章 48: Chapter 48: The Gambler Must Die!
Just when everyone thought the outcome of the match was decided, a dazzling array of colorful lights suddenly merged into Huo Yuhao's body, instantly dispelling his dizziness.
A hint of a smile flickered in Huo Yuhao's eyes. He had instructed Wu Feng and Ning Tian to conceal their soul skills, waiting for this moment.
He had deliberately let himself be stunned by Xiao Xiao's soul skill to catch them off guard.
And now, with Ning Tian helping him recover from the dizziness, there was less than five meters between him and Xiao Xiao.
Wang Dong suddenly found himself in a dilemma. Originally, she should have taken this opportunity to eliminate Ning Tian, but she didn't know if Xiao Xiao could hold out against Huo Yuhao.
And if Xiao Xiao were ultimately eliminated, she didn't have the confidence to defeat Huo Yuhao in a one-on-one battle.
With a slight grit of her teeth, Wang Dong chose to support Xiao Xiao. Her wings fluttered rapidly as she flew to Xiao Xiao's side, wielding her wing-blades to forcefully drive back Huo Yuhao's advancing figure.
"Xiao Xiao, I have a move that will guarantee victory as long as it's executed. But you need to hold off Huo Yuhao for fifteen seconds. Can you do it?" Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao's retreating figure and said in a low voice.
"I can!" Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously. The Three Lives Soul Suppression Cauldron suddenly converged around her body, with the three cauldrons forming a defensive formation with Wang Dong.
Seeing this, Wang Dong calmly closed her eyes. A yellow and a purple soul ring simultaneously lit up on her body, and a circle of golden halo emerged from her brilliant blue wings. With both arms raised, she pressed them against her front wings.
A hint of mockery flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he charged forward again, instantly closing in on Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong, who were less than five meters away.
"National treasure, tremble of the cauldron!"
The three large cauldrons around Xiao Xiao suddenly emitted dazzling dark light, converging towards the center and colliding with each other. Instead of attacking Huo Yuhao, they collided with themselves, while the two additional soul rings attached to the Three Lives Soul Suppression Cauldron also lit up.
The merging of the three cauldrons resulted in a violent roar, and a giant cauldron twice the size of any previous one emerged into the sky. Strange runes faintly appeared on this giant cauldron, exuding an indescribable majesty that erupted with a thunderous sound.
"Hmm, interesting. Two soul skills combined, the power is no less than a typical martial soul fusion skill." Xuanzi chuckled as he gnawed on a chicken leg, looking at Huo Yuhao on the opposite side. "This kid is going to suffer this time."
However, before he could finish his words, Xuanzi's gaze suddenly froze, and the chicken leg in his hand dropped to the ground with a thud.
Xiao Xiao, controlling the Three Lives Soul Suppression Cauldron, unexpectedly directed it towards herself and Wang Dong.
Wang Dong, who was in the midst of channeling her skill, suddenly felt an unusual suction force and was startled. But when she opened her eyes and looked up at the sky, all she saw were the three cauldron legs descending towards her head.
"Xiao Xiao, what are you doing?!"
A hint of confusion flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes. After lifting her head, she saw the Three Lives Soul Suppression Cauldron above her emit a scream.
She remembered clearly that she had targeted Huo Yuhao's body just now. Why did the Three Lives Soul Suppression Cauldron turn around and press down on her?
The answer was obvious—it was still Huo Yuhao's first soul skill, mental interference.
Unlike in online games where teammates can damage each other, battles between soul masters don't allow for friendly fire. However, the black light released by the Three Lives Soul Suppression Cauldron had the ability to evaporate soul power, forcibly interrupting Wang Dong's skill channeling.
At this moment, two beams of light suddenly shot out from Huo Yuhao's eyes, causing both Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, whose minds were in chaos, to feel as if their brains had been brutally struck by a giant hammer. Their vision went blank, and their bodies collapsed to the ground, blood trickling from their noses and mouths like small snakes.
The referee immediately covered his eyes, revealing a pained expression.
"Holy cow, not again! Are you here to participate in the freshman assessment or to assassinate the elites of Shrek Academy? I haven't been the referee since the semifinals started. Please, can we have someone else in charge?"
A gust of wind sounded, and suddenly, another person appeared next to Huo Yuhao, who turned out to be Xuanzi.
"Your, the awakening of your primary martial soul for the second time?" Elder Xuan said with some confusion. "What ability did you just use? Was it your soul skill?"
"No, it's just some simple applications of spiritual power that I've researched myself," Huo Yuhao shook his head and said with a smile.
Naturally, he recognized Xuanzi, despite his appearance resembling a beggar, as there wouldn't be anyone else like him in Shrek Academy.
"This is a conspiracy! This is a conspiracy!" Suddenly, Zhou Yi approached the referee from a distance, roaring loudly. "Our students have been attacked by their own teammates. There's definitely a conspiracy here, and I'm going to report it!"
With that, Zhou Yi pointed a finger at Huo Yuhao. "It's him, he must have bribed the students in our class, or else such a thing wouldn't have happened. Cheating in the freshman assessment at Shrek Academy, he should be expelled!"
"Bullshit!" Huo Yuhao said nonchalantly.
"What did you say?!" Instead of getting angry, Zhou Yi became excited upon hearing this. "Did you all hear that? As a student, he dared to insult a teacher. Expel him, he must be expelled!"
"I said, bullshit!" Huo Yuhao shrugged and turned to leave. "I didn't expect someone would actually like hearing that phrase. I've never heard of such a demand in my life."
"You come back here!" Zhou Yi roared. "What, you want to run away? Unless you explain this matter clearly, you won't be allowed to leave!"
"Zhou Yi, haven't you heard of the rule of accepting defeat gracefully? How come, when your class's students lose, it's automatically considered cheating by us? Can't you keep your word, or do you want to go back on your promise?" On the other side, Mu Jin walked over with disdain, looking at Zhou Yi.
As she passed by Huo Yuhao, she patted his shoulder satisfactorily and said with a smile, "Yuhao, well done. This time, our famous Teacher Zhou has fallen into your hands. She must be prepared to leave Shrek Academy now."
"Oh?"
Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised this time. When he just enrolled, Zhou Yi had once challenged Mu Jin with the topic of weighted running, resulting in a second battle between them. In that battle, Zhou Yi lost to Mu Jin and had to hand over a secret soul bone to her, which he accepted with a smile.
However, he didn't expect Zhou Yi to have a forgetful personality and actually engage in a second battle with Mu Jin during the freshman assessment.
The gambler must die, meow!
"No, I won't leave Shrek Academy. My teaching level is the highest in the outer court, and the proportion of students entering the inner court is far higher than that of other teachers. If I leave, the academy will suffer huge losses. I can't leave!" Zhou Yi's eyes shifted, and she quickly said loudly.
She cast her gaze towards Xuanzi on the side, hoping to have him speak up for her.
After all, Xuanzi was the future Lord of the Sea God Pavilion, the strongest person in Shrek Academy on the surface. With him as a mediator, Mu Jin couldn't say anything to make her fulfill her promise.
"I say, Mu Jin, why don't we just" Xuanzi spoke up, trying to persuade Mu Jin to let it go.
However, at this moment, Huo Yuhao's voice sounded beside him, with a smile that seemed like a smile.
"Teaching level the highest in the outer court? Zhou Yi, are you kidding me? You're really good at joking. That's hilarious!"
