Did the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy just surrender?
The audience and the remaining members of Shrek Academy couldn't help but be shocked.
The Sun Moon team still had three members left, including their strongest captain, Ma Rulong, who hadn't even stepped onto the stage—how could they give up so easily?
On the sidelines, Ma Xiaotao looked puzzled.
"Teacher Wang, do you know what's going on?"
Wang Yan's face darkened. After a moment of thought, he gave his guess:
"They're giving up the individual matches as a strategy—retreating to advance. Because in a one-on-one situation, none of them can match Huo Yuhao."
"For a soul master, more people mean more strength."
"They must have some hidden cards left. Be careful during the next round!"
"In the 2-2-3 strategy, the first to enter the arena will definitely be Ma Rulong and Xiao Xiafeng."
"This gives the siblings, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, enough time to rest."
…
Wang Yan's face naturally showed worry. He had no idea what the Sun Moon team's hidden cards might be.
As Wang Yan fell silent in concern, Huo Yuhao suddenly turned and put one arm around Ma Xiaotao's shoulder and the other around Ling Luocheng.
"Two senior sisters, leave the first match to me and Wang Dong. You just fight in the second match."
Huo Yuhao clearly knew that if Ma Rulong fought Ma Xiaotao in the first match, facing Ma Rulong's level-8 soul-guided weapon, Ma Xiaotao would trigger her Dark Force completely.
Her Evil Fire Martial Soul would erupt repeatedly, mainly because Ma Xiaotao hadn't fully accepted the darkness within.
For Huo Yuhao, suppressing the Evil Fire was easy. But suppression was only temporary. If she didn't fully accept it, it would always linger—just delayed.
Ma Xiaotao wanted to refuse Huo Yuhao's arrangement, but when she saw the concern in his eyes, she fell silent.
Under Huo Yuhao's gaze, she obediently nodded, agreeing to his decision.
"Both teams' members, step onto the stage!" Tian Sha Douluo's voice rang out again.
"Don't overthink it, senior sister," Huo Yuhao smiled, running his hand through Ma Xiaotao's hair as he strode toward the stage with Wang Dong.
At this moment, whether in the Xingluo Plaza or atop the Royal City's walls, everyone fell silent.
All were wondering: Could the Sun Moon team really pull off a miracle?
Both teams had one victory in the group and individual rounds. The final decisive battle was about to begin.
The 2-2-3 strategy—unpredictability at its peak.
As Wang Yan predicted, to give Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen enough recovery time, Ma Rulong and Xiao Xiafeng stepped up from the Sun Moon team's waiting area, striding onto the stage.
After their earlier rest, their soul power had mostly recovered.
Almost at full strength.
On the Shrek side, stepping forward were Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
Ma Rulong's eyes narrowed as he faced Huo Yuhao.
"Huo Yuhao, I advise you to surrender now. Otherwise, you'll be the one regretting it!"
Before Huo Yuhao could respond, Wang Dong jumped forward.
Whoever spoke ill of Huo Yuhao was clearly challenging her!
Wang Dong snorted disdainfully, her delicate face raised as she coldly looked at the two opponents.
"Tsk tsk tsk, defeated underlings, talk big, do you~"
"When the time comes, the ones getting beaten senseless will still be you!"
Hearing this taunt, Xiao Xiafeng's anger flared—he almost charged forward, but Ma Rulong grabbed him, pulling him back.
The two retreated slowly, creating distance.
Bickering was meaningless.
He would make Huo Yuhao regret it!
And this Wang Dong too!
This was the peak duel between the two captains of Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
Ma Rulong whispered to Xiao Xiafeng as they approached the edge of the stage, causing them to slightly fall behind in timing.
The rain still drizzled from the sky. In this wet, water-element-rich weather, Huo Yuhao seemed even more advantaged.
The battlefield showed its scars from earlier matches—pockmarked and battered.
Tian Sha Douluo, Huang Jinxu, glanced at both sides. The final battle was about to conclude.
Even at his level of mastery, after focusing so intensely, he felt a trace of fatigue.
He silently hoped that no one would die in this match…
"Begin the match!"
A thick, blue-purple cannon barrel appeared on Ma Rulong's shoulder. The next moment, it erupted with intense blue-purple light.
Xiao Xiafeng's coordination was precise. A one-sided defensive soul shield rose instantly to prevent sneak attacks.
At the same time, he rooted himself to the ground, swiftly deploying the cannon platform strategy.
Clang after clang, a series of cannon barrels appeared on him in rapid succession.
Without a doubt, he intended to unleash his strongest firepower alongside Ma Rulong.
Thanks to his food-type soul master traits, his endurance in prolonged combat was the strongest among all Sun Moon team soul kings.
Ma Rulong's cannon didn't fire directly at Huo Yuhao—it struck the center of the battlefield instead.
Immediately, a blue-purple wall of light sprang up.
This level-6 soul-guided weapon's strongest feature: any contact would stick like a fly on a spider web.
All the electrical energy would instantly recoil.
Ma Rulong's move was meant to buy time!
He needed to unleash his strongest soul-guided weapon!
Huo Yuhao's strength was formidable; this weapon couldn't seriously harm him. But it could restrain him—and that alone counted as a success!
Yet Huo Yuhao ignored the stage entirely. His spiritual eyes glimmered.
"Spirit Strike!"
In just one move, Xiao Xiafeng fell off the stage!
The faster he eliminated opponents, the less time Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen had to recover—perfect for Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luocheng in the next match.
Oh~
Huo Yuhao's tactics were incredibly meticulous!
This gentle man… too impressive!
Seeing his teammate instantly defeated, Ma Rulong cursed inwardly, his expression darkening.
Damn it, how did none of that even hold?
But Huo Yuhao's move also created an opening for Ma Rulong.
He hadn't been taken out!
Ma Rulong drew his golden greatsword, gripping the hilt with both hands, slowly raising it.
Golden light radiated along the blade. From tip to hilt, nine core magic arrays were visible.
Intense golden radiance flashed, with beams of light bursting into the air.
Ma Rulong raised the greatsword overhead. His eyes gradually turned golden as well.
"Awaken… Sword of Judgment."
