Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 289 Wang Dong, obsessed with dressing up as an old lady (Daily 10,000 words)

On the evening of the third day of the competition, Wang Yan gathered all the team members in the conference room for a meeting.

The injuries of the four people in the inner courtyard are steadily recovering. Under Elder Li's treatment, the corpse poison in their bodies has been successfully expelled.

Wang Yan looked at Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao: "In the first battle, you displayed the spirit of Shrek Academy and made Shrek's glory even more glorious."

"Over the past two days, I've been observing the competitions of other colleges while listening to the reactions from all sides to our first match, and the results have been even better than we expected."

"Many students have completely come to believe that our academy has produced a seven-ring Soul Saint with a 100,000-year Soul Ring and a four-ring Soul Master with a 100,000-year Soul Ring this year. At the same time, they are even more wary of the other students who have not yet appeared."

"Thanks to her deliberate performance that day, Xiaotao has now become the number one enemy recognized by all the academies."

Wang Yan waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down, and continued, "I've carefully reviewed the competition results of other academies over the past two days. This first round of elimination matches can only be described as brutal. There are almost no academies that advanced so easily like us."

"Even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy encountered fierce resistance from their opponents, and it took them a full ten minutes to end the battle. This means we have ample time to recuperate."

"The round-robin tournament will begin tomorrow. The roster for the round-robin is already out, arranged according to the order in which the players qualified from the first round of the knockout stage. Now I will proceed with the tactical arrangements for tomorrow."

Wang Yan said, "Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao are students I taught, and I am quite familiar with their abilities."

"However, I don't know enough about the other four from the outer courtyard. This will affect my tactical planning. So I hope you can tell me your soul skills."

For Soul Masters, Soul Skills are their greatest secrets. But within the academy, the situation is clearly different. Moreover, with the competition approaching, it's perfectly normal for Wang Yan to make this request.

Beibei nodded, as the captain, she was the first to set an example. She said in a deep voice, "I have four soul skills in total: Thunder Dragon Claw, Thunderous Might, Thunderous Fury, and Thunder Dragon Head."

As he spoke, he carefully described the characteristics and abilities of his soul skills, but then he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Yuhao, I've never revealed all my soul skills before. How did you know the effects of each of my soul skills, and even give me commands a few times?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan belatedly realized, "That's right, why can Huo Yuhao know their soul skills when he commands the fighting spirits?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head innocently: "As long as your spirit rings are exposed, I can see the descriptions of your spirit ring skills. I think it's not that easy to ignore the talent ability that you just awakened last year."

"what?"

"ha?"

"What the heck?"

For a moment, everyone in the inner and outer courtyards was stunned.

"Yuhao, you have such an overpowered soul skill?"

Wang Yan walked over in shock and looked at Huo Yuhao, his eyes twitching.

"It's not a soul skill, nor does it consume soul power. I can just see a line of small print on each of your soul rings, indicating the name and effect of your soul skill. Otherwise, how would I know that the Grim Reaper has the Corpse Explosion soul skill?"

Huo Yuhao shrugged. He hadn't expected that everyone would only realize now that he possessed the ability to see through other people's soul skills.

"Holy crap!"

Xu Sanshi exaggeratedly crossed his arms over his chest: "Then wouldn't you have seen me naked?!"

Huo Yuhao silently rolled his eyes at Xu Sanshi.

"I watched the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's match, and I've memorized all the Soul Skills of their Soul Masters. I'll compile them into a table later, and everyone can take a look."

"As for the other colleges, there's still a long competition ahead, so we can just watch them one by one."

Wang Dong belatedly realized that Huo Yuhao had disguised himself as an old man to watch the game, which was how he gathered information!

He thought he was just doing this for fun, but he never expected that Huo Yuhao was doing it to better obtain first-hand information.

Wang Dong felt a little embarrassed. He lay on the soft sofa and thought about how he had been obsessed with playing an old lady and competing with the audience for seats these past two days. He wished he could dig a hole and bury himself in it.

Damn it, we agreed to go out and have fun together, how come I suddenly have a mission to complete!

Wang Dong muttered to himself, squeezing one corner of the sofa so hard it was deformed, as if the sofa itself was Huo Yuhao.

"Good, good, good. Seeing through the enemy's soul skill is too overpowered. In this way, our opponents basically have no trump cards when facing us, unless they have soul bones or other premeditated tactics. Otherwise, it's like they're playing their cards open against us."

Wang Yan paced excitedly, his eyes burning with fervor as he looked at Huo Yuhao.

"Actually, teacher, other teams have very few tactics when facing Yuhao."

Gongyang Mo, who had been listening in, spoke up quietly. He had genuinely experienced the effects of Huo Yuhao's mental detection sharing.

No matter how fancy the tactical arrangements were, they couldn't be hidden by Huo Yuhao's mental detection. Often, as soon as they made a move, Huo Yuhao and his men would already have noticed their tactical intentions.

The fact that the opponents reacted faster than their teammates to the next tactic was incredibly oppressive.

"Excellent, let me think about the tactical arrangements for everyone next."

Wang Yan's furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

Unlike the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament ten thousand years ago, food-type Soul Masters can now prepare their Soul Skills in advance and bring them to the field. The reason is simple: for the vast majority of food-type Soul Masters, their true brilliance lies in the large-scale logistical support on the battlefield.

Therefore, in order to give food-type Soul Masters a place and allow them to occasionally make an appearance, the competition added this rule of allowing them to prepare food in advance. As long as you can bring the food you make onto the field, it's fine.

This is good news for He Caitou. He can now be used as two people. At the start of the game, he can prepare buffs for his teammates, and once he enters the game, he can return to his old ways and continue his relentless bombardment.

After sorting out all these scattered issues, Wang Yan's meeting finally got down to business.

After explaining the round-robin format, Wang Yan simply divided the matches into groups based on the two-two-three format.

The round-robin tournament is nothing new. Shrek and eight other teams are in the same group, and the top two teams in each group advance. It's that simple.

Wang Yan concluded, "That's the basic arrangement. For us, the most effective way to play is actually the latter two. Team fights are the easiest to expose our weaknesses, but if Yuhao controls the situation well enough, we can also play a trick in team fights."
