Seeing the seven people in front of him looking happy, Qi Ling couldn't help but smile slightly. In fact, he had always known that his presence had become a wall in their hearts. If he didn't give them a victory, it would greatly limit their growth.
So this time, although Qi Ling didn't hold back, she did intend to give them a victory so that they could cheer up, regain their confidence, and participate in the competition in their best condition.
"Alright, now that the competition is over, let's call it a day..."
Qi Ling was about to end the match when Zhu Zhuqing spoke up, "It's not over yet, we can't say we've won. Qi Ling, why don't you use your Fourth Soul Skill?"
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, everyone realized that although Qi Ling was indeed fighting with all his might, he had not used his most important new Soul Skill.
Qi Ling gave a helpless wry smile and said, " The Fourth Soul Skill... well, look, this isn't really the right occasion. Besides, I don't have much Soul Power left, and..."
"If we need you to go easy on us to win even in a battle like this, then we might as well not have this victory!" Zhu Zhuqing said resolutely.
The others then remembered that Qi Ling hadn't used his Fourth Soul Skill yet, so Xiao Wu said, "That's right, Brother Qi, just use your Fourth Soul Skill and let us see how powerful it is!"
"Haha, Boss Qi, don't worry, it's just a Soul Skill. With our teamwork, we can definitely handle it. Just use it!" Having just won the victory, Ma Hongjun seemed to have become much more arrogant and couldn't help but say to Qi Ling.
Tang San broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words. He had actually realized that his elder brother simply wanted to give everyone a victory to boost their confidence.
Ironically, while others are focused on winning during competitions, his older brother seems to be constantly thinking about how to lose. The reason he's unwilling to use his Fourth Soul Skill is likely because he himself wouldn't know how to lose if he did.
Seeing everyone's insistence, Qi Ling said helplessly, "Sigh, alright, alright, from now on, this will no longer be our training match. Just treat it as an exhibition of my Soul Skill."
" Blood Devil Emperor's Fourth Soul Skill: Blood Devil Slays Heaven!"
As Qi Ling's black Fourth Soul Ring lit up, an exceptionally evil and ominous feeling spread from his body. Everyone felt as if the peerless Ferocious Beast Tyrannical Savage from that day had come back to life and was standing in front of them, baring its fangs and claws.
Then, a black energy body spread out from Qi Ling's body. Although it had no physical form, it leaped like flames and gradually covered Qi Ling's entire body, enveloping him completely.
As this strange energy spread throughout his body, Qi Ling's body seemed to expand as well. The originally amiable expression on his face disappeared, replaced by an extremely eerie expression composed of black energy.
"Alright, you guys, bring it on." A hoarse voice came from Qi Ling's mouth, seemingly containing the deepest evil, making everyone shiver involuntarily.
Faced with such a terrifying monster, the people needed all their courage just to stand in front of him, let alone attack him.
At this moment, everyone fully understood why Qi Ling was unwilling to use this Soul Skill. Indeed, standing in front of him now, no one felt that they had any chance of winning.
"What? What are you hesitating about? You know perfectly well that it's me standing in front of you, just in a different guise, yet you're too scared to make a move. Can you still call yourselves the Shrek Seven Devils?" Qi Ling continued in her hoarse voice.
In fact, Qi Ling also knew that the reason why the Shrek Seven Devils dared not attack was not because of them, but because of her own Martial Soul.
After using her Fourth Soul Skill, Qi Ling will be unable to use any other Soul Skill during the duration of Blood Devil Slays Heaven. However, this will also grant her the characteristics of those other Soul Skill.
For example, the fear energy he is currently releasing comes from his Third Soul Ring. If the Shrek Academy members can overcome this fear, it will undoubtedly be a huge growth opportunity for them.
Under Qi Ling's painstaking mockery, someone in Shrek finally made a move—it was none other than Zhu Zhuqing, who was always the most cold and independent.
She first unleashed the Amethyst Shield, then charged towards Qi Ling at full speed, unleashing the Netherworld Hundred Claws once more, attacking Qi Ling's body, which was filled with strange energy.
But then, a shocking scene unfolded: Zhu Zhuqing's attack seemed to sink into the sea, completely merging into Qi Ling's body without eliciting the slightest reaction.
"Hmm, not bad, as expected of Zhu Zhuqing," Qi Ling said approvingly. "What about the others? Are you all willing to be surpassed by Zhu Zhuqing like this?"
In that case, naturally no one could withstand it. Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai immediately unleashed their remaining Soul Skill, launching their strongest attack on Qi Ling.
What shocked and terrified them was that no matter what kind of attack they launched, it couldn't cause any damage to Qi Ling, as if they hadn't exerted any effort at all.
"Hehe, Brother Qi, it's my turn!" Xiao Wu said eagerly. Among everyone present, she was probably the only one who wasn't afraid at all, because she knew that no matter what Qi Ling became, he would still be her Brother Qi.
But just as Xiao Wu excitedly approached Qi Ling, preparing to unleash her Soul Skill, Qi Ling extended a finger, blocking Xiao Wu's attack and saying, " Xiao Wu, I'm sorry, you can't attack me."
"Huh? Why? Brother Qi, you're being unfair!" Xiao Wu said indignantly. "Why can you accept their attacks but not mine? Brother Qi, are you scared?"
Faced with Xiao Wu's question, Qi Ling smiled helplessly, "Yes, I am indeed afraid, because if you attack me, you will get hurt."
Everyone was speechless. Qi Ling's fear stemmed from her fear of Xiao Wu getting hurt. Could there be anything more devastating? Yet, ironically, it didn't seem like Qi Ling was lying.
Since all the attacks were ineffective, Tang San didn't need to try anymore. As a Control System Soul Master, he couldn't do anything at this point, because Qi Ling didn't need his control at all; she had already absorbed all the attacks.
"But, Boss Qi, how can you win if you just keep taking hits like this?" Ma Hongjun asked doubtfully. Could it be that Qi Ling's Fourth Soul Skill is just a passive skill for taking hits?
