Chapter 181 The Power of Control-Type Soul Masters (Part 1)

On the Shrek Seven Devils' side, Ning Rongrong's hand was already shining brightly. A seven-colored pagoda over a foot tall had appeared in her right palm.

Radiating a dazzling light and exuding an air of nobility, Ning Rongrong wore a smile, appearing ethereal and otherworldly. The clear incantation of a support-type Soul Master rang from her lips.

"The seven treasures have names, the first of which is: strength."

"The seven treasures have names, the second of which is: Speed."

The two spirit rings hovering around Ning Rongrong rose simultaneously, enveloping the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Fourteen rays of colorful light were released at the same time, respectively applied to herself and her six companions.

Lightness and warmth simultaneously spread throughout the Shrek Seven Devils' bodies, instantly boosting their strength and agility by thirty percent.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is a well-known martial soul, and seeing that the opposing team actually had a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soul master, the members of the Berserker Team immediately looked grim. Leaving aside the fact that the effects the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can provide to teammates are unparalleled among support-type soul masters, the fact that the opponent was from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was enough to make them wary.

"Go!" The arrow was on the bowstring, and there was no choice but to release it. Kuang Xi couldn't afford to think too much at this point. Although he regretted his earlier provocation of Dai Mubai, he had no choice but to finish this battle first. He planned that even if he won this time, he absolutely couldn't cripple his opponent like before. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not one they could afford to offend.

Kuang Xi's martial soul was indeed a rhinoceros. After releasing his martial soul, not only did his body swell, but his skin also gained a thick layer of keratin, resembling armor. The most significant change was to his head, where a single horn, over half a foot long, gleamed with a brownish-yellow light. Accompanied by his loud shout, the white light of his ten-year soul rings surged, and he charged towards Dai Mubai with an unstoppable momentum.

The two Soul Masters beside Mad Rhino were also offensive type, both Beast Soul Masters, possessing the same Martial Soul: two horns on their heads and a layer of white fur on their skin—clearly, they were Sheep Martial Souls. Together with Mad Rhino, they charged forward using their magical artifacts.

As a team, coordination is extremely important. The Berserker team's support-type Soul Masters only increased their defense by 5% and attack by 10%. Compared to the boost from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, this is far less significant. Otherwise, how could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda be called the number one support Martial Soul?

Behind the three, two agility-type Soul Masters also moved swiftly. Their Martial Souls were monkeys, their bodies covered in yellow fur. They moved with incredible speed, bypassing Dai Mubai and his two companions from the front, their target being Ning Rongrong behind them.

At the same time, the alluring young woman with top-tier spirit rings also moved. She was also a beast spirit master, and the reason she could occupy the center position in the group, besides her strength, was her spirit master cultivation direction. Like Tang San, she was also a control-type spirit master. To Tang San's surprise, this alluring woman's beast spirit was actually a spider.

The moment the martial soul was activated, Tang San noticed her. When the enchanting girl released her martial soul, her entire body was covered in a layer of pink light. Eight strands of her wavy long hair stood horizontally, forming the eight legs of a spider on both sides of her head. A spider web mark appeared on her forehead, and her eyes also turned pink.

As her first spirit ring lit up, she simultaneously raised both hands, and strands of spider silk shot out from her palms, aiming towards the sky. The spider silk began to weave rapidly in the air.

Upon seeing that the opponent's control-type Soul Master was a spider, even Dai Mubai couldn't help but laugh. The Human-Faced Demon Spider also has another title among spider-type Soul Beasts: the Spider King. He didn't even need to think; he already knew that the opponent's Martial Soul was exactly what his side could counter.

Tang San coldly observed the situation on the field, and shouted, "Fatty, in the air, Phoenix Fire Line, fire!"

Ma Hongjun was already prepared, and purple-red flames shot out, heading straight for the spider web in the air.

At that moment, Tang San also began to move. Dozens of Blue Silver Grasses rapidly extended from beneath his feet, not forward, but to the sides, intertwining and unleashing their dual skills, directly blocking the two young agility-type Soul Masters who possessed the Monkey Martial Soul.

Control-type attacks are effective against agility-based attacks; this is common knowledge among Soul Masters. Seeing the Blue Silver Grass swarming towards them, the two incredibly fast monkey Soul Masters momentarily halted.

Tang San raised his hand, not even glancing at the surroundings. He threw a ball of green light from his palm using the flicking arrow technique, aiming at the enemy's leader, Kuang Xi.

Kuangxi naturally saw the green light released by Tang San, and he understood that the other party was a control-type soul master. Without thinking, he immediately activated his second soul ring. With the forward charge of his massive body, he threw out both fists at the same time, and a dazzling black light shone from his fists. The two lights collided suddenly in the air, turning into a huge black light wave that rushed straight towards the yellow-green light emitted by Tang San.

It must be said that Kuangxi has a wealth of combat experience. The black light wave he emitted was not only aimed at the green light launched by Tang San. Once the green light was destroyed, the next target would be Dai Mubai.

But can he really block that green light?

Kuangxi ultimately overlooked one thing: when Tang San released the green light, his third spirit ring was also shining through. It was that purple, thousand-year spirit ring.

The green light was neither shattered nor hindered by the black light; it swayed under the impact of the black light. Just then, a blue silver grass stealthily reached out from a tricky angle, bumping right behind the green light. With a gentle pull, the green light, which had been drifting backward by the black light, flew directly into the air and then crashed down upon it.

"Mad Rhino, be careful!" The alluring woman's expression changed, and she hurriedly shouted a warning. At this moment, her spider web, which was still unfinished in the air, had been completely dissolved by Ma Hongjun's evil fire. It had no effect whatsoever. With the amplification of Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the originally significant difference in soul power between the two sides was greatly narrowed. Ma Hongjun's attack, which functioned like a cannon, brought the power of his evil fire to its limit.

Kuangxi knew he had to be careful, but speed wasn't his forte. The black light unleashed from his fists collided with Dai Mubai's second spirit ring skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, and the collision of black and white caused a violent roar. This time, Kuangxi didn't gain the upper hand; both he and Dai Mubai paused and swayed slightly.

The green light finally revealed its true form, and a vast net instantly unfurled from the sky, completely enveloping the massive body of the rhinoceros. The web tightened abruptly, binding the rhinoceros's body tightly together.

Thanks to the spiderweb bindings that doubled the resilience of the Blue Silver Grass, it became virtually impossible for the Mad Rhino to break free from this large web.

A cloud of smoke appeared simultaneously with the spiderweb, and the web's corrosive and paralyzing toxins were activated at the same time, beginning to erode the rhinoceros's keratin layer.

"Good job, Xiao San!" Seeing that Tang San had successfully controlled the Mad Rhino, Dai Mubai's spirits soared. He stomped his foot and shot out like an arrow, his target the Sheep Soul Master on his left. He didn't bother to dodge the attack. It was like a lamb entering a tiger's den. Due to the inherent clash of their martial souls, Dai Mubai's aura had already had a significant impact on his opponent.

Xiao Wu flashed forward and met another sheep-type soul master, while Zhu Zhuqing accelerated at full speed, flanking from the side. Regardless of the control-type soul master, her target was the Ruyi Disc support soul master at the very back.

The battle was now in full swing. In the first clash, the Berserker Team clearly suffered a great loss. Their main fighting force, Mad Rhino, was bound and entangled by Tang San's spider web, which immediately put them at a disadvantage.

At this moment, the Berserker Team demonstrated their strength with a seven-game winning streak. In any Soul Master team, regardless of the number of members, the control-type Soul Master is the soul of the team.

Seeing the rhinoceros trapped, the alluring young woman showed no sign of anxiety. Instead, she swiftly rushed forward and pounced on the rhinoceros, shouting, "Two monkeys, retreat! Protect the Ruyi Plate! Two sheep, hold the line!"

After being thwarted by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, the two monkey soul masters quickly retreated to their side. Upon hearing the enchanting girl's command, they pounced on Zhu Zhuqing without hesitation.

In his violent struggle, Mad Rhino had already rolled to the ground. He tried to break free of Tang San's spider web, but the corrosive poison emanating from it was rapidly eroding his outer layer of skin. While his defenses were strong, this didn't mean he was immune to the poison. His outermost layer of skin had already been corroded, and the more violently he struggled, the tighter the web tightened. He was now sinking deeper and deeper.

The alluring young woman was already taken aback when she saw Tang San's instantly created spider web. Although Tang San's spider web was composed of Blue Silver Grass, she knew very well that his third spirit ring must have come from a spider-type spirit beast. And with her spider spirit, she had no confidence against such an opponent. Her goal at this moment was simple: to dissolve the spider web on the Mad Rhino first.
