Chapter 155 was simply a massacre; Hei Xuanzi was completely stunned.
The light and shadow above the sky remained absolutely stable amidst the roar of the divine core.
The combined attack of a hundred people that was powerful enough to wipe out mountains was completely annihilated by the Shrek Seven's orderly defense.
The audience in the dark world stared intently at the screen, the visual impact momentarily freezing their thoughts.
The deathly silence in Black Shrek's rest area was broken by a series of rapid breaths.
The Soul Masters of the Underworld stared in shock at the Shrek Seven Devils in the sky, whose clothes were completely undamaged. Their strength far exceeded their understanding of Soul Power levels.
"This...this is impossible. That's the combined attack of hundreds of ten-thousand-year-old soul skills!" A defensive-type battle soul master from the underworld muttered to himself in disbelief, his body trembling slightly from extreme shock.
"On our side, an energy clash of this scale would be enough to reduce half the arena to dust. They actually withstood it head-on with only a four-layer amplification?"
"It's not just his strong defense; look at Huo Yuhao's eyes just now." Another agility-type soul master wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his voice weak.
"He analyzed the points of conflict between all the attacks in an instant. He wasn't just taking the hits head-on; he was using the laws of order to dismantle the combined force of the attacks. Is this kind of computational ability really something a twelve-year-old Soul Master can possess?"
The one who could least accept this scene was Hei Xuanzi.
Hei Xuanzi was completely dumbfounded. He suddenly stood up from his chair, so violently that he overturned the coffee table next to him.
He stared intently at the sky, his eyes bloodshot and filled with disbelief.
"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Hei Xuanzi shouted hysterically, his voice becoming sharp and piercing due to extreme terror.
"I have cultivated for a lifetime and have never seen anyone who could overcome the absolute suppression of total soul power to this extent. Bai Xuanzi... what kind of sorcery did you teach them?"
He was convinced Shrek was doomed, even boasting that he would "twist off his head and kick it like a ball." But the scene before him was like an invisible slap, shattering his pride and common sense.
[The aerial footage continues to play.]
After deflecting the first wave of attacks from the combined forces of the fifteen, the smoke of battle on the Mirror Arena plain was swiftly cleared by the Light of Order. Huo Yuhao stood at the forefront of the formation, his double pupils already locked onto every energy node in the vicinity.
He didn't turn around, but calmly addressed his teammates behind him: "There are too many enemies. Staying together to defend is a waste of time. Let's split up and deal with them."
Huo Yuhao's voice was extremely calm, as if he were dealing with a trivial matter: "There are fifteen teams from various academies. I'll take on the three teams directly in front. For the remaining twelve teams, each of you will be responsible for two. Distribute them."
The Black World was even more shocked than before when it heard this dialogue.
"Has Bai Huoyuhao... become so arrogant?" A teacher leading a group from the underworld exclaimed, his mouth agape.
"One against fifteen is bad enough, but now he actually wants his teammates to each take on two regular teams one-on-one? Does he really think these geniuses from all over the continent are made of clay?"
"This kind of allocation is blatant contempt for the entire Soul Master world. Doesn't he know that the opposing team is full of Soul Kings and Soul Masters?"
However, in the White World, this seemingly arrogant order was absolutely carried out.
"No problem, Yuhao." Wang Dong'er gripped the hammer tightly, a fierce smile playing on her lips. "I didn't get enough of the previous elimination rounds."
"Two academies? It's a bit stressful, but still within my control." Xiao Xiao summoned the cauldron, her expression calm.
The other team members all nodded in agreement without any objection.
[Then, the seven Shrek Seven Devils instantly switched from a defensive formation to an offensive one.]
Huo Yuhao took the lead, his figure leaving a golden afterimage across the plain as he charged directly towards the center of the allied forces. As he advanced, the aura emanating from Huo Yuhao underwent a dramatic transformation.
Not only did he activate the analytical mode of his double pupils, but he also directly drew upon the Ice God Martial Soul's essence within his body. Rings of deep blue, orderly ice radiated wildly outwards from his body.
"Absolute stillness."
[Huo Yuhao let out a soft shout. As a cold light flashed in his double pupils, the members of the three academy teams directly in front of him felt the surrounding space freeze instantly. It wasn't ordinary freezing; it was a suppression of order, forcibly freezing even the flow of soul power.]
In the blink of an eye, three teams and twenty-one Soul Masters were frozen into crystal-clear ice sculptures, frozen in place in the poses of unleashing their Soul Skills.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao's pupils overlapped instantly, and the black and red patterns reappeared.
"Amitaras (Amaterasu)."
Black flames appeared out of nowhere. These flames spread across the surface of the ice sculpture, but instead of melting the ice, they penetrated the ice layer and began to dissolve the spirit master's spirit defenses inside.
Within mere breaths, under the judgment of the level eleven soul tools, the members of these three teams were all forcibly ejected from the simulation state due to the complete collapse of their defenses.
Meanwhile, the other team members also displayed their skills, launching counterattacks from various directions.
[The wings of the Goddess of Light butterfly behind Wang Dong'er transformed into hundred-meter-long blades of order light, which, combined with the immense pressure of the Hammer of Light and Darkness, slammed the two responsible teams directly into the ground.]
Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron continued to grow larger in the air, each impact causing violent spatial tremors that made the attacking Soul Masters cough up blood and instantly incapacitate them.
[Nanmen Yun'er, Wu Feng, and Cui Jieya also displayed their soul skills, which had been personally trained by Shrek Academy, using their absolute speed, dragon fire, and silk threads to repeatedly repel the enemies surrounding them.]
On the mirrored arena, the flashing lights and shadows were so rapid they were almost blinding. These were the symbols indicating that Allied members were being constantly ejected from different dimensions.
The once well-organized hundred-strong allied army quickly collapsed and disintegrated under the efficient, precise, and ferocious diversionary attacks of the Shrek Seven Devils.
[Soon, many members of the allied forces were completely eliminated by Huo Yuhao and his team. The enemy, who had previously filled the plains, was wiped out by more than half within a quarter of an hour.]
Upon witnessing this scene, the Black World was once again plunged into a deathly shock.
The situation that Hei Xuanzi had initially deemed a "dead end" did not lead Shrek into a difficult battle; instead, it became a stage for them to showcase their individual martial prowess.
"This world has gone mad… This world must have gone mad." A Soul Master from the underworld slumped to the ground in despair.
"That was a coalition of fifteen teams, and in such a short time, they were devoured by just seven people?"
"The key point is that none of them were injured. Their teamwork and the seamless integration of their soul skills were entirely based on an ultimate understanding of order. Who could withstand Huo Yuhao's combination of ice and black fire?"
Hei Xuanzi stood still, his face turning from purple to green, and then from green to white.
Looking at Huo Yuhao standing with his hands behind his back in the sky, searching for his next target, he felt an unprecedented sense of despondency.
His previous remarks now seem not only a joke, but downright foolish and self-humiliating.
