The atmosphere in the assessment area was eerie.
The thirteen men stood on the sidelines, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath, her fiery red ponytail swaying gently in the wind, her form-fitting red school uniform outlining her stunning curves.
She looked at the people around her and said in a deep voice, "Stand in position!"
The group then realized what was happening and quickly dispersed as Ma Xiaotao instructed.
Speaking of the main team members, of the original seven, one naturally had to be replaced after Lin Ciyan became the captain...
Chen Zifeng was therefore eliminated because his abilities were inferior to those of the others.
The academy provided Chen Zifeng with a large amount of cultivation resources as compensation.
He was quite happy, completely unaware that without Lin Ciyan's appearance, he would have met a tragic end at the hands of Evil Soul Master.
The scene returns to the field. The current starting lineup consists of: Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochеn, Xi Xi, Gongyang Mo, and Yao Haoxuan. Including the seven reserve players, there are exactly thirteen players.
On the sidelines, Xuan Zi was holding a gourd of wine and gnawing on a chicken leg. Two people had appeared beside him at some point... Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo.
All three high-ranking members of the academy were present, clearly showing their interest in this "unfair" match.
"Old Yan, how long do you think Ci Yan can hold out?" Qian Duoduo asked, stroking his chin.
Yan Shaozhe smiled, "It's not about how long we can hold out, it's about how long it will take to win."
Xuan Zi took a swig of wine and snorted, "This kid is too arrogant; he needs to be taught a lesson."
In the center of the arena, Lin Ciyan still maintained his languid demeanor, his white robe swaying gently in the wind.
He glanced at the thirteen men standing guard opposite him, yawned, and said, "Have you finished discussing it? I'm in a hurry."
Ma Xiaotao looked speechless, then bit her lip lightly. "Arrogant! You'll be crying later!"
She turned to her teammates. "Listen up! Huo Yuhao, Spiritual Detection Sharing covers the entire process! Gongyang Mo, support, follow up! Dai Yueheng, you and I will be the main attackers!"
" Ling Luochеn is in control of the entire field! Xi Xi, find an opportunity to break in! Yao Haoxuan, boost your defense!"
"The reserve team, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, hold the front! He Caitou, provide suppressive fire! Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, wait for an opportunity to strike! Jiang Nannan, roam and disrupt!"
The thirteen quickly formed a battle formation, their Soul Ring lighting up one after another, displaying a dazzling array of colors.
Lin Ciyan nodded. "Not bad, the formation looks decent."
He slowly raised his right hand, and the phantom of the Holy Radiance Qilin appeared behind him, its five-colored light flowing around it.
Six Soul Ring rose up... four black! two red! The deep red of the fourth and fifth Soul Ring faintly swirled with a seven-colored halo.
"Let's begin." Lin Ciyan's words fell, and he vanished from the spot.
It wasn't that it was too fast; it really disappeared!
"What?!" Ma Xiaotao's pupils contracted.
The next moment, Lin Ciyan appeared behind the reserve team... next to Xiao Xiao.
"Let's start with the weakest one," he said softly, his right hand gently pressing on Xiao Xiao's shoulder.
Xiao Xiao didn't even have time to react before she felt a gentle yet irresistible force push her away, landing outside the arena.
The Soul Power exerted by Lin Ciyan slowed its speed, and it landed steadily on the ground outside the arena.
Xuan Zi intended to catch her, but when he saw Xiao Xiao land safely, his eyes widened in surprise.
This kid is still showing off his skills...
He then announced, " Xiao Xiao is eliminated."
The whole thing took less than a second!
"So fast!" A glint of light flashed in Qian Duoduo's eyes.
"Not speed, but... spatial abilities?"
Yan Shaozhe shook his head. "No, it's the Five Elements Escape Technique. He Earth-Walking Technique to sneak underground and then reappeared behind Xiao Xiao."
In the arena, everyone finally realized what was happening. Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection scanned frantically, but he couldn't detect Lin Ciyan's movement at all!
"The second one." Lin Ciyan's voice came from another direction.
Xu Sanshi roared, and the Black Tortoise Turtle Shield slammed down, attempting to block out the source of the sound.
But he missed... Lin Ciyan was right above his head.
"They don't learn their lesson... and they're too slow."
Lin Ciyan lightly placed a palm on Xu Sanshi's back.
Xu Sanshi felt a gentle force come from him, and he was propelled forward more than ten meters, crashing into the wall of the Soul Fighting Arena, his nose bleeding profusely.
Xuan Zi's eyes widened instantly. What happened to the promise of a smooth landing?!
" Xu Sanshi, eliminated."
Bei Bei's expression changed drastically. She unleashed her full power with her Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, lightning swirling around her.
But Lin Ciyan didn't even look at him; his gaze was fixed on He Caitou.
He Caitou was frantically assembling the Soul Tool, dozens of cannon barrels aimed at all directions.
Lin Ciyan simply pointed. " Light Domain - Holy Radiance Sky Curtain."
A white Light Domain instantly expanded, enveloping a five-meter radius around He Caitou.
He Caitou felt his Soul Power circulating sluggishly, and all his Soul Tool simultaneously went silent.
" Soul Engineer are most afraid of being controlled." Lin Ciyan appeared in front of him, gently patted him, and said, "Eliminated."
Three eliminations in a row! The whole thing took less than five seconds!
The reserve team has four members remaining: Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Bei Bei, Jiang Nannan.
Ma Xiaotao finally snapped, "Scatter! Don't huddle together!"
She spread her wings, Phoenix Flame shot into the sky, rushing straight at Lin Ciyan.
At the same time, Dai Yueheng activated his White Tiger Vajra Transformation, flanking from the other side.
Two Soul Emperor join forces!
Lin Ciyan laughed, "That's more like it."
Instead of retreating, he advanced to meet Ma Xiaotao. Just as the Phoenix Flame were within reach, a flash of icy blue light appeared on his body... His Second Martial Soul, the Light of the Five Elements!
Switch to Ultimate Ice to face the Evil Fire Phoenix!
"Laugh..."
Flames collided with ice, and white mist rose.
Ma Xiaotao was speechless to discover that her Phoenix Flame had indeed been suppressed!
She was also subdued when she resisted in bed, but she always felt that she was giving in to him, she never expected...
In a real battle, even though he had almost expelled the Evil Fire, his attacks were completely ineffective!
It's not Soul Power suppression, it's pure attribute suppression!
"Sister Xiaotao, have you forgotten what my Second Martial Soul is?" Lin Ciyan chuckled, raising his left hand slightly.
"First Soul Skill, Extreme Ice Thrust."
Ice-blue spikes appeared out of nowhere, and Ma Xiaotao hurriedly dodged them.
But Lin Ciyan's target wasn't her at all... The ice spikes changed direction and shot straight at Gongyang Mo in the air!
Gongyang Mo is giving his all to assist, the Rainbow Dragon spreads its wings, and a seven-colored halo envelops the entire field.
He had no idea the attack would suddenly turn around!
" Xi Xi!" Ma Xiaotao called out urgently.
A flash of Xi Xi appeared before Gongyang Mo, and with a series of swift movements, dozens of bolts of lightning shattered the ice spikes.
But this also revealed her location.
"Got you." Lin Ciyan's voice rang in her ear.
Xi Xi turned around in shock, only to find Lin Ciyan already behind her, his right hand lightly pressing on her back. "Elimination."
The lightning-type agile Soul King didn't even have time to react!
Gongyang Mo hurriedly retreated, but Lin Ciyan did not chase after him at all, and turned to face Dai Yueheng who was rushing towards him.
"Senior Dai, it's your turn."
Dai Yueheng roared, unleashing the full power of his White Tiger Demon God Transformation, his golden tiger claws tearing through the air.
Lin Ciyan simply raised his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched. " Ice Emperor's Body Protection."
His right arm was covered in icy blue armor as he took the tiger's claws head-on!
"Bang!"
The shockwave exploded, Dai Yueheng staggered back three steps, while Lin Ciyan remained completely still.
"Your strength is good, but your technique is lacking," Lin Ciyan commented, while simultaneously waving his left hand to the side.
"Second Soul Skill, Emperor Scorpion Domain."
An icy blue Light Domain unfolded, and the temperature plummeted.
Jiang Nannan, who was trying to get closer, suddenly slowed down tenfold, and frost formed on her body.
" Jiang Nannan, eliminated."
Bei Bei's eyes reddened, and she unleashed Thunder Dragon Claw strike at Lin Ciyan's back.
Lin Ciyan didn't turn his head, his Ice Jade Snow Phoenix Wings unfolding behind him, and he gently flapped them.
Four ice feathers shot out, Bei Bei tried her best to block them, but was still knocked away and landed on the sidelines.
" Bei Bei, eliminated."
There are now only seven players left on the field: four regular players, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochеn, and Yao Haoxuan, and two reserves, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
Ling Luochеn finally made his move.
She had been calmly observing all along. Now, she raised her staff high, and an icy blue light enveloped the entire area. "Ice Control - Absolute Zero!"
The temperature dropped instantly! This move became even stronger and faster after absorbing Lin Ciyan's essence!
This is also her fifth Soul Skill, a wide-area control skill!
Lin Ciyan raised an eyebrow. " Luo Chen, your move has indeed become stronger... but it's useless against me."
Behind him, the phantom of the Heavenly Snow Woman appeared, unleashing an aura of Ultimate Ice!
Ling Luochеn's ice control instantly collapsed, and all the ice elements turned against her, surging back towards her!
Ling Luochеn's beautiful eyes widened, her mind racing with conflicting thoughts.
"Attribute suppression, absolute," Lin Ciyan explained, pointing a finger at the same time, "Elimination."
Ling Luochеn's body stiffened, and a multicolored light flashed around him.
The next instant, she appeared in the audience seats outside the stadium.
Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, Qian Duoduo stared in shock at the girl who had suddenly appeared beside them!
Inside the arena, Yao Haoxuan roared, his body swelling to four meters tall, and his giant hammer-like fist smashed towards Lin Ciyan.
Lin Ciyan simply sighed, "Like a little tortoise, too slow."
He flashed behind Yao Haoxuan and lightly pressed his palm down. "Eliminated."
Now, only four people remain: Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong.
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.
The two, one on the left and one on the right, unleashed their full power!
Phoenix Meteor Shower and White Tiger Annihilation Kill simultaneously bombarded Lin Ciyan!
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong also moved.
Their palms touched, Haodong Power surged wildly!
"The decay amidst brilliance... The Golden Road!"
Blue, purple, and gold rays burst forth, shooting straight towards Lin Ciyan!
Three deadly moves have descended simultaneously!
Yan Shaozhe stood up on the sidelines.
Qian Duoduo's eyes widened.
Xuan Zi stopped pouring the wine.
Lin Ciyan smiled.
"That's starting to get interesting."
He slowly raised his hands, his left hand Holy Radiance Qilin and his right hand the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, his Twin Martial Souls manifesting simultaneously!
"Sixth Soul Skill, Aurora Qilin Dance."
The seven-colored aurora rippled outwards from him, like a dream.
The Phoenix Meteor Shower slowed down and dissipated amidst the aurora borealis.
The White Tiger Annihilation Kill was Entanglement and disintegrated by the aurora.
The Golden Road shot straight towards him, but Lin Ciyan neither dodged nor avoided it.
His Ice Jade Snow Phoenix Wings spread out to their maximum extent, imbued with the dual attributes of ice and fire and accompanied by seven-colored energy, transforming into a magnificent shield.
"Boom...!"
The Golden Road collided with the seven-colored shield, bursting forth with dazzling light.
But after the light faded, Lin Ciyan remained standing in the same spot, completely unharmed.
" Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" He looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong and nodded approvingly.
"Not bad, but it's not enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was between Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
Gently press your hands on both of their shoulders.
" Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong are eliminated."
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng wanted to fight again, but Lin Ciyan was already in front of them.
He stretched out both hands at the same time, one hand on Ma Xiaotao's shoulder and the other on Dai Yueheng's chest.
"It's over."
Both players were sent flying backwards and landed on the sidelines.
The entire hall fell silent.
Thirteen against one, the whole match lasted less than ten minutes, and they were all wiped out.
The thirteen regular and qualifying players, both on and off the field, were stunned to varying degrees, unable to believe it.
Lin Ciyan put away his Martial Soul, clapped his hands, as if he had only done a trivial thing.
He looked at the Xuan Zi, who were equally stunned on the sidelines, and asked:
" Xuan Zi, is there anything else? If not, I'm going to find Lexuan for dinner."
Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
This kid... he's already this strong?
