Chapter 58: Flame Splitting Tsunami Blade

The dust settled, and with Zhu Lu's support, Dai Huabin stood slowly, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes. He released his White Tiger Diamond Transformation, only to cough up more blood.

"Kid, I'll remember this broken hand. If I don't leave a mark on you today, I, Dai Huabin, will never set foot in Shrek Academy again." He glared at Xiao Yan, his voice filled with a chilling menace.

Xiao Yan shrugged, the faintest smirk playing on his lips. With a flick of his wrist, he summoned his massive black ruler from the ground into his hand, tilting his head slightly. A calm, mocking smile crossed his face. "I'm right here. Come and try."

"Arrogant fool!" Dai Huabin roared, his tiger's growl echoing as he pulled Zhu Lu close. His body expanded once more as white fur mixed with black stripes emerged, covering his form in a wild, powerful transformation.

Zhu Lu bit her lip, her entire body enveloped in a dark glow. Her form grew faint, almost translucent, as she began merging with Dai Huabin. In a flash, the two fused into one entity.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Netherworld White Tiger!"

The fusion of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and the Netherworld Spirit Cat unleashed a soul power surge, like a geyser from the depths. Black and white light burst forth as their bodies disappeared, leaving only a massive white tiger with a faint purple aura standing in the arena.

The Netherworld White Tiger—an ancient fusion technique passed down for nearly ten thousand years in the Dai and Zhu families of the Star Luo Empire. Every White Tiger Duke's wife came from the Zhu family, including the current duchess, who carried the bloodline of the Netherworld Spirit Cat.

As the only legitimate heir capable of a compatible fusion with a Zhu clan member, Dai Huabin had been marked as the next White Tiger Duke.

"Roar!"

The Netherworld White Tiger let out a thunderous roar and crouched, before launching itself at Xiao Yan with terrifying speed.

Xiao Yan's expression grew serious. Relying on his Spirit Detection Sharing, he sidestepped the White Tiger's first pounce, narrowly evading its deadly attack.

"Take this!"

Pivoting on his heels, Xiao Yan maneuvered to the tiger's left and channeled his Dou Qi, bringing his Heavy Black Ruler down towards its head with all his might.

Sensing the approaching attack, the Netherworld White Tiger reacted swiftly. Its massive paw met Xiao Yan's black ruler with a deafening clang, sparks flying.

The force of the collision sent Xiao Yan staggering back several paces, while the tiger retreated only a single step.

"What a tough weapon!" Dai Huabin's voice echoed from within the Netherworld White Tiger, his gaze fixed on Xiao Yan's weapon in disbelief. "If that's all you've got, don't expect to walk off this stage alive."

"Oh? And you're nothing more than a kitty with a broken paw." Xiao Yan laughed defiantly. He rolled his shoulder, eyes narrowed with cold determination as he raised his ruler, drawing in a deep breath. Then, in an unexpected move, he closed his eyes.

On the viewing platform, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion looked on in confusion. Elder Xuan frowned, a piece of chicken falling from his hand as he muttered, "What's that kid up to now? I can feel the energy around us shifting…"

In the arena, Dai Huabin's eyes gleamed with a mocking glint. To him, Xiao Yan's act was as futile as a trapped mouse's last struggle. In his mind, there was no way Xiao Yan could overcome the Netherworld White Tiger.

"Enough theatrics! Die!" The Netherworld White Tiger snarled, crouching again before lunging at Xiao Yan with a fierce, predatory gleam in its eyes.

"Dai Huabin…" Xiao Yan's voice rang out, cold and steely as he snapped his eyes open, revealing blood-red pupils. His killing intent flared, and the black ruler in his hand began to glow red.

"Flame Splitting Tsunami Blade!"

With those words, the energy of the surrounding heavens and earth surged toward him, pulled by an invisible force. Streams of power poured into Xiao Yan's Heavy Black Ruler, which glowed hotter and brighter with each passing second.

In moments, a half-meter arc of blazing red light formed at the ruler's tip, radiating searing heat as it slashed down toward the oncoming Netherworld White Tiger.

"What? He's manipulating the energy of the heavens and earth? Is this a hundred-thousand-year soul skill?" Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo leapt to their feet, staring in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them.

"This is dangerous—stop them immediately!" Elder Xuan's eyes were wide with shock. He couldn't believe Xiao Yan's ability to wield such a forceful attack, and his face turned grim as he realized the threat.

Without hesitation, Yan Shaozhe's figure vanished from the viewing platform, his nine soul rings gleaming as he launched into action.

The red blade of energy struck with a blinding flash, reaching the Netherworld White Tiger in an instant. Before the spectators could even process what they were seeing, a thunderous explosion shook the arena.
