Chapter 54: The Powerful Second Spirit Ability
Each round of the Spirit Master Match (Spirit Master Showdown) is determined by a draw.
All the drawing tasks for Kong Xuan's side were handled by Xu Wei.
Kong Xuan felt that Xu Wei might have some luck, as his draws for the past few times were all relatively early.
Take this round of the twenty-nine to fifteen competition; although they didn't get a bye, they were the first to appear.
The sky was clear and blue, and the sunlight shone on the Great Spirit Arena, which could accommodate 100,000 people, adding a touch of sacredness to today's event.
Compared to the opening day of the competition when there were only over five hundred participating teachers and students in the audience, today's audience seats were sparsely filled with many people.
Clearly, after the Soul Master Class Showdown progressed to this point, many people were very interested in the upcoming matches.
So, the extra audience members today were all teachers and students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
"Both teams, please enter!"
As the broadcast sound rang out, the two teams in the preparation room slowly walked out.
Kong Ling walked at the very front, her eyes firm and bright, and Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei behind her were also full of fighting Spirit.
When they walked through the contestant aisle (passage) and appeared in the Soul Dueling Arena, even though they were five hundred meters apart, they could still see their opponents for today.
Kong Ling's side naturally had no emotional fluctuations, but the three people on the opposite side couldn't help but feel a hint of joy.
Because they saw that Kong Xuan had not entered the arena!
Kong Xuan was currently sitting in the audience, surrounded by members of his class, with his Class Teacher Ren Jun beside him.
As of now, out of the eight teams from Kong Xuan's class, three teams remained.
Such data was already sufficient to illustrate the quality of the students in their class; they were indeed far stronger than those from other academies.
Ren Jun looked at the Soul Dueling Arena below and asked Kong Xuan beside him, "It seems you have a lot of confidence in them."
Kong Xuan smiled upon hearing this, "Does Teacher not have confidence?"
Unexpectedly, Kong Xuan would retort with such a question; Ren Jun was stunned for a moment: "The opponent is very strong. Until the very end, I can't be sure of the outcome."
In the Soul Dueling Arena, when both sides stopped at a distance of one hundred meters from each other.
This was the initial distance set for them by the competition.
"Match — Begin!"
With the referee's command, both sides immediately completed their Spirit possession.
Amidst a sea of yellow spirit rings, Kong Ling's purple second spirit ring was extremely eye-catching.
Even though many people had known this news beforehand, seeing it with their own eyes in the Soul Dueling Arena still left them deeply shocked.
Hu Qifeng, as a support system food Spirit Master, after making three spirit power-enhancing candies for his teammates to consume, actually turned and ran backward.
Clearly, for the upcoming battle, he intended to leave it directly to his two teammates.
However, just as he turned around, a scorching sensation came from all directions.
Seeing the golden-red cage instantly form around him, he had no choice but to stop.
Feeling the heat emanating from it, he dared not make any contact.
Not only Hu Qifeng, but Ming Zhe and Yuan Qingshuang were also enveloped in golden-red cages at this moment.
At the very instant this showdown began, Kong Ling actually directly activated her second Spirit Ability!
This was also the strategy Kong Xuan had devised for them yesterday; without his Sky Prohibition Domain, it was indeed not easy to deal with flying Spirit Masters.
So, they might as well go all out from the start, catching the opponent off guard.
In fact, Yuan Qingshuang and their strategy was also to go all out from the beginning, but it seems they were a step too late.
At this moment, whether it was Yuan Qingshuang's group or the audience in the stands, most of them had surprised expressions.
They were not shocked that Kong Ling immediately released her most powerful second Spirit Ability, but rather by the sheer power of Kong Ling's second Spirit Ability!
Area-of-effect, instant cast, control—these three points combined were enough to call it a divine skill.
But at this moment, Kong Ling was a hundred meters away from her opponents!
Even if her second Spirit Ability was a thousand-year one, no one expected it to be able to be cast from such a long distance.
Ming Zhe, as an agility-attack system Spirit Master, had no way to counter Kong Ling's thousand-year Spirit Ability at this moment. He felt anxious but helpless.
Yuan Qingshuang, a Spirit Grandmaster with two spirit rings, whose Spirit was ice-attributed, didn't feel too scorching or unbearable even inside the Blazing Sun Cage.
At this moment, she was already preparing to forcefully shatter the Blazing Sun Cage.
On the other side, Kong Ling's trio wasn't idle either. After releasing the second Spirit Ability, the three of them quickly closed the distance with their opponents.
Xu Wei's target was the food system Spirit Master Hu Qifeng at the very back, while Xu Tianyi charged towards Ming Zhe.
Kong Ling, after advancing fifty meters, lit up her first spirit ring. This distance was already sufficient to guarantee the power of Sun Gods Light.
And her target was the opponent's strongest, Yuan Qingshuang.
The match had just begun, and Yuan Qingshuang hadn't expected them to fall into such a desperate situation so quickly.
Without time to think further, Yuan Qingshuang directly unleashed her most powerful second Spirit Ability, Extreme Cold Breath.
A powerful surge of cold air spewed from her mouth. At first, it was just a small current of cold air, but in an instant, it had already transformed into an ice tornado.
While blocking Kong Ling's Sun Gods Light attack, this ice tornado began to spread over the Blazing Sun Cage.
Not only was it freezing with an aura of extreme cold, but the constantly rotating tornado was more like countless blades cutting at the Blazing Sun Cage.
The originally scorching Blazing Sun Cage, which had trapped Yuan Qingshuang, was now frozen.
Kong Ling could feel that under the attack of Yuan Qingshuang's second Spirit Ability, the Blazing Sun Cage would not hold out much longer.
This was due to the attribute counter-effect; otherwise, breaking her Blazing Sun Cage would not have been so simple.
Kong Ling gritted her teeth, thinking that Yuan Qingshuang was truly difficult to deal with, and it seemed her idea of achieving success in one go would not be realized.
Yuan Qingshuang's phoenix wings were like sharp ice blades. When she made her final strike on the frozen Blazing Sun Cage, Kong Ling's second Spirit Ability was finally broken.
The Blazing Sun Cage disintegrated into countless ice shards, a blend of icy blue and golden-red, which looked surprisingly beautiful.
However, at this moment in the Soul Dueling Arena, no one was in the mood to appreciate this beautiful sight.
"Clang!!!"
With a clear phoenix cry, Yuan Qingshuang soared into the sky.
It was also at this moment that, although the eight seconds of the Blazing Sun Cage's existence had not yet passed, Kong Ling actively dispelled the Blazing Sun Cages on Ming Zhe and Hu Qifeng.
Under the scorching heat, a large amount of water was lost from their bodies.
Although they didn't appear to have any injuries at the moment, their combat power had already significantly decreased.
Xu Wei and Xu Tianyi, who had already arrived beside the two, were well-prepared for attack.
After the Blazing Sun Cage was removed, they didn't give Yuan Qingshuang any time to rescue her teammates; their attacks already enveloped Ming Zhe and Hu Qifeng respectively.
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
As two crisp sounds rang out, the two attacks did not land on the enemies but were both blocked by a defensive spirit tool.
This was the referee intervening, which also signaled that Ming Zhe and Hu Qifeng had been eliminated.
Next, it would be a three-on-one duel.
