Finals Underway
"Ma Rulong!"
Xiao Hongchen was busy dealing with Dai Yueheng's attack and had no time to come back to help.
He was just directly replaced by Xu Sanshi using the Mystic Underworld Displacement and placed in the very center of Shrek. When Soul Engineer is approached by a traditional Soul Master, he will be at a complete disadvantage if he does not have a high-level close-range Soul Tool.
Xiao Hongchen is a ranged Soul Engineer, and he doesn't have any close-range Soul Tool. If he hadn't triggered the Wall of Tenacity in time, he might have been slapped away by Dai Yueheng, who had amplified his Soul Skill.
Although he wasn't knocked away, Xiao Hongchen still left obvious trails on the arena. The golden light on his chest remained bright. Because the shape of the Wall of Tenacity was too similar to the Invincible Barrier, everyone from Shrek was waiting for the shield on Xiao Hongchen's body to disappear.
With the Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul Possession, Xiao Hongchen grew another leg from his buttocks. Five Soul Ring, two yellow, two purple, and one black, surrounded him. With a wave of his hands, Xiao Hongchen threw out at least a hundred metal balls, which floated in mid-air around him under his control.
With these metal spheres as the core, one after another, massive metal cannons were formed, and finally, a total of one hundred and twenty-two soul-guided cannons armed Xiao Hongchen like a hedgehog.
Powerful fluctuations of Soul Power emanated from these cannons and spread outwards. Ling Luochеn waved his ice staff, and one after another, huge ice prisons appeared, imprisoning Xiao Hongchen.
Dai Yueheng quickly closed in; if Xiao Hongchen successfully activated the soul-guided cannon, Shrek Academy would be in serious trouble.
"Let Shrek students see the power of Soul Tool!"
One hundred and twenty-eight soul-guided cannons were activated, their Soul Tool Ray sweeping across the battlefield. With such a large number of cannons, the accuracy of the cannons became less important.
The ice prison couldn't withstand the power of the Soul Cannon and was instantly blasted to pieces.
"Invincible Golden Body!"
Jiang Nannan instantly teleported and activated her Invincible Golden Body, using her body to block the Soul Tool Ray at a position extremely close to Xiao Hongchen's cannon muzzle.
Xiao Hongchen was stunned. He hadn't expected the Shrek members to be so crazy, actually using their own bodies to take the Soul Cannon head-on!
"Nannan!"
Seeing this, Xu Sanshi didn't care whether Jiang Nannan had used her Invincible Golden Body or not; as long as Jiang Nannan wasn't in any danger, he wouldn't allow her to be in any way.
Xu Sanshi's eyes turned blood red, the Soul Power around him became incredibly viscous, and the Mystic Underworld Tortoise Shell Shield in his hand shone brightly, as if it had come to life.
Black Tortoise Awakening!
The Mystic Underworld Displacement was activated, and Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan switched positions. Xu Sanshi used his Black Tortoise Shield to block Xiao Hongchen's Soul Cannon in place of Jiang Nannan.
"Mystic Underworld Shock, Mysterious Underworld Shield Formation, Mysterious Underworld Power!"
The three Soul Ring combined to form a jet-black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. Xu Sanshi's Black Tortoise Shield expanded to more than three meters and was deeply embedded in the arena, completely blocking Xiao Hongchen's Soul Cannon.
"Bei Bei! Chen Yuan! How long are you two going to keep slacking off?!"
Xu Sanshi's Black Tortoise Awakening extremely unstable; not only can he not use it consistently, but even when he does use it, it only has the power of a single strike.
He hadn't thought much of it when he saw Jiang Nannan use her body to block the Soul Cannon, but now he was starting to feel the strain.
He looked so dashing just now, and now he's begging for help, looking utterly pathetic.
While fighting a Soul Engineer, Bei Bei heard Xu Sanshi's cry for help and immediately activated the Bright Sacred Dragon Bloodline within her, hoping to defeat her opponent more quickly and support Xu Sanshi.
Trapped within the Invincible Barrier, Chen Yuan had already gathered power in his fist at his waist and abdomen, and immediately unleashed it upon hearing Xu Sanshi's cry for help.
Boom!
The explosive sound was like cannon fire, and the bursting flames rushed towards Xiao Hongchen like a fierce tiger.
As the flames drew closer, and he felt the Soul Cannon on his body gradually melting into liquid, Xiao Hongchen's fifth 30,000-year Soul Ring lit up, activating the Affection of Metal Soul Skill.
His entire body turned into a pool of molten metal, and he abandoned the Soul Cannon, quickly moving away from Chen Yuan's attack range.
When Chen Yuan's attack dissipated, the arena had been split in two by Chen Yuan attack. Huang Jinxu looked at Chen Yuan with a complicated expression.
Is this kid really got himself into trouble with the arena? He's destroyed it several times already!
Xiao Hongchen's figure reformed. Even though the Affection of Metal had negated 80% of the physical damage, Chen Yuan's move not only contained fist force but also fire attribute damage.
So now, Xiao Hongchen, his aura weakened, collapsed to the ground, looking unwillingly at Chen Yuan, who had just emerged from the Invincible Barrier ban slot.
They were about the same age and had similar skill levels, yet he lost so badly, unable to even withstand a single move from the other.
"Brother!" Meng Hongchen saw her brother's current state and immediately went to his side to support him.
With the Invincible Barrier gone, Lin Xi, who had been eliminated by Chen Yuan shortly after the start, was finally sent off the stage by Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo.
Of the others from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, two have already been eliminated by Chen Yuan, Xiao Hongchen is seriously injured and unable to fight. Apart from Meng Hongchen, the rest of the students have been dealt with.
Why wait until later in the game when you can win in a team fight?
As long as these people are rendered incapable of fighting, the subsequent matches will be merely a formality, Ma Xiaotao will not turn evil, and she will most likely be able to develop Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Huo Yuhao.
God King Tang's plan will then have major flaws.
Forget it, Chen Yuan was too lazy to make up excuses. There weren't many high-sounding reasons; he simply didn't want to play more matches.
Meng Hongchen glared at Chen Yuan with resentment. Although she had a good impression of the young man in front of her, this was a competition, and her brother had just been seriously injured. No matter what, she had to fight.
Meng Hongchen's exposed skin turned completely snow-white, her eyes turned vermilion, and she wore specially made ice-blue Soul Tool Armor, holding two longswords in her hands.
Seeing the Soul Tool Armor on Meng Hongchen's body, Chen Yuan was somewhat lost in thought. The way the armor on Meng Hongchen had appeared was exactly the same as the Battle Armor from the Douluo III era.
The Ice Extreme War God Armor may be the prototype for Battle Armor, but it is definitely not the only prototype.
There was a faint blue tinge in his palm, and Meng Hongchen pointed his sword at Chen Yuan.
Even though Meng Hongchen is a girl, this is a competition, and competitions don't distinguish between men and women; they only judge by strength. Therefore, Chen Yuan threw the first punch.
Meng Hongchen raised her sword to defend, and the two close-range Soul Tool made contact with Chen Yuan's fists, immediately producing a cracking sound as they succumbed to the strain.
"First Soul Skill, Ice Toad Poison!"
"Second Soul Skill, Ice Poison Ring!"
Two Yellow Soul Ring beside Meng Hongchen lit up simultaneously, releasing a circular poisonous area centered on her.
The poison in this area was further amplified by her First Soul Ring, and in her view, it was only a matter of time before Chen Yuan was poisoned.
The Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad's venom possesses both ice and fire properties; so far, Meng Hongchen has yet to encounter anyone who can ignore its poison.
At most, she can only rely on her high cultivation level to resist for a period of time. As for immunity? How could that be possible? Her grandfather said with his own words that so far, she is the only person who can cure the poison of the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad.
Unfortunately, the weather turned bad; a light drizzle began to fall on the competition stage.
Seeing this, Meng Hongchen continuously released cold air, turning all the falling rain into ice, and then released his Third Soul Skill, moving rapidly across the surrounding ice surface.
She kept slashing at Chen Yuan with her sword, but Chen Yuan caught each strike with one hand. Meng Hongchen never expected that there could be such a huge difference in their strength.
As long as I wait for the poison to take effect, I still have a chance to win.
Meng Hongchen had been scraping his skin for a while, but Chen Yuan didn't intend to continue. He grabbed the sword blade, flames rose in his hand, and the two close-range Soul Tool were destroyed by Chen Yuan.
What kind of Soul Tool can't be destroyed if the flame temperature is high enough? After all, isn't Soul Tool just metal?
Chen Yuan, who possesses the Ultimate Fire, is the strictest father among these Soul Engineer.
Flames rose, and the ice that Meng Hongchen had just condensed was burned to ashes by Chen Yuan. Even the rain falling from the sky was evaporated by the high temperature of the flames before it even got close to Chen Yuan.
