After Shrek entered the finals, the Sun Moon Team will face off against the Star Luo Royal Academy Team, which is one of the most anticipated battles of the tournament. After all, this is the capital of the Star Luo Empire, and the Star Luo Royal Academy Team is their home team.
The Sun Moon Team's lineup remained unchanged, consisting of Ma Rulong, Xu Zhengyang, Xiao Hongchen, Mi Jia, Chen Fei, Lin Xi, and Xiao Xiafeng. Apart from Ma Rulong, the other six members were basically the same lineup that had appeared in recent team battles, and it was essentially the best lineup. At least in the eyes of outsiders, this was the strongest lineup of the Sun Moon Team. However, this time Xu Zhengyang was not at the very back, but in the center of the team.
The Star Luo Royal Academy Team also fielded an all- Soul King lineup, and this was Princess Jiujiu's first appearance.
At this moment, the Star Luo Royal Academy Team formed a very strange formation. Apart from Princess Jiujiu, the other six members were arranged in a triangle, with one person in front, two in the middle, and three in the back. Princess Jiujiu stood at the very back of the team, seemingly detached from the formation.
Their formation looks a bit like a cone, probably to withstand the powerful Soul Tool attacks of the Sun Moon Team, so they put one person at the front while the others provide support.
After both sides were ready, the referee, Heavenly Fiend Douluo, shouted, "The match begins!"
Both sides reacted very quickly, releasing their Martial Soul and Soul Ring immediately. Xu Zhengyang became the only Four-Ring Soul Ancestor on both sides.
A golden light shone on Princess Jiujiu's forehead, followed by a magnificent crown appearing on her head. It was the Star Crown, the inherited Martial Soul of the Star Luo Imperial Family. This was a powerful and ancient auxiliary Tool Martial Soul, which also possessed a certain degree of control ability.
Golden light emanated from Princess Jiujiu's crown, instantly enveloping the other six members of the Star Luo Team. Suddenly, everyone in the Star Luo Team seemed to be covered in a layer of gold, like starlight.
Within this golden light, everyone's attack and defense were significantly enhanced, and even their recovery abilities were improved, truly befitting a legendary top-tier Martial Soul.
The Sun Moon Team reacted just as quickly. Xu Zhengyang struck first, unleashing Level 5 Soul Tool, the Ice Ray, which shot straight at Princess Jiujiu at the back.
Just then, flames flickered around Wang Yichen, the Soul King of the Star Luo Royal Academy Team, and a huge flame shot straight at Xu Zhengyang's Ice Ray Ice Ray, instantly blocking it.
At the same time, a gust of wind swept across the entire arena, enveloping everyone and slowing their movements. This was Wang Shiying, another control Soul Master from the Star Luo Team.
Wang Shiying and Wang Yichen are respectively fire and wind attribute controllers. When they work together, their power is greatly increased, and they are known as the Wind and Fire Dual Control.
Unfortunately, the Sun Moon Team reacted just as quickly. In that instant, countless cannons appeared on everyone's bodies, and the cannon fire poured down on the Star Luo Team, instantly turning the entire arena into ablaze with flames.
Just then, Huang Heyun, who was standing at the forefront of the Sun Moon Team, suddenly had a golden light shining from his body, instantly blocking all the artillery fire. It was the Invincible Shield.
Huang Heyun's Martial Soul is the Dark Demon Tiger, with Soul Power of level 52. He stands at the forefront of the entire Star Luo Team. At this moment, he uses his Invincible Shield to protect everyone in the team and block the attacks from everyone in the Sun Moon Team.
With Huang Heyun's strength, the Invincible Shield can only last for three seconds. Placing him at the front is precisely to buy those three seconds for the Star Luo Royal Academy Team.
But at that moment, Mi Jia fired out several orange-red orbs of light in succession. The orbs stopped around the Invincible Shield and floated around the Star Luo Team.
The instant the Invincible Shield disappeared, these orbs of light began to explode, distorting the entire air. These were touch-sensitive bombs with a delay effect, typically one to three seconds, which could be controlled by Mi Jia himself.
The moment the Invincible Shield disappeared, Princess Jiujiu's people were preparing to take action when they were suddenly hit by a touch-sensitive bomb, catching everyone off guard.
Huang Heyun stood at the forefront, transforming into a gigantic Dark Demon Tiger. The Dark Demon Tiger exuded a strong black aura, swirling around, its body growing larger and larger, its solid muscles shining, and a "king" character appearing on its forehead. What's more, within this black aura, there were even specks of starlight, merging with the golden mist emanating from Princess Jiujiu's crown.
Even so, Ma Rulong and his men were suddenly covered by countless cannons, which fired rapidly, seemingly enveloping the Huang Heyun in an instant.
Huang Heyun gritted his teeth, and a golden light shone from his body once again, creating another Invincible Shield.
Huang Heyun was clearly well aware that if he were defeated, or if the Sun Moon Team broke his formation so easily, he would be in a very passive position and might not even have any power to fight back.
Ma Rulong's hands moved swiftly, and the Soul Cannon on his shoulder emitted a scorching beam of light, striking the Invincible Shield head-on. Even the originally golden Invincible Shield turned crimson, and the beam continued to be emitted.
This is High-Heat Ray that Ma Rulong often uses. It is not only extremely hot, but also extremely fast and can be fired continuously. This is Level 7 Soul Tool that Ma Rulong made himself.
The moment the Invincible Shield broke, Huang Heyun, despite using all his strength, was still attacked by multiple Soul Cannon. Several wounds appeared on his body, especially on his shoulder, where there was a terrifying burn.
Just then, a golden bead suddenly flew out. The bead was shimmering with light and had a total of 108 cross sections. It was about the size of a fist and was flashing with brilliant light. It was spinning rapidly, as if it were a light shield, and rushed towards Ma Rulong.
Ma Rulong's expression changed slightly. " Level 7 Soul Tool with Absolute Defense? I didn't expect you to have prepared something like this. I underestimated you."
Absolute Defense is somewhat similar to Invincible Shield, but Invincible Shield only lasts for three to five seconds, which is very limited in duration. Absolute Defense, on the other hand, can last for a full quarter of an hour and can create a special defensive shield to seal off enemies.
It's important to know that the price of Absolute Defense is extremely high, and the core formation can only be made by the Sun Moon Empire. It can even block attacks from experts at the Soul Douluo level, and its value alone reaches millions of Gold Soul Coin, making it one of the best-selling Soul Tool.
Judging from the Star Luo Empire's actions, they intend to use this Absolute Defense to restrict Ma Rulong; otherwise, with Soul Emperor like Ma Rulong present, they would have no chance of winning.
Unfortunately, with Ma Rulong's strength Level 6 Soul Engineer, he was already capable of creating Level 7 Soul Tool. If it weren't for his insufficient Soul Power Level, he would have been assessed as Level 7 Soul Engineer long ago, and he himself could have created this kind of Absolute Defense.
With a flicker of Soul Power in his hand, Ma Rulong instantly produced a cannon over two meters long and about thirty centimeters in diameter. The cannon landed directly on Ma Rulong's left shoulder, and terrifying Soul Power rapidly entered and charged into it.
Everyone present was utterly shocked by Ma Rulong's actions. This was actually Level 7 Soul Tool, the Thunder Giant Cannon, somewhat similar to the Thunder Giant Cannon assembled by the seven members of the Heavenly Spirit Team, but much smaller and with a much faster charging speed.
Ma Rulong actually used two Level 7 Soul Tool simultaneously. First, the Level 7 Soul Tool Thunder Giant Cannon emitted a terrifying light, which shot straight at the central bead of the Soul Tool's Absolute Defense. The entire Absolute Defense trembled instantly. Then, a terrifying High-Heat Ray was continuously shot out. In just ten breaths, one of the 108 horizontal surfaces of the Level 7 Soul Tool's core was melted by the continuous High-Heat Ray.
As this horizontal plane melted away, the energy shield that formed the Absolute Defense collapsed with a deafening roar.
The Star Luo Team originally intended to use this Absolute Defense to control Ma Rulong, and then surround and attack the other six people, which might give them a chance of winning. Therefore, the moment the Absolute Defense was released, everyone acted quickly and rushed straight into the Sun Moon Team's formation.
Princess Jiujiu, in particular, saw her Fourth Soul Ring light up rapidly. Centered on her body, a dense starlight emanated from her, forming a protective shield like the Sun, effectively blocking all the artillery fire and even splitting the entire arena in two. On one side were Mi Jia, Chen Fei, Lin Xi, and Xiao Xiafeng, while on the other side were Xu Zhengyang, Xiao Hongchen, and Ma Rulong, with Ma Rulong still under the control of Absolute Defense.
The purpose of the Star Luo Team was to divide Xu Zhengyang and his group of seven into three groups, isolate Mi Jia and his group of four, trap Ma Rulong alone, and then gather all their strength to besiege Xu Zhengyang and Xiao Hongchen.
After all, among so many people, Xiao Hongchen's combat power is recognized as the strongest, while Xu Zhengyang is the only control-type Soul Master in the team. If these two are defeated first, and then Ma Rulong is surrounded, there might be hope of winning the team battle.
This is Princess Jiujiu's Fourth Soul Skill: Star Guardian, which is also a powerful area-of-effect defensive Soul Skill. It is precisely because of this Soul Skill that the Star Crown Martial Soul is known as the world's top-tier Martial Soul, and in terms of quality, it is even stronger than the White Tiger Martial Soul of the Silla royal family.
Huang Heyun six companions quickly surrounded Xu Zhengyang and Xiao Hongchen. All of them had their Soul Ring flashing, clearly indicating that they knew very well that the Star Guardian wouldn't last long, and that Mi Jia and his group outside were attacking the Star Guardian with all their might.
Wang Shiying and Wang Yichen's Fourth Soul Ring flashed, and a whirlwind and raging fire quickly swept towards Xu Zhengyang and Xiao Hongchen.
In addition, Huang Heyun transformed into a giant dark demon tiger, another Soul King, Dugu Shangshan, transformed into a Netherworld Lion, Chen Xiaojie transformed into a lightning falcon, and the last Soul King, Sheng Yi, transformed into a giant winged eagle. At the same time, a huge disc appeared behind the four of them. This disc, like a tortoise shell, actually connected the soul power of all of them. At this moment, the four of them looked like a whole.
It was precisely because of this that Huang Heyun, the vice-captain of the Star Luo Team, swelled up again, his veins even becoming visible, and he rushed towards Xu Zhengyang and Xiao Hongchen.
Xu Zhengyang and Xiao Hongchen exchanged a glance and instantly understood that this was Level 5 Soul Tool, the Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument. The Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument is a very special Soul Tool, especially since its core is Silver of Chaos, which can absorb Soul Power of all attributes and enable Soul Master to transfer Soul Power between each other in a short period of time. It is somewhat similar to the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but it is more practical.
Unfortunately, when it comes to using Soul Tool, the Sun Moon Team is still too weak. Their so-called high-end Soul Tool are just ordinary things in the eyes of Xu Zhengyang and Xiao Hongchen.
Xu Zhengyang's figure suddenly changed. All the Soul Tool on his body disappeared and were stored in his Storage Soul Tool. In his place, he held the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear with both hands.
Immediately afterward, Xu Zhengyang thrust his spear at Huang Heyun, his strength surging in that instant, his aura increasing dramatically. The surrounding air seemed to be compressed in an instant, and the spear transformed into a giant tiger, instantly pouncing towards Huang Heyun.
Huang Heyun also went all out, his Third Soul Ring flashing, and a huge Dark Devil Tiger charged directly at Xu Zhengyang, causing the entire space to tremble. This was Huang Heyun's Third Soul Skill: Demon Tiger Shocks the Heavens.
Although this was only Thousand-Year Soul Skill, with the four of them working together, his Soul Power Level had reached the level of a top-tier Soul Emperor, and was even comparable to Soul Sage, not to mention that it was also mixed with powerful wind and fire attribute attacks.
Unfortunately, he clearly underestimated Xu Zhengyang and Xiao Hongchen. Xu Zhengyang's all-out spear thrust was his Self-Created Soul Skill " Tiger Roars in the Mountains and Forests," and he used all his strength in this move as well.
The black Demon Tiger Shocks the Heavens and the fiery red tiger collided, instantly shattering the air and even cracking the ground. Xu Zhengyang took two steps back, while Huang Heyun was sent flying several meters away by Xu Zhengyang.
