3+2 Showdown (Part 2)

Although he felt slighted, Dai Huabin relied on his combat instincts to immediately coordinate a response with his teammates.

His third soul ring flared to life, and under the amplification of his third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, his physique grew even more robust, bursting through his clothes to reveal muscles that possessed strength comparable to the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin.

His Evil Eyes turned blood-red, and the air around his body began to distort.

After activating his third soul skill, Dai Huabin did not charge directly at You Jie; instead, he turned and lunged toward Speed Warrior, colliding with it head-on.

Cui Yajie hurriedly retreated a few steps, simultaneously activating her second soul skill, Fox Tail Needle, to sweep away Lan Luoluo's hair.

As for Zhu Lu on the other side, she immediately altered her trajectory, pulling back to a certain distance before regrouping with Dai Huabin and Cui Yajie.

As expected... the control range of Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo isn't very large. Although Dai Huabin and his team are melee soul masters and their speed isn't fast enough to instantly cross the control zone, as long as they maintain distance, they can avoid being hit.

Besides, this Dai Huabin isn't as reckless as he seems; he actually knows how to protect his teammates in time...

You Jie immediately ordered Speed Warrior to retreat, summoned Junk Synchron once more, and pondered rapidly.

It had to be said that the White Tiger Vajra Transformation soul skill was simply too much of a stat-check; even when Speed Warrior activated its effects, it could only manage a stalemate against a transformed Dai Huabin.

Since the duration of Speed Warrior's effect was very short, continuing the fight would likely lead to it being destroyed in battle, so You Jie pulled it back.

On Dai Huabin's side, after the initial collision, their expressions grew more solemn.

They hadn't originally thought much of Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo's control abilities, yet Cui Yajie and Zhu Lu had nearly fallen into their trap.

It seemed that the tactics they had formulated before the match would likely need some adjustments.

However, before Dai Huabin could make any arrangements, You Jie had already launched a new offensive.

Lan Susu and Speed Warrior headed straight for Zhu Lu, while Lan Luoluo and Junk Synchron continued their assault on Cui Yajie.

As for You Jie, who had no summons protecting him, he charged straight at Dai Huabin, his posture suggesting he was eager for a one-on-one duel.

Seeing this, Dai Huabin felt blood rush to his head, fueling his anger.

A summoning-type soul master actually wanted to engage in close-quarters combat with a power-attack soul master!

How dare he?

Dai Huabin immediately moved to meet You Jie, raising his hand to strike with a tiger claw.

However, You Jie suddenly surged forward a few steps, delivering a hand-blade strike directly into the crook of Dai Huabin's elbow, instantly leaving the latter feeling a wave of numbness and weakness.

At the same time, You Jie's right fist struck out, bypassing Dai Huabin's raised right arm to land squarely on his body.

"Such solid muscles. How about this, then?"

You Jie spun to the left, arriving at Dai Huabin's right side, and grabbed his right arm, pulling it outward with force.

Dai Huabin felt the pain and tried to turn to relieve the pressure on his arm, but You Jie's footwork was equally swift, his retreat speed even faster than Dai Huabin's advance.

Following that, You Jie suddenly let go, flinging Dai Huabin away before chasing after him, intending to press the attack before Dai Huabin could regain his footing.

Yet, despite suffering several setbacks, Dai Huabin was a ruthless man with real combat experience; his first and second soul rings lit up in succession, activating White Tiger Body Barrier and White Tiger Intense Light Wave.

Damn it, his combat level even exceeds that of my father's White Tiger Guards when they spar with me... Dai Huabin thought with frustration.

He actually wants to use the recoil from the White Tiger Body Barrier and White Tiger Intense Light Wave to stabilize himself?

So strong, too strong! I'll activate Magic Cylinder immediately!

You Jie's third soul ring lit up, and a somewhat gaudy-looking cylinder appeared beside him, absorbing the entirety of the White Tiger Intense Light Wave.

Moments later, an identical attack erupted from the Magic Cylinder, slamming into Dai Huabin's White Tiger Body Barrier.

"Wait, this direction... Lan Susu, retreat! Go focus fire on Cui Yajie!"

You Jie immediately realized Dai Huabin's intent and shouted to Lan Susu.

On the other side, Zhu Lu turned and ran, completely ignoring Lan Susu and Speed Warrior, who had been fighting her just moments ago.

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill? Very well."

"Since you've already revealed your 3+2, I shall respond with my own 3+2."

Seeing Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu embracing as intense soul power fluctuations erupted from them, You Jie did not hesitate, signaling for Speed Warrior and Junk Synchron to return immediately.

At this moment, although Cui Yajie felt a slight reprieve due to the absence of Junk Synchron, the incoming hair quickly bound her tightly, not even giving her a chance to activate her second soul skill.

Her attention was entirely captured by her teammates' Martial Soul Fusion Skill and the departing Junk Synchron, leaving her completely unaware of the net of hair approaching from another direction.

The next moment, You Jie performed a synchro summon with Junk Synchron and Speed Warrior; Split Warrior appeared once more, standing in opposition to the Hell White Tiger in the distance.

"You Jie, with those scrap-metal summons of yours, there is no way you can contend with our Hell White Tiger, which has been passed down for ten thousand years!"

From the mouth of the Hell White Tiger came a voice that blended the tones of both Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu; this peculiar echo made everyone on the field feel quite strange.

You Jie's mouth twitched slightly, and his second soul ring lit up. Junk Warrior soared into the sky, smashing down hard toward the Hell White Tiger with a Scrap Iron Fist.

Du Weilun desperately wanted to rush between the two and use his own body to verify the result of this collision, but he held back the impulse.

Although Du Weilun had heard some rumors, he had no concrete understanding of You Jie's strength, so he did not believe that You Jie's Junk Warrior could truly repel the Hell White Tiger, even though, to his perception, Junk Warrior possessed at least the strength of a Soul King.

Then, the Hell White Tiger was shattered by a single punch, and Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu fell to the ground, screaming in unison.

Do you have the skills of the Flip-Over King? Using the Flip-Over King's lines...

Just as You Jie was mentally mocking the words the Hell White Tiger had spoken, an exceptionally ominous aura drifted over from the other semifinal arena.

You Jie didn't even wait to hear Du Weilun announce the results before rushing toward that side.

Seeing the speck of gold appear on Wang Dong'er's forehead, You Jie's expression changed drastically, and his third soul ring lit up once more.

"Trap card, activate! Solemn Judgment!"

"Damn you, Tang San, you bastard—how much longer are you going to toy with people's lives?!"
