As the Shrek Seven Devils were recovering, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team walked past them.

"You've grown stronger than I imagined," He Qiang said, staring at Tang San.

"You're not bad yourselves. I can see you've made tremendous progress as well." Tang San smiled calmly.

"Perhaps we'll get to have a proper fight again in this tournament." He Qiang smiled faintly. "So what if it's the Spirit Hall team? We have our own trump cards too."

"I hope so." Tang San smiled lightly.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy team and the Spirit Hall Academy team stepped onto the competition stage. Liu Xiaoxiao, Chen Fang, and Hu Liena walked at the very front of the Spirit Hall Academy team, their surging momentum and confidence astonishing.

Level 53. That was the Soul Power Level of Liu Xiaoxiao and Chen Fang. By now, they had already pulled ahead.

Yet Liu Xiaoxiao's heart was anything but calm. Wang Haochen and Zheng Bei aren't much of a problem, but He Qiang's temperament was already among the best of us. And he was reincarnated as someone like Yu Tianheng... There's probably no certainty of victory in today's battle.

He Qiang's Soul Power had already reached Level 45, Wang Haochen's was Level 44, and even Zheng Bei, who had originally possessed the lowest Soul Power Level, had reached Level 43.

Yet Spirit Hall had three more black Soul Rings than they did.

There was no fear on He Qiang's face. Instead, it even held a trace of excitement.

A sense of foreboding rose within Liu Xiaoxiao.

As the referee announced the start of the match, the seven members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team quickly retreated. They then formed a circle with Zheng Bei at its center, while the other six rapidly moved around the outside. Although they had not released their Martial Souls, intense Soul Power fluctuations spread continuously, gathering frantically toward the center.

"Not good!" Liu Xiaoxiao's expression changed as he swiftly lunged behind Hu Liena.

Though Hu Liena did not understand what He Qiang and the others intended to do, she reacted quickly and lunged forward as well. At the same time, two golden rays shot from the scepter of the Spirit Hall Academy team's Support-type Soul Master and entered Liu Xiaoxiao and Hu Liena's bodies.

A red curtain of light abruptly appeared and spread, enveloping their bodies before instantly erupting outward and shrouding the opposing seven contestants as well.

Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Bewitching Charm.

At the same time, Chen Fang led the other four in rapidly retreating. "Prepare to engage at any moment!"

"Change!" He Qiang shouted, and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team swiftly shifted formation into a straight line.

He Qiang stood at the front, followed by the Shi Family Brothers, then Osler and Yu Feng, with Wang Haochen and Zheng Bei at the rear.

All four of Zheng Bei's Soul Rings lit up at once. Rays of light emerged from the Nine Hearts Begonia and flowed into Wang Haochen's body.

No matter how many Soul Rings the Nine Hearts Begonia Martial Soul possessed, it had only one Soul Skill. It was precisely for this reason that it could also perform Ring Fusion. And precisely because of this, Zheng Bei's Soul Power was far greater than that of ordinary Soul Masters, allowing him to initiate this fusion skill.

Wang Haochen raised his arms and placed them on Yu Feng's shoulders. Dense light swiftly entered Yu Feng's body.

The light continued passing along like this until it entered He Qiang's body. Then the light vanished, replaced by an incomparably immense pressure.

That was right. This was the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill.

Through the connection between his reincarnated identity as Yu Tianheng and the Grandmaster, He Qiang had successfully convinced the Grandmaster to teach them the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill.

Although their senses, Soul Power, and movements were all heavily suppressed within Bewitching Charm's domain, the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill still displayed formidable power.

He Qiang's Soul Power had now reached Level 70. However, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of two Level 50 Soul Kings could absolutely rival a Level 70 Soul Sage in short-term power. Even over a prolonged period, it would still remain above Level 60.

But Liu Xiaoxiao's side had seven people.

The instant the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill was completed, Liu Xiaoxiao threw out his Moon Blade. However, it did not fly directly at He Qiang, but instead veered past him, intending to guide the Moon Blade toward the people behind him.

Liu Xiaoxiao knew clearly that defeating He Qiang head-on was nearly impossible. But as long as he knocked down anyone in the rear, the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill would instantly collapse.

At the critical moment, He Qiang's vast combat experience showed itself.

His First Soul Ring lit up, and he unleashed Thunder Dragon Claw, knocking the Moon Blade back. At the same time, his Second Spirit Ring and Third Spirit Ring lit up. Thunderous Force, enhanced by Wrath of Thunder, suddenly launched toward Liu Xiaoxiao.

Liu Xiaoxiao paid no attention to Thunderous Force. With a wave of his left hand, his other Moon Blade flew out as well, attacking the people in the rear.

At the same time, the first three Soul Rings on Chen Fang's body lit up simultaneously. Flame Body, Earth Expansion, and Titan Body activated at once, causing his body to swell instantly to over three meters tall. He leaped into the air and, bolstered by the Scepter Soul Master, blocked that barrage of Thunderous Force.

However, Chen Fang himself suffered severe injuries from the attack, which were slowly healing under the Scepter Soul Master's treatment.

He Qiang's First Soul Ring lit up once more, and Thunder Dragon Claw blocked the other Moon Blade. At the same time, his Third and Fourth Soul Rings lit up. Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Swift Strike, enhanced by Wrath of Thunder, activated. A small blue dragon roughly one meter long charged straight at Liu Xiaoxiao.

Liu Xiaoxiao and both Moon Blades vanished at the same instant, replaced by a massive white disc.

Self-Created Soul Skill, Full Moon.

Spinning violently at high speed, Full Moon collided with the little blue dragon.

A thunderous boom rang out. The little blue dragon was ground into nothingness by Full Moon's impact and rotation, but Liu Xiaoxiao finally exhausted his Soul Power and ended the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Hu Liena.

At that moment, Chen Fang swiftly charged at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team. His Fifth Spirit Ring lit up as Flame Fury activated, and with the Scepter Soul Master's enhancement, he rushed forward with unmatched force.

He Qiang's old strength had just been exhausted before his new strength could arise. He could only unleash Thunder Dragon Claw once more. Chen Fang threw a full-powered punch, blasting apart Thunder Dragon Claw before crashing into and scattering the people behind him.

Once the formation broke apart, the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill naturally ended.

Chen Fang then slammed both hands onto the ground. His Fourth Spirit Ability, Magma Mire, activated. Bubbles of churning magma immediately surged from beneath the ground, leaving everyone sluggish as though they had fallen into a swamp.

Liu Xiaoxiao threw out his two Moon Blades again, attacking the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team.

With their Soul Power greatly depleted, they naturally could not withstand the Moon Blades' attacks. At the same time, the Spirit Hall Academy team's remaining three Assault System Soul Masters charged forward as well.

There was no longer any suspense in this match.

"We concede." He Qiang stood up and spoke.

Liu Xiaoxiao felt somewhat bitter. This battle had exposed nearly all of his abilities.

Still, it did not matter much. After all, He Qiang and the others still knew nothing about the abilities that truly differed from his original ones.
