Brother Baby Was the One Who Turned the Tide in the End?!
Fortunately, Yan had already thawed Xie Yue and Hu Liena out. Xie Yue released his Martial Soul and held off two of the opposing male Battle Soul Masters by himself.
Hu Liena quickly used Charm and stopped two of the opposing Battle Soul Masters on her own as well.
Xu Wenqiang's team had as many as five Battle Soul Masters, while the remaining twin sisters were the team's Control System Soul Masters.
By using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Freeze Spread, they could control the entire arena.
Freeze Spread triggered a freezing effect that spread across the entire arena once every thirty seconds, affecting only enemies.
Xu Wenqiang's plan was to freeze the opposing team at the very start, then have his team's five Battle Soul Masters launch a surprise attack and try to clear every opponent off the stage.
But he hadn't expected Yan to thaw Xie Yue and Hu Liena out before leaving the stage.
The siblings had stopped four of his teammates, but Xu Wenqiang paid no attention to what was happening behind him.
He continued deeper into enemy territory and, with Martial Soul Possession active, easily knocked the frozen Miao Duoduo, Sai Kaka, and Luo Ya off the stage one after another.
Su Tanjie was completely dumbfounded.
"The match only just started, and Xie Yue and Hu Liena are the only ones left on the stage on this side?!"
Diyala looked serious, but a smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "Two? Are you sure?"
Su Tanjie froze for a moment and immediately rubbed his eyes. Only then did he exclaim in surprise, "Classmate Yiya... is still on the stage?!"
Just as Xu Wenqiang was feeling pleased with himself, he suddenly looked down and saw a baby sitting at his feet.
Lin Luo folded his arms and looked up at him expressionlessly.
Xu Wenqiang, however, was astonished.
That's where Sai Kaka was standing just now... Yiya wasn't frozen?! And he crawled down beforehand?
The ice had spread from the ground, freezing people from their feet upward, and Lin Luo, who had been riding on Sai Kaka's shoulders, hadn't been frozen at the start.
Lin Luo had also understood the opposing team's strategy, so he had quickly crawled down from Sai Kaka, avoiding being knocked off the stage along with him.
Now, he was the third member of his team still on the stage!
Facing the baby before him, Xu Wenqiang frowned deeply. Although he knew the baby might have a powerful background, this was a public match, and it was inevitable that fists and feet would strike without discrimination.
Besides, he didn't believe he would lose to a baby, even if the baby's talent far surpassed his own.
Xu Wenqiang's Martial Soul was the Mad Lion, one of the top Beast Martial Souls, and a source of pride for him.
"Off you go too, Yiya."
Xu Wenqiang looked down and spoke.
Lin Luo continued to look at him indifferently, unmoved.
Hu Liena was beside herself with anxiety.
She turned back at that moment and hurriedly shouted, "Brother!"
Xie Yue gritted his teeth. It was no exaggeration to say he was fighting three opponents by himself right now, and he had no attention to spare. After all, Hu Liena's actual combat ability wasn't particularly strong, and the siblings were already having some trouble dealing with the four remaining Battle Soul Masters.
"There's nothing we can do. His fate is in his own hands! Nana, watch out for the twins' freezing ability!"
As Xie Yue finished speaking, the Moon Blade in his hand clashed with the broadsword Martial Soul opposite him.
"Clang!"
He used his formidable Soul Power to force the broadsword back, then swung his blade backhanded and severed the tree thorns fired by another Soul Master.
Hu Liena supported him from the side with Charm the whole time.
Although the siblings had already worked together to take down one Soul Master, they still felt the despair of having incapable teammates.
With the strength of just the two of them, how could they possibly defeat the six opponents remaining?!
Seeing that the little one wouldn't cooperate, Xu Wenqiang snorted coldly, and his First Soul Ring lit up.
"First Soul Skill, Explosive Lion Palm!"
He knew the teachers would intervene if his opponent's life was in danger, so he went ahead and released his skill to avoid any complications from delay.
Diyala's feet did shift slightly at that moment, and he was ready to step in.
Use the one-time reward, Martial Soul Simulation: Flame Tiger.
Use the one-time reward, Card Skill: Fireball Technique.
Lin Luo spoke in his heart at once.
The moment Xu Wenqiang's Mad Lion Martial Soul appeared, a Flame Tiger Martial Soul likewise emerged behind Lin Luo.
"Roar-"
"Awooo-"
Lion and tiger faced each other, their furious roars vying for dominance.
But Xu Wenqiang's Mad Lion Martial Soul was instantly overshadowed. After all, he had one ring, while Lin Luo had two!
The phantom of a lion's paw swiftly covered Xu Wenqiang's right arm, and its long, sharp claws descended toward Lin Luo's head. But just then, a fireball larger than his head shot toward him.
Xu Wenqiang immediately raised his arm to block. A shower of sparks burst across his chest, and he quickly retreated several steps.
What a garbage Fireball Technique. Even a One-Ring Soul Master can block it. These one-time rewards really are all garbage.
Lin Luo grumbled inwardly.
But the sight had already shocked Mailun.
The young student Yiya, who wouldn't even show his Martial Soul during regular training, had actually released it at a crucial moment-and used a skill for the first time!
The young student Yiya really can be counted on when it matters!
Seeing this, Xie Yue immediately grew excited, confidence welling up within him. "Nana, Brother Baby's getting serious! Let's stop dragging this out and use our big move too!"
Clutching his chest, Xu Wenqiang immediately turned to the twin sisters behind him. "Don't let them use Martial Soul Fusion!"
Blue light flickered, and cold spread.
"Crack, crack, crack-"
The ice on the ground spread toward them once more, while Hu Liena immediately rushed toward Xie Yue.
Watching the ice about to spread over and the Xie siblings attempting Martial Soul Fusion, Lin Luo quickly sifted through his stock of rewards.
Use the one-time reward, Card Skill: Fireball Technique.
Use the one-time reward, Effect Enhancement.
There was no helping it. This Fireball Technique didn't do any damage, so Lin Luo could only enhance it further.
Xu Wenqiang had already gritted his teeth and turned his gaze back to Lin Luo. His remaining Soul Power was enough to support one more use of his First Soul Skill. Victory or defeat hinged on this one move!
"First Soul Skill, Explosive Lion Palm!"
The Mad Lion roared behind him, its golden mane whipping wildly in the wind. Xu Wenqiang charged forward, only for a searing red light to flare before him.
Fierce flames swept out from where Lin Luo stood. "Boom!" Utterly unable to resist, Xu Wenqiang was blasted away by the flames and landed beyond the stage, covered in soot.
The ice spreading toward them was also engulfed in the firelight and melted rapidly, advancing no farther. As a result, Xie Yue and Hu Liena successfully performed Martial Soul Fusion!
Yan was dumbfounded.
He leaped up in wild delight. "Brother Baby is fucking awesome!!!"
Miao Duoduo, Luo Ya, and Sai Kaka stared in stunned silence. They hadn't expected the one to turn the tide at the end to be Brother Baby, who wouldn't even release his Martial Soul during training!
"Brother Baby is fucking awesome!!!"
Miao Duoduo dropped to his knees below the stage and shouted.
Even after enhancement, it only seems to have reached the strength of a three-ring Soul Elder... One-time rewards really are garbage.
Lin Luo continued to grumble, paying no attention to the changed expressions of the onlookers.
Diyala excitedly slapped the table. "I told you he was the one I had high hopes for!"
Lan Yang, did you know your cousin's grandson was this formidable?!
