Talisman buffs pushed the whole team beyond the limit

The seven members of the Elephant Armor Academy marched in neat rows.

Each of the seven people was over two meters tall, with massive builds and broad shoulders; their walk caused the corridor floor tiles to tremble slightly.

The leader, Huyan Li, had a shaved head, bulging muscles all over his body, and a short, thick neck that was almost invisible.

Huyan Li looked down at Lin Xuan and Tang San, who were walking at the front, and snorted coldly.

"You little brat from the Blue Tyrant Academy, did you have a blast stomping the newbies yesterday?"

"Today you've encountered our Elephant Armor Sect. I hope your fancy scraps of paper and blades of grass can manage to gnaw through our flesh."

Tai Long immediately took a big step forward. Although he was a little shorter than Huyan Li, his aura was not intimidating at all.

"Anyone can talk big, but let's see who begs for mercy first when we get on stage!"

Huyan Li sneered, and without making a move from below the stage, led his team members with heavy steps straight towards the entrance passage.

A moment later, the host's loud shouts echoed throughout the entire Main Soul Arena via the Amplifying Soul Tool.

"A key match in the second round of Qualifying Tournament!"

"Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy versus Elephant Armor Advanced Soul Master Academy!"

"Please bring your team members to the stage!"

A deafening roar of cheers erupted instantly around the Battle Arena.

Lin Xuan straightened his blue and white team uniform collar and turned his head to look at Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Tai Long, Ning Rongrong, and Jiangzhu behind him.

"Get on stage and proceed according to plan."

The seven of them strode forward, braving the clamor, and stepped onto the wide and flat central Soul Fighting.

At the other end of the Soul Fighting arena, seven members of the Elephant Armor Academy stood side by side, almost filling half of the arena horizontally.

In the VIP section, Platinum Bishop Salas narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Lin Xuan.

Hu Yanzhen, the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect Huyan Zhen, sat on the chair with a taut, menacing expression, a low, cold laugh escaping his lips.

In the center of the ring, the referee raised his right hand high.

"Both sides step back and release their Martial Soul!"

Huyan Li roared, and four Soul Ring —two yellow and two purple—rose from beneath his feet. A thick, hard, diamond-like keratin layer instantly appeared on his body.

The two Soul Ancestor and four Soul Elder behind him also activated their Martial Soul, and seven enormous Diamond Mammoth phantoms condensed together in mid-air.

The Academy team positioned themselves like bulldozers, while the Blue Tyrant Team quickly dispersed.

There was only Tai Long in the front row.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing stood on the left and right wings respectively, Tang San and Lin Xuan were in the middle, and Ning Rongrong and Jiangzhu were in the back row.

A standard 1-4-2 formation.

Lin Xuan raised his hand and pressed it in the void, causing four Soul Ring —yellow, yellow, purple, and black—to light up in turn.

His fingers flew across the screen, sending out two Clear Mind Talisman and two Gale Talisman, which landed directly on Ning Rongrong and Jiangzhu.

The two support-type girls suddenly became light-footed, their toes barely touching the bluestone ground, and they could hardly feel their own weight.

"Go."

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve lightly.

Twenty-five yellow Talisman Paper were laid out in mid-air, divided into five groups.

The Clear Mind Talisman calms the mind, the Blazing Fire Talisman ignites heat, the Gale Talisman brings forth a strong wind, the Frost Lock Talisman condenses Frost, and the Thunder Talisman crackles with lightning.

The five streams of light entered the bodies of Lin Xuan himself, Tang San, Tai Long, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing, respectively.

The four raging elements swirled and coiled Entanglement the five people's bodies.

Tai Long had grown a size larger, his arms covered in hard rock layers, with tiny arcs of purple-gold electricity crackling across them.

"Haha, that feels great!"

Tai Long's two large, fan-shaped hands collided together, producing a crisp metallic clang.

Ning Rongrong, sitting in the back row, held up the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda with both hands, while four Soul Ring —two yellow and two purple—spun rapidly beneath her feet.

The clear, crisp sound of chanting echoed throughout the venue.

"The Nine Treasures Have Names: First, Strength! Second, Speed! Third, Soul! Fourth, Control!"

Sixteen beams of light of various colors shot into the sky and landed precisely on the four people in the front row.

Strength increased by half, speed increased by half, Soul Power replenishment greatly improved, and defense doubled.

Tai Long's aura even overshadowed that of the Soul Ancestor opposite him.

The seven burly men from the Elephant Armor Academy stopped in their tracks at the same time.

Standing opposite, Hu Yanli's Huyan Li twitched, and he cursed inwardly.

He had never seen a team apply so many buffs to themselves right at the start of a match.

Huyan Li shouted loudly,

"First Soul Skill, Copper Wall, Iron Barrier!"

The seven members of the Elephant Armor Sect roared in unison, their First Soul Ring simultaneously blazing brightly.

The stratum corneum on the seven people doubled in thickness, and their diamond-like hard shells adhered tightly together, like a city wall pushed horizontally.

The heavy footsteps rattled the Soul Fighting, heading straight for Tai Long and crushing him.

Lin Xuan stood still, his fingertips gripping three Heavenly Thunder Talisman.

"Let me loosen the soil for you first."

With a flick of his wrist, three Talismans shot through the air.

The Talismans exploded into ashes above Huyan Li's head.

A blinding bolt of lightning struck vertically, hitting Hu Huyan Li on the head and shoulders.

The Lightning scattered and shattered, transforming into countless electric snakes that burrowed into his flesh.

A strong numbing sensation coursed through his Meridians, causing Huyan Li's massive body to stiffen violently, abruptly halting his forward momentum.

Huyan Li was in excruciating pain, his bones practically steaming.

Even with his thick skin and tough flesh, he couldn't withstand a direct attack from Lightning Talisman of ten thousand years' worth of power.

"Court death!"

Huyan Li suddenly looked up, and a layer of yellowish-brown crystalline light appeared above his head.

It was a helmet-like hard shell covering the entire head, carrying an extremely strong Soul Bone aura.

First row of VIP seats.

The Elephant Armor Sect Master, Huyan Zhen, twitched his beard, placed his hands on the armrests of his chair, and leaned forward slightly.

"Why did Ali reveal his Head Soul Bone in the second round?"

Huyan Zhen was somewhat dissatisfied, but seeing that the Soul Bone had withstood the paralysis of the Lightning Talisman, his expression softened slightly.

On the arena, Huyan Li withstood the backlash of the Thunderclap thanks to his Soul Bone.

"Crush them to death!"

The two Soul Ancestor behind him simultaneously lit up their Third Soul Ring.

"Third Soul Skill, Crushing Pressure!"

A yellowish-brown gravity halo roared out, directly enveloping a ten-meter radius in front, attempting to pin the charging Blue Tyrant team members to the ground.

"Want to lock someone up? Did you ask me first?"

Tang San stepped on the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, his figure leaving a blur, and his Fourth Soul Ring shone.

Fourth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Cage!

Thick, black vines burst forth from the ground.

The Blue Silver Grass, having absorbed the Divine Bamboo Immortal Herb of Ink Jade, has bamboo-like patterns on its surface. With the added blessing of Lin Xuanbing's Ice Lock Talisman, the vines condensed into a layer of solid ice half a foot thick as soon as they sprouted.

Seven enormous black ice cages rose from the ground, isolating the seven members of the Elephant Armor Sect in narrow spaces.

Before their gravity aura could fully spread, it was forcibly contained within the cage by the resilient vines.

"Xiao Wu, kick him!" Tang San shouted.

"Here I am!"

Xiao Wu let out a delicate shout, and her Third Soul Ring lit up beneath her feet.

Teleportation activated.
