Douluo: Huo Yuhao Returns from Devouring the Stars

Huo Yuhao looked at Dai Hao on the top of the city wall. A hint of coldness flashed in his deep blue eyes, and his fists clenched unconsciously.

"Yuhao, what's wrong?"

Meng Hongchen followed Huo Yuhao's gaze and saw Duke White Tiger standing on the top of the city wall, looking at the entire stadium with a cold expression.

"I didn't expect that the White Tiger Duke who guards the western border of the Xingluo Empire is here. It seems that today's match is destined to be bloody." Huo Yuhao said in a serious tone.

Meng Hongchen gathered her cascading silver hair and said calmly, "Duke Baihu's eldest son, Dai Yueheng, and youngest son, Dai Huabin, will both represent Shrek Academy in the competition. As the future hope of Duke Baihu's mansion, Duke Baihu has come all the way back to watch the competition. It seems he has high hopes for both Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin."

"Isn't this better? Later, we will beat up Dai Yuheng and Dai Huabin in front of him. His expression will definitely be interesting!" Xiao Hongchen said coldly with his hands in his pockets.

"That makes sense. I've long wanted to teach a lesson to those people from the Star Luo Empire who are targeting us openly or secretly. When the game starts, don't compete with me for it!" Meng Hongchen said lightly.

"Then leave the others to me. I have long wanted to show my strength!" Xiao Hongchen said coolly.

"Let's go, we're going to fall behind."

Huo Yuhao nodded, then led the substitute players to follow the regular players including Ma Rulong.

With a nervous and excited mood, Dai Yuheng, who was chosen to lead the team, slowly walked towards the Shrek preparation seat with the Shrek Team's glorious army under the watchful eyes of the crowd. He looked at his extremely respected father, Duke White Tiger, on the top of the city wall, with excitement burning in his eyes and his fists clenched, as if he was ready to show his skills in front of his father, Duke White Tiger.

The Duke of White Tiger on the top of the city nodded slightly at him, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes, and then the Duke of White Tiger shifted his gaze elsewhere and no longer paid attention to him.

Although the Duke of White Tiger only glanced at Dai Yuheng, just this one glance ignited a burning desire to fight in the heart of Dai Yuheng, who had regarded the Duke of White Tiger as his role model since childhood. He secretly vowed to perform well and let his father see his efforts over the years!

He will surely lead the Shrek team to defeat the Sun-Moon Royal Team, win the championship, and spread the prestige of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion!

Dai Huabin, one of the substitute players who also received encouragement from Dai Hao, couldn't help but hold Zhu Lu's hand tightly. A fierce fighting spirit surged in his tiger eyes. He couldn't wait to go on the court and sweep the Sun and Moon Royal Team out!

"Father, I've finally waited for this day! The Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition is my chance to prove to you that I, Dai Huabin, am a prodigy worthy of the title of Duke of White Tiger!" Dai Huabin almost growled in his heart.

The position of Duke White Tiger, who holds great power in the imperial army and is second only to the emperor, is exactly what he had aspired to pursue since he was young!

Now, he has been booked as the next Shrek Seven Devils, and as a substitute player of the Shrek team, he occupies a position that only regular players are qualified for. He represents Shrek Academy to fight against the Sun and Moon Royal Team and defend the eternal glory of Shrek!

The achievements made before are certainly worthy of recognition, but only by shining brightly on the field and showing amazing strength and talent can it be more convincing!

Dai Huabin held his head high, his heart filled with fighting spirit, and was also ready to show his skills!

After the Sun-Moon Royal Team and the Shrek Team entered their respective reserve seats, the thunderous applause and cheers slowly died down.

The Xingluo Royal Guards who were maintaining order in the stadium shook the long spears in their hands, turned around and half-knelt down to face Xu Jiawei on the top of the city wall, waiting for orders.

Seeing that both teams had entered their respective preparation seats, Xu Jiawei's solemn face finally revealed a hint of a smile, and he nodded to the White Tiger Duke beside him.

Dai Hao, whose face was filled with relief and anticipation because of Dai Yaoheng and Dai Huabin, nodded and said in a deep voice, "Silence! The competition is about to begin. Your Majesty, please speak."

Duke White Tiger did not use any soul guide loudspeaker, but his voice resounded throughout the entire stadium. The terrifying iron-blooded aura spread from the top of the city, like a dormant tiger king growing his hair!

"Kill—kill—kill—!" The Xingluo Royal Guards raised their long spears high, looked respectfully and sincerely at Xu Jiawei on the top of the city with a serious face, and shouted.

In an instant, the entire Xingluo Square was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere. Everyone fell silent in this solemn and murderous atmosphere, waiting for Xu Jiawei to speak.

Xu Jiawei looked at the crowded Xingluo Square and said with a smile:

"The last time the Continental High-Level Spirit Master Competition was held in my Star Luo was twenty years ago. At that time, I was still a young man. I hope to contribute my humble efforts to restore the glory of Star Luo, and I will fight for it my whole life!"

"Time flies like an arrow, days and months pass by like a shuttle. Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Continental High-Level Soul Master Competition is being held again in Xingluo. Now that I am the ruler of the empire, I am still working hard to forge the glory of the empire..."

Xu Jiawei's powerful words echoed in everyone's ears, conveying to the people his determination and actions to restore the glory of Xingluo. Under his passionate speech, countless Xingluo people were shocked, and their eyes were filled with fanaticism.

Xu Jiawei paused and continued, "Today is the first match between the quarterfinals and the semifinals of this competition. It's also the match between the Shrek team, the previous champion of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Competition, and the Sun-Moon Royal Team, who ranked second in the millennium. Therefore, I have arranged a match for them that is comparable to the standards of the finals."

"I originally wanted to ask Brother Dai Hao to officiate today's match, but unfortunately, one of the main players on the Shrek Academy team is his eldest son, and another is his youngest son on the bench. To avoid suspicion and ensure the fairness of this match, the referee will be Tiansha Douluo!"

"I will not say anything more. Now, please join me in enjoying this match that is comparable to the finals."

As soon as Xu Jiawei finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out in the audience. The applause only subsided after Xu Jiawei raised his hand to signal. The royal guards who were half-kneeling in the arena stood up one after another and continued to maintain order in the arena.

During this period, nearly 200,000 local spectators from Xingluo in the audience shouted the names of Dai Yuheng and Dai Huabin. The fan club-like audiences hired by the Zhu and Dai families at a high price held up signs with the names of Dai Yuheng, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu engraved on them to cheer for them.

From the Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei and the White Tiger Duke to the two hundred thousand or so spectators from the Douluo Three Kingdoms, almost all of them were cheering for the Shrek Team. The Sun and Moon Royal Team, which came from afar and had a strained relationship with the Douluo Three Kingdoms, had only a very small number of spectators supporting them.

Before the game even started, the scene was already filled with the image of the Shrek team winning a resounding victory.

However, all the members of the Sun and Moon Royal Team, who had been mentally prepared, were not affected at all. Instead, they became even more feared.

Because in their hearts, there is an ending that is more exciting than the beginning of the story.

When everything was ready, a ray of light suddenly flashed from the top of the city wall, and the next moment it appeared in the center of the competition stage.

The visitor was the referee appointed by Xu Jiawei to preside over this match, Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu.

Chapter 95 Appear!

The person who came was the referee appointed by Xu Jiawei to preside over this match, Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu.

However, just as Huang Jinxu was about to land, the ground suddenly shook. He looked towards the Shrek preparation area in shock and found a sloppy old man holding a wine jug and drinking!

Huang Jinxu frowned, thinking, could it be that Shrek Academy's strongest person, Taotie Douluo?!

It was because of Huang Jinxu's gaze that the Shrek Team and the Sun and Moon Royal Team noticed the arrival of the sloppy old man gnawing on a chicken leg.

"Master Xuan, you are here." Wang Yan said rather coldly.

Xuan Zi pulled out a greasy chicken drumstick from somewhere, looked at the Sun Moon Royal Team's preparation area with a sharp gaze, and said vaguely, "According to the previously formulated tactics, you command as you wish. Just pretend that I don't exist."

"With me in charge, the Liangriyue Royal Team won't dare to act rashly."

After saying that, Xuan Zi started eating and drinking, taking bites of chicken leg and sips of fine wine. Occasionally, he would wipe his greasy hands on the greasy and smelly clothes, causing countless viewers to frown and cover their faces.

When he saw Xuan Zi, Yu Yu only raised his eyebrows slightly, without any shock or worry on his face.

In the Shrek team information he had previously investigated, there was information about Xuan Zi, who seemed to be the strongest person in Shrek Academy and was accompanying to protect the Shrek team. He was extremely impressed by Xuan Zi, so he recognized him the moment he saw Xuan Zi.

Yu Yu was impressed by Xuan Zi not because of his super combat power, but because of the strange rumor circulating in the inner courtyard of Shrek that Xuan Zi played a role that was almost like an evil soul master in Shrek Academy, as well as his extremely protective and hypocritical behavior.

He naturally understood the purpose of Xuanzi's coming here, but unfortunately they were well prepared and were not afraid of this Super Douluo who was at level ninety-seven or even ninety-eight.

In a corner of the audience.

A masked tall figure looked at Xuan Zi who was sitting in the Shrek preparation area and could not help but murmured, "Xuan Zi, it seems that my choice was right."

In a more inconspicuous corner.

An ordinary-looking old man stared at Ma Xiaotao in the Shrek preparation area for a few seconds. A gleam of light flashed in his black gemstone-like pupils, and an expectant look appeared on his face. He continued to lean in the corner and drink an iced drink.

Huang Jinxu, standing on the stage, suppressed the shock on his face and said solemnly, "The first match of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Competition, the Shrek team will face the Sun-Moon Royal team. I, Huang Jinxu, will be the referee. Now, I will announce the rules of this match."

Although the two teams are already familiar with the rules of the competition for advancing from the quarterfinals to the semi-finals, they still have to make a solemn announcement according to the competition process and sequence.

"The qualifying rounds are divided into team and individual rounds. In the team round, each team will select seven players to compete. The winning team can then select seven players from the following individual rounds. Winning only three matches will secure victory, and the other team will be completely eliminated from the tournament!"

"The team that loses the team competition must choose three players to defeat the other team's seven players in the following individual competition to win the final victory and advance to the semi-finals!"

Huang Jinxu paused and said seriously, "The safety of both players in this match is the responsibility of this referee. If I discover that a fatality has occurred on either side, I will intervene in the match. The player who benefited will be eliminated, but the remaining players will continue to compete."

"However, the competition is ever-changing, and this referee cannot guarantee the absolute safety of both participants. Therefore, we hope that both sides can exercise restraint during the competition. Participants who are in a disadvantageous situation can promptly surrender to avoid the referee's inattention or misjudgment."

Huang Jinxu looked around the competition arena and finally announced solemnly and seriously, "Now, both sides, get ready. In one minute, the players participating in the team competition will take the court!"

As the competition rules were announced, the atmosphere in the entire Xingluo Plaza suddenly became tense. Hundreds of thousands of spectators became completely silent. Everyone stared at the competition stage with wide eyes in excitement, as if they had forgotten to breathe.

Even if the game has not started yet, they don't want to miss any changes on the field.

Yu Yu stood up and faced the fourteen regular and substitute players. He said in a deep voice, "Everything should proceed according to the original plan. Pay attention to safety. If you feel unavoidable danger, withdraw from the game immediately. Don't force yourself to fight. Sun and Moon Royal Team, you will win!"

The fourteen regular and substitute players stood up simultaneously, stretched out their right hands to form a circle, and shouted in unison with high fighting spirit:

"The Sun and Moon Royal Team will win!"

As soon as the words fell, a tall figure suddenly appeared in the Sun and Moon Royal Team's preparation area, and a sincere and gentle voice slowly came, "Kids, come on."

Everyone looked shocked and looked in the direction of the sound. They found a tall old man wearing a mask sitting on the side of the preparation seat. Although the old man was wearing a mask, everyone could clearly feel the kind smile under the mask.

Yu Yu was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly showed respect on his face. When he was about to step forward, the old man stretched out his hand to signal him not to do so.

Among the fourteen substitute team members, only Huo Yuhao and the Hongchen siblings recognized the old man's true identity.

Wasn't the man sitting in the preparation area the same old man who had checked Huo Yuhao in to Luoshan Courtyard when he first entered the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Instructor Academy? Wasn't he the same old man he and Meng Hongchen had seen at the gate of the cherry blossom garden that time—Kong Deming?!

"The national treasure, the head of the worship hall, Kong Deming, is here to protect me personally?!"

Huo Yuhao looked at the old man on the preparation seat in great shock and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

Yu Yu had previously told them that Dean Jing Hongchen had secretly arranged for powerful security personnel to protect them, and in order to ensure his personal safety, Jing Hongchen also went to the Worship Hall in person. At that time, the head of the Worship Hall, Kong Deming, said that he would personally arrange his personal security.

Unexpectedly, Kong Deming arranged for him to protect him himself!

Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen beside Huo Yuhao couldn't help but glance at Huo Yuhao, then looked at each other, and saw the shock in each other's eyes and the even stronger and more intense fighting spirit!

Ma Rulong and others who did not know Kong Deming thought that Kong Deming was an imperial strongman sent by the academy to protect them and who did not want to reveal his true face. Therefore, although they were shocked, they could fully accept the sudden appearance of Kong Deming wearing a mask.

"Don't worry, I will protect you."

Kong Deming said in a hoarse voice.

Everyone nodded solemnly, and the last trace of worry in their hearts disappeared, replaced by an even more intense desire to fight!

On the other side, the members of the Shrek team also stood up and listened to Wang Yan's final arrangements.

After finishing everything, Wang Yan looked at Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng and nodded to them. The two of them nodded at the same time, indicating that they had received Wang Yan's final and most important reminder.

A minute passed quickly.

Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu watched the time carefully, not advancing or delaying it for a second: "Teamfight players from both sides, take the field."

Under the gaze of nearly 300,000 spectators, seven members of the Shrek team immediately walked out from the preparation area.

Walking in the front were Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, both Soul Emperors. Following behind them were Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Wang Dong from Tangshan, who possessed the martial soul fusion technique. The last one to walk out of the preparation seat was Ling Luochen, the Ice Attribute Controlling Soul King!

Chapter 96: Ci Er's defeat!

Seeing these seven people appear, the Sun and Moon Royal Team were not surprised at all, because all this was within Yu's expectations.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, seven members of the Sun-Moon Royal Team walked out one after another. They were Ma Rulong, Lin Xi, Huo Yuhao, Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, Chen Fei and Chen An. They entered the waiting area with high morale, waiting for the team battle to officially begin.

Seeing that it was these seven people who walked out of the Sun and Moon Royal Team, a look of everything being under control flashed across the faces of everyone in the Shrek Team, and the confidence in their eyes became stronger.

Above the city.

Xu Jiawei looked at White Tiger Duke Dai Hao and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what do you think of the Shrek team's arrangements?"

Dai Hao was extremely happy to find out that Dai Yuheng and Dai Huabin would be competing on stage together. He said with a bright smile:
