Du Weilun pondered, "That's also a powerful team; they've crushed everyone so far, with a record even more impressive than those of Dai Huabin's and Ning Tian's teams. Their opponents often have no chance to fight back."
"Furthermore, according to Teacher Wang Yan, although Huo Yuhao's first spirit ring is only ten years, its support effect is comparable to hundred-year or even thousand-year spirit rings, as if that ten-year soul ring is just a disguise for a thousand-year or even ten-thousand-year foundation underneath. His second and Third Soul Skills have yet to be used, and the Spirit Bones given as compensation were absorbed by Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, with their Soul Bone Skills also remaining unrevealed. Therefore, if they truly face Dai Huabin's team, the outcome is still uncertain."
Yan Shaozhe agreed, "Your analysis is sound. Besides, Huo Yuhao is also a member of the Axis Cult. Being able to travel with Furina, the Pope herself, his talent and strength must be extraordinary and cannot be judged by common logic—his spirit rings themselves have already exceeded the bounds of common logic."
Du Weilun suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Dean Yan, I heard you sent Xiaotao to the Extreme North Land to Cultivate. Is that true?"
Yan Shaozhe nodded. "It's true. The Evil Fire in Xiaotao's body is becoming increasingly difficult to suppress. The severe cold of the Extreme North Land might help her alleviate this condition. Moreover, that region is vast and sparsely populated, with a lower density of Soul Beasts than the Star Dou Great Forest, making it relatively safer and allowing her to Cultivate without distractions, releasing her Evil Fire to her heart's content."
Du Weilun's tone betrayed concern. "But that's the Extreme North Land... the three great kings of the far north are there, two of whom possess the Ultimate Ice attribute, and the other, the Titan Snow Demon King, is no less formidable than the Titan Giant Ape. They are all Vicious Beast-level existences. Isn't it too dangerous for Xiaotao?"
"That's why I've sent a Titled Douluo to follow her in secret, both for protection and supervision, to see if the Extreme North Land can truly suppress her Evil Fire and promote her Cultivation."
"Oh? Which Douluo?" Du Weilun asked curiously.
Yan Shaozhe waved his hand, not speaking plainly. "Don't ask too much about that."
In reality, there weren't many candidates within Shrek Academy who could accompany Ma Xiaotao to the Extreme North Land for Cultivation. After much thought, he had gone to plead with his old flame, Xian Liner. For this, he didn't hesitate to give away a ten-thousand-year soul bone from his personal collection and allocated extra funds for the Soul Tool Department before finally convincing her to help.
However, even if he didn't say it, Du Weilun would guess sooner or later—the Dean of the Soul Tool Department had suddenly vanished, and combined with what he had just said, anyone could figure out where she had gone.
While the two were talking, the matches in the arena below were ready. The referee's command rang out clearly, and the team members from both sides entered the stage one after another; the Semi-finals were about to begin. The broad assessment zone was like a miniature battlefield, with Soul Power faintly fluctuating and a slight air of tension permeating the atmosphere.
The spectator stands gradually grew quiet, and all eyes focused on the two figures about to clash—Furina and Dai Huabin. A confrontation that seemed lopsided yet was full of undercurrents was about to begin.
