The semifinal battle between Dio Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy quickly concluded with a clear victor. Although Dio Academy had Soul Emperor Jiang Peng holding the line, two fists are no match for four hands. He was eventually forced off the stage, fortunately without injury. Most frighteningly, to this point, none of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy's three aces had yet entered the fray.
In tomorrow's individual battles, Ma Rulong would appear, and Dio Academy would likely face the same outcome. Jiang Peng might be able to defeat a few of his opponents, but he absolutely couldn't withstand their continuous relay attacks.
"Brother Long, tell Big Brother Jiang that it's okay to lose this time. When I arrive, I will definitely help him win it back in the future!"
After Yuwen Tuo finished speaking, he returned to the battlefield where Shrek was facing the Star Luo National Academy. That side was still fiercely engaged.
Although Xu Jiujiu was only a Soul King, the combat power she displayed was no less than that of Soul Emperor Dai Yaohong. The Star Crown, the top-tier inherited martial soul of the Star Luo Empire's Xu family, originated from a mysterious sect, the Star Crown Sect. While its auxiliary capabilities were slightly inferior to the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, this martial soul was not just for support; it also possessed very strong combat abilities.
Xu Jiujiu's combination of Star Guidance, Starfall, and Star's Protection, coupled with soul tool combos, even restricted Ma Xiaotao for a while. What she used was a seventh-tier defensive soul tool, Absolute Defense. Although it was only seventh-tier, its defensive power was no less than that of an eighth-tier. It was unfortunate that this was a single-use item. The Star Luo Empire taking out such an item for the victory of a single match truly showed their immense wealth.
The "Star's Protection" ability possessed the power to isolate attributes. When attached to Absolute Defense, it could temporarily negate Ma Xiaotao's ultimate fire. A Soul Saint without an ultimate attribute, even one with a top-tier martial soul like the Fire Phoenix, was still just a Soul Saint. Ma Xiaotao absolutely could not instantly break through this Absolute Defense unless she activated her Martial Soul Avatar.
However, a Soul Saint was not a Title Douluo after all. The Martial Soul Avatar was their trump card, not something that could be used as a regular skill, activated whenever desired, like a Title Douluo would. She planned to save her Martial Soul Avatar for the battle against the Sun Moon Royal Academy. If she used it now, she might not recover before the next battle.
On the other side, Shrek's second strongest member, Soul Emperor Dai Yaohong, was also suppressed by his opponent, Huang Heyun, the Star Luo National Academy's second-ranked individual. In terms of strength, Huang Heyun was certainly far from Dai Yaohong's match.
However, after Absolute Defense, Star Luo brought out a new soul tool: the Nine Revolving Soul Transformation Device. This was a top-tier soul tool that could convert the soul power attributes of different soul masters into a single, unified attribute. With this, the soul power of various soul masters could be fused and then concentrated into one person, granting them the strongest amplification, far exceeding that of the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda.
Simply put, it was the technological version of Yu Xiaogang's aberrant fusion theory. In such a situation, Huang Heyun's temporary burst power was almost at the level of a Soul Saint. How could Dai Yaohong be his opponent? For a time, Shrek Academy was completely at a disadvantage.
Yuwen Tuo's gaze turned to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who were hiding at the back of the Shrek team. In this match, Shrek's key depended on them.
"Yuhao, our soul power has already condensed. Now is the opportunity to unleash our fusion skill, but we can only use one. You decide, Golden Road or Emperor's Hammer?" Wang Dong asked. Due to Huo Yuhao's strength being far inferior to his original counterpart, his second martial soul was even just the Ice Jade Scorpion, not the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. They could no longer use the combo of weakening Star's Protection's defense with Golden Road and then breaking through with Emperor's Hammer.
But with just the Emperor's Hammer, Huo Yuhao had no confidence whatsoever in breaking through the Soul King's Star's Protection.
"No, Wang Dong, we'll use that move!"
"You mean... but, we haven't completely perfected that move yet." Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao had a tacit understanding; she knew what Huo Yuhao meant. It was their fourth, and strongest, martial soul fusion skill.
"We can definitely do it. This is for Shrek's glory, we must take this gamble!" Huo Yuhao said seriously.
"Okay, then let's try it!" Wang Dong also had a confident personality. Since Huo Yuhao said so, how could she shrink back?
The two clasped hands. A burst of colorful light shone on their bodies, instantly attracting Xu Jiujiu's attention, "What are they preparing to do?"
Wang Dong's Radiant Goddess Butterfly wings unfurled. The golden-blue wings expanded at an astonishing speed, doubling in size in an instant. The original Radiant Goddess Butterfly wings only had forewings and hindwings, but now they had an additional pair of emerald middle wings, crystal clear and vividly vibrant.
The dazzling butterfly wings unfurled, as if countless water droplets were gently rolling, myriad lights shimmering. Layers of icy aura emanated from beneath their feet, making their gradually slender figures appear so stunningly beautiful.
Unbeknownst to them, the surroundings were already covered in ice and snow. The merged entity of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong shimmered faintly within the blizzard. Soon, everyone saw clearly that it was a woman, seemingly a young maiden who had just come of age. Her long, pink-blue hair cascaded down to her feet, and her eyes sparkled with brilliant golden light.
A perfect face, indeed enough to make ordinary beauties feel overshadowed. Even someone like Jiang Nan Nan, heralded as Shrek Outer Court's foremost beauty, seemed inferior in comparison.
"That's Tang Wutong's true appearance, Garment of Light. I didn't expect this Martial Soul Fusion Skill to appear early," Yuwen Tuo mused.
It was completely different from the earlier Golden Road. This Martial Soul Fusion Skill was not an ultimate technique that delivered a single, most powerful strike. Instead, it was a state-type Martial Soul Fusion Skill, similar to the Netherworld White Tiger, but its amplification degree was several times greater than the Netherworld White Tiger's. When using this Martial Soul Fusion, with Wang Dong as the dominant force, they could also use all the skills they both possessed.
"Light of the Butterfly God!"
The Garment of Light spread its wings and quickly flew towards the Star's Protection. A pink laser beam struck the surface of the Star's Protection, actually causing cracks to appear on the surface in just one move.
Ma Xiaotao felt the outer attack and shouted, "Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, let's attack from inside and outside together! Sixth Soul Skill, Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike!"
"Butterfly God's Slash!"
The Garment of Light cooperated with Ma Xiaotao. The slash of the Butterfly God's Slash and Ma Xiaotao's flames simultaneously struck the Star's Protection and Absolute Defense from both inside and outside. No matter how formidable these two combined defenses were, they had but one fate when faced with such an attack: destruction.
"What? Absolute Defense, shattered?" Xu Jiujiu exclaimed in shock. She had never imagined that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong would possess such a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill, capable of perfectly cooperating with Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao broke free, and the power of her Ultimate Fire had also recovered. There was no one else on the entire field who was her match.
"Star Luo National Academy, all of you, fall! Fifth Soul Skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower!"
