Chapter 114: Attempt

In the afternoon, inside the academy's Soul Battle arena, the two teams were about to engage in a Soul Battle.

Tie Li hadn't expected his team duel with Shi Laike to arrive so quickly, and their opponent turned out to be the First Team.

"Da Li, I've studied your combat style, so I've devised a tactic."

The tactical arrangement was very reasonable, matching each one's combat style, and some details were simply clarified.

"Da Li, your strength is the strongest among us; on the front line, you need to take on more firepower."

"Alright." Tie Li nodded.

Considering the overall strength of the First Team and the Second Team, the First Team was slightly stronger: all seven members were Three Ring Soul Honorable, while the Second Team had Tie Li with a Soul Power Level of Four Ring Soul Ancestor, four Three Ring Soul Honorable, and the remaining two were only Second Ring Great Soul Masters.

A lot of spectators gathered for this Soul Battle, even three Committee Members showed up.

Perhaps their presence gave the team members an intangible pressure, causing them to take this Soul Battle more seriously.

Tang San also gave Tie Li and Zhang Xiaohe a brief introduction to Dai Mubai and others' martial souls and combat styles.

The four Strong Attack-type Soul Masters would appear one-dimensional in the tactical arrangement, leaning more toward frontal clashes.

Under Qin Ming's signal, both sides prepared.

"The duel begins!"

As the duel was announced, the fourteen participants simultaneously released their martial souls and Soul Rings, the dazzling Soul Rings bursting with radiant light.

The moment Tie Li summoned his martial soul, the Fourth Soul Ring flared up suddenly.

He immediately unleashed the massive Fourth Soul Technique, which caught the First Team's seven members off guard.

Fourth Soul Technique, Thunderfall!

The form of the Purple Lightning Hammer seemed to enter the true body of the weapon spirit, its massive head filled with dense purple lightning.

Attack power surged dramatically, and the Thunder and Lightning Attribute increased by three hundred percent.

The hammer head fell like a meteor wrapped in purple lightning, purple thunder encircling like flames!

"Boom"

The hammer slammed into the ground, causing cracks in the terrain, and fierce purple lightning sprayed outward.

The sudden, overwhelming attack caught the First Team off guard; in panic they fled, and their formation collapsed instantly.

This was the outcome Tang San wanted to see; his original plan was to have Dai Mubai cooperate with Tie Li to split their formation and defeat them one by one.

But he didn't expect Tie Li could achieve it alone.

The overwhelming Fourth Soul Technique drained nearly half of Tie Li's soul power.

After Tie Li's strike took effect, Dai Mubai and the others immediately launched an offensive!

The closest to them was Ao Si Luo.

Ao Si Luo's Second Soul Ring lit up, creating a brief clone that confused the opponent while he quickly retreated, attempting to return to Yu Tianheng's side.

But how could Tang San's carefully arranged tactic let him breach so easily?

"What?" Ao Si Luo was startled; before he knew it, blue silver grass had already tangled around his legs.

Next, he would have to face the three-person assault from Dai Mubai and his companions.

Tie Li ate a big sausage from Oscar, and his soul power and stamina recovered extremely quickly.

He charged forward heavily, blocking the support from Yu Tianheng and Yu Feng.

"Hmph, Yu Feng, go support Ao Si Luo."

Yu Tianheng immediately shouted at Yu Feng, saying that even though Tie Li's Soul Power Level was higher than his, with an extra Thousand-Year Soul Ring, he felt no fear at all.

The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus is hailed as the world's number one beast martial soul; its raging Thunder and Lightning Attribute, overwhelming attack power and burst—how many other martial souls at the same level can compare?

When the Purple Lightning Hammer clashed with the dragon claw, in terms of Thunder and Lightning Attribute collision, the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus indeed far surpassed the Purple Lightning Hammer, but the purple lightning released by the hammer possessed a ferocity only a Soul Beast can have.

This turn of events surprised Yu Tianheng.

As Yu Tianheng tried to wrench free from the Purple Lightning Hammer, his peripheral vision caught a flash of Lightning Light rushing toward his chest.

"Boom"

Yu Tianheng was thrown backward, and his dragon claw trembled; its scales were severely damaged, exposing flesh beneath, and even the hand bones were injured.

His dragon claw met Tie Li's attack head‑on, with speed, strength and burst reaching astonishing levels.

"Three‑legged?" Yu Tianheng narrowed his eyes.

The combo, completed in almost an instant, surprised him further when Tie Li's swift left‑leg strike—though a single leg—had power comparable to a Thousand-Year Soul Technique.

Yu Tianheng could clearly sense that this was neither a soul technique release nor a soul bone.

Then there was only one possibility!

Yu Tianheng's gaze toward Tie Li changed.

Before, he had somewhat underestimated Tie Li, thinking Tie Li's cultivation speed was faster and his martial soul was far behind his own, never seeing Tie Li as a true opponent.

But now it was different; he began to take Tie Li seriously.

Tie Li felt some regret, having underestimated himself; had he applied the amplification of the First Soul Technique or Third Soul Technique just now, he might have eliminated Yu Tianheng outright.

He had to admit, however, that the suppression at the martial soul level gave him an inexplicable sense of restraint.

"You're courting death."

Behind Yu Tianheng was a swath of emerald hue; Du Gu Yan saw Yu Tianheng wounded by Tie Li and felt his anger flare.

Poison Fog surged toward Tie Li.

A strand of blue silver grass coiled around Tie Li's waist; perhaps a first-time coordination, Tie Li subconsciously resisted, but quickly realized it was Tang San's rescue.

In that brief moment, the Poison Fog invaded Tie Li, causing a sudden dizziness and his vision to blur.

Tang San immediately pulled Tie Li back; Oscar had already prepared a detoxifying small sausage, which Tie Li took and swallowed without hesitation.

"Bang"

"Bang"

Two figures were eliminated: one was the besieged Oscar, the other was Zhang Xiaohe, who had originally intended to eliminate the opponent's Support-type Soul Master, but instead was hit by the joint attack of the Shi brothers.

Ye Lingling's soul skill landed on Yu Tianheng, restoring their injuries.

"What an amazing healing soul skill," Tie Li thought silently.

The members of both sides regrouped; in the first wave of clash, each team sacrificed a Three Ring Soul Honorable, but in terms of consumption, the Second Team was clearly at a greater disadvantage.

"First deal with the opponent's Support-type Soul Master," Tie Li said.

Everyone nodded, but the problem was how to eliminate her; beside her were two defense Soul Masters.

The First Team reorganized their attack, and they didn't think Tie Li could still unleash a fourth soul skill.

"I've got a mushroom gut,"

This mushroom gut was prepared for Tie Li; the moment Tie Li swallowed it, he gained the ability to fly for one minute, at the speed of a phoenix-tail rooster-crested snake.

The First Soul Ring and the Third Soul Ring lit up simultaneously, elevating Tie Li's state to its peak.

With astonishing speed and a brutal burst, note that Tie Li is the only Four Ring Soul Ancestor on the field.
