Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 126 The Unscrupulous Merchant Wang Dong (Daily Ten Thousand Words)

Stepping off the Soul Battle Platform, Huang Chutian and the Lan sisters exchanged a glance and both gave a wry smile.

Their team remained patient and didn't use their Martial Soul Fusion Technique even after losing a match.

Just like Huo Yuhao's team is the seed team of Class 1, Huang Chutian and the Lan sisters are also the seed team of Class 7, and they are tasked with breaking into the top three.

If it weren't for the fact that an enemy in that match happened to be the one who countered the three of them, they should have been the champions of the first district instead of having to face Huo Yuhao and his team. As a result, they even felt that they lost the match inexplicably, and they couldn't even use their Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

In a regular Soul Battle, everyone first releases their Soul Rings to activate their Martial Soul, then they exchange a few Soul Skills, and depending on the enemy's condition, they unleash their finishing move to win or lose the match.

However, when facing Huo Yuhao's team, it was as if they were facing a monster that could be seen but not grasped, but would suddenly strike them when they were not careful. From the moment their martial souls were attached, they were completely caught in a giant net. The more they struggled, the tighter the net became.

In the entire match, Huang Chutian couldn't even unleash a single soul skill, feeling incredibly frustrated. The Lan sisters weren't much worse off; they had been hiding their Martial Soul Fusion Skill for a long time without finding an opportunity to release it before being sent off the field. Their pain was no less than that of Chun Tian, ​​who was holding the King, Queen, and four twos but was thrown out by the first-strike enemy.

If Wang Dong could hear the three people's thoughts at this moment, he would definitely nod wildly. That's right, brother, that's right. He and Huo Yuhao were suffocated to death in the same way when they went to the Soul Arena. His two soul rings were useless except for shining. They were just decorations.

Unlike Huang Chutian's team, which had lost another match and was now in grave danger of advancing to the top 64, looking gloomy and dejected, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were grinning foolishly. This shared mental detection technology was really effective; wouldn't you be scared if you had eyes in the back of your head?

Wang Dong had never felt so masterful as he did today. He took a few steps back unhurriedly, leaped into the air to dodge the enemy's attack, and let the enemy suffer the consequences. He felt like he was walking on air all day.

"Alright, stop laughing. Well done."

Huo Yuhao helped the two who were laughing heartily to cool down. Wang Dong's performance this time was somewhat beyond Huo Yuhao's expectations. He didn't expect this guy to be so fast. He actually suffocated the seed team of Class 7 and didn't even let them release their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Since the other two members besides Huo Yuhao barely used any soul power, Huo Yuhao's team recovered very quickly, as they only needed to recover their physical strength.

A total of six teams participated in the assessment. After Huo Yuhao's team finished, the second round began immediately.

After the new student assessments were reorganized into different zones, the competition has become extremely fierce. Every victory increases the chances of staying on the team.

Therefore, apart from powerful teams like Huo Yuhao's who wanted to hide something and compete for the championship, everyone started to go all out.

The other teams in District 33 were completely bewildered after watching Huo Yuhao's team's latest battle. After fighting for so long, they still didn't know a single one of Huo Yuhao's team's soul skills.

Keep in mind that this is a team with three Great Soul Masters. They have so many Soul Skills that they haven't revealed a single one. This puts immense psychological pressure on the other teams.

Therefore, all the teams in District 33 unanimously chose the optimal strategy when facing Huo Yuhao's team: to start the game!

Yes, open for business.

When Huo Yuhao's team possessed at least six soul skills whose effects were unknown, almost every team had considered this possibility.

Rather than fighting to the death with Huo Yuhao's team and helping them gather information, it would be better to simply give up on the fight against Huo Yuhao's team. After all, even if they fought, their chances of winning against Huo Yuhao's team were extremely slim.

This is still a victory. What if we fought with all our might and still lost?

Almost every team shuddered involuntarily upon realizing this outcome.

Despite using all their trump cards, they were still crushed by Huo Yuhao's team. Losing one match was a minor issue; the more fatal consequence was that giving up all their trump cards led to a sharp drop in their competitive state, an inability to recover their soul power, and the possibility of being taken advantage of in other battles.

If any team fails to realize this and suffers a crushing defeat against Huo Yuhao's team after exhausting their physical and spiritual energy, their fate is almost certainly sealed: a series of consecutive losses.

Soon, the first round of three matches came to an end, and the second round of competition began.

Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao chose to stay at the back of the group and conserve their strength, letting Wang Dong, the energetic husky, go out and run wild on his own. Wang Dong was happy to do so and charged forward with the Clear Sky Hammer, but he was disappointed to find that his opponent did not even release his spirit rings.

"Boss Wang Dong, could you talk to Boss Huo and ask if we could rest on the Soul Arena for a while? We'll pay you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's eyes immediately lit up. He had just been robbed of 10,000 gold soul coins by Huo Yuhao and was worried about having to tighten his belt from now on.

How much?

Wang Dong asked in a low voice, but this idiot couldn't force the sound into a line, and Mu Jin heard their conversation clearly, causing her to frown and form several black lines.

These little bastards, can't they keep their voices down a little?

"Three hundred. Five hundred!"

The other party reluctantly gave a number.

"Six hundred, that'll be easy for the three of us to divide."

Having stayed with Huo Yuhao for so long, Wang Dong has also picked up some of his shrewd business acumen.

"Six hundred it is."

The other party reluctantly paid the money, and then a comical scene unfolded on the fighting stage. Wang Dong, holding a Clear Sky Hammer, hesitated to step forward, while the opposing captain, unarmed, single-handedly blocked Wang Dong, who had previously been unstoppable and dominating the battlefield. With just a casual step, Wang Dong would cautiously retreat several steps.

As for the remaining two players on the opposing team?

The two of them simply stood there to recover their strength, unwilling to move at all. If it weren't for the unfriendly expression on Teacher Mu Jin's face on the referee's stand, they probably would have sat down cross-legged on the Soul Fighting Stage to recover their soul power.

So, after a full day of competition, Wang Dong earned several thousand gold soul coins, and his face lit up with a smile as if he had eaten bee droppings.

"Wang Dong, is your heart black?"

As Xiao Xiao counted the embezzled money Wang Dong had given her, she teased him, saying she never expected Wang Dong to be so clever. He asked for 600 more for the first round, 900 for the second, and then 1200 for the third.

Wang Dong's meaning was clear: your opponents have all rested. Whether you rest or not, their physical strength is much stronger than yours. With their ample physical strength, they may have already won one or two battles that were originally uncertain, and their win rate has increased. Are you sure you don't want to pay the money and get more rest?
