Chapter 147 Xuanzi's "Second Blossom"
"How is this possible?!"
Xuanzi, who was in the Shrek rest area, suddenly stood up, his right hand crushing the chicken leg into a lump of minced meat.
His gaze was fixed on Kong Xuan on the arena, and he forced out two words from deep in his throat: "Soul Saint?!"
Wang Yan and the Shrek Academy reserve team members standing beside him were also staring wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.
They simply couldn't understand how Kong Xuan, a Soul King with five rings, could unleash such a powerful aura.
Compared to them, Xuanzi, a level 98 Super Douluo, clearly sensed things more accurately.
In his eyes, the soul power emanating from Kong Xuan at this moment was roughly equivalent to a level 73 Soul Saint.
His gaze swept over Kong Xuan, the only change being his new soul-guided armor.
Even with the amplification from the soul tool, it's impossible to directly increase soul power by twenty levels; that's completely illogical.
This competition truly shocked Xuanzi many times, refreshing his understanding time and time again.
Even now, Xuanzi is unsure whether Kong Xuan in his Soul Saint state is his strongest "mode".
However, the more talented Kong Xuan appeared, the more he was seen as a "path to death" in Xuanzi's eyes!
On the city wall directly opposite the arena, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo, along with his civil and military officials, watched the battle.
When he sensed the aura of a Soul Saint emanating from Kong Xuan, he suddenly tightened his grip on the armrests of his chair.
The gentle smile on his face vanished completely, replaced by an extreme shock and a deep-seated gloom.
In the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal, except that his eyes were still trembling slightly.
He turned his head to look at the side and asked, "Brother, what do you think of this Kong Xuan?"
The person whom Xu Jiawei referred to as his virtuous brother was none other than Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan.
In this final match, the general who had been stationed at the border finally returned, after all, Shrek's side had his two sons.
However, he probably had no idea that he also had a son at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
So no matter which side wins in the end, he can be considered a "winner".
Dai Hao stared at Kong Xuan for a moment and said, "An unprecedented genius, but I'm afraid he will become a great enemy of our Star Luo as he grows up."
As a representative of the military, Dai Hao instinctively considers matters from a wartime perspective.
"Yes!" Xu Jiawei couldn't help but sigh, "Although I'm reluctant to admit it, if we were to go to war with the Sun and Moon, I'm afraid my Star Luo would be no match for them."
"Brother, after the competition, you will return to the Mingdou Mountains and send more people into the Sun and Moon Mountains. We need to know more specific information."
Dai Hao understood Xu Jiawei's meaning: they were going to send more spies.
Although he understood the difficulties involved, Dai Hao nodded and replied, "Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Although the arena has a protective shield, it only serves a protective function to ensure the audience's experience; the sounds and energy inside can still be clearly emitted.
It was precisely because of this that the audience erupted in uproar after Kong Xuan's momentum surged.
Even ordinary people could sense Kong Xuan's power at this moment; he seemed to be on a completely different level from everyone else.
Kong Xuan deliberately exuded the powerful aura of a Soul Saint, not to show off.
This is a signal; he's telling his teammates that they can launch a full-scale attack.
The biggest strategic direction set by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy this time is to crush the opponent with absolute strength.
Therefore, after Kong Xuan displayed the aura of a Soul Saint, the other teammates all went all out and no longer held back.
Kong Ling was the first to make a move. He abandoned his pursuit of Xu Sanshi and instantly activated the crowd control skill, Fiery Prison.
Seven blazing sun cages enveloped the Shrek Seven Devils. While Soul Emperors like Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao might not be able to hold them, Kong Ling was confident that he could trap the others, even Soul Kings, for at least a second.
And this is only the first move!
Just as Kong Ling released the Fiery Sun Cage, the Sun Martial Soul that had been floating above her head landed on her left hand.
At the same time, her raised right hand shone with a cool light, and a ball of silvery moonlight emerged.
The left hand was blazing, the right hand was icy cold; two different attributes, two different colors of light shone brightly.
In an instant, the changes on Kong Xuan's side drew everyone's attention away from Kong Xuan.
Looking at this girl who had the same face as Kong Xuan, and at the martial spirits surging with different powers in her hands.
A word popped into everyone's mind almost simultaneously.
Twin Martial Souls!
Kong Ling actually possesses twin martial souls!
Since the start of the competition, Kong Ling's performance has been considered excellent by many, but there is still a significant gap compared to her twin brother Kong Xuan.
But at this moment they all realized that they had underestimated Kong Ling; this girl actually possessed a rare twin martial soul.
Moreover, they had never heard of the Sun Moon Empire ever having twin martial souls; Kong Ling was likely the first!
In the rest area, teachers and students from various academies were all marveling at how many geniuses had emerged from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in this competition.
Given Kong Xuan and Kong Ling's ages, they still meet the eligibility requirements for the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.
Even if they can't defeat Shrek Academy today, five years from now, the championship title that Shrek has always held might really change hands.
Although Xuanzi, who was already seated, was shocked this time, he did not stand up. After all, twin martial souls were a "rare thing" outside, but one or two would appear every once in a while at Shrek Academy.
Xuanzi just couldn't figure out what Kong Ling was trying to do.
On the arena, Kong Ling raised his hands high, and his Sun and Moon Martial Souls instantly merged, creating a pillar of light that shot into the sky, even the soul guide shield around the arena couldn't stop it.
As the beam of light shot into the sky, the sky above Xingluo Square changed dramatically in an instant.
The sun in the sky seemed to have lost its light, and in its place, Kong Ling's two martial souls hung high in the sky.
Behind him, a golden sun and a silvery moon intertwined, and black and white light instantly swept across the entire arena beneath his feet.
Many people didn't see what happened, and Xuanzi, who had just been pretending to be calm, jumped up again.
"How is this possible?!"
He knew what had just happened, but it was precisely because he knew that he was so shocked.
Kong Ling used a Martial Soul Fusion Technique!
The fusion of two martial souls, followed by the release of an even more powerful soul skill—what else could this be but a martial soul fusion skill?!
But isn't a Martial Soul Fusion Skill supposed to require two Soul Masters to perform?
How did Kong Ling manage to use it all by herself?
Although she possesses two martial souls, it is unprecedented in history for a soul master with twin martial souls to perform a martial soul fusion skill on their own.
Whether it was Kong Xuan before or Kong Ling now.
The abilities they displayed left Xuanzi, a senior member of Shrek Academy, somewhat bewildered.
This made him wonder if Shrek Academy was still the number one academy on the continent, and why it seemed to be lagging behind in the research of martial souls.
Shocked, he couldn't help but look towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Everyone there looked calm, clearly not surprised by Kong Ling's performance.
At that moment, Ren Jun turned his head as if by telepathy, and his eyes met Xuan Zi's.
Seeing the shocked and confused look in Xuanzi's eyes, Ren Jun couldn't help but flash a hint of provocation in his eyes, and felt a surge of pleasure in his heart.
