Although Dai Huabin felt slighted, his battle instincts kicked in, and he and his teammates immediately responded.
His third Soul Ring lit up. Under the boost of his third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, his body grew even more muscular, bursting through his clothes and revealing muscles strong enough to rival the power of the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin.
His evil eyes turned blood-red, and the air around him began to warp.
After using his third Soul Skill, Dai Huabin didn't charge straight at You Jie. Instead, he turned and rushed at Speed Warrior, crashing directly into him.
Cui Yajie hurriedly took several steps back while activating her second Soul Skill, Fox Tail Needle, and swept all of Lan Luoluo's hair aside.
On the other side, Zhu Lu immediately changed course as well. After creating some distance, she regrouped with Dai Huabin and Cui Yajie.
"As expected... Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo don't have a very wide control range. Dai Huabin and the others are all close-combat Soul Masters, and they're not fast enough to cross the sisters' control range in an instant. But if they keep their distance, they can avoid getting hit.
"And Dai Huabin isn't as reckless as I thought. He knew to protect his teammates in time..."
You Jie immediately called Speed Warrior back and summoned Junk Synchron with another Soul Skill, all while thinking quickly.
The White Tiger Vajra Transformation Soul Skill was simply too overpowered. Even when Speed Warrior activated his effect, he could only go toe-to-toe with Dai Huabin after he used White Tiger Vajra Transformation.
Speed Warrior's effect only lasted a short time, and if the fight continued, he would most likely be destroyed in battle. So You Jie had called him back.
As for Dai Huabin and his team, after their first clash, their expressions grew more solemn.
They hadn't thought much of Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo's control abilities, but Cui Yajie and Zhu Lu had nearly fallen into their hands.
It seemed the battle plan they'd made before the match would need to be adjusted.
But before Dai Huabin could give any orders, You Jie's team launched a fresh attack.
Lan Susu and Speed Warrior charged straight at Zhu Lu, while Lan Luoluo and Junk Synchron continued their assault on Cui Yajie.
With no summoned creatures to protect him, You Jie charged straight at Dai Huabin. From the look of it, he seemed eager to fight Dai Huabin one-on-one.
At the sight of this, Dai Huabin felt blood rush to his head, and anger surged through him.
A summoning-type Soul Master actually wanted to trade blows with a Power Attack System Soul Master in close combat!
How dare he?
Dai Huabin immediately charged to meet You Jie, swinging a tiger claw at him.
But You Jie suddenly darted forward a few steps and chopped the crook of Dai Huabin's elbow with the edge of his hand. Dai Huabin's arm instantly went numb and weak.
At the same time, You Jie shot out his right fist, slipping past Dai Huabin's raised arm and striking him squarely in the body.
"Those muscles are tough. How about this?"
You Jie pivoted and darted to the left, coming up on Dai Huabin's right side. He seized Dai Huabin's right arm and wrenched it outward with all his strength.
Dai Huabin winced in pain and tried to turn so his right arm wouldn't be under so much strain. But You Jie's footwork was just as quick, and he retreated even faster than Dai Huabin could turn.
Then You Jie suddenly let go, hurling Dai Huabin away. He immediately chased after him, hoping to attack again before Dai Huabin could regain his footing.
Dai Huabin had suffered a nasty disadvantage, but he was a seasoned fighter with real combat experience. His First and Second Soul Rings lit up in succession, and White Tiger Body Barrier and White Tiger Intense Light Wave activated one after the other.
"Damn it, his combat skills are even better than when I fought Father's White Tiger Personal Guard..." Dai Huabin thought bitterly.
"He's using the recoil from White Tiger Body Barrier and White Tiger Intense Light Wave to steady himself?
"So strong, too strong! I'll activate Magic Cylinder right away!"
You Jie's third Soul Ring lit up, and a flashy-looking cylinder appeared beside him, sucking in the entirety of White Tiger Intense Light Wave.
Then an identical attack shot out of Magic Cylinder and slammed into Dai Huabin's White Tiger Body Barrier.
"Wait, that direction... Lan Susu, retreat! Go help focus your attacks on Cui Yajie!"
You Jie immediately realized what Dai Huabin was planning and hurriedly shouted to Lan Susu.
On the other side, Zhu Lu turned and ran without hesitation, paying no attention to Lan Susu and Speed Warrior, who had been fighting her moments ago.
"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill? Fine.
"Since you've shown your 3+2, I'll answer with my own 3+2."
When You Jie saw Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu embrace, powerful Soul Power fluctuations rising from their bodies, he didn't hesitate any longer. He waved for Speed Warrior and Junk Synchron to return at once.
Meanwhile, with Junk Synchron no longer fighting her, Cui Yajie had a little more breathing room. But a wave of hair immediately bound her tight, leaving her no chance to use her second Soul Skill.
Her attention had been entirely drawn to her teammates' Martial Soul Fusion Skill and Junk Synchron's departure. She hadn't noticed the Hair Net coming from another direction at all.
The next moment, You Jie synchronized Junk Synchron and Speed Warrior, and Split Warrior appeared once more to face off against Hell White Tiger nearby.
"You Jie, those junk-metal summons of yours can't stand up to our Hell White Tiger, a legacy passed down for ten thousand years!"
The voice that came from inside Hell White Tiger held both Dai Huabin's and Zhu Lu's tones. The strange echo made everyone on the field feel uneasy.
You Jie's mouth twitched slightly. Then his second Soul Ring lit up, and Junk Warrior soared into the sky, bringing Scrap Iron Fist crashing down on Hell White Tiger.
Du Weilun wanted to rush between them and use his own body to test the outcome of their clash, but he managed to restrain himself.
Though Du Weilun had heard some rumors, he didn't have a clear understanding of You Jie's strength. He didn't think Junk Warrior could really knock back Hell White Tiger, even if Junk Warrior felt at least as powerful as a Soul King.
Then Hell White Tiger was smashed apart with a single punch, and Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu crashed to the ground, screaming in unison.
"Do you have Flip-Over King's kind of skill? Then use Flip-Over King's ta—"
As You Jie was grumbling to himself about what Hell White Tiger had just said, an especially ominous aura came from the venue where the other semifinal was underway.
You Jie didn't even bother to listen to Du Weilun announce the result. He hurriedly ran over there.
When he saw a fleck of gold appear on Wang Dong'er's forehead, You Jie's expression changed dramatically. His third Soul Ring lit up again.
"Trap Card activated: Solemn Judgment!
"FUCKING Tang San, how much longer are you going to toy with people, you bastard?!"
