Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

The seven students from Tianhai Academy formed a 2-3-2 formation.

Hai Ling'er, who was in the center, murmured, "Set up the Tide Gathering Sea Array."

Immediately, the seven people emitted azure light, and the soul power fluctuations between them resonated with each other. Then, thick water vapor enveloped the entire Soul Battle Arena, faintly forming a Sea Gathering Array.

The Tide Gathering Sea Formation can draw upon the soul power of a sea soul master and connect with the water elemental energy between heaven and earth, thereby creating a sea out of thin air on land, providing an excellent combat environment for the Sky Sea Team, which is not good at land combat.

Within the Tide Gathering Sea Formation, Hai Ling'er stood at the center of the formation, her fishtail phantom swaying behind her. The aura of the Five-Ring Soul King merged with the seawater. Bai Shasha and Jing Xie stood on either side, one embodying the unpredictable nature of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, and the other the domineering power of the Evil Demon Orca. Ling Han, She Kui, Xing Ying, and Yue Ying guarded the four corners. The hard shell of the sea turtle, the venom of the sea viper, the entanglement of the starfish, and the illusory light of the Sea Moon Pearl Clam transformed the Soul Battle Arena into a vast sea.

Seeing the Tianhai Academy team set up the Tide Gathering Sea Formation, Long Aotian and the others couldn't help but look solemn. No wonder Hai Ling'er was so confident when she drew the team battle mode.

After the formation was adjusted, the average strength of the Tianhai Academy team improved by another level.

Hai Ling'er has already launched her attack. "First Soul Skill, Song of the Sea God!"

Suddenly, a song rang out on the Soul Fighting Stage.

The song was ethereal and otherworldly, like the shattering of Kunshan jade or the weeping of lotus flowers. As the song rang out, it carried the power of mental control. With the song, Ling Han's sea turtle shell glowed with blue light, and its defensive power surged. She Kui's sea viper venomous mist merged with Xing Ying's starfish tentacles, transforming into a net of poisonous stings. Yue Ying's pearl clam opened, and illusory light enveloped the entire area. The vision of the seven students from Di'ao Academy blurred instantly, and a monstrous wave swept towards Long Aotian and the others.

Long Aotian transmitted a message to Tianmeng in the Sea of ​​Spirit: "Tianmeng, share spiritual detection!" Tianmeng instantly activated the first soul skill of Long Aotian's Yin-Yang Eye Martial Soul, activating the sharing spiritual detection, connecting the consciousnesses of the seven people from Di'ao Academy together, and their originally blurry vision instantly became clear again.

Long Aotian whispered, "Everyone be careful, this is mind control! Nana, make sure everyone is protected from the mental attack." "Jin Ni, follow me to attack Hai Ling'er and break the formation!" Vina and Jin Ni nodded.

"Golden Madness," "Dark Gold Power," "Golden Dragon Body," and "Golden Dragon Force"—Long Aotian and Jin Ni simultaneously unleashed their soul skills, causing the light of their Heaven-Destroying Axe and Golden Dragon Spear to surge as they attacked Hai Ling'er, who was at the core of the formation.

"Third Soul Skill, Demon Shark Blood Spike!" Bai Shasha opened her mouth and spat out dozens of blood spikes, stabbing towards Jin Ni. Jin Ni's golden dragon shield shone brightly, blocking the Demon Shark Blood Spike, while her right hand held a golden dragon spear that continued to stab at Bai Shasha, forcing her back.

"Second Soul Skill, Orca Demon Axe!" A beam of axe light emanated from Jing Xie's body, descending from the sky and striking Long Aotian directly.

"Well done!" Long Aotian held the Sky-Covering Shield in his left hand and the Sky-Piercing Axe in his right. The Sky-Covering Shield withstood the giant axe, while at the same time, he poured "Golden Madness" and "Dark Gold Power" into the Sky-Piercing Axe and cleaved it towards Jing Xie.

"boom!"

Jing Xie was forced back several steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. On the other side, Ji Juechen's Annihilation Sword Intent had pierced through the net of poisonous thorns, the tip of the sword pointing directly at She Kui.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Soul-Devouring Poison!" She Kui desperately activated his strongest soul skill, and poisonous clouds enveloped Ji Juechen and Ye Guyi.

Ji Juechen closed his eyes, his sword intent contained, using the sword as his eyes. "Sword's Edge! Slash!" The sword energy instantly tore through the poisonous clouds, turning into wisps of smoke.

She Kui screamed and was sent flying by the sword energy.

"Bone Robe, purify!" Long Aotian shouted.

"Third Soul Skill, Divine Praise!" Ye Guyi's angelic wings showered down golden light, dispelling the illusion and poisonous mist.

"Xiao Xiao, seal it!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Sealing of the Cauldron!" The runes of the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron enveloped Ling Han, Xing Ying, and Yue Ying respectively. Under the suppression of the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, the turtle's shell defense, the starfish's wild tentacles, and the pearl clam's illusory light were all suppressed in an instant. However, the light of the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron also flickered, clearly suppressing three Soul Masters of the same level at once. Xiao Xiao was under unprecedented pressure.

"A-Yuan, poison explosion!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Myriad Calamities Poison Soul Explosion!" The poisonous gas around Dugu Yuan quickly gathered into four poison pills, three of which surged toward Ling Han, Xing Ying, and Yue Ying respectively.

With all six students from Tianhai Academy temporarily blocked, the last poison pill instantly flew to Hai Ling'er's unsuspecting side.

"Light of the Sea God." Hai Ling'er instantly activated her third soul skill.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" Four explosions rang out in succession as the poison pills exploded, instantly sending Ling Han, Xing Ying, and Yue Ying flying, suffering serious injuries.

This was only because Dugu Yuan divided the power of the poison pill into four parts to deal with four people at the same time. If the poison pill were combined, it would be enough to kill a Soul King level expert.

However, the poison pill that was aimed at Hai Ling'er was blocked by the light barrier formed by the light of the sea god, and the power of the explosion did not affect Hai Ling'er at all.

Immediately afterwards, her second and fourth spirit rings flashed simultaneously.

The second spirit ring condensed into a blue-gold staff in his hand.

The blue-gold staff emitted four beams of sea god light, which surged into the bodies of She Kui, Ling Han, Xing Ying, and Yue Ying, instantly restoring much of their condition.

The fourth soul ring transformed into seven "deep-sea cages" that surged toward Long Aotian and the other six.

Countless jets of water erupted from the ground, instantly separating and surrounding the seven members of the Imperial Academy. Within each water prison, high-pressure, swirling water currents acted like countless invisible blades, cutting through their defenses.

Hai Ling'er, as expected of the captain of the Tianhai team, is far stronger than the other members. With her first move, she used three consecutive soul skills to instantly reverse the battle.

Long Aotian and Jin Ni exchanged a glance, and their fifth spirit rings flashed simultaneously.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Golden Heart." In an instant, Long Aotian's aura surged, breaking free from Hai Ling'er's control over the deep-sea prison. His body soared upwards, instantly plunging into the sky.

Long Aotian, who was climbing rapidly, was like a huge golden ball of light. After soaring more than a hundred meters into the air, he suddenly stopped for a moment. Then, the ball of light that Long Aotian had transformed into descended from the sky with an indomitable and tragic momentum, and crashed straight down on the Tianhai team.

The unity of heaven and man, the transformation of heaven and earth. This is the true meaning of the "Heart of Gold".

Long Aotian's fifth soul ring was taken from a 50,000-year-old Stoneheart Giant soul beast, which endowed Long Aotian with the "Golden Heart" soul skill. This skill can greatly enhance Long Aotian's all attribute values, allowing him to reach a state of oneness with heaven and earth in an instant, causing the world to change color.

Jin Ni also activated her fifth soul skill, "Golden Dragon Roar." The resounding dragon roar echoed throughout the entire arena, and a huge golden dragon instantly appeared from her body, breaking through the deep-sea prison and heading towards Hai Ling'er.
