The strength Tyrone displayed far exceeded everyone's expectations. His Great Strength Gorilla martial spirit was no secret, and everyone present could guess that he was a descendant of the Strength Clan. But when did the Strength Clan produce such a genius?
That punch Tyrone just threw might have been as powerful as a Soul King's strike. The Strength Clan truly deserves its reputation as masters of raw power.
Yu Tianxin looked at Lei Hong being carried away by the medical team and found himself regarding Tyrone with a trace of caution.
If that punch had landed on him instead, could he have taken it?
"The next competitor from Thunderclap Academy is Lei Mie. Martial spirit: Thunder Spider. Level 41 Control System Battle Soul Sect. Let us look forward to his performance!"
The referee's voice interrupted Yu Tianxin's thoughts. Watching Lei Mie walk into the arena, Yu Tianxin fell silent.
He had thought he already held Shrek Academy in high regard, but he hadn't expected even a newly advanced Soul Sect like Tyrone to possess such strength. What kind of background did this Shrek Academy have to gather so many geniuses?
Lei Mie released his martial spirit. Eight spider legs crackling with lightning extended from his back, though each leg was only about a meter long and didn't reach the ground.
Two yellow and two purple spirit rings rose around him. His expression was heavy , the scene of Lei Hong being eliminated was still fresh in his mind. Even he hadn't expected Tyrone to be this strong.
However, Tyrone's soul power should have been greatly depleted, while he himself was in peak condition. How long could Tyrone hold out?
Lei Mie's amplification skills could last for half an hour, while Tyrone, though drained, was still bolstered by four soul skills and wasn't seriously injured apart from a few scorch marks on his skin and torn clothing.
The moment Lei Mie released his martial spirit, Tyrone charged straight at him. With his soul power running low, a quick battle was his best option.
Facing Tyrone's sudden charge, Lei Mie immediately activated his two yellow soul rings, lashing out with bolts of lightning from both his hands and eight spider legs.
Tyrone didn't dodge or evade. He simply raised his fists and smashed through the lightning one by one. Though his fists turned blackened from the electric shocks, his speed was unaffected.
Seeing this, Lei Mie frowned. His lightning wasn't as overbearing as Lei Hong's, but it still wasn't something people could just block with brute force.
This Tyrone really was strong.
When Tyrone closed the distance to less than ten meters, Lei Mie's eyes flickered madly. "Then let's see if you can break through my Soul-Locking Ring!"
At that moment, his fourth purple soul ring lit up. Eight spider legs, each three meters long, suddenly appeared in the center of the arena, trapping Tyrone in the middle.
The spider legs on Lei Mie's back shot out eight bolts of lightning at once, and the giant legs forming the trap blazed with light. A massive circular ring of lightning formed, imprisoning Tyrone inside.
Bound in an instant, Tyrone tried to break free, but with his soul power mostly spent, he couldn't summon enough strength. After struggling for a while, he still couldn't escape the Soul-Locking Ring.
Lei Mie's eyes turned sharp. Lightning surged in his palms as he prepared to attack again, but just then Tang San's voice rang out from afar: "Shrek Academy surrenders this round."
Hearing this, Lei Mie hesitated for a moment before withdrawing his lightning and ending the technique.
Freed from the ring, Tyrone shot Lei Mie a glare before slowly leaving the arena.
He had seen Lei Mie's subtle movements. If Lei Mie had attacked at that moment, he wouldn't have been able to resist at all and would likely have been seriously injured.
Xiao Wu walked up and patted Tyrone on the shoulder. "You were amazing. Leave the rest to us."
Tyrone smiled and nodded, returning to the waiting area for Jiang Zhu's healing treatment.
After exchanging a glance with Tang San, Xiao Wu stepped into the arena. A faint, sharp glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at Lei Mie.
"Shrek Academy's Xiao Wu. Martial spirit: Soft Bone Charm Rabbit. Level 43 Assault System Battle Soul Sect."
As she spoke, two yellow and two purple rings rose around her. She grinned at Lei Mie. "Hey, do you know what Sister Xiao Wu hates most?"
Lei Mie froze. Sister Xiao Wu? You're just a little girl!
Before he could reply, Xiao Wu continued, "What I hate most are people who fight dirty like you!"
In the next instant, Xiao Wu activated her second soul ring. Her second soul skill: Charm.
From the sidelines, Yu Tianxin shouted, "Don't look into her eyes!"
But Lei Mie reacted too late. As his gaze met Xiao Wu's, his pupils turned pink, and he froze in place.
Xiao Wu immediately closed the twenty-meter gap at lightning speed. Her third soul ring lit up , Teleportation , and she appeared right in front of him.
Her long scorpion braid whipped forward, looped around Lei Mie's neck, and flung him into the air. Xiao Wu leapt up, locked both hands on his shoulders, and pressed a long, slender leg against his waist.
"First soul skill: Waist Bow!"
With a burst of terrifying force focused into a single point, Lei Mie was hurled backward and smashed heavily into the ground. The brutal attack snapped him out of the charm, and he immediately felt searing pain in his waist and from the fall.
He tried to get up, but after struggling a few times, his face turned red, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
The medical team, now well-prepared, quickly carried him away without any fuss.
Yu Tianxin clenched his fist. "Idiot."
From the moment Xiao Wu spoke, she had deliberately lured Lei Mie into looking at her. Her skills were no secret, so to make sure he was caught, using a little trickery was only natural.
Blame yourself for being stupid, not Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu didn't even glance at Lei Mie as he was taken away. Instead, she looked straight at Yu Tianxin and raised her chin, as if to say, "You're next."
Yu Tianxin narrowed his eyes. At this point, they had almost no chance of defeating Shrek Academy, but facing Xiao Wu alone, he still had no fear.
Yu Tianxin flipped onto the arena floor. His blue robes fluttered as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon emblem on his chest glowed brightly.
"Little girl, arrogance comes with a price." Without waiting for the referee, Yu Tianxin snorted coldly and released his martial spirit. "Yu Tianxin. Martial spirit: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Level 43 Assault System Battle Soul Sect."
Xiao Wu's skills were troublesome, but it also depended on who she was facing. Moreover, she had already used two skills, consuming some of her soul power.
As Yu Tianxin's martial spirit manifested, two yellow and two purple rings rose around him. Lightning covered his body, making him look like a dragon-man hybrid. His gaze stayed locked on Xiao Wu's body , never her eyes.
For most people, this was hard to do, but for a genius, it wasn't difficult.
Xiao Wu let out a cold snort and charged forward. Yu Tianxin's face was calm as lightning danced across his body. His second soul ring lit up , Second Soul Skill: Thunderous Wrath.
A massive blast of lightning erupted from his palms, forming a five-meter-wide zone of electricity right in front of him. Xiao Wu didn't dodge, instead activating her teleportation skill to flash through the zone. Her body crackled with light arcs, but she was otherwise unharmed.
Seeing her get so close, Yu Tianxin raised an eyebrow. His first soul ring lit up , Lightning Dragon Claw. He blocked Xiao Wu's incoming kick.
Xiao Wu kicked again and again, but Yu Tianxin's dragon claw stopped each strike. The lightning on his claw made Xiao Wu's legs go numb, slowing her movements.
Yu Tianxin launched a bolt of lightning at her and said calmly, "You know you can't beat me, so you're trying to make me waste my soul power with your tricks?"
Xiao Wu dodged the lightning and pouted. "So you're not dumb after all. But so what? If you won't use your skills, you can't hurt me either!"
Yu Tianxin smiled. Lightning around his right arm intensified as the illusory dragon scales solidified into a real dragon arm.
"Even without soul skills, I can still defeat you. Your soft techniques are useless, and your first skill can't hurt me. What do you have left?"
The Dragon Arm skill not only boosted his power but also conserved soul energy. Against Xiao Wu, two hundred-year skills and this transformation were enough.
Xiao Wu's plan had been to use teleportation and Invincible Golden Body to force Yu Tianxin to use his third and fourth soul skills and drain his power. But Yu Tianxin saw through her plan instantly.
Looking at his dragon arm, Xiao Wu's expression changed slightly, but she didn't back down.
She feared his lightning, but he couldn't eliminate her easily. Even if she had to stall, she could still exhaust more of his soul power.
And she wasn't out of chances yet.
She suddenly dashed straight at Yu Tianxin. Seeing her charge so recklessly, Yu Tianxin felt a moment of doubt but didn't slow down.
He raised his dragon arm, power swirling around it with strength rivaling his second skill.
Just as his dragon claw was about to land, Xiao Wu's fourth soul ring shone. Golden light enveloped her body , Invincible Golden Body, which could block any attack below god-level for four seconds.
"So this is Invincible Golden Body?" Yu Tianxin raised an eyebrow, impressed by its power.
At that instant, Xiao Wu grabbed his head and locked eyes with him. Her second soul skill, Charm, activated again.
"Not good!" Yu Tianxin panicked and lit up his third purple ring. His third soul skill, Thunder's Fury, activated, increasing his power and making the lightning around him explode violently.
But Xiao Wu was still invincible. She immediately used her first soul skill, Waist Bow.
Halfway through the attack, the golden glow faded, and the raging lightning paralyzed her body. Waist Bow's power only partially came through, sending Yu Tianxin flying but leaving him relatively unharmed. He flipped in mid-air and landed steadily.
He then charged at Xiao Wu, who was paralyzed on the ground.
He hadn't expected her to be so ruthless, risking injury just to drain his power. Since she was willing to go that far, he saw no need to hold back.
Yu Tianxin was too fast. Even the Soul Saint referee couldn't react in time. Tang San hadn't expected Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself either.
Just as Yu Tianxin's claw was about to strike, a jade-green sword appeared out of nowhere and sent him flying.
A calm voice followed: "Shrek Academy's Xiao Wu surrenders."
Yu Tianxin, still in mid-air, felt intense pain from his dragon arm and immediately locked eyes on the speaker.
Everyone , the Soul Saints, the VIP section, and the other academies , turned to look.
Ning Fengzhi's gaze fell on Oscar with surprise. He hadn't expected to see Oscar act before the finals.
Chen Xin and the others could have saved Xiao Wu, but they weren't competitors and couldn't intervene without breaking the rules.
The members of the Four Element Academies stared at Oscar in disbelief. During the qualifiers, he had never fought, only stepping up as captain to collect rewards.
They had secretly hoped he was just there to intimidate them.
But with that single sword strike, they now knew Oscar's strength was at least equal to Dai Mubai's.
He hadn't even used a soul skill. He had moved faster than the referees, saving Xiao Wu from what could have been a crippling blow.
And the most terrifying part was this: if the captain was this strong, what about the vice-captain? Surely the vice-captain wasn't just for show.
That one sword strike filled everyone with fear and wild speculation.
Were the Shrek Academy fighters really the same age as them?
Having just one Dai Mubai was barely acceptable. But now, with both captain and vice-captain being at least Soul King level, who could possibly beat them?
