"What?!"
Tang Xiaolei's pupils contracted slightly, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Compared to before, the shock he felt at Kong Xuan the fifth arrow was undoubtedly much greater!
Kong Xuan moved his left hand, which was holding the arrow, away from his face, and his gaze returned to Tang Xiaolei's figure opposite him.
His left hand surged with Soul Power, and then he clenched it tightly. The arrow formed from his Soul Power shattered instantly, turning into specks of Soul Power dust.
The entire Star Luo Plaza fell into a brief silence because of this scene.
Immediately afterwards...
"Whoa!!!"
The audience erupted in a deafening roar, like boiling water exploding.
At this moment, they no longer cared that Kong Xuan was a member of the Sun Moon Empire. The visual impact of his performance in this battle was too strong, causing their emotions to boil and they had to vent them.
"Crushed the opponent's Fifth Soul Skill with his bare hands?! What kind of monster is this?!"
"This is too strong! It feels like Kong Xuan is on a completely different level from his opponent."
"Is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy going to win the championship this time?"
Various voices could be heard from the audience, most of them naturally expressing shock.
Meanwhile, in the rest area of the participating academies, the teachers and students were even more shocked, and their assessment of Kong Xuan's strength was raised even higher.
Xuan Zi even stood up from his seat, unable to remain calm any longer as he looked at Kong Xuan's expression.
In his judgment, to catch Tang Xiaolei's fifth arrow with one's bare hands would require at least a top-tier Soul Emperor, and even then, only a Beast Soul Master capable of enhancing their physical strength.
Seeing Kong Xuan's nonchalant attitude, Xuan Zi was also a little confused. He was clearly a weapon Soul Master.
Could it be Twin Martial Souls?
Once the idea popped into Xuan Zi's mind, he could no longer suppress it.
His desire for Kong Xuan has reached its peak once again.
The Battle Armor on Kong Xuan's hands played a significant role in enabling him to catch that arrow with his bare hands.
Seeing Tang Xiaolei's expression of utter disbelief, Kong Xuan shouted, "You've lost all your Soul Ring, do you still want to fight?"
Tang Xiaolei's face was pale, her fists clenched, and her lips pursed.
He raised his head and looked at Kong Xuan, as if he wanted to etch his image deep into his heart, to remember this moment forever.
Then, with a weak sigh, he said, "I give up!"
Back with his teammates, Tang Xiaolei, his voice choked with sobs, and said, "I lost!"
Captain Ye Wuqing patted him on the shoulder in a gesture of comfort.
No one else said anything. Kong Xuan's strength was beyond their imagination, and Tang Xiaolei had indeed done her best.
"Captain, I'll go for the next game!"
Yu Mengdi's gaze was firm. As the second strongest member of the team, she felt it was her turn to step up.
Another team member Shangguan Can, chimed in, "The captain sent me. I'm Spiritual System Soul Master; perhaps I can inflict some damage on him. Even if we lose, it would be good if I could force him to reveal some of his Soul Skill!"
In fact, Shangguan Can never intended to win when he decided to play.
After all, Kong Xuan's strength had already been demonstrated in the battle just now.
After a moment of contemplation, Captain Ye Wuqing finally made his decision. " Shangguan Can, you go!"
The one-on-one individual mode has no break time in between.
So soon, Kong Xuan faced his second opponent.
As the match began, after Shangguan Can was possessed by his Martial Soul Possession, a layer of light blue mist suddenly emanated from his body.
A simple, ancient bell appeared on his right hand; this was his Martial Soul, the Soul Capturing Bell.
Putting everything else aside, based on that name alone, Shrek Academy had every reason to claim he was Evil Soul Master and kill him.
He should be grateful that he is now considered a member of a "reputable and upright" family; otherwise, he would be someone everyone hates and beats.
Facing Kong Xuan, Shangguan Can knew he had to go all out from the start, otherwise a single counterattack from the opponent could eliminate him.
Therefore, Shangguan Can's four Soul Ring lit up one after another, and he unleashed four Soul Skill— Soul Oscillation, Soul Death, Soul Thorn, and Mental Control— on Kong Xuan in succession.
Even if they can't defeat their opponent, just inflicting some damage on Kong Xuan would be a help to their teammates who will go on the field next.
As a rare Spiritual System Soul Master, Shangguan Can was quite confident in his mental attacks.
Even if the Soul King were to follow up with this combo, he would definitely not be in a good position.
However, he did not see any pain on Kong Xuan's face, as if his Soul Skill had no effect on Kong Xuan at all.
At this moment, he understood the "pain" that Tang Xiaolei had just experienced.
Kong Xuan did indeed withstand four of Shangguan Can's Soul Skill head-on, but in the face of his Spirit Abyss Realm Divine Power, these mental attacks were like tickling him; how could they possibly cause him any harm?
Shangguan Can's Fourth Soul Skill, Mental Control, is not an ordinary mental attack, but rather a way to control the opponent's body by manipulating their mind.
This is actually somewhat similar to Shui Ling 'Puppeteering Spirit Thread Second Soul Skill String Puppet, although the methods are different, the ultimate goal is the same.
Faced with Shangguan Can's Divine Power invading his Sea of Consciousness, Kong Xuan merely frowned slightly, a Golden Eyes, before letting out a soft hum.
Thump!
Like an ancient bell striking a majestic mountain, the ripples of spiritual energy that swept in dissipated the moment they touched Kong Xuan 'Sea of Consciousness!
The expectation and hope on Shangguan Can's face suddenly froze, and the next second...
"Puff!"
His right hand, which was shaking the Soul Capturing Bell, suddenly stopped, and blood gushed from all seven orifices at the same time!
He fell straight backward like a puppet whose bones had been removed, his head slamming heavily against the metal floor of the arena with a dull thud.
Above the ring, the referee's raised hand froze in mid-air; everything had happened so fast that he didn't even have time to react.
Moreover, even as a Soul Saint referee, he still hadn't figured out what had just happened.
"Next!"
Kong Xuan spoke calmly, as if defeating Shangguan Can was no difficult task, not even a matter of "a slightly dirty hem of clothing".
Students from the Zhengtian Academy quickly went up on stage and carried Shangguan Can off.
After a quick check, they found he was still breathing, which was a relief; at least he was still alive.
However, at this moment, the students of the Zhengtian Academy all glared angrily at Kong Xuan, looking like mortal enemies.
Clearly, seeing Shangguan Can's miserable state, they felt that Kong Xuan had gone too far.
But in reality, Kong Xuan had already held back his strength, and Shangguan Can only looked frightening; his injuries were not actually that serious.
If Kong Xuan were to go all out, Shangguan Can, who would suffer Shangguan Can, would be crippled even if he didn't die.
In the preparation area of Zheng Tian Academy, Angel Soul King Yu Mengdi spoke again, "Captain, let me go."
She had no chance of winning against Kong Xuan, but sending the Soul Ancestor into battle would obviously be pointless.
Ye Wuqing first shook his head, glanced at Kong Xuan who stood calmly on the stage, and said solemnly, "Next match, I'll go!"
Seeing that Yu Mengdi was about to say something, Ye Wuqing interrupted her directly, "Listen to me!"
" Kong Xuan is too strong. He defeated Tang Xiaolei and Shangguan Can without being forced to use a single Soul Skill."
"If I lose later, we'll concede this round."
