Chapter 94: A Blasting Finale

However, as time passed, the Star Protection of Xu Jiujiu did not dissipate; instead, the still-flickering Star Protection became even brighter.

This situation was also within Su Yu's expectations; on the person of Xu Jiujiu opposite, there were definitely other things, such as soul bones or the like. Once a ten-thousand-year soul skill is spread too thin, its power ultimately cannot reach that level of terrifying strength.

At the same time, a smile appeared on Princess Jiujiu's face. It seemed she had been waiting, or rather, looking forward to the arrival of this moment.

Watching Xu Jiujiu's appearance, Su Yu also realized something was wrong and secretly notified Xu Sanshi, who was still protecting Ling Luochen, to immediately use Xuanming Displacement once Ma Xiaotao showed any unusual movement.

A ball of golden light was flung from her hand; it was definitely not a soul skill. The golden light flashed once and collided with the terrifying phoenix flames that Ma Xiaotao had sent soaring into the sky.

A bizarre scene occurred: a layer of golden light shield descended from the sky and instantly rolled backward, actually forcibly completely enveloping the Phoenix Meteor Shower, the Sixth Soul Skill that Ma Xiaotao had already released, and rapidly descended, suppressing Ma Xiaotao herself within it, actually suppressing her strongest soul skill just like that.

Ma Xiaotao only felt a sense of suffocation descend from the sky. She wanted to dodge, but the golden light instantly tracked her down and suppressed her within it.

At the same time, just as Ma Xiaotao was about to land, a strange ripple appeared around her. Xu Sanshi, holding his shield, instantly appeared there, while Ma Xiaotao appeared in Xu Sanshi's position.

Not only was Ma Xiaotao somewhat surprised, but even the expression of Xu Jiujiu opposite stiffened. Clearly, it was a done deal, yet it was forcibly intercepted by Xu Sanshi. What on earth had happened?

Logically speaking, this was simply impossible to achieve; the speed of that level-seven Absolute Defense Soul Guidance Device should never have allowed them to be prepared.

Who was it? Who exactly was commanding them?

The confusion in Xu Jiujiu's heart grew greater. Ma Xiaotao was not trapped, and she could not retrieve her Soul Guidance Device for a while. It was precisely because of Ma Xiaotao's escape that the defense-system Soul Master behind Xu Jiujiu, who had never made a move, also joined the battle.

That Absolute Defense Soul Guidance Device was a one-time use item; they had truly spent a fortune to win. But what they did not expect was that on Shrek's side, there was a Su Yu who knew the plot.

In the original work, the "low-intelligence" aspect of this battle was that Ling Luochen was completely just tagging along. As a control-system Battle Soul King, she had absolutely no achievements. Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yaoheng, and Bei Bei became the main attackers, which was simply absurd.

However, with Huo Yuhao's support, Ling Luochen now erupted with powerful attack strength. Although she could not cause much damage to the other side, she could completely restrict the actions and attacks of everyone on the other side to a great extent.

"Not good, protect the Princess!"

The defense-system Soul King, who was struggling to resist Ma Xiaotao's attack, suddenly shouted.

Little did they know, at this moment, Su Yu had already used the previously scattered fragments to appear at the place where Xu Jiujiu was flying rapidly. As the saying goes, to catch the bandits, first catch the king.

Some things have unexpectedly amazing effects; even Xu Jiujiu herself did not notice that Su had arrived behind her so quickly.

Looking at Su Yu's brazen smile, Xu Jiujiu's face began to change from surprise to shock. At this moment, Xu Jiujiu finally began to pay attention to this young man.

In a short instant, Su Yu used the scattered fragments to dodge several attacks; even the two female control-system Soul Kings could not hit Su Yu.

"Quick, stop him! You must not let him get close to Her Highness the Princess!"

Su Yu's appearance caused the six people who were barely holding on to begin to panic. Once they lost Xu Jiujiu's amplification, they could not possibly hold out for long in the hands of Dai Yaoheng and Ma Xiaotao.

For this reason, they had to start returning to defend, but how would Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yaoheng give them the chance? Dai Yaoheng had already used almost all his soul skills at this moment, forcibly dragging three people by himself, while Ma Xiaotao relied on her powerful attack strength to completely restrict the two people on the other side.

The only place where an accident occurred was with Bei Bei. The Lightning Falcon Battle Soul King Chen Xiaojie had already left the battlefield and was rapidly chasing toward where Su Yu was. However, the moment Su Yu approached Xu Jiujiu, a dazzling light lit up again.

Damn it, how many pay-to-win items do you have on you? This is another Invincible Protective Shield!

The protective shield previously used on Ma Xiaotao was similar to an Invincible Protective Shield, but it was a special Soul Guidance Device used in reverse. Once used, within a quarter of an hour, the person sealed by the Absolute Defense shield would have to face the protection of an eighth-rank Soul Douluo-level defense-system Battle Soul Master.

This kind of Soul Guidance Device can currently only be produced by the Sun Moon Empire. Its core array is extremely secret; let alone the Three Great Empires, they don't even have the possibility of producing it.

Yet this thing actually appeared at the tournament. The fundamental reason was that it was brought out to purchase the Snow Empress Embryo; otherwise, this kind of top-secret level item would basically be impossible to circulate on the market.

This kind of Absolute Defense shield has long been hyped up to the level of millions of Gold Soul Coins. Its price has basically surpassed the price of some soul bones. However, it is actually true: with it in hand, when facing a crisis, it is equivalent to having an extra life.

Moreover, this kind of Soul Guidance Device is also extremely convenient to carry; its size itself is just a bead. In summary, this thing is an upgraded version of the Invincible Protective Shield.

And what Xu Jiujiu is using now is the Invincible Protective Shield. Three seconds of time seems short, but it is enough for the Lightning Falcon Battle Soul King Chen Xiaojie to intercept Su Yu.

Just when it was thought that Su Yu's assault would fail here, a reversal appeared in the next second. Su Yu stood quietly in front of Xu Jiujiu, turning to look at the approaching Lightning Falcon Battle Soul King Chen Xiaojie.

When Chen Xiaojie appeared in front of Su Yu, a familiar fluctuation came from the other end of the battlefield; it was the Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannon that Su Yu was still controlling!

Those two Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannons erupted with dazzling incandescent light. After the Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannons finished charging, an aura that even made Ma Xiaotao feel fear slowly emanated from the cannons.

Let alone Dai Yaoheng, even Ma Xiaotao dodged to the side. Su Yu, who had been ignored by everyone, had actually driven two peak fourth-rank Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannons with his own strength. One must know that He Cai Tou previously found it extremely strenuous to activate one Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannon.

Now, those two Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannons had actually completed all charging without anyone noticing. The power of the Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannons was naturally obvious to all. Now, the power of two Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannons was something that even Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yaoheng dared not face head-on, which shows the terror of the power of these Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannons.

"Not good, hurry and dodge!"

"Run quickly..."

…………

The originally orderly Di'ao Academy instantly collapsed. That terrifying Soul Guidance Ray instantly swept across the place where Di'ao Academy was located, and even Chen Xiaojie forcibly stopped his figure, having to give up on intercepting Su Yu.

The next instant, the defense-system Soul King was blasted off the competition stage in the blink of an eye. If the referee hadn't made a move to save him, he could not possibly have withstood the attack of two Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannons.

Even more terrifying things were yet to come. Two terrifying pure white beams of light cleared an extremely spacious space on the stage and finally landed directly on Xu Jiujiu.

A full four or five seconds passed before these terrifying pure white beams of light disappeared from the stage, and Xu Jiujiu opposite had wasted two Invincible Protective Shields for this.

When the beams of light dissipated, a short sword was already held against Xu Jiujiu's neck.

"Everyone, apologies, the outcome is decided."

Su Yu said indifferently. Su Yu grabbed Xu Jiujiu's neck and threw her off the stage. If it weren't for the Emperor still being on the stage, Su Yu would have really liked to beat this woman up and kick her down.

The dignity of the royal family also needs to be considered; Su Yu's method can only be said to be a relatively common assassination technique.

After these two terrifying Soul Guidance Cannons, which had been charging for so long, were fired, Su Yu's clone also disappeared, replaced by a strong sense of weakness. Almost the vast majority of Su Yu's soul power was consumed by the Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannons. Having lost a large amount of soul power in a short time, Su Yu could not even maintain his Second Soul Skill.

Having lost Xu Jiujiu, and also losing a defense-system Soul King, even one of the fire-attribute control-system Battle Soul Kings, Yi Chen, was taken out by the Title Douluo because she did not dodge in time.

One Su Yu wasted three crucial figures of Di'ao Academy; whether this was a coincidence or a tactic, presumably no one knows.

The defeat of Di'ao Academy in this battle was set. Having lost Xu Jiujiu and the defense-system Soul King, plus a control-system Battle Soul King, Yi Chen, they could not possibly achieve victory under the siege of Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yaoheng, and Ling Luochen!

Finally, the four of them seemed to have made some difficult decision. The leader, Chen Xiaojie, slowly said: "We concede!"

Shrek won, achieving victory once again. This victory was won in an exceptionally bizarre way. It's hard to say whether it was because Shrek's absolute strength was too strong or what, but anyway, whether it was Wang Yan or His Majesty the Emperor on the stage, they all had a feeling of being speechless.

The match was over, and Xu Jiujiu opposite had also been beaten into having psychological trauma. Two beams from the Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannons directly consumed two of Xu Jiujiu's Invincible Protective Shields, and in the end, she was grabbed by the neck and thrown off the stage by the kid she had always looked down upon. This was simply losing face to the ends of the earth...

Breaking the Star Protection, then breaking the Absolute Defense shield, two breaks in succession, completely disintegrating the strategy and tactics of the Star Luo National Academy.

Huo Yuhao's consumption was not great; the one with the greatest consumption was still Ma Xiaotao, because she had indeed been following Su Yu's strategy, attacking with all her might, and she was not polite at all when she made her moves. Even if the other side hadn't been cleared by Su Yu's Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannons, they had been beaten into a chaotic mess by Ma Xiaotao.

However, the expected thing came: a pair of scorching hands pulled Huo Yuhao over and pulled him directly toward her.

"Give him to me." Ma Xiaotao's entire aura became violent and scorching again. In essence, it was the Evil Fire acting up, but it was also within expectations. After such an all-out eruption, it would be a ghost if the Evil Fire didn't act up. After pulling Huo Yuhao over, she hugged him directly in her arms and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

Xu Sanshi, standing beside Bei Bei, twitched the corner of his mouth, sighed, and said: "I sympathize with Yu Hao, but I also want to praise him. Ever since he came, Sister Xiaotao never bothers me again."

"You should just gloat; if it weren't for Huo Yuhao taking on the heavy responsibility of suppressing your Evil Fire, you wouldn't be doing much better. You really ought to thank Huo Yuhao properly!"

Su Yu, standing to the side, spoke slowly. Only then did everyone turn their attention to Su Yu. It had to be said that this youth's decision-making ability and capacity for on-the-spot adaptation were completely superior to everyone else's. In this regard, he had invisibly become the group's decision-maker, holding a position of importance even above Wang Yan, the teacher leading the team.

However, in terms of losses, the only problem on Su Yu's side remained Ma Xiaotao and her flare-ups, but with Huo Yuhao there, there was absolutely nothing to worry about.

As for Xu Sanshi, he had been trapped inside the Absolute Defense Soul Guidance Device from start to finish, essentially slacking off. Ling Luochen only had somewhat high soul power consumption, and Dai Yaoheng and Su Yu were the same; none of them were injured. The only one with serious injuries was Bei Bei, who had been clawed all over with superficial wounds...

Although it looked miserable, it was entirely the type of "scraping" attack that dealt little damage but was extremely insulting, so after the opponent conceded, the look Bei Bei gave Chen Xiaojie was exceptionally resentful.

But the opposing side was different: the Defense System Soul King was heavily injured, the Control System Battle Soul Master Yichen was heavily injured, and the Nether Mad Lion Dugu Shangshan had also been beaten by Dai Yaoheng until he suffered internal injuries. The most miserable ones were Huang Heyun and the wind-attribute Control System Soul King who had fought against Ma Xiaotao; if they hadn't conceded quickly, they likely would have been carried off.

The only ones on the Di'ao Academy side who were relatively intact were Xu Jiujiu and Chen Xiaojie. As for the subsequent individual elimination rounds, they basically had no hope left, which meant they could only go on to compete for third place. If they couldn't even secure third place as the hosts, it would likely be a bit embarrassing.

The match ended, and the group left the competition stage. When Su Yu stepped down, He Cai Tou looked at Su Yu with eyes sparkling like stars and said, "Su Yu, next time, can you let me try what it feels like to fire two peak fourth-level Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannons?"

If one were to talk about Soul Guidance Devices, He Cai Tou was definitely the one with the deepest feelings on the matter. Last time, he had forcibly activated an Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannon, which resulted in him suffering a backlash. If given enough preparation time, He Cai Tou could also successfully fire one without getting injured.
