Ling Luochen held an Ice Staff in her hand. Her very temperament was cold, and with an Ice Martial Soul, whenever she used it, her entire presence resembled an emotionless ice sculpture.

At the same time, a pair of broad wings sprouted from Gongyang Mo's back. They looked incredibly striking, solely because they bore the colors of a rainbow.

From his back to the tips of his wings, the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple gradually shifted into one another. When white scales appeared on his skin, Huo Yuxi knew what Martial Soul it was.

A top-tier support-type Martial Soul capable of rivaling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—the Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul. Its greatest feature was absorbing Soul Power during battle, continuously increasing its own Soul Power.

"Crimson Power, Orange Soul."

He shot straight into the air. His first and second soul rings lit up simultaneously, and his rainbow wings flapped out two differently colored rings of light that enveloped the teammates on the ground.

Two corresponding colored halos slowly formed above the heads of Huo Yuxi, Ma Xiaotao, and Ling Luochen.

It was Huo Yuxi's first time receiving such a boost, and she was still a little immersed in the feeling. The red halo granted strength. Because of her body, she had never experienced strength flooding through her entire body.

But at this moment, she felt as though she could punch a soul beast to death with a single fist.

Then there was the orange halo, which was equally miraculous. So long as it affected them, their Soul Power could continuously recover.

It differed from Lu Wanwan's second soul skill. Hers had a time limit but no upper limit; Gongyang Mo's was the complete opposite.

On the other side, Dai Yaoheng, as captain, was also the first to make a move. He covered one eye with a hand as Soul Power erupted from his body. Unlike Dai Huabin's minor antics, his current pressure was beyond what ten Dai Huabins could compare to.

Facing such a formidable enemy, Huo Yuxi did not choose to confront him head-on. Instead, she used her second soul skill to assist in controlling the battlefield.

Sensing the suppression, Yao Haoxuan immediately let out a roar. His entire body rapidly expanded, turning into an iron-green giant ape over four meters tall.

The moment he appeared, Huo Yuxi immediately felt her support effects weaken. Once again, she recalled the description of this Martial Soul from the book.

The Earth-Shaking Ape mainly supported its teammates through sonic attacks. Its second soul skill, Battle Intent, increased the Soul Power and strength of allied targets within range by twenty percent and granted immunity to mental control.

Huo Yuxi hurriedly stopped. Although Gongyang Mo was supporting her, she possessed a mental attribute and was perfectly countered. Continuing would only be futile.

Not far behind her, Ling Luochen raised her Ice Staff. A windstorm mixed with ice and snow howled as it swept toward their opponents.

Ten thousand years ago, the Four Elemental Academies stood side by side, and elemental Martial Souls were not uncommon. But by now, they were one in ten thousand, and Ling Luochen happened to be one of them.

Ice Martial Soul—its ability was ice control!

After spending so much time together, they understood one another's abilities extremely well. Dai Yaoheng swiftly sent Xi Xi to deal with her.

Xi Xi's Martial Soul was the Lightning Leopard, an agility-attack type specialized in assassination. If Yao Haoxuan and Huo Yuxi had been on the same team, with both of them countering her, she would not have had any chance at all.

Unfortunately, Yao Haoxuan was on their side. With his Battle Intent active, Huo Yuxi found it difficult to use her second soul skill.

In theory, Huo Yuxi's second soul ring was a thousand-year ring. Combined with Gongyang Mo's support, it should have narrowed some of the Soul Power gap against Yao Haoxuan's hundred-year soul ring. But attribute suppression was impossible to overcome.

Xi Xi was incredibly fast. Even Ling Luochen struggled to pinpoint her location. As a control-type soul master, she hated this kind of situation beyond her control.

Naturally, Huo Yuxi noticed as well. She turned and smiled at Ling Luochen, who understood her meaning and focused on controlling the entire battlefield.

Huo Yuxi was not merely boasting, either. As a mental-attribute Martial Soul, the Soul Devouring Spider mainly located living beings through perception.

To it, even dead things could be found so long as their consciousness had not completely vanished.

"First Soul Skill, Gui Yan Blade."

Xi Xi did not take the young girl beside her seriously in the slightest when it came to speed, her specialty. No matter how unusual Huo Yuxi was, she was still only a Soul Elder.

But just as the Lightning Blade in her hand was about to strike Ling Luochen, something blocked it. Then, in a daze, she heard a sharp whoosh and instinctively rolled aside.

Ling Luochen reacted swiftly. "Fourth soul skill, Ice Radiance Ring."

The freezing wind howled, and countless rings of ice tightly bound Xi Xi before she could evade them, throwing her off the battle platform.

Their side had successfully eliminated one opponent. Huo Yuxi had been worried that Xi Xi would refuse to accept it, since she had indeed exploited Xi Xi's mindset. Otherwise, the Gui Yan Blade could never have gotten close to her.

But Xi Xi was ultimately someone who had earned the title of one of the Shrek Seven Devils. She merely felt that she had subconsciously assumed there were four teammates on this side while the other side had to protect someone, which made her careless. She should not have let down her guard.

After deeply reflecting on it, Xi Xi began watching the match seriously.

When Dai Yaoheng saw Xi Xi leave the platform, he began to panic slightly, and his attacks became increasingly fierce.

After breaking free of Ling Luochen's ice control, Chen Zifeng revealed his Soul-Chasing Sword. Once he activated his soul skill, his eyes turned red, and his hair began to redden from the roots in an instant.

A murderous aura rushed toward them.

Huo Yuxi dodged a sword strike and ran to Ling Luochen's side. "First Soul Skill, Gui Yan Blade."

"Third soul skill, Ice Domain."

The two control specialists joined forces. Dai Yaoheng's side only had Yao Haoxuan, barely a control-type combatant, so they naturally could not withstand them.

Ling Luochen's third soul skill controlled the entire battlefield within the Ice Domain, while Huo Yuxi's Gui Yan Blade became a sharp sword against their enemies.

"Fourth soul skill, Azure Flourish; Fifth soul skill, Azure Defense." Gongyang Mo added another two layers of support boosts.

The Gui Yan Blade's attack power doubled. The instant it clashed with the Soul-Chasing Sword, it did not lose out in the slightest. But Huo Yuxi knew she had to break away quickly. She could never win in a contest of Soul Power.

When she turned and saw Yao Haoxuan assisting Dai Yaoheng against Ma Xiaotao, she swiftly used her second soul skill.

This time, it did not cover the entire field. She limited its range to a one-meter radius around Chen Zifeng, doubling the restraint he suffered.

The two of them focused on dealing with Chen Zifeng, while with Gongyang Mo's support, Ma Xiaotao could barely hold Dai Yaoheng and Yao Haoxuan to a draw.

But she definitely would not be able to hold on for long.

Chen Zifeng clearly understood this as well, so his gaze shifted toward Gongyang Mo in the air. Because of the distance, Xi Xi had not chosen to target this troublesome support-type soul master earlier.

The Soul-Chasing Sword swiftly turned toward Gongyang Mo, its blade skimming through the air. But this was no simple task. In the sky, Gongyang Mo was effectively on his home ground.

Unlike the owner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Gongyang Mo's pair of wings was practically cheating, almost completely compensating for the weakness of support-type soul masters.

The instant the Soul-Chasing Sword flew toward him, he immediately beat his wings. But Chen Zifeng naturally understood his advantage as well. It had only been a probing sneak attack to begin with.
