Chapter 351: Ning Fengzhi’s Satisfaction and Zhu Zhuqing’s Stealth

Unfortunately for Shui Bing'er, her initial strategy to restrict Dugu Yan failed—Dugu Yan's level was significantly higher. As soon as Dugu Yan sensed the incoming danger, she immediately activated her fourth soul skill, Jade Phosphor Mirage, which boosted her speed by 300% and allowed her to split into five afterimages. One of these afterimages remained in place as a decoy, perfectly overlapping her real body and tricking Shui Bing'er into thinking her control skill had succeeded.

Although Dugu Yan managed to evade the attack, she looked with frustration at two teammates who had been frozen in place. She'd warned them not to underestimate their opponents!

"Yufeng, Oslo, break free from the ice quickly! Increase your speed—this soul skill is instantaneous, and you'll be frozen if you're too slow!" Dugu Yan ordered sternly.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan had no concerns. Zhu Zhuqing's task was to strike from the rear, so she had already boosted her speed to the maximum and was flanking from the left.

She called to her support, "Shimo, Shimo! Protect Rongrong at all costs!"

"Yes!" the two replied firmly.

Shui Bing'er's Ice Seal soul skill was indeed troublesome, but in the meantime, Ning Rongrong, observing from the rear, immediately cast her auxiliary abilities, strengthening Zhu Zhuqing, Oslo, and Yufeng with the apt support they needed: "Strength, Speed, Soul, Defense!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong's flawless execution, Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up in approval. Su Ming was right—Rongrong had mastered her multi-focus control to a level that allowed her to provide customized support, greatly conserving her soul power.

Thanks to her buffs, Yufeng and Oslo quickly broke free of the ice. They felt a bit embarrassed, with Yufeng promptly taking to the air and Oslo activating his third soul skill, Ghost Panther Transformation, to boost his speed and flank from the opposite side.

As for the front line, Dugu Yan was firmly in control, ensuring that Tianshui Academy's power-attack soul masters couldn't break through her defenses. Her poison was formidable!

Once her teammates had freed themselves, Dugu Yan wasted no time in activating her first soul skill, Jade Phosphor Poison! Her Jade Phosphor Serpent spewed a steady stream of green poison mist across the center of the field, enveloping Tianshui Academy's front three.

Realizing the danger, Shui Bing'er ordered, "Fall back! Xue Wu, Rain Dance! Yue'er, Extreme Cold Tornado! Try to blow away that poison mist!"

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing had already approached from the side and was moving in to strike the backline. Sensing this, Shui Bing'er didn't hesitate to activate her third soul skill, Repelling Ice Ring, creating a shockwave that pushed back anyone nearby and inflicted frost damage.

Both Oslo and Yufeng were forcefully repelled, but to Shui Bing'er's surprise, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have vanished!

Su Ming, watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but smile. This was the first time Zhu Zhuqing had deployed this particular soul skill in combat—now they'd see just how effective it was.

Although Su Ming doubted Tianshui Academy would use their fusion skill in this friendly match, Zhu Zhuqing's sole mission was to neutralize Xue Wu, the opposing team's support, which she was well on her way to accomplishing.

Ning Fengzhi, noticing Zhu Zhuqing's disappearing act, remarked to Su Ming, "Your friend's soul skill is quite remarkable; even I was momentarily taken aback by her sudden disappearance."

Su Ming replied casually, "Zhu Zhuqing was lucky—this skill complements her traditional agility and stealth-type attack style well. But to someone like Grandpa Jian, her invisibility would hardly be an issue, right?"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin nodded, "This young girl's soul skill is indeed excellent. However, with her current power level, her aura is not completely concealed, and I can easily sense her. But when she reaches Titled Douluo level, her assassination skills will be fearsome, perhaps even surpassing those of certain specialists within the Spirit Hall."

Ning Fengzhi added, "Rongrong's fortunate to have such a teammate. With this skill, as long as she doesn't actively engage, even Soul Kings or Soul Emperors wouldn't detect her presence. And once she strikes, it'll mean trouble for whoever's her target!"

Meanwhile, Dugu Bo's focus was on his granddaughter, Dugu Yan. Her spirit evolution had unexpectedly altered her abilities, and he couldn't help but feel a touch of jealousy. Watching her battle, he felt deeply gratified, though he found it hard to believe that her spirit evolution had changed her skills so significantly.

As the battle continued, Zhu Zhuqing was startled by Shui Bing'er's Repelling Ice Ring, which had nearly forced her out of hiding. But she reacted quickly, activating her fourth soul skill.

Now cloaked in invisibility, she quietly stalked her target, knowing Shui Bing'er couldn't keep her defensive skill active indefinitely. Her strategy was to wait for the perfect moment to strike and throw her opponents into disarray.

Shui Bing'er remained calm and instructed her team, "Everyone, regroup! Xue Wu, center position! Stay alert and focus on dispersing the poison mist first!"

Following her lead, the remaining four members of Tianshui Academy gathered, shielding Xue Wu. Unfortunately, the other three members, caught in the poison mist, were already beyond saving.

Shui Bing'er barely had time to order her team to disperse the poison mist before the three caught in the fog were mysteriously flung out of the arena, their condition unclear.

Earlier, Dugu Yan, while unleashing her first soul skill, had hidden several small green snakes within the mist, setting up for her second soul skill, Jade Phosphor Venom Fang. Those who were bitten by the snakes suffered temporary blindness and paralysis, causing them to be thrown out without even understanding what had happened.
