The illusionary Dai Yueheng roared at Xu Tianhao, "We admit defeat! Shrek Academy admits defeat!"
However, Ma Xiaotao's expression turned cold. "What are you talking about? Admitting defeat?! Shrek is invincible! How could we possibly admit defeat!"
"Even if we die today, we will never admit defeat to someone from the Sun Moon Empire! Dai Yueheng, as the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, how can you be so submissive!"
Facing Ma Xiaotao's questioning, Xu Tianhao directly controlled several illusions to hurl abuse at her.
Dai Yueheng roared, "Ma Xiaotao, are you a freaking idiot? Only by staying alive is there hope!"
Yao Haoxuan, whose legs were broken, roared repeatedly, "It's not your legs that are broken, so of course it's easy for you to talk!"
Ling Luochen watched coldly. "Ma Xiaotao, isn't it enough that you killed Gongyang Mo and crippled Yao Haoxuan's legs?"
Facing the accusations and insults of her former teammates, Ma Xiaotao instantly lost her sanity, her breathing heavy like a bull and her eyes turning blood-red.
"You! You!" Ma Xiaotao was momentarily overcome with rage.
Just then, the Sun God and Moon God descended from the sky.
The Solar Divine Light and Taiyin Moon Radiance were activated, directly binding Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao struggled desperately but found she could not break free at all.
Xu Tianhao smiled slightly. "Since you are unwilling, let's change the game."
Xu Tianhao looked at Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng. "Since you want to live, this prince will give you a chance."
Saying that, Xu Tianhao turned to look at Ma Xiaotao, who was bound to the ground in tattered clothes. "If you violate her now, I will let you go."
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's expression changed drastically.
What Ma Xiaotao didn't expect even more was that Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng didn't hesitate for a moment.
"Fine, we'll do it! As long as you let us go, we'll do anything you want."
Watching Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng walking toward her, how could Ma Xiaotao endure it any longer?
"What do you two think you're doing?! I am your captain! My teacher is Yan Shaozhe!"
"If you do this, do you still want to stay at Shrek!"
"You two beasts! Get away from me!"
Responding to Ma Xiaotao was Dai Yueheng's cold sneer. "We're about to die, why would we care about that?"
The usually aloof Chen Zifeng said something even more shocking, "To die under a beauty's skirt, even as a ghost, one would be happy."
Ma Xiaotao was truly enraged.
Seeing her former teammates approaching her with lewd expressions, Ma Xiaotao's anger surged, and the Phoenix flames on her body erupted.
"Aaaaah! Since you have no shame, none of you shall live!" Ma Xiaotao's eyes were blood-red, and the Phoenix Evil Fire on her body turned directly black.
Seeing this, Xu Tianhao's smile widened. "Falling so soon? It seems this trick works after all."
In the next moment, Ma Xiaotao's Aura suddenly became monstrously evil, and the original Phoenix Evil Fire completely transformed into Dark Evil Fire.
The Evil Fire Phoenix quietly transformed into the Black Phoenix.
This time, without the guidance of the Judgment Sword, Xu Tianhao used this method of mental stimulation to make Ma Xiaotao's blackening even more thorough.
Only when Ma Xiaotao's heart turned dark would her Black Phoenix Spirit become even more powerful.
Seeing that the time was right, Xu Tianhao silently canceled his Golden Rank Second Awakening and withdrew the Sun God and Moon God.
At the moment Ma Xiaotao erupted, the Tsukuyomi Space suddenly vanished.
So much time had passed inside the Tsukuyomi Space, yet only a second had passed in the outside world.
The moment the Tsukuyomi Space vanished, everyone watching the match outside was stunned.
In their eyes, Ma Xiaotao's movements had only paused for a second, then the aggressive Ma Xiaotao transformed into a Black Phoenix with surging black flames.
A terrifying evil energy erupted as Ma Xiaotao fell into a frenzy, completely unaware that anything was wrong.
In the eyes of others, Ma Xiaotao, having transformed into the Black Phoenix, actually charged directly at Dai Yueheng to kill him.
"Beast! I want you dead!" Ma Xiaotao roared.
Dai Yueheng and the others were rushing toward Xu Tianhao's position. Ma Xiaotao was in the sky, and since they didn't have eyes in the back of their heads, they naturally couldn't see her.
When they heard Ma Xiaotao's voice, they only thought she was talking about Xu Tianhao.
But Gongyang Mo, who had also taken to the air, saw clearly that Ma Xiaotao had turned into the Black Phoenix and was diving down to kill Dai Yueheng and the others.
Gongyang Mo quickly warned, "Xiaotao! What are you doing!"
But at this moment, Ma Xiaotao was possessed by madness and couldn't hear Gongyang Mo's voice at all.
Dai Yueheng and the others finally realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
Ma Xiaotao, as the Black Phoenix, was too strong. Dai Yueheng and the others only had time to activate their respective defensive spirit tools.
The spirit tools, which were originally enough to withstand a full-strength blow from a six-ring Spirit Emperor, only lasted three seconds before being completely eroded by Ma Xiaotao's Black Phoenix.
Dai Yueheng hurriedly raised his right arm and activated a Spirit Bone skill for defense.
In the next moment, Dai Yueheng's entire arm turned to ash, leaving only a crystal-clear Spirit Bone on the ground.
Beside him, Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan couldn't dodge in time; one lost his legs, and the other was directly turned into charcoal.
Xixi, who was slightly faster, and the ice-attributed Ling Luochen barely managed to avoid Ma Xiaotao's attack, but they also sustained significant injuries!
This was the Black Phoenix!
A Black Phoenix that was three points weaker when redeemed, but invincibly strong when blackened!
The blackened Ma Xiaotao, single-handedly, left this generation of Shrek's top geniuses with one dead, two crippled, and two heavily injured!
All of this happened too quickly.
In the eyes of others, it had only been five seconds since the start of the match!
The massive advantage of seven against one was directly destroyed by Ma Xiaotao's own hands after she turned into the Black Phoenix!
Yan Shaozhe had already moved, but he was still a step too late.
Because Jing Hongchen stood in his way.
Jing Hongchen sneered, "Yan Shaozhe, as the Dean of Shrek Academy's Spirit Department, are you going to take the lead in violating the match rules?"
Facing Jing Hongchen's questioning and seeing the tragic scene on the Soul Fighting Platform, Yan Shaozhe was fuming with rage.
"Jing Hongchen, get out of my way!" Nine spirit rings pulsed around Yan Shaozhe's body as his Bright Phoenix Spirit was released.
Facing the Rank 95 Yan Shaozhe, Jing Hongchen wasn't afraid at all. "Shrek hasn't admitted defeat, you won't get past this old man today."
Seeing that Ma Xiaotao was about to deliver a finishing blow to the armless Dai Yueheng, Yan Shaozhe finally gritted his teeth and said, "Shrek admits defeat!"
With those words, he stopped looking at Jing Hongchen and flashed in front of Ma Xiaotao, surging with Light Power to try his best to control her.
Since Yan Shaozhe personally admitted defeat, Jing Hongchen naturally didn't need to block him further.
The occurrence of all this completely set the countless spectators into an uproar.
"Wait! What happened?!"
"How did Ma Xiaotao turn into a Black Phoenix? Why did she attack her teammates?!"
"Sorcery! It must be sorcery!"
"After Xu Tianhao used a Spirit Ability, Ma Xiaotao became like this and even attacked her teammates!"
"That's right, it must be Xu Tianhao's doing!"
Someone also had a unique perspective: "But then again, Ma Xiaotao is really strong!"
"Dai Yueheng is also a Spirit Emperor, yet even together with Chen Zifeng, Yao Haoxuan, Xixi, and Ling Luochen, the four of them couldn't stop her!"
Another person exclaimed, "Holy crap, Dai Yueheng's right arm is just gone. Is that a Spirit Bone that fell on the ground?"
"Losing an arm is nothing, didn't you see Chen Zifeng lost both his legs? Now that's truly tragic!"
"What's losing legs? Yao Haoxuan was burned to charcoal; he's dead!"
...
Besides the spectators' amazement, the remaining competing teams in the waiting area were also in a heated debate.
Especially Bei Bei and the others, their faces were filled with complete disbelief.
The match ended less than ten seconds after it began.
Crucially, it was ended by their captain, Ma Xiaotao.
This was simply unbelievable.
And even harder for them to accept!
In the Clear Sky Sect team's waiting area, Tang Wutong watched Xu Tianhao's calm figure, her beautiful eyes shimmering.
Tang Wutong murmured to herself, "Xu Tianhao... is this your ability?"
The scene was in an uproar, but Xu Tianhao, the protagonist, calmly looked at Huang Jinxu. "Referee, announce the result."
Huang Jinxu looked at the carried-off Dai Yueheng and the others, then glanced at Xu Tianhao before speaking, "Shrek Academy versus Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy wins."
He didn't mention it was a team battle because he was too ashamed.
The highly anticipated Shrek Academy sent a lineup of two Spirit Emperors and five Spirit Kings, yet they were wiped out by Xu Tianhao alone?
Although it was Ma Xiaotao who wiped out Shrek, anyone with eyes could see that the true instigator was Xu Tianhao.
They didn't know what ability Xu Tianhao had used to actually cause Ma Xiaotao to blacken and then violently attack her teammates.
