As soon as the words fell.

Ma Hongjun, who possessed the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, took the lead and struck first.

His opening move was his strongest killing technique—

"Third Soul Skill, Phoenix Wings Soaring!"

With an angry roar and a phoenix cry, his body transformed into a fat chicken that shot into the sky, preparing to attack Li Yu.

But Li Yu knew Shrek's soul skills quite well and had expected Ma Hongjun, with his Evil Fire Surge, to make the first move.

So, in the very first moment, she raised her hand and made a grasping motion.

"Without taking the Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Sunflower, can your flames compare to Bi Fang's?"

Li Yu sneered inwardly, then casually flung Bi Fang out.

The instant Bi Fang appeared, it rapidly enlarged, becoming a giant bird over five meters long.

Though it had only one leg, its entire body burned with blazing flames, making it look incomparably extraordinary.

In any case, it looked far more impressive than Ma Hongjun's fat chicken.

"And you call that a phoenix?"

"Can a thick enough skin really count as food?"

"Miss Li Yu's Fire Bird is the truly awesome one!"

"..."

The students in the stands immediately began commenting.

They were utterly disdainful of Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix.

Just as Li Yu had thought, Ma Hongjun had not yet consumed the Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Sunflower, nor would he ever have the chance to consume it.

His Evil Fire Phoenix had not undergone its transformation, and he had yet to encounter the opportunities of Sea God Island. Whether in appearance or power, it might have been excellent among ordinary fire-type Martial Souls.

But compared to truly top-tier Martial Souls, there was still a massive gap.

That was why she had not chosen Ying Yu to deal with Ma Hongjun, instead directly sending Bi Fang to meet him head-on.

She wanted to crush him in the very field he excelled in, using the same type of power!

Only then could she make him see the gap between them.

In an instant.

Bi Fang, soaring upward, collided with Ma Hongjun, the "falling chicken."

Ma Hongjun's eyes were full of pride. He believed that the flames of his Evil Fire Phoenix were among the finest in the world. With a thousand-year Soul Ring-enhanced soul skill, he was sure to stand above the crowd. So what if Li Yu was a four-ring Soul Ancestor? He could still take her on.

But he seemed to have forgotten that Dai Mubai had unleashed three soul skills at once and still gained no advantage against Ying Yu.

And how much worse could a similar technique from the same person possibly be?

No.

With Ma Hongjun's brain, which spent more time thinking with his lower half, perhaps he had never considered why Li Yu, who had "released water" earlier, was now "spitting fire."

But not everyone had a mind as simple as Ma Hongjun's.

No.

It should be said that when the other five saw Li Yu suddenly release another Fire Bird

They exchanged glances, their hearts growing heavy.

Back in the lounge.

They had briefly discussed Li Yu's Martial Soul with Grandmaster.

Based on what she had displayed before the Education Committee, they had unanimously concluded that Li Yu possessed an extremely powerful water-attribute Martial Soul.

Therefore, according to their plan, they had Ma Hongjun, who possessed the top-tier fire-attribute Martial Soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix, test her first.

This would allow them to gauge the "strength" of Li Yu's Martial Soul.

When Ma Hongjun heard that he would be the one testing her, and learned that she had a water-attribute Martial Soul, he had practically stuck his butt into the sky.

As for the later discussion, well... he truly had not taken it to heart.

Of course, none of them had cared.

To them, a four-ring Soul Ancestor—even one with three purple and one black Soul Rings—was not someone worth worrying about.

After all, it was six against one. They were confident they could win easily.

But now, it seemed Li Yu's Martial Soul was not so simple.

"Third Brother!"

Their gazes fell on Tang San almost simultaneously.

Without question, Tang San was their backbone. Now that the situation had changed, they naturally waited for him to make a decision.

Tang San's eyes were deep at that moment.

"Water, fire..."

Tang San pondered inwardly, then suddenly jolted. Could she have Twin Martial Souls?

From what he had seen, Li Yu had first revealed a fish-type Martial Soul, and now she had summoned a Fire Bird. There was a high chance she possessed two Martial Souls.

He immediately made his decision.

"Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, follow the original plan. Get in close!"

"Rongrong, Oscar, support them!"

"Remember, go all out!"

After a brief consideration, Tang San still chose to proceed according to the original plan, while he himself waited for an opening.

"Alright!"

Hearing this, the others did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately began carrying out the plan.

"Seven Treasures Have Names: first, strength; second, speed; third, soul!"

Ning Rongrong's three Soul Rings flashed in succession, and streams of colored light descended upon everyone.

Oscar had it much easier, pacing back and forth along the edge of the Soul Arena.

He had always had a habit of stockpiling supplies. The instant Tang San gave the order, he was already prepared with support sausages.

There was naturally no need to question Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's speed.

Xiao Wu's body darted rapidly through the air. Once she was close enough, she used Instant Movement and appeared behind Li Yu.

Then Charm and Waist Bow activated almost at the same time.

But Xiao Wu's expression changed immediately afterward.

Charm had actually failed!

Yet she had no time to stop, because Waist Bow had already been unleashed, and it felt as though she had fallen into a swamp!

At the same time.

Zhu Zhuqing arrived in the next instant and, following Tang San's instructions, launched a full-force attack.

She used Hell Stab to close in, then unleashed Netherworld Hundred Claws and Netherworld Slash in succession, striking straight for Li Yu's vital point!

"Hehe."

Li Yu was utterly unruffled. A faint smile even curled at the corner of her lips.

She slightly raised her hand and casually made a grasping motion. Ying Yu instantly swam out from her palm.

Ying Yu grew in the blink of an eye, then spat out a water bubble—Pure Water Defense.

Unlike when dealing with Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's attacks easily entered the water bubble!

Then their bodies froze in place, unable to move any longer!

Looking at the sharp claws that were mere inches from landing on her neck, Li Yu merely lowered her head slightly and took in the ravine between the mountains.

As her body shifted slightly and her gaze fell behind her, she reached out and swept aside the sight of fair, slender legs stirring beneath a fluttering skirt.

"That's all? Not enough."

Li Yu shook her head slightly. Then, light seemed to flash across her forehead as she softly murmured, "Azure Spring."

At the same time.

The collision between Bi Fang and Ma Hongjun had already ended.

The two had switched positions, as though they had simply passed by one another.

But in the next moment.

Ma Hongjun's face went pale, and he slammed heavily into the ground.

The flames around his body suddenly erupted into chaos before surging toward Bi Fang, which was leaping into the air.

Bi Fang was formed from pure fire elemental energy and could not possibly be harmed by fire.

Moreover.

Li Yu had one hundred percent fire elemental affinity and possessed a Water Fire Spirit Body, granting her immunity to both water and fire.

And all of that.

Also applied to Bi Fang.

Therefore.

There had never been any suspense in Bi Fang's clash with Ma Hongjun.

Furthermore, just as she understood Ying Yu's abilities, Li Yu naturally understood Bi Fang's abilities as well.

First: Wild Burning.

Its mouth hung with suspended flame, capable of spewing fire to burn all things.

Second: Sacrificial Body.

The self-destruction technique it had used during its battle against the Vine Soul Beast. It was worth noting that this technique could not only detonate the fire power within its body, but also use Absorption to draw in external fire energy.

And this Absorption ability seemed to be an added effect. After absorbing fire, it did not necessarily have to use Sacrificial Body; that energy could also be applied to its other abilities.

At this moment, Bi Fang was using that ability to absorb the Phoenix Evil Fire from Ma Hongjun's body.

Third: Fire Feather Meteor.

It had also been used against the Vine Soul Beast. It was a technique that attacked using its own flaming feathers.

Likewise, this skill would burn away all the fire power in its body.

But its power was also considerable.

"Fatty!"

"Fatty!"

Ning Rongrong and Oscar cried out at the same time.

They had never expected Ma Hongjun to lose after only a single exchange.

And from the looks of it, he even seemed to have suffered a backlash!

Oscar immediately rushed toward Ma Hongjun and, without another word, stuffed a feast of sausages into his mouth.

Unfortunately.

"How is this possible? How could my fire lose..."

Ma Hongjun stared blankly ahead, repeating himself in broken phrases. Then, under Oscar's gaze, his head tilted to one side, and he completely lost consciousness.

"Fatty!"

Oscar shook Ma Hongjun's body, his face full of panic. He stubbornly stuffed Recovery Big Sausages and Detoxification Small Sausages into Ma Hongjun's mouth one after another, even pinching Ma Hongjun's jaw to make him chew.

But it was still completely useless.

Oscar was deeply despairing. He was furious, yet utterly helpless.

As a Food System Soul Master, what could he do besides sell grilled sausages?

Kill enemies?

Other than being a little faster, he had almost no combat ability.

"Oscar, get out of the way!"

At that moment, Ning Rongrong's urgent cry suddenly rang out.

Oscar froze. Before he could react, he heard a series of piercing sounds cutting through the air.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

He had only just turned his head when a flaming feather sliced past his cheek, drawing threads of crimson blood.

Feeling the scorching pain on his cheek, Oscar finally came back to his senses.

Right now.

They were still fighting!

Ma Hongjun had lost, but that Fire Bird was still completely unharmed!

He hurriedly picked up Ma Hongjun, then stuffed an Extreme Speed Flying Mushroom Sausage into his mouth. Wings sprouted from his back as he prepared to take off.

But in the next instant, those illusory wings were torn apart by flaming feathers streaking down from above, and they withered away piece by piece.

"This..."

Oscar's expression changed drastically, and he immediately turned to run.

But in the next moment.

Pfft! Pfft!

Several flaming feathers pierced into his ankles, wrists, and back in succession!

The piercing, burning pain made him cry out. At the same time, the injury to his ankles caused him to lose his balance, and he fell flat onto the ground.

Fortunately, Ma Hongjun served as a cushion, so his face was not ruined.

But he had also essentially lost his ability to fight.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of flaming feathers streaking through the air continued to ring out.

Oscar was in despair.

But in the next moment, his vision blurred, and he appeared outside the arena.

Meng Shenji, acting as the referee, had intervened!

"Ma Hongjun and Oscar are eliminated!"

Meng Shenji's calm voice sounded at the same time.

As both referee and host, he naturally had to ensure the safety of the participants.

"Gasp!"

"Is Miss Li Yu really that terrifyingly strong?!"

"Exactly! Six people besieged her, yet in an instant, two had already been eliminated! And they were the Turkey Martial Soul Master with seemingly immense attack power, as well as the rare Food System Soul Master!"

"The gap in strength seems a bit too large!"

"But Miss Li Yu still hasn't even released her Soul Rings. How exactly is she using the power of her Martial Soul?"

"Gasp, now that you mention it, what exactly is Miss Li Yu's Martial Soul?"

"..."

In the stands, everyone watched in stunned disbelief.

They had already witnessed Shrek's talents.

Every one of them possessed two yellow and one purple Soul Ring. Their strength needed no further explanation, especially with Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Seed Battle Team serving as the backdrop.

Yet the strength Li Yu displayed left everyone even more shocked and curious.

Flying Fish, Fire Bird.

Could she possess Twin Martial Souls?

Everyone was speculating.

Tang San, who had been silently observing and maintaining his Silence, was no exception.

Even now, he had not figured out what Li Yu's Martial Soul was.

Very powerful!

That was the only conclusion he had reached.

The next moment, he moved.

At the same time, his voice rang out. "Rongrong, boost me with everything you have!"

Ning Rongrong did not hesitate. Ma Hongjun and Oscar had already been eliminated, while Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had fallen under Li Yu's control. Continuing to boost them would naturally be useless.

Thus, she immediately focused all her attention on Tang San.

"Seven Treasures Have Names: first, strength; second, speed; third, soul!"

Ning Rongrong's three Soul Rings flashed once more.

The difference was that this time, all the light converged upon Tang San alone.

After releasing those skills, Ning Rongrong's aura abruptly weakened by several degrees. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda floating before her dimmed somewhat.

Tang San paid no heed to any of that.

He shot forward at high speed.

Soul Power surged through his body, making him incredibly fast as afterimages trailed behind him.

This was Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

At the same time, purple light flickered in his eyes as Purple Demon Eyes guided his path. Brilliant white jade light flashed over his hands, and as he darted about, he slipped through wave after wave of fiery feathers. Those he could not evade in time were blocked with Mystic Jade Hand!

"Li Yu, you look down on my Hidden Weapons. Today, I'll show you the power of Hidden Weapons!"

Tang San spoke coldly. At the same time, several miniature arrows flew from his sleeves toward Li Yu.

Silent Sleeve Arrows!

With a sweep of his hand across his waist, a crossbow appeared in his grasp.

Without the slightest hesitation, he aimed at Li Yu's vital points and fired repeatedly.

Godly Zhuge Crossbow!

Tang San was about to make another move.

But at that moment, Li Yu's gaze happened to sweep over him.

A mocking smile appeared on that exquisitely beautiful yet cold face, and his lips parted slightly. "Trash is trash. What use is there in giving it a nice name?"

"You!"

Tang San was shocked and enraged, but in the next moment, he saw every crossbow bolt he had fired blocked by the bubbles surrounding Li Yu before drifting lightly to the ground.

He froze completely.

He had never expected his pride and joy, the Hidden Weapons, to be blocked so easily.

What kind of defense could possibly be so outstanding?

Tang San did not know, but then a cold smile rose within him.

After Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing's earlier probing, how could he not know about the defensive capabilities of Li Yu's bubbles?

So how could he be foolish enough to use the method of "breaking techniques with brute force" again?

Everything he had done was merely to—

Poison her!
