Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 359: Massively Expanding the Army and Conquering the Entire Continent (8K)

boom!

A deafening roar erupted from the competition platform.

Almost half of the arena was engulfed by a blazing, dark red flame.

Ma Xiaotao had unleashed the evil power within her flames, causing a terrifying phoenix meteor shower to fall from the sky and a surging phoenix roar to explode upon impact with the ground.

As the two clashed, Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, instantly appeared in the arena.

With a flash, the three members of Xingluo's team who had been chased and attacked by Ma Xiaotao for half a day were moved out of the arena.

Even so, the three of them still suffered serious injuries from the intense clash of flames.

Anyone with eyes can see it.

The fate of Shrek is sealed.

Even if the remaining three Soul Kings unleash their full potential, they still cannot defeat the combined forces of the remaining six unharmed Shrek members.

Yes, there are indeed six people.

Xu Sanshi's Xuanwu bloodline eruption only lasted for a moment. Just as Ma Xiaotao rushed over, Xu Sanshi, who had shouted and driven back the people of Xingluo Academy, collapsed limply. He had only managed to repel six Soul Kings at once. The bloodline eruption was all that Xu Sanshi could muster, nothing more.

After all, Xu Sanshi was only a fourth-ring Soul Master.

The team fight is over.

The match lasted an incredibly short time from start to finish; most viewers didn't even have time to react before it was over.

Just because Xu Sanshi's speed was a tiny bit faster than Xu Jiujiu's reaction speed, what should have been a fierce quarter-final match turned into a one-sided massacre of weaker opponents.

Or rather, it's Ma Xiaotao's personal showcase.

Watching her opponent jump off the platform, Ma Xiaotao, her eyes red, approached Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, suppress it first, then freeze it."

Huo Yuhao was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. He lit a golden flame on his finger and gently touched Ma Xiaotao's forehead. The golden flame merged into Ma Xiaotao's body, and with a hiss, the evil look in Ma Xiaotao's originally dark red eyes instantly disappeared.

Ma Xiaotao immediately appeared somewhat listless. Huo Yuhao's golden flames exerted a tremendous suppressive force on her. Although the effect of suppressing the evil fire was immediate, she would still be suppressed to a certain extent.

For a moment, Ma Xiaotao instinctively wanted to lean on Huo Yuhao, but seeing Wang Dong standing up below the stage, staring at her like a frightened little beast, Ma Xiaotao could only smile helplessly and barely support herself.

Huo Yuhao quickly helped Ma Xiaotao up, and then a chill entered Ma Xiaotao's body from Huo Yuhao's fingertips.

The hissing sound of evaporation kept appearing on Ma Xiaotao's body, making her emanate white smoke from head to toe, like a human-shaped humidifier.

The icy chill stimulated Ma Xiaotao's body.

She couldn't help but shudder.

It was a little cool, but also a little refreshing.

With a series of tremors, the flushed face faded at a visible speed, and the dark red that had not completely faded from the eyes also disappeared quickly.

An extreme chill entered Ma Xiaotao's body, freezing her up at an incredibly fast speed. This scene reminded Huo Yuhao of his remote soul tools.

Those guns and cannons, it seems, need to be cooled down after a few rounds of intense firing. However, air cooling or water cooling is usually used. Judging from Ma Xiaotao's performance today, the cooling effect seems to be quite good.

"Alright, Yuhao, if it gets any colder, your sister's going to turn into an ice sculpture."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was a little distracted, Ma Xiaotao hurriedly reminded him, albeit haltingly. Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice was so effective that it made her stutter a bit.

"Okay, sure."

Huo Yuhao then realized that Ma Xiaotao's body temperature had already dropped, and he quickly let go of her hand with an apologetic expression.

"In the first semi-final match, a team battle, Shrek Academy defeated Star Luo National Academy."

The lifeless, cold voice of Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, rang out, announcing the end of today's competition.

Shrek Academy won a complete victory in today's match.

If Ma Xiaotao hadn't been fighting so hard that she couldn't control her anger, she probably wouldn't have been able to wait until Xu Jiujiu surrendered before Xingluo's side would have been completely defeated.

Compared to Shrek Academy's "completely unscathed" situation, the situation at Star Luo National Academy was far less pleasant.

Although Huang Jinxu had rescued them in time, severe burns were inevitable for the two control-type Soul Kings and the offensive-type Soul King at the forefront.

Especially since Ma Xiaotao, relying on her high fire resistance, detonated a Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike at close range. The fire-attribute soul master at least had some fire resistance, so he wasn't blasted too badly. But the other power-attack soul master was blasted in a completely different way.

The Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike was detonated at close range, and the offensive-type Soul Master vaguely saw his great-grandmother waving at him. If Huang Jinxu hadn't intervened in time, the man would probably have actually met his great-grandmother.

Even if none of the three suffer any lasting effects after receiving treatment, they will certainly be unable to continue fighting for a short period of time.

As a result, the Star Luo National Academy team lost three members, and Princess Xu Jiujiu is a support class, so the probability of her defeating Shrek in the individual battle the next day is almost zero.

Even though Xu Jiujiu still held a level seven absolute defense soul tool in her hand, it was too late to turn the tide. This defensive soul tool could only be used once. Who could she use it to seal?

By sealing Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng could wreak havoc, and vice versa. Moreover, no one could be certain of Huo Yuhao's true strength. After the team battle was lost, Xingluo Academy had lost its chance to win.

With two match points in hand, Shrek's advantage is now immense.

Before the Shrek students could leave, the Star Luo team sent someone over to announce that the Star Luo National Academy team had conceded defeat in the individual elimination round the following day.

Shrek advanced directly to the finals.

This shrewd and pragmatic emperor of Xingluo had a very clear understanding of the current situation.

These days, if you want to live a better life, even if you're wary of Shrek Academy, you still have to maintain a good relationship with it.

Putting everything else aside, even if the top combat forces of the three great empires were combined, they would absolutely be no match for the elders of Shrek Academy. If they were to actually fight the Sun Moon Empire, without the elders of Shrek Academy taking action, the Sun Moon Empire could declare war on the three empires on its own.

It's like beating a child!

In terms of stopping the Sun and Moon Empire, Shrek is the strongest and most reliable ally.

Douluo Continent is, after all, a place where might makes right. If it weren't for the fear of Shrek Academy, how could the Sun Moon Empire have remained quiet for thousands of years, only to spend a few hundred years recuperating before launching a massive invasion and sweeping across the entire continent!
