The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 32 Archer Huo Zhanji

"Shrek Academy vs. Zheng Tian Academy, Round 6, please send out your players!" The referee's voice echoed across the Soul Arena.

Looking at the competition stage, Wang Yan frowned. His opponent was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. The captain of Zhengtian Academy did not even appear. You must know that if Zhengtian Academy loses the sixth match, they will lose today's competition.

In this situation, Ye Wuqing, as the team leader, was still able to endure it, and this level of patience completely exceeded their expectations.

Huo Zhanji stepped onto the stage and called out loudly to the Zheng Tian Academy team member who had already come up to the stage opposite him, "Shrek Academy, Huo Zhanji!"

The Zheng Tian team members opposite them all looked visibly different when they saw Huo Zhanji. Huo Zhanji had single-handedly disrupted Qianling Academy's plans that day, leaving a deep impression on them…

"Tang Xiaolei of Zhengtian Academy"

Tang Xiaolei was tall and upright, but not particularly muscular. However, his eyes were exceptionally bright, with a faint purple light shimmering deep within them.

The referee gestured for both players to step back to the edge of the playing area, raised his right hand, and shouted, "The match begins!"

Huo Zhanji and Tang Xiaolei immediately released their martial souls. Huo Zhanji's Frost Dragon martial soul's first soul ring appeared on the highly anticipated competition stage, instantly radiating an unparalleled cold aura.

"ah--"

Although the audience had some expectations, they were still shocked when they saw Huo Zhanji's 100,000-year soul ring again.

Unlike Huo Zhanji's icy aura, Tang Xiaolei's bright eyes instantly turned bright purple. He raised his left hand, and a large bow appeared in his grasp. He was the Soul King of this competition, with two yellow and three purple soul rings shining brightly.

Ye Wuqing clearly had enough confidence in him.

A purple light flashed in Tang Xiao's tearful eyes. He raised the longbow in his left hand and placed his right hand on the bowstring. His energy and spirit surged at an astonishing speed.

The longbow in Tang Xiaolei's hand is called the Purple Flower Bow. He has always believed that his martial soul is unique. Apart from not being good at group battles, no one can compare to his ranged attack martial soul. However, this time he has encountered Huo Zhanji, who can materialize all weapons.

"Second Soul Ring Skill of the Double Pupil Martial Soul - Simulation of Double Pupil Power, Bow, come!"

A glint of light flashed in Huo Zhanji's eyes, and instantly an ice-blue longbow appeared in his hand. He then drew the bowstring, and a pale blue, crystal-clear arrow emerged.

On the other side, the Purple Flower Bow was drawn back with lightning speed. Tang Xiaolei's wrist seemed to move only slightly, and a yellow light was already released from the bowstring. Most strangely, after Tang Xiaolei shot this arrow, the original five spirit rings on his body actually became four.

Almost simultaneously, Huo Zhanji loosened his wrist as he drew the bow, and the Frost Arrow was launched, directly meeting Tang Xiaolei's attack.

At that moment, the yellow light, as fast as lightning, arrived in the blink of an eye, and Huo Zhanji's Frost Arrow collided with it. A piercing explosion rang out, and both arrows disappeared completely, showing that Huo Zhanji's attack was in no way weaker than that of the Soul King.

"Is the probability of two arrows colliding that high?" Tang Xiaolei looked at Huo Zhanji and couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly.

The judgment just now relied entirely on the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's mental detection and the Double Pupil's innate skill Slow, which allowed Huo Zhanji's attack to collide with the opponent's attack.

At this moment, Tang Xiaolei drew his Purple Flower Bow for the second time. This time, the arrow was still yellow, but it felt completely different from before. Before, it was a swift arrow, but this time it was a pressure full of madness. This time, the shriek of the arrow became even stronger.

Huo Zhanji naturally realized that the attack power of the second arrow would not be much weaker than the first arrow. He then drew his bow again and nocked an arrow, but this time he did not charge up the arrow and shot it directly.

The Arrow of Destruction clashed with Huo Zhanji's attack once more. This time, Huo Zhanji's attack instantly dissipated, and the Arrow of Destruction instantly dispersed the Frost Arrow and attacked Huo Zhanji.

Just then, another frost arrow came flying at him. That's right, after releasing the first arrow, Huo Zhanji immediately began to charge up the second frost arrow. The first one was only meant to wear down the opponent's attack, but the second one was meant to completely annihilate him.

"Boom—" The violent roar seemed to shake the entire competition stage.

The 108 Soul Masters responsible for the protective shield almost instinctively channeled their full Soul Power into the metal pillar of the Soul Guidance Device in front of them, turning the shield a deep yellow color.

Tang Xiaolei's heart trembled slightly, but this match was so important to Zhengtian Academy. In an instant, he opened and closed the Purple Flower Bow in his hand. Time no longer allowed him to hold back. The threat posed by Huo Zhanji was too strong.

"Once could be a coincidence, twice could be a coincidence, but a third time it can't be explained away as a coincidence."

Three streaks of purple light joined together, displaying a gradient of purple. The first arrow was the most vibrant, while the last arrow was the deepest. As the last arrow was released, Tang Xiaolei raised the Purple Flower Bow in his hand, which transformed into a ball of purple flame. Instantly, each of the three purple arrows also emitted a burst of purple flame.

Seeing that his opponent was about to make a desperate gamble, Huo Zhanji suddenly emitted a golden light from his entire body, then drew his Ice Flower Bow, shouting, "Elephant power for the body, dragon power for the spirit!"

At this moment, the arrow was entirely golden, with a phantom golden dragon coiling around it, as if it wanted to devour everything. The air in front of them had become completely distorted. When Tang Xiaolei's attack flew to halfway across the arena, it was also the moment when Huo Zhanji unleashed his power.

A golden dragon appeared on the arena. The moment it flew out, Tang Xiaolei was locked onto. No matter how he moved, Huo Zhanji's attacks would not miss.

The entire competition stage twisted eerily, and to the spectators outside, the scene on the stage seemed to blur instantly, with everything becoming indistinct.

Both Tang Xiaolei and the referee at the seventh-ring Soul Saint level felt as if space had shattered instantly, and almost vomited blood.

Tang Xiaolei's eyes changed instantly, becoming panicked. He saw the golden dragon devour the three arrows, and he felt like he couldn't breathe.

After firing five arrows, his soul power was completely drained, leaving him with no further power to resist. He had originally hoped that his three arrows would break through Huo Zhanji's attack and then defeat his opponent, but who could have imagined that Huo Zhanji's attack would completely devour his own?

At this moment, the referee, who had been shocked by the entire scene, finally played his due role. With seven spirit rings, the referee's speed increased dramatically, and the seventh spirit ring on his body shone brightly. With a deep roar, his huge body, as large as a mountain, flew out horizontally and blocked Tang Xiaolei's way.

"Boom!"

From a distance, the arena had become dazzling. The deep yellow of the protective shield around the arena had even turned gold, and the faces of the 108 Soul Masters all looked somewhat solemn.

The entire arena was extensively damaged by the outburst of these two terrifying forces, and the deafening sound could be heard even far away outside Xingluo Square.

Tang Xiao walked out from beside the referee, his face pale with tears. He couldn't imagine what would have happened if that blow had landed on him.

The referee turned and glanced at him, saying calmly, "I blocked the opponent's attack for you; you're now out of the match."

Tang Xiaolei shivered, realizing he was still in the competition, and quickly said respectfully, "Thank you for saving my life."

"Shrek Academy wins the sixth match of the round-robin tournament, bringing the score to 6-3. The playing platform is severely damaged and needs repair..."

The competition was also in full swing. After the competition platform was severely damaged, it was clear that the competition could not continue immediately. Soul Masters who were skilled in earth-type abilities quickly entered the competition venue and used the transported rocks to repair the competition platform. This process would take a while.

Huo Zhanji immediately seized the last bit of time to start recovering. According to Huo Zhanji's estimate, he could only maintain his self-soul fusion skill for a maximum of one minute, so he should recover as much cultivation as possible. Ye Wuqing of Zhengtian Academy was not so easy to deal with. It could be said that if Huo Zhanji lost, there was a 90% chance that he would be overturned by his opponent.

The competition stage has been gradually repaired, and the referee changed his clothes and returned to the competition stage.

On the inner city wall in the distance, His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire watched the competition venue. At this moment, even Xiao Hongchen, the proudest student in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, felt only shock in the depths of his eyes.

If a Soul King can defeat a Soul Venerable but not a Soul Master, who can they complain to?

On the stage, the referee waved to the team members from both academies in the waiting area.

On the Zheng Tian Academy side, Ye Wuqing slowly walked onto the competition stage, while Huo Zhanji stood up and stared directly at his final opponent, Ye Wuqing.

Ye Wuqing wasn't particularly tall, but he was very well-proportioned. He wore a well-fitting outfit and looked no different from an ordinary person. He wasn't particularly handsome either; his only distinguishing feature was his face, which never showed any expression.

The two arrived at the center of the competition stage, and it was Ye Wuqing, the captain of Zhengtian Academy, who spoke first.

"Shrek is Shrek Academy after all. My name is Ye Wuqing, captain of Zhengtian Academy."

Huo Zhanji calmly replied, "Huo Zhanji of Shrek Academy!"

Ye Wuqing nodded slightly: "Precisely because of my respect for you, I will go all out. I will definitely win this battle."

Ye Wuqing's cold gaze flickered slightly. He extended his right thumb, then slowly turned it downwards.

"The moment you say those words, you've already lost half the battle," Huo Zhanji replied calmly.

"Both sides step back." Just then, the referee's voice interrupted the two.

Ye Wuqing pointed at Huo Zhanji and slowly retreated.

Huo Zhanji thought to himself, "I'll definitely break your fingers later."

The two retreated and quickly reached the edge of the newly repaired competition platform. The competition had not yet started, but it was already filled with a strong sense of tension. For both sides, this was a match that could not be lost.
