Chapter 166 He's Dai Hao's son?!
The fact that the first match ended so quickly is indeed in line with Shrek Academy's strength.
Fast, accurate, ruthless, and decisive.
But this time, only five reserve players made their move.
This has instilled a sense of invincibility in many teams.
If the reserve players are this strong, wouldn't the starters be even stronger?
Many team members looked at each other, their eyes filled with bitterness and helplessness.
However, they never intended to compete with Shrek Academy; it was just a casual remark.
However, one of these teams is different.
That's Shrek Academy's old rival, the Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire.
Those who have been keeping a close eye on Shrek Academy know some inside information. According to their intelligence, Shrek Academy only has eight people participating this time, and only three of them are regular team members!
Captain Ma Rulong frowned, his eyes flashing with contemplation.
"Even with Shrek Academy's superior teaching standards, Soul Masters and Soul Venerables could never unleash such combat power!"
The arrogance on Xiao Hongchen's face had also diminished considerably at this moment.
He looked at the people on the arena and calmly said, "There should be an amplification from a support-type Soul Master. That five-ring Soul King used a Soul Skill, but we didn't see any effect. He's very likely a support-type Soul Master!"
This judgment was instantly accepted by everyone.
Thinking of this, many members of the team breathed a sigh of relief.
While support-type Soul Masters are important, ultimately, all Soul Masters should strive for strong personal combat abilities.
Those powerful figures standing at the pinnacle of the continent, aren't they all exceptionally strong? Who still needs to engage in team battles every day?
At this moment, the resolute-looking old man spoke.
"He couldn't possibly be a support-type Soul Master!"
These words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Xiao Hongchen immediately turned his head to look at the old man.
His name is Ma Gang, an eight-ring Soul Douluo. He is an elder in Captain Ma Rulong's family and one of the instructors leading the team from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy this time.
Xiao Hongchen asked, "Elder Ma, have you noticed something?"
Ma Gang's gaze fell on the departing figure on the arena, his eyes gleaming.
"You all saw that boy's spirit rings."
"From the first spirit ring onwards, it was absorbed beyond the time limit, and the same is true for each subsequent spirit ring."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"What does this mean? It means that his physical strength and mental power far surpass those of ordinary Soul Masters."
"Otherwise, he simply wouldn't be able to withstand those high-age spirit rings."
"This... is not something a support-type Soul Master can do."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
Although the Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire mainly focuses on soul tools, as the number one academy in the Sun Moon Empire, its research on martial souls is naturally not weak either.
They knew very well that what Ma Gang said was true, and this was indeed not like a simple support-type Soul Master.
Ma Rulong then interjected, "Elder Ma, according to you, this young man is most likely a Soul Master with a Beast Martial Soul."
Beast Martial Souls enhance physical strength; this is no secret, and even ordinary students know it.
Ma Gang nodded.
"That's right."
"His soul skills may have a support effect, but he is definitely not a pure support-type soul master."
"In the upcoming matches, we should pay close attention to him; he can't stay inactive forever."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became much more solemn, and they deeply engraved the name Huo Yuhao in their hearts.
Shrek Academy won their first match as expected.
This one-sided victory left all the viewers thoroughly entertained.
After that, they stayed in the preparation area to watch the upcoming elimination matches.
This is also an opportunity to get a head start on understanding the strength of our opponents, since we'll inevitably have to face these teams in the future.
However, unless two teams of similar strength meet, you won't be able to tell much.
Those matches with a huge disparity in skill often end very quickly, making it impossible to discern the true strength of any team. Many teams are intentionally or unintentionally hiding their true abilities.
After all, a battle between Soul Masters is also a battle of information.
The more information you have about your opponent, the greater your chances of winning.
Nobody wants to reveal all their cards in the first round.
The first day of the competition continued into the evening.
Of the more than one hundred teams, half were eliminated.
The round-robin tournament began on the second day!
Shrek Academy's match yesterday already brought a huge shock to the audience.
Huo Yuhao, the young Soul King, in particular, became the focus of everyone's attention.
Many people are looking forward to seeing him make another appearance and want to witness the true strength of this genius firsthand.
However, today is destined to disappoint everyone.
Because of the round-robin format, Shrek Academy was drawn into the individual battle format.
In the end, Xu Sanshi actually accomplished the incredible feat of defeating seven opponents single-handedly!
Although the strongest of the seven opponents was only a Soul Master, this still demonstrated the formidable combat power of the Shrek Academy students!
……
During the day, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo watched the competition from the city wall.
However, in the evenings, he had to deal with government affairs in his study.
The Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament is important, but the affairs of the Empire cannot be ignored either.
The memorials were piled up like mountains, and he had to personally review and approve each one.
This is the fate of an emperor: while enjoying glory, he must also bear corresponding responsibilities.
The flickering candlelight cast a long shadow of him.
As footsteps approached, Xu Jiawei finished reviewing the memorial in his hand and looked up.
Prime Minister Fan Quan was standing at the table at that moment.
Not many people can enter this place without prior notice, and Fan Quan, a veteran of three dynasties and tutor to two emperors, is one of them.
Before Xu Jiawei could ask, Fan Quan took the initiative to speak, "Your Majesty, the information about that young man has been found out."
As he spoke, he gently placed the organized documents in front of Xu Jiawei.
Xu Jiawei was slightly taken aback, and then he remembered this matter.
Yesterday on the city wall, he did indeed give orders to investigate the boy's background.
"Prime Minister, please have a seat."
He pointed to the chair next to him.
Fan Quan sat down in the chair, watched Xu Jiawei pick up the document, and slowly said, "Your Majesty, this young man's identity is not simple."
Xu Jiawei paused slightly in the hand holding the documents, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
He wanted to see just how extraordinary this young man really was!
He turned to the first page of the document, his gaze falling on the first piece of information written on it.
The next second... Xu Jiawei's eyes widened suddenly!
That face, which had always maintained an imperial majesty, could no longer remain calm!
He abruptly looked up at the Prime Minister Fan Quan sitting beside him, his voice filled with disbelief: "He's Dai Hao's son?!"
At this moment, the first line of the document in his hand read: "Huo Yuhao, third son of Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan."
