Chapter 629 Shrek's Crushing Defeat
Huo Wu's fourth soul skill has a locking effect.
The blazing ball of light detached from the hands of the illusory fire shadow behind Huo Wu, and in the instant it floated out, Tang San's aura was completely locked.
Tang San, who was locked on, could clearly feel his body suddenly becoming sluggish.
It was as if that blazing ball of light, which fell like the sun, not only emitted intense light and heat but also possessed an infinite attraction, greatly affecting his ability to move.
There's no escaping it.
The moment it was activated, the dazzling sun had completely locked onto Tang San's body, and its speed was so fast that even the fastest agility-type soul master would not be able to escape.
Of course, if Tang San had chosen to abandon Xiao Wu a second before the fireball landed and then tried his best to escape, there would have been a sliver of a chance to escape the central area covered by the blazing fireball.
But it was only a tiny bit.
However, Tang San obviously did not do that. After all, he loved Xiao Wu deeply and passionately, and he couldn't bring himself to run away alone.
For some reason, instead of placing Xiao Wu behind him to shield himself from all attacks, he held her tightly to his chest, as if he were terrified, and the two of them faced Huo Wu's skills together.
Was Tang San really scared out of his wits?
of course not.
The moment he was locked onto by the blazing orb, he realized that it was too late to escape, and he couldn't dodge either.
As the blazing white ball of fire hurtled toward him and Xiao Wu, it seemed that all he could do now was to tough it out.
In such a critical moment, Tang San quickly recalled all the skills he possessed.
It turned out that the only thing that could contend with that blazing ball of light seemed to be the final strike of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, stacked up to eighty-one strikes.
However, it is clearly no longer feasible to switch martial souls now and charge up the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
There isn't enough time.
The opponent is unlikely to give him a chance.
After much thought, Tang San could only hope that his Blue Silver Grass martial soul was powerful enough to help him and Xiao Wu block out that terrifying sun.
"First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Entanglement!"
Tang San gave up on escaping, didn't even make any further attempts, and didn't call for his teammates to come to his rescue. Holding Xiao Wu's body, he simply made a simple movement.
That was to activate the simplest soul skill he possessed.
As most of his soul power flowed into the Blue Silver Grass martial soul in his right palm, the first soul ring skill, Blue Silver Entanglement, was activated.
Since this is his first soul skill, it is definitely the fastest to use.
In an instant, hundreds and thousands of purplish-black Blue Silver Grasses with seven strange ring-shaped bamboo joints grew wildly around Tang San's body and swarmed out.
These Blue Silver Grasses were not intended to launch an attack, nor to control or restrict the opponent, but rather to provide Tang San with defense.
The fine blue silver grass quietly enveloped Tang San's body and quickly coiled around him, layer upon layer, until it instantly formed a huge purplish-black cocoon, or rather, a sphere.
This purplish-black sphere was extremely large, even more than twice the size of Huo Wu's fourth soul skill.
When Tang San finished doing all this, the terrifying sun hanging above Huo Wu's head, at her command, transformed into a streak of light and suddenly bombarded him.
The blazing ball of light flew at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it had already reached the top of Tang San's head and then crashed down with a bang.
Everyone only saw the first spirit ring on Tang San's body flash and the Blue Silver Grass wrap around him for a moment before his body was completely engulfed by the incandescent sunlight.
boom--
The instant the blazing white flame orb made contact with the purplish-black sphere, a burst of intense fire-attribute energy erupted, accompanied by a fleeting, blinding white light.
Immediately following was a deafening roar.
A violent shockwave suddenly formed, sweeping outwards from the point where the blazing light sphere exploded—the location where Tang San and Xiao Wu were—into all directions.
As the blazing ball of light, resembling the sun, completely engulfed Tang San and Xiao Wu, the rest of the Shrek Seven Devils finally reacted.
The moment the blazing orb exploded, Yu Tianheng, Dai Mubai, and the others all changed their expressions drastically.
In that extremely dangerous moment, Yu Tianheng quickly recovered from his shock and hurriedly pushed all the remaining soul power in his body to its limit, condensing a thick blue soul power shield in front of him.
Dai Mubai let out a fierce roar and hurriedly unleashed his first soul skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier. At the same time, he boosted the defensive amplification of White Tiger Vajra Transformation to its maximum, his body swelled and grew taller, assuming the strongest defensive posture.
Ignoring his bleeding injuries, Ma Hongjun scrambled and rolled his round body toward the edge of the arena.
He didn't have the strength of Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai, nor did he have any powerful defensive soul skills. Apart from turning around and jumping off the arena, he had no other way to avoid the explosion.
The substitute Soul Master lying on the ground was now powerless to fight. He couldn't even move and could only watch helplessly as the violent aftershocks of the explosion rushed towards him.
Ning Rongrong, who was holding the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her hands, seemed to be in a daze at this moment.
Her beautiful, emerald-green eyes widened in horror as she watched the violent explosion unfold before her. Forgetting that the shockwave was equally formidable, she stood there dumbfounded, neither dodging nor evading, making no attempt to defend herself.
Of course, she was only a physically weak support-type Soul Master, so neither dodging nor organizing a defense was of any use.
They absolutely cannot withstand the upcoming shockwave.
Below the competition arena.
The blazing ball of light, as bright as the sun, landed right in the center of the Shrek Seven Devils' formation.
Huo Wushuang and the others from the Blazing Fire Academy who had jumped off the stage visibly breathed a sigh of relief, revealing expressions of immense relief, while their eyes also held a hint of pity.
Of course, the former was glad that he ran fast, while the latter was expressing his condolences for the Shrek Seven Devils and others.
…………
When the aftershocks of the explosion subsided and the white light disappeared.
Looking around, on the huge main battle arena, only Huo Wu was still standing.
As for the Shrek Seven Devils, apart from the little princess who was protected by someone, the rest of them all fell to the ground. Some suffered minor injuries, others were half-dead, and still others looked as if they had been roasted alive.
Huo Wu stood there quietly, her whole body enveloped in a thin, veil-like layer of fiery red soul power, unaffected by the explosion of the blazing light sphere.
Her burgundy dress was completely free of wrinkles and not even a speck of dust.
She calmly gazed at the Shrek Seven Devils members, who were almost all lying on the ground not far in front of her, looking down on her defeated opponents like an invincible queen.
At this moment, the entire arena was shattered into pieces, and the Shrek Seven Devils members lay scattered among the ruins.
In the center of the arena, a large area had been melted by the exploding sun. The only intact spot was where Tang San and Xiao Wu were, which was the epicenter of the explosion.
There, on a still intact pillar, with a round top about half a meter in diameter, stood a dark, oval cocoon.
When the outermost black membrane of the cocoon fell off, turned into dust and dissipated into the air, Tang San and Xiao Wu were finally revealed inside.
But the two of them were clearly in very bad shape.
Tang San's skin was now completely red, like a boiled shrimp, and he sat motionless, embracing Xiao Wu.
Huo Wu's fourth soul skill, Fiery Dance of the Sun, is no joke.
With the ultimate fire and the Fusion Ring's enhancement, Tang San, who lacked the external soul bone Eight Spider Lances and fire immunity, was simply no match for it.
If Huo Wu hadn't held back, Tang San would probably have been sent to his death right then and there.
However, even at this moment, Tang San had not lost consciousness. His eyes were wide open, staring intently at Huo Wu opposite him, his eyes filled with resentment, anger, hatred, and confusion.
Upon discovering that Tang San was still conscious, Huo Wu smiled slightly, not surprised at all, because this was the result of her deliberately holding back.
Then, Huo Wu slightly raised her chin, a hint of arrogance appearing on her pretty face, and met Tang San's gaze, which was filled with complex emotions, as she spoke calmly:
"How incredibly naive! You actually chose to use Blue Silver Grass to block my skill. Don't you know Blue Silver Grass is afraid of fire?"
Huo Wu shook her head as she spoke, her voice filled with disdain and contempt:
All I can say is, you're nothing special.
Upon hearing this, Tang San seemed to have suffered a tremendous blow. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with intense resentment, and then fainted.
Blood splattered everywhere, landing on Xiao Wu in Tang San's arms. However, the rogue rabbit had already lost consciousness and showed no reaction.
Xiao Wu's injuries were actually more severe than Tang San's.
Her skin was completely black, even showing signs of charring, like an overcooked rabbit, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Despite having Tang San's protection, she was inevitably more seriously injured because she had taken a direct hit from Huo Wu Yao Yang.
Aside from Tang San and Xiao Wu, the most seriously injured member of the Shrek Seven Devils was the substitute member who was just there to make up the numbers, followed by Ma Hongjun, and then Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng.
Each of the four had burns of varying degrees.
Ma Hongjun and the substitute player suffered particularly severe injuries, collapsing to the ground and losing consciousness, as they were the two weakest players.
Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng, on the other hand, were not seriously injured because they possessed the strength of a Soul Master of level 40 or above and reacted quickly. At least they could get up, but their soul power was exhausted, and they obviously had no strength to fight again.
As for Ning Rongrong...
With Sword Douluo protecting him, how could he possibly get hurt?
The instant after Huo Wu Yao Yang exploded, Jian Douluo appeared beside Ning Rongrong, shielding her from the shockwave and taking her off the arena.
…………
wow——
As soon as the dust settled, the audience erupted in cheers.
Various opinions arose one after another. Those who supported Blazing Academy cheered, while those who supported Shrek Seven Devils shouted angrily.
But that couldn't change the outcome of the match.
In the eleventh match of the twelfth round of the preliminary rounds, the victory belonged to Blazing Academy.
In fact, from beginning to end, Blazing Fire Academy never regarded the Shrek Seven Devils as true opponents.
The members of the Blazing Academy team knew very well that with Huo Wu, a terrifying level 53 Soul King, taking action, the Shrek Seven Devils had absolutely no chance of winning.
Huo Wu's formidable strength brought this match to a close.
Even if the Shrek Seven Devils had other abilities they hadn't yet used, it was already too late.
The moment Huo Wu unleashed her fourth soul skill, Huo Wu Yao Yang, the match was already over.
There is virtually no chance of the seven members of the Shrek Seven Devils team escaping unscathed unless external forces intervene.
However, according to the rules of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, if any side needs external intervention to rescue someone during the competition, it will be considered to have automatically conceded defeat.
The match is over.
It ended without any suspense.
"The mistress—"
"Rongrong—"
Two shouts rang out almost simultaneously from the spectator area below the arena.
The first voice came from the master Yu Xiaogang, and the second voice came from Oscar.
When the arena finally quieted down, Yu Xiaogang rushed onto the stage without a care in the world and headed straight for Tang San's location.
Oscar also rushed out, but unlike the others, he headed in the direction where Ning Rongrong was.
However, before Oscar could run onto the ring, two figures, one old and one young, suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
In a moment of panic, Oscar slammed on the brakes, making a screeching "screech" sound.
Upon closer inspection, they discovered it was Ning Rongrong, and she appeared completely unharmed.
Oscar felt a sense of relief and was about to take the opportunity to give Ning Rongrong a loving hug, but then he saw the sharp-eyed Sword Douluo next to Ning Rongrong and almost wet his pants in fright.
"Mistress, mistress, wake up, wake up! How could you be so cruel?"
Yu Xiaogang only cared about Tang San's life or death. He took three steps at a time and quickly stepped onto the arena. He came to Tang San and Xiao Wu's side and was heartbroken when he saw their miserable state.
He had a premonition that the Shrek Seven Devils might lose the match against Blazing Fire Academy, but he never expected them to lose so badly.
The other party was too ruthless, roasting his beloved disciple into this grotesque state. He's already cooked, you can smell the meat.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang was instantly filled with rage, and for a moment he lost his temper. He turned to the still bewildered referee and roared angrily:
"Referee, I want to file a complaint."
"They weren't competing; they were killing people. They violated the rules of the game. I demand a loss for them."
