At the battle arena, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Zhu Lu, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Jiang Nannan followed Huo Yuhao onto the competition stage.
Once on the stage, each team took their respective sides.
For Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao stood in the center.
He crossed his arms and closed his eyes, appearing as if he were merely resting.
But the members of Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy couldn't take their eyes off him.
Although they had confirmed Huo Yuhao wasn't a Douluo with a title, every other academy already considered him at least a Soul King, if not a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse.
The opposing captain, standing tall like a javelin, fixed his gaze on Huo Yuhao. His eyes sparkled, not with fear, but with intense combat intent.
In the front line of Qianling Academy were not their captain, but four men.
These four tall students stood like a wall, forming a solid front. Behind them stood the javelin-like captain, and behind him, two girls.
The girls were easy to recognize—one with red hair, the other with blue.
All seven looked to be around twenty years old, and their formation exuded an almost impregnable feel.
In short, Qianling Academy's formation could be described as: Four Shields United, Ice and Fire Twin Control with Thousand Strike Spear.
The four tall frontliners were Yang Ming, Song Hu, Bai Chen, and Ye Mao.
According to Wang Yan's observation, these four likely came from the same sect—their soul spirits were identical: defensive-type Lingxi Shields, a mid-to-high-level defensive soul skill.
The captain behind them, Shen Ce, wielded the Thousand Strike Spear—a versatile attack-type soul skill.
The two girls were An Lengye (blue hair, Ice Frost Bear) and Feiyu Yan (red hair, Blazing Tiger), both specializing in control, forming an ice-and-fire twin control setup.
In previous matches, they hadn't used spirit devices, so their exact abilities were unknown.
"Begin!" The referee shouted, and both teams released their soul powers simultaneously.
Everyone except one person.
Huo Yuhao knew that striking first was crucial, and he had already charged up Dragon's Wrath!
"Dragon's Wrath!"
The moment the soul skill unleashed, Qianling Academy froze. Invisible pressure seemed to grip their chests, making their breathing shallow and rapid.
The four frontline defenders were instantly obliterated.
Within moments, only three opponents remained on the stage.
Everyone was stunned.
"No… impossible! What kind of soul skill is that?!"
"Whoa, that was way too fast! Four eliminated instantly at the very start?!"
"Three against seven… how can we even fight now?!"
While the crowd was in shock, Huo Yuhao pulled out a milk bottle to replenish his soul power.
The remaining three were left to fight the rest of Shrek Academy's team. After all, only through battle could they be truly trained.
The sudden turn of events shook the remaining three, but they didn't panic—they released their own soul skills to fight.
As Shen Ce activated the Thousand Strike Spear, behind him, two contrasting auras appeared: blue ice on the left, red fire on the right.
An Lengye and Feiyu Yan had activated their soul spirits.
Both girls wielded beast-type soul spirits, but their bodies remained unchanged. Instead, the beasts manifested as light projections before them.
An Lengye summoned a three-meter-tall dark blue bear radiating intense icy energy, while Feiyu Yan projected a 2.5-meter-long blazing red tiger with black stripes.
Shen Ce and Feiyu Yan focused on Huo Yuhao's teammates, while An Lengye charged directly at Huo Yuhao.
She immediately recognized the spirit device in his hand—a milk bottle for restoring soul power!
This meant Huo Yuhao likely had released all his soul power in the previous attack. Now was the perfect moment to strike.
Yet at this moment, Huo Yuhao's eyes blazed with a piercing red light. He raised his right hand skyward.
A blood-red soul ring appeared, its aura from a terrifying 100,000-year-old soul beast shaking even the protective barrier woven by 108 soul masters around the arena.
A sense of primeval majesty radiated from him, freezing the air around his body.
"Ice, I am the ruler!" His deep voice echoed across the Star Luo Square.
Hearing this and witnessing the scene on stage, every spectator felt their hearts tighten.
Then came a sight they would never forget. Huo Yuhao pointed his right hand at the Ice Frost Bear. The bear trembled violently as if it had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, then exploded into a dazzling display of light, dissipating entirely in the air.
Ultimate ice, suppressed by the same-attribute soul spirit!
An Lengye coughed up blood, collapsing to the ground.
The last image in her mind before losing consciousness was Huo Yuhao's blood-red, expressionless eyes staring at her.
The crowd was stunned.
Even the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire stood up.
"What… what is that? How is it possible for someone's first soul ring to be 100,000 years old?"
"Wait, where's his grey soul ring?"
The emperor was dumbfounded. He had also received the news—Huo Yuhao wasn't a titled Douluo.
They guessed he was likely a Soul King or Soul Emperor. As for the grey soul ring, its origin remained unknown—possibly from a mutated soul beast.
Such speculation had prepared them for Huo Yuhao's abnormal strength, but now… his first soul ring was 100,000 years old!
"Check! Find out what's going on immediately!!!"
Meanwhile, Xiao Hongchen's fists clenched so tightly they creaked.
"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! No one could absorb a 100,000-year soul ring for their first ring—the body couldn't withstand it!"
"Fake! It must be fake!"
He laughed hysterically.
"That's right! He even masks the strength of a Douluo, so this soul ring must be fake too!"
