Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 26 Shrek's First Defeat

Huo Yuhao was overjoyed after hearing Electrolux's words. Although Elder Electrolux's power was now greatly diminished, his knowledge as a top-tier expert was still sharp. Without Elder Electrolux, he would never have been able to acquire this Gold of Life.

And then there's the inheritance Elder Yi mentioned later, which belongs to a demigod-level powerhouse! Huo Yuhao had witnessed Elder Yi's restraint over evil forces, and if he could obtain this power, his own strength would be greatly enhanced.

After fusing with the Gold of Life, Huo Yuhao decided to go into seclusion for three days to digest his gains. Having received such a great opportunity, Huo Yuhao felt it was better to calm down and consolidate his strength.

As for the competition, the group that the Sun and Moon team was assigned to did not have any strong opponents, so it didn't matter at all if Huo Yuhao didn't participate in the competition.

After speaking with Elder Ma, Huo Yuhao locked himself in his room and began meditating. Although this seclusion was relatively short, the gains were sure to be substantial.

Three days later.

Huo Yuhao stepped out of the room, his demeanor extremely reserved and natural. In three days, Huo Yuhao had fully absorbed the sudden boost brought about by the Life Gold. His physical and mental recovery abilities had greatly improved, and now minor injuries no longer posed any problem for him.

Even his soul power has increased by two levels. Huo Yuhao's soul power has now reached level 25 and is overflowing, and he may break through at any time.

The benefits of the Life-Gold don't stop there. As time goes by, the Life-Gold fused with the Sea of ​​Spirit will continuously nourish Huo Yuhao's spirit and body. This benefit is long-lasting.

When Huo Yuhao emerged from seclusion, Elder Ma was holding a meeting with the students to discuss the competition. Now that Huo Yuhao had emerged from seclusion, he naturally wouldn't miss this meeting.

"This is Shrek Team's first defeat today," Elder Ma announced after everyone had gathered.

Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised to hear this, even though he had expected it.

Shrek Academy ultimately lost. Without their starting players, how long can they last?

Apart from Huo Yuhao, everyone else had watched today's match, so they weren't too surprised. Elder Ma continued, "Shrek still hasn't sent any of their regular players. In today's match against Zhengtian Academy, the strength of their reserve players exceeded our expectations. The title of the number one academy on the continent is indeed well-deserved. However, judging from the strength of their reserve players, it will be difficult for them to advance from Group 1."

Coach Ma gave a brief overview of today's match, mainly to accommodate Huo Yuhao, a player who hadn't watched the game.

"If we don't defeat Shrek Academy head-on, what good will it do us even if we win the championship? Nobody will recognize us as champions; we'll just become a joke," said Ma Rulong, the team captain, in a very emotional voice.

He had trained diligently for so many years, all so that he could face Shrek Academy head-on on this stage, even if he lost, he would have no regrets. Instead, it's like now, where Shrek Academy hasn't even sent a single official member from the start!

None of the regular team members around Ma Rulong dared to stop him from his roar; they all agreed with their captain. With Shrek Academy members competing in such a weakened state, no one would consider this championship worthy of their reputation.

"It's alright, Captain Ma. Even if you don't get recognition this year, I will take the championship fair and square next year and leave the world speechless." Xiao Hongchen never considered the atmosphere when he spoke, and as soon as he said this, the regular team members looked at him angrily. However, he didn't care much.

"Laughing at the world, I'm unlucky to have encountered such a Shrek Academy this year. But next time, Shrek will definitely not make the same mistake. I hope you can really keep the championship in Mingdu!"

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly upon hearing their argument. Shrek Academy had only lost one match; they weren't eliminated. Furthermore, the official team members weren't entirely without a chance of playing; judging from their expressions, they already assumed they were guaranteed the championship. This kind of underestimation of their opponents was definitely not a good thing.

"Captains, stop arguing. Although I didn't watch the match today, judging from Shrek's previous performance, they are definitely not that simple. Since three official team members came to register, it means their injuries are not serious and they should be able to recover and play soon."

The three official Shrek members who didn't play are all formidable opponents.

First, let's talk about the red-haired female team member. From my perception, she is the strongest, and her martial soul's elemental attribute is extremely high, possibly close to the limit. She gives me a very dangerous feeling.

Secondly, that White Tiger team member should also be a Soul Emperor. A Soul Emperor with a top-tier beast martial soul; none of us are his match.

The last female student, who seemed aloof, was also quite formidable. In terms of cultivation level, only Captain Ma could truly hold his own.

Once they've all recovered, reaching the finals won't be difficult at all. Even taking the championship from them won't be easy for us. And there's a high probability we'll fail!

Huo Yuhao calmly analyzed the strength hidden behind Shrek Academy. Just as he said, each of the three official members brought by Shrek Academy was an unparalleled genius, and the Sun Moon Team could not guarantee that they could win the championship from them.

After listening to Huo Yuhao's analysis, the crowd gradually recovered from the shock of Shrek Academy's weakened state. They began to face the facts Huo Yuhao had stated: if the opposing team's three members recovered in time, their lineup would be a strong contender for the championship.

"Since none of us can accurately assess Shrek Academy's strength, there's no point in continuing the discussion. Let's stop here and focus on our own tasks. Meeting adjourned." Old Ma announced the end of the meeting.

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

After the meeting, the students who had participated in the competition without Huo Yuhao's assistance over the past two days flocked to him to complain. Without Huo Yuhao's support, their performance on the field plummeted. Not only were their opponents' attacks much easier to land, but their own attacks were also prone to missing. If it weren't for their significantly higher cultivation levels, it would have undoubtedly been a fierce and intense battle.

Only after losing someone do you realize how precious Huo Yuhao is. A soul master who has never had Huo Yuhao's assistance has an incomplete life. And a soul master who has had Huo Yuhao's assistance but then loses him along the way will have a life that is incomplete.

The intense desire of everyone at Sun Moon Sect for Huo Yuhao proved how wise Dean Jing Hongchen's initial training plan for him was. Only with Huo Yuhao's assistance could Soul Masters unleash their full combat potential.

Meng Hongchen was overjoyed to see Huo Yuhao surrounded by everyone like a star being fawned over. It was as if everyone was praising her.

Huo Yuhao smiled as he watched them chatter around him, but his thoughts were on Shrek Academy: "You guys absolutely mustn't fall! I hope you can make it to the finals. I really hope to meet you in the finals, big brother!"
