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

It can be said that almost all of those who graduate from Zhengtian Academy are the most orthodox Soul Masters, and they don't even have the opportunity to learn about Soul Tools.

Regardless of whether their actions are going against the tide of the times or whether they will be eliminated in the future, at least in this period, Zheng Tian Academy is still one of the most prestigious and powerful academies in the entire Douluo Continent.

Moreover, the Zhengtian Academy team members who came to participate this year are the strongest they have ever been.

It's worth noting that they made it to the quarterfinals in the previous competition. Although they ultimately fell to the Sun and Moon team, their strength cannot be denied because of that.

They're now calling themselves the strongest team ever, so they must be even stronger than the teams that made it to the quarterfinals last year.

Wang Yan explained to them yesterday that the reason Zhengtian Academy said that was because one of their team members was hailed by Zhengtian Academy as a once-in-a-millennium genius.

Their current captain, Ye Wuqing, was once praised by Xuanzi. He said that if he were at Shrek Academy, he would definitely be able to break through to the Soul Emperor level before the age of twenty.

Whether this is true or not, let's not discuss that now.

At the very least, Ye Wuqing's strength is absolutely formidable.

Furthermore, in the current Zheng Tian team, besides Ye Wuqing, a top-tier Soul King, there are two other Soul Kings, and the other Soul Masters are all high-level Soul Masters.

Under normal circumstances, Shrek Academy defeating Zheng Tian Academy would be no problem at all.

However, among the Shrek Academy's current pool of potential fighters, there are only four Soul Kings.

Gongyang Mo and Yao Haoxuan are both support characters. If they draw a game mode other than team battles, they will be at a significant disadvantage.

It's hard to guarantee they'll win the game.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Yan calmed himself down.

"Drawing Zhengtian Academy is the worst possible outcome, but our chances of winning are still very high, after all, we are Shrek Academy."

"Although Ye Wuqing is very strong, you have already surpassed many Soul Masters on the continent by joining Shrek Academy. You don't need to feel guilty when facing Soul Kings of the same level."

After calming everyone down, Wang Yan turned to Ma Xiaotao and said, "Xiaotao, go up and draw the competition rules."

Ma Xiaotao nodded with a not-so-pleasant expression, stood up, and walked towards the competition stage.

On the other side, Ye Wuqing from Zhengtian Academy was also walking towards the competition stage.

Ye Wuqing looked to be around twenty years old, tall and handsome, only slightly less so than Huo Yuhao.

However, his expression was cold, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

In the rest area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, most of the team members wore gloating smiles as they watched Ye Wuqing and Ma Xiaotao walk onto the competition stage.

"Haha, Shrek Academy is really unlucky. They just fought with us before, and today they've run into Zhengtian Academy." Xiao Xiafeng laughed.

"It seems even the heavens don't want Shrek Academy to achieve anything in this tournament, arranging such strong opponents for them in two consecutive matches," Mika remarked.

As a team in the same group, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy naturally had some understanding of Zheng Tian Academy.

Knowing their strength, they are quite formidable within their group.

Not long ago, Shrek Academy had just fought a match with them, and two of their members were seriously injured by Huo Yuhao.

It can be said that after that battle, Shrek Academy, which was already not in its complete form, suffered an even worse blow.

Facing Zhengtian Academy now would be highly unlikely to result in victory.

The audience and the teams themselves largely shared this view, and did not expect Shrek Academy to win the match.

Many people felt that even if Shrek Academy won the match, the number of injured players on their team would definitely increase.

If that's really the case, then Shrek Academy's journey in this competition will probably come to an end.

Shrek Academy, which had won the championship for many years, fell in the round-robin stage of this competition, a scene that many people were eagerly anticipating.

Huo Yuhao remained calm in the face of this.

He knew that Shrek Academy could not possibly fall in the round-robin tournament.

If this situation were to actually occur, then the students of Shrek Academy would absolutely fight on the field even if it meant suffering long-term consequences.

When Ma Xiaotao and Ye Wuqing came to the competition stage, they looked at each other and saw the determination to win in each other's eyes.

Ma Xiaotao did it for the glory of Shrek Academy, while Ye Wuqing only wanted to defeat Shrek Academy and prove that Zhengtian Academy was no worse than Shrek.

Or rather, Ye Wuqing wanted to prove himself, that he could become a strong person no matter which academy he attended.

It is Shrek Academy that needs him, not the other way around.

The lottery bucket was tossed high into the air by the two people, spinning continuously.

Soon, a small ball fell out of the bucket.

Everyone immediately noticed that the small ball was yellow.

Yellow represents one-on-one combat.

Upon seeing the small ball of this color, everyone from Shrek Academy looked troubled.

Wang Yan couldn't help but shake his head; one-on-one individual combat was too disadvantageous for them.

It's even more disadvantageous than drawing the 2-2-3 strategy when facing the Sun and Moon team.

They currently only have four Soul Kings available to play; the rest are all reserve team members.

Two of these four Soul Kings are support-type, meaning they can't exert any combat power in individual battles.

Because they simply don't know how to use soul tools.

Although the people from Zhengtian Academy don't use soul tools, all three of them are powerful attack-type soul kings, so their combat strength is definitely invincible.

"Shrek Academy will stay in the round-robin tournament."

After learning about the competition format, Ye Wuqing coldly addressed Ma Xiaotao.

Chapter 170 Fighting Injured?

Ye Wuqing's tone was extremely cold, and it carried a sense of confidence and certainty.

He clearly believed he understood Shrek Academy's current situation very well and thought that if he were to fight Shrek Academy one-on-one, they would definitely be able to win.

Hearing his words, Ma Xiaotao wasn't too angry; she just stared at him with a cold gaze.

However, not being provoked doesn't mean Ma Xiaotao won't retaliate.

"Once you're on stage, you'll understand the difference between Shrek Academy and other academies."

"Zhengtian Academy? What kind of stray dog ​​is that?"

Even more scathing language came from Ma Xiaotao's mouth.

The fact that his academy was being so belittled made Ye Wuqing's cold expression turn ugly.

However, they will be opponents next, so it doesn't matter what harsh words they say on the field.

Ye Wuqing didn't linger with Ma Xiaotao and turned to walk off the competition stage.

Ma Xiaotao also quickly returned to the rest area of ​​Shrek Academy.

By this time, Wang Yan and his team had accepted the result of being drawn into the individual battle.

After all, they had already considered this situation last night and made operational plans, so it was naturally easier for them to accept it.

"XiXi, take the team to the waiting area."

Wang Yan said to Xi Xi.

Xi Xi nodded slightly and stood up. Behind her, Ling Luochen, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Dai Huabin, Tang Wutong, and Xiao Xiao also stood up.

That's right, this is the lineup they fielded for individual battles.

Apart from Xixi and Ling Luochen, the rest were all members of the reserve team.

It looks very shabby, but it's the strongest fighting force they can send out.

Yao Haoxuan and Gongyang Mo, both support-type Soul Masters, were very pure and had never learned how to use Soul Guidance Devices, so they could not exert any combat power.

If he were to go up and fight, his strength would probably be inferior to Tang Wutong, a three-ring Soul Master, so it would be better not to go.

Actually, the lineup they sent out was already quite strong, even compared to Zheng Tian Academy.

After all, although Zhengtian Academy is strong, not all of its soul masters are offensive type; there are also some support type soul masters who are not good at combat.

Therefore, once they take care of those Soul Kings from Zhengtian Academy, the team members they send out later will be much easier to deal with.

In any case, the genius students of Shrek Academy are stronger than those of other academies.

And this is true in every respect.

However, dealing with the three Soul Kings of Zhengtian Academy is a difficult task.

Ye Wuqing's strength is absolutely comparable to that of the Soul Kings of Shrek Academy. In fact, as a Soul King specializing in power attacks, he is even more well-rounded than Ling Luochen, who specializes in agility attacks and control.

Just as Xixi and the others were about to head towards the waiting area, Wang Yan couldn't help but stop Xu Sanshi, who was standing at the end of the line.

"Are you confident?" Wang Yan asked Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi shook his head with a solemn expression; he wasn't confident at all.

He had just used his Xuanwu bloodline two days ago, and he had not yet fully recovered.

After all, his divine beast bloodline is not fully awakened. It can only be stimulated and unleashed through soul skills or special means, so it is very normal for it to leave sequelae.

He hasn't fully recovered yet, and while he can still use his bloodline, its power is nowhere near what it used to be.

If his strength was comparable to a Soul King when he previously used the bloodline of a divine beast, then now that he has forcibly used the bloodline, his strength will at most reach the level of a top-tier Soul Master.

With such strength alone, defeating a Soul King will not be easy.

Forcing it would carry significant risks.

However, Wang Yan had no one else available, so he had no choice but to force Xu Sanshi to take the lead.

As for the other reserve players, Wang Yan didn't have high hopes.

Hopefully, this group can wear down the Soul Kings of Zhengtian Academy through a series of battles and then win this round-robin tournament.

"No matter what, do your best. Good luck." Wang Yan patted Xu Sanshi on the shoulder, indicating that they could set off.

Just as Xixi was about to lead them away, Ma Xiaotao suddenly spoke up.

"Wait a moment!"

Her tone was somewhat urgent, which startled Xixi and the others who were about to leave. They turned to look at her, somewhat confused.
