The arrow struck the ground and exploded, filling the air with toxic mist.
It was the venomous effect of the Man Faced Demon Spider.
Dai Mubai was caught off guard and inhaled the poison.
His movements stalled instantly.
In that very heartbeat.
A second arrow tore through the air.
Second Soul Skill: Soul-Piercing Spider Spear!
The arrow pierced through Dai Mubai's protective soul power.
It pinned him by the shoulder, blood flowing incessantly.
It carried a continuous bleeding effect that ignored 50% of defense.
Dai Mubai groaned and collapsed, losing his ability to fight.
Dai Mubai taken down in seconds again!
"Mubai!"
Ma Hongjun's eyes turned red as he spewed phoenix flames.
"Phoenix Fire Line!"
Ji Feng didn't even look, his figure shifting slightly.
His third soul ring flashed and vanished.
Third Soul Skill: Sunset Glow!
A beam of laser fire struck Ma Hongjun before he could finish his attack.
It wasn't an attack, but a slow effect!
The lava burn effect of the Earth King triggered.
Ma Hongjun's speed plummeted by 90%, as if he had fallen into a quagmire.
Immediately after, two Wind Demon Hound returned to assist.
Wind blades crisscrossed, knocking him out of bounds.
Ma Hongjun taken down in seconds!
Less than a minute into the match.
Four of the Shrek Seven Devils were already gone!
Only Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing remained.
The entire arena fell into a deathly silence.
This crushing strength was terrifying!
Tang San's face turned livid as he pushed his Mysterious Heaven Skill to the limit.
He finally realized it.
The combat style of this black-robed man.
That precision, that coldness, that one-hit-kill mentality.
And the way he commanded soul beasts like an extension of his own limbs.
It was exactly like that person!
"Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, fall back."
Tang San stepped forward, the Clear Sky Hammer still sheathed.
But his Mysterious Jade Hand was already quietly activated.
"I will deal with him."
The corners of Ji Feng's mouth curled up beneath his mask.
Finally, they were face to face.
He waved his hand, and the four Wind Demon Hound retreated to the edge of the arena.
He left the battlefield to the two of them.
"Who exactly are you?"
Tang San stared fixedly at the mask.
His Purple Demon Eye attempted to see through it.
But the mask seemed to be insulated by a special soul power.
"Win against me, and I'll tell you."
Ji Feng's voice was hoarse, intentionally disguised.
"As you wish!"
Tang San moved, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!
His figure dissolved into several afterimages as he closed in on Ji Feng.
Simultaneously, his first soul ring lit up.
First soul skill: Entanglement!
Blue Silver Grass surged wildly from the ground, coiling toward Ji Feng's feet.
Ji Feng did not dodge or evade, nor did he even activate a soul skill.
He simply fired a single, ordinary arrow.
The arrow suddenly split in mid-air!
Passive: Punishing Shot at max stacks!
The three arrows formed a triangular formation, sealing off Tang San's path.
Tang San was startled, using Mysterious Jade Hand to swat away two of them.
The third, however, grazed his cheek.
It left behind a trail of blood.
Such fast arrows!
Tang San was inwardly horrified; this technique of splitting arrows was unheard of.
Yet, his offensive did not falter, and he activated his second soul skill.
Second soul skill: Parasite!
The arrow that had grazed him had actually carried Blue Silver Grass spores.
At this moment, they instantly sprouted on Ji Feng's shoulder, binding him!
"Got you!"
A cold glint flashed in Tang San's eyes as his third soul ring shone brightly.
Third soul skill: Spider Web Restraint!
A massive web of Blue Silver Grass descended from above.
Dual control!
Seeing that Ji Feng was about to be completely restrained, the audience held their breath.
In the Imperial Fighting Team box.
Yu Tianheng shook his head: "It's over."
"Once controlled by Tang San, no one can break free."
Dugu Yan nodded as well: "What a pity, those four dogs were decent."
Ye Lingling watched in silence, her fingers tightening slightly.
On the field.
Ji Feng looked at the descending web and suddenly smiled.
"Is this it?"
With a surge of soul power from his shoulder, the parasitic Blue Silver Grass shattered into pieces.
At the same time, his second soul ring finally bloomed with light.
Second soul skill: Multiple Arrows!
He did not fire an arrow, but instead imbued the effect of the soul skill into his arm and swung it violently!
His longbow acted like a blade, carving out an arc.
An explosion of soul-powered arrow light tore the web to shreds!
"What?!"
Tang San's pupils constricted; his Spider Web Restraint had actually been broken by brute force?
What kind of terrifying attack power did that require?
Having shredded the web, Ji Feng did not stop.
He activated his first soul skill again, firing Punishing Shot in rapid succession!
Arrows rained down, engulfing Tang San.
Tang San pushed his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to its absolute limit.
Weaving through the rain of arrows, he found himself in extreme peril.
Yet, the suspicion in his eyes grew ever more intense.
This archery... this rhythm...
The scene of the soul ring being snatched away in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Came flooding into his mind!
"It's you!"
Tang San snapped his head up, his eyes bloodshot.
"In the Star Dou Great Forest, you stole my Man Faced Demon Spider!"
"You caused me to be captured by the Dragon Duke and Snake Matriarch!"
"Was it you?!"
He roared hoarsely, his usual composure completely shattered.
Ji Feng paused for a fraction of a second, neither admitting nor denying it.
But this silence was as good as an admission.
"It really was you!"
Tang San completely lost control, his killing intent soaring to the heavens.
New grudges and old hatreds exploded in this very moment!
Holding nothing back, the phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer manifested in his left hand.
Though he could not use it openly, he poured his soul power into it.
The power of his Mysterious Jade Hand surged!
"Show me your true face!"
Disregarding everything, Tang San took two arrows head-on.
He lunged in front of Ji Feng, his Mysterious Jade Hand reaching straight for the other's mask!
Ji Feng seemed "too slow" to dodge.
"Crack!"
The mask was ripped off by Tang San and shattered!
The black robe's hood was also torn away.
A young, handsome face, wearing a cold sneer.
Was completely exposed to everyone present!
The arena lights seemed to focus entirely on that face.
Time seemed to stand still.
Tang San's hand froze in mid-air.
His eyes widened to their limit, dense with bloodshot veins.
His lips trembled, and a voice squeezed out from his throat.
Hoarse, distorted, and filled with incredulous horror:
"Ji... Feng?!"
"You are actually Ji Feng!!!"
BOOM—!
The entire Soto Great Soul Arena fell silent for a heartbeat.
Then, an uproar erupted like a tsunami!
"Ji Feng? Which Ji Feng?"
"The one who was kicked out of the Imperial Fighting Team before!"
"The Ji Feng that Yu Tianheng called a piece of trash?!"
"Isn't he only level twenty-something? How is this possible!"
In the VIP box.
The entire Imperial Fighting Team looked as if they had been struck by lightning!
Yu Tianheng stood up abruptly, knocking over his chair.
He stared fixedly at that face in the arena.
The face he had mocked, looked down upon, and personally expelled.
At this moment, he wore the Gold Fighting Spirit Badge.
One against seven, crushing Shrek!
Fighting him to a standstill!
"Im... impossible!"
Yu Tianheng cried out, his face deathly pale.
"How is this possible!?"
Beside him, Dugu Yan, Shi Mo, Yu Feng, and Osler were all dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost.
That "trash" they had ostracized and looked down upon was actually the "Ghost" who had caused such a sensation?
The mysterious powerhouse who had achieved twenty consecutive victories and held a dual Gold Fighting Spirit badge?
The massive contrast struck every member of the Imperial Fighting Team like a heavy hammer.
Especially Yu Tianheng.
He recalled his own mockery from before.
He remembered his own words: "You are not qualified."
His face burned with a stinging pain.
The person he had called trash and personally kicked off the team was now standing in the center of the arena, receiving the attention and cheers of the entire crowd.
And he could only watch from here.
An unprecedented sense of humiliation and shock overwhelmed him.
In the arena, Ji Feng faced Tang San's monstrous killing intent, the uproar of the crowd, and the shocked gazes of the Imperial Fighting Team.
He slowly picked up the shattered pieces of his mask from the ground and tossed them aside.
Then, he raised his head and looked toward the VIP box.
His gaze happened to lock with the stunned Yu Tianheng.
A clear arc formed at the corner of Ji Feng's mouth.
He said nothing, but his eyes said it all.
Yu Tianheng shuddered and slumped back into his chair, his face ashen.
Ji Feng turned back to Tang San.
"Now that you know."
He flexed his wrists, and his Hou Yi Martial Soul shone brilliantly.
Three spirit rings rose in sequence: yellow, purple, purple!
The optimal configuration shocked the entire arena.
"Then..."
"Let's continue."
He drew his longbow, the arrow tip pointed directly at Tang San.
Old grudges and new, all to be settled in this battle.
