The Nine Hearts Begonia was suppressed right from the start.
Soul power was doubled, but healing was halved.
The Royal Sky Dou Team's tactics were falling apart.
And the root of it all?
It was just Tang Lan's unintentional release of the ultimate life attribute.
—He hadn't even been targeting them specifically.
"It seems the Royal Sky Dou Team is having problems?" Dou Dou wondered, confused. "Look! Tang Sect Academy's Ning Rongrong is flying up!"
Hesitating.
Oscar had already created a Flight Mushroom Sausage, allowing Ning Rongrong to fly into the air.
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile, second ability: Speed!"
Zhu Zhuqing received the boost and hid in the shadows.
Meng Yiran moved diagonally, targeting Oslo, who was also an agile attack type.
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile, first ability: Strength!"
Dai Mubai was bathed in light, initiating his White Tiger Vajra Transformation, directly attacking Yu Tianheng.
The Shi Brothers activated their Black Tortoise Shell, flanking Dai Mubai to block him.
A Blue Silver Grass vine wrapped around Dai Mubai's waist. Tang San used Crane Control, Dragon Catch, throwing Dai Mubai over the two of them.
"Third Soul Skill: Spider Web Bind!"
A purple spider web descended, enveloping the Shi Brothers.
Seeing no way to dodge, the two brothers actually took off their "turtle shells," using them as shields and throwing them in a spiral, one clockwise and the other counterclockwise.
Their intention was to shatter the Spider Web Bind.
But as an over-aged absorption, the toughness of the Spider Web Bind was beyond imagination.
It stubbornly withstood the destruction from the two turtle shields.
The Shi Brothers' subsequent attacks all missed.
They could only dispel their martial souls and then reform them – a process that consumed a significant amount of energy.
At this moment,
Dai Mubai also charged towards Yu Tianheng, his tiger claws poised to clash in a direct confrontation!
Yu Tianheng was naturally unafraid.
"First Soul Skill: Thunder Dragon Claw!"
The electric dragon claws shot through the air, causing a violent distortion of the surrounding air, and erupting with heart-stopping thunderclaps.
"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Bodyguard!"
A white light shield appeared on his body.
With the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Dai Mubai forcibly broke through the Thunder Dragon Claw.
He continued to charge towards Yu Tianheng!
Yu Tianheng's eyes became more serious, and he no longer held back.
"Third Soul Skill: Thunder Fury!"
Lightning crackled around him, and he entered a berserk state, his attack power increased by 100% and his soul power by 50%!
He collided head-on with Dai Mubai, sending out a shockwave!
This forced Dugu Yan and the others, who were coming to assist, to take a half-step back.
And in that instant!
Zhu Zhuqing leaped out from Yu Tianheng's shadow, her shadow claws aimed directly at his left chest.
"Watch out—"
The warning came too late.
The shadow claws had already bypassed the protective lightning, piercing through his heart with unstoppable force.
She held his heart in her bare hand!
Dai Mubai didn't hesitate for a moment, turning to attack the disjointed Shi Brothers.
Yu Tianheng froze!
He turned his head in disbelief, but Zhu Zhuqing was already gone.
The light of the Nine Hearts Begonia descended, desperately trying to heal Yu Tianheng's chest.
The usual instant healing was met with unprecedented resistance this time.
The power of the shadows wantonly wreaked havoc, preventing the wound from closing and even causing it to worsen.
The people on the stage, including Meng Shenji, were frightened and stood up!
Yu Tianheng was a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. If he died in the friendly competition...
Fortunately.
Tang Lan released his suppression of the ultimate life attribute, and the healing effect of the Nine Hearts Begonia was restored.
Although the wound still couldn't close, at least it wasn't getting worse.
The price was…
Most of Ye Lingling's attention was occupied.
Therefore,
When Zhu Zhuqing emerged from her shadow, she didn't even notice.
She could easily be finished.
But,
"First Soul Skill: Phoenix Fire Line!"
Ma Hongjun opened his mouth and spewed flames, forcing Zhu Zhuqing to retreat into the shadows.
"This is unbelievable!" Dou Dou exclaimed, "The core combat strength of the Royal Sky Dou Team, their captain, Yu Tianheng, was eliminated after only exchanging blows?!"
"This fat player reacted quickly, saving his own support."
"Look! Dugu Yan has released her third soul skill - Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison!"
Dugu Yan spat out a thick purple mist from her mouth, which then spread out.
The pungent stench made people feel nauseous and dizzy. It enveloped most of the arena, but cleverly bypassed the members of the Royal Sky Dou Team, preventing them from being poisoned.
"First Soul Skill: Jade Phosphorous Red Poison!"
Red mist spread out, enveloping the Royal Sky Dou Team.
Each of them, as if injected with hormones, saw their speed increase significantly.
"Second Soul Skill: Jade Phosphorous Blue Poison!"
Oslo, as an agility-attack type, surprisingly began using a trade-wounds tactic with Meng Yiran.
Even with Nine Hearts Begonia healing.
But the wounds inflicted by the snake-head staff seemed to feel no pain, not affecting his counterattacks at all.
Incredibly fierce!
For a time,
Under Dugu Yan's enhancements, the Royal Sky Dou Team, despite having lost their main combat force, had momentarily suppressed the Tang Sect Academy team.
Could Ning Rongrong just stand by and do nothing?
With a lift of her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she was ready to unleash her power. "Hmph—"
Ma Hongjun, the little fatty, with wings sprouting from his back, charged straight towards Ning Rongrong.
"Second Soul Skill: Burning Phoenix!"
"First Soul Skill: Phoenix Fire Line!"
He forced Ning Rongrong to control her azure wings and retreat, escaping the range of the Phoenix Fire Line.
"Seven Treasures, out with the Glazed Tile, one: Power!"
"Seven Treasures, out with the Glazed Tile, two: Speed!"
Retreat and enhancement, all in one.
Even based on each person's ability characteristics, either increasing speed or increasing strength.
"Fatty, didn't expect that, did you?" Ning Rongrong said proudly, "This is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Mind Control, and this princess has already cultivated to the Four-Heart Constant!"
She had worked hard to catch up with Tang Lan.
Ma Hongjun's face was gloomy, and he flapped his wings, still wanting to pursue.
Ning Rongrong's blue wings behind her turned red, transforming into fire wings that shot out quickly.
With Ma Hongjun's pitiful range, he couldn't touch her at all.
Below.
Ning Rongrong's 30% boost instantly turned the tide of the battle.
They were relentlessly pummeling the Royal Sky Dou Team.
However, Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison controlled the field.
Coupled with the Shi Brothers' Black Tortoise Shell spirits, they were tough and resilient.
It was still difficult to instantly kill anyone in the short term.
As long as they couldn't kill anyone, Ye Lingling's Nine Hearts Begonia could restore their condition.
The battle seemed to have reached a stalemate.
But everyone knew the Royal Sky Dou Team was just barely hanging on.
"Did you all notice? Sect Master Tang hasn't made a move from start to finish!"
Doudou exclaimed—
"He's been standing right there, not even shifting his feet!"
"He's watching the show!"
"Sitting in the VVIP seats at the arena, arms crossed, watching the show!"
"He's so handsome! Ugh—"
At this moment, everyone finally noticed Tang Lan, who was like an outsider at the back.
One by one, they were dumbfounded.
So, this intense battle has been 6 versus 7 all along?
Emperor Xueye was somewhat stunned.
"Are my Royal Sky Dou Team so weak?"
"Your Majesty is overthinking it. It's just that the Tang Sect Academy team is too strong." Ning Fengzhi comforted him, "My little Lan hasn't seemed to make a move, but Your Majesty, observe closely: everyone's waist is bound by Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor. That's Little Lan remotely outputting his soul power to replenish their condition."
He can do that?
"No wonder their soul skills are used so frequently, yet their condition remains excellent." Qian Renxue sighed, "Even without taking action, Little Lan has such an effect. This Elite Tournament, the Tang Sect Academy team's chances of winning are extremely high."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Only the three teaching committee members, including Meng Shenji, looked very grim.
Yu Tianheng was instantly defeated, which no one had expected!
With Tang Lan providing support,
it was only a matter of time before the Royal Sky Dou Team lost.
Suddenly!
Tang Lan's left eye, with its double pupils, manifested—Copy: Life Burial!
However, it didn't devour anyone.
Instead, it began to grow sporadically in the center of the arena.
Like an air purifier, it devoured the poisonous mist in the air.
The poison that Dugu Yan used to restrict the Tang Sect team and enhance the Royal Sky Dou Team.
It visibly faded away, until it finally vanished completely.
In contrast, Tang Lan was perfectly fine.
"Impossible!" Dugu Yan shrieked. "You promised you wouldn't use soul skills! You broke your promise!"
