Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 307 Hahaha, here comes the chicken soup! (10,000 words per day)

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, Huo Yuhao plopped down on the floor, seemingly deep in thought. His focused expression stunned everyone from Qianling Academy.

This wasn't Huo Yuhao trying to scare anyone again; it's just that such a large-scale dynamic mimicry required a high level of mental focus from him. He had to be completely focused, otherwise it would be too ridiculous if everyone's spirit ring configurations were suddenly revealed halfway through the fight.

Faced with this bizarre situation and unusual positioning, the soul masters of Qianling Advanced Academy were utterly astonished.

Although after the first two matches, they believed that Huo Yuhao's spirit rings were likely fake, no one dared to underestimate Huo Yuhao's combat power. Even if he wasn't a Soul Saint, he must at least be a Soul Emperor.

Like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox, they cut the fortress tactics into small pieces. This performance was truly terrifying. Their people tried to slash around randomly with a dagger, and their best record was only five slashes per second. This was just random slashing!

In comparison, Huo Yuhao's precise strikes of twenty slashes per second on average were simply despair-inducing.

Although Shen Ce, the javelin captain and Soul King, had a strong fighting spirit, he was completely unsure whether he could really defeat Shrek.

Even if the opponent is not a Soul Saint, but a Soul Emperor, he would have almost no chance of defeating him.

This match will be difficult.

Thousand Spirits Academy lined up in their most conservative formation.

Yang Ming, Song Hu, Bai Chen, and Ye Mao, the four members of the Lingxi Shield Soul Sect, stood in a row in front.

The main attacker, Shen Ce, was positioned in the center, while An Lengye and Fei Yuyan, who controlled both ice and fire, were positioned on either side.

"The match begins."

After receiving the information from Huo Yuhao, Wang Yan even went so far as to explain the characteristics of each member of Shrek Academy to the group during their preparations for battle. His analysis was extremely thorough.

To put it simply, the formation that Qianling Academy was currently displaying could be described as: four shields combined to form an impregnable fortress, and ice and fire controlling the Thousand-Strike Spear.

Therefore, the main attacker of Thousand Spirits Academy is essentially only one person: their Soul King captain. The remaining four belong to the same sect because their martial souls are exactly the same: the defensive Spirit Rhinoceros Shield, a mid-to-high-grade defensive martial soul.

With a loud shout from the referee, the players from both Shrek Academy and Thousand Spirits Academy simultaneously released their martial spirits.

However, in addition to releasing their martial souls, the members of Thousand Spirits Academy also released their spirit rings, while on Shrek Academy's side, only Huo Yuhao released his spirit ring.

It still had the same yellow, purple, black, and red spirit ring configuration. The terrifying spirit rings had just been exposed to the air, and along with them came a massive amount of spirit power.

Those who encounter the pressure of a 100,000-year-old spirit ring for the first time will find it difficult to resist immediately. Thousand Spirit Academy was also momentarily stunned because the pressure came so suddenly.

Taking this opportunity, the Shrek team threw seven instant-explosion smoke grenades into the Thousand Spirits Academy's position.

"Bang bang bang"

The Shrek team timed the seven instant-explosion smoke grenades perfectly, detonating them over the Thousand Spirits Academy's position. The explosions were extremely rapid; almost instantly, the gray smoke spread out in all directions like a sudden sandstorm.

The thick, dense smoke quickly enveloped the entire Thousand Spirits Academy's position, completely obscuring visibility.

Amidst this gray smoke, the students of Thousand Spirits Academy felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Their vision was blurred, as if obscured by a thick veil, making it impossible for them to clearly see their surroundings or the enemy's location. They could only rely on hearing and other senses to perceive changes in the outside world.

Thousand Spirits Academy has always hoped to draw a team battle, because only in team battles can they unleash their strongest combat power.

However, this variation of the fortress-like tactic also forces them to sacrifice agility, leaving them only able to passively take hits. While other teams might simply retreat out of the smoke, they can only hold their ground in the smoke, praying that Shrek's offensive won't be too intense.

As long as they can hold out until the smoke clears, they will be able to launch a counterattack!

The four people in front of them released their martial souls, and their bodies were enveloped in a layer of dark yellow light. Then, their bodies changed as their martial souls were released.

Their already tall bodies became noticeably more robust, their skin acquiring a dark yellow sheen and appearing rougher and thicker. The most dramatic change was in their right arms. The muscles in their thick forearms convulsed violently, and shields seemed to sprout from their right arms.

As a precaution, the four Spirit Shields of Qianling Academy instantly converged and merged to form a shield wall.

Countless dark yellow lights burst forth from the surface of the shield, blocking the Shrek Seven's path forward.

However, Shrek Academy did not intend to force their way through this wall of sighs. Otherwise, they would not have benched Chen Zifeng and He Caitou, the team's most powerful attackers. If Shen Ce, the captain, were not the only offensive-type Soul Master in Thousand Spirits Academy, Shrek Academy would not have done this. But unfortunately, there are no ifs.

Gongyang Mo slowly cast a buff aura on Xu Sanshi. Five buff auras appeared on Xu Sanshi's body at once, and the gazes of the crowd towards Xu Sanshi carried a touch of tragic grandeur, like the mournful cry of the wind and the cold of the Yi River.

"My mental detection will remain on. If you act quickly, your fate shouldn't be too dire."

Huo Yuhao patted Xu Sanshi on the shoulder with a solemn expression, then switched places with Xu Sanshi, letting Xu Sanshi stand in the very center of the group.

Xu Sanshi looked at Jiang Nannan with deep affection, but before he could say anything, Jiang Nannan glared at him and shut him up.

Huo Yuhao's mental detection spread out in a fan shape, accurately locking onto the location of Captain Shen Ce.

Thousand Spirits Academy wasn't idle either. The Frost Bear strode forward, arriving behind the shield wall. A rich layer of icy blue instantly spread out, adding a layer of frost to the original deep yellow shield wall.

After this, the defensive power of the Spirit Rhinoceros Shield has increased by at least 30%.

After that, the Frost Bear slammed heavily onto the ground again, and a layer of icy blue light emerged from the ground, cleverly bypassing the four Spirit Shield Soul Masters and rapidly expanding outwards.

From the blazing tiger's mouth, a burst of intense flames spewed directly at Shen Ce's feet. Instantly, a fiery red halo appeared, bathing Shen Ce in crimson light, and the Thousand-Strike Spear in his hand was also instantly tinged with fiery red.

Thick flames began to appear on the body of the Thousand-Strike Spear.

Fei Yuyan's first soul skill is a flame-added soul skill similar to Huo Yuhao's Holy Flame Sword Blade, except that it only has the fire attribute and can only add the fire attribute to one person at a time, but the effect is equally powerful.

Just as Thousand Spirits Academy was on high alert, wary of Shrek Academy's approaching forces, Shen Ce's figure quietly disappeared from Thousand Spirits Academy's territory.

"Holy crap!"

Shen Ce looked around abruptly and was horrified to find that the fog in front of him had dissipated, replaced by the ferocious smiles of the six Shrek members.

This, this isn't right, who is trying to frame me today?
