Just as Mujin was explaining to Huo Yuhao and other participants of the new student assessment elimination round about the formidable opponents they would face, teachers from other new student classes were also evaluating Huo Yuhao's team.
Before the battle with Huang Chutian's team, Huo Yuhao's team didn't warrant a detailed analysis from teachers of other classes.
However, Huo Yuhao's sudden eruption of terrifying combat power during the battle against Huang Chutian's team caused a sudden surge in their team's rating.
Single-handedly breaking the fusion technique of martial souls and even defeating a not-so-weak team from the previous elimination round by himself against three opponents, Huo Yuhao appeared like a sharp sword thrusting out from the darkness, looming over all the teams participating in the elimination round.
Nearly all the teachers from the new student classes, except for Zhou Yi, gave the same assessment of Huo Yuhao: Unknown combat strength, not suitable for direct confrontation!
In the pre-match simulation, Xie Huanyue and his teammates also discussed the tactics they should adopt if they encountered Huo Yuhao's team. It was simple: abandon directly attacking Huo Yuhao and instead focus on cutting down Ning Tian, who stood behind him, providing powerful auxiliary support.
So when Xie Huanyue walked towards Huo Yuhao just now, it was merely a feint. His actual target was Ning Tian, who stood behind Huo Yuhao, offering significant support.
"Hmm, this kid is quite cunning, playing tricks to deceive others," Xuanzi mumbled while munching on a chicken leg, nodding in approval.
However, the next moment, he froze in place, even wiping his eyes with his dirty sleeve, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
"Has this chubby kid taken the wrong medicine?"
Down on the field, Xie Huanyue's massive figure had initially started to fall towards Ning Tian, but for some reason, he suddenly changed direction and flew towards Huo Yuhao instead.
A flash of light gleamed in Huo Yuhao's Flame God Eyes martial soul, and he chuckled inwardly.
Xie Huanyue's action was not because he wanted to feint again and ambush Huo Yuhao. Instead, he was influenced by Huo Yuhao's soul skill.
Mental Disturbance: It causes mental disruption to the target, making them mentally unstable and causing their attacks to deviate.
The four soul skills Tian Mengge had passed down to him were all very practical, although the original owner in the source material didn't seem to use the Mental Disturbance skill much.
However, this wasn't surprising. At that time, Huo Yuhao's combat experience was still lacking, unable to accurately seize the opportunity to release Mental Disturbance.
But if he could seize the opportunity to release Mental Disturbance perfectly, it could absolutely change the entire situation.
Just like the current situation with Xie Huanyue, he wanted to escape, but he couldn't.
Meanwhile, on the sidelines, the Luo brothers were on the verge of collapse under the assault of Wu Feng alone.
They were only ordinary Soul Grandmasters, and even if they joined forces, they couldn't withstand Wu Feng, who possessed a top-tier beast martial soul and was further amplified by the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda.
"Second soul skill, Fury of the Dragon!"
As the second soul ring shimmered, the fiery dragon aura enveloping Wu Feng suddenly turned dark red, and her previously half-armored body became even more substantial.
With glowing red eyes, her left hand transformed completely into a dragon claw, fiercely slashing towards the Luo brothers.
The Luo brothers' mantis blades conjured dozens of blade shadows, attempting to block Wu Feng's dragon claw attack.
However, while ideals were abundant, reality was stark. Whether in terms of soul power level or martial soul rank, they were inferior to Wu Feng, and their resistance was futile.
Xie Huanyue, a new student Soul Grandmaster, had been privately rated even higher than Ning Tian in the outer court's assessment at this stage.
However, the Luo brothers were vastly outclassed compared to other participants in the elimination round, significantly lowering their team's overall strength.
Not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates!
Wu Feng's dragon claw sent the Luo brothers flying directly. The invigilator had already entered the arena like a ghost, directly pulling the two out and swiftly exiting the competition area.
The invigilator's intervention meant that the Luo brothers were directly eliminated. Currently, only Xie Huanyue remained in the field.
"Darn it, why am I always the one left alone?"
Xie Huanyue grumbled helplessly. After inexplicably landing next to Huo Yuhao, he had no choice but to start fighting him.
Though his close combat skills were far inferior to Huo Yuhao's, his corpulent body was surprisingly resilient. Huo Yuhao's punches and kicks landed on him, but they were all deflected, unable to inflict any actual harm.
"Pretty boy, had enough? It's my turn now!"
The second soul ring on Xie Huanyue's body suddenly lit up, and his originally short and stout right arm lengthened abruptly, swinging towards Huo Yuhao like a soft whip.
However, Huo Yuhao remained calm and caught Xie HuanYue's right arm, allowing himself to be spun around by Xie Huanyue.
Xie HuanYue exerted force to shake his arm, attempting to throw Huo Yuhao away. But Huo Yuhao firmly grasped Xie HuanYue's sleeve, sticking to his arm like a piece of chewing gum.
Even with his immense strength, having a live person attached to his arm made Xie HuanYue somewhat unable to bear it. If he continued to struggle like this with Huo Yuhao, once his stamina was depleted, he would have no choice but to admit defeat.
The third soul ring on his corpulent body finally lit up, and a purple light instantly illuminated his body, making Xie HuanYue appear like a gigantic purple ball.
With a low growl, a strong purple halo erupted from his body, directly sending Huo Yuhao flying.
However, the next moment, Xie HuanYue's body caught up with Huo Yuhao, descending with terrifying force, attempting to crush him directly.
Under the soul skill, Xie HuanYue's eruption of speed was extremely fast, almost reaching Huo Yuhao in the blink of an eye. At this moment, Wu Feng was too late to come to Huo Yuhao's aid, and she let out a cry of alarm.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was still standing still, Xie HuanYue was also somewhat surprised. But he was very aware of the power of his soul skill, something that a Soul Master of Huo Yuhao's level couldn't withstand.
"Octagonal Collapse!"
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao moved. He twisted his upper body and struck out with his right elbow, carrying all his strength directly at Xie HuanYue's abdomen.
"It's useless. Your attack can't break through the defense of my Skin Pachyderm martial soul." Xie HuanYue's body was momentarily halted by Huo Yuhao's blow, but he still pressed down on Huo Yuhao's body.
"It's over," Xuanzi stood up, seemingly intending to leave.
"You're right. It's indeed difficult for me to break through the defense of your skin. But how would you resist if I were to attack the inside of your body?" Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his head, smiling at Xie HuanYue.
"Octagonal Collapse, Dark Force!"
"Bang!"
A muffled sound came from within Xie HuanYue's body. He looked at Huo Yuhao in disbelief, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
The purple light on his body dispersed, and Xie HuanYue's massive figure collapsed to the ground, directly falling into unconsciousness.
