Douluo Continent, I, Huo Yuhao, defy fate with my spiritual eyes.

After hearing this, Zhang Lexuan chuckled and playfully patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder.

"What are you saying? We Shrek would never do such a thing!"

"Then why did they actually gather together on their own initiative? I didn't plan to win in one fell swoop; I was planning to eliminate a few first and then deal with them slowly."

Huo Yuhao scratched his head, looking suspicious.

Huo Yuhao wasn't the only one who felt incredulous and shocked; other teams from various Soul Master academies also felt the same way.

Although the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team was only at a mid-level among all the teams, the fact that Huo Yuhao, an unknown young man, could win in one move was enough to make everyone wary.

Inside a room at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, an elderly man with a face as red as a date stood solemnly, while the students sitting below him shrank back and remained silent.

The silence lasted for a long time before the old man's deep voice finally rang out.

"At first, we thought Shrek not fielding a regular team was a sign of disrespect, but now it seems we were wrong!"

The old man sighed.

"This twelve-year-old boy already has the strength to take on an entire team single-handedly. Although there's an element of luck involved, we still have to admire how powerful Shrek Academy is!"

A boy sitting at the head of the reserve team was filled with excitement and longing, his chin resting on his hands, which were even more beautiful than a woman's.

"Haven't we collected any information on him yet?"

The old man frowned slightly and slowly shook his head.

"No, I don't know why. Our spies lost contact after getting access to Huo Yuhao's information."

The boy became even more excited, his face flushed.

"Tsk tsk, looks like this is one of Shrek Academy's key talents, worthy of a clash with me!"

The first person in the formal procession was a burly man with short hair, who said with dissatisfaction.

"Xiao Hongchen, you can find an opponent later. What we need to consider is how to defeat Shrek Academy and win this year's Soul Master Competition!"

The boy was named Xiao Hongchen, and he scoffed disdainfully.

"My only opponent is myself; he'll just be a stepping stone for me! But you, Brother Ma, are under a lot of pressure. You'd better keep it up!"

Ma Rulong's face was somewhat gloomy, and he didn't say a word. Xiao Hongchen was absolutely right.

This year's Shrek Academy class is arguably the weakest ever. If they lose to this class, it means that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will never be as good as Shrek Academy.

"Alright, shut up, all of you!"

The old man in maroon stopped the two, his face serious.

"This is our best chance yet! I hope you can cheer up and fight well. If we win, you will be the greatest contributors to the Sun Moon Empire!"

Then the old man in maroon began to deploy tactics.

Besides the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, there was another place that also stayed up all night.

This is a luxurious room filled with a large amount of meat, all of which, upon closer inspection, are delicacies made by thousand-year-old soul beasts.

A bald, burly man, his head gleaming like a light bulb, his arms noticeably larger than normal, and his lower body appearing slender.

He tore at a huge beast leg, his mouth full of grease, and mumbled something to his companion.

"That kid from Shrek Academy, chew chew chew, is he using his original martial soul? Chew chew chew."

The other one had a pointed head, thick legs, and a thin upper body; he was also eating a large piece of fatty meat.

"It seems so. Chew, chew, chew. I'll talk to the sect leader about it later. Chew, chew, chew. Let him come and see for himself. Chew, chew, chew."

The two devoured a whole table of thousand-year-old soul beast meat in a whirlwind, yet their stomachs remained completely unchanged.

However, their blood and qi surged throughout their bodies, their veins bulged, and their muscles began to move naturally.

"Wow! I feel the power! Let's go practice!"

The bald man roared with satisfaction, unable to resist pounding his chest like an ape.

The man with the pointed head frowned, shook his head, and then nodded.

"Training takes too much time, so it's better not to train and save the time for training."

The bald man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked as if he had discovered the truth.

"As expected of you! No wonder you cultivate faster than me!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

The two walked into the courtyard, where huge stones the size of millstones were lifted and thrown into the air. The bald man's face was flushed, his blood was surging, and his two thick arms held them straight, without moving an inch.

As for informing the sect leader that the poison won't kill him?

We'll wait until they've finished training; nothing can stop me from training!

…………

After getting through the first round of elimination matches, the pressure in the subsequent round-robin matches will be much less.

As time passed, the reserve team had all recovered from their injuries, so Huo Yuhao gave them his chance to play.

Having already demonstrated his formidable strength to everyone at the very beginning, he now lets others hone his skills.

However, he still guarded against any unexpected events in the second-to-last position, and the last one was naturally the invincible Ma Xiaotao.

The final order of appearance is: Wu Feng, Xiao Xiao, Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei, Xi Xi, Huo Yuhao, and Ma Xiaotao.

Their opponents were Yunluo Advanced Soul Master Academy. Wu Feng and Xiao Xiao fought with all their might, but unfortunately, the difference in cultivation brought about by the five-year age gap was not so easy to overcome.

After barely managing to replace one, the cunning Xu Sanshi took to the stage, using Xuanming Replacement and Tortoise Shell to continuously wear down his opponent before launching a sneak attack and winning.

The commentators didn't know how to explain it, so they could only try to beautify Xu Sanshi's movements.

However, the audience below the stage were not so polite. They felt that they had wasted their money on tickets, having paid to see such a sleazy way of playing, and even wanted to wash their eyes.

One by one, they glared angrily, cursing and swearing. Some excited spectators even threw rotten eggs at Xu Sanshi in the arena.

That is, with the soundproof shield activated, Xu Sanshi stood tall and proud, thinking that the commotion outside was a celebration of his feat of taking on six people at once, and even bowed elegantly to the surroundings in respect.

The Yunluo Academy team members were so angry with him that they almost cried. They turned around and left, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

Back in the hotel room, listening to Xu Sanshi still incessantly boasting about his achievements, Bei Bei couldn't help but curse.

"What are you pretending for? Your fighting style is so cowardly, you've completely disgraced Shrek Academy!"

Xu Sanshi looked bewildered and blinked repeatedly.

"No, I saw their reactions were really intense! I might even gain some fans this time."

Beibei was speechless. She told Xu Sanshi about the rotten eggs someone had thrown at him. Xu Sanshi was struck dumb and remained silent.

Everyone at Shrek Academy burst into laughter, filling the room with joyful chatter.

That evening, Huo Yuhao bought the cursed List Carving Knife, the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, at the Starlight Auction House.

As for money, how could the elderly not prepare travel expenses when the children are going out?

Moreover, Mu En had already given Huo Yuhao, who was practically the prospective head of the Sea God Pavilion, a savings card worth ten million gold soul coins.

The Soul-Eating Carving Knife was placed on the table, and all the spirits and Electrox curiously examined this carving knife that was haunted by curses and nightmares.

But beneath the unsettling curse lies an alluring vitality.

This is why, even though the carving knife gives people a feeling of being devoured, it continues to be sought after.
