Shrek Soul Fighting Arena.
Zhou Yi stood within the one-meter-diameter circle. Even while facing the combined assault of all three, she remained utterly composed.
She stomped her foot against the ground.
Bang—
The ground shook violently. A powerful force seemed to ripple outward in waves, snapping the Blue Silver Grass growing from the ground into several fragments.
At the same time, Lin Yan and Bei Bei's attacks arrived.
Her left hand shot out, fingers curled like an eagle's talons, and seized Bei Bei's fist. Her dry, sharp fingertips even pierced slightly into the blue-violet dragon scales on the back of his hand, making Bei Bei suck in a sharp breath.
At the same time, she raised her right hand to block Lin Yan.
Perhaps because of the difference in cultivation, Zhou Yi chose an entirely different method when facing the swing of Lin Yan's Spiked Club.
A faint glow appeared, and a layer of crystalline Soul Power enveloped Zhou Yi's palm. Only then did she reach out with her bare hand to grab Lin Yan's Spiked Club.
The rules only prohibited instructors from using their Martial Souls and Soul Skills during the match. They could still use Soul Power.
The instant they made contact, Zhou Yi felt her palm sink. She immediately shot Lin Yan a surprised glance. "What tremendous brute strength!"
At the same time, she shook both arms, erupting with astonishing strength and sending Lin Yan and Bei Bei flying back together.
"Don't give this old hag a chance to catch her breath! Keep attacking!"
Lin Yan loudly reminded Bei Bei.
"Alright!"
Bei Bei nodded, and two Century Spirit Rings lit up almost simultaneously.
First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!
Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Force!
Bei Bei's right hand, transformed into a dragon arm, suddenly grew even thicker. The blue-violet lightning dancing across it also became far more powerful.
Bei Bei shook his dragon arm, sending a one-foot-long lightning dragon claw clawing at Zhou Yi from afar. At the same time, he charged forward again, his dragon claw bolstered by two Soul Skills smashing fiercely toward Zhou Yi's aged face.
Watching this, Lin Yan's expression turned somewhat strange.
Just moments ago, Bei Bei had said it was wrong to bully an elderly woman. But now that they had truly started fighting, he was ruthless and vicious, always aiming for the face without holding back in the slightest.
Hiss—
Drawing in a deep breath, Lin Yan charged forward as the second Millennium Spirit Ring began to emit a mysterious, noble purple glow.
Second Millennium Soul Ring Skill, Titan's Fury!
A deep roar, like that of a Titan Giant Ape, suddenly rang out. Dense black light spread from the Black Demon Mace across Lin Yan's entire body.
A mass of black flame enveloped Lin Yan's body.
He gripped the Spiked Club with both hands, his expression serious and the veins on his arms bulging, before fiercely swinging it out.
Zhou Yi's expression grew grave. Her left palm pushed forward, and the Soul Power erupting from it crushed the incoming Thunder Dragon Claw. Yet Bei Bei's close-range attack had already arrived.
His ferocious dragon claw, enhanced by both amplification Soul Skills, lashed violently toward Zhou Yi's waist.
Zhou Yi deftly twisted her left arm with incredible speed. Having just neutralized the Thunder Dragon Claw's force, she immediately lowered her palm and slapped it against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon scales on the back of Bei Bei's hand.
Smack—
A crisp slapping sound rang out.
Hiss—
Bei Bei suddenly sucked in a breath, feeling intense pain shoot through the back of his hand. Even the highly defensive dragon scales there showed signs of cracking.
Ignoring the pain in his hand, Bei Bei abruptly raised his leg and kicked toward Zhou Yi's waist.
Without even looking at Bei Bei, Zhou Yi raised her left leg to block his leg whip. At the same time, her gaze shifted toward Lin Yan.
Compared to Bei Bei, Lin Yan, who possessed the cultivation of a Soul Elder, was clearly more worthy of her attention.
Watching the Spiked Club wrapped in black flames swing toward her, Zhou Yi showed no fear. Her Soul Power-covered palm struck toward it again.
Bang—
A dull collision sounded.
Zhou Yi felt an unexpectedly powerful force crash into her. Just as she neutralized it and believed she had blocked Lin Yan's attack, an unexpected burst of Inner Force suddenly transmitted into her palm.
Zhou Yi's hand was blasted backward.
At the same time, Lin Yan's first Spirit Ring lit up.
Thunder Awakening!
The purple lightning arcs within the spikes, originally as thin as fingertips, suddenly became purple-black. They resembled thick purple-black lightning serpents as wide as wrists, racing directly along the Spiked Club and into Zhou Yi's body.
Purple-black lightning swept over her. Zhou Yi's right sleeve was almost instantly destroyed, revealing skin beneath that was unlike the dry, aged skin of her face. It was fair and delicate, like that of a young woman in the bloom of youth.
Lightning spread across Zhou Yi's body. Caught off guard, she was plunged into waves of numb paralysis.
At the same time, blue-violet lightning erupted from Bei Bei's dragon claw as it clamped down on Zhou Yi's left shoulder.
Under the assault of the two lightning forces, Zhou Yi's body began to convulse uncontrollably.
Seeing this, the handsome Lin Yan did not relax.
He knew that Zhou Yi had merely been careless. Given an opportunity, she would immediately recover. She was only being restrained by the lightning at the moment and had not truly been injured.
If they wanted to knock her out of the circle, this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Hiss—
Lin Yan drew in a deep breath, his gaze turning solemn.
He gripped the Black Demon Mace with both hands. His spiritual power merged with his Soul Power, and a mysterious yet powerful aura emerged from the Black Demon Mace. Several silver-white patterns surfaced across its pitch-black surface.
It was Thunderous Bagua!
The Black Demon Mace possessed an innate ability to merge Soul Power and spiritual power. Once the two fused, they could unleash an immensely powerful force—enough to let Lin Yan challenge opponents above his level. It was currently his greatest trump card.
Lin Yan had named it Thunderous Bagua!
Several years ago, he had still been somewhat unfamiliar with this ability. But after years of study, he had long since mastered it with ease.
"Thunderous—Bagua!"
"Ha—"
The silver-white patterns on the Black Demon Mace burst with dazzling radiance as purple-black lightning roared madly, and the club swung fiercely toward Zhou Yi.
At the same time, watching the rapidly enlarging Spiked Club before her, a trace of shock appeared in Zhou Yi's eyes.
She had no time to think. Her Soul Emperor cultivation erupted in full force, finally dispersing the lightning that had invaded her body, and she hurriedly raised a hand to block.
But Lin Yan's club was too fast, leaving Zhou Yi almost no time to react.
By the time she broke free from the numbness caused by the electric shock, the Spiked Club was already nearly upon her. In her haste, she could only raise her palm to block it.
The Thunderous Bagua Lin Yan unleashed with the cultivation of a Soul Elder was nearly as powerful as the fourth Soul Skill of a top-tier Soul Ancestor.
Although Zhou Yi was a Soul Emperor, she had neither summoned her Martial Soul nor had time to circulate much Soul Power into the meridians of her palm. She took Lin Yan's blow head-on, and the outcome was easy to imagine.
Zhou Yi's palm was nearly instantly pierced through by the spikes of the Black Demon Mace. Then, the heavy blow crashed through her palm and brutally hammered into her full chest.
Puff—
A bursting sound rang out, as though something had been smashed apart by Lin Yan's strike.
The next moment, Zhou Yi spat out blood and was sent flying directly beyond the circle.
