The four Spirit Rhinoceros Shield Soul Master in the front row of the Qianling Academy were also struggling to hold on. Even though they used other Soul Skill to strengthen the shield wall's defense, the effect was minimal.
Moreover, they felt that this purple flame seemed to be able to ignore their defenses, and the pain in their arms was becoming more and more obvious.
This is precisely the real damage caused by the combined effects of the World-Ending Dragon Breath. Even if Xu Tianyi does nothing now, the four of them won't be able to hold out for long.
However, during the team battle, Xu Tianyi clearly didn't intend to waste any time.
The Second Soul Ring lit up, Dragon Radiance Rend was activated. Five purple-gold claw marks appeared on the shield wall, which then exploded with tearing power, and the shield wall finally could not hold on any longer.
"Bang!"
The shield wall exploded, and the four Spirit Rhinoceros Shield Soul Master were scattered by the force.
This coincided perfectly with the time when Xu Wei used the Thunderstorm Ring. In an instant, the seven students from the Qianling Academy were scattered by the two forces and unable to combine their strength.
Behind Xu Tianyi, the small orange-red sun above Kong Ling's head burst forth with dazzling light, instantly enveloping the seven students from the Qianling Academy in a prison composed of flames and pillars of light.
The audience gasped in surprise; even those who didn't intend to cheer for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy were astonished.
They couldn't understand Gu Yuena's previous actions, but they could understand Kong Ling's crowd control skills at this moment.
Controlling seven people in an instant—the power of this Soul Skill truly shocked everyone.
The four Spirit Rhinoceros Shield Soul Master were all defensive-type, and they were currently struggling to withstand the scorching heat emanating from the Blazing Sun Cage.
Fei Yuyan is a fire-attribute Soul Master, and her First Soul Skill, Ring of Lie Yan, has fire resistance, so she can naturally withstand it.
An Lengye was covered in frost, clearly indicating that the Blazing Sun Cage could not harm him.
The students from the Qianling Academy were naturally unwilling to be controlled and launched attacks, trying to break free of the Blazing Sun Cage.
However, once Kong Ling, who has already reached the fourth ring, uses the Blazing Sun Cage, it will not be easy for Soul Master of the same level to break through it.
Only Shen Ce, at the Soul King level, was able to break free from the Blazing Sun Cage by unleashing his Fourth Soul Skill, the Thousand Strike Spear's sharp energy.
But before he could rescue his teammates, a dark figure rushed in front of him.
Xu Tianyi unleashed his First Soul Skill, Dragon Brilliant Flash. He was already prepared, and his punch slammed into Shen Ce's chest, the power of Destruction spreading across his right fist.
Shen Ce snorted coldly and swept his Thousand Strike Spear forward. A Soul Ancestor couldn't stop him.
But just as he was about to make his move, a thunderous sound came from behind him, and a deadly danger made his hair stand on end.
He quickly turned around, holding the Thousand Strike Spear horizontally in front of him, which just blocked Xu Wei Wei's Soul-Guiding Dagger that was aimed at his neck.
But he had no time to dodge Xu Tianyi's attack.
It can be said that his decision to act without observing the surrounding situation immediately after escaping the Blazing Sun Prison Cage already sealed his fate.
At the crucial moment, the referee intervened, blocking Xu Tianyi's attack and shouting, " Shen Ce, eliminated!"
The six people still trapped in the Blazing Sun Cage were all somewhat dazed. They never expected that their strongest captain would be eliminated by a Soul Ancestor and Soul Elder.
But what truly eliminated Shen Ce was the opponent's perfect teamwork.
Especially since Shui Ling had been secretly making moves, Shen Ce clearly didn't notice the abnormal loss of his Soul Power during the battle.
Xu Wei glanced at the six people in the Blazing Sun Cage and laughed, "Still fighting?"
The six remained silent. Their captain had already been eliminated; even if they persisted, they wouldn't stand a chance.
But they still didn't want it to end like this; they wanted to hold on as long as there was even a sliver of hope.
At this moment, Shen Ce, who had been eliminated, spoke up, "We concede!"
"Team leader!"
An Lengye cried out, her eyes filled with resentment; she still had her Soul Bone Skill unused.
Shen Ce shook his head. "There's no need to continue."
He understood that even though they were both Soul Ancestor, their strengths were on completely different levels, and there was no point in continuing.
" Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy wins!"
Following the referee's announcement, the victors, including Kong Xuan, filed off the stage.
This time, there were no boos from the audience.
Because in the eyes of these viewers, even if they are hostile forces, the strength they have demonstrated today is genuine and enough to earn their respect.
Xuan Zi's gaze followed closely to the reserve members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy who walked down from the arena, especially Gu Yuena and Kong Ling.
His fingers unconsciously caressed the rough surface of the wine gourd, and complex emotions surged deep within his earthy yellow pupils.
"A thirteen-year-old Soul Ancestor... Elemental Stripping... Crowd control..."
These words kept echoing in his mind.
As a senior member of the Shrek Academy, he had seen countless geniuses, but the talent and strength displayed by these children made his chest feel tight and his heart ache!
Xuan Zi suddenly tilted his head back and gulped down a large mouthful of wine, completely unaware that the wine was dripping down his beard.
" Wang Yan," his voice hoarse like sandpaper, "What do you think... what if we snatched these Little Monster and brought them to Shrek?"
"Not good!"
Wang Yan thought to himself, he didn't think Xuan Zi was joking. Since he was able to ask the question, he was probably already thinking about how to act.
Wang Yan's mind raced, and after organizing his thoughts, he quickly said, " Xuan Zi, these reserve members are the future of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, and also the future of the Sun Moon Empire. If you were to intervene, it might trigger a major war!"
Xuan Zi glanced at Wang Yan: "Do you think I'm stupid? Of course I wouldn't blatantly snatch someone away."
Wang Yan was somewhat confused, unsure what "scheme" Xuan Zi had come up with this time.
Xuan Zi then chuckled and said, " Mu En has decided to hold a student exchange with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy after the competition. We can certainly suggest that these young geniuses be part of the exchange."
"When they arrive at Shrek, we'll have plenty of ways to keep them here."
Xuan Zi looked very confident, clearly having great faith in the academy's "brainwashing techniques."
Hearing that Xuan Zi wasn't going to take direct action, Wang Yan felt somewhat relieved.
However, this was the first time he had heard of this exchange activity.
He asked, "The exchange with Sun Moon? The deans all agreed?"
Xuan Zi took a sip of wine and said, "Who dares to object to something Mu En has decided?"
After speaking, his gaze swept over the rest area of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, where the students, who had just returned, were excitedly sharing their joy of victory.
This time, however, his gaze fell on Ren Jun.
He had to admit that Ren Jun's students were indeed excellent, even exceeding his expectations.
But he felt far less angry than he had imagined, because he realized that these students were ultimately shaped by Shrek's teaching methods.
The strongest is still Shrek!
Sensing the gaze of others, Ren Jun turned his head and saw Xuan Zi.
This was a respected senior academy professor whom he later came to loathe.
He saw no remorse in Xuan Zi's expression, only an arrogant condescension and an air of complete control.
This morning, Ren Jun learned from Wang Yan that Xuan Zi might make a move against him after the competition.
Wang Yan finally couldn't resist telling Ren Jun the news.
Ren Jun guessed that at this moment, Xuan Zi was probably already thinking about what to do with him after he was caught!
