Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers and opened his arms ostentatiously, as if to embrace all those invisible gazes.
"Having the intuition to see into people's hearts gives you the power to change troubled times."
Team rest area, Sun and Moon team rest area.
Xiao Hongchen stared at Huo Yuhao with a burning gaze.
“Brother, Huo Yuhao seems to be even more unpredictable.” Meng Hongchen shrugged and said helplessly, “I don’t know why grandpa allowed him to leave Sun Moon Academy. I don’t want to meet him in the next competition.”
"Isn't that just perfect?" Xiao Hongchen said with a smile, "Those people are not worthy of being his opponents."
Meng Hongchen complained: "If I meet him in the next game, I will just admit defeat. I don't want to fight him."
After more than two years of exchange study at Shrek Academy, the Hongchen brothers and sisters have both reached the late Soul Emperor stage, and Xiao Hongchen has even reached level 68.
Xiao Hongchen snorted: "You don't need to take action. If I really meet him, I will defeat him personally on the field." His smile was full of confidence.
Above the rostrum, Long Xiaoyao looked at Huo Yuhao from afar and murmured, "Ultimate Ice, the original martial spirit, and the Northern Family, I'm afraid you are the descendant of the Northern Douluo?"
When hearing Zhongli Wu talk about the possibility of a force with Ultimate Douluo powerhouses secretly targeting the Holy Spirit Church, the first reaction of this Dragon Emperor Douluo was actually to feel relieved.
Has someone finally been able to stop the Holy Spirit Church?
So far, the Holy Spirit Church has done too many evil things that are intolerable to heaven, but he himself cannot escape from it.
Long Xiaoyao felt that he owed Ye Xishui too much and swore to her that he would always be by her side.
If the world knew that the famous Dark Holy Dragon would join the Holy Spirit Church for such a reason, they would probably laugh at him.
Outside the crowd watching the fight, Du Bu Si was playing with the ninth-level soul guide he had snatched. He had seized it from another Holy Spirit Church priest after killing him.
Du Bu Si, who had always sneered at soul guides, began to become interested in them at some point.
Beside Du Bu Si, the Titled Douluo whose martial spirit was the right hand, Giant Fist Douluo, said, “Sect Master, Huo Yuhao still hasn’t made a move. In my opinion, he should be using an illusion similar to a spiritual one.”
The Body Sect has always focused on the cultivation of spiritual power. Even the Giant Fist Douluo, who does not have spiritual attributes, guessed eight out of ten.
Du Bu Si nodded approvingly and laughed, "Illusion? What a great illusion! It defeats the enemy without fighting. It's well used."
Giant Fist Douluo: "..."
He remembered that Du Bushi's evaluation of illusion a few days ago seemed to be different.
Du Bu Si looked again at the soul guide he had just snatched in his hand.
This is a ninth-level defensive soul guide device named Cunning Rabbit. Its effect is to automatically generate a single-sided powerful shield when it is subjected to a fatal attack, while releasing a huge thrust to instantly move itself away from the source of danger.
This soul guide does not require a very high soul power limit, even a Soul Emperor or Soul King can use it, but the effect will be greatly reduced.
Because of this cunning rabbit, the Holy Spirit Church priest almost managed to escape from the unexpected hands of Du Bu Si.
Giant Fist Douluo asked in confusion: "Sect Master, have you also been influenced by Qiu'er? When did you become so fascinated by these external objects?"
Du Bu Si snorted and cursed with a smile: "I stole it anyway, even if I can't use it, I can sell it for money. How many gold soul coins can such a ninth-level soul guide be worth in the auction house now?"
He had not expected that these elders and priests of the Holy Spirit Church were equipped with so many advanced soul guides, and thus obtained such a large amount of ill-gotten gains.
If it were in the past, he would definitely smash all these soul guides to pieces with one punch.
After thinking for a while, Giant Fist Douluo replied, "My conservative estimate is that the starting price is at least one million gold soul coins, but it seems that the top auction houses in our three countries have never seen a ninth-level defensive soul guide, so the transaction price must be much higher."
Du Bu Si nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It seems that in just a few days, we have robbed tens of millions of gold soul coins."
Giant Fist Douluo asked again: "Master, are you planning to take it back for auction?"
"Why sell it? Are you short of money?" Du Bu Si glanced at him and said, "I have changed my mind. I didn't expect this soul guide to be quite interesting. It can even block my punch."
Giant Fist Douluo shook his head and said, "Sect Master, you were just careless at that time. If you had used all your strength, how could a mere soul guide be able to resist it?"
Du Bu Si smiled and said, "No need to say more, this soul guide is really a good thing. I have finally come to Mingdu again, and I can't return empty-handed like last time."
Giant Fist Douluo paused after hearing this and said, "Sect Master, do you mean... Mingde Hall?"
Du Bu Si immediately became interested and put away the soul guide in his hand: "Why? Do you want to go to Mingde Hall again?"
Giant Fist Douluo analyzed, "In terms of the level of soul guides, Mingde Hall is the best in the continent. We saw a lot of good things in it last time and have some understanding of the terrain. Moreover, it is during the competition and Jing Hongchen is not staying in Mingde Hall. If you take action, you will definitely gain a lot."
Du Bu Si did not respond, but showed a rare calmness. He said in a deep voice: "After the last attack, Mingde Hall must have taken precautions. We no longer have Mingde Hall's internal support."
"What's more, Long Xiaoyao is now in Mingdu, and there is another Extreme Douluo from the Holy Spirit Church. We must not act rashly."
Giant Fist Douluo asked: "Master, I wonder who the other Ultimate Douluo of the Holy Spirit Sect is?"
Du Bu Si frowned and said, "I can't remember who is left from the same era as Long Xiaoyao and Moon. When the competition is over, if that Extreme Douluo wants to attack you, I will cover your retreat while you take Vina Aotian and the others and evacuate on your own."
Giant Fist Douluo said: "Master, do you still remember the tunnel we dug to attack Mingde Hall?"
Du Bu Si nodded.
Giant Fist Douluo continued, "Initially we dug from the outskirts of Mingdu in the north, down a hundred meters, all the way underground to the direction of Mingde Hall."
"After the attack, the back half of the tunnel collapsed completely. It should have been repaired by the people from Mingde Hall, but the front half was not discovered by the people from Sun and Moon and is still well preserved."
"We have now sent people to extend the tunnel northward. If the Sun-Moon Empire wants to encircle us later, we can leave Mingdu through this tunnel without anyone noticing."
Du Bushi didn't expect that the tunnel he dug a few years ago in order to snatch the 100,000-year soul beast embryo would actually come in handy at this moment. He couldn't help but laugh with relief.
"Haha, good, God is helping me."
The tense knockout rounds are finally over, and a total of 32 teams have entered the second stage of the round-robin tournament.
Shrek, Sun and Moon, Body Sect, Holy Spirit Sect... these powerful teams all entered the round-robin tournament without exception.
The rules of the round-robin tournament are obviously not as straightforward as the previous knockout tournament. All 32 teams will be divided into four groups, with eight teams in each group playing a single round-robin tournament, which means that each team will play one match against the other seven teams in the same group.
In the round-robin tournament, two teams will play four games each day, and the next day, the other two teams will play four games each in the morning and afternoon. The entire round-robin tournament will last about fourteen days. The top two teams in each group will advance to the final stage.
In the finals, eight will advance to four, four will advance to two, and the finals will be held in three rounds to determine the final champion.
Such complicated rules seem to have ulterior motives and are deliberately designed to delay time.
“In the next match, there may be opponents at the Soul Emperor level. Illusions won’t be so useful then. How should I deal with them?” Huo Yuhao thought to himself as he walked into the Youthful Hotel of the Xishui League.
It is already evening, and the underground soul mentor competition will begin at night.
He had a bye in the qualifying round, so he didn't have to participate in this round, but he would need to participate in person from the start of the next round.
He was one of the three contestants selected by Xishui League, along with the two disciples of the third elder Minglei Douluo, Huang Zheng and Mok.
When we walked into the VIP room, we found that everyone from the Xishui League had been waiting for a long time.
They seemed to have no interest in watching the soul guide competition outside and the opening of the odds. They all had serious faces, and a cold atmosphere filled the luxurious VIP room.
“Your Excellency the Holy Son.” Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, the two black-robed disciples of Minglei Douluo saluted respectfully at the same time.
All three of them are level six soul mentors. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be the final candidates sent by Xishui League to participate in the finals.
Those people in society are just tools to serve as denominators and open the market.
Minglei Douluo looked solemn and said, "Sir Saint, you came at the right time. We are discussing important matters."
Huo Yuhao frowned, looked at Feng Ling, and asked calmly, "Deputy Sect Leader, what happened?"
Feng Ling said in a deep voice: "Holy Son, the Holy Church may have encountered an unprecedented enemy."
"Not only did the Eighth Elder die, but we also don't know who killed the two priests in the worship hall."
Huo Yuhao frowned and asked, “Deputy Sect Leader, didn’t the Eighth Elder and his men go to capture the sect team that left Mingdu? How do you know they were killed?”
The second elder, Nangong Wan, explained: "This matter was told to us by the Supreme Leader. She is the only one who can control the life and death of everyone in the sect."
Huo Yuhao was stunned. He was originally wondering why the Holy Spirit Church discovered the reason so quickly, but after Nangong Wan’s reminder, he immediately understood that it must be because the Supreme Leader had planted a restriction on everyone in the church.
"The loss of three Titled Douluo at once is a huge loss to the sect," Feng Ling said coldly.
Chapter 337 The hero is sad about the beauty
Huo Yuhao showed no sign of panic, and didn't seem to care much about the three Title Douluo who died in the Holy Spirit Church. He asked calmly, "How does the Holy Spirit Church plan to deal with this?"
Feng Ling frowned and said, "Now the enemy is in the open, and we are in the dark. Moreover, according to the Supreme Master, the other side may have Extreme Douluo powerhouses. Therefore, do not act rashly."
Huo Yuhao responded softly.
The people of the Holy Spirit Church were not stupid. They would definitely notice the silent death of three Titled Douluo, but he did not expect it to happen so quickly.
At that time, when the Supreme Leader cast a restriction on himself, he broke it himself, but Huo Yuhao was careless for a moment and forgot that there were still restrictions on other people.
The Holy Spirit Church's speculation was pretty much correct. There was an Extreme Douluo expert... so it must have been Du Bu Si who took action.
Du Bu Si’s cultivation had advanced further compared to a few years ago. It seemed that he only needed an opportunity or an epiphany to break through to the Limit Douluo. The Holy Spirit Church’s speculation was so accurate that it was beyond Huo Yuhao’s expectations.
He couldn't help but think that something was wrong.
The number of Extreme Douluo masters in the entire continent can be counted on one hand. The Holy Spirit Cult can even profile the cultivation level of the killer, so it is easy to suspect the Body Sect and Du Bu Si.
Huo Yuhao was thinking about whether he could interfere with the Holy Spirit Church's thinking and make them temporarily divert the mysterious opponent to someone else.
He pretended to think and then asked, "Deputy Leader, who is the Ultimate Douluo? What force can possess an Ultimate Douluo?"
Feng Ling said in a serious tone: "According to the speculation of the Supreme Master, this mysterious force may be called the Beidi Family, and its leader is called Beidi Douluo. Not only has his cultivation reached the limit, but he is also the owner of the Ultimate Ice Martial Spirit. His strength is unfathomable."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
The moment he heard Feng Ling mention the Beidi family, Huo Yuhao was stunned. He had never thought that the Holy Spirit Church would bypass Du Bu Si and directly suspect him.
Is this Supreme Leader so powerful?
Noticing Huo Yuhao's obvious hesitation, Feng Ling asked, "Holy Son, have you heard of this Northern Family?"
Huo Yuhao remained calm. He shook his head and said, “I was wandering around the continent before and never heard any news about the Northern Family.”
Feng Ling continued in a deep voice: "This is also the first time we have heard of this mysterious force. Although we don't know why they want to be the enemy of the Holy Church, we must pay attention to it."
"From now on, until the Supreme Master issues another order, all elders and worshippers must be on high alert."
"The safety of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter is particularly important. Try to travel with the elders."
"It's the competition period now. There are troops patrolling in Mingdu day and night. The Northern Family doesn't seem to want to attract attention. You don't have to worry about being attacked in Mingdu, but you must not go to the outskirts of the city alone."
Feng Ling warned the members of the Holy Spirit Church in a serious tone.
Huo Yuhao pretended to be calm, feeling a little funny in his heart.
It has always been the Holy Spirit Church that hunts others, and now it is their turn to be the prey. Their first reaction is to seek refuge from Mingdu’s army.
The third elder, Minglei Douluo, asked worriedly, "Deputy leader, now that my eighth brother has been killed, who will be responsible for capturing the three kingdoms team alive?"
