Xuan Zi felt quite regretful seeing that two opposing teams had formed. His original plan was for the students to fight individually or form small teams to fight each other. He didn't expect that two large teams would be formed now, and he would soon eliminate Qian Guyi and Xu Sanshi, whom he had his eye on.
Although Xuan Zi was coerced by the Holy Spirit Cult, he still identified himself as a member of the Shrek Academy and wanted to uphold Shrek's honor.
"What a pity!" Xuan Zi couldn't help but say.
" Xuan Zi, it's nothing. The Shrek Seven Devils we select each year may not all be the strongest, but with the training of the Shrek Academy, they will definitely be able to win the Soul Master Tournament." Yan Shaozhe immediately comforted Yan Shaozhe when he heard Xuan Zi say it was a pity.
Xuan Zi nodded and continued watching the match.
Both sides had already activated their Martial Soul. Huo Yuhao moved to Qian Guyi's side and whispered, " Guyi, those twins are called Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu, and there's also Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu. The four of them have Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
Qian Guyi nodded and immediately addressed everyone, "The people opposite are just a hastily assembled rabble. You are all related to my uncle to some extent, so follow my orders. I'll be in front, Xu Sanshi on the left, Wang Qiu'er on the right, and the rest of you in the rear, supporting each other. He Caitou, use your Soul Tool to provide firepower."
"Yes!" the seven answered in unison.
Huo Yuhao immediately activated his Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing, then shouted, "Come on, Ultimate Ice that freezes everything!" The next moment, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul appeared behind him, instantly freezing the entire arena into a layer of ice.
Before Yang Youxing and the others could react, their feet were frozen to the ground by the Ultimate Ice.
"Ah! We can't move! Everyone, defend!" Cao Jinxuan, a core disciple of the second year, shouted loudly.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The eight members of the Qian Guyi had already rushed over. Xu Sanshi, with the Xuanming Shield on his back, directly rammed into the strongest defense on the other side, Xie Huanyue, the owner of the Rubber Elephant Martial Soul.
Xu Sanshi's impact seemed to have no effect; the force of the impact was directly absorbed by Xie Huanyue's fat, as if he had bumped into a large ball of cotton. When Xu Sanshi's impact force was exhausted, Xie Huanyue suddenly bounced, sending Xu Sanshi flying back.
Xie Huanyue laughed loudly, "Senior, your impact isn't enough!"
Just as the front row was locked in a standoff, Qian Guyi spread her Holy Angel wings and took flight, slashing towards the opponent's back row.
"Stop Qian Guyi!" Yang Youxing shouted. Instantly, seven or eight students broke free from the ice, leaped up, and were about to launch their Soul Skill to attack Qian Guyi.
Qian Guyi's fourth Soul Ring shone brightly, and she softly uttered, " Fourth Soul Skill, Angel's Roar!"
Instantly, all twenty-odd opponents suffered a severe mental shock, and all their Soul Skill intended to intercept Qian Guyi were interrupted.
Qian Guyi suddenly kicked out in mid-air, sending the two women blocking her way between herself and the Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu flying. Then, like a phantom, Qian Guyi attacked the two women directly.
The Lan sisters were not particularly strong to begin with, and at this moment they had neither broken free from the freezing of the Ultimate Ice nor recovered from the mental shock of the Angel's Roar.
At this moment, Qian Guyi had already flown in front of them. She made a move, grabbing one of them in each hand and flying them out of the arena. When the two sisters regained their senses, they realized they were in mid-air. Just as they were about to struggle, Qian Guyi exerted force and threw them out of the arena.
At that moment, the referee's voice rang out. " Lan Luoluo, Lan Susu, eliminated!"
Taking advantage of the combined effects of the freezing and Angel's Roar, Wang Qiu'er rushed in front of Zhu Lu, immediately raised the Golden Dragon Spear, and lashed it directly at Zhu Lu.
With a muffled thud, Zhu Lu was knocked to the ground. Only then did Dai Huabin regain his senses from the mental shock of the Angel's Roar. Seeing Zhu Lu's horrific state, he roared, "Ah! Wang Qiu'er, how dare you hurt Zhu Lu like this! I'll kill you!"
After saying that, he suddenly threw a punch at Wang Qiu'er. Wang Qiu'er did not back down at all and directly threw a punch back at him. Instantly, Wang Qiu'er was knocked back two steps, while Dai Huabin was knocked back seven or eight steps before he could barely steady himself.
Just as Wang Qiu'er was about to deliver the finishing blow, the opponent's numerical advantage immediately became apparent, with five opponents instantly surrounding her. Wang Dong'er knew that if she didn't leave soon, she would be surrounded and attacked, but unfortunately, she failed to completely eliminate Zhu Lu.
With the first exchange over, both sides returned to a stalemate. Yang Youxing's face was ashen; two of his men had been eliminated and four were injured. Qian Guyi, on the other hand, had only lost a little Soul Power, and he hadn't even managed to touch their clothes.
Yang Youxing roared, "Fine, fine, fine! Qian Guyi, you're not showing any classmate affection at all, are you? Take this!"
Four Soul Ring —yellow, yellow, purple, and purple—shone brightly beneath Yang Youxing's feet, and four powerful Soul Beast appeared beside him: a 400-year-old Earth Demon Bear, a 700-year-old Flame Fierce Tiger, a 1500-year-old Vigorous Demon Ape, and a 4000-year-old Fanged Tyrannosaurus.
Yang Youxing shouted, "Go!" and the four Soul Beast launched an attack on Qian Guyi together.
Qian Guyi's lips curled into a smile, her fifth Soul Ring shone, and an Angel Holy Sword suddenly appeared in her hand. Then she shouted again, " Fifth Soul Skill, Angel Holy Sword!"
A massive golden Angel Holy Sword pierced directly at Yang Youxing and his Soul Beast. With a deafening boom, Yang Youxing instantly collapsed to the ground, unconscious, while his summoned Soul Beast vanished. Several Soul Elder around him, whose cultivation levels were not high, were also injured by the aftershocks of the Soul Skill and collapsed to the ground.
With the release of Qian Guyi's strongest Soul Skill, the opposing team had already lost more than half of its members.
Seeing this, Dai Huabin, whose arm was already injured, shouted, " Zhu Lu, can you hold on a little longer? We have no choice but to use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill and fight to the death! Otherwise, we won't be able to join the Shrek Seven Devils!"
Zhu Lu, pale-faced, nodded in agreement. The next moment, the two embraced, their Soul Power beginning to merge.
Seeing Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Hell White Tiger again, Wang Dong'er subconsciously imagined that, just like in the Freshman Tournament, she and Huo Yuhao would use the even faster Martial Soul Fusion Skill "The Withering in Brilliance, The Golden Road " to eliminate them.
However, Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment before taking Wang Dong'er's outstretched hand. Huo Yuhao was filled with inner conflict and pain. He truly loved Wang Dong'er, and he also loved Ning Tian. But he had promised Ning Tian that he would keep his distance from Wang Dong'er.
Huo Yuhao forcibly suppressed his conflicted feelings and said to Wang Dong'er, "Let's forget it, Dong'er. I think Sister Guyi, Xu Sanshi, and He Caitou Brother He Caitou are enough to defeat our opponent. Besides, there's me, you, Qiu'er, and Xiao Xiao. There's no need to expend so much energy."
" Yuhao?" Wang Dong'er looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise. But Huo Yuhao no longer looked at her and continued to maintain the effects of Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't look at her again, Wang Dong'er felt a pang of pain in her heart. She didn't know what she had done wrong that made Huo Yuhao so cold towards her. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back.
As Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er failed to immediately use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to interrupt Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, a nearly ten-meter-long Hell White Tiger finally appeared on the field.
The Hell White Tiger let out a roar that seemed to shatter the heavens, causing Wang Qiu'er, Hell White Tiger was closest to it, to retreat rapidly and return to her team.
Facing the Hell White Tiger, whose power surpassed her own, Wang Qiu'er exclaimed, "Damn it! I didn't expect that even when it was severely injured, it could still unleash Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
