Chapter 237: The Failure of the Eight Gates Formation and Dian Wei's Fierce Attack

Xun Yu sensed the state of his and the soldiers' soul power.

It was not only chaotic and unable to be channeled to teammates through the formation, but it also could not be retracted.

If the original Eight Gates Formation was like connecting everyone's soul power in a straight line, allowing for perfect fusion, then now, in this chaotic state, it was simply like tying a dead knot in the line.

Xun Yu scratched his head in embarrassment, "Haha, I really didn't expect that I would actually be outmaneuvered one day. How careless of me. My apologies, everyone; until I can undo the soul power interference from the Golden Scepter, I'm afraid I won't be of much use for the time being."

"Wenruo, I told you not to underestimate the figures of the world; you've capsized in the gutter this time," Nan Feihuang said nonchalantly.

Xun Yu smiled bitterly, "A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit. Fortunately, this is only the Soul Fighting Arena and not a real battlefield. Your Highness, do not worry; I will not make such a mistake again in the future."

"These two guys, even with their formation broken, are still so composed." Hu Liena frowned inwardly. She had originally thought that this sudden strike from Xu Yu would at least make them panic.

"Everyone, deal with Nan Feiling and Gou Huo first!"

Hu Liena could not care about so much now. She knew that quickly defeating Nan Feihuang and Dian Wei was impossible, so it would be better to take advantage of the formation's failure to first eliminate the formation core and the Control System Spirit Master of the enemy team.

This was an attempt to force him to face Nan Feihuang alone; as long as either he or Hu Liena fell first, the Spirit Fusion Skill 'Charm' could not be used at all.

"Fox Charm!"

One could see the foreheads of the two beautiful girls, Hu Liena and Nan Feiling, each flashing with pink and multicolored light, pitted against each other.

"Third Soul Skill, Angry Dragon Formation!" Nan Feiling slapped the ground with both hands.

Finally, Xie Yue and Nan Feihuang were one-on-one in the air.

An earth dragon carried Hu Liena toward the right side of the arena, while the other two carried Xie Yue and Nan Feihuang, charging head-on in the center of the Soul Fighting Arena.

Hu Liena blinked, casting her Charm skill, launching it toward the seven members of the Gu Lei Team.

"What?" Xie Yue was startled, "This Nan Feiling wants to stop my sister and me from using our Spirit Fusion Skill, and she actually used this method to pull us apart."

She could see that as long as Xun Yu was not there, the opposing formation could not be set up.

The three were lifted up by three earth dragons, standing atop the dragons' heads.

"As expected of the finals, it's a duel of two soul bones right from the start. A top-tier Wisdom Skull and the rarest gem-type Illusion Head Bone; the team mascots of these two teams are truly enviable," Dai Mubai said sourly. He was now following the people sent by the Star Luo royal family and had not returned to Shrek. He was no longer a contestant, but was here as a witness in his capacity as a Star Luo prince.

Three earth dragons roared out from underground, positioned exactly beneath Nan Feihuang, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena respectively.

Jia Kui and Pan Feng were instantly charmed; their mental power was simply too far behind Hu Liena's.

Yet as a prince, he did not even have a single soul bone on him, while these two girls both possessed the highest quality soul bones best suited for them.

However, when encountering battle generals like Dian Wei and Lv Lingqi, it was completely ineffective. Nan Feihuang and Nan Feiling had mental-type soul bones protecting their bodies, so they would not be struck so easily.

"Spirit Bone Skill, Mental Space!" Nan Feiling immediately activated the soul bone her younger brother had given her, constructing a mental network to pull Jia Kui and Pan Feng out of the illusion through a mental connection.

"Xie Yue, taste my Single-Handed Eighteen Picks." Nan Feihuang held his halberd in one hand and performed a horizontal sweep; it was fast and carried great force. Even though Xie Yue blocked with his twin blades, he was still shaken to the point where his internal organs trembled.

Xie Yue tried to jump off the earth dragon, but Nan Feiling, relying on her high mental power, controlled the earth dragon at all times. As soon as Xie Yue's body moved, the earth dragon followed, blocking his movements.

"Brother!" Hu Liena wanted to help Xie Yue, but she was similarly entangled by an earth dragon.

It was not difficult for her to defeat this earth dragon, but she feared that by the time she dealt with it, her brother would have been defeated by Nan Feihuang.

"Second Soul Skill, Granite Rock!" Yan acted in time, punching the earth dragon in front of Hu Liena and forcing it back.

"Quick, attack with all your might, deal with Nan Feiling first," Hu Liena ordered.

Within the Spirit Hall Academy, everyone except the Support System Spirit Master Xu Yu charged toward Nan Feiling.

"(Second Soul Skill, Ice Pillar Stab.)"

Lv Lingqi made her move, and ice pillars protruded from the ground one after another, like Shui Bing'er's instant-cast Ice Seal technique. Except for the fire-attributed Yan and the flying Zhang Ping, Sun Chuantao and Ying Wei were instantly frozen.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Flying Sand Wild Flame!" Yan unleashed his ultimate move, preparing to complete both an attack and a rescue simultaneously.

The scorching flying sand whistled, but before this flaming sand could blow into the Gu Lei Kingdom's half of the arena, it was pushed back by another gust of wind.

That was Dian Wei's second soul skill, Spinning Dragon.

"Well done, Dian Hanhan. This Vice-Captain orders you to go and deal with that big guy over there!" Over these years, Nan Feiling had become even more adept at ordering Dian Wei around than Nan Feihuang.

Dian Wei's expression was ferocious. While using Spinning Dragon to hold back the flying sand, he charged directly into the dust.

Boom, boom, boom.

With every step he took, one could feel the earth tremble.

Moreover, one of his steps was worth three or four of an ordinary person's; this was the movement technique Dian Wei created himself, the "Chasing Tiger Over Stream" movement technique.

It was a set of wide-open, grand movement techniques. In terms of mounted combat, Dian Wei might not be as good as Lv Bu or Zhao Yun.

But when it came to foot combat, he could completely suppress those two guys who were ranked above him.

The scorching dust hit Dian Wei, but he was like a tank, pushing forward courageously, not caring at all about the pain or the burning.

Li Kai, who had been freed from the ice by the Flying Sand Wild Flame, tried to use the formidable power of his Black Horned Wild Boar to block Dian Wei. Although his horns had not fully recovered, his physical strength was still very high.

But the moment the two collided, one only heard a few "crack, crack" sounds; several bones in Li Kai's body were dislocated or even shattered.

By the time he was knocked away by Dian Wei, he had not even succeeded in blocking Dian Wei for a single second.

"Trash! Second Soul Skill, Granite Rock!" Yan cursed angrily. As a Beast Spirit Master, he had actually been knocked into a wreck by a Tool Spirit Master while his martial soul was possessed.

He would have to see to it himself.

A giant fist wrapped in rock smashed toward Dian Wei, and Dian Wei's way of responding was a move called Iron Mountain Lean.

Boom!

Under the violent collision, the rock on Yan's arm shattered into powder.

Then, Dian Wei took his Double Iron Halberds and smashed them onto the Flame Lord, knocking the Flame Lord to the ground in one blow. The powerful shockwave smashed a large pit seven or eight meters in diameter into the ground.

"What kind of monstrous strength is this? The strength of this monster is not a bit inferior to Nan Feihuang's from yesterday," Yan looked on in horror.

He could see that the guy in front of him was not like Nan Feihuang, who could be immune to fire.

Rather... he just didn't care.

The fire burned him, and it was indeed very hot, but he didn't care. The flying sand hit him, and it naturally hurt, but he didn't care about that either.

This kind of person was clearly even more terrifying than Nan Feihuang.
