Bloodline Talent - Sacrifice

Ye Fan and Ye Guyi exchanged a glance.

Ye Fan followed the plan and unleashed the Death Angel's first soul skill—Angel Summon.

A thousand-year Dark Burst Demon Wolf, a five-thousand-year Dark Magic Pattern Bear, and a ten-thousand-year Wind Demon Wolf King abruptly condensed around the Death Angel martial soul.

Without Li Yan's hateful Li Fire to counter them, Ye Fan was still very confident in his three soul-beast spirits.

As Ye Fan released his soul skill, Ma Rulong and Chen Fei had already assigned their tactics.

Chen Fei flew toward Ye Guyi, the soul cannons around him bombarding her as if they cost nothing.

Ye Guyi relied on the Holy Angel's extreme speed to move frantically, but that also meant she could not look after Ye Fan for the time being.

On Ye Fan's side, Ma Rulong's soul cannons locked onto him, but he did not fire directly.

Instead, he waited until Ye Fan finished releasing his first soul skill.

Only then did he say, "Kid, you're done releasing your soul skill. Now it's my turn to attack."

As he spoke, the soul cannons around Ma Rulong lit up.

One look told Ye Fan that their power was far beyond that of ordinary Class 3 soul cannons.

So Ye Fan said nothing, jumped onto the ten-thousand-year Wind Demon Wolf King, and released the Death Angel's second soul skill—Death Devour.

The dark angel wings behind him folded over and wrapped around his body, blocking Ma Rulong's terrifying assault.

The moment Ma Rulong's cannon fire closed in on Ye Fan's angel wings, Ye Fan realized he had overplayed his hand.

Because he sensed that Ma Rulong's cannon fire was not Class 3 or Class 4 at all, but genuine Class 5 soul cannons.

That also meant the property of his second soul skill, which could originally absorb damage one rank higher, had been completely neutralized.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan immediately made a decision.

He ordered the Wind Demon Wolf King to block in front of him, while he swiftly withdrew his wings and flashed to the side.

Rumble!

Under a round of cannon fire, Ye Fan's ten-thousand-year Wind Demon Wolf King was blasted until it was mangled beyond recognition.

"Ye Fan!"

At that moment, Ye Guyi also noticed what was happening on Ye Fan's side.

She wanted to break away and rescue Ye Fan, but Chen Fei pinned her down tightly.

Chen Fei's Lightning Bird was also known for its high speed, so under normal circumstances, Ye Guyi simply could not get away.

Left with no choice, Ye Guyi snapped at Chen Fei, "Move, or die."

As she spoke, a terrifying aura erupted from Ye Guyi, far surpassing that of an ordinary Soul Ancestor and faintly approaching the presence of a Soul King.

It frightened Chen Fei so badly that he almost lost control of his flight.

But Chen Fei had not grown up on fear either, and he still stubbornly pressed her down, refusing to yield.

And so, next, he would experience a painful memory he would never want to recall for the rest of his life.

He saw Ye Guyi say, "Chen Fei, since you're seeking death, don't blame me!"

"Bloodline Talent—Sacrifice!"

Pale golden flames suddenly surged up from Ye Guyi's entire body. Her Holy Angel bloodline was fully ignited, her strength skyrocketed threefold, her hair shimmered with dazzling golden light, and the Holy Angel wings of light spread and enlarged.

Chen Fei's overwhelming soul cannon shells struck the holy light and melted away completely, unable to get anywhere near her.

In an instant, Ye Guyi rushed in front of Chen Fei, raised her hand, and slammed a heavy punch into his chest. Immediately after, she lifted her leg and kicked him hard, then grabbed his shoulder and threw punch after punch. Every blow carried dense holy power, shattering Chen Fei's protective soul tool barrier layer by layer and sending him flying back again and again with miserable screams, leaving him no strength to stop her in the slightest.

By then, Lin Jiayi at the edge of the field had long since noticed the change in Ye Guyi.

Seeing her combat strength surge so sharply in an instant, he was also startled.

He hurried forward to stop her.

But as an angel soul master, Ye Guyi was simply too fast—so fast that before he could stop her, she had already finished everything.

Fortunately, Ye Guyi's purpose was only to save Ye Fan, so she had not truly dealt Chen Fei a killing blow.

Lin Jiayi caught the dying Chen Fei in midair.

He watched helplessly as Ye Guyi flew off to rescue Ye Fan.

He set Chen Fei on the ground and handed him over to the students nearby, then flew back onto the battlefield himself, wanting to dissuade Ye Guyi.

But Ye Guyi's speed was still too fast.

Before he could arrive, she had already started fighting Ma Rulong.

At that moment, Ye Guyi did not care whether Ma Rulong was a Class 5 soul engineer or not.

She opened with close-quarters hand-to-hand combat.

Crack, crack!

With just two punches, she shattered Ma Rulong's Class 5 defensive shield.

In the face of Ye Guyi's violent assault, Ma Rulong was suffering bitterly.

Ye Guyi's speed was far too fast now. He simply had no time to aim before she dodged away, so at this moment, he was completely stuck taking a beating.

In the end, after his defensive shield shattered, Ma Rulong had no choice but to concede. "I admit defeat!"

Because he had no idea whether he would still be alive by the end of the match if this kept going.

In his heart, the match was important, but his life was even more important.

Lin Jiayi was currently standing guard at the edge of their battlefield. When he heard Ma Rulong admit defeat, his whole body relaxed in relief.

He immediately moved to stop Ye Guyi and shouted sternly, "Ye Guyi, the match is over!"

Only then did Ye Guyi stop, glaring fiercely at Ma Rulong.

That look seemed to say, "Just you wait. If anything happens to Ye Fan, I won't let you off."

As Lin Jiayi announced, "The champion of Class 1, Year 3's third monthly exam is Ye Fan and Ye Guyi."

Only then did Ye Guyi turn around and quickly search for Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was not in good shape either. During that previous barrage of high-energy fifth-rank soul cannon shells, although he had made the Wind Demon Wolf King stand in front of him, the shockwaves from the violent explosions had still injured his main body.

Fortunately, Ye Fan possessed an extremely powerful life force, which was why he had not died.

However, this also warned him, I have to increase my strength quickly.

Ye Guyi soon found Ye Fan.

Ye Fan also saw Ye Guyi rushing over at high speed.

Ye Guyi was the first to ask with a worried expression, "Xiao Fan, are you all right?"

Ye Fan's gaze, however, fell on Ye Guyi. "Sister, what happened to you?"

As the possessor of the Life Angel, Ye Fan keenly sensed the rapid loss of Ye Guyi's life essence around her.

This was not the kind of life force lost from ordinary injuries, which could be replenished. This was a person's life essence, the thing tied to how many years they could live.

It was just like the life essence Ye Fan had sacrificed for thirty years to revive Qian Daoliu.

Barring any accident, Ye Fan would never be able to replenish it in his lifetime.

Because of that, Ye Fan anxiously pressed Ye Guyi, "Sister, tell me, did you use some forbidden soul skill?"

"Why have you lost so much of your life essence?"

Hearing this, Ye Guyi knew she could not hide it from Ye Fan's eyes.

So she pretended to be relaxed and said, "The situation happened too suddenly just now, so I used the Holy Angel's innate soul skill—bloodline talent—Sacrifice~"

"I sacrificed ten years of my lifespan."

Ye Guyi watched Ye Fan's expression grow uglier and uglier.

She continued adding, "Xiao Fan, don't worry. It's only ten years of lifespan. As our cultivation increases, our life essence will still grow."

But Ye Fan did not buy that at all. His expression was extremely grim.

At this moment, he finally understood how Ye Guyi had felt back then when she heard that he had sacrificed thirty years of his life essence to revive Qian Daoliu.

"Heaven really spares no one."

Seeing Ye Fan like this, Ye Guyi said, "Xiao Fan, if you want to scold me, then scold me."

"I promise I won't do it again next time."

But in her heart, Ye Guyi added, As if.

At this moment, as time passed, Ye Guyi's face became increasingly weak and pale.

In the end, Ye Guyi could barely keep herself steady.

Hearing this, Ye Fan's eyes reddened as he worked hard to calm himself and said, "Sister, why would I scold you?"

"It's only ten years of life force. I promise you, I'll replenish it for you very soon."

In Ye Fan's heart, he planned to bring forward that secret plan of his. But first, what Ye Fan wanted was to take Ye Guyi away from this place.

As he spoke, Ye Fan picked up Ye Guyi, who was incomparably weak after using the forbidden technique, and left the competition grounds without looking back.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen quickly followed.

Behind them, Lin Jiayi announced, "As the first-place winners of the monthly exam, Ye Fan and Ye Guyi will gain priority access to class resources."

"Medicinal baths, metals, soul tools, and so on~!"
