The next day, Ye Yu went along with Tang San and the others to Great Fighting Soul City.
There were only two days left until the promotion tournament ended and the finals would begin.
The opponent for today's promotion competition was Thunder Academy.
Xiao Wu was the first to take the stage, defeating five members of Thunder Academy in succession, but she was also greatly exhausted, with her stamina and soul power nearly depleted.
The five students on the stage, being defeated by a much younger girl, felt quite disheartened.
"Vice-Captain, make sure to give her a lesson later."
"Sure, I'll defeat her and restore Thunder Academy's honor."
The Vice-Captain took the stage, proudly declaring, "My name is Lei Dong! A Level 43 Control Type War Soul Sect! Martial Soul, Thunder Spider!"
Xiao Wu's brows furrowed slightly, knowing this battle wouldn't be easy to win.
Lei Dong was Thunder Academy's powerful Control Type, second only to Thunder Academy's captain in strength.
Lei Dong released his Martial Soul, with eight streaks of lightning surging out from his back, resembling eight spider legs. His soul ring configuration was two yellow and two purple.
The battle began, and Lei Dong inserted his eight lightning spider legs into the ground, spreading an electric web while closing his eyes, obviously to avoid being controlled by Xiao Wu's charm skill.
The electric web stopped at a diameter of twenty meters. Although it couldn't cover the entire stage, as Lei Dong approached Xiao Wu, the lightning range also moved closer.
Getting close, Lei Dong stopped and surprisingly lifted the ground's electric web with his hands, shouting loudly as it spread towards Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu pushed her speed to the limit, but the descending electric web carried a strong suction, and its falling speed suddenly increased.
Seeing no time to evade, Xiao Wu activated Instant Teleportation.
However, Lei Dong had anticipated the teleportation distance, and at the moment Xiao Wu teleported to a spot, two electric strands shot from his palms, striking at Xiao Wu from the left and right sides.
Being a Control Type, Lei Dong was adept at seizing timing opportunities. Xiao Wu, having just teleported before regaining power, narrowly dodged the attack by unleashing her potential.
After evading, Xiao Wu realized she couldn't remain passive. She activated Waist Bow, launching her body like a projectile, and kicked out straight legs like an arrow shot from a bowstring.
Swish!
Xiao Wu's figure slipped through a larger gap in the electric web, but her body still got shocked; even without touching, the lightning carried suction.
Below the stage, Tang San clenched his fist, feeling tense and thinking Xiao Wu should admit defeat, as she had done impressively so far.
If Xiao Wu were at her peak, she could attack Lei Dong, but with her stamina and soul power greatly exhausted, and her body numbed by the lightning, she landed after stopping her forward motion.
Lei Dong's palm released two lace-like electric strands once more, perfectly timed, arriving as Xiao Wu landed. But Xiao Wu used her hands to strike the ground powerfully, springing her body up, letting the electric strands barely graze her face.
Lei Dong didn't expect that even after fighting five matches, she'd still have such responsive reflexes; his Fourth Soul Skill lit up.
Thunder Spider legs behind Lei Dong burst with more lightning, while his hands surged with it too. Ten streaks of lightning coalesced to form a brilliant blue electric circle.
This was his Fourth Soul Skill, God-locking Ring.
Like Tang San's Blue Silver Cage, it was almost unavoidable. In a flash of blue light, Xiao Wu's body was trapped, suddenly entirely immobilized with paralysis.
The electric halo kept constricting, squeezing Xiao Wu's waist so tightly it couldn't be grasped.
Xiao Wu wanted to concede, but the paralysis made her feel weak, her whole body trembling, unable to speak clearly.
"Xiao Wu! Concede now!" Tang San's face was extremely upset, shouting in alarm.
However, Xiao Wu tried to open her mouth, but her lips quivered.
Lei Dong's lips curled into a cold smile, and Tang San gritted his teeth, knowing Xiao Wu was numbed all over, unable to speak.
Tang San shouted, "Withdraw your Fourth Soul Skill! He's already lost!"
Lei Dong laughed, "Lost? He hasn't fallen, nor conceded, how could it be a loss?"
Tang San's eyes flared with anger, losing control and roaring, "Damn it! You did this on purpose!"
Tang San was extremely anxious and furious, already decided he would fight next! He had to give this Lei Dong a ruthless lesson!
Bang!
Xiao Wu lost all consciousness, weakly falling to the ground, passing out.
After ten seconds of Xiao Wu not getting up, Lei Dong won.
At that moment, as Tang San prepared to step onto the stage, a shadow suddenly leaped onto it.
Bang!!
With a roar upon landing, the whole stage trembled; where it landed, rubble flew.
As the scattered stones settled, Ye Yu's grim face appeared.
Ye Yu said in a deep voice, "I'll take this battle."
Tang San nodded, quickly rolling Xiao Wu down the stage with Blue Silver Grass, letting her eat a Recovery Sausage.
After checking, Tang San breathed a sigh of relief; she wasn't injured, just fainted.
However, even so, Tang San was extremely furious at heart.
Ma Hongjun and the others were also gritting their teeth.
"Despicable, he did that on purpose just now."
"Boss Yu, give him a hard beating!"
The people from Thunder Academy saw Ye Yu on stage, faces turning somber as memories of Ye Yu's performance in group battles, and his severe injuries on Huo Wu, surfaced.
The Thunder Academy captain shouted, "Lei Dong, concede if you must."
"Got it!"
The match began, and Ye Yu did not release his Martial Soul or soul rings, only his left arm and hand were covered with Golden Bone Armor, solely using his left arm's External Soul Bone and his own strength and soul power.
"Hmph, not planning to use Martial Soul again? Then maybe I can win!"
Lei Dong once again cast a lightning web over Ye Yu.
Bang, bang, bang...
Ye Yu moved forward instead of backing off, closing in step by step, his grim face unsettling Lei Dong, who however, smirked, "Not dodging? Letting anger cloud his judgment?"
The lightning web descended, and under everyone's astonished gazes, Ye Yu raised his hands to grip the web, forcefully pulling it apart left and right!
Rip!
To everyone's shock, the lightning web was torn in two!
Lei Dong's eyes widened, in disbelief, "How is this possible? Just with his physical body, he withstands my web, even tears it; did my lightning not harm him at all?"
Lei Dong, astonished, released his Fourth Soul Skill once more, the God-locking Ring instantly trapping Ye Yu, allowing Lei Dong to relax.
However, the next second, everyone was utterly shocked once more!
Ye Yu grabbed the electric ring with both hands, and with a powerful pull, broke it!
Lei Dong's eyes widened to the extreme, utterly shocked, "How could this be..."
All the students in the team were extremely amazed, what kind of immense power is needed for this? Without using Martial Soul or Soul Techniques, how could such strength be possible?
Instinctively, Lei Dong stepped back, his own lightning utterly ineffective against Ye Yu.
Lei Dong gave up fighting any longer, intending to concede.
"I..."
Bam!!
The moment Lei Dong said the first word, Ye Yu exploded with full speed! Instantly turning into a streak of black shadow and swiftly reaching Lei Dong, rendering him unable to react at all.
With a muffled sound, Ye Yu's right palm slammed harshly onto Lei Dong's full face, instantly silencing him. The powerful right palm tightly grasped his face, and Lei Dong's body, under such inertia, bent back, while Ye Yu's right hand forcefully pressed down.
Boom!!!
With a resounding boom, Lei Dong was directly smashed into the stage, his head sinking into the ground.
Everyone from Thunder Academy was shocked speechless, "Lei Dong!"
