Upon seeing the starlight invading incessantly, the pupil holding the Brilliant Golden Wand twinkled with a gleam...
He thought to himself, "Hmph, thankfully Ye Hui had already anticipated that you would do this!"
The next second, only to see the third soul ring at his feet light up...
Third soul skill, Divine Blessing Light!
He once again released a surge of light from his body, raising the wand towards Yuanen Yehui in a sweeping gesture...
However, no unusual phenomena occurred...
When a row of three people were all touched by this starlight, they were forcibly frozen in place...
Seeing this, Xie Xie's pupils shone brightly as he rejoiced, "Great opportunity, take advantage of it now! As long as we can take down those two supports, we still have a chance to win!"
Ye Xinglan also nodded her head and, immediately gripping the Star God Sword in her hand, released her soul skill together with Xie Xie, both charging at great speed towards the support-class Soul Masters beside Yuanen Yehui...
The reason why Yuanen Yehui was so strong was precisely because of the amplification from these two people. If they were to be eliminated first, the former was not invincible!
Behind them, Tang Wulin, sensing something was amiss, inwardly exclaimed, "Purple Demon Eyes!"
His eyes covered by a purple hue, he clearly saw each and every move of Yuanen Yehui, and upon noticing the slightly upturned corner of her mouth, he hurriedly shouted, "Xie Xie, Ye Xinglan, be careful, something's not right!"
No wonder Yuanen Yehui and the others didn't dodge; they probably did it to lure Xie Xie and Ye Xinglan!
Sure enough, Yuanen Yehui, who should have been immobilized by Xu Xiaoyan's third soul skill, moved!
Her amber Beautiful Eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as she controlled the Fallen Angel behind her to swing the Dark Devil Sword, striking decisively towards Xie Xie and Ye Xinglan in front...
"Bang!"
A tremendous collision sound erupted, and Xie Xie and the others, who were forcefully blocking the Dark Devil Sword, felt their hands go numb and a sharp pain kept coming from their chests!
Eventually, they couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, flying backwards and crashing hard onto the ground...
Xie Xie struggled to his feet in a sorry state, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face grim as he coughed, "Cough, cough... so strong!"
Ye Xinglan was filled with unwillingness as she said, "Just a casual strike, and it has heavily injured the both of us! Do we really still stand a chance?"
Despite using all their strength to defend, they were still severely injured!
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan said with a panicked expression, "Why... why? She should have been immobilized by my soul skill, shouldn't she?"
She had just seen with her own eyes Yuanen Yehui touched by the starlight!
Could it be that control-type soul skills were ineffective against Yuanen Yehui?
Gu Yue, having roughly analyzed the situation, explained, "I'm afraid it's because of the support-class Soul Master's third soul skill earlier! It removed the control on Yuanen Yehui!"
Tang Wulin also said with a grim face, "Yes, we should have thought of that. Without any reason, why would that support-class Soul Master use the third soul skill!"
In this confrontation, they had been ruthlessly crushed by Yuanen Yehui in both strength and strategy!
The strongest second-years, and rightfully so!
As for the audience below, they too were causing a tumult with their discussions...
"My gosh, all of this was within Yuanen Yehui's calculations, no wonder they didn't show the slightest intention to dodge the enemy's control-type soul skill just now"
"To be controlled on purpose, using the two teammates to lure the opponents into striking, and then heavily injuring them in one move, brilliant! How much confidence in her own strength must she have!"
"The gap in strength between the two sides was already huge, and now that two of the first-years are heavily injured, failure is just a matter of time!"
"I think this first-year team might as well concede. With the two support-class Soul Masters boosting her, Yuanen Yehui has reached the level of a Soul Emperor! No one can withstand her"
"Yuanen Yehui!! Yuanen Yehui!!"
```
Watching the almost crushing scene on the stage, Wu Dousi clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth, "Is this the strength of the strongest in the second year? It's even more terrifying than I imagined!"
Moreover, she could feel that Yuanen Yehui had not yet used all his strength!
A feeling arose in her heart…
Even if she released her Hell White Tiger, she would not be his match one-on-one!
Yang Nianxia pursed her lips and said solemnly, "If it were us on stage, I'm afraid the result would be the same…"
Xu Yucheng sighed helplessly, "Perhaps, losing to Tang Wulin and the others was the right choice!"
At least, they would not be losing face like this!
Only Zheng Yiran showed a disdainful expression, "Tsk, what's so great about this? It's all because of the two support-class Soul Masters' amplification that Yuanen Yehui's strength is so terrifying. Otherwise, he's just an ordinary four-soul-rings Soul Ancestor," she said.
In her view, ninety percent of Yuanen Yehui's impressive performance was credited to the support-class Soul Masters beside him!
...
Judges' seat!
Wu Changkong, having witnessed all this, sighed with some disappointment, "It seems that this match has already ended!"
If Xie Xie and Ye Xinglan hadn't been injured, there would still be a fighting chance!
But now, defeat was certain!
Xu Sheng also "Hmm"-ed calmly and did not choose to argue…
Even he did not think Tang Wulin and the others had any chance of winning...
This match, Tang Wulin and his team had been completely dominated by Yuanen Yehui from the start, especially given the huge mistake they had just made!
Failure was within the realm of reason!
Academy President Cai raised an eyebrow, "If even Teacher Wu and Teacher Xu say so, it's unlikely there will be any turnaround!"
Upon hearing this, the other teachers immediately agreed in a flattering tone, "President Cai, you see, we said so, the first-year team, even five against three, doesn't stand much of a chance!"
"The outcome has been determined from the start; it just ended faster than we imagined!"
"I suppose Teacher Wu and Teacher Xu must be somewhat disappointed in their hearts. After all, they both have taught these students together," they said.
"What's the big deal? The purpose of this friendly match from the beginning was to warn the first-year students not to be arrogant!"
...
Tang Wulin looked at Gu Yue and the others with a somewhat unwilling gaze and sighed, "Let's admit defeat."
He could tell that all five of them, including himself, no longer had the will to fight...
Dragging it out would mean defeat anyway; it was better to concede proactively!
Upon hearing his words, the others "Hmm"-ed somewhat dejectedly...
Apparently, everyone had been greatly demoralized by the enormous difference in strength.
Seeing this, Tang Wulin took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said to Shen Yi not far away, "Teacher Shen, we admit defeat."
Shen Yi asked again, "Admit defeat? Are you sure?"
Tang Wulin said with a wry smile, "Yes, there's no need to continue this match!"
Shen Yi nodded in understanding and then turned to announce loudly to the crowd below, "As the team from the first-year class has surrendered, the winners of this friendly match are from the second-year class!!"
