Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 41 Huo Yuhao's Core Position in Team Battles
"Oh, don't worry, don't worry. I'll use the cannonballs sparingly from now on. Once I get my fifth spirit ring, these will all be minor issues."

After all, the indiscriminate attack of the group is designed so that you have nowhere to hide and can only take the hit. The individual soul power consumption is huge, which means that the opponent group also has to use a lot of soul power for defense. It has its own characteristics compared to the breakthrough of a single person, so it is really hard to say which one is better or worse.

The three continued to face off against the advancing teams, and their teamwork became even stronger with each elimination match.

Although Xiao Hongchen wanted to show off, he was too embarrassed to turn the battle into his own personal show, so the three of them took turns fighting with the soul tools.

When it was the turn of the two siblings, Huo Yuhao stood behind them and helped them out. When it was his turn, he directly used his Soul Master abilities to fight. At most, when he encountered a senior level 5 Soul Master, he would take out the Ice Soul Spirit Chain to deal with it.

What should have been a proper Soul Guidance Competition turned into a Soul Battle by Huo Yuhao. The 3V3 Soul Guidance Team Battle also turned into a personal show for the three of them, leaving the many teachers and regular team members watching in astonishment.

Finally, the three-person team achieved their goal of tying for first place in this selection competition. With Lin Jiayi's announcement, the list of seven reserve team members from the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Master Academy to participate in the All-Continent Soul Battle Tournament was officially finalized.

Besides Xiao Hongchen and his sister, there's also Huo Yuhao, who has garnered much attention. To be honest, the other four reserve team members aren't that strong.

After the selection competition ended, the group was taken to the viewing area to meet the main team members and their mentor, Mr. Ma. The other eliminated students were reluctantly led away by their respective teachers.

Ma Rulong was the first to step forward, grinning at Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen, and extending his right hand.

"My name is Ma Rulong, and I am the captain of this Continental Soul Fighting Tournament. Congratulations on becoming a member of the reserve team."

Huo Yuhao naturally extended his hand and shook hands with Ma Rulong, as did the other reserve team members.

Xiao Hongchen, this kid is a troublemaker, so his actions can't be judged by common sense.

"Oh, you're the captain of the official team. So you're very strong?"

Upon hearing this, Mika, Chen Fei, and the other regular team members were all taken aback. Before coming here, they had learned a lot about Xiao Hongchen, and sure enough, he was a difficult guy to get along with.

"Well, you could say that."

Xiao Hongchen smiled and said, "If I defeat you, can I take your place and become the captain?"

Both of them were students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. How could Xiao Hongchen and Ma Rulong not have met? The reason they were saying this now was just to show their difference. After all, I, Lord Xiao Hongchen, am a genius.

The Hawthorne effect suggests that people always like to show their unique side in pursuit of self-esteem and a sense of belonging. In short, it's all about being a show-off.

Meng Hongchen couldn't stand it anymore, and the blow to the back of the head came as expected, instantly destroying the tense atmosphere that Xiao Hongchen had managed to maintain.

"You idiot, stop fooling around!"

Huo Yuhao didn't have time to deal with this brat causing trouble, and walked over to Jing Hongchen and Lin Jiayi.

"Dean, Director."

Jing Hongchen chuckled and adjusted his glasses. When he was out, he always presented himself as a dignified and composed old man. In his own words, this was the only way to show his authority.

"Yuhao, congratulations on becoming a reserve team member."

As he spoke, he looked at his grandson and Ma Rulong, who were locked in a fierce argument, and hardened his fist.

"Congratulations to you as you will be representing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the Continental Soul Battle Tournament. Remember, you will be representing the glory of the Empire."

"I hope everyone can put away their arrogance and unite as one in the upcoming competition, giving their all to help the Empire achieve glory."

"."

Xiao Hongchen looked down at the ground, his hands unconsciously clenching his thumbs. Was Grandpa talking about me?
After Jing Hongchen finished his inspiring speech, Lin Jiayi stood up.
"Ahem, although the roster has been finalized, there are still two months until the competition. The main players have gone through a long period of adjustment, but the reserve team members are not yet familiar with each other."

"Therefore, in the coming period, before the holidays, I hope you can have plenty of time to work together and get to know each other."

"The specific method is that the academy has decided to have you form teams with the regular team members in a cross-team format for 7v7 team battles, with 3-2-2 coordinated attacks. This is also the fastest way for you to integrate into the competition teams." Upon hearing this, the regular team members remained calm, while the other members of the reserve team, apart from Huo Yuhao and the Hongchen siblings, all had different expressions.

There was no other way but to bite the bullet and go for it.

As the dean, Jing Hongchen said a few words of encouragement and then fell silent, leaving the rest to Lin Jiayi and the team leader, Teacher Ma, while looking at everyone present with a smile.

Lin Jiayi said to the reserve team members: "Without further ado, I know you have just gone through a series of battles, but time waits for no one. Use the Soul Guidance Milk Bottle to recover your soul power, and we will have three 7V7 team battles in a mixed team later."

The selected team members were extremely excited, while the other trainees in the reserve team were wailing in despair.

Xiao Hongchen smiled and moved closer to Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, if we're not on the same team later, could you not use the shared mental detection on them?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Jiayi grabbed Xiao Hongchen by the collar with a stern face and led him away.

Soon, as the reserve team members' soul power recovered, the results of the first team formation were announced.

Ma Rulong, Lin Xi, Chen Fei, Huo Yuhao, Meng Hongchen, and two other reserve team members form a team.

Mika, Chen An, Xiao Xiafeng, Li Yan, Xiao Hongchen, and two other reserve team members form a team.

"Ma Rulong, a level seven Soul Master specializing in close-combat burst damage, Martial Soul..."

"Mika, a level six ranged mobile Soul Master, whose Martial Soul is..."

"Huo Yuhao, Martial Soul: Spirit Eye, Soul Power Level 29"

Laughing at the World

After exchanging brief introductions about their martial spirits and soul power levels, Lin Jiayi announced the start of the battle without giving either side time to develop a strategy, and then took out his data to record the information.

"The first 7v7 team battle begins!"

At Lin Jiayi's command, everyone immediately spread out.

Alright, now it's time for the much-anticipated pre-match trash talk segment.

On the opposing team, the one responsible for consistent damage output is still our troublesome Mr. Xiao Hongchen.

Meanwhile, Meng Hongchen, standing beside Huo Yuhao, uttered a single word, "Pretend to be a dead guy," which made the "little devil" see stars and lose his ability to fight.

The game officially begins.

Huo Yuhao was very clear about his role: to control the entire field and provide his teammates with a god-like perspective, commonly known as cheating.

Meanwhile, the other regular team members, including Ma Rulong, Lin Xi, and Chen Fei, who were on the same team as Huo Yuhao, could hardly contain their emotions when they looked at Huo Yuhao.

"Wow! What kind of amazing skill is that? It's so incredible, it's like having a god's-eye view!!"

"No wonder that kid Xiao Hongchen was so excited just now. Fighting in this state is simply a pleasure!"

"Holy crap, what the hell are they doing? I think the soul-guided bullets on my body can now achieve a 100% hit rate!"

Clearly, Huo Yuhao's actions immediately demonstrated his core position in the team battle.
