Yan Shaozhe left in a hurry.
"Dean..." Du Weilun was also stunned, unable to hide the shock in his widened eyes. Zhu Ziyang had truly opened his eyes today. A martial soul that simultaneously possessed both Light and Death attributes, a spirit ring configuration of one yellow and two purple — all of it left Du Weilun deeply shaken. Most importantly, Dean Yan actually lost his composure and rushed off to the inner courtyard. As for why, he could already guess.
On the battlefield, the trio of Beibei were equally shaken by Zhu Ziyang's spirit ring configuration. With a bitter smile, Beibei said, "Ziyang, you really are full of surprises! But we're not that easy to defeat either!"
As his words fell, the three of them simultaneously activated their soul skills. Beibei's right arm lit up with crackling lightning, while Xu Sanshi's shield exuded a deep glow. The two charged at Zhu Ziyang from the left and right. Meanwhile, standing behind them, Xue Weiwei activated her first and second soul rings in succession. A dark yellow aura spread out instantly, enveloping the entire battlefield.
None of Zhu Ziyang's team realized how dangerous this yellow aura was.
Seeing Beibei and Xu Sanshi charging toward him, Zhu Ziyang immediately understood their plan. However, he remained calm and unflinching, confidently saying to Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya, "Nannan, your priority is to take down Xue Weiwei."
"Understood!" Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya exchanged a glance and moved at the same time.
Jiang Nannan activated her first soul skill, and her body became shrouded in moonlight, her figure taking on an illusory quality. Tang Ya charged directly at Xue Weiwei, her first soul ring glowing as a large Blue Silver Grass net surged toward her.
"Not good!" The moment they moved, both Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya sensed something was wrong. Their speed had significantly decreased — and by no small margin!
"It's her!" They quickly turned their gazes toward Xue Weiwei, who was smiling sweetly at them.
Zhu Ziyang also realized the effect of the faint yellow glow across the arena and his expression grew serious.
Golden Crystal Mystic Deer — First Soul Skill: Light of Slowness!
Golden Crystal Mystic Deer — Second Soul Skill: Light of Slowness!
His mind instantly recalled the information he had read before. The Golden Crystal Mystic Deer martial soul, to be precise, was a branch of the Color Crystal Mystic Deer. All Color Crystal Mystic Deer soul masters, regardless of how many soul rings they possessed, had only one soul skill — a domain-type control ability! Depending on the specific deer type, their domain effects varied: the Red Crystal had a Weakening Domain, the Blue Crystal had an Armor-Breaking Domain, and the Golden Crystal had a Slowing Domain.
This was a martial soul exceptionally suited for battlefield control.
Xue Weiwei's Light of Slowness, bolstered by two soul rings, had a powerful effect. All opponents within the aura experienced a thirty-five percent decrease in body speed.
This type of control ability, targeting a soul master's body speed, was especially cruel to agility-type soul masters. Under normal conditions, Jiang Nannan's Moon Shadow Body would boost her speed by two hundred percent. But now, affected by the Light of Slowness, it was reduced to just one hundred thirty percent!
This was a major weakening, and Jiang Nannan's face was visibly grim.
"Nannan, work with Ya-ya and support each other!" Zhu Ziyang called out, helping to steady Jiang Nannan's mind.
"Right now, you'd better focus on me!" Beibei's voice rang out — he had already reached Zhu Ziyang.
Also affected by the slowing aura, Zhu Ziyang's speed had dropped considerably, and he failed to take the initiative. Beibei's Thunder Dragon Claw slashed down toward him.
Zhu Ziyang immediately raised the Stillness Fate Ending Scythe and met Beibei's attack. A loud bang echoed as the two collided. Beibei's expression shifted, and he was forced to retreat several steps. Yet Zhu Ziyang did not look relaxed, for Xu Sanshi, wielding his Mysterious Nether Turtle Shield, had already charged in. The dark-green shield, enhanced with a stunning effect from his first soul skill, smashed straight toward Zhu Ziyang.
Zhu Ziyang instantly shifted the scythe from a horizontal slash to a vertical chop. The sharp blade slammed onto the turtle shell, sending deep rumbles across the field. Xu Sanshi visibly stumbled back.
No sooner had Xu Sanshi retreated than Beibei charged in again. Zhu Ziyang had to engage him once more, and just as he repelled Beibei again, Xu Sanshi followed up with another attack. The two cooperated with seamless rhythm, putting Zhu Ziyang under continuous pressure.
After several exchanges, Zhu Ziyang had been forced back dozens of meters. The situation did not look favorable.
"Beibei, together!" Xu Sanshi shouted after retreating again, this time not attacking. He waited for Beibei.
"Got it!" Beibei nodded.
Both of their first soul rings lit up again.
Beibei's lightning surged wildly, and his entire aura exploded upward. His dragon-clawed right arm grew even more menacing.
Xu Sanshi's Mysterious Nether Turtle Shield also expanded, a dark aura swirling around it with terrifying intensity.
With soul skills empowered, their attacks became even sharper. Zhu Ziyang was pushed back again and again until, finally, after deflecting another powerful strike, he gained a brief moment to catch his breath.
"You're strong. You deserve to be the first team to force me to use soul skills!" Zhu Ziyang said flatly, his eyes glowing with golden light as two purple soul rings floated behind him. He activated both his second and third soul skills at once.
Second Soul Skill — Light Blessing!
Third Soul Skill — Light Purging Slash!
Seeing this, Beibei and Xu Sanshi grew tense. Ignoring their exhaustion, they charged at Zhu Ziyang, realizing instinctively that they couldn't let him complete his next soul skill.
They were fast — but Zhu Ziyang was faster.
Mastery-level martial soul control allowed him to instantly cast soul skills. In the blink of an eye, the effects of his second and third soul skills raised his combat state to its peak.
As Beibei and Xu Sanshi rushed in, Zhu Ziyang showed no mercy. The golden blade of the Stillness Fate Ending Scythe, radiating supreme light energy, slashed toward them. Beibei raised his dragon arm in defense, but the overwhelming power sent him flying back more than ten meters. When he finally landed, his right arm was trembling uncontrollably.
Even after repelling Beibei, the scythe's momentum didn't fade — it grew stronger. Xu Sanshi immediately activated his second soul skill, summoning a wall of shields in front of him.
But the Stillness Fate Ending Scythe cut through them like a torch through paper. In a flash, they were gone.
The scythe slammed into Xu Sanshi's chest — though he'd managed to block with his martial soul — the sheer force still sent him flying over twenty meters before he crashed heavily to the ground.
"Cough… damn it, that really hurt!" Xu Sanshi groaned, struggling to his feet as he coughed and winced in pain.
"Sanshi, are you alright? Can you keep going?" Beibei hurried over to support him.
"I'll be fine. It's nothing!" Xu Sanshi, though pale, still sounded energetic.
"Good. Then let's continue!" Beibei grinned, a bit better off than Xu Sanshi.
The two stood up, preparing to charge again — but Zhu Ziyang had no intention of giving them another chance.
"It's over."
