The Overwhelming Ice Phoenix, Soul Spirit Showcase
The three-day break flew by, and the top eight teams had basically recovered from their previous exhaustion, with some even breaking through to the next level of Soul Power.
Every team member is in top form for this battle, because they all want to win the championship.
Not only because the champion's reward is generous, but also because it is the best opportunity to prove oneself to one's students and sect.
The first match of the first day of the fifth round was between the Spirit Empire Royal Academy Team and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Team.
Led by Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling, the members of the Spirit Empire Royal Academy, dressed in gleaming gold team uniforms, calmly walked onto the Spirit Dueling Platform.
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's team was also quite strong, they did not have any top-tier combatants at the Soul Emperor level, and there was still a significant gap between them and the Spirit Empire Royal Academy.
Even so, Ning Yaqi and Gu Feng were not afraid at all. Even if they lost, they wanted to lose gracefully.
After the referee announced the competition rules and introduced the participants, the 100-meter-diameter Spirit Dueling Platform was handed over to this group of prodigies.
As the team leader, Shui Bing'er stepped forward, and six Soul Ring — Two Yellow Two Purple, and two black—slowly rose from her body. A peerless, incomparably beautiful ice Phoenix Phantom appeared out of thin air.
As the Ice Phoenix appeared, a soaring phoenix cry resounded throughout the entire venue, and terrifying chills also spread out the moment the Ice Phoenix appeared.
Even inside the massive stadium that housed 500,000 people, the temperature suddenly dropped.
A mere Soul Emperor with six Soul Rings, yet her Power of Ice has already reached such a terrifying level? Under the tutelage of Gai Yue and Xue Qingluan, and with Oscar's generous provision of Bing'er and the sacrifice of a ten-thousand-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion, she, now only at level sixty-two, has already reached the pinnacle of Ice Element.
Extreme Ice, Ice Phoenix... any one of them is one of the top existences on the continent, Shui Bing'er, at the Soul Emperor level, is almost invincible.
Moreover, she also possesses a 40,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Spirit. So far in the competition, Shui Bing'er has only used the first three Soul Rings. Not to mention the Soul Spirit, she hasn't even used the two Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.
As she released her Martial Soul, Shui Bing'er parted her lips slightly. "Spirit Empire Royal Academy, Captain Shui Bing'er, Martial Soul: Ice Phoenix, Level 62 Control System Spirit Emperor."
As her words fell, a terrifying aura of ice swept over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Team like a tidal wave.
At the same time, Ye Lingling, who was next to Shui Bing'er, slowly raised her hands. In front of her, a large pale purple flower appeared, and a sweet fragrance wafted over.
The mere fragrance alone was enough to invigorate one's spirits and make breathing much easier.
As her Martial Soul appeared, six Soul Ring— Two Yellow Two Purple, and two black—rose on her body.
She slowly said, "Ye Lingling, Martial Soul: Nine-Heart Begonia, Level 61 Support System Soul Emperor."
Like Shui Bing'er, Ye Lingling 'Sixth Spirit Ring was obtained through the Spirit Beast Sacrifice, which became their Soul Spirit.
However, their Soul Power Level did not break through much because the quality of their Soul Power far exceeded that of others of the same level.
Of course, the main reason is that they used all their excess Soul Power to enhance their Martial Soul.
This is why Shui Bing'er mastered the Extreme Ice at only level 60-something, and Ye Lingling can now be considered the ultimate healer.
The two Soul Emperor released their Martial Soul, and the team members also released their own Martial Soul.
"Shui Yue'er, Martial Soul: Jade Dolphin, Level 53 Agile Attack System."
"Meng Ke'er, Martial Soul: Black Demon, Level 52 Control System."
"Meng Yiran, Martial Soul: Snake Blade, Level 51 Agile Attack System."
"Wisdom, Martial Soul: Azure Vine, Level 51 Control System."
"Bai Yu, Martial Soul: Star Furnace, Level 51 Defense System."
All five team members are Spirit King, and their Soul Ring are all the best configuration of Two Yellow Two Purple and one black.
Shui Yue'er is Shui Bing'er's younger sister. Meng Yiran is the granddaughter of Dragon Duke Meng Shu. Meng Ke'er, Bai Yu, and Wisdom Hui are descendants of three former instructors of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and have now achieved their current success thanks to the full support of the students.
As members of the Spirit Empire Royal Academy Team, they received top-tier resources, and all five now possess a Soul Spirit of 15,000 years.
With the release of their Soul Skill and Martial Soul, their respective Soul Power pressure, along with Shui Bing'er's terrifying pressure, pressed down on the seven members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Team.
Ning Yaqi's expression changed drastically. Gu Feng, Wang Tianba, and Zhang Tianshuang stepped forward at the same time, releasing five Soul Ring— Two Yellow Two Purple, and one black—simultaneously. Along with the release of the Soul Ring, three ferocious and terrifying Soul Spirit also appeared in an instant.
The three Soul Spirit are respectively a 15,000-year-old Thorn Bone Dragon, a 13,000-year-old Giant Paw Black Tiger, and a 15,000-year-old Sabertooth Dragon.
At the same time, Ning Yaqi and the remaining three Soul Ancestor also released their Martial Soul, with four Soul Ring (Two Yellow Two Purple) in total. Together with Gu Feng and the other two, along with their Soul Spirit, they barely managed to withstand the terrifying pressure from the Spirit Empire Royal Academy Team.
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Team, Captain Gu Feng, Martial Soul: Bone Dragon, Level 56 Assault System Attack Spirit King."
"Ning Yaqi, Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Level 49 Support Spirit Master."
"Wang Tianba, Martial Soul: Demon Slaying Saber, Level 54 Assault System."
"Yang Tianshuang, Martial Soul: Starfall Sword, Level 53, Assault System."
Soul Spirit do indeed bring powerful combat strength to Soul Master, greatly enhancing their abilities, but the consumption of these spirits is also enormous.
Facing the Spirit Empire Royal Academy Team, whose members were all at least Spirit King, Gu Feng, Wang Tianba, and Yang Tianshuang directly displayed their full abilities.
Ning Yaqi also pushed her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to its limit, while the other three Soul Ancestor also went all out, hoping to put some pressure on their opponents.
Unfortunately, the opponents of Gu Feng and the others are like an insurmountable mountain to them now.
Ye Lingling slowly retreated to the back of the battle formation, with Bai Yu protecting her behind him.
Shui Bing'er's First Spirit Ring instantly lit up, and six ice-blue rays of light shot out, instantly Ice Seal the other six members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Team except for Ning Yaqi.
The Ice Seal activated by the Extreme Ice was so powerful that even Assault System Spirit Emperor of the same level would need considerable effort to break free, let alone her opponents, who were only a group of opponents whose highest level was no more than Spirit King. The three-headed Soul Spirit that had been Ice Seal by their master directly attacked their opponents, and Shui Yue'er, Meng Yiran, Meng Ke'er, Bai Yu, and Wisdom simultaneously released their own Soul Spirit.
Five against three, a decisive victory. The opponent's Soul Spirit was rendered useless.
At the same time, Meng Ke'er transformed into a black shadow and darted out. The moment she met Ning Yaqi's gaze, she was immediately engrossed in a dream, and even her Martial Soul was unconsciously withdrawn, leaving her unable to fight.
The Black Demon's control ability is terrifying. Once trapped in it, unless Meng Ke'er actively releases the Soul Skill, Ning Yaqi, at her current level, will have no chance of escaping the Soul Skill.
At the same time, Shui Yue'er, Meng Yiran, Wisdom, and Bai Yu launched an attack.
The sound waves, the Snake Blade, the Azure Vine, and the Star Furnace all locked onto one enemy. Frozen in the Ice Seal, they were completely unable to resist and could only pray that the Ice Seal would withstand the opponent's attacks.
Just as such a terrifying attack was about to strike, Shui Bing'er waved her jade hand lightly, and the Ice Seal instantly broke. Gu Feng and the others didn't even have time to release their Soul Skill before they were enveloped by countless attacks.
After a barrage of attacks, only Gu Feng and Yang Tianshuang remained standing on the Spirit Dueling Platform. At this moment, the two looked rather miserable, their team uniforms were tattered and torn.
In just one round, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Team realized the gap between themselves and their opponents. Looking at Ning Yaqi, who was trapped in the Black Demon Dream and seemed to be in a daze, Gu Feng was unwilling, but he also knew that he could not defeat his opponents at all.
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Team concedes defeat."
The victory of the Spirit Empire Royal Academy was almost a foregone conclusion, because they were too strong.
Most importantly, Ye Lingling, who was in the support position, almost never made a move, but anyone who knew about the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul was very clear about what this Martial Soul meant.
As long as the Soul Emperor- level Nine-Heart Begonia remains standing there, there is no possibility of her getting injured on this Spirit Dueling Platform.
Moreover, Ye Lingling had a hidden Soul Spirit that she hadn't used yet—a ten- Ten Thousand Year Level Healing System Soul Spirit, plus the healing of a six-ring Nine-Heart Begonia. Unless someone was instantly killed, it would be difficult for them to die.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Team conceded defeat. Ye Lingling lit up her first two Yellow Spirit Rings, and the injuries of everyone in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Team were instantly restored.
Gu Feng and the others bowed slightly to Ye Lingling: "Thank you."
Ye Lingling simply smiled and withdrew her Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
The referee announced the results of the first match of the fifth round, and everyone was still in awe of Shui Bing'er's strength.
Even when facing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Team, Shui Bing'er only used a hundred-year Soul Skill.
Her strength is self-evident.
In the afternoon, the second match of the fifth round was between the Shrek Royal Academy Team and the Divine Fire Gate Team.
Huo Wu looked at Tai Long and the others, her eyes gleaming. She had already lost once, but she was confident that she would not lose again this time.
Even though she didn't absorb Soul Spirit, Shrek doesn't have any Soul Emperor right now. She doesn't believe that she and her brother, both Soul Emperor, combined, are not as good as Shrek now.
Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang also performed exceptionally well; in fact, the two siblings have not even used their Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ability yet.
Facing such an opponent, Tai Long, the current captain of the Shrek Royal Academy Team, inevitably feels some pressure.
If we don't count Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, the strength of the Divine Fire Gate is actually far inferior to that of Shrek. However, it is because of these two Soul Emperors that the Divine Fire Gate has the strength to compete with Shrek Academy.
On the Spirit Dueling Platform, Tai Long exchanged a glance with Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang. Five years ago, these two siblings were already main players, while he was just a substitute.
Five years have passed, and he has become a key player in Shrek, while his opponent remains a key player.
The Third Young Master and his companions were able to defeat these two siblings back then, and they can do it now too!
After the referee introduced the two teams, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang took the lead and released their Martial Soul.
A gigantic phantom of Fire Shadow appeared behind Huo Wu, her body ablaze with Lie Yan. Huo Wushuang transformed into a humanoid one-horned tyrannosaurus, also with Lie Yan rising from its body.
Six Soul Ring— Two Yellow Two Purple, and two black—rose simultaneously from their bodies, unleashing the aura of Soul Emperor.
"The Divine Fire Gate Team, Captain Huo Wu, Martial Soul: Fire Shadow, Level 62 Control System Spirit Emperor."
"The Divine Fire Gate Team, Vice Captain Huo Wushuang, Martial Soul: Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon, Level 61 Assault System Spirit Emperor."
Beside the two, Baili Pangpang's large body seemed to burn like a candle inside an oil lamp.
Originally, he was fat and stout, but after his Martial Soul Possession, his fat turned into muscles comparable to steel, and red scales covered his entire body, transforming him into a three-meter-tall fire dragon-man.
"Baili Pangpang, Martial Soul: Crimson Flame Dragon, Level 54 Assault System Attack Spirit King".
As the three main fighters released their Martial Soul, the remaining four Soul Ancestor of the Divine Fire Gate also released their Martial Soul.
In an instant, the temperature inside the entire venue soared, and the blazing red flames were so intense that no one could bear to look at them.
Shrek Royal Academy Team captain Tai Long snorted coldly, "So what if the opponent has two Soul Emperors?"
With all members of their team at the Spirit King, and all of them having obtained a Ten Thousand Year Soul Spirit for their Fifth Spirit Ring, as long as they could withstand the onslaught of Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, and eliminate those four Soul Ancestor, wouldn't the subsequent seven-on-three battle be a piece of cake? At this moment, facing the pressure from the members of the Divine Fire Gate Team, Tai Long stepped forward, and five Soul Ring —Two Yellow Two Purple, and one black—rose up. He transformed into a giant, Great Strength Gorilla, pounding his chest with both fists and letting out bursts of roars.
"Shrek Royal Academy Team, Captain: Tai Long, Martial Soul: Great Strength Gorilla, Level 55 Assault System."
With the release of his Martial Soul, a five-meter-tall silver-white giant ape appeared, standing behind Tai Long. Its movements and aura were identical, as if it were a brother to its master.
It was Tai Long's Soul Spirit, an 18,000-year-old Silverback Giant Ape.
As Tai Long released his Martial Soul, the others also released their own Martial Soul and Soul Spirit to resist the pressure from the Divine Fire Gate.
"Shrek Royal Academy Team, Vice Captain Yang Pojun, Martial Soul: Soul Breaking Spear, Level 53 Assault System."
The Soul Spirit of the Golden Armored Beetle King is 18,000 years old.
"Niu Li, Martial Soul: Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros, Level 54 Defense System."
The Soul Spirit the Taishan Mammoth, seventeen thousand years old.
"Bai Chenxiang, Martial Soul: Pointed Tail Swift, Level 53 Agile Attack System."
The Soul Spirit the Demon Extraction Bird 15,000 years.
"Jing Ling, Martial Soul: Skeleton, Level 53 Agile Attack System."
The Soul Spirit Bone Dragon, sixteen thousand years old.
"Huang Yuan, Martial Soul: Yellow Wolf, Level 52 Assault System."
The Soul Spirit of Adamantine Wolf, 15,000 years old.
"Jiang Zhu, Martial Soul: Healing Scepter, Level 51 Support System."
A 15,000-year-old Amethyst Flower Soul Spirit.
All seven people released their Martial Soul at the same time, each with the optimal Soul Ring ratio of Two Yellow Two Purple, and one black.
The moment the seven powerful Soul Spirit, each ten Ten Thousand Year Level, appeared, they directly suppressed the pressure of the Divine Fire Gate members. The seven Spirit King plus the seven ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Spirit were enough to make up for the gap between the two Soul Emperors on the other side.
Even more so, four of their opponents were Soul Ancestor. The moment their Soul Spirit appeared, the Shrek Royal Academy Team once again gained the upper hand.
However, although the Soul Spirit is powerful and can amplify the Soul Master's combat power, it consumes an enormous amount of the Soul Master's Soul Power and Spiritual Power.
In this battle, Shrek must finish quickly; otherwise, if they expend too much energy, they will collapse on their own without the opponent even needing to lift a finger.
P. S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
