Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 352 Xu Sanshi's Clowning Around (8K)

"We're sure to win, hehe. With all fourteen of us Shrek Monsters together, what enemy can stop us?"

Xu Sanshi started to joke around, saying something witty and lighthearted.

Dai Yueheng nodded in agreement: "Confidence comes from strength. The reason why Shrek Academy has become the number one academy on the continent is because the academy's education never forces growth."

"Every member of our team who is able to participate in this competition has earned their current fighting strength step by step through their own hard work. Therefore, our Shrek Academy's Soul Masters are different from those of other academies."

"Perhaps our opponents can close this gap with soul tools or some strategies and tactics. But they are still far from being able to defeat Shrek Academy."

For a moment, a flame of pride ignited in everyone's eyes, even Wang Dong was no exception. He was quite proud, and he raised his head slightly with a hint of smugness on his face.

Only Huo Yuhao, with his head tilted to one side, his left arm propped up, a few fingers of his left hand touching his face, his eyes showing contemplation.

"What's wrong, Yuhao?"

Chen Zifeng was somewhat surprised to see that Huo Yuhao wasn't particularly excited about what the others were saying.

"Hmm, were you saying that to boost morale, or do you really think so?"

Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, but finally looked up at the others and asked.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of Huo Yuhao's reasons for saying that, but Ma Xiaotao still spoke up confidently.

"Of course I really think so. People from other academies are short-sighted, taking those growth-enhancing drugs. They're definitely not as strong as us Soul Masters who have cultivated through real training. Isn't that obvious?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, even Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, acknowledging Ma Xiaotao's words.

Ma Xiaotao continued, "Since that's the case, what's wrong with Dai Yueheng saying that everyone who participated in this competition has earned their current strength through their own hard work, and is much stronger than other teams?"

Huo Yuhao simply blinked and asked, "Really, Sister Xiaotao?"

For some reason, Ma Xiaotao felt that Huo Yuhao was planning to target her, his senior, but after thinking it over, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. So she proudly puffed out her chest, making everyone dizzy.

"Of course it's true."

After saying that, Ma Xiaotao felt a surge of secret satisfaction.

She, as the senior sister, had never properly guided her junior brother before. Today, she finally had the opportunity. Although she didn't know if Huo Yuhao was suddenly confused, she had to seize this opportunity to teach him.

"In that case, could Senior Sister catch any Mighty King Kong Bear cub and raise it from a young age until it reaches the tenth level, then let it defeat a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear of the same age at the tenth level?"

"I can assure you, Senior Sister, that this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear will only eat and sleep, sleep and eat. The Mighty King Kong Bear, on the other hand, can be trained however you like, no matter how hard you try. Senior Sister, who do you think will be the final winner of this sparring match?"

Ma Xiaotao was stumped by Huo Yuhao's question. Logically speaking, if the two Mighty King Kong Bear cubs were raised for ten years using these two completely different methods, the former would definitely have a greater chance of winning than the latter.

However, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is different. It is a top-tier soul beast. A ten-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can hunt many hundred-year-old soul beasts as if it were a joke. Some thousand-year-old soul beasts may have their necks severed by a single claw if they are not careful.

Even a Mighty King Kong Bear that has been trained for ten years, no matter how rich its combat experience, may not be able to kill its enemy with a single blow. Once the ferocity in the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear cub, which eats and sleeps all day, is unleashed, ten Mighty King Kong Bears of this age would not be enough to kill it.

Just as Ma Xiaotao was about to argue that the well-trained Mighty King Kong Bear wasn't necessarily worse than the lazy Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Huo Yuhao shut her up with a single sentence.

"If the Dark Gold Devil Claw Bear puts in the same effort, does the Mighty King Kong Bear have a chance of winning?"

These words struck like a thunderbolt, creating a thunderous roar in everyone's hearts. They finally understood what Huo Yuhao wanted to express.

They all keep saying that Shrek Academy students cultivate diligently, step by step, which is why they are superior to students from other academies. But does that mean that only Shrek Academy students know how to work hard in the entire Douluo Continent?

Bullshit!

Students from other colleges aren't dead. They also work hard, compete within their colleges, and aspire to become rising stars, represent their colleges in major competitions, achieve better rankings, and become famous and legendary figures within their colleges.

However, even if most people try their best, they still cannot achieve this, because the watershed moment in a Douluo person's life is in the amniotic fluid. The level of their martial soul and the level of their innate soul power at birth almost determine a person's upper limit.

Huo Yuhao's innate soul power level has improved from the first level to about the sixth or seventh level of innate talent. He has suffered a lot, endured a lot of pain, and been through countless near-death experiences. He has also encountered many fortuitous encounters thanks to the favor of the heavens to get to where he is today.

Even if others were prepared to die for it, they wouldn't have that many opportunities to strike it lucky. Apart from the Xuan Shui Dan, which might be a bit of a chance, the wisdom soul rings of Qian Daoliu and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the 400,000-year soul ring and soul bone of the Ice Emperor, and the living carving knife that can be called a divine artifact—which of these could be obtained casually?

Currently, all the Shrek Academy members sitting here, except for Huo Yuhao, whether they are reserve team members or regular team members, have innate soul power of no less than level nine, and there are plenty of players with maxed-out innate soul power.

Apart from Ling Luochen, Xixi, and Chen Zifeng, whose innate soul power was only at level nine, the rest of them were all people with innate full soul power, a rare sight even ten thousand years ago.

In addition, these people all have more than one soul bone, and some even have several. No matter who they are, none of their soul bones are less than ten thousand years old, because they know very well that a thousand-year soul bone is not even worthy of appearing on their group of geniuses.

An extremely high innate soul power level represents an extremely high martial soul quality. Apart from low, medium, and high-level martial souls, there are also top-level martial souls and super martial souls above that. Among these people, whose martial soul quality is lower than that of a top-level martial soul?

That's not all. Both Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi possess the bloodline of a super martial soul.

During the previous Soul Battle, the reason why Bei Bei was able to perish together with Ye Wuqing, a Soul King of level 58, with the power of a Soul Master was not only due to Gongyang Mo's assistance, but also because of the brief activation of the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul.

Otherwise, do you really think that a high-level Soul King who is almost level 60 is easy to deal with?
