Chapter 181 Simulation, Domain?
As a lightning leopard soul master of the agility-based attack type, Xixi has been cultivating in the direction of an assassin since childhood. For a given mission target, she is required to kill with one blow and escape thousands of miles away!
Whether she can actually achieve that level of skill remains to be seen. However, there's no doubt that Xixi is exceptionally talented as an assassin. Especially when facing opponents of similar strength, she often manages to land a fatal blow.
Under Huo Yuhao's simulation, just a few seconds after Shen Ce launched the Thousand Strike Spear, Xi Xi had already darted out from the gap in the shield wall, changing her Lightning Leopard Claw thrust into a slap, and fiercely went towards the unsuspecting Shen Ce!
By the time the captain of the Thousand Spirits team finally realized something was wrong, it was already too late!
The leopard's claws, crackling with electricity, had already struck Shen Ce in the chest!
The lightning's paralysis nearly caused the man's heart to stop, leaving him no time to react! As the immense force struck out, Xi Xi followed closely, unleashing several more palm strikes that sent Shen Ce flying straight off the stage!
Because it happened so suddenly, the rest of the Qianling team didn't react until Shen Ce was about to be thrown off the stage by Xixi, but it was already too late.
Even though Shen Ce, who was practically unconscious, wasn't eliminated, the Thousand-Strike Spear was no longer able to withstand Chen Zifeng's offensive!
With the only Soul King gone, the remaining six are all just Soul Masters.
Facing Chen Zifeng and the other three Soul Masters, their chances of winning were slim. Besides, they still hadn't figured out how Xixi had managed to get behind them and eliminate their captain.
Given this bizarre situation, they're likely to lose even faster!
And that is indeed the case.
When Shen Ce was eliminated by the referee, Xi Xi, who attacked from behind, and Chen Zifeng, who was directly in front, attacked from both sides. At the same time, three Soul Masters also joined the attack.
Unexplained interference from soul skills made it difficult for them to defend against Shrek Academy's attacks in time. Before long, the referee stepped off the field and announced the result of the match.
Shrek Academy wins!
At the referee's announcement, the seven members of Shrek Academy stood in a row, bowed slightly to their opponents, and then left the arena in an orderly manner.
The six students from Qianling Academy returned the salute with great respect before leaving one after another.
Everyone was puzzled to see Shen Ce awake in the rest area. Fei Yuyan frowned slightly, her eyes filled with worry as she asked, "Captain, how are you?"
Shen Ce's face was a little pale. He waved his hand and said, "That female soul master of the Lightning Leopard had already held back. She was just feeling suffocated and her soul power was somewhat depleted."
An Lengye asked, somewhat puzzled, "Captain, did you see how that female Soul Master got here? She was clearly fighting us just a moment ago..."
"That four-ring Soul Master who exceeded the optimal Soul Ring ratio! It must be his ability! I think his name is Huo Yuhao..." Shen Ce recalled and guessed.
"His martial soul is..." Fei Yuyan suddenly fell into thought. Huo Yuhao had only participated in two matches since the start of the competition. But whether it was the preliminary round or the match just now, they still hadn't figured out Huo Yuhao's martial soul and abilities.
Shen Ce sighed and said in a deep voice, "We have no reason to lose to Shrek Academy. Huo Yuhao's martial soul should be of the spiritual attribute. During the match just now, the female soul master with the Lightning Leopard martial soul must have gotten around to us with the help of his soul skill..."
"A spirit-attribute martial soul..." Fei Yuyan glanced at the Shrek Academy's rest area, intending to observe Huo Yuhao further, but found that he was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did you go?"
On the imperial city walls, Xu Jiawei glanced at Xu Jiujiu and asked, "Jiujiu, have you discerned Huo Yuhao's abilities?"
He frowned deeply, lost in thought. "I haven't been able to figure out his first soul skill in the last two matches, and there's been virtually no related information. But his martial soul is, after all, a spirit-attribute physical martial soul—the Spirit Eye. So I can roughly guess that the soul master with the Lightning Leopard martial soul just now was probably the captain of the Thousand Spirits team who sneaked around to the back and attacked under the cover of Huo Yuhao's illusion-type soul skill."
Xu Jiawei smiled and nodded, saying, "Indeed, it should be a simulation of Huo Yuhao's signature move from Shrek Academy's outer courtyard."
"It's just that the range of his soul skill is ridiculously large, it can almost be called a domain, right? How could a thousand-year soul skill achieve this?" Xu Jiujiu had learned about Huo Yuhao's simulated soul skill from an informant in Shrek Academy's outer courtyard a long time ago, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he still felt a sense of disbelief.
"You're right, this soul skill can already be called a domain in terms of range. That's why I have some suspicions that his second soul ring might not be a thousand-year-old one at all."
After listening to Xu Jiawei's guess for a long time, she was stunned. When she realized the implication of Xu Jiawei's words, her beautiful blue eyes widened and her cherry-like mouth opened slightly.
"Brother, you don't actually think that Huo Yuhao's second spirit ring is...?"
Xu Jiawei's eyes were very calm. Using his soul power to transmit his voice, he slowly told Xu Jiujiu the incredible conclusion, "When all the clues point to one possibility, no matter how unbelievable the conclusion is, it should be true. Based on the clues we have so far, Huo Yuhao's second soul ring is most likely over ten thousand years old."
After a long while, her fair neck twitched slightly, and the shock in her beautiful eyes deepened. When she turned her gaze to the Shrek Academy's rest area, she found that Huo Yuhao was nowhere to be seen.
"When did you run away?"
If we're talking about the person in the entire Xingluo Square competition area who's most concerned about Huo Yuhao's whereabouts right now, besides Meng Hongchen from the Sun Moon Team, no one else can compare. Ever since Huo Yuhao returned triumphantly from the competition stage, this pretty girl with long wine-red hair has been staring at Huo Yuhao with her beautiful blue eyes.
Just then, since she didn't have a chance to participate in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's competition, Meng Hongchen slipped over under the pretext of going to the restroom.
After passing through countless academy rest areas, Meng Hongchen followed Huo Yuhao's departing figure closely to the restroom in the corner of Xingluo Square.
"Wrong? Is he here to use the restroom too?" Meng Hongchen was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting that Huo Yuhao's destination would coincide with the excuse she had come up with.
"Wait!" Meng Hongchen looked around anxiously and realized that in the short time she had been distracted, she had lost track of Huo Yuhao, such a big living person!
This somewhat quirky and adorable girl looked around anxiously, searching for the person she had been longing for day and night, unaware that a young man was smiling and observing her from not far behind her.
