"Now!"
A sharp glint flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's cold eyes. "First Soul Skill, Resonance Step, Shadow Instant Kill."
In an instant, Helian Yan lost sight of her target. Before she could react, dozens of claw strikes had already landed on her back, sending her to the ground.
"How is that possible?" After rolling away, she swiftly turned around and blocked the remaining claw strikes, a smile curling at her lips. "It's been a long time since I've met an opponent who could force me to use a Soul Skill to boost my speed. Second Soul Skill, Fire Leopard Swift Step!"
A flash of red light passed, and Helian Yan vanished from where she stood. Only a streak of fiery red light flickered across the Soul Battle Platform.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flickered as her second Soul Ring lit up. "Second Soul Skill, Nether Step."
Her figure vanished as well. On the Soul Battle Platform, only two streaks of light—one red, one black—could be seen crossing each other.
Compared to Helian Yan's pure speed enhancement, Zhu Zhuqing's footwork was far more elusive. Her speed had not increased by much, but it was impossible to predict, allowing her to evade every attack.
A golden bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the red and black streaks.
Pikachu, glowing all over with golden light, charged toward Ning Rongrong at lightning speed.
Helian Yan tried to change direction and give chase, but Zhu Zhuqing held her back instead. The relentless, pressing claw strikes left her no choice but to remain trapped in their battle.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
Zhu Zhuqing shouted.
The Soul Battle Platform was filled with the crackling of electricity.
"Pika! Pikachu!" Pikachu leaped high into the air, firing all the golden flashes straight at Ning Rongrong.
"The commoner Soul Master team's coordination is flawless!
