Chapter 164 The Strongest Soul King on the Continent - The Grim Reaper
"Why!"
Finally, Huo Yuhao sighed.
That young face was full of helplessness and exhaustion.
He rubbed his temples, trying to calm himself down.
"In any case, this evil spirit master has been eliminated." His voice was deep. "Otherwise, if he had grown up and developed methods like corpse explosion, he would have been much more difficult to deal with."
He said this as a way of comforting himself.
But Wang Yan seemed hesitant to speak after hearing this.
Wang Dong, on the other hand, just pursed his lips.
Her voice carried a hint of disdain: "That evil soul master, the Soul King, wasn't eliminated; he eventually escaped from Elder Xuan's grasp."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao suddenly looked at Wang Yan!
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
He could hardly believe his ears.
Wang Yan met Huo Yuhao's gaze, a bitter look flashing across his face.
He remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded helplessly.
In that instant, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt that the world was somewhat unreal.
He opened his mouth, his voice rising an octave, and asked, "A Soul King? He actually managed to escape from Elder Xuan? Are there really Soul Kings that strong?"
He paused, then couldn't help but sneer, "Is he some kind of relative of Elder Xuan?!"
"Yuhao!" Wang Yan quickly interrupted him, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"I'm not making this up!" Huo Yuhao retorted, "It's one thing that Elder Xuan didn't have time to act, but as a Super Douluo, he's already touched upon the Dao of Space, yet he couldn't even catch up with a Soul King?"
He couldn't help but scoff, "This probably wasn't intentional, was it?"
Wang Yan shook his head helplessly, sighed, and explained, "The evil soul masters have strange methods, and Elder Xuan was worried about the safety of the students, so he didn't dare to chase them too far."
His voice was full of exhaustion and helplessness.
"What if we fall for their diversionary tactic, and something happens to the remaining students...?"
He didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was already quite clear.
Huo Yuhao: "..."
Huo Yuhao had a fairly good impression of Xuanzi before, but after this incident, he really didn't know what to say.
He was now only thinking how fortunate he was that he had decided not to enter Shrek Academy's inner courtyard a long time ago.
Otherwise, if he really became a direct descendant of Shrek Academy and went out on missions every day, he might not encounter any danger himself, but Xuanzi would be the biggest danger.
"call!"
Huo Yuhao let out a long breath, shaking off the jumbled thoughts in his mind and stopping thinking about it.
He looked at Wang Yan and asked, "Teacher Wang, what are the academy's arrangements for this competition?"
With more than half of the participating team members injured or killed, the academy should at least provide an explanation as to how the competition will proceed.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan also became serious.
A serious expression appeared on his tired face.
"Elder Xuan has just returned to the academy; we'll have to wait for someone from the academy to come and provide more details."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the people in the room.
"Only a few of you will be able to play in tomorrow's game."
His gaze swept over the five people one by one, and finally landed on Huo Yuhao.
"Tomorrow's match," his voice was solemn and earnest, "is all in your hands."
As he spoke, Wang Yan stood up and bowed deeply to Huo Yuhao and the others!
Faced with this situation, Wang Yan was not too flustered, firstly because as a teacher, he could not act rashly.
Secondly, it's because Huo Yuhao is there!
Although he hadn't witnessed it firsthand, Wang Yan had heard about Huo Yuhao's impressive record of defeating five members of the Inner Court in a friendly match.
Such strength would be a pillar of strength in any team.
Huo Yuhao stepped forward and quickly helped Wang Yan up.
Regardless of Xuanzi's character, Wang Yan has always been a good teacher in his heart!
Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Yan, his young face full of solemnity.
"Don't worry, Teacher Wang, with me here, the academy will not fail!"
These words were spoken with absolute certainty – a focus on providing the most comfortable reading experience. There was not a moment's hesitation.
Huo Yuhao came to participate in the competition not just for the competition itself, but also to resolve his "family conflicts".
Those grudges that have been hidden in my heart for many years, and the justice that must be sought, all need to be settled.
In the process of bringing this to a close, he will need the assistance of Shrek Academy.
Therefore, despite his dissatisfaction with Xuanzi and his resentment towards this incident, he remained silent.
But this time, he will ensure that Shrek Academy wins the championship in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.
This can be considered an equivalent exchange.
Each gets what they need, and no one owes anyone anything.
Wang Yan looked at the boy in front of him, whose bitter face held a hint of excitement.
He nodded vigorously, his voice trembling slightly: "With your words, I'm relieved!"
……
As the first rays of sunlight shone on Xingluo City at dawn, Xingluo Square was already packed with people.
At this moment, the stands around the square were packed with spectators from all over the mainland.
Some waved flags, some shouted slogans, and some whispered excitedly to each other, waiting for the grand event to begin.
Today marks the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.
Thousands of Star Luo soldiers, clad in armor and wielding halberds, maintained order around the plaza.
Teams from various colleges took to the stage in an orderly fashion.
Each time a team passed by, cheers would erupt from the stands.
The cheers rose and fell, weaving together into a boiling ocean of excitement.
Finally, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo led his officials to the city wall and looked down over the entire Xingluo Square.
Xu Jiawei, as the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, caused the entire square to fall silent for a moment upon his arrival.
Then, he slowly opened his mouth and delivered a speech, his voice spreading throughout the entire venue through the soul-guided loudspeaker.
Finally, he announced that the competition had officially begun!
As is customary, the first match can also be considered an exhibition match.
Because the team that is taking the stage is none other than the champion of the previous competition—Shrek Academy!
The other side of the competition will draw a "lucky winner" from among the participating teams.
The "lucky ones" of this competition are Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy!
"Please welcome the members of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy to the stage."
The broadcast resounded throughout the venue, clearly echoing in every corner of Xingluo Square.
The seven members of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team slowly walked from the preparation area to the arena.
Their steps were heavy and slow, as if each step was on the tip of a knife.
All seven people had their heads hanging low, their faces showing signs of grief, and their legs were trembling slightly as they walked.
Even with their abilities, they didn't expect to achieve a high ranking.
I came to participate in this competition to broaden my horizons and gain some experience.
But they didn't expect to be eliminated in the first round!
Now it's the knockout stage; losing the match means losing the qualification to advance further.
They traveled all this way just to fight this one battle?
But their opponent is Shrek Academy.
That top academy on the continent, that sacred place in the hearts of countless soul masters, that place that has dominated the Grand Tournament for years!
Faced with such an opponent, they naturally saw no possibility of victory.
"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!..."
Deafening cheers erupted from the surrounding stands.
Almost all the audience members were chanting the name of Shrek Academy.
The sound was like a tidal wave, one wave higher than the next, engulfing the entire square.
For these viewers, watching Shrek Academy's matches is a joy in itself.
As for who the opponent is, it doesn't matter at all.
In this atmosphere, Huo Yuhao glanced at the people around him.
Wang Dong, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and He Caitou stood quietly behind him, waiting for their captain's orders.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and stepped forward.
"Let's go."
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
