Under the effect of the Soul Impact, he was unable to continue using his Soul Skill and was thrown backward.
It was a pity that the power of the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron was not enough to severely injure him. His massive body immediately stood up the moment it touched the ground, then continued to fly into the air.
Huo Yuhao was startled. His Soul Impact, after striking Xie Huanyue's mind, was immediately blocked, and its attacking force was greatly reduced before it hit his brain. The remaining attacking force was only enough to make him dazed for a moment, a situation extremely similar to Ma Xiaotao when she was attacked by Huo Yuhao. This person's Martial Soul was unexpectedly difficult to deal with.
Wang Dong, through his Spiritual Detection, also sensed the increasing pressure on Huo Yuhao's side. Wang Dong's eyes flashed, and he forcefully flapped his wings, temporarily forcing back the two Luo brothers, then urged his Soul Power to use his second Soul Ring.
The Soul Skill Divine Light reappeared. Wang Dong, now supported by Spiritual Detection, had the ability to focus and lock onto his target with his Soul Skill. This strike would definitely not miss!
The Luo brothers' group did not have a Soul Master with wide-area auxiliary skills like Huo Yuhao, so their reactions were a bit slower. By the time both of them began to use their second Soul Skill, Wang Dong's Divine Light had already shot out.
The two Luo brothers created more than ten blade lights, attempting to block the Divine Light... but the disparity in Soul Power, Martial Soul, and Soul Rings between them and Wang Dong was not small. A golden light flashed, and the Divine Light unleashed its power, sending the two Luo brothers flying. Just as their Soul Skills were broken, the supervising teacher stepped into the center of the arena, caught their bodies, and immediately retreated... This situation indicated that the two Luo brothers were severely injured after enduring Wang Dong's attack and could no longer continue fighting.
At this moment, Wang Dong's judgment and attacking power were recognized by the teachers outside. Just as Wang Dong won, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao also received a full-force strike from Xie Huanyue.
If judged by the overall strength of the group, Xie Huanyue's group was still somewhat weaker than Ning Tian's group. The strength of the two Luo brothers still had a slight difference compared to Yu Wufeng and Nanmen Yun'er, but Xie Huanyue in the New Student class was rated even higher than Ning Tian by the teachers.
Xie Huanyue struck down from above, his two Soul Rings lighting up. Huo Yuhao continued to use Soul Impact to attack, and Xiao Xiao also split the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron into three large cauldrons to block Xie Huanyue. At this moment, their task was to buy time for Wang Dong to return and coordinate.
However, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection could only assist his teammates in knowing the opponent's direction, but it could not determine the opponent's Soul Skills.
While Xie Huanyue's body was still in the air, his second Soul Ring lit up, and his right hand suddenly chopped down. When Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Impact hit him, his right arm suddenly elongated, striking directly at the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron.
Xiao Xiao immediately used Cauldron Quake, but Xie Huanyue's arm this time was not affected by the large cauldron at all. His arm swept across, knocking away the three large cauldrons. His body in the air gradually descended, and at the same time, his arm, after knocking away the three large cauldrons, struck towards Xiao Xiao.
The duration of the Soul Impact's effect on him was extremely short. He accurately judged the moment the Soul Impact struck his mind and simultaneously used his Soul Skill to attack the opponent, creating a complete advantage.
Xiao Xiao, despite possessing twin Martial Souls, was very poor at close-quarters combat. As a Control Soul Master, she had very little experience in melee. When Xie Huan Yue's body descended from above, she was still in a daze.
Huo Yuhao immediately rushed from behind, wrapped his arms around Xiao Xiao's waist, and then instantly disappeared, evading an attack from Xie Huan Yue's arm and moving far away from Xie Huan Yue's body.
With a whoosh, Xie Huan Yue's massive body landed softly. This time, he didn't jump high again but instead rolled forward, closing in on Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao.
This was also when Wang Dong defeated the Luo brothers. Xie Huan Yue had already sensed the pressure from Wang Dong. If he couldn't take this opportunity to defeat Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao, his chances of victory would become slim.
His third Soul Ring lit up, and a purple light enveloped Xie Huan Yue's entire body. At this moment, Xie Huan Yue transformed into a giant purple rubber ball. He let out a low growl, his body becoming a purple aura that instantly closed in on Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao.
The event happened too quickly. Huo Yuhao, without hesitation, straightened his body. His hands, which were embracing Xiao Xiao's waist, gently lowered, then he forcefully tossed her into the air, out of Xie Huan Yue's attack range.
"Yuhao!"
"Huo Yuhao!"
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao shouted loudly. At this moment, the purple light struck Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao's body trembled, and rings of purple light ascended from his feet, covering his entire body. His body suddenly became motionless, and the Spiritual Detection Sharing disappeared.
A figure flashed. Before Xie Huan Yue could turn Huo Yuhao's body into minced meat, the supervising teacher appeared and pulled Huo Yuhao out.
Xie Huan Yue cursed under his breath. After all that effort, he only managed to defeat a Soul Master with a ten-year Soul Ring. The Soul Master with twin Martial Souls had escaped. It seemed this battle would still drag on! But Xie Huan Yue was still extremely confident. In his group, the Luo brothers were only meant to be a backdrop, while he was the main combat force. At this moment, even facing two Great Soul Masters, he was still seven-tenths sure of victory.
But when he looked up, he was immediately stunned. Xiao Xiao, after being tossed into the air by Huo Yuhao, had been caught by Wang Dong and was hovering in mid-air. At this moment, both their eyes were red, and Xie Huan Yue suddenly felt a surge of pressure.
"Wang Dong, put me down!"
Xiao Xiao's voice was as cold as ice. The usually lively and gentle girl was truly enraged now. Huo Yuhao had taken that extremely powerful blow for her without even considering whether the teachers would arrive in time. In that situation, if the supervising teacher had been even a moment late, Huo Yuhao would have been severely injured if not dead. Xiao Xiao was truly moved.
At this moment, she blamed herself, thinking that it was her carelessness that allowed Xie Huan Yue to get close, forcing Huo Yuhao to... just thinking about it, Xiao Xiao's fighting spirit completely erupted.
Wang Dong's wings closed, and he gently descended to the ground. He was even angrier than Xiao Xiao. Wang Dong's eyes stared intently at Xie Huan Yue. At this moment, only one thought was in Wang Dong's mind: this scoundrel dared to harm Huo Yuhao... I must kill him!
Xie Huan Yue did not immediately attack. His enormous body slowly approached Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. His first spirit ring had been continuously glowing, keeping his body in optimal condition. This was a characteristic of his own Martial Spirit. The Bear Beast Martial Spirit possessed extremely high defensive properties, but his cultivation goal was not limited to defense. He wanted to become a Defense-type Spirit Master and a Battle Spirit Master. At this moment, his cultivation method to achieve this goal was still very successful. He, along with Ning Tian and another new student, had become Spirit Venerables and also core disciples of the outer courtyard.
"Xiao Xiao, give me fifteen seconds!"
As soon as Wang Dong finished speaking, he immediately closed his eyes. Two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, lit up simultaneously. The two blue wings behind him began to flicker with golden light, and Wang Dong raised his hands, joining them with his wings.
Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously, then silently stepped forward to face Xie Huan Yue. The Nine Phoenixes Welcoming Flute appeared. Rings of emerald green light, centered on her, spread outwards with the sound of the jade flute.
The Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron transformed into three great cauldrons. The three great cauldrons separated into a triangular formation, protecting their master who stood in the center.
Xie Huan Yue snorted lightly. His body crouched down, then instantly shot towards Xiao Xiao. Although his speed was affected by the Nine Phoenixes Welcoming Flute at this moment, he believed that as long as he got close to Xiao Xiao and attacked with his body, he would win.
His second spirit ring also lit up. His right arm extended, preparing to strike away the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron.
But when he was about five meters from Xiao Xiao, the three great cauldrons suddenly flashed and slammed violently into each other in the middle. The two auxiliary spirit rings for the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron also lit up.
Any Spirit Master could combine spirit abilities for use, but how strong the combined spirit ability would be depended on the strength of that Spirit Master's Martial Spirit and the auxiliary properties of the spirit rings for the combined spirit ability.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao had used her strongest power!
National Heavy Weapon, Cauldron Shock.
The three cauldrons merged, creating a resounding explosion. A great cauldron, twice the original size, appeared. Strange symbols vaguely appeared on the great cauldron, and an imposing aura spread out with the sound…
Xie Huan Yue's arm, after striking the great cauldron, was immediately stuck to it. His entire body was also unable to move. Rings of black light continuously entered his body from the great cauldron. At this moment, Xie Huan Yue felt his entire body's spirit power rapidly draining away.
In his fear, he hastily urged his spirit power, wanting to use a thousand-year spirit ring ability, but found all his efforts were futile. At this moment, his body seemed to be fixed in one place. Not only could he not move, but he also could not unleash spirit abilities, could not retract the spirit ability he was using, and his spirit power was rapidly disappearing. The great cauldron opposite him, after enduring an extremely powerful blow, did not budge at all.
The Nine Phoenixes Welcoming Flute in Xiao Xiao's hand suddenly disappeared. The majestic great cauldron also gradually vanished. Rings of black light continuously entered her body, and her face grew paler and paler.
These two Soul Skills were fused by Xiao Xiao using a special method, so the consumption rate of her Soul Power was almost equivalent to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill! Earlier, when cooperating in battle with Huo Yuhao, she had already expended a considerable amount of Soul Power. At this moment, the Soul Power in Xiao Xiao's body was not much, but she still gritted her teeth and endured: fifteen seconds, no matter what, she had to maintain it for fifteen seconds!
Huo Yuhao had sacrificed himself to help Xiao Xiao escape, and at this moment, she was incredibly moved, completely integrating herself into her team. Although she was just a young girl, the passion in Xiao Xiao's heart surged: For the glory of the team, for my teammates, I too can sacrifice!
Fifteen seconds, fifteen seconds felt like an eternity at this moment.
Xie Huanyue originally had a Soul Power cultivation of thirty-two levels, far surpassing Xiao Xiao, but at this moment, he was truly terrified. Xiao Xiao's eyes were incredibly resolute, carrying a powerful belief. When looking into her eyes, Xie Huanyue was certain that even if she died, she would drag him down with her! It was just an assessment, had the opponent gone mad? Although he didn't know what method Xiao Xiao used to make him unable to move, he was certain of one thing: the opponent could not go against the rules of Martial Souls: the greater the power, the greater the consumption.
Every second slowly passed...
The supervising teacher was very worried at this moment, wondering whether to stop the match... if it stopped, how would they determine the winner and loser? Huo Yuhao had already woken up at this moment. Through his Martial Soul Spirit Eyes, he could clearly see that Xiao Xiao was already exhausted!
"Xiao Xiao, that's enough... stop!"
Huo Yuhao shouted. Even if the team had to lose, he didn't want his teammates to get hurt!
After hearing Huo Yuhao's shout, Xiao Xiao bit her lip even tighter, and the black halo around her shone even brighter.
In an instant, Huo Yuhao was moved by Xiao Xiao's determined gaze. Not just him, Elder Xuan, who was chewing on a chicken leg in the stands, also looked at Xiao Xiao in surprise and nodded slightly.
Five, four, three, two, one...
The fifteenth second passed, a golden light pillar appeared behind Xiao Xiao, the Radiant Goddess Butterfly appeared, Wang Dong's two blue wings had now turned golden and slowly ascended along the light pillar. After Wang Dong's body flew high, the golden light pillar gradually transformed and turned into an enormous crescent blade.
In an instant, the air in the arena seemed to be torn apart, and the Soul Power throughout the entire arena fluctuated violently.
Seeing that enormous blade light, Xie Huanyue was immediately terrified. Even though his defensive power was incredibly strong, he dared not block this attack!
The supervising teacher no longer hesitated at this moment. His body flashed and he entered the arena. While pulling Xie Huanyue away, this teacher was slightly startled because he himself was affected by Xiao Xiao's Soul Skill and was unable to move for a moment! At this moment, that terrifying blade light had already arrived, and the supervising teacher, who had a Soul Emperor cultivation, was even pressed by the blade light to the point of breathlessness!
Unbelievable, this was just a freshman assessment! After a moment of shock, this teacher wanted to unleash his Martial Soul to resist, but it was already too late. With no other choice, the teacher moved Xie Huanyue behind him and used his own body to take the blow.
Just then, an enormous suction force suddenly came from the sky. The blade light, which was about to collide with the teacher's body, was suddenly sucked straight up into the air by the suction force.
Then, a large hand appeared in the sky again. Red flames flashed from the hand, catching the blade light. With a whoosh, the hand gently clenched, crushing the blade light.
Elder Xuan chewed on a chicken leg and mumbled, "Ao Erliang's chicken leg today is a bit salty..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lightly walked away.
The National Heavy Qi Cauldron completely disappeared, and Xiao Xiao also fell unconscious.
The Goddess of Light Butterfly also vanished. Wang Dong struggled to stand, looking towards the supervising teacher. "We... won...!"
After managing to utter those four words, Wang Dong's body could no longer bear it and he collapsed, unconscious.
"Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao!" Huo Yuhao ran frantically onto the arena, embracing his two teammates.
Xie Huanyue's body had returned to normal, but his uniform was now drenched in sweat. Earlier, he had felt that Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao truly wanted to kill him, yet he couldn't escape. At this moment, Xie Huanyue's entire body was trembling; Xiao Xiao's gaze from before had been deeply etched into his mind.
The teachers observing the match were all silent. None of them cared about announcing the end of the match or watching other assessment battles.
All the teachers had not taken the strength of Huo Yuhao's and Xie Huanyue's groups seriously. To become a teacher at Shrek Academy, they had to at least reach the Soul Emperor level. What truly terrified the teachers was the belief and persistence of Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. Wang Dong was merely exhausted and temporarily fainted. Xiao Xiao, however, was completely different; her body was utterly depleted and could not recover in a short time.
