Chapter 110 The Tragic Ma Rulong.
The three-layered protective shield lasted only a moment, but Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Meteor Shower was far from over. The instant the shield disappeared, a golden light simultaneously shone around the four members of the Sun Moon Team at the front. This golden light was the Invincible Shield.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Xuanming Displacement!"
A black light flashed, and immediately afterward, Xu Sanshi's body vanished, replaced by someone else.
The one replaced was none other than Ma Rulong, the retreating captain of the Sun Moon Team.
The Sun Moon Team members never expected that Shrek Academy's first target would be their strongest member.
The moment the displacement was complete, Xu Sanshi, without hesitation, unleashed a powerful Xuanming Shock, amplified by the Xuanming power, slamming himself into the ground.
The black halo instantly enveloped the other six members of the Sun Moon Team, delaying their planned release of their soul tools.
"Super!" Before Ma Rulong could even curse, Chen Zifeng's sudden attack followed.
However, the instant Chen Zifeng's Soul-Chasing Sword pierced Ma Rulong, a burst of intense white light erupted from his body, shattering a white bracelet on Ma Rulong's right hand. The intense white light also forcefully sent the murderous Chen Zifeng flying. A level five soul tool, a repulsion bracelet. Single-use.
Before Ma Rulong could react, Ma Xiaotao's fourth soul ring, which was rapidly swooping down, shone brightly. Golden-red flames shot out from the ground, surging wildly towards Ma Rulong.
Under the familiar golden light of the Shrek Academy members, Ma Rulong's invincible shield instantly lit up, blocking Ma Xiaotao's phoenix flames.
Ma Rulong finally had time to react. With a loud shout, a brilliant black light suddenly shone from his head, and a massive helmet appeared atop it. After releasing his martial soul, a gigantic ape solidified.
This was Ma Rulong's martial soul, the Big-Headed Spirit Ape.
The Big-Headed Spirit Ape martial soul was a full-power amplification soul ring, but it had one advantage: it made Ma Rulong's mental strength twice as strong as other soul masters of the same cultivation level. This greatly aided in controlling and using soul tools.
A golden cannon appeared on Ma Rulong's shoulder. Wu Xuan and the others were very familiar with this soul tool; it was Ma Rulong's level seven soul ray.
A dazzling golden light began to converge from within the cannon. At such close range, Ma Xiaotao couldn't dodge it even if she wanted to. Perhaps due to his confidence in his invincible shield, Ma Rulong ignored Wu Xuan's presence.
It was this ignoring that led to the beginning of the Sun and Moon Team's defeat.
A jet-black hurricane erupted from Wu Xuan's palm.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Soul-Scattered Wind!"
Wu Xuan's black fourth soul ring suddenly lit up, and a black wind gathered, carrying a faint, sharp whistling sound.
Wu Xuan raised his hand and swung it out, the black wind piercing through the invincible shield like a beam of light and disappearing into Ma Rulong's body.
The golden cannon barrel only flashed briefly before going out of commission. Ma Rulong's face twisted, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Wu Xuan.
In less than a second, his soul power vanished into thin air, evaporating to the point that he couldn't even activate a level seven soul-guided ray.
Ma Xiaotao gave her opponent no time to react. She suddenly raised her right arm, and blazing golden-red flames instantly condensed, transforming into a crimson phoenix that shot out like lightning.
It appeared as if Ma Xiaotao had merely raised her right arm, but in reality, that attack incorporated her own will, compressing the terrifying power of three skills together: Phoenix Rebirth, Phoenix Cloud Piercing Strike, and the Phoenix Burst Strike skill attached to her right arm's soul bone.
At this moment, the clothes on Ma Xiaotao's right arm had completely disappeared, revealing an arm as red-hot as embers.
Compressing three soul skills together was a secret technique of Shrek Academy, suitable only for soul masters like Ma Xiaotao who primarily attacked with energy. Even Dai Yueheng couldn't do it.
"Boom!"
Flames shot into the sky, and the invincible shield, which hadn't yet been activated, shattered. Ma Rulong was seen kneeling on one knee, his body trembling violently in a huge crater. His entire body was covered in blood and grime, dried and charred from the intense heat.
At this moment, the enormous helmet on his head was shattered, and a giant ape, over four meters tall and charred black, lay before Ma Rulong.
Ma Rulong's chest heaved violently as he stared at Wu Xuan and his companion opposite him, his fists clenched tightly. Although he still retained consciousness on the competition stage, his soul power was exhausted, and he was severely injured, rendering him incapable of fighting.
On the other side, long before Ma Rulong lost his fighting ability, Xu Sanshi hadn't hesitated at all. He moved sideways, and the Xuanming Displacement light reappeared. On the Shrek Academy team's side, Dai Yueheng had already taken a step forward.
Displacement successful!
Dai Yueheng unhesitatingly stepped to the front, simultaneously using the three amplifying soul skills: White Tiger Protective Barrier, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and White Tiger Demon God Transformation, maximizing his attack and defense.
He leaped forward, slashing a claw at Xiao Hongchen in the back row.
The Soul Emperor's full-force attack, amplified by 100% speed, left Xiao Hongchen with no chance to dodge. Before he could even react, the tiger's claw was already upon him, rendering any attempt to activate his soul tool impossible.
As the claw descended, an even more intense golden light suddenly erupted from Xiao Hongchen's body.
This golden light was entirely triggered; the White Tiger Soul Emperor's full-force attack, with its formidable penetrating power, was completely blocked by this burst of golden light. Xiao Hongchen merely grunted, took a step back, and his face paled slightly. The golden light emanating from him provided all-around defense, resembling an invincible shield, but far more powerful and dazzling than any invincible shield the Shrek Academy team had ever seen.
Xiao Hongchen had managed to block Dai Yueheng's attack with his own triggered, advanced version of an invincible shield, but the shield, shimmering with brilliant golden light, weakened considerably in an instant.
The golden protective aura surrounding him was called the Barrier of Resilience, a level six soul tool. Soul tools require the soul master's own soul power to trigger or continuously provide soul power to activate.
The Invincible Shield is so expensive because its defensive power is incredibly strong, and it only requires a certain amount of soul power to trigger. Afterward, a special crystal inside provides enough energy to support the shield for three seconds, achieving the defensive power of an eight-ring soul master. Its only drawback is that it can only be used once, making it quite extravagant.
The Barrier of Resilience on Xiao Hongchen's body is much more advanced. Its defensive power is slightly lower than the Invincible Shield, but its biggest advantage is that it can be reused and is trigger-activated. This means that even if Xiao Hongchen is attacked without any reaction, the Barrier of Resilience will automatically protect him, making it much more useful than the Invincible Shield.
However, its disadvantages are also present. Once triggered, the Barrier of Resilience will immediately and automatically absorb Xiao Hongchen's soul power to provide defense. The Barrier of Resilience successfully blocked the full-force attack of Dai Yueheng's three amplified soul skills. But Xiao Hongchen, a five-ring Soul King, had nearly half of his soul power consumed in an instant by the Resilient Barrier. This caused him to pale in shock.
