As soon as Tang San thought of Xiao Wu being controlled by his opponent, his killing intent toward Huo Yuhao flared like a raging fire. Rage completely consumed his mind, and he was utterly shattered. Even if he was killed a thousand times, he vowed to find an opportunity for revenge.
Tang San, in his maddened rage, didn't give up on the match. Huo Yuhao had no intention of stopping, a flicker of satisfaction even gracing his lips as a strange sense of vengeance welled up inside him.
Witnessing this, the disciples of the Holy Spirit Church like Yan Feng and Tang Dai completely changed their opinion of Huo Yuhao. They had believed their own true disciples of the Holy Spirit Church were crazy enough, but they never expected Huo Yuhao to be even more deranged.
Repeatedly slaughtering the same person—even these evil soul masters couldn't help but feel a flicker of pity for Tang San and a sense of fear toward Huo Yuhao. Unknowingly, Huo Yuhao had "killed the chicken to scare the monkeys," though the "chicken" wasn't his initial target.
Xiao Wu, controlled by Huo Yuhao, couldn't move her body on her own. While she could sense everything happening in the outside world, her consciousness was unable to control her body. She could only watch helplessly as Tang San was killed again and again, her inner pain and despair accumulating until her consciousness was on the verge of collapse. But because she was under mental control, she couldn't even exit the Simulated Universe, which was a loophole in the system.
But who could have predicted that someone as twisted as Huo Yuhao would appear? After all, killing someone in the Simulated Universe wouldn't result in their actual death, and preventing them from exiting seemed meaningless. Besides, Huo Yuhao's mental power couldn't control Xiao Wu forever.
From a distant mountaintop, Lu Jingming watched as Tang San was repeatedly resurrected and killed, a cyclical torment from Huo Yuhao. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy cow, this is a complete role reversal!"
He was reminded of the original story, where Sea God Tang San had tortured Huo Yuhao in the Valley of Love, killing him over and over again. If he hadn't been keeping an eye on Huo Yuhao and knew that Mobius had left a backup plan in that gem, he would have truly believed that Huo Yuhao had been reborn and was now repaying Tang San in kind!
"Is that Huo Yuhao? How did he become like this?" Among the spectators were people from Shrek Academy. They recognized the Huo Yuhao who had been abandoned by the academy. Seeing him so cruelly slaughter Tang San over and over again, everyone looked on in shock.
On the other side, Yu Xiaogang and others who were also watching the match were filled with anger. The hot-tempered Liu Erlong was so furious she was shaking. Huo Yuhao's actions of controlling Xiao Wu and tormenting Tang San had completely pushed their buttons.
"This!" Ning Fengzhi and the others looked confused. Judging by their strength alone, Huo Yuhao's group was clearly not on their side. But why did it feel like he had an irreconcilable grudge with Tang San, as if he wanted to kill him ten thousand times?
"Little Junior Brother, Little Ya!" Just as Tang San was being relentlessly killed and Xiao Wu's spirit was on the verge of collapse, the passing Shrek Academy team was drawn to the constantly flashing blue light of resurrection and came to the scene. Seeing Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya, Beibei, the captain of Shrek Academy's first team, immediately showed a look of pleasant surprise.
"Hmph!" Seeing that it was Beibei and Xiaoxiao, Huo Yuhao frowned, his expression turning sour. He was no longer the Huo Yuhao that Beibei and the others knew. He was now the Bloody-Eyed Holy Son, and he had no such thing as former ties.
"Class Leader, it really is you! This is great, do you know that Wang Dong has been looking for you!" Xiaoxiao was also overjoyed when she saw Huo Yuhao's figure. However, when she rushed closer, she suddenly stopped, and the rest of her words were choked back.
Huo Yuhao was looking at her coldly, with no emotion in his eyes. That icy gaze sent a chill down her spine. This was not the Huo Yuhao she knew.
"Little Ya, I've missed you so much! Where have you been?" Before Xiaoxiao could recover, Beibei had already shot out like an arrow, heading straight for Tang Ya.
Pfft! The Blue Silver Overlord Spear ruthlessly pierced through flesh. Blood splattered out, reflecting Beibei's shocked expression.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Xu Sanshi and the others all froze in place, watching the scene in disbelief. Tang Ya had actually been so ruthless to Beibei, and she went straight for his vital organs. It felt like they were dreaming.
"Little Ya?" Beibei clutched the Blue Silver Overlord Spear tightly, looking at Tang Ya with a look of confusion. Tang Ya's response was to forcefully shake him off, sending him flying.
Tang Ya showed no mercy. Beibei's heart was pierced, and he dissipated into a flurry of light particles while still in mid-air, leaving behind only a blue resurrection chip that landed in front of Xu Sanshi and the others.
Watching the emotionless Tang Ya, who looked as if she had just killed a stranger she didn't know, a vein popped on Xu Sanshi's forehead.
"Teacher Little Ya, Class Leader, what are you two doing?!" Xiaoxiao looked at the cold-faced Huo Yuhao and the expressionless Tang Ya in disbelief, her voice trembling. She truly couldn't understand what was happening.
"Xiaoxiao, come back! They aren't the same Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya they used to be." Jiang Nan Nan didn't know the inside story, but she could sense that Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya had completely changed and were no longer the two people they once knew.
"Holy Son, the commotion just now must have attracted the attention of a lot of teams. What should we do next?" Yan Feng frowned slightly. He couldn't understand why Huo Yuhao was torturing Tang San, but he knew that the continuous flashing blue light of resurrection had caught the attention of many nearby teams.
"Kill them." There was only dense killing intent in Huo Yuhao's bloody eyes. He casually waved his hand and said.
Receiving Huo Yuhao's order, Tang Dai and Wang Xiaolei, who had been itching for a fight, immediately revealed a bloodthirsty grin. They charged at Xu Sanshi and Xiaoxiao like wolves.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words and seeing Tang Dai and the others charge at them without hesitation, Ning Tian and Wu Feng, who were assigned to the first team, immediately prepared for battle. Although Xiaoxiao was a little dazed, she instantly summoned her Three-Life Soul-Warding Cauldron and watched Tang Dai and the others cautiously.
"Don't fight them. Grab Beibei's resurrection chip, and we'll retreat!" Xu Sanshi shouted loudly, activating his Black Tortoise martial soul without hesitation. A giant phantom of a black tortoise instantly appeared, and a pitch-black water vortex appeared in front of the team, blocking the enemy's attack.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Jiang Nan Nan turned into a swift afterimage and instantly rushed toward Beibei's resurrection chip, picking it up. Seeing that Jiang Nan Nan had successfully retrieved the chip, Xu Sanshi secretly let out a sigh of relief. As long as they had the resurrection chip, they had the initiative. Whether they chose to continue fighting or retreat, it was their call.
"You're not getting away!" The phantom of the Frost Bone Dragon behind Yan Feng appeared again, and it spewed a frost breath. The terrifying cold seemed to freeze everything in the world, and everything in its path was frozen.
At the same time, Tang Dai activated his martial soul fusion, revealing a golden skeleton body. He charged at Xu Sanshi and the others fearlessly, enduring the fierce bombardment of He Caitou's soul tools. Shells, bullets, and energy orbs rained down on the Golden Skeleton King, but they were like tiny bugs trying to shake a tree, leaving no marks on him. The defensive power of Tang Dai's Skeleton King martial soul had clearly surpassed that of an ordinary Soul King.
In addition to him, Lu Genggeng also transformed into a huge, obese Abomination. He threw out his hook, aiming directly at the support, Ning Tian. Fortunately, Ning Tian was protected by Wu Feng.
Wu Feng's fists were wrapped in the flames of the Red Dragon. She punched out fiercely, accurately hitting the incoming hook. Even with Ning Tian's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda assisting her, Wu Feng was still pushed back by the powerful force of the hook, staggering back several steps.
One side was desperate to escape, while the other was determined to kill them all. A fierce chase had begun.
Huo Yuhao saw that Yan Feng and the others had already gone after them. Without hesitation, he condensed an ice cone and plunged it into Xiao Wu's chest, temporarily freeing her from the pain of being controlled. As for Xiao Wu and Tang San's resurrection chips, he didn't bother to pick them up. In his opinion, if Xiao Wu and Tang San were resurrected, he would just kill them again.
Huo Yuhao had all the memories of the main personality and knew that Xu Sanshi and the others were not easy to deal with. So, he immediately went after them with Tang Ya. He had no affection for Shrek Academy and didn't care about their past relationship. He was determined to eliminate everyone from Shrek Academy. After all, it was the main personality who had a relationship with Shrek Academy. What did it have to do with him, the second personality?
On the other side, the Heavenly Water Academy, Blazing Academy, and Divine Wind Academy were quite lucky to be randomly placed in the same area. After meeting, the three academies didn't fight each other but chose to form an illegal team. At first, the three academies, relying on their numbers, severely bullied a few more honest teams. However, when they encountered a team called the Body Sect, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
"Who are those guys?! How can a Soul Emperor be in the competition, and they're so strong!" Shui Yue'er patted her ample chest in lingering fear, unable to resist looking back, afraid that those "monsters" who called themselves the Body Sect would catch up. Except for a golden-haired girl, the other members of the Body Sect were all burly and tall. Their martial souls were all very strange but also terrifyingly powerful.
