DD2- Chapter 246: Xuan Zi's Bewitching, for the Glory of Shrek, Use Evil Fire!
Du Bu Si: "I didn't expect that Huo Yuhao in this parallel world would be so powerful. Although he still falls into the category of six-ring Soul Emperors based on his soul power level..."
"But from the actual strength shown, I feel that even some seven-ring Soul Saints or even eight-ring Soul Douluos would be no match for him."
"This kid's strength is truly terrifying."
Jing Hongchen: "It seems we underestimated him!"
Kong Deming: "What a pity; this is Huo Yuhao from a parallel world. It would be fantastic if we had such an excellent student here."
They all expressed their thoughts on the matter.
And at this moment, on the screen...
[Although Xuan Zi had vaguely sensed that something was amiss earlier,]
[Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao had not yet engaged in a real confrontation.]
[So Xuan Zi still held onto a glimmer of hope.]
[But just now, Huo Yuhao froze Ma Xiaotao in an instant with a single move.]
[That last bit of hope in Xuan Zi's heart had completely evaporated.]
[He was truly scared now.]
["It's over, it's over. I can't lose this time, can I?"]
["If I lose, how will I explain this to Mu Lao and Shrek when I return?!"]
["Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"]
[Xuan Zi kept raking his hair.]
[Finally, his gaze turned steely, a dangerous idea blossoming in his mind.]
["No, we cannot lose this match at any cost."]
[He immediately shouted to Ma Xiaotao on the stage!]
["Xiaotao! In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken!"]
["You can't compete with him directly!"]
["So, you must use the evil fire to fight him!"]
[Xuan Zi's shout startled Ma Xiaotao, who was gasping for breath on stage.]
[But she quickly grasped what Xuan Zi meant.]
[He wanted her to give in to the evil fire, allowing her strength to increase severalfold.]
[But the risk was clear: succumbing would mean she might completely degenerate into an evil soul master!]
[In the past, Ma Xiaotao had refrained from practicing with full intensity to avoid this fate.]
[Yet, here was Xuan Zi, an experienced veteran, urging her to embrace the evil fire.]
[At this moment, a swirl of conflicting emotions struck Ma Xiaotao.]
[She hesitated, remaining silent.]
[But Xuan Zi shouted again from below the ring: "Xiao Tao, this is for the glory of our Shrek Academy!"]
["You wouldn't want to see our academy's glory tarnished by your hands!"]
[At last, hearing Xuan Zi's words steeled Ma Xiaotao's resolve.]
[She began to feverishly summon the evil fire within her.]
[The flames engulfing her body grew fiercer, but at a cost—becoming increasingly malevolent and harder to control.]
[Eventually, Ma Xiaotao was completely enveloped by the evil fire and spiraled into a state of uncontrollable power!]
[She appeared extraordinarily dangerous!]
And in the gap between the planes...
Upon witnessing this scene, the faces of the watching soul masters changed again.
"No. How can you allow such a thing?"
"You understand all too well the dangers of evil fire, how it can corrupt students and turn them into genuine evil soul masters."
"But for the sake of your glory, Shrek Academy coerces students into such actions?"
"Is Xuan Zi truly a person in this parallel world?"
They couldn't help but denounce Xuan Zi, one after another.
Even Jing Hongchen and the others could no longer remain silent.
They started to mock him.
Jing Hongchen: "It's just as expected of Shrek Academy. Truly selfish!"
Du Bu Si: "Tsk tsk tsk, what an eye-opener! Xuan Zi, you are something else!"
Kong Deming: "From now on, I doubt anyone would want to join Shrek. Because as soon as you join, you may have to sacrifice yourself for the so-called glory of Shrek Academy. Ma Xiaotao is the best example!"
The executives of Shrek Academy faced a barrage of criticism and were left speechless.
But Xuan Zi stood up to defend himself.
"The emperor is untroubled, while the eunuch is anxious!"
"Our students are pure-hearted! They willingly dedicate themselves to the glory of Shrek! Who are you to question that?"
But his justification earned him another round of scorn from everyone.
Meanwhile, Qian Renxue watched the unfolding scene with keen interest.
After taking in the developments, she remarked, "I must admit, once under the control of evil fire, Ma Xiaotao's strength has indeed escalated significantly."
"At this moment, I wonder if Huo Yuhao from this parallel world can defeat Ma Xiaotao."
But Bibi Dong smiled and replied, "Of course he can."
"He hasn't even begun to exert his strength yet."
"Even though Ma Xiaotao, fueled by evil fire, is formidable, she still falls short compared to Huo Yuhao from the parallel world."
"If things go awry, just watch him."
With that, Bibi Dong turned her gaze back to the screen.
And at this moment, in the arena...
["What a vile aura."]
[Seeing the terrifying energy radiating from Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but frown.]
["I never expected Ma Xiaotao would be willing to sacrifice herself for Shrek Academy."]
["That kind of spirit is indeed commendable."]
[But then Huo Yuhao's attention shifted back to Xuan Zi below the ring. Looking at Xuan Zi, he felt nothing but disgust.]
["This old man is truly repugnant."]
[Initially, Huo Yuhao had held a positive impression of Xuan Zi.]
[Yet, during this Soul Master Competition, Xuan Zi continuously pushed Huo Yuhao's boundaries of his regard for him.]
[Now Huo Yuhao felt nauseated each time he saw Xuan Zi.]
[He snorted coldly and quickly averted his gaze.]
[At that moment, the uncontrolled Ma Xiaotao had already launched a frenzied attack on Huo Yuhao.]
[Huo Yuhao sighed, "She is a worthy opponent. Unfortunately, she has been deceived by Shrek."]
[He chose to attack once more, but this time, he didn't use the Blue-Eyed Crystal Phoenix's power; instead, he employed the techniques taught by Electrolux.]
[After all, Ma Xiaotao was now under the influence of evil fire and was effectively an evil soul master.]
[To counter this kind of dark power, the abilities imparted to him by Electrolux were a perfect match.]
