The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 97 Both with Seven Rings

"Stop!" A sharp shout rang out, and a layer of silver light blocked Wang Qiu'er as the referee stood in front of Zhou Xinghao.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to bend the law for personal gain?" Wang Qiu'er said coldly.

The referee said in a deep voice, "He is no longer capable of resisting. As the referee, I hereby declare Shrek Academy the winner of this match."

Wang Qiu'er, holding the Golden Dragon Spear, turned and walked towards the center of the arena.

"I haven't lost yet, die!" Zhou Xinghao roared hysterically, his upper body suddenly leaning back, revealing eight bright silver cannon muzzles on his chest and abdomen. Immediately afterwards, eight bright silver rays shot towards Wang Qiu'er.

Wang Qiu'er had her back to him, which was intentional on his part. Before the match, after she and Huo Zhanji made eye contact, Huo Zhanji kept staring at Zhou Xinghao on the other side. He knew that once the weakling on the other side realized that his tactics had failed, even if the referee stopped Wang Qiu'er's attack and ruled him the loser, he would still attack Wang Qiu'er, who had her back to him, without considering the consequences.

"Damn it!" Several figures rushed onto the stage from Shrek's side, but none of them could outrun Huo Zhanji.

"Qiu'er, crouch down!" Huo Zhanji's icy voice suddenly rang in Wang Qiu'er's mind. At the same time, Huo Zhanji's figure had already disappeared into the arena, blocking Wang Qiu'er's way: "Reverse calculation! Disintegrate."

Huo Zhanji's left pupil flashed red, and a magic circle covered with runes was attached to his eye. The magic circle met Zhou Xinghao's attack and then disintegrated and absorbed it.

"Buzzing..."

Ding---

Smoke and dust rose. At this moment, Huo Zhanji took advantage of Zhou Xinghao's attack to absorb the last of the ice-attribute elemental energy in his body. In the smoke, Huo Zhanji's body emitted a purple and blue light. The Soul Spirit Xiao Qi and the Soul Spirit Ice Dragon King appeared beside Huo Zhanji and respectively put the seventh soul ring on Huo Zhanji's two martial souls, and then disappeared back into Huo Zhanji's body.

Huo Zhanji instantly appeared in front of Zhou Xinghao and struck him with a palm. Even Zhou Xinghao's tattered soul guide shield was blasted into pieces, turning into a storm of metal that scattered in all directions. All that everyone saw was this terrifying scene.

Exclamations of shock instantly echoed throughout the entire arena. The terrifying atmosphere created by the sudden explosion on the stage caused all the members of the Sun and Moon team who rushed forward to freeze. Even Xiao Hongchen paused for a moment. They watched in horror as Huo Zhanji grabbed Zhou Xinghao by the neck with one hand, as if he were a chick.

"This is my warning to you." Huo Zhanji whispered in Zhou Xinghao's ear, then flung him away, leaving a large crater in the ground.

"stop."

A loud shout rang out from the sky. An old man in a blue robe descended from the heavens, landing right next to the referee. With a wave of his hand, a blue light barrier rose up, reaching several hundred meters in length, completely separating the two sides preparing to enter the arena. The old man turned around and slapped the referee, sending him flying off the stage.

"Stop! Remain calm. I am Zheng Zhan, the chief referee of this competition. Anyone who dares to make a move will be immediately expelled from this competition."

Zheng Zhan said in a deep voice, "I saw everything that just happened. The accident was entirely caused by the referee. I will disqualify him from officiating. I will take over officiating the rest of the match. Zhou Xinghao attacked Shrek player Wang Qiu'er after the result of the match had been announced. It is only right that his cultivation was destroyed."

After a 15-minute break, it wasn't Wang Qiu'er who came on stage again. The members of the Sun and Moon team on the other side were stunned: "That Huo Zhanji is back again."

"Qiu'er, you can go now. I'll play next!" Huo Zhanji said, patting Wang Qiu'er on the shoulder.

Zheng Zhan walked to the center of the field, looked at Huo Zhanji, and said, "If you change your players, Wang Qiu'er will be considered to have conceded defeat."

"Hmm." Huo Zhan walked quickly to the center of the competition stage, glanced at Zheng Zhan, and nodded.

Zheng Zhan said in a deep voice, "Both sides, please state your names."

"Shrek Heaven-Mending Pavilion, Huo Zhanji."

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xiao Ping."

Zheng Zhan said in a deep voice, "Both sides step back and prepare for the match. During the match, obey my orders. If anyone dares to attack after I announce the result, I have the right to determine their guilt."

Huo Zhanji and Xiao Ping agreed and retreated towards the edge of their respective playing fields. This was the third match of the individual elimination rounds. The overall score was 2 to 1, with Shrek Academy in the lead. Moreover, thanks to their victories in the previous matches, they had already secured their qualification for the team competition.

Reaching the edge of the competition platform, Huo Zhanji turned around and stared intently into the distance. On the other side, Xiao Ping's eyes were sharp, like a leopard poised to pounce.

Zheng Zhan raised his right hand high, looked at both sides, and then suddenly swung it down, announcing the start of the match.

The moment Zheng Zhan waved his hand, Xiao Ping moved. The soul-guided thrusters on his back suddenly lit up, and he charged towards Huo Zhan. As he charged forward, a long spear appeared in Xiao Ping's hand. This spear had sharp points at both ends, and it began to glow brightly as he charged. Three soul rings on his body lit up alternately, greatly increasing his soul power.

Huo Zhanji smiled coldly and raised his right hand. The first spirit ring that appeared beneath him was a brilliant gold color, followed by four bright red spirit rings. When the last two purple-gold spirit rings appeared, the air in the arena almost froze.

At this moment, not only Xiao Ping on the stage, but also referee Zheng Zhan, the participating teams and the audience watching the game, all looked at Huo Zhanji in horror.

"Seven-Ring Soul Saint!"

"Another 100,000-year soul ring..."

"Is he even human?"

"Huo Zhanji, who once dominated the Soul Master Competition, is back."

Jing Hongchen watched Huo Zhanji in the arena with increasing satisfaction. He knew that his chances of winning this competition were slim, especially with the Holy Spirit Cult interfering. The outcome of the competition was not that important. At this moment, everyone's opinion on Huo Zhanji was that if he couldn't win, he should surrender. Losing was better than losing his life, right?
