Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 308 Xuanming's Replacement Achieves Great Merit (10,000 words per day)

Before Shen Ce could react, he had already been hit hard on the back of the head. Gongyang Mo stroked the level-five soul-guiding energy-gathering rod in his hand, looking quite pleased.

So this is what life is like for non-support Soul Masters!

Shen Ce felt a dizzying sensation rising from the depths of his consciousness. He tried to put up some resistance, but the Thousand Strike Spear he was holding had already slipped from his grasp. He wanted to shout a warning to his teammates, but his body fell uncontrollably toward the ground of the Soul Arena.

The hundreds of thousands of people in the audience gaped in astonishment, including Xu Jiawei.

Even the referee was stunned.

Just a moment ago, wasn't that kid named Xu Sanshi standing in the middle of Shrek Academy? How did he become the captain of Thousand Spirits Academy in the blink of an eye?

Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement is just that unreasonable and domineering. Its only drawback is that, like Cui Yajie's charm, it can only be activated after the enemy is seen and locked on.

However, this is a team battle spirit, and Huo Yuhao's mental detection can help Xu Sanshi complete the replacement silently without any visual contact.

Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Displacement is a true spatial skill, not a forced teleportation or dragging. Even a titled Douluo might fall victim to it if caught off guard.

This was also the first time Huo Yuhao had ever witnessed a true spatial skill. According to Xu Sanshi, this spirit ring was taken from a 1,500-year-old Void Spirit Turtle.

Just as Shen Ce was knocked unconscious by Gongyang Mo's blow to the back of the head, Xu Sanshi, who had been transferred inside Qianling Academy, also made his move. Before the Qianling Academy members in the smoke could react, he used his first soul skill, Xuanming Zhen, to lock onto the two major control-type soul masters of Qianling Academy and begin to activate it.

Although many viewers couldn't see where Xu Sanshi went, they cheered when Shen Ce suddenly appeared in Xu Sanshi's location.

Soon, most of the audience realized what was happening, and a deafening cheer erupted, leaving Qianling Academy completely bewildered.

What exactly is Shrek doing outside the smoke, and why are the audience cheering?

"Be careful, Thousand Spirits Academy!"

Many die-hard fans of Thousand Spirits Academy also shouted at this moment, but in the blink of an eye, they could only shout out this one sentence.

It's common practice for spectators to call out player positions in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, but since the people calling out positions are paid spectators, not substitute players in the rest area, the referees can only turn a blind eye.

Moreover, calling out positions is usually a two-way street, but the venue for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament is generally flat, so unless there is a smoky situation, it is not common for the audience to call out positions collectively.

At this moment, the people from Thousand Spirits Academy were also puzzled as to what Shrek Academy outside had done. The four defensive-type Soul Masters gripped their shields even tighter, fearing that a fixed-position Soul Guidance Cannonball might hit them at any moment.

Of course, the use of fixed-mounted soul-guided cannons is prohibited in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. However, what happened next may have caused no less damage to Thousand Spirits Academy than a fixed-mounted soul-guided cannon.

Xu Sanshi, who was in the arena, didn't care about anything else. He raised the Xuanming Shield high and unleashed a Xuanming Shock with the power of Xuanming, crashing it into the most vulnerable Fei Yuyan.

A fortress is always best breached from the inside.

It wasn't until Fei Yuyan let out a scream and flew backward that Qianling Academy realized something was wrong. Had the enemy already silently circled around to their side?

"shrink!"

Four Soul Masters, gripping their shields tightly, quickly retreated to the side and rear, protecting Shen Ce and An Lengye in the middle. Shen Ce, protected by the people from Qianling Academy, was grinning from ear to ear, inhaling the fragrance emanating from An Lengye; it was simply wonderful.

An Lengye then sensed something was wrong. The position of 'Shen Ce' beside her seemed to be facing her, not the direction in which Fei Yuyan was being attacked. At the same time, the figure of 'Shen Ce' in the mist also revealed something strange. From the distance, it seemed that the other party was stronger.

"not good!"

As the smoke cleared, An Lengye could see the dark green Shrek Academy uniform on the other party's body. She was about to make a move, but Xu Sanshi had already raised the Xuanming Shield and was waiting!

"Miss, I'm sorry, but blame Yuhao. He was the one who arranged this tactic."

As soon as Xu Sanshi finished speaking, the Xuanming Shield slammed down again. An Lengye wanted to escape, but the sturdy bodies of her four loyal teammates who were protecting her kept her firmly in place.

At this moment, the four people belatedly turned their heads away, but what could they do?

"Empty!"

The hollow Xuanming Shield struck An Lengye's head with a 'thud'. Xu Sanshi also reduced his strength slightly, the force was just right, enough to daze without hurting his brain, knocking all the little stars out of An Lengye's head.

"Hey, you bastard!"

One of the shield-wielding Soul Masters finally reacted and was about to attack Xu Sanshi when An Lengye dazedly fell towards that person.

"Wow, there are so many stars in broad daylight!"

After saying this, An Lengye fainted next to the person, so much so that the other person had to use their free hand to hold her to prevent her from falling.

With one strong attacker, two controllers, and three key players eliminated without explanation, the Qianling Academy's chances in this match are over.

The Shrek Academy members had also gathered around, each holding a soul-guided ray gun to ensure that each of the four defensive-type soul masters from Thousand Spirits Academy could get at least one gun.

The saying "If one point is breached, the whole game is lost" perfectly describes this situation.

No tactic is invincible.

Four-man shield formation – this is an almost indestructible front-line lineup.

Even if a speed-based attacker could charge into the battlefield alone, they would be instantly killed by Shen Ce wielding the Thousand-Strike Spear, and by the two summoned beasts that were lurking nearby, which were transformed by their martial souls.

The instant smoke explosion, combined with the Xuanming Displacement, immediately exerted an extremely exaggerated destructive force against the cumbersome formation of the Thousand Spirits Academy. In a different scenario, the effect of this skill might not be so good.

When facing other teams, even with smoke grenade cover, this is basically a suicide move; getting one for one is already considered a good result.

Unless Xu Sanshi, who was substituted in, has perfect timing, he will most likely be instantly ganged up on and eliminated by the opposing team.

However, against the Thousand Spirits Academy team, which, like the tortoise, only has one strong attacker and can't move, then this tactical coordination is absolutely a piece of cake.
