The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 37 Pre-match Preparation

"In the first semi-final match, a team battle, Shrek Academy defeats Star Luo National Academy." The lifeless, cold voice of the Heavenly Fiend Douluo rang out.

On Shrek Academy's side, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Bei Bei suffered injuries of varying degrees, while the others only had their soul power depleted. Huo Zhanji, however, completely exhausted his soul power and fainted.

Compared to the price Shrek Academy paid, the situation at Star Luo National Academy is not much better. Having lost the first match, they still need to defeat Shrek Academy in the individual elimination rounds if they want to turn the tide.

"Teacher Wang, how exactly did Huo Zhanji do it?" As soon as he stepped off the competition stage, Dai Yueheng asked Wang Yan impatiently.

Wang Yan glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "I didn't even see what was happening on the field, how would I know?"

Ling Luochen pondered, "Perhaps Huo Zhanji is also someone who counters the Star Guardian?"

The match ended in the morning, but outside the Star Emperor Hotel, the city lights were already on and night was gradually falling.

early morning

As the first rays of sunlight shone through the window onto Huo Zhanji's face, the golden glow gradually woke the sleeping boy. He felt warm all over, an indescribable comfort, and his soul power flowed naturally within him.

"I slept so well..." Huo Zhanji turned his head somewhat reluctantly and immediately saw Wang Dong lying on his bed, looking very unsteady on his sleep.

After getting dressed, Huo Zhanji poked Wang Dong's head and flicked it on the forehead: "Lazybones, get up."

"Ouch!" Wang Dong cried out in pain, immediately springing up as if by reflex. "You're the pig!"

Huo Zhanji turned and ran, hurriedly saying, "Stop fooling around, let's go get breakfast, there should still be an individual elimination round."

"There's no such thing as an individual elimination tournament. Xingluo National Academy conceded defeat after yesterday's team battle. All their key players are injured; how can they compete with us? They don't need to go today, and tomorrow is a rest day. The finals are the day after tomorrow!"

.........

Inside the Star Emperor Hotel.

"Do you think we can win the match against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy?" Bei Bei asked, sounding a little uncertain.

For a moment, no one answered Beibei's question; no one knew how to respond.

When everyone had arrived, Wang said, "Is everyone here? If so, let's discuss our tactics."

Xu Sanshi asked curiously, "Teacher Wang, what exactly happened in yesterday's competition? I only heard it was an overwhelming victory. How did the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy manage to do that?"

Wang Yan gave a wry smile and said, "Do you know why I didn't let you watch their match?"

Xu Sanshi's eyes flickered slightly. "Are you afraid of undermining our confidence?"

Wang Yan said in surprise, "You are indeed clever, but that's only one reason. Another reason is that it's pointless to look at it anyway."

At this point, his voice became noticeably more serious. "In this tournament, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is clearly extremely well-prepared. I'll tell you something and you'll understand. Because they are our biggest competitors, I've been paying close attention to them from the very beginning of the tournament, watching almost every single one of their matches. But do you know what I discovered? From the very first match until now, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has never used the same tactics twice, especially in team battles; their tactics are different in every single match. Tell me, what's the point of watching their matches? It will definitely severely damage your confidence."

At this moment, Wang Dong stood up and said, "Even if we beat the strongest teams before, even if they have the same perfect record as us, I firmly believe that we will win this time. What's more, we have Huo Zhanji."

"Yes, Huo Zhanji has always enabled us to turn defeat into victory. I believe that Junior Brother will lead us to victory!" At this moment, Bei Bei also stood up, looking intently at Huo Zhanji.

Wang Yan remained silent, while Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, and Ma Xiaotao watched quietly.

Huo Zhanji said, "Although I think we can definitely win, I don't want you to be blindly confident. Once you're overconfident, that's arrogance. Also, I want to remind everyone that no matter who our opponent is, I hope we can face them squarely. You know, even a lion needs to go all out to hunt a rabbit, and a rabbit will bite when cornered."

"You're right, Huo Zhanji, you are indeed very suitable to be a team leader. Of course, I'd also like to know how you broke through that Star Guardian," Ma Xiaotao said.

"Huo Zhanji, tell us what you think," Ling Luochen said, also becoming interested.

Throughout the entire story, this junior student has consistently played a crucial role. There are too many mysteries surrounding Huo Zhanji, making people eager to uncover the truth.

"The cultivation technique I practice is called 'Starry Sea Transformation,' which utilizes the power of the sun, moon, and stars. The star guardians opposite us are essentially stellar power, and I can also use the stars to restrain them," Huo Zhanji said.

Although Wang Yan advised against watching the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy's matches, Huo Zhanji still allowed everyone to attend the battle.

It must be said that their battles truly highlighted the correct way to use soul tools. The use of soul tools is not about using the most powerful ones, but about using the right soul tool in the right place. Ma Rulong's battles, in particular, may not seem particularly outstanding, but their fighting style can only be described as smooth and fluid.

The defeat of Di'ao Academy also foreshadowed the battle between the champion and the runner-up. The repeated failures of Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy only made them more determined. To be fair, Huo Zhanji admired their perseverance. It was already quite good that they could achieve this level.

Star Luo Palace

"I didn't expect you to lose. Are you convinced of your defeat?" Emperor Xingluo smiled slightly, and when he mentioned that battle, the image of Huo Zhanji appeared in his mind.

Xu Jiujiu then said coquettishly, "I'm not convinced. How could he possibly win? Besides, the Soul Emperor on the other side is already trapped."

"Losing is losing. What's there to be upset about? Even if you trapped the Soul Emperor on the other side, don't forget that they still have another Soul Emperor on their side. What's more, there's also Huo Zhanji, who can reach the level of a Soul Emperor. Shrek Academy is Shrek Academy. Besides, this time they didn't even send their strongest lineup."
