They narrowly avoided the pervasive green powder spreading over the stage...
Seeing this scene, Wong Jin Xi revealed a trace of surprise, "Hiss... So Gu Yue can also control the wind element? I've never seen her use it before!"
Tang Wulin also nodded, "Hmm! I haven't seen it either. Gu Yue must be capable of using other elements as well!"
Gu Yue's Martial Soul, Elementalist, was definitely no weaker in strength compared to his second Martial Soul, Golden Dragon King!
While the opposing team's members were consumed by the green powder, Gu Yue's Beautiful Eyes suddenly became focused...
The next moment, her whole body surged with Soul Power again, quickly condensing a fireball that radiated intense heat above them...
The fireball fell towards the front with a destructive momentum, slowly descending...
"Such amazing element control, such a talent would surely move even the teachers of Shrek Academy, wouldn't it?"
"Although this girl can control many elements for now, as her soul power rank increases, she's bound to weaken each element's strength due to her divided attention in training! That's a big disadvantage!"
"Indeed! Shrek Academy would probably observe her for a while even if they decide to extend an invitation!"
"Stop talking, stop talking. Let's just watch the battle. I wonder how those three students, now restricted in their movement, will deal with this Fireball!"
As the Fireball drew closer, a cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of Shen He and his two teammates...
Lin Ling said with some guilt, "It's all my fault..."
If it had not been for her acting on her own, they would not have ended up in such a predicament!
Shen He took a deep breath and forced a smile, "No need to blame yourself, after all, who could have anticipated that our opponent could control so many elements!"
During the Skysea Alliance competitions, she had displayed at least five different elements!
Mu Ruozhi clenched his teeth and said, "The battle has only just begun! This is just a trivial Fireball, watch me shatter it!!"
As he spoke, his first soul ring lit up...
First Soul Skill, Heaven Opener!
In an instant, the giant axe he gripped erupted in brilliance, growing several times in size, with traces of lightning coiling around it!
At first glance, it possessed an imposing demeanor as if it could split heaven and earth...
After these preparations, Mu Ruozhi looked up at the oncoming Fireball, leaped without hesitation, and swung his axe at it...
When the tip of the giant axe touched the Fireball, there was a thunderous "Boom!!!" and the Fireball exploded instantly, triggering a sea of flames...
The fierce flames immediately ignited the green powder on the battle platform, burning it to ashes.
Mu Ruozhi then landed steadily on the ground, gasping for breath...
Upon closer inspection, one would see that he was not at all harmed...
Shen He asked urgently, "Mu Ruozhi, are you alright?"
Lin Ling also began to say, "The flames just now..."
Before she could finish, Mu Ruozhi shook his head and said gravely, "I'm fine! Such flames can't harm me!"
As his words fell, his gaze scanned the surroundings...
The green powder around them had been completely burned away, relieving their current predicament to some extent!
On the other side, Wong Jin Xi narrowed his eyes, puzzled, "How can this guy be unscathed after being engulfed by the flames at such a close distance?"
The violet hue in Tang Wulin's eyes faded as he retorted, "No... It's probably the effect of that First Soul Skill!"
Within the recent inferno, he used his Purple Demon Eyes and could see everything clearly!
Indeed, that was the case. Before Mu Ruozhi was about to be engulfed by the flames, the lightning on the axe instantly formed a protective barrier, which prevented any injuries.
The Gu Yue at the back said with an icy tone, "Let's attack together now, my elemental attack alone is not enough to defeat them!"
The team in front of her was stronger than she had imagined!
It seemed that their previous victories had not been entirely due to luck!
Hearing this, Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi exchanged glances, both nodding in agreement...
Teacher Xu had not allowed Xie Xie, who was of the agile-attack class, to enter the fray, presumably wanting a quick and decisive battle!
...
The students below, having witnessed the previous stunning scene, commented with smacking lips, "Swinging a giant axe to split the Fireball, that male student has some serious skills!"
"But how come he's not injured? Logically, at such a close range, he should've been burnt, right?"
"Perhaps the Fireball cast by the girl named Gu Yue wasn't as powerful as it seemed!"
"What does it matter if he split the Fireball? In the end, he's still going to lose to the team from East Sea Academy!"
Zhang Yangzi, with his eyes fixed on the duel platform, turned his head to look at Xu Sheng and said, "Teacher Xu, how long do you think it will take for Gu Yue and the others to win this match?"
Wei Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow and interrupted, "What's there to ask? The opponent may have some strength, but it should be hard for them to compete against Wang Jinxi and Tang Wulin!"
Especially Tang Wulin's strength, which was comparable to an Assault-type Soul Master with three rings!
Xu Xiaoyan also nodded in agreement, "Exactly, Teacher Xu must have noticed that the opponent's individual strength isn't strong, which is why he sent them out."
Xu Sheng glanced over at everyone and just smiled without saying a word...
...
Tang Wulin, who had rushed forward, shouted loudly, "First Soul Skill, Coiling!"
Immediately, the first soul ring beneath his feet lit up...
In front of him, dozens of resilient Blue Silver Grass strands reached out toward the opponent...
Mu Ruozhi scoffed and dismissed, "Insignificant Skill, don't embarrass yourself here!"
After speaking, he gripped his axe and struck forward, easily destroying the Blue Silver Grass...
And during that brief interval, Tang Wulin had already closed in, clenching his fist to strike...
Shen He, who saw this scene, felt an inexplicable shock and cautioned, "Mu Ruozhi, be careful! This guy is not simple!!"
After speaking, he tried to move to support his teammate...
But the next second, Wang Jinxi, who had suddenly appeared, blocked his way...
He sneered, "Your opponent is me, you should worry about yourself!"
After saying this, he aimed a ruthless kick...
Shen He, returning to his senses from the daze, instinctively raised his arms to block in front of him...
Immediately, he felt a numbing sensation, and his body was forcibly blasted back to his original position!
Staring intently at Wang Jinxi in front of him, he exclaimed with lingering fear, "Damn it! Such powerful strength..."
Meanwhile, Lin Ling, who had been keeping an eye on Gu Yue's movements, quickly blinked...
But when she looked back to where Gu Yue had been, there was no sign of her...
She exclaimed, "Where... Where did she go?? How did she disappear...?"
Before she could ponder further, a chilling sensation struck her from behind...
...
