Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 19 Critical Situation

The spirit ring configuration of the Shrek Academy's lineup shocked all the spectators watching the match. They couldn't understand why the usually dominant Shrek Academy would send such a young and inexperienced team to such an important competition.

Even the Emperor of Xingluo was taken aback. He knew that Dai Yueheng, the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, was among the official participants of this year's Shrek Academy competition. He was a White Tiger whose cultivation had reached the Soul Emperor level. In terms of strength, even the fourteen team members on the field working together might not be able to defeat him.

Even if the audience was puzzled, the match had already begun. They might be surprised, but for the Shrek Academy students on the field, their only goal now was to defeat their opponents and continue to uphold Shrek's glory.

Bei Bei was the fastest; as soon as the referee finished speaking, she unleashed her martial spirit and charged out. Xu Sanshi and Xie Huanyue followed closely behind, while Jiang Nannan moved to the flank, ready to harass the opponent's formation at any moment.

Xiao Xiao controlled the battlefield from the rear, while Wang Dong was responsible for protecting her.

Upon seeing Bei Bei's actions, He Caitou quickly began assembling the soul tool components on his body and took the opportunity to release several soul skills. With his summoning, several cigars of different styles appeared in his hand.

He Caitou quickly distributed the cigars. Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi each received three, one for increasing strength, one for increasing defense, and one for increasing soul power. Xie Huanyue received two, one for increasing defense and one for increasing soul power. Jiang Nannan received one, one for increasing soul power, and she put one in her mouth to increase mental power. However, she couldn't use the cigars that increased soul power on herself.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong didn't receive any either. Apart from the soul power boost, the other boosts were useless to them. It was already quite an achievement for He Caitou to quickly create four fourth soul skills in such a short time, so he didn't bother to provide them to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao for the time being.

When the seven students from Tianling Academy saw that the Shrek Academy's strength was not much different from their own, or even slightly inferior, they were somewhat at a loss, not knowing what was going on.

However, upon seeing that this Shrek team wasn't as powerful as rumored, they cast aside their confusion, and a strong fighting spirit surged within them. If they could defeat them, their names would surely be among the most dazzling words in future history!

The young man from Tianling Academy was the first to recover. He then shouted, rousing his teammates from their shock. "The enemy is charging!" He then activated his Martial Soul.

His name is Ben Yangyao, the captain of Tianling Academy. His martial soul is the Blazing Crystal Black Tiger, which has the ability to control flames and also has extremely strong power. It has always been a strong existence among beast martial souls. It is still slightly inferior to top-level beast martial souls such as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but with his level 49 soul power, it is enough to make up for this insignificant gap.

After releasing his martial spirit, Ben Yangyao immediately charged forward. He couldn't let the enemy attack his formation without any restraint. In a team battle, once the formation is broken, it will be surrounded by several people, which can easily lead to casualties!

During his charge, his third spirit ring lit up. The powerful thousand-year spirit ring granted him unparalleled strength, and his third spirit skill increased his power by a full 120%!

Seeing that their captain had already engaged the enemy, the other three rushed out of the group and followed their captain forward. The remaining three team members also released their martial souls: one a control-type Soul Master, one a support-type Soul Venerable, and a Soul Master to protect them from the rear.

The martial soul of a control-type soul master is the Dark Night Spider, an extremely mysterious soul beast. They only appear at night and possess the extremely rare dark attribute in this world. Prey bound by the spider web will be constantly attacked by a strange dark energy.

This attack isn't fatal, but it continuously corrodes the prey's soul power until they become an ordinary person, at which point the power ceases to be a threat. It's an extremely troublesome power. If given enough time to lay their web, Shrek Academy will undoubtedly be defeated!

In comparison, the abilities of support-type Soul Masters seem less powerful. His Martial Soul is a book with nine pages, each page recording an amplification ability. He did not obtain any Soul Power amplification skills, but could only amplify the defense and speed of the target. His other Soul Skill is to provide a shield that can withstand damage.

It's safe to say that Tianling Academy's combat strength should not be underestimated by anyone! This is a powerful Soul Master team.

Beibei has already made contact with Benyang Yao. With the amplification from He Caitou, although Beibei's soul power is slightly weaker than Captain Tianling's, he can still hold his own. Moreover, because his martial soul quality is higher, he might even have a slight advantage.

The situation of the others was similar to that of Beibei. Their strengths were already very similar, and with the various buffs balanced, they naturally could not break the stalemate.

However, both sides have a powerful weapon: He Caitou's soul-guided turret is being assembled rapidly. If Bei Bei and the others hold out for even a moment, he can unleash terrifying energy capable of destroying the entire opposing team!

The students of Tianling Academy shared the same thought, and their vice-captain, Li Fei, quickly deployed Dark Night Spider Silk in every corner of the arena. Although the damage wasn't as direct as He Caitou's Soul Guidance Cannon, it could slowly erode their soul power, causing them to surrender without a fight.

But battles never follow any rules. A speed-type Soul Master who was entangled with Xie Huanyue quickly broke free and rushed towards He Caitou, wanting to get rid of this big trouble.

Xiao Xiao was on guard against this kind of sneak attack in the backcourt. Her first soul ring lit up, and the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron shook! The shockwave of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron stunned the Tianling student who was rushing towards her.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wang Dong launched an attack, his first spirit ring lit up, and his winged guillotine was about to strike the enemy student's body.

Unexpectedly, the Tianling students who were being controlled by the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and Wang Dong quickly dodged past; he was not controlled at all!

Although Xiao Xiao's martial spirit was powerful, her soul power was too low, and she couldn't exert much control over the opposing student, whose cultivation level was Soul Master. Instead, she was deceived and the student rushed towards her.

Xiao Xiao, a Great Soul Master, was unsurprisingly defeated by the opposing student! Her strength was far too weak in this battle; she could barely contribute anything.

With Xiao Xiao's elimination, the Shrek Academy team also fell into crisis. An agility-type Soul Master was running rampant behind their formation, and the enemy's defenses could not be breached in a short time. The enemy's powerful control-type Soul Master was accumulating power behind the defenses, ready to take control of the arena at any time.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Shrek is in dire straits, with little hope of victory.

The audience erupted in uproar when they saw Shrek's first member be defeated.

How could the invincible Shrek they envisioned be so easily defeated?

Keep in mind, Tianling Academy is only a mid-tier team! How could Shrek Academy lose to them?
