Chapter 98

At the moment both sides revealed their soul skills, everyone originally thought the outcome was already decided, even Zhou Yi on the viewing platform lost confidence. But no one expected that Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, facing two formidable opponents, would not be at a disadvantage at all.

Mu Jin muttered in disbelief, "How, how is this possible? What are they doing? With the speed boost from the Soul Respected Seven Treasures Pagoda, their speed can increase by forty percent! At least they should be equivalent to the Soul Respected level, how can they not defeat their opponents?"

Zhou Yi turned to look at Fan Yu beside her, who had a questioning look in his eyes. Zhou Yi nodded at him. Fan Yu immediately understood, his eyes brightening, and his gaze involuntarily fell back on Huo Yuhao, who had only one white ten-year soul ring and was the least conspicuous among the six people on the battlefield.

"Is it him?"

"Uh-huh."

Yes, it was Huo Yuhao.

Ning Tian was undoubtedly one of the top auxiliary soul masters at his level, and wasn't Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes also one of the top control-type battle soul masters? Although he currently relied on only one soul skill, don't forget that he was fighting against opponents with two and three soul rings! He could use the mental detection sharing to offset the advantage of the Seven Treasures Pagoda's enhancement.

This was the power of a million-year soul ring. With the comprehensive assistance of mental detection and mental sharing, he controlled the entire situation, while Ning Tian only enhanced two individuals.

The battle was temporarily at a stalemate. Although Xiao Xiao blocked Nanmen Yun'er's attacks, she didn't dare to act rashly. Her opponents' speed was too fast. She had already released all three of her Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldrons and was protecting the two of them under Huo Yuhao's mental detection guidance. In fact, she was still in a passive position.

On the other side, Wang Dong's situation was similar. Without breaking out, he could only maintain the status quo and found it difficult to counterattack. After all, his opponents' speed was too fast, and any misstep would give them an opportunity.

A hint of doubt flashed in Ning Tian's eyes, and she subconsciously looked at Huo Yuhao behind Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao's petite figure couldn't completely block Huo Yuhao, and he was also looking at her.

Their eyes met. Ning Tian's eyes narrowed slightly with a cold arrogance, while Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded at her.

Is it him? Ning Tian's heart stirred, and she saw the soul ring on Huo Yuhao's body, which was glowing with a bright white light.

At the beginning of the battle, whether it was her, Wu Feng, or Nanmen Yun'er, they had completely ignored Huo Yuhao's existence. It was no wonder they did so; a seventeen-level Great Soul Master with only one ten-year soul ring, how could he attract the attention of these prodigies?

But as the battle progressed, the observant Ning Tian noticed something was off. She was the first to suspect Huo Yuhao since the start of the freshmen assessment.

A guy with only one ten-year soul ring could become a member of the Shrek Academy? Moreover, his soul ring was always glowing, indicating he was using a soul skill. This couldn't help but make Ning Tian recall that Huo Yuhao had introduced himself as a control-type battle soul master.

What is his soul skill? What is he releasing?

As the thought flashed through her mind, Ning Tian shouted, "Yun'er, attack the one-ring guy behind them."

Just like Huo Yuhao's role in the team, Ning Tian was the brain of their three-person team.

Hearing Ning Tian's words, Nanmen Yun'er suddenly accelerated. However, she didn't directly attack Huo Yuhao or even Xiao Xiao. Instead, she turned around and rushed toward Wang Dong, who was not far behind.

Nanmen Yun'er's current speed was too fast. Although Wang Dong could sense her sudden attack through mental detection, his response was extremely chaotic. Xiao Xiao also couldn't come to his aid in time.

This move fully utilized the advantage of speed, with two people ganging up on Wang Dong.

Nanmen Yun'er and Wu Feng cooperated seamlessly. As soon as she launched her attack, Wu Feng's body suddenly emitted a bright red light, her second soul ring glowing. The dragon fire around her body turned dark red, and her half-body scales became thicker. Her eyes glowed red, and her left hand transformed into a dragon claw.

This was Wu Feng's second soul skill, Dragon's Wrath.

In the state of Dragon's Wrath, her offensive and defensive capabilities instantly increased, and it also enhanced all her other soul skills. The heat of the dragon fire almost instantly increased by a hundred degrees, causing the surrounding air to distort violently.

Nanmen Yun'er also activated her second soul skill. The yellow hundred-year soul ring shone, and as she pounced on Wang Dong, her hands joined together above her head. A crescent-shaped green light blade condensed above her head and slashed straight at Wang Dong.

Her soul skill was the Jade Greenbird. The first soul skill she used earlier was called Jade Green Blade, transforming her arms into blades. This second soul skill, combined with the first, was called Jade Green Slash.

Agile attack-type battle soul masters were known for their speed and attack power. The power of this strike was unimaginable. The green light blade drew a beautiful arc in the air, slashing straight at Wang Dong. More importantly, this strike had a locking effect, making it impossible to dodge.

Two Great Soul Masters simultaneously activated their second soul skills and, with the enhancement of the Seven Treasures Pagoda, ganged up on Wang Dong. This was clearly a decisive move. Once they dealt with Wang Dong, the strong attack-type battle soul master, the remaining Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao would naturally not be their match. This was the utilization of speed, and even knowing what the opponents were going to do, they were still suppressed.

But would Huo Yuhao and his team just sit and wait to be defeated? If it were anyone else, they would have been caught off guard, but Huo Yuhao's team had an advantage. As soon as Nanmen Yun'er launched her attack, they had already predicted the opponents' next move based on her trajectory and the soul power release of her and Wu Feng.

In terms of speed, they were indeed too late, but at this moment, the three of them also responded differently.

Xiao Xiao's eyes narrowed, and she raised her hands in front of her. Her demeanor suddenly changed, and a touch of gentleness appeared on her face. Then, the two yellow soul rings on her body merged into one. The Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron floated above her head, and she held a green jade flute in her hand.

This jade flute was long, with lifelike phoenix carvings on it. Compared to the stability of the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, Xiao Xiao holding it had a more ethereal and fairy-like beauty.

The single soul ring quietly lit up, and a soft melody followed. The melody wasn't particularly pleasant, but it gave a sticky sensation. A layer of green light spread out from Xiao Xiao's body.
