Feeling the hand pressing down on his head, Yan felt insulted. With low growls, he tried his best to break free from the pressure of that hand.
But things didn't go as planned. Yan could feel his forehead making contact with the ground more and more, as if the harder he tried, the closer his head got to the ground.
"No!" Suddenly, Yan realized that this was not his problem, but Wu Ling's problem. Compared with Wu Ling's strength, his strength was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.
"Second Spirit Skill, Granite Rock!" Yan, who was pinned to the ground, raised his right arm again, his rock fist, now several times larger, and slammed it wildly towards the arm pressing down on his head.
It was clearly a fist and an arm colliding, but the sound they made was like two hard rocks colliding.
"How can this guy's body be so hard!" Yan cursed inwardly. He was starting to regret his actions, but the thought of Hu Liena watching him turned that regret into rage.
"This guy actually made me lose face in front of Nana, it's unforgivable!" The furious Yan didn't realize that his current predicament was entirely his own fault.
"I can't use the first Spirit Skill, and the third Spirit Skill will hurt me, so I'll just keep using the second Spirit Skill. I don't believe he can last this long with only one arm!" Thinking of this, Yan planned to use the second Spirit Skill again to strengthen his left hand as well, but just then, he suddenly felt the hand pressing down on his head exert force.
"Ugh!" A pain from his head interrupted his Spirit Skill, and then Yan felt himself suspended in mid-air. Wu Ling had actually lifted him up by the head!
While being lifted into the air, Yan clenched his fist and punched Wu Ling, but before he could touch Wu Ling, he was slammed to the ground by Wu Ling's palm.
Then Wu Ling picked Yan up again, and Yan tried to fight back, but Wu Ling slammed him to the ground again...
This was repeated three times. Whether he was scared or passed out, Yan finally stopped attacking. At this moment, Hu Liena, who was still watching, couldn't bear it and stepped forward.
" Senior Brother Wu, Yan knows he was wrong, so please forgive him this time." Although she was indeed displeased that Yan had interrupted her, seeing Yan's miserable state now, her anger had subsided considerably. For the sake of their teacher, Wu Ling should give her some face, right?
Wu Ling glanced at Hu Liena with disdain at her attempts to dissuade him, then with a flick of his wrist, Yan flew straight toward Hu Liena.
Hu Liena reached out to stop the flying flames, and was about to express her gratitude, but Wu Ling's words made her stop speaking.
"All three of you, come at me together!"
Hu Liena pursed her lips. She had seen Yan's miserable state, and her and Xie Yue's strength were roughly equal to Yan's. If even Yan was defeated so easily, then even if she and Xie Yue went together, the result would be obvious.
While she certainly hates losing, she's not presumptuous enough to challenge a hopeless opponent. Most importantly, even with only a one percent chance, she doesn't want her face to be humiliated by someone she has no grudge against.
Hu Liena wanted to refuse, but after a few seconds of eye contact with Wu Ling, she knew that a fight was inevitable.
Therefore, she exchanged a glance with Xie Yue, who was already standing beside her, and then gently put Yan down.
" Demon Fox Possession!"
As Hu Liena's Martial Soul Possession, Xie Yue also summoned his Martial Soul, the Moon Blade. The two siblings didn't even need to say a word; they attacked the Wu Ling in perfect unison.
Five minutes later, Hu Liena and the other woman returned to Yan's side, panting.
God knows what they went through in those short five minutes!
The attack was completely useless, and the charm, once it entered the Wu Ling's consciousness, was like a stone sinking into the sea, completely unable to make a ripple!
It's important to understand that the reason these three were able to stand out among the crowd was because of their strength. Each of them had defeated a Spirit Master of the Soul Ancestor Soul Elder level, which was one of the reasons why Yan dared to challenge Wu Ling, the Soul King.
After all, Wu Ling has no publicly disclosed battle record, so his strength is unknown. These "geniuses" are no match for a Soul King who studies things every day. They can boast about just being able to fight to a draw or even be at a slight disadvantage, let alone defeat him.
But the result was completely different from what they had expected; their all-out attack couldn't even rouse Wu Ling.
" Xie Yue, Nana, Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
Just as Xie Yue and Hu Liena were still thinking about what to do, Yan, who had been lying on the ground, slowly got up and revealed their ultimate move— the Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
Moreover, because Yan summoned two people at the same time, they understood that what Yan wanted was not the dual Martial Soul Fusion Skill of him and Xie Yue, but the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of all three of them!
It should be noted that even a simple two-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill is rare and powerful enough, let alone a three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill. This is their greatest confidence in fighting against Wu Ling, because they once used this move to defeat a Spirit Master who had just been promoted to Soul King.
Hu Liena and Xie Yue nodded at the same time, and then the three of them held hands. With a burst of light, the three of them gradually merged into one.
From a distance, Wu Ling simply watched them zoom in, not even bothering to stop them.
As the light faded, a girl wearing a fox mask and asymmetrical clothing appeared before Wu Ling. She was none other than the three's Martial Soul Fusion Skill — Demon Charm!
"Take this! Purple Flame Barrage!"
The girl raised her hand, and a crescent-shaped blade wreathed in purple flames appeared above her head. Then, the blade kept replicating itself, and countless blades flew towards Wu Ling in a straight line.
Originally, this move was an area-of-effect skill, but Hu Liena changed it to a single-target attack in order to deal with Wu Ling. In her heart, she no longer intended to defeat Wu Ling; as long as she could hurt Wu Ling or make him move a few steps, that would be enough to satisfy her.
But the next second, Wu Ling abruptly shattered her idea, because even with this continuous barrage of attacks, Wu Ling was neither able to move or be injured in the slightest.
The attack lasted for a minute. Seeing that Wu Ling was unharmed, she prepared a powerful attack for another three minutes. Three minutes later, a huge flame blade, three meters long, slashed towards Wu Ling, but Wu Ling still took the attack without dodging.
After the smoke cleared, Wu Ling's figure slowly emerged, but the moment Wu Ling Hu Liena saw him again, she was filled with despair. Wu Ling Wu Ling Soul Power. In other words, he had completely withstood the attack with his physical body. This level of physical strength was probably something even Titled Douluo wouldn't possess!
Are you a monster?!
As soon as Hu Liena finished speaking, she saw Wu Ling's figure disappear. The next moment, a tremendous force struck her ankle, and she was lifted up by Wu Ling!
"Monster? I'm not that kind of ugly thing. I'm just a human being blessed by Heroic Spirit."
Upon hearing Wu Ling's words, before Hu Liena could even think about it, she felt a sense of weightlessness, accompanied by repeated impacts.
Wu Ling grabbed her ankle and threw her to the ground again and again. Hu Liena tried to break free, but the repeated impacts made her mind wander.
Finally, when Wu Ling swung the weapon for the ninth time, Hu Liena and the other two disintegrated.
Wu Ling looked at Hu Liena, whom he was carrying, her perfect figure on full display before his eyes.
But Wu Ling only glanced at her before unceremoniously tossing her onto Xie Yue and Yan.
Finally, Wu Ling couldn't resist taunting, "Such a weak Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
