Chapter 136 Completely Devastated
Yan Shaozhe looked at the seven people who were left on the field, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Nannan, Ning Tian, Cui Yajie, Wu Feng, Wang Dong'er, Zhu Lu and Xiao Xiao, and he already understood.
He already knew perfectly well why Gu Yuena had previously proposed using a free-for-all format for the selection.
In the end, aren't all those who remain the girls who were close to Huo Yuhao?
He couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself that the younger generation was truly pushing the older generation aside, and he, as the older generation, had been completely swept away by the tide.
How did I manage to completely fail in matters of the heart back then?
However, although Huo Yuhao had his own little schemes, there was no doubt that the strength these seven girls had shown on the field had already given him a big surprise.
The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, which has reappeared after ten thousand years, undoubtedly possesses amplification capabilities; the Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul, comparable to the bloodline of the divine beast Xuanwu, has demonstrated astonishing control.
Xiao Xiao, who possesses the Dark Gold Terror Claw Soul Bone, has an astonishing burst of attack power; there is also Wu Feng, whose Martial Soul is close to the ultimate fire, and Wang Dong'er, whose twin Martial Souls he already knew about.
Even the humanoid soul tools used by Zhu Lu and Jiang Nannan have a comprehensive boost to their combat power.
As the dean of the Martial Soul Department, Yan Shaozhe was naturally already aware of Jiang Nannan's amazing performance in the academy's internal assessment after she equipped herself with that humanoid soul tool.
Their overall strength is comparable to that of those who possess top-tier martial souls.
It's easy to imagine how valuable this humanoid soul tool is.
Unfortunately, after asking Xian Lin'er, he learned that this set of soul tools was completely custom-made for them by Huo Yuhao, and even Xian Lin'er didn't know how to make it. You can imagine his astonishment.
Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly.
The inner court has always had a problem of female dominance over males, and now this reserve team is entirely composed of women.
In addition, with Beibei being eliminated, I still need to discuss the next steps with the teacher, which is a bit of a dilemma.
However, these are things to consider later.
Yan Shaozhe's gaze returned to the eliminated trainees, and he said, "Do you have any questions? If not, then go back with your teachers."
The trainees looked at each other, speechless.
Those second-year core disciples who were eliminated early are in a better position, but students from other grades still have a lingering sense of fear on their faces.
It's easy to imagine the psychological impact of Cui Yajie's wide-ranging allure on them.
After seeing the other students and teachers leave the Soul Fighting Zone one after another, Yan Shaozhe turned to look at Gu Yuena and said.
"Alright, Ms. Gu Yuena, their training will now be entirely in your hands."
Before Gu Yuena could refute him, Yan Shaozhe's figure disappeared from the Soul Fighting Zone.
As the dean of the Martial Soul Department, he is very busy every day.
If Gu Yuena hadn't suddenly suggested using a free-for-all format to select reserve players, he wouldn't have come over today to oversee the process.
As for what happened next, it was very simple.
Rather, it would be more accurate to say that Huo Yuhao was often in charge of their team training in the past.
As for the Silver Dragon King, he naturally wouldn't think about fulfilling any teacher's responsibilities.
Aside from the daily picnic and barbecue after training, when I could see her on time, she was either catching up on sleep or on her way to meet up with her boyfriend.
For nearly half a month, Huo Yuhao had a very fulfilling time every day.
In the afternoon, I helped Wang Dong'er and others with their training and practice. In the evening, I either helped Sister Xiao Tao suppress the evil fire in her body or helped Sister Luo Chen improve the quality of her martial soul.
Half a month passed in this way.
When Huo Yuhao arrived at the Soul Battle Zone, in addition to Ning Tian and others who had already arrived, there was another group of people standing on the field.
Leading the group was none other than the long-absent senior sister, Zhang Lexuan, followed by seven figures dressed in blood-red inner court attire.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao arrive, Ma Xiaotao, who had specially styled her long hair into a ponytail today, had her phoenix eyes light up.
She knew exactly what she was supposed to do today, and without any hesitation, she waved and called out, "Yuhao, come here quickly."
Ling Luochen, who was separated from Ma Xiaotao by Xixi, felt an inexplicable anger surge within him upon seeing this scene.
Is Ma Xiaotao, in broad daylight, under the clear sky, right under everyone's noses, so eager to show everyone how close she and Yuhao are?
She truly is a wicked woman born evil, but I am completely different from her.
Just like how they've all tacitly agreed not to ask what they might do on those nights when they have Huo Yuhao all to themselves.
But when Ling Luochen saw Ma Xiaotao's undisguised and direct gaze filled with desire, he couldn't help but clench his fist.
That wretched Ma Xiaotao! When she's alone with Yuhao, she must be tormenting him in a very rough way.
Unlike me, who only feels sorry for my good younger brother.
Huo Yuhao felt Ma Xiaotao's burning gaze and Ling Luochen's increasingly cold aura, and his expression stiffened slightly.
Sandwiched between Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, Xixi, who was originally barely noticeable, showed an expression of extreme fear.
Her petite body trembled uncontrollably, clearly terrified by the starkly different auras of the two people beside her.
The other inner court disciples also began to scrutinize Huo Yuhao.
For an outer court student to directly replace an inner court student as a regular member of the team is absolutely unprecedented in the history of Shrek Academy.
Not to mention, after inquiring privately, they also learned that this junior from the outer academy was only a Soul Venerable.
Although reaching the Soul Venerable level at his age certainly puts him among the ranks of geniuses.
The problem is that, as students of the inner academy, which one of them doesn't have a cultivation level starting from Soul King?
Moreover, according to the academy's arrangements, the next step is to compete again for the position of official team member.
A Soul Master fighting a Soul King, or even a Soul Emperor?
If they were to lose, they would drink Poseidon Lake clean on the spot.
Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan, in particular, had already learned a lot about this junior from Dai Yueheng and were aware of the conflict between them.
Compared to Huo Yuhao, who was a complete stranger and even tried to take their spot as a regular team member.
Before Ma Xiaotao returned to the main team and replaced Dai Yueheng as captain, Dai Yueheng, who had trained with them for a long time and had developed a deep friendship with them, was clearly more likely to gain their trust.
As for Dai Yueheng himself, his expression was somewhat somber at this moment.
He felt that his previous assessment of Huo Yuhao's talent might have been somewhat underestimated.
If the other party's current cultivation level is enough, it would be enough for the academy to make the decision to let him replace the regular team members.
Given time, and considering the other party's hatred for the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, will my father really be able to suppress them?
Compared to the complicated thoughts of Dai Yueheng and the other two, Gongyang Mo's thoughts were much simpler.
As the only support-type Soul Master in the main team, the possibility of him being replaced is extremely low.
Not to mention this new junior, whose looks are exactly what he likes.
If it weren't for the way Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen were so possessive of their food, he probably would have already gone up to ask this junior for his contact information.
With his superhuman mental strength, coupled with the aid of mental detection, Huo Yuhao was naturally able to clearly sense the subtle hostility from those inner court students towards him.
After taking in everyone's expressions, Zhang Lexuan's gaze also turned serious.
Knowing Huo Yuhao's true strength, she wasn't worried about the outcome of the upcoming match.
But what she was worried about was whether the competition would cause discord among the other members and affect the team's cohesion.
If possible, as the senior disciple of the inner courtyard, she would naturally try her best to prevent such a thing from happening.
As her thoughts raced, Zhang Lexuan stepped forward and said gently, "Since everyone is here, let's start by introducing ourselves."
First of all, I'm one of the team leaders for this Soul Master Competition, along with Teacher Gu Yuena. The junior students from the outer academy might not be very familiar with me yet, but if you'd like, you can call me Senior Sister, just like your seniors do.
As she spoke, Zhang Lexuan's face softened with a gentle smile, making her appear very approachable.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan and the others' expressions became somewhat strange.
Zhang Lexuan may not really know them, but they do know this senior sister to some extent.
In Wu Ming's words, this senior sister, who was used to treating people gently, never thought that one day she would need to rely on others.
Simply put, he's still a bit stubborn.
Just as Zhang Lexuan gestured for the inner court students to step forward and introduce themselves, Dai Yueheng suddenly stepped forward, looked directly at Huo Yuhao, and wore an extremely sincere smile.
"Senior Sister, since the academy has decided to have this Junior Brother Huo Yuhao directly replace one of us in the regular team, they must have absolute confidence in his abilities. As a member of the regular team, may I ask Junior Brother Huo for a few pointers?"
Dai Yueheng stepped forward so rashly because he had already discussed it with Chen Zifeng and the others.
Regardless of whether he wins or loses, this fight is a sure-fire way for him to make money.
Winning would dampen Huo Yuhao's arrogance and lower his standing in the eyes of the academy's higher-ups, which would benefit the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. This would be a victory.
Losing means that Huo Yuhao's talent has indeed reached a terrifying level, and it also allows his father to make plans in advance, which is also a victory.
Regardless of the outcome, he would not lose his position as a regular player. On the contrary, because he stood up for Chen Zifeng and others to test Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao would owe him a favor, which would be another victory.
"Dai Yueheng, what do you want to do?" Ma Xiaotao's face immediately darkened, and a scorching aura rose from her body as she glared angrily at Dai Yueheng.
"Are you upset that I took your captaincy, so you're here to provoke my Yuhao? Or are you trying to stand up for your brother who got expelled from the academy?"
Ling Luochen also looked at Dai Yueheng with an unfriendly expression. Compared to the previous invisible aura, the chilling aura had now materialized and rushed towards Dai Yueheng.
Dai Yueheng's expression changed slightly, and his soul power subconsciously began to circulate.
He never expected that Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen would both stand up for that maidservant, but he still kept a smile on his face and waited for Huo Yuhao's response.
Zhang Lexuan frowned, clapped her hands, and said, "Xiao Tao, Luo Chen, stop. Let's see what Yuhao has to say about this."
All eyes were on Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao simply smiled and said to Zhang Lexuan, "Senior Sister, since Senior Dai has offered to give me some pointers, then let's do it."
With this interruption, the original introduction segment came to a complete stop.
Apart from Huo Yuhao, Dai Yueheng, and Zhang Lexuan who stayed behind as referees, everyone else had retreated outside the Soul Battle Arena.
The seating arrangement in the audience was also quite interesting.
Ling Luochen, holding Xixi's hand, along with Ma Xiaotao, had already started talking with Jiang Nannan and the others.
Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan stood together, silently cheering for Dai Yueheng.
Chen Zifeng, in particular, is quite nervous now. If Dai Yueheng loses, he will likely be the one to be replaced in the starting lineup.
As for Gongyang Mo, he stood alone, watching the scene with great interest, looking quite self-satisfied.
Xi Xi quietly tugged at Ling Luo Chen's sleeve beside her and asked in a low voice, "Luo Chen, is it really okay for your brother to fight Dai Yue Heng?"
As Ling Luochen's sister, she could say that she was almost sick of hearing her talk about her brother recently.
This junior was indeed, as Ling Luochen had said, a rare and handsome young man.
But compared to an appearance that can be recognized at a glance, can a Soul Venerable win against a Soul Emperor?
Ling Luochen said softly, "You'll see as you continue watching. My younger brother is naturally completely different from others."
Ma Xiaotao patted Xixi on the shoulder in a casual manner and said:
"Although I've never gotten along with Ling Luochen, that ice block, I still agree with what she said. Just don't think about attacking Yuhao after you've finished watching."
After speaking, Ma Xiaotao stared at Xixi for a few moments, making the other woman feel a little uneasy.
Xixi was also thinking to herself that she was so ordinary-looking, and unlike the two of them, she didn't think about older men dating younger women.
The reason Ma Xiaotao spoke up to remind him was quite simple.
In order to teach her, her teacher's wife often complained to her about her teacher's past romantic affairs.
In particular, he talked about his teacher's first woman, and tearfully recounted how his teacher was able to get together with a woman who possessed the Evil Phoenix Martial Soul, and even let her go afterward out of pity.
And those who always surrounded Yuhao were all beautiful women.
But if he ever decides to try something new, who knows what might happen?
Just then, Yan, who was reviewing documents in the dean's office, suddenly sneezed without warning.
He was a little confused about what had happened. Was it because the weather had turned cold?
