Emptiness. A lack of direction in life.
That was the first thought that entered the minds of everyone present, now that they were without the benefits of Spiritual Probe and Spiritual Sharing.
But then they quickly thought again: If they could participate in the Soul Master Tournament alongside Huo Yuhao, they could essentially have a cheat code throughout the competition. They could use Soul Tools to precisely target every opponent, giving them a little taste of the shock of Soul Tool plus cheat!
If they still couldn't win the championship, they might as well go buy some tofu and kill themselves!
Xiao Hongchen threw an arm around Huo Yuhao's shoulders and grinned widely. "Absolutely, Yuhao! No Soul Engineer can resist the allure of your Spiritual Probe and Sharing! Now that your spot on the team is secure, it's time to watch me perform! I'm going to knock everyone flat!"
Huo Yuhao had originally intended to be modest, but upon hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, he calmly removed the arm, and said as calmly as possible, "Good luck."
Huo Yuhao could clearly see the change in the expressions of the senior students. They had been immersed in the pleasure brought by his Spiritual Probe and Spiritual Sharing, but upon hearing Xiao Hongchen's boastful words, their eyes changed again.
It's undeniable that Xiao Hongchen's talent is indeed exceptionally high. But to say he'd beat everyone present, in front of all these people? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Did he really think he was invincible after becoming a Soul Emperor?
If Huo Yuhao instantly became everyone's desired partner, thanks to his Spiritual Probe and Sharing...
Then Xiao Hongchen had just demonstrated how to become another focal point with a single sentence, making everyone eager to give him a good beating!
Even Jing Hongchen rubbed his temples with a rather helpless expression. Xiao Hongchen, when will you ever learn to be more mature? Why do you always insist on drawing so much hatred?
He was clearly on good terms with Huo Yuhao. Why couldn't he learn from Huo Yuhao and be a bit more modest and low-key? Jumping around like that was just asking to get beaten up!
As Jing Hongchen announced the start of the selection, one after another of the senior students immediately challenged Xiao Hongchen, eager to defeat this arrogant guy.
Xiao Hongchen, in turn, didn't refuse anyone. He accepted every single challenge.
Although he didn't think he would lose, even if he did lose one or two matches, it wouldn't be a big deal.
The selection of participants for the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy wasn't as casual as Shrek's. They were looking at overall performance, not simply selecting people based on a so-called free-for-all brawl.
Although Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen had clearly agreed beforehand to include Ling Luochen as a formal contestant, she, after all, didn't have Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Probe and Spiritual Sharing, which were immediately recognized by everyone.
Moreover, Jing Hongchen had asked Ling Luochen's opinion beforehand, and Ling Luochen said she didn't need any special treatment.
Although she did want to personally slap the faces of the Shrek Academy's high-ranking officials who had arbitrarily oppressed her, she wouldn't have any complaints if she was eliminated due to insufficient strength.
Furthermore, thanks to the rewards from the diary copy, Ling Luochen was already a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse. Even facing the Soul Tool masters of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, with their numerous tactics, she absolutely wouldn't be eliminated!
Compared to going through the back door, Ling Luochen naturally preferred to defeat her competitors fairly and become one of the official contestants of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy!
Huo Yuhao, whose spot was already confirmed, stood by, watching the selection process, mainly just to keep company and watch the fun.
However, what Huo Yuhao didn't know was that it wasn't that no one had opinions about his spot being predetermined, but that those with opinions were Gu Yue Na, Meng Hongchen, Wang Dong'er, and Di Qiu'er.
They had originally planned to take this opportunity to give Huo Yuhao a good lesson, for daring to openly embrace and hug Xue Di, his nominal younger sister, but they were interrupted by Jing Hongchen. As a result, they could only vent their internal frustrations on others.
This truly made those senior students suffer, having to face the furious attacks of the beautiful girls.
Originally, these senior students had planned to take the opportunity to get closer to them, trying to capture the hearts of these girls. But they hadn't expected them to be more violent than the last, and before the senior students could even speak, they were beaten up.
Seeing this scene, Huo Yuhao felt a bit of a headache. He always felt that they were demonstrating to him, indicating that he might be even worse off than these senior students in the future.
For his own safety, Huo Yuhao quickly started writing in his diary.
Sigh! This is terrifying! Why are these people so violent? The prettier they are, the harder they hit? Forget it, I'll just stick to being a workaholic. For the sake of my safety, I absolutely cannot get too close to them!
Poor senior, he has no idea how terrifying women can be when they're serious!
After seeing these contents in the diary, the girls' moods only worsened.
What did he mean by "for the sake of my safety, I can't get too close to them?"
Do you think we're acting so violent because of who? Isn't it all because we saw you, you jerk, hugging Snow Emperor just now? And now you dare to say something like that.
So, you want to stay away from everyone and only hug Snow Emperor, is that it? Realizing this, the girls became even angrier and hit the seniors even harder.
For a moment, everyone present looked at them with fear. The seniors finally understood that although these girls were absolutely gorgeous, they were not to be trifled with! They're so violent once they start fighting, who can handle this?
This kind of gorgeous girl, let Huo Yuhao deal with her. They were not fortunate enough to enjoy her!
Zhang Lexuan watched the furious girls and shook her head helplessly. She walked to Huo Yuhao's side and said softly.
"Yuhao, Old Kong has started arranging the accompanying personnel and other arrangements. He asked me to tell you that you don't need to have any scruples this time."
Zhang Lexuan knew the real situation of Huo Yuhao's soul rings. The normal soul ring configuration just now was only because Huo Yuhao didn't want to attract too much attention, and it was just to cover up the truth.
As for her calling Kong Deming "Old Kong", she also didn't want to attract too much attention.
Huo Yuhao nodded when he heard this.
"I know, Sister Lexuan. With the teachers and those worshipers here, even if those people from Shrek Academy really want to go crazy, we won't be in danger."
In fact, both Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan knew very well that the reason they were so confident wasn't because of Kong Deming and those Level Nine Soul Engineers.
It was because among the participating members this time, there was Gu Yue Na, the Silver Dragon King, whose strength was unmatched throughout the entire Douluo Continent!
Even if Gu Yue Na was still injured, all the Title Douluo from Shrek and the original Douluo Empire countries combined wouldn't be a match for her!
The concern was that Tang Godking might have arranged other contingencies on the Douluo Continent, and didn't want Gu Yue Na to be exposed. Moreover, revealing her now would actually trigger panic among the people of the Sun Moon Empire.
However, Huo Yuhao was really looking forward to what Shrek and the others would pull off in this Soul Master Tournament!
