Chapter 152: Complete Domination! Too Outstanding, Yet Also a Headache!
The streets of the underworld, the sect's interior, and even the rest area of Shrek Academy were now filled with an eerie commotion.
This shock wasn't directed at any particular soul skill, but rather at the combat efficiency that Bai Huoyuhao displayed, which was completely on a different level.
"One against seven... He really did it. And those were the regular team from Zheng Tian Academy, three Soul Kings!" A Soul Master from the Underworld stared intently at the sky, his voice hoarse with shock.
"On our side, this battle was so fierce that we lost half our lives, but in the White World, Huo Yuhao didn't even break a sweat."
"That combination of black flame and soul ice completely ignored soul power level. This shows that the soul master education in the White World has touched the essence of the laws. While we are still studying how to accumulate soul power, they have already begun to modify the physical rules of the battlefield."
Hei Xuanzi's face was extremely grim at this moment.
He sat in the chair, his withered fingers gripping the wooden armrests tightly, his knuckles turning deathly white from the excessive force.
He originally thought that fighting seven people at once was suicidal, but he never expected that Bai Huoyuhao would be so powerful.
"How could such strength... possibly exist in a twelve-year-old child?" Hei Xuanzi growled through gritted teeth. He felt that his decades of experience as a leader had been crushed into dust in front of Bai Xu Si.
[The aerial footage continues to play.]
[After Huo Yuhao's victory representing Shrek Academy, the subsequent elimination rounds continued in full swing.]
Although the battles from other academies were also exciting, after witnessing the eye technique that instantly killed three Soul Kings, the Soul Masters in the audience were clearly no longer focused on these routine sparring matches.
The stands were filled with discussions about Huo Yuhao and Shrek Academy. Whether they were commoner soul masters or representatives from various countries, everyone was analyzing the logic behind the black flames.
[Because the knockout stage has more than one round, the schedule is progressing very quickly, and Shrek Academy soon had another chance to play.]
This time, facing Shrek Academy is the Cloud Sky Academy, known for its all-out offensive style.
This team consists of seven members, all of whom are five-ring Soul Kings. Judging from their overall accumulated Soul Power and explosive power, their strength is significantly greater than that of the Zheng Tian Academy team that Huo Yuhao encountered before.
However, the Shrek team still enforced the additional rule that outsiders considered extremely "arrogant": only one student would be sent into the arena.
This time, it was Wang Dong'er who stepped out of the waiting area.
She wore Shrek's pale green Order robes, and her figure was elegant and graceful.
Upon entering the Realm of Order, she faced a dense offensive from seven Soul Kings of Yuntian Academy. These seven had clearly reviewed Huo Yuhao's battle, immediately sealing off the space and attempting to break through with an absolute saturation of soul power.
"Yuntian Academy, suppress him with all your might! Don't give him any chance to use his eye techniques!" Captain Yuntian roared, and all seven of his ten-thousand-year soul rings shone brightly at the same time.
Facing the overwhelming tide of energy, Wang Dong'er remained completely calm. Standing in the center of the arena, the magnificent wings of the Goddess of Light butterfly behind her suddenly unfurled, the radiance of order flowing wildly within their feathers.
"Under the framework of order, light and shadow share the same origin." Wang Dong'er's voice was clear and cold.
The next second, her right hand clenched in the air, and a jet-black Clear Sky Hammer, crackling with dark lightning patterns, materialized out of thin air. Unlike ordinary Soul Masters who alternate between their twin Martial Souls, Wang Dong'er forcibly resonated with the origins of two top-tier Martial Souls at this moment.
"Self-Soul Fusion Skill - Hammer of Light and Darkness!"
The dazzling golden light of the Goddess of Light Butterfly and the immense weight of the Clear Sky Hammer merged perfectly at this moment. Wang Dong'er soared into the sky, not resorting to any complicated evasion, but instead swinging the massive hammer directly down towards the seven Soul Kings below.
[boom--!]
That was a combined strike of absolute power and ultimate attributes. The enormous hammer of light and shadow crashed onto the mirrored ground, not only shattering all the soul power attacks but also generating an extremely strong force of order that instantly pulled the seven members of Cloud Sky Academy to the center of the crater.
[Then, the butterfly wings on Wang Dong'er's back transformed into countless fine golden blades of light, which, combined with the aftershocks of the Clear Sky Hammer, instantly cut and disintegrated the defensive shields of the seven Soul Kings.]
[With just one burst of the self-fusion technique, all seven Soul Kings of Yuntian Academy reached the limit of their simulated bodies' collapse.]
[Light and shadow flashed continuously, and the seven people were instantly ejected from the realm of order. Wang Dong'er withdrew her martial spirit, landing lightly from the air, her expression unchanged.]
A thunderous roar of applause erupted from the audience.
The Soul Masters of the Underworld, upon seeing this, went from shock to deep emotion.
"As expected of the White Shrek Academy. It seems that the gap between their strength and that of ordinary Soul Masters is far greater than we imagined." A teacher from the underworld looked at the students behind him, his tone full of helplessness.
"A twelve-year-old girl wiped out seven Soul Kings with her own Martial Soul Fusion Technique. Is there any point in continuing this competition?"
The match continued.
After the knockout stage, the tournament entered the round-robin stage.
[But no matter what tactics they face, no matter how their opponents change their formation, the White Shrek team always insists on sending only one member onto the field.]
In every match, Shrek won with ease.
The Soul Masters of the Underworld watched these scenes through the celestial canopy, their words filled with helpless envy.
"These members of White Shrek Academy are having such a smooth run! Every match is like a vacation for them, they win so easily. On the other hand, our Shrek Academy members, thinking back to our battles, those were incredibly brutal!"
"That's right. In order to withstand the pressure, Ma Xiaotao even caused her evil fire to go out of control and turn her into an evil soul master. Such a price simply does not exist in the White World."
"All of this is thanks to Bai Hei Xuanzi. If he hadn't failed in his duty, would the regular team have been killed or maimed, forcing the reserve team to fight to the death?"
Hearing these comments, Hei Xuanzi finally lost his temper and stood up, slamming his wine gourd to the ground: "Damn it! Is this going to end like this? You keep repeating the same few sentences. Do you think I, the leader of the team, don't want to win?"
However, the other Soul Masters in the underworld were not buying his act at all.
"But it's not interesting to keep watching like this. Bai Huoyuhao and the others are just 'smurfing' in the Advanced Soul Master Tournament. Their opponents are too weak, and they can't be forced to use their true abilities."
[In the sky.]
Bai Xuanzi seemed to sense the severe disparity in skill level as well. He was currently sitting in his reserved spectator seat, letting out a helpless sigh.
He turned to look at Xue Di and Bing Di, who were sitting to one side, his tone revealing a natural sense of unease: "Sometimes, teaching students to be too outstanding can also be a headache."
"I originally wanted to use this continent-wide tournament to give them some real combat pressure and a tough test, but none of these opponents are any real fighters. It's hard to even give them a real challenge; it's really a headache."
