From the audience's perspective.

The final result of this clash of titans will undoubtedly be a resounding victory for the Shrek Academy!

In underground casinos, the odds for this final match were an astonishing 10 to 1, a completely one-sided situation.

Clearly, few people are optimistic about the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Master Academy, and among these few are even gamblers hoping to make a fortune.

The saying "Rome wasn't built in a day" holds true. Shrek's strength is beyond doubt, a reputation built up by generations of students, a fact deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

Although there are only five Starting Member in this year's team.

But unsurprisingly, this Shrek Team is definitely the strongest ever.

Especially after Ma Xiaotao, who revealed her Soul Saint cultivation level, appeared.

This call has reached its peak.

Soul Saint at twenty years old is truly a chosen one of heaven!

It should be noted that the last time Soul Saint appeared in the Soul Master Tournament was several hundred years ago.

The Soul Ancestor, whose strength is comparable to that of a high-level Soul Emperor, is something that has never been heard of before.

It seems that even the Sea God of yesteryear was far inferior.

So what if there are five people?

Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao alone are enough to carry the whole team.

However, the lineup of this year's students at the Sun Moon Royal Academy is also extremely strong.

The audience is eagerly anticipating the final battle, looking forward to this grand spectacle of battle between Soul Tool and Soul Skill.

However, no one expected the situation to be so one-sided.

In their view, once the Big Father of the Sun Moon faction was outmaneuvered by Xu Sanshi's exchange tactics, they were completely out of the game.

It can be said that the Sun Moon Team is on the verge of collapse!

It's him again!

It really is Huo Yuhao!

Ma Rulong was also suffering in silence.

He's so stupid, really!

Even though they knew Huo Yuhao possessed Twin Martial Souls, their attention was completely drawn to the terrifying destructive power of his Second Martial Soul Ultimate Ice.

Completely unprepared for this unassuming Spirit Eyes Martial Soul.

But who could have predicted this kind of cooperation?

Besides, they had already equipped themselves with a trigger-type mental Defensive Soul Tool to guard against Darknether Displacement. Even if the level was not high, it was more than enough to deal with Xu Sanshi.

Why was I able to be swapped over?

Huo Yuhao: That's right, it is I.

Under the deliberately generated intense mental fluctuations, while attracting the attention of the Sun Moon faction, the triggered mental Defensive Soul Tool was also silently suppressed.

Moreover, if someone pays close attention, they will notice.

The Darknether Displacement Black Line released by Xu Sanshi earlier, just as it was about to be blocked by Lin Xi's Soul Guidance Shield, strangely changed direction and accurately hit Ma Rulong.

This change happened so fast; no one expected that Xu Sanshi's Darknether Displacement could be used in this way.

Of course, it would be impossible to control it so precisely if it were only based on Xu Sanshi's Darknether Displacement.

However, with the guidance of Huo Yuhao, a Grandmaster of Spiritual Power, everything became much simpler.

After the replacement was successful, Huo Yuhao's black Fourth Spirit Ring flickered, and a faintly shining starlight-like engraving slowly disappeared.

The phantom of the Star Crown Martial Soul appeared, centered on Huo Yuhao, and burst forth with a dazzling starlight storm, a layer of light shield enveloping the six Shrek members Ma Rulong.

Star's Protection!

The battlefield was instantly divided.

At the same time, the moment Xu Sanshi switched places, he immediately raised his hand to indicate that he had lost.

My mission is complete!!

The Heavenly Fiend Douluo pulled Xu Sanshi off the competition stage.

Xiao Hongchen looked at the Star's Protection and his vision went completely black.

What should I do?

Old Ma, oh Old Ma! Ah!

As a top student of the Mingde Hall and the captain of this year's Sun Moon Team, Ma Rulong made a decisive decision when he was in dire straits.

Wall of Resilience, save me!

Before discussing this level 6 Defensive Soul Tool, we need to talk about the Invincible Barrier.

The Invincible Barrier, also known as the Lesser Wall of Tenacity.

Because the Invincible Barrier can only be used once, it is extremely expensive.

The shields currently available on the market are generally level six Invincible Barrier. They only require a certain amount of Soul Power, and the special crystals inside will provide enough energy to support the shield for three seconds, achieving the defensive power of an eight-ring defensive Soul Master in a short time.

As for the Wall of Resilience.

Although its defensive power is slightly lower than that of the Invincible Barrier, it is just right for defending against attacks from Soul Saint and below.

Moreover, it is not a disposable Soul Tool; it can be used multiple times.

Most importantly, it is triggered automatically, so even if Ma Rulong is attacked without any reaction, the Wall of Resilience will protect him on its own.

This is much better than the Invincible Barrier.

Of course, the drawback of this kind of Soul Tool is that it requires the Soul Master's own Soul Power to trigger or to continuously provide Soul Power to use it.

The Soul Power consumption is huge!

Now, Ma Rulong has entered a phase of trusting his teammates.

They could only hope that the Wall of Resilience would buy them some time.

Xiao Hongchen did not disappoint Lao Ma's expectations.

After a moment of stunned silence, he took over the command.

Continue with the tactics, blast it to smithereens!

In an instant, the Soul Tool, which had been ready to go, was activated.

Light, orbs of light, and projectiles instantly soared into the sky, spreading like a peacock's tail, covering the sky and earth, rushing towards the Star's Protection with astonishing speed and piercing shrieks.

Don't underestimate the drug-addicted Soul King!

Even if some of them have weak cultivation and unstable foundation, their Soul Power Level is real.

As Soul Engineer, they use Soul King- level Soul Power to activate Soul Tool, resulting in an incredibly terrifying attack frequency, and their power even surpasses the Soul Skill released by traditional Soul King.

Previously, in the Team Battle against the Di'ao Academy, the Sun Moon Team used this all-around Soul Tool burst to suppress enemy fire from a distance and easily win.

They had planned to suppress Shrek Academy from a distance beforehand, preventing them from getting close.

The rescue team leader's actions at this moment were a lucky accident.

More is better, bigger is better!

Xiao Hongchen is a devout follower of the Multi-Turret Cult.

His Martial Soul is the Three-Legged Golden Toad, which allows him to control metal and makes him perfectly suited for Soul Tool tactics.

With a wave of his hands, he scattered at least a hundred metal balls.

The next moment, Xiao Hongchen, with his three legs, squatted down slightly, and his first and Third Soul Ring lit up one after another.

The Control of Gold, the Solidification of Gold!

Centered around a metal sphere suspended in mid-air, thick Metal Cannon Barrel emerge, transforming into 128 cannon barrels of varying appearances.

The second and Fourth Spirit Ring lit up.

Boiling of Gold, Sacrifice of Gold!

The 128 Soul Tool Cannon cannons, all composed of level-5 Soul Tool, lit up with golden flames, emitting a dazzling brilliance. The terrifying aura caused the surrounding audience to turn pale with fright.

With a clang, a burst of metallic energy erupted.

Their target is the Star's Protection.

At the same time.

Ma Rulong is now facing a direct attack from Shrek's gang.

Apart from Huo Yuhao, the group, led by Ma Xiaotao and working with Ling Luochеn, formed a pincer movement with a combination of [Ice and Fire Duality].

However, in the blink of an eye, more than 30% of Ma Rulong's Soul Power was extracted by the Wall of Resilience.

More importantly...

The halo shield was visibly cracking.

The supposedly Wall of Resilience, a high-level version of the trigger-activated Invincible Barrier, proved utterly powerless at this moment.

Ma Rulong decisively activated the Invincible Barrier!

It's not that he doesn't want to attack.

However, he had no time to output anything at that moment.

Aside from Defensive Soul Tool, there wasn't even enough time to activate any other Soul Tool!

These old coin collectors were already prepared.

Ma Rulong, who was suddenly replaced, had no time to react, and the Wall of Resilience automatically protected him.

With the destruction of the Wall of Resilience, Invincible Barrier is seamlessly connected.

Three seconds left!

Under the protection of the Invincible Barrier.

Finally able to catch his breath, Ma Rulong unhesitatingly activated his Soul Power Amplification and Soul Power Burst Spirit Ring.

He wore a huge helmet on his head, and his head shone with a strong black light.

The Big-Headed Spirit Ape a support-type Beast Martial Soul that can enhance Ma Rulong's Spiritual Power, greatly helping him control and use Soul Tool.

This is one of the key reasons why he was able to use and manufacture Level 7 Soul Tool beyond his level.

Shouldering the golden level-seven Soul Tool Cannon, Ma Rulong's emotions seemed unaffected by being deep in enemy territory.

His hands were very steady, and his eyes were fixed intently on the greatest threat Ma Xiaotao, ready to go all out.

As for the Level 8 Soul Tool, the Sword of Judgment.

Let's save that for the individual battles later.

Faced with attacks from all sides, it would be utterly absurd to even think about drawing one's sword at this moment.

Are you out of your mind?

Using the Sword of Judgment rashly will only hasten your exit by needlessly revealing your trump cards.

Although his golden Level 7 Soul Tool was only a single-target attack, its destructive power was extremely strong, and it would be no problem to drag someone down with him before leaving.

Sensing that all was lost, Ma Rulong began a final struggle.

"Boom boom boom!"

A violent roar exploded on the Star Power Light Shield, and the aftershocks of the violent Soul Power impact spread out. The terrifying power forced the 108 Soul Master maintaining the Soul Tool shield of the arena to increase their input of Soul Power.

The dense barrage of Soul Tool fire, capable of striking fear into even Soul Saint level experts, was blocked head-on by the Star Power Light Shield.

It was as solid as a fortress, but as the Star Power Light Shield it, the stars gradually dimmed.

The remaining dozen or so stars still shone brightly.

Because of the age limit of the Spirit Ring, the Star's Protection used by Huo Yuhao is much more robust than the one Xu Jiujiu used back then.

Unless it's Soul Douluo himself.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to break through this impregnable defense in such a short time.

This has led to the current situation.

This is Shrek's version of battlefield division.

Compared to the Star Luo Empire's defensive counter-attack tactics, it is more proactive and more sophisticated.

With the ability to Darknether Displacement, Shrek can both attack and defend, making their tactics incredibly flexible.

It can be said that Shrek has seized upon the only weakness of the Sun Moon Team.

Shrek's tactics were like a sharp blade, precisely piercing the Sun Moon Team's weak point.

That's the Soul Power Level!

Soul Power Level affects the quality and quantity of Soul Power.

Generally speaking, to unleash greater combat power, one must consume more Soul Power.

On the Sun Moon Team, only Ma Rulong reached the Soul Emperor.

The configuration of one Soul Emperor and six Soul King may seem luxurious, but it is completely inadequate in front of Shrek's two " Soul Saint ".

However, don't be fooled by how easily Huo Yuhao uses Soul Saint- level combat techniques.

That's because the Ultimate Ice already has a solid foundation of Soul Power.

With the help of the Wine Gu to refine his Soul Power, it can be said that Huo Yuhao's current Soul Power Quality is in no way inferior to that of an ordinary Soul Saint.

Even though his total Soul Power was slightly inferior, Huo Yuhao was under no pressure thanks to the help of the Four-Turn Heavenly Origin Treasure Lord Lotus, which was a mobile source of blue water.

Tactics are, in fact, a form of intelligence warfare.

With his foresight and strategic advantage, Huo Yuhao controlled the general direction of the tactics, making success inevitable.

As the saying goes, when you're poor, use tactical maneuvers; when you're successful, use overwhelming firepower.

With Soul Saint Ma Xiaotao present, if Huo Yuhao were to reveal some of his strength, he could indeed Inverted Heavenly Gang and directly suppress the Soul Engineer's firepower from a distance.

But there's really no need to do that.

There's no benefit to it.

Besides, the Star's Protection has already been copied.

It would feel like a shame not to do it this way.

I want to see that look on your faces, that expression of resentment and helplessness!!

"This is impossible!!"

The members of the Sun Moon Team stared blankly at the unharmed Star's Protection, their expressions twisted in disbelief.

Xiao Hongchen, in particular, was immediately thrown off balance, unable to believe that his proud attack had been blocked so easily.

Finally, Meng Hongchen stopped them from continuing their attack, "Stop attacking, don't waste your Soul Power!"

A single word awakened me from my dream.

The other five people then realized what was happening.

Yes, Shrek Academy is clearly wasting their Soul Power!

After hesitating for a short while, they all decided to give up the rescue.

Captain/Lockhorse, may you rest in peace!

The six members of the Sun Moon Team naturally had no intention of admitting defeat. Instead, they took the steamed buns from Xiao Xiafeng, a Food System Tool Soul Master, and quickly restored their Soul Power.

Especially Xiao Hongchen, whose full-force attack just now consumed nearly 50% of his Soul Power.

At the same time, they were also preparing the Soul Tool that needed to be released next.

The moment the Invincible Barrier ends.

Ma Rulong's Soul Power suddenly erupted, and a thin, blood-red beam of light shot out, aimed directly at Ma Xiaotao in the air.

The Ultra-High Temperature Soul Tool Ray, reaching level seven, is even more terrifying than Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Flame during her Soul Emperor era.

Even a powerful Soul Saint could be instantly killed if caught off guard and struck in a vital spot.

With Huo Yuhao's advance warning, Ma Xiaotao didn't intend to confront him head-on. Instead, she activated her Soul Power and ignited her fifth Spirit Ring.

Phoenix Flame rapidly rose around her, Ma Xiaotao's figure disappeared into them, transforming into flames.

With a whoosh, the beam of light pierced through the flames, and wherever the red light passed, the air emitted a burnt smell.

Under Huo Yuhao's precise control, the Star's Protection opened a small hole, from which the Ultra-High Temperature Soul Tool Ray shot out directly, eventually piercing through the Soul Power shield outside the arena and flying far away, causing countless people to gasp in amazement.

At the same time, crimson flames soared into the sky, transforming into a delicate and magnificent Fire Phoenix, which pounced on Ma Rulong, who had already been controlled by Ling Luochеn and Tang Ya.

Phoenix Cloud Piercing Strike!

Before Ma Rulong could even admit defeat, he was attacked from both sides by ice and fire and fainted on the spot.

This is the price of greed.

If he had surrendered prematurely within the Invincible Barrier, Huo Yuhao, with his strong martial virtue, might have considered letting him go.

In this way, Ma Rulong might be able to preserve his strength and stay in the individual competition to continue fighting.

But a one-for-one trade is not an option!

Having Xu Sanshi with you is enough; do you really want to drag someone else down with you?

Keep dreaming.

Huo Yuhao even secretly followed up with a Soul Shock to ensure that the other party was not at risk of waking up in a short period of time.

Plans have changed; we're now focused on winning!

Huo Yuhao planned to finish the job in one battle!

One Team Battle is enough.
