At this moment, not only were the Sun Moon Team members on the arena shocked, but all the spectators in the entire Soul Fighting Arena were also shocked. Princess Jiujiu's tactics were originally very good. She used Star Guardian and Absolute Defense to isolate Ma Rulong and the other five people respectively, and maximized her strength with the Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument. At the same time, Huang Heyun also had the amplification of Princess Jiujiu's Star Crown Martial Soul.
From any perspective, Huang Heyun's attack at this moment, although it was only Thousand-Year Soul Skill, still possessed at least the strength of a top-tier Soul Emperor, and even reached the level of Soul Sage.
Moreover, he was targeting Xu Zhengyang and Xiao Hongchen. Although Xiao Hongchen was powerful, he was only Soul King. Xu Zhengyang was even weaker, currently only Soul Ancestor, and was recognized as the weakest among the two teams. If Xu Zhengyang weren't a control Soul Master, people would think Xu Zhengyang was just trying to ride on the coattails of others.
But at this moment, Xu Zhengyang's full-force spear strike was even somewhat difficult for Huang Heyun to withstand. Only then did everyone realize that Xu Zhengyang was not a control-type Soul Master at all, but a true Power Attack System Battle Soul Master with extremely astonishing attack power.
"I'm sorry, this Star Crown Martial Soul is indeed powerful and mysterious, but you've underestimated us. You've used a trap to lure us in, and we're just as ready to strike straight at our heart."
As soon as Xu Zhengyang finished speaking, Xiao Hongchen had completely changed. Just now, when Xu Zhengyang was fighting Huang Heyun, Xiao Hongchen's first, second, third and fourth Soul Ring flashed at the same time. The Three-Legged Golden Toad quickly changed, and countless cannons appeared in an instant. There were hundreds of cannons in total, and the whole person was like a hedgehog.
Xiao Hongchen's First Soul Skill, Metal Control, increases his ability to control metal, as well as the quantity and compatibility of the metals he can control. His Second Soul Skill, Gold Boiling, puts his Soul Power into a boiling state, which not only increases the power of his Soul Skill but also rapidly increases the speed at which he can use other Soul Skill. He can even absorb metal elements from the air.
His Third Soul Skill, Gold Form Condensation, allows him to use his mental power to carve the core of a soul tool and quickly turn any metal he comes into contact with into Soul Tool. His Fourth Soul Skill, Gold Sacrifice, allows him to burn his Soul Power to greatly increase the power of the Soul Tool and even restore his own Soul Power.
If the two sides are far apart, using four Soul Skill in a row is a desperate gamble, and long-range attacks may not be as effective.
Princess Jiujiu used Star Guardian, and now Xu Zhengyang, Xiao Hongchen, and the seven Star Luo Royal Academy Team are all isolated in a small area of the arena by Star Guardian. Originally, this was to make it easier for the Star Luo Royal Academy Team to surround and attack Xu Zhengyang and Xiao Hongchen as soon as possible, and at the same time to restrict the escape of Xu Zhengyang and Xiao Hongchen.
But precisely because of this, the Star Guardian is like a giant cage, trapping the seven members of the Star Luo Royal Academy Team.
In an instant, hundreds of cannons on Xiao Hongchen's body flashed with terrifying energy, and countless cannon fire quickly enveloped the seven members of the Star Luo Royal Academy Team. Even with their Invincible Shield, they could only hold out for three seconds and were unable to continuously block Xiao Hongchen's attacks.
At that moment, Ma Rulong actually used two Level 7 Soul Tool, the High-Heat Ray and the Thunder Giant Cannon, to break through the Absolute Defense. The original plan was to trap Ma Rulong for a quarter of an hour, but unexpectedly, it didn't even last a minute.
The Thunder Giant Cannon on Ma Rulong's left shoulder rapidly charged, unleashing a terrifying barrage of fire that shot straight at the Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument. The Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument, which was already operating at high speed, was instantly reduced to ashes by the Thunder Giant Cannon's attack.
Huang Heyun, whose strength had greatly increased through the Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument, suddenly lost his Soul Power support due to the explosion of the Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument. He was even blown away by the Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument, and the other three were also impacted, spitting out blood.
When the scene returned to calm, Xu Zhengyang, Ma Rulong, and Xiao Hongchen formed a triangle and surrounded the seven members of the Star Luo Royal Academy Team. Among them, Huang Heyun and three others were seriously injured and fell to the ground, spitting blood. Princess Jiujiu, Wang Shiying, and Wang Yichen remained, but all three were only support Soul Master and had also been impacted, looking very disheveled.
Princess Jiujiu's face showed resentment. "How is this possible? How could you break through the Absolute Defense so quickly? Even Soul Douluo should be able to be trapped for at least five minutes."
Ma Rulong scoffed, " Princess Jiujiu, are you mistaken? When it comes to the creation and use of Soul Tool, our Sun Moon Empire is far superior to yours."
"Just like the Absolute Defense you use, I can actually make it myself. Of course I know the weaknesses of this Absolute Defense, and I know how to break Absolute Defense control. As for the Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument, it's an outdated product from many years ago. How could I not know its weaknesses?"
"Trying to play with Soul Tool in front of Soul Engineer like us, isn't that underestimating us a bit?"
Princess Jiujiu's face turned extremely bitter upon hearing this. Her plan had succeeded in the battle just now, but she hadn't expected the other party to be completely unconcerned. In fact, the other party immediately turned the tables on her and defeated all seven of them with just three people.
"It seems I was truly wrong, and I really underestimated your use of Soul Tool. We concede defeat in this team battle."
At this point, Princess Jiujiu suddenly looked at Xu Zhengyang, a hint of resentment in her eyes. " Xu Zhengyang, have you been pretending to be weak all along? From beginning to end, you were Control Department Soul Master in the team. I never imagined you were hiding so well; you're actually Battle Soul Master."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have given Xiao Hongchen so much time. With Huang Heyun's strength just now, he could have easily defeated you."
Xu Zhengyang shook his head. "I never said I was a Soul Master who controls Soul Master. It's just that Soul Engineer teams like ours usually don't have Soul Masters who control Soul Master, so I'm just relying on my combat awareness to take control. I didn't expect there to be such an unexpected surprise."
Princess Jiujiu couldn't help but sigh, " Ma Rulong, Xu Zhengyang, Xiao Hongchen, you are all very strong. I underestimated you, but we will not give up easily. Let's see who is truly stronger in the individual battles next."
Ma Rulong, Xu Zhengyang, and Xiao Hongchen exchanged a glance, smiled slightly, and left the arena without paying any more attention to Princess Jiujiu.
The Sun Moon Team achieved a complete victory in this team battle. Apart from expending some Soul Power, none of them were injured. However, the Star Luo Royal Academy Team was not so lucky. At least four of their Soul King suffered injuries of varying degrees, and it will probably be difficult for them to recover in a short time.
The audience was equally disappointed, never expecting that the Star Luo Empire, the host, would lose so easily. The high-level Soul Master, on the other hand, were even more aware of the intricacies of this battle.
The Shrek Academy members were extremely serious. In terms of the team battle, theoretically, the Star Luo Royal Academy Team's plan was completely successful. They controlled Ma Rulong, the Soul Emperor, and separated Xiao Hongchen, the strongest fighter, from Xu Zhengyang, the Control Department fighter. They could then concentrate their strength to attack these two. If they succeeded, they could immediately gather their strength to attack Ma Rulong.
As for the other four, although they are also Soul King, they are clearly much weaker than Xiao Hongchen, so they can still win by virtue of their numbers.
Unfortunately, the Sun Moon Team was much stronger than they had imagined. Although Ma Rulong was only Level 6 Soul Engineer and Soul Emperor, it was unimaginable that he could break through the Absolute Defense Level 7 Soul Tool so quickly.
What surprised them even more was that Xu Zhengyang, a Control Department Soul Master, actually possessed such terrifying combat power, capable of contending with Huang Heyun, who had used the Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument. With such formidable combat strength, was he still just Soul Ancestor?
Wang Yan appeared extremely worried. "The Sun Moon Team is stronger than we imagined; they are practically unfathomable. I can't even imagine how strong they could be if they really went all out."
Huo Yuhao, standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought, "Teacher Wang, if all our main team members were present, could we defeat the Sun Moon Team?"
Wang Yan shook his head. "I don't know either. I estimate that the strength of both sides will be very close. Our Shrek Team has one more Soul Emperor, and the combat power of Soul Engineer is above that of Soul Sage, so they can indeed suppress Soul Master of the same level. If a real battle breaks out, the outcome is hard to predict."
"However, I still find it a bit strange. I can probably predict the strength of the others, but I really can't understand Xu Zhengyang. How can a Soul Ancestor like him defeat Huang Heyun? I've watched Huang Heyun's matches, and his strength is not bad, not to mention that he gathered the Soul Power of four people."
"I've seen many Soul Engineer from the Sun Moon Empire, but I've never seen anyone cultivate their Martial Soul to this level, nor have I ever seen anyone with such strong physical attributes. It's simply unbelievable."
Huo Yuhao stared intently at Xu Zhengyang in the center of the arena, his whole demeanor unusually solemn. He felt as if there was some kind of bond or hatred between him and Xu Zhengyang, but he couldn't figure out where this feeling came from. Logically speaking, this was the first time the two had met, and they should have had no prior contact or conflict.
But this consciousness seemed to be engraved in the deepest part of their souls. Just as Skydream Iceworm said, the two seemed to restrain each other, like a conflict between ice and fire.
After a half-hour break, the second individual match will begin immediately.
Even though the Star Luo Royal Academy Team fought with all their might, they were still defeated at a very fast pace. Xu Zhengyang did not play, but the others performed very well. Xiao Hongchen once again defeated four opponents in a row, leaving the Star Luo Royal Academy Team in a very sorry state.
With this victory, the Sun Moon Team won two consecutive matches, eliminating the Star Luo Royal Academy Team and advancing to the finals.
The final will be held in three days, giving both teams ample time to rest and recover.
Everyone is now predicting which team will win the final championship. The two teams have been rivals for many years. In the past, Shrek Team has always defeated Sun Moon Team, and Shrek Team has always been the champion.
Judging from the current situation, both teams have extremely strong dominance. The Shrek Team has the two strongest Soul Emperor, while the Sun Moon Team is extremely well-balanced and can gain a great advantage by relying on Soul Tool.
Xu Zhengyang, meanwhile, was in the hotel strategizing based on the abilities of both sides. If the two sides were to fight, Shrek's biggest advantage would be...
It was the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of top-tier Soul Emperor Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong. Xu Zhengyang didn't care much about the others, at least they posed no threat to him.
The Shrek Team's disadvantage is that they have too few members, only ten in total. The finals are played continuously without any rest time in between, so if any member is injured, there is no way to replace them.
"If Meng Hongchen participates in the first team battle, and if Meng Hongchen's Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad poisons everyone on the opposing team, Shrek might not even have anyone to participate in the third battle."
