The referee entered the arena and announced loudly, "The first match of the third round of the knockout stage: Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team versus Shrek Academy Team."
"Please proceed to the waiting area. Players for the first individual match, please come to the stage."
On the Sun Moon Team's side, Xiao Hongchen sent one of the team's young players onto the field.
Inside the Shrek Academy rest area, all the Main Team arrived at the waiting area, with Ye Guyi being the first to take the stage.
Xiao Hongchen looked at Ye Guyi, a sense of doubt creeping into his heart. "This is the first time I've met this woman; I don't know a single thing about her."
"She should be filling in for Bei Bei's vacancy," Meng Hongchen said indignantly. "What kind of tricks does this woman have? Just by looking at her, you can tell she's not a good woman."
Xiao Hongchen felt somewhat helpless. His younger sister was good in every way, except that she was too infatuated with boys.
The focus should be on what kind of strength this woman named Ye Guyi possesses! To become a regular member of Shrek Main Team, her strength must be extraordinary!
The referee looked at both sides and said in a deep voice, "During the match, if one side concedes defeat, they cannot continue attacking. If any unexpected danger arises, I will intervene to prevent injury or death."
Compared to previous tournaments, this year's competition has seen far more casualties, perhaps due to the participation of sect teams who were not careful with their attacks. As a result, the requirements for referees have become much stricter.
Ye Guyi nodded slightly with a cold face. After learning that the Sun Moon Empire had secretly cooperated with Evil Soul Master and even condoned their continued development, Ye Guyi had completely lost any good impression of the Sun Moon Empire.
The young man from the Sun Moon Team said to Ye Guyi, "My name is Shi Xing. Remember my name, and I will defeat you here!"
Ye Guyi ignored the other person and turned to walk to the edge of the field.
Shi Xing's expression was somewhat unpleasant. His harsh words had been ignored, and he secretly vowed to make the other party pay.
As soon as Ye Guyi turned around at the edge of the competition platform, before she could even stand still, the referee announced the start of the match.
Shi Xing, a pair of soul-guided flight device wings unfolded on Shi Xing's back, carrying him rapidly forward, and a level 5 high-explosive shell was fired straight at Ye Guyi.
Ye Guyi raised a delicate eyebrow; as expected, the referee was biased towards the Sun Moon Empire.
Her reaction was swift; the Holy Angel Martial Soul manifested, and six Soul Ring —two yellow, two purple, and two black—rose up.
A colossal Angel Phantom appeared behind them, emanating an aura of holy light!
Compared to Ye Guyi's Soul Emperor, Shi Xing only possessed one Soul Ring, and his Soul Ring were merely two yellow and three purple.
However, since Shi Xing is a Soul Engineer, the quality of his Soul Ring will not have much impact on his strength.
All of his Soul Skill amplify his own Soul Power; his combat strength depends entirely on the Soul Tool he possesses.
Ye Guyi, and two pure white wings appeared on her back.
With her Angel Wings spread, her delicate body shot straight into the sky like a golden ray of light.
Ye Guyi wrist and grasped a golden longsword in her hand, which shimmered with seven stars. It was a Soul Tool that she had made herself.
He pointed his longsword forward, deflecting a level 4 high-explosive shell with the blade.
However, the shell changed direction and continued flying towards Ye Guyi; it was a high-explosive shell with automatic tracking capabilities!
Just before the explosion, Ye Guyi's delicate body suddenly became ethereal, as if a golden light was moving forward.
It moved extremely fast, almost instantly moving more than ten meters away.
"Boom."
A violent explosion rang out behind them, and a ball of blazing red light with a diameter of more than ten meters lit up the air. Ye Guyi, however, had already escaped the blast radius.
Upon Shi Xing released another set of Level 5 tracking high-explosive shells in a triangular formation, blocking all of Ye Guyi's escape routes!
Ye Guyi's Second Soul Ring flashed, and behind her, the light and shadow of Six-Winged Angel flickered.
The Seven Star Longsword in her hand gleamed with a dazzling sword light.
Second Soul Skill, Holy Spirit Slash!
A white sword beam, three zhang long, transformed into a stunning rainbow and descended from the sky, instantly destroying the three level-five tracking high-explosive bombs!
Ye Guyi rushed towards Shi Xing. As Soul Engineer herself, she naturally knew that the weakness of Soul Engineer was close combat.
Shi Xing couldn't help but panic again. His attacks couldn't stop the woman in front of him. He immediately took out a soul-guided giant cannon with a caliber of 30 centimeters and carried it on his shoulder.
A beam of red light shot out, heading straight for Ye Guyi.
This is a level six Soul Tool with a built-in positioning function, which unleashes a terrifying crimson fire storm.
Ye Guyi raised her longsword high, her fourth Soul Ring flashed, and the sword suddenly fell.
Fourth Soul Skill: Holy Light Spirit Array!
Layers of holy light gushed outwards from her as if from a spring, instantly blocking the storm of crimson fire!
Then, her second Soul Skill flashed, and the Holy Spirit Slash descended, a huge sword beam three zhang long falling from the sky.
A golden shield appeared around Shi Xing, the Invincible Barrier, which blocked the terrifying sword light.
At this moment, Ye Guyi had arrived in front of Shi Xing, and the seven stars on the longsword in her hand were bursting out with powerful divine power.
This Soul Tool longsword can greatly enhance the power of his Soul Skill.
Ye Guyi's fifth Soul Ring flashed, and she unleashed her Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill, pointing her longsword forward.
Fifth Soul Skill, Holy Sword!
A massive golden-white lightsaber flashed past, heading straight for Shi Xing!
"Stop!" The referee was taken aback. He knew that Shi Xing was no match for this attack, and he shouted angrily.
However, Ye Guyi still moved. The long sword in her hand burst forth with a white-gold sword light, as if it were about to pierce through the heavens and earth.
A second Invincible Barrier appeared on Shi Xing's body, but the three seconds passed quickly.
The referee tried to intervene, but although he was a Soul Saint specializing in agility-based attacks, he was still some distance behind Ye Guyi and Shi Xing.
Just as Shi Xing was about to admit defeat, before he could even utter a sound, Ye Guyi flipped her hand, and her longsword unleashed a beam of light that cleaved his body in two.
The referee had rushed forward, his teeth clenched in fury, and roared at Ye Guyi, "I told you to stop, why didn't you stop?"
"Why should I stop if the opponent hasn't admitted defeat?" Ye Guyi said coldly. "If he dies, it's only because you didn't rescue him in time."
"You..." The referee was furious, but had no choice but to announce, " Shrek wins the first match of the individual elimination round."
In the waiting area of Sun Moon Team, Xiao Hongchen's face was ashen, and his heart was burning with rage.
Someone died on the stage in the very first match, without even a complete body.
"Damn Shrek Academy, I will fight you to the death!" Xiao Hongchen said through gritted teeth.
" Zhou Xinghao, you're going on stage, be extremely careful." Xiao Hongchen suppressed the urge to go on stage.
Both sides are still testing each other. Shrek Academy hasn't sent any real players onto the field yet, so he can't afford to lose his composure.
