Chapter 87.1. Crazy for Shrek



Chapter 87.1. Crazy for Shrek

The four shield wielders had resisted with all of their might, yet had only barely managed to block the power of the Frost Dragons Fist. At this point, all of their fighting spirit had been expended. All of them stared, dumbstruck, at the god-like youth before them, as blood dripped from their wounds. Afterwards, they turned to look at their team leader, Shen Ce.

As Huo Yuhao stood there, the red hue gradually fading from his eyes. His teammates left the stage, which caused him to appear as an all-dominating god as he remained on the tournament stage.

This was his second time making an appearance at the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Dueling Tournament. The first time, hed been with Wang Dong. This time however, hed been on his own.

The conclusion of Shrek Academys first tournament matchwhen hed first appearedhad had a sobering effect on all of the the other academies. All of them immediately attempted to investigate Huo Yuhao, who seemed to possess six hundred thousand year soul rings; not only because of the appearance of his inconceivable soul rings, but also because Shrek Academy represented the strongest, most advanced soul masters on the continent.

However, none of the academies, including the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, were able to come up with a satisfactory answer. Right now, Shrek Academy was like a dense cloud of fog to them.

How could a youth who was obviously not yet fifteen years old have become a Soul Emperor? Moreover, how could he posses six hundred thousand year Soul Rings? This was an existence that defied the heavens. Almost everybody realized that it was a diversion; it was just that nobody knew how this diversion was being used.

As such, they were all waiting for Huo Yuhaos next move; the first match had simply been finished too suddenly, but it was impossible for every match to be finished as fast as the first.

Sure enough, this mysterious youth finally made another appearance during Shrek Academys third match. However, he yet again shocked the entire audience.

An Lengyes attack that had been activated using the power of her skull bone had reached around the Soul King level of power. Yet, when he casually destroyed it along with her martial soul projection, all of the audiences doubts immediately turned into astonishment.

Soul Emperor or not, he shouldnt have had such an easy time. However, the key issue was that nobody had been able to tell what soul skill hed used.

Just like how the Thousand Spirits Academy members wanted to describe him as dominating, he had dominated the tournament as soon as hed appeared.

Could it be that he was truly a Spirit Emperor? One with six hundred thousand year Soul Rings? Several academies began to doubt their previous judgements. If this youth had really attained that rank, who would be able to compete against Shrek Academy in this tournament? And what about the next one?

Bei Bei turned his nose up at Shen Ce, who was seated across from him, and said in a low voice, Shall we continue?

Shen Ce looked at his burned-out comrades beside him, then looked at the unconscious An Lengye who was currently lying on the ground. He sighed, then said, We concede.

Huo Yuhao had almost entirely outshone his teammates. As for Shen Ce, even though he had long ago prepared to fight and was standing in front of them, he was able what his situation was clearly. As things stood right now, even if he were to explode out with the power of a soul king, he still wuoldnt be unable to resist He Caitou and his soul tool fort. Nor would he be able to resist Xu Sanshi, whod used the power of a Soul Ancestor to forcefully block the all-out attack of a Soul King and a fire-type Soul Ancestor working together.

As for the Thousand Spirits Academys side, theyd lost the fighting strength of their deputy team leader, An Lengye. Shen Ce himself had nearly expended himself well. Even if that mysterious youth didnt make a move, theyd still lost all chance of victory. It was completely pointless to fight anymore.

Shrek Academy wins!

The seven members of Shrek Academy team stood in a line when they heard the referees announcement. After giving a slight bow to their opponents, they walked off the stage one after another. Once Huo Yuhao had stepped off the stage, he pressed his palm to An Lengye. The air twisted slightly, then she gave a gloomy groan as she regained consciousness. However, when she saw Huo Yuhao, her eyes filled with fear.

Shen Ce hurriedly moved forwards to help An Lengye stand up. Lengye, are you alright?

How terrifying, how very terrifying. That was definitely a real hundred thousand year Soul Ring, I swear it. Ive felt that terrifying ice-type pressure somewhere before.

What? Shen Ce was gobsmacked. As he helped her up, he whispered, Are you sure?

An Lengye, face was devoid of color as she nodded. She said, When I was sixteen, I went with Grandfather to the Extreme North in order to find a suitable third Soul Ring. However, we accidentally went too far, and in the distance, we suddenly saw a dark green silhouette flash by. The speed of that silhouette was terrifyingly fast, and Grandfathers only reaction at the time was to push me to the ground and protect my body with his own. A full fifteen minutes passed before Grandfather slowly stood back up. It was only then that I realised that a layer of frostbite had formed on a portion of Grandfathers back.

At that time, Grandfather told me that wed met one of the most terrifying existences in the Extreme North. That was definitely a hundred thousand year soul beast. After that, Grandfather grabbed me and we swiftly left the region. When we got back, it took him over a year for him to recover from the frostbite hed received. Ever since then, Grandfather has never mentioned anything about taking me to the Extreme North to hunt for Soul Beasts.

Even though several years have already passed, Ill never forget that soul beasts aura; its the same one that that youths Frost Bear gave off. Back then, once Id returned with Grandfather, he said to me that the reason we were able to return alive wasnt because that hundred thousand year Soul Beast hadnt noticed us, but rather because we were too weak, and that it didnt care to bother with us. Were lucky to be alive.

Shen Ce inhaled a breath of cold air, then turned to gaze at Huo Yuhaos back, who was currently walking away from the waiting area. Without a hint of discontentment on his face, he said, Come on, lets go. We can talk about this once we get back. Shrek Academy is indeed an existence that we cant even dream of beating! I really regret not having attended Shrek Academys entrance exams back in the day.

He didnt harbor even an inkling of doubt towards what An Lengye had said, as not only was she his girlfriend, but also because she was usually quite quiet and reserved. This was the first time hed seen her say so much in one go. From this, it was obvious that that mysterious youth from Shrek Academy had given her a great shock.

However, unbeknownst to them, everybody at Shrek Academy was breathing a sigh of relief.

Based on overall strength, Shrek Academys current Seven Monsters werent actually stronger than the Thousand Spirits Academys team. Of Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao, two had two Soul Rings, while only one of them had three. They were useless in team battles at such a level, thus the reason that Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong hadnt acted wasnt because they hadnt wanted to, but rather because they wouldnt have had much of an effect even if theyd to act. It was better for them to act as a deterrent at the rear.

If one were to observe them closely, they would notice that when Huo Yuhao and Xu Sanshi had swapped places with Xu Sanshis Mysterious Underworld Displacement. When theyd done so, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao had both quietly withdrawn their six Soul Rings. At that moment, Huo Yuhao had been extremely worried, as the spear hurtling towards him had the potential to be fatal. Furthermore, since he appeared to have six hundred thousand year Soul Rings, even the referee wouldnt step in to save him. It could be said that Xu Sanshi had saved his life. Even if hed somehow still been able to avoid it on his own, Huo Yuhao wouldve been equally stressed.

Going back to the beginning of the match, if it hadnt been for He Caitou exploiting the Thousand Spirits Academys passive fighting style in order to rapidly construct a soul tool fort and break the enemys defense in one go, as well as directly suppress their strongest opponentShen Ce, as well as Huo Yuhaos possession of the Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Shock, then it wouldve indeed been difficult to determine who the victor wouldve been.

All four of the shield wielders independent defensive ability were even weaker than that of Xu Sanshi. However, when they worked together, even Xu Sanshi, as talented as he was, couldnt compare. But in this match, Shrek Academy hadnt won through sheer force alone. Theyd won through superior tactics, as well as because of their superior focusing of their abilities.

In the end, Huo Yuhao had replaced his teammates at the front, and his suppression of An Lengyes ice attribute had sealed the deal. If An Lengye hadnt been an ice-type Soul Master, then it was likely that the match wouldve continued. Even if they woulde still won, it wouldnt have been as Huo Yuhao had made it seem.

As such, it could be said that Shrek Academy had yet again achieved a lucky victory. Not only had they win, but theyd maintained their previous degree of mysteriousness, as theyd kept each of their true strengths, a secret, and a major advantage in upcoming matches. However, Wang Yan was beginning to worry that Thousand Spirits Academy wasnt the strongest opponent in the round-robin tournament. How long would their luck hold out?

Like the previous two matches, the members of Shrek Academy didnt linger; they left almost immediately. Huo Yuhao calmly walked into the center. No matter how loudly the audience cheered, no matter how intently they stared at him, he showed no signs of responding. Thanks to todays match, his mysteriousness would cause any opponent facing him to be terrified.

However, Huo Yuhao wasnt feeling excited, but rather quite worried. Prior to todays match, Wang Yan had warned them that their next opponent would be the strongest one theyd face in the tournament. On that team, there were a total of three five Soul Kings who had entered the top eight in the previous tournament.
