The Glazed Fire on Lin Xingyu's body suddenly surged, frantically absorbing the Fire Element in the air. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen glazed fireballs hovered in midair, ready to launch.

Second Soul Skill, Glazed True Fire!

Lin Xingyu lined up the fireballs one after another, and one smashed straight toward Gu Yue. He knew very well that Gu Yue controlled space and the Wind Element; even firing a dozen at once would make it hard to hit her. Anger flashed in Gu Yue's eyes, and a streak of silver light flickered deep within them. Her right hand instantly ignited with flames ten times stronger than before, blazing with red light like a small sun, raising the temperature of the arena air by several degrees.

Gu Yue met fire with fire. Light flashed, and the flames flew out to meet Lin Xingyu's fireball. The two collided, exploded, and ultimately destroyed each other. Surprise flashed through Gu Yue's eyes, and she immediately gathered the Water Element to condense an ice blade. Blue light had only just flickered, and the ice blade had yet to fully take shape, when Lin Xingyu's second fireball had already arrived. Lin Xingyu held the advantage in Soul Power and Spiritual Power, and with the boost from his second Soul Skill, his fire condensation speed was even faster. Green light flashed around Gu Yue, and she teleported to dodge while sending the ice blade to meet the fireball.

Bang! The second fireball exploded in an instant. Immediately after, the third fireball flew smashing toward the direction Gu Yue had retreated.

Lin Xingyu knew very well that he could not compare to Gu Yue in elemental control or combat experience. After all, she was a Dragon King who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Moreover, the three on his side had never undergone any coordination training, so they simply could not fight together properly.

So he decided to make use of his own advantages and split the battlefield with force-field-type skills. If the opponents tried to regroup, he would use powerful Force Field Impact to block them; if he really could not separate them, he would attack head-on. He had not expected a single Force Field Impact to be so effective, directly separating all three opponents.

If he could not match her in elemental control, then he simply would not compete in that area. After Lin Xingyu had opened the meridians throughout his body and created his Sea of Qi, both the quantity and quality of his Soul Power had increased greatly, and his recovery speed was astonishingly fast. The Soul Power he could use was several times, even more than ten times, Gu Yue's.

After perceiving the heart and seeing his nature, and after that sudden enlightenment, his Spiritual Power had soared to fourteen hundred. His ability to gather elements had greatly increased, reaching ten times Gu Yue's current Spiritual Power.

Glazed True Fire transformed his Fire Attribute and greatly increased its power, making it difficult for Gu Yue to neutralize it easily. Lin Xingyu understood that if he could not beat her in mechanics, then he would beat her in stats. He could practically be called a stat monster, so what if Gu Yue was a mechanics monster?

Since he could not attack Gu Yue in a short time, he planned to bombard her with a massive number of fireballs, leaving her no time to interfere with the other battlefields while he went to support his teammates. Once the others were dealt with, they could three-on-one her.

Gu Yue moved all over the place, occasionally pausing to use other elements to interfere with the fireballs before swiftly leaving again. Seeing this, Lin Xingyu turned and charged toward Tang Wulin.

Facing Wang Jinxi's attack, Tang Wulin did not dodge. He directly erupted with a terrifying aura that suppressed the other party's Martial Soul and bloodline, instantly weakening Wang Jinxi's aura by thirty percent.

Then his right hand was covered in diamond-shaped golden scales as he swung with all his strength, sending Wang Jinxi flying. This scene shocked the entire arena, and even the referee prepared to intervene. Gu Yue was also startled by the aura that should not have appeared on Tang Wulin.

When Tang Wulin saw Lin Xingyu charging over, he threw the Forging Hammer in his left hand, which was attached to Blue Silver Grass, while Gu Yue also hurriedly flung out Wind Bind to help.

Lin Xingyu's expression did not change. The first Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up, and Force Field Impact scattered the Wind Element. He grabbed the Blue Silver Grass and yanked hard, pulling Tang Wulin forward with enormous force.

Lin Xingyu followed the momentum and punched out. Tang Wulin reacted and leaned forward with both arms protecting his body, but he was still smashed backward. Immediately after, the white Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up, and Blue Silver Grass rushed toward Lin Xingyu. But Lin Xingyu grabbed his left calf and slammed him into the ground. Tang Wulin's head spun, and a dent was smashed into the floor. Sweetness rose in his throat, and he fainted. Seeing this, Lin Xingyu threw him off the competition stage.

Lin Xingyu had undergone Blood Replacement three times, and one arm alone possessed several thousand kilograms of tremendous strength. After Martial Soul Possession, his strength was even more terrifying, leaving Tang Wulin with no power to resist at all. Below the stage, Wu Changkong hurriedly caught Tang Wulin and infused Soul Power into him to examine him. After confirming that he was only unconscious and had no serious injuries, he secretly let out a breath of relief, then looked at Lin Xingyu in great surprise.

He knew very well that Tang Wulin's strength was among the best of low-level Soul Masters, yet Lin Xingyu had knocked him unconscious head-on in two blows. This showed just how terrifying Lin Xingyu's strength was.

Wang Jinxi had originally wanted to rush toward Tang Wulin to help Lin Xingyu. Seeing Lin Xingyu send Tang Wulin flying with one punch, he turned instead and charged toward the black region where Zhang Yangzi and Xie Xie were. He felt that although Tang Wulin was strong, he had been crushed by Lin Xingyu, so the outcome there was already decided.

When Gu Yue saw Tang Wulin being caught by Wu Changkong, she let out a breath of relief, then turned and looked angrily at Lin Xingyu. Silver light blazed in her eyes, and her speed increased as she condensed ice arrows in her hands and shot them at Lin Xingyu, because flames had little effect on him.

Lin Xingyu erupted with flames and condensed more than a dozen Glazed Fireballs, smashing them at Gu Yue in groups of five while simultaneously activating Magnetic Field Control and Force Field Impact. Gu Yue was just about to fuse elements and unleash a big move when Force Field Impact interrupted her, leaving her no choice but to use Spatial Transfer to dodge.

The fireballs and ice arrows collided, and a thunderous boom rang out as white mist spread across the arena. Lin Xingyu smashed out a second group of fireballs, and Gu Yue helplessly transferred again. Multiple spatial jumps consumed a tremendous amount of her Soul Power, while direct clashes were also disrupted by the force field, preventing her from charging up. Her previous opponents had been weak, and she had not used her full strength, but this time, when she wanted to exert herself, Lin Xingyu suppressed her completely.

Zhang Yangzi's Darkness Curtain vanished, and he and Wang Jinxi walked out. Xie Xie had exhausted his Soul Power and fainted, so the dean of studies, Long Hengxu, carried him down. Lin Xingyu condensed thirty Glazed Fireballs and began compressing the flames, making them even more powerful. The temperature on the competition stage rose sharply.

At this moment, Gu Yue's Soul Power was nearly exhausted. Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi stepped forward, and the three of them surrounded Gu Yue.

Long Hengxu felt that Gu Yue's Martial Soul was powerful, able to control six elements and practically worthy of being called a super Martial Soul. She had simply been unlucky, suppressed by Lin Xingyu's flames and force field, and the gap in Soul Power was also great.

Twenty seconds later, Gu Yue's Soul Power was exhausted, and she had no choice but to concede. In the end, even one against three, she still could not turn the tables.
