Five Release: Great Barrage Technique

"What? Huo Yuhao, what on earth are you doing?!"

Seeing that Huo Yuhao not only failed to stop Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu from using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but even seemed to kindly assist them by kicking Dai Huabin toward Zhu Lu, Wang Dong cried out anxiously.

This was insane!

They could have won easily, so why create such a desperate situation for themselves?

Did he care so little about winning just to humiliate his opponent?

Not far away, Dai Huabin lay in Zhu Lu's arms, his face covered in blood.

He glared viciously at Huo Yuhao, the hatred in his eyes overflowing, almost materializing into tangible flames.

"Huo Yuhao..."

"I'll repay the humiliation I suffered just now ten thousandfold!"

"Zhu Lu, fuse!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the two quickly embraced.

The Soul Power they had practiced countless times before produced a marvelous resonance at that moment.

The White Tiger and the Hell Spirit Cat perfectly melded together.

The sensation was strange.

In their field of vision, the enormous White Tiger Phantom opened its jaws as if swallowing the petite black Hajimi whole.

Boom!

Intense Soul Power fluctuations erupted from the center of their embrace like a volcanic explosion.

Black and white light completely merged amid the spreading golden glow, transforming into a pillar of light that reached the heavens and earth.

This was a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

A Martial Soul Fusion Skill had never been as simple as one plus one equaling two.

Even two completely identical martial souls might not possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. It required complementary traits and a perfect match.

When the light faded, both Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu had vanished.

In their place stood a massive beast over eight meters long and two meters tall.

Its body was translucent, its snowy-white fur marked with black demonic patterns. Its enormous purple double pupils radiated suffocating pressure as it coldly looked down upon the few tiny humans before it.

The Hell White Tiger had descended!

On the spectator platform.

Looking at the majestic giant tiger, Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, smacked his lips and shook his head regretfully.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"This Huo Yuhao was too careless. His temperament is lacking! He actually let that boy from the Dai Clan use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Looks like he has no chance at the championship."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yan Shaozhe beside him and said meaningfully,

"A troublemaker like this would only cause problems in your Martial Soul Department. How about..."

"Old Qian, cut it out!"

Yan Shaozhe immediately snapped, glaring furiously.

"You're just trying to poach him, aren't you? Don't think I don't know what you're up to!"

"Huo Yuhao is an unprecedented five-element Twin Martial Souls soul master. A peerless genius like him, given to your Soul Guidance Department? Can you people who play with Potato Soul Tools even train him properly?"

Qian Duoduo's expression turned serious. He put away his playful grin and said solemnly,

"Old Yan, times have changed."

"The era of soul masters is about to end. Next comes the era of Soul Engineers. The cultivation resources you can provide, our Soul Guidance Department can provide as well. But the knowledge of soul tools we can teach him is something you know nothing about!"

The two deans argued on the platform until their faces were red.

Clearly, even though the Hell White Tiger capable of sweeping through the freshmen had appeared on the field, all their attention remained on Huo Yuhao.

As for Dai Huabin?

He was spectacularly ignored.

After all, mildly talented geniuses like Dai Huabin were common, but a once-in-a-millennium, generation-defining genius like Huo Yuhao—like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara in the Ninja World—was exceedingly rare.

On the arena.

The Hell White Tiger threw back its head and unleashed an earth-shaking roar.

"Roar—!!!"

Terrifying sound waves, mixed with near-tangible Soul Power shockwaves, instantly swept across the entire arena.

"Ah!"

Xiao Xiao, with only two soul rings, simply could not withstand an impact of this level. Even though she desperately used the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to block it, she and her cauldron were both blown away. She crashed directly out of the arena and fell unconscious.

A single roar eliminated one person.

Wang Dong struggled to hold on. The wings on her back spread wide as she pushed her Soul Power to the limit, barely managing to stabilize herself in the gale.

Looking at that invincible beast, a deep sense of helplessness rose within her.

"Huo Yuhao!"

Wang Dong shouted anxiously, her voice carrying a hint of tears.

"Now there's only one way to win!"

"Let's hurry and try our Martial Soul Fusion Skill! That feeling... I really felt it! We can definitely do it!"

However.

Huo Yuhao, standing at the very front, seemed not to hear her cries at all.

He stood unmoved in the raging wind, his arms folded over his chest, the hem of his clothes snapping loudly.

His scarlet Sharingan studied the enormous creature before him with keen interest.

There was no fear, no regret.

Only an indifference that saw through everything.

"Oh? So this is the Hell White Tiger?"

The corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth curled slightly as he coldly watched the beast.

"Interesting. Two pieces of trash fused together actually reached the level of a Soul Ancestor."

The Hell White Tiger's purple double pupils stared fixedly at Huo Yuhao. The energy waves it released swept over him again, yet seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.

Huo Yuhao's gaze fell upon the White Tiger's black demonic patterns.

White Tiger, the Dai Clan.

Hell Spirit Cat, the Zhu Clan.

Those were the clans of the Duchess who had caused his mother's death.

Old hatred and new grudges doubled at that moment.

Huo Yuhao's feelings right then were like those of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, who despised the Uchiha Clan to his bones, upon seeing a group of Uchiha with awakened Sharingan gathered together.

"White Tiger and Spirit Cat martial souls, you innately evil little brats!"

Huo Yuhao slowly released his folded arms. Chakra surged around his fingertips, and murderous intent filled the air.

"I'll deal with you personally!"

He was not seeking cooperation as Wang Dong had imagined.

Huo Yuhao raised both hands, crossing his index and middle fingers into that familiar cross-shaped seal.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!

Four clouds of white smoke burst apart.

Four identical solid clones of Huo Yuhao appeared around his original body.

Including the original, there were five of them in total.

The five stood side by side. Facing the charging Hell White Tiger, they not only did not retreat, but simultaneously began forming hand seals at high speed.

Each clone used entirely different hand signs, and the Chakra attributes they drew upon were also different.

The first clone flickered with firelight.

The second clone was shrouded in watery mist.

The third clone had earth and stones rising around him.

The fourth clone was surrounded by violent currents of air.

In the original's palm, lightning burst forth.

In an instant.

The five Huo Yuhaos completed their preparations at the same time.

With his current Chakra reserves, he could not yet unleash the S-rank Great Barrage Technique of Sarutobi Hiruzen, but...

Combining five B-rank or C-rank ninjutsu was just as terrifying!

"Five Release: Great Barrage Technique!"

Boom—!!!

Fire Style: Great Fireball!

Water Release: Water Severing Wave!

Earth Release: Earth Flow River!

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!

Lightning Style: False Darkness!

Five completely different elemental attacks erupted at once, converging into a dazzling torrent of Destruction that blasted head-on toward the arrogant Hell White Tiger!
