Ye Yu withdrew his hand from Hu Liena's right shoulder, allowing Hu Liena's body to lighten up and move, yet she remained motionless.
Hu Liena was completely astonished; her brother was just punched off the stage by Ye Yu. If she said she wouldn't play, she would face the same fate.
At this moment, Xie Yue, who had fallen to the ground, looked exceedingly grim. The competition had not been underway for even a minute, and he was already off the stage.
He gritted his teeth, having worked hard for so many years just for this All Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament; they were aiming for the championship, but now he was watching from offstage.
Xie Yue looked towards Bibi Dong and the elders of Martial Soul Hall, only to see their faces were also unpleasant.
Xie Yue felt incredibly guilty; he wanted to rush onto the stage, but as it was a competition, since he was offstage, he couldn't return.
"Damn it!!" Xie Yue glared at Ye Yu, his rage boiling over, having not even had the chance to perform onstage before being blasted away.
Simultaneously, the Martial Soul Hall team's other members had heavy expressions, shocked to the extreme; their captain had just been knocked offstage...
Looking again at the Shrek Team's position, Hu Liena was also restrained, playing chess with Ye Yu; they effectively had only five people left now.
The Martial Soul Hall team felt it was shameful; the captain was blasted off the stage, another teammate was dragged by Ye Yu to play chess, unable to resist.
They had extremely solemn expressions; although it was still five-on-five, with the Seven Treasures Glaze Tower's support, Tang San's five members' soul power levels were on par with theirs, offering no advantage in soul power.
They could only give it their all, not considering rescuing Hu Liena because it would certainly result in the same outcome as Xie Yue.
Xie Yue could only watch from below, unable to understand why Ye Yu's defense was so strong.
The spectators were stunned; originally thinking there would be an exciting match, with both sides evenly matched, but unexpectedly, at the onset, Ye Yu dealt with one of Martial Soul Hall's main forces and controlled another, unrivaled.
Bibi Dong looked deeply at Ye Yu, whose strength was even more formidable than she had imagined.
At this moment, Yan's body was surging with a fiery dark red flame, and the first and second soul rings on his body shone.
Crack!
Yan's clothes shattered, his body expanded, taller than Dai Mubai in the White Tiger Vajra Transformation state.
Dai Mubai exchanged blows with Yan, their fists collided with explosive sounds, simultaneously retreating ten meters.
Three other war soul masters from Martial Soul Hall charged at Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu.
The support light of the support soul master fell on Yan's body.
Boom boom...
Dai Mubai continued exchanging blows with Yan, who, supported, punched Dai Mubai back.
Clang!
At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing's claws slashed at Yan's neck, a clang sound rang out.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing coordinated, with Dai Mubai launching a strong attack and Zhu Zhuqing lurking for a surprise strike.
Zhu Zhuqing frowned; her Netherworld Stab only left a red mark on Yan's neck.
Yan proudly declared, "Although the captain and Liena are restrained, as long as I'm here, we still have a chance! Although I'm a fire attribute strong attacker, I'm similar to your team's Ye Yu; strong in attack, strong in defense too!"
At this point, Ye Yu, who was playing chess with Hu Liena, paused, looked at Yan, and scornfully said, "Don't compare yourself to me; it's an insult to me, or else I'll knock you away too."
Upon hearing this, Yan furrowed his brows tightly, saying nothing.
He chickened out, afraid he'd be blasted away by Ye Yu as well, meaning they'd have no hope of winning.
Yan dared not speak again, fearing Ye Yu would be unhappy upon hearing it and make a move on him.
Ye Yu then looked at Hu Liena, who was absent-minded but constantly monitoring the battle, and said, "If you don't want to play with me, just get off; I'll find someone else on your team to play chess with me."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's face suddenly changed in alarm, earnestly saying, "I won't be distracted anymore; I'll seriously play with you!"
Hu Liena was on the verge of tears, very depressed; she had worked hard on cultivation just to win the championship in this competition, and now that they had reached the final, she couldn't make a move, only accompanying Ye Yu to play chess here.
She could only wholeheartedly play chess with Ye Yu; losing another team member would make it difficult to win.
Seeing Hu Liena starting to play seriously made for an engaging challenge, Ye Yu was satisfied and said, "This is better."
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun were combating three war soul masters. One soul master stepped up, his third soul ring shining, and a white light rapidly formed into a white ring.
This white ring was similar to Huo Wu's Resistance Aura but had stronger repelling power, and getting knocked over would surely cause some injury.
Even if Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun avoided it, it would hit Ning Rongrong behind them. They clearly knew that winning in this situation required defeating Ning Rongrong first, simplifying matters greatly, thereby reclaiming their soul power advantage.
Yet, the three coordinated perfectly; Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong stood behind Xiao Wu in a straight line.
Bang!
The ring charged at Xiao Wu, who directly used her Fourth Soul Skill, golden light suffusing.
The white ring crashed into Xiao Wu; her body remained unmoved as the white ring dissipated.
In a flash, Xiao Wu vanished.
Xiao Wu was initially a close-combat soul master; with this Fourth Soul Skill, opponents couldn't prevent her from getting close.
Xiao Wu teleported to the soul master who cast the white ring, her black hair entwining his neck as the Invincible Golden Body was still active.
The soul master's face drastically changed, quickly reaching out to grab Xiao Wu's hair, but her hair was incredibly smooth; once grabbed, it slipped right through his fingers.
The soul master's face looked ugly, astonished at how he couldn't hold onto it. He wanted to ask what shampoo brand she used.
Xiao Wu activated her Waist Bow, kicking this soul master away.
Xiao Wu didn't pursue for the Eight-Section Tumble, as attacks from two other soul masters already arrived. Xiao Wu deftly dodged them, then performed another teleportation, escaping their attack range.
Bam!!
The soul master crashed at the edge of the stage, briefly fainting, his entire body in pain, spitting blood.
At this moment, Ma Hongjun descended from the sky, initiating his Fourth Soul Skill, Phoenix Roar Heaven Strike.
The opponent was dizzy, the best time to launch this move; scorching pillars of fire erupted from the ground, engulfing the soul master, who screamed miserably as his body was charred black.
Bam!
The soul master crashed down, though he hadn't fallen off the stage, losing all combat power.
Xie Yue frowned, taking on the task downstairs, dragging the teammate away. Medical staff promptly rushed with a stretcher to take the soul master away for treatment.
Tang San remotely planned to control the opposing support, but the support soul master's fourth soul ring shone, white light reflecting onto himself, rendering Tang San unable to lock him with the Blue Silver Cage.
Tang San was surprised, "Immune to control-type skills?"
This support soul master's Fourth Soul Skill was immunity to any control skill, lasting two seconds.
Tang San continued to control as the counterpart reused the skill.
Although aware it was futile, the aim was whose soul power would deplete first.
Seeing Tang San consuming the support's resources, Yan sought to assist but was hemmed in by Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, unable to break free.
Xie Yue, beneath the stage, was incredibly worried, feeling regret. He thought early on he should've ignored Ye Yu and instead restrained Tang San.
However, it was too late to regret; initially, Ye Yu's continuous imposing attacks had incited his anger, prompting the goal of punishing Ye Yu in the match. Hence the first target was Ye Yu for himself and his sister, considering that even a level seventy Soul Saint couldn't withstand the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, nor could Ye Yu.
Yet, evidently, Ye Yu's capabilities were underestimated.
Currently, spectators were extremely shocked. They initially anticipated a closely contested match, with many believing Martial Soul Hall would dominate. However, unexpectedly, Shrek Team held the advantage, and the battle was already decisively clear.
