"What are you doing? Use your Soul Skills!"
The flag bearer shouted in alarm.
However, the two shield bearers who were struggling to hold on didn't even have the strength to retort. In their hearts, they cursed, "We're already using them, but this guy's palms are harder than steel. The shield's recoil force is being pushed back.
Also, why is it that in front of this person, our Martial Souls are somewhat disobedient?"
The shield bearers' Martial Soul was called Profound Flame Heavy Shield. To resist Quan Yi's immense strength, they had successively used three Soul Skills.
Recoil, Scorching Heat, and Impact Force – these three characteristics had been added to the Shield, but Quan Yi was like an iron wall, completely reflecting the effects of the Soul Skills.
Force is mutual. If they couldn't affect the opponent, they would suffer the backlash of the force.
More importantly, when they tried to recall their Martial Souls into their bodies to regroup, their connection with their Martial Souls was momentarily interrupted for some reason, causing them to be unable to control their Martial Souls as they wished.
"Shoot!"
The flag bearer waved the flag, still accurately issuing the order amidst the chaos.
Seeing Quan Yi appear in this way, even though they were terrified, the two archers instinctively activated their Third Soul Skill, Spiral Flame Arrow.
Both bows were drawn to their full extent again, but this time, the arrows condensed on the bows were thicker than before, and the arrowheads were spinning rapidly.
The sound of bowstrings breaking through the air rang out, and the Spiral Flame Arrows transformed into two streaks of red light, shooting towards Quan Yi.
The scorching arrows had increased penetrating power due to their rotation.
Unlike the previous attack, this was a single-target attack skill.
Moreover, it was amplified by a Support System skill, so even a Soul Elder wouldn't dare to treat it casually.
Quan Yi's pupils contracted slightly as he locked onto the two arrows. Although they were faster than the spear holders, they were still not faster than Quan Yi.
He slightly tilted his body, making a movement that allowed him to pass through the gap between the two arrows. However, as his body made this adjustment, the rapidly flying arrows made subtle adjustments along with his movement.
Skill lock-on.
This was a tracking Soul Skill. As Quan Yi made his judgment, he supported himself on the Shields with both hands, like a gymnast performing a vault, and flipped forward.
In the air, he grabbed the upper edges of the two Shields and swung the two giant Shields.
"Sorry, I'll borrow these Shields for a moment."
As the two shield bearers' bodies soared into the air along with the Shields, they vaguely heard Quan Yi's voice in their ears.
At the same time, the feeling of losing contact with their Martial Souls struck again, but it was quickly interrupted by the sensation of weightlessness and the pain of falling to the ground.
Quan Yi swung the weight of nearly a thousand kilograms each, along with the people and the Shields.
In Quan Yi's hands, the strong wind resistance that the wide Shields should have endured seemed to have lost its effect, and they accurately struck the two Spiral Flame Arrows at a speed slightly faster than the red arrows.
"Bang!"
Firelight and metal collided, instantly erupting into a sky full of Fire Stars. The condensed Fire Element arrows were like the Molten Iron used in iron flower displays, and Quan Yi slapped them back at themselves.
This guaranteed hit not only failed to harm Quan Yi but instead made them bear the brunt of their own attack.
Quan Yi looked at the two shield bearers on either side, lying face-up on the ground, and noticed that they had fainted from the recoil. He immediately passed through the Fire Stars and ran towards the two archers.
They collided head-on with the Fire Stars, and the burning sensation and bright light forced them to close their eyes.
Quan Yi quickly struck, knocking the two unsuspecting archers unconscious.
The firelight gradually died down, and the sword-wielding guards protecting the flag stepped forward, their blades gleaming coldly, their killing intent rampant, and the bravery of the swordsmen was on full display.
The two swordsmen coordinated extremely well, one slashing vertically and the other horizontally. The two broadswords burning with raging flames completely cut off Quan Yi's space to dodge left and right.
However, as Quan Yi welcomed the blade light with both hands, the momentum of the fire blades came to an abrupt halt. Quan Yi once again caught the blades barehanded.
The two swordsmen gripped their hilts tightly with both hands, but no matter how much strength they used or how hot the flames were, Quan Yi's four fingers gripping the blades remained motionless.
They instantly understood why the shield bearers had knelt before Quan Yi without any resistance.
Quan Yi twisted his wrist, and the blades instantly broke free from the two swordsmen's hands. Quan Yi gripped the blades, using the hilts as blades, and slashed at their owners.
"Not good, we must recall our Martial Souls."
Although they had the idea in their minds, the reality was not as they wished. Their Martial Souls, which were part of their bodies, were now beyond their control.
"Dong, dong!"
The hilt of the blade struck the neck, and the last two guards in front of the battle flag collapsed.
Just when everyone thought everything was over, a long shadow stood before Quan Yi.
The Support System and Control System Soul Masters, who should have been protected, used his large flag to smash at Quan Yi's head.
The pitch-black and thick metal flagpole looked longer, thicker, and heavier than ordinary staff-like Martial Souls.
No wonder the flag bearer was so tall; to wield such a heavy object, one must possess great strength.
However, this also fits the characteristics of a flag bearer in the army. The battle flag is the representative of the general. As long as the military flag is seen, the soldiers have the motivation to charge.
Therefore, the flag bearer is required to have both martial prowess, courage, and military discipline. Now it seems that this easily overlooked Support System Soul Master is the core of this team.
Quan Yi smiled calmly, his right palm smoothly receiving the force of the heavy staff, deflecting it to his side. Then, with a forceful twist of the flagpole, he directly caused the flag bearer to release his battle flag.
"Good strength, but without the enhancement of a Soul Skill, you can't fully unleash the attack power of the flagpole."
If the battle flag were developed in the direction of a Power Attack System, perhaps the attack power of this Martial Soul could be strengthened several times over.
However, Quan Yi also agreed with the Fire Star Academy's training methods.
Adding attack Soul Rings would only cultivate the battle flag Martial Soul into an ordinary Power Attack System Soul Master, which would instead stifle the potential of the battle flag Martial Soul.
On the battlefield, the battle flag Martial Soul can amplify thousands of people. The power of thousands of people gathered together is definitely stronger than enhancing himself.
Quan Yi looked at the tall red flag standing beside him, revealing an undisguised look of reminiscence.
The sturdy flag bearer looked at Quan Yi, whose physical fitness was even more exaggerated than his own, and his eyes revealed a look of horror.
At close range, he deeply understood the 'Fierce Beast' aura emanating from Quan Yi.
Although he had never seen a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, he felt that if a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast stood in front of him, it should feel like this.
The battle flag being seized caused the morale boost that had been stimulating him to completely dissipate, and the suppressed fear once again crowded his mind, making him unable to move.
The intense sense of crisis made him not even realize that his Martial Soul had been 'taken' by Quan Yi.
Quan Yi handed the flagpole to the flag bearer, smiling and asking, "Your Martial Soul is very good. What is your name?"
The flag bearer subconsciously replied, "My name is Zeng Gong."
