"Huo Yuhao, how can you release the Sea God's Light?" This time, Elder Xuan was genuinely shocked.
The Sea God's Light is the signature skill of Tang San, the ancestor of Shrek Academy who ascended to godhood. Only the Pavilion Masters of Sea God Pavilion throughout history have been able to use it. Even with Mu En, the Dragon God Douluo, and his peak Douluo level of cultivation, using the Sea God's Light consumes a vast amount of soul power.
However, Huo Yuhao effortlessly released the Sea God's Light. Could it be that the Sea God has manifested to take this genius into Shrek Academy?
Mu En, who was truly familiar with the Sea God's Light, could see that Huo Yuhao's version lacked the divine aura of the true Sea God's Light and was just an illusion.
Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a mocking smile, and he laughed, "Flame God Eyes Martial Soul, first soul skill, Spiritual Detection Sharing, second soul skill, Simulation."
Du Busi was extremely anxious earlier, fearing that some divine miracle related to the Sea God would manifest on Huo Yuhao, giving Shrek Academy an excuse to keep him.
If Huo Yuhao were just an ordinary genius student, Mu En might have saved face and not turned hostile. But if he were the Sea God's successor, Mu En would fight to the death to keep Huo Yuhao, even if it meant the extinction of the Bright Holy Dragon lineage.
"Very well, dual martial souls, ultimate martial soul, second awakening of the Body martial soul, and self-martial soul fusion skill. Huo Yuhao, you are always full of surprises." Mu En glanced at the unremarkable black ruler on Huo Yuhao's back, feeling a strange sensation from it.
"I hope you achieve what you want in this Soul Dueling Tournament. This will be your last time at Shrek Academy. I hope you continue to fight alongside Shrek and keep the forces of the Sun Moon Empire permanently at bay."
Huo Yuhao just smiled slightly at Mu En's words without saying anything. His attitude made Mu En frown slightly and exchange a glance with Du Busi.
"Alright, Yuhao, you can leave now. I still have some things to discuss with Dragon God Douluo and Xuan Zi," Du Busi said, waving his hand. "I'll come to find you tonight to guide your training progress."
Elder Xuan pouted. This old freak Du Busi doesn't even want to call me Taotie Douluo.
Outside the Soul Dueling Zone, Huo Yuhao found Ning Tian and the other six victors—more accurately, the six survivors of his self-martial soul fusion skill—waiting for him at the entrance.
"Yuhao, are you alright?" Ning Tian hurried over, concerned.
"Haha, I'm fine," Huo Yuhao said with a smile, shaking his head. Then he asked, "How's Wu Feng?"
When Wu Feng was mentioned, Ning Tian's bright eyes dimmed. Wu Feng had chosen to sacrifice herself to help them win the match, unaware that she was missing out on such a valuable opportunity.
The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament is the largest event on the continent, attracting the most attention. For young soul masters, it's the best way to make a name for themselves in the soul master community.
Winning this tournament can secure a place in a major sect or family, and many influential young women watch the event to find a suitable partner. Champions of this tournament become household names across the Douluo Continent, but Wu Feng has missed this chance.
"Don't worry. Although she missed this tournament, I'll make sure her Red Dragon Flame shines on the stage next time," Huo Yuhao comforted Ning Tian, patting her shoulder.
At this moment, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan also approached.
Bei Bei smiled at Huo Yuhao and said, "Yuhao, we need to thank you."
"Thank me?" Huo Yuhao was puzzled.
Thank me for what? Thank me for not turning you to ash with my self-martial soul fusion skill? No way, did you see through that too?
Bei Bei nodded and said, "In that chaotic battle, strength alone doesn't guarantee victory. The four-ringed soul masters were sure to be targeted by others. We won smoothly thanks to you."
Xu Sanshi shivered, recalling the terrifying explosion that ravaged the arena. He said with lingering fear, "Huo Yuhao, not only are you a great cook, but your strength is also outrageous. You nearly took out a dozen classmates with similar or higher cultivation levels, and you almost broke my defenses. Ouch, it hurts so much."
Despite his words, Xu Sanshi was happy because now Feiyangyang could be with his beloved Meiyangyang.
He sneaked a glance at Jiang Nannan nearby, who was looking down at her toes. Getting through the preliminaries with Jiang Nannan gave Xu Sanshi a legitimate reason to be with her.
"Yuhao, we discussed it earlier. Since we're the new generation of Shrek's Seven Devils, we should have a ranking order, just like the original Shrek Seven Devils," Bei Bei said with a smile.
"Shrek Seven Devils? Heh," Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly and walked towards the infirmary.
"Sorry, I won't become one of Shrek's Seven Devils. And this Soul Dueling Tournament should be a swan song."
In the infirmary, He Caitou groaned, his body trembling as he opened his eyes.
His chest felt like it was being slashed by thousands of blades, and his organs felt like they were burning. He Caitou's dark face was pale, showing how severe Huo Yuhao's angry strike had injured him.
The healing soul master had left to treat other injured students, leaving He Caitou alone in the small room.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Xu He, how are you resting?"
