The tournament had its rules.
Although every academy was allowed to use soul tools, strict restrictions applied.
Soul Masters could not use soul tools above their own level.
Fixed-Installation Soul Cannons were outright forbidden.
The reason was simple.
Compared with other offensive soul tools,
Fixed-Installation Soul Cannons were far too destructive.
A Class 6 Fixed-Installation Soul Cannon could even kill a Soul Emperor.
That seriously undermined the tournament's fairness.
Using one would immediately be ruled cheating.
Facing Xiao Hongchen's Soul Cannon,
the Tianling Team adopted the traditional three-two-one-one formation.
Their agility-type Soul Masters
had intended to use their speed advantage to draw Xiao Hongchen's attention,
creating an opening for their teammates.
But with the support of Chen Mo's two soul skills, All-Domain Shared Search and Three-Flower Pupils: Illusion Break,
Xiao Hongchen locked precisely onto his opponents and smiled faintly. "Take this!"
He pulled the trigger.
The Soul Cannon in his hands instantly fired several shells in succession.
Normally,
a Soul Cannon, regardless of its class, should not have been capable of continuous fire.
But Xiao Hongchen's
had been specially modified by him and Chen Mo when they were bored in their spare time.
However, this modified Soul Cannon capable of firing shells continuously
had one drawback.
Its recoil was too strong.
Xiao Hongchen had to use his second soul skill to greatly enhance his control over metal before he could operate it properly.
Boom, boom, boom...
The sounds of a precisely targeted saturation bombardment rang out.
In the very next moment,
the Invincible Shields carried by all seven Tianling Team members on the field triggered automatically.
That meant they had been eliminated.
"Heavens, that was terrifying!"
"Waaah! I want to go home to my mom!"
"I don't want to compete anymore..."
That single barrage had scared the Tianling Team out
