The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 99 Advancing to the Quarterfinals

The first round of the round-robin tournament concluded smoothly, but no one could forget the name Huo Zhanji. In a very short time, he had become the talk of the town. The round-robin tournament had only just begun, and every match from now on would be crucial, especially for those teams that had already lost a match.

The second day of the first round of the round-robin tournament has ended. As darkness falls, people have returned to Mingdu City. After the qualifying rounds and the first round of the main tournament, the three major regions of the Mingdu Soul Instructor Elite Tournament have produced their lists of participants advancing to the second round.

Tonight, the second round of the Mingdu Soul Mentor Elite Competition will begin. One of the most attractive betting methods for the public is to bet on how long it will take the first person to finish the competition.

The details of the second round of the competition have become more detailed. The competition will last for five hours, starting tonight and ending at dawn tomorrow. Within these five hours, all participating Soul Masters from the three major factions will create an offensive Soul Tool that they are satisfied with, at level four or higher. If a level five Soul Tool is created, the participant will advance directly without needing to undergo a power test. Soul Masters who create level four Soul Tools will have an additional Soul Tool competition compared to the previous round.

A fledgling hotel.

Huo Zhanji and Ling Luochen arrived quietly. To avoid being exposed, Huo Zhanji came in a wheelchair. Chen An was noticeably more discreet, sending a capable subordinate to greet Ling Luochen outside and lead the two to the VIP area. Soon, a document was delivered to Huo Zhanji.

After entering the official competition stage, the numbering system was changed, starting from the previous round. This round's numbering also began to have practical significance; Huo Zhanji's number was sixty-two.

At this moment, the door to the VIP room opened, and six people walked in. The two in front were dressed as Soul Masters, each with a Soul Master badge on their chest. The other four were clearly their guards. Upon entering the VIP room, the two Soul Masters in front had cold and hard expressions, with a hint of pride in their eyes. They only glanced at Huo Zhanji and Ling Luochen before walking to the side and sitting down.

Huo Zhanji ignored the two idiots and closed his eyes to rest. He entered the Golden Hall and moved his wheelchair himself. Under Chen An's special arrangement, Ling Luochen was guided by staff to the center of the competition stage from the side.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am delighted that the second round of our competition is about to begin. Now, I will announce the rules for this round..."

When Chen An announced the rules, Ling Luochen browsed through the materials prepared by Xi Shui Meng on the competition stage. Compared with the previous round, the materials for this round were much more abundant.

"Alright, all Soul Masters, please prepare. The competition shall now begin. Timer started. Timekeepers, take your positions."

Huo Zhanji slowly took a piece of light blue metal and put it into the shaping soul tool. He first shaped the outer shell. What he was going to make now was the palm cannon. After shaping the palm cannon's outer shell, he began to inscribe the energy storage array, the explosion array, and the stabilizing array.

He wanted to advance quickly if he could. He knew exactly how strong those idiots were, and there were practically no ones who could easily defeat them. So why was he hiding anything?

Before long, Huo Zhanji made the final adjustments to the palm cannon, and thirty minutes later, he handed in a soul tool. Time seemed to pause for a moment. As long as his soul tool advanced in the power test, this earliest delivery time would be set.

Huo Zhanji, who submitted his work first, has already left. The power of their soul tools has been tested and is far superior to the average level four soul tools. After this round of competition, forty-eight people will remain to participate, including Huo Zhanji, as well as numbers ninety-six and ninety-eight.

Early in the morning, the weather in Mingdu was somewhat gloomy, with low-hanging clouds and a heavy atmosphere in the air. Fine drizzle began to fall early in the morning, bringing a chilly feeling.

After leaving the Mingyue Hotel, everyone headed towards the competition venue. Today, the second round of the round-robin tournament would begin. Shrek Academy would be facing off against a sect called Mingyu Sect. Shrek vs. Mingyu Sect was sure to be another highly anticipated match.

Due to Huo Zhanji's strong performance in the previous round, the spectator area not far from the competition stage was already packed with spectators early this morning, with various discussions arising one after another.

However, Huo Zhanji did not participate in this match. Instead, he let others try their skills. He had already made a big splash, so there was no need for him to make a big splash. Moreover, the opponent must have studied Huo Zhanji beforehand. Huo Zhanji's absence from the match undoubtedly disrupted their plans.

Under Huo Zhanji's arrangement, everyone from Shrek Academy fought a match. Wang Dong'er's Goddess of Light Butterfly, Wang Qiu'er's Golden Dragon, Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement, Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Jiang Nannan's Soft Bone Rabbit, and He Caitou's powerful seventh-level Soul Master strength impressed everyone.

After this battle, Shrek's strength was fully demonstrated. They won both battles without a single member of their team getting injured. This achievement immediately made them the biggest favorite in their group. Instead of watching the next match, the Shrek team went straight back to their hotel to rest.

As the competition continues, Shrek Academy has certainly attracted attention from all sides. Undoubtedly, they will also become the target of their opponents' research. Huo Zhanji is not worried about Shrek Academy's upcoming matches.

The Shrek Academy students hadn't actually used their full abilities; everyone was holding back. Under these circumstances, even if they encountered the Holy Spirit Sect, so what? With Huo Zhanji backing them up, they could simply kill them.
