Both sides moved in exactly the same way. After the starting signal was given, they charged at each other simultaneously.
This time, Xu Zihuang no longer lagged behind Tuoba Yu and Nanmen Yun'er as before, but rushed to the front.
Even before using his martial soul power, he was faster than Nanmen Yun'er and Tuoba Yu after releasing their martial souls.
Although Tuoba Yu and Nanmen Yun'er were somewhat surprised, now was clearly not the time to be distracted.
Xu Zihuang was clearly targeting Dai Huabin, so they each went after their own adversaries.
Nanmen Yun'er approached Zhu Lu, who was also a speed-attack type battle spirit master, while Tuoba Yu approached Cui Yajie.
On the other side, Dai Huabin and his two companions continued their sprint forward in formation. Dai Huabin led the charge, shouting as he ran, "White Tiger, possess me!"
A burst of intense, pale white light erupted from his body. As Dai Huabin sprinted, he stretched his arms out to the sides, his chest heaving, and his bones cracking and popping. His muscles bulged, straining against his white school uniform. Every muscle became extremely prominent beneath his clothes, and even the air around him seemed to become turbulent.
His once golden hair instantly turned black and white, with white making up the majority and a few strands of black hair standing out starkly. Four faint lines appeared on his forehead, three horizontal and one vertical, forming the Chinese character for "king".
His hands underwent the most dramatic change, more than doubling in size. White fur covered his entire palms, and with each flick of his fingers, short, dagger-like claws shot out and retracted from his hands. Each claw was like a blade, a full eight inches long, gleaming with a chilling, sinister light.
Dai Huabin slowly leaned forward, his eyes turning a deep, dark blue, giving the impression of a ferocious machine.
Beneath his feet, three shimmering halos rose one after another, slowly ascending, two yellow and one purple. As the soul rings swirled, surging soul power formed a wave-like pressure that burst forth.
But this pressure dissipated the moment it touched Xu Zihuang.
His originally deep purple eyes turned into a brilliant gold, with obscure and intricate patterns swirling around his pupils.
Xu Zihuang's physical changes after using his martial soul were far less obvious than Dai Huabin's, but the three purple thousand-year soul rings that rose up made Dai Huabin and the other two pause for a moment.
Only when they truly faced Xu Zihuang did they genuinely feel this intense sense of oppression.
After Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie released their martial souls, they each underwent different changes.
Zhu Lu's different colored eyes became even deeper, her pointed ears perked up, and her slender body became more slender and powerful. Each finger had a sharp blade springing out. Unlike Dai Huabin, she wasn't as fierce, but she possessed an ethereal lightness. Although her speed hadn't yet surpassed Dai Huabin's, her figure flashed, leaving a series of afterimages around her.
It is the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul passed down through generations of the Zhu family in the Star Luo Empire.
Cui Yajie's transformation was even more astonishing. She seemed to have aged three or four years. The girl, who was originally only around twelve, had blossomed into a vibrant young woman. Her long pink hair had grown even longer, now sporting large, wavy curls that cascaded down like a pink waterfall. Her eyes were clear and bright, and her stunning beauty, especially when she smiled, was captivating.
Two long tails have appeared behind it, each about a meter long, with thick pink fur that looks incredibly glossy in the sunlight.
Her martial soul is considered high-level among beast martial souls, but it's quite special. It's called the Nine-Tailed Fox. With each additional spirit ring, she gains another fox tail, making her even stronger.
In that brief moment, the two sides had already closed to within fifty meters of each other.
The first to collide were Xu Zihuang and Dai Huabin, who were at the forefront of their respective teams.
A hint of confusion appeared in Dai Huabin's eyes. He didn't understand why Yu Tianhuang, a control-type battle spirit master, wanted to engage him in close combat.
In the blink of an eye, his attack was already launched unconsciously.
Dai Huabin roared, and intense white light instantly converged on his head. His second spirit ring lit up, and then a ball of white light shot out towards Xu Zihuang.
White Tiger Martial Soul, Second Soul Skill - White Tiger Blazing Light Wave.
Faced with Dai Huabin's attack, Xu Zihuang also activated his second soul skill, Mirror Annihilation.
Strange dark red ripples appeared silently, and just as Dai Huabin became wary, dragon scales formed from dark red crystals began to emerge on Xu Zihuang's arms.
The dragon scales were thick, coarse, transparent, and sharply defined. They were completely different from the fine white scales that appeared after Tuoba Yu's martial spirit was attached to him.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Xu Zihuang's arms had transformed into dark red crystal dragon arms. The shape was very similar to the right arm of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex after Beibei's dragon transformation.
With his right claw raised, Dai Huabin's second soul skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, was crushed amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.
The crystal dragon scales, which were far harder than cold iron, were completely undamaged.
Both sides were already charging towards each other with all their might, and after this moment of clash, Xu Zihuang's figure had already overlapped with Dai Huabin's.
Dai Huabin's pupils contracted, and with a roar, his pair of sharp claws slammed heavily towards Xu Zihuang.
A strong sense of humiliation welled up in his heart, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.
He finally understood what Xu Zihuang meant: he wanted to confront him head-on. The implication was clear: he was going to suppress Xu Zihuang in his area of expertise.
Having possessed a top-tier offensive White Tiger Martial Soul, when had he ever suffered such an insult?
Although Dai Huabin was brave, he was also very experienced in combat. As his claws slammed towards Xu Zihuang, his first spirit ring lit up.
A layer of white light transformed into a protective shield around the entire body.
This is his first defensive soul skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier. Not only does it have a strong defensive effect, but it can also enhance his own combat power.
To Dai Huabin's surprise, Xu Zihuang neither dodged nor avoided, but instead met his tiger claws head-on with his pair of crystal dragon claws.
You want to fight me head-on? Are you looking for death?
Dai Huabin snorted disdainfully, but the next moment his eyes were filled with horror.
The immense force from his claws sent him staggering backward dozens of meters. The numbness and excruciating pain in his arms intertwined, frantically stimulating his nerves.
He suddenly looked up, only to be horrified to find that Xu Zihuang had vanished.
The teachers on the platform all looked in the direction above Dai Huabin's head.
That's right, Xu Zihuang was currently about ten meters above Dai Huabin's head in mid-air.
A dark red crystal condensed in the air, and Xu Zihuang used it to gain momentum. The explosive force at that moment created a sonic boom in the air.
Dai Huabin's combat intuition was exceptional; upon noticing the anomaly, he abruptly looked up at the sky. But it was too late for him to dodge; he could only unleash several more breaths of White Tiger Blazing Light Waves to force Xu Zihuang back.
In his view, Xu Zihuang, who was not a flying-type Soul Master, was undoubtedly a sitting duck in the air.
Xu Zihuang silently watched the White Tiger's fierce light waves from a tricky angle, the golden patterns in his eyes shining brightly.
The Golden Eyes' martial soul instinct has pushed dynamic vision to its limit.
While suspended in mid-air, he seemed to be able to leverage the air, his figure flashing repeatedly as he dodged Dai Huabin's White Tiger Blazing Light Wave.
Dai Huabin's worldview was about to collapse, because Xu Zihuang's methods were completely beyond his comprehension.
How does a Soul Master manage to walk on air?
By the time he realized and noticed the thin, mirror-like dark red crystal at Xu Zihuang's feet, it was too late.
Xu Zihuang's figure was so fast that he didn't even catch a glimpse of him immediately.
With that burst of speed, Xu Zihuang's speed over short distances was comparable to that of a speed-type Soul Master of the same level.
Drawn by the energy, Dai Huabin subconsciously looked down, only to see Xu Zihuang's bent knee hurtling towards him.
"Bang—" A tooth-grinding sound rang out, and Dai Huabin was almost knocked unconscious by Xu Zihuang's knee strike. His body was propelled off the field by the force of the impact, and blood mixed with broken teeth spurted from his mouth.
Then, Xu Zihuang tapped the ground repeatedly with his toes, catching up with Dai Huabin's flying figure. He raised his long right leg and stomped his heel heavily on Dai Huabin's chest.
Another series of crisp cracking sounds followed as Dai Huabin's body was kicked into the hard marble floor by Xu Zihuang.
With his abdomen embedded in the marble slab, his body arched upwards, and covered in blood, Dai Huabin appeared exceptionally terrifying.
He struggled to his feet, his eyes fixed on Xu Zihuang, and he growled, "Ah! I want you dead! I want you—"
In that instant, he snapped out of his daze, and his pride completely crumbled. He became hysterical.
Before he could finish his second sentence, Xu Zihuang kicked him away again. He kicked up a cloud of dust and collapsed helplessly to the ground.
The entire venue fell silent.
Everyone in the venue, the students and teachers in the stands, and even the two deans, Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo, were stunned.
Absolute crushing defeat. Yu Tianhuang, a control-type Soul Master, completely overwhelmed Dai Huabin, a power-attack-type Soul Master, in close combat.
Chapter 102, leave the rest to me.
Dai Huabin used his arms to support himself as he stood up, his body trembling.
The physical injuries he suffered were secondary; the main thing was his unwillingness to accept defeat!
I, the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, the family's top genius for nearly a thousand years, why would I lose to someone like this?
On what grounds?!
And they were completely powerless to resist.
Crimson blood mixed with tooth fragments stained the floor in front of him, and the air around Dai Huabin instantly distorted. His evil pupils suddenly turned blood red, and his third-ranked spirit ring, shimmering with a noble purple light, rose up. His already imposing body, enhanced by the White Tiger spirit, swelled even more, his muscles bulging exaggeratedly. His upper body clothes were completely ripped open, revealing the clear outline of his muscles.
The most bizarre thing was that black horizontal stripes appeared on his skin, and if it weren't for the fact that he had no hair, he would look just like a tiger.
His tiger paws grew even larger, and the blades that sprang from them turned a bright silver. Most remarkably, his entire body was enveloped in a strong golden light, as if he were gilded. His blood-red eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, and his whole being exuded the domineering aura of a king among beasts.
When he unleashed his third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, the immense boost to his body allowed him to stand up despite his previously weakened state.
Intense golden light burst forth from Dai Huabin's body, and his speed and strength surged dramatically.
With a roar, Dai Huabin charged at Xu Zihuang once again.
"Hua Bin!" Zhu Lu, who was entangled with Nanmen Yun'er, noticed Dai Hua Bin, who was covered in blood, out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but exclaim.
The fight between Xu Zihuang and Dai Huabin just now was too fast; it probably didn't even last three seconds.
The arrogant Dai Huabin in his heart had turned into this miserable state.
A streak of emerald light flashed by, and the extremely sharp aura emanating from her snow-white neck brought Zhu Lu back to her senses. Her pair of Netherworld Cat Claws clashed with the jade blade formed by Nanmen Yun'er's first soul skill.
Sparks flew as the two retreated simultaneously. Their eyes met.
Zhu Lu and Nanmen Yun'er are both agility-type Soul Masters with similar cultivation levels and similar Martial Soul quality.
Although Nanmen Yun'er might not be able to defeat her, it would be equally difficult for her to get rid of Nanmen Yun'er's entanglement and support Dai Huabin, unless she was willing to expend a lot of soul power to use soul skills.
Meanwhile, the battle between Tuoba Yu and Cui Yajie was also very intense.
Cui Yajie's Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul is somewhere between the mental and physical attack types, and that's also the cultivation path she chose.
Tuoba Yu's White Armor Earth Dragon Martial Soul is described as an offensive type, but its defensive capabilities are quite impressive. It can be considered a powerful offensive Martial Soul that combines both offense and defense.
There is no clear relationship of restraint or being restrained between the two.
For a time, the situation remained deadlocked.
It was at this moment, amidst the frenzied howling, that Dai Huabin and Xu Zihuang's figures overlapped once again.
In terms of fighting style, Dai Huabin, possessing the top-tier beast spirit White Tiger, is undoubtedly the most aggressive of all. Moreover, he has almost lost his mind at this moment and is completely unprepared to hold back.
Almost every move he made was aimed at killing.
A pair of tiger paws slapped repeatedly at Xu Zihuang.
