In Douluo, infinite simulation life

However, Huo Yuhao's strength was far beyond Dai Huabin's expectations. Even though they had gathered the most elite forces of the Shrek Academy team, they were unable to do anything to the opponent and were defeated completely.

In the past, relying on his strong talent and noble status, Dai Huabin's growth has been basically smooth. Although he still has to live under the shadow of his elder brother Dai Yaoheng, Dai Huabin always believes that he is the destined heir of the family, and he only regrets that he was born late. In time, Dai Yaoheng will inevitably fail in the struggle and become a stepping stone on his life path.

Huo Yuhao's performance was undoubtedly a huge blow to Dai Huabin. Not only did it make Dai Huabin realize that there are always people who are better than you, but it also seriously damaged Dai Huabin's confidence in competing for the throne. You have to know that in the finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition five years ago, Huo Yuhao relied on the strength of the team to injure Dai Yueheng, but now Dai Huabin's team is four against one against Huo Yuhao and still lost miserably. This will inevitably lead to negative comments about Dai Huabin within the family, affecting the White Tiger Duke's intention to choose a successor.

Thinking of this, the anger and hatred in Dai Huabin's eyes surged to the extreme, and he rushed towards Huo Yuhao desperately, even though Dai Huabin at this moment was not strong enough to support him to release any useful soul skills.

Seeing Dai Huabin rushing forward to fight, Zhu Lu naturally followed him to cooperate. Since Dai Huabin was in control of the Nether White Tiger, Zhu Lu suffered relatively less backlash when the Nether White Tiger was broken, and her current state was much stronger than Dai Huabin. The Nether Spirit Cat's first soul skill, Nether Stab, was activated, and Zhu Lu actually passed Dai Huabin and rushed to Huo Yuhao's side first, trying to retreat with one strike, and rely on speed to entangle for a few more rounds.

According to her thinking, even if the outcome of her and Dai Huabin's battle against Huo Yuhao could not be changed, if the two of them could show enough fighting spirit at the last moment and not disgrace the glory of their family, it would at least reduce the criticism of them by some people who did not know the truth.

Even though Huo Yuhao had already put away his martial spirit, his ability to anticipate the enemy's moves was still beyond the imagination of Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin. As soon as Zhu Lu, a spirit master of the agility attack system, approached him, Huo Yuhao simply slapped her with a knife and sent her flying. Although Huo Yuhao's current spirit power level was only one level higher than Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, his mental power and physical strength were enough to rival those of a Titled Douluo. Even without using spirit power, he could easily take care of Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin.

Huo Yuhao's fiancée Zhu Lu was knocked away in front of him, which weakened Dai Huabin's remaining rationality again. He forced his soul power to release his third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and his tiger claws grabbed Huo Yuhao's head at the same time. In terms of fierce fighting methods and wanting to kill the opponent at any time, Dai Huabin and his brother Dai Yaoheng were exactly the same.

Huo Yuhao calmly raised his hands and grabbed Dai Huabin's wrists, crushing them with the strength of his palms alone, and then twisted and broke Dai Huabin's arm joints. He then punched Dai Huabin in the chest and abdomen, causing multiple fractures in Dai Huabin's torso, and he fell on his back on the ground.

Dai Huabin, whose soul power was severely overdrawn and whose physical and mental state were extremely bad, still refused to admit defeat. The pride and unwillingness in his heart prevented him from saying such words.

Huo Yuhao stepped on Dai Huabin's chest with a cold look and an expressionless face. The strong pressure made it almost impossible for Dai Huabin to breathe. Seeing her man being humiliated, Zhu Lu rushed towards Huo Yuhao, even though she knew that doing so was meaningless.

Since the start of this Continental Senior Youth Spirit Master Elite Competition, Huo Yuhao has often been gentle with female contestants, subduing them without causing actual harm, such as when he fought Wu Feng before.

Judging from her appearance alone, Zhu Lu is definitely worthy of the title of beauty. What is even more outstanding is her slender and hot body with amazing curves, which cannot be concealed even when she is wearing the Shrek Academy team's iconic shit green suit.

According to common sense, Zhu Lu's weak image with pale face and red eyes would easily arouse men's sympathy, but it was a pity that the person she was trying her best to rescue was Dai Huabin.

Zhu Lu herself is Dai Huabin's fiancée and martial soul fusion partner. From her performance, it is not difficult to see that Zhu Lu really likes Dai Huabin, and is not forced to accept the marriage arranged by the family. Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao looked at Zhu Lu with a hint of disgust and hostility, and his moves became more decisive and fierce.

Facing Zhu Lu's attack, Huo Yuhao still did not dodge or evade. Instead, he swung his hand and punched Zhu Lu's body at the moment when the Netherworld Stab was about to hit her.

Zhu Lu, who had endured Huo Yuhao's attack, was not only knocked more than ten feet away, but the violent tremor of her heart and lungs also made it impossible for her to recover her normal mobility in a short period of time. She could only hold her chest in pain, mobilizing the little remaining soul power to wander between her heart and lungs, trying her best to calm the abnormal movement of her internal organs.

Zhu Lu's experience irritated Dai Huabin so much that his eyes were red with anger, and his constricted pupils flashed with unprecedented intense hatred and resentment.

Huo Yuhao looked down at Dai Huabin and chuckled with disdain, “Haha, Master Dai seems to be worried about his fiancée and wants to take revenge on me, right? Actually, you can’t blame me for this, you can only blame yourself for being too incompetent. With your current mental state, my mental attack can kill you instantly, and even the referee won’t be able to rescue you in time. But don’t worry, I won’t kill you like you brothers do during the game. But you can escape the death penalty now, and I believe the experience that is about to happen will make you unforgettable.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes suddenly burst out with a sharp gaze that seemed to be able to capture souls, and the huge spiritual power of the tangible and intangible realm burst out in full force. In addition to the pure, condensed, and endless characteristics, it also gave birth to a trace of tyrannical and destructive aura, causing Huo Yuhao's spiritual and soul attack power to surge.

The four great wisdoms in the sea of ​​spirits all woke up after noticing the change in Huo Yuhao's spiritual power. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Ice Emperor, and Snow Emperor all expressed their doubts and inquiries to Electrolux. Electrolux's answer brought them ecstasy: "The secret of destruction, what Yuhao just realized is the prototype of the secret of destruction. If things continue to develop in this way, it is only a matter of time for Yuhao to become a god. Even when I relied on the physique of the Son of Light, I realized the secret of light at the age of nineteen. Although my cultivation growth was delayed a lot due to the difficult environment in my early years, in terms of comprehension, Yuhao is stronger than I was before I died. With the secret of destruction as a foundation, Yuhao's strength will surely usher in a leap forward again, and its degree will surely exceed the expectations of everyone in the outside world. The opportunity for the awakening of the secret of destruction is the hatred in Yuhao's heart. It seems that those who have persecuted Yuhao or are hostile to him will soon be in trouble, and it is almost inevitable that they will eventually be destroyed in Yuhao's hands. I hope Yuhao can stick to his original intention and not implicate innocent people."

While the four great wisdoms in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea were all delighted and happy, the situation of Dai Huabin, who was stepped on by Huo Yuhao, was completely the opposite. His misery was so miserable that it even frightened most of the people present.

No one expected that Huo Yuhao would burst out with all his strength without warning when he already had an absolute advantage. He not only released his Spirit Eye Martial Spirit, but also instantly used the Silver Awakening to increase his combat power. Although the vertical pupil phantom that appeared behind Huo Yuhao was still silver overall, the pupil at its core had already bloomed with a clear golden glow from the inside out.

Chapter 383: The Powerful Huo Yuhao

Whether it was Huo Yuhao's original pair of spiritual eyes, or the eye of life opened up by the Blade of Living Guardian at the center of his eyebrows, or the vertical pupil light and shadow that appeared behind him when he used his original martial soul for the second awakening, there was a tiny incandescent flame burning in his pupils.

This is the soul flame condensed from the light of soul annihilation that contains the mystery of destruction. It is cruelly burning Dai Huabin's soul according to Huo Yuhao's will, causing him to constantly let out cruel wails.

Ning Tian understood almost immediately when Huo Yuhao performed the second awakening of his spirit. However, Zhang Lexuan had not witnessed the scene of Huo Yuhao using the Soul Annihilation Light in the final of the previous competition, so her reaction was inevitably half a beat slower. However, in the Shrek Academy team, Ning Tian, ​​the temporary commander, could not make a decision even if he shouted "surrender". If he really wanted to stop Huo Yuhao, he had to rely on Zhang Lexuan, the teacher of the Shrek Academy team.

"Yuhao, stop. Our Shrek Academy team admits defeat in this match. Please stop attacking Dai Huabin immediately."

As the previous champion, the Shrek Academy team not only stayed in top-notch hotel rooms, but also had the best seats close to the competition stage specially set up for them in the players' lounge area at the competition venue.

With Zhang Lexuan's eight-ring Soul Douluo level of profound cultivation, it would not be difficult for her to use her aura to stop a six-ring Soul Emperor who was not far away. But at this time, she could only follow the normal operation to announce her defeat and ask Huo Yuhao to stop, and she did not dare to directly interfere with Huo Yuhao's behavior in public.

Huo Yuhao still had some respect for Zhang Lexuan, who had taught him for a year. He immediately stopped the operation of the Soul Annihilation Light after hearing her words. The incandescent flames burning in the four pupils of his body were extinguished at the same time, and the energy aura was completely restrained. Soon, he returned to his usual indifferent and harmless appearance.

Seeing Zhang Lexuan flying towards the competition stage, Huo Yuhao retracted his foot from Dai Huabin and stepped back a few steps. In this match against the Shrek Academy team, Huo Yuhao severely injured Xu Sanshi and Dai Huabin, causing permanent injuries that could affect their lives.

As the leader of the Shrek Academy team, Zhang Lexuan had vowed to protect Shrek Academy in her early years. She should have resented Huo Yuhao or felt extremely dissatisfied. But when Huo Yuhao really made up his mind to face Zhang Lexuan's gaze, he found that her attitude was the same as usual, and she seemed to be unaffected by what had just happened. Even after discovering that Dai Huabin had suffered irreversible soul damage, Zhang Lexuan still did not show any hostility towards Huo Yuhao.

After thinking it over, Huo Yuhao was the first to speak: "Teacher Zhang Lexuan, for the injured members of your Shrek Academy team, I can help them recover from the frostbite left by the Ultimate Ice. As for the other injuries, you will need to deal with them on your own."

In response, Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay." From this simple reply, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that Zhang Lexuan did not mean to blame him. In fact, Zhang Lexuan, who appeared calm and calm, was not completely unchanged in her heart, although she still trusted Huo Yuhao's character. However, Zhang Lexuan could not help but feel a little confused about Huo Yuhao's actions just now. The focus of the problem was the soul attack suffered by Dai Huabin. Was it really just Huo Yuhao's casual behavior?

Speaking of the most seriously injured players of the Shrek Academy team in this game, there is no doubt that they are Xu Sanshi and Dai Huabin. Because Jiang Nannan chose to follow Huo Yuhao to leave at the Poseidon Festival, there was an obvious personal emotional conflict between Xu Sanshi and Huo Yuhao. In addition, Xu Sanshi may have seriously hurt Jiang Nannan's body and mind in the past, so it is not surprising that Huo Yuhao took the opportunity to severely injure Xu Sanshi in the game with a vengeful mentality. Moreover, Huo Yuhao left room for maneuver. He only cut off Xu Sanshi's right arm and promised to help unfreeze the extreme ice, so that Shrek Academy had the opportunity to reconnect Xu Sanshi's right arm.

Of course, Xu Sanshi's injuries were far more than just a broken limb. His martial soul, the Mysterious Nether Tortoise Shield, was directly cut off, and Huo Yuhao's ultimate talent, the Cold Nether Soul Sword, could make Huo Yuhao's sword moves have the terrifying effect of penetrating the body and soul. What Zhang Lexuan was most worried about was the psychological blow that Xu Sanshi had to endure. Huo Yuhao first took away Jiang Nannan, whom Xu Sanshi had been longing for, emotionally, and then directly defeated Xu Sanshi's proud Xuanwu power in terms of soul master ability. The combination of the two made Xu Sanshi's inner loss and regret unimaginable, and he might even never recover from it. This blow was bound to greatly affect Xu Sanshi's future achievements.

Compared to Xu Sanshi, who had an old grudge against Huo Yuhao, Dai Huabin's experience was undoubtedly even more miserable, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that his future was ruined. Although Huo Yuhao's soul attack lasted only a few seconds, it had already caused Dai Huabin irreversible soul injuries, which were several times more severe than Dai Yaoheng's five years ago. Originally, with Dai Huabin's powerful talent that had cultivated to level 57 at the age of seventeen, it was basically not a problem for him to cultivate to become a Titled Douluo. However, judging from the severity of Dai Huabin's soul injury, he may have no hope of breaking through to Soul Saint and achieving a martial soul body in this lifetime. This means that Dai Huabin will be trapped at the level of an intermediate soul master and will never be able to become a truly powerful person.

The mainland soul master world has a very clear and concise definition of low-level, mid-level, and high-level soul masters. Levels below Soul Venerable are collectively referred to as low-level soul masters, and mid-level soul masters include Soul Venerable to Soul Emperor. The threshold for high-level soul masters is Soul Saint. Only those who reach the Soul Saint level and possess a martial soul avatar can be recognized as a strong person in the soul master world.

This shows the horrible extent of Dai Huabin's soul injury, which almost instantly knocked his talent to the bottom, falling by an unknown number of levels. After being informed of Dai Huabin's current situation by Zhang Lexuan, Zhu Lu cried all day, but still forced herself to take care of Dai Huabin who had been unconscious for a long time, which moved the other members of the Shrek Academy team.

On the day when the Shrek Academy team was defeated by Huo Yuhao, a total of seven members of the Tang Sect team, led by Bei Bei, came to visit the Shrek Academy team at their residence. Zhang Lexuan then announced a major decision: the Shrek Academy team would admit defeat in the next match against the Tang Sect team.

In this regard, no one from the Shrek Academy team objected, because after the battle with Huo Yuhao, the most elite forces of the Shrek Academy team had been damaged, and it was simply difficult for them to continue in the next game. In this case, they simply gave the opportunity to advance to the quarterfinals to the Tang Sect team, and then vigorously promoted the close relationship between the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. They pointed out that Bei Bei and others from the Tang Sect team were actually students of Shrek Academy, which would at least save some face for Shrek Academy.

In this Shrek Academy team, He Caitou and Xu Sanshi, two Soul Emperors, were injured in the battle with Huo Yuhao and could not continue to play in the next game. Dai Huabin's soul was severely damaged, which also made the Shrek Academy team's other killer weapon - the spirit fusion skill Nether White Tiger, which was jointly performed by Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, impossible to use.

The only thing to be thankful for was that Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, and Zhu Lu, as women, were still taken care of by Huo Yuhao, and did not suffer any injuries. Even Zhu Lu, who was hit in the chest by Huo Yuhao, did not really suffer much damage. As for the Pipi Elephant Defense Soul King Xie Huanyue, his recovery from injuries was relatively ideal after Huo Yuhao sucked away the remaining extreme ice energy in his body, but it would take a long time to recover to his peak state. On the other hand, the Tang Sect team kept their promise and directly admitted defeat in the round-robin match against the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team, so their strength was well preserved.

Whether it is Captain Beibei who is at the Soul Emperor level or Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao who are at the Soul King level, they are all in excellent combat condition. Even if the combat effectiveness of the remaining few level 4 Soul Instructor team members is basically negligible, the Tang Sect team is likely to defeat the Shrek Academy team whose strength has been greatly reduced at this time head-on.

The most important reason why Zhang Lexuan made the decisive decision to admit defeat to the Tang Sect team, which stopped the Shrek Academy team from advancing to the round-robin stage of this competition, was naturally because it was impossible to do anything. Even if the Tang Sect team let the Shrek Academy team win or admitted defeat, the Shrek Academy team would have advanced to the quarterfinals as the second in the group.

According to the rules of the competition, the Shrek Academy team will face the team ranked first in other groups. With incomplete strength, it is almost impossible to win, let alone win the championship. In fact, before the official start of this Continental Senior Youth Spirit Master Elite Competition, Shrek Academy had held a special meeting of the Sea God Pavilion to discuss it. Mr. Song, who is known for his rationality and calmness, directly pointed out at the time that the Shrek Academy team had no chance of keeping the glory of winning the competition.

Not to mention how many unfamiliar strong teams would appear if the sect team was introduced to participate in the competition, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team, led by Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, could make the Shrek Academy team helpless. Failure was completely foreseeable, but the actual situation was far more tragic than Zhang Lexuan and the elders of the Sea God Pavilion had imagined before. The decision to split the original Shrek Academy team and let Beibei, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao organize the Tang Sect team to participate in the competition was also made at the Sea God Pavilion meeting. Now it seems that the effect is quite good. Although there was a setback before that, Beibei was injured by the evil soul master, the Tang Sect team was able to advance to the quarterfinals in the All-Continent Senior Youth Soul Master Elite Competition, which was full of strong opponents. This can not be underestimated for the improvement of the sect's reputation.

Another important reason was the change in Zhang Lexuan's own ideas. After experiencing the disturbance caused by Huo Yuhao and others at the Sea God Fate event, especially seeing Beibei's reaction at that time, Zhang Lexuan began to reflect on the views she had always held on the glory of Shrek Academy. Since the hope of the Shrek Academy team to win the championship in this All-Continent Senior Youth Spirit Master Elite Competition was very slim, it was undoubtedly a thankless task for her to be the team leader to Mingdu to participate in the competition. If she was not careful, she would be forced to take responsibility and become the object of ridicule and accusation by Shrek Academy teachers and students.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Lexuan took the initiative to propose that she be the team leader. In fact, she wanted to see Mingdu, the soul guide technology center of the continent, and the new generation of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy team. As early as ten years ago, Zhang Lexuan, as the captain of the Shrek Academy team, defeated the then Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy team in the All-Continent Senior Youth Soul Master Elite Competition. The successful defense of the glory of Shrek Academy also made Zhang Lexuan excited. But now, Zhang Lexuan no longer has hope for the Shrek Academy team to win the championship and defend the title. Instead, she can look at this competition from a more comprehensive and objective perspective and make a relatively correct decision.

The second stage of the Continental Senior Youth Spirit Master Elite Competition - the group round-robin competition officially ended. The Sun Moon Royal Spirit Master Academy team and the Tang Sect team advanced to the quarterfinals with the first and second place in the group respectively. Among the remaining six teams that advanced to the quarterfinals, the first place in the round-robin group was the Snow Demon Sect team, the Proud Sword Sect team, and the Mingdu Spirit Master Academy team, which surprised Huo Yuhao a little.

The Holy Spirit Sect chose to admit defeat in the round-robin match against the Mingdu Soul Mentor Academy team. This was obviously due to Xu Tianzhen's status as a princess, and they took the initiative to show goodwill to the Sun Moon Empire royal family. If the teams really competed head-on, even if the Mingdu Soul Mentor Academy team had Xu Tianzhen, who had fused souls, it would still be impossible to threaten the Holy Spirit Sect team, which had a Soul Saint-level evil soul master.

The Tianlongmen team, Xingluo National Academy team and Shenglingzong team advanced to the quarterfinals as the second in their respective groups. According to the competition rules, a public draw will be held to determine the subsequent competition arrangements. In order to ensure the fairness and openness of the draw process and results, all members of the major participating teams that advanced to the quarterfinals must be present to witness the draw ceremony.

As the runner-up of the previous competition, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team successfully defeated the champion of the previous competition, the Shrek Academy team, in the round-robin stage. As a matter of course, they were the first to go on stage to draw lots. The captain Xiao Hongchen came to the presiding official with a confident and arrogant smile. His way of drawing lots was quite special. He did not grab them directly with his hands, but activated the ability of the Three-legged Golden Toad Martial Spirit to control metals to absorb the lot made of rare metals into his hands, which looked particularly cool and calm.

Before the opponents for the quarter-finals were determined, they had to be divided into zones by drawing lots. Xiao Hongchen was drawn to the lower half, and the first team in the group in the lower half, along with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team, was the Snow Demon Sect team, which was suspected by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to have hidden disciples of the Body Sect.

As the first place in the round-robin group, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team and the Snow Demon Clan team will play against the second place teams in other groups in the quarter-finals. Xiao Hongchen's opponent was the Xingluo National Academy team, and Princess Vina, who came on stage to draw lots on behalf of the Snow Demon Clan team, drew the Tang Clan team.

As the presiding official announced the draw results of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team, Huo Yuhao immediately looked in the direction of the Xingluo National Academy team. Princess Jiujiu, who led the Xingluo National Academy team to Mingdu to participate in the competition, noticed Huo Yuhao's undisguised gaze and immediately turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao and meet his gaze. Princess Jiujiu quickly noticed that the smile on Huo Yuhao's face was obviously malicious, and she could only feel helpless about it.

The first match of the quarterfinals was undoubtedly between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team and the Star Luo National Academy team. The reason was nothing more than that Huo Yuhao defeated the Shrek Academy, which had won the championship for countless consecutive times, with absolute advantage in the round-robin stage, making it natural for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team to replace the Shrek Academy team and enjoy the privilege of playing the first game in each round.

Seeing Huo Yuhao calmly stepping onto the competition stage to prepare for the battle, the audience cheered louder and louder. Some fanatical fans were still shouting slogans such as "King Yuhao" and "Eternal Invincibility", which made Princess Jiujiu, who was watching from the team's rest area, look even uglier.

Like the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Xingluo National Academy was a top-level academy named after the empire in which it was located, and the teams sent to participate were the important faces of the country. Because of this, even though the possibility of the Xingluo National Academy team being able to compete with Huo Yuhao was almost zero, Princess Jiujiu and her Xingluo National Academy team members still had no intention of admitting defeat.

According to past practice, Huo Yuhao would first defeat three opponents in the individual elimination match before challenging four opponents alone, which many people considered to be extremely arrogant. Perhaps it was because of his victory over the Shrek Academy team that his confidence swelled further, but Huo Yuhao said to the chief referee Zheng Zhan at the beginning of the match against the Xingluo National Academy team: "Referee, I think the outcome of this match is actually not suspenseful at all, so why not let me get rid of all seven opponents at once, what do you think?"

Although Huo Yuhao's voice was not loud, it was loud enough for everyone in the venue to hear clearly due to his spirit power. The audience who were originally cheering were stunned when they heard Huo Yuhao's speech, and then they burst into even stronger excitement. Almost everyone was cheering for Huo Yuhao.

The Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire have always been at odds, and border conflicts of varying sizes have occurred from time to time. This is something that both the spirit masters and spirit guides of the two empires and the general public are basically aware of. Huo Yuhao's declaration of trying to fight seven alone is undoubtedly a great humiliation for the Star Luo National Academy team and even the Star Luo Empire, but it will undoubtedly make the Sun-Moon Empire's people present rejoice.

As for whether Huo Yuhao could win the one-on-seven battle, not many people would think about this question at this time. After all, before this, the audience was discussing how long Xingluo National Academy could hold out and what methods Huo Yuhao would use to defeat his opponent. No one considered the possibility of Xingluo National Academy's victory.

In the rest area of ​​the Xingluo National Academy team, Princess Jiujiu first stared at Huo Yuhao with her almond-shaped eyes wide open, but soon she regained her composure and looked fierce and thoughtful. A white-haired old woman sitting next to her had a fierce and sharp light in her eyes. She said in a voice transmission with resentment: "This kid actually dared to target and provoke us so obviously. Does he really think we can't do anything to him? If it weren't for the fact that this place is Mingdu, I would have already..."

The Titled Douluo sent by the Xingluo Empire's royal family to protect Princess Jiujiu was right. Huo Yuhao, who was in Mingdu and had the entire Sun Moon Empire behind him, did not need to fear any hostile forces. For example, in the match with the Shrek Academy team, Huo Yuhao first cut off Xu Sanshi's arm and then severely damaged Dai Huabin's soul, both without hesitation. He was confident that whether it was Shrek Academy or the White Tiger Duke's lineage, it would be a pipe dream to want to retaliate against him in Mingdu.

Feeling the hostility in the eyes of Princess Jiujiu and the Titled Douluo beside her, Huo Yuhao looked at them fearlessly, with a subtle purple-black glow in his pupils. Even with the old woman's Titled Douluo-level cultivation, she felt an inexplicable sense of crisis at this moment, and Princess Jiujiu's face turned pale, as if her previous thoughts had made her foresee some terrible future.

Before the chief referee Zheng Zhan, who was supervising the match, could speak, the member of the Xingluo National Academy team that was sent to fight Huo Yuhao was furious: “Huo Yuhao, do you look down on the strength of our Xingluo National Academy team?”

Huo Yuhao responded with a playful smile on his face: “How dare I? Compared to your strength, I admire and praise your luck even more. It is really beyond my expectation that you can make it to the quarterfinals of this competition.”

At this moment, a calm voice came from the angry Xingluo National Academy team: "In this game, our Xingluo National Academy team admits defeat." The person who spoke was the captain of this Xingluo National Academy team. He was tall and handsome, with an elegant and easy-going temperament, and was somewhat similar to Beibei.

It was not common and extremely dishonorable to admit defeat without even fighting a single match in the fiercely competitive All-Continental Senior Youth Spirit Master Elite Competition. However, the captain of the Xingluo National Academy team's decisive admission of defeat undoubtedly reflected one of his excellent qualities - courage.

To directly admit defeat in this important competition that concerns both teams, colleges and even the country requires not only careful consideration but also courage. A truly cowardly person would never make this decision.

After hearing their captain's declaration of surrender, all members of the Xingluo National Academy team, including Princess Jiujiu who was in charge of the team in the rest area, instantly fixed their eyes on Captain Xingluo. The gazes of their companions and superiors were filled with all kinds of complicated emotions. Captain Xingluo, who was under mental and spiritual pressure, remained calm and looked around at his companions without fear. The members of the Xingluo National Academy team, who were originally very angry, noticed the emotions in the captain's eyes when he looked at them, and they all stopped and swallowed all the words of rebuttal and rebuke.

Chapter 384 Huo Yuhao vs Wang Yanfeng

Captain Xingluo's gaze finally settled on Princess Jiujiu. The always strong-willed Princess Jiujiu suddenly stood up, took a deep breath and said slowly: "I agree with the decision of our captain. The Xingluo National Academy team admits defeat in this game."

After Princess Jiujiu's confirmation, the Xingluo National Academy team's surrender has become a fact.

Invincible Douluo Zheng Zhan, who was in charge of supervising and hosting the competition, immediately announced the result: "Since the Xingluo National Academy team voluntarily admitted defeat, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team won the game." Unlike many spectators who mocked and abused the Xingluo National Academy team, Invincible Douluo Zheng Zhan looked at the departing Captain Xingluo and Princess Jiujiu, and his expression revealed a bit of appreciation and vigilance.

The training and fighting of young soul masters cannot be without the courage and perseverance, but for those in a higher position who need to control the overall situation, being able to bend and stretch is the right style of behavior.

According to the official intelligence of the Sun and Moon Empire, the royal bloodline of the Xingluo Empire is extinct, and the current emperor has only one prince who is not very talented, so the Xingluo Emperor has to rely on his sister Princess Jiujiu to manage some royal and state affairs. But now it seems that the Xingluo Emperor did not make a mistake in choosing the right person, as Princess Jiujiu has quite good talents and abilities in both martial spirit cultivation and behavior.

After returning to the Xingluo National Academy team's residence in the Mingyue Hotel, Princess Jiujiu called Captain Xingluo to her room alone to question him.

"The reason you chose to admit defeat so straightforwardly is because you are worried about the safety of your teammates?" Princess Jiujiu went straight to the point. Since the official start of this competition, Captain Xingluo has repeatedly made pessimistic estimates of the final results of the Xingluo National Academy team. The two had a brief dispute over this, but in any case, in Princess Jiujiu's impression, Captain Xingluo is definitely not a mediocre and incompetent person, so she still agrees with him on whether to admit defeat.

Captain Xing Luo sighed helplessly and said, “If it was just a normal exchange, I wouldn’t mind leading my team to challenge Huo Yuhao with all my strength. But judging from Huo Yuhao’s recent performance, he is likely to abuse our players unilaterally within the scope allowed by the competition rules. When that happens, Xu Sanshi and Dai Huabin from the Shrek Academy team will serve as a lesson for us.”

Princess Jiujiu understood what was going on, but she still asked, “You mean Huo Yuhao is hostile to us and might maliciously kill our team members. If that’s the case, what’s the reason?”

Captain Xingluo replied slowly, “Since the start of this All-Continent Senior Youth Spirit Master Elite Competition, Huo Yuhao has repeatedly defeated seven opponents, and always challenged four opponents after defeating three opponents in a one-on-one elimination match. From this, we can easily see that although Huo Yuhao has great confidence in his own strength, he still leaves a lot of room to ensure the victory of the Sun-Moon Royal Spirit Master Academy team. Because according to the rules of the competition, as long as Huo Yuhao can defeat three people in a one-on-one elimination match and get three small points, then even if the remaining six players of the Sun-Moon team are defeated in the one-on-one elimination match, the difference between the two teams will be at most four points. In this way, the Sun-Moon team can completely rely on team battles to make up the score and win the final victory. After all, compared to one-on-one elimination battles, team battles are the strong point of the spirit master team. But in the match against our Xingluo National Academy team just now, Huo Yuhao took the initiative to break his own routine and directly challenged seven opponents. Don’t you think this is unusual?”

Princess Jiujiu knew that Captain Xingluo was right, but she was still unwilling to accept the reality. Huo Yuhao's talent and potential were too terrifying. If such a genius really had hostility towards the Xingluo Empire, what would happen to the Xingluo Empire after he grew up? Princess Jiujiu didn't dare to think about it.

Princess Jiujiu thought for a moment and then said with some hesitation, “Huo Yuhao’s purpose in proposing a one-on-seven challenge is obviously to humiliate our team, academy, and empire, but this does not mean that Huo Yuhao personally has any opinion of us. It is very likely that someone in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy instigated and ordered this, such as Meng Hongchen’s grandfather, Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen.”

Captain Xing Luo noticed the change in Princess Jiujiu's tone and expression, and guessed that Princess Jiujiu might still be holding on to some kind of fluke mentality. But now that things have come to this, he still hopes that Princess Jiujiu or the top leaders of the Xing Luo Empire can face up to the huge problem and threat of Huo Yuhao.

Therefore, he refuted without hesitation: "Impossible. It is true that our Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire have serious conflicts and disputes, but among the participating teams that have played against the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team before, the Shrek Academy team suffered the most damage. Speaking of conflicts with the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and the Sun-Moon Empire, Shrek Academy has no less than us. Especially at the academy level, the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and Shrek Academy have been long-standing enemies. Even if the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy really instigated humiliation of its opponents, the target should be the Shrek Academy team and not our Xingluo National Academy team."

This incisive analysis made Princess Jiujiu frown even more tightly, and her pretty face turned pale. She even lowered her voice a few notches: "Although the Shrek Academy team was eliminated in the round-robin stage, in fact, their team is stronger than our Xingluo National Academy team. The reputation of Shrek Academy also makes Huo Yuhao take it seriously. With some reservations, Huo Yuhao did not dare to rashly challenge the Shrek Academy team to a one-on-seven battle. This can also be explained, but..."

Captain Xing Luo interrupted Princess Jiujiu before she finished speaking, “Your Highness, Huo Yuhao’s strength is definitely not just what he has shown so far. It is not a problem for him to defeat the seven members of the Shrek Academy team at once. In addition, please do not forget that the two members of the Shrek Academy team who were deliberately injured by Huo Yuhao were Xu Sanshi, who had an emotional conflict with Huo Yuhao, and Dai Huabin, the second son of the White Tiger Duke, who seemed to have never offended Huo Yuhao.”

Upon hearing Dai Huabin's name and identity, Princess Jiujiu suddenly realized: "During the finals of the last competition, Huo Yuhao had launched an attack under the cover of his teammates to injure Dai Yueheng's soul. In this competition, he used the same trick again and severely injured Dai Huabin. As a result, Dai Yueheng's cultivation level remained stagnant at level 69 for a long time after graduation and joining the army, unable to break through to the Soul Saint level. Dai Huabin's future was ruined and he no longer had any hope of becoming a high-level soul master. In this way, Huo Yuhao almost made the White Tiger Duke's lineage have no successors. Did he do this on purpose?"

Captain Xing Luo finally spoke out his guess at this time: "Your Highness should be able to see that Huo Yuhao's appearance obviously does not conform to the characteristics of the natives of the Sun-Moon Empire. Instead, he is more like the bloodline of our Xing Luo Empire. Why did he join the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and stand on the opposite side of us? Huo Yuhao's background is unknown. Before him, I have never heard of a famous soul master with a spirit eye or an ice-blue scorpion spirit. From this, it is not difficult to infer that Huo Yuhao's twin spirits are both derived from mutations.

He probably suffered a lot in his childhood because of his poor family background, which is why he chose to sneak into the Sun Moon Empire and enter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy after his martial soul awakened and became a soul master. The suffering and pain in his childhood not only made Huo Yuhao feel no sense of belonging to our Xingluo Empire, but also gave rise to many dissatisfactions and resentments. Among them, the lineage of the White Tiger Duke was the focus of Huo Yuhao's hatred and revenge.

I think you also know that although our Xingluo Empire has been praising the Duke of White Tiger, the public's views and opinions on the Duke of White Tiger are not overwhelmingly positive. Due to the accelerated development of the Sun-Moon Empire's soul guides in recent years, our Xingluo Empire is often at a disadvantage in border conflicts.

The people affected by the war naturally felt that Duke Baihu, as the commander of the western frontier army, was to blame, especially in the border areas. In order to meet military needs, Duke Baihu had to requisition civilian manpower and supplies from time to time, but he lost more than he won in the war.

Even if we occasionally send elite spirit masters to break into the Sun Moon Empire, we only kill ordinary soldiers and civilians of the Sun Moon Empire. We have never severely damaged or annihilated a complete spirit master corps. On the contrary, our spirit master corps has suffered increasing losses in recent years. These situations can be hidden from most ordinary citizens far away from the front line, but it must be easy for Huo Yuhao to know. Forgive me for being disrespectful, but if my above reasoning is correct or at least partially correct, then in Huo Yuhao's eyes, what image should the imperial family and the court, who have always valued the White Tiger Duke and rewarded him without holding him accountable for the defeat, have? "

Princess Jiujiu stared at Captain Xingluo in deep thought for a long time, but she never spoke again. In order to balance the power of the court and the military and ensure the stability of the internal rule of the Xingluo Empire, the royal family naturally could not let the White Tiger lineage grow. The Luo family behind Captain Xingluo was the key link in balancing the military power of the White Tiger Duke and the influence of the White Tiger lineage in the court.

The Xingluo Empire has three most important military forces, namely the Imperial Guards directly under the Emperor, the Western Frontier Army commanded by the Duke of White Tiger, and the Northern Frontier Army commanded by Luo Qingcang, the current head of the Luo Family. In recent years, with the rise of the Sun-Moon Empire, the importance of the Western Frontier Army has increased day by day, so much so that part of the military forces originally belonging to the Northern Frontier Army have been transferred to the western region of the Xingluo Empire.

This will strengthen the garrison forces in the Mingdou Mountains on the border between the Sun Moon Empire and the Xing Luo Empire, and add several more lines of defense behind the Mingdou Mountains. This will undoubtedly further expand the military power controlled by the White Tiger Duke, the commander of the Western Frontier Army, and even eventually affect the balance of political power in the Xing Luo Empire. Of course, the first thing that will be aroused is naturally the dissatisfaction of the Luo family.

"Are you taking this opportunity to complain to me?" Princess Jiujiu spoke again with a slightly cold tone, but Xingluo captain Luo Yunshan did not hear any implication of finding fault.

He also said bluntly: "How could Your Highness not see such an obvious intention to complain? But what I said before was absolutely not a lie. It is an indisputable fact that Huo Yuhao single-handedly ruined the future of the Duke of White Tiger's eldest son Dai Yueheng and second son Dai Huabin. His actions in the last competition can be explained as simply wanting to win the competition, but if combined with Huo Yuhao's performance in this competition, it is enough for us to make many reasonable inferences. The White Tiger lineage has now lost two talented candidates for succession, but this may only be the beginning."

Princess Jiujiu was shocked when she heard the last sentence of Luo Yunshan. She noticed that Luo Yunshan did not show any gloating expression on his face at this time, but instead had an unprecedented solemn expression.

Thinking of the fact that Emperor Xingluo had arranged for her to join the Western Frontier Army and command the Soul Master Corps on behalf of the royal family, Princess Jiujiu suddenly felt the pressure on her shoulders become heavier. Finally, she could only sigh helplessly: "I just hope that all that you said and thought does not exist, otherwise it will be a disaster for the empire. You can leave first. I will write a letter to His Majesty to report on the Soul Pagoda and the Soul Academy. When the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team and the Snow Demon Sect team compete, we will all go to watch together."

It was not difficult to hear from Princess Jiujiu's words that she had already determined that the Snow Demon Sect team would defeat the Tang Sect team and compete with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team for the final qualification. Although she had not witnessed the match between the Tang Sect team and the Snow Demon Sect team in person, she had not yet received any definite news.

Facts have proved that Princess Jiujiu's prediction of the result of the game was completely correct. Facing the previously mysterious and hidden Snow Demon Clan team, the Tang Clan team was no longer able to fight after the defeat of their captain Beibei. However, Beibei's strength was unquestionable. While defeating him, the Snow Demon Clan team was also forced to expose their own true colors.

No, the name Snow Demon Sect Team is no longer applicable, they should be called - Body Sect.

After a day of competition, the top four teams of the Continental Senior Youth Soul Master Elite Competition were finally decided. They are: Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy Team, Mingdu Soul Master Academy Team, Snow Demon Sect Team, and Holy Spirit Sect Team. For this result, everyone in the Sun Moon Empire, from the royal family to the ordinary people, was extremely excited. Because not only the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team, but also the Mingdu Soul Master Academy team led by the imperial princess Xu Tianzhen successfully eliminated the Tianlongmen team in the top eight to four and advanced to the top four, which greatly improved the reputation of Mingdu Soul Master Academy and the Sun Moon Empire royal family.

As for the Holy Spirit Sect, even though the Holy Spirit Church behind it has established a cooperative relationship with the Sun Moon Empire, many soul guides in the Sun Moon Empire still do not regard them as their own. In the eyes of the Sun Moon Empire people who watched the game, the image of the Holy Spirit Sect can be summed up in one word, that is, brutal. Since the first round of this competition, the Holy Spirit Sect has deliberately killed and injured opponents in almost every game. For example, in the most recent match against the Proud Sword Sect, three of the seven members of the Proud Sword Sect were killed and two were seriously injured, and this was under the supervision of the chief referee of the competition, Zheng Zhan.

It is worth mentioning that a member of the Aojian Sect team actually achieved a breakthrough in sword intent when his spiritual sea was invaded by evil spirits and was about to fall into despair. He successfully killed his opponent and died of exhaustion. This is the only record that the Aojian Sect team can be proud of in the match against the Holy Spirit Sect team. However, the gap in strength could not be made up after all, and the Aojian Sect team finally lost miserably.

Compared to the other almost one-sided matches, the match between Mingdu Soul Mentor Academy and Tianlongmen was much more exciting and intense. In particular, Yu Tianlong, the strongest player of Tianlongmen, fought with Xu Tianzhen twice in a one-on-one elimination match and a team fight. But Xu Tianzhen had the two major advantages of soul and soul bone after all, so Yu Tianlong's defeat was inevitable. Coupled with the advantage of the soul mentor team in the team fight, the Mingdu Soul Mentor Academy team finally defeated the Tianlongmen team without any danger. However, Xu Tianzhen knew that he had no chance to perform in the next game.

The semi-finals of the Continental Senior Youth Spirit Master Elite Competition were held as scheduled. The first of the two matches was naturally the match between the Sun Moon Royal Spirit Master Academy team and the Snow Demon Sect team. As long as they won this match, the Sun Moon Royal Spirit Master Academy team would be crowned the champion of this competition and achieve unprecedented glory and brilliance.

The Holy Spirit Sect, as a sect of evil spirit masters, was able to organize a team to openly participate in the Continental Senior Youth Spirit Master Elite Competition, mostly due to the promotion of Crown Prince Xu Tianran. But even the Crown Prince's faction, which was the most closely connected to the Holy Spirit Sect within the Sun-Moon Empire, would not allow the Holy Spirit Sect team to face off against the Sun-Moon Royal Spirit Instructor Academy team. But if the Sun-Moon Royal Spirit Instructor Academy team lost to the Snow Demon Sect team organized by the Body Sect, then the Sun-Moon Empire would have to use the Holy Spirit Sect team to fight against the Body Sect for the championship, but Huo Yuhao's presence would reduce the possibility of implementing this backup plan to an extremely low level.

"In the first match of the semi-finals, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team will face the Snow Demon Sect team. Both teams will immediately send out players to compete in a one-on-one elimination match." Chief referee Zheng Zhan's command speech was still so serious and ruthless. As he spoke, the players from both teams jumped onto the stage at the same time, and their movements were extremely agile.

The Sun Moon Royal Spirit Instructor Academy sent Huo Yuhao as the team leader, while the Snow Demon Sect sent a tall young man who looked very calm and capable. Through the routine exchange of names before the battle, Huo Yuhao learned that the opponent in front of him was called Wang Yanfeng. This was the first time Huo Yuhao had officially fought against a spirit master with a true spirit.

Yellow, purple, and black, six soul rings that seemed to be the best match in the eyes of normal soul masters appeared one after another. After the match began, Wang Yanfeng's actions were exactly as Huo Yuhao had expected. He charged forward and tried for close combat.

Logically speaking, Huo Yuhao, who possessed the Spirit Eyes spirit, should have launched a mental attack at the beginning of Wang Yanfeng's action to interrupt Wang Yanfeng's accumulation of strength, and then he could open the Heavenly Dream Realm, hide and gradually weaken Wang Yanfeng's mental strength and combat effectiveness. However, Huo Yuhao did not do so, but took the initiative to give up the most advantageous tactic for himself, and released the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion spirit to face Wang Yanfeng, an elite disciple of the Body Sect whose spirit was the Double Palms.

Although Huo Yuhao's initiative to step forward was somewhat unexpected to Wang Yanfeng, he knew Huo Yuhao's strength and naturally did not dare to be careless, and did not even think of testing Huo Yuhao. At the moment when the distance between the two sides was shortened to 30 meters, Wang Yanfeng's trump card was launched.

A green light condensed behind him. It was a pair of thick and huge palms, exuding a heavy sense of oppression. At the same time, Wang Yanfeng, who was still moving forward rapidly, suddenly stopped. His palms, which were his martial spirits, had expanded to the size of a palm leaf fan under the full force of his strength. Then, Wang Yanfeng's palms and the pair of green giant palms behind him slapped the ground at the same time. The third and fourth purple soul rings of the six soul rings around his body lit up at the same time, and a loud shout came from his mouth: "Shock!"
