Lin Xiuran's Powerful Talent

A massive fireball also formed in front of Lin Xiuran and collided with the fireball Guyue had created in an instant.

Guyue raised her brows slightly, but her hands did not stop moving. Several Ice Spikes shot out next, covering a wide area and directly enveloping both Lin Xiuran and Xu Xiaoyan.

A look of surprise appeared on Xu Xiaoyan's face, but she also intended to counterattack with her Soul Skill. Together, she and Lin Xiuran should have been able to withstand those Ice Spikes.

But contrary to what she expected, Lin Xiuran did not remain where he was to coordinate a counterattack with her. Instead, he charged out first at incredible speed.

This caught Xu Xiaoyan somewhat off guard, but she was no pushover. She raised the ice staff in her hand high and launched an attack directly at Guyue.

The sudden freezing sensation immediately affected Guyue's control over the elements, causing the Ice Spikes to veer off course and miss Xu Xiaoyan.

By then, Lin Xiuran had already reached Xie Xie's side, and together they launched an attack on Tang Wulin.

There was no helping it. Tang Wulin had gained a thousand-year first Soul Ring, greatly strengthening his abilities. Whether in control or direct offense, he had become outrageously powerful.

Although Xie Xie had made tremendous progress in coordinating the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger, he still could not break through Tang Wulin's defenses. He could never land a truly effective attack. If this continued, he would sooner or later be defeated.

Lin Xiuran's arrival undoubtedly created a two-against-one situation. Flames ignited in his hand as he struck out with his palm.

Tang Wulin did not hesitate in the slightest. Blue Silver Grass instantly burst from his hand and attacked the two of them. No matter how strong his individual combat power was, he would inevitably be put at a disadvantage against two opponents.

Using Blue Silver Grass to hold them back was therefore the best choice.

The Blue Silver Grass around Tang Wulin instantly closed in, weaving itself into a dense shield before him.

When the Light Dragon Blade struck it, nearly every blade of Blue Silver Grass flashed with light. They actually shared the blow together and emerged completely unharmed.

Damage sharing! Having evolved to the thousand-year level, Blue Silver Grass had gained a self-derived ability. When attacked, it would automatically distribute the attack across every strand, thereby neutralizing it.

Damage sharing was not a Soul Skill, but depended on Tang Wulin's control through spiritual power. In that instant, however many strands of Blue Silver Grass Tang Wulin could control to share the damage, that was how many portions the attack would be divided into.

Xie Xie's attacks felt as though they were landing on cotton. The moment he cut through one strand, another followed immediately after. The countless Blue Silver Grass before him caused him tremendous trouble.

His damage output was insufficient. After all, he was an agility attack-type Soul Master, while control-types countered agility attack-types. This had always been common knowledge in the Soul Master Realm.

Tang Wulin's control ability had once been too weak and disproportionate to Xie Xie's, which was why it had not shown itself. But now that his only Soul Ring had evolved to the thousand-year level, everything was different.

However, in the next instant, flames swept over the Blue Silver Grass. This highly flammable material spread the fire almost instantly, quickly burning all the Blue Silver Grass to ash.

Xie Xie let out a breath of relief, looked at Lin Xiuran, and nodded. Then he gripped both daggers tightly and launched another attack.

He directly unleashed his second Soul Skill, Light Dragon Storm. With the Light Dragon Blade as its point, his body spun forward in an instant like a drill.

But it was not over yet. Xie Xie gritted his teeth and swung the Shadow Dragon Dagger in his other hand. Within the Light Dragon Storm, an even stronger invisible storm erupted. The two fused together, instantly multiplying the airflow around his body several times over while accelerating him at the same time, turning him into a phantom.

The Twin Dragon Storm, formed from Light Dragon Storm and Shadow Dragon Storm!

Xie Xie charged at Tang Wulin at tremendous speed, leaving even afterimages behind.

But it was clearly not going to be so easy for him to get close. Just as he was nearly in front of Tang Wulin, Xie Xie suddenly froze, as though someone had gripped him by the throat.

Guyue was using the Space Element in her hand, momentarily restraining Xie Xie's movements and giving Tang Wulin an opportunity to attack.

The Golden Dragon Claw struck out instantly, and Xie Xie was undoubtedly eliminated.

In an instant, Lin Xiuran was the only one left on the field. As for Xu Xiaoyan, she had already been eliminated by Guyue while Lin Xiuran and Xie Xie were attacking Tang Wulin.

She could interfere with Guyue once, but she could not interfere every time. After all, Guyue's strength was there for all to see, and her spiritual power overwhelmed Xu Xiaoyan by an entire tier.

Guyue's gaze sharpened as her hands formed complex gestures before her. First came a ball of blue light and a ball of red light. The two fused together, immediately erupting with extremely unstable Soul Power fluctuations. The next moment, she hurled it out.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw did not stop and also attacked Lin Xiuran.

Under this double pressure, the situation was nearly impossible to break. Yet Lin Xiuran did not give up. The moment he saw the ice-and-fire sphere Guyue had unleashed, a flash of purple light suddenly passed through his eyes.

After that purple light flashed, Guyue suddenly lost complete control over the sphere. It changed direction and flew directly toward Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin did not react in time either. Who could have imagined that Guyue's attack would suddenly turn on him?

Caught completely off guard, he was sent flying.

Guyue's eyes widened in shock, and anger rose within her. Just as she was about to continue attacking Lin Xiuran, her body suddenly went weak, leaving her unable to normally draw upon the elements to counterattack.

But with Tang Wulin's defensive power, such an attack posed no threat to him. Before long, he shot into the air again and swung his Golden Dragon Claw.

A faint Dragon Might emanated from Tang Wulin's body. The supreme pressure belonging to the Golden Dragon King instantly descended upon Lin Xiuran.

Yet at the same time, Lin Xiuran somehow felt as though a blaze had ignited within him. Facing the immensely powerful Golden Dragon Claw, he felt not the slightest fear.

His entire right arm nearly ignited in flames, even burning apart his school uniform. Empowered by the Wind Element, the flames grew even fiercer.

His fist met Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw head-on.

At that moment, everyone watched the clash with complete focus. Clearly, this was no longer a simple spar—it was also a contest of potential.

The others had never seen Lin Xiuran's true strength, but they had a deep impression of Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw.

The Golden Dragon King was not merely terrifyingly powerful in attack. Its unique shattering effect was even more horrifying. Yet even so, Lin Xiuran still met it head-on.

Wu Zhangkong was also surprised by the strength Lin Xiuran had displayed, but what he felt more now was concern.

He knew very well how powerful Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw was, and it was precisely because he knew that he worried. If anything went wrong, the consequences would truly outweigh the gains.

He intended to stop the match, but he hesitated. Lin Xiuran's confidence was unparalleled, and so he chose to believe in him.
