Chapter 59: Praying Angel!
"Match—start!"
With the referee's command, the match officially began.
Both sides instantly manifested their Spirits, and Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei also charged forward.
However, the three opponents made no move, still standing in place.
Moreover, among the three, only Lü Hanwen and Shui Ling had manifested their Spirits; An Le still stood behind the two, looking as if it had nothing to do with her.
Xu Wei and Xu Tianyi, who were advancing, both had their expressions sink, feeling that their opponents were looking down on them, and a surge of anger rose in their hearts.
Purple light flickered around Kong Ling, a sign that her Second spirit ring had been lit.
In an instant, the three opponents were trapped by the Blazing Sun Cage, and a scorching sensation eroded them from all directions.
This time, Kong Ling and her team's strategy was still to go all out from the start, as Shui Ling could steal their spirit power, and the longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
Kong Ling's Second Spirit Skill was no longer a secret, but even if her opponents knew about it, they had no way to deal with such an instant-cast, powerful control Spirit Ability.
Watching themselves being enveloped by the Blazing Sun Cage, Shui Ling and her two teammates showed no sign of panic, as if they had already planned a countermeasure.
Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei arrived beside Shui Ling and An Le respectively, preparing to launch a fatal blow the moment the Blazing Sun Cage disappeared.
As for Lü Hanwen, this Second Ring attack system Spirit Master might have the strongest destructive power, but in terms of priority, he was not as high as Shui Ling, the mysterious control system Spirit Master.
Just as Lü Hanwen was continuously using his First Spirit Skill, Splitting Gold Claws, trying to break through the Blazing Sun Cage, An Le, at the very back of the three, finally made a move.
A yellow spirit ring rose from her feet, and at the same time, a burst of light erupted from deep within her body, every inch of her skin seeming to emit a holy radiance.
Immediately after, the space behind her was torn as if by an invisible giant hand, and a pair of wings slowly emerged.
These wings were pure white and flawless, each feather shimmering with a soft light, as if carved from the purest material in the world, carrying a sense of awe-inspiring divinity.
The moment her Spirit manifested, a very small number of "knowledgeable" people among the audience could already tell that this was an Angel Spirit!
Angel Spirits and True Dragon-type Spirits are similar; no matter which type, they are almost all top-tier Spirits.
And at this moment, among those present, probably only one person knew the specific type of Angel Spirit that An Le displayed!
"Praying Angel?!"
Yun Ming's excited voice echoed in Kong Xuan's mind; he was far too familiar with this Spirit.
Ten thousand years later, Yun Ming's beloved, the Saint Spirit Douluo Yali, her Spirit was precisely the Praying Angel!
"Teacher, An Le's Spirit is the Praying Angel?"
Kong Xuan's voice carried a hint of surprise; he truly hadn't expected that this One Ring Spirit Master, who had always hidden her Spirit, would have the Praying Angel as her Spirit.
"There can be no mistake!" Yun Ming's voice was firm: "This is indeed the Praying Angel Spirit; I never thought I'd see it ten thousand years ago!"
Looking at An Le's dark green long hair in the Soul Dueling Arena, that figure hidden deep in his heart reappeared; Yali also had dark green long hair.
Yun Ming's eyes softened, but then looking at An Le, a complex emotion also arose in his heart.
Although it was the same Spirit, the same color hair, he could not see Yali's compassionate holiness and gentleness in An Le.
She resembled her, but ultimately, she was not her!
"Xuan'er!"
Yun Ming's voice was somewhat low, and Kong Xuan even heard a tremor in those two simple words.
"Teacher!"
Kong Xuan responded, waiting for Yun Ming's next words.
"You said before that after I desperately blocked the Holy Spirit Cult's Level 12 God Slaying Soul Guided Cannon, I preserved the seeds for Shrek Academy, and Yali also survived."
"Then—what happened to Yali in the end, do you know?"
Yun Ming hadn't dared to ask this question before; he only needed to know that Yali survived.
But today, seeing the Praying Angel again, he could no longer resist wanting to know the final outcome.
Kong Xuan hesitated, contemplating whether or not to tell Yun Ming the true answer.
After a moment, he slowly spoke: "In the final battle when the Abyss invaded Douluo Star, Master's wife sacrificed herself, perishing with the Ghost Emperor!"
Finally, Kong Xuan truthfully revealed Yali's fate.
He felt that Yun Ming had the right and the privilege to know the final outcome of his beloved.
"I—understand!"
Yun Ming's voice was somewhat low, and his figure in Kong Xuan's presence in the spiritual sea dissipated.
Kong Xuan was not a very comforting person; he knew that this news for his teacher, Yun Ming, also required some quiet time to digest.
Just as Yun Ming and Kong Xuan were communicating in the spiritual sea, significant changes also occurred in the Soul Dueling Arena.
As An Le's spirit ring lit up, three rays of light ascended from her back wings, landing on herself and her two teammates respectively.
Then, a pure white halo appeared around the three of them, emitting a soft Holy Light, as if an extra special spirit ring had appeared.
The light from the halo resisted the heat emanating from the Blazing Sun Cage, and the three of them felt significantly cooler in that instant.
An Le's First Spirit Skill was called Purification Halo, and it could be used on herself and her teammates.
During the duration of the Purification Halo, it could clear friendly abnormal statuses and grant immunity to negative damage for a period of time.
The scorching aura emanating from the Blazing Sun Cage naturally counted as an abnormal status.
So, even if they didn't have water or ice-attribute Spirit Masters, they could still contend with Kong Ling's Blazing Sun Cage using the Purification Halo.
This was also why they weren't flustered earlier.
Looking at the expressions of the three opponents, Kong Ling already realized that when that halo enveloped them, the scorching attack accompanying the Blazing Sun Cage seemed to have become ineffective.
Kong Ling then decisively ended the Blazing Sun Cage first, as the longer the Blazing Sun Cage existed, the greater her spirit power consumption would be.
And the moment the Blazing Sun Cage disappeared, Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei, who had long been ready, instantly launched attacks on Shui Ling and An Le.
"Roar!!!"
A deafening lion's roar suddenly came, covering a wide area in front.
This was Lü Hanwen activating his Second Spirit Skill, Golden Lion Roar; Xu Tianyi and Shui Ling were both within the range of his Spirit Ability.
Xu Tianyi, who was just about to activate his First Spirit Skill, Dragon Splendor Flash, was interrupted from "casting"; under the sound waves and mental attack of the Golden Lion Roar, he froze in place, a look of pain on his face.
Shui Ling, however, was unaffected by the Golden Lion Roar due to the Purification Halo.
With a slight movement of her fingers, she used her Spirit silk threads to control An Le's body from her side and rear.
Xu Wei's dagger was about to stab An Le's neck, and the referee teacher in mid-air was already prepared to intervene.
But he didn't expect that at such a critical moment, An Le's body suddenly shifted one position horizontally, precisely dodging his attack!
On the other side, while Xu Tianyi was controlled, Lü Hanwen naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity; his sharp lion claws reached forward, targeting Xu Tianyi.
The distance between them was not far, and in a flash, Lü Hanwen charged in front of Xu Tianyi.
But just as he was about to attack, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of light.
The small sun above Kong Ling's head was now emitting an orange-red ray of light, which was her First Spirit Skill, Sun Gods Light.
Attacking what the enemy must save, if Lü Hanwen chose to continue attacking Xu Tianyi, he would have to endure this Sun Gods Light.
Kong Ling originally thought Lü Hanwen would dodge, but what she didn't expect was that Lü Hanwen seemed to have no intention of dodging at all.
Did he want to exchange injury for death?!
