Chapter 366: Xu Sanshi's Assist
Xu Sanshi's face lit up with a smile after all, it had been a long time since he had been this close to Jiang Nannan. He could even feel her long hair brushing against his face and neck, causing an itching sensation.
"Mysterious Underworld Displacement!"
His third soul ring glowed brilliantly.
In the next instant, he appeared in the center of Sun Moon's formation.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao was suddenly in the center of Shrek's formation.
The crowd erupted into excitement.
"Huo Yuhao and Xu Sanshi switched places? Doesn't that mean both team captains are in extreme danger right from the start? This kind of unexpected situation is rare in the tournament!"
"Haha! Let's see which captain gets eliminated first!"
In the Shrek Academy waiting area, Cai Mei'er was delighted.
Her thoughts raced:
"Sanshi, Nannan, well done! As long as the plan succeeds, Huo Yuhao will be caught in a* desperate situation attacked from all sides."*
"Huo Yuhao is strong, but he's only a Soul Emperor. No matter how powerful he is, he has limits."
"On top of that, he's completely unprepared for this, and he's being* ganged up on."*
"There's no way he won't be eliminated!"
"As for Sanshi, yes, he'll get attacked by the Sun Moon team and probably be eliminated. But trading Sanshi for Huo Yuhao is absolutely worth it! In fact, it's a huge win!"
"Without Huo Yuhao, Sun Moon is guaranteed to lose!"
Her smile grew even brighter.
To her, the Hongchen siblings were indeed talented and strong but they were still beatable.
Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, was too dangerous. Keeping him in the match was a massive risk.
The Trap is Set
"Not good! Yuhao is surrounded!"
Xiao Hongchen's expression darkened.
He acknowledged Huo Yuhao's strength, but he had never expected Shrek Academy to target him so aggressively right from the start.
"This is bad! We need to help Senior Yuhao!"
Di Qiu'er's golden aura surged, her first and second soul rings glowing.
Golden dragon scales covered her body, enhancing her already stunning appearance she now looked like a warrior goddess forged from gold.
Her expression turned icy, and a Golden Dragon Spear appeared in her hands.
She was ready to fight for real.
But at that moment, a calm voice rang through the minds of all Sun Moon team members:
"No need to help me. Just take out Xu Sanshi. I'll handle the rest."
As the team captain, Huo Yuhao's commands were absolute.
Di Qiu'er paused, then turned to look at Xu Sanshi, who was activating a defensive soul shield.
Without hesitation, she hurled her Golden Dragon Spear forward like a golden lightning bolt, a dragon's roar echoing through the battlefield.
Xu Sanshi's expression shifted.
His main job wasn't to defeat the Sun Moon team it was to stall for time, giving his team a chance to eliminate Huo Yuhao first.
So, he used Mysterious Underworld Displacement again.
In an instant, he swapped places with Di Qiu'er forcing her to face her own attack.
However, she calmly extended her hand, and the Golden Dragon Spear obediently returned to her grasp.
The Battle Begins
Surrounded by six Shrek Academy members, Huo Yuhao remained unfazed.
His heart was calm, without even a ripple of concern.
Even if all six attacked at once, they couldn't beat me.
If I wasn't deliberately hiding my true strength to avoid attracting Tang San's attention, I could have eliminated them all instantly.
Shrek Academy sees me as their biggest threat of course they'd try to take me out first.
But Xu Sanshi underestimated me. This move will only accelerate their defeat. In other words... he just handed me an easy win.
At that moment, Jiang Nannan teleported behind Huo Yuhao and activated her second soul skill Gravity Control.
Her goal was to distract Huo Yuhao and give her teammates a chance to attack.
The real offensive power of Shrek's team came from the Lan sisters, who possessed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Sky Net.
Although not as strong as the Hell White Tiger, it was still a powerful trump card.
As for the so called Tang Sect hidden weapons?
Huo Yuhao didn't even consider them a threat.
Shrek had clearly realized they were useless against him and abandoned them.
In an instant, Huo Yuhao felt his body become heavier.
But due to his incredible physical strength, Gravity Control barely affected him.
Just as Jiang Nannan drew two silver blades, preparing to attack
Huo Yuhao's eyes turned golden.
A burst of Spiritual Shock struck Jiang Nannan's soul directly.
Shrek Academy's soul tool technology couldn't produce a proper mental defense device.
Jiang Nannan instantly felt a splitting headache, her vision darkening.
She let out a muffled groan unable to even activate Invincible Golden Body before collapsing unconscious.
BANG!
She hit the ground, motionless.
The referee acted swiftly, removing her from the stage.
Shrek Academy Panics
"Not good!"
Ning Tian's face twisted in shock.
"Senior Jiang didn't even have time to activate Invincible Golden Body? She just collapsed instantly?"
She regretted not using her support abilities sooner.
To prevent an early attack from Huo Yuhao, she had activated multiple defensive soul tools to protect herself and the Lan sisters.
But if she had prioritized buffing Jiang Nannan, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.
However, there was no time for regret
The only way to honor Jiang Nannan's sacrifice was to defeat Huo Yuhao.
Gritting her teeth, she activated her martial soul:
"Nine Treasures turn out the glazed light!"
"Nine Treasures have a name! First: Strength! Second: Speed! Third: Soul! Fourth: Defense! Fifth: Attack!"
Her soul rings flared, casting buffs on herself and the remaining five Shrek members.
Now, everyone except Jiang Nannan had boosted strength, agility, soul power, defense, and attack power.
As the young mistress of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had mastered the sect's secret technique Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart.
This allowed her to buff multiple allies simultaneously at a high efficiency.
Although her martial soul was still called Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, the sect had renamed itself Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after Ning Rongrong's ancestor evolved her martial soul.
That was why the soul incantation had changed from "Seven Treasures" to "Nine Treasures."
But Huo Yuhao remained calm.
His golden eyes swept over the remaining five Shrek Academy members.
"Time to eliminate them quickly."
