The first match ended just like that.
Although the scene wasn't as chaotic as the qualifiers, and there was no applause or cheers,
Ye Fan's performance still captivated the entire audience.
Even Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, found that
he was increasingly unable to understand this child. At such a young age, he already possessed the demeanor of a great master.
Glancing at the Platinum Bishop Salas beside him,
Ning Fengzhi was somewhat surprised to find that
Salas's expression was very calm,
showing no emotional fluctuation due to Ye Fan's performance,
as if he were simply watching an ordinary match.
The following matches seemed so simple for Ye Fan .
He remained composed throughout .
Blazing Fire Academy sent out five team members in succession,
including the twin brothers Huo Yun and Huo Yu, who had even broken through from level 39 to level 40.
But Ye Fan dealt with them all cleanly and decisively,
even using the exact same method:
suppressing their attributes with Ice Mushrooms and
then throwing them out.
Blazing Fire Academy now essentially had four Soul Masters above level 40, but even with six of them on the field,
they still couldn't stop Ye Fan's progress.
His soul power remained abundant, and there wasn't even a trace of fatigue on his face.
Under these circumstances,
Huo Wu, the last member of the Blazing Fire Academy team and vice-captain,
walked heavily onto the competition field.
A one-versus-six victory
—Ye Fan had also accomplished this last time,
defeating seven opponents.
This time, it was the veteran powerhouse Blazing Fire Academy.
This was a situation no one could have imagined before the competition began,
yet it had actually happened.
"Is the Soul King really that strong?"
Gazing at Ye Fan, Huo Wu gradually calmed down.
She knew this match wasn't just about herself and Ye Fan;
it also concerned the honor and disgrace of Blazing Fire Academy.
If she lost, allowing them to achieve a one-versus-seven victory,
Blazing Fire Academy would never be able to hold their head high among the Five Elemental Academies again.
Therefore, no matter what, she couldn't lose. She absolutely couldn't lose.
It was with this unwavering belief in victory that Huo Wu calmed down.
She was not yet twenty years old,
the youngest genius in Blazing Fire Academy's history.
Her recent arduous training had advanced her soul power another level,
reaching level forty-four. He
was only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Soul King, and Huo Wu
had already expended so much soul power.
How could he possibly lose?
Ye Fan quietly watched as Huo Wu stopped thirty meters away.
He was surprised to find that
Huo Wu's aura seemed to have undergone some strange changes.
He and Huo Wu had never interacted, but every time he saw her,
she seemed to exude a fiery aura.
In some ways, her personality was quite similar to Liu Erlong's.
But now, the calm Huo Wu seemed like a different person.
Her already slender body appeared even more beautiful under the faint red glow on her skin.
She seemed capable of igniting the hearts of all men.
With a sway,
a faint orange-red shadow gradually appeared behind Huo Wu,
exactly the same as her figure.
The blurry fire shadow was full of illusion.
But this was her martial soul, Fire Shadow.
A fire-attribute shadow, an extremely special
martial soul that could maximize the power of fire elements. Today's qualifying match
was clearly beyond the reach of Blazing Fire Academy,
given that Shrek Academy still had six players ahead of them.
However, Huo Wu was determined
to win this match, no matter what.
The match began.
As soon as the referee announced the start, Huo Wu sprinted towards Ye Fan.
Her thoughts were exactly the same as Huo Wushuang's:
to prevent Ye Fan from releasing his summoned creatures.
Even if Ye Fan's physical body was strong,
it was definitely not as strong as his summoned creatures.
Even if it wasn't a weakness, it was Ye Fan's weakest point.
Huo Wu's long, powerful legs moved rapidly
as she charged towards Ye Fan.
Although her speed couldn't compare to that of an agility-type Soul Master, after reaching level forty,
a Soul Master's body, aided by the attributes of their Soul Rings and their own Soul Power, far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Her full-force charge was incredibly fast. The distance between the two closed rapidly.
The thirty-meter distance between them was reduced to ten meters in the blink of an eye.
Huo Wu's eyes lit up,
her bright eyes sparkling as her third spirit ring glowed simultaneously.
A purple halo enveloped her, enhancing her beauty.
The entire arena was one hundred meters in diameter, and
Huo Wu's Fire Resistance Ring was sixty meters in diameter, covering most of the area.
Propelled by the Fire Resistance Ring, Ye Fan almost instantly reached the edge of the arena.
Stepping outside the arena meant defeat;
Ye Fan had used this rule to defeat his opponents in all six matches.
The most terrifying aspect of Huo Wu's Fire Resistance Ring was its ability to ignore all skills and defenses;
all skills within its attack range would be temporarily repelled.
Of course, the opponent's attack skills could not exceed ten levels of her own spirit power. Huo
Wu's movements didn't falter;
just as Ye Fan was forced to the edge, another Fire Resistance Ring lit up.
Ye Fan sighed inwardly. This girl seemed to have a fiery temper, but she was actually quite clever.
Control-type spirit masters were indeed extraordinary.
Using the Fire Resistance Ring, she had instantly put herself in a difficult position.
The Fire Resistance Ring isn't absolute, of course;
otherwise, there would be no need to fight in this qualifying round.
With just this skill, Huo Wu could sweep all opponents. The limitation of the Fire Resistance Ring lies in its height.
Its effective range is 60 meters in diameter and 3 meters in height.
In other words, the area within 3 meters in the air is beyond the Fire Resistance Ring's reach.
Unless Huo Wu's Fire Resistance Ring is launched directly into the air.
Ye Fan lightly touched his toes and leaped high into the air.
Seeing this, Huo Wu revealed a cold smile.
Although launching the Fire Resistance Ring twice had consumed a lot of her soul power, she
had still achieved her goal of forcing Ye Fan into the air.
A strange scene appeared:
the four soul rings on Huo Wu's body simultaneously shone the instant Ye Fan leaped into the air,
and the fire shadow behind her instantly changed to an incandescent white.
"Ring Fusion?"
Yu Xiaogang, watching the match from outside the arena, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Ring Fusion isn't a technique, but a talent;
only some extremely special soul masters can possess such an ability.
It involves simultaneously unleashing the combined soul power of several of one's soul rings' attack skills in an instant,
or releasing a large amount of soul power in a single burst using a single soul skill.
The greatest advantage of ring fusion is its explosive power,
allowing one to release all of their soul power at once.
