Divine Butterfly Spirit Eyes Break White Tiger

Dai Huabin, on the other hand, cast a disdainful glance at him. Despite being a mere one-ringed deadweight, his attitude was far too arrogant. He didn't even want to waste his Martial Soul Fusion Skill on this match, as he still had to face the teams of Su Qing or Ning Tian later.

"Yuhao, don't lose focus. Concentrate on defeating him first; we can trample him under our feet once we've won."

Wang Dong whispered his encouragement. He remained confident; Dai Huabin would surely save his Martial Soul Fusion Skill for the final arena. As long as they unleashed their own fusion skill first and used Xiao Xiao's soul skills to cut off the enemy's retreat, it wouldn't take long to take all three of them down in one fell swoop.

"Right."

Hearing Wang Dong's reassurance, Huo Yuhao nodded heavily. Knowing he would face Dai Huabin today, he had specifically stuffed his pockets with hidden weapons, especially Dragon Whisker Needles capable of piercing protective energy shields. After all, in the previous matches, the soul skill Dai Huabin used most frequently was the White Tiger Protection Barrier, while the White Tiger Vajra Transformation was only used to amplify himself right before delivering a finishing blow.

"White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"

"Butterfly Goddess's Light!"

Once the referee led both sides to their respective positions and ordered the match to begin, Dai Huabin and Wang Dong, having instantly activated their Martial Soul Possession, were the first to trade long-range soul skills.

The moment the golden sphere of light collided with the white wave, a sky-high explosion erupted in the center of the arena. The shockwave swept up dust and smoke, instantly casting a hazy veil over the entire stage. Among the three who had been gathered on Dai Huabin's side, the figure of Zhu Lu had already vanished.

As an agility-type soul master, she had drifted to the edge of the battlefield the moment the explosion occurred. Following the battle plan set last night, she headed straight for Huo Yuhao at the very back. In a three-on-three team battle, the side that loses a member first naturally falls into a disadvantage, so her goal was clear. Even though her current position would have allowed her to ambush Wang Dong from behind, she didn't strike.

However, aside from his own teammates, only Wang Yan knew of Huo Yuhao's soul skills. Thus, Zhu Lu's sneak attack was destined to fail. Just as she was about to flash in front of Huo Yuhao and her first soul skill, Hell Stab, was about to make contact, two massive cauldrons flanked her from the left and right.

"How is their reaction so fast?"

Back at the moment of the explosion, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing had already locked onto Zhu Lu's position. Xiao Xiao had anticipated her move, shifting the two Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons around Huo Yuhao in advance, just waiting for Zhu Lu to walk into the trap.

To avoid a one-for-one trade, Zhu Lu had no choice but to abandon the attack and continue drifting outside the arena. But how could Xiao Xiao let her have her way? In the blink of an eye, all three cauldrons flew toward her from different directions.

Seeing this, Zhu Lu sneered; this speed couldn't touch her! Unexpectedly, the next moment, she felt a sharp, piercing headache. It was in that split second of distraction that Xiao Xiao's three cauldrons reached her.

"I can't dodge it... How could this happen? Where did that mental attack just come from!"

Watching the heavy cauldrons loom closer, Zhu Lu instinctively closed her eyes.

"Second soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

As Dai Huabin's voice fell, Zhu Lu felt the light in front of her dim, followed by a dull thud of impact. When she opened her eyes, she was shocked to find that Dai Huabin had appeared in front of her. Seeing her poor state, Dai Huabin was puzzled but didn't blame her too much.

"Be careful next time. In a real battle, I won't be able to spare the focus to look after you."

He immediately shifted his gaze toward Huo Yuhao. Zhu Lu had clearly hesitated for a moment before clutching her head; it was obvious she had suffered a mental-level attack, and it most likely came from Huo Yuhao, whom he had underestimated.

"No wonder you were able to make it this far."

A fierce glint flashed in Dai Huabin's eyes. He hadn't expected to be blindsided by Huo Yuhao at such a critical juncture. But before he could dwell on it, the intense pain radiating from his arms made the veins on his forehead bulge.

The moment he detected Dai Huabin's movement, Huo Yuhao had pulled out the Dragon Whisker Needles. Almost as soon as Dai Huabin blocked the cauldrons, the needles were launched with a hidden weapon technique. Seeing the twisted expression on his opponent's face, a sense of satisfaction welled up in Huo Yuhao.

Of course, while they were clashing, Wang Dong hadn't been idle. From the moment Dai Huabin left Cui Yajie's side, he had launched an assault on her. With Butterfly Goddess's Light paired with Wing Blade, he paid the price of one-third of his soul power to directly eliminate Cui Yajie.

Poor Cui Yajie couldn't figure out, even as she left the stage, why Wang Dong was immune to her charm-type soul skill.

Just as Dai Huabin was distracted by the excruciating pain, Huo Yuhao threw several more Dragon Whisker Needles. This time, Dai Huabin reacted in time, but his White Tiger Protection Barrier was easily pierced by the needles. Struck by nearly ten of them, Dai Huabin could no longer tell where the pain was coming from.

He was furious now. Winning the final was no longer a consideration; he wanted to kill this despicable coward who used hidden weapons to ambush him right here and now.

"Zhu Lu!"

Hearing the tone in Dai Huabin's voice, Zhu Lu immediately understood his intent. She threw herself into his arms, and the two began circulating their soul power. Black and white energy swirled around them, quickly forming a sphere that enveloped them both. Their soul power poured out like a black-and-white ocean, and after a brief surge, a massive white tiger with black stripes and dual purple pupils leaped out, leaving the entire audience blood-boiling with excitement!

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger!"

"Wang Dong, let's do it too!"

As Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu embraced, Huo Yuhao quickly called out to Wang Dong. Wang Dong flapped his butterfly wings and lunged toward Huo Yuhao. The two intertwined their soul power just as Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu had. A blue, purple, and gold sphere of light enveloped them, and above them, the phantoms of the Radiant Goddess Butterfly and a massive blue-gold eye overlapped. Almost the moment the Hell White Tiger appeared, they fused and descended, a beam of golden light erupting from the giant eye, leaving a path of brilliant gold in its wake.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Decay within the Radiance--Golden Road!"

In that instant, the atmosphere of the entire arena exploded! A collision between Martial Soul Fusion Skills—this was absolutely unprecedented! This year's freshman assessment was truly full of hidden talents! Wang Yan's eyes were practically popping out of his head, and Xuan Zi, who had been invited to watch, was also observing the scene on the stage with great interest.

Du Weilun looked tense; he was genuinely afraid of casualties during the freshman assessment. But when he turned his head and saw Xuan Zi there, he immediately relaxed. If Xuan Zi wasn't worried, then there shouldn't be any problem. With that thought, he simply began to enjoy the match.

Witnessing the collision of Martial Soul Fusion Skills with their own eyes and seeing the brilliant radiance of the soul skills on the stage, the entire crowd almost forgot to breathe.

"Hmph, mere parlor tricks!"

The Hell White Tiger let out a roar and charged straight at Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao. What they were wielding was the Hell White Tiger, famous across the continent for ten thousand years; how could it possibly lose to a fusion skill of a butterfly and an eye? Thinking this, his desire to crush them head-on intensified.

The Hell White Tiger charged straight toward the Golden Road, but the moment they made contact, the two's Martial Soul Fusion Skill instantly disintegrated. The two who fell to the ground and were touched by the golden light were instantly turned into golden statues.

"How is this possible?"
