Douluo Continent: The Peerless Hunting Heavenly Lord, Huo Yuhao!

Huo Yuhao's third eye on his forehead glowed faintly, and he raised his hand to gently pat Wu Meng's shoulder. The life force of extreme ice and the life metal flowed into Wu Meng's meridians.

Visibly, the bluish-purple discoloration on Wu Meng's face faded at an extremely rapid pace, her pale complexion quickly warmed up, and her lips regained their rosy hue.

In a very short time, the toad venom was completely eradicated.

Meng Hongchen froze instantly, her face filled with disbelief as she stared at Huo Yuhao in astonishment: "How did you do that?! My martial soul poison can't be purified without the ultimate attribute!"

A faint smile flickered in Huo Yuhao's eyes, his polite demeanor tinged with a hint of cunning: "It's very simple. As for the method... I'll tell Miss Meng slowly after the competition."

"You!" Meng Hongchen puffed out her cheeks in anger, her curiosity piqued but helpless, and could only shut her mouth in frustration.

Wu Meng has retired to rest, and Ling Luochen will be the next batter for Shrek Academy.

Both being ice-type soul masters, they seem to have the same attribute and can counterbalance each other, but in reality, they are naturally countered from the start.

Meng Hongchen's Zhu Qingbing Toad possesses both ice and fire attributes. Ordinary ice-attribute soul power is not only unable to resist the poison, but will instead be devoured and assimilated by the reverse attribute soul power.

In addition, Meng Hongchen is surrounded by high-level defensive soul tools and has a solid foundation.

Although Ling Luochen's control over ice elements was strong, it was subtly suppressed by the underlying rules of his martial soul. After several tug-of-wars, he was ultimately powerless to turn the tide and suffered a regrettable defeat.

In the instant of defeat, Huo Yuhao went back on stage and gently touched Ling Luochen's shoulder.

A wisp of extremely cold, pure, and unadulterated ice quietly entered her body, silently eliminating any remaining toxins.

Ling Luochen was startled and suddenly turned to look at Huo Yuhao, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

Huo Yuhao shook his head almost imperceptibly, secretly making a shushing gesture, signaling her not to make a fuss.

Extreme Ice is a top-tier attribute on the continent, and it is not yet time to reveal our trump card.

The battle continued, and Xixi took to the stage to fight.

Knowing full well that she was at a disadvantage and would lose if she fought head-on, Xixi decided to use an extremely fierce fighting style, launching a full-speed close-range attack to lock down Meng Hongchen.

In the end, they both perished, stepping off the edge of the ring and forcibly ending Meng Hongchen's winning streak, thus clearing the biggest obstacle for Shrek Academy.

The situation in the arena changed once again, with Shrek facing off against Chen Zifeng, the captain of Sun Moon's last remaining core fighting force.

In the previous team battle, the Hongchen siblings absorbed most of the storm damage from the Weiling Yazi. Although Ma Rulong appeared to be in a sorry state, his soul power reserves were minimally depleted, and he still maintained 70-80% of his peak combat power.

Huo Yuhao watched the battle quietly from the sidelines, silently evaluating Ma Rulong in his heart.

This person truly deserves to be called an excellent captain.

He dared to sacrifice a year's worth of cultivation to wield the sword of judgment and fight for victory on the field. He was decisive, courageous, responsible, and had great courage.

This team spirit is commendable, but such extreme behavior of risking one's life and taking unnecessary risks is absolutely not worth emulating.

The battle began on stage, but Chen Zifeng had not yet adapted to Ma Rulong's offensive and defensive rhythm.

As a level seven Soul Master and a level sixty-one Power Attack Soul Emperor, Ma Rulong was highly skilled in close combat, Soul Guidance combos, and rhythm control. He seized the opportunity when Chen Zifeng was probing and seamlessly connected a set of close combat Soul Guidance combos, directly knocking Chen Zifeng off the stage.

Wang Yan, sitting in the audience, clenched his fists, his mind tense.

If the battle continues to be at a disadvantage, Shrek will have to resort to the 2-2-3 rotation strategy. Once they do so, their advantage will be completely wiped out.

On the stage, all eyes were on the last person – Ma Xiaotao.

Ma Rulong stared at the approaching Fire Phoenix Soul Master, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and once again raised the Judgment Sword, its light and shadow intertwined, in his palm.

He had always been puzzled as to why the power of judgment, which he had poured all his cultivation into, had no effect on Huo Yuhao, but instead became a buff for him.

It wasn't until he faced Chen Zifeng that he fully understood the truth.

Light cannot purify Huo Yuhao, darkness cannot corrupt Huo Yuhao, and all the ways of judgment in the world are ineffective against him.

But everyone except Huo Yuhao is bound by constraints!

Ma Rulong's eyes were sharp, and he poured out all his soul power, causing the Judgment Sword to emit a black light that blazed to the heavens!

"They are darkness, condemn heresy!!"

A jet-black stream of light shot out from the sky and rushed straight into Ma Xiaotao's body!

Huo Yuhao's pupils constricted, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He cursed inwardly, "Madman!"

The Sword of Judgment targets the very essence of a martial spirit. If one is hit by it, one will suffer severe damage at best, and at worst, the martial spirit will be mutated and completely transformed into an evil martial spirit!

If it were ten thousand years ago, the evil spirit wouldn't matter much; in that era, actions mattered.

But in this era, evil martial spirits are the original sin!

Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Yuhao suddenly stood up and roared, "Referee! We concede!!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

No one could understand why the Shrek Academy core members would voluntarily concede and give up the battle when the tide of battle was about to turn.

Only Huo Yuhao knew perfectly well that winning or losing was never as important as his companions.

He can lose the game, but he will never allow Ma Xiaotao to become a victim of the game!

Ma Xiaotao on stage was instantly engulfed in anger.

Victory was within reach, but it was interrupted by a sudden surrender. The accumulated criticism, the pressure on the field, and the stubbornness in his heart erupted in an instant.

Countless negative thoughts flooded his mind, and a dark fire quietly ignited and spread wildly.

Her eyes were bloodshot as she roared, "I disagree! I will protect Shrek's honor!!"

The phoenix flames, as black as fire, covered his entire body, transforming him into a dark fire phoenix. With a ferocious intent to burn everything, he pounced on Ma Rulong without regard for anything else!

Ma Rulong was momentarily stunned, not expecting his opponent to ignore the surrender decision and force a fight.

At the critical moment, Huo Yuhao flashed and leaped onto the platform!

He delivered a precise kick to Ma Rulong's chest, sending the unsuspecting Sun Moon Captain flying off the stage.

At the same time, the invincible shield instantly spread out, forming a pure white shield.

A dark, ghostly figure slowly rose behind Huo Yuhao, and a fierce roar echoed throughout the arena: "Ma Xiaotao! Be quiet!"

At that moment, everyone in the stadium, the players from both teams, and the referees noticed something was amiss.

The once arrogant and passionate phoenix was now surrounded by a deathly, dark flame on the verge of going out of control, its martial spirit state extremely strange!

Ma Xiaotao's body surged with black flames as she turned and stared intently at Huo Yuhao, her voice sharp and filled with extreme obsession and rage: "Huo Yuhao! Do you know what you're doing?! How dare you admit defeat! How dare you deny my fight!"

The wind howled, and the Milky Way surged.

Huo Yuhao's originally gentle temperament has completely changed. The warmth in his eyes has faded away, leaving only an icy calm and resolute expression.

The Imperial Bow, the God of Fate, materialized in mid-air, its pure white body adorned with streaks of starlight.

His once black hair had completely transformed into a dazzling white, half of his face was covered with a deep blue and black patterned battle mask, his silver-blue starry battle suit stretched close to his body, with gilded star trail patterns flowing all around him, his dark starry cloak fluttering wildly in the wind behind him, and a blue halo at his waist trailing out a sky full of flowing light.

Sacred, domineering, and fierce—unparalleled in the world!

Huo Yuhao stared at the out-of-control Ma Xiaotao, his words ringing with conviction:

"Of course I know."

"I'm saving you."

Chapter 112 Suppression, Victory! (Part 4)

The evil fire completely consumed her reason, and the last glimmer of clarity in Ma Xiaotao's eyes crumbled inch by inch, her scarlet pupils filled with a violent deathly stillness.

The sixth spirit ring suddenly shone brightly!

Sixth Soul Skill: Phoenix Meteor Shower!

Unlike the intense fire bombardment of the past, what fell from the sky at this moment were all dark, inky fire meteors, each one carrying evil fire!

The entire arena was instantly enveloped in a dark rain of fire, and the overwhelming torrent of destruction locked onto Huo Yuhao in front of him. Its momentum was fierce and unstoppable, and the aftershocks had even begun to spread toward the audience, which could cause large-scale collateral damage at any time.

On the sidelines, Xian Lin'er's expression changed drastically, and she instantly understood everything.

Her belated epiphany finally made her understand why Huo Yuhao was willing to abandon the battle and forcefully admit defeat—Ma Xiaotao had completely fallen into evil!

Ordinary phoenix fire is scorching and extremely yang, but the dark phoenix fire that Ma Xiaotao is leaking at this moment has already broken through the limits of the conventional evil fire phoenix martial soul and entered the realm of ultimate fire.

This power is terrifying beyond measure. It is unrestrained, difficult to purify, and extremely easy to become completely corrupted. Once it is completely out of control, not only will one's own martial soul fall into evil, but the entire arena will be ravaged by evil flames!

At the critical moment, Xian Lin'er stepped into the air and instantly appeared beside Huo Yuhao, her pure blue-green flames spreading out.

The moment the countless black fireballs collided with the green flames, they were instantly swallowed up and vanished without a trace, like snow melting under the blazing sun.

With the crisis temporarily suppressed, Xian Lin'er turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao, whose appearance had changed drastically beside her. Looking at his long, snow-white hair, his face covered with black star patterns, and the chilling star trail pressure flowing around him, she scolded him in a light tone, "Next time there's an emergency, give me a heads-up."

Xian Lin'er was also somewhat surprised, because the moment she dealt with Ma Xiaotao's sixth soul ring, she could clearly feel that Ma Xiaotao's evil fire had reached the level of extreme fire! It was only because Xian Lin'er's soul power was high that she could suppress it, otherwise it would have been all over!

Huo Yuhao suppressed the divine aura emanating from his body, his expression calm and composed. He nodded slightly in apology: "The situation has changed suddenly and is urgent. Please forgive me, Dean."

His gaze returned to the arena. At this moment, Ma Xiaotao had completely lost control. Black flames surged around her, and her soul power was chaotic and rampant. She was about to break free from her restraints and indiscriminately bombard the audience and contestants.

The situation cannot be delayed!

Huo Yuhao's gaze suddenly turned cold, all his gentle demeanor vanished, leaving only a godlike, just, ruthless, and decisive nature!

"I said—stop!"

A chilling shout reverberated throughout the arena, as if an invisible law of heaven and earth had crashed to the ground, and the phantom of the centaur god behind Huo Yuhao vanished in a flash.

At the same time, the phantom of Yazi's mighty spirit materialized in the real world, and the ultimate wind combined with the pure and flawless ultimate light soul power condensed into an arrow that traversed the sky.
