The referee's voice was like a cold iron hammer, shattering the brief dead silence within the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.
What followed was an uproar like mountains roaring and seas crashing.
"It's... over?"
"Shrek Academy... lost just like that?"
"What was that just now? A Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill? Since when was Canghui Academy this strong?!"
"Who's that red-haired girl? She's way too strong! She nearly tore through Shrek's entire team by herself!"
In the VIP seats, Xue Ye was somewhat surprised by the result.
Beside him, Ning Fengzhi's eyes glimmered thoughtfully as his gaze lingered over the wrecked crystal arena and the members of Canghui Academy, especially Melida.
On the arena, the Shrek students looked as though their spines had been ripped out.
Tang San struggled to prop himself up halfway, the blood at the corner of his mouth glaringly red.
He looked at Melida, who stood proudly ahead, and the Canghui Academy members who had already begun celebrating. His fingers dug deeply into the cold crystal floor, his nails split and blood seeping out, yet he felt no pain at all—only a cold sense of helplessness.
With Zhu Zhuqing supporting him, Dai Mubai barely managed to stand steadily. His evil eyes were fixed on Melida's back, the fury in them nearly bursting forth in tangible form. Yet the emptiness of his Soul Power and the agony wracking his body left him unable to utter even a single threat.
Ma Hongjun lay sprawled on the ground, groaning. Huang Yuan and Tai Long were unconscious, while Jiang Zhu, pale-faced, was helped off the arena by the healing Soul Masters who had rushed over.
Of the seven, aside from Jiang Zhu, whose injuries were relatively light, the other six were all severely wounded.
The battle had been suffocatingly swift
