"Don't worry about me, don't let them find an opening!" Su Yu struggled to his feet, wiping the blood from his mouth.
"Yu Hao, attack Ning Tian with all your might! Don't give him a chance to amplify his power!"
Su Yu's voice grew weaker and weaker until finally, he lost consciousness and collapsed on the field.
Agility-type Soul Masters are renowned for their speed and attack power. With a four-level difference in Soul Power, especially after being hit head-on, Su Yu's condition was undoubtedly dire.
However, bloodstains appeared on the field, clearly not Su Yu's. Whose blood was it?
Ning Tian, who think that victory already under her hand, is about to warn Nanmen Yun'er when a agonizing scream rang out. Several hidden weapons pierced Nanmen Yun'er's thigh and arm, the intense pain causing her to collapse simultaneously—both were severely injured!
This was a mutually destructive situation!
Su Yu knew he couldn't dodge the attack, but he wasn't afraid to trade blows. The Tang Clan's hidden weapon techniques included a simple, easy-to-learn, and extremely practical method: the "Flicking Arrow"!
The Flicking Arrow technique had only one purpose: to launch the hidden weapon at a faster speed.
If it weren't for the rule against crippling opponents in the competition, Nanmen Yun'er's internal organs would have been hit by at least several hidden weapons.
Moreover, Su Yu had planned this for a long time; at such close range, penetrating Nanmen Yun'er's protective soul power was entirely reasonable.
The initial advantage vanished instantly, returning to a two-on-two situation.
Just then, Wu Feng suddenly shone with a bright red light, her second soul ring flashed, the dragon fire rising from her body abruptly turned dark red, her scales thickened and as the eyes blazed red, the left hand almost completely transformed into a dragon claw.
Second Soul Skill: Dragon's Fury!
Without hesitation, Wang Dong activated his (her) second soul skill, and the purple color, millennium soul ring lit up around the spirit. The dazzling purple ring instantly overshadowed the soul rings of Wu Feng and Ning Tian, and the wings of the Goddess of Light Butterfly also shone brightly.
Golden light patterns on the blue-gold wings resembled burning miniature suns, radiating dazzling light across the arena.
These patterns were all concentrated on the forewings, constantly gathering brilliance in front of Wang Dong.
At this moment, Wang Dong was completely bathed in gold, becoming almost the most dazzling presence in the sixteen arenas.
Because of this, the spectators were all drawn to Wang Dong's actions.
The Goddess of Light Butterfly's second soul skill, Butterfly God's Light.
Wu Feng, wielding Dragon's Fury, was instantly engulfed by the Butterfly God's Light. However, Wu Feng's defense, wielding Dragon's Fire and Dragon's Fury, had reached an astonishing level.
Under the illumination of the Butterfly God's Light, Wu Feng persisted, and the situation once again reached a brief stalemate.
"Seven Treasures are famous, three..."
Ning Tian, who was about to unleash her soul skill, suddenly froze. In the next instant, her entire body vanished, while Huo Yuhao immediately withdrew his mental attack.
Taking advantage of Ning Tian's preparation to enhance herself with her soul skill, Huo Yuhao's eyes shone brightly, and a terrifying mental energy fluctuation suddenly erupted, this time targeting Wu Feng.
Bang!
The Dragon Fire and Dragon Fury on Wu Feng's body were instantly shattered. This time, the Butterfly God's Light completely broke through Wu Feng's defenses. After taking this blow, Wu Feng was no longer able to fight and fell into a coma after landing.
"The match is over!"
Seeing this, the teacher in charge of proctoring immediately announced the result. Only then did everyone rush forward and take Su Yu and Nanmen Yun'er away, as both sides had sustained relatively serious injuries in this match.
"Teacher Zhou, will Su Yu be alright?"
Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao were worried as Su Yu was taken away, having witnessed his Mirror Spirit shatter under Nanmen Yun'er's full-force attack.
"Don't worry, Shrek Academy has top-tier healing spirit masters. Su Yu's injuries won't be too serious, don't worry!"
Zhou Yi, watching Su Yu being carried away, wasn't entirely confident. After all, a shattered spirit was a serious injury, and Su Yu's severe injury was something she hadn't anticipated.
When Su Yu woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.
"Teacher Zhou, where am I?"
Looking at the unfamiliar place and Zhou Yi before him, Su Yu asked instinctively.
"This is where Shrek Academy treats its students. Your situation is a bit special, but you're basically fine." Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did Wang Dong and the others win?" Looking at Zhou Yi, Su Yu wanted to know the final result, since he wasn't sure if Huo Yuhao could defeat them after losing his ability to merge with Wang Dong.
Zhou Yi come to Su Yu and said, "You won, but I don't encourage what you did."
"I understand, teacher. What happened to my martial soul?" Zhou Yi's state was a bit strange; he could clearly sense that something was wrong with her behavior.
"Your martial soul seems to have mutated. Since your martial soul shattered, after the academy teachers' treatment, the other half of your shattered body can no longer be reassembled, but we don't know what happened now."
Under Su Yu's questioning, Zhou Yi do not choose to hide anything. Su Yu tries to activate his martial soul; it has returned to normal, but the remaining fragments hasn't dissipated.
"Your condition is still under observation. There shouldn't be any problems yet, but you must inform us if any arise." Zhou Yi was somewhat worried, but the Shrek Academy's healing soul master told her that the shattered fragments of his martial soul wouldn't affect Su Yu. Even so, it was always better to be cautious.
Su Yu stood up and nodded to Zhou Yi, "I understand, Teacher Zhou."
Back in the dormitory, Wang Dong was relieved to see Su Yu unharmed.
"I was seriously injured because of you, making me worry for nothing!"
Wang Dong angrily punched Su Yu, muttering things like "I worried for nothing," while still kicking and punching him, scaring Su Yu into running out of the dormitory.
"Are you really alright?"
Su Yu calmly eat grilled fish with Wang Dong at Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall, and Huo Yuhao asked doubtfully.
Su Yu patted his chest confidently and said shamelessly, "How could a little girl seriously injure me? If the competition didn't prohibit injuring opponents, that little girl definitely wouldn't have survived."
"All you do is talk big all day. How old are you to dare call someone a little girl?" Wang Dong looked at the confident Su Yu with disdain.
"Teacher Zhou Yi kept telling us not to visit you. We thought something had happened to you. After all, we saw your martial soul shattered by Nanmen Yun'er." Seeing Su Yu's lively appearance, Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the two were no longer worried, Su Yu said, "Alright, alright, this time it was my fault. As compensation, I'll cover your meals for the next week. Is that alright?"
Money? We have plenty of money. Eat whatever you want, as long as you can eat it all.
After Huo Yuhao finished packing up, the three of them went directly to the window for gold soul coins. Su Yu waved his hand and told them to order whatever they wanted.
After dinner, back in the dormitory, Su Yu casually handed Huo Yuhao a delicate box.
"Su Yu, what's this?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously
Su Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "Open it when you get back. Just accept it; it's a token of my appreciation. Don't refuse me, we're friends, right?"
Back in the dormitory, Su Yu began practicing his Mysterious Heaven Skill. After this competition, he planned to hunt for his second soul ring.
Although he do not know what these fragments were, he figured some things would reveal their uses once he tried them.
Just as Su Yu is trying to activate the fragments, something strange happened.
What happened next left Su Yu completely dumbfounded.
