The defensive barrier of the competition stage was only for the inside, to prevent the power from the internal battles from overflowing. It was a one-way defensive barrier. Therefore, when the members of the Sun Moon team rushed onto the competition stage and towards Dai Yueheng, they got on stage very smoothly.
"You all stop," the Heaven-Shaking Douluo shouted loudly. Although he was also very frustrated, as a referee, he had to stop the riot on the Sun Moon team's side.
The remaining members of the Sun Moon team could no longer hold back. Immediately, dozens of soul tool rays shot straight for the proudly standing Dai Yueheng on the stage.
But just at this time, a figure boldly appeared in the center of the competition stage. All the soul tool rays instantly disintegrated.
It was as if a layer of an invisible azure flame had spread in the air. Including the Heaven-Shaking Douluo, everyone on the competition stage seemed to have solidified for a moment, stopping all their movements.
The one who had come was a woman, about one meter seven in height. From her face, she seemed to be only about fifty years old. Her skin was fair, and her head of black hair was neatly coiled up. A set of white clothes with gold trim made her look very neat and capable. Although she was getting on in years, one could still see that she must have been a peerless beauty when she was young.
"Are you trying to rebel?"
Four simple words, yet they were like four giant hammers, bombarding the hearts of every member and teacher of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy. At this moment, no one could say a word.
Without a doubt, the one who had appeared on the stage and intimidated the crowd was precisely someone from the Sea God Pavilion, the War God Douluo, Xian Lin'er.
Shrek had actually sent two Super Douluos at once!
Xian Lin'er said indifferently, "The history of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament can be traced back ten thousand years. But even when Spirit Hall controlled the continent's soul masters, the tournament was never destroyed. People have died. If you want to settle accounts, please find the referee. According to the competition rules, in order to display one's true strength, the participating team members must go all out. Who can hold back when going all out? And the one who controls the competition is the referee. If someone dies, it can only be said that the referee was not doing their job. What does it have to do with our team members? If anyone plans to break this ten-thousand-year rule, then come at this old lady."
As she spoke, she turned around and walked to stand before Dai Yueheng. Her pretty brow furrowed slightly. "What's going on with your martial soul?"
"It has mutated. They did it," Dai Yueheng's answer was concise and capable, and he raised his chin towards Ma Rulong's position in the Sun Moon team.
"Go back and have Elder Zhuang take a look at you. Settle the competition first," Xian Lin'er could see at a glance the evil aura on Dai Yueheng now. But now Shrek still needed him to carry the main burden. She couldn't say much.
Walking to the edge of the competition stage, Xian Lin'er crossed her arms and turned around again. "The competition still has to go on, unless you want to make a fool of yourselves in front of tens of thousands of people. Oh, right, there's one thing I must say. I don't care if other people die. But if these precious children of mine die, this old lady can't guarantee I won't go crazy. It seems that here, there is no power that can stop us, Shrek, from going crazy."
A threat! This was clearly a naked threat! But still, no one dared to make a sound.
It wasn't until Xian Lin'er had walked off the competition stage with satisfaction that the teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy recovered their ability to move.
The students still wanted to protest, but Old Ma reached out a hand and stopped them.
"Teacher, are we just going to let it go like this? We..." Ma Rulong said with righteous indignation.
Old Ma opened his mouth, turned his head to look at the also-eyeing Yan Shaozhe, and the current situation seemed to be no longer something that Jing Hongchen alone could deter. This War God Douluo Xian Lin'er had clearly just been called over by Yan Shaozhe.
Looking at Old Ma's apprehensive expression, the members of the Sun Moon team all felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured over their heads. One by one, they felt a chill to their hearts.
As soul tool masters, although they had always believed that soul tool masters would surely surpass soul masters in the future, the number ninety-five had completely surpassed their cognition. In the Sun Moon Empire, there was simply no Super Douluo above level ninety-five!
"Are we just going to let it go like this?" Xiao Hongchen, whose soul power had recovered a little, said unwillingly.
Old Ma's old face was ashen. He said, "Although that woman is strong, she also wants face. As long as we don't provoke her, she won't bully the small with her great age either. Everything will follow the normal competition rules. She will not interfere with the competition. All of you, go down. Our people have died, and a large part of the responsibility lies with the referee. This matter, the academy will sooner or later seek justice."
The facts proved that the powerful deterrence of the two Super Douluos was enough to suppress the entire field. Even His Majesty the Star Luo Emperor and the White Tiger Duke did not make a sound, just watched from a distance. A thoughtful look appeared on the face of the Star Luo Emperor, Xu Jiawei, while the White Tiger Duke's two brows were slightly furrowed, as if also thinking about something.
The Heaven-Shaking Douluo, Huang Jinxu's, personality was solitary and eccentric. If it were someone else, he might have acted up even in front of tens of thousands of common people. However, in front of an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, he did not dare. He truly did not dare. Because, just twenty years ago, he had once exchanged blows with Elder Xuan of the Sea God Pavilion, and the result was that he had been given a good beating by the other person...
Taking a deep breath, Huang Jinxu tried hard to calm his own emotions. To be slapped in the face by Shrek was not shameful. Even though Xian Lin'er's words just now had clearly shifted the contradiction onto him, he didn't even argue anything, and could only temporarily endure it.
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, send up your next contestant. Xie Huanyue, enter the stage."
With the individual match having progressed to this point, in fact, Shrek Academy had already managed to turn the tables by half. With Dai Yueheng's current state, he was more than capable of taking on seven by himself, laying a good foundation for the subsequent two-two-three battle format competition.
It seemed that there was no longer anyone who could contend with Dai Yueheng one-on-one.
Old Ma cast his gaze towards Xie Huanyue beside him. Just as he was about to announce surrender for the individual match, he saw Xie Huanyue pull down the brim of the straw hat on his head, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
"I'll go and beat him up."
As he spoke, Xie Huanyue walked slowly towards the stage step by step.
Old Ma was just about to say something more but was stopped by Jing Hongchen at his side.
"He is the one with the highest soul power level among Huo Yuhao's group. I also want to see what his strength is really like."
Jing Hongchen's gaze was fixed on Xie Huanyue, who had walked onto the stage. He said in a deep voice. Although in the previous match against the Star Luo National Academy, Xie Huanyue's performance was average, and the others were injured to the point of being heavily injured, that was all the result of the difference in soul power level.
Among Huo Yuhao's group, the ones Jing Hongchen valued most, besides Huo Yuhao, were the one with two hundred-thousand-year soul rings and this one, the only boy besides Huo Yuhao.
Because of the strength and ruthless methods that Dai Yueheng had shown in the competition just now, countless spectators were not optimistic about this match. Among the contestants, there were only a few overt Soul Emperors, and the youth facing Dai Yueheng this time was clearly not in this list.
Was the Sun Moon team planning to give away another Soul King for free?
Many people thought so, including the Star Luo imperial family watching from the high tower. In the previous confrontation between Yan Shaozhe and Jing Hongchen, they hadn't dared to breathe. After all, both sides were existences that could not be offended.
Seeing that the one who had come on stage was such a young youth, a trace of disdain flashed in Dai Yueheng's tiger eyes. "Sorry. With me here at Shrek, the road to the championship is blocked!"
"That's not necessarily so..." Xie Huanyue took off his straw hat, hung it on the back of his neck, stretched his body, and took up a combat stance.
"It's that little fellow with the strange ape-type martial soul from Huo Yuhao's group," Xian Lin'er clearly knew of Xie Huanyue's existence. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she said in a low voice.
"His talent is indeed surprising, but no matter what, he is only thirteen. It's impossible for him to be Dai Yueheng's opponent," Yan Shaozhe said, glancing at the Xie Huanyue on the field with full confidence.
"The match begins!" The Heaven-Shaking Douluo, seeing that both sides were ready, directly announced the start of the third individual knockout match.
Dai Yueheng's consumption in the team battle before had not been small. Including the two individual matches just now, he had deliberately not used a single soul skill, only fighting with some martial techniques from the army.
In his view, the half-grown youth before him was simply not his opponent. He might as well stride towards Xie Huanyue like a meteor, not even releasing a soul skill.
To his surprise, Xie Huanyue also quickly moved towards him, also not releasing a soul skill. It was just that from his eyes, one could see a thick battle intent.
Bang!
Dai Yueheng swung a punch. Xie Huanyue did not dodge or evade, and also met him head-on with a punch. The fists of both sides collided in mid-air, instantly bursting out with a wave of invisible air fluctuation.
Dai Yueheng was shocked. As a power-attack-type battle Soul Emperor, his physical strength was not something any Soul King could compare to. But the boy before him had actually been able to meet him head-on.
One must know that before this, Xie Huanyue's right arm had absorbed a soul bone. Although that piece, for some reason, could not be normally displayed after being integrated into his right arm, his strength had been greatly improved.
"Good kid! Continue!" A bloodthirsty color appeared in Dai Yueheng's tiger eyes. He pressed forward, directly launching a fierce attack on Xie Huanyue.
Facing the aggressive Dai Yueheng, Xie Huanyue did not retreat, but also contended with him with exquisite fighting skills.
Bang bang bang...
Fists, feet, elbows, knees—the two unknowingly collided many times back and forth, which not only gave the countless spectators a feast for their eyes, but also made them marvel at Xie Huanyue's exquisite fighting skills.
On a comprehensive level, Dai Yueheng was indeed more than one level higher than Xie Huanyue. But Xie Huanyue was always able to entangle with him with his flexible skills, not being at a disadvantage.
All along, after Xie Huanyue's second martial soul awakening, he had been more or less shrouded in Huo Yuhao's shadow, so much so that many people had forgotten his own strength. One must know that he was also from a military family. His research on fighting skills was in no way weaker than Dai Yueheng's!
"I have underestimated you!" Dai Yueheng only felt his whole body's blood boil. This was the first time he had met an opponent who could contend with him in combat skills. However, did his Dai family, which had been passed down for ten thousand years, not have any powerful fighting arts?
"Tiger Drawing!"
When Xie Huanyue once again swung a punch at Dai Yueheng, Dai Yueheng's tiger body seemed to have become illusory, avoiding his attack.
Xie Huanyue's gaze sharpened. He quickly kicked out behind him, but he once again kicked into empty air. Dai Yueheng's figure had at some unknown time already leaped high up.
"If you're in the air, then you can't dodge!"
Xie Huanyue stomped forward. Five pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul rings instantly rose up.
"First Soul Skill, Elasticity Amplification."
Xie Huanyue's two hands fiercely swung back, aimed at the Dai Yueheng high in the air, and then fiercely shot out with the help of the rebound force.
"Rubber—Rebound Cannon!"
This one strike from Xie Huanyue could be said to be extremely fierce. His two palms came together, going straight for Dai Yueheng's body in the air.
"Tiger Air Step!"
A surprisingly shocking scene appeared. Dai Yueheng's two legs kicked towards the empty air, and his sturdy body just like that twisted and moved in the air, once again avoiding Xie Huanyue's attack.
The audience immediately boiled over. Many retired soldiers who had once joined the army even let out cheers. The powerful combat skills displayed by Dai Yueheng were precisely the Fierce Tiger Six Styles that had been passed down far and wide in the army: Tiger Shave, Tiger Finger, Tiger Drawing, Iron Tiger, Tiger Air Step.
To truly display this set of combat skills, one had to put in more effort than an ordinary person, to bring the various abilities of the body to their extreme. Only then was it possible to master this set of techniques.
It was no exaggeration to say that to be able to completely master a complete set of the Fierce Tiger Six Styles was completely equivalent to possessing a powerful ten-thousand-year soul skill!
It was impossible for Xie Huanyue not to know the name of the combat skill that Dai Yueheng was using. On the contrary, he had also practiced this set of army's ultimate skills bitterly before. But because of his previous body shape, his body's functions had been neglected for a long time.
Before his martial soul's mutation, Dai Yueheng was also unable to smoothly use this set of combat skills. The Dark White Tiger had directly raised his physical fitness by a level, which was how he had managed to display this long-lost army combat skill.
However, Xie Huanyue was not yet at a point where he couldn't handle Dai Yueheng.
He spread his two feet, slightly lowered his body, and his right fist touched the ground. A fierce contraction came from his calves, like pumping a pump.
His second soul ring also lit up with it. Second Soul Skill, Pumping!
Xie Huanyue's skin instantly turned red. Steam continuously emerged from his body. His whole person looked very strange.
"To be able to meet you before my partners appear on stage is really great... as long as I beat you up, they at least won't be in any more danger..."
