Lin Yuan: ...
Had it really matched him against a Soul King?
And a damn peak five-ring Soul King at that!
She couldn't have Battle Armor too, could she?!
Was this matchmaking smart or reasonable at all?
Lin Yuan raised his brows slightly.
Ling Yiyi, huh? Looks like the people watching are all from Shrek's group, right?
How hateful. If you people booked out the audience seats, how was I, Zoffy, supposed to spread my fame far and wide?
Still, Ling Yiyi had been a fairly well-written supporting character in the original work, but her Martial Soul hadn't been mentioned.
He hadn't expected her Martial Soul to be Healing Angel.
Lin Yuan did not let his guard down just because she was a support-type Soul Master. Those people from Shrek were rotten to the core. No matter how good a child was, once they entered Shrek, they would turn into the wicked Shrek mold.
There's no telling if she'll give me one hell of a surprise.
As thoughts stormed through his mind, Lin Yuan observed his surroundings and swept them once with his Spiritual Power.
Huh, this life energy...
Lin Yuan was a little surprised. The life energy inside the arena was boiling, almost filling the area around the field, but its quality was light and clear.
"The quality of the life energy here seems quite light," Lin Yuan said thoughtfully.
Then, looking at Ling Yiyi, a Singularity appeared in his right hand.
"Zoffy, Martial Soul: Elemental Orb."
"You really are as arrogant as Teacher said," Ling Yiyi said with a smile.
"Actually..."
Suddenly, Ling Yiyi's expression changed sharply. She spread both hands and shouted softly, "Martial Soul possession!"
In an instant, an angel with three pairs of emerald wings, radiating a gentle light of life, slowly appeared behind Ling Yiyi and fused with her.
Ling Yiyi's eyes instantly turned emerald, and a pair of emerald wings grew from her back as she slowly rose into the air.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Yiyi clenched her fist and smashed it toward Lin Yuan!
In the audience seats, Zheng Longjiang froze when he saw Ling Yiyi's decision. She actually activated Martial Soul possession and charged straight in?
Zheng Longjiang looked at Ying Luohong oddly and said, "Dean, don't tell me this is the tactic you designed for Senior Sister?"
Ying Luohong said calmly, "That's right. Ling Yiyi and I discussed it. Zoffy's Spiritual Power is extremely high, and his Martial Soul is the Elemental Orb. That means he has an innate, exceptional talent when it comes to clashes of Soul Skills."
"In that case, it would be better to give up long-range exchanges and fight him at close range. Even if she cannot beat him, Ling Yiyi can still use her life energy to decide the match in one stroke. This venue was carefully chosen by me."
"Dean, your decision is simply too wise. Senior Sister Ling has an extremely high affinity with life energy, and her Soul Power is that of a five-ring Soul King. She'll have a constant stream of life energy replenishing her. She's practically invincible."
Zheng Longjiang successfully delivered a round of flattery.
And Ling Yiyi in the Soul Fighting Arena was indeed carrying it out that way.
When she had charged halfway, Lin Yuan stretched out both hands. In an instant, a violent wind rose, sending sand and stones flying.
Amid the sandstorm, Ling Yiyi was constantly harassed by small stones slamming into her, and her speed was immediately affected to a certain extent.
"This kind of environment can't affect me."
Ling Yiyi's speed erupted suddenly, and she arrived before Lin Yuan almost in the blink of an eye.
"Zoffy, as someone who controls elements, don't you know that the smaller the contact area, the less wind affects someone?"
Without any hesitation, Ling Yiyi brought her hands together and raised them above her head, crying out, "Redemption Slash!"
In an instant, a halo interwoven with emerald green and pure white rippled out around Ling Yiyi, and her first Soul Ring lit up.
In the next moment, a ten-meter-long greatsword formed and chopped heavily toward Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan dodged aside at extreme speed, but from this angle, how could he face that ten-meter-long sword of light?
A smile immediately curved Ling Yiyi's lips.
Yet just as it was about to hit Lin Yuan, he suddenly opened his hand.
Boom!
A pushing force similar to repulsion erupted all at once. The air seemed to let out a wail, and invisible ripples seemed to cross ten million miles in an instant, striking Ling Yiyi at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
Ling Yiyi's mind went blank.
Lin Yuan only barely reacted after being sent flying dozens of meters. He stabbed his lightsword into the ground, steadied himself, and gasped for breath in great heaving gulps.
Zoffy's control over the wind element was actually this ingenious!
After driving the wind element just now, he had used the wind element again. That was not a quality an ordinary elemental Soul Master possessed.
How fast had that been just now?
At the very least, a hundred meters per second, right?
One had to know, the speed of a normal hurricane was only about thirty meters per second, and anything above fifty meters per second was already called a severe hurricane!
So how absurd was that hundred meters just now?
Ling Yiyi had no doubt that if it had been an ordinary person or a weak Soul Master, their internal organs would have been blown apart long ago.
"Those powerful Soul Skills you're so proud of are what you call life energy?"
Lin Yuan seemed to be asking, yet also confirming something.
"That hardly seems like a question worth discussing. So long as life does not fade, I will not be defeated. First Soul Skill, Redemption Slash!"
Ling Yiyi gave a low shout. Life energy gathered around her once more, and green light flared brightly. She used the lightsword again, slashing toward Lin Yuan.
This time, the lightsword was even larger than before. It had already swelled to twenty meters in length as it charged toward Lin Yuan again.
Generally speaking, this already belonged in the category of a killing move, with an enormous cost, but looking at Ling Yiyi, she was still full of spirit.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yuan shot into the sky.
"Don't run!"
Ling Yiyi shouted and rushed after Lin Yuan, following his steps. Every step was measured with precision. Watching Ling Yiyi draw closer and closer, Lin Yuan stretched out his right hand again.
"He still wants to use that move!"
Ling Yiyi's heart tightened. Just as she was about to defend herself, she saw Lin Yuan's speed suddenly increase sharply, reaching an inconceivable level, almost half the speed of sound.
The distance between them widened once more.
Ling Yiyi, who should have been the ruler of the sky, had abruptly had her position taken by Lin Yuan.
Not only that, Lin Yuan even turned back from time to time and extended his right hand.
Ling Yiyi thought Lin Yuan wanted to repeat his old trick, but in the next second, her entire body was blasted into the ground!
Finally, after more than ten seconds, Lin Yuan suddenly fired a Shinra Tensei backward.
Ling Yiyi, who had no time to dodge, had her beautiful right cheek knocked sharply to the right.
Ling Yiyi's right cheek twisted sideways.
Lin Yuan did not let up after gaining the advantage. He burst into acceleration again, and the speed of sound suddenly erupted.
Lin Yuan could feel that under this acceleration, his skin already had a faint burning sensation, as if even his body could not adapt in an instant to this sudden acceleration.
Lin Yuan arrived behind Ling Yiyi, then threw another punch.
An invisible gust struck out again.
Ling Yiyi was sent flying once more, hurtling east. Lin Yuan threw another punch.
After that, Lin Yuan kept changing positions, firing one Shinra Tensei after another.
In the end, Lin Yuan arrived above Ling Yiyi, took a deep breath, and fired another Shinra Tensei.
Bang!
Ling Yiyi was like an angel with broken wings, her body almost embedded in the ground.
Just as she was about to stand up, Lin Yuan appeared in the sky and looked down at her. Seeing the green halo flickering around Ling Yiyi's body, Lin Yuan's brows furrowed tightly.
"Could this be one of Ling Yiyi's other Soul Skills? That recovery speed is seriously troublesome."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath and swung both fists continuously at extreme speed.
Shinra Tensei, Shinra Tensei...
Bang, bang, bang!
The force smashed into the ground, kicking up vast clouds of dust that almost blocked the view of everyone in the audience seats.
Ling Yiyi only felt as if a speeding car was crashing into her again and again. The power might not sound very intuitive.
To put it this way, Lin Yuan could easily send a two-ton object flying at a speed of one hundred and eighty meters per second. That was 648 kilometers per hour!
And most importantly, Lin Yuan's thirty consecutive shots had not paused at all, so the damage they caused was not that simple.
"Aaaah!"
That shrill cry spread throughout the entire audience area.
In an instant, thirty consecutive Shinra Tensei were fired.
