66: Chapter 66 Seven vs. Seven? How come there are eight people on the field!

The instant the eighth aura appeared, Huo Yuhao had only one question left in his mind.

Seven against seven, why could the opposing side rock up with eight people?

Had Shrek's Inner Court become so arrogant that they were cheating right in front of Elder Xuan?

"There's an extra one on the back right!"

Huo Yuhao's voice was transmitted into everyone's minds via Spiritual Detection Sharing.

Xiaoxiao almost threw her Three-Life Soul Suppressing Cauldron crooked.

"What happened to seven against seven?"

Tang Ya backed away while glaring at Elder Xuan.

"Referee! I want to report this! The other side is teaming up illegally!"

Elder Xuan sat at the edge of the field and took a bite of a chicken leg.

"Who are you reporting?"

"The Main Team, of course!"

"Where's the evidence?"

"Yuhao already counted eight!"

Elder Xuan raised his eyelids.

"His math is bad, and you blame the Main Team?"

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched.

I really thank you.

With a formidable enemy right before them, they still had to endure mental attacks from the referee. This competition environment was simply too harsh.

"Don't panic."

Wang Qiuer lifted the golden dragon spear with one hand, her gaze locked onto Dai Yueheng.

"Seven or eight, it doesn't matter, just knock them all down."

"Mighty Sister Qiuer."

Xiaoxiao immediately chimed in.

"If there really is an eighth one later, remember to hit him a couple more times for me."

"Hit him yourself."

"I'm an auxiliary control system soul master, I value teamwork."

"Just now you said you wanted to slam the cauldron onto their heads."

"That belongs to tactical deterrence."

In the time it took for a few brief words, the Main Team had already moved.

Dai Yueheng took a step forward, his White Tiger Spirit activated.

His figure rapidly grew taller, his muscles swelling to strain his clothes, and white fur grew from his arms.

Three black patterns landed on his forehead, and his hands transformed into tiger paws.

Flames surged behind Ma Xiaotao.

Ling Luochen stood in the back row, her ice staff tapping lightly on the ground.

Xixi and Zhang Zifeng vanished from the spot simultaneously.

Just as the colorful light behind Gongyang Mo lit up, Huo Yuhao suddenly discovered that the eighth aura was moving as well.

It was hidden behind Ma Xiaotao, its movements almost synchronized with Yao Haoxuan.

"Wait..."

Golden light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and Spiritual Detection swept across rapidly.

There was Soul Power fluctuation.

There was a contour.

There were even Soul Power changes brought about by movement.

Yet on the ground, there was no vibration caused by footsteps.

The air around that figure also did not produce any changes.

Huo Yuhao understood in an instant.

"Fake."

Wang Donger had already spread the wings of her Radiant Goddess Butterfly. Hearing these words, she almost fell out of mid-air.

"What's fake?"

"The eighth person is a Soul Power projection."

"Able to fool your Spiritual Detection?"

"The first glance can, the second glance can't."

Huo Yuhao locked onto Yao Haoxuan standing in the back row.

There was a slight ripple of Soul Power on Yao Haoxuan.

That projection was controlled precisely by him.

"Senior can create false targets."

Huo Yuhao said quickly.

"He deliberately hid the projection behind Senior Sister Ma to make me think someone was preparing to ambush us. The Main Team wants us to shrink our formation."

Tang Ya immediately asked, "Should we expose them?"

"Not yet."

The golden light in Huo Yuhao's eyes subsided slightly.

"They want to trick us, then let them think they're fooling us."

Jiang Nannan had already retreated to the right side of the formation and spoke in a low voice upon hearing this, "Following the first set of tactics?"

"Right."

"Then shall we start acting?"

"Action."

The next moment, Huo Yuhao abruptly turned his head to look at the back right, a trace of "shock" appearing on his face.

"There's someone behind!"

"Shrink the formation!"

Xiaoxiao coordinated very quickly, raising her hand to block the Three-Life Soul Suppressing Cauldron in front of her.

Wang Donger rapidly lowered her altitude.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan also closed in toward the middle.

Gu Yuena brought her hands together, and several wind blades revolved around the team, making them look completely defensive.

At the back of the Main Team, Yao Haoxuan grinned.

"They've taken the bait."

The colorful light behind Gongyang Mo fell.

"Strength Amplification!"

"Speed Amplification!"

"Soul Power Amplification!"

Three streams of light landed on Dai Yueheng, Ma Xiaotao, and Xixi simultaneously.

The ground beneath Dai Yueheng's feet exploded with a boom.

"Break their front line first!"

He lunged straight at Xiaoxiao.

Ma Xiaotao followed closely behind, Phoenix Flames spreading out from behind her, covering half of the training ground in red light.

Xixi and Zhang Zifeng acted separately, circling around from left and right toward the back row of the Reserve Team.

Ling Luochen did not press forward, her ice staff consistently aimed at Huo Yuhao.

Elder Xuan sat at the edge of the field, chewing on a chicken leg with his eyes narrowed.

"These little fellows are quite bold."

Beibei stood outside the field with his arms crossed.

"Who?"

"The Reserve Team."

"Weren't they fooled by Senior Yao?"

He Caitou scratched his head.

"Their formation has shrunk into a ball."

Beibei stared at Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao knows it's fake."

"How did you tell?"

"Tang Ya's acting is too bad."

"Really?"

"When she pretends to be nervous, the corners of her mouth can't stop pressing down."

Inside the field, Tang Ya was still shouting.

"Protect Yuhao! There's someone behind!"

Huo Yuhao almost made Spiritual Detection Sharing disconnect.

"Teacher Xiaoya, tone it down a bit."

"Was my acting bad?"

"It's a bit overdone."

"I think it felt quite real."

"When you shouted to protect me, why did you have a smile on your face?"

"It's our first time fighting the Main Team, my emotions are a bit complicated."

"Simply put."

"Thrilling."

Huo Yuhao was speechless, fortunately the other side had already rushed in.

Dai Yueheng was only ten meters away from Xiaoxiao.

Eight meters.

Five meters.

He did not directly use high-level Spirit Abilities.

In his view, the gap in Soul Power between the two sides was right there.

Just relying on the White Tiger Spirit activation, plus Gongyang Mo's triple amplification, was enough to crash through Xiaoxiao's defense line.

"Cauldron, come!"

Xiaoxiao raised both hands.

The Three-Life Soul Suppressing Cauldron crashed heavily onto the ground, blocking the front.

Dai Yueheng did not slow down, slamming his tiger paws onto the body of the cauldron.

"Open for me!"

Bang!

A loud noise echoed.

The Three-Life Soul Suppressing Cauldron was knocked sliding back several meters.

Xiaoxiao slid backward with her feet scraping the ground, her chest feeling stuffy.

"This strength is simply unreasonable!"

"Xiaoxiao, disperse the force, move two steps left."

Huo Yuhao's voice sounded just in time.

Within Spiritual Detection Sharing, Dai Yueheng's force-application direction, footwork position, and next attack route were all presented in Xiaoxiao's mind.

She immediately shifted sideways.

The second large cauldron dropped from an oblique angle, precisely jamming Dai Yueheng's raised right leg.

Dai Yueheng frowned.

"Prediction?"

"Guessed it."

Xiaoxiao smiled through gritted teeth.

"Senior, your trouser leg is open."

Dai Yueheng instinctively lowered his head.

His trouser leg was perfectly fine.

"You tricked me?"

"All's fair in war."

"Then take another punch from me!"

Just as Dai Yueheng was about to exert force, Huo Yuhao's voice had already spread across the Reserve Team.

"Spread out!"

The seven people huddled together moved simultaneously.

Tang Ya rushed to the left, Blue Silver Grass spreading closely along the ground.

Jiang Nannan rushed to the right, sweeping out with her long legs to force back Xixi who was circling around the back.

Wang Donger flapped her wings and soared directly into the air.

Gu Yuena stayed by Huo Yuhao's side, wind elements supporting the two of them as they quickly glided backward.

Xiaoxiao withdrew the Three-Life Soul Suppressing Cauldron.

Dai Yueheng, whose vision had been blocked by the cauldron, raised his head, and a golden spear was already right in front of him.

"Senior Dai."

Wang Qiuer gripped the golden dragon spear, her long hair whipping backward amidst the impact of Soul Power.

"Your opponent is me."

Dai Yueheng's pupils contracted slightly, his tiger paws crossing in front of his chest.

The golden dragon spear pierced squarely into the tiger paws.

Bang!

Dai Yueheng's feet sank into the ground, his body pushed sliding backward.

The ground split open between the two of them, the fissure extending all the way to the edge of the training ground.

"Such great strength!"

Dai Yueheng let out a low roar, his arms suddenly exerting force.

"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

His third spirit ring lit up, his body expanding once more, and his tiger paws slammed outward with a violent tremor.

Wang Qiuer twisted her wrist, pressing the spear tip downward smoothly.

The aura of the Golden Dragon Spirit erupted completely.

"Open!"

The spear flipped upward.

Dai Yueheng only felt a massive force surge up his arms and into his shoulders, lifting his body off the ground on the spot.

He forcefully flipped in mid-air, retreating three steps after landing.

Stepping down on the final step, the ground cracked apart once again, and the few members of the Main Team all looked over.

Gongyang Mo's mouth slightly opened.

"Dai Yueheng was blasted back?"

Yao Haoxuan was also stunned.

"What's the deal with this girl?"

"Her Soul Power is clearly a huge chunk lower than Dai Yueheng's."

As soon as Zhang Zifeng finished speaking, Jiang Nannan had already blocked in front of him.

"Senior, it's not very good to zone out while fighting, right?"

"You can't stop me."

"Then let's try."

Zhang Zifeng's body flickered, accelerating instantly.

Jiang Nannan did not block him head-on.

Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection had long since marked out Zhang Zifeng's movement route.

"Front right, three steps."

Jiang Nannan shifted horizontally by a step.

Zhang Zifeng happened to appear right in front of her.

"Waist Bow!"

Jiang Nannan spun around, her long legs wrapping around Zhang Zifeng's waist.

Zhang Zifeng reacted quickly, his elbow immediately slamming backward.

Jiang Nannan did not continue exerting force, releasing her legs and back-flipping with the momentum.

"Xixi has arrived."

Huo Yuhao reminded her once more as a bolt of lightning flashed past Jiang Nannan's side.

Xixi missed her target and turned back to glare at Zhang Zifeng.

"You blocked my path."

Zhang Zifeng replied as well.

"You're simply too hasty."

"I'll settle accounts with you later."

"You catch up to her first."

Jiang Nannan was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Your Main Team is even engaging in internal strife?"

Xixi transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed over again.

"Cut the crap!"

"You're flustered."

"I'm not flustered!"

"People who are flustered always say that."

On the other side, Dai Yueheng regained his footing, his eyes already locked onto Wang Qiuer.

During that clash just now, he had indeed been careless, but that power could not be faked.

"Come again!"

Dai Yueheng let out a tiger roar and charged forward.

Wang Qiuer dragged her spear along as she moved.

The golden dragon spear scraped across the ground, kicking up a string of sparks.

"Come on then."

The White Tiger and the Golden Dragon collided once more.

Fist and spear collided head-on.

Soul Power exploded in all directions.

The nearby Three-Life Soul Suppressing Cauldron shook several times from the shock.

Xiaoxiao hugged the cauldron leg, her whole body almost floating up.

"You two can fight all you want, don't accidentally injure friendly forces!"

Wang Qiuer didn't even look back.

"Stay further away."

"I want to stay further away too, my legs aren't listening to commands right now!"

"Then hold on tight."

"Why does that sound so weird?"

Huo Yuhao had no time to reply to her.

Ma Xiaotao had already arrived.

She bypassed the combat zone of Dai Yueheng and Wang Qiuer, flames erupting from her wings.

"Yuhao, what are you daydreaming about staring at me?"

"Who's daydreaming?"

"Then take this move!"

Ma Xiaotao waved her hand.

A large expanse of Phoenix Flames fell from the sky.

Before the flames even got close, the air had already begun to distort.

The wind elements around Huo Yuhao quickly dispersed.

Gu Yuena raised her head.

"Her fire is very strong."

"I know."

"Do you want me to make a move?"

"Keep hiding for now."

Huo Yuhao said in a low voice.

"Only use basic element control to help me stabilize the surrounding air currents."

"Alright."

Gu Yuena didn't ask further.
