Overwhelming strength
Facing the terrifying lineup of two Soul King and five Soul Ancestor from the Imperial Fighting Team, it would be impossible for the seven members of Elephant Armor Academy not to be nervous.
But this is only the first round of the competition, and in previous Soul Master Tournament, no one has ever conceded defeat in the first round of the preliminary rounds. As disciples of the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, they naturally will not break this precedent.
The seven stood in a row, lined up in a row, their First Soul Ring flashing simultaneously, and stepped out steadily, one step at a time.
Under the influence of the Soul Ring, the seven people who had transformed into elephant-headed humans gained a layer of crystal-clear color, like diamonds. With a terrifying aura that occupied half the diameter of the entire circular arena, they approached the Imperial Fighting Team. With each step they took, their aura would surge several times.
Even if other participating teams ultimately win, they will undoubtedly be at a disadvantage from the start on this narrow competition platform.
However, the Imperial Fighting Team is not included in this category.
Dugu Yan stepped forward, her eyes slightly narrowed. "No matter how strong the defense is, it cannot stop my dragon poison..." As she spoke, the first three Soul Ring on her body lit up at the same time, and she was about to release the dragon poison.
But Ye Qinghe stopped her, "Yanzi, wait a moment, I want to test the extreme power of the Evil God Tiger."
"Okay." Dugu Yan obeyed Ye Qinghe's words completely, stopped her Soul Skill, and stepped aside. Zhu Zhuqing, Yu Feng, Osler, and the Shi Brothers also stepped back, clearly having full confidence in Ye Qinghe's strength.
The onlookers seemed somewhat puzzled by this scene, but no one said anything, and all their attention was focused on Ye Qinghe.
After his Martial Soul Evolution, Ye Qinghe's Martial Soul Possession also underwent corresponding changes. The black light that originally covered his body turned into dark red, and a tail composed of bone knots appeared behind him, with a sharp barb at the very top.
It was none other than the Evil God Hook.
In addition to providing him with powerful offensive means, when released simultaneously with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's External Soul Bone, it can amplify all attributes from 80% to 90%.
Clearly, Elephant Armor Academy was not worth him using this External Soul Bone.
At the same time, Ye Qinghe's Soul Skill also changed. His original first Soul Skill, Beast King Assault, became Evil God Assault, which was imbued with Evil Energy.
While the attack power and speed of the Soul Skill attack are still increased by 50% at the moment of activation, the attack range and area of effect are increased dramatically.
"First Soul Skill: Evil God Assault."
As his First Soul Ring lit up, Ye Qinghe trailed a dark red flame behind him, and he sped towards the seven members of Elephant Armor Academy like a shooting star.
Although he didn't use the teleportation skill granted by the Nine Nether Mysterious Heaven Skill, his speed when charging forward was definitely superior to that of Soul King of the same level who was skilled in agility-based attacks.
This gave the seven members of the Elephant Armor Academy a sense of unreality, as if the surrounding space was slightly distorted. A chilling Dark Red Light, along with the eerie dark red light emanating from his body, bloomed simultaneously, creating a powerful and malevolent pressure that swept over them.
"Go all out and stop him!"
Faced with the threat posed by Ye Qinghe, the seven members of the Elephant Armor Sect dared not hold back in the slightest. With a Huyan Li Hu Yanli, the Soul Ring on all of them lit up simultaneously, instantly boosting their defense and strength to their peak.
At the same time, Huyan Li's Elephant Armor skull also activated, forming a helmet-shaped shield similar to that of a mammoth, which charged towards Ye Qinghe.
Normally, Ye Qinghe would never have retaliated against such a clumsy attack head-on; he would have simply attacked from behind. However, eager to test the power of the Evil God Tiger, he neither dodged nor evaded. The dark red aura around his body instantly converged towards his right hand, and the condensed evil light resembled a giant tiger head with fangs bared in its mouth, rushing towards Huyan Li's helmet shield.
With a deafening roar, Ye Qinghe and the seven members of Elephant Armor Academy separated instantly after a brief collision in the arena.
Ye Qinghe's forward momentum came to a halt, and he swayed in the center of the arena. The ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded, forming a spiderweb-like shallow crater.
Huyan Li's helmet-shaped shield shattered, and he and the other six members of the Elephant Armor Academy were sent flying with screams. The three Soul Ancestor, including Huyan Li, flew more than ten feet through the air before barely stabilizing themselves not far from the edge of the arena, their Blood One churning.
But the others weren't so lucky. Only the remaining four disciples with the Soul Elder cultivation level were sent flying like cannonballs in this collision, crashing off the arena.
It remained conscious, suffering only some superficial wounds that appeared serious but did not break bones, demonstrating the Diamond Mammoth's formidable defense.
Otherwise, if it were any other defensive Soul Elder, even just the aftershocks of Ye Qinghe's Evil God Assault would have been enough to severely injure and render them unconscious.
Huyan Li looked at Ye Qinghe with complicated emotions. Before the competition, his grandfather, Hu Yanzhen, the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, and the Celestial Douluo Huyan Zhen, had instructed him that if he encountered someone named Ye Qinghe, he must not harm him.
As a result, they didn't even have the right to threaten the other party, let alone cause harm.
The instant he clashed with Ye Qinghe, a chilling aura entered his body from the latter's Soul Power. His own Soul Power, however, showed signs of dissolving within this malevolent chilling aura. Suppressed and unable to unleash its full power, it was clear that this Evil God Tiger Martial Soul far exceeded his expectations.
Ye Qinghe, however, had a different experience. Although he had defeated the seven members of the Elephant Armor Academy, four of them with lower Soul Power were directly eliminated. But he also felt the formidable defense of the seven opponents. Under the influence of that Head Soul Bone, the Diamond Mammoth's defensive power was fully unleashed.
"Now I have a general idea of Evil God Tiger's power, there's no need to continue this match."
These thoughts flashed through his mind for only a moment. Just as Huyan Li and the other two regained their footing, Ye Qinghe suddenly disappeared in front of them. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Huyan Li. With a punch, the diamond-like glaze on Huyan Li shattered instantly.
By the time the other two Soul Ancestor reacted, Huyan Li's massive body had already been sent flying like a boiled shrimp.
Then Ye Qinghe kicked them one by one, and the defenses of the two Diamond Mammoth Soul Ancestor were as fragile as paper in front of him. He and Huyan Li fell off the fighting platform one after the other.
At this point, all seven members of the Elephant Armor Academy team have been eliminated.
Looking at the remaining six members of the Imperial Fighting Team on the stage, apart from Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing, who had a close relationship with Ye Qinghe and were already familiar with his strength, the others' gazes towards Ye Qinghe had already changed.
In fact, it wasn't just them; everyone else present felt the same way.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Yu Tianheng almost bit their tongues.
Tang San was on the verge of madness.
