Chapter 113

Facing Yu Mengdi, Huo Yutong broke from her previous habit of standing still and waiting for the opponent to attack in the past few matches; her blue hair quickly turned white, the Ice Snow Girl Martial Soul possessed her, and she charged at Yu Mengdi.

Yu Mengdi was not to be outdone; she fiercely flapped her pure white wings and dove toward Huo Yutong.

At the same time, her first soul ring lit up, and a pair of golden light swords appeared in her hands, emanating a holy aura.

This is her first soul skill, named Holy Twin Swords, a unique weapon-type soul skill; possessing it means that any soul skill she unleashes with the twin swords is superimposed with this first soul skill.

A pleasant, lingering song faintly sounded, and Yu Mengdi unleashed her second soul skill; dazzling golden light shot from her wings, infused into the twin swords, and then she traced a cross in the air with the swords, imprinting it onto Huo Yutong.

Holy Radiant Cross Slash — this is the attack she just launched, carrying a holy attack effect: not only is its power strong, but it also has persistent holy flame burns, making it highly effective against certain Evil Soul Masters.

For now she only has two wings, but when her cultivation reaches seven rings she can advance to four wings, and at nine rings she will have six wings; at that point she will be the bane of all Evil Soul Masters in the world.

Facing her attack, Huo Yutong narrowed her eyes, a layer of ice appeared on her body's surface, and at the same time an ice-blue longsword appeared in her hand.

"Boom!"

The Holy Radiant Cross Slash struck Huo Yutong, yet it inflicted no damage on her; the Ice Emperor's Bodyguard blocked most of the damage, and at the same time she swung her ice-blue longsword at the airborne Yu Mengdi; the cold, sharp blade forced Yu Mengdi, who had just used a soul skill, to keep retreating.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Emperor's Sword is only one blade; it is a powerful soul skill bestowed by the Snow Emperor, a 700,000-year soul beast, and also the Snow Emperor's greatest signature technique — something the two light swords granted by Yu Mengdi's hundred-year soul ring could never oppose.

A flash of annoyance crossed Yu Mengdi's eyes; facing Huo Yutong personally, she finally understood why her previous teammates had lost so quickly — Huo Yutong's strength clearly surpassed that of an ordinary Soul King, far exceeding her own.

This conclusion made her very unhappy, and she keenly realized that if she continued like this she would end up defeated like her previous teammates, so she quickly made a choice.

Yu Mengdi suddenly abandoned offense and defense, fiercely flapped her wings to fly into the air, and raised her longsword high above her head.

Her third soul ring lit up, and a blurry phantom of a six-winged angel appeared behind her; instantly her whole body blazed with light.

Third soul skill, Angel's Blessing; its effect is to double the attack power of her next soul skill.

Immediately afterward, her fifth soul ring shone brightly in the sunlight.

The spectators all widened their eyes at once, since the strong teams had been hiding their techniques in yesterday's matches, and Shilake Academy's match today was the first of the day, so this was still their first time seeing a ten-thousand-year soul skill in this tournament.

They all wanted to see with their own eyes just how powerful a ten-thousand-year soul skill really is.

"Angel's God-Sealing Slash!"

With a spirited shout from Yu Mengdi's mouth, her twin swords suddenly merged into one, and intense golden light burst from this longsword, forming a tremendous slash of astonishing momentum that came down on Huo Yutong.

This strike fused her first, third, and fifth soul skills; in terms of power it has even reached the level of a Soul Emperor, making it her strongest attack.

Everyone widened their eyes, wanting to see how Huo Yutong would deal with this blow.

All that could be seen was Huo Yutong acting as if she hadn't noticed the slash, leaping high into the air and jumping toward the airborne Yu Mengdi.

At the same time, her soul power surged wildly into her trunk bones; in less than a second her soul power had dropped by more than half, and a cyan-green light shot from her body, colliding in midair with the Angel's God-Sealing Slash.

Four-hundred-thousand-year soul bone skill, Ice Emperor's Wrath.

The intense cyan light and golden light pressed against each other; in the end the cyan light slightly prevailed, swallowing the golden light completely and continuing forward to strike Yu Mengdi.

Although the power of Ice Emperor's Wrath had been nearly exhausted by the Angel's God-Sealing Slash, the lingering chill instantly stiffened Yu Mengdi's body, preventing her prepared evasion; thus she was caught by Huo Yutong, who had leapt into the air, and pressed to the ground.

Ice crystals appeared, and Huo Yutong again used Ice Emperor's Claw, injecting a large amount of cold into Yu Mengdi's body, turning her into an ice sculpture just like her two previous teammates.

Obviously, this match was another overwhelming victory for her.

The referee sighed, about to signal the next contestant from Zhengtian Academy to enter the arena, when he heard Huo Yutong say in a cold, clear voice:

"Shilake Academy requests to substitute another team member onto the field."

The referee was stunned, and instinctively asked: "Why?"

As a referee he really shouldn't have asked that, but he was simply too curious.

She had instantly killed two Soul Ancestors and swiftly defeated two Soul Kings; now no one on the field would doubt her strength, and given her ability it would not be impossible for her to even take a seven-in-a-row victory in this match, so why did she give up?

Obviously what he asked is also what the spectators wanted to know; not a single person spoke, they all stared eagerly awaiting Huo Yutong's explanation.

Huo Yutong snorted.

"If I were to fight the entire match alone, what would my teammates do? Besides…"

Saying this, she glanced at the Zhengtian Academy players' bench, and a disdainful smirk curled at the corner of her mouth.

"If I really pulled off a seven-in-a-row victory, wouldn't that look terrible? A match should value harmony."

Truly arrogant — the referee very much wanted to say that, but he couldn't bring himself to speak.

Because all the evidence shows that Huo Yutong has the capital to say such things.

Huo Yutong's voice was not soft; many in the audience heard her words, and immediately a fierce cheer rang out across Star Net Plaza.

Arrogance without ability only makes people dislike you, but arrogance backed by ability is called confidence.

They now have no doubt about Huo Yutong's strength, so naturally they won't doubt what she says.

However, only Huo Yutong knows her true condition.

After expending that Ice Emperor's Wrath and various minor soul skills just now, her soul power is down to only one or two tenths; dealing with another Soul Ancestor would still be manageable, but if Zhengtian Academy's next sender is their captain Ye Wuying, she would surely lose.

As the current biggest face of Shilake Academy, she cannot afford to lose, so she chose to withdraw right here.

Blankly watching Huo Yutong turn and leave the stage, the referee didn't know what to say.

Despite having presided over many matches for years, this was the first time he had seen such an arrogant reason for withdrawing.

By the way, university starts tomorrow; this morning I went to get my summer volunteer certificate.

We'll see tomorrow how the update goes; there will definitely be two chapters, and whether we can hit ten thousand depends on the situation.
