Chapter 151 Dropping Out of School and the Star Luo Assembly
Chapter 151 Laughing at the Mortal World: Can't Win at All? I Don't Understand!
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly as he looked at the strange giant sword.
Huo Yuhao is currently only a level six soul master, and he's self-taught at that. But this thing in front of him is definitely level seven or higher; it's a soul tool that Huo Yuhao has never encountered before.
"Awaken, Sword of Judgment."
Ma Rulong roared and poured his soul power into the giant sword without reservation. Intense golden light flashed from the sword, and beams of light continuously shot into the air. Even Ma Rulong himself became more powerful under its influence.
Huo Yuhao did not interrupt Ma Rulong's spellcasting, which showed his complete confidence in his own strength.
We've already taken down evil Soul Masters at the Contra level, so why would we be afraid of a Soul Emperor?
And the giant sword that was shining with golden light also began to change.
Starting from the hilt, the golden light quickly receded, and the spine of the sword gradually turned black and white.
These two contrasting colors, within their own radiant golden light, possess a somewhat eerie quality, yet they also flow naturally, as if forming a unified whole.
So that's how it is. Huo Yuhao's expression became somewhat strange.
However, this combination of light and darkness is not so easy to control. First of all, one's mental strength must be up to par. Don't be fooled by the fact that Ma Rulong is a Soul Emperor. His mental strength is not that strong. He was able to forcefully activate such a soul tool. It seems that he used some other method.
Just as Huo Yuhao had predicted, this Sword of Judgment was a combination of darkness and light, an eighth-level soul tool, which was almost the strongest among close-combat soul tools. Ma Rulong was just a Soul Emperor and didn't have any special advantages, so it was naturally not easy for him to use this soul tool.
At this moment, behind Ma Rulong, the level seven soul guidance array called the Chapter of Sacrifice was flashing on his back. Using Ma Rulong's own life force and potential as a sacrifice, a dense blood flame was burning, enhancing Ma Rulong's spiritual power and soul power to support the needs of the Sword of Judgment. It can be said to be the trump card that Mingde Hall gave him.
Ma Rulong's cultivation level will not be able to improve for the next year—but if this price can be paid to win this competition, Ma Rulong feels it is worth it.
This sword of judgment cannot be used against Soul Masters with Light or Dark Martial Souls, but against Soul Masters of other attributes, it can use Dark Power to merge into their bodies and then use the powerful Light attribute to judge the opponent.
Baptized in the absolute opposition of light and darkness, it can instantly disintegrate the opponent's cultivation and even completely destroy them.
This sword strike was prepared for Ma Xiaotao, a descendant of Ma Hongjun, the Phoenix God from ten thousand years ago. The weaknesses of the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul are no secret in Douluo Continent.
Ma Rulong swept the Sword of Judgment around, shattering the lightning prison that had previously bound him, and then turned the white side of the blade toward Ma Xiaotao.
He didn't choose to attack Huo Yuhao, but instead targeted Ma Xiaotao, the strongest fighter on the battlefield. At the same time, he activated his level six toughness barrier soul tool to protect himself from Huo Yuhao's next attack.
Although it's unclear why Ma Xiaotao unleashed such powerful dark energy, it doesn't matter. Attacking her with the power of light will be just as devastating, no matter how strong Ma Xiaotao is. The clash between light and darkness will be enough to give her a hard time.
"Light, judgment!"
Suddenly, a white light flashed in the air and disappeared, and the powerful light even purified a large area of the dark flames that had surrounded Ma Xiaotao.
—Missed.
Because no one knew when, Huo Yuhao appeared in front of the sword light and took the blow head-on. The white light flashed for a moment before merging into his body.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he charged towards Ma Rulong, wielding the Explainer.
The Light attribute isn't very effective against any attribute other than Dark, that must be it! That's right.
Ma Rulong advised himself in his heart, then suppressed his ominous feelings and pointed the black spine of the Sword of Judgment at Huo Yuhao.
"They are darkness, and heresy is condemned."
The black sword light, carrying a gloomy, dark power, shot out and landed on Huo Yuhao.
It doesn't matter whether darkness or light comes first. As long as a Soul Master isn't a light or dark attribute Soul Master, they won't get any advantage in front of the Sword of Judgment!
but----
"Clang!"
A sharp sound rang out—Ma Rulong felt a sudden weight in his hand as Huo Yuhao, holding the sword with one hand, struck the thick spine of the Sword of Judgment, sending sparks flying as he slicing through inch by inch.
"This is impossible! How could you be completely unharmed!"
Ma Rulong desperately raised the Sword of Judgment to block Huo Yuhao's strike, but he was still suppressed by Huo Yuhao with one hand and slowly knelt down on the ground.
He clearly saw that the two forces of light and darkness that had landed on Huo Yuhao were slowly disappearing—no, they should be said to be being absorbed by Huo Yuhao's body.
Huo Yuhao shrugged. "Well, I'm really sorry for all the trouble you went through with your attack—by the way, can you admit defeat now?"
Ma Rulong then realized that the Sword of Judgment had already been cut halfway into the black sword in Huo Yuhao's hand, the blade aimed directly at his neck. With just a little more force, this precious level-eight soul tool would be destroyed.
"Ma Rulong is out!"
A flash of yellow light disappeared in an instant; it was the Heavenly Fiend Douluo who had rescued Ma Rulong from Huo Yuhao's sword.
Even when Ma Rulong sat back down in the rest area of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, he was still in a daze.
Looking at Ma Rulong, who was questioning his existence, and the teacher in charge of the team below the stage, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched a couple of times. He was actually quite embarrassed.
In fact, if it were any other member of the Shrek team, they would have suffered a great loss from Ma Rulong's move just now.
But ironically, while he was on the field, Ma Rulong's sword actually replenished his soul power.
I wonder if this counts as an unfair victory —
At the same time, a pair of ice-blue longswords appeared in Meng Hongchen's hands. Simultaneously, ice-blue light orbs emerged from thirteen parts of her body—her forehead, shoulders, chest, elbows, abdomen, hips, knees, and hands—transforming into an exquisite suit of armor that protected Meng Hongchen's entire body.
Meng Hongchen's aura instantly surged under the amplification of this armor, almost reaching the level of a Soul Emperor.
This team battle is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's last chance, and they must win! Even if it means revealing their trump card, Meng Hongchen crossed his swords to block Ma Xiaotao's powerful kick, but he was forced back several steps before regaining his footing.
Not all of Xiao Hongchen's soul-guided cannons were blocked by Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Fire Line; many still headed straight for Ma Xiaotao.
However, Ma Xiaotao's attack was also very useful. She didn't expect to block all of Xiao Hongchen's attacks with this one move. Her purpose was just to set fire to Xiao Hongchen's surroundings to increase the temperature.
The flames shattered by the soul-guided light bullet scattered, causing the surrounding temperature to rise again. As a result, Xiao Hongchen had to abandon part of the soul-guided cannon barrel around him, which reduced the amount of soul power storm he released.
In the blink of an eye, Ma Xiaotao was engulfed by the soul power storm released by Xiao Hongchen.
Xiao Hongchen waved his hand excitedly, "Success!"
The referee, Tian Sha Douluo, was about to step forward to help, but he seemed to sense something, and his lips twitched speechlessly. He looked at the Sun and Moon Team with more pity in his eyes.
The surrounding darkness receded and dissipated, and the dark phoenix that had previously ravaged the entire area seemed to have vanished without a trace.
Before the smoke had completely dissipated, a lifelike golden-red phoenix burst forth from the smoke, its dazzling phoenix feathers fluttering as it charged toward the Hongchen siblings with intense heat and flames.
Ma Xiaotao smiled gently as she exited the Dark Phoenix form, looking at the faded golden shard in her hand with a mix of emotions.
I was so stupid, so incredibly stupid. I knew how useful soul tools were, so why did I refuse them so much before?
However, the Hongchen siblings and other members of the Sun and Moon team had a harder time facing this golden-red fiery phoenix.
This phoenix was created by Ma Xiaotao by combining the two soul ring skills, Phoenix Cloud Piercing Strike and Phoenix Meteor Shower, with the soul bone skill Phoenix Burst Strike from her left arm. It is an inner courtyard secret technique of Shrek Academy.
She called it: Fiery Phoenix Dance.
With her invincible shield protecting her from Xiao Hongchen's concentrated soul-guided cannon fire, and with the addition of the Flaming Phoenix Dance that compressed multiple soul skills, Ma Xiaotao's soul power was actually almost depleted.
But she was already very satisfied with the result; the victory in this team fight was practically in her grasp.
Feeling the terrifying heat that was almost enough to vaporize him, a hint of fear inevitably appeared on Xiao Hongchen's proud face.
It's unstoppable, absolutely unstoppable!
The members of the Shrek team retreated to break free from the entanglement with the Sun and Moon team members and avoid being hit by the phoenix flames.
In the end, it was Tian Sha Douluo who helped the Sun Moon Team block the attack. Compared to a Title Douluo, Ma Xiaotao's move was not enough.
Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, announced loudly: "Shrek Academy wins the team battle of the semi-finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. Both sides will have ten minutes to rest. After ten minutes, the individual elimination rounds will begin. At the same time, both sides should decide on the seven players to participate in the elimination rounds. Once decided, they cannot be changed."
The audience erupted in cheers.
Compared to the foreign Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy was clearly more popular among the people of Star Luo, not to mention that Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao were both very good-looking.
Looking at the Sun Moon Team members, who were exhausted and injured, Old Ma then looked at Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao, who were using baby bottles to recover their soul power.
Even the strongest Ma Rulong used the Sword of Judgment, and he was already severely injured.
There is absolutely no hope of winning in individual matches.
As for Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen—these two ancestors were just here to gain prestige; how could we dare to let them really risk their lives?
Old Ma tried to keep his tone light, "Kids, you've done your best. We can't possibly beat Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao in a one-on-one fight. Give up—"
Xiao Hongchen stubbornly shook his head, his gaze towards the Shrek team filled with anger and fighting spirit.
Xiao Hongchen has always been considered the greatest genius in the history of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and even the Sun Moon Empire.
He is an excellent level 5 Soul Master and a powerful Soul Master, and he has perfectly combined the two. Xiao Hongchen is confident that he is no weaker than any of his peers!
But what was the result? He didn't even manage to turn the tide and defeat Shrek, and he came down in such a pathetic way!
"No way to win? I don't understand!"
After saying that, Xiao Hongchen turned and walked towards the arena.
Old Ma was so frightened that he grabbed him: "Xiao Hongchen! Don't forget what you mean to the academy and the empire. If something really happens to you, how am I supposed to explain to the hall master!"
Xiao Hongchen angrily broke free from Ma Lao's hand: "I don't need your explanation! If I really die on the competition stage, my sister will help me go back and explain to Grandpa. Anyway, I don't care, I'm going to play no matter what. If you don't let me play, then you can get out of here and go home, don't stay in Mingde Hall."
"you----"
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Hongchen's grandfather, the head of his sect, was behind him, Old Ma really wouldn't want to deal with this arrogant and disdainful brat.
Fine, let Huo Yuhao teach you a lesson!
Old Ma flicked his sleeve and said, "Fine! Remember what you said! Don't embarrass yourself!"
The first person to appear from Shrek Academy's side was naturally Huo Yuhao, as had been agreed upon beforehand.
After the referee announced the start of the match, Huo Yuhao did not immediately release his martial soul and soul rings, but instead slowly spoke.
"You still want to keep fighting? If you calm down, you should realize that the best thing to do now is to admit defeat."
Xiao Hongchen said coldly, "The competition isn't for you to talk trash!"
"I don't understand. Is the outcome of a battle really worth your attention? There are clearly many other things in a battle besides winning or losing that you should care about."
Xiao Hongchen said impatiently, "Are you going to fight or not? What exactly do you want to say?!"
Huo Yuhao opened his palm. "I told you what I wanted to tell you when we first met, but it's obvious you didn't listen—so today I'll ask you properly, what exactly are you proud of? Or rather, what is there to be proud of?"
Xiao Hongchen was taken aback by the question.
"The head of Mingde Hall is your grandfather, and it's even possible that you will be the future head of Mingde Hall—but I still don't understand, what's the point of you always acting like you're the most important person in the world?"
"You may be more talented and have a better background than others, but do you really think that you were able to cultivate to the Soul King level before the age of 15 because of your own talent?"
Xiao Hongchen's expression darkened.
"No. It's just that your background is better than your teammates', and you have more resources. If you put them in the same environment, they are not necessarily weaker than you."
"Cultivating the Tao begins with cultivating the mind." This was the first thing Baili Du told Huo Yuhao when he embarked on the path of a Soul Master.
Xiao Hongchen has serious problems. His arrogance has made him forget who he is. He's fine as long as things go smoothly, but what if he loses—
Having finally found such an opponent, Huo Yuhao didn't want this guy to completely lose his fighting spirit after losing just this once.
Xiao Hongchen remained defiant, "What? Are you jealous?"
Huo Yuhao looked at him with disdain and snorted, "If you don't change your arrogant personality, even if you train for another ten thousand years, you will never be able to beat me. Because you can't beat yourself."

"You talk too much nonsense!"
With 108 soul-guided cannons at his feet, Xiao Hongchen stepped back to create distance!
The battle ended quickly. About a minute later, Xiao Hongchen was lying on the ground, unable to get up. Deep purple lightning snakes slithered all over his body, and he twitched from time to time.
Metals conduct electricity, let alone lightning at its most extreme.
Xiao Hongchen's painstakingly crafted mental defense soul tool was useless, because Huo Yuhao didn't even use the Spirit Eye's soul skill.
Huo Yuhao kicked Xiao Hongchen so hard he flipped over, then raised his booted foot and contemptuously stepped on his head, bringing him into close contact with the competition stage.
Meng Hongchen, who was off the field, ran over, pressed her against the protective shield, and called out worriedly.
"elder brother----"
Huo Yuhao wore a mocking smile. "Do you believe me now?"
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Xiao Hongchen had never suffered such an ultimate humiliation! He raised his hand to the ground, trying hard to stand up. No one had ever stepped on his head before!
But Huo Yuhao's strength was terrifying; no matter how hard Xiao Hongchen tried, he couldn't move him an inch.
Looking at Xiao Hongchen struggling at his feet, Huo Yuhao shook his head and crushed Xiao Hongchen's head hard. "You may be a worthy opponent, but you don't understand yourself at all. So in my eyes, you're just a roadside weed."
"Be my opponent? You're not worthy."
Then he released his foot from Xiao Hongchen's head and kicked him down contemptuously.
This method is very insulting, but if Xiao Hongchen wants to go further, he needs to be dealt a severe blow.
