Wang Yan felt he had discovered the truth.
Given Xiao Hongchen and Huo Yuhao's ages, even with their terrifying talent, they shouldn't have reached Soul Emperor and Soul King cultivation levels already.
Not to mention, there was Beibei, an eyewitness, who had said it himself. Less than a year ago, when he met Huo Yuhao in the Star Dou Great Forest, he was just a clueless little kid who had just become a Soul Master.
However...
Wang Yan looked at Beibei, who was sitting there in a daze, doubting life, and asked, "Beibei, are you sure that when you met Huo Yuhao in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had just become a one-ring Soul Master? Didn't you say his first Soul Ring was a ten-year-old Wind Baboon? Why was his first Soul Ring a hundred-year one when he released his Martial Soul just now?"
Wang Yan couldn't understand it.
As an outstanding teacher in the outer court, Wang Yan was different from Zhou Yi. He used more suitable methods to improve the students' strength and also enjoyed researching Martial Souls.
But he had never seen a Soul Ring go from white (ten years) to yellow (a hundred years)!
Beibei shook his head, looking bewildered.
"I don't know what's going on either, but I can confirm that Huo Yuhao's first Soul Ring in the Star Dou Great Forest was indeed a white, ten-year Soul Ring!"
Wang Yan fell into deep thought after hearing this, trying to figure out what was happening.
If he hadn't seen it wrong, Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul should be those eyes. An eye Martial Soul. Even among all the innate Martial Souls, it was considered top-tier, right?
The twin sisters from Shrek Academy, who possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, had a hair Martial Soul. It was simply incomparable to Huo Yuhao's eye Martial Soul.
Perhaps Huo Yuhao's first Soul Ring wasn't from a ten-year Wind Baboon at all! Maybe it was a hundred-year soul beast, or even a mental-type soul beast! That mental-type soul beast gave Huo Yuhao a soul skill that could change the color of his Soul Ring, which is why Beibei mistakenly thought he had obtained a ten-year Wind Baboon Soul Ring.
Although it's hard to believe, this is probably the only possibility. It's a pity that we don't know the specific effect of that soul skill.
After figuring it out, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, a smile returning to his face. He looked at the members of the Shrek pre-team, who all looked serious and heavy-hearted, and comforted them.
"You all heard it, a twelve-year-old with one Soul Ring became a Soul King in less than a year. You can imagine how many future-draining pills he must have consumed during that time."
"Xiao Hongchen isn't much older than Huo Yuhao, and his Soul Emperor cultivation is definitely filled with loopholes. You can tell just by looking at how fast he assembled his soul tool just now."
Wang Yan paused here, and after seeing that he had roused Beibei and the others' emotions, he deliberately provoked them.
"As Shrek's geniuses, being invincible at the same level is a given, and even winning battles across levels should be possible. So, don't tell me you can't defeat opponents like that, whose foundation is unstable and whose cultivation relies entirely on pills!"
"Think about it, what will you gain if you win the Soul Master Tournament as the reserve team? I can guarantee that you will become heroes of all of Shrek! You will be recorded on Shrek's monument, making Shrek's glory even more brilliant!"
Listening to Wang Yan's description of that future, the heaviness in Beibei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, and Dai Huabin's hearts gradually dissipated, replaced by a deep sense of mission.
To turn the tide and support a crumbling building.
Who could refuse something that sounded so exciting?
Moreover, if they could really win the Soul Master Tournament championship as the reserve team, then they would, as Wang Yan said, be recorded in the history of Shrek and be admired by future generations!
So, the Death God's Envoy almost wiped out the main team, but it was actually beneficial to them?
Looking at the crowd, whose heads were filled with Shrek's glory, Ning Tian shook her head inwardly and sighed.
"Truly worthy of being Shrek. Their teaching standards might not be as good as some excellent academies, but when it comes to brainwashing, Shrek is definitely the best in the continent!"
"Beibei and Xu Sanshi, who have the highest cultivation, are only Soul Ancestors with four Soul Rings. Yet, they were actually incited by Wang Yan and think they can defeat Soul Emperors and Soul Kings? Wang Yan dares to say it, and you actually dare to believe it?"
"Princess Jiujiu! If I'm not mistaken, that kid is the one we met in the Extreme North back then, right? Didn't he say he was from Shrek? He even swore that Shrek's glory would not allow anyone to insult it? But why is he now a contestant from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy?"
Granny Manyi was stunned.
Since Huo Yuhao took the stage, her gaze had not moved, staring at Huo Yuhao, always feeling like she had seen him somewhere before.
Because the Extreme North incident had passed for more than half a year, it wasn't until the end of the match, seeing Xue Di and Gu Yue Na stand up to cheer for Huo Yuhao, that Granny Manyi finally remembered who the other person was.
It could only be said that Gu Yue Na and Xue Di, these two peerless beauties, had left such a deep impression on her that even though they hadn't spoken a word, Granny Manyi could never forget them.
But, how could Huo Yuhao, who had such a strong reaction just from hearing someone say something bad about Shrek, have become a student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy after only half a year?
"Is…"
Xu Jiujiu didn't know how to explain it.
She not only knew that Huo Yuhao was from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, but she even knew that he had killed Granny Feng!
Unfortunately, Xu Jiujiu couldn't even bring herself to think about revenge.
Leaving aside the fact that the whole incident was originally Granny Manyi and Granny Feng's doing, as they had taken the initiative to chase after Huo Yuhao, trying to nip this unprecedented genius in the bud before he could grow.
Just the thought of Gu Yue Na was enough to make Xu Jiujiu abandon all her petty thoughts!
Touched? I don't dare to be!
Xu Jiujiu sighed helplessly in her heart and shook her head.
"I don't know what's going on either. Perhaps Huo Yuhao was just trying to avoid unnecessary trouble, so he pretended to be a student of Shrek Academy."
Granny Manyi nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Xu Jiujiu.
Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but glance at Huo Yuhao, who was surrounded by the girls and chatting happily, and sighed at how meticulous this guy was.
Back in the Extreme North, when facing Granny Feng and the Title Douluo from the Heavenly Soul Empire, Huo Yuhao had killed them both. Then, using some unknown method, he led them to find her and Veena. Exploiting Granny Feng's words, he pinned the blame for the evil Soul Masters onto Shrek.
He never mentioned his name during the entire ordeal. Even Granny Manyi now thought that Granny Feng had just coincidentally encountered people from Shrek while chasing him, never suspecting Huo Yuhao.
Otherwise, Xu Jiujiu would have had a headache.
Her Granny Manyi was really too reckless, never considering the consequences, just like Xuan Zi from the Star Luo Empire!
