As the match between Chen Feng and his team and Skywater Academy began, two Burly Man sat side by side in a certain spot in the stands.

To the left and right of the Burly Man men were a stern-faced middle-aged man and a white-haired man, respectively.

These four people were the leaders of the Four Clans: Tai Tan, Niu Gao, Yang Wudi, and Bai He.

At this moment, Bai He was pointing at Bai Chenxiang on the stage, showing off with a big smile:

"See that? That's my granddaughter."

The other three rolled their eyes in unison, without making any further reaction.

Bai He didn't care about this, and he sighed and said:

"Our Speed Clan gets stuck in a cultivation level when absorbing attack Soul Ring. Fortunately, someone came up with a solution, and now Xiangxiang can participate in the Spirit Master Tournament with the team. The Speed Clan finally has a future."

Yang Wudi spoke:

"You've finally reaped the rewards of your hard work. I heard that Xiangxiang did quite well in this Spirit Master Tournament."

Niu Gao scratched his head and sighed:

"It's a pity my grandson is a bit too old, otherwise..."

"Being small won't help; you still need to have enough talent," Tai Tan said, shaking his head.

His grandson Tailong, was already quite talented, but he still failed to be selected because the gap between him and the children on stage was simply too large.

Bai He glanced at the group from the Skywater Academy and said:

"Xiangxiang's talent is only barely enough to keep them from being a burden. As their opponents get stronger, Xiangxiang's chances of appearing will gradually decrease. Luckily, I made it in time this time."

He had been helping Yang Wudi with the relocation, and was also in charge of liaising between the sect and Yang Wudi.

When the Spirit Master Tournament started, Ning Fengzhi asked Bai He to come and watch the competition to see his granddaughter's performance on the field. However, Bai He was almost finished with his work and wanted to take care of it before coming over.

Moreover, he felt that Bai Chenxiang was still young, and her appearance would probably just be to make up the numbers, and she wouldn't have any particularly outstanding performances.

Even now that he's in the audience, Bai He still has this thought in his mind.

While the four were chatting off the field, the match began.

As soon as Shui Bing'er moved, the others from the Skywater Academy followed suit.

As the Soul Ring flashed alternately, the arena began to fill with a chilling atmosphere, and even fine ice crystals appeared out of thin air, falling to the ground with a crackling sound.

Despite the cold wave hitting Skywater Academy, Chen Feng remained calm and composed.

He directly activated the Yang Sword form of his Martial Soul.

The next moment, his second, third, and fourth Soul Ring flew to Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and Dai Mubai respectively.

Before flying away, the Fourth Soul Ring lit up briefly, and Chen Feng's eyes turned blue.

Yes, after his Mental Power was enhanced, Chen Feng's improvement wasn't limited to his Purple Demon Eye.

He also became more comfortable using the Yang Sword, no longer needing to point the sword at each target individually to lend the Soul Ring to them.

But that's not all.

At this moment, Chen Feng, who only had one Soul Ring ring left, raised his sword and pointed it at Shui Bing'er opposite him. Borrowing Soul Ring no longer required pointing the sword at the target, and Chen Feng naturally did not intend to lend his Soul Ring to his opponent.

He did this because he had recently discovered a new ability of the Yang Sword.

Before Shui Bing'er could react after being pointed at by the sword, she felt her second, third, and fourth Soul Ring slip out of her control.

She looked at her Soul Ring in shock, only to find that the three Soul Ring in the middle had all dimmed and no longer emitted any light.

Although the connection with her was still there, Shui Bing'er was unable to unleash the Soul Skill within those three Soul Ring.

"What kind of ability is this? Why can't I use my Soul Skill?" Shui Bing'er was caught off guard.

"I haven't decided on a name yet, but that's not important. You should think about how to break this deadlock," Chen Feng said with a smile.

This is the new ability of his Yang Sword: when his own Soul Ring slot becomes available because he is supporting his teammates, he can temporarily seal the Soul Ring in the corresponding position of the opponent.

However, the duration of the seal does not depend on Chen Feng's Soul Power, but rather on his Mental Power.

Since the two special forms of the Tai Chi Bagua Sword awakened, the Yin Sword consumes spirit, and the Yang Sword consumes Soul Power. The two are clearly distinct and do not interfere with each other. Chen Feng did not think there was anything wrong with this before.

He also thought that this was a characteristic of the Yin Yang Twin Swords, and that the resources consumed should be completely different.

However, Chen Feng overlooked one issue: the Yin Sword actually originated from the Bloodline within his body, while the Yang Sword originated from Chen Feng's spiritual consciousness.

Their respective characteristics also reveal that, although the Yang Sword is not so sharp and aggressive, it is steady and leaves no flaws, highlighting its reliability, which is a reflection of Chen Feng's inner self.

The Yin Sword, on the other hand, is extremely powerful and malevolent. It is not entirely unrelated to the Soul Devouring Demon Sword of the Chen Clan lineage; rather, they are identical, clearly stemming from Bloodline Inheritance.

However, the resources they consumed were completely reversed, which is clearly unreasonable.

However, since something illogical has happened, it means that there is some kind of internal cause involved. Chen Feng had not realized this before, until Yang Sword developed a new ability, and this new ability was driven by Mental Power. Only then did he begin to realize this and figure out what this internal cause was.

It is the principle that when things reach their extreme, they will reverse; when things reach their extreme, they will reverse.

Yin and Yang are mutually restraining, but they can also transform into each other. They seem to be mutually opposed and each go their own way, but in reality, they are intertwined.

The new ability of the Yang Sword is a sealing ability, and the Cycle of Rebirth is also a sealing ability, which explains the problem to some extent.

In other words, the Yin Sword and Yang Sword may seem to be just two special forms of Martial Soul, but in reality they should have four special abilities, and there are certain connections between them.

However, the Cycle of Rebirth and the Dustless Land are basic abilities that can be used after awakening a special form, while the other two abilities require certain conditions to appear.

Looking at Chen Feng's changes over this period, we can infer that the condition is that Chen Feng's spiritual consciousness, or his pure self, needs to become strong enough. In other words, the Yang Sword needs to be strengthened to a certain extent in order to truly achieve the state of Yin-Yang balance and mutual generation and restraint.

Otherwise, if the Yin Sword continues to grow stronger, but Chen Feng's ego does not grow, or grows too slowly, and his spirit is constantly being eroded and consumed by the Yin Sword, the final result will be a complete imbalance of Yin and Yang.

At that point, the sword will control the person, instead of the person controlling the sword.

From this perspective, Chen Feng's chosen path is quite correct. Shi Nian, as a soul purifier, Chen Feng can accelerate the speed of spiritual growth without being tainted by the impurities in other people's souls, thus preventing himself from becoming weaker due to falling into chaos and madness.

To put it bluntly, the benefits go to the Chen Feng, Shi Nian.

This approach is certainly unethical, but Chen Feng clearly won't be polite to Shi Nian.

Now, thanks to Shi Nian's gift, Chen Feng directly sealed Shui Bing'er's three Soul Ring with the Yang Sword, catching her completely off guard.

This is not part of the contingency plan that Chen Feng and Tang San made together before, regarding dealing with Martial Soul Fusion Skill, because it is a new ability they recently acquired.

The reason Chen Feng added this step was because Shui Bing'er had broken through to the Spirit King, and an unknown Ten Thousand Year Spirit Skill could potentially turn the tide of the battle.

Therefore, before starting his plan, Chen Feng wanted to force out Shui Bing'er's Ten Thousand Year Spirit Skill.

Come on, let me see what good stuff you've hidden!

However, to Chen Feng's surprise, Shui Bing'er had no intention of using her Ten Thousand Year Spirit Skill. Instead, she kept attacking him by hurling sharp ice shards at him.

After a brief period of panic, the other Skywater Academy contestants quickly regained their composure and continued to transform the arena environment into Frozen Wasteland while battling the Nine-Headed Serpent.

Chen Feng frowned slightly as he looked at the increasingly thick ice and snow around him, and called out:

Let's begin!

Shui Bing'er didn't use her Ten Thousand Year Spirit Skill, most likely because the timing wasn't right. So Chen Feng moved directly to the next step, simply not giving her the chance to use her Ten Thousand Year Spirit Skill.

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, everyone from the Skywater Academy became alert, but no matter how alert they were, they couldn't possibly stop the speed of lightning.

As soon as Meng Yiran obtained Chen Feng's Third Soul Ring, her body crackled with electricity, and in an instant, she arrived behind the group from the Skywater Academy.

After landing, Meng Yiran raised the Serpent Cane in her hand, and her deep purple Fourth Soul Ring lit up, with a red halo spreading outwards from her center.

"Repulsion Halo?" Shui Bing'er directed her teammates to surround and attack Meng Yiran, who had broken in. She didn't want the opponent's tactics to succeed, so she had to quickly eliminate this sharp Sharp Blade of the opponent.

She felt that even if Meng Yiran had Soul Skill like Repulsion Halo, she couldn't withstand her teammates' attacks for long, thus depriving the opponent's tactics of their foothold.

However, Shui Bing'er did not expect that the moment Meng Yiran rushed into the encirclement of the Skywater Academy, Chen Feng's tactics had already succeeded.

Contrary to Shui Bing'er's expectations, Meng Yiran was not a tactical pivot, but rather a complete suicide bomber.

"Frenzy!"

As the red halo swept over the group from the Skywater Academy, their eyes turned an ominous red, and their pretty faces became distorted and ferocious.

The chaotic aura not only affected the girls of the Skywater Academy, but also swept over Dai Mubai's body because he was at the very front.

However, he still had Chen Feng's Fourth Soul Ring on him, and under the effect of Ice Heart's Soul Skill, the Frenzied Aura had no effect on Dai Mubai.

Similarly, Chen Feng remained conscious because he had used the Ice Heart Soul Skill at the beginning of the battle.

Meng Yiran, as the user of the Mass Frenzy, was not affected by the frenzy effect. Although Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang were also within the aura's range, they were not affected by the aura because they were flying high enough.

Ma Hongjun was bombarding Skywater Academy with attacks, while Bai Chenxiang kept shooting Feather of Wind at her opponent, seemingly unconcerned about accuracy, as if she was just throwing them around randomly.

As for Tang San, he was positioned at the rear of the formation, outside the range of the aura.

Therefore, only the Nine-Headed Serpent Team were affected by the Mass Frenzy Soul Skill.

"Meow!!!" A sharp cat meow rang out.

A figure suddenly leaped out from the shadows behind Shui Yue'er, who was originally teasing Dai Mubai but had lost her mind due to the Mass Frenzy.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing, like everyone else from the Skywater Academy, had bloodshot eyes and a ferocious expression, showing none of her usual composure.

She raised her ten sharp fingernails and mercilessly plunged them into Shui Yue'er's back.

"Ah!!!" Shui Yue'er screamed in agony. The frenzy effect was relieved by the intense pain, and she regained her senses.

But it was too late. Although Dai Mubai couldn't bring himself to hate the girl who liked him, he hardened his heart, knocked her unconscious, grabbed her by the collar with one hand and her thigh with the other, and carried Shui Yue'er to the edge of the Tournament Stage before throwing her off.

The waiting medical Soul Master rushed forward and began to treat Shui Yue'er.

Dai Mubai had no time to pay attention to Shui Yue'er's gaze, which held a mixture of shock, sadness, and resentment, because he was being attacked by his teammates.

The effect of Frenzy is to make a person lose their mind and become unable to distinguish friend from foe, and to attack any living thing they can see.

Zhu Zhuqing's first target was Shui Yue'er, but after Shui Yue'er was defeated, her first target naturally shifted to Dai Mubai.

But then Tang San made his move. He wove a thick plant wall with Blue Silver Grass, isolating Zhu Zhuqing inside.

This way, Zhu Zhuqing won't be harmed, nor will she interfere with her teammates. Furthermore, when needed, a specific side of the plant wall can be selectively opened, allowing Zhu Zhuqing to focus her attention on the Skywater Academy players.

This was the plan that Chen Feng and Tang San initially discussed when they were working together to prepare for dealing with the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

No matter how much preparation is done, it's impossible to guarantee that everyone in the team will be unaffected by the Mass Frenzy, because someone must engage in close combat with the opponent to divert their attention.

Therefore, this method was devised to prevent teammates from causing trouble after going berserk.

Of course, this maneuver probably won't be needed in this match, because the frenzy period won't last long and will be over soon.

Having escaped, Dai Mubai rejoined the battlefield, this time targeting Shui Bing'er.

In the Original Work, Skywater Academy's trump card was its Martial Soul Fusion Skill. However, here they have an additional trump card: Shui Bing'er's Ten Thousand Year Spirit Skill.

Shui Yue'er has already been dealt with, and Xue Wu is not from the Skywater Academy, which means that the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their trump card, is ineffective.

Therefore, what Chen Feng and the others need to deal with now is Shui Bing'er's Ten Thousand Year Spirit Skill, as well as the other contestants from Skywater.

When Shui Bing'er recovered from her frenzied state, she found that her younger sister had already left the arena. Fortunately, her other teammates were still there, and they still had a chance to fight back.

But just as she was thinking this, she heard a delicate shout:

"Feathers Filling the Sky!"
