Chapter 111 Laughing at the World's Speculation
Wang Yan was initially annoyed that Ma Xiaotao wasn't properly concealing her strength and was instead revealing all her soul skills in a completely unnecessary match. However, seeing Ma Xiaotao hurriedly suppressing her evil fire, he ultimately swallowed his words of reprimand.
It was his oversight not to consider Ma Xiaotao's personality beforehand and to ask her to hold back. He should wait until Ma Xiaotao has suppressed her evil temper before bringing it up.
Fortunately, Shrek Academy was strong enough that the complete exposure of Ma Xiaotao's abilities had little impact on the academy.
If Shrek Academy were to suffer a severe blow as in the original story, Ma Xiaotao's actions would undoubtedly make the already precarious situation even more difficult.
It's like the strategy of exchanging pieces between Ma Rulong and Ma Xiaotao could have been avoided, or Dai Yueheng, whose attack power is slightly weaker, could have been used to counter Ma Rulong's piece exchange tactic.
Ma Xiaotao suddenly unleashed her full power outside, and with the advantage of flight, she was able to suppress Xiao Hongchen, preventing him from effectively carrying out his firepower.
In the rest area.
"Shrek Academy's oppressive atmosphere is still so strong..."
In the audience, Ma Lao, the team leader of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, let out a deep breath and turned to look at the students behind him.
"How does it feel to see another form of combat?"
This was the first time that the students of the Sun Moon Empire, especially the reserve students, had witnessed the fighting style of traditional Soul Masters.
Unlike the original story where only three inner court disciples remained, the addition of Xi Xi and Gongyang Mo brought Shrek Academy's offensive capabilities to a level almost equivalent to its peak.
With Gongyang Mo's assistance, Shrek Academy's team could put up a fight even against Soul Saints. This kind of pressure was something that Soul Kings or high-level Soul Masters could not withstand in the Soul Master Tournament.
"I think I know why the Sun Moon Empire has been suppressed by Shrek Academy for three thousand years."
Xiao Hongchen was no longer as arrogant as before, but his expression remained calm. The contempt in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a strong fighting spirit.
"If we're just talking about destructive power, the geniuses of our Sun Moon Empire are no less than those of Shrek Academy. In fact, I'm confident that our destructive power will surpass that of Shrek Academy in the next Soul Master Competition!"
"But in other aspects, we are ultimately far behind, especially in the abilities of Soul Masters themselves."
"Did you notice? The power of their Meteor Shower Soul Skill wasn't much stronger than our Level 6 Soul Guidance Cannon, but the damage they caused was more than twice as great."
"Because their Meteor Shower Soul Skill accurately hit almost every member of the Fighting Spirit Team. Can our Soul Guidance Cannon do the same?"
While asking his teammates questions, Xiao Hongchen was also asking himself questions.
Xiao Hongchen was very clear about his own affairs. Although his attacks were indeed very strong, most of his firepower was wasted as it bombarded the ground.
If Xiao Hongchen could also accurately control the attack of each soul-guided cannon, even if the two meteor showers came at the same time, Xiao Hongchen was confident that he could fight them head-on without being at a disadvantage.
"Strange, I didn't feel that Shrek Academy students' attacks were this accurate last time."
Upon hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, Old Ma suddenly fell into confusion.
Master Ma had also coached the previous batch of trainees. Although he didn't pay much attention to these reserve team members back then, the regular team members from that batch definitely didn't have such terrifying control.
Do you know what it means to precisely control every attack? It requires absolute mental concentration, without the slightest slackening. How could anyone possibly do that every time?
Unless one can control soul skills with perfect ease...
But how is that possible? How many times can a Soul Emperor level expert unleash their fifth or sixth Soul Skill at once? They might not even be able to practice that many times in a day. How much effort would it take to master Soul Skills?
How could someone who can do that have the energy to raise their soul power level to level 60 before the age of twenty? Don't they need to spend time cultivating?
Even if the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is slightly inferior to Shrek Academy in terms of Soul Masters, the gap shouldn't be this big, right?
Upon hearing what Elder Ma said, Xiao Hongchen also fell into deep thought.
Xiao Hongchen thought of Huo Yuhao, whom he had met that morning.
The tone with which the other person confronted him was as if... as if becoming a Title Douluo was merely the starting point of cultivation.
Yes, that's the feeling—the lack of awe for the strong, as if you could replace them at any time, or even do better.
Is someone with this kind of aura really just someone who looks like they have two rings?
This question is also why Xiao Hongchen paid close attention to Huo Yuhao before the competition began.
However, Huo Yuhao disappeared without a trace at the start of the match, having used some unknown ability. Xiao Hongchen didn't see Huo Yuhao at all during the entire match, as if he hadn't played any role.
But is that really the case?
Given the intense battle situation, Shrek Academy chose to send Huo Yuhao, a second-ring Soul Master, to the team battle instead of that turtle-shell Soul Master with the tactical Soul Skill Xuanming Replacement. This was definitely because Huo Yuhao's role in the team battle was far greater than that of the turtle-shell Soul Master.
The only thing that makes Shrek Academy seem ridiculously strong is their control over their soul skills.
Could this be the effect of Huo Yuhao's soul skill? It can't directly enhance the power of the soul skill, but it can increase the accuracy of the soul skill?
Xu Jiawei, who was standing in the stands, also had this speculation.
As an emperor who had studied at Shrek Academy, Xu Jiawei was more aware of the abilities of Shrek students than Xiao Hongchen.
During his school years, absolutely no one else possessed both exceptional cultivation and top-tier control over soul skills.
Having even one of these qualities would make you a genius, let alone having both.
Most people only start researching their soul skills when they reach a point where their cultivation can no longer advance.
Because by then, with the support of immense soul power and spiritual power, the research efficiency will be higher, and the understanding of martial soul will be enhanced, perhaps finding an opportunity to break through to a higher level.
Huo Yuhao was unaware of Xiao Hongchen and Xu Jiawei's guesses. Xiao Hongchen was alright, but Xu Jiawei had guessed almost everything about Huo Yuhao's underwear, only lacking conclusive evidence.
Even if Huo Yuhao knew, he would probably still have this indifferent attitude.
After all, Huo Yuhao kept the Ultimate Ice hidden for two reasons: firstly, he didn't want to cause any more trouble, and secondly, he wanted others to guess what it was.
After all, if such a big card were to be openly displayed, Tang San would naturally investigate whether Huo Yuhao had any other cards up his sleeve. But if Tang San guessed the card himself, he would naturally be willing to believe that this was Huo Yuhao's trump card.
As long as Electrolux remains unexposed, even if Ice Emperor is exposed, Tang San is unlikely to resort to desperate measures.
After all, even Hyotei has to follow the rules.
