You Still Claim to Be a Support Soul Master?

On the field.

Dugu Yan was the first to release her Martial Soul.

As the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul possessed her, her legs transformed into a serpent's tail. Her body swayed as she moved, the emerald scales gleaming with a cold light beneath the lamps.

She charged straight at Yu Tianheng. At the same time, Yu Cheng's Soul Rings lit up, and specks of red light flew from the Blue Silver Grass.

"You actually dared to confront us head-on?"

Yu Tianheng's gaze sharpened as his third Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

Violent blue lightning erupted around him, accompanied by the faint sound of a dragon's roar.

Third Soul Skill, Wrath of Thunder.

This was a self-amplification skill. Once activated, it put its user into a berserk state.

The power of lightning increased by one hundred percent, while Soul Power increased by fifty percent! As long as his Soul Power was not exhausted, this frenzied state would continue indefinitely.

In a direct assault, he feared no one!

"Yufeng, Osler, follow the plan. Take out Yu Cheng and Ye Lingling!"

Yu Tianheng gave the order in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Yufeng and Osler answered at the same time.

A pair of cyan wings unfurled behind Yufeng. His second Soul Ring lit up, and his body became a streak of cyan light as he lunged straight for Ye Lingling at the rear!

Osler, meanwhile, let out a low growl. The Black Panther Martial Soul possessed him, and he leaned slightly forward. The next second, he left behind a black afterimage, his target unmistakably Yu Cheng!

In a team battle, take out the support first—this was the rule of Agility Attack Type Soul Masters.

"Heh."

Osler could not help but curl his lips into a smile.

Under normal circumstances, Dugu Yan would have to fall back and defend. Otherwise, with two teammates being cut off, she would immediately be surrounded.

But the moment she turned around, Yu Tianheng's Soul Skill would crash down on her.

However...

At the exact moment the two of them moved, Dugu Yan moved as well.

She did not intercept Yufeng or Osler. Instead, she charged directly toward Yu Tianheng!

Several tiny points of light shot toward her from behind, accurately sinking into her body.

Yu Cheng's First Soul Skill, Frenzied Seed, activated!

"This power!"

Dugu Yan closed her eyes in bliss.

She had been supported by a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master before. This was exactly the feeling!

It was incredible!

It was no illusion—her Soul Power, speed, strength, and presence all surged explosively in an instant!

The next moment, her body abruptly accelerated! An eerie green glow flickered within her snake-like pupils.

"Third Soul Skill, Petrification!"

Two beams of green light shot from Dugu Yan's eyes. They were not energy rays, but an invisible force field that instantly enveloped Yu Tianheng!

A layer of stone formed over Yu Tianheng's body, freezing his charging motion.

Even the lightning around him solidified in midair, turning a grayish white!

Petrification control!

It also came with a defense-weakening effect!

"Second Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorous Blue Poison!"

Dark blue poisonous mist spewed from her mouth, accurately shrouding the petrified Yu Tianheng.

In an instant, Yu Tianheng felt the circulation of his Soul Power slow down. He could no longer even maintain the frenzied amplification of his Third Soul Skill!

"Bang—!!"

Dugu Yan's fist slammed into Yu Tianheng's chest.

Blue lightning exploded as Yu Tianheng was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground.

He dropped to one knee, clutching his chest as he coughed violently.

Clearly, having an Amplification Soul Skill forcibly broken was not a pleasant feeling.

"Boss!"

Yufeng's expression changed drastically.

He forcibly twisted around, his blue wings beating hard as he turned and charged at Dugu Yan.

"Boss, are you okay?"

Yufeng shouted anxiously.

"Cough, cough... Do I look okay to you?"

Yu Tianheng's voice was hoarse.

During their last exchange, he had not known the exact effects of Dugu Yan's Third Soul Skill. Caught off guard by the petrification control, he had taken a severe beating.

This time, he had activated Wrath of Thunder right away, intending to use the berserk power of lightning to resist the control head-on.

But he had never expected Dugu Yan's Soul Skill to have grown stronger!

It was not merely stronger—it had undergone a qualitative transformation!

Originally, petrification could only briefly restrict his movements. Yet in that instant just now, even his thoughts had nearly come to a standstill!

The Soul Power-weakenening effect of Jade Phosphorous Blue Poison had also far exceeded his expectations, forcibly shattering Wrath of Thunder!

Yu Tianheng suddenly raised his head, his gaze passing over Dugu Yan as he stared fixedly at Yu Cheng.

What a powerful support skill!

The enhancement from merely the First Soul Skill had caused earth-shaking changes to Dugu Yan's control and poison attacks!

"Let's work together to stop Dugu Yan!"

Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth and got to his feet, shouting, "Osler, leave that side to you! Finish it quickly!"

"Understood!"

Osler answered.

He walked up to Ye Lingling and gave a slight, deliberately gentlemanly bow. "Lingling, are you getting off on your own, or should I help you?"

Ye Lingling did not even look at him. She merely calmly raised her hand, and the phantom image of a pinkish-white begonia flower appeared in her palm.

A gentle beam of light shot from the flower's core, crossing half the arena before landing precisely on Dugu Yan.

"Lingling, the captain hasn't even been injured yet. Why are you already healing her?"

Osler laughed.

Yu Cheng stepped forward and stood in front of Ye Lingling.

Looking at Osler, the corner of his mouth curved slightly. "Buddy, it seems you haven't taken me seriously."

Osler froze for a moment, then shrugged.

"Master Yu Cheng, I admit that your theories are excellent, and your discovery of Whale Rubber has greatly helped the Soul Master world. But..."

His tone shifted as his gaze fell upon the lone yellow Soul Ring around Yu Cheng.

"The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul has almost zero combat power, doesn't it?"

He spread his hands, his tone carrying a trace of helplessness. "Honestly, I don't understand why the captain had you compete, but since you're standing on the arena..."

Osler's gaze suddenly sharpened. "Excuse me!"

He did not use a Soul Skill. He simply lunged forward and swung his claws!

He intended to use the most Soul Power-efficient method to "invite" this one-ring theoretical master off the arena.

Then, he saw Yu Cheng move.

He did not retreat or block. Instead, he turned sideways, stepped in, and raised his leg!

The movement was so simple, as though he had practiced it thousands upon thousands of times.

Had Osler not possessed the Black Panther Martial Soul and powerful dynamic vision, he might not have been able to see the entire sequence of movements clearly.

Bang!!

Osler only felt a terrifying force strike his abdomen, sending his entire body flying backward out of control!

He barely adjusted his balance in midair. When he landed, he staggered several steps before managing to steady himself.

Yu Cheng withdrew his leg and brushed at the nonexistent dust on his trouser leg.

"Besides theoretical research, I know a little martial arts as well."

The entire venue fell silent.

Inside the VIP room, the smile on Bai Baoshan's chubby face froze.

Meng Shenji's fingers, which had been rolling his prayer beads, also paused for a moment.

A one-ring Blue Silver Grass Soul Master had actually knocked back an Agility Attack Type Soul Grandmaster?

The Committee Members exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

They might have found a treasure!

On the arena.

Osler clutched his stomach, feeling the burning pain there, his mind struggling to process what had just happened.

"Just now, I was kicked flying by a one-ring Blue Silver Grass Soul Master?"

"I didn't even have time to fight back!"

"An illusion! I definitely didn't sleep well last night!"

Osler muttered to himself, vigorously shaking his head.

"Hmph, I'm getting serious now!"

He let out a low growl as his First Soul Ring lit up.

His speed instantly surged by thirty percent, and his body turned into a hard-to-track black shadow as he pounced at Yu Cheng again!

"Good."

Yu Cheng's gaze sharpened.

Enhanced by his soul skill, Osler's speed far surpassed what it had been before.

But it was not without a trace to follow.

Having absorbed the Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng's energy, Yu Cheng's spiritual power had already far exceeded that of Soul Masters at the same level.

Coupled with the enhancement of his First Soul Skill.

At that moment, Osler's swift, wind-like figure seemed to move in slow motion several times slower in his eyes.

He sidestepped and raised a hand.

Catch and Neutralize!

Smack!

Yu Cheng's palm accurately struck Osler's hand, knocking his attack off course.

At the same time, he twisted at the waist, and his other leg lashed out like a whip!

Turning Back Kick!

Bang—!!

This dull impact was even heavier.

Osler felt as if his chin had been struck by an iron hammer. His entire body tipped backward uncontrollably, and he was sent flying once more!

"Ugh..."

He rolled halfway through the air before crashing heavily onto the arena floor, letting out a pained groan.

"Osler! Stop playing around!"

Yu Tianheng's furious shout came from the other side of the arena.

His situation was terrible at the moment.

Having been hit by Jade Phosphorous Blue Poison, his Soul Power circulated sluggishly, while the poison continually weakened his lightning power.

Although Yufeng was desperately keeping them occupied, he could only launch a few harassing attacks.

Now, with Yu Cheng's support, Dugu Yan's toxic mist covered nearly half the arena, forcing the two of them back step by step.

"Ugh..."

Osler clutched his swollen chin, tears nearly spilling from his eyes.

I want to finish this too, Boss!

But something's wrong here!

He stared fixedly at Yu Cheng. That reaction speed, the force of that kick...

And you still call yourself a Support System Soul Master!
