The Final Battle Begins! (Please Bookmark)

At the referee's command, Dai Huabin's team immediately sprinted forward, their target clear: Huo Yuhao. The three figures advanced in an arrow formation, with Dai Huabin at the forefront. After possessing the White Tiger martial soul, his body had swelled noticeably.

Though they did not know what use this one-ring soul master had, taking him down first was undoubtedly the best choice.

Dai Huabin's tiger eyes locked tightly onto Huo Yuhao, the killing intent in them utterly undisguised.

Qian Duoduo was not worried when he saw this from the stands. Over the past few days, Huo Yuhao's team's performance had been plain for all to see. Wang Dong's offensive power was among the best at his level, Xiao Xiao's battlefield control was more than solid, and then there was Huo Yuhao's elusive spiritual support.

Xian Lin'er had not told Qian Duoduo about Huo Yuhao's soul skill, but she was completely certain.

"That is an exceptionally powerful support soul skill."

Qian Duoduo could hardly imagine what kind of support soul skill could earn such an evaluation from even Xian Lin'er.

"Hm?!"

Yet the next instant, Qian Duoduo's eyes flew open.

What had Qian Duoduo seen? Even he could scarcely believe it. Just before the charge reached them, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong had simultaneously retreated to either side, leaving a huge opening before Huo Yuhao.

One went left and the other right, respectively meeting Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie. They had completely yielded the frontal battlefield, placing not the slightest obstacle in Dai Huabin's path.

"What are they doing?!"

At this moment, Zhou Yi was equally stunned. How was this any different from directly handing Huo Yuhao over?!

"Hm?! If that's the case, then get off the field first."

In the arena, Dai Huabin saw the wide-open path ahead, and the ferocity in his eyes surged. A vicious grin tugged at his lips. He had no time to consider whether the other side had made a tactical mistake. With an opportunity right before him, how could he let it pass?

He explosively pushed off the ground, raising his tiger claws shrouded in a layer of dusky white soul power as he lunged straight for Huo Yuhao's face.

"Who's leaving the field is still uncertain!"

Golden light flowed over Huo Yuhao's right hand as he threw a punch at Dai Huabin's White Tiger Claw. When fist and claw collided, a visible ring of air exploded across the stone platform. Dai Huabin only felt an immense force surge from Huo Yuhao's fist. The power behind it was actually greater than his own as a beast-soul Soul Elder?!

Dai Huabin staggered back three or four steps before steadying himself. He lowered his head to look at his faintly trembling tiger claw, his pupils sharply contracting. He was a three-ring beast-soul Soul Elder, and his White Tiger martial soul specialized in offense and strength, yet a one-ring soul master had sent him flying with a single punch? The opponent's first ring was even a ten-year soul ring! Who would believe such a thing if it were told?

In the audience, no one could believe that Dai Huabin, with his three-ring White Tiger martial soul, had been driven back by an unknown one-ring soul master. But it had happened.

"How is that possible? A soul bone? No, impossible."

Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe's gaze fixed tightly on Huo Yuhao's right hand, which had returned to normal. He immediately thought of a soul bone, only to reject the possibility.

The soul bone he had given him was a speed-type right leg bone. It could not grant such a soul skill, and besides, was a ten-thousand-year soul bone so easy to absorb?

"This fellow..."

Qian Duoduo stared at Huo Yuhao in surprise. He had not expected him to have such a trick hidden away. Qian Duoduo unconsciously straightened in his seat, his gaze turning serious.

On the platform, Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin began fighting freely.

Dai Huabin's combat skills were no sham either; they had been built through diligent training. Huo Yuhao's combat strength had been forged through life-and-death battles. When the two were compared, neither could gain the upper hand.

"It looks like what little Yuhao researched is pretty useful."

This ability to partially turn himself into gold particles had been developed by Huo Yuhao himself. It had relatively lasting endurance, but its enhancement was much weaker.

For example, in a fully gold-particle state, he could take down Dai Huabin with a single punch. There would be no need to drag things out like this.

"You're courting death!"

Having been forced into such a fight with a one-ring soul master, Dai Huabin already felt utterly humiliated. He activated his third soul skill.

White Tiger Vajra Transformation!

Dai Huabin's body swelled further. His pupils turned blood-red, black stripes appearing across his skin as he became even more tiger-like.

I've been waiting for this.

The White Tiger Vajra Transformation was indeed powerful, but it left its user's consciousness blurred for a brief period during the transformation. That was the opportunity Huo Yuhao had been waiting for. His eyes narrowed, and a sharp gleam erupted from them, shooting directly into Dai Huabin's brow.

"Hm?!"

Dai Huabin's body suddenly shuddered, and he froze for an instant.

One punch will be enough...

Gathering his strength, Huo Yuhao abruptly drew in the golden light that had been flowing from his right hand. The scattered particles of light compressed into a solid layer of golden film, turning his entire arm a pure gold. He kicked off the ground, his body shooting forward like an arrow loosed from a bow.

He threw a punch!

Carrying all of Huo Yuhao's compressed strength, it smashed brutally into Dai Huabin's abdomen. The White Tiger Protective Barrier burst apart under the blow. Transparent cracks spread outward from the point of contact before shattering with a roar.

The next moment, as Dai Huabin regained his senses, a sharp agony tore through his abdomen, as though a heavy hammer had struck his internal organs. His insides churned violently. He let out a muffled groan and was sent flying backward off the ground.

"Dai Huabin!"

A trace of panic flashed through Zhu Lu's eyes. She immediately drove all her soul power into motion, accelerating beneath her feet as her body turned into a black shadow, escaping Wang Dong's attack range.

After all, Wang Dong was not an agility-attack soul master. He simply could not catch Zhu Lu when she was going all out without regard for her soul power consumption. He could only settle for the next best thing and land beside Huo Yuhao.

"How is he?"

Wang Dong asked. After that punch, Dai Huabin should have lost his fighting ability, right?

"No. His third soul skill is too tough."

Huo Yuhao spoke regretfully. Dai Huabin had lowered most of his defenses just now, but the defensive power of his first and third soul skills was inherently formidable. That punch should have left him with some ability to resist.

"Looks like that White Tiger brat is going to lose."

Qian Duoduo watched Dai Huabin fly away. Though that punch had not directly robbed him of his ability to fight, he was no longer much of a threat.

"Really?"

Yan Shaozhe glanced lightly at Qian Duoduo, a smile on his lips.

"Old Qian, you've spent too long playing with metal. You've forgotten some of the inheritances of the soul master world. Have you forgotten the relationship between the White Tiger Duke's Estate and the Zhu Clan?"

"Hm?!"

Qian Duoduo realized something as well, and at the same time, he sensed the shift in soul power on the battlefield.

Netherworld White Tiger!

On the field, after sensing that he had been severely injured, Dai Huabin immediately performed a martial soul fusion with the arriving Zhu Lu. Huo Yuhao and the others only realized something was wrong after the aura erupted.

"A martial soul fusion?!"

Wang Dong immediately sensed the danger and looked toward Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao nodded, then immediately shouted to Xiao Xiao.

"Xiao Xiao, three breaths!"

"I'll do my best!"

Xiao Xiao brought her hands together. Her original three cauldrons merged into one enormous black cauldron, unleashing its suppressive force as it descended toward Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin.

"Roar!"

The enormous Netherworld White Tiger solidified within the white light. Raising its massive claw, it pounced forward with a force that seemed capable of crushing everything. The instant its claw descended, the black cauldron's suppressive force met it head-on. The two forces violently collided above the stone platform, and a ring-shaped blast of air exploded in every direction.

This is?!

The Netherworld White Tiger was astonishing, but another scene on the field drew even more attention.

Wang Dong stood behind Huo Yuhao, one hand resting on Huo Yuhao's shoulder. Their two powers fused, all of it under Huo Yuhao's control.

Gold Particle Mode, full activation!

Golden light surrounded Huo Yuhao, and an incomparable aura burst forth from his body.

"Could this also be a martial soul fusion?"

Even Yan Shaozhe revealed a look of surprise. Two martial soul fusions, something ordinary people might never see in their entire lives, had appeared in a single match?!

With Xiao Xiao resisting with all her strength, the Netherworld White Tiger was held back for one breath.

Too strong!

But the next instant, the referee whisked her away.

As she left the competition field, Xiao Xiao saw Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao.

Could those two also have a fusion skill?

Before this, Huo Yuhao had also given this move a name.

Huo Yuhao raised his hand and pointed at the charging White Tiger.

"Wither—"

With a gentle point, golden light erupted!

Boom—
