Their team had no Control System Soul Master.
The best tactic was a charge formation.
Only by having the two Defense System Soul Masters keep the opponents occupied could they create openings for Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan.
"Nine Treasures Turn Into Glazed Glass. Nine Treasures Have Names, First: Strength! Second: Speed!"
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in Ning Rongrong's hand, radiating a dazzling golden light.
With the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's boost, Dugu Yan moved like lightning.
In an instant, she arrived in front of Xue Luoge.
To catch the bandits, first catch their king. That much she understood!
"Third Soul Skill: Jade Phosphor Purple Poison!"
As soon as she spoke, Dugu Yan opened her mouth and spat out an incredibly dense cloud of poisonous mist.
The instant it touched the air, the mist began to spread rapidly!
Xue Luoge knitted her brows as four yellow, yellow, purple, purple Soul Rings appeared beneath her feet.
A huge pair of raptor wings sprouted from her back, and her feet transformed into talons.
She beat her wings and soared into the air.
She narrowly avoided the purple poison before her.
A little had accidentally touched her clothes, corroding a large hole in them and exposing the white lining beneath.
If the poisonous mist had truly engulfed her, the outcome was easy to imagine.
The other members of Heaven Dou Team One scattered as well.
The contempt they had felt for Yu Tianheng and the others vanished like smoke.
They put every ounce of attention into the fight and charged toward Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling in a pincer formation.
If a team lost its Auxiliary System Soul Masters,
then no matter how strong the remaining members were at fighting individually, they could not withstand a group assault.
"Sorry, this road is closed."
Just as the group came within three steps of Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling,
a figure suddenly blocked their path.
Fierce arcs of electricity crackled around Yu Tianheng.
Beneath his feet, four purple Soul Rings gradually appeared, each having reached nine thousand years in age.
At the same time, an immense pressure gradually spread out.
The members of Heaven Dou Team One felt as though a mountain had been placed on their shoulders.
Their movements began to slow.
Xue Luoge, who had been in the sky, was forced directly to one knee on the ground.
No matter how hard she tried, she could not get back up.
This was with Yu Tianheng deliberately holding back his power. Otherwise, the Thunder God Domain's suppression of Beast Martial Souls alone
could have made Xue Luoge's Soul Power flow backward, leaving her coughing up blood and severely injured.
"Captain, what do we do now?"
A burly man whose Martial Soul was a meteor hammer called out to Xue Luoge.
"Use that move! We can't hold anything back anymore. Take him down first!"
Xue Luoge gritted her teeth, every word coming out with great difficulty.
As soon as she spoke, the two team members in the center stopped holding back.
Something resembling shadows gradually spread out from their bodies.
It continued to spread in every direction.
"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
The corners of Yu Tianheng's mouth rose slightly. He had thought this match would be rather dull.
Now it seemed there was some fun to be had after all.
"What's going on? Why does it feel like Team One is on the back foot?"
"Seriously, who is this kid? He only looks thirteen or fourteen. Being a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor is one thing, but all four of his rings are Thousand-Year Soul Rings, and he can suppress seven people by himself?"
"Xue Luoge can't even move? Isn't that something only a Soul Emperor or someone stronger can do?"
"..."
The scene before them dealt a heavy blow to the watching students' understanding of the world.
Nothing Yu Tianheng had shown was consistent with common sense.
"Tian Heng, it looks like they're planning to trap you!"
Dugu Yan saw what the Soul Skill was up to and immediately shouted a warning to Yu Tianheng.
At the same time, she prepared to release a Soul Skill to stop them.
"It's all right, Yan Yan. This is a good chance to see just how strong our seniors are."
But to her surprise, Yu Tianheng waved a hand indifferently, signaling her not to move.
"Damn it, is this kid looking down on us?"
The burly man with the meteor hammer Martial Soul glared so hard his eyes seemed ready to split, the fury in them nearly bursting forth.
He had never seen anyone so arrogant in his life!
"Since he's so arrogant, let's make him pay for it!"
The effeminate man beside him finally showed a bit of a man's bearing, staring fixedly at Yu Tianheng.
"He's forced Team One to use even their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Shrouding the Heavens and Obscuring the Sun. Why not just let Yu Tianheng join Team One?"
"Don't you see it yet? I read Dugu Yan's records before. Her Martial Soul was clearly the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, but now it's a dragon. Add Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia, and the four of them have enough between their Martial Souls to crush Team One."
"If I'm not mistaken, Yu Tianheng seems to have reached level forty-nine, Dugu Yan is level thirty-eight, Ye Lingling is level thirty-six, and Ning Rongrong is level twenty-nine. The four of them aren't behind in level either; they're even a little higher overall."
"..."
Though they were reluctant to admit it, Team One, which several higher-ups had personally trained, truly could not compare with the four of them.
If Yu Tianheng and the others were now the same age as Team One,
there would have been no need for this match to start at all.
A moment later, a huge black cage trapped Yu Tianheng and all seven members of Team One inside.
Dugu Yan tried to blast the cage, but even at level thirty-eight, she could not leave a single mark on it.
"Give it up. This is our Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Shrouding the Heavens and Obscuring the Sun! Nothing short of a full-power strike from a Soul Master above level fifty can break it. You'll pay for your arrogance!"
The two team members using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill taunted Dugu Yan mercilessly.
"Rongrong, boost me again! I'm going to fight alongside Tian Heng!"
Dugu Yan called over her shoulder and prepared to release another Soul Skill.
"Yan Yan, don't rush. This cage is very strange. Even the healing from my Nine Heart Begonia can't get through it. What we need to do now is trust Tian Heng."
Seeing Dugu Yan's emotions beginning to get out of control, Ye Lingling hurried forward to calm her.
Yu Tianheng withdrew his Thunder God Domain and looked at the group with interest.
"You're done preparing, right? I hope your performance satisfies me."
The words pierced their hearts like a spear.
Their sense of humiliation reached its peak.
"First Soul Skill: Black and Yellow Heavy Armor! Third Soul Skill: Blazing Mountain Shatters the Heavens!"
The burly man swung his meteor hammer as a layer of rocklike armor formed over his skin.
He charged straight at Yu Tianheng.
"First Soul Skill: Tear!"
Xue Luoge likewise took a deep breath and stomped fiercely toward Yu Tianheng with her taloned feet.
At that moment, everyone present felt their hearts clench.
One was level forty-one, the other level thirty-eight. An assault of that degree-
even if Yu Tianheng was a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, could he really withstand it?
"First Soul Skill: Thunder Dragon Tyrant Body!"
