Xiao Yuheng stared dumbfounded at Shi Xing opposite him. He couldn't understand why his teammate would attack him.
This isn't a life-or-death battle anymore, so what's the point of defecting to the enemy in this situation?
Meeting Xiao Yuheng's incredulous gaze, Shi Xing, looking aggrieved, cried out, "It wasn't me!"
"I don't know what happened either?"
"My body is out of control!"
Shi Xing tone was tinged with fear; the complete loss of control over his actions sent shivers down his spine.
Before Xiao Yuheng could say anything, Shi Xing made another move.
He left his spot and ran towards the two men fighting not far away.
As he ran, several Soul Tool appeared on his shoulders and in his hands, as if he was about to make a move.
However, seeing Xiao Yuheng being eliminated just now, and hearing him still shouting, "I can't control myself!"
Everyone knows that Shi Xing's next target is definitely not Xu Tianyi, whom he is currently fighting, but his former teammate Xiao Ping!
"What's going on?!"
Xiao Hongchen, standing in the stands, looked on in shock and confusion. He glanced at Kong Xuan beside him, knowing that Kong Xuan must know the reason.
Kong Xuan smiled faintly and said, "If you observe carefully, you should be able to guess."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen turned his gaze back to the Soul Fighting Arena below, looking at everyone before finally fixing his eyes on Shui Ling, whose eyes were slightly closed.
As Control System Soul Master, Shui Ling's First Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring were both lit up, but it was impossible to tell what Soul Skill she was using.
"Is it Shui Ling?!"
"That's right!" Kong Xuan nodded. "You underestimate my classmates. They are far more outstanding and capable than you imagine."
Shui Ling's First Soul Skill is called Silk Entwines and Clings to Bone, which can absorb the opponent's Soul Power through the Puppeteering Spirit Thread her Martial Soul.
Her Second Soul Skill String Puppet. The Puppeteering Spirit Thread can seep into the enemy's body, and when the opponent's Soul Power is less than 50% of hers, she can control the opponent's body like a puppet.
Shi Xing's use of the Level 4 High Explosive Bomb consumed a large amount of Soul Power, and in addition, Shui Ling activated her First Soul Skill at the Douluo I to slowly absorb the opponent's Soul Power.
With this ebb and flow, the conditions for activating the Second Soul Skill were quickly met.
Therefore, it was under Shui Ling's control that Shi Xing launched the attack on Xiao Yuheng.
Caught off guard by his teammate's sudden attack, Xiao Yuheng was eliminated immediately.
At this moment, the situation in this Soul Fighting is completely clear.
Of the five Soul Engineer in the reserve team, three have already been eliminated, and of the remaining two, Shi Xing has "betrayed and defected to the enemy."
Now only Xiao Ping remains, and he faces a situation of one against five, no... one against six.
Even with the advantage in Soul Power, victory is simply impossible.
Xiao Ping, who was locked in combat with Xu Tianyi, suddenly stopped. He couldn't understand why the situation had suddenly changed like this.
The Turret Tactics of his two teammates were completely ineffective. Xu Tianyi, a three-ring Soul Master, was so strong that he questioned his own existence and was unable to defeat him for a time.
His teammates' Shi Xing betrayal left him completely bewildered. Now, seeing the six-barreled small Soul Cannon appearing under his ribs, it was clear they were about to attack him.
Xiao Ping gritted his teeth and looked up at Ma Sheng, Xiao Hongchen, and the others in the spectator area.
After withdrawing his gaze, he stored the soul-guided double-headed spear in his hand into his Space Soul Tool.
"I... admit defeat!"
When he uttered those three words, Xiao Ping closed his eyes, his face full of resentment, yet also helplessness.
Ren Jun, acting as the referee in mid-air, announced loudly, "The competition is over! The Soul Master Class has won!"
The members of the Soul Master class in the Soul Fighting Arena erupted in cheers. They had done it, and done it very well.
They won this battle of Soul Fighting without eliminating a single person.
To be honest, Ren Jun hadn't expected them to achieve such results.
Even though he was usually serious and rarely smiled, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up at this moment.
However, when he landed in the spectator area and appeared next to Ma Sheng, he still managed to suppress his laughter.
After all, Ma Sheng is the dean of the Soul Tool Department, so it's best not to appear too arrogant in front of him.
Meeting Ma Sheng's somber expression, Ren Jun asked, " Elder Ma, what do you say?"
As previously agreed, the winning team will qualify for the reserve team.
Ma Sheng never expected that the Soul Tool Department's reserve team would lose.
His thick eyebrows almost knitted together. After thinking for a moment, he said, "A single competition doesn't prove anything."
Ren Jun narrowed his eyes, showing no intention of backing down, and said, " Elder Ma, that's not what you said before."
Ren Jun respects the other party's strength, but he will not be afraid to fight for what they deserve.
Ma Sheng sighed and said earnestly, " Teacher Ren, the members of the reserve team are crucial to the selection of participants for the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament. We must be careful."
"The five students in the Soul Master class performed very well this time, but whether they can all become members of the reserve team is something I think we need to discuss."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Hongchen and Jing Hongchen not far away. "Moreover, the Dean's grandson and granddaughter are also in the reserve team. They are already at the Soul King level. Are we going to abandon them too?"
Ma Sheng's words were simply meant to make Ren Jun consider the so-called "big picture," which is also the most effective excuse to bully honest people.
But Ren Jun was not someone everyone could handle, and his tone immediately rose several decibels.
" Elder Ma, this matter was also approved by Dean Hongchen."
"Besides, he's just a member of the reserve team. He's only going to participate this time to watch the excitement and broaden his horizons."
"As for the next competition, who to send out then will need to be discussed again."
Ren Jun's words were reasonable and well-founded, and Ma Sheng opened his mouth, but found it difficult to refute them.
At this moment, Xiao Hongchen walked over, his usual confident smile gone, and said in a deep voice, "Let's have another match, seven against seven. If we lose, we're willing to give up our reserve team status."
As the captain of the reserve team, Xiao Hongchen had no choice but to step forward at this moment.
Although he was very wary of Kong Xuan's strength and considered himself no match for him.
But given the current situation, he must fight for a chance for his teammates.
However, Kong Xuan wouldn't give him that chance, saying directly, "I don't think we need another match. Dean Hongchen isn't one to go back on his word."
As he spoke, he looked at Ma Sheng and said to the Titled Douluo with neither arrogance nor servility, "As for Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, whom Elder Ma mentioned, their strength is more than enough to make them regular team members. At worst, they can compete with the regular team members like we do, and whoever wins can stay and won't have to take up a spot in the reserve team."
What does Elder Ma think?
Kong Xuan stared directly at Ma Sheng, noticing the slight twitching of his facial muscles and even a flash of anger in his eyes.
But he showed no fear whatsoever, seemingly waiting for Ma Sheng to give him an answer!
