Chapter 416 A Mutated Skill of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill (Part 2)

Compared to him, Yu Tianheng was clearly more agitated. Under Tang San's provocation, Yu Tianheng's emotions had been thoroughly stirred up.

On either side of the short-haired man were a man and a woman. The man had long, fiery red hair that cascaded down his back. Even his eyes were dark red. His appearance was also ordinary, but like the short-haired youth before him, he exuded that invisible aura.

The only woman among the three had long black hair and resembled the man in front somewhat. All three had expressions that seemed identical. At first glance, the girl didn't seem particularly beautiful. But upon closer inspection, one could sense a strange charm emanating from her.

A familiar voice rang in Tang San's ear, "Pay close attention to these three people."

When Tang San turned his head, he didn't know when, but Dugu Bo had already arrived beside him. Dugu Bo's gaze was also fixed on the three people. At this moment, the other four teammates walking behind them were completely overshadowed. And those four people clearly all possessed strength above level forty.

"These three are the three prodigies hailed as the Golden Generation by the Spirit Hall. The black-haired youth in front is named Xie Yue, a level 52 Power Attack-type Soul King, whose Martial Soul is the Moon Blade, and he is a Weapon Soul Master. The red-haired man behind him is named Yan, a level 52 Fire Attribute Power Attack-type Soul King, whose Martial Soul is the Flame Lord. The girl on Xie Yue's other side is his sister, named Hu Liena, a level 51 Control-type Soul King, whose Martial Soul is a fox. Xie Yue and Hu Liena respectively take their parents' surnames and inherited their parents' Martial Souls. Among the three, besides paying attention to the two Power Attack-type Soul Kings, you should also be especially careful of Hu Liena. Hu Liena possesses extremely powerful charm abilities. Her Soul Skills are all based on charm."

Listening to Dugu Bo's words, Tang San nodded silently, memorizing every word he said.

The master listened quietly to the audience, but his gaze had already drifted towards the towering Papal Palace behind the competition stage. "Bibi Dong, is this the question you gave me?"

The match began with the referee's announcement.

Although Tang San had completely ignited Yu Tianheng's fighting spirit, he still paused when he saw the opponent's martial soul being fully unleashed.

The three Xie Yue members standing at the forefront each possessed five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—and they were all optimally matched. The combined pressure of the three of them diminished Yu Tianheng's domineering aura somewhat.

The first person the Spirit Hall Academy team made a move was not their captain, Xie Yue, but his sister, Hu Liena.

With a light, graceful step, Hu Liena appeared at the forefront in what seemed like a mere turn. A faint smile appeared on her face. As her martial spirit was released, she seemed to become even more beautiful, and a large, fluffy tail grew from her back.

A pale red light emanated from her body, and her eyes flickered as she looked at Yu Tianheng. Yu Tianheng, who was about to unleash his soul skill, paused again. But his experience with combat was well-documented, and he quickly shouted, "Don't look into her eyes!"

"So it's okay if I don't look you in the eye? Everyone calls me Heavenly Fox." Hu Liena's voice sounded a little hoarse, but there was a special charm in that hoarseness. From the first glance she gave as she stepped out, to these words, not a single person in the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy team made a move.

A bizarre scene unfolded: Hu Liena's five spirit rings flickered rhythmically, first the black fifth ring, then the fourth, third, second, and finally the yellow first ring. With each fluctuation of a spirit ring, the red light emanating from her intensified. And Xie Yue behind her also moved.

Xie Yue wielded not one, but two crescent-shaped blades, both entirely blood-red. He held each blade in the center. Then, with a movement of his body, he opened his arms and charged at his sister from behind.

A red light curtain suddenly appeared and spread, enveloping Xie Yue and Hu Liena the instant their bodies collided. Simultaneously, the red light exploded, expanding like a sphere of light, covering nearly half the area of ​​the arena and naturally encompassing all seven opponents.

"A spirit fusion skill?" Tang San blurted out.

The other five members of the Spirit Hall Academy team, including Yan, seemed to have no intention of making a move. Yan even took several steps back and stood with his teammates.

A red light flashed, and the two people turned into one—a person with long, flowing hair whose gender was indistinguishable.

Their hair had turned red, and the figure formed by Xie Yue and Hu Liena began to dance silently. Two moon blades, now twice their original size, slashed out silently with a rainbow-like brilliance.

That's right, this is their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Enchantress.

The Enchanting skill is different from the Netherworld White Tiger skill of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

The Netherworld White Tiger is primarily offensive, while this demonic entity is primarily controlling. Within the demonic entity's control range, everyone's senses will be reduced by 50%, their soul power suppressed by 50%, and all actions slowed by 50%.

In that dense red light, it had become extremely difficult for Yu Tianheng and his companions to even see their opponents clearly.

The red light suddenly intensified, and a massive energy fluctuation erupted instantly, making it impossible to see what was inside from the outside.

Muffled groans echoed from behind the red light barrier. One figure after another was thrown out.

Bright red blood spurted out with the thrown figure, and Dugu Bo, who was next to Tang San, looked extremely pale.

"They don't want their opponents to see their true strength. Although they used a Spirit Fusion Technique, that's all they've shown to you."

Soon, five of the seven members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team had been thrown out. Only Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's fierce cries continued to emanate from the red light screen.

Accompanied by sharp whistles, an eerie voice, indistinguishable between male and female, rang out from behind the red curtain: "Poison, within our domain, is greatly diminished. Dugu Yan, your poison is insufficient to affect me. Go."

Dugu Yan's body was sent flying amidst a thunderous roar. She had no visible injuries, yet blood was gushing from her wounds. She was blasted off the stage.

With a final roar, the red light curtain finally faded, and the beings that had previously merged, resembling a transvestite, returned to being two people.

Yu Tianheng stood opposite them, his arms, which had transformed into dragon shapes, trembling incessantly.

"For the sake of your family, I'll spare your life," Xie Yue's calm voice drifted out. With a light flick of his moon blade, as if a thread were pulling Yu Tianheng's body, his powerful frame crashed to the ground. Dragon scales on his arms scattered and blood splattered.

Slowly raising the moon blade in his hand, Xie Yue's gaze drifted directly towards the Shrek Academy team, seemingly provoking them in some way.

Tang San met his opponent without fear, his pupils contracted, and purple-gold light burst forth.

A moment of distraction flashed in Xie Yue's eyes, and his body swayed slightly.

The purple-gold light in Tang San's eyes flashed for only a moment before disappearing. Xie Yue quickly reacted, a cold and sharp look flashing in his eyes. He raised his right hand and made a killing gesture across his neck.

The fact that Shrek Academy defeated Star Luo Academy was truly astonishing.

So, the appearance of the entire main force of the Spirit Hall Academy team gave the impression of overwhelming dominance. Facing another seeded team, they only fielded two players, yet they defeated their opponents with a single Spirit Fusion Technique. What a difference in strength!

No one doubted their strength anymore, and no one even considered these things. Many faces froze in disbelief. By this point, apart from Shrek Academy, no other team even dreamed of winning the championship.

The two key matches evoked different feelings. Shrek Academy's performance was certainly eye-catching, but once the three Soul Kings from the Spirit Hall Academy team appeared, no one had any hope for them anymore.

However, the Shrek Seven Devils didn't care about any of that; what they cared about was today's victory. This victory belonged to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, and it belonged to all of them.

When they returned to their lodgings, Dai Mubai was already awake. He and Zhu Zhuqing were still excited even as night fell.

After the third round of matches, only six teams remain in the entire tournament. Two of the three seeded teams were eliminated in today's matches. Only the Spirit Hall Academy team remains.

Undoubtedly, among the remaining six teams, the Spirit Hall Academy team is the strongest. Closely following are the Shrek Academy team and the Divine Wind Academy team. While the other three teams also made it to the top six, they were largely relegated to supporting roles.

Tomorrow's draw will determine many things, and no one wants to be the first to face the Spirit Hall Academy team, which represents a formidable obstacle.
