On the Soul Fighting Arena, Kong Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and composed.
However, his calmness was like the heaviest mountain, pressing down on the Inner Court disciples into a deathly silence.
Two consecutive wins!
And the victory was so decisive and swift, so mind-blowing!
Soul Emperor Qiu Xu was completely overwhelmed by basic spear techniques, and Soul Saint Wu Ming was defeated by a single claw after activating his Martial Soul Avatar!
This is no longer a simple matter of victory or defeat, but a near-total chasm of strength!
The remaining Soul Saint- level Inner Court disciples exchanged glances, each seeing deep apprehension and a barely perceptible hint of retreat in the other's eyes.
They knew their strength was roughly equal to Wu Ming's, and given Wu Ming's utter defeat, the outcome would likely be no different if they were to take the field.
Two swift victories made these usually arrogant geniuses realize for the first time that they were "unbeatable".
For a time, no one dared to volunteer anymore.
The commotion in the audience gradually subsided, and tens of thousands of eyes focused on the Inner Court camp, awaiting their response.
This silence is more oppressive than any shout.
Dean Cai Mei'er took everything in. Her face was expressionless, but a complex emotion flickered deep in her eyes.
There was shock at the terrifying strength Kong Xuan had displayed, and disappointment at the current state of the Inner Court disciples, but more than anything, there was a solemn sense of having to make a decision.
She knew very well that while the Ultimate Ice's ability to suppress the Golden Crow True Fire attribute was a factor in Kong Xuan's easy defeat of Wu Ming, the fundamental reason was his terrifying combat power far exceeding that of Soul Emperor, his precise grasp of timing, and his endless stream of powerful abilities.
Ordinary Soul Saint, or even Soul Douluo, would likely pose little real threat to him without special methods.
Cai Mei'er made a judgment in her mind, and slowly shifted her gaze from the silent Soul Saint disciples, finally landing on the two slender figures sitting quietly a little behind her.
They are the only two Eight-Ring Soul Douluo among the Inner Court students present today— Han Ruoruo and Zhang Lexuan!
Shrek Academy's Inner Court geniuses are indeed somewhat overshadowed by women; there isn't a single male at the Soul Douluo level.
Cai Mei'er's gaze lingered on the two men for a moment. Their eyes were calm and firm as they nodded slightly to Cai Mei'er.
Without needing to say more, the two understood Cai Mei'er's meaning.
"I'll take the next round!"
Han Ruoruo stood up, her calm voice instantly drawing everyone's attention.
With a single step, Han Ruoruo appeared like a fairy descending to earth; as Soul Douluo, she was already able to fly through the air.
She landed gracefully on the Soul Fighting Arena, her voice following: " Inner Court, Han Ruoruo, Martial Soul Shaking Gold Rope, Level 82 Control System Soul Douluo, please enlighten me!"
His voice was gentle, yet carried a mountain-like calmness and confidence.
The entire venue erupted in cheers!
Han Ruoruo, the Eight-Ring Soul Douluo of the Inner Court, is finally about to make her move!
Everyone understood that when Han Ruoruo stepped forward, it meant that the Inner Court had already regarded Kong Xuan as an opponent that required top-tier combat power to deal with!
Kong Xuan looked at Han Ruoruo opposite him, and for the first time, a serious expression appeared on his usually calm face.
Han Ruoruo naturally knew that she was known as the top controller in the Inner Court.
Kong Xuan had no elemental advantage against the Shaking Gold Rope, and coupled with the opponent's powerful Soul Douluo- level Soul Power, Kong Xuan had to be careful even without using his Battle Armor.
The real battle is just beginning.
With a signal from referee Elder Song, the third match officially began!
To everyone's surprise, it was Kong Xuan who launched the first attack this time!
His figure suddenly became blurry, as if his feet had shrunk to an inch. Everyone only saw a blur before his eyes, and he had already rushed forward like Gui Mei. His figure flashed a few times, and in the blink of an eye, he had covered a distance of a hundred meters.
However, he did not continue to approach. Han Ruoruo, he suddenly stopped, his Atlas Spear already held horizontally in his hand.
The deep purple light of the First Soul Ring shone brightly once more!
First Soul Skill: Void Stab!
Buzz!
A barely perceptible ripple spread through the space.
Although the tip of the Atlas Spear was still in Kong Xuan's hand, a hundred meters away, all around Han Ruoruo, countless condensed spear tips, gleaming with a bright, cold light, suddenly emerged from the void like venomous snakes from their holes!
These spatial spears did not appear simultaneously, but rather rose and fell in waves, like a sudden storm, precisely and ruthlessly stabbing Han Ruoruo's throat, heart, back of the head, joints, and other vital points!
The attack trajectory is unpredictable and illogical, completely defying common sense, making it impossible to defend against!
This is precisely what makes Void Stab so terrifying—it ignores normal distances and performs spatial assassinations beyond visual range!
A gasp rippled through the stands. Everyone had witnessed the power of this move, which easily shattered the Golden Crow True Fire Ring. Now, seeing Kong Xuan use this move against Han Ruoruo right from the start, they couldn't help but feel a pang of worry for this Control System Soul Douluo.
However, Han Ruoruo, on the other side of the Soul Fighting Arena, showed no sign of panic on her intelligent face.
She didn't even move her feet, she just gently raised her slender hand.
A pale golden light, as if it possessed Life of its own, shot out out of thin air.
That was none other than a golden rope that appeared soft yet exuded an aura of resilience and immortality—her Martial Soul, the Shaking Gold Rope!
The moment the Shaking Gold Rope appeared, it seemed to possess its own sentience. Without much manipulation from Han Ruoruo, it spontaneously separated into several pale golden rope shadows!
These rope shadows danced like serpents, weaving a dense, pale golden net around her!
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
The crisp, rapid sounds of collisions, like raindrops pattering on banana leaves, rang out quickly!
The ropes fluttered and golden light flowed, and no matter how unpredictable Kong Xuan's Void Stab were or how tricky the angles were, not a single one could penetrate this seemingly soft but actually indestructible rope net!
All attacks were effortlessly neutralized by the nimble, Shaking Gold Rope.
Upon seeing this, Kong Xuan frowned slightly, slowly withdrew the Atlas Spear, and stopped the Void Stab attack.
He gazed at the figure a hundred meters away, as steady as Mount Tai, and for the first time, a solemn expression appeared on his face.
Kong Xuan thought to himself, "As expected, a Soul Douluo- level expert isn't so easy to deal with."
Han Ruoruo's control over the Shaking Gold Rope had reached a superb level. Not only was her defense impenetrable, but it also subtly possessed a sense of using stillness to control movement and striking first after the opponent has moved.
Her Divine Power was also extremely powerful, which enabled her to predict and capture the trajectory of the Void Stab so accurately.
Kong Xuan's eyes sharpened. He knew that testing her was pointless against an opponent like Han Ruoruo; he had to unleash his true strength to have any chance of breaking through her defenses.
As Control System Soul Master, Han Ruoruo's true strength lies in her control abilities; her opponent hasn't even used their full potential yet.
Kong Xuan's third Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring lit up first, and with the support of the Atlas Battle Intent, his aura suddenly increased significantly.
Then, his Second Soul Ring flashed, and Kong Xuan turned around, his Atlas Spear flying out of his hand, aimed directly at Han Ruoruo opposite him.
Although she didn't know Kong Xuan's purpose, Han Ruoruo knew she couldn't let his Atlas Spear get close. With Shaking Gold Rope, she deflected the flying Atlas Spear away.
Kong Xuan remained unmoved upon seeing this; he hadn't expected his Second Soul Skill, the Clear Sky Divine Spear Formation, to be effective against Han Ruoruo.
With a casual flick of his wrist, the Atlas Spear that had been thrown out returned to Kong Xuan's hand.
At this moment, Han Ruoruo had already begun to take the initiative to attack!
