Chapter 59 Semifinals, Dai Huabin
It wasn't until Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba were thrown out that the proctor realized what was happening and rushed out to catch them.
Fortunately, Xiao Xiao didn't go too far. The two brothers only coughed up blood and looked somewhat weak, but they didn't suffer any serious internal injuries.
In mid-air, Xie Huanyue's right arm lashed out like an octopus tentacle. He had anticipated the defeats of Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.
But none of that matters. As long as he can get Wang Dong'er off the field, there's no way he can be defeated by a mere second-ring and a first-ring Soul Master.
After the previous probing, Xie Huanyue was quite certain that although Wang Dong'er's soul skill posed a threat to him, it could not kill him instantly. As long as she could not kill his fat body in one blow, he could sound the horn of counterattack.
However, Xie Huanyue forgot that from the very beginning of this battle, Wang Dong'er had not revealed her second and third soul skills.
After dealing with Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba, Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao immediately retreated to the edge of the arena, leaving the center of the battlefield to Wang Dong'er and Xie Huanyue.
Then, Xie Huanyue saw Wang Dong'er's first and second spirit rings light up simultaneously.
A brilliant golden light appeared on Wang Dong'er's body; her butterfly wings had completely turned into a brilliant gold.
"This is..." Many of the teachers watching from the high platform were leaning against the railing, staring wide-eyed at Wang Dong'er.
Generally speaking, a Soul Master will only have nine Soul Rings and Soul Skills, but some Soul Masters with good talent have a fast and stable combination of Soul Skills.
Often, when the opponent only releases one soul skill, this soul master can unleash two soul skills in succession, gaining the upper hand.
But what Wang Dong'er released at this moment was not just a simple combination of soul skills; if you had to describe it, it was more like a fusion of soul skills.
Two different soul skills are combined to form a new soul skill that is then released.
It is essentially a martial soul fusion skill in terms of soul skills.
In the history of the Soul Master world, there are not many Soul Masters who can achieve this level. Sometimes it is not entirely related to the Soul Master's own talent. It is possible to figure it out in a flash of inspiration.
Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao knew about Wang Dong'er's tactics before the battle, but they did not expect that what Wang Dong'er meant by "I will launch an awesome attack" would be like this.
However, Xie Huanyue's feeling was not so good.
He had a vague feeling that he was being targeted by this attack, and that he absolutely could not withstand it.
"I surrender!" Xie Huanyue shouted, and quickly retracted his right arm that had been pulled out.
Upon hearing Xie Huanyue admit defeat, the proctor who had just rushed out immediately returned, ready to block Wang Dong'er's fused soul skill.
However, before he could make a move, Wang Dong'er's attack transformed into a crescent-shaped golden blade of light, shooting towards the sky.
Sitting on the high platform, Xuanzi, who was drinking wine and eating meat, nodded. "This one is not bad. As for the other two, the one who uses a cauldron is alright, but the one with a ten-year soul ring is a bit lacking and not suitable for being directly granted the qualification of a core disciple."
"Class 1, Wang Dong'er's team wins!" The proctor announced after Xie Huanyue stepped down from the stage.
The quarterfinals have ended, and now only four teams remain in the ranking matches, two of which are teams with three-ring Soul Masters.
According to the draw results, in the semi-finals, Wang Dong'er and her two teammates will face one of the teams with Soul Masters, Dai Huabin's team.
Upon hearing Dai Huabin's name, Huo Yuhao could barely contain his emotions and it took him a long time to recover.
"Dai Huabin, isn't that Huo Yuhao's enemy?" Xiao Xiao said, "When we face them this afternoon, let's give them a good beating!"
Huo Yuhao shook his head. "You may not know, but the White Tiger Duke's Mansion has been linked with the Netherworld Duke's Mansion of the Star Luo Empire by marriage for ten thousand years. Almost every generation produces a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. I think Dai Huabin may be no exception."
"A Spirit Fusion Skill?" Xiao Xiao was taken aback. "Dai Huabin is a Soul Master. If he has a Spirit Fusion Skill with someone else, wouldn't he be able to at least fight against a Soul Master at the Soul Sect level?"
A Soul Master level fighter can play a decisive role in this kind of competition.
Wang Dong'er smiled and said, "Then we can just prevent them from undergoing spirit fusion."
Unless Dai Huabin uses his Martial Soul Fusion Skill right from the start, like the Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo sisters did.
But it's almost impossible for Dai Huabin to do that.
For someone like him, the pride of a Soul Master is more important than anything else. If he were to use a Soul Fusion Technique right away, from his perspective, it would be a deliberate declaration that he is no match for Wang Dong'er and that he has no choice but to use a Soul Fusion Technique to defend himself.
His pride wouldn't allow him to do that.
"My first and second soul skills can also be used together, which might be able to hold him off for a while," Xiao Xiao said.
"Okay, just do your best on the spot." Wang Dong'er nodded. "Let's go eat first."
Soon it was afternoon, and the assessment area had been divided into two large areas, much larger than the previous venue, which allowed Soul Masters to better demonstrate their skills.
This time, an acquaintance also came to the scene.
Yan Shaozhe, Dean of the Martial Soul Department at Shrek Academy.
Besides Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department also has a vice dean. However, the vice dean usually focuses more on the fifth and sixth grade students, supplying new blood to the inner academy.
As for Shao Zhe, he mostly managed the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, so the outer courtyard was almost entirely controlled by Du Weilun, the head of teaching.
At this moment, Yan Shaozhe was standing on the high platform, looking down while listening to Du Weilun's report.
"...Therefore, I believe the above-mentioned students can be included in the list of core disciples," Du Weilun said respectfully to Yan Shaozhe.
"Yes, Viren, you've been in the academy for over twenty years, and I've witnessed all your contributions. I trust your judgment," Yan Shaozhe said, then, as if suddenly remembering something, turned and asked, "By the way, I remember the team that ranked first in the freshman assessment all made it onto the core disciple list, right?"
Du Weilun nodded and said, "That's right, but Dai Huabin and the other two have already been included in my core disciple list, so there's no need to mention that again."
"Dai Huabin... So, you think Dai Huabin's team is more likely to go all the way?"
"Dean Yan, after all, they possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. At this point, who can stop Dai Huabin and the other two from winning first place?" Du Weilun chuckled.
Yan Shaozhe nodded. "That's true, maybe I'm overthinking it."
In any case, even if Wang Dong'er reveals her twin martial souls, it is unlikely that she can deal with a combat power of at least Soul Master level. Huo Yuhao is a one-ring Soul Master with only ten years of Soul Rings. How could he possibly win the competition?
