Wang He knew that all of this was orchestrated by Princess Jiujiu, so without the slightest hesitation, he chose to rush toward Jiujiu's coordinates.
He was prepared to fight to the death for a long time, first eliminating one with all his might, and then dealing with the rest.
"Escape? Where do you think you can escape to? Take this punch."
As a Soul Emperor, Wang He was incredibly fast; he caught up with Xu Jiujiu in just a single breath.
The fighting style of the Body Sect's Soul Masters is straightforward and direct, with every punch landing hard.
He raised his enhanced fist and still brutally pounded it into Xu Jiujiu's body. The terrifying force shattered her soul guide shield once again. Wang He then grabbed hard and went straight for Xu Jiujiu's chest.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Star Protection."
The Star Crown Martial Soul above Xu Jiujiu's head suddenly emitted a dazzling light. The silver light cascaded down her body, echoing the fourth purple soul ring. Eighteen bright, jewel-like points of light shimmered, forming an indestructible energy barrier that firmly protected Xu Jiujiu inside.
Inside the barrier, Xu Jiujiu stood with her arms crossed, smiling as she looked at Wang He, who resembled a caveman.
"I never said I was going to run away. I'm staying right here and letting you hit me. But can you break through my defenses?"
Wang He wielded his iron hammer and slammed it hard against the Star Guardian Barrier. After a minute of hammering, the barrier remained unmoved, and he felt somewhat discouraged. However, soon after Qingfeng gave him a signal, he chased after Huang Heyun on the other side.
"It is indeed quite tough, but I am never alone. Since you want to be a turtle here and unable to move, then someone will naturally deal with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingfeng's figure suddenly appeared. His sixth black soul ring shone brightly. With the blessing of the Bronze-level second awakening, a phantom that looked exactly like him appeared behind him, but was several times larger.
Under Qingfeng's control, the phantom's enormous iron head slammed down hard against the long-standing Star Guardian Barrier.
"Boom—"
The deafening roar continued, and for a long time, the entire Star Guardian and the ground even trembled slightly. Moreover, as time went on, the tremors continued to grow stronger.
Meanwhile, Wang He easily caught up with Huang Heyun, and the two soon engaged in battle.
Huang Heyun held a level 5 soul-guided heavy sword, desperately blocking Wang He's attack. However, the difference in his soul power was too great compared to Wang He's, and even simple passive blocking was extremely difficult for him.
They are indeed geniuses, but aren't the two main body sect fighters on the other side also geniuses?
Everyone is a genius, but the difference in soul power of nearly ten levels is like an insurmountable barrier, making people feel hopeless.
"Third Soul Skill, Starry Night Technique."
Xu Jiujiu's attention was always on Huang Heyun. Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, he immediately amplified his soul skill Starry Sky Technique to assist him.
In order to ensure the proper maintenance of the Star Guardian and the Starlight Spell cast on Huang Heyun, her head began to release more star power, and silver starlight shone, making her look even more holy and radiant.
The Star Power, which had been accumulated for a long time for this All-Continent Elite High-Level Soul Master Competition, was meant to be used at this moment.
At the same time, powerful star power shone from her head. The star soul bone she obtained from the Seven-Colored Star Deer provided her with a vast amount of star power to command. Under her control, this star power converged towards her forehead.
A point of light, like a diamond, slowly appeared and gradually expanded as the power of the stars was injected.
After receiving the boost, Huang Heyun was able to put up a fight, but unfortunately, the gap between him and Wang He was still too large, and the powerful boost was still a drop in the ocean.
Soon, various injuries appeared on his body. Wang He's fists were extremely hard, and they were also enhanced by his soul skills. Although he had not undergone a second awakening, every punch was so heavy that it chilled one to the bone.
With his face bruised and swollen, Huang Heyun showed fear as he used his soul power to run towards the Star Guardian after a long time, seemingly seeking refuge inside.
Wang He gave a cold laugh and then chased after him in the direction he had fled. However, Huang Heyun seemed to be in a panic and ran towards Qingfeng instead.
Qingfeng saw Huangheyun running towards him, wanting to hide in the long-standing Star Guardian for protection.
He naturally had to block it.
He exchanged a glance with Wang He, then blocked Huang Heyun's view and, together with Wang He, surrounded him in the middle.
Moreover, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the three of them were currently on the same horizontal line.
At this moment, Huang Heyun, who was surrounded, suddenly had his third soul ring flash, and a strange aura emanated from his body.
Several dark shadows appeared, transforming into ropes that entangled Qingfeng and Wang He.
"Heh, are you grasping at straws in your desperation? What use is this level of restraint? With your mere Soul King level soul power, releasing a restraining soul skill can only bind us for a few seconds at most."
After saying that, the two broke free from Huang Heyun's restraints in an instant. Wang He opened his right arm and reached out to grab Huang Heyun.
However, at that moment, Huang Heyun suddenly grinned.
"One second is enough."
"what?"
Before the two could even process what he meant, they were swallowed up by a golden light.
The long-standing Star Guardian had disappeared, and a fifth jet-black soul ring appeared in front of her. A dazzling silver light emanated from her star crown, enveloping the three people standing in a straight line.
Wang He, Qingfeng, and Huang Heyun were all turned into silver-gold sculptures.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Starry Path".
This is a long-standing killer weapon, a divine skill that Huo Yuhao obtained by hunting the legendary Star Deer Soul Beast with her.
She can completely seal away a Soul Master whose strength is no more than three major stages higher than hers for three seconds, including their Martial Soul.
Moreover, this is a crowd control skill; as long as they are in a straight line, they can be sealed together.
Huang Heyun's actions just now were all intentional, just to lead the two people onto a straight line.
This was a tactic he and Xu Jiujiu had discussed in advance.
Three seconds may seem short, but it can be enough to decide the outcome of a battle.
In the instant that she activated the Starry Path Brilliance, the soul skill belonging to the Star Soul Bone on her forehead had also completed its charging.
The dazzling, diamond-like light suddenly emitted a beam of light, shooting towards the three sealed individuals.
Because the group was very close, the starlight reached Qingfeng, who was closest, in just a moment. Just before it was about to pierce him, the referee appeared.
After moving Qingfeng, Huangheyun, and Wang He aside, the shot, unobstructed, struck the defensive barrier at an extremely fast speed.
It left behind a dark pit.
After unleashing a series of terrifying attacks, Xu Jiujiu's face turned deathly pale. However, a bright smile appeared on her face because the referee's appearance meant that she had won this round.
.
"In the first match of the 2-2-3 battle between the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy and the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy, the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy wins. Both sides, please leave the stage in an orderly manner. The second contestant will now enter the arena."
After being rescued, Huang Heyun immediately rushed to Xu Jiujiu's side, who was pale and exhausted, helped her up, and the two walked off the competition stage together.
Even if Qingfeng and Wang He were unwilling, the matter was already settled.
The two stared intently for a long time, still shaken by her soul-binding technique.
The moment they were hit, they thought of the first match of the elimination round, when Shrek Academy was fighting against Holy Light Academy, and the spirit fusion skill used by Huo Xingling and Wang Dong. The two were exactly the same.
However, one is a martial soul fusion skill, and the other is a simple soul skill, so the difference is not small.
This also completely extinguished their arrogance.
In this world, soul skills are extremely important. Even if your cultivation level is superior to your opponent's, who knows what kind of bizarre soul skills they might possess?
Losing the first match was a bad start, and Long Aochen was somewhat disappointed, but that was all; nothing could shake his spirit.
"Zhu Feng, Lin Yi, you two are going to this match. You can only win, you cannot lose."
Upon hearing this, the two tall figures immediately stood up. After exchanging glances with Qingfeng and Wang He who had just stepped off the stage, they were somewhat alert and resolutely stepped onto the competition stage.
The Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy dispatched two unassuming Soul Kings this time.
The four people on the competition stage adjusted their positions and then looked at each other warily.
The referee gave the whistle, announcing the start of the match.
This time, no fog was released, and even if it were released, it wouldn't have been effective.
The moment the match began, Zhu Feng's martial spirit was released instantly. His leg muscles immediately became several times thicker, and at the same time, the length of his legs doubled, almost half the length of his upper body, which looked very strange.
Five spirit rings pulsed slowly beneath his feet.
Aside from the hair, skin, and eyes, the other parts of the spirit body will become very strange after fusion.
"First Soul Skill, Lightning Kick"
The first yellow soul ring beneath his feet was released, and then arcs of electricity flickered on his leg spirits. In the next instant, his figure vanished from the spot.
The next moment, he appeared in front of Xingquan and Mohui from the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy.
The two had barely activated their martial spirits when the enemy attacked them.
I was immediately shocked.
He hastily released his soul-guiding shield to resist, but was still kicked far away.
Chasing the wind, he pressed his advantage and unleashed his third soul skill, which made his left leg grow even larger. Yellow earth-elemental light enveloped it, and a yellowish-brown barrier formed around it, making it look incredibly heavy.
The combination of extreme speed and weight made his kick incredibly powerful.
"The feet of the fallen stars".
With one kick, he sent Xingquan, shield and all, flying onto the stage. Then he unleashed a double kick, creating a terrifying sonic boom in the air.
Mo Hui's martial soul is the Spotted Leopard. After possessing it, he was about to go and rescue Xing Quan, but Lin Yi had already arrived.
"His eyes are captivating."
Lin Yi's martial soul is his eyes. He is also a martial soul master, but although he has a physical martial soul, he has the ability to attack from a distance.
His attacks were swift and continuous, constantly interrupting Mo Hui's aggressive moves.
Xingquan was hit by a combo attack and collapsed in pain. His fifth soul ring flashed.
His entire body began to turn black and white. At the same time, his tiger claws became even larger, with sharp claws gleaming coldly as they desperately resisted Zhu Feng's whip-like leg attacks.
He wanted to use the soul tool, but he was at a loss.
From the very beginning, the match was dominated by the opponent's rhythm.
In battle, rhythm is very important.
The attacks, as swift and relentless as a storm, while not particularly powerful, were highly purposeful, designed to give the opponent no chance to react.
Seeing that Xingquan had caught his breath, he began to resist.
His feet shimmered with light once more, and his black iron legs instantly turned bronze.
"Physical Martial Soul, Bronze-level, Second Awakening."
All attributes of the dual-leg martial soul are doubled.
He once again firmly suppressed Xingquan.
Meanwhile, Mo Hui was also not having an easy time.
His opponent, whose true martial spirit was his eyes, had his black light in his eyes turn bronze.
Lin Yi's attacks began to speed up and become increasingly powerful. At first, Mo Hui was able to withstand them, but now he was finding it increasingly difficult.
Offstage, watching the intense, hard-hitting matches, all the spectators were filled with excitement; this was the kind of match they wanted to see.
The other participants, however, showed signs of fear on their faces.
The Body Sect and the Body Martial Soul truly live up to their reputation.
Second awakening, invincible among peers.
From the very beginning, this battle fell into the rhythm of the Body Sect. Their storm-like attacks were irresistible. Everyone put themselves in the shoes of the Body Sect, only to find that they were helpless.
This is just a battle between two Soul Kings. What if it were a Soul Emperor or a Soul Saint?
It's simply unimaginable.
At this moment, Xu Jiujiu also felt a sense of relief.
He was able to win entirely because of that sealed soul skill.
This is a completely unreasonable skill, which is why they were able to win the last match. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to defeat two Soul Emperor-level Body Sect Masters by simply relying on underhanded tactics.
Over time, countless clashes have taken place on the competition stage.
But it's all one-sided.
The second awakening of the Body Sect consumes a great deal of soul power, but the opponent's ability to withstand it has also reached its limit.
After the final knockback, Zhu Feng kicked Xing Quan off the stage with one kick, and then together with Lin Yi, they dealt with Mo Hui, who was only good at speed.
"In the second match of the 2-2-3 battle between the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy and the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy, the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy emerged victorious, bringing their record to one win and one loss. Please proceed to the third match in an orderly fashion."
"Boss, we won!" Zhu Feng and his companion boasted as they stepped off the stage, in front of Qing Feng and Wang He.
"What's there to be happy about? Losing is abnormal."
"you"
Long Aochen shook his head, then slowly walked up with a Soul King from the Body Sect and an Auxiliary Soul Emperor from the Heavenly Soul Empire.
"Let's go. This match has wasted too much time. It's time to end it."
On the other side, Xu Changsheng smiled sinisterly, then his Soul Saint clone gave him a meaningful look before leading the remaining two Soul Kings of the Star Luo Empire onto the competition stage.
"It's time for this farce to end. Root Sect, Root Sect, you want to make a high-profile debut? I'll make sure you don't get your wish."
Long Aochen and his two companions stepped onto the competition stage. All three were wearing the school uniforms of the Heavenly Soul Empire, so there was nothing particularly outstanding about them. What attracted more attention was the only black-haired beauty among the three.
Although she was wearing a school uniform, her long legs were still particularly eye-catching. At the same time, a purple-gold net bag covered her shiny black hair, which added to her youthful appearance.
However, her aura was somewhat cold, and she maintained a very far distance from Long Aochen. After going on stage, she silently stood at the very edge of the arena. It was obvious to everyone that she was a support-type Soul Master.
After the three players from both sides entered the arena, the referee quickly appeared, gave Xu Sansheng a meaningful look, and then revealed a wicked smile on his face before announcing: "This is the last time both sides will adjust their positions. During the match, no violations of the rules are allowed. The match will end when the opponent touches the target."
Long Aochen didn't make any move, just crossed his arms and looked like he was the most arrogant person in the world. The Soul King next to him stood to his right, while Ye Lengxin still stood at the farthest point, looking coldly at everyone.
On the other side, Xu Sansheng saw Long Aochen acting arrogantly and didn't stand for it. Instead, he took a step forward, his eyes filled with a hint of provocation.
The atmosphere between the two sides was tense, and the referee gave the order for the match to begin.
Long Aochen gave a wicked smile, his body radiating a blue light, and a terrifying aura pressed down on Xu Sansheng and the other two.
Seven soul rings appeared beneath his feet: one yellow, two purple, three black, and one red. The red soul ring, carrying the might of a ferocious beast, spread in all directions.
"A 100,000-year soul ring? This Soul Saint of the Heavenly Soul Empire actually has a 100,000-year soul ring."
This is the second 100,000-year soul ring to appear in this competition, and it is also a 100,000-year soul ring obtained at the seventh level. How can this not be shocking?
What kind of monster must one be to be able to absorb a 100,000-year-old soul ring while still in the seventh soul ring?
It's simply unimaginable.
This competition is going to be interesting.
After Long Aochen's martial soul was attached to him, a phantom several tens of meters tall appeared behind him, looking exactly like him, and the movements were also exactly the same, both clasping their fists and looking down at the three people opposite them.
His seven spirit rings slowly rose and hovered on the giant's chest, like seven points of light.
Long Aochen gave another wicked smile.
"Are you stunned? This is just the beginning!"
After saying that, he raised his hand and then made a pressing motion. The sky immediately darkened as the huge palm pressed down on Xu Sansheng and the other two.
"Playing with clones? I'm an expert at that."
After saying that, Xu Sansheng made a hand seal, and starlight surged from his body, condensing into a huge silver light shadow behind him. He threw a punch, knocking away the palm strike. At the same time, his punch also smashed towards Long Aochen's phantom.
Xu Sansheng lived for a long time, and his control over power reached its peak.
Even with the simplest exertion, he can unleash power to the extreme, achieving a return to simplicity.
Long Aochen was at a disadvantage in just one exchange.
"Interesting. The Star Luo Empire actually has a genius like you? Looks like today won't be too boring."
Despite his avatar being suppressed, Long Aochen showed no displeasure; instead, he revealed a sense of excitement, like a hunter encountering a powerful prey.
"Let me see your magnanimity."
He took off his coat, revealing his well-defined upper body muscles, which then shone with a bronze luster.
His martial soul is skin, and it appears cyan in its normal state, which means that his martial soul will awaken at the bronze level.
When he released his first soul skill, a gaseous, transparent crescent blade appeared on his arm, and his entire body seemed to be wrapped in a thin film. Then, he rushed towards Xu Sansheng like a bolt of lightning.
As you can see, the blast wave created a crater the size of a palm on the racing platform where he exerted his force, which gives you an idea of just how powerful his impact was.
"Boom—"
With a loud bang, Long Aochen's fist smashed a huge crater into the ground where Xu Sansheng had just been standing, and sand flew everywhere in the air.
Xu Sansheng flipped in the air and then stood easily on the nebula avatar.
Long Aochen missed his attack, raised his head, and looked at Xu Sansheng with a hint of madness in his eyes.
"Quite quick reflexes. So, how are you going to dodge my next attack?"
Suddenly, the sixth black soul ring behind him began to glow. Countless intricate crimson patterns appeared on his bronze skin. His soul power was also released rapidly, illuminating the patterns on his body. In an instant, Long Aochen seemed to transform into a demon from hell.
As soul power was injected, the crimson markings on his body shone even brighter. Petals of fire began to appear around him, like flowers blooming. A terrifyingly high temperature began to permeate the air, as if even the air itself was about to be scorched.
Long Aochen's sixth soul ring came from the three-headed hellhound, whose cultivation was close to 100,000 years. This soul ring endowed him with extremely powerful hellfire, and it was this soul skill that turned him from a good melee warrior into a melee mage.
However, he quite liked the feeling of burning everything to ashes.
The hellfire, with its temperature approaching the extreme of fire, spread towards Xu Sansheng's nebula body under Long Aochen's control. The scorching heat seemed capable of burning everything into nothingness.
In the sky, Xu Sansheng looked down from his high vantage point.
He felt nothing about the flames.
He clasped his hands together, and a dazzling diamond began to appear in his palms. As soon as the diamond appeared, countless crescent-shaped light arrays shimmering with silver light appeared behind him. With the infusion of soul power and star power, the light arrays joined together to form a whole.
At that moment, Xu Sansheng grabbed the diamond with one hand, and with a crisp cracking sound, countless dazzling points of light appeared in the sky.
The starlight converged into the enormous array of light behind him, and when it emerged, the points of light had transformed into spheres of light.
Xu Sansheng gently pressed down, and the silver orbs of light began to fall rapidly, their target being Long Aochen, who was playing with fire.
"Taste the feeling of being cleansed by the stars!"
Xu Sansheng's attack extinguished all of Long Aochen's flames in the first round, and a continuous stream of light orbs fell like a rain of light, crashing down on the three members of the Benti Sect.
Although Long Aochen's soul skill was eliminated, his skin martial soul defense was outstanding, and he could easily withstand these light ball attacks. However, the other two were not so lucky.
Ye Lengxin's defensive soul-guiding shield was activated, and she immediately summoned her martial soul. A dazzling black begonia flower bloomed, which she held above her head with both hands, releasing her soul power to resist Xu Sansheng's attacks.
Upon seeing this, Xu Sansheng couldn't help but let out a soft "Eh."
"Nine-Heart Begonia
On the field, not only Xu Sansheng recognized Jiuxin Haitang, but many other teams in the competition also recognized it.
"I never imagined that the Nine-Heart Begonia, passed down through generations, would still have a lineage after ten thousand years?"
In the Shrek Academy rest area, Wang Yan stood frozen in place.
"This is simply unbelievable."
Teacher Wang Yan was surprised again?
Everyone at Shrek Academy looked at Wang Yan in unison.
This team leader isn't very capable, but he's good at making people jump out of their skin. He's surprised us countless times since the elimination rounds.
"Professor Wang Yan, do you have any explanation?" Shrek Academy didn't arrange any assistant departments this time, so they were quite interested.
Just as Wang Yan was about to speak, a clear and resounding sound suddenly rang out.
"The Nine-Heart Begonia is hailed as the strongest support-type martial soul. Its support ability even surpasses that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. No matter how many soul rings the owner of the Nine-Heart Begonia adds, they only have one soul skill: healing. No matter what kind of injury it is, it can heal immediately."
The one who spoke was Mu Chenxi, who had been pulled over by Zhang Lexuan to keep things in order.
The Mu En family inherited a corner of the wisdom of the Golden Iron Triangle from ten thousand years ago, including Thousand-Handed Asura, the Shrek Seven Devils, and Yu Xiaogang, the teacher of the Sea God Tang San.
The Mu family's collection of books is the most comprehensive on the continent besides the Sea God Pavilion, so it's normal for Mu Chenxi to know about it.
Beibei knew this, but since the eldest sister was showing off, he didn't want to interrupt.
"Wow, boss lady, you know so much!" Xu Sanshi said with a fawning smile.
Although Mu Chenxi only arrived last night, under Wang Yan's arrangement, they conducted a simple trial run.
The result was self-evident: the men were beaten to a pulp.
Although Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yaoheng, and Ling Luochen have almost recovered from their injuries, they are not at their peak condition. Mu Chenxi even dealt with them without releasing Xiao Jin.
Everyone knew about the extent of her violence.
It was at this time that Xu Sanshi started calling her "Big Sister". When he learned that she was Bei Bei's cousin, he became even more respectful to her.
"So-so, just need to study more." Mu Chenxi accepted Xu Sanshi's flattery while also taking a jab at him.
Wang Yan nodded slowly after hearing Mu Chenxi's explanation.
"Chenxi is right. So, if BenTi Sect advances today, and you ever face BenTi Sect again, no matter what battle tactics you use, you must eliminate her immediately. After all, the existence of Nine Heart Begonia on the battlefield will only be a nightmare for the enemy."
"Received." Everyone said in unison.
Mu Chenxi nodded slightly. Although she considered herself to be very strong, she had never underestimated any opponent.
On the competition stage, after Ye Lengxin released her martial soul, several beams of auxiliary light shot out from her body towards Long Aochen. However, Long Aochen had already begun to be injured under Xu Sansheng's bombardment.
Although these starlight attacks looked unremarkable, each one was incredibly powerful, seemingly containing something strange, and were not simply simple soul power and starlight attacks.
With the aid of the Nine-Heart Begonia's light, Long Aochen felt a warmth spread through his body, and the pain in his body lessened considerably.
Without needing to release his martial spirit to heal his injuries, his dodging speed also increased significantly, making it virtually impossible for Xu Sansheng's attacks to hit him.
However, at the very moment Ye Lengxin joined the battle, Xu Sansheng's two Soul Kings also used their speed Soul Skills to fly towards her at top speed.
In a match, if the opposing team has a powerful support-type Soul Master, everyone will prioritize targeting the support. This not only suppresses the enemy's support but also restrains at least one enemy.
The martial souls of the Star Luo Empire's soul masters are mostly tiger and leopard type. Song You's martial soul is the Lightning Leopard, which is as fast as lightning. In almost the time it takes to breathe, he reached Ye Lengxin. With the strength of his arm muscles, the long sword in his hand went straight for Ye Lengxin's face.
Ye Lengxin's expression was solemn, but she was not panicked. She waited for the soul-guided shield on her body to be triggered.
After all, although the Heavenly Soul Empire resisted soul tools, it was not as serious as the Body Sect. They still used the most basic defensive and flight soul tools.
The expected clanging sound did not occur. Instead, a figure suddenly slammed Song You's body several meters away.
It's Ma Fei!
The fourth contestant of the Body Sect, a level 59 Power Attack-type Soul Master.
His martial spirit was rather unusual, which left a deep impression on Ye Lengxin.
Ma Fei's martial spirit is his left hand and left arm.
To anyone else it looks like two martial souls, but in reality there is only one.
However, this unique martial spirit allows Ma Fei to simultaneously possess both powerful arm attacks and agile leg movements.
He is an extremely versatile Soul Master. Although his Soul Power has not reached the level of Soul Emperor, his combat strength is no less than that of Qingfeng and Wang He, and in some aspects, he is even more outstanding.
Song was knocked away again, but Zhu Sheng, with the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul, quickly appeared, his sharp cat claws slashing towards Ye Lengxin's neck.
"Netherworld Thrust"
The Zhu family is a prominent noble family in the Star Luo Empire, and they have been related by marriage to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion for generations.
The Zhu family's Netherworld Cat is an extremely powerful agility-based martial soul.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Mountain Shaking Strike."
The fourth black soul ring behind Ma Fei shone brightly, his arm suddenly thickened, and at the same time, a terrifying shockwave was generated from his palm. Ma Fei raised his enhanced palm and slammed it hard against the ground.
A terrifying shockwave appeared, and everyone in the area was uncontrollably thrown back, including Ye Lengxin, who was being protected by Ma Fei.
Thanks to him, her defensive soul-guided shield was successfully activated.
However, Ye Lengxin only suffered the residual force, while Zhu Sheng, Ma Fei's primary target, had already been blasted several meters away. Even though he used his soul power to resist desperately, he was still seriously injured.
Blood even spilled from the corner of his mouth.
After finally managing to control his body and land safely, his fifth soul skill quietly lit up.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Netherworld Ghost Shadow."
As a Soul King, his strength is not weak. It's just that Ma Fei's attack was too sudden and he didn't have time to react. But from now on, he will not make any more mistakes.
Under the shadowy shadows, all attacks are futile; he is the ultimate assassin.
"Let's work together to take him down, otherwise we won't be able to get close to that support class."
"Alright, let's take him down first." On the other side, Song You also changed his appearance. His fourth soul skill was lit up, the Lightning Three Transformations was activated, and his hair stood up, crackling with electric arcs. At the same time, more cheetah features appeared on his body.
His fourth soul skill comes from a ten-thousand-year-old lightning three-headed turtle, which provided him with this transformation soul skill. After using it, he can enhance his body's abilities by 30% in all aspects. Moreover, since it is a soul skill bestowed by a turtle-type soul beast, it focuses more on defense, increasing defense by 200%.
"You think I'm an assassin? I think I'm more like a warrior."
A fierce battle is about to erupt
"Are you serious? Then I can't let you down!"
As he finished speaking, a bronze light shone from Ma Fei's body. His arms and legs became noticeably thicker and turned bronze.
The Bronze-level Martial Soul of the main body undergoes a second awakening, resulting in a 100% increase in all attributes.
Secondary awakening is not something that is used lightly, but he used it now.
The goal was to quickly defeat the opponent; after all, in the blink of an eye, the captain was at a disadvantage.
He refused to believe it. In his eyes, Long Aochen was invincible, unmatched in the All-Continent Elite High-Level Soul Master Competition. However, in his peripheral vision, he discovered that Long Aochen and Xu Sansheng were being beaten without any resistance in close combat.
It absolutely shocked him.
"We must finish this quickly. With Ye Lengxin's help, my soul power consumption will be reduced by at least half. In other words, I can use the second awakening for a much longer period of time."
"A second awakening at the Bronze level is enough for me to take on two opponents at once."
The three of them were locked in a fierce battle, and Song could clearly feel Ma Fei's strength increasing.
Zhu Sheng, who had unleashed several phantom clones, also felt that the flesh he had cut had become even stiffer, making it impossible to break through his defenses.
"The Soul Masters of the Body Sect are indeed freaks; their second awakening is just too overpowered."
While they were in the spectator area, Xu Changsheng had already explained to them what a physical spirit is and what a second awakening is. He emphasized that every spirit master has a strong period and a weak period. When dealing with a spirit master with a physical spirit, as long as you avoid their strong second awakening, the best time to counterattack is when the time runs out.
Both Song You and Zhu Sheng were extremely fast. After a brief exchange, the two even had a short meeting in the air.
"They fought? He went berserk. It's going to be tough. The captain said we should avoid their power spikes."
Song glanced at the battlefield opposite.
"Damn it, the captain is about to win, hold him back and don't let him go to support."
"good"
After saying that, the two separated and fought Ma Fei again.
"Nine-Heart Begonia, its healing light shines forth, releasing its full power."
At this moment, all six of Ye Lengxin's soul rings lit up, and at the same time, her enormous soul power surged forth, sending an extremely dense healing light flying towards Long Aochen in the distance. Ma Fei immediately felt the auxiliary light on his body dimming considerably.
Feeling a lightness in his body, Ma Fei's unease intensified.
How intense was the captain's battle that Ye Lengxin was willing to give up her support for him in order to fully assist the captain?
Damn it, I can't waste any more time on these two, but
Although he wanted to help Long Aochen, he knew that once he left, the two from the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy would immediately attack Ye Lengxin, who was powerless to fight back. It was a real headache.
With a sudden thought, he stopped abruptly, and the first and fifth soul rings behind him lit up at the same time.
His arms were draped over his legs, and a strong light wave was generated at the point where they met.
"Fine, you forced me to do this. I didn't want to use this move."
He is now ready to use his killer weapon.
He has been a freak since childhood. The strangeness of his martial soul goes far beyond that. It also has some heaven-defying effects. For example, the combination of his first soul skill, which focuses on the arms, and his fifth soul skill, which focuses on the legs, can produce very bizarre effects.
Self-integrated martial soul fusion technique.
Arm and leg solo dragon dance.
Even Long Aochen couldn't withstand this move.
"Boss, watch me turn the tide!"
"oops"
Before Ma Fei could finish speaking, something flew at high speed from afar and hit him, interrupting his actions.
"Captain?"
Pushing the figure aside, Marvin saw its true form: Long Aochen, swollen like a pig's head and unconscious.
As he stood up, about to retaliate, a cold light flashed on his neck, and he immediately froze, too afraid to move.
At the same time, Song You and Zhu Sheng immediately captured Ye Lengxin, who was unprotected.
"You've lost." Xu Sansheng smiled coldly.
Yes, we lost.
Marvin helped Long Aochen up, whose body was still glowing with silver light. It was unclear whether the light was from his Silver-level Second Awakening or from Xu Sansheng's Star Attack.
However, the captain had lost his ability to fight, and he himself was powerless to fight back against him.
Only by facing fear yourself will you know how terrifying it is.
It wasn't until Xu Sansheng attacked and threatened him that he learned what his captain had just gone through.
It must have been really tough on him.
He simply raised his only remaining hand and used the other to support Long Aochen.
"Referee, we concede."
The referee was already on stage the moment Long Aochen was knocked unconscious.
"Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy versus Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy, using the 2-2-3 formation, Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy scores five points, winning the match and advancing to the quarterfinals. Everyone, please leave in an orderly manner."
After the referee announced the result, a deafening cheer erupted from the stands.
This is Xingluo City, so naturally most of its inhabitants are citizens of the Xingluo Empire.
It is a cause for great joy and celebration that our own empire's team has achieved victory.
Moreover, they won so beautifully.
After Xu Sansheng unleashed Starlight Bombardment, Long Aochen released his powerful Martial Soul True Body, flying directly into the sky to fight Xu Sansheng.
The two men were punching each other hard, which was very exciting for the audience.
Xu Sansheng was simply throwing punches, but every punch, every move, and every stance seemed to contain terrifying power and artistic conception, leaving Long Aochen with no power to fight back.
In the end, they easily won the game.
After this battle, all the teams' fear of the Star Luo Empire has increased even more.
"Interesting. The Body Sect is best at using combat techniques and manipulating momentum. This Long Aochen, even if he hasn't reached the point of oneness with heaven and man, is close. Yet, he was actually crushed in combat techniques. Unbelievable." Mu Chenxi from Shrek Academy said excitedly.
"Indeed, this Xu Sansheng is as strong as a monster."
"Boss, you also think he's very strong?"
"Of course, I originally thought coming here would be boring, but I ended up meeting such an interesting opponent, so it was definitely worth the trip."
After some adjustments were made on the competition stage, the referee was still the same person. After a few polite words, the referee got right back on track.
"The second match of the Round of 16 will be between Shrek Academy and the Necromancer Team. Please have the captains of both teams come up to the stage to draw lots."
"Um?"
The referee's words immediately piqued everyone's interest.
Shrek Academy versus the Necromancers Team, this is so exciting! The first match was heavyweight, the second one will be even more incredible. Everyone has to be on high alert for today's match.
Upon hearing the referee's words, the stunningly beautiful white-haired figure, Ling, happily stood up and walked straight towards the competition stage.
Meanwhile, Mu Chenxi, who was sitting with her legs crossed in the Shrek Academy rest area, also looked excited.
Unexpectedly, in his first match, he would face the Necromancer Holy Law team, whom Wang Yan had repeatedly been wary of when he introduced them. He immediately teleported onto the stage and faced off against Zero.
"The two sides began drawing lots."
The referee's voice rang out, signaling the two to draw lots quickly. However, under the puzzled gazes of the two, Zero smiled and raised his right hand.
"On behalf of all the team members, I forfeit this match."
