Chapter 157 Bai Yuhao Masters Susanoo! Bai Xuanzi Makes His Move Again!
Shrek Square above the sky was completely enveloped by the translucent glow of the Divine Core.
The divine power of order emanating from Bai Xuanzi's fingertips was visibly reconstructing the underlying logic of Huo Yuhao and the others' mental consciousness.
The audience in the dark world stared intently at the screen, the process of reorganizing the laws within their sea of consciousness causing their breathing to stop once again.
[The aerial footage continues to play.]
Bai Xuanzi's fingertip touched Huo Yuhao's brow. Guided by that semi-transparent divine power, Huo Yuhao's mental sea did not collapse, but rather, like a tightly woven gear set, it was undergoing a high-frequency disassembly and reassembly.
[The originally scattered spiritual energy, constrained by the logic of order, began to collapse towards the center. Simultaneously, the extremely cold ice attribute was forcibly implanted into the intersection of the spiritual meridians. This was not a simple accumulation of soul power, but rather imbued the spiritual energy with a tangible attack attribute.]
Beside Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and the other six team members maintained the same posture of enlightenment. Bai Xuanzi's will constructed orderly models within their sea of consciousness.
"Don't try to control power; learn to define power." Bai Xuanzi's voice echoed throughout Shrek Square.
"Self-created soul skills under the existing order are essentially a modification of the physical rules of the world. Your current understanding is the process of writing your own laws."
Within a quarter of an hour, Huo Yuhao and the other six people simultaneously opened their eyes.
Huo Yuhao was the first to be affected, and his double pupils underwent a significant change at this moment. Within the dark gold background, the black and red patterns were no longer simply swirling, but instead outlined the ferocious yet solemn silhouette of a skeleton.
"Self-created Soul Skill: Susanoo."
With a soft shout from Huo Yuhao, an extremely terrifying pressure of order suddenly erupted from his center. Deep blue soul power solidified instantly, rapidly rising from the ground around Huo Yuhao's body to form a gigantic, ten-meter-tall half-skull.
Immediately afterwards, flesh and armor, reconstituted through spiritual power and ultimate ice, rapidly covered the skeleton. This enormous energy entity wielded a ten-fist sword constructed of dark red flames, its entire body radiating an orderly fluctuation powerful enough to cleave space itself.
Huo Yuhao stood atop Susanoo's brow, his gaze indifferent. This colossal avatar not only possessed absolute physical defense, but could also sever the opponent's soul power trajectory the instant it swung its heavy sword.
The soul masters of the underworld, witnessing this scene, were once again filled with fear, their minds already numb with shock.
"What kind of skill is this?" a Soul Master from the underworld exclaimed. "To solidify Soul Power and Spiritual Power to this extent, just how powerful must Bai Yuhao be now?"
"This is too powerful... Bai Yuhao's ability to comprehend things is getting stronger with each move! Compared to this move, the Amaterasu from last time is actually quite weak."
Not only Huo Yuhao, but Wang Dong'er also demonstrated her new ability at this moment.
She summoned the Haotian Hammer, and under the resonance of that divine power of order, golden patterns appeared on the surface of the jet-black hammer.
"Self-created Soul Skill: Hammer of Heaven and Earth."
[Following Wang Dong'er's will, the originally moderately sized Haotian Hammer instantly expanded, its volume increasing exponentially. In just one second, the heavy hammer magnified dozens of times, resembling a black mountain suspended in mid-air.]
The giant hammer's descent speed didn't slow down despite its increased size; instead, it possessed spatial locking properties. Under this immense pressure, the air below was compressed into a liquid state, and the visual oppressive force made the power-attack type Soul Masters of the Dark World feel suffocated.
Xiao Xiao's new ability is equally bizarre. The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron above her head emits a deep, bronze light.
"Self-created Soul Skill: Human Emperor Cauldron."
With a flick of her finger, Xiao Xiao caused the giant cauldron to invert, generating an extremely strong spatial suction force. This cauldron possessed its own independent, ordered space.
Once the opponent is poured into the cauldron, the laws within will initiate a refining process, analyzing and transforming the opponent's soul power, martial soul defense, and even mental will into the most primal energy of order.
The other team members also acquired unique, self-created soul skills. Nanmen Yun'er mastered "Instant Kill," capable of severing the continuity of time, while Wu Feng obtained "Dragon Breath," capable of burning away the laws of nature. At this moment, the Shrek Seven's combat power completed the leap from "genius" to "dominator."
A deathly silence fell over the audience in the Black World. They watched the details of the abilities displayed by these twelve or thirteen-year-old children and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"This is not a contest between Soul Masters, this is a god instructing his followers." A sect leader from the underworld said with a defeated expression, "In the face of such power, our Soul Skills are like barbarians wielding wooden sticks."
The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament has officially concluded with a showcase of the strength of all members of Shrek Academy.
The following morning, as the delegations from various countries prepared to depart, Bai Xuanzi reappeared at Shrek Square.
He looked at the Soul Masters who had finished the competition and were preparing to return to their academies, and said calmly, "The journey is long, and the efficiency of the Soul Guidance transportation systems of various countries is too low. Since this is a competition initiated by Shrek Academy, then I will give you a ride."
"Last time, we couldn't handle things together because you all left at different times. But this time, I can take you all directly back to your respective academy gates."
Bai Xuanzi stood in the center of the plaza, not even bothering to construct a complex magic array, but simply waved his hand.
In that instant, the entire Shrek Square was enveloped in an intense white light. Spatial coordinates were forcibly twisted by the precise collision of the God Cores.
[In the scene, hundreds of Soul Masters felt a sudden white light before their eyes, and the bluestone ground beneath their feet instantly replaced. When they opened their eyes again, they were horrified to find themselves standing at the gates of their respective academies.]
The members of the Star Luo National Academy returned to Star Luo City, and the members of the Heavenly Soul Empire returned to Heavenly Soul City. The distance of thousands of miles was covered in a mere second with a wave of Bai Xuanzi's hand.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Soul Masters of the Underworld were once again plunged into extreme shock.
"Is this...is this a large-scale space displacement?"
"No, this is a forced modification of the spatial coordinates of the entire continent. He directly flattened space, teleporting hundreds of people to a point thousands of miles away at the same time."
"Truly, Bai Xuanzi's methods are something else..."
