Chapter 108 Ye Nanxiao's Strange Soul Tool
Shrek Academy's formation featured Ma Xiaotao at the front, flanked by Dai Yueheng and Ye Nanxiao, with Bei Bei in the middle, and Xu Sanshi positioned in front of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. ✊💚 ඏ☆
On the Xingluo National Academy side, six people stood in a triangle, one in front, then two, then three, with only Princess Jiujiu standing at the very back.
The gold in her eyes began to intensify, and she exuded a strong fighting spirit.
Xu Sanshi looked at Xu Jiujiu with ill intent, his fists clenched, making a grinding sound.
Having watched the previous matches, Xu Jiujiu frowned slightly as he looked at Xu Sanshi, clearly wary of this skill.
"The match begins!" announced the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, and as soon as he finished speaking, he vanished without a trace.
Both sides reacted quickly, releasing their martial spirits immediately.
A golden light shone from Princess Jiujiu's forehead. It was a rhombus-shaped golden gem. As soon as the golden rhombus appeared, it burst out with dazzling golden light and then separated from her forehead. It floated and was surrounded by golden light. A magnificent crown appeared above her head and then slowly fell down and landed on her head.
"It's quite beautiful," Ye Nanxiao exclaimed.
"Watch out for the fight." Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes at Ye Nanxiao.
Ma Xiaotao agreed with Ye Nanxiao's statement, but Xu Jiujiu was the core of the opposing team, so she couldn't be careless.
Xu Jiujiu had five spirit rings rising from his body: two yellow, two purple, and one black. The rest of the Xingluo members also had five spirit rings.
Seeing this, Wang Yan became a little nervous. The Star Luo team was a team composed entirely of Soul Kings.
Xu Sanshi raised his shield high, the light of his Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield pointing directly at Xu Jiujiu, and deliberately shouted, "Xuanming Replacement!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu frowned, her star crown shone brightly, and her third soul ring lit up, sending a powerful golden beam of light soaring into the sky.
The interior of this golden pillar of light is completely covered by a golden mist, with starlight swirling and rising within it, making it look extremely strange. From the outside, it is impossible to discern the function of this soul skill.
Xu Sanshi chuckled mischievously, "Just kidding."
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng charged ahead, while Ye Nanxiao left behind a soul skill clone and a tripod-shaped soul tool, following behind Ma Xiaotao.
Xu Jiujiu's eyes narrowed, and he gave Xu Sanshi a cold look. The golden star crown on his head shone brightly, and the golden mist that had risen earlier quickly spread out, enveloping the other six people on his side.
Instantly, every member of the Star Luo National Team was enveloped in a layer of gold, and the golden halo around Princess Jiu Jiu's body did not dissipate, with starlight still surging out from her star crown.
"Birds and Ice Pillars." Although I don't know what the effect of Xu Jiujiu's soul skill is, I'll still try to find out first.
Ma Xiaotao flapped her phoenix wings and soared into the sky amidst blazing phoenix flames.
Ma Xiaotao launched her attack much faster than Ye Nanxiao. Her first spirit ring flashed, and she unleashed a burst of phoenix fire, targeting a spirit king directly opposite her.
Huang Heyun's martial soul is similar to Dai Yueheng's. A dense black aura swirls around his body, his figure swells, solid muscles bulge, and a black "king" character appears on his forehead—the Dark Demon Tiger martial soul.
The starlight lingered on Huang Heyun's black soul power, merging into it and turning the black into a dark gold, causing Huang Heyun's body to swell once more.
Huang Heyun roared to the sky, his first soul ring flashing, and he punched Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Fire Line, unleashing a dark golden semi-circular shockwave with a diameter of over one meter in the air.
At the same time, Ye Nanxiao's attack arrived, but Huang Heyun ignored it. Golden mist gathered around him and blocked the attack.
Although Ye Nanxiao only used 60% of his strength in his attack, the moment the ice bullets encountered the golden mist, the golden mist emitted tiny sparks that completely dissolved the ice bullets.
Seeing that the attack was easily neutralized, Ye Nanxiao roughly guessed what the effect of Xu Jiujiu's Star Crown was. The icy mist on his body spread and slowly extended to the Star Luo team, which was shrouded in Xu Jiujiu's golden light.
Dai Yueheng was entangled by Dugu Shangshan, the second-ranked offensive-type Soul Master on the opposing side. Dugu Shangshan's Martial Soul was the Netherworld Mad Lion. Although it was inferior to the Evil Eye White Tiger in terms of strength, it had a long-lasting amplification effect. Dugu Shangshan used the price of injury to keep Dai Yueheng entangled.
At the same time, gusts of blue whirlwind constantly interfered with Dai Yueheng's attacks.
The shockwave unleashed by Huang Heyun directly pierced through Ma Xiaotao's soul skill, surprising Ma Xiaotao.
Before Ma Xiaotao could launch another attack, Huang Heyun's third soul ring flashed, and he crouched down slightly. Then, dark golden soul power surged out with a tiger's roar, and he transformed into a black tiger and pounced on Ma Xiaotao.
As the Soul Emperor of Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao possessed an incredibly rich foundation. With a phoenix flame ignited in her right hand, she shattered Huang Heyun's first soul skill with a single palm strike. Empowered by the Phoenix Reborn in Fire, a loud phoenix cry rang out, and her fiery wings suddenly unfurled, illuminating the arena with intense flames.
In that instant, Ma Xiaotao transformed into a fire phoenix, and the blazing phoenix flames suddenly intensified from fiery red to incandescent white.
The sudden surge in temperature instantly turned the demonic tiger image on Huang Heyun's soul skill into ashes, forcing Huang Heyun to cross his hands in front of him to resist the intense heat.
After the collision, Ma Xiaotao realized something was wrong. The opponent's soul power contained many tiny golden specks of light, which would explode continuously, weakening Ma Xiaotao's attack.
Ma Xiaotao instantly recalled the description of the Star Crown and wanted to tell Ye Nanxiao and the others, but at this moment, a thick golden light merged into Huang Heyun's body, greatly increasing Huang Heyun's momentum, and he attacked Ma Xiaotao.
Chen Xiaojie, a speed-type Soul Master in the Star Luo team, possesses the Martial Soul Electric Falcon, which is extremely fast. He constantly looks for opportunities to try and kill Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong out of the arena.
However, Bei Bei, who was guarding Huo Yuhao, gave him no chance. The dense lightning and the ever-present hidden weapons formed an impregnable defense.
Ma Xiaotao spewed out a mouthful of incandescent flame, but before the flame could even touch Huang Heyun, it was absorbed by a member of Xu Jiujiu's team.
Ma Xiaotao was shocked. A fire-controlling soul master!
Besides Xu Jiujiu, there were two female Soul Masters among the seven, one a fire controller and the other a wind controller. It was the fire controller Soul Master Yi Chen who attacked Ma Xiaotao, while Wang Shiying behind her kept disrupting the battlefield.
With the amplification and protection lasting for a long time, the two used their soul skills without regard for the cost.
Xu Jiujiu smiled as he watched Ma Xiaotao, who was being tightly entangled by Huang Heyun. He waved his hands in the air, and golden light continuously flowed into the bodies of Huang Heyun and Dugu Shangshan, supporting the two of them in holding back the two Soul Emperors of Shrek Academy.
Huang Heyun and Dugu Shangshan's tactic was to trade injuries for injuries, thus holding off Shrek Academy's two Soul Emperors and allowing their own team to seize the opportunity to defeat Huo Yuhao and the others first.
Ma Xiaotao hadn't suffered a loss in a long time, especially against a Soul King. His eyes flashed with fire, and the phoenix flames on his body turned incandescent. He slapped Huang Heyun back with one palm, but the flames on his body were constantly being drawn away.
The feeling of being unable to exert her strength made Ma Xiaotao feel irritable.
There was another Soul Master in front of Xu Jiujiu. She wasn't worried about Ye Nanxiao. The first Soul Ring above the Star Crown flashed, and a ring of starlight quickly spread out, sweeping past Huo Yuhao and the others. The figures of Huo Yuhao and the others turned into starlight and were imprinted in Xu Jiujiu's eyes.
"Millennial Ice Prison!" Ye Nanxiao's second soul ring flashed.
Huang Heyun, who was slammed into the ground, felt a bone-chilling cold. He was trapped in an ice prison. He punched the ice prison hard, but the ice prison only cracked and did not break.
Ma Xiaotao got a chance to catch her breath and quickly created some distance.
Dai Yueheng punched Dugu Shangshan away, but Dugu Shangshan was trapped in Ye Nanxiao's ice prison.
"Thanks, Nanxiao."
Dai Yueheng used his third soul skill, Flash, and combined it with the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, delivering a punch to Dugu Shangshan's face just as Dugu Shangshan shattered the ice prison.
"So Ye Nanxiao is the most crucial one after all?" Xu Jiujiu muttered to herself. At the same time, a ball of golden light was thrown from her hand. It was definitely not a soul skill. The golden light flashed and collided with Ma Xiaotao's terrifying phoenix flames that soared into the sky.
Ma Xiaotao was furious. She hadn't gained much of an advantage in her clash with a Soul King, and after Ye Nanxiao helped her, she was suppressed.
A feeling of suffocation came over her, and Ma Xiaotao flapped her phoenix wings and retreated quickly, but the golden light seemed to lock onto Ma Xiaotao and instantly suppressed her.
At the top of the golden light shield was a bead with 108 cross-sections, its light flowing. This bead was about the size of a fist and was now flashing with brilliant light and spinning rapidly. Ma Xiaotao, trapped inside, immediately launched a frantic attack on the light shield in front of her, but she only managed to create ripples and could not destroy it at all.
The Shrek team was taken aback. Ye Nanxiao kept an eye on the surrounding battlefield. Beibei couldn't help for the time being because the speed of the attack was too fast. Unless they were in Ye Nanxiao's domain, they couldn't aim at their targets.
Two members of Xu Jiujiu's team quickly assembled several fixed-mount soul-guided cannons, and beams of soul-guided rays carrying golden mist blasted towards Huo Yuhao and the others.
Xiao Ye No. 1 stood behind the tripod-shaped soul tool, twisting his hands on the soul tool while pressing a battery into it.
The soul tool rapidly transformed and grew, its three legs piercing into the ground. The outer shell at its center cracked open, and a cylindrical object flashing blue light rose up, with two sticks with small beads at their tips extending from its head.
A small tower quickly transformed, with two pillars at the top emitting a strong white light. The cylindrical part began to rotate rapidly, emitting a series of booming sounds.
As the soul-guided rays approached, they were all drawn to the small tower, changing direction in mid-air and heading straight for it.
The cylindrical components absorbed the soul-guided rays, and the various colored lights flowed along the tower and merged into the ground.
Xiao Ye No. 1 quickly retreated, and at the same time took out an identical small tower and stuck it into the ground to begin installation.
Xu Jiujiu's smile froze, his mind filled with doubt. "What kind of soul tool is that?"
Xu Jiawei's expression was serious. When he saw Ye Nanxiao's soul tool unleash its power, he gently raised his hand, and two men dressed in court attire quietly appeared behind him.
"Go to Juxing Hall later and fetch Elder Luo," Xu Jiawei said, his gaze fixed on the small tower that intercepted the soul-guided ray.
Wang Dong floated behind Huo Yuhao, whose eyes gleamed with a faint golden light, and whose left hand rested on his waist.
Having averted the crisis for his team, Ye Nanxiao's fourth spirit ring flashed. He raised his right hand, palm up, and a huge ice flow ring appeared in his hand. At the same time, Little Ye No. 2 appeared behind Ye Nanxiao.
"A quick victory is all that's left in Ye Nanxiao's mind." His first spirit ring lit up, and the complete version of the flock of ice pillars erupted.
Under the cover of the flock of birds and ice pillars, Xiao Ye No. 2 conjured ice blades with both hands and quickly approached Xu Jiujiu's direction.
"Dai Yueheng!" Ye Nanxiao roared, and swung the Ice Flow Ring in his hand at Dugu Shangshan.
"Understood!" Dai Yueheng roared back, his fifth spirit ring flashing, his aura surging, and the figure of a demon god vaguely appeared behind him.
Despite enduring Wang Shiying's attacks from Xu Jiujiu's team, Dai Yueheng still managed to land Dugu Shangshan's attacks on his hard pectoral muscles, and punched Dugu Shangshan back.
Dugu Shangshan didn't have time to retaliate and was hit by a punch. He immediately groaned and staggered backward.
After throwing a punch, Dai Yueheng suddenly dropped to the ground. The icy ring, whistling with intense cold, grazed Dai Yueheng's back and flew towards Dugu Shangshan.
As soon as Dugu Shangshan regained his footing, he looked up and saw the Ice Flow Ring flying right in front of him. The intense, bone-chilling cold made it impossible for Dugu Shangshan to react.
"It's over." That was Dugu Shangshan's only thought.
Wang Shiying's soul skill was completely unable to stop Ye Nanxiao's Ice Flow Ring; the cold air emitted by the Ice Flow Ring directly broke through Wang Shiying's soul skill.
The Ice Stream Ring slammed into Dugu Shangshan, sending him flying. The Ice Stream Ring made a whistling sound, and an explosion carrying ice mist was produced.
As the icy mist dissipated, it became clear that Dugu Shangshan had been transformed into an ice sculpture, his face still bearing an expression of terror.
Tian Sha Douluo flashed twice, and Dugu Shangshan had already taken him in his hand, announcing expressionlessly, "Xingluo, Dugu Shangshan, out of the game."
Xu Jiujiu's expression was not good. They had already trapped the opponent's strongest fighter, but their second strongest fighter was eliminated.
Dai Yueheng and Ye Nanxiao exchanged a glance, their eyes brimming with fighting spirit. Dai Yueheng let out a tiger's roar, his gaze fixed on Xu Jiujiu, a wicked smile on his face.
Off the field, the moment Ma Xiaotao was subdued, Wang Yan's eyes widened in surprise, and He Caitou next to him suddenly stood up, "Absolute defense soul tool, they're using a level seven soul tool!"
Wang Yan hurriedly asked He Caitou for information about the absolute defense soul tool, and then his expression turned ugly.
Wang Yan's expression eased somewhat when Ye Nanxiao's soul tool worked in conjunction with Dai Yueheng to eliminate one of the opponent's powerful attack-type soul kings.
Ye Nanxiao charged towards Ma Xiaotao, stepping on the floating ice floes, an ice blade already taking shape in his hand.
He pulled out a cone-shaped soul tool from his hand, slapped the handle at the bottom of the cone, and the cone split into three metal pieces.
After the "Demon Slayer" in his hand fully opened its "mouth", it pinched one of the beads.
Soon the handle of the "Demon Slayer" lit up with a red light, and streams of electricity flowed to the bead, causing the golden light on the bead to slowly dim.
"A level seven soul tool! It must have been given to me by Xu Jiawei!"
"Demon Breaker" is a defensive soul tool developed by Ye Nanxiao specifically for shield-type devices. It was manufactured in collaboration with Fan Yu and is currently in the experimental stage. It is a level six soul tool, but it cannot break through the soul tool in Xu Jiujiu's hands for the time being.
After carefully examining the soul tool that was trapping Ma Xiaotao, Ye Nanxiao gave up on the idea of cutting it apart, as it would take too much time.
He mouthed to Ma Xiaotao, "Wait for me here."
Ma Xiaotao withdrew her phoenix flames, nodded, and looked at Ye Nanxiao's back. A smile appeared on her lips as she murmured to herself, "It feels so good to have someone to rely on."
A huge thank you to all the readers who voted for me every day! The updates have been getting later and later lately, which I find frustrating. I'll try to write through the night after my exams. The early part of the story is already halfway through. This book is for you all to read for free, and it's also something I wrote to fulfill a wish. I will finish it. Thank you again to all my readers, especially those who have been with me all this time. I'm deeply grateful.
