And after the effect of Starwheel Shackles had ended, Xu Xiaoyan's Soul Power was completely overdrawn, her face turning extremely pale...
However, when she saw Xu Hui, who had collapsed on the ground in a wretched state, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart...
She knew she had done it, successfully opening a breakthrough in a match with seemingly no chance of winning!
Seeing this scene from the audience, Wei Xiaofeng clenched his fists with excitement, "Well done! Those two idiots who only knew defense definitely didn't expect Xu Xiaoyan's soul skill to take such a turn!"
Xie Xie expressed his doubts, "That guy on the other side should be considered eliminated, right? After all, he was so badly injured by Gu Yue's attack!"
Zhang Yangzi exclaimed with excitement, "As expected, sending Xu Xiaoyan into battle was the right choice; she really delivered in the critical moment!"
Only Xu Sheng, looking at the still-conscious Xu Hui on the ground, narrowed his Beautiful Eyes and said, "No... I'm afraid it's not that simple. Gu Yue did not make the opponent fall into a coma or become incapable of action, so it's not a knockout!"
Gu Yue was still too soft-hearted. In the duel, she didn't ensure that the opponent had completely lost the ability to move before she rashly stopped, which could cause her a lot of trouble!
Just as expected, at that moment, the wretched Xu Hui on the platform struggled to get up from the ground, his face grim as he coughed, "Cough cough... I didn't expect such perfect coordination from you; I underestimated you. But... I am not so easily defeated!"
The last sentence was almost a roar coming through the severe pain.
Seeing Gu Yue spacing out, Tang Wulin immediately reprimanded, "Gu Yue, stop blanking out; don't give this guy a chance to catch his breath!"
However, this warning also snapped Luo Tianhe and Luo Tianzhen to attention. After exchanging a look, they rushed towards Xu Hui as fast as they could...
If they could just protect him, they still had a chance to win!!
Was Gu Yue really caught off guard and spacing out?
Of course not; she had already been secretly gathering a massive amount of earth elements...
Barely visible, just as Luo Tianhe and Luo Tianzhen reached Xu Hui, before they could even use their soul skill...
The ground beneath their feet in a large area suddenly vanished, transforming into a huge crater...
Seeing this unfold, Xu Hui realized too late and exclaimed, "Damn it, we've been tricked!"
But it was clearly too late; caught off guard and losing their gravity, they all fell straight down into the pit...
Right after that, Gu Yue slammed her hands together, and a vast expanse of swamp mud materialized out of thin air, enveloping their limbs and necks, gradually solidifying...
Following this, the three of them on the platform were trapped, with only their heads clearly visible to onlookers; the veins on their foreheads seemed to tell everyone that they were struggling hard...
As for the outcome, it was naturally fruitless; their bodies were completely unable to move an inch under this terrifying Binding!
Seeing Gu Yue successfully control the three, Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan patted their chests in relief...
If Gu Yue's reaction had been just a moment slower, or if she hadn't prepared this backup plan, the outcome of the duel could have been completely reversed!
Tang Wulin immediately said, "You scared me to death! Gu Yue, next time in a duel, it's better not to space out!"
His tone mingled with a touch of reproach...
Gu Yue nodded slightly, whispering, "Mhm!"
She admitted it without changing her expression!
She indeed was surprised that Xu Hui hadn't fainted from her First Soul Skill combined with the Fireball...
```
As for Xu Xiaoyan, there wasn't a hint of blame in her eyes; instead, she blinked her beautiful eyes and explained on behalf of Gu Yue, "Tang Wulin, don't say that. Perhaps all of this was within Gu Yue's expectations, especially that unavoidable huge pit. It must have been planned long in advance, right?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue simply revealed a meaningful smile...
The students below seemed to be stunned, foolishly saying, "We won...we actually won! How...how is that possible? This team couldn't even break through the opponent's defense before!"
"Amazing, it's absolutely amazing! The soul skill of that female student just now could actually bind an opponent with three rings. That's terrifyingly strong!"
"Hahaha! I knew the team of East Sea Academy would create a miracle! I didn't expect to see it so soon!"
"This match, even being completely suppressed, they were still able to win. It's enough to show the strength of East Sea Academy's team, not to mention they only have one 2nd Ring student!"
Some academies couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts and started shouting loudly...
"East Sea Academy!! East Sea Academy! East Sea Academy!!!"
The members of the Skysea Alliance sitting in the spectator stands took a deep breath...
They had never imagined that the final victory would fall to this "pitifully weak" team from East Sea Academy!
One of the members stood up, coughed twice, and then announced loudly, "The three students from Star Luo Academy have lost their ability to move. Therefore, the winner of this match is East Sea Academy!!!"
"The winning team can collect your reward after the competition!"
As for the teachers from Shrek Academy next to them, they were seriously discussing another matter...
"I think we can agree to the request made by Teacher Xu."
"That's right! In fact, even if Teacher Xu hadn't spoken up, the students he has taught have the qualifications to be admitted to Shrek Academy based on the strength of their Martial Souls and abilities!"
"Hmm! When we return to the academy, we can try to endorse them!"
...
After the Skysea Alliance competition ended, the members of Class Zero gathered together after receiving their rewards...
Tang Wulin said excitedly to Xu Sheng and Wu Changkong, "Teacher Xu, Teacher Wu, thanks to you, our Class Zero was able to win the final victory!"
The other Class Zero students also nodded in agreement...
Wu Changkong just glanced at them casually and said indifferently, "I didn't do anything. The victory is due to your own strength. If there isn't anything else, I'll take my leave now!"
With that, he turned and left...
Although he appeared indifferent, he was actually pleased that Class Zero had won...
Xu Sheng laughed lightly and said, "That's right, just as Teacher Wu said, winning the victory still depended on yourselves."
Wei Xiaofeng suddenly smiled and said, "Teacher Xu, I remember you once said that if our Class Zero doesn't use that Three-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill, we couldn't have won!"
On hearing this, Xu Sheng was somewhat at a loss for words...
Indeed, the strength displayed by Class Zero had surpassed his imagination...
