On the Battle Arena.
Seeing that the two were ready, Zhang Lexuan said in a clear voice, "Both sides ready—begin!"
Almost the instant Zhang Lexuan finished speaking, Dai Yueheng released his White Tiger Martial Soul, and his whole body instantly swelled up.
He suddenly exerted force with his feet, his tall body generating a strong gust of wind, and he darted forward.
As it charged forward, its two tiger paws slammed forward, and white light spewed from its mouth, activating its second soul skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave.
A white beam of light, as thick as an arm, flashed by, already roaring loudly in mid-air, its power astonishing.
Despite the attack, Huo Yuhao remained calm.
Ice-blue dragon scales covered his body, and his pupils transformed into his signature vertical pupils, two purple and one black, with three soul rings rising from his feet.
Just as the White Tiger's Blazing Light Wave was about to arrive, Huo Yuhao's first spirit ring suddenly lit up.
Ice Emperor protects you.
The originally icy blue dragon scales further crystallized, becoming even more translucent, and the extreme cold they emitted almost froze the air.
The moment his own chill intensified, Huo Yuhao advanced instead of retreating, his right dragon claw slashing fiercely at the incoming white tiger's blazing light wave.
In front of his right dragon claw, an even larger dragon claw, entirely forged from ice crystals, condensed and flashed with a cold light, fiercely striking.
It was Ice Dragon Claw, another soul skill from the first soul ring that Ice Emperor had attached to him.
boom--
A deafening roar echoed across the Soul Arena, as a violent surge of soul power, mixed with a cloud of frost and white mist, spread wildly. The two figures collided fiercely in the center of the arena.
The dragon's claws and the tiger's claws collided, producing a sound like metal striking metal.
The moment they made contact, Dai Yueheng's expression changed drastically.
An incredibly powerful force emanated from the dragon's claw, causing its massive body to be violently thrown back seven meters before it could barely regain its footing.
His tiger claws, which collided with Huo Yuhao's, trembled incessantly, and frost was spreading upwards from his claws at a visible speed.
Dai Yueheng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his body became stiff and sluggish in the face of the extreme cold that had invaded his body.
In past training sessions, he had been controlled by Ling Luochen's ice element before.
However, the coldness brought by Ling Luochen's ice element martial soul was nothing compared to the ice in front of him that seemed to freeze the soul. It was like fireflies competing with the bright moon.
Although he did not activate the three major amplification skills, White Tiger Protective Barrier, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and White Tiger Demon God Transformation, immediately in order to test the waters.
Even so, he was completely defeated in a power struggle by Huo Yuhao, who only had the cultivation of a Soul Venerable.
Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan, who were sitting in the audience, were no less shocked than Dai Yueheng.
Chen Zifeng's face turned even greener. He stared blankly at the scene on the field, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a dry sentence.
"Did Yaoheng skip lunch?"
On the Soul Battle Stage, Huo Yuhao exhaled a breath of white air.
Without utilizing the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul doesn't offer much advantage in terms of power.
However, the dragon core on his chest was constantly emitting golden light, which was merging into his soul power, causing the soul power vortex in his lower dantian to be faintly tinged with a layer of light gold.
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. He had a strange feeling that perhaps only after he condensed his soul core could the blood and soul power in his body truly and perfectly merge with each other.
Sensing that Huo Yuhao seemed to be distracted, Dai Yueheng shouted and charged forward again.
His first, third, fifth, and sixth spirit rings lit up simultaneously, his body grew even larger, and his white fur quickly turned golden.
The three amplification skills brought Dai Yueheng's aura to its peak, and the golden tiger claws on his outstretched paws emitted a chilling light.
The next instant, he vanished in a light that turned from white to gold.
A dense golden light erupted in mid-air, vaguely forming a huge "kill" character, carrying endless killing intent, and struck Huo Yuhao head-on.
White Tiger Annihilation Strike is Dai Yueheng's most powerful soul skill to date.
However, the moment the golden "kill" character took shape, a golden light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and he took a step forward, disappearing completely from the spot before everyone's eyes.
After the White Tiger Annihilation Kill landed in empty space, Dai Yueheng, who had reappeared, scanned his surroundings warily.
As if sensing something, he suddenly turned around, swung his right tiger claw, and released his soul power, which transformed into five sharp golden claw blades that tore towards his back.
A piercing explosion rang out, and the five golden claw blades vanished in an instant in the air. Huo Yuhao's figure reappeared, already within a meter of Dai Yueheng.
Seeing Huo Yuhao so close, Dai Yueheng's pupils suddenly contracted, especially when he saw the other's fist gleaming with a brilliant golden light.
Reacting swiftly, Dai Yueheng instinctively crossed his arms in front of him, his right arm suddenly gleaming with golden light that enveloped his entire body.
The Absolute Defense Soul Bone skill, although it can only defend for a moment and can only be used once a day, provides a near-invincible defensive state for that moment.
With Dai Yueheng's current cultivation level, he can definitely buy himself a second of time, as long as the attack is not at the level of a Super Douluo. Of course, the premise is that the opponent's attack must hit his right arm.
Almost at the same time, a purple-gold light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and his third spirit ring disappeared in a flash.
A halo of ethereal purple-gold light swirled around, as if the entire spacetime had been distorted, turning into a purple-gold color, and time and space seemed to freeze in an instant.
The Spirit Eye Martial Soul, the third soul ring attached by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, is Eternal in an Instant.
With Huo Yuhao's spiritual power now at the level of tangible yet intangible, he is capable of exerting near-time-stopping absolute control over opponents below the Soul Saint level within the influence range of this soul skill.
It should be noted that the Evil Eye Tyrant, ranked second among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, also comprehended the mysteries of time and obtained the ultimate mystery of the Light of Time and Space through its understanding of spirit and space.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, being a soul beast that is born with the ability to control time and space, combined with Huo Yuhao's spiritual eye's inherent spiritual attributes, enabled him to obtain this powerful soul skill that is almost like stopping time.
Of course, such powerful soul skills also have limitations.
Huo Yuhao can currently stop the time of opponents below the Soul Saint level for nine seconds, but if he faces a Soul Master with strong mental power, or a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level or above, this Soul Skill will only instantly drain the Soul Power in his body.
After understanding the limitations of soul skills, Sister Tianmeng made a sharp evaluation, feeling that it was not as good as Soul Impact.
With Huo Yuhao's current mental strength, activating a soul impact could directly cause the brains of soul masters below the Soul Saint level to collapse instantly, which is obviously simpler and more brutal.
Thus, Tianmeng successfully confirmed that in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, her family status was above that of Axie.
Enveloped by the fleeting eternity, Dai Yueheng felt as if he had fallen into nothingness. His consciousness could still perceive everything around him, but his body seemed to be stuck in mud, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not move an inch.
boom--
A deep, muffled thud echoed across the Soul Arena.
Huo Yuhao's fist, gleaming with a brilliant golden light, landed solidly on Dai Yueheng's cheek.
Dai Yueheng spat out a mouthful of blood, flew more than ten meters backward, and crashed heavily to the ground like a dead dog.
He struggled to get up from the ground, but a burning, intense pain shot through his face.
He should have felt boundless anger and humiliation welling up inside him, but when he looked up and saw Huo Yuhao standing not far away with an indifferent expression, his heart trembled inexplicably, and an indescribable sense of fear swept through his entire body.
Zhang Lexuan, who was standing nearby, suddenly narrowed her eyes.
The others present might not recognize Huo Yuhao's moves just now, but how could she not recognize that familiar combat technique that combines mental power and soul power, Elder Mu's "Reign Over the World"?
She simply glanced at Huo Yuhao deeply, without saying anything more.
Having released his martial spirit possession, Huo Yuhao said calmly, "Senior Dai, I wonder what you've learned so far?"
"you……"
Dai Yueheng wanted to say something, but his body trembled uncontrollably when facing Huo Yuhao. The fear that came from the depths of his soul prevented him from uttering a complete sentence.
Zhang Lexuan merely glanced at Dai Yueheng before speaking softly, regaining control of the situation:
"Alright, Yuhao has won this match. I hope everyone can learn something from it. Now, please introduce yourselves."
Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan, sitting in the audience, exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
Chen Zifeng turned his head and looked at Dai Yueheng, who had just gotten up from the ground but was still swaying. He gritted his teeth, stepped forward and spoke.
"Senior Sister, I believe my strength is inferior to Yueheng's, and even more so to this junior brother's, so I voluntarily give up my status as a regular team member."
After saying that, he turned around with a grim expression and left the Soul Fighting Zone.
Watching Chen Zifeng leave, Dai Yueheng suppressed his fear and said, "I'll go check on Zifeng."
They left the Soul Fighting Zone directly and chased after Chen Zifeng.
Watching Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng leave one after another, Yao Haoxuan's expression changed constantly. He wanted to do something, but in the end, he didn't move his feet and just stood there blankly.
Xi Xi and Gongyang Mo exchanged a glance, not expecting things to develop this way.
The problem is, putting aside the fact that Dai Yueheng took the initiative to provoke Chen Zifeng, Chen Zifeng himself just gave up his status as a regular player, which gives people a very strange feeling.
It's as if Huo Yuhao is a heinous criminal who forcibly abducted a virtuous woman.
Xixi swallowed hard, breaking the awkward silence, and said sheepishly:
"Senior Sister, why don't we start our teamwork training soon? There's less than two weeks until the competition starts, and afterwards, we inner court students have to go on that monitoring mission..."
Ma Xiaotao arrived a month early to replace the original members of the Soul Guidance Department, and they had already spent some time getting back together. Now, Huo Yuhao has replaced another member.
The Soul Master Competition is not just an individual elimination tournament; the second, third, and seven-person team battles all require consideration of teamwork and coordination among members.
Zhang Lexuan naturally understood the meaning behind Xixi's words, and simply nodded slightly:
"Don't worry, if the academy had allowed anyone else to join the main team at a time like this, I would never have agreed. But Yuhao is different. As long as he's on the field, everyone just needs to follow his instructions."
Upon hearing what the senior sister said, the members of the inner courtyard, including Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, all turned their gazes toward Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao naturally understood Zhang Lexuan's meaning and did not hesitate. He instantly released his mental detection, connecting with everyone present.
This amazing soul skill, which allowed him to control the entire situation as if he had an external brain, left everyone speechless.
Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen both turned their gazes to their senior sister, staring intently at her with questions in their eyes, as if wondering why she knew the effects of Huo Yuhao's soul skills.
But it's not their fault.
They had been focusing on Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, and their knowledge of the other spiritual attribute Martial Soul was limited to a basic understanding. As for what kind of Soul Skills it contained, they had no idea.
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao, the captain of the main team, immediately chimed in, "Senior Sister is right. As long as Yuhao is on the field, everyone will follow Yuhao's orders."
Having a close relationship with Huo Yuhao, she naturally had to speak up for him immediately.
Ling Luochen, Xixi, and Gongyang Mo also nodded in agreement, until the inner court students turned their attention to Yao Haoxuan.
Having already made his choice not to chase after them, Yao Haoxuan naturally understood from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing Huo Yuhao quickly integrate into the team, Zhang Lexuan nodded in satisfaction: "Then after everyone introduces themselves, let's start the group battle training."
Their training didn't end until the sun set, painting the sky red. Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng, who had run off, never returned.
Zhang Lexuan observed that although everyone looked exhausted after an afternoon of training, their teamwork had undoubtedly improved significantly.
Not to mention, when it came to group battles, whichever team Huo Yuhao was on could easily win, which solidified Huo Yuhao's position as the main control soul master of the team.
Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly and said, "Let's end it here for today. Everyone should get some rest when you go back tonight. We'll meet at the academy gate first thing tomorrow morning."
The reserve team members and Yuhao, along with Teacher Gu Yuena and me, will first head to Xingluo City to prepare for the competition.
At this point, Zhang Lexuan paused slightly, looked at Ma Xiaotao, and instructed her:
"Xiao Tao, although the academy will send other teachers from the inspection team tomorrow to lead you on your inspection mission, you must still be careful and not be careless."
Ma Xiaotao, who was just about to sneak over and hug Huo Yuhao behind Ling Luochen's back, immediately straightened up when she heard her senior sister call her name and responded right away.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. We will be very careful."
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly upon hearing this completely different development arrangement from his previous life.
But the teachers who remain in the Shrek Academy's supervisory team are mostly at the Soul Douluo level, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?
