Moreover, he had seen Huo Yuhao's performance in Mingde Hall and Sun Moon Academy over the years, and believed that his love and understanding of soul guides could not be faked.
By using the soul guide to bring the heir of the Northern Family to the Sun-Moon Empire, he believed that in the future, the royal family would definitely appreciate his original decision.
However, just when Jing Hongchen was secretly happy, he suddenly froze and a word flashed through his mind.
Luring the wolf into the house.
Chapter 323 I'll Increase the Intensity of the Competition
The knockout rounds are in full swing.
In the back corner of the player viewing area are the Tang Sect Team and the Dragon Tiger Sect, two lower-tier sect teams.
The teams fighting on the field at the moment are two not-so-famous sect teams, both of which are in the middle and lower levels of strength.
However, precisely because the strength of the participating players is similar and average, the individual elimination rounds alone were very close and the game went back and forth.
However, the Tang Sect members were not in the mood to watch the game. A team of this strength was not worth their time to plan tactics against. The team they were currently focusing on was the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.
Bei Bei, who was always gentle, looked serious at this moment and asked in a deep voice: "Although Meng Hongchen had received some practical tests in Shrek Academy before, he had not shown his true strength."
"Her cultivation should have reached level 65 or above, and she possesses such a powerful cold poison."
"Besides Meng Hongchen, there is also his brother Xiao Hongchen. The Hongchen siblings will be our biggest enemies."
"Let's discuss countermeasures in advance and let everyone have their say."
"If we encounter the Sun and Moon team in the next game, what tactics should we adopt?"
The Tangmen team does not have an academy leader like the Shrek team. The tactical arrangements and commands are entirely handed over to Beibei.
The calm temperament he displayed at this moment was like that of a leader. In comparison, Tang Clan's real leader, Tang Ya, seemed like a mascot.
As soon as the question was asked, everyone in the Tang Sect frowned and fell into deep thought.
Meng Hongchen won the first victory for the Sun and Moon Team with an absolutely crushing attitude and has become their number one enemy.
Her almost untreatable cold poison made everyone feel very difficult to deal with.
He Caitou was the first to speak, and volunteered, "Meng Hongchen's cold poison needs time to spread, and we can use this time to make a quick decision. I am willing to be her opponent in the individual elimination match."
Beibei shook his head: "Caitou, it's not that we don't trust you. But the Sun and Moon Team can strategically give up a few games in the individual elimination stage and drag it to the team battle stage."
"And once it gets to the team battle stage, with the help of others, it will be even more difficult for the Hongchen siblings to deal with it."
Xu Sanshi said carelessly, "We have already reached the team battle stage. What is there to be afraid of? Beibei, you, me, Cai Tou, and Wang Dong, we are a total of four Soul Emperors. We can easily defeat them all. What are you afraid of?"
Bei Bei glared at him and said, "Do you think that our Tang Sect is invincible just because we have four Soul Emperors? There are many powerful sects participating in this competition, including the mysterious and powerful Body Sect."
"We still know almost nothing about those sects. Sanshi, don't be too blindly confident."
Xu Sanshi quickly changed the subject and said, "Let's discuss how to deal with Meng Hongchen. She has the cold poison, but we in the Tang Sect are also experts in playing with poisons, Xiaoya, don't you think so?"
Tang Ya's body paused slightly, and then nodded with a firm look: "Not only that, I have also determined the development direction of the blue silver grass, which is poison. I have chosen soul beasts that are good at poison for the next few soul rings."
“Although it’s certainly not as bad as Meng Hongchen’s cold poison, it’s not that pleasant either.”
When she said this, a trace of loneliness appeared on her face.
Ten thousand years ago, the Tang Clan was famous throughout the continent for its use of poison.
But up to now, most of the ancient books on the use of poison in the Tang Sect's unique skills have been lost over the past ten thousand years, and now there are only a few methods of using poison that have been passed down.
Wang Dong participated in the tactical discussion absent-mindedly. Although he was still sitting there, his big eyes would steal glances in Huo Yuhao's direction from time to time.
Huo Yuhao was playing with his sunglasses in his hand, looking at the scene calmly. He heard the conversation of the Tang Sect members and was not surprised by Tang Ya's choice.
Considering Tang Ya's current soul power which is neither better than the best nor worse than the worst, using poison as the direction of development can be said to be the best solution.
On his left, Bingdi supported his head with his right hand, looking up at the soul guide screen in boredom. This low-level battle became his only entertainment at the moment.
Tian Meng was eating snacks all the time, and his mouth never stopped. Xue Di sat quietly and elegantly on his right.
Another individual elimination match ended. During the interval between substitutions, Bingdi said calmly, "Your roommate, who you don't know if he's a friend or an enemy, has been peeking at you. How do you feel about that?"
Huo Yuhao said with some melancholy: "There is already a sad and thick barrier between us. It's really sad."
Xue Di stared at the Tang Sect members with a deep gaze.
"That sect is the Tang Sect? And the founder is the Sea God Tang San?"
After following Huo Yuhao for several years, she also learned a lot about human history.
Huo Yuhao nodded: "Yes, it has a history of 10,000 years. Unfortunately, it is now on the verge of extinction."
"The real god... the powerful aura that swept across the entire continent ten thousand years ago should be the sea god."
"Even I, who am far away in the Far North, can sense his presence. He has become a god with a human body."
Although she was praising him, there was a cold light in Xue Di's eyes.
"Don't you suspect that the divine consciousness that Yin Lex mentioned about plotting against us in the Haotian Sect might have come from the Sea God Tang San?"
Huo Yuhao pondered and said, “I did suspect this at first, but now I feel that the possibility of it being him is not that high.”
"Oh why?"
Huo Yuhao did not answer directly, but asked Yin Lex in his mind a question first: "Master Yin, what is the rule that you said that gods cannot influence the mortal world?"
Yin Lex responded: "This is a very common rule in many planes."
"The power of the gods is too high. If they exert their power in a lower plane, it will cause anomalies in the current plane and be rejected by the will of the plane."
"In the plane where I lived before, becoming a god meant disappearing between heaven and earth."
Yin Lex's words aroused Xue Di's vigilance: "Can a god perish?"
Yin Laix said: "This is the rule of that world, Yuhao, why are you asking this?"
Huo Yuhao asked again: "Why was that divine consciousness able to ignore this rule in the first place?"
Yin Lex replied: "It is difficult for me to answer you. He is too powerful. I guess he can ignore the rule because he is in some special place."
"Other than that, as long as you stay away from that child, everything will be fine."
"Alas... it's a pity for that child who has a bright aura. Although she has some shortcomings, I believe that her heart is as kind as the light."
After saying that, Yin Lex let out a long sigh.
Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
Why did Yin Lex pause on the word "this piece" when he said the last sentence?
Xue Di changed the subject: "Yuhao, you haven't explained why you think it wasn't the Sea God who plotted against us."
Huo Yuhao paused for a few seconds, glanced in the direction of the Tang Sect, and replied, “Because I think, if it was really him, since he is so powerful, with just a little effort, how could the Tang Sect he founded fall to this state?”
"It is said that Seagod Tang San was born in the Haotian Sect. The Haotian Sect is full of powerful people and is not far from Tiandou City. The Tang Sect is about to be wiped out, but they have no reaction?"
Huo Yuhao was still reasoning. The Two Ice and Snow Emperors followed his train of thought, thought about it and felt that it did make sense, so they nodded in agreement.
"So I guess it's unlikely that the consciousness is from Seagod Tang San. But is there any other god related to the Haotian Sect in history?"
From Huo Yuhao's perspective, based on the known circumstances and logical speculation, it seemed that there was really no reason for Seagod Tang San to ignore the Tang Sect he founded and then plot against him, a completely unrelated person, after ten thousand years.
What is the purpose? What is the motivation?
Just as Huo Yuhao and the others were whispering, the Tang Sect members had somehow finished their tactical arrangements. The seven of them formed a circle, each extending their right hand and putting them together, speaking in unison, with great interest.
"For the glory of the Tang Sect!"
"For the glory of Shrek!"
Huo Yuhao was stunned when he heard this, then turned his head away with a cold look.
"For meaningless glory again." Bingdi muttered with some disdain.
“No, Ice Emperor, I don’t think that striving for glory is meaningless.” Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice, “But there must be a bottom line in the process of striving for glory.”
"I'm curious, if Shrek Academy knew that Ma Xiaotao has become like this now, would it send out an inspection team?"
Bingdi said sarcastically, "Yes, you were willing to lower yourself and help her suppress her evil fire so that she would not become an evil soul master, but in the end you found that she did not appreciate it at all and ended up becoming an evil soul master anyway."
Huo Yuhao’s face suddenly turned dark. He turned his head slightly and fixed his cold gaze on Tang Ya. Only then did his gaze soften a little.
“There will always be failures in investment, but as long as there are some successes, it is more or less worth it.”
The team battles on the stage had all ended at some point, and the referee's voice was transmitted throughout the venue through the loudspeaker soul guide.
"Mingyu Sect wins the ninth match of the preliminary round."
"The tenth match of the preliminary stage knockout round, Dragon Tiger Sect vs. Chongtian Sect, both teams please move to the battle area."
Huo Yuhao chuckled, stood up and walked towards the battle area: "It's our turn."
Tian Meng couldn't wait any longer, and said excitedly, "Great, it's finally starting."
"Yuhao."
At this moment, a familiar voice called Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao’s body froze. The voice came from Wang Dong.
He turned his head and saw Wang Dong waving at him, his beautiful big eyes blinking constantly.
"come on."
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly at her and turned to leave.
Seeing the backs of Huo Yuhao and the others leaving, Wang Dong felt a surge of annoyance and bitterness in his heart.
She didn't know why the reunion with Huo Yuhao that she had been looking forward to for a long time would turn out like this. It was as if an invisible wall had been built up between the two of them without them noticing.
She didn’t think it was a problem of her identity. Huo Yuhao didn’t become so unfamiliar after he knew her true identity.
"Wang Dong, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Xiao noticed her mood change and asked with concern.
"Nothing." Wang Dong said nonchalantly.
But she was still very confused.
The waiting area is just in front of the pergola rest area, with seven chairs placed twenty meters apart.
The seven chairs are prepared for the contestants, and the team leader has to wait until a student comes on stage to compete before there is a seat for them to sit down.
The Dragon Tiger Sect, a little-known third-rate sect, surprised everyone from the preparation stage of the competition.
