If Wang Dong's Bright Goddess Butterfly martial soul was the most beautiful Beast Martial Soul, then the seven-colored pagoda-shaped martial soul that had just appeared in Ning Tian's hand was the most beautiful among Tool Martial Souls.
Just then, Ning Tian's voice echoed again.
"Seven Treasures, renowned for one: Speed!"
Her first spirit ring immediately lit up, and the deep yellow light swirling around the treasure pagoda made it even more beautiful. Then, two dazzling beams of light shot out from the pagoda, directly hitting Yu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er.
From the beginning of the match, Huo Yuhao had activated his Spiritual Detection Sharing, but he was startled to discover that he couldn't detect Ning Tian's spirit power circulation, nor could he discern how she was casting her spirit skills. This was because the light-filled treasure pagoda in Ning Tian's hand seemed to form a strange layer of fluctuation, protecting Ning Tian within it, and simultaneously shielding Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing.
What kind of powerful Tool Martial Soul was this?
Even more shocking was that when the two beams of light fell upon Yu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er, the situation suddenly changed.
Nanmen Yun'er's hands, which were striking towards Xiao Xiao, suddenly accelerated, even producing a series of continuous afterimages in the air.
If it weren't for Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing skill, Xiao Xiao would likely have suffered a great loss this time. Because the moment Nanmen Yun'er was illuminated by that light, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection had alerted Xiao Xiao, and he, standing behind her, immediately reached out and grabbed her robe, pulling her back. Thanks to this, Xiao Xiao narrowly escaped in the nick of time.
At the same time, Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron martial soul also activated. A black light flashed, and the large cauldron descended from the sky to the ground with a terrifying rumble. Xiao Xiao's first spirit ring also lit up simultaneously: Cauldron Shock!
Since the start of the assessment, Nanmen Yun'er could be said to be the fastest opponent they had ever encountered. Especially under the aura from Ning Tian's treasure pagoda, her speed far exceeded what a Great Spirit Master could achieve; even an Agility-type Spirit Ancestor Battle Spirit Master might not be faster.
And in a situation facing this kind of opponent, the effect of Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing became even more crucial.
Seeing that her previous attack missed, Nanmen Yun'er immediately charged forward again. She was confident that with her speed, she could completely suppress her opponent and easily finish the fight in an instant.
But just as she flew forward, she suddenly felt something was wrong in her heart. She immediately stopped decisively and abruptly. Her body, which was rushing forward, screeched to a halt, stopping mid-motion. Her first spirit ring lit up, and a layer of jade-colored light slowly appeared on her hands. Outwardly, it resembled Wang Dong's Radiant Butterfly Wings, but its power would certainly be a few points weaker.
At the same moment she stopped, the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron powerfully descended, blocking between her and Xiao Xiao.
Seeing this, Nanmen Yun'er intended to continue her attack, but Xiao Xiao's Cauldron Shock had already begun to activate.
A loud rumble echoed, and waves of vibrations swept over her, immediately making her feel dizzy all over.
It could be said that Xiao Xiao's Cauldron Shock, combined with Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing, was truly a control skill full of killing intent. Even with Nanmen Yun'er's speed, she still had to suffer a disadvantage.
After that, the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron immediately shot forward, striking directly at Nanmen Yun'er.
And just as the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron hit the ground, Ning Tian, standing far away, spoke again:
"Seven Treasures have a name, Second: Dispel."
Another beam of light shone directly onto Nanmen Yun'er, and she immediately recovered from her dazed state. She then swiftly retreated, avoiding the attack from the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Ning Tian in surprise, secretly praising her powerful auxiliary spirit and keen judgment. This girl didn't have the spiritual detection ability he possessed, yet she could predict the changes in every detail and didn't hesitate to help her teammates.
From the two spirit abilities she had used, it was clear that one increased speed, and the other helped dispel seals or illusions... thanks to this, her teammates quickly recovered to their best combat state. Both her combat experience and spirit ability power truly lived up to the reputation of a Spirit Ancestor level powerhouse!
While Huo Yuhao was surprised, Nanmen Yun'er and Ning Tian were, one could say, astonished. Of course, this had nothing to do with Huo Yuhao; in the eyes of the two girls, Xiao Xiao was the truly remarkable character. She could quickly retreat in an instant and then unleash a spirit ability, moreover, every movement was executed perfectly, not to mention she easily found Nanmen Yun'er's weakness, forcing Ning Tian to use her second spirit ability. A series of continuous actions made observers look at Xiao Xiao with different eyes.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the battle between Wang Dong and Yu Feng was equally intense.
Both of their spirits were among the highest-grade Beast Spirits. Yu Feng's speed had been increased by Ning Tian, and her attack speed and variations also increased accordingly. She unleashed her first spirit ability: Dragon's Fire.
A deep red flame flew out from her body, continuously swirling around Yu Feng within a meter's radius. Every one of her moves carried the scorching heat of Dragon's Fire, causing Wang Dong no small amount of trouble.
But Wang Dong's combat power was not inferior to his opponent's in the slightest. His second spirit ring was a thousand-year level, and the growth amplitude of his spirit ring was a step above Yu Feng's. Furthermore, the rarity of the Radiant Goddess Butterfly far surpassed that of the Red Dragon. Although Yu Feng's speed had increased, don't forget that Wang Dong also had Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection assisting him! As soon as the Twin Daggers appeared, not only did he not fall into a disadvantage, but on the contrary, with the ability to foresee all situations, he even seemed to have a slight upper hand.
Since completing the spirit fusion with Huo Yuhao, the two had vaguely developed an unspoken understanding. The effect of the Spiritual Detection Shared Resonance surpassed Xiao Xiao's by several times. As soon as the spiritual detection transmitted some information, the Dagger had already been slashed out, so Yu Feng, despite her speed, couldn't do anything. She dared not use her body to block Wang Dong's Dagger. The feeling of having her planned actions anticipated and blocked was extremely uncomfortable, making Yu Feng almost spit blood in anger.
Fortunately, her speed was faster than Wang Dong's, so her moves were also quicker. And while Wang Dong responded with great ease, it was mainly just enough to protect himself. Otherwise, even if he could predict an action, if he couldn't react in time to defend, it would still be more harm than good.
When the two released their Martial Souls, everyone thought the outcome was decided. Even Zhou Yi had lost faith, but unexpectedly, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, fighting against two powerful opponents, did not fall into a disadvantage.
Mu Jin was startled:
"How can this be? What's wrong with those two? Their speed, after being augmented by a Soul Venerate-level Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, should have increased by at least 40%. They should quickly win against opponents of the same level, shouldn't they?"
Zhou Yi and Fan Yu looked at each other. An inquiring look appeared in Fan Yu's eyes, and Zhou Yi immediately nodded. Fan Yu instantly understood and began to focus on observing the person in the arena who only had a ten-year Soul Ring.
"Is it him?"
"Yes."
It was Huo Yuhao.
In battles of the same level, Ning Tian was the best Auxiliary Tool Soul Master, but at the same time, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes also ranked first among Control System Battle Soul Masters. Although he only had one Soul Ring, at this moment, he was not only providing support but also combining with his two teammates to fight. The Spirit Detection Sharing could negate the advantage of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Thanks to the power of his million-year Soul Ring, Spirit Detection Sharing allowed him to grasp the overall situation, while the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda could only help Ning Tian augment and strengthen her two teammates.
The battle fell into a stalemate. Although Xiao Xiao could block Nanmen Yun'er's attacks, she dared not risk an offensive. The opponent's speed was truly too fast. Even though she was currently being supported by Huo Yuhao's Spirit Detection and had split her Three Lives Soul Suppressing Tripod into three large tripods, she could only passively defend both of them.
Wang Dong's situation was not much different. If he didn't risk his life, he could only continue to defend and couldn't counterattack. After being augmented by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, the opponent's speed increased too quickly. Even a slight carelessness would immediately result in a disadvantage.
Ning Tian's eyes showed a hint of doubt as she looked at Huo Yuhao, who was standing behind Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao's petite and delicate figure couldn't completely hide Huo Yuhao, and at this moment, Huo Yuhao was also looking back at her.
Their eyes met. Ning Tian's eyes narrowed, while Huo Yuhao looked at her, nodded, and smiled.
Is it him? Ning Tian was startled and looked down, seeing Huo Yuhao's ten-year Soul Ring glowing.
When the battle first began, all three of them underestimated Huo Yuhao. A level seventeen Soul Master with only one ten-year Soul Ring was truly unremarkable.
But after a period of fighting, Ning Tian noticed something strange. She was also the first person during the new student assessment to begin to doubt Huo Yuhao.
How could a Soul Master with only one ten-year Soul Ring join Shrek Academy? At this moment, his Soul Ring was glowing, clearly indicating he was using a Soul Skill. Ning Tian then remembered Huo Yuhao's self-introduction from before: he was a Control System Battle Soul Master.
What was his Martial Soul? What Soul Skill was he using?
A flash of light appeared in Ning Tian's mind. She softly shouted:
"Yun'er, quickly attack the one standing behind!"
Just like Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian was the core of her group.
As soon as Ning Tian finished speaking, Nanmen Yun'er immediately accelerated, but instead of attacking Huo Yuhao or Xiao Xiao, she turned and headed towards Wang Dong.
Nanmen Yun'er's speed was truly too fast, so Wang Dong could anticipate it through Spirit Detection, but it was still very difficult to block. At this moment, it was too late for Xiao Xiao to come to his aid.
At this moment, the opponent was using their speed advantage to fight two against one!
Nanmen Yun'er and Yu Feng cooperated seamlessly. As Nanmen Yun'er made her move, Yu Feng's second soul ring also flashed. The Dragon Flame turned dark red, the scales on his body became heavy, his eyes glowed crimson, and his left hand had completely transformed into a dragon claw.
This was Yu Feng's second soul skill: Dragon's Fury.
When Dragon's Fury was used, Yu Feng's attack and defense capabilities immediately surged, and other soul skills also received supplementary boosts. The Dragon Heat instantly increased by a hundred degrees, causing the surrounding air to warp.
Nanmen Yun'er also activated her second soul skill. Her yellow hundred-year soul ring flickered, and she raised her hands above her head to form a cross. A verdant light flashed and condensed into a blade, which she swung towards Wang Dong.
Nanmen Yun'er's martial soul was the Jade Green Bird. Her first soul skill was Jade Blade, and her second soul skill combined with her first soul skill to form Jade Slash.
An agility-attack type battle soul master primarily relies on speed and critical strike power. The might of this move was incredibly terrifying. The verdant blade light shot towards Wang Dong in a beautiful arc. This move could focus its attack, making it impossible for the opponent to dodge!
Two great soul masters, aided by the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, simultaneously unleashed their second soul skills, clearly aiming to finish off Wang Dong with a single strike. Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao would, of course, be unable to contend with all three afterward. This was the advantage of speed; even if the opponent knew their actions beforehand, they still couldn't keep up and would be suppressed.
But Huo Yuhao's group did not stand idly by and accept defeat. If it were another group, they would surely be caught off guard, but thanks to Huo Yuhao's assistance, as soon as Nanmen Yun'er initiated her attack, all three had already predicted the opponent's next move.
In terms of speed, they naturally couldn't keep up, so all three responded in different ways.
Xiao Xiao's eyes focused, and she raised her hands. Her entire demeanor suddenly changed, and her face became gentle. Immediately afterward, her two yellow soul rings merged into one. The Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron appeared above her head, and a jade flute appeared in Xiao Xiao's hand.
This jade flute was very long, with a vivid phoenix carved into its surface. If the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron appeared incredibly stable, the jade flute in Xiao Xiao's hand seemed otherworldly and ethereal.
As Xiao Xiao's soul ring appeared, it immediately glowed brightly, and the melodious sound of the flute also rang out. A green halo, centered on Xiao Xiao, began to spread.
