With the Snow Empress stepping in to block Zhang Lexuan's sixth Soul Skill, Su Qingxue no longer needed to continue fighting.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was not Shrek Academy. The moment someone else intervened and undermined the fairness of the match, there was no need to keep fighting.
The Snow Empress had acted only to ensure Su Qingxue's survival. She had no interest in joining Su Qingxue in a two-on-one fight against Zhang Lexuan.
Thus, the moment the snow blocked Zhang Lexuan's attack, Su Qingxue cast a disdainful glance at the Dou Ling Empire's Titled Douluo, then walked off the competition platform.
"Be careful. That Titled Douluo from the Dou Ling Empire is nothing but trash. He can't guarantee your safety at all. If you really run into danger, surrender."
Su Qingxue spared the Dou Ling Empire's Titled Douluo not the slightest shred of dignity as she directly instructed the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's vice-captain, who was also the only Soul Emperor among them.
Hearing Su Qingxue's words, which left him no face whatsoever, the Douluo Empire's Titled Douluo wore an ugly expression.
He was just about to show Su Qingxue what the dignity of a Titled Douluo meant, to let Qingxue know that a Titled Douluo could not be insulted.
But then he remembered that it had indeed been his mistake just now. If Su Qingxue had not possessed special means of her own, that blow could have killed her.
At the thought that Su Qingxue had nearly lost her life, guilt welled up in his heart, making him lower his head in shame.
He then sent a voice transmission to the Su Clan elder leading the team. "I really didn't do it on purpose just now. I didn't see that attack coming either. Could you stop locking onto me?"
There was even a slight tremor in the voice of the Dou Ling Empire's Titled Douluo, because he felt that if he spoke a moment later, the teacher leading the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's team might hurl a Level 9 Soul Tool at him.
He was only an ordinary Titled Douluo with level 91 cultivation, and his Soul Rings were the worst configuration of two yellow, three purple, and four black. Never mind becoming a Super Douluo-even breaking through to level 92 would be difficult.
Facing the Su Clan elder at his level, the Titled Douluo's instincts told him that he might well die if they actually fought.
Since this was the Dou Ling Empire's home ground, the empire would probably avenge him after his death, but what good was revenge when he was already dead?
"You had better watch carefully. Don't let me see another member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's team come to harm!"
The Dou Ling Empire's Titled Douluo gave an inconspicuous nod, then offered his assurances through Sound Transmission.
After the Dou Ling Empire's Titled Douluo finished giving his assurances, Zhang Lexuan thought it over and finally decided to leave the stage.
Her battle with Su Qingxue had not been easy. If the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy sent up a Soul King, Zhang Lexuan could still fight another round and guarantee her victory.
But the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was about to send up a Soul Emperor. For Zhang Lexuan, who had already consumed more than half her Soul Power, her chances of winning if she kept fighting were slim.
Thus, Zhang Lexuan prepared to step down and let Qiangu Liefeng take her place.
Although Qiangu Liefeng had yet to become a Soul Emperor, they could only place their faith in his strength now.
However, just as Zhang Lexuan was about to step down and let Qiangu Liefeng take over, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's vice-captain was shoved aside.
Under Zhang Lexuan's puzzled gaze, Su Yun walked onto the competition platform.
Seeing Su Yun come up, Zhang Lexuan suddenly halted just as she was about to walk off the platform.
In his current condition, he definitely could not defeat the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's vice-captain. Even a Soul King would not be easy for her to fight now.
But the person the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy had sent onto the stage this time was no captain, nor even a regular team member. He was a participant for the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, a pure reserve.
Against a reserve, Zhang Lexuan could not only fight, but even slowly recover her Soul Power during their battle.
At that thought, Zhang Lexuan stopped in her tracks instead of stepping down.
If possible, buying some time to slowly recover her spent Soul Power would be best. Having her face the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's Soul Emperor was still the safest option.
"Are you sure you'll be fighting for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy?"
The referee asked in some surprise.
"Yes."
The referee glanced at Su Yun, then at Zhang Lexuan, feeling that the situation he faced this time was much better.
Although Su Yun lacked the strength to win, precisely because he was certain that Su Yun could not defeat Zhang Lexuan, all he needed to do was keep a close eye on Su Yun and make sure nothing happened to him.
As a Titled Douluo, he could still manage to focus on one person and ensure his safety.
"All right. Both sides, state your names."
"Shrek Academy, Zhang Lexuan."
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Su Yun."
"Begin!"
At the referee's command, the imagined scene of Zhang Lexuan casually suppressing Su Yun, or even recovering her Soul Power while suppressing him, did not occur.
The moment the referee's words fell, wings suddenly spread behind Su Yun, and he erupted with terrifying speed.
In that single instant when everyone relaxed, Su Yun had already charged in front of Zhang Lexuan. He swung a fist and smashed it hard into her mouth.
Had Zhang Lexuan been in her normal condition, she could have dodged even such a sudden burst of speed. Unfortunately, she was far too weak now.
Weakened and having underestimated her opponent, Zhang Lexuan took Su Yun's punch squarely in the mouth.
That single punch directly robbed Zhang Lexuan of the ability to say she surrendered.
Her legs were attacked next.
After being attacked, Zhang Lexuan's first reaction was to put some distance between them and rally for another fight.
But how could Su Yun possibly give her the chance to pull away?
Sturdy Dou Qi Armor covered Su Yun's hands, and the armored gauntlets even bore barbs condensed from Dou Qi.
With just a few punches, Su Yun brutally smashed both of Zhang Lexuan's legs until they broke.
Realizing that things had gone wrong, Zhang Lexuan once again used the teleportation of her Soul Bone Skill to try to escape. Unfortunately, Su Yun gave her no chance.
After breaking Zhang Lexuan's legs, Su Yun grabbed her head and smashed it into the competition platform. The intense dizziness left Zhang Lexuan unable to pinpoint a destination for her teleportation.
In an instant, Su Yun shattered not only her plan to teleport away and rally, but even Zhang Lexuan's ability to think of a way to escape.
The excruciating pain and the dizziness from the attacks on her head made even thinking difficult. At that moment, she could do nothing but take the beating.
Watching Su Yun pin Zhang Lexuan down and beat her like that, Dai Yueheng was utterly stunned.
He had originally intended to finish Su Yun off during this Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, but seeing the strength Su Yun had unleashed...
"What kind of monster did I provoke?"
