"It's a shame the terrain's so limiting. Otherwise, this junior brother could definitely show off even more of his strength," He Caitou said, clearly impressed by Huo Yuhao's performance.
"A Spirit Attribute soul master?" Qian Duoduo and Xian Liner, who were watching from the observation platform, immediately sat up straight, staring intently at Huo Yuhao.
It had been several years since Shrek Academy had seen a Spirit Attribute soul master.
"Duo Duo," Xian Liner said in a strange tone.
Qian Duoduo nodded knowingly, "I understand."
Inside the arena, Wang Dong continued his attacks. However, no matter how aggressively Wang Dong attacked, Huo Yuhao always used the Soul Tool Ray to anticipate Wang Dong's attack routes, targeting his undefended areas and disrupting his offensive rhythm.
This made Wang Dong extremely uncomfortable.
Soul Tool Rays weren't a threat as long as they didn't hit him directly, but the problem was Huo Yuhao was aiming straight for his body, completely ignoring the wings. And the worst part? Every shot was incredibly accurate.
After another missed attack, Wang Dong couldn't help but shout, "Don't run!"
"Then don't chase," Huo Yuhao immediately retorted.
Wang Dong took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Huo Yuhao. His second soul ring suddenly lit up. He had ranged attacks too.
Here it comes.
The students watched with rapt attention. A thousand-year soul skill!
Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious. His offensive options were too limited right now. Besides the Spirit Impact and Heavenly Eye Golden Light, he had nothing.
As for taking a soul skill head-on, he wasn't quite ready for that yet. Maybe someday.
However…
Just as Wang Dong activated his second soul ring, the golden light in Huo Yuhao's eyes intensified. His yellow soul ring even flickered, and a distorted golden light flashed out, shooting directly towards Wang Dong.
That golden light silently merged into Wang Dong's eyes.
Wang Dong's second soul skill was at the thousand-year level, and his first soul skill also had the same effect.
"Second soul skill, Butterfly God's Light."
Wang Dong called out softly, spreading his wings and flying towards Huo Yuhao. This time, he didn't close the distance, but stopped at a suitable position, taking advantage of the aerial advantage to launch his attack.
Countless golden spheres emanated from the dazzling blue-purple wings. In the next moment, all the small spheres burst forth, as dense as a meteor shower.
He patted his chest lightly, infusing it with soul power. Instantly, a faint white glow formed on Huo Yuhao's body's surface. The Bodyguard Soul Tool had been activated.
In the next second, Huo Yuhao showed everyone what it meant to dance on the tip of a blade.
Countless light spheres fell, and Huo Yuhao's body moved, seemingly with difficulty, under their impact. Each dodge saw a dozen or so light spheres fall beside him, smashing into the ground and splashing golden light.
Yet, not a single one of these dense light spheres landed on him.
In mid-air, Wang Dong was dumbfounded.
But he quickly reacted. Taking this opportunity, he could close the distance and finish the fight in close combat.
Thinking this, Wang Dong's first soul ring lit up again, the wings behind him flashed with a cold light, and Wang Dong charged directly downwards, using the still-releasing Butterfly God's Light to launch a final strike.
But just as Wang Dong did this, a faint smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips. With a thought, a golden light flashed within Wang Dong's eyes.
The next moment, under everyone's gaze, Wang Dong inexplicably attacked to Huo Yuhao's left, and the blow that should have ended the match inexplicably went astray.
Wang Dong's wings slammed hard onto the floor, leaving a deep, clear gash, with shattered stones flying everywhere.
This scene stunned everyone.
This…
At this moment, the pressure from the Butterfly God's Light completely vanished. Nearly half of Huo Yuhao's soul power gathered within him, pouring into the soul tool on his arm as if it cost nothing.
He moved his feet and arrived behind Wang Dong, his arm aimed at her. "Put your hands up."
Wang Dong stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the place where the ground had been split.
Why did he miss again? But it was clearly a hit in my sight.
Unfortunately, no one was there to explain things to Wang Dong. Wang Yan arrived in time and nodded to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao didn't know how to dispel the injected soul power, so he simply shot it towards an empty area. Under everyone's gaze, the Soul Tool Ray nearly pierced through the not-so-thick wall.
Some Support-Type and Food-Type soul masters' eyes lit up like light bulbs. My goodness, this soul tool's power is pretty good.
"You lost again." Huo Yuhao took off the ray soul tool and said teasingly to Wang Dong.
"What did you do? Why did I miss the target twice in a row?" Wang Dong was full of confusion; he didn't care about winning or losing at this point.
"Secret." Huo Yuhao joked.
Wang Dong was covered in black lines.
Wang Yan's eyes were filled with surprise as he watched Huo Yuhao. He hadn't actually expected a soul master to defeat a regular grand soul master using a soul tool; he only hoped to let the students see the situation.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao had actually pulled off a counter-kill.
A soul master had defeated a grand soul master.
And he maintained complete control of the battle.
"You can go back and rest now," Wang Yan said gently.
Wang Dong snorted at Huo Yuhao and turned to leave.
Huo Yuhao handed the soul tool to Wang Yan and followed after her.
"Awesome, bro!"
As soon as Huo Yuhao came down, he immediately heard a lot of cheers, mostly from the boys, with fewer girls.
Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, appearing calm.
The students' interest was immediately piqued.
Wang Yan seized the opportunity, saying, "The next sparring sessions will be soul masters against soul masters, and Grand Soul Masters against Grand Soul Masters. Those who want to participate, choose your opponents, and I'll arrange the order."
Hearing this, the eager students immediately began searching for opponents.
However, Class One's overall quality wasn't that high. They only had three Grand Soul Masters: Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and an Agile Assault Type girl named Yan Yulan.
It was a typical case of the yin being dominant and the yang being weak.
Since Wang Dong had already participated in a sparring match, Xiao Xiao could only choose Yan Yulan.
But Class One had an extra person, Song Qinghan. He couldn't find an opponent, so Wang Yan could only have him watch.
He Caitou, like a certain blue robotic cat, continuously took out soul tools suitable for low-level soul masters from his Storage Ring.
At the same time, he paired them according to each student's needs, allowing the soul tools to better complement their soul skills.
In this small assessment area, sparring matches were constantly taking place.
The Assault Type students didn't have a very deep experience, mainly because their cultivation was too low at the moment. Generally, Soul Tools only became truly powerful from the third rank onwards.
In contrast, the Support Type, Food Type, Agile Assault Type, Control Type, and Defense Type soul masters had quite an amazing experience with Soul Tools.
Agile Assault Type students, with the help of Soul Tool Boosters, saw their speed increase by at least fifteen percent.
Control Type students, using Soul Tool Rays, could control and output simultaneously, improving their control effects.
Defense Type soul masters, with the Bodyguard Soul Tools, took their already formidable defense to the next level. Although Huo Yuhao hadn't demonstrated the defensive power of this Soul Tool, these students felt it.
The most excited were actually the Support and Food Types.
Although these two types eventually lost to their opponents, the attack power given to them by the Soul Tools was probably unforgettable, because they only lost the sparring matches when their soul power was almost completely depleted.
As a protected soul master, having powerful offensive capabilities on your own is incredibly tempting.
Of course, Soul Tools also have their drawbacks, namely their high consumption of soul power.
But there's no other way around it. After all, everyone's cultivation is still low at this stage, and their total soul power isn't much.
However, everyone understands that with the help of Soul Tools at this stage, they can unleash power far exceeding their normal levels, even if it doesn't last long.
Battles during the freshman assessment are usually very quick, so the issue of high consumption isn't really a problem. If they can quickly defeat their opponents, what does it matter if they expend more soul power?
The reason Soul Tools are not allowed in the freshman assessment stems from this very point.
However, there was someone who didn't use a Soul Tool at all, and that was Wang Dong.
