Douluo Continent: I possess astonishing wisdom as I control energy!

"Don't worry, Sister Lexuan, I've only temporarily sealed their soul power. I'll unseal it after the competition, and there won't be any aftereffects."

Kong Ming'an spoke with a smile, his smile unchanged.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief. For some reason, the boy's words seemed very credible to her, so much so that she believed them without a second thought.

After a brief moment of calm, she slowly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, all the confusion and distractions in her eyes had vanished, leaving only a pure and unwavering fighting spirit.

Regardless of Shrek's current appearance, her stance at this moment remains unchanged: she is on Shrek's side.

Being in her position, fulfilling her duties and achieving victory in this battle is her obligation, and she cannot be half-hearted.

"Om-!"

Two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings rose from beneath her feet. The powerful soul energy fluctuations and oppressive feeling were far stronger and more refined than those of Han Ruoruo before!

It was astonishing that he was only one step away from reaching the Soul Saint level!

Despite Zhang Lexuan's all-out effort, Kong Ming'an's smile remained unchanged.

Beneath his feet, a deep, black, millennia-old soul ring, seemingly capable of swallowing light, slowly emerged, encircling him alone.

Kong Ming'an did not intend to look down on her nominal "elder sister".

The top-tier "Moon" martial soul, the cultivation level of a peak level 69 Soul Emperor, and the practical combat experience accumulated from frequent missions...

Undoubtedly, even though "body cultivation" has a special advantage against traditional Soul Masters, using purely "body cultivation" methods to deal with his "clan elder sister" would be somewhat inadequate.

But he's not just a "physical cultivator," he's also a "dharma cultivator"!

Do you really think he can only dominate with numbers?

The numerical values ​​of "physical cultivation" combined with the mechanics of "magical cultivation"

This is the real answer!

What "body cultivation" version and "magic cultivation" version? Regardless of the version, dual cultivation of body and magic will never be outdated and will always be top-tier!

The revelation of the ten-thousand-year spirit ring almost instantly attracted everyone's attention, after all, this was the first time Kong Ming'an had revealed his spirit ring in a competition.

Zhang Lexuan's pupils contracted slightly as she stared intently at the black spirit ring. Her vigilance instantly spiked, and she quickly made a judgment.

The first ring in ten thousand years. This proves that the boy in front of her might have twin martial souls.

Moreover, since they can withstand a ten-thousand-year soul ring, it is obvious that their physical attributes, mental strength, and cultivation level have definitely reached the Soul King level!

Therefore, there are at least five unknown soul skills yet to be revealed, in addition to the strange method that can seal human soul power and martial soul.

The solemnity on Zhang Lexuan's face almost materialized.

Her "cousin" was no ordinary person.

The referee, hovering in mid-air, scanned the room to ensure both sides were ready, then took a deep breath and announced loudly:

"'Two-Two-Three' Strategy, Round Two—Begin!"

Chapter 67 Finals

"Ping'er!"

Zhang Lexuan gave a low shout.

Beside her, the seemingly timid girl immediately responded, her hand flashing with a blue light, and five green apples emitting a faint fragrance instantly materialized and were handed to Zhang Lexuan.

This is her martial soul, Qingping. As a food-type soul master, she can provide an exceptionally powerful single-target buff.

Zhang Lexuan took them without hesitation and quickly took a bite out of each apple.

The sour taste made her unconsciously furrow her brow slightly, but the next moment, a powerful sense of strength surged through her entire body!

Five buffs—soul power, speed, strength, spirit, and life recovery speed—were applied to her, each increasing by roughly 40% to 50%!

A support-type Soul Master who can enter Shrek Academy's regular team must have unquestionable abilities.

She gave a signal with her eyes, and Ping'er immediately understood. She ate a speed-boosting green apple, then grabbed the remaining apples and ran quickly to the edge of the arena, holding an invincible shield in her hand, ready to use it at any time.

At the same time, Fang Yi, the support-type Soul Master of the opposing Sun Moon team, also completed her support Soul Skill. She is also a food-type Soul Master, and she was holding a pile of bread in her arms.

Zhang Lexuan's gaze fell on Kong Ming'an, her eyes showing no hesitation whatsoever!

The next moment, a cold, clear moon shadow suddenly appeared behind her.

Countless sharp, moon-white light blades poured out like a torrential downpour, directly covering half of the competition stage!

Having witnessed the opponent's bizarre ability to seal away qi and blood, she chose the simplest and most brutal method—indiscriminate area bombardment—to force the opponent to be unable to get close easily!

Faced with the overwhelming onslaught of moon blades, Kong Ming'an remained calm.

He finished the last bite of bread in his mouth, then picked up Fang Yi and threw her into the ripples of space that spread out beside him, sending her to the edge of the competition stage.

Having done all this, he calmly raised his hand.

In an instant, an invisible barrier that distorted space silently unfolded in front of him, covering half of the arena.

All the incoming moon blades vanished without a trace the moment they touched the barrier, as if they had disappeared into thin air.

Zhang Lexuan's eyes narrowed, and she subconsciously sensed that something was wrong.

However, the space behind her fluctuated the next moment, and those vanished moon blades shot out from the ripples behind her intact!

Zhang Lexuan reacted extremely quickly, her figure instantly transforming into a hazy moonlight, narrowly avoiding her own attack, and gracefully landing in the distance.

"Space Martial Soul"

Zhang Lexuan became slightly more serious.

The boy's second martial soul is a space martial soul, which is just as rare as those ultimate attribute martial souls!

The eerie blood mist was troublesome enough, but now she's being told there's such an obviously unusual spatial ability?

We must act swiftly! We must not give him any room to maneuver!

A resolute glint flashed in Zhang Lexuan's eyes, and her fifth and sixth black ten-thousand-year soul rings simultaneously shone with dazzling light!

"Sixth Soul Skill, Moonrise! Fifth Soul Skill, Moonset!"

The former is a powerful amplification soul skill, while the latter is a pure attack soul skill.

With the blessing of "Moonrise", Zhang Lexuan's body shone brightly with moonlight, and her aura surged. At the same time, a huge ball of light, which looked like a real moon falling, crashed down on Kong Ming'an with a destructive aura!

Kong Ming'an's gaze was calm. He raised his hand and skillfully condensed a crimson spear of qi and blood.

But this time was different; a clearly visible chain of qi and blood was connected to the end of the spear.

Hold your breath, concentrate, and then throw!

"boom!"

Centered on Kong Ming'an's feet, the ground suddenly cracked like a spider web!

The spear was thrown, but its target was not the setting moonlight; it was aimed directly at Zhang Lexuan!

Zhang Lexuan's gaze was calm. She slightly turned her body, letting the large spear glide past her waist.

However, the spear disappeared into a spatial ripple behind her, vanishing instantly. The next moment, it emerged from another ripple not far in front of her, continuing to thrust forward with fierce momentum!

Zhang Lexuan sensed something was wrong and narrowly dodged again. This time, the sharp tip of the spear almost grazed her neck, sending a chill down her spine.

Just as she was about to adjust her posture, Zhang Lexuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Subtle ripples of space appeared out of thin air all around her.

Under Kong Ming'an's precise control, the Qi and Blood Spear appeared and disappeared unpredictably through countless spatial channels, each appearance accompanied by the entanglement and sealing of the Qi and Blood Chain!

Countless crimson chains, like living tentacles, emerged, coiled, and tightened from all sorts of incredible angles.

Zhang Lexuan pushed her movement technique to its limit, yet she was still like a moth drawn into a spider's web, her space to dodge gradually compressed to nothing.

Finally, with a soft sound, more than a dozen chains of qi and blood tightened suddenly, binding her hands, feet, waist, abdomen, and even neck tightly, freezing her in mid-air, unable to move!

Kong Ming'an's figure silently emerged from the spatial ripples and arrived not far in front of Zhang Lexuan. He paused slightly, seemingly about to tell her to admit defeat.

However, in that very instant!

A resolute light suddenly burst forth in Zhang Lexuan's eyes, who was tightly bound! The moonlight around her shimmered wildly with unprecedented brightness!

"Shh!"

The figure bound by chains suddenly became illusory, and in the next instant, it vanished into thin air like a mirage!

Almost at the same time, behind Kong Ming'an, an intense moonlight suddenly shone brightly!

Zhang Lexuan's figure appeared like a ghost, a long and sharp moon-white blade materializing in her hand, which she thrust precisely towards Kong Ming'an's waist without hesitation.

This is the position that can decide the outcome of the battle the fastest, without causing fatal injuries, and that facilitates subsequent treatment!

This was a powerful strike that combined all her soul power, willpower, and last hope! The moon blade pierced into the target's waist and abdomen without any resistance!

Did it work? !

The thought had just crossed Zhang Lexuan's mind.

The next moment, the body of "Kong Ming'an" that she had stabbed suddenly shuddered, and then exploded like a punctured water bag!

The extremely dense crimson blood mist spread out instantly, completely engulfing Zhang Lexuan, who was extremely close and had no time to react!

"Well!"

A terrifying feeling of suffocation and stagnation of soul power overwhelmed her instantly, like ice water.

His meridians were completely blocked, his soul power was completely sealed, and even his connection with his martial soul "Moon" became blurred.

A wave of helplessness and despair surged through her body instinctively, and the familiar feeling directly triggered her deepest memories of the night her family was massacred!

This is stronger than ever before!

She gritted her teeth and, with her strong willpower, refused to utter a word of surrender.

Her eyes were fixed on the boy who had appeared out of nowhere. She raised her arm, which had become incredibly heavy, and with her last bit of strength, she threw a final punch forward.

Chapter 68: The BOSS's health bar is showing.

"boom"

The weak punch landed softly on Kong Ming'an's chest, which was clearly his true form, producing a faint sound, as light as a child's whine.

With her last ounce of strength exhausted, Zhang Lexuan completely lost control of her body, collapsing forward and falling into a warm embrace.

Straining her senses, she raised her eyes, a hint of confusion in them, and asked the question that mattered most to her:

How old are you exactly?

"About six or seven years younger than you," Kong Ming'an said softly, his gentle smile as always.

Zhang Lexuan paused slightly, her heart sinking into an even greater shock than before.

Although she had done her research and knew his approximate age, his behavior and demeanor were really not those of a teenager.

To the point that she even began to suspect that perhaps the rumors were deliberately spread by Riyue to groom the other person, and that the other person's real age might not be much younger than hers.

However, the other party's personal admission directly erased her wild thoughts.

“Outrageous.”

Zhang Lexuan uttered two words, but her body leaned against the other person's chest, and she naturally smelled the pure and clean scent on the boy.

Tsk. Now she understands why this guy has so many girls around him at such a young age.

No one could handle this.

Zhang Lexuan closed her eyes resignedly, leaning motionless against the boy's chest, looking as if she had fainted and completely lost her fighting ability.

In a corner of the arena, Ping'er and Fang Yi had somehow ended up sitting together, even exchanging snacks, watching the scene with amusement.

Unfortunately, both of them are support-type Soul Masters. One of them, although a Soul Master, specializes in defense. While they aren't without strength, they are essentially negligible.

They all knew that the outcome of this battle did not lie with them at all, but with their captain/Young Master Kong, so they could just watch the game without worry.

After a moment, Ping'er looked at her captain, who was shrouded in blood mist and then quickly dissipated, appearing to be unconscious. She sighed with a hint of helplessness.

Fang Yi blinked, exchanged a brief glance with Ping'er, and then Ping'er very consciously jumped off the competition platform.

Her own captain is gone, what can a support Soul Master do? She should at least save face.

Thus, the Shrek team was utterly defeated.
