Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 312 The Archer's Raise Doesn't Lie to You (Daily 10,000 words)

"People who use bows and arrows are very straightforward. Women might lie to you, but an archer's raised hand will not."

"Use your eyes to see the direction of the arrow, not to look at your Soul-Chasing Sword. You must have a clear feeling about the position of your Soul-Chasing Sword."

"I can give you time to prepare, but arrows don't give you time. They have to be ready in an instant."

"Still can't defend against it? Then I won't hold back with the next arrow. Anyway, Old Li is here. The most important thing to deflect the arrow is to take a few hits first. Once you know the pain, you'll be able to deflect it."

"Next is the charged arrow. This type of shot is the easiest to dodge, but if you take a hit, you're basically dead. You have to be careful that your opponent doesn't take the opportunity to release a control-type soul skill. Once your movement is restricted, you have to find a way to deflect this arrow."

"Very good, next up is the continuous volley shots. Let me think about how to use them."

At this moment, Chen Zifeng's mind was filled with his conversation with Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao's heroic figure as he spoke, leaping into the air and shooting three arrows at him. When he dodged the three arrows in a sorry state, Huo Yuhao pulled the arrow fully from mid-air and almost shot him to the ground.

Just as Chen Zifeng was still immersed in the special training Huo Yuhao had given him yesterday, the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy arrived at the field once again.

Undoubtedly, they still want to observe Shrek Academy's overall strength.

Especially Huo Yuhao, is the opponent a Soul Saint or a Soul Sect Master?

This question baffled the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

After returning the day before yesterday, their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team held a long meeting to discuss Shrek Academy.

Although they had a lot of verbal sparring the day before yesterday, in the end no one dared to make a definitive statement on whether Huo Yuhao was a Soul Master or a Soul Saint.

However, they were certain that something must have happened to cause the absence of Shrek's personnel. But seeing that only seven people had appeared so far, Ma Rulong suddenly became unsure of his judgment from yesterday.

When you first entered, there were fourteen of you. How come today, even though our opponents have three Soul Kings, you're still just the same nine people fighting each other?

If you get a team battle or a one-on-one match, that's fine, you can use Soul Saint to sweep everything. But if you get a three-on-three match, are you really that confident about the remaining two small matches?

In the Shrek Academy rest area, the most nervous person was probably Wang Yan, the teacher in charge.

On the eve of this highly anticipated battle, he could hardly imagine how the audience would react if Shrek actually lost the match today.

At that time, if all that pressure fell on these children, would they be able to bear it?

Even the usually wise and calm Wang Yan couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless at this moment.

The Grim Reaper has too many tricks up his sleeve. Even with the protection of the Invincible Shield, four members of Shrek Academy's inner court were still caught off guard by the Corpse Poison. Fortunately, everyone from the inner court will be able to return for the next match.

Let's leave this competition to these kids to gain experience.

Winning would be ideal, but if we lose, the students from the inner court will make sure to get revenge on everyone.

Time ticked by, and Xu Jiawei, Shrek's number one fan and a true Shrek enthusiast, arrived at the city wall right on time.

Without involving the interests of the Empire, Xu Jiawei indeed had an immense fondness for Shrek Academy.

The referee stepped onto the stage, and his voice was amplified by the soul-guided device.

"Round 3, Match 1. The two teams facing off are Shrek Academy and Zheng Tian Academy. Please proceed to the waiting area. Captains, please come up to the stage and draw the match format."

Huo Yuhao slowly stood up and glanced at the captain of Zhengtian Academy. He should be the Golden Leaf Soul King with a cultivation level of 58, who was only 19 years old.

As they got closer, their eyes met.

Ye Wuqing's eyes were like sharp knives, constantly searching for any flaws in Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao was already prepared for this kind of person. He slouched and lazily walked towards the referee's area, his body full of flaws. "Look, look all you want."

The referee said in a deep voice, "The draw will begin. Both parties are invited to witness this."

Down in the audience, Wang Yan was gripping the armrests of his chair tightly with nervousness, frantically praying for a team fight.

For Shrek Academy, team battles are the most advantageous option, while individual battles are also a good option, provided that Huo Yuhao can reliably defeat the two Soul Kings.

The 2-2-3 format is the most troublesome for Shrek Academy.

The referee announced loudly, "Shrek Academy versus Zheng Tian Academy, the match will be a two-on-two, three-on-three contest. The first two matches will be two-on-two, and the last match will be three-on-three, best of three. Both captains may step down and prepare."

Upon seeing the lottery results, Huo Yuhao could only shrug helplessly.

Perhaps they used up all their good luck in the last game?

Upon entering the waiting area, Huo Yuhao could only helplessly shrug and glance at everyone.

"We've drawn a 2-2-3 format. Looks like Lady Luck isn't on our side today."

"Then let's stick to the tactics we discussed earlier. Let's gamble on whether Lady Luck will at least arrange the opponent's playing order for us. Since the format wasn't great, surely the opponent's playing order will be prepared for us, right?"

"Brother Xu, Sister Nan, the first match depends on the two of you. It would be great if the opponent could send at least one Soul King, but it doesn't matter if they don't send a Soul King. We'll definitely take a point."

Both nodded firmly. Although Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei had better teamwork, in two-on-two tactics, especially against strong opponents in two-on-two battles, the combination of Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan could produce some unexpected results.

After all, their soul skills are quite unpredictable, and so far, the two of them have only revealed two soul skills together, leaving them with plenty of tricks up their sleeves.

Xu Sanshi took a step forward.

At this moment, the arrogance that he usually never showed was ignited by his burning fighting spirit.

"I'm definitely going to win the first match. Either they'll completely take me down, or I'll come back victorious!"

Huo Yuhao patted Xu Sanshi on the shoulder with satisfaction: "That sounds inspiring. Remember, you don't necessarily have to run off the Soul Arena. Your Xuanming Replacement has already been revealed, so the opponent might be on guard."

"Sister Nan's waist bow is still there. As long as she changes quickly enough, Sister Nan can throw the person off the stage with a single waist bow. It's just as unpredictable. Moreover, Sister Nan's invincible golden body and teleportation haven't been revealed yet. Even if two Soul Kings come up, she can still fight them for a while."

Xu Sanshi grinned, turned around and strode towards the arena, waving to Huo Yuhao with his back to him.
