The Battle for the Championship

Asking for Recommendation Tickets and Monthly Tickets

Xiao Qing let out a low growl. His figure suddenly blurred, turning into an afterimage wrapped in wind and thunder as he charged straight at Yun Yingluo (Moon Rabbit Martial Soul, Level 48 Agility Attack Type).

"Second Soul Skill, Thunderclap Rend Space Claw!" Xiao Qing tore through the air with both claws, wind blades and Thunder Radiance weaving into a net that instantly enveloped Yun Yingluo's space to dodge.

Yun Yingluo's gaze was cool and clear. Facing the sharp offensive, her footsteps tapped with mysterious grace, her petite body seeming to lose all weight.

"First Soul Skill, Moon Shadow Maze!" Her figure instantly split into three afterimages, impossible to tell true from false. They nimbly threaded through the wind-and-thunder claw net, stepping on the claw winds as she narrowly avoided the edge.

"Hmph, petty tricks! Third Soul Skill, Thunder Wolf Strike!"

Xiao Qing's speed increased again. The Power of Wind and Thunder drew out a dazzling tail of light behind him. Abandoning wide-area attacks, he gathered everything into a single point and, like an arrow loosed from the bowstring, locked onto Yun Yingluo's true body and stabbed fiercely.

A trace of slyness flashed through Yun Yingluo's eyes. At the instant the Claws reached her body, her figure twisted strangely, and moonlight gathered at the tips of her feet.

"Third Soul Skill, Moon-Treading Consecutive Kick!"

She spun in midair at an unbelievable angle, her legs transforming into leg shadows that filled the sky. Every kick struck precisely at the weak points and joints of Xiao Qing's claw attack, letting out muffled bang bang sounds. Relying on exquisite technique and speed that was a step faster, she forcibly cut off Xiao Qing's ferocious advance.

The Power of Wind and Thunder collided with Moonlight Soul Power, exploding into fine sparks of energy.

High above, the Level 47 Yu Tianya (Wind Chime Bird) beat his cyan wings that flowed with wind patterns, his speed as fast as a gale.

A shrill cry came from his mouth. Invisible sound waves, accompanied by wind blades, poured down like a rainstorm toward the Level 51 Tantai Mingxin on the ground.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Wind Chime Chaotic Blades!"

Tantai Mingxin's expression was calm. The ancient Moonlight Bow in her hand flowed with cool radiance. She neither dodged nor avoided it, her fair fingers pulling the bowstring as a silver arrow condensed from pure moonlight instantly took shape.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Moonlight Cloud Piercer Arrow!"

The bowstring thrummed. The silver arrow left the string, its speed pushed to the extreme as it carved a straight vacuum trail through the air.

"Hiss!"

The Cloud Piercer Arrow accurately tore through the rain curtain of wind blades, pointing straight at Yu Tianya.

Yu Tianya was shocked and hurriedly twisted aside to dodge. The arrow brushed past his wings, taking several cyan feathers with it, and the fierce arrow wind scraped his cheeks painfully.

He had just steadied himself when Tantai Mingxin's second and third arrows arrived like meteors chasing the moon.

"Third Soul Skill, Moonlight Chain Shot!"

The three arrows formed a triangular formation, sealing off his space to dodge and forcing him to roll through the air in a sorry attempt to evade.

Among them, the most intense collision happened between Yan Zaiyang and Bai Yanshan, both of whom were Level 51.

Yan Zaiyang had originally been Level 48. After rising by one level this month, he used a soul bone to advance to Soul King, then quickly made a trip to Sunset Forest.

His whole body was covered in Dark Red Scales, and the single horn on his head burned with blazing flames, making him look like a humanoid tyrannosaurus.

"Third Soul Skill, Tyrannosaurus Golden Flame Body."

This was a self-strengthening amplification skill. His attack increased by 100%, defense by 100%, and strength by 50%.

Then he roared, both fists wrapped in berserk flames as he smashed them viciously toward Bai Yanshan.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Tyrannosaurus Sky-Burning Fist!"

Where the fist wind passed, the air twisted and the heat wave pressed in.

Bai Yanshan, of the Defense/Control Type, had a cold and stern expression. Facing the surging giant flaming fist, he took a deep breath. The phantom of a jade toad appeared behind him, and his skin was instantly covered with a layer of crystal-clear ice-crystal jade armor that gave off a chilling cold.

"Third Soul Skill, Jade Toad Ice Crystal Wall!"

He crossed both arms before his chest, and an enormous, heavy ice shield formed from countless hexagonal ice crystals instantly condensed.

Boom—!!!

The crimson giant flaming fist slammed viciously into the glittering ice shield!

A deafening boom rang out along with an ear-piercing "hiss hiss"—the sound of high heat and cold ice wrestling wildly.

The ice shield trembled violently, its surface scorched by the flames into vast clouds of white mist and cracks, but the ground beneath Bai Yanshan's feet was also shaken by the immense force until it cracked inch by inch.

He gritted his teeth, Soul Power surging wildly. The cracks on the ice shield rapidly closed under the replenishment of the cold air, holding firmly against Yan Zaiyang's ferocious impact.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Moon-Corroding Cold Miasma!"

Bai Yanshan shouted in a low voice. The ice shield suddenly exploded, turning into a thick, ice-cold deep-blue cold fog that enveloped Yan Zaiyang.

The cold air seeped into every opening, madly eroding the flaming scale armor and protective Soul Power on Yan Zaiyang's body.

The flames on Yan Zaiyang's body immediately dimmed, and his movements slowed by a fraction.

"Damn it! Secret Technique, Flame Resonance!"

Yan Zaiyang roared. The Soul Power of the Heavenly Flame Dragon Heart Art inside his body circulated along a profound route. The Dark Red Scales on his body suddenly lit up, and the flames surged up violently once more, forcibly dispersing the bone-eroding cold and falling into a stalemate with Bai Yanshan's ice toad power.

At the very rear of the battlefield was the duel between two Healing Type Soul Masters famous on the Heavenly Strategy List.

During the last match against Chang'an, Ye Zijun had suffered the lightest injuries—just Soul Power exhaustion and damaged meridians. After resting for two days, she went back on the field, and it was also because of her support that the Heaven Dou Team managed to gnaw through the other academies' desperate, wolf-like counterattacks in the following matches.

One focus of this match was whether the Moonlight Team could take her down during the battle.

A huge Nine Heart Begonia floated behind her. Pink healing waves continuously surged like a tide toward the Heaven Dou members locked in fierce battle, especially Yan Zaiyang, who was being eroded by Moon-Corroding Cold Miasma, and Yu Tianya, who was being forced into danger again and again by the Cloud Piercer Arrows.

Wherever the light waves passed, wounds healed, and Soul Power was nourished.

Hua Xiyan (Level 49 Healing Support Type) looked much more composed. The phantom of her Moon Laurel tree radiated a gentle yet tenacious aura of life, while cool moonlight flowed around her.

"Third Soul Skill, Clear Radiance Healing!" An area-of-effect healing halo enveloped Moonlight Team's members, continuously restoring their injuries and stamina.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Jade Dew Nourishment!" When she saw Bai Yanshan's aura falter slightly after he had taken Yan Zaiyang's charge head-on, a more condensed emerald light immediately fell precisely onto him. This single-target healing soothed his surging blood and qi and the turbulence in his Soul Power.

Her healing was like a clear spring beneath the moon—silent, yet effectively sustaining Moonlight Team's endurance.

Meanwhile, in another part of the battlefield, the intensity and level of the fighting suddenly rose.

Level 57 Chen Yanwu pressed forward, her figure ethereal as an immortal's. The Illusionary Heart Seven Kill Sword in her hand was hard to distinguish between real and illusory, and every swing stirred up invisible ripples of mental force. Her figure wove across the battlefield, advancing through Xue Shiming's Sacred Golden Feathers and clashing fiercely with the Sky Splitting Great Goose Claw Shadow.

Compared to Tang Chen, who stood nearly 1.9 meters tall and carried a powerful, imposing presence, Zhu Wuxin (Level 54), only 1.7 meters tall and blessed with a cute baby face, seemed exceptionally petite.

Yet she was locked in a fierce melee with this tenth-ranked expert on the Genius List, whose aura was somewhat unsteady, but whose fighting spirit had not diminished in the slightest!

"Fourth Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

As Zhu Wuxin's purple soul ring flared brightly, her left hand also condensed a Nine-Toothed Rake identical to the one in her right hand.

With both rakes in hand, her aura suddenly soared.
