Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 107 Proud Traditional Soul Masters
Seeing Huo Yuhao's appearance as a little fox in rabbit skin, Elder Xuan's heart skipped a beat, but he calmly asked, "What question do you have?"

"Is the selection of starting players based solely on ability?"

Elder Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "So what if it is?"

Huo Yuhao suddenly turned his gaze to Chen Zifeng and said, "I think my strength is a bit stronger than this senior's. We happen to be both offensive types, so why don't we have a match to try? Whoever wins gets the starting team spot."

Chen Zifeng: "???"

Honestly, Huo Yuhao genuinely wanted to help him. He had painstakingly cultivated for nearly twenty years, only to be blown up and reduced to a one-legged swordsman—old enough to be paired with Yang Guo! For a power-attack type genius like him, this ending might be even more painful than that of Yao Haoxuan, the minor character who died in the original story!

Since that's the case, it's better to give up the position to myself. With Chen Zifeng's strength, he can protect these substitute players from the back and keep them away from the core of the explosion. That should be enough to keep his leg, right? Moreover, with his strength, if he can grow in the future, he will be a good help to me.

As for Xixi, she's not good-looking and not very strong either. In Huo Yuhao's opinion, she's definitely not as important as Chen Zifeng.
Huo Yuhao had a very clear understanding of himself. He was going to be a match for Tang Shenwang in the future, and he had to secure a powerful ally like Shrek Academy. Based on his understanding of Elder Xuan, he knew that without a painful lesson, Elder Xuan would definitely stick to his own methods. However, given Elder Xuan's strength and seniority, and his position as a high-ranking member of Shrek Academy, although they were somewhat acquainted, their relationship was clearly insufficient.

We must make Elder Xuan realize his own position. He can only be a fierce general, while I am the brain that will make Shrek Academy's decisions in the future!
Therefore, the corpse explosion is a must, but the ending can be modified. For example, the seriously injured or even dead person can be replaced by the big white tiger. Ma Xiaotao must be protected, as she is really good to me.

As for the others, since they are unwilling to use defensive soul tools and insist on keeping the pride of a soul master in their hearts like an ancestral tablet, then they still have to pay some price and learn some lessons. As long as the final outcome is not lifelong disability, I have already done right by them.

Huo Yuhao meant well, but as soon as he said that, Chen Zifeng and the others immediately regarded him as an arrogant young man who thought he was something special. In addition, they had heard the rumors of "the strongest freshman in history" and "one tyrant and three beauties" in the outer academy recently, so their eyes on Huo Yuhao suddenly became sharp.

Even if you have amazing talent and have cultivated to the Soul King level at the age of 12, don't forget that we are the real Soul Kings. You are still missing a ring! How dare you look down on us inner court disciples like this?

Ma Xiaotao, standing beside him, had no such sense of shared hatred. She was simply curious: given this kid's lazy nature, why would he suddenly think of vying for a regular member's position? If he really wanted to show off, he would have already gone to get his soul rings and broken through to the Soul King level, then swept through the outer courtyard in a grand manner, and then rushed into the inner courtyard to openly challenge. A regular member's position wouldn't be difficult for him, right?

Elder Xuan's face darkened. He really didn't dare let Huo Yuhao and Chen Zifeng fight. Based on his understanding of Huo Yuhao, this guy still had two unused soul bones! And that fourth soul skill was also a mystery. Even if Chen Zifeng was a genuine "made in Shrek" power-attack type soul king, he might not be able to win easily if Huo Yuhao used all his trump cards!

Moreover, given Huo Yuhao's nature of not easily suffering losses, the fact that he dared to take the initiative to challenge Chen Zifeng means that he is confident in defeating him!

Moreover, Elder Xuan believed he had a longer-term vision. Huo Yuhao was a secret weapon reserved for the next Soul Battle Tournament. If he were to appear as a regular member this year, revealing too much of his strength, it would give other academies, especially the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, five years to prepare for him, which would be a huge loss. Shrek Academy's honor could not be compromised, and even the slightest risk had to be nipped in the bud! "Huo Yuhao, don't be reckless! Regular members are selected by the inner academy as is customary. Even if you are strong, as a second-year student, you still have a lot to learn! This tournament is a good opportunity for you to see what kind of combat power the truly top-tier Soul Masters of the same level possess—a level that cannot be achieved with just a Soul Tool!" Elder Xuan reprimanded in a low voice.

When talking about the power of traditional Soul Masters, even the wrinkles on Elder Xuan's face seemed to exude pride, a belief that came from the bottom of his heart.

The Dai Yueheng and others beside him also had the same arrogant expression on their faces. It seemed that for them, as elites of Shrek Academy, their own strength was the most reliable and the most worthy of pride.

Only Ma Xiaotao glanced apologetically at Huo Yuhao. Because of her years of interaction with Huo Yuhao, her views on soul tools had changed to some extent under his influence. However, due to her own powerful talent and strength, she rarely used any other soul tools besides her flying soul tool, storage soul tool, and baby bottle.

In her previous sparring sessions with Huo Yuhao, she accepted the conclusion that soul tools greatly enhance the abilities of low- to mid-level soul masters, but she still believed that the usefulness of soul tools would be significantly reduced for high-level soul masters and even those above the Title Douluo level.

Since Huo Yuhao can't provide any real-world examples to refute her, it's really difficult to change her mind.

As for pure traditional soul masters like Dai Yueheng, they look down on soul tools even more.

Huo Yuhao sighed. After all, Elder Xuan had helped him a lot, and he couldn't just confront him directly. After all, Elder Xuan didn't actually have any ill intentions towards him; it was just that due to his narrow-mindedness, he couldn't see the progress of the times, and the enormous role of soul tools had been largely overshadowed by his own powerful soul master talent.

Given that they can roam freely across the continent without relying on any external aids, how many people can still calmly reflect on the development path of a Soul Master like Mu En? You must know that one of the biggest reasons why the Sun Moon Continent has cultivated the path of Soul Masters so deeply is that their Soul Masters generally have poor talent!
Even their soul beast resources are far inferior to those of Douluo Continent. They lack talent and their soul rings are subpar, but they are rich in mineral resources. It is under these circumstances that Sun Moon Continent was forced to find another way and pursue the path of soul master. If they were given the same resources as Douluo Continent, would they still be determined to invest heavily in developing soul tools? That's a big question mark!
"Alright, Elder Xuan, I understand." Huo Yuhao gave Chen Zifeng a pitiful look, his expression returning to calm.

As the old saying goes, it's useless to teach someone ten times, but it's enough to teach them once.

Since you're so confident, then let the strongest Soul King in history shatter your pride.

If you fail to keep up with the times, falling behind will not only lead to being attacked, but may also result in being bombed!
