jin's face turned green with anger, but she was also shocked and felt a bit bitter.

It seems I'm doomed to lose this bet with Zhou Yi. Even a soul bone, if of average quality, is a huge loss for her. More importantly, I've lost to Zhou Yi again.

"Incredible, incredible! This little guy's skill with hidden weapons is now much better than that little girl Tang Ya's."

"It seems the Tang Clan might have a chance to revive itself in this little guy's hands, but hidden weapons are still a problem after all."

"That's not necessarily true. In my opinion, this kid's technique is secondary; what's more amazing is his insight and calculation ability."

"Pay attention to his hidden weapon attacks. They seem chaotic but are actually very orderly. Using some long-range soul tools would be a good idea."

"He could definitely be nurtured as the core of a team, but why doesn't he just attack the support-type Soul Masters in the back?"

"That's right. Wu Feng is powerless to resist now. The best solution would be to deal with the support-type Soul Masters in the back first, right? That way, Wu Feng's buffs will disappear, and his defeat will be a little faster."

Regardless of the discussions among the spectators, Huo Yuhao's current battlefield dominance and control are truly terrifying.

Although each of his hidden weapons was not particularly powerful, the sheer number of them made up for it; the barrage of hundreds of hidden weapons was enough to dazzle anyone.

What's even more impressive is that these numerous hidden weapons weren't just randomly scattered; each one seemed to have been precisely calculated to ensure that Huo Yuhao's next attack would be more effective.

Joints, acupoints, and meridians are not fatal, but being hit will effectively impair movement. After being hit repeatedly in these areas, Wu Feng was completely powerless to fight back.

Apart from Wu Feng, who was still struggling to hold on amidst the barrage of hidden weapons.

Ning Tian, ​​who was behind her, realized her powerlessness as a support-type Soul Master. After applying all the buffs to her teammates, she could only watch them fight alone.

Although the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had taught Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters how to deal with unexpected battle situations, Ning Tian had no way to intervene at this moment.

After all, the Tang Clan, which made hidden weapons, had long since declined, and the use of soul tools was prohibited in the freshman assessment of Shrek Academy. Although she had learned some martial arts, it was clear that she could not compare with Wu Feng, who was a powerful offensive soul master.

Even though she kept using her second soul skill on Wu Feng to remove the control effect from the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, it was useless, because the endless stream of hidden weapons would overwhelm Wu Feng again in the next second.

"Ah!" Wu Feng roared in frustration amidst the storm of hidden weapons, but dared not make any rash moves, because if she accidentally let go of the arm protecting her head, she could even imagine that Huo Yuhao would beat her into a pig's head.

Because of the continuous barrage of hidden weapons, coupled with the occasional vibrations that somehow didn't disrupt the rhythm of the hidden weapons but instead complemented it, Wu Feng now felt like an insect trapped in a spider web.

She is being slowly eroded, facing a hopeless defeat. If this continues, her downfall is only a matter of time.

"No! I can't lose! Damn it! How can I fall here?" No matter how unwilling Wu Feng was, she still collapsed in the end.

Because besides Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao, don't forget Wang Dong's second soul ring's thousand-year soul skill. How could Wu Feng, as the target, possibly withstand Wang Dong's Butterfly God's Light after he had charged up his power?

Seeing Wu Feng fall, Huo Yuhao stopped wasting his hidden weapons. Although this burst of power seemed to last a long time, making Wu Feng and Ning Tian feel extremely tormented, it actually only lasted for a short twenty seconds.

The number of hidden weapons thrown out, seemingly like a rain of flowers, barely exceeded a thousand.

Looking at the heavily injured Wu Feng lying on the ground, Ning Tian sighed silently, raised one hand and gracefully admitted defeat. After all, what good would it do for a support-type Soul Master to stand here unharmed? Did she really have to buff herself and then go into hand-to-hand combat with the opponent?

As the proctor announced Wang Dong's team's victory, Huo Yuhao first used the Crane Control and Dragon Capture technique to retrieve the still usable hidden weapons that had fallen on the field, and then left with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

As Ning Tian stepped off the stage, she looked at Huo Yuhao, who was surrounded by Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, with a complicated expression. Huo Yuhao nodded slightly to her before turning and leaving the stage.

Ning Tian frowned, pondering why Huo Yuhao hadn't attacked her directly earlier. Did he underestimate the support abilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master? Or did he have other intentions?

As support-type Soul Masters, because their own combat strength is not strong, the direct descendants of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School are more meticulous and naturally noticed this situation that should not have occurred in battle.

After all, prioritizing the elimination of support-type Soul Masters is a consensus among everyone, so there's no reason for Huo Yuhao to arbitrarily increase the difficulty of his battle.

Furthermore, it's common knowledge that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School would recruit and invest in commoner soul masters. Although Huo Yuhao came from the Tang Sect, he was definitely a commoner student, otherwise he wouldn't have been accepted into the Tang Sect's fold.

"Is this a gesture of goodwill? He was almost entirely responsible for defeating Feng Mei and Yun'er in the end. What's the real meaning behind his actions?"

"Is it to demonstrate his abilities, or for some other reason? It's hard to say; it could be both. Perhaps you should find an opportunity to talk to him privately."

Ning Tian followed the proctor to the infirmary, taking Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er, who were seriously injured and unconscious, all the way while thinking about Huo Yuhao's performance on the battlefield.

Fan Yu stood frozen in place, watching Huo Yuhao leave.

Huo Yuhao's performance just now was truly amazing for a Soul Master like him.

This insight and calculation ability in battle makes him a natural-born combat mentor, the perfect candidate for their ultimate individual soldier plan.

What's even more outstanding is his control and courage. In battle, he was the one who coordinated and coordinated with his teammates while firmly controlling the situation.

In the end, not taking action against Ning Tian, ​​the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master who is a support-type Soul Master, only gives people the impression of arrogance.

An arrogance as if everything was under his control; if everything was under his control, there was naturally no need to target someone who was of no use.

With a laugh, Fan Yu said, "I like this kid." But then, Fan Yu turned to Zhou Yi, who was standing to the side, and said with a hint of helplessness.

"I didn't expect your student named Huo Yuhao to be so outstanding. It's just a pity that with such a brilliant performance, the Martial Soul Department will probably have a hard time letting him go."

Although the Martial Soul system doesn't really value Soul Masters who rely on external forces, Huo Yuhao's insight alone is enough to make him a core commander of the team, even if his own combat strength is a little lacking.

Although Huo Yuhao may not necessarily receive much attention within the Martial Soul system, it is not a problem for him to be cultivated as a core disciple.

Fan Yu then ignored the bet between Zhou Yi and Mu Jin and simply said to Zhou Yi, "The match is over, I'm leaving now."

Then he hurriedly left the viewing platform and headed towards the Soul Guidance Department.

He needed to report Huo Yuhao's situation to Qian Duoduo as soon as possible, and take advantage of the fact that Huo Yuhao had not yet decided to join the Martial Soul System, to quickly find a way to get Qian Duoduo to poach him from the Martial Soul System.

Even if it comes at a higher price, it's worth it, because in Huo Yuhao, Fan Yu sees the hope of completing the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan, and also the hope of the Soul Guidance Department to finally stand tall.

The round of 32 to 16 was over, and the next day arrived quickly.

Xuanzi also came here for today's match, occupying the best vantage point in the center of the viewing platform, where he was enjoying himself immensely, eating and drinking.

After the draw, the venue for the Round of 16 matches was expanded again.

Huo Yuhao and his team's opponents were the Xie Huanyue team, one of the Soul Master teams in this freshman assessment.

Compared to the other students who are around twelve years old and quite thin, Xie Huanyue's height of 1.7 meters and waist circumference of 1.7 meters are truly eye-catching.

The proctor announced, "Both sides, state your names and prepare to enter."

As they entered, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly and said to Wang Dong beside him, "Prepare your Soul Skill Fusion Ring directly. You're in charge of that fat guy."

"Xiao Xiao, you control that big fat guy, I'll take care of the other two."

"This battle should be swift and decisive; we must go all out."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao both looked serious and nodded.

After all, Huo Yuhao wouldn't usually reveal his plans before a match if he weren't so difficult to deal with.

Therefore, after both sides had entered and were ready, they announced their names.

"Battle begins!" came the referee's command.

Both sides' Soul Masters activated their Martial Souls, but Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao did not rush forward. Instead, they switched positions.

Wang Dong took a step back, and then her first and second spirit rings lit up simultaneously, with a large amount of light gathering on her butterfly wings.

Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was used to push forward, directly attacking Xie Huanyue who was striding towards her.

Meanwhile, from within the shadow of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, several hidden weapons, barely noticeable, shot out, bypassing Xie Huanyue and accurately striking the Luo brothers, Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba, who had been trying to take advantage of their size to hide behind Xie Huanyue.

"Ouch, that hurts."

"What is it?"

Because of the hidden weapon, the brief delay allowed Xiao Xiao to successfully use the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to surround Xie Huanyue.

Then came the Soul Skill Fusion Ring Reappearance. Compared to Wang Dong's Soul Skill Fusion, Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron Soul Skill Fusion Ring was faster and consumed less energy.

However, unlike the previous combination of shockwaves released by the three cauldrons together, this time the aim was to reliably suppress Xie Huanyue, the Soul Master.

In addition to using the Soul Skill Fusion Ring, Xiao Xiao also used the Three Cauldrons Combined, directly fusing the three small cauldrons into one large cauldron.

However, the effort she had to put in at this moment was several times that of controlling the three small cauldrons separately.

As Xiao Xiao unleashed her trump card, even the thick-skinned Xie Huan Yue froze on the spot. To his surprise, he found that he could not use his soul skills and could only use pure soul power to fight against Xiao Xiao.

The continuous waves of soul power suppressed Xie Huanyue, forcing him to expend a large amount of his own soul power to fight against Xiao Xiao.

However, as a three-ring Soul Master, Xie Huanyue undoubtedly has the advantage, and Xiao Xiao could never outlast him.

Everyone present could see this from Xiao Xiao's increasingly pale face, but that was enough.

Because he had prepared in advance and was in good condition, Wang Dong had his Soul Skill Fusion Ring ready in less than ten seconds.

The giant crescent-shaped light blade that once appeared in the entrance examination and directly broke through the defense of a defensive soul master has reappeared, the Winged Guillotine fused with the light of the Butterfly God!

Seeing this, Xie Huanyue was also shocked, because he could feel with absolute certainty from the terrifying fluctuations in soul power that he would definitely not be able to withstand this attack without activating his defensive soul skills, and his life was even in danger!

"I admit defeat." Under the suppression of Xiao Xiao's soul skill, Xie Huanyue struggled to speak, wanting to utter words of surrender, but he could not manage it.

At that moment, he felt as if his life was about to be completely harvested in the next instant.
