As various thoughts and changes occurred in Ma Rulong's mind, on the other side, Dai Yueheng was also undergoing a strange transformation.
All his white tiger fur had turned black. The fierce qi in Dai Yueheng's body was immediately guided out by the dark power. The original righteous light of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger instantly turned into a dark and evil force, ravaging and surging within his body.
It was already impossible for Dai Yueheng to control it anymore. Outside, a thick aura of light was madly suppressing him, causing his own evil aura to continuously dissipate. And inside, it was a mad ravaging after the combination of fierceness and darkness.
The fierce killing intent was itself a part of the darkness. The effect of the Judgment Blade on him was even far greater than on an ordinary soul master. Dai Yueheng's pair of pupils, which had originally shone with a dual-colored light, instantly turned a pitch-black, ink-like color.
Is it over just like this? Am I going to lose? Is Shrek Academy going to lose? The glory of the White Tiger lineage, and the glory of Shrek!
Dai Yueheng's heart was filled with struggle. An unwilling thought gushed out like a wellspring. Beside him, Qi Zhu, whose face was uncertain, finally released his world-destroying strike, but was once again blocked by Ma Rulong with an invincible protective shield at the cost of his last bit of soul power.
Ma Rulong, who had fought for the last chance for the Xiao Hongchen siblings, was finally sent flying back. He was caught by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Heaven-Shaking Douluo. One could see that half of this Sun Moon team captain's hair had already turned gray. For the victory of the Sun Moon team, to avenge his fallen teammates, he had fought to the last moment.
At the same time, Dai Yueheng erupted. He had already briefly reached the Soul Sage level with the amplification of his own three great soul skills and Gongyang Mo's amplification. As a disciple of the Shrek inner court and the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, whether it was in strength, talent, or his own desire for battle, Dai Yueheng could be said to be one of the best among the inner court disciples. Among his peers, only Ma Xiaotao could suppress him. He was even more so the hope of the White Tiger Duke in the military in the future.
At this moment, all the suppression was ignited. Under the effect of the obsession in this White Tiger Soul Emperor's heart, his martial soul began to undergo a mutation and degeneration in an instant.
The White Tiger, the king among beasts, the incarnation of a divine beast. Even in the era of the dragon clan, only an extremely powerful giant dragon could be compared with it.
And among the White Tigers, the one with the purest bloodline was naturally the Radiant White Tiger. However, the Radiant White Tiger was not the only one.
In Dai Yueheng's body, he possessed a part of the divine beast White Tiger's bloodline. It was just that the divine beast bloodline of the White Tiger lineage was not pure. Under the influence of the mixed attributes, he could never be a true divine beast White Tiger.
However, just at this moment, the bloodline in his body had changed, turning into a Dark White Tiger filled with darkness and violence, possessing an endless intent of destruction and annihilation.
The dark side of the White Tiger lineage, the Dark White Tiger, for the first time appeared in this world in the form of a martial soul.
The pillar of light that had been rising from Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen had already changed. The pillar of light condensed in the air, turning into the shape of a giant toad. What was most strange was that when all the light had condensed on this toad, the color had changed.
The gold of the Three-Legged Golden Toad and the ice-blue of the Cinnabar Clear Ice Toad had at this moment completely disappeared. What remained was only a red color that emitted a metallic luster. The reddish-gold luster rendered this five-meter-tall giant toad incomparably brilliant. Its pair of eyes were even more so as black as an abyss.
It opened its great mouth. In its mouth, a reddish-gold vortex was faintly and violently rotating, as if it could erupt at any moment.
Xiao Hongchen's voice resounded throughout the entire field. Even at this time, he still had not forgotten that he had to play the hero who turned the tide.
"Take this, Shrek Academy! Let me show you what a truly powerful martial soul fusion skill is! Priceless Love!"
The reddish-gold toad had three legs, but just as it was about to spit out the reddish-gold vortex, its eyes had turned into the same luster as the Cinnabar Clear Ice Toad. At the same time the golden halo spread, it was also the moment the Priceless Love erupted. The vortex-shaped reddish-gold light transformed into a torrent and poured down, sweeping straight for the transforming Dai Yueheng and the other two Soul Kings of Shrek.
The reddish-gold light was filled with the clang of metal and the cold hardness of ice. What was even more terrifying was that when it appeared, it had actually caused the air to violently twist due to the scorching heat. A variety of contradictory factors gathered together, forming a kind of almost twisted and hysterical madness. The entire competition stage, in the shining of this Priceless Love's reddish-gold, seemed to have already turned into an ocean of lava.
The moment the terrifying might that could melt gold and iron fell, the entire competition stage had already boiled over like a volcanic eruption. The madness of the metal, plus the potent poison of the Cinnabar Clear Ice Toad and the fusion of that ice and fire, made this wide competition stage seem to have turned into a human purgatory.
In this life, the Xiao Hongchen siblings were not injured, nor were they obstructed by the so-called Robe of Light. They had finally managed to display this complete version of Priceless Love. Its power was actually so terrifying!
Yan Shaozhe sighed lightly. He knew that the Sun Moon team had given their all for this. Shrek had lost!
The figure of the Heaven-Shaking Douluo instantly appeared in the center of the competition stage. With his Titled Douluo strength, he naturally was not afraid of a martial soul fusion skill cast by two Soul Kings. Now he had to make a move to stop it. The shameless dean of Shrek was right below the stage. If he let these three Shrek students die or get injured on the stage, then he wouldn't have to mix in the soul master world anymore.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the Hall Master Jing Hongchen beside him. This old fellow was now smiling so hard his mouth couldn't close, the corners of his mouth almost reaching his cheeks. Isn't it just that his grandson and granddaughter put on a strong show of their fusion skill in the team battle? They won the team battle, but there's still an individual knockout match and a two-two-three battle to go.
Priceless Love was finally stopped by the Heaven-Shaking Douluo, which also formally announced the defeat of the continent's number one academy, the Shrek team, in the team battle.
"Team battle, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy wins!"
Dai Yueheng's entire body emitted an evil aura. He glared at the referee. "Who told you to announce it randomly? We haven't lost yet! I can still continue to fight!"
The Heaven-Shaking Douluo frowned and said, "Do you think that with just your Soul Sage strength, you can withstand the martial soul fusion skill cast by two Soul Kings joining forces?"
"I..." Dai Yueheng was too eager to show himself in front of his father. He also knew that the referee was right. He was, after all, the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke. After a brief loss of emotional control, he quickly calmed down. A trace of almost imperceptible resentment and fierceness flashed in his eyes. He nodded at the referee. "I am very sorry. I was impulsive."
All the attacks had now ended. The eyes of every member of the Sun Moon team were red. A competition, this was just a competition! Yet three of their team members had died in battle, and one was heavily injured. The students who could represent the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy to participate were all the most outstanding talents of the Sun Moon Empire, and even more so their partners, their brothers. For them to die just like that, the grief and indignation in their hearts had reached their peak. If not for the Heaven-Shaking Douluo standing horizontally before them, I'm afraid they would have already rushed over to fight Shrek to the death.
"What are you trying to do?" Yan Shaozhe finally stood up at this time, his cold gaze staring at the remaining members of the Sun Moon team. "Our participating members, Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan, are also not lightly injured. I haven't even sought an explanation from you yet!"
Hearing these words, the people of the Sun Moon team were instantly stunned, their mouths askew and their eyes slanted. Like master, like disciple. As expected of Shrek's rogue leader. To be so fresh and refined when playing the rogue!
"Dean Yan, do you mean to say that the lives of your Shrek Academy's people are lives, but the lives of my Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy's students are not?" Jing Hongchen stood out, his face ashen as he looked straight at Yan Shaozhe. Although he had long heard of Shrek Academy's double standards, to personally hear the dean say such words was unbearable.
"Hmph, Hall Master Hongchen, is it? What great airs!" Yan Shaozhe, under the watchful eyes of all, felt a little guilty. After all, among their people, only Ling Luochen was somewhat injured. The others were not seriously hurt.
He then immediately shifted his gaze to Ma Rulong and commanded coldly, "Give me the sword he used just now."
Old Ma's face changed. "That is absolutely not possible! That is a level-eight soul tool produced by our Sun Moon Empire's Illustrious Virtue Hall. Its value is immeasurable."
"I'll just ask you, will you give it, or not?" Yan Shaozhe's voice was still cold and hard. There was no powerful momentum coming from his body. But just this one question made the clothes on the back of the Old Ma wet through.
Elder Xuan did not look at him, but cast his gaze directly at the ashen-faced Jing Hongchen.
How could Jing Hongchen possibly agree to such a humiliating command? He said with a cold face, "Dean Yan, you are a generation's Super Douluo. Are you going to bully the small with your great age and make things difficult for these juniors?"
Yan Shaozhe said indifferently, "This old one does not deign to do so. But you've seen Dai Yueheng's situation. He was affected by some soul tool of yours, and his martial soul has mutated. It's hard to say whether his martial soul will degenerate because of this. I will not bully the small with my great age. I will directly find you, this old fellow, to settle this. Those two are your grandson and granddaughter, right? I'll take them back to Shrek Academy. You, this old bastard, can come to Shrek to ask me for them." As he spoke, he reached out to grab the exhausted Xiao Hongchen siblings.
Just at this time, Huo Yuhao blocked in front of the Xiao Hongchen siblings, taking off the disguise on his face. "Dean Yan, long time no see."
"Huo Yuhao?" Yan Shaozhe's eyebrow raised. "You have indeed surrendered to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy. Just as well. I will take the opportunity to capture you and bring you to justice."
"You try?" The corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth lifted slightly, his hands on his hips, his doors wide open.
Seeing this boy not taking him seriously at all, Yan Shaozhe was angry in his heart and struck out at Huo Yuhao like lightning.
"Yan Shaozhe, do you think this old one does not exist?" A red light flashed on Jing Hongchen's chest. A powerful repulsive force instantly erupted, directly shaking Yan Shaozhe's outstretched hand away.
In terms of soul power level and cultivation, Jing Hongchen was naturally no match for Yan Shaozhe. But if his status as a level-nine soul tool master was taken into account, the situation would be different.
"Very good!" Yan Shaozhe's face was not very good. He knew that with Jing Hongchen here, plus a Soul Douluo-level Old Ma, he really couldn't do anything to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy group for a while. He was not Elder Xuan. His comprehensive strength was not much stronger than Jing Hongchen's.
The nearly one million spectators present, watching this dramatic scene, couldn't help but discuss. It was originally just a tournament for young people to display their strength. They had not expected it to trigger a confrontation between Titled Douluos.
"You all just wait!" Yan Shaozhe fiercely swung his sleeve. After all, this was not his Shrek's home ground. To excessively interfere with the competition would also give his Shrek a bad impression. But this did not mean the matter was over just like that.
Seeing that the two great masters did not really make a move, the three great Star Luo Guardian Douluos, who had been paying attention to the changes on the field, all let out a sigh of relief at the same time. Although they were all Titled Douluos, there was clearly a considerable gap between them and Yan Shaozhe or Jing Hongchen. If these two really went at it without any regard, they might not necessarily be able to stop them.
Next was the second round of the finals, the individual knockout match. Before it began, both sides had to first decide on the order of their appearance and then hand it to the referee. Only this could ensure fairness as much as possible.
Wang Yan had long since prepared the list and had handed it to the Heaven-Shaking Douluo Huang Jinxu at the first moment. And the Sun Moon team's side, because of three deaths and one heavily injured, had undergone a change. Old Ma could only send up a few of them according to Huo Yuhao's suggestion.
Fortunately, the Sun Moon team had successfully won the team battle. Even if they lost the individual knockout match, they still had a chance in the two-two-three battle format.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao, on whom high hopes had been placed, was not arranged in the individual knockout match. He said he had other matters to attend to and had temporarily left the waiting area.
What Huo Yuhao had to do was very simple. Since he had chosen to participate in this tournament, he would surely be discovered by the people of Shrek Academy. During the tournament, out of face, Yan Shaozhe might not be able to bring himself to make a move. But after the tournament, it would be hard to say.
At that time, what they would have to face would not just be one Bright Phoenix Douluo. One must know that at that time, in order to rescue the participating team members of Shrek Academy and Elder Xuan, the Sea God Pavilion had dispatched a large group of elders to the Ming Dou Mountain Range for support.
Although it was unknown where those old fellows had gone to stroll, on the return journey after the tournament, they would surely have to escort this group of Shrek students back.
Yan Shaozhe would call for people, so he, Huo Yuhao, would naturally also have to call for people.
To be precise, call for beasts!
If you, Shrek, are shameless and play the rogue, does that mean he, Huo Yuhao, cannot?
