Unrivaled Tang Sect: The Beginning of Seizing Huo Yuhao's Body

Chapter 36 The Power of Stars
early morning
As the Shrek Academy team, dressed in dark green uniforms, appeared on Xingluo Square, they caused thunderous cheers. Nearly half an hour before the start of the game, the players from the four teams had all arrived.

The sky gradually brightened. The weather was still good today. The sun shone on the wide Xingluo Square, covering the entire square with a light golden color.

The first day of the semi-finals was a team battle.

To everyone's surprise, a ten-meter-wide red carpet was laid from the direction of the imperial city gate to the front of the competition stage. Ten minutes before the draw, the imperial city gate opened wide, and the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire strode out, surrounded by palace guards, and walked straight to the competition stage.

"Long live, long live, long live!" All the soldiers responsible for maintaining order raised their weapons and shouted long live the mountain.

Four old men stood beside the Emperor of Xingluo Empire, forming a square. At the center of the square, the Emperor, surrounded by four Title Douluo, stepped onto the competition stage. Facing the direction of Xingluo Square, he smiled and said, "My people, please stand up."

"Long live, long live, long live!" Cheers suddenly rang out in Xingluo Square.

"The All-Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition is a grand event held every five years in our Douluo Continent. Today, the semi-finals will begin later, and this All-Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition will also come to an end. The draw for the top four is also the last draw of this competition, so I decided to personally host this draw. I hope that Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Di Ao Academy, and our Xing Luo Empire's Xing Luo National Academy can present you with more exciting competition scenes in the final competition."

"In order to ensure the safety of the players on both sides in the semi-finals and finals, I have decided that in each of the following matches, the Imperial Protector Douluo will serve as the referee and preside over the match. Today's draw and the first match will be presided over by Senior Huang Jinxu, whose title is Tiansha."

The four team captains have come to the stage, and the drawing of lots has begun. Under the gaze of the four titled Douluo, the four captains come before His Majesty the Xingluo Emperor.

Emperor Xing Luo smiled and said, "It's great to meet you young talents. The competition is about to begin. I hope you can complete this competition with friendship first and competition second. Later I will throw out four balls with lottery numbers written on them. You should grab them at the same time. Are you ready?"

"All right."

"Attention." Emperor Xingluo narrowed his eyes slightly. Then, no one saw clearly how he took action. Four golden lights rose into the sky at the same time.

Ma Xiaotao had been ready for this. As soon as Emperor Xingluo made a move, she jumped up and rushed towards the golden ball in the air at the fastest speed. Only Princess Jiujiu did not move and still stood there with a smile on her face.

Ma Xiaotao is worthy of being the captain of Shrek Academy. Even though she is a girl, she exerted force suddenly and her delicate body soared up like a spring. Almost instantly, she grabbed a small ball from the air and dropped it down.

When she began to fall, the captain of Diao Academy and Ma Rulong both succeeded.

The last golden ball fell from the sky, and Princess Jiujiu just stretched out her hand and caught the ball, "I am number one."

Ma Rulong said in a deep voice: "Number two."

Ma Xiaotao's eyes fell directly on Princess Jiujiu's pretty face: "Number one."

At this point, although the Diao Academy has not yet announced the numbers, the draw results have come out. After the Xingluo Emperor personally checked the draw numbers, he announced the results to the public.

"Shrek Academy, Star Luo National Academy, the team battle members are on the field." The person in charge of refereeing today's team battle was indeed the same Heavenly Evil Douluo from before.

Emperor Xingluo had returned to the imperial city under the protection of the other three titled Douluo, and climbed to the top of the city to watch the battle.

Ma Xiaotao walked in the front, followed by Dai Yaoheng, Ling Luochen, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Huo Zhanji and Wang Dong. The two teams stepped onto the competition stage at the same time.

"Both sides retreat. No one is allowed to release their martial spirits before I announce the start of the game."

Players from both teams retreated at the same time, but their eyes were always on each other. However, during the retreat, the formation changed rapidly.

"The game begins." Just as the two sides were paying close attention to their opponents, Tiansha Douluo shouted loudly, and a golden light flashed in the center of the competition stage, and the powerful titled Douluo disappeared.

Xu Sanshi shouted to the sky: "Xuanming Exchange." Then he saw the black light of the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield in his hand shining brightly, and the light was pointing in the direction of Princess Jiujiu.

At this moment, the star crown on Princess Jiujiu's head shone brightly, and her third soul ring lit up. A strong golden light column shot up into the sky, appearing as a golden mist, with starlight swirling and rising in it, looking extremely strange.

Shrek Academy launched the charge at the first possible moment, with Ma Xiaotao leading the way, followed closely by Dai Yuheng and Bei Bei.

Ling Luochen had also summoned the ice staff in her hand. She held it high above her head, emitting a thick ice mist that enveloped Xu Sanshi, herself, Huo Zhanji, and Wang Dong. The four of them were completely hidden in the ice mist.

"I was kidding." Before his figure was swallowed by the icy mist, Xu Sanshi waved at the princess opposite him.

Princess Jiujiu's eyes condensed and she looked at them coldly. The rising golden light mist quickly spread out and enveloped the other six people on her side.

Ma Xiaotao was so fast that in just a short time, she had already rushed to the front of the enemy's formation. The blazing phoenix flame shot up into the sky, and the huge phoenix wings spread out, and a phoenix fire line was spewed out towards the opponent's Soul King right in front of her.

This soul king's name is Huang Heyun. He is able to stand in the front, so he is naturally a strong attack-type soul master. Thick black airflow swirled around his body, his figure was swollen, and his solid muscles bulged. On his forehead, there was actually a word "king" similar to Dai Yueheng's, the Dark Demon Tiger, which was his martial soul.

Facing Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Fire Line, Huang Heyun roared to the sky and rushed forward without hesitation. He punched in the air, and his first soul ring shone with yellow light. Suddenly, a dark golden semi-arc light shield with a diameter of more than one meter burst out in the air, and flames splashed everywhere. However, it was unable to penetrate the light shield even a little bit. The Phoenix Fire Line was blocked head-on.

This scene made Ma Xiaotao stunned for a moment, and the dark wave was already in front of her. The next second, Ma Xiaotao's right palm pressed on the dark wave. With a light "puff" sound, the dark wave shattered instantly. Ma Xiaotao's right hand was burning with flames, and the strong phoenix flame instantly burst out, sweeping directly towards the opponent.

Facing Ma Xiaotao's fierce attack, Huang Heyun retracted his body and sat down slightly. His third soul ring lit up, and his soul power shining with dark golden starlight surged out with a loud tiger roar, turning into a tiger shape and crashing into Ma Xiaotao's phoenix flame.

Huang Heyun was shocked. The blazing flames were already in front of him. He was horrified to find that he felt completely unable to resist.

Just when Huang Heyun was in danger, suddenly, the pressure in front of him was relieved, and Ma Xiaotao's incandescent flame actually deviated to the side and flew into the air.

The one who made the move was a woman standing not far behind Huang Heyun. She looked very ordinary, just like a simple girl, with long dark purple hair draped behind her, five soul rings pulsating on her body, and her right hand was waving in the direction of Ma Xiaotao. It was she who led away the Phoenix Fire Line.

"The talent to control fire?" Ma Xiaotao instantly had the answer in her mind.

At this time, the control-type combat soul king, whose soul power cultivation level was about level 51, pressed his right hand in the direction of Ma Xiaotao. Suddenly, a fiery red halo appeared under Ma Xiaotao's feet. A strong suction force came from under her feet, and the phoenix flame was constantly drawn by the fiery red halo.

At this time, there were some problems with Huo Zhanji's mental detection sharing. The Star Shining Technique cast by Princess Jiujiu's Star Crown interfered with Huo Zhanji's mental detection, causing some deviations in the detection.

While Ma Xiaotao was blocked by the opponent's strong attack and control, the battle between the two sides also started at the same time.

Dai Yaoheng was facing a tall young man whose martial spirit was a lion, the Netherworld Mad Lion.

Beibei was also blocked, but his situation was just the opposite. The one who blocked him was a quick attack type war soul king, whose speed was so fast that it could be said that Beibei had never seen anything like it in his life.

Princess Jiujiu's eyes did not stay on the battle in front of her, she was looking at the thick ice fog that was quickly surrounding her. In the current situation, although Xingluo National Academy relied on the strength of five people to block the opponent's three strong attacking spirit masters, in fact, they were not at a disadvantage. It can be said that Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yuheng and Beibei have occupied half of the combat power of Shrek Academy.

The battle had not been going on for long. Neither side had tried their best. The scariest thing about a team battle was the sudden teamwork. Princess Jiujiu narrowed her eyes and slowly pointed her right hand to the sky. A golden light shone on her fingertips. The star crown on her head shone again.

The golden light suddenly condensed when it approached the protective shield of the competition stage, and then a bright star appeared above Princess Jiujiu's head. The star was not big, but the light was dazzling. The light was not blocked by the ice fog and easily entered it. The light flashed, and most of the light disappeared. Only four rays of light remained, and they were like bridges, guiding Princess Jiujiu. Four light golden figures flickered faintly in the ice fog.

The four people in the ice fog still maintained their previous formation, but they were already very close to the center of the competition area in front. The ice fog on both sides also began to close inward, approaching the competition area.

A loud phoenix cry suddenly rang out from Ma Xiaotao's mouth, and she saw her flaming wings suddenly flapping downwards, and the Dark Demon Tiger War Soul King Huang Heyun in front of her was also forcibly shaken away. At the same time, the ice mist suddenly rose up and rushed towards the center like a wave. A black light also flashed from the ice mist, aiming directly at Princess Jiujiu. Xu Sanshi's long-planned Xuanming Replacement finally took action.

Dai Yuheng also instantly increased his own power to the level of White Tiger Demon God Transformation and pounced on his opponent. Bei Bei on the other side also suddenly exploded, with countless lightning flashes, forcing Lightning Falcon War Soul King to retreat.

However, at this moment, a smile appeared on Princess Jiujiu's face, and a ball of golden light flew out from her hand. That was definitely not a soul skill. The golden light just flashed and hit Ma Xiaotao's terrifying phoenix flame that was rising into the sky.

A layer of golden light shield descended from the sky and instantly rolled back, completely covering Ma Xiaotao's sixth soul skill, the Phoenix Meteor Shower, which she had just released. It then quickly fell down, suppressing Ma Xiaotao herself.

Below the stage, He Caitou stood up suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief, "That, that is an absolute defense soul guide? How is this possible? Absolute defense is at least level seven! They actually used a level seven soul guide. This absolute defense is also disposable. Its value..."

Wang Yan also widened his eyes in shock and asked quickly, "What is the absolute defense soul guide?"

He Caitou said, "It's similar to an invincible shield, but it's a special soul guide that is used in reverse. Once used, within a quarter of an hour, anyone sealed by the absolute defense shield will have to face the protection of an eighth-rank Soul Douluo-level defense soul master." Princess Jiujiu's tactics had obviously been planned long ago. As soon as Ma Xiaotao was trapped, her fourth soul ring lit up, and a ball of intense starlight burst out with her body as the center. This time, the starlight was as bright as the sun and turned into a layer of light shield, forcibly blocking the ice fog out, and only covering her own seven people as well as Dai Yuheng, Beibei and the trapped Ma Xiaotao.

Huang Heyun and Yi Chen, who were originally fighting with Ma Xiaotao, changed their targets of attack to Dai Yueheng without hesitation. The four soul kings launched a siege on him, while Beibei was constantly attacked by the Lightning Falcon Soul King and it was still a problem for him to protect himself.

Princess Jiujiu glanced calmly at the icy mist outside the light shield, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. There was a soul master in front of her, but he never joined the battle.

"Not good." Ling Luochen screamed in the ice mist. She quickly urged the ice mist to rush inward, but the starry light shield blocked the ice mist and did not let it penetrate even a little bit.

On the top of the imperial city, the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire showed a faint smile on his face: "For Shrek, losing the game is not necessarily a bad thing. The Star Guardian of our Xingguan lineage has not appeared on the mainland for who knows how long. I'm afraid that the soul master world has long forgotten this powerful range defense soul skill called attribute isolation."

At this time, the most dangerous person was Dai Yueheng. Without the suppression of the phoenix flame, the Fire Element Soul King Yi Chen put his hands in a circle in front of him, and a flame halo enveloped Dai Yueheng. The Wind Element Control System Battle Soul King Wang Shiying also released a circle of the same halo. The blue and red haloes overlapped and exploded at the same time. With Dai Yueheng's body as the center, a huge column of wind and fire shot up into the sky.

The ice mist released by Ling Luochen has already encompassed the entire Star Guardian, but the eighteen stars on the Star Guardian are only slowly fading one by one.

Wang Dong looked at Huo Zhanji nervously and said, "Huo Zhanji, what should we do now?"

"Don't worry. The princess of the Xingluo Empire is using the power of stars. If there is anyone here who can break her defense, I am the only one. Just leave it to me." Huo Zhanji spread his dragon wings and flew into the air.

"Can the mere power of stars stop me?"

After he finished speaking, Huo Zhanji pointed his right hand towards the sky. The originally clear sky suddenly dimmed, and thirty-five shining stars appeared in the dark sky, emitting endless light.

The spectators and the emperor on the city wall were all shocked to see that Huo Zhan Ji had actually changed the world. You have to know that changing the world is something that only a Titled Douluo can do, and now Huo Zhan Ji is just a Soul Master.

"Stars turn into sea!"

As Huo Zhanji finished his words, the originally shining stars emitted a deep purple aura and then surged in the sky above the competition arena.

“Holy Eyes - Frost Holy Spirit Armor, Eternal Night Form!” Huo Zhanji, who was suspended in the air, instantly had a gray robe on his body and a golden staff in his hand. “Add the power of the stars to my body, and the galaxy will shine brightly.”

Huo Zhanji, in the Eternal Night form, created a home advantage. The thirty-six stars in the sky turned into the most essential energy and poured into Huo Zhanji's body. Then he waved the staff in his hand, and purple starlight continued to appear in the sky above the Guardian of the Stars. As the last star of the thirty-five stars condensed, Huo Zhanji swung the scepter in his hand downwards suddenly.

"Starfall!"

A strange scene then took place. The places where the bright stars fell became extremely dim and were imprinted on the light shield of the Star Guardian at a close distance.

At this moment, the audiences in the audience could only see the magic performed by Huo Zhanji. Princess Jiujiu in the Guardian of the Stars could only sense the positions of the four people outside through her star attraction technique. Princess Jiujiu's attention was all on Dai Yueheng at this moment. Huang Heyun's second attack, the Demonic Tiger Jingtian, was about to hit Dai Yueheng.

This is the key to deciding victory or defeat. As for the four people outside the barrier, in her opinion, at least for now, they cannot pose any threat to her. However, the next moment, Princess Jiujiu's face suddenly changed, and the entire shield turned into the same brilliance as the eighteen stars on the shield.

Princess Jiujiu only vaguely saw the stars falling from above. The next moment, she was shocked to find that her Star Guardian seemed to be melting, and drops of golden liquid slid down the surface of the shield, while the soul power she had been continuously injecting was forcibly interrupted.

"This is impossible!" Her mood at this moment was the same as Dai Yuheng's before, but there is nothing impossible in this world.

At the same time when the Star Guardian had problems, Dai Yuheng also responded to the opponent's strong attack. A ball of blazing white light suddenly burst out from his body, and a huge white tiger shadow appeared above his head and then instantly merged into his body. The first, third, fifth, and sixth soul rings actually shone together.

The one-foot-long golden tiger claws emitted a cold light, and the next moment, his entire body disappeared in the dazzling light that turned from white to gold. A huge word "kill" appeared out of thin air and collided completely with the black tiger transformed by the magic tiger Jingtian.

Huang Heyun and the other four used the Nine Soul Transformation Ceremony to transform the soul

The forces connected together are indeed very strong, but as the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. What Princess Jiujiu did not expect was that during the battle, Huang Heyun's mentality changed, which led to the failure of the second attack that was determined to succeed.

"Idiot." Princess Jiujiu couldn't help but curse.

As the saying goes, one is not to be afraid of god-like opponents, but to be afraid of pig-like teammates. To make matters worse, accompanied by a loud bang, her Star Guardian collapsed.

"Senior Ling, please remove the ice fog." Huo Zhan Jichen said.
"Okay," Ling Luochen responded, and then removed the ice mist.

"Form switch, heavy particle form!"

The gray robe on Huo Zhanji's body instantly turned into a deep red, and the scepter in his hand turned into a red stick. "The next move will be very cool."

The red stick in his hand suddenly shone with golden light, and then Huo Zhanji disappeared out of thin air. The moment he disappeared, Xu Sanshi and Ling Luochen both had the same feeling in their hearts, murderous intent!
The next moment, Huo Zhanji holding a long stick appeared out of nowhere in front of the Star Guardian. The moment he appeared, a strange whimpering sound that had never been heard before sounded in the air, as if the air was crying because of its existence. All the light was annihilated, and even the Star Guardian in front of him seemed to tremble because of his appearance. The next moment, the stick fell.

What Princess Jiujiu saw was the moment when the blood-red stick fell. She suddenly felt as if her chest was hit by a huge force. The star crown on her forehead also made a clanging sound as if it was broken. The diamond-shaped gem in the middle of the star crown actually showed signs of cracks. Then, the Star Guardian collapsed instantly, and the blood disappeared in a flash.

A red light flashed in the air, and the place where the light pointed was the absolute defense shield that trapped Ma Xiaotao. Huo Zhanji tore a hole in it.

"boom--"

The metal ball on top of the absolute defense shield suddenly made a crisp sound. The audience and the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire on the city wall all saw the situation on the competition stage clearly. Their reaction was exactly the same as his sister's. The Emperor of Star Luo blurted out "Impossible" instantly.

Ma Xiaotao's eyes turned blood red, and then the phoenix wings bloomed from behind her again. The absolute defense shield shattered, and Ma Xiaotao's body rushed out directly to meet the four soul masters who were united as one.

At the same time as Ma Xiaotao took action, Dai Yuheng also broke out. His triple-augmented strong physique had already made him the strongest person on the battlefield, and he pounced directly at Princess Jiujiu.

The soul master in front of Princess Jiujiu who had not made any move finally stood up. A pair of huge wings suddenly opened, blocking Dai Yueheng's way like two door panels.

"Get out of the way." Dai Yueheng opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly, rushing forward rudely. He spread his tiger paws to the left and right, and forcibly grabbed the opponent's wings.

The harsh friction sound was accompanied by countless sparks. The two sides were like a complete metal weapon coming into contact. In the harsh friction, although the wings that had turned into hard metal blocked Dai Yueheng's way, Dai Yueheng's sharp golden tiger claws grabbed into the opponent's wings during the friction.

However, this time his attack fell into the air. A powerful suction force suddenly came from the sky, and then the Holy Wings disappeared in front of Dai Yuheng. Only ten long cuts appeared on the wings transformed by his martial spirit.

This time it was the referee who took action. No matter how Dai Yuheng attacked, Shengyi would definitely die. While ensuring Shengyi's safety, it was also equivalent to announcing his departure.

While Dai Yuheng succeeded, Ma Xiaotao also showed everyone that she was the strongest member of the Shrek team except for Huo Zhanji, who was just a cheater. The red flames pushed her body, making her look like a phoenix, a real fire phoenix.

Without the blessing of the Star Shining Technique, the four people led by Huang Heyun paused at the same time. Seeing Ma Xiaotao rushing over forcefully, the inflexibility of the four-in-one team was revealed again. Huang Heyun did not dare to delay, and a black tornado instantly swept towards Ma Xiaotao's body.

After using this attack, Huang Heyun's ability to withstand it was close to its limit. Dugu Shangshan, who was standing behind him, had to withdraw his palms from his body and take over Huang Heyun's position himself. However, the previous four-in-one turned into a three-in-one.

Ma Xiaotao did not choose to fight head-on. She flapped her huge flaming wings suddenly, and while being pulled by the powerful hurricane, her body suddenly accelerated. Although she could not break free from the suction force, a strange scene appeared. It was not that she was sucked into the dark hurricane, but that the dark hurricane was sucked over by her and accelerated to chase Ma Xiaotao.

"Boom--" Amidst the loud roar, the competition venue was engulfed in red flames. Under the violent collision of the previous attack, the three of them were seriously injured. The Nine Soul Transformation Instruments behind them were all shattered. Huang Heyun, who fell to the ground due to the heavy burden on his body, was caught in the air by the referee.

It wasn't just Dai Yuheng and Ma Xiaotao who ended the battle at the same time. On the other side, Bei Bei also defeated his tough opponent. The Lightning Falcon was too fast, and it also had certain lightning abilities. It had strong resistance to Bei Bei's lightning paralysis effect. When the Star Guardian was broken, he was already covered in wounds.

The situation on the field changed from the beginning to the end, in fact, it only took seven or eight breaths.

Six of the seven members of Xingluo National Academy have been killed. Dai Yuheng stood in front of Princess Jiujiu who was staggering backwards, but did not attack her. He just looked at the princess calmly.

Princess Jiujiu was a little dazed. She wanted to say, "My strongest skill has not been used yet." However, she knew very well that it was meaningless.

"Jiujiu, admit defeat." Dai Yuheng said lightly.

Jiujiu said coldly: "I didn't lose to you." After saying this, she turned around and jumped off the stage, announcing the end of this team battle.
