As the few individuals inside the arena began their clash, the referee teacher had already arrived nearby. After all, in this competition, aimed at allowing six freshmen to unleash their full potential, there were no restrictions on the use of abilities. Only by giving it their all could the observing teachers truly discern their potential.
Thus, this referee was not only an experienced teacher but also a sharp attacker in terms of soul masters, with cultivation reaching the level of a Soul Saint at the seventh ring, a speed unmatched by Huo Yuhao and his peers.
When Cui Yajie viciously attacked Huo Yuhao, the referee was already nearby. Even this experienced referee teacher believed Huo Yuhao was about to be eliminated.
However, the black flames suddenly rising from Huo Yuhao's palms gave the referee a palpable sense of unease, causing him to react a beat slower. When he snapped out of it, he inwardly exclaimed, sensing the impending danger.
Cui Yajie's Fox Tail Needle soul skill had condensed all her soul power, boasting terrifying lethality. If Huo Yuhao were directly hit, it would undoubtedly result in immediate death.
The referee was about to rush into the arena but was suddenly forced to take a step back by a scorching aura. Then, he witnessed Huo Yuhao spreading his arms, his upper body completely covered in black flames, resembling a suit of flaming armor.
"The Seven Treasures are renowned: First is Speed!"
"The Seven Treasures are renowned: Second is Unraveling!"
"The Seven Treasures are renowned: Third is Power!"
Although Ning Tian had been playing with Zhu Lu under Wu Feng's protection, her attention had always been on Huo Yuhao.
Seeing Huo Yuhao finally revealing his trump card, Ning Tian understood this was the crucial moment that would decide the outcome of the entire match. She immediately went all out, no longer holding back.
The three yellow and one purple soul rings atop the Seven Treasures Glass Tower simultaneously shone brightly. Three major soul skills were activated simultaneously, causing the tower in her hand to become exceptionally radiant, even seeming to increase in size.
Three beams of light shot out simultaneously, landing on Huo Yuhao's body.
"Mystic-level Battle Skill: Eight Extremities Fire Control!"
Black and golden flames flickered in Huo Yuhao's eyes as his body rapidly spun, forming a blazing black flame tornado. When Cui Yajie's Fox Tail Needle touched the black flames, its originally glossy pink fur was instantly ignited.
"Ah!"
Cui Yajie let out a cry of pain, her body shaking continuously as she attempted to extinguish the black flames on her tail. However, the black flames seemed to possess a strange stickiness, completely immune to extinguishing or shaking off.
Soon, the black flames ignited Cui Yajie's school uniform. Just as the referee was about to intervene, a white light flashed in the arena, and then Cui Yajie was carried out of the competition area by a figure.
"Dean," the referee teacher stuttered.
"It's alright. If these flames were to be extinguished, even you would need to exert effort. Just focus on overseeing the other students in the arena," Yan Shaozhe nodded at the referee teacher, releasing a golden-white light from his right palm onto the black flames on Cui Yajie's body.
The originally fiercely burning Phoenix Flame, under the subsequent light released by Yan Shaozhe, suddenly extinguished. Then, Yan Shaozhe's gaze turned back to the arena, where the black tornado still raged.
"Good lad, actually mastering the Dark Phoenix's origin fire on Xiaotao's body, and even surpassing Xiaotao's control, this is the essence of the Dark Phoenix's sinister fire!"
Dai Huabin wasn't far from Huo Yuhao to begin with, and with Ning Tian's acceleration, the black tornado Huo Yuhao transformed into almost instantly struck Dai Huabin's body.
The scorching sensation made Dai Huabin roar in pain, but the pain didn't crush his fighting spirit; instead, it drove him even more berserk.
Seeing what just happened to Cui Yajie, knowing that this black flame couldn't be isolated with ordinary means, Dai Huabin directly activated his most powerful defensive ability.
The air around Dai Huabin's body suddenly distorted due to the powerful soul power fluctuations, and his evil eyes suddenly turned blood-red.
And the purple third soul ring rose, his already robust body further expanded due to the White Tiger Martial Soul's possession, his muscles exaggeratedly bulging, bursting his upper body clothes completely, revealing clear muscle contours. What's even more bizarre was the appearance of black stripes all over his skin, making it almost identical to tiger skin if not for the lack of fur.
His tiger palms grew another size, the blades popping out turned into bright silver, and most peculiarly, his entire body was enveloped in a strong golden light, as if he were gilded. Blood-red eyes emitted a bloodthirsty gleam, exuding the aura of the king of beasts from head to toe.
The pitch-black Phoenix's sinister fire collided with the golden light on Dai Huabin's body, instantly triggering a series of terrifying soul power explosions. The whole arena was filled with dust and smoke, and the referee teacher quickly waved his hand to disperse it, revealing the two figures who had just collided head-on.
Huo Yuhao had already revealed his figure by now, and his upper body black flame armor had also disappeared by half. Although he looked a bit out of breath, his condition seemed to be relatively fine.
On the other hand, Dai Huabin looked extremely miserable. He completely underestimated the power of the Phoenix's sinister fire. The flames of the Dark Phoenix were indeed the essence of extreme fire. Although Huo Yuhao had only refined a strand of fire and hadn't activated his Martial Soul, he had already reached the level close to the extreme fire.
Even with the White Tiger Avatar and the White Tiger Barrier double soul skills, Dai Huabin couldn't resist the burning of the Phoenix's sinister fire. Moreover, with Huo Yuhao's full-powered Eight Extremities Fire Control, the destructive power was naturally even more terrifying.
At this moment, the clothes on Dai Huabin's chest had already been burned into a large hole, and his skin, covered in black stripes, was full of blackened scars. However, the pitch-black Phoenix's sinister fire still hadn't extinguished, burning on his chest skin.
"Zhulu, help me!"
Dai Huabin's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he fully activated the soul power within his body and let out a heart-shaking tiger roar towards the sky. With this tiger roar, white fur mixed with black tiger stripes gushed crazily out of his body.
While Zhu Lu was previously engaged in a direct confrontation with Wu Feng, she instantly appeared by Dai Huabin's side with a series of afterimages. A black light surged out of her body, instantly covering her body, making her look almost transparent.
At this moment, their eyes were only on each other. Dai Huabin's eyes even merged into one, but the coldness in his gaze remained unchanged. Instead, Zhu Lu's gaze became as gentle as water, as if she wanted to melt him.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's figures disappeared in the arena, and in their place stood a huge white tiger. This white tiger was translucent, with black patterns spreading across its white body, and its eyes were even the color of purple roses.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger!
The huge white tiger's body seemed somewhat transparent, completely illusory in existence, and the Phoenix's sinister fire Dai Huabin had just touched also extinguished under the powerful force of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. It slightly crouched its massive body, then the next second, it instantly created a transparent ripple and rushed towards Huo Yuhao's trio at a terrifying speed.
"Wufeng, fire!"
Huo Yuhao's eyes, filled with black-golden light, closely watched the huge Shadowy White Tiger, and he shouted. Then, the two soul rings on Wu Feng's body, which had been protecting Ning Tian, suddenly lit up.
"Roar!"
A resounding dragon roar echoed throughout the entire arena, and a red dragon-shaped flame suddenly shot out from Wu Feng's body. With this flame's departure, Wu Feng's complexion turned pale, and she collapsed directly into Ning Tian's arms.
The black-golden light flickered in Huo Yuhao's Eyes of the Fire God, and his left hand stretched out, drawing in the dragon-shaped flame that had shot out from Wu Feng's body.
The huge dragon-shaped flame kept shrinking, finally forming a three-inch-sized red fire dragon in Huo Yuhao's left palm.
In Huo Yuhao's right palm, a pitch-black flame phoenix was circling and dancing. This pitch-black flame phoenix condensed all the Phoenix's sinister fire inside Huo Yuhao's body, and its temperature had definitely reached the level of extreme fire.
Huo Yuhao's gaze was tightly locked on the two different-colored flames in his hands, a crazy smile appearing at the corners of his mouth, then his hands slowly moved towards each other in the middle.
"Twin fires fuse, Buddha's wrathful fire lotus!"
