Chapter 55: Xu Wei Attacks the Sky!
In the Great Spirit Arena's stands, thousands of spectators were fixated on the Soul Dueling Arena.
Among them, some had only come today to join in the fun and weren't particularly interested in duels between First Ring and Second Ring Spirit Masters.
Just as most Shrek Academy Spirit Masters looked down on Soul Engineers, these Soul Engineers from Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy also looked down on their own academy's Spirit Masters.
However, once this match began, both the strength displayed by both sides and their full-force attacks exceeded everyone's expectations.
What they initially thought would be a 'chick fight' turned out to be quite interesting.
The match had just begun, and one side had already lost two members.
What followed was a three-on-one duel, and the final outcome should have been without suspense.
But the formidable aura Yuan Qingshuang displayed at this moment seemed to put a question mark on the outcome of this match.
Yuan Qingshuang hovered above the Soul Dueling Arena, a pair of ice-blue phoenix wings unfurled behind her, exuding cold air that caused the temperature of the entire Soul Dueling Arena to plummet.
In the stands, all eyes were on Yuan Qingshuang; they all wanted to see if she alone could turn the tide.
With two teammates eliminated, Yuan Qingshuang initially thought she would feel despair and fear.
But at this very moment, as she became the last hope of her team, she found that she didn't harbor such emotions.
The anger in her heart and the desire for victory overshadowed the worry and fear of being at a disadvantage. Now, Yuan Qingshuang had only one thought: to go all out.
Even if she couldn't achieve ultimate victory, she wanted to showcase her strength and tell everyone that their team was not easily defeated.
Yuan Qingshuang flapped her wings and swooped down towards Kong Ling.
The person she most wanted to eliminate now was the opponent's Second Ring Spirit Master.
Her First Spirit Skill was activated, and a mystical ice-colored light illuminated the wings on Yuan Qingshuang's back.
Countless ice-blue phoenix feathers shot down like arrows, each imbued with extreme cold power.
On the Soul Dueling Arena, both Kong Ling and Xu Tianyi were within the attack range.
Xu Wei, who had been circling the battlefield, was not enveloped by this attack.
Although Xu Tianyi was a beast Spirit Master, and his body received an enhancement after his Spirit possessed him, at this moment, only his right arm was covered in dragon scales.
Facing such an overwhelming area-of-effect skill, he could only continuously dodge while swinging his right arm to block the attacks.
However, during this process, he still sustained several cuts from the mystical ice feather blades.
Although the injuries were not severe, Xu Tianyi found that this attack carried a slowing effect; under the erosion of the extreme cold power, his movements became somewhat stiff.
On the other side, facing such an attack, Kong Ling did not possess Xu Tianyi's speed or physical strength.
She once again used her Second Spirit Skill, but this time, the target was herself.
The Blazing Sun Cage enveloped Kong Ling, and the mystical ice feather blades melted upon contact with the Blazing Sun Cage.
Elemental counteraction works both ways.
Yuan Qingshuang was not clouded by anger at this moment; on the contrary, she felt very clear-headed.
Therefore, she did not frantically unleash Spirit Abilities to attack her opponents; being able to fly, she felt she was already in an unassailable position.
She circled above the Soul Dueling Arena, constantly observing the situation below, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Kong Ling's Sun Gods Light, though a long-range attack, was not difficult for her to evade.
And Kong Ling, worried about spirit power consumption, also did not use her Spirit Abilities recklessly.
After all, when it came to spirit power, Yuan Qingshuang, who had consumed spirit power-boosting candies, clearly had the advantage.
Fearing being covered by Yuan Qingshuang's First Spirit Skill, the three of them, including Kong Ling, did not gather together but spread out.
This was also part of the strategy Kong Xuan had devised yesterday; after all, they had considered the situation if they couldn't directly eliminate Yuan Qingshuang.
At the same time, this dispersion was also an attempt to lure Yuan Qingshuang into attacking; both sides seemed to be waiting for an opportunity.
As another volley of mystical ice feather blades attacked Kong Ling, she had to once again use her Second Spirit Skill for defense.
The consumption of a thousand-year Spirit Ability was naturally greater than Yuan Qingshuang's First Spirit Skill.
Her targeting of Kong Ling had this very purpose; she was fighting a war of attrition.
At the same time, Yuan Qingshuang didn't want to rely solely on her flying ability to slowly wear down the opponent's spirit power; to showcase her combat prowess, she needed to take the initiative.
Xu Tianyi's speed was now restricted, so he became Yuan Qingshuang's second target.
This time, Yuan Qingshuang was aiming to eliminate him directly.
A breath of extreme cold erupted from Yuan Qingshuang's mouth, then seemed to grow with the wind, transforming into an icy tornado that roared towards Xu Tianyi.
Xu Tianyi had seen this Spirit Ability shatter Kong Ling's Blazing Sun Cage before, so he dared not confront it head-on, even directly using his First Spirit Skill, Dragon Splendor Flash, to widen the distance from the icy tornado.
Although his speed was restricted, under the effect of his Spirit Ability, Xu Tianyi quickly appeared twenty meters away from the icy tornado.
However, what he didn't expect was that this icy tornado seemed to have a tracking effect, actually turning a corner and rapidly sweeping towards Xu Tianyi again.
In fact, this icy tornado did not have a built-in tracking function; rather, it was because Yuan Qingshuang's First Spirit Skill had hit Xu Tianyi, and tiny ice crystals had invaded his body, marking him while also slowing him down.
That's why Yuan Qingshuang's Second Spirit Skill targeted Xu Tianyi and not Xu Wei on the other side.
In an instant, Yuan Qingshuang launched two consecutive attacks, targeting Kong Ling and Xu Tianyi respectively.
Even with her amplified spirit power, more than half of it was now consumed.
Yuan Qingshuang, whose attention had been solely on Kong Ling and Xu Tianyi, completely failed to notice Xu Wei's movements at this moment.
As an agility-attack system Spirit Master, Xu Wei had spent the most time training his timing during previous drills.
And at this moment, he felt it was his best opportunity to strike!
His First spirit ring silently lit up, and Xu Wei's figure instantly vanished from the Soul Dueling Arena.
Not to mention Yuan Qingshuang, even many of the spectators who could overlook the entire Soul Dueling Arena did not notice Xu Wei's movements at this moment.
It could only be said that since the beginning of this match, Xu Wei had always given the impression of being a mere bystander.
Even when he eliminated Hu Qifeng from the opposing team, no one paid much attention to him, as Hu Qifeng was merely a food system Spirit Master with little offensive capability.
Having activated Lightning Flash, Xu Wei now transformed into a pure white bolt of electricity. He shot into the sky, his target directly Yuan Qingshuang in mid-air!
