The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Like Bei Bei, although his martial soul is Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, the power of his lightning attribute martial soul is far inferior to Xu Zihuang's.

His control over lightning attributes is far inferior to Xu Zihuang's.

The ultimate lightning-attribute soul power shield surrounding Xu Zihuang's body might not be able to completely dissolve Meng Hongchen's Zhu Qing Ice Toad poison, but it was more than enough to isolate it.

"So that's how it is. What an extremely powerful lightning strike!" Wang Yan's eyes lit up, and he secretly praised it in his heart.

Apart from Elder Xuan, the Shrek Academy students, who were unaware that Xu Zihuang's second martial soul possessed the ultimate lightning attribute, stared wide-eyed.

"How is this possible? My Zhu Qing Ice Toad Poison has been blocked?" Meng Hongchen asked in surprise and doubt, as she used her second soul skill, Ice Poison Ring, again.

Prepare to amplify the power of the Ice Toad's Poison.

An icy blue halo enveloped the entire arena, but unfortunately it had no effect on Xu Zihuang whatsoever.

Just as she unleashed those two soul skills, Xu Zihuang had already arrived in front of her.

The strange dark red ripples instantly overshadowed the icy blue halo.

Second Soul Skill: Mirror Destruction.

The dark red crystal suddenly enveloped Meng Hongchen, and the second phase of the Mirror's Destruction attack was launched.

The crystal shattered into countless flying fragments, and then Meng Hongchen's ice-blue armor burst forth with dazzling light.

She was completely unharmed despite directly taking the brunt of Xu Zihuang's second soul skill, Mirror Annihilation.

Xu Zihuang had anticipated this outcome, because he had clearly sensed with his powerful mental strength that when the Mirror Shattering was unleashed, the overflowing dark red ripples were blocked by the armor on Meng Hongchen's body.

The fact that the dark red ripples could not penetrate Meng Hongchen's body meant that his second soul skill could not condense the inside of Meng Hongchen's body into crystals, thus rendering the second stage of the soul skill ineffective.

This is the principle behind the Soul Skill "Mirror Destruction".

No matter how powerful Xu Zihuang's second soul skill is, its lifespan is ultimately only five thousand years. Meanwhile, Meng Hongchen's level six soul-guided full-body armor possesses a level six defensive soul tool.

It was entirely reasonable to block his soul skill.

However, when he uses the power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to increase the age of his second soul ring to ten thousand years, or even one hundred thousand years, the power of the Soul Skill Mirror Annihilation will undergo a qualitative change.

Chapter 201 Spear Pierces the Dream of the Mortal World

Although Meng Hongchen was unharmed by Xu Zihuang's second soul skill thanks to the defensive soul tool attached to this level-six soul tool full armor, the effect of the defensive soul tool was automatically triggered, which still consumed a lot of her soul power.

As she calmed down, she saw a crystal spear, over three meters long, rapidly solidify within the familiar yet strange dark red ripples, which Xu Zihuang grasped in one hand.

The spear was also made of dark red crystal, but its color was much deeper than the dark red crystal that had previously enveloped Meng Hongchen.

Because Xu Zihuang infused more soul power into the crystal spear during its formation, in pursuit of greater hardness.

He had experimented with this some time ago. When he used his second soul skill, Mirror Annihilation, with all his soul power, the crystal he condensed had a hardness comparable to that of a rare metal called titanium.

Among all the rare metals discovered, titanium ranks among the hardest in terms of hardness alone.

Only a few exceptionally rare metals possess a hardness exceeding that of titanium. Titanium is also widely used in the creation of melee soul tools that require even greater toughness.

The pair of ice-blue longswords in Meng Hongchen's hands contained this rare metal.

The brilliant golden light from the soul-guided shield fell onto the dark red crystal spear, instantly refracting a magnificent array of colors.

Xu Zihuang gripped the gun handle with his right hand and swung it diagonally, leaving a dark red afterimage that left a neat scratch on the hard granite floor.

This demonstrates its hardness and sharpness.

Seeing Xu Zihuang so close at hand, Meng Hongchen's expression changed slightly. Without hesitation, she activated her third soul skill, Ice Refraction.

A crystal mirror with a diameter of over five meters instantly appeared beneath her feet, and she changed her position by using the refraction of the ice. Then, with a light tap of her toes, she leaped backward dozens of meters, not forgetting to use her two slender swords to create a flurry of sword shadows, hoping to find an opening while Xu Zihuang was dealing with the situation.

Given Yu Tianhuang's astonishing talent, how could the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy not have carefully studied his abilities?

The Sun and Moon Team members would watch every match that Shrek Academy played live.

Through their observations, they gained a certain understanding of the effects of Yu Tianhuang's first, second, and fourth soul skills.

Their team leader, Master Ma, even deduced that Yu Tianhuang's fourth soul skill could only be replicated three times a day.

The only one I don't quite understand is the Time Distortion, a time-attribute soul skill with an incredibly powerful effect.

Such a soul skill is extremely rare; not just any soul master possesses such insight. Moreover, Xu Zihuang only revealed a small fraction of this third soul skill during the battle against Silves Academy.

This Elder Ma was merely an eighth-level Soul Master, which could be considered a Soul Douluo-level expert. However, in terms of research on Martial Souls and Soul Skills, their Sun Moon Empire still couldn't compare to the three original Douluo Empires.

He naturally couldn't see through the essence of Xu Zihuang's third soul skill as quickly as Xu Jiawei, who came from the Douluo Continent and was at the Title Douluo level.

However, Elder Ma was quite certain about the ability of Yu Tianhuang's Golden Eye Martial Soul to see through illusions and discern the trajectory of moving objects. He had also reminded the members of the Sun and Moon Team to pay extra attention to this.

Because these two abilities are too much of a counter to them, the Soul Masters.

Knowing this, Meng Hongchen used her third soul skill, Ice Refraction, primarily to distance herself from Yu Tianhuang.

Her deadly poison, the Ice Toad, could not penetrate Yu Tianhuang's body, which meant that her first soul skill, Ice Toad Poison, and her second soul skill, Ice Poison Ring, had no effect on Yu Tianhuang.

Furthermore, with the Golden Eyes Martial Soul's ability to see through illusions, her third Soul Skill, Ice Refraction, could no longer achieve the same effect as it had in the previous battle against Jiang Nannan.

As Xiao Hongchen said, Meng Hongchen's martial soul ability may play an unexpected role, but under certain specific circumstances, it can also be severely suppressed.

Xiao Hongchen never expected that his words would come true.

Not only her first three soul skills, but Meng Hongchen's fourth soul skill is actually an unconventional amplification-type soul skill. In other words, at the soul master level, the only offensive means she can currently use is her ten-thousand-year-level fifth soul skill.

This fifth soul skill, at the ten-thousand-year level, is exceptionally powerful, but it also consumes a great deal of soul power. Activating this skill requires a certain amount of time to gather soul power.

She wanted to find Xu Zihuang's weakness so that she could activate her fifth soul skill at the most opportune moment.

Although Meng Hongchen had a strong interest in Xu Zihuang, she never thought of throwing the game in this final competition that concerned the honor of their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The countless icy blue sword shadows seemed to weave together into a dense net, filling every corner of the space.

The intricate, golden patterns in Xu Zihuang's eyes shone brightly as he shifted his position, perfectly avoiding the myriad sword shadows.

Dynamic vision, this martial soul instinct, was activated to its fullest extent at this moment.

Melee soul tools are generally more powerful than many ranged soul tools, but the price of their power is that they cannot lock onto a target.

No matter how dense the icy blue sword shadows were, in Xu Zihuang's eyes, it was like a scene frozen in time.

While dodging the icy blue sword shadows and approaching Meng Hongchen, he still had the strength to grip the dark red crystal spear and make a throwing motion.

"Be careful."

Xu Zihuang also gave Meng Hongchen a reminder.

At this moment, the distance between him and Meng Hongchen was less than ten meters. Even though Meng Hongchen was constantly activating the abilities of her level six melee soul tools, she still couldn't slow down Xu Zihuang's approach.

The audience was dazzled by their fierce battle. Compared to the previous three matches, which were all one-sided, this match was undoubtedly much more exciting.

Just as Xu Zihuang threw the crystal spear in his hand, his third spirit ring, which was purple with a hint of black, lit up.

The mysterious, brilliant golden patterns spread rapidly outwards from his body, but under his deliberate control, they only covered an area within a radius of fifty meters.

However, he and Meng Hongchen are currently both in this realm, and the golden halo makes this space seem distorted.

The Heavenly Fiend Douluo is currently at the edge of the arena. Xu Zihuang did this precisely to prevent the Heavenly Fiend Douluo from being enveloped by his third soul skill, Time Distortion.

Back then, he resisted Elder Xuan's casual grab.

That exhausted all the soul power in his body.

Although this Heavenly Fiend Douluo's cultivation and strength are not as good as Elder Xuan's, he is still a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level.

If he were to make some subconscious, instinctive reactions that inexplicably deplete a large amount of his soul power, then he would truly be left speechless with despair.

His approach to Meng Hongchen from the very beginning was for this purpose.

The crystal spear, detached from Xu Zihuang's right hand, spun violently. Due to the previous battle, some fine dust left on the granite floor trembled and scattered to both sides the instant the crystal spear passed by.

As Meng Hongchen released her martial spirit, the pupils of her eerie, blood-red eyes suddenly contracted. She was about to prepare a response.

However, just as the thought crossed her mind, the tip of the crystal spear that shot towards her struck her flat stomach, which was covered by ice-blue armor.

The level-six defensive soul tools, mainly located on her chest and lower abdomen, were triggered and once again emitted a dazzling ice-blue light.

However, the icy blue light that enveloped Meng Hongchen did not last long before it dimmed with a crisp shattering sound.

On Meng Hongchen's ice-blue armor near his abdomen, a circular dent about the size of a palm appeared. The dent was filled with fine cracks.

Pieces of icy blue metal fell off, revealing blue-gold circular gems engraved with complex core magic arrays.

"Hmm." Meng Hongchen let out a muffled groan, staggered back as he was struck by the crystal spear that still possessed astonishing power and was spinning in a spiral.

That extraordinary, crystal-clear blue-gold round gemstone was beginning to show signs of damage.

Xu Zihuang's gaze narrowed slightly, and four more enormous, cone-shaped, dark red crystals solidified in the air. Each crystal was over fifty meters long, blotting out the sky and causing the audience to gasp in astonishment.

The team leader, Mr. Ma, and Xiao Hongchen stood up almost at the same time and shouted urgently.

"Stop! We surrender!"

The crystal spear thrown by Yu Tianhuang alone had already destroyed the core array of Meng Hongchen's armor's defensive soul tool. If those four cone-shaped crystals were to hit, what would happen?

A beam of starlight descended from the sky, protecting Meng Hongchen's body. However, in the meantime, Xu Zihuang had already withdrawn his soul skill.

Crystal shards rained down, landing on Meng Hongchen's long, snow-white hair. The spinning crystal spear shattered as well.

The surging blood and qi within her body caused Meng Hongchen's delicate body to sway slightly, but she used her two slender swords to support herself and looked up at Xu Zihuang, who stood calmly before her.

As her martial spirit receded, her snow-white hair returned to its wine-red color, while her blood-red eyes turned back to their original ice-blue.

Her beautiful eyes shimmered with tears.

Despite losing to Yu Tianhuang, she felt no anger or resentment. Instead, her strange feelings for Yu Tianhuang deepened.

He was supposed to have an extra spirit ring, and he also had the amplification of a full set of level-six spirit tool armor. Yet, even so, he was still defeated in a single move.

She knew very well that if they had the same level of cultivation, she probably wouldn't even be qualified to fight Yu Tianhuang.

"How did you figure out the location of the core array of my armor's defensive soul-guided device? Also, how did you isolate me from the deadly poison of the Crimson Ice Toad? Can you tell me?" Meng Hongchen bit her lip lightly.

Xu Zihuang replied calmly.

"When you blocked my second soul skill for the first time, the location of the core magic circle was already exposed. Some things are destined to be impossible to hide."

As for using the ultimate lightning to counter Meng Hongchen Zhu Qing's deadly poison, he certainly wouldn't reveal it on his own initiative.

Upon hearing Xu Zihuang's words, Meng Hongchen was terrified.

Any soul tool must have a core magic array to be activated. For defensive soul tools like the one she's wearing, which are in the form of armor, the core magic array is usually placed on the chest, specifically the breastplate in the center of the armor.
