72 Skysea Alliance Tournament, Part 18
Zhou Hanyou stood her ground in the face of Tang Wulin's charge. She raised her right hand, her three soul rings rising in sync as a thin sleet of icy light surrounded her body. The arena's temperature dropped as waves of glacial mist rolled off her body and her complexion slowly whitened until it was like snow.
On the other hand, Zhou Tian'er's aura was different. The two were clearly born from the same mother, were of the same age, and most likely twins, yet not only was Zhou Tian'ers cultivation lower than her elder sister's, her martial soul was different too. What appeared in her hand was not cold air, but a green ball of light bursting with vitality.
At this time, Bai Yun'er made herself known and suddenly gained wings behind her back, spreading bursts of chilly winds into the arena with every flap.
'Ice and Wood element martial souls.. if this were a normal match then it would be too simple to win.'
Although he thought that, the rest were astonished. No wonder the twins had different hair colors, it must have been done by their differing martial souls!
------------------------
In box one.
"Hanyou and Tian'er are twin sisters, but their differences were apparent since the moment they were born. Despite their parents being average commoners without soul power, their children were incredibly gifted. Hanyou has innate full soul power and the Ice Spirit martial soul. She's the most gifted student we've had in many years. Tian'er is a bit less gifted; she only had rank 8 innate soul power. Still, she has the even rarer wood spirit constitution. Furthermore, the sisters have the mental connection of twins." Zhang Zhenpeng explained the background of his three star pupils.
"Bai Yun'er isn't any worse either, she was born with innate full soul power and has the dominant effect brought about by a dragon type martiaal soul!"
Long Huantian sighed in appreciation. They really are excellent talents! No wonder Zhenpeng was so confident in his request.
Although the strength of a soul master was directly tied to their soul power, quite often it was the martial soul that was more important. A three-ringed soul master with an ordinary martial soul could never catch up to a three-ringed soul master with a peak-level martial soul—the gap was too enormous! These three girls were not ordinary by any means!
----------------------
On the competition stage.
Zhou Hanyou's gaze clashed with Tang Wulin's. She slowly pressed her right palm forward, sending a rippling wave of misted ice at him, obscuring his vision. He could just barely make out her unmoving figure within the mist.
Zhou Tian'er's first soul ring lit up while a soft green light appeared on the ground. Vines grew from the light in an instant and followed her pointed finger to attack Tang Wulin.
Unfortunately, the moment they appeared, the daggers that had been flying her way immediately intercepted them and cut them all down, leaving them flopping on the ground like dead worms.
At this time, Tang Wulin charged forward as his first spirit ring activated, sending his own bind at Zhou Hanyou!
Unperturbed, Zhou Hanyou activated up her first soul ring.
White suddenly dominated Tang Wulin's vision; a wall of ice formed right before him.
Zhou Hanyou's timing was impeccable; the wall appeared just as Tang Wulin's bind was about to reach her.
He would also slam into it an instant later.
There was nothing else Tang Wulin could do. Although his speed was explosive, his control over it couldn't possibly compare with Xie Xie.
However, there was the benefit of not beeing alone!
Gloxinia dove down from above and grabbed onto Tang Wulin, pulling him back in time before he crashed into the wall.
"Thanks!" Not having enough time to say anything else, Tang Wulin thanked him and focused again.
At this time, Xu Xiaoyan made herself known and sent her starwheel flying at Lu Xiao who was under the attack of the daggers, accurately hitting her neck and sending her stumbling!
Gu Yue also didn't let this opening go by and followed up with a fireball, accurately exploding on Lu Xiao's head and knocking her out!
1 down, 4 to go!
At this time, Xie Xie suddenly let out a piercing cry, he was sent flying out of the arena by Wang Dongqi!
Of course, Gloxinia had seen this and could save him from falling off the arena, and keeping their 1 member lead.. However, this was the match that would decide his future, thus he chose not to save him.
It was now a four versus four! However, it was more like a four versus three, as Xu Xiaoyan could not help much if it wasn't night time!
At this point, it seemed like Wang Dongqi and Bai Yun'er had noticed that she was the weakness and decisively targetted her with attacks, sending thunder and ice flying at her!
Gu Yue went forwards and swept her hand at the attacks, responding in kind by sending out her own ice and creating a wall of earth!
This effectively blocked both ranged attacks!
Unfortunately, Wang Dongqi and Bai Yun'er never planned to take out Xu Xiaoyan with only ranged attacks, as mere seconds after the smoke from the attack collision dissipated, they both appeared next to Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue!
Bai Yun'er sent a punch flying at Xu Xiaoyan while Wang Dongqi slashed at Gu Yue, making her focus on her rather than protecting Xu Xiaoyan.
The distraction was successful and Bai Yun'er managed to send out the physically weak Xu Xiaoyan flying out of the arena!
At the same this was happening, the fight between the Zhou twins and Gloxinia and Tang Wulin was still going on!
Tang Wulin rushed forward at his opponent and activated the Dragon Claw's crushing effect, crushing every ice wall sent his way!
Basquias on the other hand, kept fighting against Zhou Tian'er's vines and cutting them down, at the same time, they kept on growing and growing, making it seem like an even fight!
-----------------------------
Box 7
In box 7, Wu Zhangkong furrowed his brows. There was something wrong with this match, his students were for some reason doing worse than usual..
"Haha, Brother Wu it seems like your students are stopping here," the lady from before was similarly in box 7 and took the chance to tease Wu Zhangkong.
"However, they have already done well enough, you should be proud!"
Hearing her, Wu Zhangkong sent a chilly glance at her and got back to his thoughts.. There was something wrong with this match, however he couldn't tell what!
