It could be said that Dai Yueheng's move this time was quite abrupt!
One second, his face still wore that hypocritical mask of a noble Young Master recruiting a Genius; the next second, the killing intent hidden deep in his eyes erupted like a viper flicking its tongue!
Accompanied by a tyrannical tiger's roar, Dai Yueheng's third and Fifth Spirit Rings lit up simultaneously!
Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!
Fifth Soul Skill: White Tiger Demon God Transformation!
Powerful buff-type Spirit Abilities stacked instantly! Dai Yueheng's already burly body expanded wildly once more, his muscles bulging high, and the black-and-white tiger stripes erupted with blinding light!
He didn't intend to give Huo Yuhao any chance to react at all. Carrying a terrifying, bloody wind, that massive tiger claw tore through the air and swiped ruthlessly toward Huo Yuhao's throat!
However, facing Dai Yueheng's sudden attack, not a single trace of panic appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
He had long been on guard against this eldest son of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion!
Just at the moment that sharp tiger claw was about to touch Huo Yuhao's neck...
Huo Yuhao simply took a strange step at will. His entire body, like a weightless willow leaf, followed the fierce wind brought by the tiger claw and drifted back half a step with extreme ease and elegance.
Swish!
Dai Yueheng's certain-kill strike actually hit empty air, failing to touch even a corner of Huo Yuhao's clothes!
"Holy crap! This guy is way too despicable, isn't he?!"
Standing in the back, Xie Xie couldn't help but widen his eyes and start cursing loudly upon seeing this scene.
"A dignified Level 64 Spirit Emperor, facing an opponent so much younger than himself—he just resorts to a sneak attack because he can't win the argument? Has this so-called Prodigy taught by the Counterfeit Shrek Academy lost even the most basic sense of shame?!"
Beside him, Ling Luochen also furrowed her brows tightly, a flash of disgust crossing her cold eyes.
As a fellow regular member of the Seven Monsters from that Counterfeit Shrek Academy, Ling Luochen had felt that Dai Yueheng's conduct was somewhat hypocritical back when she was in the Inner Court. On the surface, he seemed like a bold and loyal big brother figure, but behind the scenes, he was always full of various schemes.
She hadn't expected that seeing him today would prove it true! Since recruitment failed, he immediately resorted to a lethal strike without hesitation!
However, despite this, the faces of Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and the others didn't show much concern.
After all, Huo Yuhao was a genuine Four-Ring Soul Ancestor!
Furthermore, he had undergone so much high-intensity training at Shrek Academy that could be called hellish; both his combat awareness and his foundations were incredibly powerful!
Dealing with a 'wild path' like Dai Yueheng, who only knew how to Cultivate step-by-step on the ground, was certainly an easy task for Huo Yuhao that they didn't need to worry about at all.
At the same time.
In Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, Skydream Ice Worm also rolled over quite comfortably and let out a burst of teasing laughter.
"Oh boy, this is really killing me!"
Skydream Ice Worm's chubby face was full of mockery.
"A mere Spirit Emperor actually dares to attack you? Those who don't know better would think he's a monster Spirit Emperor from our real Shrek Academy!"
"A fellow from a Counterfeit Shrek Academy dares to be so arrogant here?"
Skydream Ice Worm shook his head in the Sea of Consciousness and asked curiously.
"Yuhao, how do you plan to deal with this guy named Dai Yueheng? Do you want me to give you some advice?"
Skydream Ice Worm began to proudly list the series of terrifying methods Huo Yuhao now possessed, like reciting a menu.
"You have terrifying Mental Force now. Using Mental Force to condense into a needle could turn him into an idiot directly! Then there's the powerful physical body you tempered at the academy..."
"Or, you could just call that ten-thousand-year Spirit Soul out and let it play with him! Or use the Ice God Body Spirit to freeze him directly into an ice sculpture!"
Listening to Skydream Ice Worm's incessant listing...
A strange light flashed deep in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
"No."
Huo Yuhao's voice echoed in the Sea of Consciousness.
"I want to use the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul."
Huo Yuhao said, emphasizing every word.
"Back then, didn't their White Tiger Duke's Mansion think I failed to inherit the White Tiger Spirit and that the Spirit I awakened was useless?"
"Today, I will use this Spirit they called trash to give this high-and-mighty Young Master a proper response!"
Hearing Huo Yuhao's decision, Skydream Ice Worm was first stunned, then excitedly agreed.
"Good boy! I'll support you!"
Outside.
Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly brightened, and within those eyes that already shimmered with a golden luster, a strange mental wave instantly erupted!
Hum—!
Among the four conspicuous black ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings beneath his feet, the one in the fourth position suddenly flared with light!
Fourth Soul Skill: Void-Real Illusion!
An invisible ripple of Mental Force, like a giant net, directly enveloped Dai Yueheng the moment his strike missed!
Dai Yueheng only felt as if his brain had been lightly struck by a sledgehammer, and his vision momentarily blurred.
"A mental-attribute Spirit Ability? Mere child's play!"
Dai Yueheng snorted coldly. Relying on his deep Spirit Power, he didn't care for this 'low-level illusion' in his eyes at all.
However, when his vision regained clarity, he was suddenly stunned.
In his eyes, Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Ling Luochen, and the others who were originally standing opposite him had all vanished into thin air!
And his Counterfeit Shrek Academy teammates standing not far behind him had all turned into Huo Yuhao's likeness!
A total of seven Huo Yuhaos were looking at him with eyes full of mockery!
"Little beast! You think you can win against me with this Clone trick?!"
Dai Yueheng laughed out of extreme anger, not realizing at all that he was already deep within an illusion.
Under the enhancement of his buff abilities, he let out a roar and lunged directly toward the group of 'Huo Yuhaos'!
"Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Light Wave!"
Boom!
A thick white pillar of light, carrying a destructive aura, erupted directly from Dai Yueheng's mouth, slamming fiercely toward the crowd opposite him!
Meanwhile, in the real World...
Those seven Counterfeit Shrek Academy students were just waiting to see Dai Yueheng show off his power.
The next second, they were completely dumbfounded!
They watched helplessly as Dai Yueheng, after missing a claw swipe, suddenly seemed to go mad, spun around, and stared at them with blood-red eyes!
Before they could even react, a terrifying White Tiger Light Wave blasted directly toward their faces!
"Junior Brother Dai! What are you doing?!"
"He's crazy! Senior Brother Dai has gone crazy!"
The seven students were terrified, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering as they hurriedly released their Spirit Power and scattered in a panic!
They looked at Dai Yueheng with faces full of confusion, waves of shock crashing in their hearts!
What happened to Dai Yueheng?! Could he be an undercover agent sent by that pheasant Shrek Academy?! Why did he turn around and use such lethal moves against his own people?!
"Dai Yueheng! Wake up! Look clearly at who we are!"
The leading youth shouted at the top of his lungs while desperately defending, trying to awaken Dai Yueheng's reason.
However, within Huo Yuhao's Void-Real Illusion, this youth's shouting changed its tone when it reached Dai Yueheng's ears!
In Dai Yueheng's ears, the shouting had completely turned into 'Huo Yuhao's' piercing mockery!
"Is this all the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke is capable of?"
"You can't even touch a single hair of mine. What a waste!"
Hearing these piercing auditory hallucinations, Dai Yueheng's proud self-esteem suffered unprecedented provocation, and he fell into a frenzy!
"I'm going to kill you! White Tiger Meteor Shower!!"
Dai Yueheng roared madly as his fourth Spirit Ring suddenly lit up!
Countless golden light orbs the size of fists smashed toward the seven students like a torrential storm!
Not only that, Dai Yueheng even directly unleashed his terrifyingly lethal sixth Spirit skill—White Tiger Destruction Kill!
A massive black character for 'Kill' condensed in mid-air, carrying a terrifying power that seemed to tear through everything, driving those seven Pirated Shrek students into a desperate situation!
Watching this scene of 'attacking my teammates'...
Standing not far away, the corner of Xie Xie's mouth couldn't stop twitching.
He turned to look at the calm Huo Yuhao and couldn't help but complain.
"Wait... Yuhao, didn't you say just now that you were only going to deal with Dai Yueheng alone?"
Xie Xie pointed at the group of Pirated Shrek students who were being beaten into a scurrying mess.
"How did you end up beating this whole group along with him? What kind of one-on-one is this?"
Xie Xie looked at this scene and couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his heart filled with emotion.
Huo Yuhao's current Mental Force had truly reached an unimaginably terrifying level! One must know that not every academy taught Mental Force training, and treasures that enhanced Mental Force were very rare.
On the other side, those seven Counterfeit Shrek Academy students, facing the completely maddened and full-throttle Spirit Emperor Dai Yueheng, were simply crying out in bitterness, not knowing what to do!
They had initially thought of just defending, not wanting to actually hurt Dai Yueheng.
But Dai Yueheng was using lethal moves!
Those White Tiger Meteor Showers and White Tiger Destruction Kills were all fatal!
If they didn't counterattack with heavy blows and hurt Dai Yueheng, they would be beaten to death right here today!
"We can't retreat anymore! Everyone, attack together! Subdue him first!"
The leading youth gritted his teeth and roared loudly with a face full of grievance.
Subsequently, these seven students—four Spirit Ancestors and three Spirit Kings—finally stopped holding back! Various colorful Spirit Abilities erupted, greeting their 'Proud Son of Heaven' Dai Yueheng!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
An intense Shrek internal brawl played out under Huo Yuhao's control!
It had to be said that Dai Yueheng's strength was indeed powerful, but under the interference of Huo Yuhao's illusion, he was outputting madly without any technique, consuming a vast amount of Spirit Power.
Furthermore, in the end, two fists were no match for four hands!
Under the coordinated siege of seven companions...
After nearly the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, accompanied by an unwilling roar, Dai Yueheng finally ran out of stamina and was pinned firmly to the ground by the combined Spirit Abilities of several students, suffering defeat!
Seeing Dai Yueheng subdued...
Huo Yuhao cleanly deactivated the Void-Real Illusion.
Hum—!
The scene before their eyes instantly rippled like water.
Dai Yueheng, who was pinned firmly to the ground, felt his brain suddenly clear.
As he gasped heavily for breath and raised his head to see the scene before him clearly...
Dai Yueheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he froze on the spot in shock!
There weren't seven Huo Yuhaos!
The one pinning his arm was a junior brother he had beaten black and blue! The ones pinning his legs were companions whose clothes were torn and skin was lacerated by his White Tiger Meteor Shower!
The seven Shrek students he had brought with him were all injured, looking at him with faces full of resentment and fear!
"This... I did this?!"
Dai Yueheng's voice was trembling.
Just now, he had actually been fighting with the students of his own academy?! And he had even been pinned to the ground by them?!
Of course, what Dai Yueheng cared about wasn't that he had injured these students, but that he had been played by Huo Yuhao!
A dignified Spirit Emperor, a dignified Proud Son of Heaven!
What a humiliation!
"Little beast! You dare to toy with me!!!"
A surge of rage instantly rose from the bottom of Dai Yueheng's heart! He struggled desperately, wanting to climb up and tear Huo Yuhao apart!
But at the very moment Dai Yueheng's self-esteem was crushed to pieces!
Swish!
Huo Yuhao's figure appeared before Dai Yueheng like Teleportation!
Then he slowly raised his right hand, his fingers clenching into a fist.
Bang—!!!
Huo Yuhao threw a punch, slamming it directly into Dai Yueheng's face.
"Pfft—!"
Accompanied by a spray of blood mixed with several broken teeth!
The dignified Level 64 Spirit Emperor Dai Yueheng didn't even have time to let out a scream before his entire body left the ground, flying backward like a fired cannonball!
