Dugu Yan leaped into the air with incredible speed, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of the white "sun" in mid-air. With a swift movement, she unleashed a claw, her five fingers sharp and gleaming. Under Dugu Yan's full power, the dragon claw faintly emitted a chilling green light as it collided with the ball of light.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang."
A violent collision echoed through the arena. Scales covered Dugu Yan's arms, and streaks of colorful poisonous light continuously bloomed. Under the slap of her dragon claws, green light burst forth, finally striking the sphere of light. The scorching sphere of light also released powerful flames, colliding with the poison released by Dugu Yan. For a moment, they were locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Seeing this, Dugu Yan retreated continuously, flipping in the air and landing. Suddenly, seven-colored light emanated from her forehead and body, followed by the appearance of a Seven-Colored Giant Python's head. It opened its blood-red maw and instantly swallowed the entire ball of light, turning it into specks of light that disappeared. Then, the phantom of the Seven-Colored Giant Python's head returned to Dugu Yan's head.
"What? It actually devoured my Soul Skill?"
On the opposite side of the arena, Huo Wu stood up with the help of two Auxiliary System Soul Master. She looked at Dugu Yan, who was standing there with an incredulous expression. Her strongest Ring Fusion Soul Skill had been broken so easily by Dugu Yan, and her opponent didn't seem to have used her full strength.
While she was in a daze, she suddenly saw Jun Yi smile slightly in the distance, then raise his finger. Immediately afterwards, Huo Wu found that the scene in front of her had suddenly changed, and she suddenly appeared in front of Dugu Yan.
"Sister, be careful!" Huo Wushuang shouted, but it was too late. At this moment, Dugu Yan grabbed Huo Wu, who had lost all fighting ability, and used her dragon claw to hold her throat. A stream of seven-colored poisonous mist flowed from Dugu Yan's dragon claw into Huo Wu's body.
Dugu Yan's Dragon Transformation hand transformed into long, slender fingers, gently stroking Huo Wu's soft skin as she smiled and said, "Admit defeat. You have no chance of winning."
Huo Wu's body, already weakened from overdrawing her Soul Power, was further weakened by the effects of Dugu Yan's poison. She was now unable to even struggle, her pretty face turning purplish-red as she gasped for breath.
" Huo Wu, admit defeat!" Huo Wushuang roared. Ever since he saw Dugu Yan summon her Fifth Soul Ring, he knew that the battle was over. Among them, the strongest Soul Power was his and his sister Huo Wu, but they were only level 38 Soul Elder, at least 10 levels lower than Dugu Yan, who was a Soul King. They had no chance of winning at all. The moment he saw Huo Wu captured, he chose to admit defeat.
Huo Wu raised her right hand with all her might, pointing at Dugu Yan, but she could no longer speak. Her lips trembled a few times before slowly falling down, showing her surrender.
Dugu Yan smiled calmly, removed her right hand from Huo Wu's neck, and Huo Wu slumped to the ground, her pupils already dilated. Clearly, Dugu Yan's poison attack had completely damaged her body. Then Dugu Yan raised her hand and absorbed the poison from Huo Wu's body, while the other members of the Blazing Fire Academy also stopped attacking.
They knew they had lost, and lost utterly. Faced with overwhelming power, they had no chance to fight back. Their only hope for a comeback was Huo Wu's Soul Ring Fusion Soul Skill, " Huo Wu's Blazing Sun," but this move was easily neutralized by Dugu Yan, a Soul King, shattering their last hope.
Jun Yi raised his hand, teleporting Huo Wu back to the two Auxiliary System Soul Master of the Blazing Fire Academy, and said to the referee, "Referee, you can declare us the winner."
The referee understood, walked to the center of the arena, and announced loudly, "The winner of the second round of the semi-finals is Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team."
A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy had truly given the audience a lot of shock. They had originally thought that Jun Yi would turn the tide of the game again and win the match with the help of his mysterious Soul Skill and teammates.
To their surprise, Dugu Yan stepped forward today, directly displaying her strength as a level 52 Soul King. With her ten-thousand-year fourth-ring Soul Skill and Dragon Transformation Skill, she routed Blazing Fire Academy. Even Huo Wu's ultimate Soul Skill, " Huo Wu's Blazing Sun," was easily broken in a short time. Such a feat was enough to shock everyone.
"So what Jun Yi said about their academy's trump card being Dugu Yan is true." On the Skywater Academy side, Shui Bing'er muttered to herself. She really didn't expect that Dugu Yan would break through to the Soul King level and even possess the fourth ring of the Ten Thousand Years Realm. No wonder Jun Yi so confident; it turned out that there was this unfathomably powerful girl hidden by his side.
Shui Bing'er's gaze towards Dugu Yan was filled with complex emotions. She clearly remembered that Dugu Yan's strength was only level 37 not long ago, and in less than a month, how could she have improved so much?
Shui Bing'er subconsciously looked at Jun Yi, feeling for some reason that Dugu Yan's improvement was related to Jun Yi. After all, it was all too coincidental. Jun Yi came to Heaven Dou City and Dugu Yan's Soul Power improved so much. This inevitably made her think of Jun Yi.
Jun Yi and the others stepped off the stage, greeted by thunderous cheers. The previous battles had been truly spectacular for the audience! In particular, Dugu Yan's near-invincible state had deeply impressed every spectator. After all, Dugu Yan had previously been standing at the back of the group, without even releasing her Martial Soul. Many students who didn't know Dugu Yan's identity even thought she was Auxiliary System Soul Master. But today, Dugu Yan's performance was astonishing, drawing everyone's attention.
" Sister Yanyan, all the cheers today are for you, are you happy?" Jun Yi whispered in Dugu Yan's ear.
Dugu Yan smiled with a hint of teasing, "Of course I'm happy, it feels pretty good. Tomorrow in the competition, I won't hold back, I'll give those pretty girls a good fight."
"Then we'll have to rely on Sister Yanyan tomorrow. I'll play support for you and watch you perform from the sidelines," Jun Yi replied. He loved watching girls fight, especially when both sides were beautiful girls.
Hearing Jun Yi's words, Dugu Yan Jun Yi at him sideways and mocked, "You're chatting so well with the girls from the Skywater Academy, I'm afraid you little pervert will turn on me later, what am I supposed to do then?"
"Don't worry, Sister Yanyan, I promise you, I'll just look and won't touch anything."
