The First Gleam of Sharpness

What was Zhu Zhuqing feeling so disappointed about?

Why was Zhu Zhuqing feeling disappointed?

Ning Qiu noticed the look on Zhu Zhuqing's face and froze, utterly baffled.

Wasn't Zhu Zhuqing engaged to Dai Mubai? This was such a perfect opportunity for the two of them to share hardship together, so why did Zhu Zhuqing still feel disappointed? Ning Qiu was deeply confused!

"Ladies!"

"Gentlemen!"

"Welcome to the Great Spirit Arena. This is the fourth team battle, and also the finale. Next, the Holy Soul Seven Heroes will face the Berserker Team."

"Over the past seven days, the Berserker Team has already achieved seven consecutive victories. Can they maintain their record today, claim their eighth victory, and set a new record at Soto City Great Spirit Arena? Let us wait and see!"

Fluorescent lights swayed above the arena as the host whipped up the crowd's excitement.

"Mubai, Brother said that the Berserker Team's previous opponents either died or were injured. He told us to beat them at their own game. Teach them a lesson," Xiao Wu said.

"No problem." Dai Mubai smiled confidently.

"Match countdown!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Begin!"

As the host's voice fell, the Holy Soul Seven Heroes and the seven members of the Berserker Team all summoned their Martial Souls.

First Soul Skill · Ruyi Plate · Light of Defense Bloomed

Second Soul Skill · Ruyi Plate · Attack Aura Bloomed

Two beams of light fell upon the seven members of the Berserker Team in succession. The defense and attack of the Berserker Team's six fighters immediately rose to a considerably high level.

"White spirit rings?" Dai Mubai sneered.

White Tiger Possession

Dai Mubai stomped his foot, and four spirit rings lit up around him. Their colors were yellow, yellow, purple, and purple.

"A Soul Ancestor?"

Some members of the Berserker Team could not help crying out in alarm.

Immediately afterward, the other members of the Holy Soul Seven Heroes revealed their Martial Souls as well.

Xiao Wu was a Soul Elder, Zhu Zhuqing was a Soul Grandmaster, Xiang Yu was also a Soul Elder, Cai Ji was a Soul Grandmaster, and Jia Luo and Su Rong were Soul Grandmasters as well.

"One Soul Ancestor, two Soul Elders, and four Soul Grandmasters. We can take this fight!" Berserker Rhino, the Berserker Team's captain, declared confidently. In his eyes, only Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and Xiang Yu posed any threat to him.

Whoosh!

Berserker Rhino stomped his foot and shot forward like an arrow.

"I'll take him!" Xiang Yu said.

Facing Berserker Rhino's towering, wall-like frame, the one-meter-ninety Xiang Yu gripped his Martial Soul Halberd as yellow light bloomed around him.

First Soul Skill · Fearless Charge

Golden light enveloped Xiang Yu. He surged forward at high speed, colliding with Berserker Rhino without slowing in the slightest.

Bang!

With a resounding impact, Berserker Rhino was sent sliding backward by Xiang Yu's charge, leaving a glaring trail across the ground.

Pfft!

Berserker Rhino clutched his chest as blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"What terrifying impact." Berserker Rhino stared at Xiang Yu warily.

"When it comes to strength, the only one I acknowledge is Ning LaoDa." Xiang Yu grinned smugly.

First Soul Skill · Spiderweb Restraint

At the same time, the Berserker Team's only female member, who possessed a spider Martial Soul, waved her hand, and a massive silver net descended from above.

"Jia Luo!" Dai Mubai called.

"Got it!" Jia Luo understood immediately. His first spirit ring lit up with yellow light, and a crimson arrow appeared in his hand.

First Soul Skill · Flame Arrow

With a whoosh, a flaming arrow condensed from Soul Power shot into the sky. It not only knocked the descending net upward, but also burned through the silver web, resolving the danger of the Holy Soul Seven Heroes being trapped.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Elsewhere, Berserker Rhino and Xiang Yu were testing each other's brute strength. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had also become entangled with two members of the Berserker Team.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two figures circled around Dai Mubai, Xiang Yu, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing, launching an attack on the rear-line archers, Jia Luo and Cai Ji.

"Haha, now that we've defeated your Healing System Soul Master, Support System Soul Master, and long-range Soul Master, all we need to do is deal with the rest of you." The female member of the Berserker Team smiled.

"Defeat me?" A curve lifted at Cai Ji's lips as she smiled. "I'm not some pretty vase."

Ding-dong.

Cai Ji plucked the strings of her Seven-Stringed Zither, and the second soul ring around her lit up. Visible ripples of energy spread outward in circles, reaching a radius of more than five meters around her.

When the Berserker Team's two assault members entered the range of the Seven-Stringed Zither's sound waves, their bodies visibly slowed. It was as though currents of water were obstructing their advance.

"That's right. I may be a Support System Soul Master, but I'm not some pretty vase either." The second soul ring around Su Rong, whose martial soul was the Orange Gold Scepter, glowed yellow.

Second Soul Skill · Annihilation

A golden beam shot forth. As it neared the two Berserker Team members, it suddenly exploded. With a muffled boom, the shockwave from the blast sent the two members staggering back three or four meters.

Before the two Berserker Team assault members could catch their breath, Jia Luo's second soul ring lit up yellow.

Second Soul Skill · Thunderclap Arrow

With a sharp whoosh, lightning condensed from Soul Power flew out in succession like two thunder dragons, striking the two Berserker Team members.

Boom! Boom!

Two muffled thunderclaps rang out as the energy within the lightning detonated. The two Berserker Team assault members collapsed onto the ground, having lost the ability to continue fighting.

Third Soul Skill · Ruyi Compass · Frenzy

Seeing how difficult the Holy Soul Seven Heroes were to handle, the Berserker Team's Support System Soul Master used his third soul skill.

A red glow enveloped every member of the Berserker Team. Their vigor, energy, and spirit were immediately raised to their peak.

"It's here! The skill that has turned the tide for the Berserker Team time and again has appeared. Under Frenzy, every member of the Berserker Team will feel no pain at all. Can the Holy Soul Seven Heroes withstand the Berserker Team's next counter... counterattack?"

Before the host could finish speaking, Xiao Wu had already used Teleport. With a Waist Bow, she sent one Berserker Team member flying back. At the same time, Xiang Yu used Fearless Charge, shoving another Berserker Team member aside.

"Now!" Su Rong shouted urgently.

"Mm!" Jia Luo immediately understood.

Xiao Wu and Xiang Yu's actions had opened up an opening for Jia Luo.

Second Soul Skill · Thunderclap Arrow

With a thunderous explosion, the female Berserker Team member was struck by Jia Luo's Thunderclap Arrow, leaving her blood and Qi churning.

"Admit defeat! Otherwise, I won't hold back." Jia Luo's second soul ring was still glowing. Soul Power gathered on his bowstring, forming a silver arrow wreathed in lightning. The energy contained within it was far more terrifying than that of the previous arrows. Clearly, Jia Luo had shown mercy earlier.

Whoosh.

Jia Luo fired another arrow. One Berserker Team member failed to dodge in time, and the arrow struck his right arm. An explosion rang out, leaving the flesh on his arm mangled and bloody.

"W-We surrender!" The female Berserker Team member lowered her head and was ultimately forced to concede. Even though their strength had increased greatly and their bodies no longer felt any pain, those arrows could still kill.

"Since the Berserker Team has conceded, the victors of this team battle are the Holy Soul Seven Heroes."

As the host's words fell, thunderous cheers erupted from the audience.

When the seven Berserker Team members walked off the arena, Ning Qiu blocked their path.
