Stretching his limbs, Arthur looked on with ease as several people, their expressions unfriendly, slowly surrounded him.
The audience stands had long since fallen silent, with countless gazes fixed intently on the arena.
The cheers that were originally for Shrek had stopped at some point.
They couldn't understand the details of the match; they only knew that earlier, thunderous light had exploded everywhere, with lightning interweaving to envelop the entire arena. The figures inside were all blurred, and only the rumbling of thunder could be heard.
Immediately after, an indescribable and powerful current of air swept through like an invisible giant hand, vanishing in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it dispersed the sky full of lightning.
After that, the members of Tianhai Academy pressed the Shrek team like tigers descending a mountain. The interweaving of fist winds and Spirit Ability lights made the audience below boil with excitement.
Everyone was a resident from various cities of the Tianhai Alliance. If their own team could win, who would truly cheer for the outsider Shrek?
Cheers and shouts shook the arena, and hope for victory burned in everyone's eyes.
Unfortunately, that hope was extinguished shortly after it rose. The members of Tianhai Academy eventually couldn't hold on, falling one by one on the stage, leaving only Arthur as the lone survivor, standing solitary in the center of the encirclement.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes collectively falling on the three pitch-black spirit rings behind Arthur.
They recognized the color of the spirit rings and had never imagined that a child who looked so young could possess such a terrifying spirit ring ratio.
This substitute youth seemed to exceed everyone's imagination, while the Shrek members opposite him were pale with erratic breathing, clearly having consumed a great deal.
"There's still a chance!" An uncle in the front row suddenly clenched his fist, his voice low and carrying an irrepressible excitement.
The person next to him nodded repeatedly, light reigniting in his eyes: "Yes! The Shrek people are basically at the end of their rope. He can definitely win!"
People who specifically came to watch Soul Master competitions basically knew what three ten-thousand-year spirit rings meant.
Moreover, Arthur could be so composed while surrounded. That calmness, along with the listless appearance of the Shrek crowd, gave all the Tianhai Alliance spectators confidence.
"Shrek will never lose!" Looking at the composed Arthur, Yu Henglong gritted his teeth and said: "Ning Xin!"
"Seven Treasures Name: One is Strength, Two is Speed, Three is Defense!" Ning Xin struggled to support her swaying body, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her palm glowed with a faint light again.
Three pale gold enhancement lights fell upon everyone respectively. Having received the enhancement, the auras of several people instantly rose a bit, and their originally pale faces gained a hint of color.
Yu Henglong suddenly took a step forward, the remaining lightning surging wildly around him. Although not as swift as at his Peak, it still carried a sense of majesty.
"Go down for me!"
He threw a punch with the momentum of thunder, unstoppable.
Arthur stood still, even having the leisure to say: "How much Soul Power do you have left? A battle between Soul Masters is a battle of Soul Power!"
Soul Power release!
The air around him suddenly distorted, and Soul Power surged out of his body like a tide.
Pale gold Soul Power ripples spread out with him as the center.
The terrifying Spirit Pressure firmly resisted Yu Henglong, making him unable to approach even half a step further.
"This Soul Power intensity..." Yu Henglong's pupils shrank sharply. In the stalemate, his old strength was spent, and new strength had not yet been generated.
Just as he was about to retreat, Arthur had already moved.
Instant Light!
His left foot slammed onto the ground, the arena's stone slabs shattering in response. Arthur's figure turned into a golden light shadow, instantly closing in.
"Up you go!"
Arthur gave a light chuckle, and the Invisible Sword held in his right hand suddenly lit up with a cyan wind current.
The air current of the Invisible Air and the golden Soul Power of the Excalibur intertwined, turning into a blurred light shadow that slammed heavily onto Yu Henglong's face.
"Bang!"
With a dull, loud crash, Yu Henglong didn't even see the opponent's movements clearly before a massive force hit his cheek, and he flew out like a kite with a broken string.
At the same time, his body involuntarily spun two and a half times.
Nosebleed mixed with saliva splattered out, and he then crashed heavily onto the ground, twitching twice before becoming still.
Yu Henglong has disconnected.
"What... was that?!"
Several people nearby saw it clearly; Arthur hadn't touched Yu Henglong at all!
But Yu Henglong was hit as if by something, instantly sent flying.
"That's his Martial Soul!" Ye Xinglan, who had recovered a bit, forcibly raised her Battle Intent and called out a warning. "An Invisible Sword!"
Re-gripping the star god sword to block directly in front of Arthur, she was currently the only one on the field with some understanding of the Dao of the sword, barely able to withstand the Invisible Sword in Arthur's hand.
The others' faces changed drastically. The scene of Yu Henglong being sent flying was still before their eyes. They hadn't even captured the slightest trajectory of the attack, only seeing Arthur raise his hand and wave.
Hearing "Invisible Sword" now, they subconsciously took half a step back, their eyes filled with fear.
"Attack together!" With Yu Henglong down, Ning Xin took over command.
The tall, thin youth gritted his teeth, a gust of wind rising as several Wind Blades condensed into shape, attacking Arthur from the side with a sharp whistling sound.
At the same time, another Shrek member also activated his remaining Soul Power, condensing an earthy yellow Defense Shield to approach, attempting to limit Arthur's movement.
"Wind? What a coincidence, I can do that too."
Arthur's wrist turned, the Excalibur drawing an arc. The golden sword energy collided with the Wind Blades, erupting in a piercing roar.
He took the opportunity to activate the Wind Kings Iron Hammer. Under the infusion of Soul Power, a howling gale swept out, and the Cyan Shockwave sent the tall, thin youth flying, hitting him straight out of the arena.
It was as if he had been hit by a hammer, embedding the tall, thin youth firmly into the wall.
The member who had tried to limit Arthur's movement froze in place, the earthy yellow shield still held in front of him, looking incredibly ridiculous at this moment.
Arthur didn't stop his steps; with a sway of his body, he used Teleportation to appear in front of him, easily bypassing that useless Defense Shield. He didn't give the opponent any chance to react and dealt with him easily.
After dealing with the two, Arthur turned his head to look at Ning Xin.
Her face was currently deathly pale, and the light of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had dimmed to the point of being almost invisible, clearly having long since overdrawn her Soul Power.
Arthur instantly appeared in front of her, his finger curling and lightly flicking her wrist. A stream of pale gold Soul Power surged in, and Ning Xin only felt her whole body go limp and weak; her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.
Arthur leaned down, reached out to grab her wrist, easily lifted her up, and casually tossed her outward.
Ning Xin's body traced an arc in the air, crashing heavily below the stage. After a muffled groan, she became still.
Afterward, he easily dealt with one more person.
Arthur tilted his head to look at Xu Lizhi and said in surprise: "Why are you still on the stage?"
"Do you want me to help you?"
As a food system Soul Master, Xu Lizhi could have actually left the field after giving his teammates food at the start.
Xu Lizhi shuddered under his gaze and stammered: "I, I..."
He had been dazed by the chaos of the battlefield just now. Realizing it now, he hurriedly ran down.
