Chapter 97

If Wang Dong's Light Goddess Butterfly soul beast represents the pinnacle of beauty among beast soul beasts, then the pagoda that appeared in Ning Tian's palm is the pinnacle of splendor among tool soul beasts.

Ning Tian's clear voice rang out as the pagoda appeared.

"Among the seven treasures, the first is: Speed." The first soul ring on the pagoda lit up, the rich yellow light making the pagoda even more splendid. Two brilliant rays of light instantly shot out from the pagoda, landing on Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er respectively.

Huo Yuhao had activated his mental detection sharing at the start of the match, but he was surprised to find that he could not detect Ning Tian's soul power circulation or when she would use her soul skills. On Ning Tian's hand, the pagoda with its flowing light had a faint, strange wave that invisibly protected Ning Tian's aura, effectively shielding Huo Yuhao's mental detection.

What kind of tool soul beast is this, to be so powerful?

Even more shocking to Huo Yuhao and his two companions was what happened next. The two beams of light shone on Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er, and the situation changed dramatically.

Nanmen Yun'er's originally slow palms, aimed at Xiao Xiao, suddenly increased in speed, even leaving a series of afterimages in the air.

Without Huo Yuhao's mental detection sharing, Xiao Xiao would have been at a great disadvantage. The moment Nanmen Yun'er was illuminated by the light, Huo Yuhao's mental detection alerted Xiao Xiao. At the same time, Huo Yuhao, standing behind her, grabbed the back of her shirt and pulled her backward, avoiding Nanmen Yun'er's palms.

At the same time, Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron soul beast was activated. A black light flashed, and the large cauldron descended from the sky, landing on the ground with a loud boom. Xiao Xiao's first soul ring also lit up, activating the Cauldron's Shock!

Since the start of the round-robin matches, it could be said that Nanmen Yun'er was the fastest opponent they had encountered. Especially with the enhancement from Ning Tian's pagoda, her speed had completely surpassed the level of a two-ringed soul adept. Even a three-ringed soul venerable-level agile attack soul master would not be much faster.

In such a situation, the role of Huo Yuhao's mental detection sharing became even more important.

Nanmen Yun'er, missing her first attack, immediately charged forward again. In her view, with complete speed dominance, she had the confidence to end the battle in a very short time.

However, just as she charged forward, a sense of danger arose in her heart. She was indeed formidable, stopping her forward momentum abruptly. Her first soul ring lit up, and her hands emitted a bright green light. A thin layer of green light could be seen extending from her palms to her arms, similar to Wang Dong's wing scythes but clearly less powerful.

At the same moment she stopped, the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron landed, separating her from Xiao Xiao.

Nanmen Yun'er intended to dodge and continue her attack, but Xiao Xiao's Cauldron's Shock was activated.

In the intense boom, a powerful shock wave enveloped her body, causing Nanmen Yun'er to fall into a brief dizziness.

It could be said that the combination of Xiao Xiao's Cauldron's Shock and Huo Yuhao's mental detection was an absolute field control weapon. Even with Nanmen Yun'er's incredible speed, she still suffered a disadvantage.

The Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron charged forward, instantly colliding with Nanmen Yun'er's body.

And just as the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron landed with a boom, Ning Tian spoke again from a distance, "Among the seven treasures, the second is: Release."

Another beam of light fell on Nanmen Yun'er, and her originally lingering dizziness was forcibly dispelled. Her body quickly retreated, dodging the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron's attack.

Huo Yuhao glanced at Ning Tian in the distance, secretly amazed. What a powerful support soul beast, and what strong judgment. Without his mental detection, she could judge the changes on the battlefield in the first moment and decisively assist her partner.

From the two soul skills she had displayed, it was clear that her first skill was to significantly enhance her partner's speed, while her second skill was to remove negative effects and seals, returning her partners to their best combat state. Whether in terms of combat experience or soul beast ability, she was worthy of being a soul venerable-level powerhouse!

Huo Yuhao was surprised, but Nanmen Yun'er and Ning Tian were even more so. Of course, their surprise had nothing to do with Huo Yuhao. In their eyes, Xiao Xiao was the powerful one. Rapidly retreating and using soul skills, the position and timing of the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron's landing could be described as perfect, and it perfectly countered Nanmen Yun'er's soul skills. It not only blocked Nanmen Yun'er's sure-win attack but almost counterattacked, forcing Ning Tian to use her second soul skill. This made the two women look at Xiao Xiao with new respect.

On the other side of the battlefield, Wang Dong and Wu Feng's battle was also intense.

Both had top-tier beast soul beasts. Wu Feng, with Ning Tian's enhancement, saw a significant increase in her movement and attack speed, and she also released her first soul skill, Dragon's Fire.

A thick layer of red flames emerged from her body, surrounding her within a foot. Each of her attacks was accompanied by the high temperature of Dragon's Fire, causing Wang Dong considerable trouble.

However, Wang Dong's combat power was no less than his opponent's. His second soul ring was a thousand-year level, and the two soul rings provided even greater enhancement to himself than to Wu Feng. The rarity of the Light Goddess Butterfly soul beast even surpassed that of the red dragon. Although his opponent's speed had increased, don't forget that Wang Dong had Huo Yuhao's mental detection assistance! His wing scythes unfolded, and he not only did not fall behind but also, with his ability to anticipate the enemy's moves, gained a slight advantage.

Since completing the soul beast fusion with Huo Yuhao, the two of them had developed a subtle默契 (rapport). Even the effect of Huo Yuhao's mental detection sharing on Wang Dong was better than on Xiao Xiao. Often, just as the mental detection gave a hint, Wang Dong's wing scythes would slash out. This made Wu Feng feel constrained, clearly feeling that her current state was stronger than her opponent's, yet she could not gain the upper hand. She dared not use her body to clash with Wang Dong's wing scythes. Wang Dong's scythes seemed to know her every move, and his attacks were already waiting for her before she even made a move. This frustration made Wu Feng let out a series of sharp screams.

Fortunately, her speed was still faster than Wang Dong's, and her ability to change tactics was much quicker. Although Wang Dong could anticipate her moves, his main focus was still on self-preservation. Otherwise, even if he could predict the direction of her attacks, if his speed was not fast enough to defend, he would still suffer.
