Chapter 74: Black Robe! Black Robe!

Team leader Kuang Xi, together with the two sullen middle‑aged men behind him, formed a triangular formation, but the distance was not far.

A provocatively dressed woman stood behind the two middle‑aged men, with a coquettish smile on her face.

Two slender, small‑statured youths spread outward on either side of her.

An apparently ordinary, older middle‑aged man hid not far behind the woman.

A standard 3‑3‑1 formation.

The Slake group was arranged similarly.

Xiao Xian stood at the front, with Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu a short distance behind him.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun took the two wings.

In the center were Tang San and Oscar.

The host asked each side whether they were ready.

Xiao Xian nodded.

Kuang Xi stared with a grim, ruthless gaze and, without hesitation, also nodded.

"Countdown five seconds: five, four… one. Team battle, fourth round, begin!"

The Grand Battle Soul Arena added a countdown before the team battle to make the Soul Battle more exciting and to prevent a slow martial soul release from hampering performance.

"Start."

Xiao Xian's voice was flat yet clear.

The six people in Black Robes suddenly surged in aura, and the opposite side did the same; both sides released their martial souls simultaneously.

Dai Mubai, Oscar, Tang San, and Xiao Wu each bore two yellow and one purple Soul Ring.

Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing each had two yellow Hundred‑Year Soul Rings.

The Fierce Battle Team was rather unremarkable.

Kuang Xi had one white, one yellow, and one purple—a standard ordinary Soul Master setup. The two sullen middle‑aged men behind him had only one white and two yellow.

The others: aside from the provocatively dressed woman, who had the optimal two yellow and one purple configuration, the older middle‑aged man at the rear, like Kuang Xi, possessed a purple Soul Ring. The remaining two each had one white and two yellow.

This stark contrast instantly quieted the audience.

Even the Fierce Battle Team fell silent, their expressions turning sour, secretly startled.

Not a single white.

The Black Robe Battle Team definitely has backing, and the backing is not poor.

Especially the Black Robe No. 1 standing at the very center—doesn't even have any Soul Rings appearing on his body?

Too arrogant, perhaps?

Not releasing the martial soul?

Kuang Xi's gaze hardened, but he felt a secret joy inside.

If we don't release now, later it will be too late!

Considering the face of your Soul Rings, I'll give you a little beating!

Ao Supervisor also jumped in surprise, but quickly retreated and left the Soul Battle arena.

The older middle‑aged man at the rear of the Fierce Battle Team brandished a silver disc in his hand, and his white and yellow Soul Rings flashed simultaneously.

"Ruyi Disc, defensive light blooms; Ruyi Disc, offensive aura blooms."

The six teammates ahead of him were simultaneously wrapped in yellow‑white light.

Oscar and Tang San exchanged a glance.

Tang San's Third Ring burst repeatedly, quickly hurling lotus seeds into Oscar's mouth.

Oscar's Third Ring flickered rapidly, and he frantically tossed Storm Intestine outward.

The Slake group simultaneously emitted suction from their palms, instantly catching them.

Kuang Xi's martial soul is a rhinoceros; with the martial soul possessed, his body suddenly swelled, a keratin layer covering his surface, and a brown‑yellow horn sprouted on his head!

He let out a roar, his Ten‑Year Soul Ring flashing white light, and with a ferocious aura he charged toward Xiao Xian!

You kid, don't hold back your martial soul!

He intends to blast Xiao Xian with the fastest speed!

The two sullen Soul Masters beside Kuang Xi both wield Beast Martial Souls, each with a pair of horns and white fur covering their bodies, resembling sheep martial souls, and they charged in tandem with Kuang Xi.

Behind the three, two young men poking their heads out also sprang into action; their bodies covered in yellow hair like monkeys, they zipped at incredible speed around both sides of the Soul Battle arena, aiming to attack the rear of the Slake group.

The provocatively dressed woman gave a slight smile, her body shimmering pink, her wavy long hair fanned out into eight strands like a spider's eight legs on either side of her head.

Her Yellow Hundred‑Year First Soul Ring lit up instantly, and strands of Spider Silk shot out from the palms of both hands, weaving in the air, revealing her as a Control-type Soul Master.

"Begin."

Xiao Xian stared calmly at the charging Kuang Xi, took a light bite of Storm Intestine, and it instantly turned into a breeze that surged into his throat.

His arms flickered with silver cloud patterns, emitting a hint of breeze that lifted him directly.

The six behind him did the same; cloud patterns erupted from their arms, and they rose into the air!

In almost an instant, the seven in Black Robes rose like seven bats in the deep night, ascending to dozens of meters high, looking down.

Kuang Xi's face showed surprise; his robust body, accompanied by a howling wind, and the two White Sheep Soul Masters, passed directly beneath the crowd.

The two monkey Soul Masters stopped, looking utterly bewildered.

The female Control-type Soul Master also wore a grim expression.

Can fly?

Their team truly lacked any means to deal with aerial foes; even her Spider Silk couldn't reach the air ten meters up.

"Number Seven, Spider Silk."

"Xiao Wu, maneuver."

Remaining people, focus fire, spider, disc.

Xiao Xian stared downwards, calmly said.

Ma Hongjun nodded excitedly, the first ring flickered, and he violently spat out purplish-red flame from his mouth.

At the same time he slightly extended his right hand, purple flame flew out, condensed into a fire ball, and violently pulsated in his palm.

Suction Palm combined with the First Soul Technique, he had also practiced it.

Ma Hongjun violently flung his right hand, left hand Blowing Fire Palm aimed at the fire ball, and erupted explosively!

The fire ball was pushed by the Gale, straight toward the Spider Silk in the air.

After accurately landing on it, in almost an instant, it completely burned away the Spider Silk.

Dai Mubai let out a fierce roar, turned his body, burst out a mass of white light, and heavily smashed toward the White Jade Disc Soul Master.

Zhu Zhuqing's figure flickered, Gale wrapped around her body, and she charged straight downwards.

The Spider Female Soul Master's expression slightly changed: "Kuang Xi, two goats, two monkeys, retreat!"

Xiao Wu pouted, fell swiftly, and just before landing, the Third Ring flashed; she appeared out of thin air behind a monkey Soul Master, her long braid coiled around his neck, she kicked hard with both legs, the waist bow propelled her upward, and her arms stirred with a breeze.

Almost instantly, she used the braid to hoist the monkey Soul Master.

He struggled in terror, Xiao Wu lightly flicked, combined with Blowing Fire Palm, and directly blasted him out of the arena.

Then she shifted her gaze and locked onto another monkey.

Tang San's hand condensed into Profound Jade, he casually reached out, suction power surged in his palm, he snatched a cluster of purplish-red flame from Ma Hongjun's mouth, then the suction swiftly turned into a Gale and smashed toward the dodging White Jade Disc Soul Master.

He had just dodged Dai Mubai's white light when he was struck squarely by the purplish-red flame, and his hair and clothing instantly ignited.

Then Dai Mubai's Blazing Light Wave came down from above, struck his head, and knocked him unconscious.

Ma Hongjun chuckled, his figure also swiftly swooped down, coordinating with the descending Zhu Zhuqing, and they charged toward the Spider Soul Master.

Kuang Xi saw this and went numb.

The White Jade Disc's Third Soul Technique actually couldn't be released.

The spectators were originally clamoring, both surprised by the Black Robe Battle Team's ascent and angry at their flight to avoid battle.

But the Black Robe Battle Team, from above, also launched an attack, and in almost an instant, they wiped out two… three of the opposing Soul Masters?!

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Wu settled another monkey Soul Master.

Her teleport, combined with the Storm Intestine, is simply the ultimate mobility, appearing and disappearing unpredictably!

The spectators surged and cheered!

"Black Robe! Black Robe!"
