Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 313: The Sparring Ends

Xiao Xiao's face was flushed, and traces of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth. Her originally flushed face turned deathly pale in an instant due to the excessive consumption and backlash she suffered.

Xinling's expression changed. She hadn't expected the battle to turn so quickly. Xiao Xiao was their precious prodigy, whom they were focusing on developing.

This sparring match could be lost, but Xiao Xiao absolutely could not suffer any lasting consequences that would affect her future potential. So, he flashed behind Xiao Xiao and helped her up.

After briefly checking Xiao Xiao's injuries with her soul power and learning that she was alright, Xian Lin'er breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Xu Sanshi, whose injuries were more serious.

After giving Xiao Xiao a brief explanation and instructing her to sit cross-legged and heal herself, he began to use his soul power to examine Xu Sanshi's injuries and determine if there were any lingering effects that could affect his potential.

Only after the examination was completed and it was found that Xu Sanshi's injuries were not too exaggerated or serious did they finally feel completely relieved.

He Caitou was panting heavily. He never expected that the cute-looking girl would be so violent. The force with which she threw the gun was even more terrifying than that of an ordinary power-type soul master!

Could it be because her cultivation level was too high? But Xu Sanshi always felt that she hadn't even used her full strength yet, and had already rendered the three of them powerless to resist.

As the one of the three who suffered the least damage, he had a clearer understanding of the battlefield because he had only fired a level 6 high-explosive red-guided cannon shell, which resulted in excessive consumption of his soul power.

Then, while the Golden Dragon Spear knocked away the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, it swept him off the battlefield, barely suffering any backlash from the damage to his martial soul.

So he waved to Xian Lin'er to indicate that he was fine. After all, he was about to break through to the Soul King level. If he got injured again because of the consumption of soul power, what would be the difference between him and a piece of trash?

After seeing his performance, Xian Lin'er did not force him to check his injuries. He Caitou's martial soul talent was not strong. All she needed to do was find a way to maximize his soul tool talent.

Seeing that the three defeated soldiers were not seriously injured, Xian Lin'er withdrew her attention and turned her gaze back to the battlefield, ready to interrupt the sparring at any time.

Judging from the speed at which the three were defeated, the two sides were not even in the same league in this sparring match. She had to stay on high alert the whole time to ensure that the students would not get injured.

Under her keen observation, the battle on the battlefield changed almost instantly. Di Ruiqiu, who was carrying a gun, cleared the three people out of the battlefield and then turned around to chase after Bei Bei, Wang Dong, Jiang Nannan, Tang Ya and the other three who were flying towards Meng Hongchen.

Bei Bei and Tang Ya launched an attack on Meng Hongchen from the left and right, while Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong, as agility-type and power-type soul masters respectively, provided support for the two.

The four of them formed a pincer movement against Meng Hongchen, but unexpectedly, Meng Hongchen, who looked calm, raised her arrogant chin and suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

At this moment, Chen's heart was filled with an unwavering belief in victory. Her delicate body soared into the air, swirling violently and transforming into a vortex.

At the center of the icy blue vortex, a faint red light flickered, yet it gave off an intense, almost fiery feeling. It was as if a blazing flame was burning within a vortex of ice.

This is the strongest attack that Meng Hongchen can currently unleash: Ice and Fire Poison Dragon Drill.

This is a perfect combination of a ten-thousand-year-old soul skill and a level seven soul tool. Its power is comparable to that of a soul skill that surpasses the level of a Soul Saint. It is remarkable that such a powerful soul skill was unleashed at this moment.

Meng Hongchen clearly didn't intend to waste any more time with the four of them, and instead unleashed her strongest attack to date.

Di Ruiqiu flicked her ponytail and charged towards the four again, clearly intending to form a counter-encirclement with Meng Hongchen and annihilate them all at once.

Xian Lin'er's expression changed, and she quickly disappeared from her spot, using a gentler soul power to separate the six people.

"I think we should end this sparring for now. Your school's ability to cultivate talent has indeed been rising steadily in recent years. These two students cultivated by your school are also future prodigies who will stand tall throughout the entire continent."

"I originally wanted to show them your school's soul-guiding technology, but I didn't expect your prodigies to be so powerful. They still need to practice more. Let's stop this sparring session here. Dean Hongchen, what do you think?"

Seeing that she had even used your school and hadn't done anything shady during the process, Jing Hongchen knew the cooperation had to continue, so she had no objections.

The four, who had just been so aggressive, immediately realized upon seeing this scene that Dean Xianlin'er was protecting them.

They were willing to risk Shrek Academy's reputation to save these few people. Since the dean chose to take action, it was enough to prove that they had no chance of winning in the sparring just now, and there was even a risk of other injuries, ranging from serious injury to death!

Otherwise, how could he possibly let go of Shrek Academy's eternal glory, choose to forcibly end this sparring match, and speak to Jing Hongchen with such politeness that it was almost humble?

The three who were defeated first, including He Caitou, turned pale and lowered their heads in shame. If the three of them had persisted a little longer, the dean might not have had to intervene in the matter.

Their terrible performance was a disgrace to Shrek Academy...

Especially He Caitou, who originally came to see more advanced soul tools, but now things have turned out this way.

The prestigious No. 1 academy on the mainland first had all its female students lured away by Huo Yuhao, and then his female companion shamelessly claimed that they would fight seven against two.

Most importantly, what they said was right; they not only succeeded, but they did it very easily!

If Xian Lin'er hadn't intervened, the three of them would probably be in a much worse situation than they are now, looking so calm and collected.

He Caitou's already dark face seemed even more profound now, due to his bad mood.

Beibei was forcibly prevented from using the Dragon Emperor's Evil-Slaying Technique, and her usually refined face showed some anger and resentment.

As the signature move of Dragon God Douluo, it should not and cannot be stopped in such a humiliating way.

Could it be that the Dragon God Douluo's signature soul skill is even inferior to that of a little girl from the Sun Moon Empire? How is he going to explain this to Elder Mu?

He carries the hopes of many at Shrek Academy, and is even seen by Moon as Shrek's future successor.

Although he had no romantic feelings for Zhang Lexuan, she was essentially someone Mu Lao had brought in to work for him, so how could he convince the public with his performance?

Zhang Lexuan was already a highly respected senior sister in the inner courtyard. If she herself was not worthy of her position, how could she take charge of the academy after Elder Mu left?

Thinking of this, Beibei's eyes were filled with resentment and anger. He had been diligently cultivating under the golden tree every day since the competition ended.

But why is it that they, four against one, didn't even have the chance to make a move!

Wasn't the other side famous for their soul tools? But from beginning to end, they only used one soul tool, which was the battle armor on Meng Hongchen's body.

As for the other famous soul-guided cannons, they weren't even used. Doesn't that mean that the Sun Moon Empire has caught up with or even surpassed Shrek Academy in the field of martial soul research?

After all, judging from the ages of Meng Hongchen and Di Ruiqiu, they were both around the same age as him, or even a few years younger.

But in terms of soul power level, they have already surpassed me by so much, and are even comparable to Sister Tao!

The dream of Hongchen could be attributed to his strange armor, but the girl in the yellow dress with superhuman strength didn't seem to rely on external forces at all.

The spear in her hand didn't look like a soul tool. Although it was very powerful, it definitely couldn't have the effect of increasing soul power level!

This is enough to prove that her strength, at least at the Soul Emperor level, is genuine and without any exaggeration.

Beibei's chest heaved with shock. Where did these monsters come from?

Needless to say, Huo Yuhao was much younger than them, yet he managed to turn the tide and overpower Sister Tao in the competition.

He is now said to possess strength comparable to a Contra Master, but he could never have imagined:

The two female companions beside Huo Yuhao were not only among the most outstanding in appearance he had seen in recent years, but their talents were also strangely strong!

Bei Bei's gaze fixed on Huo Yuhao, her eyes gradually becoming complicated. Could it be... because of Huo Yuhao?

Yup!

Bei Bei was suddenly startled. If all of this was attributed to Huo Yuhao, then everything would make sense!

This guy was a monster to begin with, and he helped his female companion become a little monster. What's so strange about that?

However, Bei Bei had enough trust in Huo Yuhao's character and their relationship.

From the very beginning when they met in the Star Dou Great Forest, there was no irreconcilable conflict between them.

It's probably because his talent is too outstanding now, and the gap between the two of them is widening as their strength increases, which has created some estrangement.

But he believed that Huo Yuhao was kind and easy to get along with, and that they had a certain level of friendship, so it wouldn't come to the point of turning against each other...

Thinking of this, Bei Bei felt less tightness in her chest. She looked at Huo Yuhao and forced a friendly smile, but the latter's attention was focused on Meng Hongchen and Di Ruiqiu, and he didn't notice her.

Beibei wasn't in a hurry, since the exchange program had plenty of time, and they had plenty of time to get to know each other.

As the dean just mentioned, he will bring Huo Yuhao and the others to cultivate together under the Golden Tree. They will definitely spend more time together than expected, which may give them an opportunity to find out why his cultivation speed is so fast.

It also provides an opportunity to observe his female companion and see what magical thing she possesses that can instantly elevate a Soul King to the level of a Soul Saint.

I've heard that the cooperation between the academy and the Sun Moon Empire is quite seamless. Maybe he can get a battle armor like Meng Hongchen's and wear it, so he won't be in such a sorry state...

As Bei Bei thought this to herself, a deeper kindness appeared in her eyes when she looked at Huo Yuhao.

However, Xu Sanshi's reaction was even stronger than Bei Bei's. As the Xuanwu Martial Soul, famous for its defensive power, he was actually sent flying by a single spear thrust.

Moreover, even after he had reached the Soul King level and used all his strength, he was still no match for his opponent!

Where did that little girl come from, this monster?

Despite having a pretty and charming face, her incredible strength is simply inhuman!

How could he, as the heir of the prestigious Xuanwu Sect, be beaten so badly by a little girl?

After breaking through to the Soul King level, he believed he could withstand a full-force attack from a Soul Saint, thanks to the strength of his Xuanwu Martial Soul.

But did that girl seem to be using her full strength? Not at all!

Xu Sanshi had an extremely strong intuition that the girl's move that repelled him used no more than 50% of her strength.

After all, her spirit rings weren't even moving; she was relying solely on her physical strength.

Xu Sanshi felt increasingly uneasy and suddenly fixed his gaze on Di Ruiqiu's long spear, which was gleaming with golden light.

Is it because of that thing? Could it be some kind of soul tool that amplifies power?

Has the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools really become this advanced? They can actually boost a little girl's power to such a terrifying level!

Xu Sanshi was filled with astonishment. It seemed he had to find time to talk to his father about the necessity of the soul tool.

Although Shrek Academy prides itself on being the best in the world at martial soul research, today's battle made Xu Sanshi truly understand what it means to be outmatched.

As for Huo Yuhao, that guy is a monster, and it can no longer be explained by the fact that the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools are too advanced.

That guy's performance was even more terrifying than some of the old monsters in the sects!

Perhaps the spear in the girl's hand and the armor of Meng Hongchen were both tampered with by Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao could simply use "monster" and "unconventional" to gloss over the past, but the people around him couldn't.

The terrifying development of soul tools made Xu Sanshi, the heir to a sect, feel a significant amount of pressure for the first time.

I was already planning in my heart that when I had time to go home this time, I would find a way to tell my father.

It seems we should also try to contact those black market dealers from the Sun Moon Empire.

If they had all been equipped with the same soul tools in today's sparring match, they might not have lost so miserably.

At least it shouldn't have been so disgraceful that the dean intervened before the fight even started!

These three grown men completely ignored the others during the battle.

Most importantly, just when they thought they had made significant progress, they were given a crushing blow.

Xu Sanshi looked at Huo Yuhao with complicated emotions, his heart filled with endless bitterness.

Where on earth did this monster come from?

Faced with the harsh reality, Xu Sanshi no longer had the urge to be stubborn and couldn't think of any words to refute it.
