Douluo Continent: The Peerless Hunting Heavenly Lord, Huo Yuhao!

The first soul skill, Heaven's Ultimate - All Things Clear, was activated instantly. The formless and intangible spiritual meridians, like a fine net of light, instantly and firmly linked the consciousness of the seven Shrek Seven Devils.

With everyone sharing a common vision, making synchronized predictions, and maintaining a unified rhythm of soul power, there was not a single flaw in their coordination.

At the same time, light and shadow condensed in Huo Yuhao's palm, and the slender Emperor Bow steadily appeared. The bowstring hummed and vibrated, and the platinum arrow was fully formed.

He loosened the string with his fingertips!

The arrow pierced the sky, trailing a dazzling blue-gold light, like a falling meteor, heading straight for the face of Gu Zhujian, the captain of the Douling team.

Gu Zhujian's expression suddenly hardened. He dared not underestimate this probing arrow. With a flick of his wrist, his martial spirit, Purple Bamboo, instantly appeared.

His soul rings flickered rapidly, and swathes of purple-blue bamboo shadows rose from the ground, crisscrossing and instantly forming a dense bamboo forest barrier that firmly blocked his way.

Zheng!

The golden arrow shattered several bamboo branches before being stopped by the layers of bamboo forest walls, its remaining force sending up a flurry of broken leaves.

The audience below the ring held their breath instantly.

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, then secretly understood.

Such a strong reaction? It was just a normal test shot.

Huo Yuhao instantly understood the tactical layout of the Lone Bamboo Sword.

Gu Zhujian knew perfectly well that the overall strength of Shrek Academy in this year's competition had already overwhelmed all the participating teams in previous years, and there was absolutely no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

Therefore, he set his tactics from the beginning: to single-handedly restrain and hold off Shrek's main force, using his physical body and spirit barrier to block the entire field, giving his teammates time to build up their strength, and then using his ultimate soul guide thunder cannon to end the team battle in one wave!

Unfortunately, all his schemes were within Huo Yuhao's script.

Huo Yuhao simultaneously informed the entire team through the mental link:

"Please hold them back for a moment, this match will end soon."

Although the Shrek team had doubts, they were ready to act.

The next instant, the soul rings around the Lone Bamboo Sword shone brightly!

The endless purple bamboo grew wildly and spread, frantically wrapping around and covering the entire arena. The dense bamboo cage instantly trapped all seven Shrek Seven Devils, sealing off all escape routes.

Bamboo cages were used to lock the area and block the view!

Wang Yan, sitting in the audience, narrowed his eyes and instantly saw through the tactic: "It's a tactic of locking down the field and creating space! The opponent is trying to buy time for their soul-guided weapon to charge up!"

Inside the cage, the Shrek team reacted quickly, instantly regaining their composure and unleashing their soul power. Various soul skills bombarded the bamboo walls, causing the entire bamboo cage to tremble violently.

Huo Yuhao remained calm and composed. His azure-green ultimate wind wings unfurled behind him, and he lightly took to the air, instantly breaking free from the bamboo forest's confinement. He hovered in mid-air, overlooking the entire scene.

His vision pierced through the layers of bamboo shadows, and he could see everything clearly.

The remaining six members of the Douling team had already retreated to the back of the arena, their knees slightly lowered, their soul power fully concentrated. Beneath the platform, a giant Thunder Soul Guidance Cannon had been erected, its muzzle glowing with blue light as it charged, crackling with electricity, and its destructive aura constantly rising.

"You've escaped after all."

Gu Zhujian looked up at Huo Yuhao in mid-air, his expression calm, as if he had everything under control.

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and chuckled: "You already guessed that I could break the deadlock?"

“Uncertain.” Gu Zhujian slowly rose, holding the Purple Bamboo and stepping forward with a solemn look in his eyes. “But the miracles you have created have never been a one-time occurrence. I have never dared to underestimate the captain of Shrek Academy.”

"Then you are indeed quite bold."

Huo Yuhao's smile faded, and the Emperor Bow in his palm shifted in light and shadow, instantly changing its weapon form.

A heavy, dark, jet-black greatsword replaced the longbow, its blade patterned with a menacing design, and a scarlet vertical pupil at the hilt twitched slightly.

"Shrek, that's enough. Prepare for your defeat!"

Holding the Purple Bamboo Sword, the sword gleamed with purple light. Facing Huo Yuhao, who was suspended in mid-air, he spoke calmly, as if he were merely stating a predetermined ending.

"Not necessarily."

As Huo Yuhao finished speaking, an extreme wind suddenly swept over his body.

The invisible wind blade condensed into a tangible sword aura, bursting forth and sweeping across the battlefield in an instant!

The speed was pushed to its limit by the extreme wind. Gu Zhujian didn't even have time to react before he was violently blasted several meters away by the raging wind and landed with a stagger.

Huo Yuhao used the momentum to dive forward, instantly traversing dozens of meters of the arena and landing directly in front of the Douling team's charged cannon array.

Before the six people opposite him could change their expressions or stop gathering their strength, Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly exploded with spiritual power!

Supernatural Powers – Illusory Sea Dream!

The ultimate mental power surged like a tsunami, instantly engulfing all members of the fighting spirit.

The six Soul Masters' minds went blank instantly, their consciousness fell into an illusory dream, their bodies stiffened and solidified, their charging movements came to an abrupt halt, and they were completely imprisoned and locked in by mental confinement.

Without the slightest pause, Huo Yuhao swept his wrist horizontally, and the Yazi Heavy Sword, accompanied by a gust of wind, slashed out!

The heavy sword force swept across the entire arena. The six members of the Fighting Spirit team were powerless to resist and were all swept away by the sword wind, falling off the stage one after another, and were eliminated instantly.

After dealing with the rear-row attacking team members, Huo Yuhao's gaze returned to Gu Zhujian, who was barely standing.

He raised his hand and held the heavy sword horizontally, the sword wind gathering once more: "Beyond the Laws—Devouring Evil!"

The extreme wind transformed into domineering and solid sword energy, crashing into the body of the solitary bamboo!

The moment the sword strikes, the mark of sin lands on the Lone Bamboo Sword, which is enveloped in a faint black and red aura. Twenty points of sin value are seamlessly stacked throughout the process, and the damage amplification effect is triggered simultaneously.

Gu Zhuzhu trembled violently, Gu Zhujian's tiger's mouth went numb, and he staggered backward, his eyes filled with shock and complexity: "...You are indeed ridiculously strong."

Huo Yuhao asked calmly, "Now, are you going to admit defeat?"

"no way."

The Lone Bamboo Sword shook its head, and the Purple Radiance Bamboo was fully activated, sending thousands of bamboo blades flying out.

"In that case, take another sword strike from me."

Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he brought his heavy sword down in a vertical slash!

Verdict: Convicted!

An immense force pressed down from above, instantly shattering the bamboo shadow barrier surrounding Gu Zhujian, who was then forced to kneel on the ground under its immense weight.

Above the arena, Huo Yuhao stood silently, the crimson pupils of the Yazi Heavy Sword growing ever brighter.

The accumulated sin points have steadily exceeded one hundred, and the conditions for triggering the finishing move have been fully met!

"The sword is drawn; it will not return until blood is drawn! Wrathful spirit, Yazi, summon me!"

A furious glare and a sword in hand—a punishment without mercy!

Finishing move unlocked!

The Yazi Heavy Sword fully unleashed its true form, with a ferocious dragon head phantom rising from the sword. A terrifying extreme wind swept across the entire arena, howling and exploding air currents, enveloping the entire arena in a destructive wind domain.

Gu Zhujian's pupils constricted sharply. Without even a chance to struggle, he was swept away by the whirlwind and sent flying, crashing heavily to the edge of the arena. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes closed, and he fell into a deep coma, completely losing his ability to fight.

The high level of sin points triggered a severe speed reduction penalty, and the lingering effects of the debunking in the arena persisted for a long time.

The dust settles!

The referee hesitated for half a second, then loudly announced:

"The entire Douling Royal Academy team is incapacitated!"

Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy wins!!

In an instant, the entire Xingluo Square erupted in cheers!

A deafening roar of cheers swept in all directions, with wave after wave of sound rising higher and higher.

The entire audience erupted in cheers. This deafening jubilation was no longer for the veteran powerhouse Shrek Academy, but for the young man who stood in mid-air and sealed the victory with a single sword strike—Huo Yuhao!

The entire battle was swift and decisive, with seamless control, output, and finishing off enemies. The mental suppression was unstoppable, and the wind's killing power was unparalleled. With an absolute crushing force, the tactics of the Fighting Spirit Academy were easily shattered!

On the stands, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with satisfaction and amazement.

Chapter 101 Public Opinion Storm

The members of the Douling Royal Academy struggled to their feet, each with a grim expression of defeat on their face, their eyes filled with bewilderment and disbelief.

Even now, they still can't understand why the Thunder Soul Guidance Cannon, which was fully charged by everyone, and the team leader's Guzhu Sword's field-locking and restraining tactics, which were enough to crush most strong teams, were powerless against Huo Yuhao, and didn't even have a chance to be fully released.

Huo Yuhao sighed softly as he looked at the stunned expressions on everyone's faces.

Ultimately, this victory did indeed involve some element of opportunism.

His own soul power level was only level 28, which would only be considered the bottom level in the entire continent competition, but his martial soul was a bug-level that transcended the conventional system of Douluo.

Unbeatable at the same level, overwhelming across levels, and the mental imprisonment that instantly controls the entire screen perfectly counters the fighting style of the Fighting Spirit team.

Huo Yuhao knew perfectly well that this was just the end of the team battle; there would be individual elimination matches to follow.

But Huo Yuhao didn't take Douling Academy seriously at all.

Team battles rely on teamwork, tactics, and experience; even with all of Dou Ling's elite forces deployed, they were still crushed. In one-on-one duels, they had no chance of winning.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but mentally mutter a classic old saying: "Lighting a lamp in a latrine—that's courting death."

Facing Shrek Academy, which is currently at its peak and has a complete system, the subsequent matches between Douling Academy and Shrek Academy were destined to be a dead end from the very beginning.

On the other side of the arena, the atmosphere in the Sun and Moon Empire's seating area was extremely tense.
