First Victory!
"Oh? Little guy, is this your trump card? Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, that's indeed surprising, but little guy, I have Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring too."
Bibi Dong, standing at the very top of the stands, watched Yu Tianshuang release a deep red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring below the field. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she became increasingly interested in this incredibly confident young man.
With her fully Martial Soul Possession Yu Tianshuang was now seen by the Nightshade Academy Team as if she were facing an academy teacher. Could this terrifying sense of oppression truly come from a student their own age?
"First Soul Skill, Prismatic Barrier Ice Array."
Hearing the imposing man opposite them unleash his Soul Skill, the Nightshade Academy Team was on high alert, their tension almost unbearable.
However, several ice walls suddenly appeared on the Skywater Academy Team's side. The four ice walls appeared horizontally, closely adjacent to each other, completely isolating and protecting Ning Rongrong and the other two.
At this moment, only Yu Tianshuang remained on the field, standing in front of the ice wall, facing off against the seven members of the Nightshade Academy Team who were on high alert. It was truly a one-against-seven situation.
"This is utter nonsense. Even if Lingling and Hairou are both healing-type Soul Master, Hairou also has Defense System Soul Skill to help with defense. If you get injured, Lingling can heal you immediately. Isolating and protecting the three of them like this really means you have to face the entire team alone. And this Nightshade Academy is not like the Blazing Fire Academy back then, which underestimated you and gave you the chance to defeat them one by one. This is simply absurd."
Shui Xinrou watched her disciple's performance offstage. Although she understood why he was doing this, she was still somewhat troubled.
To fully demonstrate one's value in front of everyone and gain more favor, especially the woman high above in the stands who is watching one closely, one's help is indispensable to achieving one's goal.
Seeing the more conservative positioning of the opposing Nightshade Academy Team, and their extremely tense and wary expressions, Yu Tianshuang smiled.
"Second Soul Skill, Frost Sword Tooth Rain."
Seeing the turtle-shell-like shape opposite him, Yu Tianshuang immediately released his Second Soul Skill, and instantly, a series of incredibly sharp, icy blue longswords emanating terrifying coldness rapidly condensed behind him.
With a single, gentle wave of his hand towards the Nightshade Academy Team's formation, countless icy blue longswords whistled behind him, hurtling towards them with terrifying whooshing sounds.
On the Nightshade Academy Team's side, looking at the attack that covered them all, they were simply incredulous. The Second Soul Skill was actually an area-of-effect attack, and the range of the attack was so wide. Even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill shouldn't be this powerful. And this was just the Second Soul Skill!
"Don't panic! This Soul Skill is an area-of-effect attack, but it's only the Second Soul Skill, so its attack power won't be that strong. Everyone, defend with me!"
Seeing the panic among the others after being enveloped by this Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill, the captain of the Nightshade Team, the only Soul Ancestor, quickly mustered his Soul Power to defend himself and comfort his teammates.
However, the frustrating and suffocating reality was that countless icy blue longswords relentlessly attacked them. Defending against the first icy blue longsword attack was already difficult for this Soul Ancestor to comprehend. Seeing that he had already consumed 20% of his Soul Power after being attacked by just one longsword, and with the biting frost on his arm constantly assaulting his body, he felt a sense of powerlessness.
Not long after Yu Tianshuang finished her attack, and as the icy mist that had risen after being bombarded by countless icy blue longswords dissipated, everyone saw that all the members of the Nightshade Academy Team were lying on the ground, dead and unknown.
"Hiss!"
The arena was already quite cold due to the terrifying frost power emanating from Yu Tianshuang, and everyone around gasped in shock.
Ignoring the incredulous looks on the faces of those around her, Yu Tianshuang waved her hand to dispel the protective Prismatic Barrier Ice Array the women and turned to walk towards them.
"I, I hereby declare that in the first round of the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament finals, the match between the Nightshade Academy and Skywater Academy has been won by the Skywater Academy!"
As the announcer declared victory, Yu Tianshuang led the girls in a graceful bow to their surroundings, then turned and Lengleng swept her gaze in the direction of the Shrek Academy before leaving the arena without looking back.
"That arrogant brat, how did he become so powerful? He wiped out the entire enemy team with just one Second Soul Skill, it's unbelievable! But it's okay, Feng Xiaotian, we can definitely defeat him, right?"
Huo Wu was in the stands, recovered from her shock. Her sexy Wumei red lips were tightly clenched with her teeth. Gone was her previous high spirits. She asked Feng Xiaotian, who was wearing a mask and whose expression could not be seen, with some uncertainty in her tone.
Although his mask obscured Feng Xiaotian's expression, his shocked and solemn gaze revealed that he was far from relaxed.
"Wow, Brother Tianshuang, even with my support as the number one Auxiliary System Soul Master on the continent, your strength is still amazing! You wiped out the entire enemy team with just one Second Soul Skill! I was just behind the ice wall talking to Lingling and the others, betting Tianshuang how long it would take you to finish the battle, hehe."
After recovering from her injuries, Ning Rongrong, who had become incredibly lively and adorable again, held Yu Tianshuang's arm and spoke with a smile.
"Yes, without the support of Rongrong, the number one Auxiliary System Soul Master on the continent, I definitely wouldn't have been able to end the battle so quickly."
Influenced by Ning Rongrong, Yu Tianshuang gently patted Ning Rongrong's head and said affectionately.
"Ahem, don't be smug or complacent. The Nightshade Academy Team is only at the bottom of the rankings in this final. Don't get arrogant just because of one victory, understand? You need to stay humble and avoid complacency. There are many strong teams, such as the seeded teams from the two great empires, and the Spirit Hall team known as the Golden Generation. They are at the pinnacle of your younger generation, so you must not be careless."
Seeing that the group was chattering again, Shui Xinrou was afraid that they would be blinded by a victory, so she quickly advised them.
"Don't worry, teacher, we won't become arrogant or complacent because of one victory."
Upon receiving a serious response from Yu Tianshuang and the others, Shui Xinrou nodded in agreement.
The following matches were not particularly interesting, and the group didn't watch them after returning to the locker room. Instead, they continued to exchange tactics and ideas for teamwork.
"Clang, clang, clang," Shui Xinrou shuffled back to the lounge in her high heels, carrying a document. Watching the group discuss their tactics, she nodded silently and said, "Tomorrow our opponent is our old rival, Blazing Fire Academy. But the good news is, for some reason, they forfeited, so we have a bye tomorrow. Everyone can have a good rest."
Although no one understood why there were only four of them left and why Blazing Fire Academy had forfeited, they still cheered with joy, knowing they could finally explore Spirit City and relax tomorrow.
