Dai Feng'er, standing nearby, looked at Geheros and said,
"Is she out of her mind?"
"Should we still test her innate soul power?"
Geheros was also a little worried.
This was the protagonist behind the boss; if she went crazy, who would play the protagonist for the boss?
Should he go all the way himself?
It was best if that didn't happen.
"Uh, I don't know."
"But I hope she doesn't go crazy."
Dai Feng'er slapped her forehead and said loudly,
"Go test your innate soul power in front of the crystal ball yourself."
"Don't make us test it for you."
Hearing this, Dai Yue'er's smile faded. She went to the crystal ball, stood on tiptoe, and placed her hand on it.
The crystal ball immediately emitted a dazzling light.
Dai Feng'er nodded slightly and said,
"Good aptitude."
"Full innate soul power."
"It seems your innate soul power level wasn't low before the gender swap."
So much time had passed; these maids had long since figured out the pattern: after drinking from the Mother's Drowned Spring, the body and soul would be reorganized, and aptitude would randomly increase.
The maximum increase in innate soul power is no more than four levels.
Therefore, some lucky individuals can transform from mediocre to geniuses with full soul power, and with proper training, they can become Title Douluo.
These people are extremely loyal to Huo Yuhao.
After awakening his martial soul, Geheros said to Dai Feng'er,
"You will be in charge of teaching her from now on."
"The boss will send someone to take over in half a month."
"Your mission ends here."
Dai Feng'er nodded and said,
"Understood."
After giving his instructions, Geheros left the underground base directly.
As the warden, he couldn't leave Xilu City Prison for an extended period.
If anything went wrong because of his absence, he could atone with his death.
Dai Feng'er looked at Dai Yue'er and said,
"Let me take you to the training ground first to familiarize you with your new martial soul and new body."
"Have you ever practiced body tempering before?
If so, you'll have to start over.
Physical reconstruction will erase all traces of the past, including muscle memory."
"But don't worry, you'll recover quickly after starting over."
"The same goes for cultivation level; the speed of rebuilding will be much faster than you imagine."
"For the next half month, I will train you according to the requirements given by the boss."
"You'd better adjust your mindset during this time, and don't let yourself suffer a qi deviation."
...
Star Luo City, Star Luo Square.
Huo Yuhao sat happily in his seat, looking at the competition arena in front of him, humming the Hakimi song from time to time.
Bai Xiuxiu next to him covered her ears and rolled her eyes, but it was no use.
She simply released her hands and breathed on Huo Yuhao.
"Hey! You big bad guy! Can you stop singing?!"
"Is that music?" "
Even a harp-playing octopus singing underwater sounds better than you!"
"And who invented this kind of music? Why is it everywhere on the magic network?!"
"Did the creator secretly bribe 'Yege'?"
Huo Yuhao's large hand pressed down on Bai Xiuxiu's head, forcing her into her seat.
He said seriously,
"I really need to control you."
"You even dare to breathe on me."
"What's wrong with me singing? I'm happy today, so I hummed a couple of songs, and you start breathing on me."
"Hadas again."
"Also, everyone clearly likes this kind of music, and you, who don't understand art, are commenting on it."
"If you're not happy, keep it to yourself.
You're still working for me, you're my subordinate, and subordinates can't talk back to their superiors! Understand?"
Bai Xiuxiu pouted, waving her arms like propellers, trying to punch Huo Yuhao, but her arms were too short to reach him.
Dai Ying, standing nearby, asked curiously,
"Dad, is something good happening?"
Huo Zhanji also quietly approached, equally curious.
He was now completely in Huo Yuhao's shape; Huo Yuhao had inscribed the reversal spell on him last night.
In just one night, Huo Zhanji had imitated Huo Yuhao by reversing part of his spiritual power, transforming himself into a muscular man.
Yesterday he was a little shorter than Dai Ying, but today he had completely surpassed her, even more powerful than if he had used the power of the Nine Dragons!
And he wasn't worried about developing a pointed head at all.
Dai Ying now had to look up at her younger brother!
She was afraid that if she returned to the original timeline, her parents wouldn't recognize Huo Zhanji.
Huo Yuhao, with his hand resting on Bai Xiuxiu's head, said gleefully,
"Let's turn your uncle in this timeline into your aunt."
"Let her be reborn."
"Next, we'll have your aunt return to your second uncle's side, playing the role of a gentle maid and a domineering master."
"If possible, let's add a tragic love story, preferably with your grandfather involved too."
"Hehehe, just thinking about it is exciting!"
"I'll even turn this into a TV series and show it to the whole continent!"
Huo Yuhao's face twisted into a smile; even the Yu-Gi-Oh! set next door would be impressed.
Dai Ying and Huo Zhanji exchanged a puzzled look.
These words were clearly Douluo characters, but when put together, they suddenly didn't understand.
Huo Zhanji was the first to ask,
"Um, Dad, what does that mean? Uncle becomes aunt?"
Huo Yuhao said gleefully,
"It means exactly what it says."
Huo Zhanji exclaimed in shock:
"A man, a man can turn into a woman?!"
Huo Yuhao ruffled Huo Zhanji's short black hair and said,
"Heh, what's so difficult about that?"
"If you're curious, I'll let you try it later. Don't worry, I can turn you back."
Huo Zhanji hurriedly shook his head and said, "I..."
He was about to speak when Dai Ying covered his mouth.
Dai Ying's black eyes immediately flashed with golden light, and she quickly said,
"He wants it!"
"Dad, please do this!"
"At least let me take a few pictures!
"Dad and Mom must also want to see that look!"
Huo Zhanji struggled frantically, resisting with all his might, but unfortunately, it was impossible for a mere Great Soul Master to contend with a Soul Douluo who was once a god.
Bai Xiuxiu looked at the three of them with disdain.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the contestants entering the arena one by one and hurriedly said to the three people next to her,
"Hey, the competition is about to start, you three stop fooling around."
Dai Ying released Huo Zhanji, returned to her original seat, and prepared to watch the next match.
In fact, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Competition of this era was rather childish.
In their time, it would be like a baby cup.
The competitions of their era were no longer limited to a single plane; all planes under the jurisdiction of the Great Gods would participate, because back then, God-Kings would usually be watching.
If you performed well and caught the eye of a God-King, it would be a meteoric rise.
She didn't participate in the competition back then because she was training with Ah-Dai and didn't have time to participate.
Perhaps Huo Zhanji would have the opportunity to experience this kind of competition.
Huo Zhanji had already taken off his black trench coat, revealing his purple support shirt. Whenever Xia Die took the stage, he would stand up and shout his support slogan.
Near the competition stage, Bai E and the others had already arrived at the rest area.
Teams that entered the round-robin stage were entitled to sit and rest in the rest area.
Shrek Academy's rest area was the largest and even had dedicated maids to serve them; one might mistake it for a noble family on vacation.
"By the way, weren't there only four groups to compete today? How come everyone is here?"
Bai E elbowed Medmos next to him. Medmos
elbowed back and said,
"I don't know."
The round-robin stage was different from the knockout stage; the sixty-seven teams were divided into eight groups, with five groups of eight teams and three groups of nine teams.
There were only four matches a day; the other four groups could rest at the hotel.
Xia, at the front, casually remarked,
"We're here to gather intelligence."
"Mainly targeting you,"
Ling Luochen, following behind, said.
"That's normal; it was the same last year."
"After all, we're the Shrek Academy team; we all want to gather as much intelligence as possible and find a way to counter them."
"You need to be careful; the academies behind us might use targeted tactics."
"All Soul Masters' Soul Skills and Soul Tools are unpredictable; you might fall victim if you're not careful."
"Especially those with the Mental attribute. While Soul Masters with this attribute are generally weak in direct combat, they often achieve unexpected victories."
"In layman's terms, they're very cunning and usually not good people."
"If you encounter one, eliminate them first."
Bai E smiled and elbowed Meddemos again, saying,
"Don't worry, senior, with Meddemos and me together, how could we possibly be a match for you?"
Though he said this, Bai E's eyes were serious.
He silently remembered Ling Luochen's words: if he encountered a Mental attribute Soul Master, eliminate them first.
Soon, the host announced the draw results for the first match in a passionate voice.
"Now, please welcome the Shrek Academy team and the Yunluo Advanced Soul Master Academy team from the Star Luo Empire to the waiting area!"
"At the same time, please invite the captains of both teams to come up to the stage to draw their match format!"
The match format for the round-robin tournament is randomly drawn, including team battles, 2-2-3 matches, and individual battles.
After receiving the information, Bai E straightened his back, his gaze resolute, like a brave warrior heading to battle.
He also had a picture of an Earth Beast painted on his chest, which Na Ke Xia had requested he wear. He had spent the last few days educating the main team and reserve team about Earth Beasts.
Although none of them had ever seen an Earth Beast, Na Ke Xia said they would soon.
After Bai E went on stage, many of the participating team members in the rest area showed surprised looks.
"Wasn't that their captain in the elimination rounds?"
"If someone with that kind of fighting power isn't their captain, how strong must their captain be?"
"I wonder if they'll even play today."
"But Shrek Academy's captain this year is way too young, isn't he?
Probably no more than fifteen years old."
Although everyone thought Bai E was young, they didn't underestimate him.
The previous day's performance by Medmus had already fully demonstrated Shrek Team's strength.
Amidst the discussions in the rest area, near the Di'ao Academy's rest area, a young man hid in the shadows.
The young man had an astonishing number of fingers, his face was covered in black lines, and there were fine cracks beneath his eyes.
It was Su Nuo, whom Huo Yuhao had sent to the Body Sect.
Su Nuo's lips curled up, his eyes widened with excitement, and he muttered to himself:
"Bai E, Medmus."
"It's been a long time."
"I wonder if your strength has improved."
"I really want to chop you two to pieces right now."
"Haha."
