The battle quickly became intense, with Xiao Hongchen fighting against Ling Luochеn four companions. Although the two sides were evenly matched for a short time, everyone knew that using Xiao Hongchen to hold back the four Shrek members was definitely a win.
With his incredible speed, flight ability, and Soul Tool, Chen Fei managed to hold off the relatively slower Xu Sanshi for a short time. Chen Fei wasn't looking for a quick victory; he just wanted to prevent Xu Sanshi from having time to assist the others or use his powerful defense to help them.
Ma Xiaotao and Ma Rulong were locked in combat. Both were well aware that their opponent was too strong, and if they couldn't restrain him, it would have a huge impact on the entire battle.
Ma Rulong is Level 6 Soul Engineer, and even has several Level 7 Soul Tool. If you can't restrain Ma Rulong Ma Rulong, with his powerful attack and control over the Soul Tool, you can definitely suppress the entire battlefield. This is Ma Rulong's usual tactic after the start of the competition.
Throughout the entire Soul Master Tournament, only Ma Xiaotao has been able to suppress Ma Rulong, and similarly, only Ma Rulong has been able to hold Ma Xiaotao back by himself.
Dai Yueheng is relatively more complicated; he needs to face Xu Zhengyang, Meng Hongchen, and Mi Jia simultaneously.
The attack from Xiao Xiafeng and his Xu Zhengyang of four was not aimed at suppressing Dai Yueheng, but rather at severely injuring him. This is why the two sides were locked in a stalemate. Otherwise, Xu Zhengyang alone could have stood his ground against Dai Yueheng.
This tactic also has another purpose: to prolong the battle and inflict heavy casualties on multiple opponents. This battle is not about winning or losing, but about how many people the enemy can lose. Xu Zhengyang already knew the outcome. In terms of team battle alone, the Sun Moon Team would win. This is the suppression of Soul Master Soul Tool, which is an absolute suppression of strength.
So far, Meng Hongchen has only displayed the strength of Soul Engineer, appearing to be like Xu Zhengyang, a close-combat Soul Engineer. He hasn't even used any Soul Skill, intending to slowly poison everyone on the opposing team. Otherwise, if he were to go all out, the Shrek Team would definitely surrender immediately and abandon the first match. Everything is proceeding according to Xu Zhengyang's plan.
Clearly, Dai Yueheng quickly realized the Sun Moon Team's intentions. If the Shrek Team wanted to win, he had to hold off the four's attacks and buy time for Huo Yuhao Huo Yuhao his group to defeat Xiao Hongchen. In this way, the Sun Moon Team would suffer losses first and gradually gain control of the battle.
With a loud shout, Dai Yueheng's Third Soul Ring and Fifth Soul Ring flashed simultaneously. His muscles rapidly expanded, his entire body swelled, and even his strength and defense increased dramatically. This was Dai Yueheng's Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Fifth Soul Skill: White Tiger Demon God Transformation.
Both of Dai Yueheng's Soul Skill are top-tier amplification Soul Skill. After using both Soul Skill simultaneously, Dai Yueheng's strength has even approached that of Soul Sage.
Even so, Xu Zhengyang did not back down. The destructive power of the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear increased again, and the attacks became even more fierce. Meanwhile, Meng Hongchen was beside Xu Zhengyang, looking for an opening to launch an attack on Dai Yueheng.
The battle between the two sides was becoming increasingly fierce, and they were in a strange balance. Xu Zhengyang's combat power surprised everyone. Xu Zhengyang was able to fight Dai Yueheng, a Soul Emperor, head-on, and even used two amplified Soul Skill. This kind of combat power was terrifying. Meng Hongchen, Mi Jia, and the others were only looking for an opening to attack Dai Yueheng.
At that moment, Xu Zhengyang underwent a sudden change. His First Soul Ring flashed, and the entire Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear seemed to be filled with flames. At the same time, his attack power and strength increased greatly, and even the air seemed to have a faint explosion effect. This was Xu Zhengyang's First Soul Skill: Explosive Flame Shattering Spear.
Xu Zhengyang's spear thrust straight at Dai Yueheng's chest, causing the air to explode as if a tiger had been unleashed. At the same time, the spear itself resembled a giant tiger, charging towards Dai Yueheng. This was Xu Zhengyang's Self-Created Soul Skill: Tiger Roars in the Mountains and Forests.
Dai Yueheng, who had originally managed to withstand the attacks of the four people with his two amplified Soul Skill, clearly felt that Xu Zhengyang's attack was several times more powerful, and even he, a Soul Emperor, felt extremely dangerous.
Dai Yueheng suddenly roared, his First Soul Ring flashed, and a white light shield formed around his entire body, further strengthening his body. Even his head looked incredibly ferocious. This was Dai Yueheng's First Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Barrier.
Clearly, Dai Yueheng was going all out to stop Xu Zhengyang and his group of four, and his two huge tiger claws charged straight at Xu Zhengyang.
Xu Zhengyang used both his First Soul Skill and his Self-Created Soul Skill at the same time, giving it his all. The two were like two extremely ferocious tigers clashing, neither willing to admit defeat, and their actions were exceptionally brutal.
After the two sides clashed with all their might, Xu Zhengyang was forced back a full meter. Dai Yueheng was indeed formidable, especially with the three amplified Soul Skill, he had reached his peak in every aspect.
Even so, after forcefully blocking Xu Zhengyang's shot, the white light shield around Dai Yueheng shattered instantly, as it had been forcefully broken by Xu Zhengyang.
Dai Yueheng's eyes were filled with disbelief. He had already used three amplification Soul Skill at the same time, yet he still couldn't gain an absolute advantage. He had actually been blocked by a Soul Ancestor, and even his White Tiger Protective Barrier had been broken by the opponent. What terrifying combat power this was!
But at this moment, Dai Yueheng seemed to have unleashed some kind of ferocity. His Soul Power changed, and instantly a large sword over a meter long appeared in his hand. It was the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade that had appeared at the auction.
As Dai Yueheng wielded the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, a terrifying aura instantly emanated from it, boosting its attack power and other aspects once again. This Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade was indeed a perfect match for Dai Yueheng's Martial Soul.
Unfortunately, Xu Zhengyang was completely unfazed by the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade. His Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear once again struck straight at Dai Yueheng's right shoulder. Helpless, Dai Yueheng could only slash at Xu Zhengyang's Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear with all his might. The Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear and the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade clashed repeatedly, neither showing any intention of retreating, both displaying overwhelming power.
Meanwhile, Mi Jia and Xiao Xiafeng simultaneously attacked Dai Yueheng with Soul Cannon, causing Dai Yueheng to retreat repeatedly. Meng Hongchen seized the opportunity and repeatedly attacked Dai Yueheng's head with a level-six soul-guided longsword.
At this moment, Dai Yueheng was gradually overwhelmed. He was not only being charged head-on by Xu Zhengyang (the two were very close in all aspects, and neither could suppress the other), but also being attacked from other directions. He began to retreat step by step. Even though he was Soul Emperor, even though he used three amplified Soul Skill, and even though he used the Level 8 Soul Tool Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, the whole battle situation seemed to be gradually changing.
Everyone outside the arena began to understand the Sun Night Team's intention: to concentrate all their strength and defeat Dai Yueheng, the Soul Emperor, first. Ma Rulong and the other two were only there to restrain them. If this continued, Dai Yueheng would definitely not be able to hold out for long.
The others wanted to rescue Dai Yueheng, but they were all restrained by their respective opponents. Xu Sanshi was too slow, and even with his extremely strong defense, he could not break free from Chen Fei's speed suppression.
Xiao Hongchen completely disregarded the consumption of his Soul Power, his entire body like a hedgehog, with countless cannons constantly releasing firepower, leaving Ling Luochеn, Huo Yuhao and the others overwhelmed.
The only hope lies with Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong have not yet used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and Ma Xiaotao has even gained a slight advantage in her battle against Ma Rulong.
Everyone present seemed to approve of the Sun Moon Team's tactic, except for Xuan Zi, who looked puzzled.
"Something's not right. This battle isn't going well. It's completely unlike the Sun Moon Team's style. Normally, the Sun Moon Team could easily suppress the enemy with their ranged attacks. Why did they bring in two melee Soul Engineer? This is completely different from our previous predictions. I feel like something's wrong."
"And although their plan succeeded, this situation is exactly what we wanted. The Sun Moon Team can't possibly be unaware of the Shrek Team's weaknesses."
Seeing the tense situation, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong exchanged a glance, forcefully dodging Xiao Hongchen's fire, and quickly moved together. Their two figures merged rapidly, and a huge golden vertical eye appeared in the sky. A beam of light in blue, purple, and gold shot out instantly, its target being Xu Zhengyang and Meng Hongchen.
The others seemed to sense it as well. Dai Yueheng immediately activated his Fourth Soul Ring, and instantly emitted countless golden orbs of light, each resembling a fist, centered on his body. All the orbs enveloped Xu Zhengyang and the other three.
At that very moment, Ma Xiaotao, who was still locked in fierce combat with Ma Rulong, had her Sixth Soul Ring light up. Her Fire Phoenix Martial Soul instantly formed countless meteors, covering a wide area, and rushed straight towards Ma Rulong, Xu Zhengyang, and the others. This was Ma Xiaotao's Sixth Soul Skill: Phoenix Meteor Shower.
The fact that these four people used their Soul Skill simultaneously, without any time difference between them, surprised everyone with their extremely tacit cooperation.
Moreover, they all share the same goal: to deal with Xu Zhengyang and his group of four. If their Soul Skill can be successfully coordinated, Xu Zhengyang and his group will surely be defeated.
What they didn't know was that Xu Zhengyang had been waiting for this moment, waiting for them to go all out and attack when they couldn't defend against it.
Ma Rulong's Soul Power flickered, and instantly a golden bead appeared. This bead spun rapidly and had a full 108 horizontal surfaces, which was the Absolute Defense that Princess Jiujiu had used.
With Ma Rulong's control over the Soul Tool, his use of Absolute Defense was much faster than Princess Jiujiu's. The golden bead shimmered with brilliant light and spun rapidly, directly enveloping Ma Xiaotao in the sky. Even if Ma Xiaotao used her Sixth Soul Skill, she could not break through the Absolute Defense of this Level 7 Soul Tool.
Similarly, Mi Jia, who had always focused on the entire battlefield, collapsed directly between Huo Yuhao and Xu Zhengyang. A golden shield instantly appeared on his body, which was the Soul Tool Invincible Shield. Moreover, Mi Jia actually released three Invincible Shield at the same time, and his entire body was enveloped by Invincible Shield with a range of nearly five meters.
Mi Jia's Martial Soul is the Silver Moon Wolf, which grants him incredible speed. He also keeps a close eye on Huo Yuhao and the others, ready to take action at any moment.
Everyone was stunned. They never expected that someone could release three Invincible Shield at the same time. Moreover, these Invincible Shield were somewhat different from those used by Princess Jiujiu. They seemed to have a larger range and a longer duration.
Xu Zhengyang had been waiting for this one-second opportunity. His Third Soul Ring flashed, and the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear not only increased its attack power by 200%, but was also covered in a dark blue flame. In that instant, Xu Zhengyang's entire body disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already behind Dai Yueheng, and his spear was thrust straight at Dai Yueheng's lower back.
This is Xu Zhengyang's Third Soul Skill: Nether Tiger Space-Rending Spear. When using this Soul Skill, not only is its power greatly increased, but it can also tear through space, and its effect even surpasses Teleportation.
Meng Hongchen also suddenly erupted at this moment, his First Soul Ring and Fourth Soul Ring flashing simultaneously. The toxicity of the Vermilion Golden Ice Toad increased dramatically in an instant, especially its transformation from ordinary toxicity to a cold poison that alternates between ice and fire. Even the faint poisonous mist that had filled the arena suddenly became denser.
These are Meng Hongchen's First Soul Skill, Ice Toad Poison, and Fourth Soul Skill, Ice Feedback. The First Soul Skill greatly enhances the toxicity, while the Fourth Soul Skill, based on fire, activates the Ice Toad Poison, transforming it into pure energy to feed back to himself, thus maximizing his attack attributes.
Meng Hongchen himself, wielding a long sword, thrust it straight at Dai Yueheng's shoulder from the front, rather than aiming for his head.
