Chapter 413: You Are Actually a Soul Sage!
Weina gazed at the empty competition stage, feeling slightly anxious about the upcoming match. After all, Huo Yuhao's performance throughout the tournament had been extraordinary, and most people believed he had the highest chance of winning the championship.
She activated a soundproof soul tool barrier and said, "Aotian, you may be the strongest member of the Snow Demon Sect's team, but you shouldn't go up just yet. We need to carefully analyze our opponent's abilities before you step in to deliver a decisive blow."
"Weina, don't worry! Victory is in the bag."
Long Aotian exuded confidence.
"Many of us in the sect have already obtained soul spirits, significantly improving our strength.
Moreover, our Body Sect possesses the unique ability of Body Martial Soul Second Awakening.
Given these advantages, how could we possibly lose to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy?"
He smirked.
"Of course, if we do end up losing, it would simply mean that we weren't skilled enough.
But I believe that won't happen.
We absolutely won't bring shame to Senior Xiao or the sect."
Above the arena, Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan flew onto the competition stage.
As the chief referee for the tournament, the two teams he despised the most were Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect team.
Because those two teams would do anything to win, they had no bottom line.
Especially that kid named Wang Dong
He had even killed three evil soul masters in a row, all just to create an advantage for his team in the group stage.
Although the audience supported his actions, in Zheng Zhan's eyes, Wang Dong's intentional killings were a direct provocation to the tournament organizers.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhan took a deep breath, his soul power surging as he announced:
"The second semifinal match: Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy vs. Snow Demon Sect. The individual elimination round is about to begin. Both teams, please send up your first contestant."
He paused briefly before adding:
"I must remind everyone killing is strictly prohibited. If I detect that someone is about to be killed, I will intervene immediately."
Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy Battle Area
Huo Yuhao stood up from his seat and walked toward the open area outside the waiting zone.
As the undisputed strongest member of the team, he was ready to eliminate the Snow Demon Sect entirely in the individual elimination round
Sending them home early.
Then, using his alternate identity "Xiao Yan," he planned to negotiate with the Snow Demon Sect about certain matters.
Of course, given that the Body Sect secretly supported "Xiao Yan," he needed to hold back a little
He couldn't cripple or kill any of their contestants. Defeating them was enough.
Soon, Huo Yuhao arrived at the waiting area, activated his flight soul tool, and ascended onto the competition stage.
He stood calmly, waiting for his opponent.
Snow Demon Sect Battle Area
The first contestant was a tall, muscular man named Wang Yan Feng.
He looked at Huo Yuhao with an unshaken expression.
He knew that Huo Yuhao was an exceptionally powerful genius from the Sun Moon Empire.
However, he believed that Huo Yuhao was unaware of the existence of soul spirits.
Soul spirits were a revolutionary advancement for soul masters.
Even though Huo Yuhao was a Soul Emperor, so was he.
While his martial soul and soul tools were at a disadvantage, his soul spirit gave him a crucial edge.
Moreover, he was aware that Huo Yuhao possessed the Body Martial Soul: Spirit Eyes.
But
Did Huo Yuhao know how to perform the Second Awakening of his Body Martial Soul?
The answer was no.
Meanwhile, he had mastered it.
With Body Martial Soul Second Awakening, he could drastically enhance his strength in a short amount of time.
This was his second advantage.
Thinking this, Wang Yan Feng felt more confident in his chances of winning.
Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan looked at both competitors and announced:
"State your names."
The two contestants responded immediately.
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Huo Yuhao."
"Snow Demon Sect, Wang Yan Feng."
After introducing themselves, they stepped back to opposite ends of the stage, putting some distance between them.
Zheng Zhan raised his right hand, then swiftly lowered it, shouting:
"Match, begin!"
Almost instantly
Both contestants activated their martial souls.
Wang Yan Feng pushed off the ground and charged toward Huo Yuhao.
As he moved, six soul rings rose beneath his feet.
His soul ring colors were:
Two Yellow, Two Purple, Two Black.
Meanwhile
Huo Yuhao's soul rings, masked by his simulated soul skill, appeared as a standard configuration:
Two Yellow, Two Purple, Two Black for the first six rings…
But his seventh soul ring was red!
Wang Yan Feng was stunned.
For a moment, he thought he was seeing things.
Huo Yuhao… had seven soul rings?
He was a Soul Sage?!
How was this even possible?!
A Soul Sage and a Soul Emperor were just one rank apart in name, but the difference in actual strength was astronomical.
After all, Soul Sages could use Martial Soul True Body!
But based on his knowledge, Huo Yuhao was still a Soul Emperor just a few days ago.
Although he wasn't sure of Huo Yuhao's exact age, the tournament rules stated that all participants had to be under twenty years old.
A Soul Sage under twenty?!
Even within the Body Sect, only Long Aotian had achieved such a feat.
And more shockingly
Huo Yuhao's seventh soul ring was a 100,000 year soul ring!
Even Long Aotian hadn't achieved that.
Within the Body Sect, only their leader, Du Busi, had a 100,000 year seventh soul ring.
Even Shrek's Elder Xuan, a highly powerful figure, only had a 100,000 year ninth soul ring!
How could he possibly win this fight?
His chances of victory were now almost nonexistent.
However
Since he had already stepped onto the stage, he couldn't back down now.
He had to fight with the Body Sect's pride.
In the VIP seating area, Xu Tianran stood up abruptly, staring intently at Huo Yuhao.
"A Soul Sage under twenty…
And his seventh soul ring is a 100,000 year soul ring?!
Hall Master Hongchen, Huo Yuhao's ability to withstand soul rings is beyond my imagination!"
He nodded in admiration.
"No wonder you believed Huo Yuhao could single handedly eliminate all seven members of the Snow Demon Sect in the individual elimination round.
With this level of power, achieving such a feat is completely reasonable!"
Jing Hongchen chuckled.
"Your Highness, if Huo Yuhao weren't strong enough, why would I have been so confident in him?
He is a one of a kind genius we should have faith in him."
Xu Tianran smiled:
"You're absolutely right, Hall Master Hongchen.
Having a genius like Huo Yuhao is truly a blessing for the Sun Moon Empire!"
Back on the competition stage
Wang Yan Feng continued charging toward Huo Yuhao.
When he was about thirty meters away, he suddenly leaped into the air and punched downward toward the ground.
His arms and fists glowed with a bronze light.
