Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 348 From Nobody to Fame (4K)

As the holy land of soul tools, they are even more aware of how terrifying the power of this giant cannon, driven by seven people working together, is when it is suddenly unleashed. If an ordinary Soul King dares to stand in the path of the plasma ray, he would probably be vaporized in an instant!

Huo Yuhao hovered in mid-air as if dancing, spinning like falling cherry blossoms, catching the plasma rays with his blade and returning them all to him.

Xiao Hongchen stammered, "It's probably fake. That's a huge Thunder Cannon!"

Ma Rulong was also dumbfounded: "This works? The blade catches the lightning and returns it to the lightning dragon with a beautiful, dance-like slash?"

Huo Yuhao's "Lightning Retribution" was the first time he had shown his talent in the continent-wide advanced competition. No one knew that Huo Yuhao actually possessed such a unique skill that could tame lightning.

Under the stunned gazes of Riyue Yifang and Xu Jiawei, Shrek Academy once again left the Soul Arena without any hesitation.

The Douling Academy suffered a humiliating defeat this time, almost entirely due to their own fault.

Qianling Academy did the same thing before; they were a group of people protecting a core member in the middle.

The so-called Ice and Fire Combination Thousand-Pound Spear was like this, and it fell to Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement.

It's foolish of Douling Academy to dare to imitate Shrek Academy's methods again.

Using a trick the first time is genius.

The second time you use it, it might not be the same.

Perhaps Douling Academy believes that their defense is stronger than that of Qianling Academy, but how dare Douling Academy still use this trick unchanged when facing Shrek Academy with Xu Sanshi?

Moreover, besides Xu Sanshi, Shrek Academy also has Jiang Nannan, who possesses an invincible golden body and teleportation abilities.

Under Huo Yuhao's mental detection, Jiang Nannan teleported over just before the Thunder Cannon finished charging and stood on the track.

Xu Sanshi, who was thrown into the air, plummeted rapidly. He chose Jiang Nannan as the anchor point for the Xuanming Replacement and fell from the sky. He directly slammed the cannon barrel of the Thunder Giant Cannon, which had been holding back the opponent for more than a minute and had drained seventy or eighty percent of the team's soul power, and it went astray.

Xu Sanshi plopped down on the end of the cannon barrel, causing the Thunder Cannon to instantly point at the ceiling and fire a powerful shot.

From this moment on, the Douling team had almost lost all chance of victory. The defenses of the three defensive Soul Kings were shattered by He Caitou's Super Energy Cannon, and the remaining members each had less than 30% of their soul power reserves. The four-team team, which originally had five Soul Kings, lost everything because of a wrong strategy!

After a day of rest, there's not much to say about facing the individual elimination match against the Douling team.

Dai Yueheng, a true Soul Emperor, easily defeated three opponents in a row, leading Shrek Academy team into the quarterfinals.

Other inner court students also made appearances. The five Soul Kings of Douling Academy were a formidable force, and it was indeed inappropriate to send outer court students to fight them head-on.

The round of 16 matches proceeded smoothly.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also defeated its opponent and advanced to the quarterfinals.

It's worth mentioning that their captain—Ma Rulong, a Soul Emperor-level player—still did not participate in the battle.

So far, Ma Rulong, Meng Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen have not yet made a move.

However, for Huo Yuhao, the exposure of all three's abilities was only a matter of time. Even if Ma Rulong didn't appear until the finals, as long as the opponent dared to reveal their spirit rings, their hidden trump cards would become useless.

In recent days, the most popular figures have become Dai Yueheng and other members of the inner court.

That's just how the audience is.

Aside from die-hard fans, they like whoever is powerful.

Most people admire strength, for no particular reason.

With reduced exposure, they will naturally fade from the public eye.

Moreover, Dai Yueheng was the captain of the previous Shrek reserve team before being overtaken by Ma Xiaotao, so he was already quite popular.

Of course, this popularity was mainly concentrated in the rest area of ​​the various academies. Seeing Dai Yueheng's violent performance of defeating multiple opponents, even the Sun and Moon Academy couldn't help but feel a little serious when they saw the opponent's combat power.

In the subsequent quarterfinals, Lady Luck once again smiled upon the Shrek Academy team, arranging for them to face a familiar opponent.

Zhengtian Team.

The team that eliminated Chen Zifeng's senior, Tang Xiaolei, was the one whose last arrow was shot by that weirdo on the opposing team. Chen Zifeng couldn't block it, and thus they unfortunately lost the second battle.

This time, Chen Zifeng faced Tang Xiaolei again. He unleashed a flurry of sword flowers with his Soul Chasing Sword, successfully deflecting all five of Tang Xiaolei's arrows. With the sword tip pressed against Tang Xiaolei's throat, he triumphantly defeated the four members of Zhengtian Academy who were then eliminated.

Ling Luochen successfully eliminated the remaining three players, and the Shrek team easily advanced to the semifinals.

The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is nearing its end.

And the epilogue also signifies the arrival of the climax.

Unlike the previous semifinals, the draw was done on short notice and the matches started immediately, leaving no time for careful tactical planning.

It is not only a test of each college's ability to perform under pressure, but also a test of their information gathering and sustained combat capabilities.

Therefore, this strategic meeting before the semi-finals was exceptionally long.

Wang Yan analyzed all the information he had collected, and Huo Yuhao also provided the soul skills of the members of the Star Luo Team and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Team that had been exposed so far.

The strategic meeting, which was arranged in one go, lasted for a full three hours, from lunch to dinner, and only ended slowly after sunset.

Shrek wasn't the only one doing this; the other three parties did the same.

The battle that will determine the final outcome is about to begin. This is not only a battle for glory among the four top academies, but also a stage for these participating students to showcase themselves.

Any member of an academy team that makes it to the top four in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament will receive extremely high treatment after graduation, regardless of which faction they join.

If one chooses to serve in the national system, they can generally obtain a noble title.

Therefore, this grand event, which has been held for more than 10,000 years, is not just a simple money-making competition, but also a contest for countries to select and compete for elite talents.

Team Shrek is the best of them all.

Any student who has participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament will become a guest of honor for top forces from all sides after graduation.

However, it's uncertain whether this top-tier power belongs to the student's own family, an ancient organization renowned throughout the continent, or a newly emerging force.

Whether one becomes an unknown nobody or a household name, a clear conclusion will emerge after this once-every-five-years event concludes.
