Pseudo · Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment
After the first half of the semifinals concluded, the second half of the semifinals began in the afternoon.
Sun Moon Team vs. Di'ao Team.
It is also a best-of-three format, starting with a team battle.
"Should we proceed according to plan?" Xiao Hongchen asked Bao Liang before stepping onto the arena.
"Whatever," Bao Liang shrugged. "Ji Juechen said he wanted to save his strength for a duel with Shrek, and Sister Meng also said she didn't want to bully anyone."
Xiao Hongchen thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true. Now that you're in the ring, tactics don't matter anymore."
The two then exchanged a smile, and the other five couldn't help but chuckle as well.
Neither Ji Juechen nor Meng Hongchen played in this team battle.
The moment Bao Liang appeared on the stage, all the tactical arrangements became meaningless.
So, this match really did happen however they wanted.
No tactics, no command, just have fun playing.
Therefore, before the competition, everyone changed their Soul Tool to the ranged attack type, and brought as many as they could to ensure maximum firepower output.
I didn't even think about defense; I just wanted to have fun fighting.
As genius Soul Engineer of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, almost every one of Xiao Hongchen and his classmates knows the most basic Soul Tool Turret Tactic of Sun Moon.
At the same time, there are countless Soul Tool Soul Tool are full of martial virtue and are suitable for all soul tool tactics.
After all, aside from Bao Liang and Ji Juechen, which Soul Engineer doesn't have several sets of Soul Tool Soul Tool to different tactics?
If you don't have that, you really won't even know how you died when you get outside.
The Sun Moon Team was in high spirits, but the seven members of the Di'ao Academy were all wearing masks of pain.
Are you kidding me! We're Bao Liang? Really?
Is it too late to surrender now?
As soon as the match began, seven steel fortresses were erected on the arena.
Xiao Hongchen and his group completely ignored the seven people from the Di'ao Academy and began assembling the turrets.
Bao Liang raised his hand and waved it, instantly creating walls of fire formed by Ultimate Flame that trapped the seven students from the Di'ao Academy in place.
"Self-Created Soul Skill, Uchiha Flame Formation."
"Damn! Are you kidding me?!"
Jiang Peng was completely dumbfounded.
What the hell is this? A one-shot, instant crowd control ability with no cast time? And it's even Self-Created Soul Skill?
What else is there to say? Here you go.
Of course, it's impossible to give it to them.
If I were to give up like this, I might end up being shot seven times in the back and committing suicide when I get back to China.
Don't talk nonsense about that kind of thing!
Wait... why did I say "also"?
Forget it! Let's get out of this mess first!
Jiang Peng summoned his Martial Soul, the Heaven-Shaking Axe, and used it to cleave the Flame Formation with all his might, breaking free.
But upon closer inspection, he realized that his six teammates were still trapped in the Flame Formation, acting like incompetent bots.
Meanwhile, the opposing Sun Moon Team's hand speed was ridiculously fast; in such a short time Soul Tool Turret was almost fully assembled.
Still six stations!
Seeing the way the people opposite him were looking at discounted eggs at the supermarket, Jiang Peng couldn't help but feel a tightness in his anus.
After quickly assessing the situation, Jiang Peng realized that he had no time to help his teammates.
Before he can even rescue his teammates, the Sun Moon Team's turrets might start firing in unison.
Therefore, he had no choice but to abandon his teammates and instead attack the Sun Moon Team directly.
We might even be able to disrupt their turret assembly, forcing them into close combat.
As is widely known, Soul Engineer are all physically weak and suave.
As long as he can get close, he can beat those weak Soul Engineer on the other side to their knees!
"First Soul Skill: Weight Increase; Second Soul Skill: Gravity Increase; Third Soul Skill: Multiplication Power; Fourth Soul Skill: Axe Soul Awakening!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Heaven-Dominating Axe!!!"
Jiang Peng went all out, and with his four-fold amplified Soul Skill, his shirt instantly ripped into countless shreds, revealing his steel-like muscles.
He shouldered his Martial Soul Heaven-Shaking Axe, let out a loud shout, and charged towards Bao Liang with his Sixth Soul Skill activated.
"Hey Babar over there! Don't hide! Come at my axe!"
When Bao Liang saw that Jiang Peng was advancing instead of retreating, he instantly perked up.
"Oh ho! You dare to provoke me?!"
Bao Liang instantly stood up and used his Second Soul Skill, Molten Fire Thousandfold Forging, to create a uniquely shaped greatsword by combining various metals.
The hilt appears to be composed of two black, futuristic dual pistols that have transformed, extended, and connected. While retaining a rich mechanical texture, the hilt is adorned with white and gold patterns, and a red core inside continuously emits high temperatures.
The sword has no solid metal blade; instead, it is formed by highly concentrated, intensely Lie Yan, like molten gold, rising into the sky.
The Lie Yan displayed a dazzling blend of crimson and golden hues, as if holding the light of a star bursting forth at the moment of its demise in the palm of one's hand.
As the greatsword took shape, it instantly emanated a suffocating aura.
The heat emanating from the sword even distorted the surrounding space, and a scorching atmosphere filled the air.
Fake Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment!
"You are the second person, besides Ji Juechen, to dare to confront me directly."
"For your courage alone, I Bao Liang you."
Come on! Face me!
Jiang Peng looked at the greatsword formed from Lie Yan in Bao Liang's hand and felt a chill run down his spine.
What is that thing?
Soul Tool?
It doesn't seem like it.
Soul Tool require the inscription of magic arrays and the injection of Soul Power; they cannot be formed instantly.
Martial Soul?
It doesn't seem like it.
Martial Soul is an innate ability of Soul Master; it is impossible for a soul master to change its form out of thin air.
But the terrifying heat emanating from that greatsword, the heat wave strong enough to melt metal and stone, made Jiang Peng feel a shiver from the depths of his soul.
"What... what kind of Soul Skill is this?!"
Jiang Peng gritted his teeth, but did not back down.
He is Jiang Peng, the number one student of the Di'ao Academy of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Soul Emperor, possessing the Heaven-Shaking Axe Martial Soul, and known as one of the strongest Soul Master of the younger generation in the Heavenly Soul Empire.
How could he possibly lose in terms of sheer presence to a Soul Engineer from the Sun Moon Empire?
"Who cares, let's just do it!"
"Heaven-Dominating Axe, unleash its full power!"
He roared and raised the Heaven-Shaking Axe high in his hand. Six Soul Ring revolved around him, and the Sixth Soul Ring —that black Soul Ring— shone with a dazzling light.
On the axe, earthen-yellow Soul Power surged wildly, forming a huge axe shadow ten feet long.
This single axe stroke is enough to split mountains and cleave seas!
"Good timing!"
A glint flashed in Bao Liang's eyes, and he raised the Heavenly Fire Greatsword high in his hand.
There were no fancy moves used; it was just the simplest and most direct sword strike.
The Lie Yan sword energy, interwoven with crimson and golden hues, roared like a fire Fire Dragon as it crashed towards Jiang Peng's axe shadow.
"Boom--!"
The moment the two forces collided, the entire Soul Fighting Arena trembled violently.
A violent surge of energy swept outwards, and the spectators in the stands felt a wave of heat wash over them, quickly raising their hands to protect their faces.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Jiang Peng felt an immense force surge through him, nearly causing the Heaven-Shaking Axe in his hand to fly out of his grasp.
He retreated three steps, each step leaving a deep footprint on the Soul Fighting platform. His face was flushed, clearly indicating that he was under immense pressure.
"Such immense power!"
He looked at Bao Liang in shock.
This boy, who looks only twelve or thirteen years old, actually possesses physical strength that is in no way inferior to that of Soul Emperor?
"This guy is twelve years old?!"
"What the hell! You bastard!"
