Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 37 Selection Tournament Ends

Just after He Caitou fell down amidst the attacks of the others and was rescued by Xuanzi, the other students took this opportunity to form teams with their acquaintances.

Huo Yuhao glanced at the team present. Because they needed to meet up with Ning Tian, ​​they were still quite a distance away from Bei Bei and the other two.

So now Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, ​​and Wu Feng have formed a small group.

Meanwhile, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, three fifth-year Soul Masters, teamed up together, while the other second, third, and fourth-year students on the field also formed their own teams and fought independently.

However, Huo Yuhao is no longer planning to force himself to team up with Bei Bei and the other two. After all, the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it. As the three strongest players on the field right now, Bei Bei and the others will undoubtedly bear the greatest pressure.

Since there's no need to force yourself into a direct confrontation if you're not prepared to expose your shared mental detection abilities, it's better to observe from the sidelines.

"Let's work together to take down the team of the senior students from the fourth ring first, and then we can slowly compete for victory!" A fourth-year Soul Master student shouted.

The others nodded in agreement, and their gazes then focused on Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, who were the most conspicuous figures on the field.

Their four spirit rings stood out among the other two- and three-ring spirits.

At this moment, Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao beside her. Huo Yuhao gestured for her to step back, and then led the group quietly toward the edge of the field.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao activated his second soul skill. With the influence of mental devouring, Huo Yuhao's mental power radiated outward continuously. After being touched by this subtle fluctuation of mental power, the other students subconsciously ignored Huo Yuhao and the others.

Because it wasn't targeted at any one person, the power of the mental devouring wasn't as terrifying as it had been when dealing with the mutated giant ape, but it was still enough for Huo Yuhao to bypass the students' soul power defenses and interfere with their minds.

With the influence of the erosion of the vast spiritual domain, Huo Yuhao used mental suggestion to make the other students subconsciously ignore their existence, and even when they fought, they would not include them in their conversations.

When Beibei saw that the other groups of students had formed an encirclement, he knew things were going badly. However, although he was secretly groaning, he did not delay his actions.

He immediately joined forces with Xu Sanshi, who was standing to the side, and began to fight against the other trainees.

Three against eighteen, and most of them were Soul Master level experts. Even though Bei Bei and her two companions were Soul Masters, they were not absolutely confident of defeating them.

But at this point, the die was cast and no one wanted to admit defeat.

On the left are Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Xie Huanyue, and Huang Chutian, all outstanding second-year students. They followed the four fourth-year Soul Masters as they attacked Bei Bei and her two companions.

Meanwhile, on the right were six third-year students who also surrounded them. All of them were Soul Masters, and their Soul Ring configurations were naturally exceptional.

Moreover, due to the number of people, the ratio of Soul Masters in both teams is very good, with strong attack, defense, and agility attack types.

Behind the two teams, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Zhou Sichen, and Cao Jinxuan were responsible for controlling and harassing Bei Bei and the other two players, as well as assisting the main attackers.

Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei exchanged a glance and then went to meet them from the left and right respectively.

As a defensive-type Soul Master, Xu Sanshi took the lead in meeting the team on the left. His Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield slammed into the ground, and a black wave of energy swept directly towards the group in front of him.

At that moment, Xu Sanshi's third spirit ring and first spirit ring lit up simultaneously. With the support of Xuanming power, the shockwave of Xuanming Zhen directly pushed back Zhu Lu and Huang Chutian, who were weaker, a distance, and also hindered the progress of the other students.

However, there were simply too many opponents, a total of eight people. After the power of Xuanming Zhen was divided among the eight people, very little was left.

After all, two of these eight people were defensive Soul Masters, so Xuanming Zhen's attack could only temporarily hinder them for a short while.

The group quickly readjusted their formation and launched an attack on Xu Sanshi. Although Xu Sanshi's defensive capabilities were among the best in the Soul Sect, even ants can kill an elephant.

Moreover, the gap between his opponents and him was not like that between an ant and an elephant. At this moment, he was surrounded by wolves, and he could only hold out for a few more hours. He fought and retreated, trying to buy time for Beibei and Jiang Nannan.

Meanwhile, Bei Bei and Jiang Nannan met the group on the right. In a flash, Jiang Nannan's agile figure also swept past Bei Bei and rushed towards the six people on the right.

Clearly, their current strategy is to rely on Xu Sanshi to buy time, and then try to defeat the weaker side first.

However, aside from these six Soul Masters, there is still a support team of four—Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Zhou Sichen, and Cao Jinxuan—at the rear of the battlefield. Even though their soul power is only that of Great Soul Masters, they are still a considerable problem.

Therefore, Jiang Nannan's current target is the four of them. If they get close, Jiang Nannan's strength as a Soul Master will undoubtedly be overwhelming compared to the strength of these four.

Seeing this, the six third-year Soul Masters wanted to return to help, which was exactly what Bei Bei wanted.

The third and fourth spirit rings under Beibei's feet flashed light alternately.

It was the third soul skill, Thunderous Fury, combined with the fourth soul skill, Thunderous Dragon Head. With a loud dragon roar, lightning crackled around the right half of Bei Bei's dragon-transformed body, and then a dragon head with a diameter of one meter roared out, charging wildly into the crowd.

With the amplification of his third soul skill, Thunderous Fury, BeiBei's full-force attack this time was enough to have a destructive power comparable to that of a Soul King.

Although these six Soul Masters outnumbered and outmatched, stopping them was by no means an easy task. With one thing on their side and another on their side, they could only prioritize their own safety and were naturally powerless to intercept the agile Jiang Nannan.

In a few flashes, Jiang Nannan appeared in front of Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Zhou Sichen, and Cao Jinxuan, and the four of them naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for their doom.

Various soul skills were used in turn, just to delay Jiang Nannan's actions. At the same time, the two sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, embraced each other, and the martial soul fusion skill, Heaven and Earth Net, reappeared!

Huo Yuhao observed the battle from the edge of the field, calculating with his mental power, and quickly directed Ning Tian beside him.

Ning Tian then used his second soul skill on several students who were under control to remove the control and abnormality they were under.

"???" Wu Feng stood in front of Ning Tian. She didn't understand what Huo Yuhao was trying to do. At the same time, she didn't know why she and the others didn't go to participate in the battle first, but instead watched from the sidelines. She also didn't understand why no one really cared about the five of them.

While Ning Tian followed Huo Yuhao's instructions and used her soul skills, she also noticed something. She realized that Huo Yuhao was instructing her to undo the controls on students who were in crucial positions in the battle.

For example, the powerful offensive Soul Master who possessed the ability to injure Xu Sanshi, or the Lion Soul Master who was responsible for the main confrontation during the battle with Bei Bei.

Huo Yuhao wanted to balance the battle, so that others would suffer as much damage as possible during the fight.

Xuanzi occasionally brought out some of the more seriously injured students from the sidelines, while his cloudy old eyes were also observing Huo Yuhao and his group of five who were observing from the edge of the Soul Arena.

He could naturally tell that Huo Yuhao and his group of five were not involved in the battle, or rather, they were not even targeted by anyone else.

"Is it some kind of mental ability? But if that's all, it's not enough to justify Elder Mu's high regard for you."

Xuanzi was currently focusing most of his attention on Huo Yuhao, because Mu En had previously instructed him to pay close attention to this student named Huo Yuhao.

"A true martial soul isn't exactly a good candidate for cultivation, Elder Mu. Don't misjudge the situation."

The battle on the field is becoming increasingly intense.

Xu Sanshi was already struggling to hold on, as Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu had unleashed their full power and activated their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

At this moment, he shouted loudly at Beibei beside him, "I can't take it anymore! Beibei, are you done yet?!"

Meanwhile, at the rear of the battlefield, Jiang Nannan, like a tiger among sheep, had already eliminated Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Zhou Sichen, and Cao Jinxuan.

However, she was currently recovering from the depletion caused by the final fusion of the martial souls of the two sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, and had not yet been able to come to Beibei's aid.

Meanwhile, two trainees have already been eliminated from Beibei's team, but it will probably take some time before the battle is completely resolved.

"Haha, hang in there! A man can't say he can't!" Bei Bei laughed and said to Xu Sanshi, who was now in a sorry state and covered in injuries.

Hearing this, Xu Sanshi, whose face was already bruised and swollen, became increasingly angry. He yelled at Bei Bei, "Bei Bei, you son of a bitch, stop talking big! If you've got the guts, come and try me!"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Sanshi's fourth soul ring flashed, which was his fourth soul skill, Xuanming Replacement.

As the Xuanming Replacement was activated, Bei Bei, who was still fighting against the remaining four Soul Venerables, suddenly saw a pair of huge tiger paws coming towards his handsome face.

It is the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, Netherworld White Tiger.

However, Bei Bei's physique was not as robust as Xu Sanshi's. When hit by this powerful palm strike, she was knocked to the ground.

The other students, seeing this, didn't stand still either. Although they were a little stunned and didn't react for a moment, allowing Bei Bei to readjust her stance, they immediately launched their soul skills to attack Bei Bei one after another.

Beibei knew in his heart that something was wrong. At this moment, he could only use the parts of his body that had already been transformed into dragons to protect the rest of his body as much as possible. At the same time, thousands of bolts of lightning erupted from his body, trying to force back the students who were attacking him.

Even so, Bei Bei understood that Xu Sanshi probably wasn't intentionally trying to disgust her; he was just genuinely unable to withstand it, given the immense pressure from Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Sure enough, soon Beibei felt a blur before her eyes and found herself back in front of the four Soul Masters she had faced before.

At this moment, Jiang Nannan also began to clash with the four Soul Masters. With Bei Bei joining the battle, the four Soul Masters quickly showed signs of being outmatched.

"Alright, it's our turn to make our move," Huo Yuhao said to the four people beside him who were still in perfect condition.

The wide-area mental erosion was dispelled, and immediately afterward, a compressed mental shock struck the Netherworld White Tiger, which was fiercely fighting Xu Sanshi, directly knocking Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu out of their Martial Soul Fusion form.

Just before he fainted, Dai Huabin cursed under his breath: "Damn it."

This familiar feeling, this familiar moment—no need to say more, he knew who had made the move. But even after the match, he still didn't understand why he had overlooked Huo Yuhao's presence.

As the Netherworld White Tiger disintegrated, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu both fainted and were then taken off the field by Xuanzi.

With the departure of the Netherworld White Tiger, the pressure that had been weighing on Xu Sanshi was suddenly greatly reduced.

Only then did everyone realize that while they were fighting tooth and nail, practically beating the dog's brains out, there was still a team of trainees who were completely unharmed.

When Bei Bei saw Huo Yuhao's eyes light up, she quickly shouted, "Junior Brother, hurry, go and rescue San Shi!"

Huo Yuhao nodded. Seeing this, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong rushed towards the battle group where Xu Sanshi was, while Wu Feng rushed even faster than them.

With the priority blessing of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Wu Feng's strength and speed were greatly improved. However, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, and Wu Feng himself was just a Great Soul Master.

Huo Yuhao watched with a speechless expression as Wu Feng, who had charged forward in close combat and was subsequently driven back, was left speechless, having been led to the end by Xuan Zi.

He didn't know why this great soul master, who only knew close combat, dared to get involved in the battle between soul lords.

Seeing the lessons learned from the past, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong didn't dare to rush too fast. They simply hid behind Xu Sanshi, remotely controlling his martial soul and soul skills to reduce the pressure on Xu Sanshi from the other Soul Masters.

Huo Yuhao would occasionally sneak in some attacks to assist Bei Bei and Jiang Nannan, and soon the two of them took care of the four third-year Soul Masters.

The battle was drawing to a close. Although Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan were exhausted, they ultimately emerged victorious.

Huo Yuhao shook his head inwardly. He thought, "I gave you a chance, but you're useless. Originally, he balanced the forces of the various sides to give Wu Feng a reserve position."

After all, he didn't care about personal relationships. Giving face to his benefactor Ning Tian might have allowed him to earn more gold soul coins. But who would have thought that Wu Feng, that reckless man, would actually dare to go against him?
