Chapter 127 Team Battle, Victory
From the moment Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were eliminated, and only Dai Yueheng among the Shrek Academy members suffered a loss of combat power, Ma Rulong knew that their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had lost this Soul Master Competition.
If that were all, it would be fine; even if Ma Rulong didn't achieve anything, he still put in a lot of effort.
Unfortunately, Meng Hongchen suffered a severe injury and his life hangs in the balance, while Xiao Hongchen has seriously overexerted himself. As the captain of the Sun and Moon team, if he wins, things will be fine, but if he loses...
Even if he only left a bad impression on the Master of the Red Dust Hall, it would be difficult for Ma Rulong to continue to work in the Mingde Hall.
Even if the Master of the Red Dust Hall disdains to condescend to suppress him, those who want to curry favor with the Master will not miss any opportunity to curry favor with him and will definitely take the initiative to cause trouble for him.
Unless, like Xiao Hongchen, Ma Rulong...
Thinking of this, Ma Rulong took a deep breath, and a blood-red core magic array flickered on his back, with dense blood flames burning.
That was the power of a level seven soul tool called the Chapter of Sacrifice. It used Ma Rulong's own life force and potential as a sacrifice to instantly enhance his physical strength and soul power to support the energy required by the level eight melee soul tool—the Sword of Judgment.
With the infusion of this enormous energy, the giant sword that was shining with golden light began to change. Starting from the hilt, the golden light quickly receded, and the entire sword gradually turned into two colors.
One side of the sword's spine turned white, while the other side turned black. The two contrasting colors, combined with the golden light emanating from it, gave it an eerie and imposing presence.
Forcibly activating an eighth-level soul tool with the cultivation of a Soul Emperor naturally comes at a price; for the next year, Ma Rulong's cultivation will not be able to improve even a little bit.
Having paid such a high price, Ma Rulong is not seeking the championship of this Soul Master Competition, but only his future prospects in Mingde Hall!
"They are darkness, and heresy is condemned."
Ma Rulong gripped the giant sword with both hands and pointed it at Xixi, while simultaneously presenting the black side of the blade to Xixi.
A black light suddenly pointed westward.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao silently breathed a sigh of relief and stopped in his tracks as he was rushing toward Ma Xiaotao.
Fortunately, Ma Rulong was not a time traveler and did not know that the Sword of Judgment had the effect of causing Ma Xiaotao's martial soul to mutate in a specific direction. When he saw that the situation was not good, he used it on Xixi directly. Luckily, it was all over.
(XiXi: So?)
Noticing the black light, Xixi instinctively dodged. The lightning flashed by, and Xixi instantly created distance between herself and the black light. Just as she thought she had successfully dodged it and was about to continue her attack on Ma Rulong, she saw the black light suddenly turn and rush towards Xixi's back.
Even with the mental detection providing Xixi with a field of vision, Xixi still didn't have time to dodge and was directly hit by the black light.
A feeling of darkness and coldness suddenly spread throughout Xixi's body, and Xixi frowned.
Evil spirits have entered the body?
This eerie and dark aura made Xixi, who was used to the purest and most powerful energy of thunder, very uncomfortable. She didn't care, but what if this thing fell on Ma Xiaotao...
Thinking of this, Xixi fully activated her lightning-attribute soul power, and purple lightning continuously exploded on her body. As the purple lightning traveled around Xixi, the dark and cold aura seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and retreated, not daring to resist the lightning, and was gradually forced into a corner by the lightning.
Thunder is inherently a supremely yang and powerful force; how dare mere evil energy try to take advantage of it?
Seeing the dark aura released by the Sword of Judgment being forced back, Ma Rulong was somewhat stunned.
This was the first time he had ever learned that the darkness bestowed by the Sword of Judgment could be suppressed.
After all, even the light-attribute slashes following Judgment Blade are only special attacks, not direct dispels.
However, Ma Rulong couldn't care less about that. If he wanted to reactivate the Dark Power, the time it would have taken to stop his cultivation for a year would probably have been extended to two years. There was no need for that. He could just put on a show in a losing situation.
Gritting his teeth, Ma Rulong flipped the giant sword in his hand over, and the white side burst out with a strong incandescent light. The golden sword light also shone to its extreme in an instant, and the aura of light swept across the entire area.
Taking advantage of the time before Xixi could completely expel the dark aura, Ma Rulong swung the Sword of Judgment and slashed fiercely at Xixi.
Because Xixi had to share the dark energy she was suppressing, she couldn't dodge, but Ling Luochen didn't. Sensing Xixi's terrible condition, Ling Luochen stopped conserving his soul power and placed three ice shields in front of the Sword of Judgment.
At the same time, the Ice Staff pointed forward, and Ling Luochen's third soul ring instantly shone. A beam of ice-blue light appeared precisely above Ma Rulong's head, wrapping around Ma Rulong's feet and eventually turning into an ice prison.
Originally, Ling Luochen's third soul skill was to release blue light and transform it into an ice prison that descended from the sky. At Huo Yuhao's suggestion, Ling Luochen, after many experiments, changed this effect to only trap the target's feet.
Judging from the comments of those in the inner court, this skill is quite disgusting, often causing them to lose their balance while moving at high speed.
Of course, Ling Luochen, with only the cultivation of a Soul King, could not completely stop Ma Rulong's attack that burned his potential. However, thanks to Ling Luochen's intervention, Xixi completely suppressed the dark aura within her body.
With a flash of lightning, Xixi bypassed the Sword of Judgment and attacked Ma Rulong directly.
Xixi's martial soul is the Lightning Leopard, which combines lightning attribute with agility attack type. This allows Xixi to unleash a speed comparable to that of an agility attack type Soul Saint who releases their martial soul true form in a short period of time, thanks to her Soul King cultivation.
Meanwhile, the presence of the lightning attribute ensures that Xixi's attack power remains at a high level, preventing situations where the attack speed is high but the damage is so high that it's easy to see that it's just scratching the surface.
In a short time, Xixi alone overpowered Ma Rulong, leaving him unable to even fight back.
With Ling Luochen occasionally lending a helping hand, it was clear that Ma Rulong wouldn't last long before being eliminated.
Given Xixi's speed, it would have been difficult for Ling Luochen to keep up, and even providing support for Xixi would have been challenging.
However, with the help of mental detection, Xixi's movements were completely clear, and even what Xixi would do in the next few seconds could be predicted. Xixi would also know the moment Ling Luochen made his move and would cooperate accordingly.
This seemingly one-man teamwork left Ma Rulong helplessly taking hits throughout the entire match, his bursts of power completely wasted, and he was eliminated in frustration.
Meanwhile, Ma Xiaotao finally dealt with the ten-thousand-year-old ape spirit beast that had inexplicably appeared on the competition stage, and went with Ling Luochen and Xixi to support Dai Yueheng.
Even with Gongyang Mo's assistance, Dai Yueheng, who was severely injured, was still struggling to hold back the three members of the Sun and Moon team. He breathed a deep sigh of relief when he saw that the other side was finally over.
With the intervention of two Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor, the Sun and Moon Team could no longer hold on and quickly typed "gg".
Speaking of which, in the original novel, when Huo Yuhao suppressed Ma Xiaotao's evil fire after the team battle, the two showed signs of spirit fusion. Considering that there were no plans to write Ma Xiaotao's storyline, I won't describe it in the main text. Just know that this is a point.
