Are You Going Down on Your Own, or Shall I Send You Down?

As the tiger claw drew closer and closer, Ma Hongjun's expression inside the ice seemed to grow even more terrified. He screamed wildly in his heart, No, no, no!!!

However, Ma Hongjun's cries were useless. The enormous tiger claw still came crashing down.

Bang!!!

With a single swipe, the block of ice sealing Ma Hongjun instantly exploded. Ma Hongjun spat out a mouthful of blood from the blow and was sent flying out of the Arena, his fate unknown.

"Ma Hongjun!!!"

Seeing this, Tang San and the others immediately cried out in alarm. Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and the others in the spectator stands even rose to their feet.

They knew the power of the Hell White Tiger. If Ma Hongjun took that claw without any preparation, he could even die from severe injuries.

Moreover, everything had happened too quickly. Even they had been unable to stop it in time.

Tap~

At that moment, Shui Wuchen landed atop the Articuno. He looked at the Hell White Tiger with some surprise. "They actually managed to control it."

Just before the Hell White Tiger struck the block of ice sealing Ma Hongjun, Shui Wuchen had clearly seen its speed slow considerably compared to before. It was obvious that the two people forming the Martial Soul Fusion Skill had reacted in time and held back their strength.

Otherwise, even though the ice he had created was fairly sturdy, Ma Hongjun would have lost half his life.

At the same time, the Soul Masters responsible for the students' safety finally reacted. They hurried over with several leaps and examined Ma Hongjun.

After a brief examination, they finally let out a sigh of relief. The injuries were serious, but they were not life-threatening. With treatment from a Healing Soul Master, it would not be a major issue.

They then shouted toward the Arena, "The injuries are under control. The match may continue!"

Seeing this, the Shrek members finally relaxed. As long as he was not dead, that was enough.

Before long, Tang San and the others focused their attention once more on the Hell White Tiger, as well as the Articuno and Shui Wuchen in the sky.

"Oscar, sausages!"

"Got it!"

As a handsome youth, beautiful almost to the point of looking feminine, recited his soul incantation, three sausages of different shapes appeared in his hands.

Tang San took the sausages and used his Hidden Weapons technique to toss the Flying Sausage toward the Hell White Tiger.

"Boss Dai, Zhu Zhuqing!"

Seeing this, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing immediately controlled the Hell White Tiger to open its huge jaws and swallow the Flying Sausage in one bite.

"Rongrong!"

"Understood."

At his words, the beautiful young girl with an air of nobility began to slowly rotate the seven-colored pagoda in her hand. All four soul rings around her lit up at once.

"The Nine Treasures have a name. First: strength. Second: speed. Third: soul..."

As Ning Rongrong continued chanting, beams of light flew from the pagoda in her hand and merged into the Hell White Tiger's body.

However, once she had finished, Ning Rongrong's face suddenly turned pale. Clearly, boosting something like the Hell White Tiger was an enormous burden even for her.

This was also why she had not chosen to support them when the Hell White Tiger had charged at Shui Bing'er earlier. If she had gone all out for Shui Bing'er and the others, they would have had no way to deal with Shui Wuchen afterward.

The next moment, a pair of translucent pink wings grew from the Hell White Tiger's body. Red light swirled around it, and its aura surged explosively.

Roar!!!!

Feeling the strength growing within its body, the Hell White Tiger could not help but let out a roar. It felt terrifyingly powerful now!

With a beat of its wings, the Hell White Tiger became an afterimage as it charged toward the Articuno in the air.

In the audience, Feng Xiaotian's expression shifted slightly when he saw this. He actually sensed a trace of threat from the Hell White Tiger.

Yet, facing the charging Hell White Tiger, the Articuno merely tilted to the side and evaded its attack.

"What??"

Seeing their attack miss, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing inside the Hell White Tiger were instantly shocked.

Oscar's Flying Sausage came from the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. Although it only lasted for one minute, it was incredibly fast.

They had also received Ning Rongrong's speed boost. How could the other side have dodged so easily?

"I refuse to believe Shui Wuchen is really that strong!"

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing gritted their teeth, then controlled the Hell White Tiger to launch even fiercer attacks at the Articuno and Shui Wuchen.

Yet every attack was casually avoided by the Articuno. Shui Wuchen watched the Hell White Tiger quietly, his expression as calm as ever, as though he was not facing a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill but some insignificant nobody.

"That's enough."

After a moment, Shui Wuchen murmured, transmitting his voice to the Articuno. "Articuno, finish it."

By now, Shui Wuchen had gained a rough understanding of the Hell White Tiger's maximum combat strength. At its absolute limit, it could barely exchange a few moves with a Soul Emperor, but that was all.

Therefore, Shui Wuchen did not wish to waste any more time with the Shrek Team. It was better to finish them directly.

"Woo~~~"

Hearing this, the Articuno beneath his feet nodded. With a sideways shift, she evaded the Hell White Tiger's attack.

After dodging the Hell White Tiger's attack, the Articuno suddenly turned her head. A ray of icy light shot from her beak and struck the Hell White Tiger.

The Hell White Tiger immediately seemed to have been struck by lightning, its body turning somewhat illusory.

Immediately afterward, the Hell White Tiger's body began to freeze. In less than a breath, it was frozen into a block of ice and began falling freely.

"Woo~~~"

At that moment, the Articuno flapped her wings, and an icy gale swept across the Arena, blowing the Hell White Tiger directly off the Arena.

Boom!!!

The Hell White Tiger crashed onto the ground, sending a thunderous sound through the venue. After landing, its body slowly began to fade away, revealing Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing once more. This time, however, they lay sprawled on the ground, clearly unconscious.

Boom—

The audience stared blankly for a moment before erupting into deafening cheers.

"Shui Wuchen!!!"

"Shui Wuchen!!!"

"Shui Wuchen!!!"

The spectators could not help shouting Shui Wuchen's name. Even such a powerful Hell White Tiger had been no match for him. Shui Wuchen's strength was beyond doubt.

On the Arena, Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were fighting Shui Bing'er and the others, also revealed shocked expressions when they saw this.

The Hell White Tiger, empowered by Ning Rongrong and Oscar, had actually lost—and lost so quickly.

According to Master Yu Xiaogang's calculations, the Hell White Tiger formed by Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, after receiving support from Ning Rongrong and Oscar, should have been fully capable of fighting a Soul Emperor.

Then Shui Wuchen turned his head and said calmly from atop the Articuno, "Will your Shrek Team admit defeat on your own, or should I throw you down?"
