The direct line wiped out, Shrek on the brink of collapse, my Nannan-! (at the top of his lungs)
Boom--
After a loud bang, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, who hadn't even figured out what was going on, were dragged out of the Soul Fighting Arena by Xuan Zi.
After casually tossing the two aside, Xuan Zi's expression was rather unpleasant.
Leaving aside the fact that Wu Feng, who is known for his violence, suddenly became intelligent and used tactics, the fact that Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were eliminated so easily is definitely not the situation he wanted to see.
Putting aside their relationship with Huo Yuhao, the current situation on the field was something he had never imagined.
Although Bei Bei and her group did not have a numerical advantage compared to Ning Tian's team, they had four Soul Ancestor, while Ning Tian's team only had two.
This should have been a situation where Bei Bei and her teammates had the advantage or could easily dominate, but what happened now?
Two Twin Martial Souls geniuses, on whom Shrek Academy had placed high hopes and who had a very high chance of the Shrek Academy, were eliminated from the team of the Preparatory Shrek Seven Monsters.
Even the other "founding fathers" are in some danger.
Whether from a personal perspective or from the perspective of the academy's interests, Xuan Zi did not want Ning Tian and the others to win.
In other words, within Ning Tian's team, only Ning Tian and Wu Feng were acceptable to be members of the reserve team. The other core disciples who had clearly leaned towards the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect should not be included in the reserve team, nor were they worthy of it.
Sometimes, the higher your expectations for something, the more disappointing the result will be.
After Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong were eliminated, Huo Yuhao was unable to use his Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Facing Cao Jinxuan and the others alone, it was only a matter of time before he was overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, something even worse happened.
After the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Heavenly Net, ended, the Blue Family Sisters' Soul Power was completely exhausted, and they were pulled out of the arena by Xuan Zi. The successful escape of the Level 4 Soul Engineer He Caitou was like sending charcoal in snowy weather for Bei Bei and the others.
But just as a flicker of joy began to form in their hearts, Cao Jinxuan, who had been hiding behind the crowd, suddenly roared:
"Sister Feng, kill him!"
As he spoke, a yellow light suddenly shone from his body.
Time Fleeting Bell's Second Soul Skill, Time Lock, activated!
Time Lock is Cao Jinxuan's strongest time-based Soul Skill. After use, it can freeze time around the target. Even though He Caitou's cultivation level is two rings higher than his, his Time Lock can still forcibly control the opponent's time for nearly two seconds.
Although the two-second interval was short, it was enough for Wu Feng to react.
"Explode, explosion, explosion!"
Wu Feng roared and activated his third Soul Skill, Dragon Explosion, once again.
By the time He Caitou, whose Soul Power had already exceeded 70%, broke free from the control of the Time Lock, it was already too late.
"Senior brother!"
Amid Huo Yuhao's roar, Xuan Zi intervened again, rescuing He Caitou from the Soul Fighting Zone.
But it was far from over. After dealing with He Caitou, Wu Feng had consumed more than 70% of his Soul Power, and the Flame Swamp had disappeared. Bei Bei and Jiang Nannan, who had escaped, looked grim. They exchanged a glance, then ignored Wu Feng, who was panting heavily, and rushed straight towards Ning Tian behind them.
He Caitou was caught off guard and eliminated, which was frustrating for them. However, Wu Feng and the others also made a mistake in their positioning in order to eliminate him. Ning Tian, Support System Soul Master, was left unprotected and completely exposed to them.
"Ning Tian--!"
Wu Feng shouted urgently and immediately rushed towards Ning Tian's direction.
But she was ultimately too far from Ning Tian, and with Bei Bei's obstruction, she could only watch as Jiang Nannan, after her third purple ring flashed, instantly rushed in front of Ning Tian.
A Support System Soul Master being overpowered by Agility Attack Soul Master of the same level is almost certainly a death sentence on the battlefield, a view shared by almost everyone, including Xuan Zi.
But just as Xuan Zi was about to make a move, what he saw made him freeze in place.
Despite being suddenly attacked by Jiang Nannan, Ning Tian showed no sign of panic. She even had time to give Jiang Nannan a meaningful look. Then, just as Jiang Nannan's attack was about to land on her, a burst of intense golden light suddenly erupted from Ning Tian's body.
The golden light was dazzling, and the aura it carried made Xuan Zi tremble. Then, he involuntarily exclaimed in surprise:
"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
A burst of golden light flashed, startling Jiang Nannan, who was standing right next to it. Then, she felt an incredibly terrifying aura suddenly appear in her perception.
In an instant, Jiang Nannan coughed up blood from her mouth and nose under the impact of that aura, and then her body went limp and she fainted.
Everything happened so fast that by the time everyone came to their senses, Jiang Nannan's body had already disappeared, leaving only a shrill scream in the arena.
"Nannan, Nannan, my Nannan--!"
The person who spoke was Xu Sanshi. Upon seeing Jiang Nannan eliminated, a near-mad thought flashed in Xu Sanshi's eyes.
The next instant, a strong dark green light burst forth from the Xuanming Shield in Xu Sanshi's hand. The intense energy fluctuations were like a massive explosion. Xie Huanyue, who had been blocking Xu Sanshi, Xie Huanyue!" and then quickly retreated to Ning Tian and the others.
With the activation of the Divine Beast Black Tortoise Bloodline, Xu Sanshi's strength increased dramatically, surpassing the limits that Xie Huanyue could withstand.
He had a premonition that if he forced himself on her, Xuan Zi would snatch him away in the next second.
Seeing the strange changes in Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei's eyes were filled with shock.
Others might not know, but Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi's best friend, knew very well that Xu Sanshi possessed a Divine Beast bloodline far purer than Ma Xiaotao's. However, this bloodline had always been sealed, and it could only be revived when Xu Sanshi was subjected to extreme stimulation.
Now that Jiang Nannan has been eliminated by Ning Tian, she has lost her qualification to become Shrek Seven Monsters reserve team. This has driven Xu Sanshi, who had been looking forward to using this competition to get closer to Jiang Nannan, completely crazy. By a twist of fate, he activated the Black Tortoise Bloodline, which allowed his strength to increase dramatically in a short period of time.
But just as Bei Bei was surprised, a scream suddenly brought him back to his senses.
"Yuhao!"
Upon seeing what was happening not far away, Bei Bei's eyes widened in rage.
Having successfully launched a sneak attack, Wu Feng, having exhausted the last bit of Soul Power within her, cast a provocative smile at Bei Bei. Then, she gritted her teeth, exerting all her strength to suppress the weakness and dizziness within her, barely managing to stand in place and await her fate.
On the stands, Xuan Zi, who had rescued Huo Yuhao, was completely devastated.
If Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, whom he rescued earlier, only had a high probability of becoming Shrek Academy's direct descendants in the future, then Huo Yuhao, the orphan with Twin Martial Souls, had already been labeled as a member of Shrek.
But now, all of Shrek Academy's direct disciples have been eliminated, with only Bei Bei remaining.
If Shrek Academy were a dynasty, it would be no different from the Shrek Academy on the verge of collapse at this point.
After all, the direct bloodline is dead; who can carry on the dynasty?
We can't just let unrelated relatives or collateral relatives participate, can we!?
However, those involved are often blinded by their own perspectives, while bystanders see things more clearly. Xuan Zi knew very well that Bei Bei's earlier decision to cut off communication between Wu Feng and the team was correct. However, after Xu Sanshi activated the Divine Beast bloodline, his attention was drawn to that direction, causing him to overlook the movements of Wu Feng, who still had combat power.
Without a doubt, this was Bei Bei's dereliction of duty.
What Xuan Zi couldn't understand even more was how Huo Yuhao, a Mental Attribute Soul Master, could not have noticed Wu Feng's sneaky approach, leading to his fatal blow and elimination.
Having reached this point, Xuan Zi almost wanted to curse out loud regardless of the occasion, but the battle in the arena was not over yet. Even though Xuan Zi was so angry that he didn't want to eat or drink, he still forced himself to endure it.
Inside the arena, Ning Tian was truly at a loss as he watched Xu Sanshi charging towards them with terrifying momentum.
If Wu Feng Wu Feng by her side, she would have a way to replenish his Soul Power.
The problem is that Wu Feng is at least thirty meters away from her, and she has no way to get past Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi's blockade.
With their Soul Power already mostly depleted, the chances of them and Xie Huanyue defeating Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who were still in relatively good condition, were extremely slim.
What should we do now?
Just as Ning Tian was racking her brains, a voice suddenly rang out beside her:
"Senior, I'm giving up the assessment!"
In an instant, Ning Tian's gaze was fixed on Zhou Sichen, who had been playing a minor role on the sidelines due to his Martial Soul ability.
Then, she suddenly realized that she had fallen into a blind spot.
Their goal from beginning to end was not to fight, but to ensure that more of their teammates survived than the opponents. As long as there are only seven players left on the field, this Grand Melee Selection Tournament will come to an end.
Thinking of this, Ning Tian quickly shouted:
"Xuan Zi, the selection competition is over. Please help us stop Xu Sanshi, otherwise I will use other trump cards for the safety of my companions, and I will not be responsible for any consequences arising therefrom!"
