Chapter 78 Shrek Academy... Do you dare to accept the challenge?
The next day, the sun shone brightly over Tianhai City, and the various events of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition officially kicked off.
The first event was the blacksmith competition.
Inside the vast sub-venue, hundreds of forging tables were neatly arranged, and the air was filled with the scent of metal and fire.
The preliminary round for the junior group was relatively basic, testing the blacksmith's fundamental skills—refining through repeated forging.
This was naturally a piece of cake for Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
The crisp, rhythmic sound of hammering echoed in the area where the two were located. In just a few strikes, the metal in their hands had already become dull and shiny, reaching a purity far exceeding the standard of a hundred forgings, easily passing the test.
The two submitted their work almost one after the other, and left the noisy competition venue ahead of time, amidst the slightly surprised gazes of the proctor.
Huo Yuhao wasn't very interested in individual Soul Master battles, but Tang Wulin not only had to participate in the subsequent individual battles, but also had to be a key player in the three-person team Soul Master competition for Class Zero, making the schedule quite tight.
The Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament is a grand event in the southeastern coastal region. Not only does it attract a large number of participants, with elites from dozens of cities gathering together, but the competition also covers a wide range of events, encompassing all aspects of the Soul Master field.
From individual Soul Master arena battles, three-person, five-person, and seven-person team battles, to skill competitions among the four secondary professions, to mecha piloting competitions, and even battle armor master competitions... the variety is dazzling.
Therefore, the day's schedule was packed, and the venues were bustling with activity from morning till night.
By the time the final match was over, it was already dark, and the giant clock in the stadium was pointing to 7 p.m.
Tianhai Stadium is a magnificent stadium, consisting of a vast playing area below and surrounding general spectator stands.
At the top level of the audience seating area, there is a ring of VIP boxes with excellent views, exclusively for alliance executives and special guests, offering unparalleled privacy.
At this moment, in the circular corridor that encircles the entire stadium on the upper floor, Huo Yuhao is holding Gu Yue's hand and walking at a leisurely pace.
Occasionally, staff members from the Tianhai Alliance would hurry past in the corridor, but the two of them seemed to disappear into thin air, attracting no one's attention.
Some people even brushed against Huo Yuhao's shoulder as they passed by, yet they didn't notice at all, as if there was no one there.
These people didn't even see Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue.
Because at this moment, Huo Yuhao was quietly activating his simulated soul skill!
This powerful spiritual attribute soul skill can not only simulate various environments, but also distort light, create visual deception, and even simulate aura.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao perfectly "simulated" his and Gu Yue's figures, aura, and even the faint sounds they made while walking, making them blend into the surrounding environment.
Unless one possesses mental strength far exceeding that of Huo Yuhao, or perceives things in other special ways.
Otherwise, they would be impossible to detect by sight alone.
Finally, the two stopped outside a private room.
Gu Yue glanced at Huo Yuhao beside her and said in a low voice, "Your simulated soul skill... has extremely high practical value."
"If used in battle, unless the opponent's mental strength far surpasses yours, they probably won't even be able to touch your shadow."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao simply smiled and said nothing more.
The reason he hadn't used his simulated soul skills in the previous battles was twofold: firstly, to conceal his true abilities and not to reveal all his trump cards too early.
Secondly, he has not yet encountered a truly formidable opponent that requires him to use this "invisibility" ability to deal with.
Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes narrowed slightly, and his invisible spiritual detection had already silently spread out, easily penetrating the heavy door of the private room in front of him and seeing the scene inside clearly.
"Just a Soul Master... that's alright."
Huo Yuhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he felt more confident about the next action.
Outside, as the final match ended, the sound of the broadcast echoed throughout the Tianhai Stadium.
"Thank you to all the contestants for your wonderful performances today!"
"The first day of the competition has officially concluded. Let's look forward to...!"
However, the sentence was only half-finished before it abruptly ended!
Immediately afterwards, the host let out a short exclamation over the loudspeaker, his voice filled with surprise and a hint of panic.
"Who...who are you?!"
"What are you going to do?! Ah...!"
This sudden turn of events shattered the stadium's tranquility!
Both the contestants who had not yet left the venue and the staff who were packing up their equipment stopped what they were doing.
After all, this is much more interesting than those monotonous closing remarks!
Everyone's curiosity was instantly ignited.
The culprits behind this incident were naturally Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue.
Everyone's curiosity was instantly ignited.
The culprits behind this incident were naturally Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue.
Using their "simulation" soul skill, the two of them made their way unimpeded into the core broadcast control room located on the top floor of the stadium.
Huo Yuhao's mental impact was like an invisible hammer blow to the host's mind, leaving him no time to react before his vision went black and he collapsed limply to the ground.
Gu Yue, who was standing nearby, pulled the unconscious host off his chair and threw him aside.
Huo Yuhao stepped forward and sat down without any hesitation.
Huo Yuhao took a slight breath, leaned forward, and brought his lips close to the silver microphone on the control panel in front of him, clearly sending out his voice.
His voice, amplified by the Soul Guidance Amplification System that spans the entire Tianhai Stadium, instantly resounded in every corner, echoing across the empty stadium and above the still-lingering crowd.
"Donghai Academy Class Zero"
"I hereby formally challenge Shrek Academy!"
"Five-player team battle, arena duel."
He emphasized the last sentence: "Shrek Academy...do you dare to accept the challenge?!"
"Whoa!!!"
This sudden declaration of challenge was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating a huge wave in the entire venue!
The audience members, who had already packed up and were ready to leave, suddenly stopped in their tracks, their faces showing disbelief and astonishment, and then burst into a huge uproar and discussion!
Most of them had never even heard of "Donghai Academy Class Zero," but the name "Shrek Academy" was a household name!
Challenging Shrek?!
Or was this after Shrek Academy just displayed overwhelming strength yesterday?!
This is simply... incredibly audacious, yet filled with an indescribable sense of excitement and drama!
"Bang!!!"
Just as the entire venue was in an uproar over this sudden challenge, the heavy soundproof door of the broadcasting room was violently smashed open from the outside with tremendous force!
A group of people stormed in aggressively. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties with a livid face. He was clearly a member of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition Organizing Committee.
He never expected that someone would dare to break into the core broadcasting room and make such a lawless and public provocation!
He glanced at Huo Yuhao sitting in the anchor's seat, and his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He then rushed to the control panel and, with a "snap," decisively cut off all external broadcast lines.
After doing all this, he suddenly turned around, his eyes, almost spitting fire, glaring at Huo Yuhao. His chest heaved with anger as he shouted, "You?! You're from Donghai Academy?!"
Huo Yuhao had anticipated the swift and furious reaction from the league officials.
He calmly stood up from his seat, met the other person's furious gaze without flinching, and introduced himself.
"That's right."
"Donghai Academy, Class Zero student... Huo Yuhao!"
