Chapter 70 Exchange Battle.
Looking at the defeated Dai Yueheng team, Elder Xuan revealed a malicious smile and said, "Hurry up, the losers accept the punishment, and I'll give you another chance."
"I'm a pig!" Dai Yueheng shouted without hesitation, his facial muscles twitching, clearly showing his dissatisfaction!
Chen Zifeng also helplessly shouted his slogan.
Yao Haoxuan and Ling Luochen, while shouting this, kept their eyes fixed on Wu Xuan.
Xu Sanshi, however, was thick-skinned and shouted without a care.
Huo Yuhao's voice was a little softer, "I'm a pig."
Wang Dong puffed out his cheeks, glared at Xiao Xiao who was covering her mouth and snickering opposite him, and reluctantly shouted, "I'm a pig."
Elder Xuan said, "Alright, I'll give you an hour to rest. After an hour, you'll compete again. This match is to help you get to know each other. You'll naturally become familiar with each other after a few more matches."
Hearing that there was another match, the inner court disciples reacted quickly, immediately sitting down to recover their soul power. The exchange had taken its toll on everyone to varying degrees. They needed to hurry and recover, not only to restore their cultivation but also to calmly reflect on their gains and losses.
An hour passed quickly, and everyone rose again to assume their fighting stances.
Wang Dong looked at Elder Xuan and asked, "Elder Xuan, if we lose this time, will we still have to shout those three words?"
Elder Xuan immediately nodded and said, "Of course, I'm always fair."
Hearing this, Wang Dong's fighting spirit surged again. He glared at Xiao Xiao and said, "Elder Xuan, let's begin!"
Elder Xuan chuckled and said with ill intent, "Don't rush. What's the point of the same competition? Let's switch. This time, Dai Yueheng will choose the preliminaries first! Then, only three members can be on the main team. The rest of the rules are the same as last time."
Dai Yueheng's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Wu Xuan and said, "For the preliminaries, I choose Wu Xuan, Xiao Xiao, Bei Bei, and Xu Sanshi."
"For the main team, I choose Yao Haoxuan and Chen Zifeng!"
Ma Xiaotao pouted. "Then for my side, it's Gongyang Mo, Xi Xi, Ling Luochen, Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao."
"Ah~!" Xu Sanshi cried out in frustration. This time, he was not paired with Jiang Nannan again.
Elder Xuan ignored the madman Xu Sanshi, nodded, and instantly vanished from his spot. He chuckled as he took out a wine gourd and a large chicken leg from the viewing platform and began to eat and drink. However, a different expression flickered in his eyes, hidden beneath his disheveled hair.
The two sides widened their distance again, but this time they weren't given time to get acquainted. When the distance reached 150 meters, Elder Xuan immediately gave the order to begin the battle.
This time, the distance was closer, and at Elder Xuan's command, the control-type Soul Masters on both sides began to unleash their skills.
"Thump, thump, thump—" A muffled sound echoed throughout the arena as circles of yellow light radiated outwards from Yao Haoxuan's body.
Wu Xuan was also slowly enveloped in a layer of yellow light, and in an instant, he felt an unusual boost.
"Second Soul Skill, Light Breeze!"
Wu Xuan raised one hand high, his purple Soul Rings shimmering. As a gentle breeze enveloped Dai Yueheng and the others, the five's forward speed suddenly increased dramatically!
Seeing the situation was dire, Ling Luochen raised his staff high with both hands, pointing it forward. His third spirit ring instantly shone brightly, and a beam of icy blue light appeared precisely above Dai Yueheng's head.
"Third Spirit Skill, Ice Cage!"
The blue light descended, instantly transforming into an ice prison, trapping Dai Yueheng in place and abruptly halting his charge. Dai Yueheng's tiger claws collided fiercely with the ice prison.
However, the ice prison did not shatter as he had expected; instead, cracks appeared.
"First Spirit Skill, Gathering Spirit Wind!"
His first spirit ring shone brightly, and as Wu Xuan rapidly formed hand seals, a cool breeze quickly blew out from around him.
As Beibei charged forward, the blue lightning on her dragon-scaled arms grew even denser and more violent.
On the Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield in Xu Sanshi's right hand, mist swirled, and the black light intensified significantly.
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul and the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul inherently possessed peak elemental power among elemental martial souls; a ten percent increase in elemental power instantly brought about a fundamental sublimation of their martial souls.
"Awesome! This feels so good! Beibei, I feel like I can completely hold off an inner court senior all by myself."
"Alright, then the charge is yours. I know you can't bring yourself to do it. I'll handle Jiang Nannan." Beibei said with a smile.
Beibei's words caused Xu Sanshi's smile to freeze instantly, looking utterly ridiculous.
Although Beibei was teasing Xu Sanshi, her actions were anything but slow. As she approached Xixi and Jiang Nannan, the faint smile on her face vanished, and her gaze became incredibly sharp.
Although Xu Sanshi also wanted to exchange a few words with Bei Bei, now was clearly not the time for such talk.
"Third Soul Skill, Thunderous Fury!"
"First Soul Skill, Thunderous Dragon Claw!"
Bei Bei's third and first soul rings lit up simultaneously, and with the surging of violent lightning, Bei Bei's aura soared once more. He slammed a claw towards Jiang Nannan.
"Bei Bei, you dead man, remember to hold back!" Xu Sanshi cursed angrily before getting serious. He knew Bei Bei well enough to know she would show mercy.
"Second Soul Skill, Xuanwu Power!"
"Fourth Soul Skill, Xuanming Displacement!"
Dense black light surged forth, and Xu Sanshi aimed at Wang Dong, who was not far from Ling Luochen, and instantly released it. The next moment, Xu Sanshi appeared beside Ling Luochen, while Wang Dong was directly teleported to the front lines.
He wouldn't give Huo Yuhao and the other two a chance to unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
"First Soul Skill, Xuanming Tremor!"
Xu Sanshi laughed wildly, a semi-transparent black aura emanating from the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield in his hand, charging towards Ling Luochen with immense momentum.
"First Soul Skill, Xuanbing Prison!"
Huo Yuhao switched to his Eight-Cornered Xuanbing Grass Martial Soul, the first purple ring instantly lighting up. He slammed his hand down towards the laughing Xu Sanshi, a terrifying cold current spreading out instantly, transforming into a cage of solidified ice in the blink of an eye, colliding with Xu Sanshi's first Soul Skill.
"Hmm?? It didn't break!!" Xu Sanshi exclaimed in surprise.
On the other side, Chen Zifeng, standing beside Dai Yueheng, was the first to attack. A dense red light suddenly rose from Chen Zifeng's body. Chen Zifeng abruptly raised his head, his aura instantly reaching its peak. His eyes turned blood red, his sharp killing intent possessing the power to slaughter everything.
The rapier paused only briefly in mid-air before shooting towards Ma Xiaotao like a crimson rainbow.
Ma Xiaotao's expression turned grim. Facing the lightning-fast attack, she spread her arms wide, and instantly, intense golden-red phoenix flames erupted—her second soul skill, Phoenix Rebirth.
This was a soul skill with all-around amplification. Simultaneously, her first soul ring shone, and a line of fire shot from her mouth, heading straight for the Soul-Chasing Sword.
The Soul-Chasing Sword seemed to sense the threat; its blade trembled slightly, emitting a buzzing sound. Then, its tip flashed with crimson light, spitting out a three-inch sword beam. Its first and second soul rings shone simultaneously, actually managing to slice through the phoenix fire line. Although its speed decreased, its trajectory remained unchanged, still heading towards Ma Xiaotao.
Just then, Dai Yueheng finally reached Ma Xiaotao. At this moment, Ma Xiaotao was still under the threat of the Soul-Chasing Sword, meaning it was essentially a two-man attack by Dai Yueheng against one person.
