Douluo's ice devil Yuhao

Chapter 599 Shrek Academy Participates

For the next two or three days, Huo Yuhao and Mingdou Academy prepared for the battle at the hotel.

Information is the key to formulating tactics. In front of Huo Yuhao, it doesn’t matter whether the opponent is deliberately hiding their strength or bluffing. He can accurately grasp the position of each player on the opponent’s team and choose the most reasonable countermeasure.

Most of the top members of the Mingdou team are Soul Kings and Level 5 Soul Masters who are just over level 50. They are still somewhat different from Soul Emperors. However, Ning Yuan and a few other outstanding Soul Masters are equipped with the most advanced individual Soul Guidance Technology of Mingdou Academy - the humanoid Soul Guidance Device.

As part of Project Zero, which Mingde Hall once invested heavily in, the humanoid soul tool, also known as a soul-guided mecha, was developed by Mingde Hall and Mingde Academy in two directions after Huo Yuhao salvaged all the research manuscripts in the explosion. It was eventually successfully developed and put into use.

Ning Yuan's mecha was personally developed under the guidance of Xuan Ziwen. It is a perfect match for Ning Yuan and is a level 5 soul tool. Whether it is attack, defense or speed, it can help Ning Yuan strengthen to the level of a strong attack type soul king. Combined with the amplification of his Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, his strength is considerable.

In addition, thanks to the built-in several sealed baby bottles, the mech also boasts impressive battery life.

Because of the sealed baby bottle, the qualification requirements for Soul Masters are greatly reduced, and Ning Yuan can even directly control level six or even level seven Soul Guidance Mechs.

Huo Yuhao was talking to Huo Qiu'er about the development of Mingdou Academy and Soul Guidance Technology over the years, which made the team members very puzzled about the identity of this suddenly appearing woman and how she could so naturally join their team.

But no one asked aloud. Instead, they seized the time to make final adjustments to their soul tools and mental and physical states, as the group stage would begin immediately once registration closed.

Huo Qiu'er pondered, "If that's the case, why not just equip them with higher-level humanoid soul tools? Wouldn't that increase our chances of winning?"

Huo Yuhao explained, "Teacher Xuan and I both think this is too radical and puts too much strain on the Soul Masters. It can easily have significant side effects on both the body and mental strength, especially for a support-type Soul Master like Ning Yuan, whose physical abilities are average."

Huo Qiu'er gave a light "oh": "It seems you care about your students quite a bit."

She paused for a moment, then asked, "Can you remotely control their humanoid soul tools to fight?"

Huo Yuhao gave Huo Qiu'er a strange look, seemingly without answering, but in fact he had already answered her.

To be honest, he no longer needs to use violence to demonstrate his strength, but he is eager to prove his construction and development philosophy, and the young students of Mingdou Academy are his achievements. He does not want to use self-deceiving means to show off his power.

Qianfeng walked to his side and asked, "Will I be able to play?"

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Of course, the pressure in the group stage is not high, and you will have opportunities to perform."

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the hotel, which the team members in the suite could hear clearly.

What's going on?

Some team members looked out the window and saw that the street was crowded with people, all facing the same direction.

That was also an academy team that came to participate in the competition. Each member was dressed in the same dark green clothes. No one rode a horse or drove a carriage. They looked very simple, but they became the focus of everyone's attention. The scene was even more spectacular than when Prince Xuelan returned to the city a few days ago.

Cheers erupted from the crowd: "Shrek! Shrek!"

The onlookers were filled with reverence and longing; this team was none other than the renowned Shrek Academy.

As soon as their team arrived at the hotel entrance, Prince Xue Lan emerged from the hotel and warmly greeted the Shrek Academy team, chatting and laughing with their instructor. Huo Yuhao walked to the window, his calm gaze fixed on the Shrek team.

Huo Qiu'er walked to his side and asked, "How strong is Shrek's team?"

"Five Soul Emperors, and it seems there's only one below Soul King. What a luxurious lineup," Huo Yuhao couldn't help but exclaim.

The Shrek team is clearly mostly composed of inner court students and senior students, with their ages kept as close to twenty as possible. There are very few young students who have accumulated experience with the team like in previous years.

It's clear that Shrek Academy takes this competition very seriously, showing no signs of underestimating their opponents, and fielding their most formidable team.

Shrek Academy has indeed been impacted in recent years, but its foundation should not be underestimated. It remains a top academy with the best students in the entire continent.

With five Soul Emperors, they would be contenders for the championship in any major tournament. It's no exaggeration to say that the only team that could defeat the Shrek Academy team was the Shrek Academy team from another tournament.

It will be quite difficult for Mingdou Academy to defeat such a Shrek team.

"Today is the registration deadline, it's like they're waiting for Shrek Academy on purpose," Huo Qiu'er said casually. "Have you heard anything about them?"

"What news?" Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled.

"Isn't your mental detection range quite extensive? I heard that before I came."

Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "My mental detection does have a wide range and low consumption, but I don't turn it on all the time, and I don't have the special fetish of monitoring the privacy of all the people in the city after turning it on."

Huo Qiu'er snorted: "It is said that they were late this time because they were completing a mission for the Shrek Inspection Team. They wiped out a group of bandits who were committing crimes on the border of the Douling Empire and saved several villages, which is why they were late."

Does this feel familiar?

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and murmured, "Yes, it feels so familiar."

It's another story of heroic deeds fighting for justice before a major competition. Although it's cliché, it's a great way to boost reputation.

Huo Yuhao didn't want to criticize Shrek Academy's bandit suppression efforts themselves. He believed that actions mattered more than intentions; if a group of wicked bandits were truly eliminated, it was a good thing regardless of their motives.

He checked on the Shrek team's condition; everyone was in high spirits, and no one looked seriously injured. The Shrek Inspection Team's mission this time was relatively easy.

Huo Yuhao didn't recognize the teacher leading the team today, nor could he sense the aura of Elder Xuan or any other Title Douluo. However, he was certain that a Shrek Academy expert had already arrived in Lingdou City, and their most likely location was in the Douling Imperial Palace.

"Shrek Inspection Team..." Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.

He wasn't worried about the battle with Shrek Academy; he was thinking about something more important.

Huo Yuhao's gaze shifted to Qianfeng. It was highly likely that Shrek Academy would use Qianfeng's identity to attack him, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to vindicate people like Qianfeng to the world.

While pondering, he took out his communication soul tool and dialed a signal to Mingdou Academy.
