Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 367 Inhuman Acts (10,000 words per day)

Both Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan possess a displacement soul skill that can be activated instantly, which is a prerequisite for the successful execution of this tactic.

On the contrary, He Caitou, lacking such soul skills, could only honestly utilize the inherent functions of the fortress battle strategy.

In Huo Yuhao's plan, the most suitable candidate for this tactic should be Xu Sanshi. He would rush into the enemy camp, activate the Soul Guidance Fortress, and use Xuanming Replacement to lock the enemy directly inside the fortress, which would be the most effective.

At that time, either the guy trapped inside will summon his teammates to dismantle the structure, or he will use his storage soul tool to collect the soul tools one by one. Being trapped for five to ten seconds is quite normal.

During this precious time, the Shrek team can take advantage of their numerical superiority to further expand their advantage.

After all, Jiang Nannan was able to assemble the Soul Guidance Fortress Turret in an instant because she learned from He Caitou and carried several Soul Guidance Devices from her ankles, knees, elbows, and other positions. She carried more than a dozen storage Soul Guidance Devices on her at once, which allowed her to assemble it so quickly.

Under normal circumstances, who would carry around a dozen or so soul tools? Why not just replace them with larger ones?

However, a storage soul tool can only store one or two parts at a time. Unless the other party's storage soul tool is of an extremely high level, the soul tool fortress can only be dismantled slowly.

If the enemy doesn't immediately think of using a storage soul tool to store the soul fortress, and instead hopes to break it down themselves, things will get even more interesting. The soul fortress is incredibly sturdy, and breaking it from the inside is extremely difficult.

With no room to maneuver, even swinging an arm is difficult. In such a cramped environment, it's already quite good if one can unleash 70% of their original strength!

At this moment, Meng Hongchen was in a stalemate. Although Jiang Nannan's teleportation was not as convenient as Xuanming's substitution, she had the invincible golden body!

Jiang Nannan stretched out her long arms and hugged Meng Hongchen tightly, forcing herself to activate her soul skill and expel all the poison gas from her body.

Jiang Nannan smiled slyly to herself, then activated her teleportation ability, leaving only Meng Hongchen and the poison gas she spewed inside the Soul Guidance Fortress turret.

To prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation to control the Soul Guidance Fortress turret, Jiang Nannan deliberately blocked all the observation ports on the Soul Guidance Fortress and also removed the main cannon. For a moment, Meng Hongchen, who could not see anything inside the dark fortress, almost cried.

Where is Jiang Nannan? How did she disappear? Where the hell am I?

Huo Yuhao completely underestimated the effectiveness of this tactic; not everyone possesses such a divine skill as mental detection.

This is precisely why, once the Soul Guidance Fortress is closed, with all light blocked, most of the Soul Guidance Masters trapped inside have no idea what their situation is like. Naturally, things like randomly firing the secondary cannons within the Soul Guidance Fortress become even more impossible.

As for dismantling the Soul Guidance Fortress piece by piece using a storage soul guide device.

Most Soul Masters trapped in the fortress could indeed think of this, but before they could, the vast majority of them would first have to go through several seconds, or even tens of seconds of panic, before they could come to this conclusion.

Especially when they hear the booming sounds coming from the fighting spirits outside, their unease makes them think about this point even more frequently.

That is, the soldiers of Ashina Castle who carried the bronze bell weighing several hundred pounds lifted the bell immediately after locking Huo Yuhao inside it. Otherwise, Huo Yuhao probably would have racked his brains and still not figured out how to escape in such a completely dark environment.

As for Xu Jiawei, Xu Jiujiu, and a group of ministers watching from the city wall, they were completely dumbfounded.

You locked people inside the Soul Guidance Fortress, then teleported out yourself, removed the main cannon, and blocked all the observation ports?

Is this how Shrek Academy does human affairs?

The mixed poison of ice and fire spewed out by Meng Hongchen was currently corroding the Soul Guidance Fortress, but this would eventually take time. He Caitou, who was in the rest area, scratched his head with a pained expression.

His equipment cost over 200,000. Although the most valuable main cannon was not damaged, Meng Hongchen's actions caused a direct economic loss of over 100,000, enough to buy a level 5 invincible shield.

"Teacher Wang, the school should reimburse this expense, right?"

He Caitou looked at Wang Yan with a bitter expression. Although he was not short of money because of Fan Yu, he would definitely ask the academy for reimbursement if possible.

Wang Yan smiled and comforted He Caitou: "Don't worry, the school can reimburse this amount of money. If you're not in a hurry, I'll reimburse you according to the price of a level 5 soul guide fortress when I get back to school. You'll have the money to build a level 5 soul guide fortress when you become a Soul King."

"The Sun Moon Academy team used seven level-five invincible shields right from the start. This expense is normal, so don't worry."

Upon hearing this, He Caitou's eyes lit up immediately, wishing Meng Hongchen would ruin a few more sets of Soul Guidance Fortresses for him.

Meng Hongchen was immediately imprisoned by Shrek Academy, reducing the number of Soul Masters still capable of fighting to three. Meanwhile, the seven members of Shrek Academy were almost unharmed, and the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt.

Soon, Huang Jinxu sighed softly, blocked all of Shrek Academy's subsequent attacks, and dragged out the members of their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Only then, with tears blurring her vision, Meng Hongchen used the mixture of ice and fire poison to completely corrode through the Soul Guidance Fortress, emerging from it in a disheveled state, tears streaming down her face.

Although Meng Hongchen is immune to the poison gas it releases, the pungent odor produced by the poison gas corroding the metal is not just as unpleasant as it seems.

The scorching gas was so potent in the enclosed space that Meng Hongchen could only keep crying to protect her eyes from the intense irritation.

"Girl, are you going to continue playing?"

Huang Jinxu appeared in front of Meng Hongchen. Meng Hongchen took out a handkerchief and painstakingly wiped away all the tears from the corners of her eyes. Looking around, she realized that apart from herself and the referee, the only other people on the entire Soul Fighting Stage were the Shrek Academy members.

When Meng Hongchen saw this scene, her nose tingled with grievance, and tears welled up in her eyes once again.

Now she knew how frustrated those opponents who were tricked and ousted by Xu Sanshi using the Xuanming Replacement technique felt.

On the city wall, Xu Jiujiu patted her chest with lingering fear. Luckily, she was speedrun by the Shrek team. Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be for a princess of a country to be bullied and made to cry on the Soul Arena?

Seeing Meng Hongchen's reaction, and then looking at the spirited Shrek Seven on the field, Huang Jinxu announced loudly: "In the final team battle of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, Shrek Academy wins."

"Each side will have one minute to rest. After one minute, the individual elimination rounds will begin. At the same time, each side should decide on the seven players who will participate in the elimination rounds. Once decided, they cannot be changed."
