The moment the Netherworld White Tiger appeared, it did not hesitate at all, and with an aura of destruction, it pounced directly on the remaining three members of Tian Dou.
"Stop it!" Yu Tianqing roared, pushing his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul to its limit. His third Soul Skill, Thunder Net, covered the entire arena, but the Thunder Net was as fragile as paper in front of the Netherworld White Tiger and was torn apart in an instant.
With a roar, Yan Xin launched its strongest attack. The flames of the Fiery Lion struck the Netherworld White Tiger, but only scratched its fur and slowed it down slightly.
The Netherworld White Tiger swung its claws out, and a huge claw shadow mixed with light and dark energy swept across!
"puff!"
"puff!"
Yu Tianqing and Yan Xin coughed up blood and were sent flying off the field like kites with broken strings, landing heavily and losing their fighting ability.
Ye Ning, Tang Hongning, and Dong Ya, the remaining members of the Xingluo team, were also taken off the stage by Tian Dou's last desperate counterattack.
Ye Ning was hit by the aftershock of Yu Tianqing's final Thunder Dragon Claw, while Tang Hongning and Dong Ya were affected by the explosive flames from Yan Xin and fell out of the boundary together.
However, in the blink of an eye, the situation on the field changed dramatically.
The once bustling arena now seemed rather empty.
The dazzling light of the soul skill dissipated, leaving only the raging aftershocks of energy swirling in the arena.
On one side stood the majestic and fierce Netherworld White Tiger, radiating a suffocating aura. Its enormous body occupied almost half the space, and its evil eyes were fixed on its only opponent.
On the other side stood Lin Wan, who had approached the edge of the arena earlier in order to defeat Li An. Now, facing the Netherworld White Tiger from afar, his figure appeared particularly frail in comparison.
At this moment, the entire venue was completely silent.
No one expected the battle to escalate to such a brutal state, ultimately becoming a one-on-one duel between the Netherworld White Tiger and Lin Wan.
In the Tian Dou audience area, the palms of the three education commissioners were covered in cold sweat.
Meng Shenji pursed his lips. Although Lin Wan had created a miracle, facing the Netherworld White Tiger alone was simply a desperate situation.
On the Xingluo delegation's side, Zhu Tianlin and Davis breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although the process was tortuous and many team members were lost, as long as the Netherworld White Tiger is still alive, victory still belongs to Xingluo!
They didn't believe that a level 43 control-type Soul Master could single-handedly withstand a Soul Fusion Technique performed by two Soul Masters.
The Netherworld White Tiger's massive head turned towards Lin Wan, and it spoke arrogantly: "You have every reason to be proud that you forced us to use the Netherworld White Tiger. But now, the game is over!"
Before the words were finished, the massive body of the Netherworld White Tiger, carrying an aura of crushing everything, suddenly pounced on Lin Wan, its sharp claws lashing out as if to tear the very space apart.
Just when everyone on the field thought the outcome was already decided, Lin Wan, who was at an absolute disadvantage, had a sharp glint in her eyes.
His fourth soul ring, that black ten-thousand-year soul ring, lit up instantly.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Nine-Tailed Moon Worship".
Lin Wan's voice was soft, yet it seemed to carry a strange rhythm, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.
In an instant, the air behind him distorted, and nine enormous and magnificent fox tail phantoms appeared out of thin air, stretching out in the air and radiating a holy yet eerie light.
The nine phantoms all made a gesture of worship towards the sky, which, despite being daytime, drew upon the power of the moonlight high above.
The light condensed, and an enormous silver moon, several meters in diameter, slowly took shape behind Lin Wan.
The entire moon disc is composed of pure lunar energy and spiritual power, with sharp, cold light flowing around its edges.
At the same time, the moon slowly rotated, emanating an extreme chill that seemed to freeze the soul, and the surrounding air was now condensed into tiny ice crystals.
This sudden change and the terrifying energy contained in the moon caused the charging Netherworld White Tiger to abruptly halt its movements.
For the first time, a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared in the eyes of the Netherworld White Tiger, which was controlled by the merged consciousness of Dai Linyu and Zhu Zhuyun.
"go."
Lin Wan raised her hand and gently pointed at the roaring, charging Netherworld White Tiger.
Chapter 112 Victory
As Lin Wan gave the command, the huge silver moon behind him emitted a deep hum and then instantly headed towards the Netherworld White Tiger.
The moon did not strike in a straight line, but rather followed a mysterious trajectory. Like the bright moon in the sky, it carried an irresistible power of heaven and earth as it crushed towards the Netherworld White Tiger.
The momentum of the Netherworld White Tiger's charge suddenly stalled, and for the first time, an unprecedented solemnity appeared in its mixed beastly eyes.
From the approaching moon, it sensed a supreme and chilling power originating from the very source of heaven and earth. This power made its powerful martial soul, which combined the killing intent of the White Tiger with the eeriness of the Netherworld, feel instinctively uneasy and threatened.
"Roar!"
There's no way to avoid it; the only option is to confront it head-on!
The Netherworld White Tiger let out a deafening roar, pushing the power of its fusion technique to its limit. Its body shone with a surge of platinum and dark light. Instead of retreating, it raised its giant claws, powerful enough to shatter mountains, and gathered all its energy to face the crushing silver moon wheel head-on.
The next moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two overwhelming forces collided with a deafening roar.
Rumble—!!!
An indescribable roar erupted, causing the entire arena to shake violently. The protective light barrier rippled violently, as if it might shatter at any moment!
At the center of the collision between the moon disc and the tiger's claw, blinding silver light and chaotic, dark platinum light intertwined, eroded, and annihilated each other!
The extreme cold and the violent killing intent clashed together, producing a hissing sound that made one's teeth ache.
After a brief stalemate, the Netherworld White Tiger pressed its claws firmly against the moon wheel, attempting to tear it apart.
As the moon revolved, endless lunar energy surged against the white tiger's body like a tidal wave. Extreme cold spread, freezing its energy claws and arms. The spiritual power it contained ignored physical defenses, like an invisible dagger, piercing deeply into the minds of Dai Linyu and Zhu Zhuyun.
"Crack..."
A faint cracking sound rang out, not from the moon wheel, but from the energy body of the Netherworld White Tiger.
Fine cracks began to appear on the parts of the Netherworld White Tiger that were frozen by the moonlight.
"No!"
A roar filled with resentment, a mixture of Dai Linyu's and Zhu Zhuyun's voices, emanated from the fused entity.
They couldn't believe that their once-proud Soul Fusion Technique would be destroyed by a Soul Master's fourth Soul Ring.
The moon's light intensified once more, and its rotation speed increased instantly.
Bang!
With a deafening roar, the massive energy fusion of the Netherworld White Tiger could no longer withstand the dual impact of the moonlight's corrosive power and the mental shock. Starting from its claws, it crumbled inch by inch, finally exploding with a bang.
A powerful energy storm swept around, tearing countless cracks into the arena floor.
Dai Linyu and Zhu Zhuyun were thrown backwards from the center of the explosion, their bodies spraying blood as they flew through the air.
The backlash from the forced breaking of their Martial Soul Fusion, coupled with the impact of the remaining power of the Moon Wheel, caused them to completely lose consciousness. They fell heavily to the ground like broken dolls, their energy extremely depleted.
The Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger, was directly defeated by Lin Wan's fourth Soul Skill, Nine-Tailed Moon Worship.
After destroying the Netherworld White Tiger, the silver moon wheel exhausted its power and slowly dissipated into the air.
Lin Wan stood alone in the center of the messy arena, his face slightly pale. He had been using high-consumption soul skills one after another, especially the last fourth soul skill, which had put a great strain on him.
The entire room fell silent.
A deathly silence descended upon the training ground.
The outcome is decided.
The referee took several deep breaths to barely suppress the shock in his heart, and announced loudly in a trembling voice: "The match is over! The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team wins!"
As soon as the referee finished speaking, a deafening roar of cheers erupted from the stands of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
They won! They actually won!
Despite almost everyone's skepticism, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy actually defeated the powerful Star Luo Royal Academy!
They broke their long-standing curse of failure!
"We won! We won!" Outside the arena, Yu Tianqing, who had been healed by the Soul Healer, shouted excitedly and hugged Ning Zetian tightly.
Yan Xin, Jiang Tao, and Ye Qing supported each other, their faces filled with unbelievable joy.
On the podium, the three education commissioners were so excited that they could hardly contain themselves, and Meng Shenji even stood up abruptly.
A complex light flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes, a mixture of surprise, admiration, and an indescribable solemnity.
This Lin Wan is far more terrifying than she imagined.
In stark contrast to the jubilation in Tiandou, the area where the Xingluo delegation was located was also filled with jubilation.
Zhu Tianlin's face was ashen. The slight joy he had felt from obtaining the elixir had vanished, replaced by an undisguised gloom and anger.
The veins on the back of his hand, resting on the armrest of his chair, were visibly prominent. This defeat was not merely a loss in an inter-college exchange competition, but also a blow to the reputation of the Star Luo Empire, especially since it came at a time when he had just reached a potential cooperation agreement with Ge Duo, making it all the more glaring.
Davis's face was equally grim. He stared intently at Lin Wan, who was the center of attention, his eyes filled with gloom.
"Let's go." Zhu Tianlin's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth. He stood up abruptly, not glancing at the arena again, and turned to leave.
Davis and the other members of the Star Luo delegation immediately followed suit. The group left in silence amidst a sea of celebration, their backs looking particularly stiff and awkward.
Zhu Tianlin's mind was in turmoil. He had to immediately send information back to the country and explain the unexpected failure to Emperor Dai Tianfeng.
Lin Wan's sudden emergence, his fourth ring of ten thousand years, and his strangely powerful combat strength must all be highlighted.
This defeat may disrupt some of the Empire's plans, but it may also make the Empire place greater emphasis on its cooperation with His Majesty Godot.
After all, only by gaining greater power can we cope with the variables that may arise in the future.
……
Inside the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, in the bedroom of the Snow Night Emperor.
Despite being unwell and unable to attend in person, Emperor Xueye kept track of the match through real-time messages from his trusted guards.
When the news of the victory of the Royal Academy of Heavenly Struggle arrived, a rare flush of excitement appeared on the pale face of this emperor who had long been troubled by illness and state affairs.
He couldn't help but burst into laughter, and even coughed a few times because of his excitement.
"Good! Good! Good!" Emperor Xueye said three times, his eyes shining with satisfaction and excitement.
"The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy has finally had its moment of triumph! What a Lin Wan! What a perpetual fourth-ring finisher! Queen Eva's cousin has truly given Heavenly Dou a tremendous surprise! Hahaha!"
This victory came at the perfect time, greatly boosting the morale of the Tiandou Empire and bringing glory to the emperor.
Chapter 113 The Undercurrents of Heavenly Struggle
Emperor Xueye has even begun to consider how to reward the Tiandou Team, especially Lin Wan, who made the greatest contribution.
Gold and silver treasures, titles and fiefdoms all seem rather cliché.
Given Lin Wan's extraordinary talent, and the mysterious young man from the Kingdom of Godot who seems to be behind him, how should he be rewarded in a way that would both demonstrate the Emperor's boundless grace and truly bind him firmly to the interests of the Empire?
This is something he needs to think about carefully.
However, the emperor, who had long lived in seclusion in the palace, was unaware that the impact of this victory went far beyond boosting morale and bringing him personal satisfaction.
Like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, it stirred up ripples in the seemingly stable power structure of Tiandou City, and began to subtly change the direction of the underwater currents.
Within Heaven Dou City, news of Lin Wan's miraculous turn of events spread like wildfire. Amidst the cheers and jubilation, many astute nobles, court officials, and even the heads of major Soul Master families began to involuntarily turn their gaze to the depths of that magnificent palace, to Queen Eva, whose influence had been growing day by day in recent years, and her daughter, Snow White.
It is common knowledge that Lin Wan is Queen Eva's cousin.
Queen Eva is not only deeply trusted by His Majesty and in charge of inner court affairs, but her daughter, Snow White, is also a once-in-a-century genius in the empire. She is born with full soul power and a mutated top-level martial soul. She became a Great Soul Master at the age of six, and her talent is rare in the world.
In the past, although Snow White was exceptionally gifted, she was still young and a princess. Although the imperial succession law did not explicitly exclude women, the millennia-old tradition had always revered men.
Therefore, most people are taking a wait-and-see approach, and the focus of investment remains on the young, energetic, and stable Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
But now, things seem to be a little different.
Lin Wan's sudden emergence was like a shot in the arm, allowing everyone to see the terrifying potential contained within the Eva lineage.
Lin Wan, whose talent rivals that of Snow White and is even more extraordinary in some aspects, is almost destined to reach the level of a Title Douluo.
A future Title Douluo, and such a young one at that, is enough to make any force reconsider its position.
Moreover, Queen Eva herself does not seem as simple as she appears on the surface. Her ability to maintain her position as queen and gradually seize some power when the emperor was in poor health demonstrates her skill.
Furthermore, her relationship with Her Majesty Gedo, who could concoct miraculous elixirs, seemed to be quite extraordinary.
All of this combined suddenly increased the weight of Eva and Snow White's forces on the power scales of the Heavenly Struggle Empire.
"Although Prince Xue Qinghe is good, his talent is not high, and his maternal family is not powerful."
Such whispers have begun to emerge in certain private circles.
