" Soul Bone Skill! Despicable!"
Seeing Yu Xinming's miserable state, Chen Yuan, who was usually on good Chen Yuan with him, shouted angrily and stared furiously at Zijing on the battle platform.
He could tell that the Thorn Burst Shot was definitely a Soul Bone Soul Skill, not Soul Ring Soul Skill or Self-Created Soul Skill.
Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan's angry rebuke did not achieve the desired effect. Instead, it drew boos from the surrounding stands, and disdainful glances were cast down upon him.
Realizing what he had said, Chen Yuan's face flushed red, clearly indicating that he had misspoke.
"Pshaw! He refined four high-quality Soul Bone that were over 50,000 years old and I didn't say anything, but you call me despicable for only refining one 900-year-old Soul Bone."
If what I did is despicable, then what are you?
Zijing scoffed disdainfully, "If I'm not mistaken, at least five of you have refined Soul Bone that have been around for 100,000 years. How do you explain that?"
Upon hearing Zijing's words, Tang San and the others' expressions changed drastically.
" Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!?"
Exclamations of surprise rang out from the stands; everyone was stunned by Zijing's words.
Although they guessed that the Shrek Team had refined a large number of high-quality Soul Bone, they did not consider the possibility of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
After all, a 100,000-year-old Soul Bone is a legendary existence. Even if Soul Bone can be passed down indefinitely, there are still very few 100,000-year-old Soul Bone in the entire Soul Master World over the years.
Unexpectedly, the Shrek Team already possessed and refined Soul Bone of the 100,000-year level.
It's worth noting that the prize for the champion of this Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament was only seven Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
What exactly is Shrek Academy trying to do?
Do they really intend to completely destroy the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament, a grand event that has been passed down for thousands of years?
" Nana it, I'm ashamed to associate with such scum of the academic world!"
Immediately, a hot-tempered man stood up and decisively left the competition venue, followed by several other college teams who also chose to leave.
What they wanted was a pure academic competition, but you came here to cheat, and in such a despicable way.
What's the point of a battle where you're cheating?
It's like a group of passionate young people playing e-sports. They're doing great, but suddenly someone tells them that the competition is rigged and the champion has already been decided. They're just a bunch of dispensable supporting characters.
This is so frustrating!
These people were already showing restraint by not verbally abusing the organizers on the spot.
"It's over!"
Watching the academy teams leave again, Xue Ye felt a wave of dizziness, knowing that the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament was completely over.
If the previous events only had a negative impact on future competitions, then this current situation is a devastating blow, leaving no chance for redemption.
"You're lying. A hundred-year-old Soul Bone Skill could never have such power. Your Soul Bone Skill is definitely over a hundred thousand years old."
Tang San stepped forward and decisively rejected Zijing's statement. He needed to change the subject as soon as possible, otherwise it would be quite disadvantageous for their Shrek Team.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the audience's gaze instinctively turned to Zijing on the battle stage, their faces filled with doubt.
The previous Thorn Burst Shot was so powerful that even a Soul Douluo- level expert would be defeated if caught off guard.
This is definitely within the power range of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill; Soul Bone Skill less than 10,000 years old would never have this kind of power.
Legendary Soul Skill like Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone skills and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring skills are incredibly powerful, but unless they have fixed damage, they only amplify the attack based on the user's own strength.
In the end, Zijing is just a Soul King. Even with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone Skill, she can't possibly have the combat power to face Titled Douluo directly. At most, she can instantly kill an unprepared Soul Douluo.
Even if she unleashed a large amount of her sealed Soul Power, it was only enough for her to withstand the drain.
"If you're ignorant, don't come out and show off. Don't you Shrek even have that much Mingdu?"
With a hint of disdain on her face, Zijing sneered, "The potential of Soul Skill far exceeds your imagination. As long as you find the right method, you can increase their power many times over."
Forget it, it's a waste of breath to talk to you opportunistic scoundrels.
Hey fatso, if you've got the guts, come up here and play with me!
My sister is really looking forward to having you as the second person to experience this.
Zijing turned her icy gaze to Ma Hongjun, still remembering the humiliating words Ma Hongjun had said to her before.
Under Zijing's gaze, Ma Hongjun instinctively shrank back and hid behind Dai Mubai beside him.
What a joke! All his Spirit Ring Skill and the Soul Bone Skill he acquired later are offensive; he's a turret-type Battle Soul Master.
There's absolutely no way to defend against this Thorn Burst Shot; once it hits the field, you're guaranteed to be wiped out instantly.
Yu Xinming is still struggling miserably there; he doesn't want to end up like that.
" Xiao Wu, I'm begging you!"
With a gloomy face, Tang San whispered to Xiao Wu, selecting Xiao Wu as the second person to fight.
Xiao Wu possesses the Teleportation Soul Skill and the Invincible Golden Body defense, which is enough to restrain Zijing's methods. Moreover, he can take this opportunity to carefully observe Zijing's Thorn Burst Shot Soul Bone Skill.
"I'm sorry, on behalf of my fourth brother Ma Hongjun, I apologize for his previous words!"
As soon as Xiao Wu stepped onto the battle stage, she bowed sincerely to Zijing in apology, clearly also disapproving of Ma Hongjun's previous words.
Although it was just a tactical maneuver to deliberately provoke Zijing, it was still too much, especially towards a woman.
Moreover, she had been saved by Zijing and others, so she already owed them a huge favor.
"I don't accept your apology. I'll personally get my revenge on that fat bastard, and it'll be doubled."
Zijing directly rejected Xiao Wu's apology and even harbored strong hostility towards Xiao Wu, the kind of hostility between rivals in love.
She admitted that she liked Little Nine, but Little Nine was only interested in this woman. How could she possibly feel good about that?
This is a good opportunity to test what this woman is capable of that has made Little Nine so infatuated with her.
" Xiao Wu, Martial Soul: Soft Bone Rabbit, Level 60 Battle Soul King, please give me your guidance!"
Xiao Wu herself didn't have much hope of gaining Zijing's forgiveness. After being rejected by Zijing, she followed the rules of the academy world, revealed her basic information, and prepared to fight.
This is a sign of respect for the opponent, and also a display of good manners and etiquette.
Although she owed Zijing and the others a great favor, favors are favors, and battles are battles.
She has an absolute reason not to lose this match!
It wasn't just for her third brother, but also for herself!
So, I'm sorry!
After the referee waved his arm to announce the start of the battle, Xiao Wu immediately used her Teleportation Soul Skill to appear one meter behind Zijing. With a twist of her supple waist, she prepared to unleash a soft attack.
But Zijing is also a Soul King; how could she let her succeed so easily?
The dense thicket of thorns surged around her, forming not only a close-fitting armor of thorns around her, but also a cage that sealed Xiao Wu inside.
However, Zijing understood that this move posed little threat to Xiao Wu, since Teleportation was a very troublesome Soul Skill.
As expected, Xiao Wu immediately used her Teleportation Soul Skill to escape the thorn cage.
The two then traded blows, and when Zijing found an opportunity, she decisively unleashed her Soul Bone Skill Thorn Burst Shot again.
However, unlike the way he dealt with Yu Xinming, where he unleashed his full power in an instant, this time he continuously launched projectiles at Xiao Wu, covering the entire battle arena and launching indiscriminate attacks.
She knew that Xiao Wu possessed the Invincible Golden Body, a Soul Skill with Invincible defensive power, so she didn't expect to break through this defense with a move Thorn Burst Shot.
However, while this Invincible Golden Body boasts Invincible defensive power, it is short-lived, lasting only three seconds.
Once three seconds have passed, hehe...
When faced with their own long-prepared, all-encompassing barrage of spikes, even with Teleportation Soul Skill, they would find it difficult to dodge.
However, Xiao Wu's response was beyond Zijing's expectations. Her previously flickering golden defensive shield suddenly solidified and remained in place for another two seconds.
Although it only lasted for two seconds, it just barely avoided the final Thorn Burst Shot.
"You've managed to mitigate the energy buildup of your Spirit Ring Skill!"
Zijing was surprised, seeing through the true nature of Xiao Wu's tactic at a glance.
Most Soul Skill have a cooldown period for various reasons, and the more powerful the Soul Skill, the longer the cooldown period.
For example, in the original Fate/stay night story, Ning Rongrong and Oscar's resurrection skills required a month or even a year to cool down and recover.
Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body is Soul Skill with Invincible defensive power; even a former Peerless Douluo could not forcibly break through it.
This is quite astonishing, so the cooldown time is also quite long; originally, it could only be used once a day.
But who would have thought that Xiao Wu would find a way to overcome this flaw? Although it could only last for two seconds, not as long as the full version's three seconds, it was still quite amazing.
That's right, the cooldown time of such Soul Skill can indeed be reduced or even eliminated by finding ways to do so.
However, achieving this is extremely difficult; perhaps only one in ten million Soul Master could do it.
It's truly amazing that Xiao Wu was able to do that!
"Referee, I concede this match!"
Zijing glanced deeply at Xiao Wu, who was preparing to launch another attack, then put away the Thorn Jungle and stepped off the battle platform.
Her Soul Power was almost depleted, so there was no objection to continuing the fight.
Although dragging it out might deplete some of Xiao Wu's Soul Power, she's not part of the Shrek Team and doesn't have that kind of thick skin.
And there's no need to do that!
Most importantly, Xiao Wu hadn't used a single Soul Bone Skill before, which made her quite satisfied, and at the same time, she had no complaints about losing.
"Sister Jing Ni, it's all up to you now!"
Leaping back to her own stand, Zijing Jing Ni to Jingni beside Jing Ling.
They had previously discussed strategies for dealing with the enemy and each identified a counter to them, and Jing Ni was able to counter Xiao Wu to a certain extent.
At least Xiao Wu's Spirit Ring Skill are ineffective against Jing Ni; as for her unused Soul Bone Skill, it depends on the situation.
However, Jing Ni's newly acquired fourth Soul Skill is perfectly suited to her Jing Ni Sword Technique, giving her an Bubai advantage against Power Attack System Soul Master Innate Xiao Wu.
" Xiao San, did you see clearly?"
Upon seeing Tang San return, Yu Xiaogang immediately went up to him and inquired about his whereabouts.
Zijing's previous Thorn Burst Shot had indeed shocked him, breaking the conventions of the Soul Master World.
As a pure theoretical researcher, he was naturally very interested in this unconventional new knowledge.
Not to mention, this is also related to winning the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament.
Given the formidable strength displayed by the Plant Academy, there's a high probability they'll encounter them in the finals. If they can figure out Zijing's killer move in advance, they can prepare accordingly.
Tang San's expression was unusually solemn, even downright gloomy.
