Above the arena, the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy stared at the blazing white sphere of light. The pressure felt by Osler, Yu Feng, and the others increased sharply. They were certain that if they were touched by that sphere of light, even they would not be in a good state and would likely be seriously injured.
" Huo Wu, Radiant Sun!"
With Huo Wu's shout, a piercing buzzing sound erupted around the white orb of light. Then, it suddenly exploded, and a huge ball of white light burst out, like the sun. The scorching temperature instantly swept across the entire arena, the intense heat distorting the air, and the violent fluctuations seemed to threaten to incinerate the arena.
Seeing this, Qin Ming, standing below the arena, showed a hint of worry. He hadn't expected Huo Wu to actually unleash the Ring Fusion skill. However, seeing that Jun Yi and Dugu Yan's expressions remained unchanged and as calm as ever, he felt somewhat at ease.
On the arena, Huo Wu had already exhausted her Soul Power. She knelt on the ground with difficulty, her heart pounding. After all, she was only a three-ring Soul Elder. When she used the Ring Fusion Technique to simultaneously fuse the Soul Power of two Auxiliary System Soul Master, her own consumption was at its maximum. However, she knew that Jun Yi and the others were very strong, so she had no confidence at all. Only by going all out could she possibly win. This was the only way she could think of.
Meanwhile, at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Jun Yi gazed at the white sphere of light in mid-air that resembled the sun, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Huo Wu's display of ring Ring Fusion strength was indeed undeniable, and it was worthwhile for the other students to distract Jun Yi at the start, buying time for Huo Wu to unleash "Fire Huo Wu's Blazing Sun." In the case of an ordinary academy, facing such a powerful attack, they would most likely perish here. Unfortunately, she was facing Jun Yi, as well as Dugu Yan, Soul King with a fourth ring of ten thousand years and Soul Power level of 52.
" Sister Yanyan, shall we go?" Jun Yi asked Dugu Yan behind him, wanting to see if she was willing to help.
Dugu Yan stepped forward, her high heels clicking on the ground. She smiled and said, " Little Brother Jun, let me do it. If I don't make a move, people will think I'm just a pretty face protected by the team." As she spoke, she walked to the bottom of the sphere of light and looked up at it.
Behind her, the faint mist that had enveloped her dissipated, and five Soul Ring —yellow, yellow, purple, black, and black—slowly appeared with each step she took. The phantom of the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon behind her also gradually came into focus.
"Look at that girl's Soul Ring! Am I seeing things? How come she has five Soul Ring?"
"A Soul King! The Heaven Dou Royal Academy actually has a Soul King! How is that possible? How old is she?"
"Not only that, look at her Soul Ring! The fourth one is black, that's Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring! How is that possible?"
The audience was in an uproar. Before today's match, who would have thought that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would be hiding a Soul King? And such a young Soul King at that, with Fourth Soul Ring that was already ten thousand years old. This was completely beyond their comprehension. Soul Master only have ten thousand years old Soul Rings on their Fifth Soul Ring. This was a universally acknowledged truth. They had never heard of anyone having a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring Fourth Soul Ring!
Xue Qinghe on the high platform was also shocked, a thoughtful look in his eyes. He turned to Ning Fengzhi and asked, "Teacher, how did she manage to reach ten thousand years for her Fourth Soul Ring? This doesn't make sense."
Seeing Xue Qinghe's surprised expression, Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and said, "The age of Soul Ring that Soul Master can absorb is related to the Soul Master's physical condition. The stronger the physique, the higher the age of the Soul Ring that can be absorbed, and the greater the boost that the Soul Ring brings to the Soul Master. Therefore, some Soul Master can absorb Soul Ring with relatively high ages, just like Xiao Yi, whose First Soul Ring was about 900 years old."
Speaking of this, Ning Fengzhi paused, and said with a little sigh, "But the fourth ring of ten thousand years is indeed a bit shocking. To be honest, I was also shocked when I saw it. Thousand-year soul rings are different from ten-thousand-year soul rings. When absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring, there will be soul shock. The improvement of the soul will make the soul master more sensitive when fighting, and the reaction and speed will be improved, and even the spirit will be improved. The power will also increase accordingly. However, in addition to this, for every additional ten-thousand-year soul ring absorbed, the pain that needs to be borne will also increase exponentially. This pain is no less than reborn. If there is a slight difference, the soul may collapse. Therefore, generally soul masters will choose to absorb the ten-thousand-year soul ring during the soul king period, because most soul masters have reached adulthood at that time, and their souls can withstand the shock."
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe nodded and said, "I see. It's a pity that my talent is too low. I'm still just an ordinary Soul Ancestor, and I don't understand anything about Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."
" Qinghe, you are destined to become the ruler of a country in the future. Soul Power is not the first thing you should cultivate," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.
Xue Qinghe turned his gaze back to Dugu Yan on the training ground and pondered, "I didn't expect that our Heaven Dou Empire would produce another genius like her. If I remember correctly, the Poison Douluo's granddaughter is not yet 18 years old, but she has already become Soul King. A title is within reach."
Above the arena, Dugu Yan's Fourth Soul Ring lit up. The jet-black Soul Ring emitted the Soul Power fluctuations of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. Her clothes fluttered, her long black hair danced, and her eyes flashed with a sharp, cold light. Her aura suddenly surged.
"Fourth Soul Skill: Five Poisons Gather and Disperse "
"Rumble..." A loud rumble came, and the ground beneath her feet suddenly trembled. Then, the illusory Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon behind her suddenly opened its huge mouth and roared to the sky, and a circle of black ripples quickly spread out.
As the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon roared towards the sky, the crimson orb of light trembled slightly.
Dugu Yan snorted coldly, her delicate eyebrows furrowing, her right fist clenched tightly, and her Soul Power surged wildly forth. Behind her, the Poison Dragon Poison Dragon merged with Dugu Yan herself. Her arms suddenly lengthened, covered in emerald green scales, and her hands transformed into claws. Every joint in her hands became extremely large, and the poisonous mist swirling around her body constantly condensed or flowed on her arms. The terrifying soul pressure instantly filled the arena, causing the already scorching temperature of the competition arena to drop several degrees. The dragon claws were covered with colorful light from the Jade Phosphor Five Poisons. Her right leg bent like a spring, ready to strike. With a swift movement, she transformed into a blur and darted away.
"That's... the Dragon Transformation of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul? How could Dugu Yan possibly possess such a skill? Isn't her Martial Soul the Jade Phosphor Serpent?"
In the stands, Yu Tianxin from the Thunder Academy watched the changes happening to Dugu Yan on the stage, her face showing shock.
