Chapter 203 Sister Ajiao, can your fire poison be extracted?
Even with the protection of an invincible shield, Ma Rulong's condition during the match was still terrible.
The terrifying heat emanating from that extreme fire cannot be completely blocked by a mere invincible shield.
Even though he was practically roasted alive, Ma Rulong stubbornly persisted in his mission and refused to admit defeat.
Through the small data detection soul tool specially brought by Jing Hongchen, the effects of the soul spirit in actual combat are recorded in real time.
Later, unable to bear it any longer, Liehuo Xingjiaoshu became too lazy to play along with Ma Rulong and simply unleashed her 100,000-year soul skill, turning the entire arena into a true inferno once again.
If it weren't for Liehuo Xingjiaoshu slightly controlling her strength at the last moment...
Even if Ma Rulong activated the toughness barrier of that level-six soul tool in time, it would still be instantly vaporized into air by the terrifying high temperature.
As someone who watched the whole thing from the sidelines, Ma Xiaotao really couldn't understand it.
Is there anyone in this world who enjoys being roasted like meat on a fire?
Having displayed her skills and released the accumulated fire poison within her body, Liehuo Xingjiaoshu couldn't stop shaking her enormous cabbage-like body, saying cheerfully:
"Little Peach, your human soul tools are indeed quite remarkable, managing to withstand so many of my attacks. But I am still a cut above the rest."
Watching Ma Rulong being carried away by Old Ma with tears streaming down his face, and then Xuanji Douluo angrily announcing the results of the competition.
As Ma Xiaotao walked off the stage from the other side, she looked at Lie Huoxing Jiaoshu, who had shrunk back to its previous size and was now obediently standing on her shoulder, and asked in a somewhat mysterious tone.
"Sister Ajiao, do you think it's possible to extract your 'fire toxin' and use it for that kind of effect?"
"What kind of effect?"
Liehuo Xingjiao's little head was filled with big question marks, clearly she hadn't kept up with Ma Xiaotao's train of thought.
"It's that kind of..."
Thanks to the expedited repairs by the Earth Attribute Soul Master Corps, the competition stage, which had been almost completely destroyed by Liehuo Xingjiaoshu, was finally restored to its original state.
However, the dense fire element that permeated the air still lingered.
Coupled with the dense crowd at the scene, and amidst the increasingly enthusiastic atmosphere, the team battle between Xingluo Royal Academy and Di'ao Academy officially began.
Huo Yuhao wasn't worried about the outcome of the team battle.
Even without having consumed the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, Xu Jiujiu's existing strategies for dealing with enemies were enough to give the students of Di'ao Academy a headache.
Not to mention now, thanks to the characteristics of the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, Xu Jiujiu has even condensed a star core similar to a soul core.
Her Star Crown Martial Soul, thanks to its Star Core, eliminated many of the original martial soul's drawbacks.
For example, one could not cultivate during the day, but now one can use the power of the stars stored within the star core to cultivate.
Originally, releasing a soul skill also required consuming the star power that one had painstakingly absorbed and stored during the night.
But now, it is equally possible to use the star core to perform any action at will.
What's stored within that star core is the stellar power that the Star Luo Spirit Pearl absorbed and condensed over ten thousand years.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as her meridians can withstand it, even if she squanders it without restraint for hundreds of years, she may not be able to completely deplete the stellar power stored within her.
Just as Huo Yuhao thought, even though Jiang Peng, the captain of Di'ao Academy, was not an arrogant person.
After being drawn against the relatively weaker of the four teams in the finals, Xingluo Royal Academy still showed their opponents sufficient respect on the competition stage.
But when that familiar scene played out again, and Xu Jiujiu used her fourth soul skill, "Star Guardian," to completely divide the Imperial Academy team, the outcome of the battle was already decided.
Moreover, the current Star Guardians now possess more than just those eighteen Venus stars.
Completely separated and isolated within the Starlight Cage, Jiang Peng and the other two Soul King team members were met with a predictable and brutal beating.
Using the Nine Transformations Soul Instrument, a level-five soul tool, the Dark Tiger Soul Master from Star Luo Royal Academy, having gathered the power of his five Soul Kings, utterly defeated Jiang Peng, who possessed the cultivation of a Soul Emperor.
Especially at such a crucial moment, being able to weaken the opponent's main players to the greatest extent in team battles will be even more advantageous in tomorrow's individual elimination battles.
In addition, Xuanji Douluo, who served as the referee for this match, was also a member of the Star Luo Empire.
As long as the contestants from Di'ao Academy do not voluntarily admit defeat, he has no intention of intervening and simply observes from the sidelines.
As a result, when the long-lasting effect of the "Star Guardian" soul skill ended, the three main players from Di'ao Academy were practically beaten beyond recognition, and they almost met their great-grandfathers ahead of time.
Under Xu Jiujiu's control, the remaining four contestants from Di'ao Academy were all more vulnerable control and support-type Soul Masters.
Facing the Star Luo Royal Academy team, which had suffered virtually no damage, it was like a lamb encountering a hungry wolf.
If it weren't for the instructor from Di'ao Academy shouting "I'm done!" from the sidelines, all seven members of the Di'ao Academy team would probably have been carried out on their own today.
It was under these circumstances that, seeing the miserable state of their team's main players, the coach of Di'ao Academy, after careful consideration, decided to give up on the upcoming individual competition.
Thus, the semi-finals of this year's Soul Master Tournament have come to an early close.
The highly anticipated final will be held as scheduled two days later.
The night was as dark as ink. After two days of intense and fierce competition, the semi-finals came to a complete end.
With the final match just around the corner, the ancient city of Xingluo City has not cooled down under the cool moonlight; on the contrary, it has become even more bustling.
Especially outside Xingluo Square, there was an endless queue, with countless people hoping to snag a ticket to the finals.
As the host of this year's Soul Master Competition, the vast majority of those who came to watch the competition were citizens of the Star Luo Empire.
The fact that Xingluo Royal Academy was able to reach the finals again after many years and compete against Shrek Academy for the championship shows just how attractive it is to the people of Xingluo.
Being able to witness this final match in person will likely be a memorable experience for them for the rest of their lives.
In order to maintain order in the ticket purchasing process, Xu Jiawei urgently transferred 10,000 elite soldiers from outside the city to the city to maintain order.
All the shops in the city spontaneously extended their business hours to meet the needs of tourists who had come from afar.
For a time, the entire Xingluo City remained brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Outside Xingluo City, about fifty miles to the northwest, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, which covers an area of more than three thousand acres, no longer has the lively atmosphere of the past.
The entire mansion was deserted and quiet; even the maids and servants who were usually everywhere were rarely seen.
As Huo Yuhao walked into the main residence of the White Tiger Duke's mansion, looking at the scenes that were both strange and familiar along the way, his eyes seemed to remain largely undisturbed.
Xu Jiujiu, who was standing next to Huo Yuhao, subconsciously suppressed her charming expression as she watched the increasingly intense cold aura emanating from her little man, and her pretty face became more serious.
"Yuhao, all the people in the White Tiger Duke's mansion who have close ties with the White Tiger lineage have been taken into custody by us."
Moreover, before leaving, Dai Hao specifically instructed his men to keep a close watch on the Duchess. This saved us some trouble.
After a pause, and after hesitating for a long time, she seemed to have organized her thoughts before asking softly.
"But what about your brother, Delori?"
Huo Yuhao paused slightly, and then his gentle voice slowly rang out again.
"His mother helped my mother and me during the most difficult times."
After hearing this, Xu Jiujiu nodded gently and said softly:
"I understand. I will report this matter to my elder brother later. After all, the Star Luo Empire still needs a White Tiger Duke's Mansion in name only."
If given a choice, Xu Jiawei would naturally want to completely fill in the huge pit left by his ancestors.
As a symbol of the friendship between the two families after the abdication, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion is, after all, a symbol that has deeply penetrated the hearts of the people of the Star Luo Empire.
In addition, there is the Sun and Moon Empire watching from the sidelines with covetous eyes.
Even through the evidence of collusion between Duke White Tiger and several major Western nobles, which was collected on the western border by Shattered Star Douluo.
It has even gotten to the point where the Duke of White Tiger can command a large following on the western border and directly ascend the throne to establish a new country.
However, in order to maintain stability within the empire, Xu Jiawei could not simply remove the White Tiger Duke's Mansion from the list all at once.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao's younger brother, Dai Luoli, although he did not inherit the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul, can still be considered a direct descendant.
The Star Luo royal family can naturally use him to complete the succession plan for the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
When he gets older, he will betroth one of the royal family's collateral relatives to Delori.
So after a few more generations, this so-called White Tiger Duke's Mansion will eventually be surnamed Xu.
At this moment, inside the White Tiger Duke's mansion.
Even though she was over forty, the Duchess, who usually maintained herself to be radiant and beautiful, had an expression of barely suppressed anxiety on her face.
She wandered through the vast inner courtyard corridors, eventually entering a rather magnificent courtyard.
Without even knocking, he pushed the door open and barged in.
Dai Huabin, who was lying in bed, struggled to sit up after hearing the door being suddenly pushed open.
Under the illumination of the activated soul-guiding lamp, it was clear that Dai Huabin appeared unusually listless compared to a year ago.
Her once long, golden hair had mostly become dry and brittle, resembling straw.
It is easy to imagine how enormous the impact of the complete loss of his martial spirit origin, coupled with the severe damage to his spiritual sea, was on him.
Especially the immense sense of loss felt by a genius who has fallen from the clouds to the mud overnight.
If he hadn't still firmly believed that his father would make Huo Yuhao suffer eternal damnation, he probably would have died long ago.
Upon seeing that the person who had come was his mother, Dai Huabin forced himself to muster some strength and weakly asked, "Mother, what happened? Has Father agreed to seek justice for his son?"
Seeing her child still in such a miserable state, and hearing about it every time, the Duchess could no longer stop the tears from flowing from her eyes.
Despite her immense grief, she revealed the truth that she had kept hidden for over half a month.
"Hua Bin, my child. Now that Huo Yuhao has climbed up to the Star Luo royal family, how could your heartless father possibly stand up for you? He abandoned us long ago and ran away with your older brother."
Half a month ago, after Dai Hao left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion with Dai Yueheng, the Duchess realized that she was being held under house arrest in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
After all, she came from a prominent family, so how could she not guess Dai Hao's intentions under these circumstances?
But deep down, she still held onto a sliver of hope, hoping that Dai Hao wouldn't go to such extremes.
No matter what, Dai Huabin is his own flesh and blood.
Could he just stand by and watch his own son die?
To this day, the entire White Tiger Duke's mansion has been quietly brought under control.
The Duchess suddenly realized that if she didn't find a way to save herself, she and her son might not see the sun rise tomorrow.
Upon hearing this shocking truth, Dai Huabin's body trembled slightly.
His face turned deathly pale in an instant, as he felt that the only pillar of his faith had completely collapsed.
She kept muttering to herself, "Impossible, Father wouldn't do that... Mother, tell me, you must be lying to me, right...?"
"My child, my silly child..."
Seeing Dai Huabin's increasingly miserable appearance, the Duchess felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
But she also knew that time was now extremely tight.
If they don't use the hidden passage inside the mansion to get Dai Huabin out as soon as possible, they'll probably perish here tonight.
With that thought in mind, the Duchess no longer cared about saying anything more to Dai Huabin. She immediately raised her hand, intending to knock him unconscious.
But before her hand could land, a calm, almost indifferent voice suddenly rang out in the room.
Where are you headed?
