Even under the Nine-Tailed Fox's charm and the Hell White Tiger's attacks, I, Ye Chen, remain invincible in this world
At that moment, Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin radiated faint black and white light respectively.
Zhu Lu spread her arms and threw herself toward Dai Huabin.
They gazed into each other's eyes. The difference was that the chill in Dai Huabin's eyes never changed, while Zhu Lu's gaze gradually softened.
The auras of the White Tiger and the Hell Spirit Cat merged completely at that moment.
Intense Soul Power fluctuations erupted from their bodies as the black and white light gradually fused into one.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu vanished the instant they fused. All that remained in the assessment area was an enormous Hell White Tiger.
The Soul Power fluctuations it unleashed left both Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao shaken.
"Unleash your Martial Soul Fusion Skill! Fight me to your heart's content and settle this!" the Hell White Tiger said.
"I won't need it to deal with you. Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong, fall back." With that, Ye Chen walked forward alone.
"You're courting death!"
At the sight, the Hell White Tiger hesitated no longer and lunged fiercely at Ye Chen.
Almost everyone in the stands grew tense.
Even the invigilators prepared to intervene. In their eyes, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill unleashed by a three-ring Soul Elder and a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster was not something Ye Chen could withstand!
"Is that... a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
"So this is Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's trump card?"
"Wait, has Ye Chen gone mad? Why is he taking on a Martial Soul Fusion Skill alone?"
It wasn't just the spectators who broke into a cold sweat for Ye Chen. Even the people watching through the Sky Screen couldn't imagine how he could win.
[Yu Xiaogang: Ye Chen wants to take on the Hell White Tiger alone? What a wild fantasy.]
[Dai Mubai: No one at the same level can stand against the Hell White Tiger.]
[Tang San: Just watch. He's not far from death.]
In the Spirit Hall Era, almost no one at Shrek Academy thought Ye Chen stood a chance.
The reason was simple. During the previous Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Hell White Tiger had defeated Yan, who also possessed dual attributes.
Things were different in the Dragon King Era.
[Gu Yue: The Hell White Tiger is powerful, but it's not unbeatable.]
[Xu Xiaoyan: Exactly! Until heaven and earth are settled, any of us could be the dark horse!]
Over the past few months, under Wu Zhangkong's guidance, Tang Wulin and the others had made it into Shrek Academy after all.
And during the contest for the first-year class monitor position, they had defeated Wu Siduo's self-generated Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Although their victory hadn't been entirely fair, Gu Yue was confident that she could also defeat Wu Siduo one-on-one.
[Dai Mubai: What? Have you fought the Hell White Tiger before?]
Dai Mubai clearly didn't believe her. In his mind, the Hell White Tiger was the strongest Martial Soul Fusion Skill, virtually undefeated against anyone at the same level!
[Gu Yue: I have. It was nothing special.]
[Wu Siduo: ...]
[Dai Mubai: ?]
"Could she have defeated Dai Weisi and his partner's Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Dai Mubai muttered.
"What useless trash. They actually lost with the Hell White Tiger!"
Meanwhile, within the Sky Screen, Ye Chen slowly approached the Hell White Tiger. The spectral Three-Eyed Golden Lion Martial Soul behind him suddenly pounced on it.
At the same time, Ye Chen's first Soul Ring, second Soul Ring, and third Soul Ring lit up together.
"Don't even think about unleashing your Soul Skills!"
Cui Yajie fixed her gaze on Ye Chen, the corners of her lips curling into a soft, alluring smile.
Beneath her feet, her yellow, hundred-year first Soul Ring quietly began to glow. Its light was so faint that the pink Soul Power surrounding her almost concealed it completely; without looking closely, no one would notice.
Pink light rippled from the depths of her eyes, turning into invisible mental ripples that swept straight toward Ye Chen.
Enhanced by the Nine-Tailed Fox's innate talent, this charm worked on men and women alike. It could directly disturb its target's mind, leaving them dazed and disoriented, stripped of the will to fight.
An ordinary Soul Master at the same level would succumb the instant their eyes met hers. Even higher-level Soul Masters would be affected.
"Class monitor!"
"Ye Chen!"
Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong cried out in concern at the same time.
Yet, to their astonishment, Ye Chen gave a wicked smile despite being subjected to the charm and spoke.
"Hmph! Even under the Nine-Tailed Fox's charm, even while resisting the Hell White Tiger's attacks, I, Ye Chen, remain invincible in this world!"
"Such shameless boasting. Do you still not understand the situation you're in?" Dai Huabin sneered.
"Really? You're the ones who don't understand your situation!" Ye Chen's words rang out.
His Soul Skills hadn't been affected by Cui Yajie's charm in the slightest.
All three Soul Rings lit up at once.
"Blazing Sun Saint-Burning Domain!"
As Ye Chen's words fell, a brilliant, crystalline golden-white curtain of light instantly enveloped the entire arena. Pure white, ultimate heavenly light descended like countless waterfalls, while inextinguishable crimson-gold sacred flames churned below.
Light and fire intertwined, forming layer upon layer of flowing, radiant barriers. Intricate lion-shaped patterns of light spread across the ground, every line coursing with the golden light of fate unique to an Auspicious Beast.
This domain possessed not only Ultimate Light and Ultimate Fire, but also the attributes of fate and mind.
Even Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo in the stands couldn't see what was happening inside the domain.
Cui Yajie had been concentrating her mental power on unleashing her charm when a demonic voice suddenly sounded inside her mind.
"Showing off your mental power before the Three-Eyed Golden Lion? I honestly don't know whether to praise your courage or your stupidity."
"What do you mean?"
Cold sweat immediately streamed down Cui Yajie. She couldn't see where Ye Chen was, and she didn't even know why his voice could sound inside her mind.
"Soulquake!"
Invisible mental power exploded inside Cui Yajie's mind.
Cui Yajie's entire body shuddered violently, her pupils contracted, and her steps faltered. She clamped both hands over her temples, feeling as though a heavy hammer were pounding relentlessly inside her head.
The circulation of her Soul Power abruptly stopped. Her mind grew hazy, and she briefly lost control of her body.
"That's one dealt with. Now it's time to deal with that Hell White Tiger."
Ever since Ye Chen had encountered Wang Qiu'er that day, he had gained two innate Soul Skills: Mental Immunity and Soulquake.
Mental Immunity, in particular, allowed him to negate three soul attacks in a single day.
There was no telling what expression Huo Yuhao would wear when this innate Soul Skill eventually met his Soul Shock.
At the center of the domain, the spectral Three-Eyed Golden Lion Martial Soul had already completely suppressed the Hell White Tiger.
"Impossible! How can your strength be so great?"
Dai Huabin was filled with resentment. He had even unleashed his Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so why couldn't he defeat Ye Chen?
"The Three-Eyed Golden Lion carries the Golden Dragon's bloodline. How could a little kitten like you win?"
As Ye Chen mocked him, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned into a streak of light and flew into Ye Chen's body.
At the same time, fierce flames blazed all over Ye Chen's body, but these flames were golden.
"Let's end this."
Ye Chen concentrated all the Soul Power in his body into his right hand.
A dragon's roar rang out, carrying Fate Power.
"Roooaaar!!!"
Under that dragon's roar, the limbs of the Hell White Tiger that Dai Huabin took such pride in actually went weak. It even prostrated itself on the ground, trembling.
Outside the Sky Screen, Dai Mubai was utterly dumbfounded.
[Dai Mubai: Wait, what Martial Soul is this? It can actually make the Hell White Tiger tremble like that?]
