Chapter 121.

Wang Feng, also observing from a distance, furrowed his brow as he examined the figure.

"A Soul Emperor…. Zhu Zhuqing might struggle to defeat him..." Wang Feng sighed.

The Emperor team had unexpectedly used such a trump card, he had thought that Qin Ming wouldn't interfere unless there was risk of the members of the Emperor team getting seriously injured.

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing swiftly charged toward Qin Ming, her attack speed producing explosive sounds throughout the arena. Yet, Qin Ming proved himself very capable and as swift as her, effortlessly deflecting the exploding ice fire claws. The mutant Fire Wolf martial soul, a rare and formidable martial soul, endowed his attacks with fire attributes, making them exceptionally potent.

Shortly after, Zhu Zhuqing failed to inflict any harm on Qin Ming as she herself also remained unscathed.

The vast difference in soul power was very hard to overcome. No matter how extraordinary this martial soul fusion skill was, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't surpass the inherent disparity of 30 levels of soul power.

Moreover, this fusion technique granted Zhu Zhuqing the capacity to excel in group combat. In a one-on-one scenario against Qin Ming, its efficacy was severely limited.

After a brief skirmish, Zhu Zhuqing was once again sent airborne, teetering on the edge of the Soul Fighting Platform. It was evident that Qin Ming aimed to thrust her beyond the platform's boundaries, as this was the only way to defeat her as well as Shrek Academy, without causing harm.

The opponent's flames also appeared to be capable of absorbing his own flame. Consequently, Qin Ming resorted to using sheer strength to propel Zhu Zhuqing into the air. What made matters worse was the intense burning sensation he experienced in his hand every time he landed a direct hit.

However, at that critical moment, a figure materialized behind the rapidly retreating Zhu Zhuqing. The newcomer swiftly placed a palm on her back, preventing her from being knocked out from the fighting platform.

"I can't beat him." Zhu Zhuqing sighed, displaying a hint of unwillingness.

"It's alright, I'm here. I'll take care of it." Wang Feng reassured.

It was peculiar to expect them to be evenly matched, after all, they were both Soul Emperors. Wang Feng retracted the Red Lotus, as Zhu Zhuqing's recent exertion had also depleted a substantial portion of his own soul power. Nevertheless, it didn't matter—without utilizing soul power, he still possessed formidable strength.

"Yeah..." Zhu Zhuqing uttered a nearly inaudible acknowledgment. As Wang Feng withdrew the Red Lotus, she gradually also reverted to her original state, her gaze fixed on Wang Feng's advancing form.

Wang Feng advanced slowly toward Qin Ming.

A few more moments later...

When Wang Feng emerged, the hostess, who had been somewhat desensitized by the ongoing battle, suddenly lit up in midair.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it appears that this contest has taken an unexpected turn... It's surprising to see that the last enigmatic key figures from both teams have made their appearance simultaneously!"

"We can observe that these two mysterious figures refrained from engaging in the initial stages of the battle when they first stepped onto the stage. Unexpectedly, they've chosen this moment to make their move!"

Hovering in the air, her expression betraying the hint of excitement, she couldn't resist providing additional information:

"These two enigmatic individuals have recently joined their respective teams on a temporary basis. One on the Emperor team is named Ming Qin, a Soul Master at the fortieth level, with the Fire Wolf as his martial soul. On the side of the Shrek Seven Monsters, the mysterious figure goes by the name of Thor, a Soul Master at the thirty-fourth level, wielding the Red Lotus as his matial soul!"

"Just now, we witnessed a seemingly magical fusion of martial soul between Thor and the girl named Ghost Cat from the Shrek Seven Monsters. This unexpected synergy shifted the balance of the battle, which should have favored the Emperor Battle Team, and suddenly reversed! However, at that point, the Ghost Cat had lost her combat effectiveness. Can Thor overcome Ming Qin?"

"This captivating matchup is finally reaching its most crucial moment!"

Following in Wang Feng's footsteps, the rhythmic sounds of movement slowly echoed.

Observing the battle zone, Flender couldn't help but shake his head. The unfolding events had surpassed his expectations.

The number of participants in the arena was relative and aimed at maintaining fairness. The count was based on the number of registered or entered participants. Typically, it was a 7v7 setup. If there was an additional player present, the opposing team would naturally add one more. Of course, individuals could also register and play alone, but it was an uncommon occurrence.

In this case, the Emperor team had an extra member, and Grandmaster had allowed Wang Feng to participate. However, the condition was that if the individual named Ming Qin remained inactive, Wang Feng wouldn't make a move either.

The identity Wang Feng assumed was naturally the combined one with Zhu Zhuqing, Thor.

"It seems like the Emperor team is trying to counter Xiaofeng?" Grandmaster pondered.

"Xiaofeng's punch had a huge impact on the captain, Yu Tinheng against Rongrong, Qingbao combination, and since Rongrong is one of the Shrek Seven Devils, it makes sense to suspect that this person who had defeated him in a single punch is also from Shrek. But now, it's Thor."

"It's unlikely they anticipated that Wang Feng would register with three identities featuring different martial soul."

Zhao Wuji on the side, grinned and added, "This guy Qin Ming is also a monster from our last batch of Shrek. I'd estimate he's at least level sixty now. However, in this soul-sovereign-level team battle, even if Qin Ming registers temporarily with a false identity, he should only be exerting the strength of a three-ringed Soul Elder and atmost of Soul Ancestor. Yet, the physical prowess of his mutant martial soul even when utilizing only Soul Elder level of strength is quite strong."

"Wang Feng and Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul fusion skills were formidable, but they are more suited for group battles. Plus, it consumed a significant amount of soul power from both of them. At this point, with Wang Feng's soul power running low, he can only rely on physical strength and cannot deploy other forms of martial soul or soul abilities."

In the main battle arena, Yu Tianheng spoke solemnly, "Mr. Qin can only use the strength of a 40th-level Soul Elder. However, he possesses a mutant beast martial soul, complete with fire attribute attacks and exceptional physical prowess. A beast soul master is naturally incredibly powerful."

"But this Thor just utilized the martial soul fusion skill with that Ghost Cat. Soul fusion skills consume a considerable amount of soul power," Dugu Yan observed, eyeing the opponent's figure slowly advancing. "His soul power should be quite depleted at this time."

"But if he is that Captain Monster of the Qingbao combination..."

At that moment, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan exchanged glances, recognizing the mutual terror reflected in each other's eyes.

"Don't be afraid. Even if it's true, Teacher Qin Ming might still have a chance of winning! His physical prowess is also very impressive," Yu Tianheng asserted solemnly.

The physical strength of a 62nd-level Soul Emperor, particularly one with a mutant beast martial soul, meant that even if he only exerted the strength of a 40th-level Soul Elder, he could defeat Yu Tianheng with ease. It was akin to a high-level character entering a novice village, where although only three skills were allowed to be used, the physical attributes and health pool were still that of a high level charcter.

As Wang Feng stepped onto the stage, he glanced at Qin Ming and addressed Tang San, "Go and detoxify them first."

Then, he turned to Qin Ming, who wore a black robe and mask, and posed a question, "Just the two of us, winner wins the whole match?"

Qin Ming remained silent for a while before nodding slightly. He had entered the arena to investigate the so-called accident mentioned by Yu Tianheng. Now that the unexpected situation had occurred, it seemed appropriate to proceed as intended.

The two teams that had fiercely clashed moments ago stepped aside, seemingly preparing the stage for the impending duel between Wang Feng and Qin Ming.

"I wonder how my physical prowess compares to Qin Ming's. It should be significantly superior, after all I was able to go toe to toe with Old Zhao." Wang Feng mused quietly. In the past four months, his physical fitness had seen only marginal improvement, with most gains attributed to enhanced soul power and the use of Black Thorns Armor.

Pure physical prowess could only be accurately assessed through battles against formidable soul beasts, such as the encounters Wang Feng and his team had faced against Er Ming (Titan Giant Ape) and others. Qin Ming, with his mutant beast martial soul, the Fire Wolf, represented a challenge.

"Then let's do it!" The moment Wang Feng's voice resonated, Qin Ming vanished from his place. His speed was very astonishing, leaving only a trail of sparks in mid-air as he launched an attack on Wang Feng.

Wang Feng, without de-activating the Black Thorns Armor, directly engaged with Qin Ming in the initial clash.

"First soul ability, Double-Edged Wolf Srike!" Qin Ming uttered a low voice. Earlier, he had refrained from using soul skills to avoid harming the girl. That time, relying on his exceptional speed and formidable strength, he aimed to launch the opponent without resorting to soul abilities.

However, now was the first instance of him utilizing any soul abilities. Although constrained to only three, it's sufficient against an opponent with less soul power. Furthermore, Qin Ming's instincts hinted that Thor, who had been standing in the background, wasn't to be underestimated.

'Double-Edged Wolf Strike: Flames covers both palms. Each palm's attack power and speed is also increased by 50%.'

With wolf claws formed by the Double-Edged Wolf Strike, Qin Ming swiftly launched several attacks toward Wang Feng.

Wang Feng snorted, a peculiar light flashing in his eyes. Despite the opponent's speed, he effortlessly detected the oncoming attack.

"[Reversal]!"

In a swift response, Wang Feng countered by grabbing the opponent's fiery claws with both hands. Following the trajectory of the opponent's attack, he seemed to draw a circle in mid-air, positioning the two wolf claws directly onto the opponent's own chest.

In that crucial moment, Qin Ming's eyes reflected a flash of surprise and fear. Why did his own moves suddenly used against him? Yet, with extensive combat experience, as the Double-Edged Wolf Strike descended upon him, his second soul ring quickly illuminated.

"Second soul ability, Fire Wolf Armor!"
