The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 88 Dream of the Mortal World

"Referees, enter the arena. The first-place finishers from each individual elimination round will now enter the arena," came the voice of the elderly man presiding over the proceedings from the podium.

On the Dragon Slaying Sect's side, a young man of short stature appeared. At this time, the crowd watching from afar remained quiet, as the tight schedule meant they had not yet fully recovered from the pressure of the Dragon Emperor Douluo.

"In this individual elimination tournament, the match ends when one side is rendered unable to fight or concedes defeat. The referee will then determine the winner. Do not injure your opponent as much as possible. Understand?" the referee said in a deep voice to both sides.

"Understood." The young man representing the Dragon Slaying Sect looked capable and answered. He then turned and walked in his own direction without even the most basic greeting. This disregard greatly displeased Meng Hongchen. A murderous aura flashed in her eyes, and with a cold snort, she also turned and walked towards the other edge of the arena.

Soon, both sides stood at one end, and the referee raised his right hand.

"Bang!"

As soon as the referee's right hand fell, the young man from the Dragon Slayer Sect shot towards Meng Hongchen like a cannonball, with five perfectly matched soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—emerging from his body.

Meng Hongchen didn't rush forward. After talking with Huo Zhanji for a while, she gradually understood Huo Zhanji's fighting style. At this moment, she strolled forward leisurely, a circle of ice-blue light slowly spreading outward from beneath her feet. Two yellow, two purple, and two black spirit rings slowly rose.

At this moment, the young man from the Dragon Slaying Sect had already arrived in front of Meng Hongchen, and his fifth soul ring immediately shone, ready to unleash his soul skill in the next second.

Meng Hongchen smiled slightly and gently blew in his direction. His first and third spirit rings lit up almost simultaneously, and a smooth, mirror-like ice surface stretched out beneath his feet. A layer of blue light spread across the face of the Dragon Slaying Sect youth. Before his fifth spirit ring could fully light up, he groaned and collapsed to the ground, trembling all over.

The other members of the Dragon Slayer Sect in the waiting area all stood up abruptly, staring at the scene in disbelief. They had absolutely no idea what had happened.

The light from her spirit ring faded, and Meng Hongchen raised her chin arrogantly, saying towards the referee, "I won, next one." With that, she flipped her wrist, pulling out a milk bottle to begin restoring her spirit power. In this elimination tournament, there was no rule against using spirit tools to assist in recovery.

In the Shrek Academy rest area, Wang Dong'er whispered to Huo Zhanji, "Meng Hongchen's abilities seem to have improved quite a bit!"

Huo Zhanji said, "You still underestimate her."

In the following matches, no one from the Dragon Slayer Sect could counter Meng Hongchen. Four people fell to her ultimate ice, and her own soul power was almost completely depleted. After all, this was a battle between two teams, and even though her cultivation level had exceeded 65, her soul power was still limited. To ensure she wouldn't get injured, Meng Hongchen conceded defeat the moment the Dragon Slayer Sect captain entered the arena, withdrawing from her first individual elimination match. In the end, she couldn't achieve the feat of fighting seven opponents alone.

Nevertheless, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team has already demonstrated their formidable strength. Their second member was a Soul King-level Level 5 Soul Master who fought a fierce battle against the Dragon Slaying Sect captain and ultimately won by a narrow margin.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also became the first team to advance in the first round of this competition. They did not need to go through the team competition and successfully advanced in the individual elimination round with a score of six points.

Xu Sanshi glanced at Huo Zhanji, whose expression remained calm, and asked in a low voice, "Zhanji, if we were facing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, who do you think would be the most suitable to deal with Meng Hongchen?"

Huo Zhanji smiled calmly and said, "Apart from me, if any of you went up against her, you would basically be frozen by her ultimate ice."

"Ultimate Ice?" Everyone looked at Huo Zhanji in confusion. Meng Hongchen in the previous competition was clearly not an ultimate attribute.

"Of course it's my fault. Jing Hongchen asked me to get rid of the toxins in her granddaughter's body. By a twist of fate, Meng Hongchen absorbed my bloodline power, and her martial soul has evolved to a certain extent," Huo Zhanji said.

"Aren't you indirectly increasing the opponent's strength?" Beibei said.

"There's nothing I can do, after all, Jing Hongchen gave me her granddaughter," Huo Zhanji said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a chill suddenly swept past Huo Zhanji, and everyone quickly moved away from him, because Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and Wang Dong'er were all watching him intently from behind.

"Sent it, said 'I'm all excited.'" Huo Zhanji rubbed his forehead with his right hand.

If the three women hadn't seen that Huo Zhanji was disabled, they would have given him a good beating. The competition continued, and the following matches were incredibly exciting. Because it was an elimination tournament, every participating team gave it their all, and there were even some brutal scenes. One after another, the participating teams advanced.

The morning matches continued until noon. Nine teams advanced, and nine teams were eliminated, ending their journey in this tournament. The afternoon matches were similar to the morning ones, continuing until evening. Including the nine morning matches, a total of twenty-six matches were played.
