Douluo: Rebirth Yuhao, they all have evil intentions

"Because the soul master of the Sun and Moon Royal Senior Soul Master Academy voluntarily gave up this game, I declare that Shrek Academy won the first semi-final of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, a team battle."

After getting Xu Jiawei's approval, Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu looked around, and his cold voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"The first game is over. Please leave the players from both sides. Please also ask the participating players from Star Luo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy and Tianhun Di'ao Advanced Soul Master Academy to prepare. The second game will take place in ten minutes."

Hearing that Sun Moon Academy didn't even dare to accept the challenge and chose to give up directly, the faces of the audience present showed dissatisfaction.

"What a joke! I spent a lot of money on tickets today, just to see you admit defeat!?"

"It's just that the captain of the Sun Moon Team is really useless. I don't know how he became the captain."

As the two teams that have often won first and second place in previous competitions, the collision between Shrek and Sun Moon Academy is often the climax of every competition. In particular, the team battle is the most exciting among the three types of competitions. It can be said that The audience has high hopes.

Listening to the discussion coming from all around, Xiao Lixuan's face looked a little livid, but since he had already made a decision, he naturally would not change his mind temporarily because of a little face issue.

After snorting coldly, he took a deep look at Huo Yuhao and walked out of the ring without looking back.

Even because of the cynicism of the audience, the Sun Moon Team was not even interested in watching the second game and simply left the rest area.

After all, they didn't know whether they could pass Shrek. Instead of wasting time on their opponents in the finals, it was better to go back in advance and prepare for tomorrow's singles match.

His eyes were fixed on Xiao Lixuan's back. After a while, Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at Xu Jiujiu, whispered encouragement and then left the competition arena.

How could he not have guessed Xiao Lixuan's little thought of giving up the team battle? Not only that, he also judged some unknown things from Xiao Lixuan's behavior of giving up the team battle but not giving up the solo battle.

Giving up the team fight proved that Xiao Lixuan did not have enough confidence to face their martial soul fusion skills, and his true strength should not have reached the level of a titled Douluo.

Of course, it does not rule out that he did this on purpose to interfere with his judgment, but it is unlikely.

Just like taking objects from high places, you will often think of other ways only when you are too tall to reach them. Judging from Shrek's strength on paper, if Xiao Lixuan really has the strength of a Titled Douluo, he will be completely You can just push it straight away, why do you need to give up the trouble of team battle?

After determining the upper limit, the next step is naturally the lower limit of Xiao Lixuan's strength.

Apart from anything else, without knowing that the hundred-thousand-year-old soul ring came from the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, which was very compatible with Qiu'er herself, normal people would judge Qiu'er to have a soul saint level combat power.

It's not that Qiu'er's Golden Dragon Spirit and Hundred Thousand Years Soul Ring are not strong enough, but because of the skill of Spirit Avatar, the gap between Soul Emperor and Soul Saint is really too big. The latter is completely different from the former. It is a qualitative leap.

Take Ma Xiaotao as an example. Even if she has reached level 69 and her martial soul quality is very close to the ultimate fire, it will be difficult to gain an advantage in a battle with a soul saint who has activated the true form of the martial soul.

It can be seen that, with limited information, everyone's assessment of Qiu'er's strength is already overestimating.

But even facing Qiu'er like this, Xiao Lixuan still showed strong confidence in single combat just now. It can be seen that his strength is at least beyond that of a normal soul saint.

"Let me be the first in the single battle tomorrow."

The ethereal voice brought Huo Yuhao back from his thoughts. He subconsciously raised his head and realized that he had unknowingly returned to the rest area.

Looking at Gu Yuena who took the initiative to fight for the first time, Huo Yuhao couldn't help blinking his eyes and smiling gently.

"Don't worry, I can handle it. If I need your help for something like this, then I'll have to do it all over again."

Just like what he and Qiu'er had communicated before, if Xiao Lixuan's cultivation had reached the Contra level, Huo Yuhao might not be his opponent in a single fight due to the gap in physical strength.

But it is a pity that Huo Yuhao had already sensed Xiao Lixuan's soul power fluctuations through the Eye of Destiny before and found that his cultivation level was almost the same as Ma Xiaotao's, probably between level sixty-eight and sixty-nine.

"Really?" Gu Yuena asked.

"Of course."

Huo Yuhao spread his hands helplessly: "Am I the kind of person who shows off for the sake of face?"

Hearing this, Gu Yuena looked him up and down very cooperatively and gave a straightforward answer.

"picture."

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched slightly after hearing this reply that was as precious as gold. Before he could speak, Gu Yuena moved her buttocks, leaned into his ear and lowered her voice.

"Originally, I was thinking that you would play tomorrow and let you have a good rest tonight. Since you are so confident, you shouldn't mind making tomorrow's game a little more difficult, right?"

Huo Yuhao's body froze, as if he had foreseen what a brutal battle he would experience tonight, his throat rolled slightly.

"...Is it too late for me to say that I have no confidence?"

"Can."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly and said very generously.

"Then just leave half of the time to rest. The other half of the time can be used to practice. Just think of it as sharpening your skills for tomorrow's game."

No, isn't it a bit inappropriate to use the word sharpening one's weapons in battle?

Huo Yuhao cursed in his heart, but he did not bargain again after all. After having experienced this so many times, his heart was already as cold and numb as the knife in the hand of the stallholder who had been killing fish for more than ten years at the market.

The only thing he could do was to maintain his remaining reserve in a symbolic way.

If he really wanted to, could he still refuse to give it...

Just when Huo Yuhao was wondering if he was being too indulgent, the team battle between Xingluo Academy and Di'ao Academy finally began.

Although Team Xingluo is recognized as the soft persimmon among the four teams, because Xu Jiujiu has never appeared in previous games, and she hides her aura very well, the players of Diao Academy are He was quite restrained when he came on the field.

But when the referee ordered everyone to release their martial arts spirits and saw that there were only five rings for a long time, the excitement and pride hidden in their eyes could no longer be suppressed.

"It seems it's over..."

Huo Yuhao sighed softly after witnessing this scene. Judging from the performance of the Star Luo Team in the previous life, the holder of the Star Crown Martial Spirit has been around for a long time. Even if there is a Soul Emperor in Diao Academy, he will definitely not be able to please him. If Going all out may have a different outcome, but when they start to despise their opponents, the outcome is already doomed.

After all, this is only the semi-finals, and there is still a final waiting for them. When they are sure that their strength is better than their opponents, they will definitely have reservations and want to save their real trump card for the next game against Shrek. College or Sun Moon College.

And the direction of the next game was indeed as Huo Yuhao expected. Under the guardianship of the fourth soul skill star that was suddenly released by Xu Jiujiuna, the careless Di'ao Academy encountered the same predicament as Shrek in his previous life.

The battlefield was forcibly divided, and the four soul kings were isolated from the barrier of the Star Guardian. The soul emperor captain and the other two soul kings were beaten in turn by six soul kings who had been blessed for a long time inside the barrier.

Dai Yueheng, who was level 64 in his previous life, could barely withstand this kind of attack. How could the captain of Di'ao Academy, who was only level 62, be able to withstand such an attack?

Of course, the captain who was able to lead the team to this point was not a stupid person. He immediately realized that if he wanted to solve the current situation, he had to solve it first.

However, the idea was good. When Xu Jiujiu took out the Shield of Judgment Control, which could withstand the full blow of the normal Soul Emperor, the captain of Di'ao Academy was completely desperate.

Even if the ruling effect has no effect on his Martial Soul Sky-shattering Ax, the other two abilities of the shield, absorption and rebound, can already make the Di'ao Academy captain drink a pot.

They were already at a huge disadvantage, but now they made another mistake in decision-making, and Diao's last glimmer of hope was completely ruined.

I don't know whether it was because the members of Di'ao Academy looked at her too unscrupulously before, or because they were weakening their opponents for tomorrow's personal battle. Under Long Jiujiu's command, several of her teammates struck particularly hard.

So even though everyone couldn't hear the screams, they could still feel the pain from the distorted expressions of the three people.

The audience was excited when they saw this scene. Originally, this competition was held by the Star Luo Empire. More than 70% of the Star Luo people in the spectator seats accounted for it. Now that these people saw how vigorous their team was, they suddenly became excited. They were all cheering and cheering with their faces flushed, as if they had been given blood.

By the time the Star Guardian effect ends, the captain of Di'ao Academy can hardly see his human form. The situation has reached this point. It stands to reason that Di'ao Academy, which has lost three people, should take the initiative to admit defeat and retain its combat power to deal with the next single player. war.

But when the remaining four soul kings saw how badly their captain was beaten, their aggrieved hearts suddenly burst out. Without saying a word, they rushed forward and received a severe beating. When Tiansha Douluo announced that the game was over, None of them could get off the stage by themselves, they had to rely on several backup players to lift them up.

Although these injuries are completely common for soul masters, it is impossible to recover before tomorrow's individual battle. This also means that Star Luo Academy has already booked a place in the finals before Shrek.

"Let's go too."

Just as Huo Yuhao was leading Shrek and everyone away, a voice stopped him.

"Huo Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao paused and looked back, only to see Xu Jiujiu slowly walking towards him, with a spotless appearance as if she wasn't the one who came on stage just now.

"What's wrong, Your Highness Princess?"

"I'm just saying thank you for what happened today."

Staring into Huo Yuhao's eyes, he reminded him seriously for a long time.

"Team Sun and Moon only gave up the team battle, which proves that they are still somewhat confident in individual battles. Don't be careless. I don't want the opponent in the final to be Team Sun and Moon. It would be too troublesome to fight again."

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess, for reminding me."

Huo Yuhao smiled: "Speaking of what Your Highness means, does it mean that we are facing Shrek in the finals, so you don't have to fight?"

"It's just a reward for today. If we meet Shrek in the finals, we will give up directly. If we meet Sun and Moon..."

Speaking of this, he seemed to think it was a little impossible. He raised the corners of his lips slightly for a long time and continued to add.

"Then just wait for our Xingluo team to help you take revenge."

……the next day.

The four major teams and hundreds of thousands of spectators gathered at the competition venue again.

Unexpectedly, even Diao Academy, which everyone thought would simply abstain, also came here.

Of course, coming back, judging from the bandages on the bodies of several regular players, they should have come simply to watch the game between Shrek and Sun Moon.

After all, everyone already knows how terrifying this Shrek's strength is. Since the Sun Moon Team is not giving up, it is natural to see what they can rely on.

"The second game of the semi-finals is about to begin. This game is an individual battle. Please send players from both sides to play."

As the voice of Tiansha Douluo fell, the audience fell into a daze because of the scene that happened next. Huo Yuhao and Xiao Lixuan stood up at the same time and walked straight towards the ring.

After a brief silence, the audience suddenly burst into cheers that resounded through the sky.

No one expected that the captains of the two teams would choose themselves to be the first to play in such a tacit understanding.

Even before the battle started, everyone could already smell the strong smell of gunpowder permeating the air.

"To be honest, I thought you would give up the personal battle. After all, with the martial soul fusion skill, you should be more confident in the two-two-three battle, or..."

I saw a cold smile on Xiao Lixuan's face, and asked word by word.

"The so-called good luck has gone to your head, making you think you can defeat me?"

"...finished?"

The calm words made the smile on Xiao Lixuan's face stiffen slightly. Huo Yuhao in front of him seemed to ignore him at all. He just gave him an indifferent glance and then turned to look at the Tiansha Douluo beside him. .

"can we start?"

"Okay, please retreat to the designated position and wait for my order."

Tiansha Douluo has a withdrawn personality, and he also dislikes people like Xiao Lixuan who say harsh words before a fight. After explaining the rules, he subconsciously looked at Xiao Lixuan and said coldly.

"Also ask some contestants to speak with their strength instead of with their mouths. Such behavior will not do any good except discrediting their own teams."

Being targeted like this before the fight even started, Xiao Lixuan's face couldn't help but become gloomy again.

"You will soon see how strong I am."

As the two sides came to stand more than 150 meters apart, Tiansha Douluo raised his arms and his voice sounded clearly in their ears.

"ready, go!"

Although his attitude was very arrogant, Xiao Lixuan's movements were not slow at all, and he released his martial spirit immediately.

With two yellow, two purple and two black, six soul rings slowly rose from his feet, and Xiao Lixuan's eyes changed completely.

The original amber-like background disappeared, replaced by a very strange blue, which was different from Huo Yuhao's clear blue. Xiao Lixuan's eyes were like many circles with complicated patterns, starting from the center. The pupils began to spread around, in circles, and the patterns in each circle were different.

Compared with Huo Yuhao's spiritual eye martial soul, which only has his pupils blooming with golden light when activated, Xiao Lixuan's changes make it almost obvious at a glance that his martial soul is about the eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of metal spread from Xiao Lixuan's body like scales. After a burst of metal clang, a set of off-white soul guidance armor covered his whole body.

Its surface seems to have complex patterns outlined by translucent crystal material. With the infusion of soul power, it is filled with a breathtaking blue light.

Not to mention Huo Yuhao, even members of the Sun Moon Team who were Xiao Lixuan's teammates saw their captain wearing soul armor for the first time.

"It turns out that the captain also uses soul guidance armor to fight? Brother Ma, do you know?"

Facing the questions from the players behind him, Ma Rulong never turned his eyes away from the beginning to the end. He just stared at Xiao Lixuan on the court for a moment and explained in a complicated tone.

"This is also the first time I've seen it. When I was at Mingde Hall, he used to rely on soul cannons to fight, and his strength was only slightly stronger than mine."

Speaking of this, he suddenly recalled the previous surveillance of Xiao Lixuan by the two leading teachers, and his eyes became unusually deep at this moment.

"Now it seems that this is probably his true strength."

Hearing this, everyone's faces also showed a touch of complicated expressions, but due to their teammates' identities, they didn't say much after all. Micah, who was also good at Soul Guidance Armor, noticed something was wrong.

"By the way, where is the formation core of his armor?"

Compared to everyone outside the venue, Huo Yuhao felt much more profoundly when he faced Xiao Lixuan. He could naturally see that the metal armor on Xiao Lixuan still belonged to the category of soul armor.

Although from the appearance, this armor is very similar to the exoskeleton soul guide he tailor-made for Jiang Nannan Zhulu, it is actually not the same thing.

To put it simply, the soul guide armor is equivalent to a layer of metal covering the body. The action logic is to force it by injecting soul power, or it can be driven by the power of the body.

For example, when being attacked to dodge, the wearer needs the brain to react first, then use the brain to control the body to dodge, or release the soul power, and then use the body to drive the armor to dodge.

This means that no matter how perfect the formation core design of the soul guidance armor is, it is still inevitable to sacrifice its own flexibility, but the better the soul guidance armor, the less it needs to be sacrificed.

In contrast, the exoskeleton is connected to the formation core by the spirit, and the brain directly controls the armor, which directly saves the step of driving the armor by the body, so that the armor can achieve the same effect as the body.

After all, he is from the Sun and Moon Academy, so Huo Yuhao is not surprised that Xiao Lixuan uses soul guide armor. After all, another member of the Sun and Moon team, Mika, has also used it in his previous life.

But what surprised him was that there was no trace of any formation core on the opponent's soul guide armor, and even the materials of the whole set of armor seemed to be produced from the same metal.

This is very problematic.

You know, the formation core of a soul guide is often the most precious part, not only because it contains higher technology, but also because the material is the best in the whole soul guide.

Without the formation core, it means that the core formation of this soul guide is likely to cover the entire armor. It is not that this method is not good, but it is not worth the loss.

For example, if a soul guide originally used mithril as the core material of the array and fine steel as the shell, if the array is covered on the fine steel, the effect of the entire soul guide will be greatly reduced due to the nature of the material.

Of course, the solution is also very simple, that is, to directly use mithril to create the same soul guide.

But if this is done, the cost of this soul guide will be more than a hundred times higher?

Not only the cost, but also some soul guides have complex functions, and different areas require different rare metals.

For example, some rare metals may have a very high affinity for soul power, but their texture is fragile. Such characteristics make them difficult to use as the shell of ordinary soul guides, let alone to create armor mainly for defense.

It can be said that trying to find a material that can serve as an armor shell and can fully achieve the core effect of the array among these metals with various characteristics is just like Huo Yuhao's desire to find a material for full element amplification. It is simply an impossible task.

Although Huo Yuhao found that Gu Yuena's silver dragon spear had this effect after meeting her later, this thing was not of reference value at all.

On the contrary, the material of Xiao Lixuan's armor gave him a very unfamiliar feeling.

It was similar to Huo Yuhao's jealous origin, forcibly gluing together the characteristics that did not belong to this metal, and then giving it to this metal.

"Looking at you like this, you should have seen the situation of my armor?"

Noticing Huo Yuhao's surprised eyes, Xiao Lixuan showed a smug smile on his face, raised his palm as if showing off, showing off everything about the armor.

However, what responded to him was a dull loud noise. Huo Yuhao stomped his feet heavily, trampled the ground under his feet fiercely, and rushed towards Xiao Lixuan without even opening his martial spirit.

Facing Huo Yuhao rushing towards him, the light circle in Xiao Lixuan's eyes turned slightly, as if he had seen through Huo Yuhao's plan, and raised the corners of his mouth in a mocking manner.

"Simulation tricks like this won't work for me."

As he spoke, his palm quickly touched the storage soul guide device, took out a fiery red soul guide cannon, and raised his hand without hesitation to fire.

Along with the ferocious flames, a ball of light that was also fiery red burst out from the dark barrel, but unexpectedly, Xiao Lixuan's cannon was not fired at Huo Yuhao who was rushing towards him in front of him, but instead seemed to be off target, rushing towards the empty air on Huo Yuhao's right.

...Is it off target?

The Tiansha Douluo on the side frowned slightly. Just as this thought came up in his mind, the next scene made his pupils shrink.

Not long after the cannonball was fired, the space around Huo Yuhao began to distort like a stone falling into a lake, and Huo Yuhao, who was still rushing forward, quickly disappeared into thin air, replaced by a figure that appeared in the direction of the cannonball.

How is this possible?

Let alone Tiansha Douluo, the pupils of the Titled Douluo present shrank after seeing this scene.

You know, even these Titled Douluo didn't see that Huo Yuhao was just an illusion just now, but Xiao Lixuan actually saw through it at a glance?

Huo Yuhao was also a little surprised. You know, his simulated soul skill in this life did not come from the three thousand year old ice silkworm, but from the million year old Tianmeng brother.

Although due to insufficient physical fitness, this soul skill is far from the power of a million years, but it should never be seen through by a soul emperor.

There must be something wrong with his eyes...

Thinking so in his heart, just when the shell was approaching, Huo Yuhao's hand flashed with green light, and the Sword of Life instantly slashed towards the light ball in front of him, directly splitting it in two.

When this scene fell into Xiao Lixuan's eyes, it made his eyes instantly covered with rich greed, and his tone was excited and determined.

"It's really that Soul Carving Knife!"
