Thinking that too many words might cause trouble, Wang Dong snorted coldly.
"Hmph! Do you think I'm like you, with a mind full of filth?"
"That's enough, I'm done talking—let's get ready for battle!"
With that, Wang Dong turned and faced away from Huo Yuhao, ignoring him entirely.
The elimination matches would span two days, and today was the team battle.
The team that won would have one foot already in the quarterfinals. The individual elimination matches would be held the following day.
As the match time approached, the audience's excitement grew ever more intense.
The more battles they watched, the better they appreciated the fights.
The fiercest confrontations were about to begin—how could they not want to see them?
The Xingluo Square today had more spectators than usual, all squeezed in through connections and channels.
All for the sake of witnessing an epic showdown!
Especially since this morning, Shrek Academy would fight again, and their opponent was one of last year's top four teams.
This made it even more attention-grabbing.
"Sixteen to eight, first match: Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy versus Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy. Both teams, enter the standby zone and prepare for the match!"
The referee's voice on the stage sent waves of cheering through the crowd, igniting the atmosphere to a fever pitch.
Even the troops maintaining order had to remain on high alert for any emergencies.
The Emperor of the Xingluo Empire, as usual, arrived early at the royal city walls. Whenever Shrek Academy competed, he was always present.
Under Wang Yan's leadership, Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luozhen, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and three others entered the standby zone together.
The Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy immediately became alert upon noticing Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luozhen among Shrek's participants.
Could it be that today, for the team battle, Shrek was finally fielding Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luozhen?
Wang Yan looked at his team members, pressed his lips, and said solemnly:
"Making it this far has not been easy. Each of you has fought with blood and effort to reach here!"
"Just remember—give it your all! That's enough!"
"Victory is certain!"
"VICTORY!!!" Seven voices shouted in unison.
Just these simple words, shouted aloud, transformed everyone's focus. Whatever distractions they had a moment ago vanished. Their battle intent surged instantly.
Battle—this is how one grows!
From the start of the competition until now, Wang Yan could clearly see the growth of these seven reserve team members.
Their mindset, emotions, fighting desire, and combat experience were all expanding at an astonishing rate.
Like a bottomless sponge, constantly absorbing everything that could make them stronger.
Especially Huo Yuhao—unconsciously, his strength had once again broken through. Now, he had even reached the rank of Soul King!
Feeling Huo Yuhao's aura, Wang Yan was pleasantly surprised.
Wait—Soul King?!
The comforting Wang Yan snapped awake. If he remembered correctly…
Huo Yuhao wasn't supposed to be a Soul Lord yet!
What on earth had happened?!
"Both teams, onto the stage!"
Wang Yan's swirling thoughts were pulled back by the referee's voice.
Yes, now was not the time to ponder why Huo Yuhao had become a Soul King. The match itself was the focus.
And once again, it was just Huo Yuhao stepping onto the stage alone!
Compared to previous skepticism, this time everyone had fallen silent.
After all, Huo Yuhao had already brought forth too many miracles.
The audience's eyes now shone with anticipation. Huo Yuhao would fight the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy solo.
What kind of surprises would he bring them?
The excitement was palpable!
Cheering filled every corner of the stands:
"Huo Yuhao!""Huo Yuhao!""Huo Yuhao!"
…
The wild cheers coursing through the arena made Huo Yuhao's blood surge!
His soul skills were upgrading!
As he stepped onto the stage, his fifth soul ring condensed high above, glowing a dazzling dark gold.
The terrifying pressure…
No—it wasn't just pressure!
It was as if a true god had descended, making all beings bow in awe from the heart.
"Ding! Host bloodline power detected, soul skill upgrading!"
This million-year soul ring glowed dark gold and carried nine soul skills in total:
Pierce → Dragon Roar: When the Dragon God descends, its roar spreads across the continent, and all living beings worship! (Ignores 50% of soul device defenses!)
Critical → Dragon Claw: Dragon God's claws can destroy everything before them. Nothing seems able to stop them! (100% critical, doubles damage!)
Stun → Dragon Breath: Dragon God's breath punishes the rebellious! (100% chance to stun enemies for 5 seconds; cannot stun soul devices!)
Combo → Dragon Soars the Sky: The sky belongs to the dragon. Transform into Dragon God, and strike twice while the enemy is confused! (100% chance for continuous attack; each hit counts as two damage instances; can stack with critical!)
Dodge → Dragon Ascends Nine Heavens: A Dragon God soaring in the sky, unseen and invisible! (100% chance to dodge three strong attacks!)
Multicolor → Reversed Scales: Touch a dragon's reversed scale and incur its wrath! (While activated and with remaining soul power, immune to control, suppression, and negative effects!)
Amplify → Dragon Orb: The essence of the dragon contained within! (Increases overall strength by 50%!)
Silence → Dragon Awe: Mortals who behold the majestic Dragon God are captivated! (Silences enemy soul masters for 5 minutes, preventing soul skill use; only normal soul power can be used!)
Recover → Dragon Fall: When the Dragon God falls, all life revives, and the cycle of life renews! (Instantly restores all consumed soul power; once per day!)
Bathing in divine light, Huo Yuhao commanded reverence as all beings submitted before him.
His aura enveloped the arena like a true god, shaking even Douluo Star itself!
The dark gold soul ring behind him stopped flashing, leaving only a faint shimmering glow.
Feeling his skills evolve, Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, looking at the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy team.
"Everyone, the battle… begins now!"
