Kong Ling, Xu Tianyi, Xu Wei.

Although none of the three were flying-type Soul Master, they were not without anti-air capabilities.

Kong Ling's Sun Divine Light could work, but hitting it isn't so easy.

And then there's Xu Wei!

Xu Wei's First Soul Skill, Lightning Flash, is called a divine skill not only because it can make him immune to physical attacks, but also because it can transform into Soul Skill after being used.

Lightning doesn't travel in a fixed direction; who says it can't go upwards?

Xu Wei hadn't thought of this at first, and even after using his Soul Skill, he was still running around aimlessly on the ground.

However, under the guidance of his homeroom Ren Jun, he gained stronger and stronger control over his First Soul Skill and developed abilities he had never imagined before.

For example, right now he can control the lightning he transforms into to move upwards.

Although Xu Wei does not possess a flying-type Beast Martial Soul, he gained the ability to traverse the skies after unleashing his First Soul Skill, Lightning Flash!

The Lightning Flash moved extremely fast; even those with sharp eyesight in the audience could only see a streak of lightning flash from bottom to top.

Meanwhile, Yuan Qingshuang, who was in mid-air, was completely unaware that her crisis had already befallen her.

Yuan Qingshuang didn't realize what was happening until the lightning bolt struck behind her, but it was too late.

As the lightning dissipated, Xu Wei's figure appeared above and behind Yuan Qingshuang.

Xu Wei will naturally continue to fall after losing his Lightning Flash, but for him, a moment is enough to make a move.

The dagger in his hand Entanglement with lightning; even though it was just an ordinary weapon made of rare metal, it still shimmered with a dangerous aura.

This is also the result of Ren Jun's teaching. Lightning inherently possesses powerful destructive force. Mastering a trace of its power and fusing it with a weapon, even if it's not Soul Skill, can still enhance attack power.

Xu Wei seized the opportunity and stabbed Yuan Qingshuang in the back of the head with his dagger.

Yuan Qingshuang, who had just realized the danger, could only turn her head slightly. Although she saw Xu Wei falling behind her, she had no time to react.

"Bite!"

With a crisp sound, Yuan Qingshuang clearly saw a nearly transparent barrier appear behind her, blocking the attack.

At the same time, she realized that she had been eliminated!

She thought she had seen the light at the end of the tunnel, but unexpectedly, she was eliminated by Xu Wei, whom she had overlooked.

This psychological gap was something Yuan Qingshuang found difficult to accept for a while.

Just then, the referee's announcement of the result reached her ears.

"Match over! Kong Ling Team wins!"

There was no enthusiastic applause or cheers from the audience, since this match was between the Soul Master classes from various academies within the Sun Moon Empire, and most of the audience here did not have direct contact with them.

Only the students in the class were clapping and shouting wildly, celebrating for Kong Ling and the others.

But the voices of a few dozen people seemed insignificant in this Soul Fighting Arena that could hold 100,000 people.

Most of the spectators were whispering among themselves, because the match was indeed spectacular.

Although the match was short, it was full of twists and turns, exceeding their expectations.

The teams that hadn't been eliminated yet also looked solemn after watching the match, clearly shocked by the strength displayed by Kong Ling and her two companions.

This time, Kong Ling and her two companions' abilities were almost entirely exposed to the public.

Whether it was Kong Ling's powerful Second Soul Skill or Xu Wei's unexpected First Soul Skill, both posed a great threat to everyone.

Initially, everyone's attention was focused on Kong Xuan, who hadn't made a move yet, but it wasn't until the match ended that they realized the reality.

Even if Kong Xuan didn't participate, they probably wouldn't be confident of victory.

Apart from Xu Tianyi, who was injured and went to receive treatment, Kong Ling and Xu Wei quickly returned to the audience.

The classmates were all there, and in an instant, the two were greeted with cheers again, like a nation welcoming a triumphant general.

After the two sat down next to Kong Xuan, their eyes turned to the Soul Fighting Arena below. The second match was about to begin!

Watching the game is also a way to gather information.

The remaining teams are all quite strong.

Such matches between teams often force each other to reveal their true intentions.

Xu Wei carried a small notebook, and after each match, he would write down the information of the winning team, as these people were likely to become their opponents later.

However, apart from Gu Wenyu, Two-Ring Soul Master from the Dongyang Advanced Soul Engineer Academy, who used his Second Soul Skill and demonstrated the powerful effect of a Spiritual System Martial Soul, there were no other Soul Masters who used it.

Xu Wei felt that the other opponents were not worth taking seriously at all.

However, despite thinking this way, he didn't skimp on the information he recorded.

"You need to watch this match carefully; I think they will be your biggest opponents."

Ren Jun's sudden words immediately piqued the interest of Kong Xuan and the others, who looked at the Soul Fighting Arena with a newfound curiosity.

The next match is between the Mingdu Advanced Soul Engineer Academy and Risheng Advanced Soul Engineer Academy.

After both sides took to the field, Kong Ling's gaze fell on one person. She recognized this person; it was Shui Ling.

At the same time, she also knew that what her homeroom teacher Ren Jun, said she needed to pay attention to was Shui Ling's team!

She had always considered Shui Ling a rival, and this time she wanted to see just how strong their team really was!

As the competition began, all three Soul Master from the Risheng Advanced Soul Engineer Academy Martial Soul Possession, and the three yellow Soul Ring indicated that they were three One-Ring Soul Master.

On the other side, of the three members of the Shui Ling Team, only two had activated their Martial Soul Possession, while the third stood at the back, seemingly not planning to make a move.

Although the opponents were only three One-Ring Soul Master, their strength must be considerable to have made it this far.

The audience was also surprised that the people from the Mingdu Advanced Soul Engineer Academy would still try to hide their strengths under such circumstances.

However, when they saw the Soul Ring of the two people with Martial Soul Possession, the doubts that had just arisen in their hearts instantly disappeared, because they might really have that kind of strength.

Shui Ling and Lü Hanwen, both Martial Soul Possession, each had two yellow Soul Ring constantly pulsating on their bodies. These two were actually Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster!

Each additional Soul Ring greatly enhances Soul Master's abilities.

Normally, it is extremely difficult for One-Ring Soul Master to defeat Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster.

Shui Ling's team is one of only two teams among the participating teams to have two Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster.

The other team was naturally Kong Xuan's group, but Kong Xuan, a Soul Grandmaster, had never actually participated in the battle.

As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, Lü Hanwen rushed out.

He clearly possesses a lion-type Beast Martial Soul, and his physique underwent a significant change after the Martial Soul Possession.

He charged at the three opponents alone, seemingly intending to take on all three of them at once.

The three people opposite them did not panic upon seeing this. They remained in place, ready to respond, with no fear in their eyes.

To break into the top 30, one must have some skill.

"Roar!!!"

With a roar like a lion, Lü Hanwen had already rushed in front of the three of them.

Du Ming, one of the three and a defensive-type Soul Master, stepped forward. His first Soul Rock Armor Shield, instantly expanded and unfolded, the heavy rock shield blocking the way for the three.

Lü Hanwen also lit up his First Soul Ring, his claws covered in bright golden light, and slammed them hard against the shield opposite him.

His First Soul Skill, Gold-Rending Claw Covering an armor-piercing effect, making it the best counter to defensive Soul Master.

"Bang!"

The shield trembled violently, and fine cracks could be seen on it. Du Ming groaned, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he gritted his teeth and stubbornly refused to retreat.

Just then, teammate Qian Song suddenly appeared from behind Du Ming.

The Wind Shadow Leopard granted him incredible speed. He activated his First Soul Skill, Wind Shadow Assault, and his figure transformed into three afterimages, attacking Lü Hanwen from different angles.

It seemed impossible for Lü Hanwen to completely dodge the three attacks, but suddenly his feet left the ground.

His body had nowhere to gain leverage in mid-air, yet he somehow managed to complete a complex set of dodging maneuvers, causing Qian Song's three attacks to all miss!

Such meticulous execution immediately drew gasps of amazement from the audience.

Unexpectedly, Lü Hanwen, a Power Attack System Soul Master, was able to dodge in such a way.

Kong Xuan, who had been watching the situation in the Soul Fighting Arena closely, narrowed his eyes. In his golden pupils, he could see things that ordinary people could not.

He knew that the series of actions just now were not performed by Lü Hanwen.

The real "mastermind" is actually Shui Ling behind the scenes!
