Chapter 368: Shrek's Complete Defeat
With all their members attacking together, victory over Huo Yuhao was practically guaranteed.
Initially, Cai Mei'er had worried that the Sun Moon team would rush in to support Huo Yuhao.
However, it was clear that Xu Sanshi's stalling tactics had worked perfectly, keeping Sun Moon's other members from interfering.
"Once our students win this match, we can throw a celebration banquet an early victory party for preserving Shrek Academy's ten thousand year glory!"
With that thought, Cai Mei'er's face lit up with confidence.
To her, Sun Moon's team was a collapsing building, and Huo Yuhao was its central pillar.
"All we have to do is kick down the pillar, and the whole structure will crumble."
At that moment, Wu Feng and Xie Huan Yue activated their flight type soul tools, exchanging glances before charging toward Huo Yuhao from both sides.
Their strategy was simple overwhelm him with numbers.
Yet, Huo Yuhao remained completely still, his breathing steady, as if their attack posed no threat at all.
In reality, it didn't.
If he wanted to, he could end this fight instantly.
He hadn't even activated a single defensive soul tool.
For someone far stronger than his opponents, the best defense was overwhelming offense.
Wu Feng hesitated slightly.
Why was Huo Yuhao so calm?
How could he be this confident?
Shrek's combined attack should have been unstoppable in any tournament setting.
Even a genius like Huo Yuhao should have limits.
"Maybe he plans to use his Invincible Shield to survive this attack?"
"But even that won't last forever Heavenly Net has a long duration!"
Determined, Wu Feng pushed more soul power into her flight type soul tool, accelerating toward him.
Above them, a massive blue hair net descended like a tidal wave
It was the Heavenly Net, its immense power completely enveloping the battlefield.
The Audience Holds Its Breath
The spectators watching from the stands were on edge.
After all, Huo Yuhao was the core of Sun Moon's team
He was also the reigning champion of the last Soul Master Tournament.
If he was eliminated, Sun Moon was doomed.
For the citizens of Sun Moon, this was unacceptable.
"Last time, we finally won the championship! If we fail to defend the title in our own capital especially by losing in the quarterfinals people will say our victory was just luck!"
There were already many Shrek loyalists within Sun Moon Empire who believed that Shrek was unbeatable.
If they wanted to shatter that myth, they had to crush Shrek Academy here and now.
Huo Yuhao Counterattacks
Huo Yuhao raised his head, gazing calmly at the descending Heavenly Net.
Then, two figures emerged beside him
Snow Empress and Ice Empress.
The moment they appeared, the temperature dropped sharply.
From within Huo Yuhao's sleeve, a faint glow pulsed
The Eight Pointed Mysterious Ice Grass spirit soul appeared, shaking its leaves as a powerful ice amplification skill activated.
This wasn't just any ice type boost
It directly strengthened his Absolute Ice, amplifying the power of his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul.
The temperature plummeted even further.
Hovering in midair, Ning Tian shivered, quickly activating a thermal soul tool to keep warm.
Then
A blizzard erupted across the battlefield.
Snowflakes the size of feathers filled the air.
The howling winds of an ice storm swept through the arena.
This was Snow Empress and Ice Empress's combined attack
"Pride of the Two Ice Empresses".
Now, enhanced by the Eight Pointed Mysterious Ice Grass, its power had increased dramatically.
Shrek's Collapse
The ice storm tore through Shrek's attack.
The hurricane like gales engulfed Wu Feng and Xie Huan Yue before they could even react
In an instant, their bodies froze into solid ice, falling from the sky like stone statues.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Net attack shattered
Cracks spread across the frozen net before it completely disintegrated.
BOOM!
Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo spat out mouthfuls of blood, their faces turning pale.
Being forcefully interrupted during a Martial Soul Fusion Skill caused severe backlash.
The devastating ice storm pressed forward, freezing both of them along with Ning Tian.
Their bodies turned into ice sculptures, crashing to the ground.
From the referee's seat, Zheng Zhan's expression changed.
If any Shrek students died here, he would be held responsible.
Activating his speed based abilities, he rushed to save them, ensuring they weren't fatally injured before removing them from the match.
Now, Shrek had only one fighter left Xu Sanshi.
But he was already on the ground, severely injured, with Di Qiu'er's Golden Dragon Spear at his throat.
The remaining Sun Moon members surrounded him, weapons aimed at his defenseless body.
Zheng Zhan descended from the sky, confirming that Xu Sanshi was completely out of the fight.
That meant
Shrek Academy had been eliminated.
With a broad smile, Zheng Zhan raised his voice:
"Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy is victorious! They advance to the semifinals!"
Cai Mei'er's Disbelief
Back in the Shrek waiting area, Cai Mei'er's face paled.
"How is this possible?!"
She felt like everything she had planned had crumbled into dust.
The result was completely beyond her expectations.
"Shrek Academy has never been eliminated in the quarterfinals before! We are the number one soul master academy how could we lose like this?!"
As she stood there in stunned silence, the reality of defeat began to sink in.
Shrek's ten thousand year reign of dominance had come to an end.
