Pure Domination, the Failed Spiritual Shock!

The referee stood at the center of the arena, sweeping his gaze from side to side to confirm that both teams were in position.

"Both sides are ready. The match officially begins!"

As the referee forcefully swung down his raised right arm, the air at both ends of the arena instantly grew thick, and the explosive scent of colliding Soul Power erupted.

The three opponents reacted extremely quickly.

Brilliant light flared behind Wang Dong, and a pair of dazzling blue-gold wings unfurled in an instant. The noble aura of the Light Goddess Butterfly rose along with one yellow and one purple Spirit Ring.

Beside her, Wang Gang let out a low shout. The muscles in his arms bulged, and a heavy shield condensed before him as earthy yellow Soul Power flowed across its surface.

As for Huo Yuhao, standing at the very back, a pale white gleam lit up in his eyes, while the lone white Spirit Ring beneath his feet began to flash.

Almost at the same time, Ning Tian's side moved as well.

Gorgeous seven-colored light blossomed in Ning Tian's palm, and the foot-tall Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spun into existence.

Without the slightest hesitation, her first Spirit Ring lit up.

"Seven Treasures Have Names, first: Speed!"

Two brilliant streams of seven-colored light shot forth, accurately entering Wu Feng and Xiao Xiao's bodies ahead.

With the speed enhancement, a red gleam flashed in Wu Feng's eyes, and fine crimson dragon scales instantly covered her right arm.

She stomped heavily on the ground, transforming into a red fiery meteor as she charged straight at Wang Dong.

Xiao Xiao refused to be outdone. With a wave of her right hand, she swung the massive, heavy Soul Suppressing Cauldron one-handed. Her petite body carried an unreasonable brute force as she met the shield-wielding Wang Gang head-on.

The two battlefields collided at the center of the arena.

Wang Dong had always been immensely confident in herself, especially now that her mind was linked to Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing.

From her omniscient perspective, Wu Feng's charging path and the points where her muscles exerted force were all clearly marked.

She confidently spread her wings, her first Spirit Ring lighting up. The edges of her wings instantly became razor-sharp blades, and she unleashed a tricky Wing Guillotine at Wu Feng's approach.

But the instant they clashed, Wang Dong's expression changed.

Wu Feng did not charge forward and meet her head-on like an ordinary assault-type soul master.

During the battles in the Dream Arena, she had long learned how to rein in that useless ferocity and how to make precise adjustments while moving at high speed.

Facing the descending Wing Guillotine, Wu Feng's shoulder strangely sank half an inch, and her feet completed an unbelievable displacement at high speed.

The Wing Guillotine slashed down almost against the tip of her nose, yet did not even touch her dragon scales.

Immediately afterward, Wu Feng swung a claw backhanded, blazing with Red Dragon Fire, and viciously clawed at Wang Dong's poorly defended flank.

Even with Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection warning her, Wang Dong's body simply could not react quickly enough to keep up with the Wu Feng enhanced by the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

She could only fold her wings together and take the claw head-on. The immense force sent her staggering backward, and she fell into a disadvantage from the very start.

The battle on the other side was even more brutal.

Wang Gang slammed his shield heavily into the ground, unleashing all of his earthy yellow Soul Power and assuming his strongest defensive stance in an attempt to withstand Xiao Xiao's charge.

Xiao Xiao looked at the shield, a lovely curve lifting at the corners of her lips.

She swung her right arm in a full arc, and a dark golden gleam flickered faintly beneath the sleeve of her school uniform.

The 60,000-year Earth-Shaking Desolate Bear Right Arm Bone skill, Desolate Bear Earth-Splitting Strike!

"Clang—!"

The sound of metal striking metal rang throughout the arena.

The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron smashed viciously into the shield.

Wang Gang had thought he could withstand it, but he was completely wrong.

A high-frequency shockwave pierced through the heavy shield, transmitting directly into Wang Gang's arms before brutally burrowing into his internal organs.

Wang Gang's arms instantly went numb, and his chest felt as though it had been struck by lightning.

His throat sweetened, and he sprayed out a mouthful of blood.

The shield he had taken such pride in flew from his grasp. The force, imbued with shockwave properties, lifted both his feet off the ground and sent him sliding toward the edge of the arena. He was about to fall out of bounds.

Huo Yuhao, who had remained at the rear, went pale when he saw this.

He knew perfectly well that the key reason for this one-sided crushing was the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda soul master at the back, who was continuously providing a massive speed boost.

He had to interrupt Ning Tian's enhancement!

Huo Yuhao fixed his eyes on Ning Tian in the distance, purple-gold light blazing deep within his pupils.

Purple Demon Eye and Spiritual Shock combined perfectly, transforming into an invisible mental spike that crossed half the arena and stabbed viciously into Ning Tian's Sea of Consciousness.

Ning Tian, who was holding the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda as she observed the situation, suddenly shuddered.

A sharp pain pierced her mind, and her golden-blue eyes went blank for an instant.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao was delighted. As long as Ning Tian's Soul Power output was cut off, Wang Dong and Wang Gang would have a chance to catch their breath.

However, his joy did not even last half a second.

Ning Tian merely gave a soft snort, shook her head, and her eyes instantly regained their clarity.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her hand remained as steady as a mountain. Even Wu Feng and Xiao Xiao, fighting on the front lines, did not feel the slightest weakening in their speed enhancement.

Huo Yuhao froze on the spot.

How was this possible?

His Spiritual Shock had never failed him. Why did this support-type soul master seem completely unaffected?

How could he know that Ning Tian's repeated experiences in the Dream Arena had pushed her mind to its limits, giving her exceptionally high mental resilience?

The Spiritual Shock Huo Yuhao took such pride in was now no more than slightly stinging static electricity to Ning Tian.

"Bang!"

Another dull impact rang out.

Xiao Xiao pressed her advantage, catching up and following with another cauldron strike.

Wang Gang, already off balance, could no longer hold on. He crossed the white line and crashed heavily beneath the arena.

"Wang Gang is out of bounds and eliminated!" the referee announced without hesitation.

The outcome seemed beyond doubt.

Xiao Xiao recalled the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, then turned toward Wang Dong, who was still struggling to hold on. She exchanged a look with Wu Feng.

"Wu Feng, stop playing around. Let's send her down!" Xiao Xiao called crisply, carrying the black cauldron as she moved to surround Wang Dong.

Facing the two-pronged pincer attack, fine beads of sweat formed on Wang Dong's forehead.

Even with Spiritual Detection Sharing, defeat was only a matter of time before the absolute gap in speed and strength.

At that critical moment, Huo Yuhao's anxious voice rang in Wang Dong's mind through their spiritual connection.

"Retreat! Come to me!"

Wang Dong immediately understood. She stopped trying to block Wu Feng's dragon claws, and the brilliant blue-gold wings behind her beat fiercely.

At the same time, the purple thousand-year Spirit Ring on her body shone brightly.

Second soul skill, Butterfly Goddess Light!

More than a hundred dazzling blue-gold spheres of light sprayed from her wings, carrying terrifying destructive power as they rained down upon Xiao Xiao and Wu Feng, who were closing in from both sides.

The power of this thousand-year soul skill was far from ordinary.

Xiao Xiao and Wu Feng had no choice but to temporarily avoid its edge. Xiao Xiao held the massive cauldron horizontally before herself to block the blast waves, while Wu Feng performed several consecutive backflips to pull away.

Using the brief opening created by Butterfly Goddess Light, Wang Dong folded her wings and rapidly glided backward, landing steadily beside Huo Yuhao.

The two exchanged no words. Huo Yuhao opened his arms, Wang Dong rushed straight into them, and they embraced tightly.
