The strongest experts of the Dragon-Slaying Sect were effortlessly defeated by Huo Yuhao—he didn't even need to use a single soul skill.
Under such circumstances, the others didn't even dare to fight.
Even the elder leading the Dragon-Slaying Sect team was merely a Soul Douluo. Facing Huo Yuhao, they couldn't summon the slightest will to continue.
Rather than stepping forward only to be smashed into the ground with one punch, it was better to preserve a shred of dignity and admit defeat on the spot.
The opening match of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy concluded perfectly, and everyone witnessed firsthand that Huo Yuhao was worthy of his title as a peerless genius.
Even after Huo Yuhao stepped down from the arena and the host announced the next match between two other academies, countless eyes still remained fixed on him.
Especially the people from Shrek Academy—the very ones whose reputation Huo Yuhao had completely destroyed in the previous Soul Master Tournament—were filled with fear and shock.
Wasn't it said that cultivating an Ultimate Martial Soul became slower and slower the further one progressed?
Then why had the gap between them and Huo Yuhao only grown wider and wider after five years?
Beibei and Xu Sanshi couldn't understand it. They even began to doubt the historical records of Shrek Academy itself, wondering if the so-called "difficulty" of cultivating an Ultimate Martial Soul was nothing but a lie.
Otherwise, how could Huo Yuhao—who was even younger than they were—have reached a level two full tiers above them?
He was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Soul Douluo, and one who possessed two one-hundred-thousand-year soul rings!
How were they supposed to compete with such a monster?
If even Beibei and Xu Sanshi felt this way, then needless to say, Dai Huabin—who bore a deep, irreconcilable hatred toward Huo Yuhao and wished he could flay him alive—was seething with rage.
Dai Huabin's eyes were locked onto Huo Yuhao, teeth grinding so hard his cheekbones stood out sharply. His eyes had turned blood-red, and his expression twisted into a feral grimace, as if he wanted to rush up and tear Huo Yuhao into pieces right then and there.
With Huo Yuhao's spiritual power, of course he sensed that murderous gaze. Yet when he turned his head, Dai Huabin instantly averted his eyes, terrified that Huo Yuhao might notice the hatred burning within him.
After all, with Huo Yuhao's current status in the Sun Moon Empire—and his terrifying strength—erasing a disgraced student from Shrek Academy would be nothing more than a casual flick of the wrist.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao merely smiled faintly. He didn't bother to take Dai Huabin, a man already doomed, to heart, and simply turned back to chat and laugh with Snow Empress and Gu Yue Na.
That very indifference made Dai Huabin even angrier.
Especially when he noticed that Zhu Lu—now a participant representing Star Luo Royal Academy—was also gazing at Huo Yuhao.
In that instant, Dai Huabin felt as though the scene he had once experienced in the Mirror of Flowers, Water and Moon illusion had come to life before his eyes.
Zhu Lu, once his fiancée, now treated him like a stranger, while Huo Yuhao—the "blond brat"—had captured her attention instead.
What next? Should he dye his own hair to entertain them too?
Dai Huabin's fists clenched so tightly that his nails pierced his palms, but he ignored the pain completely.
If he couldn't deal with Huo Yuhao, then surely he could handle Zhu Lu—a woman who had once been no more than his subordinate, right?
Dai Huabin made up his mind. When Shrek Academy faced Star Luo Royal Academy in the arena, he would personally kill Zhu Lu.
No matter what, he would never allow her to end up in Huo Yuhao's arms like in that illusion!
Even though their engagement had been dissolved, in Dai Huabin's mind, Zhu Lu was still his possession—something no one else was allowed to touch!
Meanwhile, Xuanzai (Xuan Zi) watched Huo Yuhao—still surrounded by a group of beautiful girls, just like five years ago—and a trace of killing intent flashed through his eyes.
Five years ago, he had already believed that Huo Yuhao would one day become a calamity. If he couldn't recruit him into Shrek Academy, then he must find a way to eliminate him.
But back then, with Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen accompanying Huo Yuhao, his plan to kill him failed.
Now, looking at the current situation, his suspicions from that time were clearly confirmed.
If Huo Yuhao were allowed to keep growing, the entire continent would one day face disaster.
A peerless genius like that—thriving within the Sun Moon Empire—was a completely different matter from being in Shrek Academy.
However, given his current strength, trying to assassinate Huo Yuhao under the protection of numerous Rank 9 Soul Engineers was nearly impossible.
So what could he do to eliminate this peerless genius before he reached his absolute peak?
As Xuan Zi pondered this question, he suddenly noticed that someone else was also looking at Huo Yuhao with killing intent.
That person was none other than Zhongli Wu, the Pope of the Holy Spirit Cult!
The discovery made Xuan Zi's eyes light up. A thought flashed through his mind.
If he could cooperate with Zhongli Wu, then with the strange and sinister methods of evil soul masters, surely they could find a way to kill Huo Yuhao.
No—wait. How could this be called "cooperation with evil soul masters"? For Shrek Academy, this would simply be "using" them!
Thinking this way, Xuan Zi decided that after today's matches, he would find an opportunity to meet Zhongli Wu and discuss the details in secret.
If only Huo Yuhao didn't possess a Body Martial Soul, perhaps even Du Busi, the master of the Body Sect, would be tempted to eliminate him.
But to avoid exposing his plan prematurely, it was better not to gamble on whether Du Busi would agree to such a thing.
Glancing toward the Body Sect's delegation, Xuan Zi saw Du Busi's face brimming with excitement and immediately dismissed the idea of involving him.
And, for once, that decision was actually the right one.
Upon realizing that Huo Yuhao had already become a Soul Douluo, Du Busi felt nothing but elation. He believed more firmly than ever that giving Huo Yuhao the cultivation method for the Body Martial Soul back then—and forging a bond of goodwill between the Body Sect and Huo Yuhao—had been the wisest decision of his life.
Even though Huo Yuhao had joined the Sun Moon Empire and stood on the opposite side of the continent, that bond ensured that when the Sun Moon Empire eventually unified the land, the Body Sect would still have a place to exist.
With Du Busi's understanding of Huo Yuhao, he knew this boy—who always repaid kindness—would never seek to annihilate the Body Sect completely.
If only it had been the Body Sect who first discovered Huo Yuhao's talent! Then Du Busi would have no need to worry about their future at all.
Meanwhile, Long Aotian, already named as the Body Sect's next Sect Master, felt his breath catch as he watched Huo Yuhao's display of power.
When he saw the woman he liked, Vina, staring unblinkingly at Huo Yuhao, Long Aotian nearly suffocated with rage.
He bit his lip, fists clenched tightly on his knees.
He had originally wanted to prove himself before everyone—to prove that Du Busi had made the right choice in naming him heir, to defeat Huo Yuhao, and then invite him to join the Body Sect.
But now, staring at Huo Yuhao, Long Aotian realized that his once-proud strength was utterly insignificant before him.
Long Aotian's Dao Heart shattered.
To be precise, Long Aotian was far from the only one whose arrogance—or Dao Heart—was shattered by Huo Yuhao's performance.
Every so-called "unrivaled genius" present that day truly understood, deep in their hearts, what it meant when people said:
"There is always someone stronger than you, and a sky beyond the sky."
