Whether the Xingluo side was satisfied with the final action plan, Huo Yuhao did not know. But for him and Gu Yuena, the result was not bad.
Because at Huo Yuhao's suggestion, the two of them were also included in the personnel participating in the surrounding and annihilate plan, rather than the personnel staying behind in Xingluo City.
This way, it would be more convenient for them to go find Dragon Valley. They would not have to worry about suddenly disappearing for a period of time and causing others concern.
With his previous achievement of defeating a Red Grade Mecha pilot, Duoqing Douluo and Soul Calming Douluo did not oppose Huo Yuhao joining the surrounding and annihilate plan. They approved it directly.
In their view, no matter how young Huo Yuhao was, he was already a combat power comparable to a Super Douluo. On the battlefield, he would definitely be a great help.
The Xingluo side naturally had no objections.
However, Gu Yuena's inclusion did cause some controversy. After all, her publicly acknowledged strength was still at the Soul King level. Although her talent was astonishing, facing the experts among the evil soul masters, the risk was still too great.
"Although Na'er is a Soul King, she is already a Two-Word Battle Armor Master. Moreover, her spiritual power has already broken through the Spirit Abyss realm."
Knowing the concerns of Duoqing Douluo and the others, Huo Yuhao explained, "With the blessing of Two-Word Battle Armor and Spirit Abyss realm spiritual power, she is definitely not weaker than a Soul Douluo. Even against a Titled Douluo, she would have the strength to fight."
Of course, the prerequisite was that the opponent had no battle armor.
But such "paper" strength was already sufficient to participate in this operation.
Duoqing Douluo was silent for a moment, not expressing an opinion. He simply turned to look at Soul Calming Douluo.
These two were juniors of the Spirit Transmission Tower. It depended on what he thought.
Soul Calming Douluo's gaze lingered on Gu Yuena for a while. As a Limit Douluo, he could vaguely sense an indescribable mystery about this silver haired girl, but he could not specifically say what it was.
"Two-Word Battle Armor." He nodded slightly. "As long as you do not go up against those Super Douluo, it is indeed sufficient for self protection. Since you both have such confidence, I will not stop you. However, evil soul masters have weird methods. Remember, do not be careless. Both of you must be careful."
They had already grown to this level. It was time to appropriately let go.
Flowers in a greenhouse could not withstand the wind and rain.
...
The Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament was one of the most important events on the Xingluo Continent. Its history could be traced back to the ancient times of the Douluo Continent.
The main purpose of this event was also very simple. To find overlooked talent.
In the process of the Douluo Continent gradually moving toward federation, the influence of this event gradually weakened, eventually fading from people's view. The Xingluo Continent, however, had inherited this event with a long history and continued to develop it.
The main competition formats included one on one, two on two, and seven on seven challenge matches. There was also a mecha challenge match, making four events in total.
Of course, this event, serving as a "decoy," had nothing to do with Huo Yuhao. He was going to deal with the evil soul masters. He could not attend to this competition.
As for the matches against Xingluo, naturally, they would be left to Xiaoyan, Xie Xie, Wulin, and the others.
"What? Yuhao, you and Na'er are not participating in the competition?"
The next day, at the Xingluo Hotel, Xiaoyan looked at Huo Yuhao with concern. "But the Xingluo competition is for those under twenty. If you and Sister Na do not participate, we may not be able to win in the end. It might embarrass the Federation."
The requirement for Xingluo's soul master tournament was that anyone under twenty and above two rings could register to participate.
Their cultivation levels were good among their peers, all having reached above four ring Soul Ancestor.
But among soul masters under twenty in all of Xingluo, there were certainly Soul Kings, and even Soul Emperors and battle armor masters.
This age and cultivation gap was not so easy to bridge.
Beside them, the students of Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Shrek Academy, who had also intended to discuss tactical countermeasures with Huo Yuhao, exchanged looks.
Huo Yuhao was undoubtedly the leading figure of their Douluo Federation's younger generation and their source of confidence.
It was precisely because of him that the Douluo Federation had not sent older students. With him alone, he could intimidate all the younger generation of Xingluo.
But now that Huo Yuhao was not participating, their hearts suddenly felt uncertain.
Xie Xie scratched his head and could not help saying, "Boss, maybe you should still play? Otherwise, if Xingluo produces some genius comparable to Senior Ji Wufeng, we really Cannot Handle it."
Le Zhengyu also nodded in agreement. "Yes, Yuhao. The Xingluo Federation has deep foundations. It is hard to say they are not hiding some trump cards."
When he had stood against Huo Yuhao before, he had not felt this way. But now that they were teammates, the sense of security was overwhelming.
It seemed that as long as he was there, they feared no challenge.
Huo Yuhao smiled. "Even if I wanted to participate, Xingluo would not approve my application."
Hearing this, thinking of the scene where Huo Yuhao had defeated the Red Grade Mecha pilot, they did not know how to persuade him.
That was right. Not to mention Huo Yuhao not wanting to participate. Even if he wanted to, Xingluo probably would not want him.
The story of Yuhao defeating the Red Grade Mecha pilot had already spread throughout the streets of Xingluo City.
If Huo Yuhao competed now, it would be Stomping, not competing.
If he participated, many contestants would probably withdraw on the day.
Fight what? Did you want to duel a "Super Douluo" one on one? Or get Ganged Up On by a group of people with a Super Douluo level expert?
Go home and sleep. Do not compete with monsters.
Xie Xie could only look at Gu Yuena with hopeful eyes. "Then Sister Na, you..."
"I will not go. What are you afraid of? If they take advantage of your youth, you can use your battle armor."
Gu Yuena rolled her eyes and said with a hint of annoyance. "You all have not the battle armor you have already completed, have you, just because you have not used it much? Yuhao previously restricted your use of battle armor only because he and Wulin made it, and you participated too little. Using it to deal with peers without battle armor would be considered Winning forgotten Without Honor. He was afraid it would give you bad habits."
"But if you encounter battle armor masters or those who Bully the Weak, he did not restrict you."
Seeing Xie Xie and the others cast surprised and delighted glances, Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded.
Did you think you were those Noobs from the original work?
Although you took a shortcut with his and Wulin's help, you are all One-Word Battle Armor Masters. Were you still afraid of such a competition?
Do not worry. Just put on your battle armor and Charge In Recklessly.
If you really cannot win, that is nothing.
This competition was different from the original work. In the original work, Xingluo's Monster Academy had always wanted to step on Shrek Academy to rise. But this time, they had come because of Xingluo's request. The competition itself was just a "decoy."
As long as they did not completely fall out, Xingluo would not embarrass them in this regard. Even if the Federation lost, the commentator would call it an Honorable Defeat or say they were One Move Short.
Especially when facing their people from the Spirit Transmission Tower, the participating soul masters might even Throw Their Matches or Go Easy for various reasons.
After obtaining permission from Huo Yuhao to use battle armor, the expression on Xie Xie's face gradually became wild and unrestrained.
These past few days had been way too delightful, had they not?
Yesterday, debating with the young. Tomorrow, he could Show Off with his battle armor in the competition. Delightful.
