Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 465 Encountering Xiao Hongchen, It's Impolite Not to Reciprocate (Bonus Chapter)

In Beibei's room, the five people had already arrived, their brows still showing signs of tension.

"Sigh, why would the academy let the reserve team's main players go!"

Xu Sanshi was still sighing.

Xiao Xiao spoke softly:
"Huo Yuhao is so amazing..."

“I’ve seen it with my own eyes, even Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao was defeated by him.”

"If he goes all out, we might not be without a chance of winning."

Jiang Nannan slowly nodded.

"Huo Yuhao's martial spirit is extremely terrifying."

"When his mysterious giant ape martial spirit manifested, even my soft-boned rabbit trembled."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into silence.

Beibei broke the silence.

"Wang Dong has already gone to invite Huo Yuhao; hopefully he can come."

There was not a trace of dissatisfaction on the faces of the five people.

If it were someone else...

They were already furious that they had to be invited like this before they would discuss tactics.

But Huo Yuhao is different.

The strength displayed in those two moves.

Even they, as the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils, couldn't help but feel respect.

After a while.

A soft knock sounded on the door.

The wooden door was then pushed open.

The boy in the blue robe entered the room, and Bei Bei and the others all stood up.

"welcome!"

"Huo Yuhao, you've finally arrived!"

Upon seeing him, everyone felt as if they had found a lifeline, and the heavy burden on their hearts immediately eased by a third.

Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile and casually chose a seat to sit down.

"I'm sorry, I was cultivating just now and didn't know we needed to discuss tactics."

Seeing his humility, everyone exclaimed:
"It's alright, it's alright, it's just that we didn't make an appointment in advance."

At this time.

Wang Dong followed closely behind, his eyes darting around, and walked straight to the empty seat next to Huo Yuhao.

Unexpectedly, she had just sat down.

Huo Yuhao then got up and moved to Bei Bei's side.

"you……"

Wang Dong was choked with anger, his chest heaving violently.

But Huo Yuhao remained calm and focused, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

in the room.

The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.

Bei Bei and the others looked at Wang Dong, then at Huo Yuhao, all puzzled as to why.

"Regarding tactical arrangements..."

Beibei tentatively opened her mouth.

All eyes turned to Huo Yuhao.

"I have no objection, I'll follow your arrangements."

Beibei said sincerely:
"Yuhao, you are the strongest, so you should take the position of reserve team captain..."

Huo Yuhao interrupted gently:
"I am not a student of Shrek Academy. The reason I participated in the competition was because of a promise I made to my senior sister."

"Beibei, you are more suitable to take on the role of captain."

Beibei stopped refusing, took a deep breath, and began to discuss the strategy for the next day's competition.

period.

Huo Yuhao listened silently throughout.

He nodded only when necessary.

From midday until dusk, the group repeatedly rehearsed their tactics until they grew weary, at which point they finally departed.

Noon the next day.

The group gathered again to rehearse their tactics.

After lunch.

Bei Bei suggested going to the martial arts arena in the hotel's basement for a practical training exercise and asked Huo Yuhao for his opinion.

In this regard.

Huo Yuhao had no objection.

2 p.m.

The seven people entered the underground martial arts arena.

To welcome this year's Soul Master Tournament, the royal family specially built dedicated training grounds for each team.

Shrek Academy, on the other hand, enjoys the most spacious No. 1 venue.

As soon as you step into the underground corridor, you can hear booming sounds coming from the secret chambers on both sides.

Even with soundproofing materials blocking the way, one could still feel the surging soul energy fluctuations behind the door.

Beibei and the others sensed many powerful auras, and their expressions became increasingly solemn.

Enter Training Ground No. 1.

After a while.

A series of energy explosions echoed throughout the arena.

"Oh? The Shrek team has already arrived?"

At this moment, a team of seven entered the basement.

The handsome young man at the head of the group heard the commotion from court number one and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Shrek Academy has won the championship for many consecutive years and is still so diligent. It's a pity that your winning streak will end when I participate in the next competition."

His name is Xiao Hongchen.

He is the captain of the reserve team of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Although he is not participating in the competition, he came here specifically to observe the competition and to personally assess the quality of the Shrek reserve team.

"If one team doesn't come to training, we'll go in and practice."

He glanced at the No. 1 training ground.

He turned around and pushed open the door to the No. 2 training ground next door.

Time passed amidst the fierce battle.

Squeak!

The gates of Training Ground No. 1 opened.

Beibei and the others walked out, their clothes soaked with sweat, but their eyes burning with determination.

After this practical experience, we were able to hone our skills.

Everyone felt they had benefited greatly, their anxiety gradually dissipated, and their confidence grew stronger.

Just at this time.

The gates of the No. 2 training ground also opened in response.

The seven people, led by Xiao Hongchen, stepped out.

I saw Beibei and her group.

Xiao Hongchen was slightly taken aback at first, then a broad smile bloomed on his handsome face.

Beibei and the others naturally recognized these formidable rivals from the Sun Moon Royal Academy. Their smiles faded slightly as they walked away with their heads held high.

In the deep, dark corridor.

The two teams walked side by side.

When other teams from different colleges saw these two teams, they all gave them a wide berth and whispered among themselves.

"It's Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Academy!"

"This year's champion and runner-up will once again be these two companies!"

"Judging by their age, they must be in the reserve team!"

"The arch-rivals of the next Soul Master Competition have met ahead of schedule!"

Listening to the discussions that arose all around.

Xiao Hongchen's smile remained undiminished.

He suddenly turned his head.

Look at Beibei at the very front of the Shrek team.

"Reserve squad captain?"

Beibei responded calmly.

"Just like you."

"Ah……"

Xiao Hongchen's gaze was like a knife, sweeping over each of the Shrek Academy members, his aggressive intent undisguised.

"As my opponent for the next round, I, Xiao Hongchen, offer this friendly reminder..."

"You all still need to practice diligently, lest I win in a way that is too boring."

Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and others glared at him angrily.

Beibei turned her head and looked directly at Xiao Hongchen, her eyes flashing with lightning.

"I return these words to you exactly as they were said."

Just at this time.

The two teams walked to the middle of the corridor.

A row of waist-high bronze tripods divides the passageway into two distinct sides.

Bang!
hum!
Xiao Hongchen suddenly flipped his palm and struck the large cauldron beside him, a dull rumble reverberating throughout the entire floor.

The massive cauldron, weighing a thousand pounds, flew horizontally in response, crashing directly into Bei Bei, who was standing side by side with it.

Beibei unleashed a burst of lightning from her right palm, striking the oncoming cauldron, but was jolted back several steps by the impact.

"Beibei!"

Xu Sanshi and the others hurriedly shouted.

"Hahaha, hurry up and help your captain up!"

Xiao Hongchen and his six teammates burst into loud laughter.

See this scene.

The onlookers from various teams immediately erupted in uproar.

"A two-thousand-pound cauldron was sent flying with a single palm strike. Is Xiao Hongchen really not even fifteen yet?"

"Shrek's reserve team captain was actually suppressed. Could it be that Sun Moon Royal Academy is going to win the championship next year?"

Just as the noise was at its peak.

A figure in blue robes suddenly stepped forward and stood next to Xiao Hongchen.

"It's rude to come and not reciprocate."

Huo Yuhao chuckled.

He raised his hand and gently patted the five-thousand-pound cauldron beside him.

boom!
Click!

Where the palm lands.

A deafening roar, like a muffled thunderclap, suddenly erupted.

The shockwave made everyone present feel a ringing in their ears and their blood surging.

The cauldron cracked open with a series of fissures, and with overwhelming force, it hurtled straight toward Xiao Hongchen.
