Kong Ling's idea was actually very simple: since her breakthrough to the Second Ring didn't shock them, she would use her strength to shock them.
Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei were both geniuses, and their strength was also very strong.
Previously, without revealing her trump cards, Kong Ling wasn't necessarily their match, as her First Spirit Skill didn't offer much in terms of maneuverability.
But now the situation was indeed different; with her Second Spirit Skill, she was like a completely different person compared to before.
When the two Spirit Abilities were combined, the number of tactics she could employ greatly increased.
After acquiring her second spirit ring, Kong Xuan had spent a lot of time practicing with her, and now she had basically mastered her Second Spirit Skill.
Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei exchanged glances, not expecting Kong Ling to make such a request.
Kong Xuan then said, "Ling'er's Second Spirit Skill is very powerful. Even if you two team up, you might not be her match!"
Kong Xuan's words indeed made the two take it seriously.
But at the same time, it also sparked their strong curiosity about Kong Ling's Second Spirit Skill.
"Alright! Then let's have a Soul Dueling Arena!"
Xu Wei clapped his hands and looked at Xu Tianyi, who also nodded in agreement.
"I'll be the referee. You two can attack freely."
Kong Xuan said as he retreated into the distance.
Previously, when the four of them practiced in the Soul Dueling Arena, Kong Xuan was always the referee.
With his eyesight, he could naturally accurately judge who would be in danger.
Moreover, the sky-supporting spear's First Spirit Skill could strike across space, allowing him to block attacks at critical moments to prevent anyone from getting injured.
This was a result verified through many Soul Dueling Arena matches, and the three of them were very convinced and reassured by Kong Xuan as the referee.
Soon, both sides had already taken their stances.
Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei hadn't discussed tactics beforehand, but before the fight began, they exchanged glances.
Compared to Xu Tianyi's poker face, Xu Wei's expression was clearly more animated.
However, seeing him winking and gesturing, Xu Tianyi actually deciphered his meaning, though he wasn't sure if his interpretation was correct.
"Begin!"
With Kong Xuan's command to begin, both sides instantly activated their Spirits.
An orange-red mini-sun rose above Kong Ling's head. Even from dozens of meters away, Xu Wei and Xu Tianyi could feel that the temperature was definitely much higher than when she was in the First Ring.
Looking at Kong Ling's spirit rings, one yellow and one purple spirit ring rose from beneath her feet. The second spirit ring was indeed a thousand-year purple one.
Xu Tianyi stared at that purple spirit ring, his gaze becoming much more resolute.
The Purple Bright Heaven Extinguishing Dragon attached itself to him, and purple-gold dragon scales covered his right arm.
Xu Wei was enveloped in lightning, holding a short blade in his right hand, calmly observing Kong Ling's situation.
As the battle began, both of them were incredibly serious. The thousand-year Spirit Ability indeed made them feel threatened.
The two exchanged glances again, then simultaneously moved, quickly darting towards Kong Ling's position.
Kong Ling stood still, making no move.
She looked at the two rushing towards her and thought, "You're still underestimating me!"
Kong Ling's second spirit ring immediately lit up, and the purple light of the thousand-year Spirit Ability reflected in Xu Wei and Xu Tianyi's eyes. Both of them simultaneously thought, "Not good!" Just as they were about to activate their Spirit Abilities, they suddenly felt a wave of heat coming from all directions.
Golden-red light pillars rose before their eyes, and in an instant, they found themselves trapped within a cage.
The entire cage seemed to be composed of light and fire, like flowing magma, emitting a heat that ordinary people would find unbearable.
This was Kong Ling's Second Spirit Skill, Blazing Sun Cage!
Instant cast + area of effect + damage. One could only say it lived up to being one of the most suitable Spirit Abilities for the Sun Martial Soul passed down through the royal family.
Trapped in the Blazing Sun Cage, Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei felt as if their skin was instantly parched, and the moisture in their bodies was rapidly evaporating.
Xu Wei's face changed dramatically. This type of elemental attack was most effective against his First Spirit Skill. Lacking offensive power, he couldn't even violently escape and could only "wait for death."
Xu Tianyi, on the other hand, extended his right dragon claw, cautiously touching the Blazing Sun Cage. Even with dragon scales covering it, he could still feel the scorching heat within.
But this test also let Xu Tianyi know that the dragon scales could provide protection, which gave him hope of escaping.
However, just as Xu Tianyi raised his hand, intending to use his sharp and pointed dragon claws to cut through the Blazing Sun Cage, Kong Ling's second attack had already arrived!
Although the Blazing Sun Cage Spirit Ability was powerful, it could only last for eight seconds.
Kong Ling naturally wouldn't waste this hard-won optimal attacking opportunity. Her first spirit ring flashed, and a Sun God's Light shot out from the mini-sun above her head, aimed directly at Xu Tianyi.
Kong Xuan, acting as referee, made his move at this moment. His understanding of Kong Ling's Spirit Abilities was no less than Kong Ling's own.
Knowing that Xu Tianyi absolutely couldn't block this next blow, he directly thrust his spear. Under the effect of his First Spirit Skill, the sky-supporting spear passed through space, scattering that Sun God's Light.
"Alright, this Soul Dueling Arena is over!"
After Kong Ling proactively withdrew the Blazing Sun Cage, Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei, whose clothes were already soaked with sweat, instantly felt a wave of coolness and began to frantically gasp for air.
Xu Tianyi, after releasing his Spirit, was a bit better, as Beast Spirit Masters receive a physical boost.
Xu Wei, at this moment, lay directly on the ground of the Soul Dueling Arena, looking half-dead.
And Kong Ling, the "instigator" of all this, was now skipping over to the two of them, laughing, "How's my Spirit Ability?"
"Very strong!"
Xu Tianyi, who was usually a man of few words, gave a direct and fair assessment, a hint of apprehension flickering in his eyes.
He felt that even if his attack had truly landed just now, he probably wouldn't have been able to tear apart the cage that trapped him.
Xu Wei, still lying on the ground, showed no intention of getting up. He simply changed his posture and glanced at Kong Ling, wailing, "Sister Ling, you're too ruthless!"
"I really almost got roasted into jerky just now!"
Kong Ling snorted, "Now you know how powerful it is, right!"
Kong Xuan also walked over and looked at Xu Wei lying on the ground, saying, "I told you before not to rely too much on your Lightning Flash. Now you know what it feels like to be countered, right?"
"I know, I really know!"
Xu Wei said with a voice that was almost crying, "Sister Ling completely counters me now. Once I'm covered by this cage, I can't use any of my abilities."
Kong Ling proudly stated, "Although my Second Spirit Skill, Blazing Sun Cage, can only last for eight seconds, breaking it isn't easy to do, and eight seconds is enough time to do many things!"
Just now, Xu Wei and Xu Tianyi were trapped for at most about four seconds. If it had been another four seconds, even if Kong Ling did nothing, just the heat of the Blazing Sun Cage would have been enough to make them lose a certain amount of combat power.
Hearing the eight-second duration, Xu Wei also shivered and cried out, "As expected of a thousand-year Spirit Ability! Sister Ling, please don't use this Spirit Ability on me again!"
"Of course! We are teammates, after all. In the future, this Spirit Ability will only trap our enemies!"
Kong Ling's small hand clenched in the air, looking like she had victory in her grasp.
Upon hearing this, Xu Wei instantly recovered completely and sat up from the ground.
"With Sister Ling having such a crowd control Spirit Ability, won't our team be slaughtering them when the time comes!"
Kong Ling confidently said, "That's natural!"
