Chapter 153 Xu Sanshi: I was speaking too loudly just now.
Xu Sanshi's sudden appearance at this time naturally displeased Xuanzi.
A hint of displeasure flashed across his greasy old face, and a touch of coldness shone in his cloudy eyes.
For a junior to question his decision in front of so many people is clearly a challenge to his authority.
However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he couldn't very well make a one-man show.
He looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, "Yuhao, what do you think?"
Huo Yuhao remained calm, his handsome face showing no emotion.
He glanced at Xu Sanshi and said calmly, "Since this senior is questioning my strength, let's have a fight."
Xuanzi nodded: "Alright."
His gaze swept over the rest of the group, his tone carrying a meaningful undertone.
"Show me your skills, so that others won't have any complaints."
Then, the surrounding crowd began to back away.
In the center of the arena, a large area was quickly cleared out.
Only Huo Yuhao and Xu Sanshi remained in the arena.
Xu Sanshi took a deep breath, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
He suddenly activated his soul power, and his martial soul instantly possessed him!
A shield appeared in his hand. The shield was entirely black, with faint tortoise-shell-like patterns on it, exuding a heavy and steady aura. It was the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield.
Beneath his feet, four perfectly matched spirit rings—two yellow and two purple—slowly rose up.
With his cultivation level of a four-ring Soul Master, his strength was already among the top in the sixth grade of the outer academy.
On the other side, Huo Yuhao couldn't see anything unusual.
After the Spirit Eye Martial Soul is attached to the body, as long as it is controlled properly, there will be no obvious changes.
But when the spirit rings appeared beneath his feet...
The faint murmurs that had been lingering around them vanished instantly.
All eyes were fixed on Huo Yuhao.
One by one, spirit rings began to appear beneath his feet.
The first one is purple.
The second one is purple.
The first two spirit rings far exceeded the ideal combination in people's minds.
But what happens next...
The third one is black!
The fourth one is also black!
The fifth one, still black!
Two purples and three blacks!
Five spirit rings floated silently beneath Huo Yuhao's feet, radiating a heart-stopping light.
The configuration of spirit rings exceeds the age limit and is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Most importantly, Huo Yuhao was currently surrounded by five spirit rings!
The Fifth Ring Road!
Soul King?!
Since the start of this semester, Huo Yuhao has kept a low profile, never fighting with anyone, and never revealing his cultivation level.
So much so that even his roommate, Wang Dong, was unaware that his soul power cultivation had made another breakthrough.
Huo Yuhao's display of Soul King cultivation at this moment naturally shocked everyone.
Those students who had initially been just watching the spectacle were now staring wide-eyed, their mouths agape as if they could fit eggs in them.
Even Xuanzi, who had great confidence in Huo Yuhao's strength, was somewhat dumbfounded at this moment.
His cloudy old eyes were now filled with disbelief.
The chicken leg I had just put in my mouth was left hanging in mid-air, dangling there without me even noticing the oil dripping down.
Huo Yuhao, this young man, has indeed brought him too many shocks!
Meanwhile, Xu Sanshi, as the opponent, was in an even more precarious situation.
The fighting spirit that had just risen in his eyes vanished instantly, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head.
His right hand, which was gripping the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield, was trembling slightly.
He had just said, "Huo Yuhao is just a Soul Master."
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the other party revealed five spirit rings!
Huo Yuhao was several years younger than him, but his cultivation level had already surpassed his own.
Moreover, with his terrifying combat power, coupled with his current advantage in soul power and soul rings, Xu Sanshi could no longer see any hope of victory.
Huo Yuhao did not launch an attack. He just stood there quietly, looking calmly at Xu Sanshi.
His delicate face revealed no emotion.
He simply said, "Senior, please make your move."
Xu Sanshi swallowed hard.
At this moment, he was truly in a difficult situation.
Let's fight. He probably can't win, and he'll likely lose badly.
If we don't fight, wouldn't retreating without a fight make us even more of a laughingstock?
He gritted his teeth.
The arrow is already on the bowstring; it has no choice but to be released.
Xu Sanshi took a deep breath and forced himself to muster his courage.
He suddenly shouted and charged towards Huo Yuhao, brandishing the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield!
The shouts were deafening, as if they could embolden him.
Huo Yuhao, however, fell into deep thought as he watched Xu Sanshi rushing towards him.
This was not because Xu Sanshi was particularly difficult to deal with; on the contrary, in Huo Yuhao's eyes, Xu Sanshi was full of flaws at this moment.
There are so many ways to defeat him, which one should we use?
Huo Yuhao was thinking seriously.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Sanshi had already rushed to within several meters of Huo Yuhao.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao had already made up his mind.
He didn't use any soul skills, but simply mobilized his mental power, and a simple soul impact accurately hit Xu Sanshi's sea of consciousness.
With his current strength, he can easily deal with almost anyone below the Soul Emperor level.
Xu Sanshi felt a sudden, sharp pain in his head, as if he had been stabbed hard by an invisible needle.
The excruciating pain came suddenly and violently, causing his vision to go black, and he immediately lost consciousness.
His forward-moving body suddenly stopped, but due to inertia, he continued to fly forward.
"Thump!"
He fell heavily in front of Huo Yuhao, face down, sprawled on the ground.
That head was almost touching Huo Yuhao's toes.
There was silence all around.
Almost everyone gaped, their faces filled with disbelief.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao's Soul King cultivation level, they guessed the outcome of the competition.
A Soul King's crushing defeat against a Soul Master is inevitable.
But they really didn't expect the competition to end so quickly.
How fast?
It happened so fast that many people didn't even realize what was happening before Xu Sanshi was already on the ground.
No one even saw how Huo Yuhao made his move; in just an instant, Xu Sanshi was defeated.
Teacher Wang Yan hurriedly came over, squatted down, and carefully examined Xu Sanshi before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
She just fainted.
Huo Yuhao controlled his "strength" perfectly.
After a short while, Xu Sanshi slowly woke up.
He opened his eyes, initially a little dazed, looking around blankly.
But soon, he remembered what had just happened.
His face instantly turned as red as if it were dripping blood.
He lowered his head, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
He felt too ashamed to stay there any longer; he had just been utterly humiliated.
He previously made arrogant remarks about Huo Yuhao, questioning his strength and saying things like "we'll only know after we fight."
But in the blink of an eye, he couldn't even withstand a single move from his opponent.
He glanced at Jiang Nannan standing in the crowd, and seeing that her expression hadn't changed, he felt a little relieved.
At this moment, Xuanzi's voice came out.
"Huo Yuhao does not need to participate in this assessment."
His cloudy old eyes swept over everyone present, his tone tinged with mockery.
"Now, who still objects?"
The arena was completely silent.
No one spoke.
Everyone instinctively avoided Xuanzi's gaze; no one dared to step forward at this moment.
After all, Huo Yuhao's strength is undeniable.
Xuanzi nodded in satisfaction, picked up the wine gourd, and took another swig.
"Since no one objects, let's begin the formal selection!"
