Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 309 Ten Seconds, Battle Over (Daily)

Without their captain and the two control specialists to command, Thousand Spirits Academy was thrown into chaos. The four of them looked at each other in bewilderment. Continuing the fight would surely result in defeat, but admitting defeat would feel incredibly frustrating.

After all, their academy was fully prepared, but they didn't manage to launch a single effective attack!

They didn't even know when their captain disappeared, or when Xu Sanshi appeared in the center of their team.

At this moment, the students of Qianling Academy finally understood the reason for the cheers from the audience outside, and also understood what the audience's earlier calls meant.

Less than ten seconds into the match, it was almost completely over, leaving everyone in awe.

Although this match lacked flashy soul skills and breathtaking scenes, and Huo Yuhao only slightly released his soul rings, it ended just as quickly as the match where Ma Xiaotao personally took action, and in fact, it was even faster.

A few teams in the audience showed a hint of disappointment. Although Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Zhen and Xuanming Shenhua ended the match in a shocking way, this was not what they wanted to see. This was a team with a Soul King, how could they have used two Soul Skills from Shrek Academy in a team battle!

Even though all the members of Shrek Academy, except for Huo Yuhao, are four-ring Soul Masters, and have a total of more than thirty Soul Skills, so far they only know that Ma Xiaotao has Phoenix Meteor Shower and Xu Sanshi has two Soul Skills. They know almost nothing else.

By the way, those buff auras that Gongyang Mo put on Xu Sanshi in one go might also be considered part of the intelligence, but they can't tell what attributes these buff auras represent or the amplification ratio!

If Shrek Academy continues to maintain this form, they might still have more than twenty soul skills hidden until the finals. Are those really more than twenty soul skills?

Those are more than twenty of Shrek Academy's trump cards!

Their strength was already inferior to Shrek Academy's, and as a result, they couldn't even accumulate enough soul skills. For a time, many teams that had originally planned to challenge Shrek Academy's championship title before the start of the competition became somewhat disheartened.

Seeing the dejected expressions on the faces of the other trainees, Wang Yan felt much more at ease.

Can't hold back anymore, folks? Feeling hopeless, huh?

Don't worry, this is just the preliminary team. In about ten days, the main team members will have recovered from their injuries. It won't be too late for you to despair then.

The so-called law of conservation of smiles states that smiles do not appear or disappear out of thin air; they only transfer from one person to another, or from one group of people to another.

At this moment, Wang Yan grinned, his smile completely undisguised.

"Shall we continue?"

Bei Bei cracked his knuckles, which made a popping sound. He hadn't expected Xu Sanshi to be able to predict the battle as perfectly as Huo Yuhao had done before the battle. In Wang Yan's supplementary remedial plan, Xu Sanshi was supposed to be the one who got beaten up. At that time, they would have to consider how to break through this tortoise-like defensive formation.

That's why, apart from Xu Sanshi, most people didn't actually get a chance to make a move. Only Gongyang Mo got to enjoy himself by hitting Shen Ce unconscious with his soul-guided staff. He's currently showing signs of developing in Ning Ge's direction.

Seeing the rampant lightning on Beibei's dragon claws and its malicious gaze, the members of Qianling Academy wisely shook their heads. Forget it, even if the four brothers could break through the encirclement, Huo Yuhao, the 'Soul Saint,' was still standing outside.

Rather than risk total destruction, they should consider how to preserve their strength and strive to win all eight remaining matches without losing a single one, so that they might still have a chance to advance.

If they were to actually fight Shrek Academy members, the chances of winning would be slim. However, the number of casualties in a Soul Battle could significantly impact the outcome of the subsequent Soul Battle.

After glancing at their captain, who had been knocked unconscious on the Soul Arena in the distance, one of the defensive Soul Masters gritted his teeth and stepped forward, making the wisest choice.

"We concede defeat."

Shrek Academy wins!

At the referee's announcement, the seven Shrek Academy students stood in a row, bowed slightly to their opponents, and then filed off the stage.

They fooled me again!

The Shrek members looked at each other, laughing uncontrollably, but remained silent, afraid of giving themselves away.

And so, under the admiring gaze of the audience, the Shrek team once again upheld their fine tradition: they didn't watch the match and left as soon as it was over.

Once everyone was seated in the conference room, the noise finally picked up.

"Sanshi, you've got some skills."

Beibei patted Xu Sanshi on the shoulder. Although it's not common for an individual player to win seven consecutive matches, it happens a few times in each competition. But this time, Xu Sanshi can be said to have won seven consecutive matches in the team competition.

Although there were tactical and prop coordination factors, as well as the influence of Huo Yuhao's reputation, it is still a fact that Xu Sanshi single-handedly defeated a seven-man team.

The group discussed the matter noisily for a while until Wang Yan slapped the table and began to explain to everyone the opponent they would face the next day.

The seven students from the outer academy present are all exceptional geniuses capable of competing against those of higher levels.

But they can only contend; it doesn't guarantee them victory. Fortunately, with Gongyang Mo's boost, even in a contest, they have a significant advantage. Add Chen Zifeng to the mix, and Shrek's stats on paper are actually quite respectable.

In addition, there is Ma Xiaotao as a trump card. Although Ma Xiaotao is currently focused on breaking through the bottleneck of level 70, if the next opponent is too strong, Ma Xiaotao will have to come out again.

After all, Shrek Academy's opponents this time include three Soul Kings, one of whom is even close to becoming a Soul Emperor.

Only Yang Yifan, who uses a dagger-wielding martial soul, is weaker in cultivation; he is a level 42 agility-attack type soul master.

The remaining three were all high-level Soul Masters, and their methods were extremely difficult to deal with.

Among them, there was a Soul Master named Blood Wolf with the highest cultivation level, whose Soul Power level had reached level 48, and who also cultivated both Agility and Power Attack.

Unlike Thousand Spirits Academy, which only allowed one captain to use drugs to produce a Soul King, Shrek Academy's next opponent was clearly a team that used drugs. Wang Yan didn't believe that these people had achieved such high Soul Power levels through their own cultivation, especially the guy who was close to Soul Emperor.

If someone truly possessed such talent, there's no way they wouldn't have come to Shrek Academy.

The other party is not a royal academy of the major empires. In recent years, members of the royal families of the major empires have indeed not enrolled in Shrek Academy much, which is also a change in the political atmosphere of the three empires.
