Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 365 Huo Yuhao's Secret Strategy Against Yuwen Tuo in the Quarterfinals

Another day passed. Although the group stage was completed, the actual draw for the quarterfinals would not take place until the next day, while the matches would be held the day after tomorrow, giving all teams two days to prepare.

The four teams that finished first in their group stepped forward to draw their opponents. Tangmen sent Jiang Nannan, who looked at the two lots in front of her, feeling very nervous.

Drawing the Star Luo National Academy is the best possible outcome, while drawing the Ghost Valley Academy is the worst possible outcome.

Unfortunately, some things are destined. In the original story, the Tang Sect's opponent in this battle was the Snow Demon Sect, which was actually Long Aotian and Vina's group.

The only difference is that in the original story, the Snow Demon Sect, which ranked first in the group, drew the Tang Sect, while this time the Tang Sect drew the Ghost Valley Sect, which ranked second in the group.

When Jiang Nannan opened the fortune slip in her hand, she saw the two big characters "Guigu" written on it. She was immediately filled with despair. What kind of luck was this?
Actually, there was another person who was just as desperate as her, and that was Princess Xu Jiujiu.

Unlike the Tang Clan, she didn't have high ambitions or the need to win the championship. When she saw that their Xingluo group included the Tang Clan, Guigu, and Shengling, she knew it was a group of death, and the outcome would be the same no matter which group they faced.

Reaching the quarterfinals is already a good result, considering that this year's Shrek Academy didn't even make it out of the knockout stage.

That's why she preferred to encounter Ghost Valley Sect rather than Holy Spirit Sect, since Ghost Valley Sect wouldn't kill non-evil soul masters, while Holy Spirit Sect was a bunch of lunatics.

They vented their fear of Yuwentuo on other teams, and unless they surrendered immediately upon encountering them, they were bound to suffer casualties.

But she carried the glory of Xingluo on her shoulders; how could she surrender without a fight when she encountered an evil soul master?

It can be said that Jiang Nannan's single signature plunged a group of people into despair.

Soon, the four groups of matches were determined.

The first match in the upper bracket is between Tianlongmen and Mingdu Soul Master Academy.

The second match in the upper bracket is between the Proud Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The first match in the second half of the bracket is between the Holy Spirit Sect and the Star Luo National Academy.

The second match in the lower bracket is between Tangmen and Guigu.

Huo Yuhao stared intently in the direction of Guigu, a sea-blue light flashing on his forehead. This was a match that Tang Sect could not afford to lose. This was the only chance to restore Shrek Academy's millennia-long glory and allow Tang Sect, which had been in decline for thousands of years, to rise again, even if it meant cheating.

He was originally at a loss, but for some reason, a brilliant idea suddenly flashed into his mind, though it was a little despicable.

But compared to the glory of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect for tens of thousands of years, his personal reputation is utterly insignificant.

"Senior Brother, Dong'er, the competition the day after tomorrow will require the three of us to work together. I have a winning strategy," Huo Yuhao said.

In terms of raw strength, they are indeed far from being a match for Yuwen Tuo. However, they actually have a hidden method to kill Yuwen Tuo. If the plan succeeds, even Yuwen Tuo will surely die.

Originally, because Yuwen Tuo helped him save Dong'er, he had even put aside part of his hatred for killing his master, but at this point, there was no other way.

In the God Realm, Tang San gazed down at the mortal realm. Although he had been closely watched by the God of Destruction recently, and even though he had discovered Yuwen Tuo, he couldn't directly attack Yuwen Tuo because of the God of Destruction and the God of Fire.

But he must keep this other chosen one in his grasp. If that's not possible, then he should concentrate his luck on Huo Yuhao, since Huo Yuhao is his future son-in-law.

Just as Huo Yuhao made up his mind, Qiu'er's destiny seemed to sense it as well.

"Tuo, I suddenly had a bad feeling. It's like the power of fate is warning me," Qiu'er said to Yuwen Tuo. "What changes might happen in the competition the day after tomorrow?"

"A variable?" Yuwentuo thought for a moment. "Could it be Xu Tianran? No, Xu Tianran's plan shouldn't be fully prepared yet. He wouldn't act so quickly. So, it's Huo Yuhao?"

"Tuo, for your safety, I suggest you participate in the next match as well. I can feel that ominous premonition, and only you can dispel it," Qiu'er said.

Because her power of destiny was not intercepted and remained intact, her sixth sense was far stronger than Huo Yuhao's in the original story.

"Alright, Qiu'er, I believe you!" Yuwen Tuo nodded. Since Qiu'er had said so, he wouldn't be arrogant. Just after Yuwen Tuo agreed, in a very, very far place, far beyond the limits of Douluo Continent, the limits of the God Realm, and the limits of the universe...

On a desolate wasteland, a cute little boy ran towards a man holding a flower. Beside the man lay a golden ancient sword, the real Xuanyuan Sword. However, for some reason, there was a crack on the blade that should have been perfect, and a small piece was missing.

"Daddy, look! These are the flowers I just picked for my brother. When will he come back?" the little boy asked with a smile.

The man smiled and gently stroked the boy's head, saying, "He'll come back, don't worry. When he returns, let him tell you his story from that world, okay?"

"Yes!" The little boy nodded gently.

Just then, an eagle swooped down from the sky and landed on the man's shoulder.

Upon seeing the eagle, the boy sweetly called out "Mother," and the eagle looked at the boy with a gentle, watery gaze.

"Ke, you sensed it just now, didn't you? It seems someone is plotting against my disciple." The man stood up, and a jade-green mirror appeared in his hand.

Then, a river of time, as wide as the Milky Way, appeared in the mirror.

The man saw the guy's scheme against his Tuo'er, but as expected of his Tuo'er, he managed to escape the crisis by relying on his own abilities in the future shown by the River of Time. However, he didn't like the method he used; it was actually escapism.

But there was nothing that could be done. The man used the Kunlun Mirror to create another future, in which Yuwen Tuo would die if he didn't escape. In other words, Huo Yuhao's plan could really kill him.

“What kind of solution is to run away? Let’s fight him head-on! Although we’re too far apart to help him much, the River of Time within him was condensed by me using the power of the Kunlun Mirror. Since that’s the case, it’s not impossible to briefly connect with the power of the Kunlun Mirror within him. I need to give that guy over there a little reminder: there should be limits to bullying the weak! It just so happens that Tuo’er has grown up now, and there are some things I need to tell him. It seems he has received the divine inheritance from that world. Although there’s nothing wrong with that, I still need to give him a wake-up call. He must not become too obsessed with it and put the cart before the horse. The Xuanyuan Sword is his true future!”

The Sun and Moon Empire, time quickly came to the day after tomorrow.

The quarterfinals of the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament have officially begun.

The first match is between Tianlongmen and Mingdu Soul Master Academy.

Xu Tianzhen and her team took to the stage with a captivating dance. Xu Tianzhen is well-liked by the public for her innocence, cuteness, and kind heart.

It has long been praised as "a place where the light shines and the innocence is promising".

Her talent was indeed extraordinary; at the age of eighteen, she already possessed the strength of a Soul Emperor at level sixty-two.

They are no less impressive than Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and others from back then.

"Little brother, look here, look here! Your big sister is here! Remember to cheer for your big sister!" Xu Tianzhen waved enthusiastically in Yuwen Tuo's direction.

Jiang Peng put his arm around Yuwen Tuo's shoulder and said, "Hey, brother, aren't you going to cheer up your sister? But Tianlong Sect is one of our people after all."

"Let's not take sides!" Yuwen Tuo said.

He didn't dislike Xu Tianzhen, and besides, Xu Tianzhen had indeed helped him a few days ago. Moreover, Yu Yuancheng, the leader of the Tianlong Sect, had also contributed to helping him escape Shrek Academy.

Therefore, he could only watch from both sides without favoring either side.

Not getting a response, the naturally optimistic Xu Tianzhen wasn't annoyed. "Hmm, my brother isn't replying to me. Oh well, it's okay. After all, the opponent is from his country. I'll just do my best and ask my brother for praise after I win the game, hehe!"

First up is the individual competition.

In order to make a good impression on her younger brother, Xu Tianzhen chose to go first.

On the Tianlongmen side, the first to appear was their captain, Yu Tianlong. It seems that the two teams had the same idea and were both preparing to gain an early lead in points in the individual competition.
