Chapter 97 Shrek Academy vs. Star Luo National Academy
Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, possesses the Heavenly Fiend Lone Star martial soul and is a level 91 control-type titled Douluo. This martial soul is extremely special and terrifying; legend has it that it will bring misfortune to one's relatives, friends, wife, and children, destined for a life of loneliness.
But what he gained by sacrificing all his emotional bonds was unparalleled power. Thanks to the special stellar power drawn by the Lone Star of Calamity, although he was only level 91, he could unleash terrifying combat power comparable to a level 95 Super Douluo under certain conditions!
Huang Jinxu's deep, hoarse voice echoed in the square, devoid of any emotion, "The four teams for the semi-finals, come up on stage to draw lots. Shrek Academy, Di'ao Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and Star Luo National Academy."
The captains of the four teams went on stage as instructed. A deafening roar of cheers erupted from the stands, the vast majority of which were for the host nation, Star Luo National Academy.
"Star Luo! Star Luo! We must win!"
"Starry Sky! Starry Sky! The championship is ours!"
The unified chants were deafening, almost completely drowning out the voices of the supporters from the other three colleges.
Among the Star Luo National Academy team, the most dazzling was undoubtedly Princess Xu Jiujiu, who wore a gorgeous golden dress, had a graceful figure, and possessed unparalleled beauty.
Her noble and elegant temperament and radiant beauty drew countless cheers from the stands, including Dai Youheng, who was often among them.
Besides her beauty, Xu Jiujiu's strength is equally astonishing. Slightly older than Dai Youheng, she is already a Soul King level expert, possessing the Star Crown, a top-tier weapon spirit inherited from the Xingluo Xu family. It combines offense, control, and support, with no weaknesses, making her a true prodigy.
The lottery results came out quickly.
Huang Jinxu announced, "The first match of the semifinals: Shrek Academy versus Star Luo National Academy!"
"The second match of the semifinals: Imperial Academy versus Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!"
This result sent the entire audience into a frenzy once again!
After a long while, he stood at the very front of the Xingluo team, his gaze piercing through the crowd and landing precisely on Dai Youheng in the Shrek team.
A slight smile played on her lips, tracing a beautiful arc that held both challenge and scrutiny. She thought to herself, "Dai Youheng, it seems fate has ordained that we meet on the battlefield ahead of schedule. Very well, let me personally test just how sharp this sword you, soon to be used by me, truly is!"
A highly anticipated civil war is about to unfold between the pride of the Star Luo Empire and the glory of the continent's number one academy. The complex and subtle relationship between Dai Youheng and Xu Jiujiu will also see its first public clash on this arena.
The atmosphere on the arena was tense and deadly.
Shrek Academy and Star Luo National Academy, two teams that both carry countless eyes and expectations, have finally met in a head-on collision.
Looking at Xu Jiujiu, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and radiant with light, Dai Youheng took the initiative to speak, as if chatting casually, "Princess Jiujiu, it has been a long time since we last fought, since you knocked me down with three palms last time."
He spoke casually and nonchalantly about that embarrassing and dark history that belonged to the "predecessor".
After a long while, she smiled gently, her golden eyes gleaming with wisdom and scrutiny. She said frankly, "The feeling you give me now is completely different. To be honest, even if I went all out, let alone three blows, I might not be able to guarantee victory."
This was not a humble statement, but a calm assessment based on Dai Youheng's previous astonishing performance of crushing Ye Wuqing and breaking the Guzhu Sword with his blade.
She asked herself, she could defeat those two, but she could never do it with such ease.
This seemingly casual conversation between the two deeply stung one member of the Star Luo National Academy team, Huang Heyun.
He had been secretly in love with her for a long time. Seeing his goddess chatting and laughing with his former defeated rival, a mere illegitimate son of a duke, his jealousy and anger instantly overwhelmed his reason.
"Dai Youheng!" Huang Heyun suddenly took a step forward, his voice filled with barely suppressed resentment, "How dare you speak to Her Highness the Princess like that? You've only just recovered from your injuries and made some insignificant progress recently, yet you dare to be so arrogant? Do you even deserve to fight Her Highness the Princess? Last time I could beat you to your knees begging for mercy, and I can do it again this time!"
Dai Youheng turned his gaze to Huang Heyun, a strange smile playing on his lips. Come to think of it, he really had to thank this brute.
If Huang Heyun hadn't been used as a pawn by him back then, he wouldn't have been able to completely devour that guy so easily.
"Yellow River Cloud." Dai Youheng smiled and said in a calm tone, "Speaking of which, you have done me a favor. For the sake of that favor, I will make you fly out of the arena in a good and painless way later."
These inexplicable words startled Huang Heyun. When had he ever done this guy a favor? Didn't he just beat him up not long ago? Could he have a masochistic fetish, or was he deliberately humiliating him?
Just then, the referee, Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu, rang out in his cold, emotionless voice, "Both sides prepare, release your Martial Souls!"
In an instant, a surge of powerful soul energy erupted from the Star Luo National Academy, with five perfectly matched soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—shining brightly in unison!
A team of seven Soul Kings.
Although it lacks top-tier Soul Emperor-level combat power, the overall depth and balance of its lineup are astonishing!
Princess Xu Jiujiu, who was at the head of the group, twirled gracefully. Her magnificent golden dress seemed to come alive in the light of soul power, quickly transforming and extending into a set of armor and dress that fit her body and shimmered with starlight, making her look both noble and elegant, as well as heroic and dashing!
Above her head, a miniature crown made of pure starlight slowly rotated, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura. This was the Star Crown Martial Soul, the top-tier martial soul of the Star Luo Empire!
Beside her stood Huang Heyun, imbued with the Dark Demon Tiger Martial Soul, and Dugu Shangshan, imbued with the Netherworld Lion Martial Soul, like two guardian deities, their auras fierce and powerful. Their combined strength was comparable to that of a low-level Soul Emperor.
Shrek Academy also released their martial souls at the same time, but compared to Shrek Academy, their spirit ring configuration and level were clearly inferior.
"Proceed according to plan! Head straight for the enemy's lair!" Ma Xiaotao shouted, and her huge phoenix wings of flame suddenly unfurled, instantly engulfing the entire area in scorching heat! Without any hesitation, she immediately unleashed her strongest power, and her sixth spirit ring suddenly shone brightly!
"Sixth Soul Skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower!"
Countless enormous fiery meteors once again rained down from the sky like an apocalyptic catastrophe, their target being the core of the Star Luo National Academy. For a long time, Ma Xiaotao wanted to forcefully break through the situation by relying on the absolute strength of the Soul Emperor!
However, a knowing smile appeared on Xu Jiujiu's lips.
After Ma Xiaotao's killer move was exposed in the last match, she had already studied how to deal with it. Xu Jiujiu is not only a Soul Master, but also an excellent Soul Instructor.
"Absolute Defense Barrier, activate!" Xu Jiujiu shouted.
Her palm held a peculiar soul tool that resembled a crystal dome, and with a hum, a huge, semi-transparent energy shield instantly rose up.
This is not a traditional soul skill shield, but a closed defensive soul tool carefully prepared by the Star Luo Empire, specifically designed to counter high-intensity burst soul skills!
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!"
The Phoenix meteor shower bombarded it, yet it could not budge it in the slightest.
The next moment, a semi-transparent cubic energy cage appeared out of thin air, like the most solid crystal coffin, sealing Ma Xiaotao and the boiling phoenix flames around her inside.
This cubic cage was unusually peculiar, seemingly able to absorb and isolate internal energy. Ma Xiaotao's devastating Phoenix Meteor Shower energy surged wildly within it, but only caused violent ripples on the cage walls, unable to break through, and was ultimately forcibly suppressed and dissipated inside the cage!
Ma Xiaotao herself was completely trapped inside. She angrily pounded on the cage walls, her phoenix flames scorching her, but the specially made soul tool cage was extremely tough and could not be broken in a short time!
"Sister Xiaotao!" The Shrek Academy members were shocked!
"Success!" Xu Jiujiu's eyes flashed with joy. Her tactics had worked perfectly. This one-time use special soul-binding tool was priceless, and it was all for this moment.
Without any hesitation, she waved her hand forward, her voice clear and decisive, "Now's the time. Take them down!"
""
The seven Soul Kings of Star Luo National Academy, like tigers unleashed from their shackles, unleashed their Soul Skills with overwhelming force, directly attacking the remaining six members of Shrek Academy who had lost their strongest fighter.
Huang Heyun took the lead, his dark tiger claws aimed straight at Dai Youheng, a sinister smile on his face. "Dai Youheng! Now let's see who can help you."
