Just then.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's attacks reached Huo Yuhao.
Under countless stunned gazes, Huo Yuhao did not dodge, even though he faced two opponents alone. He did not even open his eyes. A thin white barrier simply lit up around him.
At the same time, Dai Mubai's White Tiger Vajra Transformation and Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Slash came crashing down.
Boom!!!
In an instant, the two Soul Skills exploded at once.
The sight everyone expected—Huo Yuhao being sent flying—never came.
Instead, two muffled grunts rang out. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing struck the barrier as though they had slammed into a mountain. They were blasted away like cannonballs and only steadied themselves when Xiao Wu, covering them from above, caught them.
"Holy shit! That's impossible!" Cries of disbelief rose from the teams watching the match.
Of the teams that had made it to the finals, which one had not learned how formidable Dai Mubai, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, and Zhu Zhuqing, the Hell Spirit Cat, were?
Two against one.
Yet he had countered two Soul Ancestors' thousand-year third Soul Skills with nothing but a layer of protective Soul Power.
A complete victory?
That was impossible to accept!
It was not just the students. Even the teachers from the various academies could not help staring wide-eyed.
He really was the Spirit Hall Academy Team's trump card.
"What incredible power!"
In the air, Dai Mubai stared at Huo Yuhao on the stage in shock. His entire right arm trembled involuntarily. The web between his thumb and forefinger had split open, and blood ran from his palm down to his fingers.
Zhu Zhuqing was in much the same state.
The exchange was over in a flash. Xie Yue and Yan rushed out of the Red Mist and returned to Huo Yuhao's side. They had not expected the Shrek Seven Devils to plan on taking Huo Yuhao out first.
Was that not an egg trying to smash a rock?
They were asking to die!
"Yuhao, what do we do? We've got strength but nowhere to use it." Bewitching, controlled by Hu Liena, turned to glance at Huo Yuhao. "They can all fly. Are we just going to keep this up?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly, "They can't maintain that state for long. Attack!"
As soon as he spoke.
Bewitching turned into a streak of blood-red light and charged again. This time, his target was Ma Hongjun, who had landed.
"Boss! Zhu Zhuqing!"
Tang San's eyes narrowed, and he barked, "Now!"
Roar!
A tiger's roar shook the arena. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing completed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill in an instant, transforming into an enormous white tiger. Its body was translucent, with black stripes across white fur and twin pupils in its purple eyes. Eight meters long and two meters tall, it was a tremendously powerful Super Giant Tiger.
It met Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Bewitching head-on.
A fierce battle was about to erupt.
At the same time, Yan, Zhang Ping, and Sun Chuantao made their move. They showed Xiao Wu no mercy as she darted through the air. After all, they knew she could not use Invincible Golden Body endlessly.
In an instant, the Shrek Seven Devils were forced onto the defensive.
They could barely fend off the attacks.
The Spirit Hall Academy Team was one member short, but its fighters were all Power Attack System Soul Masters. Ning Rongrong and Oscar, on the other hand, had no offensive power at all. Their imagined chance to take Huo Yuhao out first had slipped away, leaving them entirely on the defensive.
This could not go on.
They had underestimated that fellow after all.
Tang San's gaze sharpened as he stared coldly at Huo Yuhao on the stage. Oscar's Flying Mushroom Sausage had less than half a minute left, and Ma Hongjun was injured. We can't drag this out any longer.
"Tang San! It's time we settled our score!" Just then, Wang Qiu'er looked up at Tang San, and her Second Soul Ring flared. "Second Soul Skill—Power of the Dragon!"
A stream of golden light surged into the Golden Dragon Spear.
Without another word, Wang Qiu'er hurled the Golden Dragon Spear with all her strength, straight at Tang San's face.
If Wang Qiu'er had crushed Ma Hongjun just to vent her anger, she genuinely intended to kill Tang San.
It was all because of this man.
He had controlled the course of her life and Huo Yuhao's. She held nothing back.
"Oh no!"
Tang San snapped back to attention. He had not expected Wang Qiu'er to attack him out of nowhere. What score was she talking about? He did not even know her.
It was too late to dodge.
All he could do was summon his Eight Spider Lances and try to block Wang Qiu'er's Golden Dragon Spear.
"Brother!"
Xiao Wu cried out as she realized Tang San's predicament. She broke away from Yan and teleported in front of Tang San, activating Invincible Golden Body at once.
Boom!!!
A dull sonic boom sounded, and Xiao Wu grunted as she was knocked into Tang San's arms.
Only then did everyone notice, to their shock, that fine cracks had appeared across the chest of Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body. Had Invincible Golden Body failed?
Indeed it had.
Invincible Golden Body was not truly invincible. Even if it could nullify all physical attacks, that only applied to physical attacks from the Douluo Continent plane. The Golden Dragon Spear in Wang Qiu'er's hand was a Divine Artifact.
Trying to take a Divine Artifact head-on with Invincible Golden Body had been brave enough.
"Xiao Wu!"
Tang San cried out, his eyes instantly bloodshot.
"We're in trouble."
Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly and slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Wang Qiu'er with indulgent affection. "Of all the people you could've hurt, you hurt Xiao Wu. Didn't we agree that only the fat guy was yours?"
Wang Qiu'er gave a haughty little snort. "Don't blame me. When I saw Tang San, I couldn't help myself."
"All right, come back."
Huo Yuhao smiled indulgently. He knew Tang San well. Now that Xiao Wu was hurt, Tang San would decide they all had a path to death.
Wang Qiu'er: "..."
Everyone: "..."
"You're courting death!!!"
In the air, Tang San held Xiao Wu, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. He gave a cold laugh. "You finally decided to speak. But you should never have hurt Xiao Wu. It's too late to say anything now."
"Because you have no chance left!"
Tang San glanced at the badly wounded Ma Hongjun as he rose into the air, then at the Hell White Tiger returning overhead. A cold smile touched his lips. "Shrek Seven Devils!"
At Tang San's low command.
The Shrek Seven Devils suddenly shifted into a vertical straight line in the air. Tang San stood at the front, followed immediately by Dai Mubai, whose fusion had dissolved. Behind him came Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing, with Ning Rongrong and Oscar at the rear.
As the seven changed formation, the Soul Power they had just released and gathered twisted into a single force. At that moment, each of them passed their Soul Power to the person ahead.
In the end, it all converged inside Tang San.
"The Seven-in-One Fusion Skill!"
From the sidelines, Feng Xiaotian of the Five Elements Academy could not help crying out. Almost every student watching rose to their feet. "It's that move again!"
Their eyes locked onto the Shrek Seven Devils in the air.
That was the move.
It had nearly hammered Feng Xiaotian to death.
Even Bibi Dong, seated on the raised platform, frowned and glanced toward Yu Xiaogang in the spectator stands. Xiaogang, you've gone to such lengths to deal with me. Do things between us really have to come to this?
"Everyone, fall back."
Huo Yuhao finally spoke. "You can't withstand this strike."
With that.
Huo Yuhao began walking toward the center of the arena, step by step.
Wang Qiu'er and the others sensed the violent Soul Power gathering in the air and sensibly retreated behind Huo Yuhao.
"You're courting death!!!"
Seeing Huo Yuhao enter the arena alone, Tang San unleashed a surging torrent of dark light from his left palm. "Its name is... Clear Sky!"
