The Blade Came Apart

Huyan Li felt a lightness in his hand.

The Sun Wheel Blade, firmly bound by the elephant trunk phantom, began to disperse from its tip. Clear water, firelight, Lightning, wind, rock dust, and light- Mist slid outwards along the grayish-yellow Soul Power, leaving only an empty hilt in the blink of an eye.

Huyan Li subconsciously increased his strength.

The hilt of the knife was also broken.

Six Elemental Light Streams passed by his hand and reconverged three zhang away. Yuan Yu raised his right hand, and the Sun Wheel Blade completely solidified from the light, which he firmly grasped.

The room fell silent.

Tool Martial Soul can leave the body, can be retrieved, and can also change size through Soul Skill. None of the Soul Master present had ever seen it disperse into several elements on the spot and then recombine in another place.

Huo Wu abruptly stood up from her seat. She saw the Flame Pattern transform into streams of fire, passing through the gaps in the elephant trunk's Soul Power, and then precisely returning to the blade as they condensed. The entire process did not conflict with the water or Lightning Flash in the slightest.

"His Martial Soul has changed."

Huo Wushuang also noticed. "On the day of registration, all six lines were on the blade. Today, only three dark lines remain on the outside."

Feng Xiaotian stared at the repositioning point, quickly tapping his knee twice with his finger. "Three zhang. After the blades dispersed, they moved three zhang, Yuan Yu himself didn't move."

Shui Bing'er remained silent. She was more concerned with the order in which the six elements reformed into the shape of the blade. Water took shape first, rock stabilized the blade, wind and thunder filled the edge, and fire and mist attached last. The six forces had begun to form a fixed cycle.

Several Soul Master in the VIP section were also talking in hushed tones. Salas gripped the armrest of his chair, feeling for the first time that the registration materials in his hand were far too simplistic.

Huyan Li stared at his empty elephant trunk phantom for a moment, stunned.

Yuan Yu had already arrived in front of him.

"Who caught whom just now?"

The scabbard swung up from below, Huyan Li's wrist squarely. The wind pushed upwards along his arm, causing his massive body to lean backward.

Yuan Yu didn't target the strongest part of the Head Spirit Bone. Instead, he turned and Huyan Li Sun Wheel Blade's right knee with his scabbard. The Rock Force penetrated the keratin layer and entered the joint, Huyan Li numb, and he knelt on one knee.

The silvery-white light shield quickly covered downwards.

The water flowed onto the surface of the shield first. Lightning Flash spread along the water curtain, and the silver-white defense flickered continuously due to the electricity; the Flame Pattern followed suit and lit up, and with the alternation of hot and cold, a ring of fine cracks appeared on the surface of the shield.

Yuan Yu gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands.

"Stone Breathing, First Form: Serpent-Pattern Rock Dual Extremes!"

Two Gravity collided at the same point, one after the other.

The silvery-white light shield shattered with a deafening roar.

Only the defense formed by the Head Spirit Bone shattered; the Spirit Bone itself was not damaged. Huyan Li was still shaken so badly that his vision went black and his body fell backward.

Huyan Zhen suddenly stood up.

Salas reached out and pressed down on the armrest of his chair. "There was no killing intent on the stage; Yuan Yu was holding back."

Huyan Zhen stared for a couple of breaths, then sat down again. He could also see that Yuan Yu's final blow had landed on the front, where the defenses were thickest. If the scabbard had been replaced with a blade, Huyan Li would already be bleeding.

Tang San's voice came from behind at the same time.

"Withdraw!"

While the Elephant Armor -armored group was distracted, the Blue Silver Grass rose up from between the seven people. One Blue Silver Cage after another closed in, and each person was assigned to a different position.

The Elephant Armor formation was completely broken.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun attacked to the right, their White Tiger Fierce Light Wave and Phoenix Fire Line simultaneously striking the chest of an Elephant Armor Team. Ning Rongrong's Soul Power amplification further enhanced their attack, forcing the team member to retreat six steps, his heels crossing the edge of the arena.

Zhu Zhuqing's three Nether Shadow Clone circled to the left. The two Elephant Armor Team couldn't distinguish her true form, and their punches missed repeatedly. Xiao Wu used the Blue Silver Grass to descend from above, stepping on one of the men's shoulders with both feet, and activated her Waist Bow again.

This time she didn't insist on lifting it.

Tang San simultaneously tightened his Blue Silver Grass, providing a second surge of power from behind. The incredibly heavy Diamond Mammoth Soul Master was propelled off the arena by the combined efforts of the two, landing with his hands still protecting his head.

"So I can ask someone for help." Xiao Wu clapped her hands after landing.

Tang San said, "We'll discuss this after the competition."

The remaining four Elephant Armor Team wanted to gather together, but Yuan Yu had already stood among them.

Behind the Sun Wheel Blade, the Nine-Slot Round Wheel reappeared. Six rays of light connected to form a semicircle, and water, fire, lightning, wind, rock, and mist flowed along the blade in sequence, connecting with each other faster than before.

Yuan Yu his sword forward.

"Mist Breathing, Third Form: Mist Scattering: Flying Spray"

Fine blade energy spread into the arena, but without cutting through the skin, it all landed on the knees, wrists, and sides of the Elephant Armor Team. The four of them froze as Dai Mubai's White Tiger Meteor Shower fell from above.

The sound of the explosion covered half of the arena.

When the light faded, all four Elephant Armor Team collapsed to the ground. Huyan Li tried to get up, but Tang San's Blue Silver Grass wrapped around his waist and carried him to the border.

The Referee confirmed that all seven men were incapacitated and announced the result loudly.

"Shrek Academy wins the second round of the Preliminary Tournament!"

The cheers from the stands were even louder than in the first round.

The Heaven Dou Royal Second Team only had Soul Elder, so their victory in 23 seconds could be attributed to the difference in level. However, Elephant Armor Academy had three Soul Ancestor, seven top-tier Beast Martial Soul of the same kind, and a Head Spirit Bone.

Shrek won again.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Salas: "Your Excellency, how did this test go?"

Salas's expression remained unchanged. "Sect Master Ning is joking. The draw was conducted entirely by the organizing committee according to the rules."

"Then take it as a joke."

In the center of the arena, Yuan Yu sheathed his sword.

During the Scattered Form and reorganization just now, the six elements completed a new cycle within the Martial Soul. The earth and rock Soul Power, Phoenix Flame, and water vapor left behind by the Elephant Armor Academy were all drawn over by the illusory wheel. After passing through the six bright slots, only the purest part entered the meridians.

The pass, which was stuck at the end of level 65, was directly pushed open by this force.

Level 66.

Yuan Yu's Soul Power surged again, and Huyan Li, who had not yet left the scene, glanced back, his expression somewhat blank.

"You can level up by playing a match?"

"The seven of you are quite useful," Yuan Yu said.

Huyan Li's face darkened even more.

Dai Mubai walked up from behind and tapped Yuan Yu on the shoulder with his fist. "Level 66. At this rate, what level will you reach by the end of the Preliminary Tournament?"

"Let's talk about it when we reach seventy."

"Level 70 requires the Seventh Spirit Ring."

"So we need to be even faster."

Ma Hongjun leaned over and asked, "You thanked Elephant Armor for getting promoted, but who do we thank for winning the game?"

Tang San said, "Thank them for their thick defenses, which allowed you to burn the Phoenix Fire Line for so long."

Ma Hongjun thought for a moment, then waved to the Elephant Armor Team who had just gotten up. "We'll play again next time."

None of the seven people opposite him paid any attention to him.

Before Huyan Li off the stage, Hu Yanli turned back to Yuan Yu and said, "If we meet again in the Finals, I will find a way to seize that knife."

"Then practice faster," Yuan Yu said. "The sword was scattered today, and you didn't even see where I was."

Huyan Li snorted and led his team away. He lost the match, but he didn't make any excuses. He had already used his Head Spirit Bone, and all seven of them had given their all. The difference in skill was clear on the stage, and it was more useful to go back and train than to stand here and compete.

The Sun Wheel Blade vibrated gently in its sheath. The Nine-Slot Round Wheel behind the blade remained, while the six bright grooves rotated slowly.
