He sighed and said, "Let's start with tactics. If the lineup is not good, we can make up for it with tactics. Xiaotao, when the time comes..."
Just then, a calm voice interrupted Gong Yang Mo.
"Senior, why are you panicking?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "Tell me the spirits and abilities of the selected players, and I will make all the arrangements for the tactics."
Gong Yangmo was stunned and asked, "Just you?"
The corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth raised slightly.
"Yes, just me."
Chapter 117 The Disappearance of Mr. Huo
"From now on, you are rivals. In order to compete for the spot of not being a pig, go all out and don't hold back. Let the competition begin."
Ten minutes passed quickly, and Master Xuan gave an order, announcing the start of the competition.
Ma Xiaotao's team and Dai Yuheng's team were still very far away at this time.
Huo Yuhao looked forward, and two white soul rings appeared behind him. The shared spiritual detection had already covered seven people.
"Only two white spirit rings?"
The two regular team members, Xixi and Gongyang Mo, were shocked when they saw the color of his spirit ring.
It would be fine if the level was only twenty-six, but is the age of the spirit ring so low?
Just when they were still feeling disgusted, a massive amount of data suddenly poured into their brains, bringing them an incredible shock.
The entire assessment area's scene was fully visible to them.
Xixi and Gongyang Mo were both inner court disciples. They were broad-minded and realized how terrifying this skill was after just their first encounter. Being able to keep track of the enemy's movements at all times had extraordinary strategic significance, and it was no exaggeration to call it a divine skill.
Gong Yangmo smiled and nodded, and immediately understood why Ma Xiaotao chose Huo Yuhao first.
"Junior, you are really..."
He was about to turn around and praise Huo Yuhao, but his expression froze and he realized something was wrong.
Where is Huo Yuhao?
Wasn't he standing next to me just now?
Gong Yangmo rubbed his eyes vigorously, and even with the help of mental detection in his mind, he could not find any trace of Huo Yuhao.
Gong Yang Mo carefully counted the remaining people on the field.
Myself, Xixi, Ma Xiaotao, Beibei, He Caitou, and Wang Dong.
There are only six people!
Who the hell is Huo Yuhao?
Ma Xiaotao was also stunned: "Yuhao, where have you been?"
Huo Yuhao’s voice rang in the minds of the three inner court disciples.
"Seniors, stop being in a daze, the game has already started."
The three of them didn't have time to think about it, and their martial spirits possessed them and prepared for battle.
Huo Yuhao’s disappearance on the spot caused them to lose consciousness, but the other three reserve players were used to it.
This was Huo Yuhao's second soul skill, simulation. In his opinion, the strategic significance of this soul skill was no less than that of the Detective Radar.
Tian Meng told him that this was the talent of the Ice Silkworm Clan, and was often used to simulate the breath of powerful soul beasts or to pretend to be dead, but Huo Yuhao scoffed at these two uses.
What he was interested in was this bug-like invisibility effect.
He just stood straight on the field, distorting the light around him, as if covered with a layer of extremely real protective color, and disappeared from the field out of thin air.
This is another reason why he had been able to remain at least undefeated in previous competitions within the reserve team.
Because even if we get rid of his two teammates, we can't find out the mastermind behind this!
There are only two ways to see through his simulation. One is to get very close to him, so that you can find something strange in the distorted light, but Huo Yuhao will not stay in the same place forever, so this method is basically ineffective.
The second method is to have particularly keen perception or use other special detection methods to capture the faintest fluctuations in Huo Yuhao's soul power or the sounds of his movements. However, these reserve players have not reached that level yet, and only Elder Xuan can do it.
When he first saw Huo Yuhao disappear out of thin air, the wine sprayed out of his mouth, but after discovering Huo Yuhao's trick, he actually burst into laughter and did not forbid him to continue using it afterwards.
It was quite interesting to see Beibei, Xu Sanshi and the others searching the streets for Huo Yuhao.
Since we can’t see where Huo Yuhao is, there are only two ways to solve it.
First, when his soul power is exhausted, he will naturally not be able to continue the simulation. However, Huo Yuhao has great endurance, so he seems to be able to continue simulating this soul skill that does not consume much energy.
The second is to use a large-scale group soul skill to attack the open space on the field. As long as the entire field is scanned, he will eventually be attacked.
But this is not very realistic... The stadium is too big, and they exhausted their soul power and fell down before they could clean up the entire stadium.
When the reserve team was sparring before, Huo Yuhao did not make any move or say anything, but just kept fighting with the opponent in the dark. In the end, no one could bear it anymore, and then Old Xuan slowly asked Huo Yuhao to end the simulation.
The most infuriating time was when Xu Sanshi was the only one left in his team. He and Huo Yuhao stayed up until the evening. As a result, Old Xuan told him that Huo Yuhao had left long ago. So Xu Sanshi was considered the winner this time, which made Xu Sanshi so angry that he vomited blood.
He Caitou was the only one who had a way to deal with Huo Yuhao’s invisibility. He was able to use the soul guide detector to find Huo Yuhao’s position, so he would always be the first target that Huo Yuhao asked his teammates to eliminate...
When the view returns to the field, the other thirteen people are already on the verge of fighting.
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yaoheng were each possessed by their martial spirits, and the phoenix faced off against the white tiger in close combat.
Both of them were six-ring Soul Emperors. Ma Xiaotao was only slightly ahead in level and did not have a significant advantage, but with the assistance of Huo Yuhao, she was able to suppress Dai Yueheng.
Senior sister Xixi’s martial spirit is the lightning leopard. Her whole body is surrounded by electric light and she turns into a lightning bolt, attacking the enemy’s back row.
The booster behind He Caitou burst into light, and he pulled Beibei to the front line. The gun barrel on his body started shooting as he moved forward.
The task that Huo Yuhao gave him was to deal with the several Soul Kings in the back row who were harassing the other side.
Aiming at different targets and firing at the same time was not easy for He Caitou, but with Huo Yuhao's assistance, this problem was simplified a lot.
Wang Dong and Gong Yang Mo flew into the air at the same time, each spreading a pair of gorgeous wings.
Gong Yangmo's martial soul is the Rainbow Dragon. Although it is a beast martial soul, it has a very powerful auxiliary effect. The soul ring behind him lit up, and Ma Xiaotao and the others had two more circles of red and orange halos on their bodies, helping them to increase their strength and restore their soul power.
As for Dai Yuheng's teammates, they were not stunned either.
Chen Zifeng summoned his martial spirit, the Soul-Chasing Sword, and Yao Haoxuan transformed into a giant more than four meters tall.
Xu Sanshi wanted to protect Jiang Nannan in the front, but Jiang Nannan ignored him and attacked directly. Xiao Xiao was nervously playing the Nine Phoenixes Flute in the back row.
The other thirteen were fighting so enthusiastically that they seemed to have forgotten the existence of one person.
Huo Yuhao put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly around the edge of the arena, as if he was staying out of it.
When the simulation is launched, not only the opponent doesn’t know where he is, but even his teammates don’t know.
Only Mr. Xuan, who was watching the game from the sidelines, could see his position.
But Huo Yuhao did not stand idly by. He had been using mental detection to understand all the battle situations on the field, and at the same time reflected them to Ma Xiaotao and the other six in real time through mental sharing.
Compared with a small team battle involving three people, a large-scale team battle involving seven people became chaotic. The number of details that needed to be considered increased exponentially, and even Huo Yuhao was a little overwhelmed.
He could only give priority to assisting Ma Xiaotao and other key people and grasp the general direction of the battle, but it was inevitable that he would lose sight of one thing while focusing on another.
Although they always had the upper hand, Huo Yuhao's lineup was at a great disadvantage. They had one less Soul King than the opponent and were outnumbered six to seven. If the time was prolonged, it would be disadvantageous to them.
Huo Yuhao decided to take action.
He turned his gaze to the last person in Dai Yuheng's team.
That cold and aloof senior sister——Ling Luochen.
Chapter 118: Ice Emperor
"Humph."
Ling Luochen looked at Ma Xiaotao who was suppressing Dai Yueheng, snorted, and five spirit rings rose behind him. The first spirit ring lit up, and a slender ice crystal staff condensed in his hand.
She pointed her ice staff into the air, and instantly a layer of ice-blue appeared in the sky, filling it with chilly air.
Ling Luochen's martial soul is ice, pure ice element, and her ability is ice control.
The ice staff was waving, and the biting cold air instantly hit Ma Xiaotao.
She and Ma Xiaotao have never gotten along with each other. Although they are both one of the Shrek Seven Devils, their relationship is not good, and it can even be said to be very bad.
Therefore, her first target was Ma Xiaotao.
Ice and fire are incompatible. When encountering her biting cold air, Ma Xiaotao's phoenix flame will be greatly weakened and the consumption of soul power will also increase.
Ling Luochen looked at Ma Xiaotao indifferently, but the next moment, the indifference on her face turned into shock.
She, whose martial soul is ice, actually felt an inexplicable extreme chill.
She hurriedly activated her second soul ring, and put on a pale blue ice crystal armor. She looked around, trying to find the source of the cold that made her shiver.
But there was no one around her.
Ling Luochen's eyes were dazed. She seemed to see a twisted ripple emerging in the space before her eyes, and a faint green light leaked out from the gap between the ripples.
The ice crystal armor shattered, making crisp and fine sounds, and Ling Luochen's soul power began to be consumed at an alarming rate.
Huo Yuhao was standing right in front of her, in full view of everyone yet no one could see him.
Huo Yuhao felt this familiar ice elemental soul power the first time he saw her.
As both were ice elements, if Ling Luochen was the princess of ice and snow, then Huo Yuhao was the emperor of ice. Although Ling Luochen was already a soul king, he still had to show his submission in front of Huo Yuhao.
Now, Huo Yuhao has become the master of the soul power in her body.
Ling Luochen's soul power burst out without reservation, and the extreme cold air quickly spread to the entire assessment area with Huo Yuhao as the center.
The cold wave that didn't distinguish between friend and foe instantly enveloped the remaining twelve students who had not yet decided the winner. Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yaoheng, Chen Zifeng, Beibei, Xu Sanshi...
No matter whether they were regular players or reserve players, they were all frozen in the emerald green icicles.
Ripples appeared in space, and Huo Yuhao's figure appeared in front of Ling Luochen, emitting a similar pressure as that of the Ice Emperor.
Ling Luochen said weakly: "Extreme...Extreme Ice..."
After saying that, she fell to the ground, her body stiff.
