On the other side, the team members of Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy were also walking toward the stage.
Although the radiance spreading from Huo Yuhao had shocked them, surrendering on the spot without a fight was not the style of Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy!
Besides, they had seven people. It wasn't certain they couldn't beat Huo Yuhao!
At the front of the Douling Academy team stood a young man.
This young man had a large skeletal frame but was extremely thin, his cheeks even somewhat sunken. Yet his eyes were bright and full of spirit.
He was their captain — Guzhu Jian!
A faint smile squeezed out of Guzhu Jian's skinny face."I hope through this match we can learn something from Shrek Academy."
Huo Yuhao said calmly, "You certainly will."
A cold glint flashed in Guzhu Jian's eyes, but he merely smiled and didn't refute.
In his view, Huo Yuhao was far too arrogant!
Such a conceited person—let him be the one to crush him!
After all, everyone now believed that Huo Yuhao possessed some sort of disguised soul skill. That dark-gold soul ring just now… might also be a disguise.
"Both sides back off and prepare for the match."
Today's referee appeared over sixty years old, but compared to the previous referees, his presence was steadier and his cultivation clearly stronger.
With him standing there, both sides felt as if some barrier separated them.
This was precisely the intention of the Star Luo Empire. Earlier, Huo Yuhao's Soul Impact had directly knocked out the referee and even landed him two slaps!
The Star Luo Empire's face had been utterly lost!
This time, they changed the referee just to prevent such an incident from happening again!
Before the match began, both sides started their introductions.
Captain of the Douling Battle Team — Guzhu Jian!Martial soul: Zihuang Zhu, a fifty-seventh rank assault-type Battle Soul King. As an assault-type soul master with an artifact martial soul, his combat strength was extremely formidable. Zihuang Zhu was also a very unique existence.
Their vice-captain, extremely burly and named Qian Yuan, possessed a rare assault-type beast martial soul — Kongzhao Xiong. The Kongzhao Xiong martial soul was immensely powerful, excellent in both offense and defense, and could be considered one of the top-tier martial souls. His soul power was fifty-third rank.
The core of the Douling team was a small-built young man standing at the back named Xiao Feng — the "feng" of "lunatic."
His martial soul was a rare spiritual-type, just like Huo Yuhao's. However, his was not a body martial soul, but rather something called Mi Zhi Zhu, the "Mysterious Pearl."
His spiritual-type martial soul differed greatly from Huo Yuhao's. It did not directly act on opponents but primarily manipulated the environment — extremely powerful.
He was one of their five Soul Kings, with cultivation only one rank lower than captain Guzhu Jian and even higher than vice-captain Qian Yuan, at fifty-fourth rank.
These three were the absolute core of this team.
Besides them, there were two more Soul Kings:— Chi Hengyu, fifty-second rank defense-type Battle Soul King— Han Linger, fifty-first rank agility-type Battle Soul King
The remaining two Soul Sects were the auxiliary-type Tang Niuniu and the control-type Qing Feng, each with their own specialties.
Overall, their combat strength far exceeded the Zheng Tian Battle Team that had once given Huo Yuhao significant trouble.
After all, following Huo Yuhao beating the referee, he had even received a warning: on account of Shrek Academy, the matter was forgiven this time…
Next time, his qualification would be revoked!
Well… Huo Yuhao was speechless.
He had to admit, the Zheng Tian Battle Team really had caused him a lot of trouble.
While the sides stepped backward, formations were already shifting.
Guzhu Jian, being the captain and an assault-type Battle Soul Master, did not stand at the very front. Instead, he stood in the center.
At the very front were the Kongzhao Xiong Battle Soul King Qian Yuan and the defensive King with the Vajra Giant Shield, Chi Hengyu.
Agility-type Battle Soul King Han Linger hid directly behind the two of them, keeping close distance.
Meanwhile, the two control-type soul masters actually stood on both wings.
This arrangement protected the central core Guzhu Jian, as well as the very back — the auxiliary-type tool soul master Tang Niuniu.
This formation could only be described as bizarre.
An assault-type soul master standing where a control-type soul master should be — what were they trying to do?
Facing this, Huo Yuhao casually paced around the stage twice, symbolically showing that he too had "lined up."
Yes, he was very conscientious!
But to the opposing team, this gesture was outrageously arrogant!
"Damn Shrek! Damn Huo Yuhao!"
Seeing both sides in position, the referee gestured to both captains and then shouted:
"Match — begin!"
Before the words finished, the referee vanished from the center of the arena as if through instant movement.
Clearly, he was afraid of being stunned again and slapped twice!
Both sides released their martial souls instantly!
The dark-gold radiance enveloped Huo Yuhao — four red, one gold — completely revealed!
Today marked the first time he displayed his true strength!
Before, it had always been deception or borrowed soul rings for show. Now, he no longer needed to hide!
Five rings — Soul King!
Unlike Huo Yuhao's calmness, the Douling team behaved as if racing against time. Among the seven, three had already activated soul skills the instant their martial souls appeared.
One must know: on this wide arena, both sides were a full hundred meters apart.
Soul skills capable of crossing such distance at their level were rare — and wide-range attacks generally meant weaker power.
Just when everyone thought they were about to use offensive soul skills, Douling's defense-type Chi Hengyu released his massive Jingang Dun martial soul.
The giant shield was rectangular at the top and triangular at the bottom, standing over two meters tall and one and a half meters wide. Even someone as robust as Chi Hengyu had to tilt it upward to keep it from touching the ground.
As the Vajra Shield appeared, his first action was to stab it forcefully into the ground. Immediately afterward, his fifth soul ring lit up—dazzling white light bursting forth alongside the purple glow of the fifth ring.
The already massive Vajra Shield expanded in an instant — splitting into two, then into four, then eight. In moments, it transformed into a gigantic wall of shields, forcibly cutting off everything in front of them.
This was Chi Hengyu's fifth soul skill — Jingang Bilei (Vajra Barricade).
An extremely powerful defensive soul skill.
And he wasn't the only one to move. The control-type Soul Sect Qing Feng and the auxiliary-type tool Soul Sect Tang Niuniu also attacked simultaneously.
Such a strange formation and coordination made Wang Dong, watching below the stage, unable to help worrying for Huo Yuhao.
"Huo Yuhao! Don't you dare get careless!"
