I'll Break It with a Single Sword!

"Zhao Tao, watch out!"

Facing the Dark Beam unleashed by the Dark Eagle Dragon, Gu Yue hurriedly warned him.

At the same time, she controlled the Earth Element, gathering it into thick stone walls in front of Zhao Tao.

Rumble!

A terrifying roar rang out.

The Dark Beam tore through the dozens of stone walls Gu Yue had conjured as easily as it would through sheets of paper, shattering them in an instant!

But Gu Yue's stone walls hadn't been useless!

They had not only delayed the Dark Beam, but also weakened its power.

Faced with the weakened Dark Beam, Zhao Tao simply darted aside and easily avoided it!

Then, wielding the Time Burial Sword, he charged at the Dark Eagle Dragon formed by Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi!

Meanwhile,

Xie Xie, an Agility Attack System Soul Master, had already launched his attack!

He swung the Light Dragon Dagger and instantly appeared behind the Dark Eagle Dragon, activating his First Soul Skill, "Light Dragon Blade," and stabbing down with all his might!

However...

With a deafening clang, Xie Xie's full-force strike left only a shallow dent in the Dark Eagle Dragon's back!

Dark blood poured from the dent, but compared to the enormous Dark Shadow Dragon, it was nothing more than a drop in the ocean!

Instead, Xie Xie's attack thoroughly enraged the Dark Eagle Dragon!

It let out a furious roar and lashed its tail at Xie Xie!

As the Dark Eagle Dragon attacked, Xie Xie was just about to dodge.

But at that very moment, chains made of dark power suddenly appeared around his body!

They bound him in place!

"Oh no!"

Watching the Dark Eagle Dragon's tail sweep closer, Xie Xie could only hastily circulate his Soul Power and cross his Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger Martial Souls over his chest!

The next instant—

Thud!

With a muffled impact, Xie Xie was sent flying and crashed hard onto the ground!

At that moment,

his eyes were shut and his face was pale. He had already fallen unconscious!

Both his arms and his ribs were broken, and blood kept running from the corner of his mouth!

"Quick, get a Healing System Soul Master to treat this student!"

Watching the scene, Long Hengxu's face turned livid. He hurriedly called over a Healing System Soul Master to treat Xie Xie.

Then he turned to Ye Yingluo and scolded her. "Teacher Ye, how have you been teaching your students? How could they be so ruthless?"

"Director Long, I never expected them to use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"

"Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill is still incomplete. After using it, they lose some of their reason!"

"I repeatedly warned them not to use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill in the Class Promotion Tournament, but I never thought... things would turn out like this!"

"This is my fault. On behalf of First Grade Class One, I apologize and concede!"

Hearing Long Hengxu's words, Ye Yingluo lowered her head, a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Mm. We'll discuss disciplinary measures for this later."

"For now, Teacher Wu, your First Grade Class Five has won this battle!"

After hearing Ye Yingluo's explanation, Long Hengxu nodded with a gloomy expression. Then he turned and announced the result to Wu Changkong, intending to end the match.

"No, don't end the match."

"I want to see the limits of those two boys."

"If anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility!"

Hearing Long Hengxu, Wu Changkong shook his head and stopped him!

"All right."

Seeing that Wu Changkong was determined, Long Hengxu could only nod helplessly.

Just then, Zhao Tao made his move!

Wielding the Time Burial Sword and bolstered by Gu Yue, he rode the wind forward and charged right up to the Dark Eagle Dragon!

The Dark Eagle Dragon stood at least twice as tall as Zhao Tao, but his eyes remained as calm as an ancient well.

Martial Soul Fusion Skills were powerful, but they had weaknesses too!

As long as he found the right weakness and struck it precisely, he could forcibly interrupt the Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

What was more, the Dark Eagle Dragon formed by Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi was far from perfect. It had even more weaknesses, and they were even more obvious!

Of course...

Even weaknesses like these were nearly impossible to detect without the Spiritual Power of the Spirit Sea Realm or the cultivation of a Soul Saint!

Ordinary Soul Grandmasters and even Soul Masters had no chance of spotting them!

Unfortunately...

Reborn, Zhao Tao was no "ordinary Soul Master"!

Thanks to the combat instincts he had brought with him from his rebirth,

the more than ten weaknesses on the Dark Eagle Dragon stood out to him like glaring signs!

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill? I'll break it with a single sword!"

Looking at the Dark Eagle Dragon in the distance, Zhao Tao smiled with calm confidence and thrust out the Time Burial Sword in his hand!

Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi weren't about to let Zhao Tao attack them without resisting.

They whipped the Dark Eagle Dragon's tail toward Zhao Tao's chest!

At the same time, they repeated their earlier move, releasing several chains made of dark power!

"Brother Tao, watch out!"

Watching this, Tang Wulin couldn't help shouting from below.

After all, Xie Xie had just proven how terrifying the Dark Eagle Dragon's attack was with his own injuries!

"Break!"

Facing the chains surrounding him, Zhao Tao had already prepared himself. He simply swung his sword, striking the weak point of the dark chains!

A dazzling flash of sword light blazed forth, and the Time Burial Sword in Zhao Tao's hand easily cut the dark chains in two!

At the same time, Zhao Tao leaped into the air, avoiding the Dark Eagle Dragon's tail!

He immediately swung the Time Burial Sword straight into the Dark Eagle Dragon's chest—the location of one of the core weaknesses he had found!

Boom!

Amid a terrifying wave of black energy, the once-mighty Dark Eagle Dragon exploded!

Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi both crashed to the ground, their faces pale. The backlash from their Martial Soul Fusion Skill being broken had left them badly injured!

"How could that be? How was their Martial Soul Fusion Skill broken?"

"I heard Martial Soul Fusion Skills consume a lot of energy. Maybe they ran out of Soul Power!"

"First Grade Class Five got so lucky! They actually pulled off an incredible comeback!"

The surrounding students watched in astonishment and began discussing what had happened.

"He actually found the weakness in a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Was it luck, or instinct?"

"If it was the latter, Zhao Tao's potential might be boundless!"

Onlookers saw only the spectacle, but experts saw the skill. Only Wu Changkong, a true genius from Shrek Academy, had seen the real brilliance behind Zhao Tao's sword!

At that moment, Wu Changkong's mouth fell slightly open, and he couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath!

"I-I concede!"

Leaving aside everyone's astonishment, Wei Xiaofeng, the only remaining fighter from First Grade Class One, immediately chose to surrender!

After all, even Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi's Martial Soul Fusion Skill had been easily defeated. What chance did he have on his own?

"The champion of this Class Promotion Tournament is First Grade Class Five!"

"First Grade Class Five will also become the new First Grade Class One!"

"The other classes will each move up one class number!"

With the outcome decided, Long Hengxu ordered Healing System Soul Masters to treat Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi. Then he went to the center of the arena and announced the final results of the first-grade Class Promotion Tournament!
