Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 127 The List of Young Geniuses, what kind of unofficial list is this?
After exchanging words with the others, Luo Yanglu walked out of the room and ran into Wu Changkong, who frowned at him and said, "Could you please show some leniency?"

He had heard about what happened.

Shen Yi's understanding of Huo Yuhao was incomplete, and he might think that their side had a chance to win, but Wu Changkong, who knew Huo Yuhao's strength, understood that this time the academy would probably... suffer a crushing defeat.

Luo Yanglu paused, then, considering the harmonious relationship between the two sides recently, sighed and said bluntly:
"Teacher Wu, respect is mutual. You should ask them if they are willing to go easy on you. Besides... Yuhao needs this opportunity, and since it's presented to us, we can't let it go."

Wu Changkong pursed his lips, remaining silent for a moment.

……

In the Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament, the most attention-grabbing event is naturally the seven-person team competition, followed by the five-person team competition.

Not only were there 80,000 spectators at the venue, but many viewers were also watching these highly anticipated matches on the Soul Guidance screens.

Including Dean Yu of Donghai College.

He was somewhat bewildered after news of Shrek Academy students challenging Class Zero to a duel reached the Soul Guidance Network.

Their college has become famous this time, famous in every sense of the word.

In the office, Long Hengxu looked at Dean Yu and said with a wry smile, "Professor Luo's words are to put our minds at ease. He will handle it properly and it won't affect the college."

"...I'm not worried about the academy's reputation." Dean Yu shook his head and said, "Right now, the Alliance is mostly praising it."

Perhaps due to their crushing defeat in the previous exhibition match, the Tianhai Alliance desperately needed a shift in public opinion. Under the Alliance's manipulation, no one is optimistic about the Zero Class kids anymore, but few are belittling them either; instead, they are seen as courageous.

In everyone's eyes, this was a coaching match that started with a verbal argument.

"Alright, that's enough. The five-person group competition has begun." At this moment, seeing the scene on the soul guide screen, Dean Yu's eyes flashed, and he sat up straight to watch the competition.

The five-person and seven-person matches are the two most-watched events, with the former taking place at noon and the latter at night, both times when online traffic is high. This is Donghai Academy's first five-person match, against Tianhai Academy, one of the top-ranked teams in the league.

But when Dean Yu saw the contestants coming on their side, a smile appeared on his lips, showing no concern that they would lose.

Those are geniuses from the Spirit Pagoda.

On the field, the referee glanced at the two ready competitors and called out:
"Game start!"

The five members of Tianhai Academy had just formed their battle formation when their captain shouted sternly, "Release your Martial Souls—"

However, before he could finish speaking, a clear, cold voice rang out.

"let me."

Gu Yuena took a step forward, her black hair moving without wind, and three soul rings suddenly rose from her feet.

——Yellow, yellow, purple!

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

"Three Ring Soul Lord!"

Most incredibly, the girl who stood in the center of the arena and single-handedly intimidated the entire audience was only a little over ten years old.

The pupils of the Tianhai Academy team members shrank, but before they could recover from their shock, Gu Yuena's soul skill had already been activated.

With a light tap of her fingertips, the entire arena seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and violent elemental power surged out like a tsunami.

Flames transformed into raging dragons, ice solidified into sharp blades, and the ground surged like waves under the control of earth elements. The Tianhai Academy team members were completely swallowed up by this overwhelming elemental storm before they could even fully unleash their defensive soul skills!

"boom--!!!"

The five students from Tianhai Academy were sent flying backwards like kites with broken strings, crashing onto the edge of the field and completely losing their fighting ability.

There was a burst of exclamations from the audience.

This girl... seems even more terrifying than the Shrek Academy girl from yesterday. Is she actually a student within their Skysea Alliance?
And it seems she's not even the team leader from Donghai Academy, so...

For a moment, many spectators became excited. They might be destined for defeat, but this match between East Sea Academy and Shrek Academy was likely to hold many surprises.

"She is... a Three-Ring Soul Master?"

Ye Xinglan, who was also sitting in the audience, suddenly narrowed her eyes. The usual calm smile on her lips froze, replaced by astonishment and disbelief.

Gu Yuena is about the same age as her, how could her cultivation level be higher than hers? What about her pride then?
"So that's how it is. Being with Huo Yuhao, she's indeed no simple woman. This ability to manipulate elements... She must be Gu Yuena, who ranked thirteenth on the list of young geniuses, right? A ten-year-old Soul Master who can still manipulate so many elements, we need to be careful."

Yu Longheng, who had initially paid little attention to the girl, also frowned.

"A list of young geniuses? What kind of unofficial list is that? I've never even heard of it!"

Ye Xinglan snapped out of her daze, her eyes slightly red, and shouted something before storming off from the audience.

Yu Longheng glanced in the direction she left, then looked away, not caring that she had also insulted him. He simply frowned and looked down at Huo Yuhao, who hadn't yet taken the stage.

I had hoped to take advantage of this competition to see Huo Yuhao's strength, but it seems that's not going to happen now.

“However,” Yu Longheng said with a cold smile, “there was no need to be so cautious in the first place.”

Apart from Gu Yuena, everyone else was a Great Soul Master, and there was even a one-ring Soul Master. Although it was surprising that he possessed a thousand-year-old Soul Spirit, the gap between them was too great to affect the outcome of the battle.

As Xie Xie walked off the stage down the aisle below, he exclaimed in astonishment, "Sister Na went all out this time!"

"After all, the match against Shrek Academy is tonight. If Sister Na doesn't take action, who knows what others will think of us."

Zhang Yangzi said helplessly, "I feel like the way the audience is looking at us is a bit strange..."

However, things seemed even more off after Gu Yuena made her move.

On the other side, Gu Yuena walked to Huo Yuhao's side, thought for a moment, and said softly, "Yuhao, come over tonight."

"..."

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena exchanged a glance, remained silent for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Okay."

……

The Tianhai Alliance promoted the match between Shrek Academy and Donghai Academy extensively, and the seven-person battle itself was eye-catching, attracting widespread attention.

As the last rays of the setting sun sank below the horizon, the 80,000 seats at the Tianhai Stadium were already packed. The darkness did not diminish the enthusiasm of the spectators; on the contrary, it enveloped the entire stadium in a vibrant atmosphere.

Box No. 1 at Tianhai Stadium

This place has always been reserved for the official Tianhai City team. Whenever there is a major event, the heavyweights of Tianhai City and Tianhai Alliance will gather here to watch the game.

But today was different. Shen Yi and Luo Yanglu sat at the front of the private room, with other high-ranking members of the Tianhai Alliance behind them.

Long Huantian, the dean of Tianhai Intermediate Academy in Tianhai City, looked at this scene with a strange expression.

He didn't know what was going on before, but now that he saw a Shrek teacher and a Spirit Tower staff member sitting at the front, he immediately made a connection.

Is this an unusual clash between two major forces?
No wonder it caused such a huge stir.

Hopefully, this match can help Tianhai Academy cover up their previous defeat.

Then, thinking of something more important, Long Huantian sighed inwardly.

Shen Yi, sitting in the front seat, glanced at Luo Yanglu and said, "Huo Yuhao is indeed exceptionally talented. At only ten years old, he has already become a Soul Master, and his spiritual power is unfathomable. But this is a team battle. Aren't you worried that he might encounter setbacks?"

Luo Yang said, "There are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Teacher Shen will understand."

If he remembered correctly, Yuhao had gone to the Spirit Ascension Platform after his breakthrough, so he should already be there now...

A smile appeared on Luoyang Road's lips.
