"That guy really is a combat genius. What a shame he joined the Spirit Hall. Otherwise, if I could train him..." Grandmaster didn't finish his sentence, shaking his head and sighing with a look of regret.
"Why didn't we see him in the Spirit Hall's team?" Dai Mubai asked in confusion.
Whenever he thought of Jiang Chen, his heart still felt lingering fear. That youth was simply too terrifying. If he used his soul skills, he could probably kill him in an instant.
Tang San turned his head toward the arena. "Although his combat ability is strong, his cultivation speed with innate full soul power should be similar to mine. He's probably still at the Soul Elder realm right now."
Dai Mubai said gravely, "Even if he's only at the Soul Elder realm, that person still cannot be underestimated. It would be great if we could encounter him on the stage so I could take revenge for the heavy injury he gave me back then. Unfortunately..."
Tang San nodded without discouraging Dai Mubai.
Revenge was easier said than done. Even if Jiang Chen really did appear, with those four geniuses present, it wouldn't be something Dai Mubai could easily achieve.
...
With the referee's command, the match between the two seeded teams finally began.
Although Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan had already mentally prepared themselves, when they saw the martial souls released by Hu Liena's group, they still couldn't help but feel their breathing stagnate.
The four people standing at the front, Hu Liena and the others, all had five soul rings shining around them: two yellow, two purple, and one black.
Yu Tianheng had the same soul ring configuration, but at this moment, the aura released by the four Soul Kings on the opposite side condensed together and immediately suppressed his momentum.
He had only recently entered the Soul King realm. Even though the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was powerful, it was still not enough to fight four at once.
Four Soul Kings stood at the front of the Spirit Hall Academy team, with three Soul Ancestors behind them. Such a lineup instantly brought enormous pressure to all the participating academies.
Although everyone had already mentally prepared themselves, the shock when they actually saw it was impossible to suppress.
This was only the third round of the competition, far from the final championship battle, yet the Spirit Hall had already revealed all their members.
Grandmaster nodded and said, "This is very consistent with the Spirit Hall's style of doing things, high-profile and domineering. After displaying such a lineup, how many academies will still have the confidence to resist the Spirit Hall?"
"Subduing the enemy without fighting," Tang San commented.
On the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's side, Yu Tianheng stood at the very front.
Behind him, the Shi brothers served as his strong support. On either side of the Shi brothers were the two agility-attack system soul masters, Yu Feng and Oslo.
Further back were Dugu Yan, who was responsible for control, and Ye Lingling, who provided healing.
As soon as the match began, it was not the captain Xie Yue who moved first from the Spirit Hall Academy, but the extremely charming Hu Liena.
Hu Liena had a tall and voluptuous figure; every frown and smile carried terrifying seductive power.
She took light steps, her figure turning as she arrived at the very front.
Her martial soul was released. A large fluffy tail grew from behind her, and a faint smile appeared on her face. Her entire person seemed to become even more beautiful.
Yu Tianheng was about to activate his soul skill, but after seeing the red light glowing in Hu Liena's eyes, he couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
"Everyone, don't look into her eyes," Yu Tianheng growled lowly, quickly averting his gaze.
"Are you all so heartless? This slave is so sad~" Hu Liena's voice sounded somewhat hoarse, filled with endless resentment, making people instinctively want to comfort and cherish her.
Invisibly, the Imperial Academy members were actually charmed by her voice, and no one made a move.
From afar, Jiang Chen nodded continuously. Hu Liena's charm techniques were becoming more and more powerful. A single glance or a single sentence could almost make people lose their minds.
Just as the Imperial Academy members were lost in Hu Liena's charm, the soul rings on her body lit up.
From the fifth soul ring all the way to the first, they lit up one after another. The red light emanating from her body grew increasingly intense, and the seductive aura became thicker and thicker.
The moment her first soul ring lit up, Xie Yue moved.
He held two crescent-moon-shaped curved blades in his hands. With his arms spread wide, he charged toward Hu Liena.
The instant their bodies collided, a powerful red light erupted from Hu Liena's body and spread outward.
In the blink of an eye, the dense red light covered more than half of the arena, enveloping all seven members of the Imperial Academy.
Jing Wuming and Zhao Youyue glanced at each other and simultaneously rushed into the red mist.
At this moment, in the arena, outside the red light, only the three remaining Soul Ancestor members of the Spirit Hall Academy team were left.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill!" Shocked exclamations continuously rang out from below the stage.
Two soul masters who had reached the Soul King realm executing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, could any team present still resist them?
Everyone's hearts grew colder and colder, almost freezing solid.
In Shrek Academy's resting area, everyone's expressions were grave and the atmosphere was oppressive. The pressure the Spirit Hall Academy team gave them was simply too great.
Grandmaster sighed, "I didn't expect the Spirit Hall Academy to be hiding so deeply. They actually possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill as well. They don't want their opponents to fully see their strength, but they can still effectively intimidate all their opponents. A Martial Soul Fusion Skill executed by two Soul Kings can unleash the power of a Soul Saint level in a short period of time."
"Can't see clearly?" The corners of Tang San's mouth gradually curved into a slight arc. His eyes shone with deep purple light as his gaze pierced through the thick red light and saw the scene inside.
Seeing through darkness, mist, and similar conditions was a basic ability of the Purple Demon Eyes. This red light from the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was no exception.
The red light might be enough to fool others, but it was ineffective against him.
Inside the red light, the moment Yu Tianheng and the others were enveloped, their expressions changed drastically.
They felt that within the range of this red light, their senses were reduced by about fifty percent, their soul power was suppressed by fifty percent, and all their movement speed was slowed by fifty percent.
This was a control-type Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Yu Tianheng quickly made the judgment.
"Everyone gather close to me. Back to back. Yan Yan and Lingling stay in the center of the circle."
Yu Tianheng had no extra time to think and immediately made this decision.
The Imperial Academy members were already not far from each other. They clearly remembered Yu Tianheng's position from earlier and quickly gathered together, forming a circle with the two girls protected in the center.
The red light around them grew denser and denser. Yu Tianheng and the others could barely see their own bodies anymore.
"Call out your numbers," Yu Tianheng said calmly, drawing on his rich experience.
All seven people quickly called out their numbers. No one was missing. Through their voices, they could also determine each other's positions.
"Do you think this can resist us? It's useless." A voice that couldn't be distinguished as male or female came from all directions, making it impossible to tell where it originated.
"Listen to my orders. Attack when I tell you to attack," Yu Tianheng quickly whispered.
Everyone's hearts were raised high. In this strange red light, they couldn't see the enemy at all. Just thinking that the opponent had four Soul Kings made uncontrollable fear rise in their hearts.
Under these circumstances, the attacks from the Spirit Hall members could appear at any moment.
"Yu Feng, your direction." Yu Tianheng suddenly shouted.
Although they couldn't see, the ability granted by the Zombie martial soul allowed him to sense someone rapidly approaching in Yu Feng's direction.
Yu Feng was flanked by the Shi brothers. After hearing Yu Tianheng's voice, all three acted without hesitation.
Yu Feng's third soul skill formed a bird-shaped energy attack that blasted forward.
The Shi brothers simultaneously threw out their four-sided tortoise shells, which spun and emitted sharp whistles as they tore through the air.
Ding ding ding...
Dense sounds of metal collision rang out. The Imperial Academy members felt a surge of joy, they had hit.
The red light flickered. The Enchanting Demon formed by Hu Liena and Xie Yue's fusion retreated. Her long hair fluttered, and a grave expression appeared on the face that could not be distinguished as male or female.
"As expected, those who were bitten by little Chen can sense our presence."
An annoyed voice sounded, which should belong to Hu Liena.
"Jing Wuming and the other two can also sense our presence. We already anticipated this outcome," Xie Yue said.
At this moment, Jing Wuming and Zhao Youyue arrived beside the Enchanting Demon. The three stood together.
Within this Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Jing Wuming and Zhao Youyue were also suppressed. However, as Soul Kings with stronger soul power and five soul skills each, even under suppression they were still much stronger than the Imperial Academy members.
"Then let's attack forcefully," Jing Wuming's somewhat indifferent voice sounded.
