By the time each contestant had released their Martial Soul, the words "Begin the duel" rang out...
Immediately, Gu Yue released her Soul Power and began to control the surrounding fire elements to swiftly converge above her head, forming a gigantic Fireball that radiated intense heat, and hurled it towards Wu Dousi and her teammates...
Upon seeing this, Xu Yucheng's first soul ring lit up...
Barely visible, his Reaper's Scythe began to exude a Youming hue, looking extremely eerie...
Clenching it, he said disdainfully, "A mere Fireball poses no threat to us; I will go and slash it!"
Yang Nianxia exclaimed, "No... something's not right, look closely! Those are three Fireballs!"
Indeed, the initially massive Fireball had split into three smaller ones en route, approaching from various directions...
Surprise flickered in Zheng Yiran's beautiful eyes. Regaining her composure, she scoffed, "Fireballs are just Fireballs. Even if there are three, so what!"
Having said that, Xu Yucheng, Zheng Yiran, and Yang Nianxia exchanged a glance and dashed towards the three Fireballs, aiming to shatter them mid-air...
Little did they know, all of this was within Gu Yue's expectations...
As they approached the Fireballs, Gu Yue thought to herself, "Fell right into the trap!"
The next second, she gathered the wind element once more, causing a roaring gale to rise around her, not only enhancing the Fireball's power but also triggering its explosion...
With loud "Bang!"s, the fierce explosions rang out in succession, leaving several streaks of brilliant fireworks in the sky...
Taken by surprise, the impacts sent Xu Yucheng and the other two flying back several meters, looking extremely disheveled. They all sustained minor injuries...
Clutching her chest, Zheng Yiran stared daggers at Gu Yue in the distance, "Damn it... That Gu Yue is asking for death!"
Xu Yucheng also wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, speaking gravely, "I didn't expect her to be able to detonate it early. We really underestimated her!"
Yang Nianxia took a deep breath. "To think her attack could split up like that... Gu Yue really held back in previous duels! We must be more cautious now!"
At the forefront, Wu Dousi, with her icy gaze, gave them a sidelong glance and cursed internally, "A bunch of trash!"
To be injured by such tricks, they were vastly overestimated!
On the other hand, Xie Xie and the others were overjoyed, "Gu Yue, well done! Teach these people who dare to look down on us a lesson."
Xu Lizhi, using his Soul Power, produced several Buns and commented, "Already suffering minor injuries before the duel truly starts, what a good beginning!"
Tang Wulin's pupils tightened, and he nodded, "Right... Let's stick together as much as possible. One on one, we may not be their equals."
However, at that moment, Wu Dousi's first soul ring lit up...
First soul skill, Hundred Hell Claws!
The sharp claws of the Hell Spiritual Cat behind her suddenly manifested layers of blurry phantoms, and upon hitting her opponent, would inflict a hundred slashing strikes!
Immediately, locking onto Gu Yue at the rear, she charged at her like a phantom...
Seeing this, Xie Xie said coldly, "Hmph! Want to get past? Get through me first!"
Being the only agile-attack class Soul Master in the team, he was the only one who could keep up with Wu Dousi's speed!
His first soul ring lit up instantly...
First soul skill, Light Dragon Dagger...
Anticipating Wu Dousi's trajectory, he resolutely positioned himself in her path...
Wu Dousi, upon seeing Xie Xie in front of her, revealed a look of scorn, "Overconfident fool!"
The next second, the two collided...
The strength of a Soul Ancestor was not something a Soul Elder could easily withstand; Xie Xie was forcefully repelled several meters, his arm now bearing several blood-stained claw marks...
In his heart, he muttered to himself, "So strong!"
Meanwhile, Luo Guixing, who had been paying close attention to the situation, shouted loudly, "Wu Dousi!"
At the same time, the third soul ring at his feet lit up...
Third soul skill, teleportation!
Upon hearing these words, Wu Dousi instantly understood his intention...
The space in front of her began to twist, swallowing her whole and making her disappear from sight...
Even the aura of her Soul Power had completely vanished, making it impossible to determine where she might reappear!
Tang Wulin watched Luo Guixing's emerging smile and quickly warned in a loud voice, "This is Luo Guixing's third soul skill, it has teleporting abilities! Everyone be careful."
The first to hear this, Ye Xinglan immediately turned her gaze towards Gu Yue and said anxiously, "This is bad! Her target is Gu Yue!"
The entire contest still required Gu Yue's control; thus, she absolutely could not be eliminated!
As expected, just as Ye Xinglan's words fell, Wu Dousi's figure had already silently appeared behind Gu Yue...
With a cold shout, she declared, "Gu Yue, it's over for you!"
Her sharp claws, gleaming with a cold light, quickly tore towards Gu Yue's back...
However, just as they were about to touch her, Gu Yue, with her back to Wu Dousi, curled one corner of her mouth into a smile...
Gu Yue had long anticipated that Wu Dousi would use Luo Guixing's teleporting soul skill to launch a surprise attack on her!
With a thought, ripples spread through the space around her, and just like the step before, she teleported behind Wu Dousi...
Drawing near, she said with a scoff, "Wu Dousi, no matter how fast you are, can you be faster than my teleporting?"
...
Not far from the contest stage, Yue Zhengyu suddenly stepped out, looked at the woman with cherry pink hair who was intently watching the contest, and teased, "Yuanen Yehui, I never thought you'd take the initiative to watch a first-grade contest. Could it be that you're afraid of them?"
He had no interest in a first-grade contest at all!
Of course, except for that student named Wu Dousi!
Upon hearing his words, Yuanen Yehui let out a cold "humph," and responded indifferently, "Yue Zhengyu, what does it have to do with you?"
Although she had fought alongside Tang Wulin and the others, she did not believe that a first-grade team could defeat the team she led!
Yue Zhengyu's lips curled up, "It's naturally related; if you guys lose in a friendly match, it would disgrace the entire second grade!"
That statement made the killing intent in Yuanen Yehui's beautiful eyes grow intense, "You, are you looking for death?"
She didn't want to provoke someone from the Holy Family, but if provoked herself, she would not suffer in silence!
The tone in Yue Zhengyu's voice also grew colder, "Tsk, do you think I'm afraid of you? My Holy Angel is specially designed to counter your kind of evil Soul Master!"
During their last contest, he didn't use even half his strength, so he didn't consider Yuanen Yehui a match for him!
Suppressing the killing intent in her heart, Yuanen Yehui coldly replied, "Foolish!"
This guy actually thought his Holy Angel's Martial Soul could counter her Fallen Angel!
In reality, it was only a relative concept!
