Once there is one, there will be two. Once there is one, there will be ten. Once there is ten, there will be a hundred. More and more people are cheering for Huo Yuhao.
"Down with Shrek."
"Shrek, get off the stage! Let him win."
"Shrek is just a milkman."
The sound became louder and louder, and every moment, more and more people joined in, like a wave of human voices.
In extremely dense crowds, the effectiveness of mental suggestion is amplified exponentially.
Now, it is no longer a simple spiritual suggestion, but should be named a spiritual wave.
An ordinary person, simply placed in such an environment, will be infected by the surrounding frenzy, lose himself, and become part of the wave.
Huo Yuhao silently looked towards the rest area, in the direction where Elder Xuan was.
Xuan Laozheng's face was ashen, and the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people clearly entered his ears.
He was over a hundred years old and had participated in more than one or two Youth Soul Master Competitions, but there had never been a single competition in which so many Shrek voices of opposition appeared at the same time.
Even in the Sun-Moon Empire, Shrek has a considerable number of loyal fans. At the competition held in the Sun-Moon Empire 20 years ago, Shrek's popularity was still the highest among all teams.
But now, amid the huge crowd of hundreds of thousands of spectators, not a single voice in support of Shrek could be heard; all of them were supporters of Huo Yuhao.
Old Xuan was a little anxious. He was about to release his pressure but he restrained himself.
Huo Yuhao's method of attacking Shrek was not to belittle Shrek, but to become the greatest justice for kidnapping hundreds of thousands of viewers in Mingdu.
If he released his coercion to force these hundreds of thousands of people to shut up, it would be a huge injustice. Shrek Academy would not have the nerve to bully the minority with its numbers.
He blew his nose and stared at the stage. His voice mixed with strong soul power was smoothly transmitted to Huo Yuhao's ears amid the huge momentum around him.
“Huo Yuhao, standing on the moral high ground, don’t you feel cold?”
"Didn't Shrek do the same thing?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly.
"And my attribute is extreme ice, I am not afraid of the cold."
Chapter 362 Wang Dong's Ultimate Move
Huo Yuhao stood on the competition stage, surrounded by cheers.
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of audiences in Mingdu became his most simple supporters and gave the most sincere cheers.
The vast majority of the audience were civilians with little soul power, not even soul masters, but the combined momentum was so huge that even Master Xuan, a Super Douluo, had to take it seriously.
Although they cannot practice, they inherit the simplest ideas. They only know that evil soul masters are evil, so Huo Yuhao, who bravely fights against evil soul masters, is righteous.
Not to mention that rumors about evil soul masters have been spreading in Mingdu since some time ago, and almost all the audience have people missing around them to varying degrees.
Some people said that an evil soul master appeared in Mingdu and those missing people died at the hands of the evil soul master, but no evidence was found and the authorities could not investigate anything.
For a time, the people of Mingdu were in panic.
They did not know the inside story of Xu Tianran and the Holy Spirit Church, they only knew to follow their simple thoughts and use their shouts to support Huo Yuhao. Although Huo Yuhao and they came from different countries, this simple spirit has transcended national boundaries.
Huo Yuhao's wish is to defeat Shrek with the hopes of his companions? Well, then defeat them. Even if Shrek has won the championship for 10,000 years, what does it matter?
The wave of shouting drowned out everything, and at this moment no voices of Shrek supporters could be heard.
On the rostrum, Xu Tianran couldn't help but frown. This situation was somewhat beyond his expectations.
In order to supplement the high-end spirit masters of the empire, he also endured considerable resistance in cooperating with the Holy Spirit Church. The Sun and Moon court was not his one-man show, and most of the ministers did not express their opposition clearly under his pressure, and they must have had a lot of complaints in their hearts.
Zhongli Wu stared at Huo Yuhao intently, a murderous aura emanating from under his expressionless cloak.
Xu Tianran noticed that something was wrong with him and said, "Master, don't worry. When I establish the Holy Religion as the state religion, there will naturally be no opposition."
The murderous aura on Zhongli Wu disappeared, and he let out a sinister laugh: "Then I would like to thank Your Highness first."
Huo Yuhao listened carefully to his surroundings, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. The momentum of hundreds of thousands of people contained a terrifying power. Whether it was Bupo Douluo or the people of the Tang Sect, no one dared to speak rashly.
Just like a talent show, there will always be a group of contestants with miserable backgrounds. Regardless of their professional abilities, their miserable experiences will always stand out and win the empathy and applause of the audience.
"Yuhao, is this the powerful force that you mentioned that is easily out of control?" In the sea of spirituality, the two emperors of ice and snow could not help but exclaimed in surprise.
Huo Yuhao hummed and said, "I've said before that a person's strength is not only determined by how strong he is, but also by the total amount of strength he can mobilize."
But soon, Bingdi recovered from his surprise and shook his head, saying, "But that's all. Those people are just boastful and can't stand a single blow in front of a truly powerful person."
"To put it simply, it's just a mob."
Huo Yuhao said very frankly: "Yes, it is a mob. But as long as the mob is guided, the power it generates is immeasurable."
There were hundreds of thousands of spectators present, but the vast majority of them were far away, watching themselves through the soul guide screen, far beyond the influence of mental suggestion.
In fact, mental suggestion can only directly affect the few thousand spectators in front.
But it was enough to affect those people. The thousands of people in front automatically became the medium for the spread of emotions, and a strong excitement spread rapidly through them.
The audience outside were simply inspired by the audience in front and unconsciously became Huo Yuhao's supporters. Over and over again, the waves of cheers became higher and higher.
Huo Yuhao said in a serious tone: “This is not just about stirring up the emotions of the people around us, this is a fight for the right to speak.”
However, he did not choose to discredit Shrek in his attempt to seize the moral high ground.
Instead of promoting yourself, you discredit others.
The effect of the latter is probably much better than the former, but Huo Yuhao still left a way out and observed the reactions of the Tang Sect members.
Among all the people in the Tang Clan, the one who was most shocked was the young leader of the Tang Clan, Tang Ya.
She did not participate in the previous competition. This was her first time to take part in a public event with such a large number of people. The constant booing made her a little panicked and at a loss.
Beibei was the calmest, but his expression was also extremely solemn, and he was thinking quickly about how to respond.
Just as the audience's voices were rising rapidly, a deep voice accompanied by a strong pressure exploded in the air.
"Shut up, everyone."
Old Xuan, who could no longer bear it, finally spoke out. In the past ten thousand years, when had Shrek Academy ever suffered such humiliation?
A heavy pressure enveloped the stadium. Hundreds of thousands of spectators felt their hearts tighten and they could not breathe. The cheers that had just been intensifying came to an abrupt end.
Huo Yuhao looked somewhat displeased, and Old Xuan finally stopped him from flapping his arms.
Just like people can be excited and enthusiastic about others, panic can also spread quickly. Most people won't be stupid enough to continue to be the first to speak up when they see others are afraid to speak up.
Mr. Xuan angrily stopped the audience and did not continue speaking. Instead, he looked solemnly behind the podium.
There, there was a being stronger than him emitting a breath. Xuan Lao knew that it was probably Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, so he did not attack. The two peerless masters kept silent tacitly.
Huo Yuhao looked at Tangmen and others again. Now, the right to speak was completely his. Relying on the biggest political correctness on this continent, no matter what he did next, Shrek had to be cautious.
If they really intend to use their numbers to bully the smaller ones in a team fight, and this news spreads across the continent, there will be a lot more fun in the future.
Beibei exhaled lightly, looked up and asked, "Chief Judge Bupo, can I also say a few words?"
Bupo Douluo looked back at the podium for a few seconds, then handed him the amplifying soul guide and nodded, "Okay."
Bei Bei put the loudspeaker soul guide to his lips and said loudly: "Dear audience friends in Mingdu, what Yu Hao just said is right. All the members of our Tangmen team are students of Shrek. I am the vice captain of the Tangmen team, Bei Bei."
At this point, he paused and said, "In this competition, we are not only representing Shrek Academy, but also representing our sect, the Tang Sect."
Tang Ya was stunned for a moment, and looked at Bei Bei with some surprise. This sentence made her feel a different kind of warmth in her heart.
"I also have something to say to you, my friends."
Bei Bei said: "In fact, the opponent standing in front of us now, Huo Yuhao, is a former classmate of all our Tang Sect players. In the last competition five years ago, Junior Brother Yuhao fought side by side with us and eventually won the championship."
"But unfortunately, five years later, we are now fighting for our respective sects and have become rivals."
The audience was in an uproar; they had not expected such a dramatic scene.
Beibei continued, "In fact, when I heard Yuhao talk about their experiences, I was very moved."
"Because before the last competition, we had a similar experience. Many of our seniors were seriously injured in the battle with the evil soul master, and one senior even died heroically."
"I didn't expect that after leaving Shrek Academy, Junior Brother Yuhao still maintained his passion for defending justice and dared to stand up when evil soul masters were causing chaos."
"As the vice-captain of the Tang Sect team, I will never allow our Tang Sect to enter this unfair team battle just to win. But out of competitive spirit, we will not give up directly."
Bei Bei paused again and announced, "Therefore, I have decided that in the next team battle, our Tang Sect team will only send one player to have a fair one-on-one duel with Yu Hao. One match will determine the winner and loser as the final result of the game."
"Please ask Chief Judge Bupo to testify."
After the speech, the whole audience fell into silence.
Huo Yuhao was stunned at first, then he secretly praised Bei Bei in his heart.
With such reaction speed and public relations level, he is at least ranked in the top five among the people he knows.
This choice may not be the optimal solution, but being able to respond in such a short time and regain a certain initiative, Beibei's approach is already quite good.
The silence in the audience did not last long. Sporadic applause gradually broke out. Gradually, the applause became louder and louder and lasted for a long time.
He is handsome and gentle, and acts in a gentlemanly manner. Everyone praises Beibei's decision, except for one person who looked at the field with an unpleasant expression.
That is Master Xuan.
Bei Bei took the initiative to give up the Bei Bei with a very high chance of winning and voluntarily entered into a strong duel with Huo Yuhao, which was tantamount to tying his own hands.
Zhang Lexuan noticed that Master Xuan's face was darkening and advised, "Master Xuan, please believe Beibei."
Mr. Xuan didn't continue talking, he just drank alone.
Beibei showed everyone a confident smile: "Leave it to me now."
He looked at Tang Ya affectionately and helplessly. There were many reasons that prompted him to do this, and Tang Ya was one of them.
Although they were all Shrek students, the team name was still Tangmen Team. One of the tasks of this competition was to make Tangmen famous in the competition.
But if they gain a bad reputation in the competition, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the future development of the Tang Sect.
Today, Beibei has inherited Master Mu's legacy, and his martial soul has been able to awaken into the Holy Dragon of Light. However, he has not shown his true strength in this competition, and his true strength is unfathomable.
"No, Senior Brother, let me do it." Wang Dong stopped him, "The match between Yuhao and I just now is not over yet."
Bei Bei said: "Wang Dong, I have more experience, and..."
"Big Brother, I want to use that move to defeat Yu Hao." Wang Dong said firmly.
When the move was mentioned, everyone in the Tang Sect was stunned for a moment. After a brief moment of shock, Bei Bei no longer insisted and said, "Wang Dong, I'll leave it to you then."
