The terrifying energy fluctuations gathered again, turning into a beam of light even more terrifying than before, shooting towards Long Aotian.
Long Aotian stood still with his legs, crossed his arms over his chest, with no intention of dodging at all.
Invincible Douluo Zheng Zhan frowned, wanting to end the match between the two as he did before.
At this moment, Long Aotian was completely covered by a layer of jade-like white light. Behind him, a silver-white human-shaped phantom suddenly condensed. It was the second awakening of his silver-level martial soul.
All the young people of the Snow Demon Sect couldn't help but stand up. As Long Aotian's fiancée, Vina looked at the scene with concern.
She knew that as a staunch supporter of the idea that "martial spirit is stronger than soul guides", Long Aotian wanted to express his pride in this way.
The light beam collided with Long Aotian's body protection light, instantly causing a stronger explosion. A large halo spread out around, generating wisps of white smoke.
The smoke cleared, revealing Long Aotian's still standing white jade body.
He seemed to be unharmed, with only a few bloodstains on his face that did not look serious. Even though the stage under his feet was deformed, his feet did not move an inch.
Long Aotian made a "Puh" sound, spat out a small mouthful of bloody phlegm, stared at Ning Tian in the distance, and said indifferently.
"Soul Guidance Device is nothing more than this."
Ning Tian was completely stunned. She had never imagined that there would be such a monster that could easily block her attack with just its body.
Bupo Douluo had already seen the result on the field and ended the game at the right time: "The fourth match of the individual elimination round, the Snow Demon Sect wins."
In the Snow Demon Clan team, Vina was delighted: "I didn't expect Aotian's physique to be so strong."
Simple-minded brawn.
Huo Qiu'er grumbled in her heart, glanced at the field, and said calmly: "It's good. Fortunately, your martial soul is the brain, Vina."
Vina looked confused and didn't understand the connection between the two sentences.
Huo Yuhao had a strange look on his face when he saw the situation on the field. He was the one who knew best the power of Ning Tian’s soul guide.
"Brother Aotian is still so ruthless. He took the level 7 ray head-on and acted like nothing happened. He is the only one of his age."
Long Aotian stood on the field, with a trace of blood still on the corner of his mouth, but his breath was steady and his eyes were contemptuous: "Next."
In the Shrek team, everyone's eyes were filled with despair.
Long Aotian did nothing but stood still, which destroyed all their confidence.
There was no suspense in the subsequent games.
Shrek was defeated, and defeated completely.
The individual elimination round has become Long Aotian's solo stage. Shrek only won one game, and the remaining four soul kings including Wu Feng were no match for Long Aotian at all.
Even if he could avoid being defeated seven-on-one in the individual elimination match and get into a team fight where he could make a comeback, Shrek still had no hope.
Finally, in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators, Shrek Academy, which had a history of winning championships for ten thousand years, fell in the quarterfinals for the first time.
No one had expected this result, and many of Shrek Academy's loyal fans found it difficult to accept this fact.
However, Xu Tianran on the rostrum did not completely relax: "Team Shrek has been defeated, but it is not the time to celebrate in advance. The real strength of Shrek, the Tang Sect Team has not yet made a move."
Jing Hongchen said confidently: "Your Highness, my grandchildren will definitely take the championship away from the Tang Clan."
Xu Tianran nodded, then looked in the direction of the Snow Demon Sect and frowned slightly.
Zhongli Wu smiled sinisterly and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, let me teach you the Body Sect."
Only then did Xu Tianran feel extremely happy in his heart.
"Okay, okay, let's promote the prestige of our Sun Moon nation. Naturally, there will be a generous reward afterwards."
Before anyone could recover from the defeat to Shrek in the upper half, the competition in the lower half began again.
The Ao Jian Sect was no match for the Holy Spirit Team and quickly lost to them. They didn't care about the rest of the game and quickly left the rest area.
This is the last match of the quarterfinals today. The eliminated Shrek players are still staying in the rest area to watch the game, sitting together with the Tang Sect players.
Old Xuan's expression was extremely ugly. In front of him was Ning Tian, who lowered his head and said nothing.
"Ning Tian, do you know that because of your impulsive behavior, the glory of Shrek may be ruined?"
Ning Tian seemed to have figured something out, and mustered up the courage to say, "Master Xuan, I think I did nothing wrong. If you want to punish me, then punish me."
Wu Feng stood beside her and interrupted, "It was me who asked Ning Tian to go on stage. If you want to punish him, punish me as well."
Old Xuan seemed to be choked by something in his throat. He looked at the two people standing in front of him and couldn't curse even if he wanted to.
He took a sip of wine and said, "Beibei, the glory of Shrek depends on you. We cannot lose any of the next three games."
Beibei and the other six nodded in unison: "Yes, Master Xuan."
"Our next opponent is... Yuhao. Where is Yuhao? He is still alone. Where are his teammates?"
Wang Dong looked around and only found Huo Yuhao's figure in the far corner of the rest area.
Elder Xuan had a gloomy face: "Although it may seem like we are bullying the weak with our numbers, we have no choice but to do so. Whether it is for the spirit of the competition or the glory of the academy, we must win the quarterfinals."
Without giving the two teams too much time to prepare, Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan announced: "The last match of the quarterfinals, Dragon Tiger Sect vs. Tang Sect."
The last match of the quarterfinals was the most interesting one. All the audience wanted to see how far the one-man Dragon Tiger Gate could go.
Huo Yuhao landed lightly on the competition stage, waiting for his first opponent.
The first player sent by the Tang Sect was Xiao Xiao. After a long time, he stood on the same field with Huo Yuhao, but they became opponents.
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly and said apologetically: "Squad leader, long time no see. Although we have become rivals, I will not show mercy."
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment when he heard the long-lost title of squad leader. He joked, “Since you still recognize me as your squad leader, I’d be embarrassed if I didn’t show some mercy.”
"Then I'll look forward to your guidance, squad leader." Xiao Xiao chuckled again, and the San Sheng Soul-Suppressing Cauldron coiled around him.
The result was not surprising, Xiaoxiao lost.
The second person sent by the Tang Sect was Jiang Nannan, who tried to attack at close range, but was trapped in an illusion before she could even touch Huo Yuhao's shadow.
"Ahhh - Nannan, just wait and see. I will defeat him right away!"
The third person from the Tang Sect was Xu Sanshi. Seeing Jiang Nannan lose, he went on the field without saying anything, but he was still no match for Huo Yuhao. However, his performance was much better than the first two. At least the illusion had little effect on him as a Soul Emperor, and he also forced out Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice.
Unfortunately, his water attribute made him naturally restrained by Huo Yuhao, and after acting like a coward for a long time, he was beaten down.
Every time an opponent is defeated, the atmosphere among the audience becomes more intense.
"Next." Huo Yuhao said casually while standing on the stage.
Wang Dong pursed his lips, slowly stood up, and said, "Let me do it."
Beibei nodded solemnly.
On the stage.
Seeing that the next person to come on stage was Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but frown. To be honest, he didn't really want to fight her right now.
"Yuhao, how long has it been since we last had a sparring match?" Wang Dong asked.
“About four or five years.” Huo Yuhao answered casually.
"I also want to have a good fight with you face to face, but now, for the glory of Shrek, I have to go all out. Let's talk after the game, Yuhao."
Wang Dong's tone was resolute.
Huo Yuhao let out a dry click of his tongue.
He raised his right hand to cover his face and took a deep breath.
“Glory, glory, glory…” Huo Yuhao murmured softly, his eyes staring through his fingers at Wang Dong’s familiar face and pale blue hair.
His previous life had always been under the watchful eye of the mysterious power behind Wang Dong. And the source of all the pain in his wandering fate seemed to have started with the word "glory".
Seeing Wang Dong say the word "glory" again at this moment, Huo Yuhao felt a long-suppressed negative emotion in his heart that was urgently needed to be released.
Huo Yuhao asked calmly, "Glory, Wang Dong, do you know why you and Shrek Academy value the honor of being the first place in the Soul Master Competition so much?"
"why?"
Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Because your mentality has not been adjusted yet, and your mental illness has not been cured."
"After you win first place, you'll get less. Once Shrek gets used to it, his worries will go away."
"I am also suffering from a mental illness, and it is very serious. It will take a strong medicine to cure it."
Wang Dong was still in a daze when he heard Huo Yuhao suddenly look up and shout, "Chief Judge."
Bupo Douluo was about to announce the start of the match when he was suddenly interrupted. He looked at Huo Yuhao in confusion and asked, "What do you want?"
Huo Yuhao raised his head and spoke very calmly, "I want to apply for a team battle."
"What?" Bupo Douluo was slightly stunned and asked in a lost voice, "Are you sure you want to apply for a team battle directly?"
"Yes, I won three consecutive games in the individual elimination rounds. According to the rules, I have the right to directly enter the team battle." Huo Yuhao responded in a cold voice.
"But you... don't seem to have any teammates?" Invincible Douluo Zheng Zhan confirmed again and again.
"No need, I am enough." Huo Yuhao stared at Zheng Zhan coldly.
Zheng Zhan was silent for a few seconds, then announced loudly: "Longhumen has won three games in a row and applied to enter the team battle directly. The individual elimination round is over, and the team battle stage will begin in five minutes."
Huo Yuhao took one last glance at Wang Dong and jumped off the stage.
It took Wang Dong a while to come back to his senses and he returned to the rest area.
Huo Yuhao did not go to his own rest area, but slowly came to the area where Shrek and the Tang Sect members were.
Before everyone had time to say hello, they saw Elder Xuan walk out with a gloomy face and asked in a cold voice: "Huo Yuhao, what do you mean by this?"
“Master Xuan, I respect you again out of respect for the old and love for the young.” Huo Yuhao’s eyes were filled with coldness, without any reverence. “I just came here to inform you that Shrek is about to lose. Stop clinging to glory and leave Mingdu and return to Shrek City.”
Xuan Lao's already ugly face darkened even more: "Do you really think you can be a match for the Shrek Seven Devils alone?"
"You knew you were going to lose, so you requested a team fight directly, so that we could be accused of bullying the minority with our numbers, and put Shrek Academy in an unjust position?"
The second half of the sentence was so unexpected that Huo Yuhao was caught off guard. He showed a puzzled look on his face, and looked at Xuan Lao with doubts in his eyes, as if he couldn't understand why Xuan Lao could say such a thing.
Just now, Master Xuan was planning to cheat and secretly transfer Ning Tian to the Tang Sect team, and he was too lazy to condemn it. Now Master Xuan can actually change his mind and instead angrily accuse him of trying to put him in an unjust situation.
Among all the senior executives of Shrek, the one who has the most conflicts with Huo Yuhao is Elder Xuan.
A feeling of anger and irritation that he had not felt for a long time rose up in Huo Yuhao's heart.
The old man and the young man were facing each other like this, and no one around dared to speak. Just when Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan wanted to smooth things over, Huo Yuhao spoke up.
"Xuan Lao Biden, that's enough."
