Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 320 Great Soul Master (Daily 10,000 words)

This incredibly powerful ranged Soul Master was forced to exhaust both his Soul Power and Physical Strength by Chen Zifeng, a melee Soul Master. Chen Zifeng's strength is truly beyond doubt.

Among the Soul King level students present, no matter who they are, as long as they are melee-type, even agility-based Soul Masters, none of them have the confidence to do better than Chen Zifeng. Under such disadvantageous circumstances, he was only one step away from killing a Soul Master of the same level who was his natural counter. Chen Zifeng's performance deserves applause.

At this moment, below the Soul Battle Arena, Huo Yuhao first hugged Chen Zifeng before leading him back to the rest area.

"Yuhao, I'm sorry."

Chen Zifeng lowered his head, his eyes filled with regret.

"Don't say that, Senior Chen. You've already done very well. I just told you yesterday how to deflect arrows. I only gave you one day of intensive training, and you've already done this well. That's quite excellent."

Huo Yuhao looked at Chen Zifeng intently. Although he couldn't help feeling regret when he saw Chen Zifeng make a mistake, he knew that his own skills hadn't been acquired overnight!

He was riddled with arrows by Genichiro, falling and reviving repeatedly before finally overcoming Genichiro's challenge. In comparison, Chen Zifeng had done a really good job.

Facing a player who was his natural counter, and forcing the opponent to essentially lose all fighting ability, Chen Zifeng's performance was beyond reproach.

As Shrek Academy's most powerful healing elder, Elder Li's healing methods are quite excellent. Wang Dong's appearance when he stepped off the stage was not very good; his pinkish-blue hair was charred yellow by the flames.

His originally fair and handsome face was blackened by smoke when he forcibly broke through the fireball explosion, and black smoke even came out of his mouth when he opened it slightly.

Even so, after a short treatment by Old Li, Wang Dong was fully recovered. His originally dark face had become fair and delicate again, although his complexion was still slightly pale.

"You two, watch out for us in the next round. I'll win back your share along with Brother Beibei and Senior Gongyang."

Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Dong and Chen Zifeng and then spoke.

"come on."

Chen Zifeng nodded heavily, then raised his fist and bumped it with Huo Yuhao's.

Huo Yuhao's gaze fell on Wang Dong. Although Wang Dong was too weak to move, he still clenched his fists and raised his arm.

"Take good care of your injury and watch my performance."

Huo Yuhao walked up to Wang Dong and gently bumped fists with Wang Dong's.

After exchanging a fist bump with Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong finally slumped contentedly into a chair in the rest area, his arms hanging limply at his sides. Only his large, blue-pink eyes remained open, watching the three of them step onto the Soul Battle Stage.

Beibei's eyes narrowed slightly, as if lightning flashed within them.

At this moment, his fighting spirit had reached its peak, like a volcano that could erupt at any moment.

Gongyang Mo also took out the Soul Guidance Staff that Huo Yuhao had prepared for him. Who said that support-type Soul Masters can't fight? After the competition, he must go and learn from Ning Ge, the junior who just entered the Inner Academy.

On the inner city wall in the distance, Xu Jiawei stood behind the battlements, watching the competition field.

He showed Shrek his admiration and respect through his actions.

Shrek Academy's fighting spirit configuration this time was clearly downgraded, but at this moment, they have already won everyone's respect with their actions.

On the platform, the referee has already given the signal.

On the Zhengtian Academy side, the last three team members slowly walked onto the competition stage.

Level 58 Power Attack Type Battle Soul King - Ye Wuqing.

Level 53 Power Attack Type Battle Soul King - Yu Mengdi.

Level 46 Auxiliary Control System Soul Master - Shangguan Can.

Huo Yuhao slowly stepped onto the Soul Battle Platform. With each step he took, his aura and fighting spirit rose to a higher level. When he reached the three people and slowly grasped the katana in his hand, Huo Yuhao's aura and fighting spirit merged into the katana, forming an extremely sharp power.

This was sword intent, or perhaps something like knife intent. In any case, this was the first time Huo Yuhao had truly experienced such a mysterious and profound power, which made him doubt its existence.

The all-encompassing intent of the sword speaks louder than a thousand words.

Ye Wuqing and the others from Zhengtian Academy silently swallowed. You, breaking through at the last minute?

They could naturally sense the surging, tidal wave-like aura and the sharp, blade-like edge brewing within Huo Yuhao, which made the three of them feel a sense of unease.

Elder Xuan and Elder Li, who had been watching from the audience, nodded thoughtfully. Even they hadn't expected that Huo Yuhao would be able to develop his own sword intent and his own 'momentum' at the age of thirteen.

The two players came to the center of the playing platform and faced each other.

Since he already knew the other party's identity, Huo Yuhao did not speak again.

The first to speak was Ye Wuqing, the captain of Zhengtian Academy.

"Shrek is Shrek Academy after all. Although I don't know why Shrek Academy sent you to participate in the competition, you have earned respect with your strength. My name is Ye Wuqing, captain of Zhengtian Academy."

"You'll know after the match. I'm Huo Yuhao, the captain of Shrek Academy."

Ye Wuqing's pupils suddenly contracted, but were quickly replaced by a strong fighting spirit.

"Because of our respect for you, we will give it our all, truly give it our all. You have your pride, and so do we. We will definitely win this battle."

In response, Huo Yuhao simply drew his katana slowly: "Many people have said the same thing, and I've seen plenty of guys who were even more certain than you. Unfortunately, they all broke their promises, and you are no exception."

Yu Mengdi's expression hardened, as if she wanted to say something.

"Step back and prepare for the match."

The referee promptly interrupted the two sides, who were already at loggerheads before the match even began.

Both sides retreated and quickly reached the edge of the playing platform.

All six participating team members were burning with fighting spirit.

The competition hadn't even started yet, but it was already filled with a strong sense of tension.

For both sides, this is a match they cannot afford to lose.

No one will take this weighty honor lightly.

Wang Yan, who had originally wanted to give up today's match, clenched his fists and prayed silently.

Regardless of the outcome, you have done your best.

Whatever you do, don't do anything foolish! Come back alive!

Two Soul Kings and one Soul Master are facing off against one Soul King, one Soul Master, and one Great Soul Master.

This match looked absolutely lopsided; no matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like a sure thing for the team to win.
