Chapter 164 A Prestige Lasted for Millennia Collapses in One Dynasty
Chapter 164 A Prestige Built Over a Year Collapses in an Instant
riot!
An unprecedented riot!
A riot even more intense than the opening match!
Shrek Academy, which has always been regarded by the people as the last hope of Douluo Continent, actually harbored the crown prince of an enemy country!
The Heavenly Soul Empire's investigation materials regarding Xu He's identity are already very clear.
From the moment Long Aotian met Xu He as an exchange student, the results of each investigation were clearly documented in black and white!
Shrek Academy simply cannot deny it!
Angry crowds have already attempted to rush onto the stage and tear apart Xu He, who is being held captive by Su Tong.
They were the families of martyrs who fought in the skirmishes with the Sun Moon Empire, their eyes bloodshot, wishing they could tear their loved ones to pieces.
Shrek Academy! Give us an explanation!
"My father died in the Mingdou Mountains, why are you protecting the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire!"
"Have you ever considered how we orphans feel?!"
It wasn't just the Shrek team off the stage who panicked.
The members of the Sun and Moon team have gone completely mad.
Now that the crown princes of two dynasties are on the same stage, what should they do?
Should we save Xu He?
If they are not rescued, the political stance of these people will be questioned by the audience present.
The Sun and Moon Empire made it clear that the previous royal family died from food poisoning, and the current emperor, as the only prince, had no choice but to ascend the throne and assume the reins of power.
Now that the Crown Prince, who survived food poisoning, has returned, the members of the Sun and Moon Team remain indifferent. Doesn't this confirm the scandal of infighting within the Xu family?
But if we save him, how will we face Xu Tianran when we get back?
Their whole family has placed all their hopes on Xu Tianran.
Now, suddenly a clean-cut former crown prince has appeared, who has been biding his time at Shrek Academy. How are they supposed to put themselves in this situation?
Shrek Academy is not only prestigious in the Douluo Continent, but also in the Sun Moon Empire.
An undercover prince returning from Shrek Academy will naturally have a following.
If he is saved, Xu Tianran's political enemies will seize the opportunity to launch a major reshuffle within the Sun Moon Empire.
If they don't help, their reputation among the people will be completely ruined.
Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming's faces were terribly gloomy.
The Sun Moon Empire has been plagued by frequent uprisings recently, and if a former crown prince were to return, it would only create more chaos.
But if we don't rescue him and let Xu He be torn apart by the angry people of the Three Kingdoms, then the uprisings among the people of the Sun and Moon will only become more difficult to deal with!
The rebel army will definitely raise the slogan "Kill the tyrant and restore the country!"
The former emperor's reputation among the people is excellent!
Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Save them!"
"All members of the Sun and Moon Team, heed my command! Rescue Prince He with all your might!"
Saving Xu He now would at least preserve the reputation of the Sun Moon Empire among the people.
Otherwise, if Xu He dies at the hands of the people of Douluo Continent, the morale of the Sun Moon Empire will completely collapse!
Whether it's Xu He or Xu Tianran, they are both of the Xu family bloodline.
No matter how they sit on the throne, it will always belong to their family!
As for the ensuing turmoil, we can only wait and see how things unfold after Xu He returns to the capital.
In an instant, the entire Sun and Moon team unleashed their power!
Soul-guided cannons, soul-guided shields, and soul-guided rays were unleashed in a frenzy, attempting to carve a bloody path through the crowd!
However, the Di'ao team, which had remained silent until now, also made a move at this moment.
Jiang Peng laughed heartily, brandishing his Heaven-Shaking Axe: "Emperor's Team One! Charge with me! Kill Xu He!"
Without hesitation, he used his self-created soul skill, the Eighteen Heaven-Shaking Slashes, to meet Ma Rulong, the captain of the Sun and Moon Team.
Since the Azure Dragon Guard emerged, Jiang Peng renamed his Eighteen Dragon-Slaying Slashes to the Eighteen Heaven-Shaking Slashes.
At the same time, Jiang Peng's sixth soul ring lit up, and the Dark Demon Zhen Tian was activated. Combined with the Zhen Tian Axe that had already been swung eighteen times in the air, the ground beneath Ma Rulong's feet suddenly shattered, and intense black flames shot out from the ground!
Ma Rulong hurriedly activated his invincible shield to block Jiang Peng's strongest attack.
Su Tong had already lifted the restrictions on Xu He, and turned around to charge towards the Sun and Moon Team together with the Azure Dragon Guard.
This is no longer a competition, it's a war!
Only Tianmeng remained by Xu He's side, but she concealed her form using her soul skill.
He was talking to Xu He.
"Xu He," Tianmeng gently coaxed with her mental power, "is Shrek Academy more important, or is your blood feud more important?"
"Your identity has been confirmed. Why don't you just go back to China with the Sun and Moon Team and take back everything you have?"
The entire Xingluo Square descended into complete chaos!
The battles aren't just taking place on the competition stage; the same is true in the audience!
The audience of Douluo Three Kingdoms unleashed their martial spirits and roared as they charged toward the Sun Moon Soul Masters who were trying to rescue Xu He.
Undying from the poison, Tiankong revealed a smug smile as he faced Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming.
Yu Longtu unleashed the true form of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, coiling around Poison Undying and letting out a dragon roar that shook the heavens.
Then the four of them suddenly collided!
Du Busi and Yu Longtu did not launch a full-scale attack, but instead gave Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming a chance to take Xu He away.
The effect of a living Xu He is far greater than that of a dead Xu He.
Xue Di floated on the arena, blocking the attacks of the Sun and Moon Team members, and landed on Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao's side.
Behind the members of the Sun and Moon Squad, countless cannons appeared, relentlessly bombarding the front line.
However, the six members of the Di'ao Team and the Azure Dragon Guard joined forces to create a protective shield, pouring out their soul power without regard to cost to resist their attack.
The waterfall surged forth, flames filled the sky, thunder roared, and the sky collapsed and the earth caved in.
Su Tong raised her hand and unleashed a snow-white chain, which shot straight toward Zhu Qingbing Meng Hongchen.
Meng Hongchen was terrified and hurriedly used his teleportation ring to dodge Su Tong's chains.
Gu Mingxi raised her hand and summoned the Golden Dragon Spear, having Yu Tianlong imbue it with black lightning, before striking Xiao Hongchen's invincible shield hard.
Seeing that Xiao Hongchen's invincible shield was about to shatter under Gu Mingxi's frenzied attacks, Jing Hongchen in the sky broke free from the Jade Dragon Diagram and threw a soul-guided cannonball at Gu Mingxi.
Di Tian's pupils instantly transformed into dragon eyes.
He yelled, "Get out!"
A hundred-meter-long dragon wing spread out behind him, blotting out the sky and directly knocking away Jing Hongchen's soul-guided cannonball, which then exploded in the sky!
Xuanzi was pinned down by Di Tian and had no chance to move.
Brigitte raised her hand and showered down a shower of emerald-colored light, promptly healing the injured members of the Imperial Team and the Azure Dragon Guard.
Xuanzi's eyes trembled as he looked at Ma Xiaotao, whose body was already engulfed in black flames, and he prayed frantically in his heart.
If Ma Xiaotao were to undergo a transformation at this moment, then the news about Long Xiaoyao would be completely confirmed.
From the start of the competition until now, Long Xiaoyao has never given an explanation for the gossip.
Later, some viewers even connected the attack by the evil spirit master with Long Xiaoyao's protection of Qian Duoduo on his way to Seagod Island.
If Ma Xiaotao were to undergo another mutation at this point, Shrek Academy would truly be doomed.
"Xiao Tao, you must calm down."
Tears welled up in Xuanzi's eyes: "As long as you don't become alienated, we can still explain what happened with He Caitou."
"Shrek Academy's last hope rests entirely on you."
At the same time, no one knows exactly what words Tianmeng used, but he actually managed to persuade Xu He.
Xu He, who had been resigned to death, looked at the cigar in his hand and then threw it on the ground.
A brilliant sun appeared behind him, rising slowly!
After seeing Xu He use his Sun Martial Soul, the fighting in various places intensified!
The Sun Martial Soul, the inherited martial soul of the Sun and Moon royal family!
Xu He's identity has been completely confirmed!
The sounds of fierce fighting echoed continuously, and members of the Sun and Moon Team had already suffered casualties!
Ma Xiaotao's psychological defenses are now on the verge of complete collapse.
Shrek Academy's crushing defeat, Xu He's exposure, the audience's insults, the chaotic battle at Star Luo Square, and the reality of being no match for Huo Yuhao.
Is Shrek really over just like that?
Is Shrek's eternal glory going to be destroyed like this?
A sense of unwillingness welled up from Ma Xiaotao's heart like a geyser.
Dense black flames began to burn fiercely around Ma Xiaotao's body.
Her fiery red phoenix form gradually turned into pitch black.
Its pink phoenix eyes had also faintly turned purple, filled with an aura of madness and despair.
The thing Xuanzi feared most still happened.
The fiery phoenix Ma Xiaotao has completely transformed into a dark phoenix.
Looking at the Dark Phoenix's true form before him, which had shrunk in size but whose aura had increased dramatically, Huo Yuhao sighed.
He took out a contract stamped with the seal of the Heavenly Soul Empire: "This is what I promised Elder Mu to help you purify the evil fire."
Ma Xiaotao let out a frantic cry and charged at Huo Yuhao with all her might: "How dare you mention that!"
"If it weren't for you! If it weren't for you! Shrek wouldn't have—"
Huo Yuhao unleashed his full power!
When he unleashed his second awakening, a terrifying and domineering dragon's might surged forth, causing the chaotic battle below to abruptly halt.
Seizing the opportunity, Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming, taking advantage of the deliberate opening created by Du Busi and Yu Longtu, flew to Xu He's side.
He grabbed him and shouted, "Sun and Moon Team, retreat!"
Various flying soul tools appeared, and then, amidst the frenzied attack of the crowd, they quickly flew into the sky.
Gu Mingxi narrowed his eyes, and three explosions rang out behind him as he hurled the Golden Dragon Spear into the sky!
The Golden Dragon Spear tore through the air, bursting into light and flames. After emitting nine dragon roars, it pierced directly through the bodies of Lin Xi and Chen Fei.
Furthermore, the Golden Dragon Spear's momentum remained undiminished, firmly embedded in Xiao Hongchen's resilient wall.
Seeing that it had flown a great distance and the Golden Dragon Spear had lost its momentum, Xiao Hongchen felt relieved.
He dispelled the barrier of resilience and grasped the golden dragon spear in his hand.
This is a treasure that can shatter an invincible shield, yet Gu Mingxi was willing to throw it out.
But the moment Xiao Hongchen's palm touched the Golden Dragon Spear, a terrifying devouring power suddenly erupted!
Xiao Hongchen was horrified to discover that his life force was rapidly draining away!
"No!" He hurriedly tried to loosen his grip, only to find that the Golden Dragon Spear was firmly attached to it!
In a moment of desperation, Xiao Hongchen frantically pulled out his soul tool and slashed his own wrist with it!
Blood splattered, and the Golden Dragon Spear transformed into a golden meteor, hurtling rapidly toward Gu Mingxi's location.
As the Sun and Moon team left, the chaos in the square gradually subsided.
The Star Luo Empire's army was mobilized and detained all the spectators from the Sun Moon Empire.
At this moment, all eyes of the Three Kingdoms audience were focused on Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao in the sky.
Ma Xiaotao's martial spirit—how did it mutate?
Di Tian raised his foot and coldly stared at Xuan Zi, who was trembling all over.
"You're scared," Di Tian said.
Xuan Ziqiang rallied his spirits: "Xiao Tao's martial soul has simply mutated into a dark phoenix; she's not an evil soul master!"
"Huang Heyun's Dark Demon Tiger also possesses the dark attribute, and he's not an evil soul master!"
Poison Immortal burst into laughter: "When did we ever say she was an evil spirit master?"
"Xuanzi, what are you panicking about?"
Then, Poison Undying took out another set of documents from his storage soul tool.
This time, what's written on it is all the statistics on the casualties of the Heavenly Soul Empire students caused by Ma Xiaotao's out-of-control evil fire during her time at Shrek Academy!
The documents detailed the victims' names and Shrek Academy's so-called compensation.
There are even the fingerprints of the Heavenly Soul students who have been expelled by Zhou Yi for various reasons over the years!
As all the materials were scattered, the audience from the Three Kingdoms period fell completely silent.
The audience can understand why Shrek Academy doesn't want to give up on Ma Xiaotao, whose martial soul is flawed.
Because Ma Xiaotao's talent—well, it's nothing compared to Huo Yuhao's.
However, allowing Ma Xiaotao to injure or even kill people, and despite Huo Yuhao and Su Tong having already frozen the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul and even provided a treatment plan, choosing to unfreeze Ma Xiaotao and let this ticking time bomb participate in the competition is unacceptable to the audience.
Shrek Academy, this is utterly reckless!
Evil Fire Phoenix, what a magnificent Evil Fire Phoenix!
"So Shrek Academy has been protecting dangerous individuals all along!"
"They don't care about the growth of ordinary trainees, nor do they care about their lives!"
"What right does such an academy have to represent justice on the mainland?!"
"They're raising evil spirit masters! Where's Long Xiaoyao?! Where did he go?!"
A wave of anger swept over Shrek Academy once again.
Xuanzi's face was ashen.
He knew that Shrek Academy's reputation was completely ruined.
"Yuhao," Du Busi said, looking at Huo Yuhao fighting Ma Xiaotao, "what should we do when facing an evil soul master?"
Huo Yuhao responded to Du Busi with only one word: "Kill!"
Ma Xiaotao had completely lost her mind: "I have the true form of a phoenix, you can't kill me!"
"You are the ultimate ice, and now I am the ultimate fire!"
"Didn't you say you'd accept my challenge? If you're so capable, then don't use your Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"
Ma Xiaotao is now surrounded by three extremes.
But she showed no fear, her black flames burning ever brighter, each move aimed directly at Huo Yuhao's vital points.
Huo Yuhao transformed back into his Ice Dragon form. This time, he no longer held back. Driven by the Dark Gold Terror Claw, the Ice Dragon Sky-Tearing Hand transformed into a terrifying twenty-meter-long dragon claw, instantly tearing apart Ma Xiaotao's Dark Phoenix true form.
After using her second awakening, Ma Xiaotao was no match for Huo Yuhao.
However, due to the phoenix's immortality, Ma Xiaotao's body, which should have shattered into several pieces, slowly healed!
"I told you!"
Ma Xiaotao cried out, "You can't kill me!"
Huo Yuhao remained expressionless, unleashing Heavenly Dragon's Wrath, Dragon Abyss Earth Roar, Ice Dragon Sky-Tearing Hand, and Dark Gold Terror Claw once more.
Ma Xiaotao's phoenix head was severed by Huo Yuhao, but it healed again.
The three extreme beings wanted to make a move, but Huo Yuhao stopped them, saying, "I'm looking for something."
Huo Yuhao is searching for the Dragon Hunt Mark hidden beneath the evil fire.
This was the spirit that Huo Yuhao and Su Tong used to implant into Ma Xiaotao's spirit using the spirit fusion skill Dragon Hunting the Eight Desolations.
When Ma Xiaotao was killed for the third time, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up instantly.
He saw the Dragon Hunt Mark hidden within Ma Xiaotao's martial soul!
This dragon-shaped mark radiates a dangerous light and is hidden deep within Ma Xiaotao's martial soul!
"Found it!"
A cold glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and his right hand transformed from a fist into a claw, instantly piercing through the wings of the dark phoenix and grasping the Dragon Hunt Mark. As the Dragon Hunt Mark was held in Huo Yuhao's hand, the intense flames burning on the phoenix's true form suddenly stopped!
Huo Yuhao exerted his strength and forcefully crushed the Dragon Hunt Mark from Ma Xiaotao's martial soul!
Ang!
A grand and resounding dragon roar echoed from the Dark Phoenix Martial Soul!
Everyone saw it: a blue dragon, its body radiating a blue aura, was moving inside the dark phoenix!
Target: The Origin of Martial Soul!
"Azure Dragon!"
Everyone was shouting.
As the Azure Dragon within the Dark Phoenix let out a roar, its dragon fangs clenched heavily into the Dark Phoenix's essence!
Ma Xiaotao let out a piercing scream!
The pitch-black flames suddenly receded, surging entirely into her body!
The power of the Dark Phoenix is beginning to crumble!
"It's over," Huo Yuhao said calmly.
The next instant, the Dark Phoenix's martial soul essence was completely torn apart by the Azure Dragon!
Ma Xiaotao's body fell like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the already shattered ground!
Huo Yuhao squatted down beside Ma Xiaotao, just like when they first met.
"Moun is not Old Man Mu."
Huo Yuhao used his telepathic resonance to say to Ma Xiaotao, "It's possible that Elder Mu's body has been replaced."
These words completely shattered Ma Xiaotao.
Huo Yuhao sighed, then used his Dark Gold Terror Claw to snap Ma Xiaotao's neck.
As for Xuanzi, when no one was paying attention to him, he led the surviving members of the Shrek team back to Shrek Academy.
Yan Shaozhe has disappeared without a trace.
Huo Yuhao stood up and looked at the devastated Xingluo Square.
Shrek Academy's eternal glory collapsed in an instant.
"The era of Shrek Academy has come to an end."
Huo Yuhao's voice wasn't loud, but it carried throughout the entire venue.
Everyone stared at Huo Yuhao standing amidst the ruins, and the proudly standing Azure Dragon Guard beside him.
At this moment, no one can deny that a brand new era has arrived.
The Shrek Seven Devils have come to a complete end with the conclusion of this most chaotic Soul Master Tournament in history.
The Azure Dragon Seven Constellations—Huo Yuhao, Gu Mingxi, Su Tong, Yu Tianlong, Nan Qiuqiu, Xingyan, and Tianmeng—overwhelmed their opponents with absolute force.
It heralded the arrival of a new era!
"The Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions! The Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions!"
The disciples of the Heaven and Earth Dragon Gates and the Body Sect were the first to shout, followed by the audience of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and then more and more people joined in!
The sound waves surged like a tide, sweeping across the entire Star Luo City!
After cheering, the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Dragon Gates and the Body Sect rushed forward and tossed the members of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations high into the air.
Poison Undying rose into the air: "Now that everyone is here, I shall make my announcement."
"Huo Yuhao, from this day forward," he said with a smile, "you are the young sect master of the Body Sect!"
The crowd cheered!
Xu Jiawei looked at the Azure Dragon constellation under the sunlight and sighed.
The war between the academies, representing the old era, has ended; what follows is a period of turbulent national turmoil.
Xu Jiawei flew down from the top of the imperial city and strode towards the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.
He never imagined that he might actually be a witness to the final Soul Master Competition.
"Shall we continue?"
Jiang Peng immediately shook his head: "What the hell are you talking about?"
"They're all my own brothers."
"Alright then." Xu Jiawei didn't mind Jiang Peng's swearing.
He turned to face the audience: "I hereby declare the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament over."
"Champion, Azure Dragon Seven Constellations!"
Xu Jiawei then handed the championship prize to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao took it and then took out the image-recording soul tool from his starlight sapphire necklace.
"Hey everyone," Huo Yuhao said with a smile, waving to everyone, "Come on over for a picture!"
"The first team is coming too! Senior Brother Long and Ning Shaozong are here as well!"
"And to all my seniors!"
The Azure Dragon Seven Constellations, the Imperial Team One, the Three Limits, Bi Ji, Yu Long Tu, Nan Shui Shui, Yu Long Mo and others gathered together.
Huo Yuhao stood in the very center of the crowd, holding the championship prize high.
"Everyone, get ready!"
"Three, two, one, Martial Soul Possession!"
Amidst the dazzling light, all the Soul Masters simultaneously unleashed their Martial Souls.
Ice Dragon Roars, Golden Dragon Shines, Green Maiden Dances, Fiery Dragon Burns the Sky, Thunder Dragon is Ferocious, Demonic Dragon is Deceptive, Dream Dragon is Illusory.
Even in Huo Yuhao's eyes, there was a fleeting glimpse of Electrolux and Hyotei's gaze.
"Click—"
The image capture device will forever freeze this moment.
The first image of the new era was thus born.
However, at that very moment, in the far north, Tianmeng's second body suddenly shivered.
That's strange.
Tianmeng Ershen murmured, "The finals are almost here, could it be that something's going to happen to Hao-ge?"
He became increasingly bored staying there, so he decided to leave the far north core and go to the outer perimeter to clear his head.
