Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao, the villain from a parallel world

After a moment of surprise, she looked at Huo Yuhao with admiration.

Huo Yuhao was already very handsome, and when he spoke these words with a confident and unquestionable tone, Meng Hongchen became even more fascinated by him.

"That's right, we must show them what our senior brother and I are capable of."

"These Shrek Academy students are all talk and no action; they don't seem to have any real strength at all."

Meng Hongchen curled her lip and said disdainfully.

Xu Sanshi, who used to be sarcastic towards her, was poisoned into unconsciousness this morning.

If it weren't for the rules, Meng Hongchen would have killed him outright.

"Oh, let's not talk about that anymore. It's getting late, let's hurry over to the restaurant."

After chatting for a while, Meng Hongchen remembered the purpose of their trip and quickly pulled Huo Yuhao toward the restaurant.

................................................

Early in the morning, before the sky was fully bright, Xingluo City was already bustling with activity.

The crowd inside was enthusiastic, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the participating teams.

Huo Yuhao got up early and left the Star Emperor Hotel with Elder Ma and others. As they walked on the road to Star Luo Square, the surrounding crowd cheered for them.

Admiring the strong is a common mentality, especially in a world like Douluo Continent where people possess extraordinary power and can be invincible on their own.

After their victory over Shrek two days ago, many people who were previously very unfriendly to them, and even those who had been insulting them, have now become friendly.

People walking on the street are willing to cheer for them and support them in winning the championship of this competition.

These changes had little impact on Huo Yuhao, but the other team members smiled and even interacted with the people around them.

Before long, they arrived at the rest area.

There were significantly more soldiers maintaining order around the area, because the news of Shrek Academy's defeat was just too shocking.

Everyone wanted to see what made the Sun and Moon team so special that they managed to defeat Shrek Academy.

This led to another significant increase in the number of spectators.

Chapter 168 Shrek's Tumultuous Fate

Once he sat down in the rest area, Huo Yuhao could feel many people staring at him.

The vast majority were spectators, and a small number were members of the teams participating in the competition.

His performance in the previous competition was so impressive that it was impossible for others to pay attention to him.

All participating teams had to consider their upcoming matches against the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

How do we deal with Huo Yuhao as an opponent?

They all understood that this was a problem they needed to consider, otherwise they would have no chance of winning at all.

This is an opponent capable of easily defeating a top-tier Soul King.

Huo Yuhao sat down and glanced around, finally stopping his gaze in a rest area not far from them.

In that rest area sat a girl dressed in a light yellow outfit, with top-notch looks and figure, and an air of nobility about her.

She looks to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Huo Yuhao noticed her gaze because the girl had been staring at him ever since he arrived, and her emotions seemed rather complicated.

Of course, these feelings do not involve romantic relationships between men and women.

The coexistence of hostility and goodwill is somewhat perplexing.

"For a long time."

Huo Yuhao silently recited the woman's name in his heart.

In his world, he and Xu Jiujiu didn't actually have much interaction, whether in the competition or elsewhere.

Perhaps the most frequent times we met were during wartime, when we met on the front lines.

Xu Jiujiu's strength is not bad, but compared to him, there is still a world of difference.

Huo Yuhao suddenly turned his head, and Xu Jiujiu was forced to look into Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Those deep, unfathomable blue eyes startled Xu Jiu Jiu, who quickly turned her head away, unable to meet his gaze.

Seeing her like this, Huo Yuhao didn't bother with her anymore and closed his eyes to cultivate his soul power.

After a long while, seeing that he was no longer looking, she breathed a sigh of relief.

But the pressure in my heart did not decrease at all.

The reason she kept watching Huo Yuhao was naturally because she wanted to find a way to defeat him.

In the Douluo Continent, advanced Soul Masters can actually judge the strength of lower-level Soul Masters simply by observing them.

Xu Jiujiu is now a five-ring Soul King, while Huo Yuhao is only a three-ring Soul Master. Logically speaking, such a large difference in soul power should reveal something.

However, after a long time, no clues were found.

Perhaps the only discovery is that Huo Yuhao is unfathomable and impossible to understand.

Just after yesterday's competition, Xu Jiawei had a talk with her, advising her to give up the idea of ​​winning the championship in this competition.

Because right now, the strength of the Sun and Moon team seems like an insurmountable obstacle.

Xu Jiujiu was still somewhat unconvinced by this.

She felt that the Star Luo Royal Academy was quite strong, and as long as they could find a way to limit Huo Yuhao, it wasn't impossible for them to win the championship.

However, the obsession with winning the championship was not the most important reason why Xu Jiujiu had been observing Huo Yuhao for so long.

Most importantly, before the match between Huo Yuhao and Shrek Academy, Xu Jiawei had actually spoken to her once, telling them to work hard and maybe they could win the championship of this competition.

But just a few days later, Xu Jiawei told them to give up competing for the championship, which made Xu Jiujiu very dissatisfied.

"Forget it, we definitely won't be able to tell anything from this. Let's just wait for the next match of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

"He will definitely show some of his strength again during the match."

After a long while, he turned his gaze back to the stage.

As the sun rose high in the sky, the Shrek Academy students finally arrived at Starry Sky Square.

Injured Beibei and Chen Zifeng didn't come, but Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and the newcomer Dai Huabin all showed up together.

This makes it seem like Shrek Academy not only hasn't lost any students, but actually has more.

This change surprised the audience and caused quite a stir.

"Why are there three extra people at Shrek Academy?"

"Yeah, didn't they just have two yesterday? How come there are three more now?"

"Shrek Academy is definitely going to go all out. They must have felt threatened after their defeat to the Sun Moon Empire yesterday."

“That’s right, these three people must be the hidden strength of Shrek Academy. Judging from their appearance, all three should be regular members. One of them is already close to twenty years old, so their strength must be very strong.”

When talking about the team member who was nearly twenty years old, most people looked at Dai Huabin, not Ma Xiaotao or Dai Yueheng.

Because of the side effects, Dai Huabin now looks far too mature.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for the competition's age restriction of 20 or older, everyone would assume that Dai Huabin is over 20.

Dai Huabin naturally sensed this situation; his previously cold expression now turned somewhat gloomy.

After all the teams were in place, the host asked the team leaders to draw lots again.

Not long after, Mr. Ma finished drawing lots and returned to the rest area.

After defeating Shrek Academy, their strongest and most formidable opponent, none of their next opponents posed any threat.

In the second round, their opponent was Yunluo Advanced Soul Master Academy, which was not particularly strong; in fact, it could be considered quite weak.

There is no chance of winning against the Sun and Moon team.

After all, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is the ancestor of all other Soul Master academies. Even within the Sun Moon Empire, it is an invincible force. How could Soul Master academies from other countries possibly rival them?

After learning about their opponent, no one took it seriously.

After careful consideration, Coach Ma decided to send in the reserve team, along with several regular players who had already played.

There's no need to send Huo Yuhao and his team onto the field for a match that could be won so easily.

But things weren't so easy at Shrek Academy.

When Wang Yan returned, his face was extremely grim, just like the expression he had yesterday when they drew the Sun and Moon team.

Seeing these expressions, the Shrek Academy students, who had finally managed to boost their morale, couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in their hearts.

"Teacher Wang, tell me quickly, which team did we draw?"

Ma Xiaotao, who is always impatient, couldn't help but urge him directly.

Wang Yan smiled bitterly, his tone full of helplessness, and said, "It's Zheng Tian Academy, the opponent we least wanted to face, as we've said before."

The Shrek members' expressions changed upon hearing this name.

Chapter 169 Let Shrek stay in the round-robin tournament.

At the previous pre-match meeting, Wang Yan introduced all the opponents in their group to the Shrek Academy team members.

They also developed specific tactics for each opponent.

Zhengtian Academy was mentioned in particular.

This is the strongest team in their group besides the Sun and Moon team.

Like Shrek Academy, Zhengtian Academy comes from the Heavenly Soul Empire. It is an old and powerful academy in the Heavenly Soul Empire and has cultivated many genius students.

Among the four great empires on the continent, the Heavenly Soul Empire is the one that most insists on the tradition of Soul Masters and rejects Soul Masters.

Therefore, Zheng Tian Academy actually practices the pure soul master concept more thoroughly than Shrek Academy.

After all, no matter how much Shrek Academy rejects soul tools, it still has a soul tool department that allows students who like soul tools to study them.

However, there is no Soul Guidance Department in Zhengtian Academy; it is purely a Soul Master Academy.
