Under the cover of flames, vision was blurred by the golden-red light.

The Kuang Xi swayed and fell backward in the flames. Almost simultaneously, the four of them —the Twin Monkeys Twin Rams— rushed in that direction to help the Kuang Xi withstand the subsequent attacks.

The Spider Woman stood in the middle of the group, her eyes fixed on the direction of the flames.

But in that instant, she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye that shouldn't have been there.

A black shadow darted out from the side of the flames with incredible speed.

It clung to the edge of the Soul Arena Platform, like a shadow swaying in the wind.

By the time the Spider Woman spotted the shadow, it was already only a few steps away.

Her pupils contracted sharply.

White hair exploded from the back of her head, Entanglement around Zhu Zhuqing.

The white hairs tangled in the air, forming an impenetrable net that enveloped Zhu Zhuqing almost instantly.

Zhu Zhuqing did not back down.

Her Second Soul Ring lit up, Hell Stab, she transformed into a black afterimage, passing through the gaps between her white hair.

The First Soul Ring lit up immediately, and the Netherworld Hundred Claws unleashed a series of dense Claw Shadows upon the Spider Woman.

All of it landed on his back; all the attacks were concentrated in a spot the size of a fist.

Blood gushed out instantly.

The Spider Woman let out a muffled groan, staggered two steps, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.

"I never expected that Shrek would have a speed-type Soul Master hidden among them."

The Spider Woman steadied herself, the languid look on her face completely gone, replaced by annoyance at being tricked.

She stared at Zhu Zhuqing, a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

"Don't you know that control-type Soul Masters are countered by agility-type Soul Masters? How dare you attack me?"

She clapped her hands together abruptly, and her white hair gathered from all directions, forming a dense spiderweb in the air that descended upon Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing had no time to dodge and was tightly bound by the net.

With a flick of her wrist, the Spider Woman sent the web carrying Zhu Zhuqing's body flying towards the open space outside the Soul Arena Platform.

Zhu Zhuqing's body tumbled in the air.

But her gaze never left anyone.

Ruyi Plate Soul Master.

The short man standing at the very back of the Mad Battle Team, holding a bronze plate, was watching the battle unfold with lingering fear.

He had almost been knocked out of the game by Xiao Wu's shockwave, and now his vision was obscured by the flames. He huddled at the back, thinking he was safe.

Zhu Zhuqing flipped over in mid-air, facing the direction of the Ruyi Plate Soul Master.

She clasped her hands together at her sides, and her Soul Power surged out, gathering in her palms along her meridians.

Ye Lin's words echoed in her mind.

The essence of Self-Created Soul Skill lies in controlling your Soul Power. Find the point you are best at, and then push outwards from that point.

Where is her focus?

In the shadows, in the dark, in an unnoticed direction.

Although her body was flying out, her attacks could come from any direction.

A Shadow Moon Blade materialized in her palm.

Zhu Zhuqing loosened her grip, and the Moon Blade flew out of her hand, tracing an arc in the air.

It spun half a circle around the edge of the Soul Arena Platform.

It Ruyi Plate through the Soul Master's back.

By the time he felt the wind behind him, it was too late.

The Shadow Moon Blade struck him precisely in the back, sending him flying forward. The bronze plate in his hand flew out of his grasp, rolled twice on the table, and landed on the ground with a clatter.

He lay on the ground, struggled a couple of times, but couldn't get up.

Spider Woman turned her head sharply and saw the figure of the Ruyi Plate Soul Master lying on the ground. Her expression was as if she had been slapped in the face.

"Ruyi Plate!"

At the edge of the Soul Arena Platform, Flender stood at the entrance of the passage. When he saw that scene, he clapped his hands together and exclaimed, "What a brilliant plan!"

He pushed up his glasses, his smile barely concealed.

"I never expected that Zhu Zhuqing would also possess Self-Created Soul Skill."

He paused for a moment, then added,

"It's a bit of a pity, though. Although we defeated the opponent's Ruyi Plate, Zhu Zhuqing is also out. One for one."

Yu Xiaogang stood beside him, his hands behind his back, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He shook his head, his tone flat. "How could it be a one-for-one exchange?"

Flender paused for a moment, then turned to look at him.

Yu Xiaogang's gaze fell on the direction outside the Soul Arena Platform, where Zhu Zhuqing's body was falling, still a few feet from the ground.

But at that very moment, a pale Golden light suddenly shone behind her.

Three pairs of crystal-clear wings unfurled from beneath her shoulder blades, as thin as cicada wings, shimmering softly under the light.

With a gentle flap of her wings, she stopped falling, hovering in mid-air, a foot above the table.

Oscar had just slipped a Flying Mushroom to Zhu Zhuqing before the flames ignited.

That was the only thing he did during the brief moments when the flames obscured his vision.

Zhu Zhuqing caught the mushroom before making her move, held it in her mouth, and only swallowed it the moment her body flew off the Soul Arena Platform.

"Wishful Mushroom Sausages."

Flender's eyes widened, then he burst into laughter, his voice echoing Soul Arena Platform.

"Good! Good! Good!"

The Spider Woman stood on the Soul Arena Platform, looking at Zhu Zhuqing suspended in mid-air, feeling as if someone had grabbed her by the throat.

The claw marks on her back were still oozing blood.

Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Hundred Claws attack just now concentrated all her attacks into one point, leaving a deep and sharp wound that made half of her body numb with pain.

She gritted her teeth, suppressing the surging anger within her, and turned to look at the battle on the other side of the Soul Arena Platform.

The flames over there had mostly died down, revealing the fierce battle raging inside.

The four Soul Masters, consisting of Twin Rams Soul Master Twin Monkeys, rushed to the side of the Kuang Xi, but it was too late by the time they arrived.

Ye Lin's Dark Gold Dreadclaw sliced into the crack in the Kuang Xi's chest shell, the five claw tips coming together to form an arc, slicing from the collarbone all the way to the side of the waist, leaving a deep and long gash.

Blood gushed from the wound, and Kuang Xi's body swayed twice. His knees buckled, and he fell forward onto the Soul Arena Platform with a dull thud.

His hand remained clenched into a fist, but he was no longer responding.

The referee quickly stepped forward, glanced at the scene, stood up, and pointed in the direction of the Shrek Seven Devils: "Kuang Xi is out!"

The Spider Woman's expression changed completely.

The strongest fighters, Kuang Xi and Ruyi Plate, were eliminated; without their Berserk abilities, they were no longer victorious.

The Mad Battle Team's fighting strength has been reduced by at least 80%!

She suddenly raised her head, her voice a chord higher than before.

At this point, she knew she couldn't win.

But the other side must pay the price!

"Join forces to attack one person!"

"Attack the opponent's Soft-Boned Enchanting Rabbit!"
