The blue Thunder Dragon Head released by Bei Bei instantly lunged at Zhao Shuting.
Many Soul Cannon still struck the Thunder Dragon Head, and amidst the violent roar, a burst of blazing red light suddenly lit up in mid-air.
The powerful shockwave distorted the air over a large area of the arena.
Although the Thunder Dragon Head dimmed slightly, it still successfully bit into the Soul Tool Turret that Zhao Shuting had transformed into.
"Third Soul Skill, Thunderous Fury!"
The powerful lightning made Zhao Shuting's scalp tingle, and inside the Soul Tool Turret, his hair was already standing on end.
Despite the excruciating pain, he raised his hand and patted his chest. Instantly, a golden light shield rose from his body, enveloping him completely.
As the Soul-Guiding Heart-Protecting Mirror took effect, it instantly alleviated the numbness and pain caused by the lightning.
However, Zhao Shuting still exhaled a wisp of smoke, clearly indicating that he had been severely shocked by the electric shock.
The Soul Tool Turret he had formed had a large hole bitten through it by the Thunder Dragon Head. Just as Zhao Shuting breathed a sigh of relief, an arm reached in through the gap.
The blue arm suddenly emitted electricity again.
"Burst!"
The massive Soul Tool Turret disintegrated instantly, and Zhao Shuting was also propelled far away by the powerful aftershocks of the explosion.
Boom!
A deep crater was smashed into the sturdy competition platform, and the floor cracked open. Zhao Shuting lay in the crater.
The protective shield around his body began to fade little by little, and eventually even the Soul Guiding Heart Mirror cracked.
Zhao Shuting was panting heavily; nearly 70% of his Soul Power had been depleted.
With his Soul Power rapidly declining, Zhao Shuting had lost all confidence in the competition. As he watched Bei Bei rapidly swooping down towards him, his flying soul-guided wings unfurled as if God of Light had descended.
In the blink of an eye, Bei Bei appeared in front of him, its dragon claw crackling with pale blue electricity, approaching him step by step.
Zhao Shuting knew he had lost.
Bei Bei's Thunder Dragon Claw pointed at the top of his head, and Zhao Shuting smiled wryly with a helpless expression:
"Okay, you win."
"I didn't expect Shrek to have such an advanced Flying Soul Tool."
Bei Bei chuckled and snorted, "You still think it's like before?"
As the match ended, the Soul Tool Shield outside the arena naturally receded and disappeared.
The second match was coming up quickly. Although Hao Tingkun of the Sun Moon Team was Six-Ring Soul Emperor of the same level as Bei Bei, he was also a level six melee-type Soul Engineer and was more skilled in close combat.
The metal hammer in his hand had already smashed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and accompanied by a piercing clang.
As the referee suddenly waved his hand, Bei Bei moved. He released his First Soul Ring, the Thunder Dragon Claw, crackling with massive arcs of electricity, and sprang up like an arrow.
It rushed straight towards Hao Tingkun, and as it charged forward, a bright light suddenly shone behind it.
Propelled by the blinding white light, it crashed violently into Hao Tingkun.
Hao Tingkun was not to be outdone; he also had a level-six propulsion Soul Tool on his back, but it was clear that his propulsion Soul Tool was not as fast as Bei Bei's.
After all, this was an improved version developed by the research institute; in just half a second, they collided on the competition platform, which was hundreds of meters apart.
Bei Bei brandished its sharp claws, while Hao Tingkun swung his iron hammer fiercely, veins bulging beneath his muscular frame.
He mustered all his strength and slammed the massive level-six soul-guided iron hammer down.
"Thump--!!!"
The two were thrown back by the violent impact. Bei Bei's right hand was slightly injured, and faint traces of blood could be seen flowing down.
Hao Tingkun fared no better; the hammer in his hand was nearly knocked away, and several cuts appeared on his hand, bleeding profusely.
So much so that his hand, still gripping the hammer, was trembling uncontrollably—it was electrified!
"His domineering aura is undeniable! He's indeed very strong."
Hao Tingkun once again swung his giant hammer and charged forward, his purple Soul Ring beginning to pulsate.
Several afterimages suddenly appeared in the air, and the speed at which he swung his giant hammer gradually increased. Finally, five or six giant iron hammers appeared together and smashed towards Bei Bei.
Moreover, it seemed to have a location tracking effect, allowing Bei Bei to accurately pinpoint his location despite her constant dodging.
"Let's see where you run this time! Take this!"
"Take this! Gravity Negative Pressure!"
Bei Bei suddenly felt the air around him freeze, and his body became heavy as he was instantly surrounded by a protective shield.
Five or six iron hammers slammed into the Soul Tool Shield, making a loud noise, and at the same time, Bei Bei was thrown to the ground like a cannonball.
However, Bei Bei's body was not injured in any way.
After all, this was Level 7 Soul Tool specially prepared for him by the academy. As long as he had the Milk Bottle to provide Soul Power, he could use it even if he wasn't Soul Engineer.
To be honest, Hao Tingkun was a little envious. When did Shrek become so rich? These high-level Soul Tool were as plentiful as cabbages being sold off cheaply. Hao Tingkun's worldview seemed to have been completely reorganized.
How can we fight like this?
Shrek Academy's combat capabilities were already ridiculously strong, and now they're even using high-level Soul Tool in battle.
Isn't this like adding wings to a tiger?
"I concede!" After all, this was Hao Tingkun's strongest move, and even with his ultimate attack, it didn't even scratch Bei Bei's head.
Is it even necessary to continue fighting?
This defense is simply unbeatable!
In the next match, Xiao Hongchen took the stage. This time, after a battle lasting more than ten minutes, Bei Bei was ultimately defeated by him, unfortunately failing to achieve a three-game winning streak.
However, Cao Yu redeemed himself in the following match.
Even when Xiao Hongchen transforms into his strongest form, becoming a giant Three-Legged Golden Toad, he has hundreds of cannons on his back.
But ultimately, it couldn't last more than three minutes against Cao Yu.
After all, Xiao Hongchen's cultivation level was only above level 65, and his Soul Engineer level was not as high as Cao Yu's, so it was a complete crushing defeat in every aspect.
"Very good! Our Sun Moon Team is forfeiting the individual elimination rounds and will go straight to the team competition next!" Looking at Cao Yu in front of him, Xiao Hongchen was clearly displeased.
But what can you do when you've already lost?
In order to conserve his strength, Xiao Hongchen didn't want to make any futile efforts. After all, he was already the strongest member of the Sun Moon Team, so the remaining members couldn't possibly defeat Cao Yu.
So it might be better to go straight into the team competition; there might still be a chance to fight for it.
The audience was on tenterhooks as the team battle was about to begin. They all hoped that the Sun Moon Team would win, since most of the audience members were citizens of the Sun Moon Empire.
However, it's clear that Shrek Academy has a significant advantage, and there's a high probability that the Sun Moon Team will only be able to advance to the quarterfinals.
The playing field was quickly leveled, and the referee waved his hands and shouted:
"Both teams enter the field."
