"Not bad, a good spirit fusion skill. And it looks like this is your first time performing spirit fusion, right? Practice more, it will benefit you in the future."

Having just gotten serious, Elder Xuan, while still munching on a chicken leg, teleported off the field to continue watching the battle.

Having witnessed his younger brother's crushing defeat once again, Dai Yueheng could only stand on the sidelines, close his eyes, and sigh deeply. Under the threat of two pairs of eyes, he decided to give up everything, after all, Huo Yuhao was also his younger brother!

After defeating the formidable enemy, the Netherworld White Tiger, the subsequent battle was a complete rout. In just a few breaths, only Huo Yuhao and his seven companions remained. Even Elder Xuan, who had been watching the entire battle, could only sigh. Later, he approached the seven and, looking at their formation, said with a hint of helplessness.

"Putting everything else aside, your team has at least three and a half offensive attackers, two and a half control-type Soul Masters, plus one agility-type Soul Master. You really don't have a single support-type Soul Master?"

As he spoke, Elder Xuan shook his head helplessly. After all, the power and importance of support-type Soul Masters were almost self-evident, especially now that the island system was booming. Support-type Soul Masters, not to mention anything else, could be used as half a power-attack-type Soul Master in terms of combat power alone. In terms of support ability, their help to the team was simply boundless.

Huo Yuhao, who had somewhat guessed Elder Xuan's thoughts, immediately raised his hand in response.

"Old man, actually I can be used as a support-type Soul Master."

As he spoke, the third spirit ring among the three disguised spirit rings flashed slightly. Under the control of his powerful mental energy, even Elder Xuan's emotions were stirred up.

"To stir up emotions?"

With a thought, he calmed his suddenly stirred emotions and internal energy. Looking at this unconventional support-type Soul Master, Elder Xuan couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration.

"You Soul Masters who purely cultivate spiritual power are truly remarkable. You can make any Soul Skill into something extraordinary in the future. While you have enough support on the field, you sometimes also need support off the field!"

"Xu He, you can come out now!"

"Alright, alright, senior. I didn't expect I'd actually get a chance to show up! I wonder if I'll get to compete against my cousin in this Soul Battle?"

A somewhat simple and honest voice, accompanied by a roar, approached from afar.

In an instant, a black mech nearly four meters tall also fell from the sky, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Well, my name is Xu He. I come from the Sun Moon Continent. I am 16 years old, a level 46 Battle Soul Master, my Martial Soul is Cigar, I am a Food-type Soul Master, a Level 5 Soul Master, a Level 5 Blacksmith, and a Level 5 Mecha Pilot."

The numerous titles, along with the actual age and soul power level, caused everyone present to twitch slightly. After all, everyone knew exactly what level level five was in the current soul master rating system, especially someone who had become a level five blacksmith, a level five soul master, or even a level five mecha master, before reaching level 50.

It made everyone present feel like they'd been completely outplayed.

"Ahem, since Xu He has already introduced himself, let me add two more points. Xu He comes from the Xu family of the Sun Moon Continent and was an exchange student from the Sun Moon Island Technology Academy who was with Shrek Academy in the previous year. From today onwards, he is a member of your team. Do you understand?"

"Understood" ×8

Looking at the energetic little monsters, seeing the future in them, the Shrek Elder, basking in glory, stroked his beard and chuckled happily.

After a moment, he solemnly announced it.

"In that case, I hereby declare the Shrek Eight Monsters Candidate Team officially established! Yueheng, come and get to know your juniors! By the way, we'll have a martial soul sparring match later to increase our teamwork."

"Understood, Elder Xuan."

"Then I'll take these little ones out first. You all can start introducing yourselves so your juniors can get to know you better!"

After saying that, Elder Xuan disappeared instantly, along with a large group of young men and women who had gathered outside the venue, looking at Huo Yuhao and his group with envy.

The candidates for Shrek Eight Monsters—they are practically the rightful next Shrek Eight Monsters! That's the path to becoming a Title Douluo, a chance to run for the Sea God Pavilion Elder, and reach the pinnacle of power and authority on the Douluo Continent!
