Soul Land: Xiao Yan Reincarnates as Huo Yuhao

The moment everyone saw Dai Yueheng's tiger claw shattered into fragments, the sky fell into a dead silence. A collective dizziness swept over the crowd as the reality sunk in.

A mere soul master at approximately rank 30 had forced a rank 60+ Soul Emperor into such a miserable state? The sheer terror of such a feat left everyone speechless.

This shocking reality caused the faces of Shrek's group to twitch uncontrollably. Before Dai Yueheng could crash to the ground, Gongyang Mo flapped his wings and managed to catch him mid-fall.

However, using the Flame Splitting Wave Ruler, a high-tier Dou Technique, with his current Dou Qi strength had clearly drained Xiao Yan, leaving his face pale. Gently stroking the Heavenly Heavy Ruler, a chillingly fervent light gleamed in his dark eyes.

Despite the risk of backlash from using this Earth-rank Dou Technique, its devastating power had filled Xiao Yan with excitement. He had managed to forcibly bridge the gap between a mere soul master and a powerful Soul Emperor.

"Cough…" Xiao Yan coughed violently, swiftly retrieving two pills from his storage soul guide and swallowing them. His cold gaze swept over the remaining members of Shrek Academy, making their spines tingle.

"Everyone, kill him!"

Pushing Gongyang Mo away roughly, Dai Yueheng's tiger claw was completely gone, leaving only a bloodied stump that drenched his body in red. His face twisted in madness as terror gripped his heart. The overwhelming strength Xiao Yan had demonstrated filled him with fear. If this boy were allowed to grow unchecked...

"Bastard!" Seeing Dai Yueheng's injury, Ma Xiaotao's expression turned grim. With a furious roar, her figure shot forward, her phoenix wings unfurling majestically. The first and sixth soul rings on her body lit up, and she became a blazing meteor hurtling toward Xiao Yan and his allies.

"First Soul Skill: Phoenix Fire!"

A line of searing phoenix flames burst from Ma Xiaotao's mouth, serving as both a ranged attack and a means to suppress her opponent while she closed the distance.

However, before her attack could reach Xiao Yan, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen stepped forward, releasing their martial souls.

A flash of gold light shimmered behind Xiao Hongchen as an additional golden limb emerged from his back, making him hunch slightly. Two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings rose around him.

Three-Legged Golden Toad.

This exceptionally rare beast martial soul granted Xiao Hongchen a unique ability: the manipulation of metal. No matter the type, he could control it with precision and even absorb energy from rare metals to enhance his cultivation. This talent explained how he reached Soul King rank at such a young age—after all, rare metals were never in short supply in the Sun-Moon Empire.

Golden protrusions emerged along his hunched back, glowing faintly. The first and third soul rings on his body flared to life as his hands moved in intricate patterns, releasing over a hundred metallic spheres into the air. These spheres floated and hovered around him, forming an impenetrable shield.

"First Soul Skill: Metal Control!"

"Third Soul Skill: Golden Form!"

The first skill amplified his control over metal, enhancing both quantity and affinity. The third skill condensed and shaped the metal, even temporarily crafting soul tools with spiritual power.

In an instant, the metallic spheres transformed into massive cannon barrels, sprouting like grotesque extensions from Xiao Hongchen's body. Within moments, he resembled a fearsome metal hedgehog.

The second and fourth soul rings on his body lit up, drawing countless golden specks of light from the air. These specks surged into the cannon barrels, charging them with concentrated energy.

As a crisp metallic sound echoed, the cannon barrels aimed at the incoming Ma Xiaotao and fired simultaneously.

Facing the barrage, Ma Xiaotao showed no fear. The sixth black soul ring on her body blazed with light as countless golden fireballs materialized around her, shooting forward like flaming meteors.

"Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

The fireballs transformed into phoenix shapes mid-flight, their sharp cries ringing out as they accelerated toward Xiao Hongchen's onslaught.

"Damn, a ten-thousand-year soul skill," Xiao Hongchen muttered bitterly, his expression changing.

"Boom!"

The phoenix meteors collided with the cannon barrage, creating deafening explosions that left spectators covering their ears. However, a ten-thousand-year soul skill was not so easily countered.

In mere moments, the cannon fire was obliterated, and the phoenix meteors surged toward Xiao Hongchen like an unstoppable tide.

At that moment, Meng Hongchen stepped forward. Her hair turned snow-white, and her ice-blue eyes glowed blood-red. Two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings rose around her as a jade-white toad materialized behind her.

Placing her hand on Xiao Hongchen's shoulder, a pillar of golden and ice-blue light shot into the sky, enveloping their bodies.

"Not good—it's a martial soul fusion skill! Xiaotao, be careful!" one of Shrek's inner court disciples shouted in alarm.

The light condensed in the air, forming a massive toad-like figure. The creature's body shimmered with a metallic crimson sheen, its eyes as deep as black holes. Its wide mouth opened, revealing a swirling golden vortex.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Red Dust's Devotion!" Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's voices rang out in unison as a golden vortex beam erupted from the toad's mouth, hurtling toward Ma Xiaotao.

"Boom!"

The vortex beam collided with the Phoenix Meteor Shower, obliterating it almost instantly. The fiery rain dissipated into harmless sparks.

Two Soul Kings unleashing a martial soul fusion skill—its overwhelming power was undeniable.

The golden vortex beam continued its trajectory, striking Ma Xiaotao directly. Her clothing was torn apart as she was sent hurtling through the air, falling like a bird with broken wings.

If not for Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Meteor Shower absorbing most of the golden vortex beam's energy, the combined strike from Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen's martial soul fusion skill could have easily killed her on the spot.

"Sister Xiaotao!"

In the distance, Xu Sanshi's expression changed drastically upon seeing Ma Xiaotao plummet from the sky. He stomped on the ground and leaped like a shooting star, rushing to intercept her before she hit the ground.

In just two exchanges, two of Shrek Academy's inner court disciples were severely injured. Meanwhile, the outer court disciples, too weak to join the battle, could only watch anxiously from the sidelines, as helpless as ants on a hot pan.

Watching their strongest member, Ma Xiaotao, fall, Chen Zifeng quickly summoned his Blood Soul Pursuit Sword to attack. His fifth soul ring shone as he swung his sword, unleashing a terrifying blood-red arc that surged toward the Sun-Moon Empire's group.

"Leave him to me. The rest of you handle the others. Keep a few people to protect the junior."

Season Dust's calm yet commanding voice echoed as he stepped forward. His six soul rings materialized, and an intense, razor-sharp aura erupted from his body, as if he had fused entirely with the meteorite sword in his hands.

The cultivation path of Season Dust relied on merging his soul with his sword. His martial soul had long transformed into pure energy, fully integrated with the extraterrestrial iron sword. He had become one with his weapon, indistinguishable from it.

The piercing aura radiating from him wasn't just strength—it was sword intent, honed to perfection.

With a sharp swing of his sword, the metallic blade emitted a faint hum, resonating with the overwhelming pressure of his rising energy. This was no ordinary strike—it was a blow that could shift the very heavens and earth.

The clash between Season Dust's pure sword intent and Chen Zifeng's blood arc was monumental.

Meanwhile, Shrek Academy's remaining inner court disciples—Xixi, Gongyang Mo, Ling Luocheng, and Yao Haoxuan—also joined the fray. In response, members of the Sun-Moon Empire, save for Meng Hongchen who stayed back to care for the weakened Xiao Yan, also entered the battlefield.

With their numerical advantage, the Sun-Moon Empire's side quickly gained the upper hand. Within just a few rounds, Shrek Academy's members found themselves overwhelmed. The battlefield echoed with cries of pain as more of them sustained injuries.

---

"Kill!"

A deafening roar shattered the chaos, and an army clad in gleaming armor wielding military-grade soul tools surged onto the scene like an unstoppable tide, completely encircling the battle.

The sudden arrival of the military caused a wave of panic among the spectators.

As the troops solidified their formation, the crowd parted, revealing a man, a woman, and a figure in a wheelchair—none other than Xu Tianran.

"Apprehend these enemies of the Empire!"

Xu Tianran's voice carried an undeniable authority. At his command, the two figures beside him—one male, one female—nodded slightly before taking to the skies. Their oppressive auras, akin to an approaching thunderstorm, bore down on Song Lao and Xian Lin'er.

The male figure, Wang Yiheng, was one of the Sun-Moon Empire's Guardian Douluo and commander of the Evil Soul Master Legion, with a formidable cultivation of rank 94 and the title Mad Bull Douluo.

The female figure, though slightly weaker in soul power at rank 93, was no less fearsome. Known as the Fire Phoenix Douluo, she was both a ninth-rank soul engineer and a Titled Douluo whose combat strength surpassed even Wang Yiheng's when aided by soul tools.

Their combined oppressive aura swept across the battlefield like a raging storm, causing Xian Lin'er's expression to darken.

"This is bad. The Sun-Moon Empire's heavy hitters have arrived."

"Lin'er, we must retreat."

In a flash, Song Lao, transformed into her Green Shadow God Hawk form, appeared beside Xian Lin'er. Her voice was grave as she said, "We still have students with us. Prolonging the fight will only worsen the situation. Some of the inner court disciples are already injured. If we delay further, we might all perish here. How will we explain this to Elder Mu?"

Xian Lin'er clenched her fists in frustration. "It's my fault—I acted impulsively." She sighed deeply, recalling Yan Shaozhe's warning before their departure: "If you find Xiao Yan, do not act recklessly. Report back to the academy before making any decisions."

Song Lao placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Lin'er, take the students and leave. I'll cover the rear. Don't worry—they won't be able to stop me."

Without waiting for a response, Song Lao's body emitted a blinding green light. She raised her hand and shouted toward the Shrek Academy students, "Retreat!"

---

"Retreat? Do you think it's that easy?"

Mirror Dust's voice was ice-cold as his killing intent surged. "Do you think my Mingde Hall is a place where you can come and go as you please? Today, you must leave something behind, or how can Mingde Hall maintain its standing on the continent?"

At his signal, both Mad Bull Douluo and Fire Phoenix Douluo intercepted Xian Lin'er and Song Lao's escape route.

Mirror Dust's lips curled into a faint smirk. Waving his hand, he commanded, "Attack! If we kill them here today, we'll significantly weaken Shrek Academy's strength and pave the way for the Empire's future plans."

Unaware of Shrek Academy's hidden ace, Dragon God Douluo Mu En, Mirror Dust viewed this as a rare opportunity to strike a blow against their rival academy.

Hearing his order, Mad Bull Douluo and Fire Phoenix Douluo exchanged a fierce glance before launching themselves toward Xian Lin'er and Song Lao. Simultaneously, Mirror Dust and Shadow Douluo Snow Dust's nine soul rings lit up, and they joined the assault.

Facing the combined might of four Titled Douluo, Xian Lin'er was quickly overwhelmed. Within just ten exchanges, she was gravely injured, coughing up blood as she retreated shakily through the air.

"Damn it! If I must die, I'll take you all down with me!"

Clutching her chest, Xian Lin'er prepared to unleash her ninth soul skill, but Song Lao struck her shoulder, stopping her. "Lin'er, take the students and leave. I'll hold them off."

"Mother, you can't hold them off alone!"

Song Lao shook her head. "Go! Now!" Before Xian Lin'er could argue further, Song Lao struck her with a gentle palm, propelling her to

ward the inner court disciples.

Mirror Dust sneered. "The Sun-Moon Empire is not a place you can come and go as you please. None of you will escape today."
