Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

In an instant, Long Aotian and Jin Ni's figures vanished, and a golden divine figure ten meters tall appeared in their place.

He was a majestic war god, clad in golden dragon-scale armor, wielding an axe in his right hand and a spear in his left, with a golden dragon coiled around his body. His entire being radiated a dazzling golden light that dared not be looked at directly, exuding an overbearing dragon's might that surpassed all others. His vertical pupils, like golden suns, held a cold indifference that disdained all living beings as he looked down upon his opponents, who were as insignificant as ants.

The moment this golden mad dragon martial god appeared, an absolute suppressive force originating from the depths of their bloodlines caused everyone present to skip a beat. Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen felt their souls tremble. Their proud martial souls instinctively submitted and were filled with fear in the face of this domineering dragon might, even causing their soul power to stagnate.

"Golden Mad Dragon Martial God!" This was Long Aotian and Jin Ni's first Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which combined the powerful human blood and qi of the Martial God Body with the ultimate power and destructive force of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul.

"break."

The Golden Dragon Martial God uttered a single word, his voice not loud, yet it resonated like a great bell, carrying an undeniable sense of judgment. He simply raised the Heaven-Destroying Axe and the Golden Dragon Spear in his hands, and the surrounding space groaned in unbearable agony, as if even the void itself was about to be crushed by this extreme divine power.

Faced with the overwhelming storm of icy metal from Red Dust's Affection, the Golden Mad Dragon Martial God didn't even bother to glance at it. Its massive body stood directly in front of the storm, like an insurmountable golden barrier. Then, its thick arm, seemingly cast from pure gold, swung violently, unleashing a burst of axe light and spear light simultaneously. Golden dragon flames instantly transformed into a monstrous wave, tearing through the air and surging forth with earth-shattering force, crashing fiercely into Red Dust's icy metal storm!

"Golden Mad Dragon Martial God" versus "Red Dust Attachment", Martial Soul Fusion Skill versus Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Boom!"

The extreme dragon flames collided fiercely with the storm of ice, fire, poison, and gold. There was no evenly matched contest. Faced with the overwhelming power of the Golden Mad Dragon Martial God, the Red Dust Attachment crumbled instantly.

The dark gold axe light and the golden spear light forcefully tore through the golden and silver storm, carrying an unparalleled domineering force that directly pushed Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen back nearly a hundred meters! Their martial soul fusion skill was instantly broken, and the brother and sister turned pale, blood gushing from their mouths and noses, and they were no longer able to fight back.

The Golden Mad Dragon Martial God unleashed two more attacks filled with destructive power, instantly extinguishing the Soul Guidance Cannon.

Meanwhile, Vi Huang unleashed his full Vajra Divine Power, his fists striking out like cannonballs, sending Mika and Chen Fei, who were attempting to flank him, flying. Ye Bilin's Azure Phosphorous Poison Meteor transformed into a massive net of deadly poison, trapping Xiao Xiafeng and Lin Xi in place, the paralysis and poison rendering them unable to concentrate on controlling their soul tools.

With the defeat of Xiao Hongchen and his sister, and Ma Rulong being held back by Jiang Peng and Shi Kun at the cost of serious injury, the Sun and Moon Team's formation completely collapsed.

Long Aotian, in his golden form as the Mad Dragon Martial God, took a step forward, his Heaven-Destroying Axe and Golden Dragon Spear hovering above Ma Rulong's head with a judgmental aura.

Seeing his fallen teammates and the invincible Golden Dragon Martial God, the madness in Ma Rulong's eyes finally faded, replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness and bitterness. The light of the Judgment Sword in his hand dissipated, and he collapsed to the ground.

"We...lost."

At that moment, the entire arena fell silent, then erupted in thunderous applause and cheers, celebrating the Imperial Academy.

The Heavenly Fiend Douluo flashed and instantly appeared in the center of the Soul Battle Arena.

He first gave a deep look at the Golden Mad Dragon Martial God, who exuded terrifying pressure, then swept his gaze over the members of the Sun Moon Team, and announced in a deep voice: "Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy Captain Ma Rulong overexerted himself by using an eighth-level soul tool, and core members Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen had their Martial Soul Fusion Skill forcibly broken. The entire team is now incapacitated. This referee has confirmed that the Sun Moon Team can no longer participate in the competition. Do you wish to concede defeat?"

Although they were unwilling to accept it, the facts were undeniable, and there was nothing they could do. The coach of the Sun and Moon team announced to the referee: "The Sun and Moon team concedes defeat. The subsequent one-on-one elimination matches are no longer necessary!"

After hearing this, Tian Sha Douluo officially announced: "In this semi-final, Di'ao Academy will face Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Di'ao Academy will win and advance to the final."

As soon as the words were spoken, the students of Di'ao Academy erupted in cheers. Although Jiang Peng and Shi Kun were seriously injured and lying on the ground, they wore victorious smiles on their faces. Vina rushed to the scene to treat them, and Ye Bilin and Hua Qinglian also hugged each other excitedly.

On the other hand, the atmosphere on the Sun and Moon team's side was deathly silent. Ma Rulong slumped to the ground, his eyes vacant; Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were pale, the backlash from the forced breaking of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill was causing them unbearable pain; the other team members were also dejected, their morale completely gone.

"Let's go." Ma Rulong struggled to his feet and, with the help of his teammates, slowly walked off the fighting platform. His back was filled with loneliness and resentment.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the siblings, were equally unable to accept it, and their resentment was written all over their faces.

This time, it was not only their shame, but also the shame of the Sun Moon Empire. They aimed to defeat Shrek Academy and become the champion, but they were defeated in the semi-finals. They don't know what kind of punishment the empire and the academy will punish them when they return to the Sun Moon Empire, or what kind of criticism they will face from the people.

The Imperial Academy proved itself with its strength in this battle.

They not only defeated the powerful Sun and Moon team, but also demonstrated unparalleled teamwork and tenacious fighting spirit.

Jiang Peng and Shi Kun's selfless act of holding off their enemies, Long Aotian and Jin Ni's first display of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Golden Mad Dragon Martial God—and the team's seamless teamwork all became classic moments of the match.

With the Sun and Moon team's surrender, Di'ao Academy has secured at least a top-two finish in this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

After the match between Shrek Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy is completed, Di'ao Academy will face the winner of that semi-final to compete for the championship title.

Next up is the semi-final match between Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy. The Shrek team consists of Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong.

Meanwhile, Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy finally made her appearance. She was a five-ring Soul King, and her Martial Soul was the Star Crown, the inherited Martial Soul of the current Star Luo Empire royal family. Her teammates were Huang Heyun, a Dark Demon Tiger, a powerful attack-type Soul Master; Dugu Shangshan, a Netherworld Mad Lion, a powerful attack-type Soul Master; Yi Chen and Wang Shiying, dual-element control-type Soul Masters of Wind and Fire; Chen Xiaojie, a Lightning Falcon, a fast attack-type Soul Master; and Sheng Yi, a Giant Winged Eagle, a defensive-type Soul Master.
