"The match begins!"
With the referee's whistle, the match officially began.
Both of them instantly Martial Soul Possession, and Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei rushed forward.
However, the three opponents did not make any move and remained standing in place.
Moreover, among the three, only Lü Hanwen and Shui Ling had undergone Martial Soul Possession, while An Le remained standing behind them, seemingly indifferent.
Xu Wei and Xu Tianyi, who were on their way, both darkened their expressions, feeling that the other party was looking down on them, and a surge of anger rose in their hearts.
A purple light flashed around Kong Ling, a sign that his Second Soul Ring had been activated.
In an instant, the three people opposite were trapped in the Blazing Sun Cage, and a scorching heat came from all directions, encroaching on them.
This time, Kong Ling and the others' strategy remained the same: to go all out from the start. After all, Shui Ling could steal their Soul Power, and the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
Kong Ling's Second Soul Skill was no secret, but even if the opponent knew about it, they were helpless against such an instantaneous and powerful control Soul Skill.
Despite being enveloped by the Blazing Sun Cage, Shui Ling and the other two showed no sign of panic, as if they had already devised a plan.
Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei arrived at Shui Ling and An Le's sides respectively, preparing to launch a fatal blow the moment the Blazing Sun Cage disappeared.
As for Lü Hanwen, this second-ring Power Attack System Soul Master may have the strongest destructive power, but in terms of priority, he is not as high as Shui Ling, the mysterious Control System Soul Master.
Just as Lü Hanwen was continuously using his First Soul Skill, Gold-Rending Claw, in an attempt to break through the Blazing Sun Cage, An Le, who was at the very back of the three, finally made a move.
A yellow Soul Ring rose from beneath her feet, while a burst of light erupted from the depths of her body, making every inch of her skin seem to radiate a holy glow.
Immediately afterwards, the space behind them seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and a pair of wings slowly emerged.
These wings are pure white, each feather shimmering with a soft light, as if sculpted from the purest substance in the world, carrying a sense of awe and sacredness.
The moment the Martial Soul Possession, a very small number of knowledgeable people in the audience were able to tell that it was Angel Martial Soul!
Angel Martial Soul are similar to true dragon-type Martial Soul; regardless of the type, they are almost all top-tier Martial Soul.
At this moment, the Angel Martial Soul that An Le is displaying is likely known to only one person present!
" Angel of Hope?!"
Yun Ming's excited voice echoed in Kong Xuan's mind; he was extremely familiar with this Martial Soul.
Ten thousand years later, Yun Ming's lover, the Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li, possesses the Martial Soul of the Prayer Angel!
"Teacher, An Le's Martial Soul is the Angel of Hope?"
Kong Xuan's voice carried a hint of surprise; she truly hadn't expected that this One-Ring Soul Master, who had always concealed her Martial Soul, would actually possess the Martial Soul of the Angel of Hope.
"There's absolutely no mistake!" Yun Ming's voice was resolute. "This is the Hope Angel Martial Soul. I never expected to see it ten thousand years ago!"
Looking at An Le's long, dark green hair in the Soul Fighting Arena, the image hidden deep in my heart resurfaced: Ya Li also had long, dark green hair.
Yun Ming's gaze softened, but then a complex emotion rose within him as he looked at An Le.
Although they shared the same Martial Soul and the same hair color, he couldn't see the same compassionate purity and gentleness in An Le as Ya Li.
She resembles you, but she is ultimately not you!
Xuan'er!
Yun Ming's voice was somewhat low, and Kong Xuan could even hear a slight tremor in those two very simple words.
"Teacher!"
Kong Xuan responded and waited for Yun Ming to continue.
"You said before that after I desperately blocked the Holy Spirit Cult's Rank Twelve Godslayer Soul Cannon, I preserved the Core Flame for the Shrek Academy, and Ya Li also survived."
"So... what happened to Ya Li in the end? Do you know?"
Yun Ming hadn't dared to ask this question before; he just needed to know that Ya Li had survived.
But after seeing the Angel of Hope again today, he could no longer resist wanting to know the final result.
Kong Xuan hesitated, pondering whether or not to tell Yun Ming the real answer.
After a moment, he slowly spoke, "In the final battle of the Abyss's invasion of Douluo Star, my master's wife burned herself, perishing together with the Ghost Emperor!"
Finally, Kong Xuan truthfully revealed Ya Li's fate.
He felt that Yun Ming had the right and the right to know the final fate of his beloved.
"I see!"
Yun Ming's voice was somewhat dejected, and his figure in front of Kong Xuan in the Sea of Consciousness also vanished.
Kong Xuan wasn't good at comforting people, and he knew that this news would also require his teacher, Yun Ming, to process quietly on his own for a while.
Just as Yun Ming and Kong Xuan were exchanging ideas in their Sea of Consciousness, a tremendous change occurred on the Soul Fighting Arena.
As An Le's Soul Ring lit up, three beams of light rose from her wings and landed on herself and her two teammates.
Then a pure white halo appeared around the three of them, radiating a soft holy light, as if they had acquired a special Soul Ring.
The light from the halo shielded them from the heat emanating from the Blazing Sun Cage, and the three of them felt much cooler in that instant.
An Le's First Soul Skill is called Purification Halo, which can be applied to himself and his teammates.
During the duration of the Purification Halo, it can remove abnormal statuses from friendly units and grant immunity to negative damage for a period of time.
The scorching heat emanating from the Blazing Sun Cage is naturally considered an abnormal state.
Therefore, even though they don't have Soul Master with water or ice attributes, they are still able to resist Kong Ling's Blazing Sun Cage by relying on the Purification Halo.
This is why they weren't panicked before.
Judging from the expressions of the three opponents, Kong Ling realized that the scorching attack from the Blazing Sun Cage seemed to have lost its effectiveness when the halo enveloped them.
Kong Ling then decisively ended the Blazing Sun Cage first, since the longer the Blazing Sun Cage existed, the greater the consumption of her Soul Power.
The instant the Blazing Sun Cage disappeared, Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei, who were already prepared, launched an attack on Shui Ling and An Le.
"Roar!!!"
A deafening roar suddenly erupted, engulfing an area in front of them.
This was Lü Hanwen activating his Second Soul Skill, Golden Lion Roar, and both Xu Tianyi and Shui Ling were within its Soul Skill.
Just as Xu Tianyi was about to unleash his First Soul Skill, Dragon Brilliant Flash, he was interrupted from casting the spell. Under the sonic waves and mental attack of the Golden Lion Roar, he froze on the spot, a look of pain on his face.
Shui Ling, because she possessed Purification Halo, was not affected by the Golden Lion Roar.
With a slight twitch of her fingers, she used her Martial Soul threads to control An Le's body from her side and behind.
The dagger in Xu Wei's hand was about to pierce An Le's neck, and the referee in mid-air was already prepared to intervene.
But to his surprise, at this critical moment, An Le suddenly shifted her body to the side, narrowly avoiding his attack!
On the other side, while Xu Tianyi was being controlled, Lü Hanwen naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by. His sharp lion claws reached forward, targeting Xu Tianyi.
The two were not far apart to begin with, and in the blink of an eye, Lü Hanwen rushed to Xu Tianyi's side.
But just as he was about to attack, he caught a glimpse of light out of the corner of his eye.
The small sun above Kong Ling's head was currently emitting a beam of orange-red light, which was her First Soul Skill, Sun Divine Light.
Attack where the enemy must defend; if Lü Hanwen chooses to continue attacking Xu Tianyi, then he will have to withstand this Sun Divine Light.
Kong Ling thought that Lü Hanwen would dodge, but to her surprise, Lü Hanwen seemed to have no intention of dodging at all.
Did he intend to trade injury for death?!
