Qiu'er Unleashes Her Fury: Dragon Crushes Phoenix

"The match begins!"

The Red-Robed Bishop announced the start and swiftly retreated to the edge of the arena.

In an instant, Xie Yue and Hu Liena exchanged a glance. Red light flashed as they activated their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Demon Charm.

As the surging red light suddenly intensified, their fused figure vanished into the dense Red Mist.

The Shrek Seven Devils were completely engulfed by it.

Within Demon Charm's area of effect, everyone's senses and Soul Power were reduced by fifty percent, and all their movements slowed by fifty percent.

One tug set the whole web trembling. Almost everyone moved at once, while every gaze outside the arena fell on Huo Yuhao.

He stood there like a wooden post, looking as though he had not come to compete at all.

What was he doing?

Was he an idiot?

Huo Yuhao's baffling behavior stunned everyone. More puzzling still, he slowly closed his eyes and activated Spiritual Sharing.

In an instant, a three-dimensional view of the entire arena appeared in the minds of Hu Liena and her teammates.

Shock?!

No—astonishment!

Every move the Shrek Seven Devils made appeared in their minds, along with more than a dozen predictions of what they might do next.

What a powerful mental skill.

The Shrek Seven Devils had clearly prepared well. Almost immediately, two figures shot out of Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Martial Soul Fusion Skill. They accelerated together, burst clear of the Red Mist, and flew straight toward Huo Yuhao at the rear.

At the same time, Tang San and four others used their ability to fly to escape the Red Mist, rising directly into the air.

It was Oscar's Flying Mushroom Sausage.

Xie Yue and Hu Liena's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was powerful, but its weakness was plain to see.

It could do nothing against flying Soul Masters.

"Hah!"

Dai Mubai's voice was cold as he sped through the air. He chose not to attack Sun Chuantao or Zhang Ping. Still smarting from yesterday, he wanted to take Huo Yuhao head-on and finish him off. It was a matter of pride. "Third Soul Skill—White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

White Tiger Vajra Transformation.

It was the key Soul Skill that strengthened Dai Mubai's Martial Soul, doubling his resistance to abnormal effects as well as his attack, defense, and strength.

As his Tiger Paw struck, Zhu Zhuqing pushed her speed to its limit.

"Third Soul Skill—Netherworld Slash!" Zhu Zhuqing brought her hands together above her head. The claws on her ten fingers swiftly merged into a blade about a foot long, which she brought down toward Huo Yuhao's head. Her third Soul Skill was immensely destructive and served as her close-range attack against a single target.

Anyone could see the Shrek Seven Devils' goal: defeat Spirit Hall's most mysterious and strongest member as quickly as possible.

After a single exchange, the Spirit Hall Academy Team had lost control of the battle. Shrek Academy held it entirely.

Just as Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were about to pounce on Huo Yuhao, Ma Hongjun heard Wang Qiu'er's cold laugh beside his ear. "You fat bastard! I'm your opponent!"

The words had barely left her mouth.

Wang Qiu'er ignored Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing flying overhead. The Golden Dragon Spear appeared in her hand, and she shot toward Ma Hongjun in the air like a streak of golden light.

"Fatty, he's yours! We have the advantage in the air!" Tang San narrowed his eyes and immediately ordered, "Xiao Wu, go! Buy Boss Dai and Zhuqing time. Finish the fight within a minute!"

One tug set the whole web trembling.

The melee was about to erupt.

Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun moved almost together. Xiao Wu aimed to harry Yan and the others, buying time for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. Ma Hongjun chose to clash head-on with Wang Qiu'er. After stewing in anger for a whole day, he needed to let it out.

"Second Soul Skill—Phoenix Reborn!"

Ma Hongjun's Second Soul Skill boosted his Phoenix Flame by thirty percent. As his Second Soul Ring flared, his First Soul Ring lit up as well. "First Soul Skill—Phoenix Fire Line!"

"Nine Treasures Turn Into Glazed Glass. Nine Treasures Have Names: third, Soul Power! Fourth, defense!"

As Ma Hongjun unleashed his Phoenix Fire Line, Ning Rongrong's boosts to Soul Power and defense descended on him.

He already possessed the top-tier Fire Phoenix Martial Soul. With the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's enhancement on top of that, he felt even more certain he could meet Wang Qiu'er head-on.

Was the team's strongest Power Attack System Battle Soul Master a joke to her?

But he had miscalculated.

The Golden Dragon Spear came straight at him. Wherever it passed, the Phoenix Fire Line parted around the spear tip as though cut by a blade, splitting into two streams of flame that shot off to either side in the shape of a V.

A Divine Artifact!

Wang Qiu'er herself wielded ultimate fire and ultimate light. Dealing with flames was child's play for her.

Impossible!

Ma Hongjun's eyes widened in shock. He could hardly believe she had dared meet his Phoenix Fire Line head-on, much less split it down the middle.

Could fire be cut apart?

For a moment, he even forgot to dodge.

"Look out!"

Tang San cried out. A strand of Blue Silver Grass instantly wrapped around Ma Hongjun's waist and yanked him half a body's width aside. The Golden Dragon Spear skimmed past his shoulder by a hair. "Fatty, now!"

Tang San was a control-type Soul Master through and through. The instant Wang Qiu'er's thrust missed and she began to land, he called out a warning.

Ma Hongjun came to his senses.

Wang Qiu'er had leaped into a charging strike. The instant she landed would be her opening.

His fourth Soul Ring flashed. "Fourth Soul Skill—Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike!"

Ma Hongjun's fourth Soul Skill was a follow-up move that restricted his opponent, but it could not lock onto a target. Wang Qiu'er was just about to land, however, trapping her for that brief instant.

As soon as Wang Qiu'er touched down, several columns of magma erupted around her within a five-meter radius.

"Bastard!"

Wang Qiu'er roared. Her third Soul Ring flashed. "Third Soul Skill—Golden Dragon Fist!"

Before countless stunned eyes, a golden dragon's head formed around Wang Qiu'er's fist. She twisted in midair and used the momentum of her fall to drive her punch into the ground.

BOOM!!!

A violent blast rang across the arena. The fountains of magma shattered beneath her fist.

Fragments scattered in every direction.

So powerful! So spectacular!

Even the Shrek Seven Devils lost focus for a moment, let alone the spectators. Ma Hongjun's strongest attack had been blown apart by a single punch?

Unbelievable!

But what came next was even harder to believe.

The moment she landed, Wang Qiu'er kept moving. Her fifth Soul Ring flashed. "Fifth Soul Skill—Golden Dragon Roar!"

A roar of pure fury!

Wang Qiu'er had bottled up too much resentment. She had to let it out.

A fierce dragon's cry resounded across the arena. A massive golden dragon appeared around her, and powerful sound waves surged toward Ma Hongjun in the air like a shock wave. Vertigo washed over him, blanking his mind, and his body dropped uncontrollably from the sky.

Tang San: "Blue Silver Cage!"

Before Tang San's Blue Silver Cage could take hold, Wang Qiu'er attacked again. "Fourth Soul Skill—Golden Dragon Burst!"

Three consecutive explosions burst outward from Wang Qiu'er. They shattered Tang San's Blue Silver Cage, and each blast struck Ma Hongjun in the air like a target.
