Chapter 150 Huo Yuhao activates Amaterasu! Instantly kills three!
[The video continues to play on the screen.]
Just as the Shrek Academy team and the Zheng Tian Academy members lined up on opposite sides of the arena, preparing to enter the "Realm of Order," the referee standing on one side of the podium suddenly stepped forward, solemnly unfurling a scroll of order decrees personally signed by Bai Xuanzi.
"To provide the Shrek Academy students with a greater challenge, the Sea God Pavilion has decided that additional rules will be implemented for the Shrek Academy team during the elimination rounds of this Soul Master Competition."
The referee's voice, amplified by the soul-guided megaphone, resounded throughout the arena: "In the first round of the elimination tournament, the Shrek Academy team is only allowed to send one student onto the field per match. If a second student enters the arena, the Shrek Academy team will be considered to have automatically forfeited and lost."
These words shocked the Soul Masters of the Underworld.
The discussions about the level eleven soul tool vanished instantly, replaced by an almost absurd sense of disbelief.
"This is outrageous! This isn't confidence, this is blatant disregard for the geniuses of the entire continent." A leader of a sect in the underworld suddenly stood up, his expression filled with shock.
"This rule is completely unreasonable! It's like requiring Shrek Academy students to be able to take on seven opponents at once."
The Soul Masters of the Underworld began to quickly compare the raw strength of both sides.
In the White World, Huo Yuhao and his group were just twelve-year-old first-year students, with their cultivation levels generally around level forty.
Their opponents, Zhengtian Academy, a top-ranked academy across the continent, sent a team of top-performing students with an average age of over eighteen.
Three Soul Kings and four Soul Masters. This accumulation of Soul Power levels is enough to crush any peer under normal circumstances.
Even if Bai Huoyuhao is exceptionally talented, his chances of winning against seven experienced starters alone without team support are practically zero in the eyes of the underworld.
"Was it really necessary to go this far?" a student from the Black World's inner court muttered to himself.
"While putting pressure on trainees to better train them is understandable, isn't this going too far?"
Meanwhile, Hei Xuanzi, sitting in the shadows, let out a harsh laugh.
He stared intently at the composed Bai Xuanzi in the sky, his eyes filled with twisted malice.
"Arrogant and conceited! They simply don't know their own limitations!" Hei Xuanzi slammed his hand on the table.
"That old fool Bai Xuanzi, does he really think that teaching them a little something will make him oblivious to the difference in soul power levels?"
"One against seven? In all my years of leading teams, I've never seen such a suicidal fighting style. Just wait and see, White Shrek Academy is definitely going to suffer a crushing defeat this time!"
However, the external doubts did not disrupt the rhythm of the game.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Huo Yuhao calmly took a step forward.
He showed no dissatisfaction with Xuanzi's arrangement, remaining calm, and then stepped alone onto the sensing platform leading to the "Realm of Order."
As the beam of light descended, Huo Yuhao's consciousness instantly awoke in the mirrored dimension.
He stood in the center of the empty virtual arena, facing the seven selected members of Zhengtian Academy, arranged in a fan shape.
Huo Yuhao showed no arrogance; instead, he naturally performed a standard Soul Master salute to the members of Zheng Tian Academy.
Faced with this extreme sense of pressure, the captain and team members of Zhengtian Academy immediately composed themselves.
They didn't feel slighted because their opponent was only one person; instead, they all returned the salute in unison.
In the White World, Shrek Academy holds an unparalleled position and maintains absolute control over order; every Shrek student is a worthy opponent to be fought with all their might.
"Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao." Huo Yuhao looked up, a faint golden light swirling in his double pupils. "Please enlighten me."
"Zhengtian Academy, please enlighten me!"
"The match begins!" The referee's command fell like thunder.
As the official representative team, Zhengtian Academy perfectly demonstrated its combat skills at this moment.
They didn't let their guard down the slightest just because Huo Yuhao was alone; on the contrary, they immediately activated the most stringent combat linkage.
[Shangguan Can, acting as a support Soul Master, made the first move. His Martial Soul was a peculiar Soul-Capturing Bell. As his first Soul Ring shone brightly, a series of clear bell sounds, carrying a solid buff of order, descended upon his teammates. The entire team's attack power and reaction speed instantly increased by thirty percent.]
[Immediately following, Zheng Tian Academy unleashed its full offensive capabilities.]
Tang Xiaolei stood behind, her longbow fully drawn, several arrows constructed from pure soul power slicing through the air, blocking all of Huo Yuhao's escape routes.
At the same time, Blood Wolf let out a shrill howl, his muscles bulged violently, and he transformed into a ferocious wolf spirit, using his explosive power to cut in from the left flank.
Yang Yifan, wielding a heavy sword-like martial spirit, moved with ghostly, elusive footwork, heading straight for Huo Yuhao's central palace.
[Range attacks, melee attacks, and support attacks—a three-pronged attack network instantly closed in.]
The people in the underworld watched this scene with great discussion. This airtight combined attack would be a certain death for any Soul Master. Even a Soul King would likely be severely injured instantly.
"With so many people attacking at the same time, what should Huo Yuhao do?"
"He didn't even activate his defensive soul skill! What is he thinking?"
Hei Xuanzi muttered curses under his breath in the rest area, his gaze greedily sweeping over the incoming attacks: "Go for it! Send him straight out of simulation mode! Let the whole continent see the joke on White Shrek!"
However...
Just as the Blood Wolf's claws were less than three feet from Huo Yuhao's face, Yang Yifan's heavy sword had already slashed down on his shoulder, and Tang Xiaolei's arrows were close to his vital points—
Huo Yuhao moved.
In that instant, his double pupils underwent a complete reorganization of order.
The dark gold patterns in those deep eyes suddenly transformed into an eerie and restrained blackish-red.
This was no ordinary mental detection; rather, it was a top-tier soul skill he had created after deeply comprehending the laws under Bai Xuanzi's guidance.
"Amitaras (Amaterasu)!"
There were no violent fluctuations in soul power, nor were there any warning signs.
The instant Huo Yuhao's gaze focused, clusters of pitch-black flames spontaneously appeared on Blood Wolf, Yang Yifan, and Tang Xiaolei.
This black flame, though lacking any intense heat, possesses an extremely terrifying ablative property. Like a persistent, insidious infection, it begins to devour the target's soul power the moment it comes into contact with it.
["ah--!"]
A scream erupted instantly. The Blood Wolf's prized wolf-transformation defense was like paper before the black flames, burned right through it.
Yang Yifan's heavy sword vaporized the instant it touched the flames. Tang Xiaolei's arrow was completely dissolved into nothingness by the black flames in mid-air.
[With the precise feedback from the level eleven soul tool "Boundary of Order," this soul-stirring burning sensation was realistically transmitted to the three of them.]
In just one second, the three main team members, whose soul power far surpassed Huo Yuhao's, were unable to even make any further moves before their simulated bodies reached their breaking point under the erosion of the black flames.
[A flash of light and shadow, and the three figures were instantly ejected from the simulation by the Realm of Order.]
On the field, only Huo Yuhao, still standing with his hands behind his back, and the remaining four members of Zheng Tian Academy, completely stunned and shrouded in fear, remained.
