Sun Moon Empire's Last Member, Meng Hongchen
"They are darkness, they are heretics!"
Ma Rulong shouted loudly, his voice booming like a bell, echoing across the vast Star Luo Square.
He held the sword with both hands, then suddenly flipped the black and white greatsword, pointing the black side of the blade at Ma Xiaotao.
As soon as he finished speaking, a black light shot out from the giant sword. The light was as black as ink and its target was Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Evil Fire surged, and crimson flames shot into the sky, completely enveloping her.
She attempted to neutralize the eerie black light with an extremely high temperature, hot enough to melt steel; she refused to believe any attack could penetrate the barrier.
To her surprise, the black light passed through the Phoenix Evil Fire's defenses without any hindrance and entered her body directly.
Although she didn't know what the black light was, Ma Xiaotao's heart tightened, and she knew something was wrong.
The moment that power entered her body, she felt an indescribable eeriness, a chilling darkness.
Sure enough, she then felt something strange coming from inside her body.
That black power spread rapidly like a virus, intertwining with the Phoenix Evil Fire within her body.
The flames around him gradually changed from crimson to dark red, and then from dark red to pitch black.
The black flames surged around her, emanating a chilling aura that seemed poised to engulf her entirely.
In the audience, Huo Yuhao suddenly stood up!
His expression was more solemn than ever before, and a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes.
Without a second thought, his voice instantly echoed throughout the entire square, "Shrek concedes defeat in this match!"
Although he is only Soul King and not the one with the highest cultivation level in the competition, he is still the captain of the Shrek Team.
Upon hearing this, referee Huang Jinxu immediately declared Ma Rulong of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy the winner!
As soon as the words were spoken, the protective shield on the arena slowly opened.
A tall figure instantly leaped onto the arena; it was Xuan Zi.
He could also see that something was wrong with Ma Xiaotao. Those strange black flames were clearly the appearance of the Phoenix Evil Fire erupting!
Earthy yellow Soul Power surged out from Xuan Zi's body instantly, forming a thick barrier that enveloped Ma Xiaotao's entire body.
That powerful and steady Soul Power suppressed the black flames surrounding Ma Xiaotao.
Xuan Zi grabbed Ma Xiaotao's shoulder with one hand, and in a flash, he lifted her to the Preparation Area.
Huo Yuhao stepped forward, his right index finger gently touching Ma Xiaotao's shoulder.
A surge of extreme cold energy erupted from his body, flowing down his fingertips and into Ma Xiaotao's body.
Immediately, the black flames around Ma Xiaotao's body began to gradually extinguish.
Instead, streaks of frost appeared on her skin.
The frost spread from my shoulders, climbed up my neck, ran over my arms, and covered my whole body.
In the end, she was completely Ice Seal in a layer of emerald green ice, crystal clear, like an ice sculpture.
Shrek Academy's sudden surrender naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Tens of thousands of eyes turned to the Preparation Area, and then everyone was stunned by the scene of Ma Xiaotao being Ice Seal.
Most people thought Huo Yuhao was a Support Type Soul Master, but now his finger strike has left everyone completely baffled.
They couldn't figure out what exactly was going on with the ice that sealed Ma Xiaotao.
What kind of trick is Huo Yuhao using now?
On the city wall, a glint of light flashed in Princess Xu Jiujiu's eyes.
A slight smile played on her lips as she thought to herself, "My Second Martial Soul is indeed of the Ice Attribute."
She had this suspicion after Huo Yuhao took the Ice Attribute left arm bone, and now it has finally been confirmed.
On the other side, White Tiger Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Palace had a solemn expression.
He already knew that Huo Yuhao possessed Twin Martial Souls, but it seemed that neither of these martial souls had anything to do with the White Tiger!
After Ma Xiaotao was eliminated, Dai Yueheng was the third student from the Shrek Academy to take the stage.
He had clearly seen Ma Xiaotao's miserable state just now, and the strangeness of that black and white giant sword made him dare not be careless in the slightest.
With Huo Yuhao's reminder in the Preparation Area, he was naturally extremely wary of Ma Rulong's Judgment Sword.
However, Ma Rulong was not like Huo Yuhao, who was a master of swordsmanship.
Although his Judgment Sword is incredibly powerful, close combat is not his forte.
Under Dai Yueheng's cautious yet forceful attacks, the ferocity of the White Tiger Martial Soul and the strength of Soul Emperor were fully unleashed. Ma Rulong was overwhelmed and ultimately defeated.
After that, Dai Yueheng easily defeated another Soul King from the Sun Moon Team.
Now, only one member remains from the Sun Moon Team.
Ma Rulong's earlier words clearly had an effect, so even with only one player left and a slim chance of winning, the Sun Moon Team did not give up.
The last person to walk onto the stage was a young woman who had never competed before.
She was stunningly beautiful, with a cool and aloof demeanor. Her long silver hair cascaded down to her waist, shimmering softly in the sunlight.
Those blue eyes were clear as water, yet they also carried a chilling aura that kept people at a distance.
Anyone who sees her would call her absolutely stunning.
And all that everyone knows about her right now is that her name is Meng Hongchen.
As the competition began, after Meng Hongchen's Martial Soul Possession, her eyes turned crimson, a deep, blood-red color that added to her allure.
However, when everyone saw that she was only a Five-Ring Soul King, although they were amazed, they were even more convinced that Shrek Academy was bound to win!
After all, a Soul King cannot turn the tide alone.
Dai Yueheng is a level 64 Soul Emperor, a whole realm lower than him, how could he possibly win?
Everyone thought so, but the final result was beyond everyone's expectations.
In the end, it was indeed the young girl Meng Hongchen who defeated the Soul Emperor Dai Yueheng.
She didn't rely on real strength, but on a method that no one could defend against— the Ice Toad Poison.
Meng Hongchen's martial soul, the Zhuqing Ice Toad, is born with a deadly poison of the Ice Attribute.
Having fought two battles in a row, Dai Yueheng was already quite exhausted, with most of his Soul Power gone.
Under the continued corrosive effects of the Ice Toad Poison, he finally succumbed, his legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees on the arena.
Referee Huang Jinxu leaped down and declared Meng Hongchen the winner.
The audience erupted in uproar, but the Sun Moon Empire's Preparation Area burst into long-suppressed cheers.
In the Shrek Academy's Preparation Area, Huo Yuhao stood up.
Although Meng Hongchen's exertion was considerable, the others probably couldn't withstand her Ice Toad Cold Poison.
Without him, Sun Moon Team might actually have won this battle.
No one doubted Huo Yuhao's strength, and they watched him walk onto the arena.
Huo Yuhao appeared quite a few times in this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, but the only time he truly showcased his strength was during the previous battle against the Zhengtian Academy.
In that battle, he crushed Ye Wuqing, the captain of the Zhengtian Academy, letting everyone know that he was not a weak Support Type Soul Master.
When Huo Yuhao reappeared, cheers erupted from the audience!
"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!"
"Huo Yuhao! Huo Yuhao! Huo Yuhao!"
The two voices intertwined, rising and falling like waves, echoing across the vast Star Luo Square.
Tens of thousands of eyes were fixed on that tall, slender figure, anticipating that this young man would bring another surprise.
Meng Hongchen stood at the other end of the arena, her breathing somewhat rapid.
Her Soul Power was greatly depleted, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
But her face was cold, and her crimson eyes were fixed on Huo Yuhao. There was no fear or retreat in her gaze, only a calm vigilance.
She wasn't sure if she could defeat this mysterious opponent.
She had studied Huo Yuhao's information many times, but the more she studied it, the more unfathomable it seemed.
What exactly is his martial spirit?
Just how strong is he?
How many cards does he still have up his sleeve?
She couldn't answer any of these questions.
But now that we're already here, we have no choice but to give it our all!
