Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

Chapter 128 With such a move, could they be hiding two more?

Because of the protection of the soul tool, Xu Jiujiu could not directly feel the damage from this mental attack.

However, the 30% of her soul power that was drained from her body by the defensive soul tool allowed her to understand the power of the attack in another way.

As a princess, the soul tool she wore for a long time was naturally not an ordinary item.

Although this soul tool, designed specifically to defend against mental attacks, is a level 5 soul tool, it was made by an level 8 soul master from the Sun Moon Empire.

Its internal complexity and exquisite craftsmanship are comparable to a level 6 soul tool, and its price of 250,000 gold soul coins is almost three times that of an ordinary level 5 soul tool.

Even so, she still lost 30% of her soul power. She could hardly imagine that if she hadn't had the protection of her soul tool, she might have been eliminated.

wrong!

Xu Jiujiu suddenly realized something: Could Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong have launched seven such mental attacks at once?

Xu Jiujiu quickly turned his gaze to his teammates, and the first thing that caught his eye was Ma Xiaotao, who had transformed into a fire phoenix in the sky and was falling towards the Yellow River Cloud.

She then remembered that she had just planned to use the absolute defense soul tool to trap Ma Xiaotao.

However, the sudden mental attack made her instinctively raise her arm to block, thus missing this excellent opportunity.

Looking down, Xu Jiujiu immediately noticed Huang Heyun standing there blankly, without any defensive stance.

He wasn't the only one looking like that; there were six of them in total!

Whether it was the team members fighting head-on against the opponent, or Wang Yichen and Wang Shiying who were controlling the situation from a distance, none of them were exceptions.

Are you kidding me! To unleash such a powerful soul skill on seven people at the same time!

Xu Jiujiu knew that they had lost the game; such a huge flaw was enough to eliminate everyone.

Seeing that the situation was turning against them, Xu Jiujiu immediately shouted, "We surrender!"

Even if you lose a team battle, there are still 2-2-3 matches and individual matches to follow, so preserving your strength is very important.

The other six were clearly under control. It would be the most foolish thing to do if they didn't admit defeat in time and instead waited until they were injured by Shrek's people and then asked the referee for help.

As soon as she finished speaking, the titled Douluo who was acting as the referee immediately took action. Unfortunately, even though he was a titled Douluo, there were four people fighting him head-on.

The referee ultimately only managed to save Huang Heyun and Sheng Yi, who were closest to him. Dugu Shangshan and Chen Xiaojie, who were left behind, were attacked by Ling Luochen and Xixi respectively.

Although Xu Jiujiu conceded defeat immediately, none of the fighters present were ordinary Soul Masters; each of them possessed exceptional skills.

As an agility-type Soul Master, Xixi could defeat Chen Xiaojie, who was in a daze, in an instant.

Ling Luochen and Dugu Shangshan were locked in close combat when, upon hearing Xu Jiujiu's voice, it was too late to retract the gun in his hand.

However, Ling Luochen reacted quickly, pulling back just as the spear tip pierced his waist and abdomen, so that the spearhead only went in halfway.

If she hadn't held back, this strike could have pierced through Dugu Shangshan's body.

Even though Dugu Shangshan was under the influence of his Martial Soul and multiple enhanced Soul Skills, the Soul Tool that Xian Lin'er chose for Ling Luochen was naturally extraordinary.

Logically, a soul tool with ice attributes that matched Ling Luochen's martial soul should have been chosen, but unfortunately, this was a special case. Under the suppression of the Crimson Sun Eye, the ice attribute could not take effect.

Without considering whether it suits her own ice attribute, Xianlin'er directly focused on the ultimate physical destructive power, which led to the current situation.

Ling Luochen drew his spear, splattering blood everywhere. Looking at Dugu Shangshan, whose expression remained blank, he couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

This type of mental attack, which tends to be controlling, will automatically awaken the user due to intense pain after the body is attacked. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is clearly an exception.

Ling Luochen knew all too well how powerful this spear was; it possessed a variety of special attributes.

One of the attributes, called Sharpness, leaves behind Sharpness Power while inflicting injuries, causing continuous secondary damage to the body.

Not only does it make wounds harder to heal, but it also greatly increases pain. Just from the description, you can tell that this is a very powerful attribute.

Even so, her opponent remained trapped in mental control and could not break free on his own, further demonstrating the power of this Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Ling Luochen swept the gun to the right with one hand, flicking the blood off the tip. Looking at the gleaming gun barrel, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. "What a fine gun."

The referee arrived at this moment and took Dugu Shangshan and Chen Xiaojie, who had been knocked unconscious, off the stage.

With Huo Yuhao's mental detection, Xixi's speed was astonishing, even faster than Ma Xiaotao's. By the time Xu Jiujiu shouted that she was giving up, her attack had already landed on Chen Xiaojie.

Chen Xiaojie was seriously injured, and that was even without Xixi aiming at his vital points. If she had aimed at a spot like his forehead, Chen Xiaojie would have been dead without a doubt.

"In the first semi-final team battle, Shrek Academy emerged victorious. Now, we move on to the first team battle of the 2-2-3 format. Team members, please prepare yourselves."

This is the competition after the semi-finals. Every match will be played consecutively without any rest time.

"Twin Martial Souls! That Wang Dong actually has twin Martial Souls, just like Huo Yuhao. Isn't it said that such geniuses only appear once every few hundred years in the Douluo Continent?"

Having witnessed the entire event, Xiao Hongchen braced his hands on the railing, his expression shifting from shock to bewilderment.

"Shrek Academy has two twin martial souls, which only happens once every few hundred years. My dear brother, don't worry about Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice."

You might not even be able to beat Wang Dong, who has twin martial souls. Don't set your sights on Huo Yuhao, or you'll just get used as a ten-year-old soul beast by Wang Dong.

Seeing Xiao Hongchen's dazed look, Meng Hongchen continued to dutifully put pressure on her older brother.

However, Meng Hongchen did not receive a counterattack from Xiao Hongchen this time. Turning her head, she found that the latter was staring intently at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong as they stepped off the stage, his eyes dark and unreadable.

"No way, Xiao, you're not really scared, are you? This isn't like you. It's just a pair of martial souls, right? Your Three-Legged Golden Toad is a genuine top-tier martial soul."

Meng Hongchen's tone carried a hint of concern. Although she enjoyed making her older brother suffer, she didn't want to see Xiao Zhen's Dao heart shattered.

"Afraid? I, Xiao Hongchen, would never be afraid in my life!" Xiao Hongchen caught the concern in his younger sister's words, and immediately smiled disdainfully, regaining his confident demeanor.

"I was just thinking about the spirit fusion skill. Their previous spirit fusion skills were Huo Yuhao's Ice Jade Scorpion and Wang Dong's Butterfly Spirit."

This time, however, it's all their other two martial souls. Following this logic, with four martial souls, added together in pairs... Dream, do you understand what I mean?

Xiao Hongchen's expression turned solemn. Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen instantly realized what was happening, her hands clenching instinctively, her face filled with shock.

"You mean, they have two more Spirit Fusion Techniques! When did Spirit Fusion Techniques become such a common thing?"

The probability of their two martial souls being compatible is even lower than that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. The fact that they are all paired up is beyond rare.

The soul beast embryo you bought might not even have a situation as special as theirs.

"Yes, not only that, their Martial Soul Fusion Technique is also incredibly powerful."

"With such low cultivation level, they can actually control six Soul Kings simultaneously, and with such strong control. This is even more powerful than their previous Martial Soul Fusion Technique."

"Haha, actually I was just kidding you. You'd better not go deliver the vegetables. These two are like stars scattered across the sky when they're apart, and like a blazing inferno when they're together!"

Meng Hongchen said weakly that she was really at her wit's end; there was no way to play like this.

She originally thought that she and Xiao's talents were already top-notch enough, and that they could even combine to unleash a martial soul fusion skill, which was simply a blessing from heaven.

But now, not only have two people with even more terrifying talent appeared, but they can also unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and the key is that their power is even greater than theirs.

This is practically cheating!

She had seen others left far behind by her, but she never imagined that she herself would become the one about to be left behind.

"Can't you have any ambition at all!" Xiao Hongchen glanced at Meng Hongchen, his face both speechless and helpless.

"Then you'd better work hard. I'll be waiting for you to protect me." Meng Hongchen scoffed, saying nonchalantly.

She can accept being bad at cooking without feeling guilty; she's experienced the feeling of being outdone since she was a child, thanks to Xiao.

Now, two more, two more, it's fine.

It's not that she doesn't want to work hard, it's just that her opponent is too unbeatable. Their lower limit is her upper limit. Wouldn't it be foolish to keep fighting and refuse to surrender?

Xu Jiujiu looked helpless in the audience, and the other team members were also demoralized, so it's no wonder they were like this.

Chen Xiaojie is seriously injured and unconscious and cannot play. Dugu Shangshan's injuries are also not light. Even if he manages to play, his strength will be greatly reduced, and he can only be said to have just passed the Soul King level.

Only two control-type Soul Kings, one offensive-type and one defensive-type Soul King, and Xu Jiujiu, who still had normal strength, remained in the team.

After much deliberation, it was finally decided that Huang Heyun, who was an offensive player, and Wang Yichen, who was a control player, would have the first two-person battle, while she and the other two would have the final three-person battle. The second round would be a direct surrender.

In other words, Huang Heyun and Wang Yichen must secure their first victory, otherwise they will undoubtedly lose.

Then, the two who entered the arena encountered Soul Emperor Ma Xiaotao and He Caitou. After He Caitou bombarded Wang Yichen from a distance and Ma Xiaotao decisively defeated Huang Heyun, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu, who had been watching the battle, knew that they were powerless to turn the tide.

The star power stored in the Star Crown was almost exhausted, enough for her to unleash a few minor soul skills; Star Guardian was out of the question.

After watching Sheng Yi and Wang Shiying enter the arena for a long time, and seeing Ling Luochen and Xixi sent by Shrek Academy, she secretly shook her head, the outcome was obvious.

The defensive Saint Wing was already helpless against Xixi, and with Ling Luochen's ice control, he could only watch helplessly as Wang Shiying was eliminated, and in the end, he was also sent off the stage by the two of them.

"In the semi-finals, Shrek Academy faced off against Star Luo Royal Academy, and Shrek Academy emerged victorious!"

As the referee's announcement faded, the audience erupted in cheers.

Even though it was their own empire's royal academy that suffered the defeat, they felt no negative emotions whatsoever, only that it was only natural.

Shrek Academy should have won, shouldn't they? They've been winning for ten thousand years.

Upon returning to the waiting area, everyone received congratulations from Xiao Xiao and Ning Tianwufeng.

In addition, there was Wang Yan, whose face was flushed with excitement, looking at Huo Yuhao and the other seven, and saying things like "You guys are great".

It's normal for Wang Yan to react this way, after all, the Star Luo Royal Academy is a genuine team of all Soul Kings, and each of them is no weakling.

This was also their first time facing the All-Soul King team.

Even knowing that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong possessed powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skills, it was impossible not to worry given the absolute difference in their average cultivation levels.

"The finals are coming up soon, I'm so nervous!"

Hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Wu Feng found it somewhat amusing, "You don't even have to go on stage, yet you're getting nervous."

"I'm only nervous when I'm not playing! I'm not so nervous when I'm playing and show my skills." Xiao Xiao raised her little fist and said with a soft hum.

"How about you play in the finals?" Ma Xiaotao smiled and patted Xiao Xiao's head. She liked Xiao Xiao's straightforward personality and found her very comfortable to be around.

"I'm not falling for that. I'll have plenty of opportunities to compete in the next tournament. I'm not going to embarrass myself in this one!"

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled.

Huo Yuhao and the others returned to the hotel, had lunch, and waited until the afternoon's opening time. Wang Yan then led everyone to the waiting area.

The semi-finals will be completed in one day. In the morning, they will face Xingluo Royal Academy, and in the afternoon, they will face Riyue Royal Soul Master Academy and Di'ao Academy.

The final match will be held in three days.

"Teacher Wang, how strong is the Sun and Moon team?"

When asked, Wang Yan shook his head. "The strength of the Sun and Moon Team is still unclear. Their captain, Ma Rulong, has not made a move from beginning to end."

As for the other six team members, they all possess the cultivation level of Soul King. However, this is not the most important factor; their tactics are the most powerful aspect.

Born into the Sun Moon Empire, each of them has a strong connection to soul tools in their battles, and their martial souls are rarely revealed.

Currently, only a few martial souls are known; the martial souls of the other team members remain unknown, which we will discuss later.

What I really want to talk about is their soul tool tactics. I've watched all their battles so far, and different soul tools have appeared in every single one.

The combinations of various soul tools can be described as dazzling, with different styles for both melee and ranged soul tools.

In comparison, other Soul Master academies from the original Douluo Three Kingdoms were incomparable to them.

This isn't just a difference in soul tools; our understanding might not even be on the same level as the Sun Moon Empire.

As the competition officially began, Wang Yan stopped narrating, and everyone turned their attention to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the Imperial Academy, who were engaged in a team battle.
