Chapter 368 Winning Streak
"An orange-gold spirit ring like this has never appeared before. Shrek Academy, what a Shrek Academy." Zhongli Wu's eyes were extremely gloomy.
"Such talent, such beauty and figure, if... if I hadn't lost my manhood, how many beauties like this would I have?" Xu Tianran murmured. But as he spoke, his eyes suddenly turned violent.
Although she won the first match easily, Xiao Xiao still took out a baby bottle to recover her soul power on the stage. While recovering her soul power, she waved to Wu Xuan in the audience.
Upon seeing this, Wu Xuan smiled and quickly responded to the other party.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Xu Tianran's face instantly twisted in pain. He had gained another reason to kill Wu Xuan.
The second member of the Mingyu Sect to appear was a pale-skinned young man whose face was deathly pale and who looked sickly.
Zheng Zhan looked at the young man from the Mingyu Sect and said in a deep voice, "Let's exchange names."
"Shrek, Xiao Xiao."
"Mingyu Sect, Ade." The young man from Mingyu Sect had a strange voice, soft and high-pitched. Yet it also gave off a very masculine feeling, completely opposite to the sinister aura he exuded.
"Step back and prepare for the match."
Both sides retreated to the edge of the match and looked at each other from a distance.
"start!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ade's body arched instantly, and his brown eyes turned into a deep blood red. His gaze was like flowing blood, making him look indescribably creepy.
A pair of enormous, illusory wings stretched out behind it, their membranes covered with a layer of fine down, making them look like bat wings.
"An evil spirit master!?" Sensing the strong stench of blood, Xiao Xiao's gaze instantly turned icy cold.
"So what if you're an evil soul master? Today I'll let you, you wild girl, taste the power of an evil soul master." With a gentle flap of his bat wings, Ade's figure soared into the air, like a giant blood-red bat, swooping down towards Xiao Xiao.
In an instant, a terrifying chill permeated the entire area, even freezing the outermost soul-guided shield into ice flowers.
Ad's violent emotions were instantly sobered up by the cold air, and his diving figure visibly slowed down for a moment.
He hesitated, but Xiao Xiao clearly wouldn't miss this excellent opportunity to attack.
As the Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul behind him slowly opened its eyes, dozens of ice spikes flashing with cold light shot towards Ade.
Ad flapped his wings, intending to use his speed and innate perception to dodge the cluster of ice spikes, but it was too late. The sheer chill that filled the entire area was enough to overwhelm him with speed, making it impossible for him to avoid the continuous stream of ice spikes.
Just then, suddenly, Ade let out a sharp shriek, and his second spirit ring suddenly shone brightly.
Second Soul Skill: Fearful Scream.
Xiao Xiao on the ground visibly paused, his mind momentarily halting at the opponent's fierce roar.
Immediately afterward, Ade's claws glowed brightly red, their sharp aura carrying a strong, bloody stench. Judging from his movements, it was clear this was a melee soul tool. With each swing of Ade's claws, the encroaching ice spikes shattered.
At the same time, Ade's fourth spirit ring lit up. A red light and shadow identical to his own body detached from his main body and crashed towards Xiao Xiao like a blood-red lightning bolt.
Four Soul Skills: Blood Shadow Puppet.
Once hit, a portion of the essence contained in one's blood will be stripped away and forced out of the body. As a result, the person hit will naturally become very weak. This soul skill can not only weaken the opponent, but Ade can also use the energy absorbed by the Blood Shadow by fusing with it. With this shift in power, the gap immediately widens.
Seeing the blood-red shadow rushing towards him, Xiao Xiao's eyes remained calm and unwavering. As his fourth-ranked orange-gold soul ring lit up, his right palm instantly became pure white and lustrous like jade.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Emperor's Palm, Great Cold Without Snow!"
A light, effortless palm strike, devoid of any harshness. The instant it landed on the blood-red shadow so close at hand, the entire shadow trembled violently and began to crumble inch by inch.
Adriano's prized trump card was shattered by this seemingly insignificant slap.
Ade, suspended in the air, seemed to have been doused with a bucket of ice water. He froze mid-air, coughing up a mouthful of blood. The crimson light around him vanished instantly. His entire Martial Soul Possession state had mysteriously disappeared.
At this moment, Ade's eyes showed a hint of disbelief, as if he never expected that his fourth soul skill would not only have no effect, but would also become the fuse for his defeat.
Facing Ade, who was falling from mid-air, Xiao Xiao did not use her martial soul skill again. Her left arm instantly lit up with a dark golden light, and her left arm soul bone skill was activated. A large number of dark golden rhomboid light blades flew towards Ade, who had no power to resist.
"Stop!" Zheng Zhan roared, finally realizing something was wrong. A pure white barrier was projected out, attempting to stop Xiao Xiao's killing spree. But it was too late.
"Pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft—Ah~!" With a muffled thud as a sharp weapon pierced flesh, half of Ade's body was instantly riddled with holes because it wasn't stopped by the impenetrable barrier. Amidst painful screams, Ade's body fell from the air like a rag doll under the impact of the force, finally crashing heavily onto the ground of the arena.
The captain of Mingyu Sect, who had remained seated motionless in the main seat of the waiting area, suddenly stood up, and a powerful aura burst forth from his body. However, he was helpless against the powerful protective shield.
"Evil Soul Masters are inherently insidious and unpredictable. What if I don't severely injure them and allow them to recover from their injuries instantly?" Xiao Xiao said calmly, looking at Zheng Zhan's angry expression.
Zheng Zhan stared at Xiao Xiao, his face ashen, at a loss for words. "Did you severely injure the opponent? They were barely clinging to life thanks to my intervention; if I hadn't stopped them, they would have been dead."
Even though he rescued him in time, the other half of Ade's body was riddled with holes, and it was questionable whether he could survive.
They easily defeated their opponents in two consecutive matches. What kind of monsters are the Shrek Academy team members they sent out? And just how powerful must their captain be!
"The match is over, Shrek Academy wins." Zheng Zhan announced without further thought, and then deactivated the outermost soul guide shield.
Before Zheng Zhan could announce the next person to enter the arena, a sharp shriek suddenly rang out. Immediately afterward, a figure appeared on the arena like a black lightning bolt. In a flash of black light, five dark gold fingernails, each over a foot long, suddenly shot out and grabbed at Xiao Xiao.
Before Xiao Xiao could retaliate, a layer of white light appeared, separating the two. It was Zheng Zhan who made the move.
This Unbreakable Douluo was already holding back his anger, and when he suddenly encountered the violation, he was furious. A layer of milky white light instantly swept over and enveloped the black figure. He shouted angrily in a deep voice: "Mingyu Sect violated the rules by attacking the opponent. This match is judged as a surrender."
As he spoke, he waved his right hand, and an invisible force instantly sent the black-clad man, who was the captain of the Mingyu Sect, flying out and throwing him off the competition stage.
Captain Ming Yuzong hadn't expected Zheng Zhan to not only block him but also declare him the loser. As soon as he landed, he swung his arms and leaped back onto the competition platform.
"She crippled my brother." A slightly hoarse yet strangely magnetic female voice rang out from within the black robe. The voice sounded indifferent, yet seemed to be filled with endless killing intent.
