Nanmen Yun'er looked at Xiao Xiao with lingering fear. If Ning Tian had not freed her from the control effect in time, she would have been seriously injured even if she had escaped elimination. She admitted that she had underestimated Xiao Xiao.
Wang Dong'er was not worried about Huo Yuhao's situation at all. If worse came to worst, he still had his Spiritual Shock. She focused all her efforts on fighting Wu Feng.
"Dragon's Fire!"
Her first soul ring lit up, and red flames ignited over Wu Feng's body. Every blow she delivered carried the scorching heat of those flames.
Wang Dong'er knew she could not meet force with force.
She used her advantage in flight to attack with Wing Guillotine.
With Huo Yuhao's support, Wang Dong'er could dodge Wu Feng's fists with precision, driving Wu Feng nearly mad with frustration.
"Why? Why can't I hit you?"
"Because you're too weak!"
Wang Dong'er's taunt made Wu Feng even angrier.
She unleashed her second soul skill, "Dragon's Wrath," greatly increasing her strength and defense.
Instead, her anger made her attacks disorderly, leaving her even less able to touch Wang Dong'er.
No matter how strong she was, her strength was useless if she could not land a hit.
Just as Wang Dong'er dodged Wu Feng's attack, Nanmen Yun'er suddenly unleashed a soul skill and attacked her.
"Wang Dong, watch out!"
Xiao Xiao wanted to block the attack with the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, but it was already too late. She quickly recalled it instead.
Then a green flute appeared in Xiao Xiao's hand.
As the flute sounded, Nanmen Yun'er and Wu Feng's movements slowed considerably.
Although Xiao Xiao could not completely restrain Nanmen Yun'er, she gave Wang Dong'er time to react.
"Butterfly God's Light!"
The golden patterns on Wang Dong'er's wings shone brilliantly. Beams of light shot out, striking toward Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er.
Both hurried to dodge and defend themselves.
Wang Dong'er immediately retreated, escaping their encirclement.
"Twin martial souls!"
Seeing Xiao Xiao use her second martial soul, her opponents were all somewhat astonished.
Twin martial souls were far rarer than even a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
"Seven Treasures Have Names!"
Ning Tian's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone again.
Yet her support did not reach Wu Feng or Nanmen Yun'er.
"What's going on?"
The two looked over and discovered that Ning Tian had fallen into a daze.
"What a chance!"
Wang Dong'er knew Huo Yuhao had created this opening for them and swiftly charged toward Ning Tian.
"Stop!"
Wu Feng hurried to intercept Wang Dong'er. If Ning Tian was eliminated, their team's strength would drop drastically.
"Hmph, you're not getting past me!"
With a wave of Xiao Xiao's hand, the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron shuddered and split into three, blocking Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er.
"Seven Treasures Have Names! First: speed!"
Ning Tian came to her senses and cast a soul skill on herself, hoping to increase her speed and evade Wang Dong'er.
But Wang Dong'er's attack was hardly that easy to dodge.
She kicked Ning Tian directly, knocking her to the ground.
"Butterfly God's Light!"
Wang Dong'er climbed higher and unleashed Butterfly God's Light at Ning Tian. If this attack struck, Ning Tian would be defeated.
Just as Butterfly God's Light was about to hit, a figure blocked Ning Tian's path. It was Nanmen Yun'er.
Nanmen Yun'er flew back at tremendous speed and took the attack for Ning Tian. However, she collapsed to the ground, unable to continue fighting.
The assessment teacher immediately took Nanmen Yun'er off the field.
"Seven Treasures Have Names! First: speed! Second: release! Third: strength!"
Having lost a teammate, the remaining two were furious and fought with everything they had.
Three kinds of enhancement descended on Wu Feng.
Wu Feng's overall strength rose rapidly, reaching the Soul Elder level.
A Soul Elder-level power attack system Soul Master was no easy opponent.
"Wang Dong, I'll help you!"
Xiao Xiao summoned the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to block Wu Feng's first strike, but the cauldron was smashed back as well.
Wang Dong'er stepped forward and used Wing Guillotine to clash with Wu Feng.
Wu Feng's strength had indeed increased considerably, but Wang Dong'er could still hold her own.
"Xiao Xiao, I'll leave the rest to you two."
Huo Yuhao's eyes shone with intense golden light.
Ning Tian suddenly felt as though her head had been struck, far harder than before.
The enhancement soul skills she had been maintaining broke off, and she fainted outright.
Huo Yuhao was not faring well either. Ning Tian's spiritual power was formidable, not much weaker than his own.
Using Spiritual Shock against someone with stronger spiritual power would also have a severe effect on Huo Yuhao himself.
He could no longer provide any assistance for the rest of the fight.
"Well done, Yuhao. Leave the rest to me."
Huo Yuhao had taken himself out of the fight to eliminate the opposing team's only Soul Elder, which was good news for Wang Dong'er and her teammates.
Moreover, once Ning Tian's enhancements ended, Wu Feng's strength weakened as well.
Xiao Xiao used the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to attack in tandem with Wang Dong'er.
Wu Feng could not fend off their attacks alone.
"Cauldron's Tremor!"
Xiao Xiao stunned Wu Feng again.
Wang Dong'er's Butterfly God's Light struck her, inflicting heavy damage.
By the time Ning Tian groggily regained consciousness, Wu Feng was already lying on the ground. Their team no longer had the strength to continue fighting.
"I concede."
Without a power attack system Soul Master, even Ning Tian's Soul Elder cultivation was of little use.
Wang Dong'er felt that support system Soul Masters would sometimes be better off learning a few offensive soul skills.
The Sun Moon Empire's soul tools did a very good job of compensating for this weakness.
Wang Dong'er felt that soul tools were particularly suited to support and control system Soul Masters. They could protect themselves when an opponent attacked.
Moreover, their spiritual power was already relatively high, allowing the soul tools they controlled to unleash greater power.
"Victory goes to Huo Yuhao's team from Freshman Class One!"
"Yuhao, are you all right?" Wang Dong'er walked over and asked.
"I'm fine. Ning Tian's spiritual power was quite impressive. It took me some effort to knock her out."
After winning this match, Wang Dong'er and her teammates smoothly advanced to the round of sixteen.
According to Zhou Yi, three teams had members who had reached the Soul Elder level this time.
They had already dealt with one, and the remaining two would not be a problem either.
On the second day of the elimination rounds, everyone returned to the assessment area to compete.
They would again fight two matches today to determine the top four teams.
The battles in the round of sixteen were bound to be much more exciting than the earlier ones, so considerably more spectators had come to watch.
One person stood out on the raised platform: a somewhat slovenly old man who was drinking wine while gnawing on a chicken drumstick.
With a single glance, Wang Dong'er recognized Shrek Academy's ultimate old liability, Xuan Zi.
"Wang Dong, what are you looking at?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"Look at that old man on the platform. Doesn't he seem a little familiar?"
Huo Yuhao looked at Xuan Zi.
Xuan Zi suddenly raised his head, meeting Huo Yuhao's gaze.
"He doesn't seem familiar. This should be my first time seeing him, right?"
"I don't mean you've met him before. Don't you think he has some similarities to the old man who sleeps outside our dormitory?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head, completely unable to see any resemblance.
Perhaps their greatest similarity was that both old men were very old?
