Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

However, it's not as pessimistic as some might think.

At the very least, do your best and leave the rest to fate.

After all, losing to anyone is unacceptable, but losing to Shrek Academy is not shameful.

The only regret is that we were eliminated in the first round of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, which can be considered a small humiliation.

Taking a deep breath, the tall and robust Jiang Peng decisively stood up and walked towards the competition stage.

The Imperial Advanced Soul Master Academy team consists of one Soul Emperor, Jiang Peng, five Soul Kings, and one Soul Master.

They are considered a very strong team.

Those who can break through to the Soul King level before the age of twenty are generally exceptionally talented.

Even though the Shrek Academy team leader looked terrifyingly strong, Jiang Peng wasn't the type to back down from a fight. He was able to cultivate to the Soul Emperor level at such a young age to prove to Shrek Academy that being eliminated by them was the best decision Shrek Academy ever made.

It's truly fortunate that he didn't join Shrek Academy; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate to the Soul Emperor level at such a young age.

Although he possessed the powerful Heaven-Shaking Axe Martial Soul, unfortunately, he was unable to join Shrek Academy because he did not have a letter of recommendation from the city lord.

He is still able to break through to the Soul Emperor level.

This proves that a Soul Master's cultivation level depends entirely on personal practice and is not particularly related to the faction they belong to.

After all, all the academy can offer students is systematic management, food, clothing, housing, and assistance in hunting for spirit rings.

These are things that any college can do.

And there's not much difference at all.

The reason Shrek Academy is so strong is that it only accepts geniuses and does not allow those with low talent to lower Shrek Academy's college entrance rate.

Shrek Academy is indeed very strong, but it's the people who are strong, not the academy itself. Thinking about it that way, it's not so scary.

The first round of elimination matches is mostly team battles, testing the comprehensive cooperation ability of seven people. This is also the most common way of fighting spirits in the entire Douluo Continent.

After Jiang Peng and the others stood on their respective competition stages, Fang Yuan slowly stood up in the Shrek Academy rest area. Then, with an arrogant and domineering aura, he walked onto the competition stage, followed closely by the other two Soul Saint experts in the team, Ma Xiaotao and Ye Yunshang.

Both women exuded an aura of dominance, their hair moving freely behind them even without wind, displaying an extremely arrogant demeanor.

As for the remaining four Soul Emperors, although their auras were not as strong as theirs, their every move revealed a disdain for the Imperial Advanced Soul Master Academy.

In their eyes, Di'ao Advanced Soul Master Academy was a second-rate academy.

No, that's not quite right. In their eyes, all the Soul Master academies on Douluo Continent were second-rate.

As a student of Shrek Academy, I have the confidence to back it up.

Shrek's willingness to participate attracted everyone's attention, mainly because the golden dragon on Fang Yuan's body was too eye-catching, and the aura it exuded was at least at the ten-thousand-year level.

The referee's eyes held a hint of apprehension; even as a Soul Douluo-level expert, he sensed the extremely dangerous aura emanating from this Soul Beast.

Not to mention others.

Therefore, he needed to ask.

"This Shrek Academy team leader, the use of powerful pets in this Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament is not allowed. May I ask what your purpose is?"

The referee's voice was very loud, and there was no microphone on, so not only the students of the Di'ao Advanced Soul Master Academy team heard it, but everyone in the entire competition venue heard it.

They all pricked up their ears, eager to hear Fang Yuan's answer.

Although I don't care, since the referee has already asked, there's no big deal to answer.

"He is my martial spirit, connected to my heart; he cannot leave my body. What? Is this against the rules?"

Fang Yuan's voice was cold. Upon hearing it, the referee was shocked but could only manage an awkward smile.

"It's not against the rules, I was just asking a routine question."

"That's good. The competition can begin now."

Seeing the referee dawdling, Fang Yuan could only urge him on, since this match was a complete stomp.

He knew about the Di'ao Advanced Soul Master Academy.

In the original work, only one captain with the Heaven-Shaking Axe Martial Soul is a Soul Emperor, while the others are all Soul King level beings.

With this lineup, his dragons can easily crush everything.

What he really wanted to encounter were Huo Yuhao's other clones, or at the very least, the Temple of Destruction.

That's what makes the game more challenging.

Although Huo Yuhao didn't say anything or care, each of his clones wanted to distinguish between superior and inferior ones.

Using the excuse of who was born first is meaningless.

After all, the several clones were born not long apart and had a year to develop, so their starting lines were actually quite similar.

Therefore, being proud and arrogant, they naturally wanted to determine a winner, and this continent-wide elite Soul Master Tournament was the perfect stage.

They can fight to their hearts' content.

There's even a chance to fight the original body to a draw.

Let's see who's stronger and who's weaker.

Therefore, Fang Yuan naturally didn't take the Di'ao Advanced Soul Master Academy, a trash academy, seriously at all.

This academy is just there to make up the numbers; they're the losers who were eliminated in the first round.

The referee was somewhat displeased upon hearing Fang Yuan's words. After all, no one would feel good being reminded in a commanding tone by someone so young.

However, he couldn't afford to offend Shrek Academy, so he could only silently endure it and keep his composure.

"Alright, both sides, please make final adjustments to your positions. Once you are ready, the competition can begin."

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the Di'ao Advanced Soul Master Academy sprang into action, and at the same time, many advanced soul masters flew out from the direction of Xingluo Imperial City and arrived at the competition venue.

With their soul power injected, the 108 soul guidance pillars around the huge arena began to glow, forming a huge light shield that enveloped the entire arena.

This is the defensive soul guidance measure used in the competition to protect the audience. After all, soul masters have a wide variety of skills, and soul masters have countless cannon attacks. If someone accidentally flies out of the competition field and causes serious casualties, that would be a loss for their Star Luo Empire, and they would have to take full responsibility.

Therefore, defensive measures are essential.

With a series of buzzing sounds, all the epidemic prevention measures were in place, and both sides were ready in the center of the competition area.

Shrek Academy remained unmoved, with Fang Yuan still at the forefront, flanked by Ye Yunshang and Ma Xiaotao. The remaining four Soul Emperors stood in a row, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression. As for Di'ao Advanced Soul Master Academy, support and food-type Soul Masters provided support at the rear, while two defensive Soul Masters blocked their way. Jiang Peng and two other offensive Soul Masters stood in a row, directly facing the Shrek Academy members.

This is a very standard lineup, fundamentally different from Shrek Academy's long, single-file formation. Shrek Academy's lineup is a display of extreme self-confidence.

Jiang Peng knew why, and he also knew that there was a huge disparity in strength between him and the other party, but he just couldn't swallow this insult.

When he saw how arrogant Shrek Academy was, he felt a surge of anger.

So what if you're strong?
How could they treat them like this?
This time, he was determined to teach them a lesson and show Shrek Academy what it meant to be outmatched and to know that there are always people more capable than oneself.

Both sides had completed the adjustments to the case, and all preparations were in place. He was quite excited at that moment.

After all, this was the first match of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, which held extraordinary significance for him.

He took a deep breath, glanced at both sides again, and then shouted loudly.
"Now, I hereby announce that the match between Shrek Academy and Di'ao Advanced Soul Master Academy has officially begun."

……

After he finished speaking, the whole square became noisy, and the referee disappeared immediately. He would only reappear if someone's life was in danger during the match.

And it was precisely the instant he finished speaking.

Jiang Peng looked at the Shrek Academy students and shouted with boiling fighting spirit, "Brothers, activate your martial souls!"

After saying that, he took the lead and a terrifying aura emanated from his body. Then, a dark blue axe appeared in his hand. The axe was about the height of a person, with a very large axe head, and it exuded a very terrifying aura.

This is the Heaven-Shaking Axe.

Then, six spirit rings slowly rose from beneath his feet: two yellow, two purple, and two black—the optimal spirit ring combination.

Six spirit rings pulsed slowly behind him, radiating dazzling light and a terrifying aura.

Seeing that their captain had already released his martial soul and spirit rings, the other members of the Di'ao Advanced Soul Master Academy were not to be outdone and released their own martial souls as well.

The two offensive-type Soul Masters following Jiang Peng have a longsword and dual blades as their Martial Souls, respectively. Both of them are Soul Kings, and their Martial Souls have two yellow, two purple, and one black rings, which is also the best Martial Soul Ring combination.

The two defensive-type Soul Masters possess the Xuan Turtle and Golden Armor Shield, respectively. These are extremely powerful defensive Soul Masters, and the two also have the best Soul Ring pairing.

As for the last two support-type Soul Masters, one of them, a food-type Soul Master with a banana-shaped martial soul, is at the Soul Master level, while the other, a support-type Soul Master, has a flute as his martial soul and appears to be a control-type support-type Soul Master.

"Soul Emperor?"

"It's actually a powerful Soul Emperor?"

"hiss……"

"So scary!"

……

When they saw Jiang Peng's six spirit rings, the entire spectator stands erupted in excitement. They hadn't expected to see a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse in the very first match.

It's important to know that the Continental Elite Advanced Soul Master Tournament only allows participants under the age of twenty.

Reaching the Soul Emperor level at the age of twenty is the height of genius. In their eyes, only Shrek Academy could achieve this, but they actually witnessed it at the Di'ao Advanced Soul Master Academy.

This competition is truly full of hidden talents!
It seems Shrek Academy won't have an easy time winning this round either! Soul Emperor level, that can be said to be the ceiling for those under twenty years old.

I have never heard of anyone becoming a Soul Saint before the age of twenty.

What these uninformed viewers didn't know was that in the rest areas of other academies, the other teams were already observing a moment of silence for the Di'ao Advanced Soul Master Academy.

On the competition stage, after everyone from the Di'ao Advanced Soul Master Academy released their Martial Souls, they looked towards Shrek Academy, wanting to see just how big the gap was between them and Shrek Academy.

Fang Yuan and the others did not disappoint them, and they all activated their Martial Souls.

Their commotion was far greater than that of the Di'ao Advanced Soul Master Academy.

First up is Fang Yuan, whose aura is immediately overwhelming.

His golden dragon roared and then began to circle wildly, emitting a terrifying light that blinded everyone at the Di'ao Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Then, seven extremely exaggerated rings—two purple, two black, and three red—slowly rose from beneath his feet.

In particular, these three blood-red spirit rings exuded an extremely terrifying aura of ferocious beasts. These three powerful pressures even made the students of the Di'ao Advanced Spirit Master Academy feel suffocated.

But what made them feel suffocated was not just this oppressive aura. The visual impact of the spirit ring's color alone was enough to make them feel despair.

A hundred thousand year soul ring?
really!
And there are three?

Is this kind of spirit ring ratio really possible? It's understandable that the first two spirit rings absorb thousands of years of spirit rings, but starting from the third spirit ring, they absorb tens of thousands of years of spirit rings, and then the fifth spirit ring starts absorbing hundreds of thousands of years of spirit rings.

This is too exaggerated!
Above the Star Luo Imperial City, Xu Jiawei stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape.

Because he simply couldn't accept that such a monstrous genius existed in this world.

A 100,000-year-old spirit ring!

Even he didn't have it.

He was the ruler of a country, but he was not qualified to hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul ring. Even if he did hunt it down, he would not be able to absorb it.

A 100,000-year soul ring is a rare treasure, and one must have the means to absorb it.

To absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring, one must possess a powerful physique. The fact that this Shrek Academy leader was able to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring with his fifth spirit ring demonstrates just how strong his physical abilities are.

Now it seems he really underestimated this young master of the Sea God Pavilion. It looks like he should try to get to know him better in the future.

If even a worldly emperor like Xu Jiawei was so shocked, one can only imagine how shocked others must have been.

Everyone in the stands stood up, staring in shock at the three blood-red spirit rings in the center of the arena.

This dazzling red color represents a 100,000-year-old soul ring, and is also a symbol of power.

As for the other contestants, their faces were all numb.

They expected Shrek Academy to be strong, but they didn't expect it to be this strong.

A Soul Saint level expert, and he also has three 100,000-year soul rings.

How are they supposed to fight?
Hit him on the head?
If they were to face Shrek Academy in the future, they would definitely lose. It seems that this year's champion will once again be Shrek Academy.

With such a terrifying Soul Saint genius, Shrek Academy is already invincible.
