At this moment, it wasn't just Ma Xiaotao—every other girl in the room was intensely curious, all eyes turning toward Huo Yuhao.
In reality, Huo Yuhao had not yet reached the level of a Title Douluo.
He had merely taken his million-year soul rings derived from his Lich God Aspect and split them into nine separate soul rings.
While Huo Yuhao could display the soul rings, he couldn't use a single soul skill.
They were purely for show.
Of course, he wasn't about to reveal the secret of his God Aspect to anyone.
Seeing the expectant gazes of everyone, Huo Yuhao gave a mischievous smile.
"This, ah… is my little secret. Can't tell you~"
Instantly, dissatisfaction erupted.
"Huo Yuhao! Come on, tell us!"
"Yeah! You're hiding it even from us—how can you do that? Are you even a man?"
"Exactly! You've seen all our secrets, now it's your turn—you're just keeping it to yourself, huh!"
…
For a moment, the room buzzed with arguments and playful protests.
Meanwhile, on the other side…
After the shock of the first battle, the Grand Douluo Tournament at the Advanced Spirit Master Academy was in full swing. Huo Yuhao's performance in that first match had already left a deep impression on every participant and spectator.
Especially his commanding declaration before leaving—it had spread across Xingluo City in just a day.
Since the first day was an elimination round, the following two days allowed the Shrek Academy team some rest. Yet their eagerly awaited reinforcements were nowhere to be seen.
The busiest person these past two days had been Wang Yan, coming and going so frequently that he seemed like a myth—here one moment, gone the next.
It wasn't until the third evening of the tournament that he gathered all the team members in the conference room.
He turned to the seven members of the reserve team:
"In the first battle, you displayed Shrek Academy's spirit—more precisely, you made its glory shine brilliantly.
Over the past two days, I've observed matches from other academies and listened to the reactions to our first fight—the result exceeded expectations.
Now, in the eyes of other academies, Shrek Academy is the symbol of mystery and strength. They have no idea just how strong we really are.
And without a doubt, Yuhao has become the person most talked about. With our deliberate planning that day, he's clearly the leader of our team in their eyes."
The group erupted in cheers for Huo Yuhao, who blushed slightly at the attention.
Popularity really could be a burden.
Ma Xiaotao, however, simply smiled gently at him, her eyes betraying a hint of flirtation.
Once the noise subsided, Wang Yan continued:
"Now, a brief overview: after the eliminations, sixty-seven teams advance to the round-robin stage, split into eight groups—three with nine members, the rest with eight.
We'll have seven matches in the group stage, and the round-robin is expected to last fifteen to sixteen days.
Based on your cultivation levels and my understanding of you, Yuhao will continue to command in team battles.
If a one-on-one elimination match comes up, Yuhao leads the front, and Ma Xiaotao closes the match!"
Wang Yan stood: "Everyone, rest well tonight. Prepare yourselves to be at your best. Meeting adjourned!"
The team filed out. As Huo Yuhao walked toward his room with Wang Dong, he suddenly sensed something and turned his gaze down the corridor.
At the far end stood a handsome young man, about fourteen or fifteen, eyes locked on Huo Yuhao with intensity.
Huo Yuhao's expression hardened instantly. From the moon-white battle attire and the location, it was clear—this was a student of the Sun-Moon Royal Spirit Master Academy.
"Huo Yuhao, remember my name. I'm Xiao Hongchen, and I will defeat you!" The young man raised his right thumb and flipped it downward.
"You—" Wang Dong's eyes flashed coldly, but Huo Yuhao pressed his shoulder.
In an instant, Huo Yuhao raised his hand. A Dragon's Fury shot directly at the provoking Xiao Hongchen.
Xiao Hongchen was stunned. He hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to act so quickly. Raising his soul ring, he tried to block—but Huo Yuhao's Dragon's Fury was overwhelmingly strong.
As a Soul King, Xiao Hongchen felt death closing in. He had no choice but to deploy a level-seven soul device, barely stopping the attack.
The device, however, was completely destroyed in the process.
Xiao Hongchen coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggering and collapsing to the floor, a flicker of fear finally appearing in his eyes.
Huo Yuhao laughed loudly, the sound echoing down the halls of Xinghuang Hotel.
"Just an ant, and yet you dare challenge me?"
He turned, hands behind his back, and walked into his room with Wang Dong.
Huo Yuhao's voice carried through the hallway, making it impossible for anyone to miss the scene.
As onlookers gathered, Xiao Hongchen, embarrassed and coughing blood, fled. Yet on his face wasn't shame—it was excitement.
He had confirmed one thing: Huo Yuhao was not a Title Douluo. Otherwise, Xiao Hongchen would have been dead today.
He resolved to spread this news!
But the other hotel residents didn't know—they only saw Huo Yuhao strike without mercy, instantly severely injuring someone.
Huo Yuhao was terrifying.
Immediately, everyone retreated into their rooms, trembling.
…
"Why did you stop me?" Wang Dong said indignantly once inside.
"Are you stupid? Xiao Hongchen is a Soul King! How do you expect to beat him?"
"What?!" Wang Dong was shocked. "No way… He looks about our age and can't be a Soul King. He must be a reserve team member!"
"Don't forget—Dai Huabin became a Soul King. Why can't others?"
"Perhaps thousands of years ago, a twelve-year-old Soul King would be unimaginable. But now? Talent abounds—it's no surprise."
Wang Dong frowned, his pale blue eyes showing worry.
"If the reserve teams are this strong, can our main team really win?"
Huo Yuhao pretended to ponder, offering a wry smile.
"You're right, Wang Dong. Then let's start training immediately!"
"Training? What are we training?"
Before Wang Dong could respond, Huo Yuhao scooped him up and turned off the lights.
"Of course—we're cultivating the Hao Dong Power!"
"Remember, our soul powers must merge!"
From the darkness came Wang Dong's struggling protests:
"No… Huo Yuhao… your soul power is too much!"
"Ugh, ugh, ugh!"
