"Damn it! Second Spirit Ability—White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"
Dai Huabin unleashed his second Spirit Ability, firing out a concentrated blast of white light!
Wang Dong remained completely unmoved. She casually swung the Clear Sky Hammer in her hand and shattered the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave with ease.
"So you still refuse to accept defeat? Then take this! Clear Sky Nine Absolutes—Crash Formula!"
Like a meteor striking the earth, mountains collapsing before one's eyes—
Crash Formula!
Wang Dong unleashed one of the techniques of the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, intending to decide the match in a single strike!
At that moment, it almost seemed as though the character for "death" appeared above Dai Huabin's head.
"The legendary Clear Sky Nine Absolutes?! Not good!"
The referee teacher immediately sensed danger and rushed into the arena.
Clang!
Wang Dong's Clear Sky Hammer smashed into the referee teacher's arm. Cracks instantly spread across the ground beneath his feet, a clear indication of just how terrifying the hammer strike had been.
"What incredible hammer techniques! This match—Wang Dong wins!"
Even the referee teacher's arms trembled slightly. He had never expected the Clear Sky Hammer to be this powerful. As expected of the number one tool Martial Soul under heaven. If Wang Dong's cultivation had been just a little higher, he feared his arm might not have survived that strike intact.
Wang Dong withdrew the Clear Sky Hammer and looked at Dai Huabin.
"Hmph! That was boring. You weren't even as durable as refined heavy silver. So this is the White Tiger Martial Soul? Pathetic. You're far too weak!"
Dai Huabin's arms hung limply at his sides as he stared fixedly at Wang Dong's back.
Yet he knew very clearly—
If the referee teacher hadn't intervened, he would never have dodged that hammer strike.
If it had landed, even if he survived, he would've been severely injured.
Wang Dong returned to the waiting room, where Su Yunlin was already waiting for her.
The moment she entered, she threw herself into his arms.
There was no one else here, so there was no need to worry about prying eyes.
"Yunlin, was I amazing?"
Wang Dong buried her face in Su Yunlin's chest, rubbing against him repeatedly.
Su Yunlin gently rubbed her head. Clearly, this silly goose wanted praise.
"You were amazing~ My Tongtong is the best."
"Hehe!"
Wang Dong leaned comfortably against him, thoroughly enjoying the feeling.
Su Yunlin lightly stroked her cheek.
"Now watch my performance."
"Okay!"
Su Yunlin walked onto the dueling stage.
Meanwhile, Dai Huabin was still standing there in a daze, doubting his entire life.
"Dai Huabin, do you still have the courage to fight another match with me?"
Su Yunlin stood there with his arms crossed.
Dai Huabin looked over, and the disdain in Su Yunlin's eyes instantly ignited his fury.
"Bring it on!"
Su Yunlin smiled faintly before turning toward the referee.
"Referee, my cultivation is already at the Spirit Ancestor rank, far above Dai Huabin's. I request that Zhu Lu be allowed onto the stage to perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill together with him."
The referee froze.
Even Dai Huabin was stunned.
"You're sure?" the referee asked.
"I'm sure."
The referee thought for a moment.
"I'll go ask the higher-ups whether they approve your request."
With that, he left.
After all, the Soul Dueling Area had never really seen a one-versus-two challenge before. Most duels here were strictly one-on-one matches.
Dai Huabin stared fixedly at Su Yunlin.
Su Yunlin merely snorted.
"You keep looking at me like that. What, are you planning to defeat me with your eyes alone? Stubbornness, anger… that look in your eyes begging not to be humiliated. Heh… what weak eyes."
"You…!"
The psychological defenses in Dai Huabin's heart were already on the verge of collapse.
Not long after, the referee returned alongside a teacher who appeared even stronger than him.
"Student Su Yunlin, your request has been approved. Student Zhu Lu, please enter the stage!"
As the referee spoke, Zhu Lu leapt down from the spectator stands and immediately rushed to Dai Huabin's side to support him.
She glared furiously at Su Yunlin.
Su Yunlin nodded before looking back toward the referee.
"Referee, is there a healing-type teacher available? Restore Dai Huabin to his peak condition. I don't want him having any excuses afterward."
The referee was speechless.
Still, he approved the request.
Soon after, a healing-type Spirit Sage arrived and effortlessly restored Dai Huabin to peak condition. His trembling arms finally steadied.
"Very well! The duel begins!"
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu immediately entered battle stances.
"Hurry up and use your Martial Soul Fusion. If you fight me separately, you'll just get instantly defeated."
Su Yunlin still hadn't released his Martial Soul. He merely rolled up the sleeve on his right arm.
"Su Yunlin, you brought this upon yourself! Zhu Lu—Hell White Tiger!"
Dai Huabin roared.
His body expanded once more as white fur mixed with black tiger stripes erupted from his body.
Zhu Lu nodded.
A faint black glow covered her body, making her seem almost transparent as she leapt toward Dai Huabin with open arms.
In an instant, the two fused together.
The aura of the White Tiger and the Hell Spirit Cat completely merged, and violent waves of Spirit Power erupted from within their combined form like a volcanic explosion.
A gigantic white tiger appeared in the arena.
The greatest weapon of the Star Luo Empire since ancient times—
The Hell White Tiger!
Su Yunlin looked at the massive beast and nodded slightly.
Then he casually shifted his stance, his left hand still adjusting the rolled-up sleeve on his right arm.
Roar!
The Hell White Tiger let out a furious roar and lunged toward Su Yunlin.
Yet Su Yunlin remained standing calmly in place.
The sight caused the referee teacher's heart to leap into his throat.
Then—
Su Yunlin moved.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared directly before the Hell White Tiger.
His right palm pressed against the tiger's head.
Then, using that very force, he flipped gracefully through the air and landed smoothly on the ground.
Behind him—
The Hell White Tiger suddenly slowed.
Then, in the very next second, it completely dispersed.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu separated from the fusion state and collapsed stiffly onto the ground.
The victor was obvious.
Silence filled the entire arena.
Even the referee teacher was stunned.
Just moments ago, he had been wondering whether he needed to intervene to prevent Su Yunlin from getting injured.
Yet Su Yunlin had displayed speed even greater than his own and defeated the Hell White Tiger instantly.
That was the Hell White Tiger!
A legendary Martial Soul Fusion Skill passed down for over ten thousand years within the Star Luo Empire. The Dai and Zhu families had always remained among the empire's most important clans precisely because of this fusion skill.
The Hell White Tiger held extraordinary significance within the Star Luo Empire.
Even this referee teacher, a Spirit Sage himself, would have had to face Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's Hell White Tiger seriously.
Yet it had been defeated with a single palm strike.
"Referee, announce the result."
Su Yunlin flicked his hand casually, letting the rolled-up sleeve fall back into place.
His expression remained calm as he looked toward the referee.
"I announce—the winner is Su Yunlin!"
With his hands in his pockets, Su Yunlin casually walked toward the waiting room.
Only then did the entire arena erupt into chaos.
Defeating the Hell White Tiger with a single palm strike!
Just how powerful was he?!
He hadn't even released his Martial Soul—so how could he already be this terrifying?
Xu Sanshi stared in shock.
"Bei Bei… is this guy seriously that strong? Dear god, he's a monster."
Bei Bei sighed deeply.
"Yeah. Even among the inner court, Su Yunlin would still be considered a monster among monsters. And that move he just used…"
Bei Bei was certain.
That move was his great-grandfather's Sovereign Over the World.
Though there were slight differences, he still recognized it immediately.
"This is absolutely heaven-defying. Even Dean Yan couldn't accomplish something like that, yet he did it. What a monster."
Huo Yuhao stared at Su Yunlin's departing figure, his eyes sparkling with admiration.
"The class monitor is so strong! When will I ever become as powerful as him?"
Inside Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, the Skydream Iceworm shouted loudly,
"Yuhao, that human is strange. Ridiculously strong. Even I can't guarantee whether you'd ever be able to beat him. And there's also some kind of bizarre aura around him."
Even Skydream Iceworm had never seen someone this absurd.
...
Back in the arena—
Dai Huabin slowly struggled to his feet.
The world around him seemed to spin uncontrollably.
What had he just felt?
That wasn't an ordinary palm strike.
That strike had completely destroyed his courage to stand against Su Yunlin.
It shattered his pride.
It shattered his dignity.
And in the next moment, tears began pouring uncontrollably from his eyes.
"I'll never defeat him in this lifetime."
