Even if Huo Yuhao doesn't make a move, his simulated soul skills alone are enough to scare people half to death.
The six 100,000-year spirit rings in the first match were a huge upset!
When both sides began to enter the arena, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stood quietly at the back, with six blood-red spirit rings appearing on their bodies!
Su Yu, He Caitou, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan stood in front, with Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi in front, He Caitou behind, Jiang Nannan to He Caitou's right, and Su Yu to He Caitou's left.
Without a doubt, it is He Caitou who needs help, because although He Caitou's burst damage is powerful, once he gets close, he may be instantly killed by the opponent's Soul King.
The formation of the opposing Thousand Spirits Academy was much more normal, with four defensive Soul Masters in the front row, one ice-attribute control Soul Master who practiced mimicry, one fire-attribute control Soul Master in the back, plus the captain of the Thousand Machine Spear.
The core strategy on the other side is actually quite simple: once you take out those three, the remaining four defensive units are basically just there to take a beating.
To put it simply, the formation that Qianling Academy was currently displaying could be described as: four shields combined to form an impregnable fortress, and ice and fire controlling the Thousand-Strike Spear.
Among them, the four tall members at the front are named Yang Ming, Song Hu, Bai Chen, and Ye Mao. According to Wang Yan's deduction, these four members should be from the same sect, that is, they belong to the same sect, because their martial spirits are exactly the same, the defensive Spirit Rhinoceros Shield, a mid-to-high-grade defensive martial spirit.
Anyway, their martial spirits are no match for Xu Sanshi's. If Xu Sanshi were to truly unleash his power, breaking through the defenses of the four opponents by himself would be no problem at all, but frankly, it's unnecessary.
The captain of the Thousand Spirits team behind them, as cold and hard as a javelin, is named Shen Ce. He is the true core and main attacker of their team, and his martial spirit is the Thousand Strike Spear, which is proficient in both close and long-range attacks.
I don't know if I can even hold my own against Shen Ce. Let me test whether I have the strength to withstand a Soul King. After all, I didn't use all my strength when I fought Chen Zifeng. But even though Chen Zifeng could only use one or two Soul Skills, his strength was definitely at the Soul Master level.
If he could defeat Chen Zifeng, then he could definitely defeat everyone except Shen Ce.
As expected, Shen Ce was immediately amplified by Fei Yu Yan. Thick bluish-white flames appeared on the Thousand Machine Spear, mixed with a deep tiger roar. Huo Yuhao had already begun to use his mental detection sharing, mental interference, and mental impact.
Su Yu leaped up from Shrek Academy's side, and under everyone's gaze, countless fragments appeared continuously. While Shen Ce was still receiving amplification, Su Yu, with the help of the soul tool and the mirror transfer granted by the fragmented martial soul after absorbing the soul bone, directly charged into the enemy's camp.
"What is Su Yu trying to do? He, a Soul Master, is charging straight into a group of seven people. Isn't that just suicide?"
Wang Dong, who was standing at the back to hold the line, was a little anxious. Looking at Su Yu, who had already bypassed the Lingxi Shield Formation, Wang Dong couldn't help but want to make a move, but he was stopped by the others.
In fact, not only the Shrek Academy students were confused, but the seven students from Thousand Spirits Academy were also confused. In their eyes, they only saw a figure flashing one after another, appearing in front of Shen Ce in just a few seconds.
"Who is this? How can he be so fast? Don't let him get close to the captain!"
An Lengye instantly realized that something was wrong. Once Su Yu interrupted Shen Ce's prepared attack, they would never have another chance to increase their strength.
"How could you possibly be that fast?" Even Shen Ce was full of surprise, staring at the boy who appeared in front of him like a ghost.
"Senior Brother, prepare to attack!"
Su Yu informed everyone through the communication device. After receiving the message, everyone quickly took action, and Xu Sanshi swiftly set up the Xuanming Shield.
Amidst a series of metallic crackling sounds, a circular base formed beneath He Caitou's feet, completely encasing his legs and obscuring them from view.
Numerous metal cannon barrels kept appearing on He Caitou's body. Perhaps influenced by Su, he even had a two-meter-long modified fixed soul-guided cannon on his shoulder.
In terms of sheer awe, this display was definitely more impressive than Situ Yu's back then. When He Caitou was smoking a cigar, everyone could clearly feel the incredibly kind smile on his face.
"A Mirror of Illusion!"
An Lengye's mimicry martial soul couldn't reach Su Yu at all, and for a moment, Su Yu completely disrupted their tactics. Even Fei Yuyan, who wanted to help, couldn't make a move because the two were too close.
Where did this guy come from?
The same thought popped into everyone's mind at Qianling Academy. However, the next moment, Su Yu's third soul ring lit up, and a black mirror with a void-like appearance appeared. In the mirror, a black hole-like vortex was constantly rotating, seemingly about to devour everything.
Seeing that the situation was unclear, Shen Ce, who was holding the Thousand Machine Spear, had no choice but to take action. If he did not, he was very likely to be ambushed by Su Yu's strange soul skill.
"Go!" A low shout came from Shen Ce's mouth. He raised his hands and the Thousand Strike Spear, which was flashing with a bluish-white light, was about to be fired.
Just then, a white mark appeared on Su Yu's body. The mark was a cross, located right in the center of his chest.
"Come on, come on, do you think I'm afraid of you!"
A level four defensive soul tool instantly appeared behind Su Yu, and countless fragments, under Su Yu's control, transformed into a shield that floated in front of him.
The next instant, the Thousand Machine Spear left his hand and charged fiercely towards Su Yu. The Thousand Machine Spear, which had been charging for a long time, was originally intended to be aimed at the opposing captain, but now, because of the appearance of this strange guy Su Yu, he had to change his strategy and take down as many as he could!
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, whether it was the students from Thousand Spirits Academy on the field, Shrek Academy's teammates, or the spectators who could clearly see everything on the field, even His Majesty the Emperor, everyone's eyes widened at that moment.
A three-ring Soul Master dared to attack a five-ring Soul King. Could he withstand this attack?
Su Yu's appearance was already surprising enough. A Soul Master with three rings had bypassed the defenses of the four opponents without any warning. If Su Yu was strong enough, the defenses of Thousand Spirits Academy would be nothing but a formality in his eyes!
Just as the Thousand Machine Spear was about to strike Su Yu, a pitch-black mirror appeared in front of Su Yu, and the Thousand Machine Spear rushed directly into the black hole-like vortex in the mirror.
And just like that, everything came to an end quietly!
One second, two seconds...
Nearly a minute passed, and the mirror still showed no movement, remaining steadily floating in the air.
Just then, thunderous applause erupted from the long-silent stands. This performance once again brought them a new visual feast. The three-ring Soul Master was completely unharmed under the full force of the five-ring Soul King!
"Shrek, Shrek..."
A deafening roar of cheers erupted on the field. This time, Su Yu once again brought a new shock to the group. Not only were the people from Thousand Spirits Academy dumbfounded, but even the Shrek Academy students were stunned.
Su stared wide-eyed in disbelief. His original plan was to reflect some of the damage back to the two ice and fire attribute soul masters on the other side if he failed, so that at least four people could surround and attack Shen Ce.
To Su's utter surprise, he actually managed to neutralize Shen Ce's attack. He had thought that while the Mirror of Illusion might have a chance of neutralizing an attack from someone stronger than himself, the chance was probably similar to a lottery. But to his surprise, he had actually won!
"Holy crap, what are you all standing there for? Let's do it!"
Without wasting words, Su Yu immediately activated his first soul skill, quickly creating distance between himself and Shen Ce. Two energy-gathering soul cannons instantly appeared on Su Yu's shoulders, and the two cannonballs instantly locked onto the four Spirit Rhinoceros Shield Soul Masters who were defending the front with all their might.
"Jiang Nannan, you take care of the fire-attribute one. Xu Sanshi, switch the ice-attribute one with me. You and I will team up to deal with their captain. Bei Bei and Big Brother, the remaining four are yours."
Two cannonballs were fired, and Su Yu's figure disappeared again. Just as Shen Ce was about to make another move, a black mist appeared, and two Su Yus appeared beside Shen Ce. The four energy-gathering soul-guided cannons burst out with dazzling white light and instantly locked onto Shen Ce.
Although Qianling Academy's tactics were not bad, they had a fatal flaw: they were extremely passive at the beginning and could not put pressure on their opponents.
Without Shen Ce, all the problems would be solved. Even if we couldn't deal with Shen Ce, as long as we quickly dealt with those two control-type soul masters, we would still be able to easily defeat them!
What is this? This is strategy! A single main carry trying to carry the whole game?
Are you fucking kidding me?
It has to be said that An Lengye is a tough opponent; her fourth spirit ring suddenly shone brightly.
The Frost Bear roared suddenly, unleashing a burst of intense cold. An Lengye's long blue hair turned white, and even her eyes became an icy white filled with coldness.
The cold wind in the air instantly transformed into a huge frost tornado, sweeping outwards, and the direction the tornado was pointing was precisely at Su Yu.
But in the next instant, An Lengye appeared in front of He Caitou, who was unleashing his full power, while Xu Sanshi appeared where An Lengye could have been.
In that instant, sixty-three of the sixty-four attack soul tools on He Caitou's body flashed, turning him into a blazing sun.
Fear of death is a human instinct, and An Lengye was no exception. In an instant, the frost tornado lost control and affected the four people who were defending with all their might. Coincidentally, Su Yu's two soul-guided cannon shots earlier had created some gaps in the defense.
In just a few seconds, Qianling Academy was instantly put on the defensive. Bei Bei was doing her best to suppress the four defenders, while Shen Ce was being held back by Su Yu and Xu Sanshi and was locked in a fierce battle. Jiang Nannan also took advantage of the chaos to circle around to Fei Yuyan's vicinity.
A seemingly impenetrable defense was thrown into chaos by Su Yu alone.
Then, after a loud roar, An Lengye, still seriously injured, was taken off the stage by the referee. Fei Yuyan couldn't keep up with Jiang Nannan's speed at all, and was grabbed by the neck by Jiang Nannan and thrown off the stage.
He Caitou's powerful burst of energy also disrupted the already chaotic Lingxi Shield team of four. After a round of bursts, Su Yu's side was not greatly depleted, but the most important control-type Soul Master had been sent down by the two on Su Yu's side.
"This kid looks so familiar, isn't he the Su family's kid?" Even the emperor of the Star Luo Empire stood up in surprise as he looked at the familiar figure on the field.
The minister standing to the side also stared wide-eyed, speechless with surprise. In his memory, the Su family's boy only had a fifth-level innate soul power. Even if he entered Shrek Academy, he could not have grown like this!
However, the facts were undeniable. Neither His Majesty the Emperor, seated at the head of the table, nor the assembled ministers could believe that this was actually a member of the Su family.
"Is this the strength he's so proud of? Well then, this princess looks forward to seeing how you perform!" Xu Jiujiu, standing to the side, also covered her red lips in surprise, her shock no less than that of the others.
In terms of familiarity, among all the nobles of the Star Luo Imperial Capital, only Xu Jiujiu, who had become an auctioneer at the Starlight Auction House, was familiar with Su Yu. However, in her impression, Su Yu had always been a rich second-generation with no outstanding qualities.
Who could have imagined that someone could withstand a blow from Shen Ce, a Soul Emperor with six rings, all by themselves today, without a scratch? Not to mention the people present, even all the current participants would find it impossible!
boom!
A loud crash rang out as the Thousand Machine Spear slammed into Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Shield, the immense impact causing cracks to appear in the arena floor.
Two Su Yus attacked simultaneously, and countless fragments gathered in Su Yu's hands. Just after Shen Ce attacked and repelled Xu Sanshi, Su Yu took advantage of the gap and teleported behind Shen Ce. The two figures, whose true identities were indistinguishable, raised their heavy swords and slashed at Shen Ce's back!
clang!
Another piercing, resounding tremor rang out, and Shen Ce's sharp Thousand Machine Spear swung around, sending two figures flying simultaneously.
Shen Ce knew that everything was thanks to the kid with the Mirror Martial Soul in front of him. As long as he was seriously injured, Shrek Academy's combat power would be greatly reduced. Since I can't advance now, I'll make sure you can't make a move anymore.
The powerful Thousand Machine Spear once again erupted with dazzling light. The moment Su Yu was blasted away, his clone was completely shattered by the Thousand Machine Spear, and Su Yu was now completely exposed to Shen Ce.
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!" Shen Ce was filled with rage. His two strongest opponents hadn't even made a move, and yet he had been defeated by this three-ring Soul Master. What he wanted to do now was to cripple this guy with a full-force attack.
The expressions of everyone on the field changed drastically. They knew that it was already unexpected that Su Yu could withstand one attack, and even if Su Yu was strong, he could not withstand a second attack.
"Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you!" Su Yu's voice resounded across the arena, instantly igniting the previously tense atmosphere.
The crowd in the arena was chanting Shrek's name. Not only that, but His Majesty the Emperor and everyone else instantly focused their attention on Su Yu.
A mirror of illusion!
A purple light emanated from the third spirit ring beneath Su Yu's feet, and a black mirror resembling the void appeared. Within the mirror, a black hole-like vortex spun continuously. This time, this illusory mirror was infused with most of Su Yu's spirit power.
"It's that move again. What kind of monster is this guy?" Ma Rulong from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy frowned slightly. He knew that even for them, it wouldn't be easy to withstand Shen Ce's full-force attack back then, but this Shrek student actually neutralized that attack without a scratch, without even the slightest backlash.
In an instant, the intense black light distorted everyone's vision, and the air began to twist under Shen Ce's attack. As the Thousand Machine Spear drew closer, Su Yu felt the pressure growing heavier.
The Mirror of Illusion, which was originally only two meters high and one meter wide, expanded again, becoming at least twice its original size. The enormous mirror was as dark as night, and the vortex inside was spinning rapidly like a black hole.
When the Thousand Machine Spear was swallowed up by the Mirror of Illusion once again, the entire mirror trembled violently, and Su Yu could clearly feel his soul power rapidly draining away.
This attack was too powerful; the Mirror of Illusion was nearing its limit!
Click...
A series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds rang out, and the enormous Mirror of Illusion finally shattered. Su Yu, who was flying in the air, also spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned extremely pale, and his breathing began to become disordered.
But is that the end of it?
No, after the Mirror of Illusion shattered, the Thousand-Machine Spear reappeared in the air and continued flying towards where Su Yu was.
"town!"
Su Yu did not back down. He clapped his hands together, and countless fragments quickly gathered together. A huge longsword appeared above Shen Ce's head. Looking at that giant sword, it was just like the Sword of Damocles, directly locking onto the place where Shen Ce was.
Just as the Thousand Machine Spear was about to hit Su Yu, Su Yu used Mirror Shift again to avoid the spear's pursuit, but the violent impact of the explosion still caused Su Yu some injuries.
However, at the same time, the giant sword that had been hovering above Shen Ce's head also crashed down. The giant sword was like a divine punishment, directly knocking Shen Ce down. In an instant, the two of them fell to the ground together.
However, although Shen Ce was in a sorry state, his injuries were not as serious as Su Yu's. Just as he was about to attack Su Yu again, the others quickly arrived and dealt with the remaining four people from Qianling Academy.
