Chapter 149 The Final Four
After returning to Star Luo City from the Douluo World, Huo Yuhao received news from Zhang Lexuan that Wang Dong had been attacked by unknown assailants. Huo Yuhao naturally didn't care whether Wang Dong was dead or alive; it was truly remarkable that she was Tang San's daughter—she was unharmed even after all that trouble yesterday!
However, due to the power and pressure from the Haotian Sect, Wang Dong has already been personally escorted by Dean Xian Lin'er back to Shrek Academy today.
See? When you're out in the game, you need connections.
Time waits for no one, and the semi-finals are fast approaching.
From the initial participation of over a hundred teams to the final four, the tournament has lasted for over a month, and the audience has finally witnessed the fierce competition.
Leaving aside Shrek Academy, which suffered the heaviest casualties, other academies also experienced bloodshed to varying degrees during the clashes. Fortunately, the Star Luo Empire provided substantial compensation for the dead, as they had already made their money, and most of the deceased were from the Sun Moon Empire.
With nearly half an hour to go before the start of the match, all four teams had already arrived.
Xiao Hongchen stared intently at Huo Yuhao, his provocative and irritating gaze making even his sister Meng Hongchen want to slap him.
Huo Yuhao ignored Xiao Hongchen's gaze, staring calmly ahead without a trace of fighting spirit, as if this grand event couldn't interest him at all.
The first day of the semifinals: team battles.
A wide red carpet stretched from the direction of the imperial city gate all the way to the front of the competition stage. Ten minutes before the draw was to begin, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo, accompanied by four elders, headed straight for the competition stage.
The four elders were all titled Douluo, and this move was also intended to intimidate the Sun Moon Empire, but whether the Sun Moon Empire was afraid or not was another matter.
After Xu Jiawei finished his humorous opening remarks, the man to his left stepped onto the field, his voice deep and serious.
This person is none other than Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, the guardian douluo of the Star Luo Empire.
"Please invite the captains of the four teams to come up on stage to draw lots."
After the four of them went up, Huo Yuhao noticed that the captain standing in front of Xingluo National Academy was Xu Jiujiu, while Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin could only stand behind him.
The people from Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Di'ao Academy all stared wide-eyed in astonishment.
Is the captain not Dai Yueheng, but this Princess Jiujiu?
No one is stupid enough to have made it to the semifinals; they can all see that Xu Jiujiu is the trump card of the Xingluo team.
This is a bit tricky—because no one knows what Princess Jiujiu's martial spirit is.
Dressed in a light gold outfit, Xu Jiujiu exuded a heroic spirit. Her long purple hair was neatly tied into a beautiful scorpion braid, and a faint smile graced her pretty face.
Her beautiful eyes swept over Shrek Academy, and she smiled slightly at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and nodded to her.
Ma Xiaotao glanced at Xu Jiujiu with some apprehension. She was no less beautiful or well-proportioned than Xu Jiujiu, but for some reason, she felt inferior to her.
The little lecher's skills in flirting with women are getting better and better—
Xu Jiawei's gaze swept over the four of them, and he smiled, "Very good, the match is about to begin. I hope you all remember the principle of 'friendship first, competition second.' I will throw out the balls with the draw numbers written on them shortly, and you will all rush to grab them at the same time. Are you ready?"
After the four team captains nodded in understanding, Xu Jiawei waved his hand, and four small golden balls rose into the air.
Ma Xiaotao suddenly soared up like a spring, and Xu Jiujiu, not to be outdone, lightly touched his long legs in white boots and caught a small ball right behind Ma Xiaotao, while the other two only managed to grab the ball when she landed.
Xu Jiujiu smiled and said, "Number Two."
Ma Rulong hesitated for a moment: "Number One"
Ma Xiaotao's gaze fell directly on Ma Rulong's face. "Number One."
The captain of the Imperial Academy didn't say anything because the draw results were already out.
As soon as Xu Jiawei announced the draw results, the entire audience erupted in cheers.
Because—the first match of the semi-finals is Shrek Academy versus Sun Moon Royal Academy!
Despite the fact that the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament has been going on for so many years, in reality, it's just Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy competing for the finals, while the other academies are only vying for third place.
But no one expected that they would run into each other so early this time!
As for why this is the case—does our Great Star Luo Empire really want to be a sucker forever?
Judging from the results, Ma Xiaotao undoubtedly drew the worst possible lot.
Ma Xiaotao walked off the stage somewhat dejectedly, and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister, Teacher Wang."
Wang Yan said with a solemn expression, "Don't overthink it. I can tell you with a clear conscience that we've come this far. I only have one request: please make sure you all stay safe."
"Now I'll announce the team battle lineup. Ma Xiaotao, Gongyang Mo, Ling Luochen, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and—Huo Yuhao."
"?"
Seemingly sensing Huo Yuhao's confusion, Wang Yan explained, "Yuhao, whatever your thoughts are, let's talk about them after the competition. At least in this battle, please give it your all as a Shrek Academy student, okay?"
Huo Yuhao's gaze became somewhat confused. He nodded, then shook his head.
"Let me make this clear beforehand: I don't want to do things that I'm unwilling to do, and no one can make me do them. But this time, I can make an exception. Not for the glory of Shrek Academy, but out of respect for the art of battle."
Wang Yan gave a wry smile and said in a low voice, "That's enough, thank you."
Then his gaze swept over the few people who had come onto the stage, and he said in a deep voice, "Give it your all, don't hold back, for the glory of Shrek!"
A figure dressed in a green robe sat in a corner of the stands. His view wasn't great, but he could still see the stadium.
However, his gaze was not on the competition stage, but on Huo Yuhao in the Shrek Academy rest area.
"I must see carefully whether this little fellow is qualified to bear the seed of the original body—"

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Island, the underground space of the Golden Tree.
goo—
The belly's cry for justice was exceptionally loud in this quiet, dark space.
Xuanzi had no choice but to tighten the clothes wrapped around her waist again, trying to alleviate the unbearable torment.
With the cultivation level of a level 98 Super Douluo, even if he didn't eat for half a year, he wouldn't starve to death, but for Taotie, it was truly a torment worse than death.
Although he was so hungry that his eyes were blurry, Old Mu was right: when your stomach is empty, your mind will think about more things.
