"Tch..."
Wang Dong'er gritted her teeth as she watched Wei Xiaofeng get forcefully dragged back by that thick Blue Silver Grass. This is bad.
Their carefully planned diversion had actually failed.
"Thanks!"
Wei Xiaofeng patted his chest with lingering fear. For that instant just now, he had truly felt like those sharp butterfly wings were going to slice him in half.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You girls..."
Xie Xie played with the Light Dragon Dagger in his hand, looking disdainfully at the three girls opposite him.
"You're all quite pretty, so why are your hearts so vicious?"
"Using a diversion like that? How despicable!"
Xiao Xiao immediately flared up at those words.
She stepped forward, pointing the Nine Phoenix Flute in her hand at Xie Xie as she snapped back without any courtesy.
"And you have the nerve to say that about us?"
"Who was it that shamelessly shouted over there as bait, tricking people out so you could ambush and kill them?"
"If we're talking about being despicable, who could possibly compare to you?"
"All's fair in war, don't you get it?"
Xie Xie raised his chin righteously.
"Hmph, right back at you!"
Xiao Xiao snorted coldly.
Though she did not give an inch verbally, Wang Dong'er's nerves had already tightened.
The current situation was extremely unfavorable for them.
Although the other side also had three people, Tang Wulin was unfathomable, Xie Xie was an expert among agility attack-type soul masters, and Wei Xiaofeng was exceptionally fast.
As for their side...
Wang Dong'er glanced at the two behind her.
Xi Er only had one soul ring.
Although Xiao Xiao was a two-ringed Soul Grandmaster, she was a control-type soul master. Once someone like Xie Xie, an agility attack-type soul master, got close to her, her combat strength would drop sharply.
In other words...
Once they started fighting, Wei Xiaofeng would hold off Xi Er while Xie Xie tied up Xiao Xiao.
That would leave her to face Tang Wulin alone.
As long as either Xi Er or Xiao Xiao failed to hold on and lost first, she would fall into the desperate situation of being surrounded.
Defeat would only be a matter of time.
Not only had Wang Dong'er seen this clearly; Huo Yuhao outside the arena had seen it just as clearly.
"This is troublesome."
Huo Yuhao frowned deeply as he stared at the scene on the light screen.
"That Tang Wulin... when he dealt with his opponents earlier, it was basically one punch per person."
"He didn't even use any soul skills. He relied purely on his physical strength and that strange Golden Dragon Claw."
"With that terrifying power and explosiveness, Wang Dong'er and the others... their chances are grim."
Just when everyone thought a chaotic melee was inevitable.
Xie Xie suddenly rolled his eyes and made a suggestion.
"Hey, listen."
"Since we're the last two teams standing, another messy free-for-all would be pretty boring."
"How about this?"
Xie Xie pointed at Wang Dong'er, then at Tang Wulin beside him, a sly smile appearing on his face.
"You fight our boss one-on-one."
"If you win, the three of us will surrender immediately, and the class monitor position will be yours."
"What do you say? Dare to do it?"
This sudden proposal left everyone present stunned.
"Huh?"
Xiao Xiao widened her eyes and looked at Xie Xie as if he were an idiot.
"Are you serious?"
They were clearly guaranteed to win in a three-against-three battle, so why give up their advantage and suggest a duel?
Even Huo Yuhao outside the arena looked dumbfounded.
"This... what kind of tactic is that?"
Was he overly confident, or simply arrogant?
Wang Dong'er was also taken aback before looking at Xie Xie suspiciously.
"Do you mean it?"
"Of course I mean it. When I give my word, I keep it!"
Xie Xie patted his chest in assurance, then turned to Tang Wulin with a grin.
"Right, Boss?"
Tang Wulin gave Xie Xie a somewhat helpless look.
He naturally knew what Xie Xie was thinking. The guy just wanted to slack off and watch a show.
Still...
He did want to test the strength of this person who somehow felt familiar to him.
So, somewhat helplessly, he nodded.
When Tang Wulin agreed, a surge of wild joy immediately rose in Wang Dong'er's heart.
She had thought it was a dead end, but she had not expected the other side to hand her an opportunity!
A one-on-one duel?
Since she was little, Wang Dong'er had never feared anyone her age!
"Fine! It's a deal!"
Afraid they might change their minds, Wang Dong'er agreed immediately.
"Dong'er, go!"
Although Xiao Xiao and Xi Er found the situation a little strange, this was their only chance at winning. They could only cheer Wang Dong'er on, then retreat to the edge of the field and clear the battlefield for the two of them.
Wei Xiaofeng and Xie Xie also grinned as they stepped aside, looking ready to enjoy the show.
Only Wang Dong'er and Tang Wulin remained facing each other in the open space.
"Since it's a duel, I won't hold back."
Wang Dong'er took a deep breath, the fighting spirit in her eyes instantly blazing to its peak.
She was the little princess of the Clear Sky Sect, a true genius!
"Buzz—"
As Soul Power surged, the pair of dazzling Light Goddess Butterfly wings behind her abruptly spread open.
Immediately after that.
Two soul rings slowly rose from beneath her feet.
One yellow.
One purple!
"That's..."
Huo Yuhao suddenly leaned forward before the light screen, his eyes full of shock.
"A thousand-year soul ring?!"
"Her second soul ring is already thousand-year level?!"
Inside the battlefield.
"Oh my god..."
Xi Er covered her mouth.
"Dong'er actually... hid her strength?"
Xiao Xiao was equally excited.
"Dong'er never used her second soul skill before, so I thought it was only a hundred-year one. I never expected it to be thousand-year!"
"There's a chance! There's definitely a chance now!"
However, Xie Xie and the others did not react much to this sight. They still looked as though they were watching a show.
"Come!"
Wang Dong'er gave a clear shout. Her body danced like a blue butterfly, and her speed suddenly skyrocketed.
"First soul skill, Wing Guillotine!"
Using the momentum of her dive, the razor-sharp edges of her guillotine-like wings tore through the air with a shriek as they slashed viciously toward Tang Wulin's shoulder!
Facing this fierce attack, Tang Wulin did not dodge.
He merely stood there quietly, then...
Raised his right hand, covered in golden scales.
"Clang—!!!"
An ear-piercing clash of metal rang through the forest.
Sparks flew everywhere!
Wang Dong'er felt as though her wings had struck an indestructible piece of divine iron. The massive recoil sent her blood and energy churning, and a faint sharp pain even came from her wings.
As for Tang Wulin.
His body merely swayed slightly. Not even a white mark was left on that golden dragon claw!
"What?!"
Wang Dong'er's pupils contracted violently.
How was that possible?!
"Again!"
Wang Dong'er refused to accept it.
Since one strike was not enough, she would use something stronger!
She circled through the air, and the purple soul ring beneath her feet suddenly lit up.
"Second soul skill, Butterfly Goddess Light!"
This time, she did not close in. Instead, she used her advantage in flight to widen the distance.
Countless golden spheres of light gathered before her, raining down toward Tang Wulin like meteors and bombarding him from every direction!
"Boom boom boom boom boom—"
Explosions rang out one after another. Dust billowed up, completely swallowing Tang Wulin's figure.
"It hit him!"
Xiao Xiao excitedly pumped her fist.
However.
When the dust dispersed.
The smile on Wang Dong'er's face instantly froze.
Tang Wulin was still standing where he had been.
He had shielded his head and chest with that enormous golden dragon claw. His aura remained steady, and he had clearly suffered no substantial damage.
"That defense... is way too monstrous..."
Wang Dong'er nearly wanted to cry.
After attacking for so long, she had not even broken through his defense?
How was she supposed to fight this?
A thought instantly flashed through her mind—use the Clear Sky Hammer!
It was the number one tool martial soul under heaven. With one strike, even an iron man could be smashed flat!
But...
The next second, she dismissed the idea.
No.
The Clear Sky Hammer did not have a single soul ring, so its power was limited. Besides, it would expose her identity.
Wang Dong'er bit her lip. Since a frontal assault would not work, she would find his weakness!
She keenly noticed that while Tang Wulin's right hand was indestructible, his entire body was not covered in scales.
As long as she avoided that hand and attacked another part of his body...
"As long as he can't grab me, I can use my advantage in flight..."
With that thought, Wang Dong'er flapped her wings again and rose higher, intending to use her aerial advantage to seek an opening.
"As long as I fly high enough, he won't be able to hit me!"
Watching Wang Dong'er fly higher and higher, Tang Wulin slowly lowered his arm.
He raised his head, and those clear eyes reflected the dazzling butterfly in the sky.
"You're flying pretty high."
Tang Wulin's lips curved slightly into a faint smile.
"However..."
"Who said I can't hit you?"
The next moment.
Before everyone's stunned eyes.
A purple soul ring slowly rose from beneath Tang Wulin's feet.
"His first soul ring... is purple?!"
Huo Yuhao froze, and Wang Dong'er's expression changed as well. How could someone's first soul ring be purple? Weren't they all freshmen?
His first soul ring was already a thousand-year one?!
Before everyone could recover from their shock.
"First Soul Skill, Entangle!"
Dozens of thick Blue Silver Grass vines, as stout as pythons, shot skyward. Each vine was covered in golden veins, moving at incredible speed!
Wang Dong'er had just taken to the air and was preparing to find an angle of attack.
When she suddenly felt a suffocating pressure coming from below.
When she looked down, all she saw was a vast net descending over her!
"Wha..."
Too fast!
There was no time to dodge!
"Smack!"
The thick Blue Silver Grass instantly wrapped around her ankles, then her waist, her wings...
In the blink of an eye, the dazzling Light Goddess Butterfly had been tightly bound into a dumpling!
"Get... down!"
Tang Wulin suddenly swung his arm downward.
An irresistible force surged forth.
"Ah—!"
Wang Dong'er cried out in surprise, instantly losing her balance as she was violently dragged down from midair!
"Bang!!!"
With a dull, thunderous crash.
Wang Dong'er was slammed heavily into the solid ground, kicking up a cloud of dust before vanishing from where she stood.
Wang Dong'er, eliminated.
