"Everyone back off!"

At the referee's signal, Shen Ce glanced coldly at Lu Cheng, then led the other six men to the edge of the arena.

The strength of the Five Soul Ancestor Soul Elder is completely different from that of the One Soul King and Six Soul Ancestor. Not to mention that the lineup of the Thousand Spirit Team is not to be underestimated. The team has developed its own unique fighting style.

This roster is fully qualified to compete for a top-three finish in the group stage.

Even making it into the top sixteen is just a matter of luck.

"The match begins!"

With a shout from the referee.

The Thousand Spirit Team was on high alert, with their best-matched Soul Ring rising from their feet. There were six Soul Ancestor and one Soul King, although the latter had two yellow and three purple spirit rings and lacked the black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring rings to support him, which made him look less imposing. Even so, a powerful sense of oppression still descended.

Even the hundreds of thousands of spectators in the stadium fell silent in an instant.

"Set up formation!"

Shen Ce, who was in the lead, shouted loudly.

Four burly figures instantly blocked the way, forming the Martial Soul Spirit Rhinoceros Shield. These four were clearly from the same origin sect, and their Martial Soul were exactly the same. The Spirit Rhinoceros Shield, as steady as a rock, blocked the way, while the three behind them were not idle either.

A sharp, silver spear, about twelve feet long, appeared in Shen Ce's hand. The handle had faint patterns on it. This was his Martial Soul, called the Thousand Strike Spear, which was good at both close and long-range attacks. However, their strategy against Lu Cheng was to attack from a distance.

The farther the better.

Winning by maintaining distance and denying the opponent a chance to use illusions.

That guy's Martial Soul is most likely his eyes, and as long as they don't look into each other's eyes, they'll most likely avoid being hit.

Therefore, the four giant shields not only blocked the distance between the two sides, but also their line of sight...

"Lengye, Yu Yan, enchant me!"

He gave a soft shout.

The two female "mages" surrounding them also unleashed their respective Martial Soul: An Lengye released a Frost Giant Bear, while Fei Yuyan released a Black-Spotted Red Tiger.

One of ice and one of fire simultaneously enchanted the spear.

"Dare to underestimate Qianling Academy, and you will pay the price..." Shen Ce gritted his teeth, a flash of anger crossing his face, even a hint of satisfaction at the impending beating of the Shrek Academy.

In their eyes, that guy's abilities were indeed strange, but as long as he was Soul Master, he had weaknesses and couldn't be invincible. And what did a Spirit-type Soul Master rely on? It must be the unexpected mental control. And once he couldn't control the enemy in a short time...

What we'll face then is their strong counterattack.

Soul Master with the Mental Attribute are also notoriously fragile.

"Kneel down before me!!!"

With a furious shout, Shen Ce arched his back, thrusting his spear backward to assume a fighting stance.

"Shrek Academy has probably made a mistake this time..."

Sun Moon Empire.

Xiao Hongchen and the others crossed their arms and watched this scene with a rather arrogant air.

In the subsequent analysis by most academies, it was found that the illusions used by Lu Cheng of the Shrek Academy that day were all achieved through "tricks," such as using the enemy's unknown information to forcibly pull the enemy into an illusion by making eye contact... This was also the conclusion reached by countless members of the Sun Moon Team after analyzing the battle footage from that day.

An extremely fragile spirit-type Soul Master, if placed in the Sun Moon Empire and equipped with a powerful Soul Tool, would be a terrifying weapon of war. However, in the original continent, especially in a place like Shrek Academy...

That would probably mean a Soul Master who can only play a support or Control System. It's not that he's not strong enough, but rather that his strength is built upon his teammates.

Just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, it's useless on its own, but if you let it assist other Soul Master in battle, then it becomes incredibly powerful.

And this kind of illusion is rather inadequate.

After blocking the other person's line of sight, or deliberately avoiding their eyes, Lu Cheng's illusion technique is basically half useless.

Now, it will be much more difficult to easily intimidate the Heavenly Spirit Team and everyone else as on the first day.

"Too arrogant..."

Xiao Hongchen shook his head, a hint of regret in his eyes.

"While I acknowledge his exceptional talent, such arrogance is somewhat inappropriate. This is, after all, the Continental Soul Master Tournament, not child's play."

"Not bad." Ma Rulong nodded slightly.

"If the rest of the Shrek Academy's weaklings had been sent out in this match, their assistance would have prevented this embarrassing situation from occurring."

With the Shrek Academy struggling to keep up in the first two group matches, and none of their key players playing, people began to have their own guesses.

The main force... might have made a mistake.

Currently, all of the Shrek Academy's resources are concentrated on the reserve team.

This explains why Lu Cheng was sent to establish authority.

Why...

"Perhaps he's also skilled with Soul Tool?" Meng Hongchen asked, a hint of worry flashing in her blue eyes as she frowned slightly.

"Hahaha, how could that be?" Xiao Hongchen heartily.

"Little sister, it's not that I'm making fun of him, but this kid is clearly a staunch supporter of the Martial Soul faction at the Shrek Academy. You can tell from the strength of his Martial Soul and his combat power. He has a very deep understanding of the Martial Soul Department. A person's energy is limited. Reaching this level is already quite impressive. How could he possibly also be cultivating the Soul Tool Department..."

"..."

"A soul-guiding genius like your brother is one in a hundred years." Xiao Hongchen pointed proudly to himself, his expression carrying a hint of arrogance.

The people from the Sun Moon Empire around him smiled, but did not show any disdain.

After all, what Xiao Hongchen said was the truth.

Soul King at the age of fourteen or fifteen, Level 5 Soul Engineer, Martial Soul the Three-Legged Golden Toad, capable of manipulating metal and conjuring over a hundred Level 5 Soul Cannon at will—to say he's a once-in-a-century talent is an understatement; in reality, he's a once-in-a-millennium individual...

"It's just the group stage, it's not over yet." Xiao Hongchen sighed and shook his head.

"But I hope he learns from his mistake and stops being so arrogant. I still hope to have a chance to fight him."

"Drink it!"

With a loud shout, a gap suddenly appeared in the middle of the row of Spirit Rhinoceros Shield in front of him, and Shen Ce's spear completed its charging, with the last deep purple Soul Ring slowly swaying up.

The enchantments of ice and fire also give this Thousand Strike Spear a powerful elemental attack.

This scene was quite abrupt and swift.

It was completed in just a few seconds, giving Lu Cheng no time to react.

Because of the four heavy Spirit Rhinoceros Shield, Lu Cheng couldn't see the enemy's attack clearly and could only make a rough judgment based on the sharp aura of the Thousand Strike Spear.

Therefore, this move is invincible, and even teams with other Soul King level experts would find it difficult to win against it.

"Buzz..."

The sharp spear roared as if tearing through the air.

It was projected directly at Lu Cheng.

"Not good!"

The referee's pupils constricted sharply as his combat power, originating from the Soul Douluo, surged, and he was about to rush forward to provide assistance.

But just as he stepped onto the stage, he suddenly froze in place.

The boy's face remained calm, tinged with a warm smile, as five Soul Ring slowly rose from the soles of his feet.

"Purple, purple, black, red, red..." (The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's primal power nurtures the lifespan of its Soul Ring, just as Snow Empress and Jiaojiao do. Therefore, the protagonist's current Soul Ring lifespan is much higher than before.)

This is an extremely bizarre Soul Ring configuration.

This left everyone present speechless.

Xu Jiawei suddenly stood up, staring at the scene in shock.

Xu Jiujiu also had a blank expression.

Especially the last Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, which emitted an eerie crimson color, yet appeared noble, proud, and unparalleled.

The enchanted Thousand Strike Spear seemed to freeze in mid-air.

As Lu Cheng activated the power of his Double Pupils, his originally terrifying speed gradually slowed down in his eyes, as if he were decelerating. In Lu Cheng's left hand, a crimson longbow slowly appeared, and the power of the Fire of Essence Sun, an even stronger existence Ultimate Fire, surged out from his body, raging wildly throughout the entire arena.

To countless people, his body appeared to be engulfed in flames.

With his right hand, he drew the bowstring, two fingers holding a crimson arrow.

Aim at that Thousand Strike Spear.

It shot out with a roar.

"Boom!!!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the sharpest point of the crimson arrow collided violently with the tip of the Thousand Strike Spear.

A terrifying sonic boom emanated in layers.

Even more terrifying was that the crimson arrow, after only a moment's pause, ripped through the tip of the Thousand Strike Spear, piercing it from the inside, and the latter was shattered into pieces, split in two.

"Help, help me!!!"

Shen Ce was stunned at first, and as his Martial Soul shattered, he spat out blood. He looked at the young man who still stood proudly, calmly looking down at them, and the crimson arrow that was coming towards them in an instant.

He roared out his last, frantic cry.

Then, a continuous wave of fire engulfed them completely.
