Chapter 47: Fighting Power
"Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng are the Captain and Vice-Captain. They will each lead a team and select three main members. Ma Xiaotao, since your cultivation is higher, you can only select three reserve members, and the remaining four go to Dai Yueheng."
"Let's begin. Choose alternately. We'll see how capable you two are at team composition."
Ma Xiaotao chose first.
"For the first main member, I choose Huo Yuhao."
Dai Yueheng's mouth twitched. He also wanted to choose Huo Yuhao. Who in the Inner Court didn't know that Huo Yuhao was invincible among all Soul Kings?
He just didn't know why, but Huo Yuhao never really paid attention to him.
Even though he really wanted to get to know Huo Yuhao.
Dai Yueheng recalled the oppressive feeling, as if he were about to be devoured, when Dean Yan questioned him last year about whether he had harmed Huo Yuhao—as if saying 'yes' would result in him being drowned in the Sea God Lake.
What did his foolish younger brother do? No, he must beat him up again later and ask what happened.
"I choose Gongyang Mo."
Gongyang Mo's Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul has auxiliary effects comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Furthermore, he is a Rank 59 Soul King, his Soul Power Rank second only to the two Soul Emperors.
"Ling Luochen."
"Chen Zifeng."
"Xi Xi."
"Yao Haoxuan."
Next came the selection of reserve members.
Ma Xiaotao secretly winked at Huo Yuhao.
That smelly younger brother often hangs out in the Outer Court and definitely knows more than she does.
The corners of his mouth curved up, and Huo Yuhao understood.
Spiritual Detection Sharing connected to Ma Xiaotao.
"Xu Sanshi."
"Bei Bei."
"Jiang Nannan."
"Ning Tian."
"Lan Susu."
The remaining Xiao Xiao and Lan Luoluo belonged to Dai Huabin's team.
Ma Xiaotao's Team: Huo Yuhao, Ling Luochen, Xi Xi, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Lan Susu.
Dai Yueheng's Team: Gongyang Mo, Chen Zifeng, Yao Haoxuan, Bei Bei, Ning Tian, Xiao Xiao, Lan Luoluo.
As the saying goes, it's better to weaken the enemy than to strengthen yourself.
The Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo could also cause some trouble.
It's best to just break them up.
"I announce, the competition begins!"
Xuan Zi took a large gulp of wine and announced loudly.
With a roar, Yao Haoxuan instantly transformed into a four-meter-tall Iron Gray Giant, tearing his clothes as he charged toward the back row of Ma Xiaotao's team.
Ma Xiaotao immediately moved to stop him, but Dai Yueheng blocked her.
"Dai Yueheng, right? Very well! Watch me turn your White Tiger into a Black Tiger!"
Ma Xiaotao, Rank 69, possessing the Ultimate Fire attribute, had a Fighting Power capable of clashing head-on even with a Soul Saint who used their True Martial Soul Incarnation. Dai Yueheng immediately applied enhancement Soul skillss to himself.
First Soul skills, White Tiger Protective Barrier!
Third Soul skills, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!
Fifth Soul skills, White Tiger Demon God Transformation!
Gongyang Mo's colorful wings flapped, and five Soul Rings lit up in succession, applying the maximum possible augmentation to Dai Yueheng, from the First Soul skills to the Fifth Soul skills.
The powerful augmentation effect instantly gave Dai Yueheng the confidence to contend with Ma Xiaotao.
Second Soul skills, Phoenix Bathing in Fire!
Third Soul skills, Phoenix Wing Sky Flight!
After two consecutive enhancement Soul skillss, Ma Xiaotao instantly followed up with her Fifth Soul skills.
Phoenix Cloud Piercing Strike!
Ma Xiaotao, unburdened by the Evil Fire, fought without restraint, truly becoming the Flame Fiend!
While Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng were locked in a fierce, inseparable battle, Huo Yuhao immediately connected the entire team via Spiritual Detection Sharing.
Xu Sanshi raised the Black Tortoise Shell Shield and directly withstood Yao Haoxuan's attack.
Xi Xi provided support from the side. With Spiritual Detection Sharing active, the timing was grasped perfectly.
They pressed Yao Haoxuan hard.
Bei Bei and Chen Zifeng, two power attackers, formed the strongest offensive spearhead. They faced the restraining team composed of Jiang Nannan and Ling Luochen.
Xiao Xiao, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo felt like they couldn't participate in a competition of this intensity.
Ning Tian, holding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, provided augmentation for his side's members, which was still effective.
"Bang bang!"
With two sharp thumps, Xiao Xiao and Lan Luoluo, two Great Soul Masters, instantly felt dizzy. When they regained consciousness, they had already been taken off the stage by Elder Xuan.
How could Lan Luoluo and Xiao Xiao not understand that Huo Yuhao was the one who acted?
One was Huo Yuhao's teammate during the New Student Assessment, and the other was an opponent who had experienced Soul Impact; both knew about Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Attack.
Seeing that she couldn't help much, Lan Susu stayed beside Huo Yuhao, acting as support within the protection team.
Hmm, protection, support.
With Huo Yuhao's current Spiritual Power at the quasi-Soul Emperor level, a single Soul Impact could hard-control a Soul Emperor for several seconds, let alone these Soul Kings.
To prevent the competition from ending too quickly, Huo Yuhao was also being thoughtful.
His current Permanent Mirroring had been updated.
His three Permanent Mirrorings were Ma Xiaotao's Sixth Soul skills, Phoenix Meteor Shower.
An Inner Court teacher whose Martial Soul was the Tree of Life, and his Sixth Soul skills, Deadwood Meets Spring.
This powerful healing ability belonged to the junior of Elder Zhuang from the Sea Gods Pavilion.
This compensated for Huo Yuhao's shortcoming in healing.
Of course, this was under the condition that the Glazed Fluorescent Flower External Soul Bone Finger couldn't be used.
The last Permanent Mirroring was Xu Sanshi's Black Tortoise Substitution.
Although it was only a thousand-year Soul skills, it could be called a Divine Skill.
The Temporary Mirroring was not fixed; it depended on what Soul skillss Huo Yuhao had seen in the past few days.
But it would also be maintained at full capacity.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao quietly activated Black Tortoise Substitution.
Target: Ning Tian.
Ning Tian, holding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, hadn't even reacted before he was wrapped up like a zongzi by Lan Susu's Hair Net.
"What!"
The Inner Court Disciples were fine; they were used to seeing Huo Yuhao use an unknown number of Soul skillss during sparring and training.
The Outer Court Disciples were different. In the Outer Court, Huo Yuhao hadn't encountered an opponent that required him to use Spiritual Mirroring.
Xu Sanshi looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"Holy crap, isn't that my Soul skills? How did Huo Yuhao do that?"
Then, due to his distraction, he was punched by Yao Haoxuan, who looked like a small giant, sending him flying over ten meters and sliding across the ground.
Xi Xi quickly released a powerful Soul skills to hold back Yao Haoxuan and prevent him from finishing the job.
Huo Yuhao waved his hand, and the Temporary Mirroring of Ling Luochen's Third Soul skills, Ice Prison, hit Bei Bei.
Fourth Soul skills, Thunder Dragon Head!
The thunder destroyed the Ice Prison, but Bei Bei's Soul Power consumption was enormous.
Bei Bei was only a Rank 42 Soul Sect. How many times could his Soul Power sustain the use of his Fourth Soul skills?
The effect of the Ice Prison was indeed less than ideal.
But it didn't matter. The time it took Bei Bei to shatter the Ice Prison was enough for Huo Yuhao to return to his side from the broken battle line.
"Sister Luochen."
"Mm, Yuhao, come on."
The cool, aloof, and fair-skinned cold beauty responded to Huo Yuhao through Spiritual Detection Sharing.
Huo Yuhao could now use his First and Second Martial Souls simultaneously. With the Spirit Eye as his Body Martial Soul, the difficulty of using his twin Martial Souls together had decreased significantly.
His white hair fluttered. Huo Yuhao condensed the Ultimate Ice attribute in his palm and slowly pressed it against the center of Ling Luochen's back.
Instantly, a feeling of a superior attribute dominating an inferior attribute rose in her heart.
This shouldn't have happened.
Both Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochen possessed the Ice attribute.
But there was still an insurmountable chasm between Ultimate and Divine Rank, let alone this mere mortal ice?
