Ling Yiyi, Bursting

Off the field, Hua Linhan couldn't hold it in anymore and cried out, "He's actually flying that fast? The wind element can be used like that? How are we supposed to fight this?!"

Their original plan had been based on Lin Yuan's low aerial mobility, with Ling Yiyi relying on her advantage in the sky to continuously wear him down.

But aside from the very beginning, when Ling Yiyi had looked like a female warrior, she had been completely suppressed by Zoffy in the very next second, beaten into an utterly miserable state!

Dust filled the air, the murky yellow haze almost obscuring the entire arena.

It made it impossible to see the figure inside clearly.

Lin Yuan's gaze gradually grew solemn, and he panted lightly.

Too terrifying. Using Shinra Tensei thirty times in a row without pause actually burned through a full tenth of my Soul Power!

But at this rate of consumption, fighting ten Soul Kings really wouldn't be much of a problem.

On the Soul Fighting Arena, a pit had already appeared, roughly two and a half meters in diameter and seven meters deep.

Suddenly, a sharp cry came from the bottom of the pit.

"Are you done messing around?!"

The next second, Ling Yiyi shot out violently, her eyes fixed tightly on Lin Yuan as she gasped for breath in great gulps.

Miserable. Too miserable!

Armor had appeared over the joints all across Ling Yiyi's body, and the light helmet on her head had been smashed halfway apart. The pretty face it revealed was no longer like before; her entire face was bruised and swollen.

"Battle Armor's defense is indeed very strong, but its force-dispersion isn't instantaneous."

Lin Yuan looked down at Ling Yiyi at the bottom of the pit from above, his voice calm.

"It needs an extremely short time to spread out the impact, but I won't give it that time. If you're in other battles, you need to pay attention to this point, or you'll lose your life."

Ling Yiyi's voice was icy.

"You beat me into this state, and you're still acting so high and mighty. Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

Lin Yuan sighed, then extended his palm again. Ling Yiyi's eyelid twitched slightly, and she couldn't help saying, "What are you trying to do?"

At that moment, Lin Yuan withdrew his hand, and a faint chuckle came from beneath the mask.

"Scaring you."

Ying Luohong: ...

Zheng Longjiang: ...

Hua Linhan: ...

Zheng Longjiang coughed a few times and muttered, "I have to say, this Zoffy really is asking for a beating."

Ling Yiyi: ...

Ling Yiyi's expression turned cold.

A black Soul Ring emerged.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Redemption Holy Light!"

"Third Soul Skill, Life Domain!"

In an instant, the fifth Soul Ring and third Soul Ring blazed with light one after another!

In this state, Ling Yiyi's flying ability would be greatly enhanced, and all her Soul Skill effects would be massively strengthened. At the same time, her own body was wrapped in a golden film of light, enough to withstand three full-power strikes from a peak seven-ring Soul Sage!

Clearly, Ling Yiyi intended to settle everything in one move!

Ling Yiyi had originally wanted to slowly drag Zoffy to his death and let the dean see where Zoffy's limits were, but she had never expected to end up in such a sorry state.

"Zoffy, are you still not planning to reveal your Soul Rings?!"

As Ling Yiyi said this, she froze. Since when had forcing Zoffy to reveal his Soul Rings become her ultimate goal?

Lin Yuan remained silent and no longer launched any attacks. Instead, he folded his arms, looking quite interested.

"Arrogant!"

Ling Yiyi's expression changed, and then she reached out and slapped her hand onto the ground.

In an instant, a green hexagram formation rose up, emitting a warm aura.

Lin Yuan felt as if some kind of connection had been established between himself and Ling Yiyi.

The moment the hexagram formation appeared, Ling Yiyi's face went pale, and she murmured, "This is my third Soul Skill, Life Domain. It uses life energy to distinguish the target. If it's an enemy, when I'm wounded, the enemy is wounded. If it's a companion, when I'm wounded, the friend survives."

"Oh, and then?"

"And then... why are you fine?"

Ling Yiyi abruptly raised her head, looked at Lin Yuan, who was still floating in the air and had not suffered any curse at all, and cried out, "How was that possible? How could you not be injured?"

Before she could finish speaking, her pupils suddenly contracted. The backlash from her interrupted Soul Skill made her spit out a mouthful of blood, clutch her chest, and drop to her knees.

Without question, both of those Soul Skills were closely tied to life energy.

Lin Yuan laughed.

"Look inside this arena. Where is the life energy you rely on?" Lin Yuan pointed at the sky. Inside the arena, yellow sand still filled the air, while the life energy was actually tumbling continuously within the sand.

"You annihilated the life energy?!" As soon as Ling Yiyi said that, she shook her head sharply and muttered to herself, "No, I can still sense the life energy. This feeling can't be fake."

The next second, Ling Yiyi suddenly remembered something Zoffy had seemingly said offhand before the match began.

This life energy seems pretty light...

"Could it be..." Ling Yiyi immediately thought of a possibility!

At some point, Lin Yuan had already arrived in front of her and gave her the answer:

"The life energy in the Soul Fighting Arena is virtual, after all. Its mass is simply too light, and it's extremely easy for the environment to affect it. So that tactic you were so proud of was stupid to the extreme. I really don't know who arranged it for you."

Just then, a Singularity appeared in Lin Yuan's hand.

In an instant, repulsive force swept across the entire field once more. Amid the sandstorm, Lin Yuan's robes snapped loudly as he placed his right hand on Ling Yiyi's shoulder.

All the life energy in the arena seemed to have found its true outlet. Wrapped in dust, it surged over with the force of a tsunami. Everywhere it passed, the entire world was dyed into a green ocean, beautiful to the extreme.

"Ah!"

The instant the life energy poured into her, Ling Yiyi screamed in agony.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

She instinctively tried to use Soul Power to break free, only to discover that before she could even use it, the life energy clinging to her like a shadow came in wave after wave without end.

That most precious life element, which had once made withered wood bloom in spring and all things revive, instantly suppressed Ling Yiyi's process of mobilizing her Soul Power.

At that moment, the life element became the murderer that killed her.

All the life energy in the entire arena flooded into Ling Yiyi's body. Ling Yiyi instantly swelled to five meters tall, like a balloon inflated to its limit, and she was still expanding.

In the end, with a boom!

Ling Yiyi exploded.

In the spectator stands, everyone was silent, staring at one another.

Immediately after, the burst of wails and cheers split into two extremes.

"No, Zoffy, how could you win? How could you! You bastard, I bet everything I owned on Senior Ling!"

"Fucking same here! Damn it!"

But in the next second, those few wails were drowned out by even greater cheers!

"Zoffy! Zoffy! I bet half my net worth on you! I won, I won!"

"Follow the boss, and your villa's by the sea!"

"The plan for a one-man team to tear through the Soul Fighting Tournament was made by Zoffy!"

"Zoffy, which school are you from? I want to exchange pointers with you after the final exams!"

Meanwhile, in the central spectator stand.

When Hua Linhan saw Ling Yiyi's tragic state, he could not help swallowing and muttered to himself:

"Don't tell me Zoffy was still going easy on me last round?"

"Uh, wait, Dean, I just heard you say you bet half your net worth, and I also seem to have heard Zoffy say the person who came up with this tactic was stupid..."

Before he could finish, Hua Linhan's head suffered a severe blow!

Hua Linhan covered his head pitifully and looked at Ying Luohong, only to see Ying Luohong's face darken to a gloomy black as she muttered to herself:

"I was schemed against. I never expected that when he kicked up the sandstorm, it wasn't to block vision, but to isolate most of the life energy. At the very end, he used Ling Yiyi's own affinity physique to make it backfire on her..."

And most importantly, she had lost half her net worth in Douluo Coins!

Damn Zoffy!
