Chapter 56: Ren Jun: They might be the strongest opponents.
Kong Ling, Xu Tianyi, Xu Wei.
Although none of the three were flying-type Spirit Masters, they weren't without means to 'attack the air'.
Kong Ling's Sun Gods Light could do it, but hitting the target wasn't that easy.
And then there was Xu Wei!
Xu Wei's First Spirit Skill, Lightning Flash, was called a divine skill not just because it could grant immunity to physical attacks, but also because he could transform into lightning after activating the Spirit Ability.
The direction of lightning isn't fixed; who says it can't go upwards?
At first, Xu Wei hadn't thought of this. Even after activating his Spirit Ability, he still scurried around on the ground.
But under the guidance of his Class Teacher, Ren Jun, his control over his First Spirit Skill grew stronger, and he developed abilities he hadn't imagined before.
For example, now he could control the lightning he transformed into to move upwards.
Although Xu Wei wasn't a flying-type Beast Spirit, after activating his First Spirit Skill, Lightning Flash, he gained the ability to traverse the sky!
The speed of Lightning Flash was extremely fast; even those with good eyesight in the audience could only see a flash of lightning streaking upwards.
And at this moment, Yuan Qingshuang, who was in mid-air, had no idea that her crisis had already arrived.
It wasn't until this flash of lightning reached Yuan Qingshuang's back that she became aware, but it was already too late.
The lightning dissipated, and Xu Wei's figure appeared above and behind Yuan Qingshuang.
Xu Wei, having lost the Lightning Flash, would naturally fall, but for him, a moment was enough to strike.
The dagger in his hand was wrapped in lightning. Even though it was an ordinary weapon made of rare metal, a dangerous aura still flickered from it.
This was also the result of Ren Jun's teaching. Lightning naturally possesses powerful destructive force. Mastering a trace of its power and fusing it with a weapon, even if it's not a Spirit Ability, can enhance attack power.
Xu Wei seized the opportunity, aiming his dagger at the back of Yuan Qingshuang's head.
Yuan Qingshuang, who had just sensed the danger, could only slightly turn her head. Although she saw Xu Wei falling behind her, she had no time to react.
"Ding!"
As a crisp sound entered her ears, Yuan Qingshuang clearly saw a nearly transparent barrier appear behind her, blocking the attack.
At the same time, she understood that she had been eliminated!
She had originally thought she saw the light of victory, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she was eliminated by Xu Wei, whom she had overlooked.
This psychological gap made Yuan Qingshuang unable to accept it for a moment.
And at this moment, the referee's announcement of the result had already reached her ears.
"Match over, Kong Ling's team wins!"
There was no enthusiastic applause or cheers from the audience, as this match involved Soul Master Classes from various academies within the Sun Moon Empire, and had no direct connection with most of the audience here.
Only the classmates in their class were clapping and shouting wildly, celebrating for Kong Ling and his team.
But the voices of dozens of people seemed insignificant in this Soul Dueling Arena, which could accommodate a hundred thousand people.
Most of the audience were discussing quietly with those around them, because this match was indeed spectacular.
Although the match was not long, it could certainly be described as full of twists and turns, exceeding their expectations.
And those teams that had not yet been eliminated also looked solemn after watching this match, evidently shocked by the strength displayed by Kong Ling and his two teammates.
This time, the abilities of Kong Ling and his two teammates could be said to be almost completely exposed to the public.
Whether it was Kong Ling's powerful Second Spirit Skill or Xu Wei's unexpected First Spirit Skill, both posed a great threat to everyone.
Originally, everyone's attention had been on Kong Xuan, who had not yet made a move. It wasn't until the end of this match that they saw the reality.
Even if Kong Xuan didn't participate, they probably wouldn't be confident in saying they could definitely win.
Aside from Xu Tianyi, who went to receive treatment for his injuries, Kong Ling and Xu Wei quickly returned to the audience seats.
All the classmates were there, and instantly the two were met with another round of cheers, like citizens welcoming victorious generals.
After the two sat down next to Kong Xuan, their gaze turned to the Soul Dueling Arena below. The second match was about to begin!
Watching the match was also a way to gather information.
The remaining teams were basically not weak in strength.
And confrontations between such teams often forced out each other's trump cards.
Xu Wei held a small notebook. After each match, he would record the information of the winning side. These people were very likely to be their opponents later.
However, besides Gu Wenyu, a Second Ring Spirit Master from Dongyang Advanced Soul Engineer Academy, who used his Second Spirit Skill and displayed the powerful effects of a mental-type Spirit, Xu Wei felt that other opponents were completely unworthy of attention in front of them.
However, although he thought so in his heart, the information he recorded was not discounted in the slightest.
"You all need to watch this match carefully. I think they will be your greatest opponents."
Ren Jun suddenly spoke, which instantly made Kong Xuan and the others perk up, and their gazes towards the Soul Dueling Arena became more inquisitive.
The next match was Capital City Advanced Soul Engineer Academy against Risheng Advanced Soul Engineer Academy.
As both sides entered the arena, Kong Ling's gaze focused on one person. She knew this person; it was Shui Ling.
At the same time, she also knew that the team her Class Teacher, Ren Jun, said they needed to pay attention to was Shui Ling's team!
She had always regarded Shui Ling as an opponent. This time, she wanted to see what their team's strength was truly like!
As the match began, all three Spirit Masters from Risheng Advanced Soul Engineer Academy activated their Spirits. Three yellow spirit rings indicated that they were three First Ring Spirit Masters.
On the other side, of Shui Ling's team of three, only two activated their Spirits, while the other stood at the back, looking completely unprepared to make a move.
Although the opponents were only three First Ring Spirit Masters, being able to reach this point meant their strength must not be weak.
The audience members also hadn't expected that in this situation, the people from Capital City Advanced Soul Engineer Academy would still try to hide their strength.
However, when they saw the spirit rings of the two who had activated their Spirits, the questions that had just arisen in their minds instantly extinguished, because they might truly possess this strength.
Shui Ling and Lu Hanwen, who had activated their Spirits, each had two yellow spirit rings constantly pulsating on them. Both of them were Second Ring Great Soul Masters!
Each additional spirit ring brought a significant improvement to a Spirit Master.
Normally, it was very difficult for a First Ring Spirit Master to defeat a Second Ring Great Soul Master.
Shui Ling's team was one of only two teams among the participating teams that had two Second Ring Great Soul Masters.
The other team was naturally Kong Xuan's, it was just that Kong Xuan, this Great Soul Master, had never participated in a battle.
As the referee announced the start of the match, Lu Hanwen charged straight out.
He was clearly a lion-type Beast Spirit, and his physique underwent a noticeable change after activating his Spirit.
He alone charged towards the three opponents, seemingly intending to take on all three.
The three opponents, seeing this, did not panic. They prepared to respond in place, with no trace of fear in their eyes.
To be able to reach the top thirty, they naturally had some skill.
"Roar!!!"
With a lion's roar, Lu Hanwen had already rushed in front of the three.
Du Ming, one of the three, as a defense-type Spirit Master, stepped forward. His First Spirit Skill, Rock Armor Shield, instantly enlarged and spread out, a thick stone shield blocking in front of the three.
Lu Hanwen also lit up his First spirit ring. His claws were covered with a bright golden light, and he slammed them fiercely onto the opponent's shield.
His First Spirit Skill, Cracking Gold Claws, came with armor-piercing effects, making it most effective against defense-type Spirit Masters like this.
"Bang!"
The shield vibrated violently, and fine cracks could already be seen on it. Du Ming grunted, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he gritted his teeth, holding on firmly without retreating.
It was at this moment that his teammate Qian Song's figure suddenly flashed out from behind Du Ming.
The Wind Shadow Leopard granted him extreme speed. With his First Spirit Skill, Wind Shadow Assault, his figure transformed into three afterimages, attacking Lu Hanwen from different angles.
It seemed impossible for Lu Hanwen to completely dodge these three attacks, but he suddenly lifted both feet off the ground.
His body had no leverage in mid-air, yet he managed to complete a complex set of dodging movements in mid-air, causing all three of Qian Song's attacks to miss!
Such precise control immediately caused gasps of admiration from the audience.
They hadn't expected Lu Hanwen, this attack system Spirit Master, to be able to perform such a dodge.
Kong Xuan, who had been paying close attention to the situation in the Soul Dueling Arena, narrowed his eyes. In his golden pupils, he could see things that ordinary people could not.
He knew that the series of movements just now were not completed by Lu Hanwen.
The true "mastermind" was actually Shui Ling, who was at the back!
