Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 161 Clash between Martial Soul Fusion Techniques!

While the conversation was lively on stage, the battle on the field had already begun.

Huo Yuhao and his two companions fought against Dai Huabin and his two companions with a feeling of evenly matched strength. Wang Dong faced Dai Huabin, Huo Yuhao faced Cui Yajie, and Xiao Xiao faced Zhu Lu. They were all able to hold their own and defend against each other.

Zhu Ziyang finally witnessed the Goddess of Light Butterfly and couldn't help but exclaim that it truly deserved to be called one of the most beautiful beast spirits. Behind Wang Dong, a pair of blue butterfly wings spread out, the colors at the ends of the forewings constantly changing from dark blue, azure, to light blue, the entire wing surface like a string of bright halos inlaid in the blue sky, forming a V shape, bringing light to the world.

Its shape and color are incomparably beautiful and impeccable. The entire wing surface is like white waves surging on a blue sea. Its color and pattern are very spectacular, in shades of purple-blue. The entire wing surface is like a string of bright halos inlaid in the blue sky, sometimes deep blue, sometimes azure, and sometimes light blue. The white Manchu characters on the wings are like inlaid jewels, shining brightly and very charming.

With such magnificent wings, it truly deserves the title of the most beautiful butterfly.

However, Zhu Ziyang was more interested in Wang Dong's spirit rings, one yellow and one purple! Sure enough, the successor of the Clear Sky Sect was not simple. His second spirit ring was a thousand years old. This was the first spirit master he had seen besides himself with a thousand-year-old second spirit ring.

Wang Dong held his own against Dai Huabin in a head-on confrontation, and even subtly suppressed his opponent by taking advantage of the Light Goddess Butterfly's ability to fly. This surprised Du Weilun, who had high hopes for Dai Huabin's team.

The battle between Xiao Xiao and Zhu Lu was a true contest of equals. Zhu Lu was the eldest daughter of the Zhu family in the Star Luo Empire, and Dai Huabin's fiancée. Her martial soul was the Spirit Cat, a typical agility-based soul master. Although Xiao Xiao's soul power was lower than Zhu Lu's, she was a control-based soul master who was a natural counter to agility-based attacks. Furthermore, both of their martial souls were typical control-type martial souls, making Xiao Xiao's soul skills very annoying for Zhu Lu, preventing her from fully utilizing the advantages of her agility-based attacks.

As for Huo Yuhao and Cui Yajie, there was absolutely no suspense. Huo Yuhao, as the chosen one, how could he possibly be suppressed? Cui Yajie's martial soul, the Nine-Tailed Fox, although also a spirit-based martial soul, held no advantage over Huo Yuhao, who possessed a pure spirit-based martial soul, except for her soul power level. From Zhu Ziyang's perspective, Huo Yuhao's eyes merely lit up, and then Cui Yajie froze for a second; her first soul ring abruptly stopped, a sign that her soul skill casting had been interrupted.

Zhu Ziyang looked curious. He wanted to know how Huo Yuhao had interrupted Cui Yajie's soul skill. Was it a soul skill? If so, what was it?

The situation on the field suddenly changed. In order to avoid Wang Dong's attack, Dai Huabin, who was fighting against Wang Dong, suddenly retreated, exposing Cui Yajie behind him to Wang Dong. Wang Dong seized the opportunity and directly released his second soul skill, attacking Dai Huabin and Cui Yajie with all his might. Knowing that she could not dodge, Cui Yajie actually used her second soul skill directly on Huo Yuhao, wanting to perish together with Huo Yuhao.

Just as the referee was about to intervene and save Huo Yuhao and Cui Yajie, Huo Yuhao suddenly dodged Cui Yajie's attack with an extremely strange movement, while Cui Yajie was rescued by the referee in time and left the arena.

On Dai Huabin's side, one person was lost.

After enduring Wang Dong's second soul skill, Dai Huabin was furious. He never expected that he, a dignified Soul Master, would be suppressed by a Great Soul Master. This was unacceptable to him, who was proud by nature, so he directly released his third soul skill.

In his White Tiger Vajra form, Dai Huabin surprisingly took on two opponents at once, overwhelming Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. Initially, Dai Huabin managed to threaten Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong with brief bursts of energy, but the two coordinated perfectly, and through several defensive counterattacks, they managed to outmaneuver Dai Huabin's offensive, gradually turning the tide and seizing the initiative.

After gaining the upper hand, Wang Dong unleashed his second soul skill again. Blue lasers erupted from the butterfly wings and poured towards Dai Huabin. Dai Huabin hurriedly counterattacked, suddenly releasing his second soul skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, which collided with Wang Dong's second soul skill.

One was poised to strike, the other hastily prepared; a Great Soul Master's all-out attack, a Soul Venerable's hurried counterattack—the two soul skills collided. Amidst the terrifying roar, Wang Dong soared into the air, his wings unfurling, easily dissipating the impact. Dai Huabin, however, fared much worse. His knees sank into the ground, his upper body arching backward, his entire body radiating golden light. The White Tiger Vajra Transformation had suffered a tremendous shock.

The current situation seems quite clear: Dai Huabin is outnumbered and suppressed by Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, while Zhu Lu cannot defeat Xiao Xiao in the short term, resulting in a stalemate. However, Huo Yuhao's team has a clear advantage with three against two. As long as they can stall for time and deplete their soul power, they will be able to achieve final victory.

Dai Huabin launched several counterattacks, but each time Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong used their agile tactics to repel them. Not only did he fail to defeat the two, but he also sustained more injuries. He finally realized that he could no longer think like this, so he decided to stop hiding and roared, "If you have the guts, then let's meet head-on!"

A hint of disdain crept across Wang Dong's lips as he sneered, "Do you even know what tactics are? You're supposed to be the son of the White Tiger Duke, and you don't even understand tactics? You're a complete waste."

Dai Huabin's eyes flashed with a fierce light, burning with rage, but he did not attack again. Instead, he did something that puzzled Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong: he deactivated the White Tiger Vajra Transformation and immediately ran towards Zhu Lu.

Seeing this, Zhu Lu also abandoned Xiao Xiao without hesitation and ran towards Dai Huabin.

The actions of the two puzzled Huo Yuhao and his two companions, but Zhu Ziyang in the stands already understood Dai Huabin and his companion's purpose.

"It's here! The legendary symbol of the Star Luo Empire, the Netherworld White Tiger!" Qian Duoduo and Cai Meier both looked solemn as they spoke at the same time.

Although the White Tiger Dai family is no longer the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, the Netherworld White Tiger remains the universally recognized imperial totem of the Star Luo Empire! This is because the White Tiger Dai family ruled the Star Luo Empire for nearly ten thousand years, and the most prosperous period of the Star Luo Empire was achieved under the rule of the Dai family.

As Huo Yuhao watched Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu about to reunite, he suddenly felt a strong pang of fear. He immediately realized their purpose and exclaimed, "Are they going to use a Martial Soul Fusion Technique?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, who had joined Huo Yuhao, also showed solemn expressions. They had encountered Soul Masters with Martial Soul Fusion Skills before and understood the power of Martial Soul Fusion Skills.

As Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu embraced, black and white energy waves appeared and disappeared, and a giant white tiger, over two meters tall and over eight meters long, appeared on the field. The white tiger was completely transparent, with white fur and black stripes, and purple eyes, its gaze coldly fixed on Huo Yuhao and his companions.

After the Netherworld White Tiger appeared, it pounced on Huo Yuhao and his companions without hesitation, carrying a terrifying aura that seemed to devour people. Faced with the unstoppable Netherworld White Tiger, Huo Yuhao and his companions did something that left the teachers in the stands somewhat bewildered.

Xiao Xiao stood alone, blocking the path of the Netherworld White Tiger. The petite girl looked utterly helpless and pitiful in the face of the enormous tiger. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, mimicking Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu from before, also clung tightly to each other.

This scene amused everyone. What were they doing? Were they trying to imitate someone else's Martial Soul Fusion Technique? But is Martial Soul Fusion Technique so easy to acquire? It was utterly ridiculous.

The referee is ready to help at any time.

Zhu Ziyang's eyes widened as he watched Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's actions; he seemed to have already foreseen the outcome. A female teacher, Zhou Yi, the homeroom teacher of Class 1 of the freshmen, shared the same thought, a slight smile playing on her lips.

After Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong embraced, their figures disappeared before the shocked eyes of the teachers. In their place appeared a huge eye that emitted blue, gold and purple light. The moment the eye appeared, it shot out a dazzling and terrifying beam of light, meeting the paw of the Netherworld White Tiger!

Xiao Xiao was fortunate enough to face the fusion of two martial souls.

The referee saved Xiao Xiao from the stage in time; otherwise, the collision of the two martial soul fusion skills would have been enough to crush her into ashes.

Cai Meier and Qian Duoduo couldn't sit still any longer and jumped to their feet, staring at the scene in disbelief. It was hard to imagine that they would witness a duel between two martial soul fusion techniques during the freshman assessment.

As the collision between the Netherworld White Tiger and the giant eye ended, the stage finally calmed down, revealing five figures: Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who were exhausted; Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, who were also exhausted; and Du Weilun, who had taken two martial soul fusion techniques head-on.

Du Weiren was in a rather disheveled state, with eight spirit rings swirling around him, but his entire body had turned golden, and five more claw marks appeared on his back. In front of him, a trench thirty meters long and about half a meter deep shimmered with a dazzling golden luster, sparkling brilliantly under the sunlight.

He was disheveled, but also pleasantly surprised.

The result of the match is already quite obvious.

Everyone in the stands could see that if Du Weilun hadn't intervened in time to block the two Martial Soul Fusion Techniques, the outcome of this freshman assessment would have been two deaths and two serious injuries! Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu would have died, while Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong would have been seriously injured!

The freshman assessment has come to a close, and the first championship team in Shrek Academy's history to have a one-ring Soul Master has emerged.

"I never expected that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong could actually use a Spirit Fusion Technique!" Jiang Nannan exclaimed. "They probably didn't know each other before, but in just three months, they've developed a close enough relationship to perform a Spirit Fusion Technique. It seems they're truly destined for each other!"

As someone who possesses a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Jiang Nannan is well aware of how difficult it is to form one. You see, she and Zhang Lexuan have known each other for over three years, and they've only just managed to form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

"Hehe! Indeed!" Zhu Ziyang nodded in agreement, but in his heart, Electrolux's words stirred up a huge storm!
