"That Gu Yue is acting very strange, we must interrupt her!"

Wang Jinxi let out a low growl. Relying on the fact that a quarter of his body was currently in a state of intangibility, he was the first to charge out.

Tang Wulin did not hesitate, swinging his Thousand-Refined Sinking Silver Hammer with fierce determination. He knew well that Wang Jinxi's strength was not to be underestimated, and Xie Xie would certainly be unable to block him.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The Thousand-Refined Sinking Silver Hammer struck accurately and without error against the parts of Wang Jinxi's body that had not yet turned intangible.

After all, this was a Thousand-Refined Sinking Silver Hammer, and combined with Tang Wulin's force, each strike carried a weight of over a thousand kilograms.

It was fortunate that the Bone Dragon King Martial Soul had bestowed upon Wang Jinxi powerful defenses.

Otherwise, if this were any ordinary Soul Elder, they would not have been able to withstand more than a few hammer strikes.

After several exchanges, Wang Jinxi stumbled backward, swaying slightly, and the quarter of his body that had been intangible began to gradually return to normal.

Why is he able to hit me so precisely even while using such a heavy hammer?

This was the one thing Wang Jinxi could not fathom; after all, he was not a blacksmith and could not comprehend it at all.

However, for Tang Wulin, he had long since viewed Wang Jinxi as a piece of metal. Every strike he made was an act of forging, and since it was forging, how could he possibly miss!

But at this moment, three figures of Wei Xiaofeng suddenly appeared behind Tang Wulin, green light flashing as they launched a direct attack.

What they did not know was that Tang Wulin's mental power was actually quite formidable, even stronger than many of his peers. The moment Wei Xiaofeng appeared behind him, he had already sensed him.

"Blue Silver Cage!"

The thousand-year soul ring at Tang Wulin's feet lit up instantly. In almost a heartbeat, a large amount of Blue Silver Grass, marked with faint gold patterns, appeared behind him.

The Gold-Patterned Blue Silver Grass no longer felt fragile. They intertwined and wove together, forming a cage that trapped all three of Wei Xiaofeng's figures inside.

This was a method of utilizing Blue Silver Grass that Tang Wulin had created himself under the guidance of Wu Zhangkong during their special training over the past few days.

Of course, this method was limited to the Gold-Patterned Blue Silver Grass. If it did not carry a trace of the Golden Dragon King's power, the strength of Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass would have been easily broken by the enemy.

As soon as the Blue Silver Cage appeared, the two fake Wei Xiaofengs immediately vanished.

"Hahaha!" Xie Xie laughed out loud when he saw this scene. "Well done, Wulin! Let's see how you run now?"

Trapped inside the Blue Silver Cage, Wei Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and glared at the smug Xie Xie. His hands never stopped moving as he continuously tried to slash through the Blue Silver Grass.

Yet, the grass was terrifyingly sturdy. He had never seen Blue Silver Grass this tough before. Even though he was trying his hardest, he was still at least several seconds away from breaking free.

Zhang Yangzi also arrived above the Blue Silver Cage at this moment, intending to help Wei Xiaofeng cut through the vines.

But Xie Xie would never let him succeed, immediately rushing up to engage him in combat.

On the other side, Tang Wulin raised the Thousand-Refined Sinking Silver Hammer in his hand. As long as he held the hammer over Wei Xiaofeng's head, Long Hengxu would surely rule Wei Xiaofeng out.

"Clang!"

A dull, heavy clanging sound rang out.

Wang Jinxi had arrived in time to block Wei Xiaofeng, raising his Bone Dragon Claw to intercept Tang Wulin's Thousand-Refined Sinking Silver Hammer.

At the very last second, Wei Xiaofeng finally broke free.

But just at that moment, a sudden gale swept across the arena.

"Look, what is that?"

A student off-stage suddenly pointed behind Tang Wulin.

Hearing this, many people turned their gazes toward the area behind Tang Wulin on the stage.

"My God!"

Someone let out a startled cry.

A terrifying surge of elemental energy was radiating from behind Tang Wulin.

Standing in that position was... Gu Yue!

Seeing this, Wu Zhangkong's eyes flickered. He had witnessed this move of Gu Yue's during their special training over the past two nights. Even with his cultivation as a Soul Emperor, he had still been forced to release his own Martial Soul to withstand it.

And this move was none other than an Elemental Combination.

This was also why Wu Zhangkong had been so shocked when he saw Gu Yue controlling multiple elements.

One had to know that when two soul masters of different elements combined their powers to launch a combined elemental attack, it was usually very powerful, and such a phenomenon often led to the emergence of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Yet Gu Yue could master multiple elements all by herself, capable of unleashing an Elemental Combination attack on her own. Although it did not reach the intensity of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it still made her strength far exceed that of an ordinary one-ring soul master.

Currently, there were only two Elemental Combinations that Gu Yue could perform.

They were Ice plus Wind, and Earth plus Fire.

The freezing ice and the raging wind formed an Extreme Ice Storm across the entire arena.

The earth and fire, meanwhile, created a large amount of magma beneath the stage.

"Oh no, get out of the way!"

Wang Jinxi shouted. He knew that while he might be able to withstand this attack by relying on the powerful defense granted by the Bone Dragon King, Wei Xiaofeng and Zhang Yangzi would likely not be able to block it.

But was it really possible to dodge it?

The half of the arena where Wang Jinxi and his two companions stood was shrouded in a raging Extreme Ice Storm, and the area of effect was shrinking toward the center, growing more powerful with every contraction.

The massive amount of ice shards generated by the Extreme Ice Storm made it impossible for Zhang Yangzi to take flight.

Furthermore, one must not forget the vast amount of magma formed by the combination of earth and fire elements beneath the arena, which now began to surge toward the feet of Wang Jinxi and his companions on a large scale.

"Damn it! Is there no way to dodge?" Wang Jinxi's eyes turned slightly red; he still had the chance to save either Wei Xiaofeng or Zhang Yangzi.

But who should he save?

Standing in the corner of the arena, Long Hengxu was also somewhat dumbfounded by this scene.

Is this truly an attack that a one-ring Soul Master is capable of unleashing?

However, shock was shock; he had already prepared to intervene at any moment to save either Wei Xiaofeng or Zhang Yangzi, depending on whom Wang Jinxi chose to abandon.

Standing at the very center of the Extreme Ice Storm, Wang Jinxi gritted his teeth. A multitude of ice cones continuously slashed at his body, but they left behind only minor scratches at most and could not truly harm him. He had truly not expected this Class Five to be so formidable.

But time did not allow him much room for consideration; if he did not make a decision soon, he would not be able to save anyone.

Quickly, Wang Jinxi gritted his teeth and leaped to Zhang Yangzi's side. He had chosen to save Zhang Yangzi, though the reason for this remained unknown.

The moment Wang Jinxi made his choice, Long Hengxu moved, arriving at the center of the Extreme Ice Storm to rescue Wei Xiaofeng; otherwise, Wei Xiaofeng would truly have been burned alive by the magma.

Yet at this moment, Gu Yue ceased the attack of the two combined elements, for there was no longer any need. The defensive power of the Bone Dragon King was simply too strong; as a one-ring Soul Master, Gu Yue still could not injure Wang Jinxi. Moreover, maintaining an attack of this magnitude was a massive drain on her, and her Soul Power was now nearly exhausted, leaving her with virtually no combat capability.

"I've been waiting for you to make your choice!"

Xie Xie let out a loud shout, and the moment the Extreme Ice Storm vanished, he and Tang Wulin charged toward the two of them.

Strike while the iron is hot; Xie Xie and Tang Wulin had no intention of giving the two a chance to catch their breath.

Xie Xie unleashed his Light Dragon Slash directly, aiming straight for the vitals of Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi.

In truth, Tang Wulin had acted a split second faster than Xie Xie; he manipulated his Gold-Patterned Blue Silver Grass to bind his Thousand-Refined Sinking Silver Hammer and swung it toward the pair.

Xie Xie needed Tang Wulin to break through Wang Jinxi's final defense before delivering the finishing blow to both of them.

"I underestimated you all. I must now admit that you are indeed very strong, but this is where it ends for you." Wang Jinxi gripped Zhang Yangzi's hand and said in a deep voice.

"Still talking big!" Xie Xie sneered.
