Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit.

Chapter 495 Wang Dong: "At Shrek Academy, you call me a loser, but outside, what do you call me?"

"Please send your team to the field as soon as possible. If you are more than one minute late, I will declare Shrek Academy the winner of the first match."

Zheng Zhan, who was in the center of the arena, was getting impatient. He frowned, wondering what the Haotian Sect was doing. It was not like them to be taking so long in a match.

Urged on relentlessly by Zheng Zhan, Wang Ya swallowed hard and slowly walked onto the competition stage, like a condemned prisoner stepping onto the execution ground. Her teammates from the Haotian Sect, led by Wang Zhen, immediately stood in awe and paid their respects.

After standing at the edge of the competition area, Wang Ya's mind raced, trying to figure out how to play the next match. The young sect leader was the apple of the sect's eye, and although she didn't know why she chose to dress as a man, she must have her own reasons.

Her young sect leader's strength was average, at least in her impression. Of course, average strength was only relative. Compared to the other normal disciples, the young sect leader's strength was already at the top.

Going all out is definitely not an option, as her martial soul is a specialized version of the Haotian Spear, which has too much attack power. However, she cannot simply admit defeat, as that would hurt the young sect leader's pride.

However, if the young sect leader's pride is hurt, he will definitely have a hard time in the future. Everyone in the sect, from the elders to the disciples, knows perfectly well whose surname the Haotian Sect is now under.

"So the answer is obvious: they threw the match! Just consider it playing house with the young sect leader."

Wang Ya thought to herself that she didn't want to be expelled from the Haotian Sect for stepping into Haotian Fortress with her left foot.

Zheng Zhan didn't care what either side was thinking; his job was simply to announce the start and end of the match and prevent any serious incidents from occurring during the game.

"Both players are in position. I hereby declare the first match of the second quarterfinal game, the Shrek Academy vs. the Clear Sky Sect individual combat tournament, open!"

As the sound faded, his figure vanished instantly, and cheers erupted from the audience and the stage, as if the interference caused by Poison Undying had never happened.

Wang Ya summoned the spear in her hand, and six soul rings—three purple and three black—swirled around her body.

Her first, third, and fourth spirit rings shone brightly at the same time. She first applied three major buffs to herself: penetration, attack, and defense. Even if she was just acting, she had to act seriously.

With a swift movement of her toes, Wang Ya transformed into a black shadow and attacked Wang Dong. The air around her was even split in two by the glint of her spear.

Wang Dong also activated her martial spirit at this moment, and a scorching aura swept across the entire area. Five spirit rings, one yellow, two purple, and two black, began to swirl around her. Her cultivation level was level 54, originally level 51, but after her martial spirit evolved, it increased by three levels.

A pair of sacred butterfly wings unfolded behind her, each wing adorned with a lifelike sun totem. Golden flames danced on the wings—sacred fire, possessing attributes of holiness, light, and fire.

A golden halo appeared behind his head, which even seemed somewhat divine, revealing the aura of a super martial soul.

Xiao Xiao and Dai Huabin from the Shrek Academy area stared wide-eyed; they were quite familiar with Wang Dong.

Xiao Xiao stammered, "Huh? Isn't it the Goddess of Light Butterfly? Something seems off."

Jiang Nannan, standing to the side, pondered, "Didn't he go to see his family a while ago? Did his family perform a second awakening on his martial soul?"

Xu Sanshi, who was leaning against Bei Bei in front, nodded confidently and said, "It's definitely a second awakening of the Martial Soul! I recognize this!"

"Good heavens, this aura... it must be a super martial soul!"

Beibei nudged Xu Sanshi in the waist and said, "Much stronger than you. Your Xuanwu Shield can't reach this level of strength."

Qian Renxue gave her quite a boost, transferring control of the Goddess of Light Butterfly from the Butterfly Goddess to her.

It's equivalent to a martial soul belonging to a second-level god jumping two levels to become a god king. The sun totem on the Sun Goddess Butterfly is a blessing from Qian Renxue, so its status is not low.

At this moment, Xu Tianzhen, who was in the VIP seat, felt his martial soul tremble and submit. It was highly likely that the Sun Martial Soul of the Sun and Moon Royal Family was just a fireball martial soul with the aura of the sun.

If it truly is a Sun Martial Soul, it should at least be the Ultimate Flame.

Facing the approaching black spearhead, Wang Dong did not panic. Although her cultivation level was much lower than Wang Ya's, she was not afraid of this level of pressure after undergoing that hellish training.

The first spirit ring began to shine, and the butterfly wings on both sides of the body lit up with golden light. The golden light quickly spread out, like two golden swords, with holy fire dancing on the blades.

At this moment, the butterfly wings displayed unimaginable agility, with one wing parrying the black spearhead, producing a clanging sound like metal clashing against stone.

Taking advantage of the recoil from Wang Ya, the other butterfly wing decisively pierced her chest. A surge of flames rushed towards her, and the sweat that had just seeped out was evaporated, leaving a white mark.

Wang Ya decisively slapped the gun handle, using the force to dodge to the side. The sacred fire only ignited a few strands of black hair, successfully causing the attack to miss.

The Haotian Spear returned to her hand. This brief exchange made Wang Ya realize that her young sect leader had become much stronger. There was no need to throw a match; they had to go all out.

The second soul skill shone brightly, and the fierce spear intent locked onto Wang Dong, ensuring that the subsequent attacks would not miss. As the fifth black soul ring shone, the soul skill called Overlord's Thorn provided a great boost. Black and red soul power wrapped around the spear, and a wisp of black light appeared at the tip of the spear—a spatial rift.

"Young Sect Master, be careful of the upcoming attacks!"

Wang Ya's face lit up with fervor. With her spear strapped to her back, she suddenly exerted force with her legs, leaving a trail of black light in the air. The spear tip tore through space, producing a sound like shattering glass that echoed throughout the entire arena.

As the black light drew closer, Wang Dong flapped his butterfly wings and soared into the sky. Meanwhile, a long spear slammed into the ground, leaving spiderweb-like cracks on the metal floor.

Seeing Wang Dong hovering in the air, a flying soul tool also appeared behind Wang Ya, transforming once again into a sharp black light piercing the dazzling sun in the sky.

The sacred guillotine transformed from the butterfly wings clashed with the spear once more, sparks flying in the air, but the spearhead, powerful enough to pierce through space, failed to break through the butterfly wings' defense.

Wang Ya clearly felt that the force of this strike was even greater.

"A messy cloak? Did they incorporate their skills into their wings? Impressive!"

The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique has always been just a skill, not limited to a hammer alone. After Na Ke Xia thoroughly understood the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, he redesigned the power application route to make this skill suitable for Butterfly Wing as well.

Wang Ya's spear was becoming more and more powerful with each strike, and she also knew how to incorporate the chaotic cloak into her spear techniques.

Two figures, one in black and one in gold, clashed fiercely in the sky, the force increasing until the eighty-first collision when the power finally ceased to grow.

At this moment, the power of both sides has reached the high-level Soul Saint level.

Wang Ya ran upwards along the soul-guided barrier, the tip of her spear scraping against the barrier, leaving a painful friction sound.

At the upper part of the barrier, she suddenly exerted force, her spear intent catching the dazzling figure rushing past below. The black spear suddenly thrust down, trying to pin Wang Dong to the ground.

Wang Dong's fifth spirit ring shone brightly, dodging the attack from above like a butterfly in flight, while the spear, having lost its target, sank deep into the ground.

Wang Ya's pupils contracted. Her second soul skill should have been absolute selection, so how could it have been dodged?

What puzzled her even more was that Wang Dong's speed suddenly increased, and his strength, which had already reached eighty-one layers, increased again.

"The fifth soul skill, Butterfly Dance, increases speed, strength, and defense after dodging an opponent's attack. The upper limit of the speed and strength increase depends on the user's soul power and stamina."

Xia saw that Beibei and the others were a little confused, so she explained.

Aglaia said with a smile, "So, you took her to the Mingdou Mountains last time for this?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this soul skill should be contracted with the rare Flame Phoenix Moth."

Xia snorted and waved his hand. Zi Guang was still staring at the competition stage. "To correct you, it is a variant of the Flame Phoenix Moth, the Golden-Patterned Phoenix Moth King. I don't know where this extinct soul beast came from."

There are many mutated soul beasts in the Mingdou Mountains, but the last time the Golden-Patterned Phoenix Moth Emperor achieved a self-attack record was three thousand years ago. The Butterfly Dance produced by the normal Flame Phoenix Tail Moth cannot increase speed.

Aglaia, you're an amateur. I seriously question whether you have the knowledge to be competent for the position of Dean of Students. If you really can't, you can step down and let someone more qualified take over.

"Oh? Professor Anaxagoras, are you so busy that you don't have time to keep track of personnel changes within the academy?"

A week ago, I was transferred to be the dean of the Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department. The former dean, Yan Shaozhe, took the initiative to join the inspection team and go to the front line of the Spirit Battle, determined to make the Sea God family pay the price.

As for the new head of student affairs, I haven't decided yet. You can try your best. I'm always magnanimous and don't hold grudges." Aglaia glanced at Xia, who looked like she had eaten poop, and felt quite pleased.

At that moment, Xia didn't want to say anything; he suddenly had the idea of ​​retiring.

Unaware of the unspoken message, Bai E confidently declared, "It's alright, Ms. Xia! I believe you can definitely become the next Dean of Students! You'll definitely impress Dean Aglaia!"

At that moment, Xia: —

'

"You still don't have enough homework."

Meanwhile, on the competition stage, Wang Ya and Wang Dong were still engaged in a tug-of-war.

Wang Ya seized the opportunity to unleash her soul power once more, using her flying soul tool to quickly approach Wang Dong. Then, she swung her spear like a dragon, the tip pointing directly at Wang Dong's chest.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to dodge at this distance. After Wang Dong's fifth spirit ring flashed, she dodged again in a way that would make a biologist weep.

So far, Wang Ya has launched more than ten attacks, each of which has been neutralized by Wang Dong's Butterfly Dance, with her strength and speed increasing more and more terrifyingly.

Originally, Wang Dong's cultivation was weaker than hers, but with the help of the eighty-one layers of the Chaotic Cloak and more than ten Butterfly Dances, his strength was clearly inferior to that of the young sect leader.

What kind of outrageous soul skill is this? It enhances one's three-dimensional attributes after dodging? It's practically her natural counter, because Wang Ya doesn't have any large-scale destructive skills, and single-target attacks just give Wang Dong a buff.

Somewhat unwilling, Wang Ya casually swung her spear, and a blade of air scraped out from the tip of the spear. As if a sensitive skin attack was going on, Wang Dong subconsciously danced in the air to dodge the attack, and his speed, strength, and defense increased dramatically once again.

Wang Ya: "——————"

"I'm out of ideas."

She sighed and decided to deliver the final blow. Her sixth spirit ring shone, and the spear trembled violently. The black and red spirit power dyed the spear extremely deep, and the black light at the tip of the spear became more and more obvious. If you looked closely, you could also see dense spatial cracks.

The sixth soul skill, Piercing Spear, although it was lost to Tiger Staff before, does not mean that this attack is weak. Even Long Aotian would never dare to withstand this attack head-on.

In her frenzy, she no longer cared about hurting the young sect leader. As the black and red energy wave tore through the earth, the airflow was drawn by her soul power and gathered in front of her body into a black spiral. The spiral shredded everything in its path, and even the light seemed to shatter.

The black spiral swept upwards like a tornado, with countless metal fragments transforming into the sharpest blades within it. Even a defensive Soul Emperor would be instantly torn apart within it.

Wang Ya's sixth soul skill was not originally presented in this form, but she could only launch an area attack in this way. It seemed powerful, but the use of soul power was quite inefficient.

Wang Dong spread his butterfly wings in the air. As his second soul ring shone, the sun totem on his butterfly wings seemed to come alive. The dazzling white light transformed into countless sharp swords that pierced the black tornado below.

With the help of the eighty-one layers of Chaotic Cloak and more than ten layers of Butterfly Dance, Wang Dong has surpassed Wang Ya in all attributes.

The tornado melted away like snow in spring under the white light, and a giant black hammer appeared in Wang Dong's hand before everyone's eyes.

Two more blazing white spirit rings have appeared out of the original five. These are divine spirit rings given to him by Qian Renxue in the past few days. He is truly an expensive stepfather.

While Wang Ya was completely bewildered, Wang Dong, whose momentum had reached its peak, suddenly swooped down. The shadow of the giant hammer enveloped her entire body, and even though she managed to hold her spear horizontally in front of her chest, she was unable to completely withstand the immense force.

The powerful shockwave sent her tumbling across the ground, crashing into the edge of the soul-guided barrier. She tried to stand up again, but she had no strength left in her body; the outcome was already decided.
