Douluo Continent: The Cataclysm of the Dead - Huo Yuhao

While inwardly cursing, Tian Sha Douluo dared not be careless in the slightest.

He knew that if he continued to be careless, the consequences would be unimaginable if more people died.

It seems that Jing Hongchen is really going to have to get restless.

Jing Hongchen, her face pale, glanced at Huo Yuhao and sighed.

He finally understood why Huo Yuhao had repeatedly emphasized during the battle meeting that they must be extremely careful of Ma Xiaotao.

At first, Jing Hongchen thought that Huo Yuhao had known or was familiar with the other party before. But no matter what, the other party was only a Soul Emperor, so his combat strength was probably just so-so.

As it turned out, the sheer terror of that outburst was something only a true Soul Saint could possess.

In the current Sun Moon Empire, when it comes to the explosive potential of the younger generation, even Ji Juechen is probably somewhat inferior.

Before Ma Xiaotao could retaliate, she was met with a barrage of attacks from Xiao Hongchen.

The pressure from the 128 soul-guided cannons landing on her was immense.

In addition, Ma Rulong was restricting her, and her opponent with a fire spirit was also keeping her in check.

Even though her phoenix flames have now turned black, her combat power has expanded, or rather, her strength has not truly entered that realm.

Despite her constant dodging, most of the artillery fire still consumed a significant amount of her soul power, with a considerable portion even landing on the other side of Shrek Academy.

Xiao Xiafeng bombarded them relentlessly.

Dai Yueheng could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Under these circumstances, Ma Xiaotao's soul power was being consumed at an alarming rate.

It's no exaggeration to say that if this continues, their soul power might be completely depleted.

After this round of bombardment ended, Ma Xiaotao finally showed signs of fatigue for the first time. Or rather, she could feel that her rationality was gradually being completely devoured, and the evil fire within her even felt like it was consuming her.

In addition, her soul power had been significantly depleted, so she had to muster some of her strength to resist the complete erosion of this evil fire.

Under such circumstances, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

But at this moment, someone who had been holding back for so long finally gave up on defending himself.

"White Tiger Annihilation Strike!"

A massive cross, brimming with killing intent, appeared out of thin air—it was Dai Yueheng, moving with almost ghostly speed.

He rushed in front of the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and unleashed his sixth soul skill.

At the same time that Ma Rulong glanced over with a slight hint of favoritism or fear, Ma Xiaotao also seized the opportunity.

"Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

In the blink of an eye, the sixth soul skill condensed a black flame meteor shower.

The terrifying burst of power forced the opponent to activate their invincible shield even if they reacted and defended in time.

Fortunately, as a wide-range soul skill, this time, to be precise, the burst of power was not frighteningly strong. The invincible shield finally lasted for a second before it stopped.

Even so, it is still terrifying enough.

This also means that they have already used up most of their means of survival.

Most importantly, Dai Yueheng's fierce attack just now had almost depleted his soul power.

However, this also forced out the creation of two invincible shields.

Under these circumstances, Ma Rulong was well aware of what would happen if the fight continued.

Given the terrifying corrosive power of Ma Xiaotao's black flames, his teammates might once again face mortal danger.

This time, with no one to help her suppress her evil fire, Ma Xiaotao's mind was filled with only one thought: to win.

Under these circumstances, Ma Xiaotao seemed to still want to continue heading towards the main force.

Ultimately, after a brief period of deep thought, Ma Rulong had to acknowledge a reality: their assessment of Ma Xiaotao had been far too low.

But none of this surprised Huo Yuhao. In the original timeline, even with the calmness buff, the opponent still managed to shatter the invincible shields of four people.

This time, without its support, Ma Xiaotao's terrifying combat power was finally unleashed.

"Referee, we concede!"

As Teacher Ma finished speaking, Ma Rulong, the team leader, could only give a wry smile. In the end, he didn't need to say those words himself.

The faces of the others, however, were still filled with resentment.

Even after he stepped down, he was still desperately trying to explain himself.

But Teacher Ma simply looked at these people and coldly reprimanded them:

“Your lives are equally important. I have ways to deal with that monster on the other side. If that madwoman goes berserk again after losing our last invincible shield, do you really think you can turn the tide of this match by risking your lives?”

This statement successfully silenced everyone participating in the team competition.

Mika's death is also still fresh in our minds.

Huo Yuhao's feelings at this moment were extremely complicated.

Although he successfully prevented Lin Xi and Chen Fei from dying, he inadvertently led one of them down that path.

On the other side, after the Shrek members stepped down from the stage...

Elder Xuan practically flashed off the stage, using the domineering soul power within him to suppress the black flames within Ma Xiaotao's body and observe her current state, while speaking in a deep voice.

“You can’t play in the next match. The evil fire in your body is about to explode, and I can foresee that this explosion will likely be the most terrifying time in your life when you are dominated by evil fire. How long will it last? What will the result be? I can’t guarantee anything.”

Chapter 158 Individual Competition Begins!

At this moment, Xuanzi could sense that although Ma Xiaotao still had her rationality, she had been eroded by the evil fire and was on the verge of collapse.

Furthermore, the evil fire within his body had been suppressed by a power of equal quality for a long time.

Driven by Ma Xiaotao's desire, or rather obsession, to win.

The suppressed evil fire within the body seemed to have found an outlet.

Or rather, the suppressed evil fire is not becoming more intense, but rather it has already shown signs of transformation.

In this situation, if Ma Xiaotao loses control of her anger again...

What will be the result?

It might be a martial spirit, something that will be permanently left behind, and even Ma Xiaotao herself might be affected.

Naturally, Xuanzi couldn't just sit idly by, after all, this was Yan Shaozhe's disciple.

Furthermore, since Shao Zhe was also Master Mu's disciple, it is evident how much importance he placed on him.

The extent to which he attaches importance to this is evident.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao immediately became anxious. While enduring the pain, she gritted her teeth and spoke.

"Elder Xuan, I can still go on stage. I feel that I can still barely suppress the evil fire."

"No way! What if something happens to you? How am I supposed to explain this?"

While cursing, Xuanzi was also really afraid that something else might happen. After all, he had already had an accident while leading the team this time, and it would be troublesome if another accident occurred.

He could very well face fasting; the possibility is so high that he wouldn't dare gamble on it.

At this moment, Wang Yan walked over and slowly spoke.

"Xiao Tao, we've already won the team competition, now it's up to us. We just need to win this individual competition."

After a brief silence, Ma Xiaotao nodded in response to Wang Yan's words.

After all, Shrek Academy also has some trump cards up their sleeve. If they go all in on the individual tournament, winning shouldn't be too difficult.

But in reality, Wang Yan himself wasn't very confident, since the other party still seemed to have two mysterious trump cards up their sleeve.

He said this only to appease Ma Xiaotao.

After this short break, the individual competition is about to begin.

Just as Wang Yan was about to let Bei Bei go on stage, a deep voice suddenly rang out.

"Teacher Wang, let me do it!"

At this moment, Xu Sanshi was suppressing his anger and staring at Wang Yan with an almost obstinate look. Seeing Xu Sanshi's current state reminded Wang Yan of the scene when Xu Sanshi fought against Zheng Tian Academy. After a brief thought, Wang Yan nodded.

Xu Sanshi simply jumped onto the ring.

Huo Yuhao felt a sense of foreboding. Seeing Chen Fei preparing to go on stage, he quickly said, "Um, remember to use the Barrier of Resilience as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Fei looked on with a somewhat incredulous expression.

There was no way around it; after all, Xu Sanshi was only a Soul Master in the previous investigation, and a defensive one at that, while he was a level 5 Soul Master specializing in agility and attack.

Huo Yuhao was also somewhat powerless for a moment. After all, he knew all too well that Xu Sanshi in this state was capable of evolving his martial soul. Not only did he already have the ability to contend with a Soul King, but if the opponent used Xuanwu Descent, Chen Fei would very likely become a corpse.

Chen Fei is very likely to become a corpse.

From Shrek's perspective, he didn't see anything wrong with it before, after all, it was just something Xu Sanshi did to protect Jiang Nannan, but looking at it now...

That's a bit too bizarre, even a little disgusting.

Ultimately, this is a competition, not a life-or-death gamble. Just because someone injured your wife doesn't mean you should demand their life in return.

What kind of logic is this?

After a brief moment of shock, Chen Fei couldn't help but make a joke.

"Yuhao, you might be being a little too sensitive, aren't you?"

“I found out in ancient books that after this guy’s martial spirit reverts to this state, he might have some kind of killing move.”

"So, you need to be careful."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's earnest explanation, Chen Fei was somewhat surprised. Teacher Ma's face was also filled with uncertainty, after all, in terms of research on martial souls, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was naturally not considered very strong. After a brief struggle, Teacher Ma finally threw out a resilient barrier as well.

Anyway, let Chen Fei lead it for now. It would be best if nothing unexpected happened. If we encounter a strong opponent, we can use it then.

But if a student dies, then they are truly dead.

Those who can become members of the Sun Moon Royal Academy, or more precisely, those who can become regular members of the four royal academies in this continental elite soul master competition, can be said to be geniuses among geniuses.

He naturally didn't want to see such a loss of talent.
