Living Bomb

During their initial special training, the Grandmaster asked Dai Mubai to use his Soul Power to carve patterns on Tofu.

The purpose of this requirement is primarily to train Dai Mubai's ability to control Wind Attribute energy.

Whether it's attaching Wind Attribute energy to oneself for enhancement or releasing it all at once, these methods of utilization are somewhat primitive.

Just like how ancient apes used stones to smash things, this clearly didn't make full use of the stones.

If this stone could be processed into a spearhead and then tied with a wooden stick to become a stone spear, then hunting efficiency would certainly be improved.

This is the stage of ape-men.

Therefore, the Grandmaster tailored a special training program for Dai Mubai, hoping to help him further improve his control over his own power.

Dai Mubai did not disappoint his Grandmaster's expectations. He successfully learned how to better use the wind from this special training, allowing him to advance from the "ancient ape" stage to the "ape-man" stage.

What he is demonstrating now is one of the Self-Created Soul Skill he has mastered.

Wind Barrier is created by confining Wind Attribute energy to manipulate the surrounding airflow, and then causing the airflow to Flow at high speed in a specific direction.

Since Wind Attribute energy is only a catalyst in this process, Dai Mubai's consumption is not significant, but the effect achieved is quite good.

The Wind Barrier can deflect objects significantly, or even block their flight paths entirely, including Poison Mist, flames, and cold air.

Moreover, there is room for this move to be further improved. Chen Feng suggested that Dai Mubai wait until his Soul Power grows to a certain level and his control over his Soul Power is sufficient before turning the Wind Barrier, which only blocks one side, into an all-around barrier.

At that time, the Wind Barrier will transform into a hemispherical barrier.

If this barrier can be rotated at high speed in a suitable manner, there is a chance to return the attacks launched from the outside directly.

Then the Wind Barrier will transform into the Eight Trigrams Palms: Heavenly Spin.

Dai Mubai agreed with the suggestion and intended to work towards it.

But that's a story for later.

At this point, the Wind Barrier was enough to solve the problem. The shattered keratin layers that Hu Yanli shot over were all blown to other places and could not cause any harm to Chen Feng and the others.

"Hey! This is so uncivilized! You're actually throwing dead skin off your bodies at people?" Ma Hongjun said smugly when he saw that his opponent's move had been broken.

If you really look into it, those stratum corneum layers are indeed not much different from dead skin.

"Hmph! You guys do have some skill." Hu Yanli sneered.

He kept this technique hidden, which he named Mammoth Armor Break. It was Self-Created Soul Skill that he comprehended by chance after obtaining the Foundation Ring.

Since the Elephant Armor Academy has virtually no anti-air capabilities, Hu Yanli planned to hide this move as a backup plan after he mastered it.

To this end, he deliberately revealed all his Soul Ring in the previous match, including his Fourth Soul Skill, which he considered his trump card.

It's an absorption-type Soul Skill, but as long as he doesn't make contact with his teammates, even if the Fourth Soul Ring lights up, the Soul Skill won't take effect.

Now that Hu Yanli Lizang's move had forced out his opponent's Self-Created Soul Skill, he felt it wasn't a loss.

After all, he was the only one in his team who had mastered Self-Created Soul Skill. Hu Yanli thought that the other side should be about the same. In this way, both sides' Self-Created Soul Skill would be used up. However, he still had a trick up his sleeve.

Without a doubt, the advantage lies with him!

At that moment, Tang San beckoned to the ground below, and thick, tough Blue Silver Grass sprouted from the ground.

When he used Blue Silver Grass to bind his teammates, he left some seeds on the ground. Now these seeds have begun to grow and differentiate rapidly, and soon the Elephant Armor Academy members were surrounded.

"That's all?" Hu Yanli stomped his foot dismissively, shattering all the Blue Silver Grass around him.

"What a feeble tactic."

Even if left unattended, these Blue Silver Grass cannot harm him at all.

Tang San's lips curled up slightly. He didn't argue, but simply let the Blue Silver Grass grow and spread rapidly. Before long, the Tournament Stage was transformed into a world of plants.

"Hongjun, set it on fire!"

"Just watch!" Ma Hongjun first adjusted his position to prevent his teammates from being injured by his flames.

Then he took a deep breath and exhaled it all at once, pointing diagonally downwards.

During this process, Ma Hongjun's Fourth Soul Skill silently lit up.

Whoosh! A giant ball of flame spewed from Ma Hongjun's mouth, engulfing a large green area below. The seven members of the Elephant Armor Academy were inevitably ignited by the flames, and their keratinous skin sizzled.

Moreover, an invisible pale yellow halo appeared beneath their feet. This halo wasn't very large and didn't seem threatening at all.

"Cough cough! Damn it, it's so hot! And I can't see anything!" someone from the Elephant Armor Academy shouted.

"Don't panic! All of you move closer to me!" Hu Yanli shouted.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun's face lit up with an excited smile.

"Yes, gather them all together, and then I can show you the power of my Fourth Soul Skill."

The Tournament Stage was already filled with smoke and fire. The few people from the Elephant Armor Academy, like headless flies, instinctively gathered around following Hu Yanli's voice.

However, distracted by the flames, they failed to notice that the pale yellow aura beneath their feet was gradually turning redder as other auras approached.

When the students from the Elephant Armor Academy got close enough to each other, the circles of light beneath their feet had turned completely red.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions rang out one after another, and several bursts of fire erupted between the Elephant Armor Academy members, tearing their skin and flesh to shreds.

Although the surrounding Blue Silver Grass was also cleared out by the explosion, new Blue Silver Grass quickly replenished it, continuing to draw the flames and smoke towards the Elephant Armor Academy members.

Under such torment, the three members of the Elephant Armor Academy with slightly weaker cultivation levels quickly succumbed and fainted.

"Hahaha, this is my Fourth Soul Skill, Living Bomb. How does it feel?" Ma Hongjun laughed triumphantly from the sky.

He was the third person in the team to reach the Soul Ancestor Realm. At that time Gu Yue Ling had already successfully obtained the fourth ring at the Ten-Thousand-Year level by using the Ring Expansion Method.

However, when Ma Hongjun also tried to get a Ten-Thousand-Year Fourth Ring, he unfortunately failed.

Because the energy of that Soul Ring was too explosive, he couldn't withstand it and almost lost his life.

If it were a regular Fire Attribute Soul Ring, Ma Hongjun might have had a chance. However, the Soul Ring he obtained had an explosive type of Soul Skill, and given the combination of these two factors, his failure is understandable.

However, although Ma Hongjun's Fourth Soul Ring was not at the Ten-Thousand-Year level, the effect of the Soul Skill within it was quite excellent.

This Soul Skill, which he calls Living Bomb, allows him to apply a Lie Yan Mark —a pale yellow aura—to targets burned by the fire when he sets it on fire.

When different targets bearing the Lie Yan Mark approach each other, their Lie Yan Mark are Activate, triggering a powerful explosion.

The more targets are gathered together, the stronger the explosion will be. The seven people from the Elephant Armor Academy were gathered together just now, so the explosive power of the explosion should not be underestimated.

Even though these seven people were all tough and thick-skinned, they were still blown apart and screamed in agony.

In the rest area where Blazing Fire Academy was located, Huo Wu couldn't help but gleam with excitement as she watched the scene on the stage.

She tugged at Huo Wushuang's arm, "Brother, I want to get a Soul Skill like that too!"

"Alright, alright, let's go ask them together after their match," Huo Wushuang said indulgently.

On the Tournament Stage, Chen Feng looked at the several Burly Man were already engulfed in flames and said:

"Let's go down; there's no need for air combat anymore."

In this situation, Hu Yanli will definitely have to use Berserk Fusion. At this point, ground combat will actually be more advantageous for Chen Feng because they will be able to maneuver more flexibly.

"Okay." Tang San waved to Ma Hongjun, Ma Hongjun then began to descend.

Meanwhile, Tang San continued to spread the Blue Silver Grass over the Elephant Armor Academy members, attempting to use fire to eliminate the remaining four opponents.

Just then, a huge figure suddenly broke through the flames and stood up.

It was a giant over ten meters tall, whose face still vaguely resembled Hu Yanli's, but his features had become much more ferocious, and he was covered in armor made of rocks.

Its appearance signifies that Hu Yanli has entered the second stage.

"Descent immediately!" Chen Feng shouted.

Tang San quickly realized that although he didn't know how his opponent had created such a large creature, it was clearly a target while flying in the Airborne.

So he untied the Blue Silver Grass from his companions, allowing them to fall at a faster speed.

"It's actually an absorption-type Soul Skill, truly remarkable." From the stands, Flender's expression turned serious.

"Moreover, Hu Yanli absorbed three Soul Ancestor, so this giant is probably level 70. This is going to be difficult." Zhao Wuji, who was standing to the side, also became worried.

"Could it be even stronger than Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Liu Erlong couldn't help but ask.

Flender shook his head. "It's not that bad. It's just a Soul Ring Skill. It won't have the power of Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but it's still quite terrifying, especially in team battles between Soul Master. It's definitely a winning Killing Move."

The Grandmaster spoke:

"Generally speaking, this type of absorption Soul Skill has its limit when absorbing two people, because such absorption requires controlling not only the companion's body and Soul Power, but also their mind, which places a considerable burden on them."

"But this guy absorbed three people." Zhao Wuji's expression grew increasingly grim.

"This state is definitely not going to be stable. If we can disrupt this giant, we might be able to break the deadlock." The Grandmaster's gaze fell on his student.

The next step is to see if the children can grasp this key point.

"Hey! You big oaf, look here!" Bai Chenxiang deliberately flew around in front of the giant.

She was indeed taken aback when the giant first appeared, but she quickly recovered and began to try to provoke him.

She needed to buy time for her companions so they could land safely.

At this moment, Hu Yanli had to control the bodies, Soul Power, and spirit of his three teammates, leaving no room for thinking about anything too complicated. Besides, his brain was only so-so to begin with, and his previous hidden moves were already an overachievement.

So when Bai Chenxiang deliberately ran up to him, Hu Yanli instinctively attacked her.

"You annoying little bug!" Hu Yanli slapped Bai Chenxiang across the face.

"Can't hit me, can't hit me, hee hee hee~" Bai Chenxiang dodged the attack with her speed, then flew to Hu Yanli's face again, even making a face.

She wouldn't normally act like this, but the situation was urgent, and she had no choice but to do everything in her power to attract the giant's attention.

It was precisely because of the brief delay she made that everyone else was able to land safely.

"Well done, Xiangxiang!" Tang San praised sincerely.

He glanced at the giant ahead, picked up a large piece of rock from the ground, and hurled it at a spot on the giant's body.

Thud! The gravel struck a spot on the giant's arm with Hu Yanli accuracy, momentarily halting Bai Chenxiang.

It worked, but stones alone were clearly not enough. Tang San looked at the Bai Chenxiang in the sky and suddenly had an idea.

He reached out his hand to the giant, and countless Blue Silver Grass sprouted and surged towards the giant's body.

But after the giant struggled slightly, the Blue Silver Grass broke apart.

"Is this all you've got? Is this all you're capable of?" The giant let out a disdainful sneer and raised his hand toward Tang San.

"Don't rush, it's not over yet." Tang San's lips curled up slightly, and the broken Blue Silver Grass on the giant's body began to grow again, but this time they did not bind the giant's limbs, but instead formed nodes on the giant's body.

"Everyone, break through these nodes!" Tang San shouted.

Upon hearing this, Bai Chenxiang in the sky immediately flung out several Feather of Wind.

The feathers struck the nodes precisely, but what happened next made Tang San frown.

Because Bai Chenxiang's feathers only pierced the nodes formed by the Blue Silver Grass, but did not penetrate deep enough or shatter those nodes, it meant that Bai Chenxiang's attack power was insufficient to have any effect.

To achieve the effect of acupressure, the most basic requirement is to be able to break the nodes that Tang San set on the giant's body.

Tang San originally thought that Bai Chenxiang could handle most of the task by herself, but now that this situation has occurred, they can only rely on others.

Just then, Chen Feng, who was beside Tang San, raised his sword.

The next second, the sword turned as white as jade, and as Chen Feng pointed the sword at Bai Chenxiang, a Yellow Soul Ring on his body flew over as well.

Bai Chenxiang, who was feeling somewhat dejected, suddenly brightened up. She couldn't wait to use her new Soul Ring, and several Golden Light feathers flew out of her hand once again.

Snap! The Blue Silver Grass node shattered instantly.
