The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's evil aura originated from an Evil God King, not some small fry like a Title Douluo. Therefore, it wasn't surprising that the hundreds of years of accumulated evil energy within the Soul Devouring Carving Knife was absorbed so quickly.
Ran Hongyue, who was standing to the side, clicked her tongue in amazement. Huo Yuhao's Demon Breaking Domain, while not particularly strong in terms of attack, possessed terrifying auxiliary abilities.
The "Sever Thoughts" state allowed a person to maintain absolute rationality and make calm judgments, expelling all negative emotions. This was crucial in combat.
The "Chaotic Demon" state amplified an enemy's negative emotions and disrupted their mental state, even leading them to become possessed. This was simply too overpowered.
Now, with the Demon Breaking Domain having absorbed the Soul Devouring Carving Knife's evil energy, its power would undoubtedly increase even further.
While Huo Yuhao was absorbing the Soul Devouring Carving Knife's evil energy, the Shrek Team was engaged in a special conversation.
On the top floor of the Star Emperor Hotel, Beibei, Jiang Nannan, and the others didn't immediately return to their dorms after returning to the hotel. Instead, they were gathered in the conference room by Wang Yan.
This conference room was exclusive to Shrek Academy. Even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy didn't have this privilege, a special honor for Shrek as the previous tournament champions.
After everyone was seated, Wang Yan looked at them and sighed softly before speaking, "Let's not talk about the tournament today. You all saw Huo Yuhao at the auction house earlier. What did you think?"
The room fell silent for a moment.
Finally, Beibei spoke first, "When I was close to him, he gave me a feeling of being elusive, almost ethereal. He's truly unfathomable now. It's unbelievable. I've only felt something similar from a Soul Saint before."
Even Beibei couldn't help but smile wryly as he finished speaking.
Although surprised, the others found it hard to believe. Beibei was talented, but he was still just a Soul Ancestor, on the same level as Huo Yuhao. What could he perceive?
So, everyone's gaze turned to Wang Yan and Dai Yaohang. These two had the highest cultivation levels present, and they wanted to know their assessment.
Seeing the looks directed toward them, Dai Yaohang hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I won't lie to you. I felt the same way as Beibei."
The words hung in the air, and everyone present was genuinely shocked. What kind of joke was this? A Soul Ancestor comparable to a Soul Saint? Even novels wouldn't dare to write something like that. What hope did Shrek have in this competition then?
"What are you thinking? This only means he's good at concealing his aura, not that he has the combat strength of a Soul Saint," Dai Yaohang added at the right moment, seemingly aware of what everyone was thinking.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They thought so too; how could someone at the Soul Ancestor rank be comparable to a Soul Saint?
At this moment, Wang Yan, seated at the head, also spoke, "You don't need to worry about this. Dai Yaohang is right. Your main focus should be on the Soul Kings and Soul Emperors from the Body Sect."
"However, I called you here today not to discuss Huo Yuhao's strength. Whether as your teacher or not, I must warn you: Huo Yuhao is now the young sect master of the Body Sect. Do not get too close to him."
"Teacher Wang, what do you mean by this?" Xiao Xiao asked, her tone displeased. With Wang Dong absent, she and Huo Yuhao had the best relationship among those present aside from Beibei and Wang Qiuer. She was carried all the way through the entrance exam competition. How could she tolerate Wang Yan speaking ill of Huo Yuhao now?
Wang Qiuer and Jiang Nannan also frowned, looking at Wang Yan, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Compared to the others, they were much calmer. They were only casual acquaintances with Huo Yuhao, so they didn't feel anything about what Wang Yan said about him.
Beibei was also silent. At this moment, he had already guessed what Teacher Wang Yan wanted to say.
Wang Yan's gaze swept across everyone, finally landing on Xiao Xiao. Then, in a slightly regretful tone, he said, "I know some of you have a good relationship with him. As his former teacher, I'm not targeting him. It's just, have you all understood the Body Sect's influence?"
"Body Sect, what does this have to do with the Body Sect?" Jiang Nannan asked with a puzzled expression.
Beibei and Dai Yaohang knew the reason, but they kept silent because it was Wang Yan's time to speak.
Sure enough, Wang Yan then began to educate everyone about the Body Sect.
"On the Douluo Continent, there are only a few existences that can compare to our Shrek Academy, including the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, which you've already heard of. They represent the most cutting-edge strength of the Sun Moon Empire."
"You are all core disciples of the academy now, and it won't be too difficult for you to enter the inner court in the future. It's fine to tell you. On Sea God Island, where our Shrek Academy is located, there is a place called the Sea God Pavilion. The elders of our Shrek live there. Xuan Lao is one of the elders. It is also the highest authority of our Shrek Academy. Even the current four deans and vice-deans can only sit at the bottom in the Sea God Pavilion. In the Soul Master world of the Douluo Continent, there is a saying that the most cutting-edge strength of the Douluo Continent is a three-legged situation. This includes the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, our Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, and finally, the Body Sect. Do you know why the Sea God Pavilion was established back then?"
"More than two thousand years ago, an emergence of the Body Sect once caused a great disaster. Our Shrek Academy took it upon itself to fight against them. However, we lost."
"Back then, our Shrek Academy was also filled with masters. But the Body Sect's strength was even more formidable. In order to contend against the Body Sect, the academy had to issue a Shrek Summoning Order, calling the top experts from Shrek Academy back to the academy, and established the Sea God Pavilion. By concentrating all our strength, we defeated the Body Sect. After that incident, the Body Sect disappeared and hasn't made any big moves."
He Caitou exclaimed in surprise, "The Body Sect harms the continent, isn't that the same as an Evil Soul Master? Why doesn't the Soul Master world unite to deal with them?"
Wang Yan shook his head and said, "The Body Sect is different from the Evil Soul Masters. They are both righteous and evil, acting solely on their likes and dislikes. They are also extremely overbearing, so they aren't well-liked. But in reality, the Body Sect has done some good for the continent, it's just that few people know about it. As for wiping out the Body Sect, that's almost impossible. It's said that the Body Sect's sect is located in a natural stronghold, easy to defend and hard to attack. It's impossible to conquer it without a force more than three times the strength of the Body Sect. And how easy is it for the continent to gather a force more than three times their strength and be prepared to make sacrifices?"
