Both sides had already entered the arena.
On Shrek Academy's side, the lineup for this match consisted of Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Xu Sanshi, Huo Yuhao, Su Yunlin, and Wang Dong.
Chen Zifeng did not participate because his role in a team battle was not as significant as Xu Sanshi's and Huo Yuhao's. In terms of offensive power, they already had Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng. Su Yunlin and Wang Dong served as hidden trump cards, while Huo Yuhao could assist Ling Luochen in controlling the entire battlefield. Xu Sanshi's Xuanwu Substitution also possessed exceptional utility.
Wang Yan had deliberated over this lineup for a long time before finalizing it. Their average cultivation might have been lower than that of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, but the effectiveness of the team composition was absolutely not inferior.
"Both sides, take your positions! Match begin!"
The moment Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu gave the order, Shrek Academy instantly erupted with astonishing Spirit Power.
Ma Xiaotao was the first to soar into the air. As phoenix flames ignited around her, the crimson armor on her body emitted dazzling brilliance.
"Sixth Spirit Ability—Phoenix Meteor Shower!"
"Fourth Spirit Ability—White Tiger Meteor Shower!"
"Fourth Spirit Ability—Frozen Mist of Nether Chill!"
Against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's soul tools, they had to unleash their fiercest attacks before the enemy could fully activate them.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Eternal Night Dawn!"
Su Yunlin and Wang Dong clasped hands, and their bodies fused together once more, transforming into that sacred figure resembling a star-filled cosmos.
Buzz—
In the next instant, a pitch-black hammer suddenly appeared out of thin air within Eternal Night Dawn's hand!
"What?! The Clear Sky Hammer?! This…"
Xu Jiawei cried out in shock. It was already outrageous enough that Su Yunlin and Wang Dong could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but now they could actually summon the Clear Sky Hammer as well?
This was the ingenious aspect of Eternal Night Dawn.
After Su Yunlin and Wang Dong unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Darknight Monarch Butterfly and the Radiant Goddess Butterfly fused together, combining the two into one and unleashing even greater power.
This was one of Eternal Night Dawn's unique properties.
Because both possessed twin Martial Souls, while in the Eternal Night Dawn state, they could use each other's second Martial Soul.
As long as Su Yunlin and Wang Dong desired it, they could summon both the Heavenly Evil Sacred Demon Scythe and the Clear Sky Hammer while in the Eternal Night Dawn state.
Even more bizarrely, they could wield both at the same time.
Hammer in the left hand, scythe in the right!
"Clear Sky Nine Arts—Piercing Art!"
Holding the Clear Sky Hammer, Eternal Night Dawn charged directly toward the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's formation!
"This is bad! They're coming! Activate defenses immediately!"
Ma Rulong roared loudly.
The members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy rapidly activated their defensive soul tools, raising their defenses to the maximum.
"Pierce!"
A seamless chain of attacks, one strike layered atop another—the Piercing Art!
BOOM—
Under the Eternal Night Dawn state, the power of Wang Dong's Clear Sky Hammer increased dramatically.
Even without Spirit Rings, the Clear Sky Hammer still received the amplification from the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. The hammer now weighed well over a thousand jin.
With a single swing, Eternal Night Dawn smashed apart the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's formation.
However, no one was eliminated.
Every member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy possessed soul tools with astonishing defensive capabilities. Destroying them in one strike was no easy feat.
But there were always more solutions than difficulties.
"Clear Sky Hammer—Chaotic Splinter Wind!"
Eternal Night Dawn immediately unleashed the Chaotic Splinter Wind Hammer Technique!
Both Su Yunlin and Wang Dong knew the Chaotic Splinter Wind Hammer Technique, though neither had fully mastered it. Su Yunlin had never seriously trained in it, while Wang Dong was limited by her own conditions and had yet to reach the ultimate stage of ninety-nine strikes merging into one.
But now, under the enhancement of Eternal Night Dawn, both their Spirit Power and willpower had risen tremendously, causing the Chaotic Splinter Wind Hammer Technique they unleashed to become astonishingly powerful.
"This is bad! He's building momentum! Stop him!"
Ma Rulong roared loudly.
"In your dreams!"
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng immediately stepped forward to block them, preventing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy from interrupting Eternal Night Dawn.
At that very moment, one of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's team members suddenly vanished—
—and in the next instant, transformed into Xu Sanshi!
When everyone's attention was focused on Eternal Night Dawn, it was finally time for Xu Sanshi's abilities to shine.
Using Xuanwu Substitution, he directly swapped one of the enemy team members out of the arena!
"What?!"
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was instantly thrown into chaos. Their rhythm collapsed on the spot.
"Don't lose focus! Fifth Spirit Ability—Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike!"
A crimson spear suddenly appeared in Ma Xiaotao's hand as her black Spirit Ring lit up brilliantly.
A phoenix burst forth and fused into the spear, causing it to radiate scorching brilliance!
As expected of an outstanding inner court disciple, Ma Xiaotao had once greatly resisted soul tools. However, after witnessing their power over this period of time, her understanding had completely changed.
She realized that stubbornly clinging to old ways would only lead to defeat.
As a result, she began desperately studying soul tool usage. In merely a few days, she had already succeeded in integrating soul tools with her Spirit Abilities!
Her Fifth Spirit Ability, Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike, combined with the Class 7 close-combat soul tool, the Explosive Flame Red Lotus Spear, elevated the power of this attack to the level of a Soul Sage!
Ma Xiaotao only had one target—
Ma Rulong.
As captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, he was the spiritual pillar of the entire team. Crushing him would cripple the enemy's command center.
"Fight independently!"
Ma Rulong shouted.
Their rhythm had already fallen apart. Su Yunlin and Wang Dong's Martial Soul Fusion Skill had far exceeded their expectations.
The moment they lost control of the battle's tempo, they lost one teammate, and their combat style gradually descended into chaos.
If this continued, they would lose.
Ma Rulong immediately ordered everyone to fight independently and fully utilize their own specialties.
However, when they unleashed various long-range soul tools to counterattack, they discovered that every member of Shrek Academy was equipped with extremely high-grade defensive soul tools.
Their attacks were directly blocked!
"What?! Since when did Shrek Academy start relying on soul tools to win?!"
One of the Sun Moon team members roared furiously.
Suddenly, Xu Sanshi appeared behind him.
A Class 5 knockback soul tool was equipped on Xu Sanshi's right hand, and with a single strike, he blasted the opponent backward before immediately following up with Xuanwu Shock, momentarily stunning him into a daze.
The moment Xu Sanshi confirmed the effect, he turned and sprinted toward the edge of the arena.
His speed was astonishingly fast, aided by speed-enhancing soul tools attached to his legs.
In just a few seconds, the unlucky Sun Moon team member that Xu Sanshi had ambushed was eliminated from the match!
Xu Sanshi had consecutively eliminated two members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy!
"Damn it!"
Xiao Hongchen erupted in rage and immediately unleashed a barrage of soul tool attacks in every direction.
Unfortunately, the results were poor.
Everyone on Shrek's side possessed defensive soul tools, and his attacks simply could not break through their defenses.
"Seventy-nine, eighty, eighty-one!"
"Clear Sky Hammer—Chaotic Splinter Wind, Eighty-One Strikes Into One!"
Eternal Night Dawn had finally stacked the Chaotic Splinter Wind Hammer Technique to its eighty-first strike!
Perhaps the Clear Sky Sect had secluded itself for far too long.
People seemed to have forgotten just how terrifying the once greatest sect in the world truly was.
Of course, that so-called greatest sect in the world had also produced quite a few cowards.
But the might of the Clear Sky Hammer had been recognized across the continent ten thousand years ago!
Once the hammer technique reached eighty-one consecutive strikes, even a divine-grade Martial Soul like the Six-Winged Angel could not withstand it!
And now, Eternal Night Dawn had fully completed the buildup.
It was time to attack.
BOOM—
Eternal Night Dawn immediately locked onto Xiao Hongchen—
That guy acting like "Marco Polo" across the battlefield!
Without hesitation, Eternal Night Dawn swung the hammer down violently onto Xiao Hongchen.
Xiao Hongchen's pupils shrank instantly as the defensive soul tools on his body activated automatically.
Crack—
His defensive soul tool shattered!
A Class 7 defensive soul tool, Wall of Tenacity—destroyed!
Immediately afterward, another defensive soul tool activated.
This one had been personally given to Xiao Hongchen by his grandfather for protection, only triggering when his life was truly in danger.
This soul tool barely managed to withstand the Clear Sky Hammer's strike.
However, the overwhelming force still sent Xiao Hongchen and the soul tool flying together through the air!
Xiao Hongchen himself was blasted completely out of the arena, forcing Tiansha Douluo to step in and send him safely outside the competition grounds.
