Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Demon Charm, Terrifying Beyond Measure
The match began with the referee's announcement.
The first to move in the Spirit Hall Academy Team was Hu Liena. With just a simple turn, she was already at the front of the team, a faint smile on her face. As she released her Martial Soul, she became much prettier, and a fluffy tail grew out of her back.
A pale red light burst forth from her eyes, which flickered as she looked at Yu Tianheng.
"Don't look into her eyes!" Yu Tianheng shouted, reminding his teammates.
"Will everything be alright if I don't look at my eyes? Everyone calls me Sky Fox." Hu Liena's voice sounded a little hoarse, but there was a special charm in that hoarseness.
At this moment, all members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team stood frozen in place.
The Soul Master and members of various academy teams who were watching all gasped in shock at what they saw. Huo Lei was among them.
"Seeing is believing. I must say, Hu Liena's move is truly powerful. She launches a preemptive control attack without the opponent's knowledge, and it's a group control at that. Crucially, it's impossible to defend against. It works not only visually but also auditorily, and the rest is still unknown. Even with only visual and auditory effects, she has her opponent completely under her control, and her Soul Power Level is higher than her opponent's. Even if she doesn't launch a sneak attack and explicitly tells her opponent she has a control Soul Skill, the opponent still can't resist unless they have a mental Soul Skill to counter it. This move is too ruthless. Fortunately, my fifth Soul Skill is mental, which perfectly counters her, and my level is higher than hers."
Huo Lei was filled with mixed emotions, but also felt extremely fortunate.
The five Soul Rings on Hu Liena's body began to flash rhythmically. Starting from the fifth Soul Ring and continuing down to the First Soul Ring, the red light on her body intensified with each fluctuation of the Soul Ring.
At the same time, Xie Yue, who was standing behind her, also moved.
With the release of his Xie Yue Martial Soul, five Soul Ring lit up, and he charged towards Hu Liena, wielding two blood-red Moon Blade.
The moment the two collided, a red light enveloped them. The red light instantly burst forth and spread, covering half of the arena and engulfing all seven members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team.
The other five members of the Spirit Hall retreated.
A red light flashed, and the two people suddenly became one, with long flowing hair, making it impossible to tell whether they were male or female.
"Holy crap! This is their Martial Soul Fusion Skill — Demon Charm. It's incredibly powerful. The combined Martial Soul Fusion Skill activated by two Soul King has probably already reached the threshold of Soul Sage. The original work clearly states that within the control range of the Demon Charm skill, all senses will be reduced by 50%, Soul Power will be suppressed by 50%, and all actions will be slowed by 50%. This is simply a heaven-defying divine skill. Once it's unleashed, let alone a group of Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, even a group of Five-Ring Soul King would be as easy as cutting melons and vegetables. Even a group of Soul Emperor, entering the red mist, would probably not gain any advantage without countering mental Soul Skill. It's truly terrifying."
Huo Lei was deeply shocked and gave the siblings' Martial Soul Fusion Skill extremely high praise.
The red light intensified, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.
Huo Lei originally wanted to use his Fiery Golden Eyes to examine the situation within the red mist, but considering the large number of powerful individuals present, he reluctantly chose to give up.
Muffled groans echoed from within the red mist as figures were thrown out one after another.
Of the seven members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team, five have already been thrown out. Only Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan remain, their pitiful cries echoing from within the red mist.
Accompanied by mournful cries, a sinister, androgynous voice echoed from within the red mist, "Poison, within our domain, is greatly diminished. Dugu Yan, your poison is insufficient to affect us. Go."
Dugu Yan's body was blasted off the stage.
As the red light dissipated, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill also dissipated, and Hu Liena and Xie Yue returned to their previous state.
Yu Tianheng knelt on one knee, panting heavily, his Dragon Transformation arms trembling uncontrollably.
"For the sake of your family, I'll spare your life." Xie Yue walked to Yu Tianheng's side, swung his Moon Blade, and sliced across Yu Tianheng's back, ending the battle.
Throughout the entire match, only two members of the Spirit Hall Academy made a move, yet they easily defeated the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. This left the spectators stunned and speechless. Even after the seven members of the Spirit Hall had left the arena, some people were still in shock.
Blazing Fire Academy won easily again that day; Huo Lei didn't even have to lift a finger to win the match.
After the third round of competition, only six teams remained in the entire tournament. Among these six teams, Spirit Hall Academy was considered the strongest. Huo Lei didn't care about this; as for who was truly the strongest, the answer would naturally be revealed in a few days.
Tomorrow's draw will determine many things, and no one wants to be the first to face the Spirit Hall Academy Team.
The Spirit Hall did a good job arranging accommodations, providing each person with a private room.
After dinner, everyone from the Blazing Fire Academy returned to their rooms to rest. Since their opponents would be determined by a draw before the match, all they could do now was get into the right mindset.
Huo Lei lay on the bed, tossing and turning, his gaze fixed on the ceiling, lost in thought.
"Because of my appearance, many things on the Douluo Continent will change, and the original course of events will be altered. The Soul Master Tournament is a case in point."
"The next match should be against Shrek Academy Team first, and then against Spirit Hall Academy Team. If that's the case, if Shrek Academy Team loses to the Blazing Fire Academy, they'll all leave, and Xiao Wu won't be discovered, so Tang Hao won't have to rescue her anymore. Logically, that should be how it works, but things are unpredictable, and Bibi Dong might pull some other tricks. Oh well! I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, I'm not in any danger before the Soul Master Tournament ends, since Spirit Hall still wants to recruit me. I should conserve my energy for the competition; thinking too much is useless."
The fourth round of the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academy began after a day's rest.
The six teams were drawn to determine their opponents.
Surprisingly, the Spirit Hall Academy Team, the Blazing Fire Academy Team, and the Shrek Academy Team did not draw each other; instead, they each drew three other relatively weak teams.
This made the fourth round of matches much easier, with the three strong teams securing victories without any suspense.
The eliminated teams have already left, not even allowed to watch the final day's battles. Only the truly young and powerful are qualified to step onto this square in the Papal Hall.
At dawn, the three teams that had advanced to the finals were already standing in the Papal Hall, waiting quietly. The teachers from the three academies were not allowed to stand in the square and could only wait on the perimeter.
The seven members of the Spirit Hall Academy Team appeared relaxed, their eyes gleaming with confidence.
The seven members of the Blazing Fire Academy Team stood in a line, with Huo Lei in third place. In front of him were his older brother Huo Wushuang and older sister Huo Wu, and behind him were Feng Xiaotian and his companions. All seven of them kept a low profile and did not make any unnecessary moves.
The Shrek Academy Team also stood in a single line, waiting quietly.
