Reactions varied across the arena.
But it wasn't just the other teams that were shocked. Even Ma Rulong and the others on the Sun Moon Empire's team were dumbstruck.
Come on, man... you never showed us this move during tryouts!
During tryouts, everyone had known that Xu Cheng had two Martial Souls. But aside from his Sun Martial Soul, his Blood Eyes Martial Soul had only been used for Spiritual Sharing and barely made its presence felt. Everyone had subconsciously assumed that the Sun was Xu Cheng's main Martial Soul, while Blood Eyes served only a supporting role.
Only now did the corner of Ma Rulong's mouth twitch violently.
Perhaps he simply hadn't needed to use this move against them.

The other reserve team members slowly came back to their senses as well and followed Xu Cheng off the arena.
Tang Ya quietly drew closer and murmured into his ear, "You'd better not use that move on girls. That mental manipulation stuff..."

Tang Ya: "..."
Her anger rose visibly, teetering on the brink of eruption.
She clenched her pearly teeth. "Xu Cheng, just you wait~!"
Their voices had been quiet.
But everyone around them
