Chapter 121 Xuanzi's defenses are breached! Something's wrong! The situation has been reversed!
The deathly silence in Xingluo Square lasted for several seconds, and then the sound waves that erupted almost shattered the clouds in the sky.
"What...what was that just now?"
"How did Liu Yuan suddenly manage to defeat Ling Luochen and Dai Yueheng so easily?"
"Could it be that he was just toying with his opponent the whole time, without ever going all out?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, a Soul Master instantly killed a Soul King and a Soul Emperor in a very short time. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, who would believe it? This is too outrageous!"
"...."
The murmurs in the audience were like a burst dam, and everyone's face was filled with utter shock.
Those who had initially been pessimistic about the Heavenly Soul Team because of the return of Shrek's two Soul Emperors now felt a chill run down their spines.
"It seems that the situation of the game is about to be completely reversed."
This shift in perception quickly spread across the square.
The Shrek defenses, which were originally as solid as a mountain, developed a potentially fatal gap the moment Liu Yuan activated "Ultimate Sublimation".
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy, thousands of miles away, inside the Sea God Pavilion.
The previously relaxed atmosphere in the council chamber fell into an unprecedented silence.
Even the usually composed elders of the Sea God Pavilion broke down in their guard after watching the panoramic soul tool show Dai Yueheng with his chest pierced and Ling Luochen being elbowed off the stage.
"How could this be?" an elder exclaimed, his hand, which had been holding a teacup, trembling violently.
"Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen were promising talents we were grooming, and he defeated them in an instant?"
"How could his strength have suddenly increased so much? The intensity of his spiritual power is completely different from before!"
Many of the elders looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.
Yan Shaozhe, as the dean of the Martial Soul Department, had the most unpleasant expression at this moment.
He stared intently at the purple-gold flames surrounding Liu Yuan in the image, gritting his teeth as he said, "I see it..."
"His fourth soul skill is an extremely rare burst-type amplification soul skill."
"Just now, he didn't just increase his soul power, but greatly enhanced his mental power. And all his soul skills are related to mental power. So his combat power was greatly enhanced in that instant."
"It was with this surge that he caught Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen completely off guard."
"I never expected this kid to be so cunning at such a young age, patiently waiting until now to make his move! He's truly sly!"
Yan Shaozhe clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms. He couldn't accept that Shrek's pride had been trampled on by a boy he had once looked down upon.
However, Moon, who was sitting in the first seat, let out a long sigh at this moment.
"That's not called cunning." Moon's voice was a little hoarse, but it carried a sense of high-level scrutiny.
"That's called 'all's fair in war'! Under such intense siege, they were able to instantly exploit Dai Yueheng's underestimation and turn the tide in one fell swoop. That's called being both brave and resourceful!"
Moon closed his eyes, the bitterness in his heart growing stronger.
The more outstanding Liu Yuan's performance and the more he saw Liu Yuan's amazing on-the-spot decision-making ability, the more he liked this young man.
Unfortunately, this once-in-a-lifetime genius has completely missed out on Shrek Academy because of the arrogance of some people.
At the competition venue.
Xuanzi's smug expression froze completely on his wrinkled face the moment Ling Luochen fell to the ground.
He couldn't laugh anymore.
He originally thought that Liu Yuan would only die slowly under the siege of Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen. He had even thought of the lines to mock Liu Yuan for not being poisoned after the match.
But now, Dai Yueheng is slumped on the ground, groaning in pain, while Ling Luochen is unconscious outside the arena, his fate unknown.
The defeat of these two individuals was not simply a matter of losing two combatants.
A sudden, intense unease welled up within Xuanzi.
As an experienced elder, he immediately thought of an even more troublesome matter—the violent chain reaction that Liu Yuan's liberation would bring to the situation on the ground.
Originally, the Shrek team divided the battlefield into three parts.
Ma Xiaotao was suppressing Long Aotian on one side, while Huo Yuhao and the other three were holding back Vina and the other five in the middle.
But now, the two people responsible for "hunting" Liu Yuan have left the arena, and Liu Yuan, the most terrifying and unstable factor on the stage, has completely regained his freedom.
"Oh no…" Cold sweat beaded on Xuanzi's forehead.
He could foresee what would happen next: once Liu Yuanteng made his move and cut into the middle of the battlefield, it would be like a wolf entering a flock of sheep.
Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, Wang Dong, and Xu Sanshi, although they are all outstanding, are facing a monster who just instantly killed Ling Luochen and Dai Yueheng!
As long as Liu Yuan joins the melee over there, the remaining four reserve members of Shrek Academy will definitely not be able to stop him.
Once Huo Yuhao and his group are quickly cleared out by Liu Yuan, then only Ma Xiaotao will remain from Shrek Academy on the entire arena.
At that time, even if Ma Xiaotao possesses the Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul, and even if she is strong, she will definitely be in a desperate situation when facing the siege of the entire Heavenly Soul Royal Team, and ultimately there will be no way to save her.
Thinking of this, Xuanzi became extremely anxious.
He took a sudden step forward and shouted at the ring, disregarding his image:
"Xiao Tao! Quick! Stop Liu Yuan! Forget about Long Aotian, suppress Liu Yuan first!"
With the enhancement of his soul power, Xuanzi's voice drowned out the noise of the entire arena and clearly reached Ma Xiaotao's ears.
Ma Xiaotao also noticed the dramatic change in the atmosphere behind her.
She caught a glimpse of Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen's miserable state out of the corner of her eye, and her heart sank.
She could no longer bear to mock Long Aotian. With a sudden flap of her phoenix wings, scorching evil fire erupted wildly as she prepared to swoop down and intercept Liu Yuan.
However, just as she made a move, Long Aotian, who had looked somewhat disheveled, suddenly appeared in her path.
On Long Aotian's body, the dark golden soul power was now mixed with a faint trace of blood.
"That won't do to you!" Long Aotian planted his feet firmly on the void, forcibly concentrating the pressure of his martial soul into a single point.
Ma Xiaotao's face was extremely ugly. She felt that Long Aotian's aura had become extremely tenacious. His fearless attitude forced her to withdraw her diving momentum. Otherwise, if she crashed into him head-on, she would also be injured.
"Get out of my way! Long Aotian, you stray dog, you think you can stop me?" Ma Xiaotao let out an angry phoenix cry, and countless pillars of evil fire swept towards the other party.
Long Aotian remained unmoved amidst the scorching flames; although his skin was already burned bright red, he still revealed a wild smile:
"My junior brother has performed so well, as his senior brother, I can't let him outdo me."
Long Aotian stood firmly in front of Ma Xiaotao, his hands clasped together, forcibly blocking Ma Xiaotao's path to support.
"I'm determined to stop you here no matter what! Otherwise, wouldn't it make me look like a useless senior brother?"
Long Aotian's resolute determination made Ma Xiaotao extremely anxious.
At this moment, Liu Yuan, who was recovering his strength, slowly turned around, his purple-gold double pupils coldly fixed on Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei, who were locked in combat.
