Chapter 125

Seeing their team's ultimate skill blocked so easily, the faces of everyone from Wan Guang Academy turned solemn.

Indeed, the girl named Huo Yutong truly possesses genuine strength.

In just a moment, the distance between the two teams closed again, but the first to strike was not either side's assault system, but He Caitou, a soul engineer.

Blinding light flashed as the fully charged He Caitou unleashed full firepower!

As the soul engineer most skilled at long-range attacks, he had not launched an offensive earlier because he was arming himself into a soul artillery turret, and now his armament is complete.

Sixty-four soul cannons instantly turned He Caitou's body into a small sun, countless incandescent white beams shooting from the turrets on his body and slanting onto the opponents.

"Damn!"

This exclamation came from Bei Bei, because he saw that Qiao Zhihao, who had just been about to clash with him, was instantly blasted away, slammed into the tournament's protective barrier; although three of his four soul rings lit up, it was to no avail, clearly he could not escape elimination.

This is a forty-sixth-rank defense-system Battle Soul Ancestor, yet facing He Caitou's instantaneous burst, he had no ability to resist at all; such attack power is something an ordinary fourth-rank soul engineer could not possibly possess.

Even the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Institute were shocked; even within their own institute, few could assemble such a powerful soul artillery turret in such a short time, showing that Shilake Academy's Soul Engineering Department is stronger than they imagined.

He Caitou, after all, was the implementer of the originally planned extreme single-soldier plan; one could say he had been poured with the vast majority of Shilake Academy's Soul Engineering Department's efforts. Even if he cannot compare to top-tier geniuses like the Red Dust siblings, placed in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Institute he would still be among the elite, his strength not much inferior to that of a Soul King.

At this moment, under his full-power burst, Wan Guang Academy not only had a defense-system Soul Ancestor eliminated instantly, but their formation was completely thrown into disarray, the remaining five members utterly chaotic.

Zheng Rongxian was about to remind everyone not to panic, when his face turned green all of a sudden.

Because Huo Yutong, flashing with six red rings beside him, had already grabbed Tang Wulin's hand and rushed to a point not far in front of him.

He had also watched Shilake Academy's previous match, where the Angel Martial Soul Soul King Yu Mengdi faced Huo Yutong and had no ability to retaliate; whether in soul power or martial soul, he was somewhat inferior to Yu Mengdi, so he did not consider himself a match for Huo Yutong.

If it were only Huo Yutong alone, that would still be manageable; on his side a Soul King and a Soul Ancestor in a two-on-one could at least stall for a while, but the problem is that accompanying Huo Yutong is also Tang Wulin, who in the previous match eliminated the ruthless Ye Wuying; although he actually won by teaming up with Bei Bei in a two-on-one wheel battle, his strength is clearly already beyond the level of a Soul Ancestor.

Standing beside him, Qiu Qiu immediately threw out a fourth soul skill without hesitation, a cyan whirlwind instantly forming and sweeping toward the two.

Qiu Qiu did not expect this move to have much effect on the two; she only hoped to slightly slow their steps, buying a bit of time for her team captain.

Facing her attack, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong's expressions turned strange.

Huo Yutong's hand produced an ice-blue longsword, but she did not rush to strike; meanwhile, Tang Wulin beside her fiercely kicked out his left leg, sending a sharp wind blade slicing through the air.

A terrifying scene appeared: when the wind blade struck the whirlwind, the whirlwind instantly reversed direction, sweeping along with the wind blade toward the two members of Wan Guang Academy.

This is the absolute suppression of wind-attribute attacks by the Wind Dragon King's power; in front of Tang Wulin, wind-attribute attacks cannot even cause damage—if they aren't turned against the user, that's already not bad.

Zheng Rongxian's face changed drastically; he hurriedly unleashed his fifth soul skill, attempting to block this strike.

Bloody-red sword light clashed with the cyan wind blade, fiercely exchanging blows, for a moment the outcome was undecided. However, beside the Wind King's Breaking Precept Slash, Qiu Qiu's fourth soul skill was also active; under its influence, although Zheng Rongxian barely managed to block Tang Wulin's attack, his body inevitably fell into rigidity.

And before his eyes, Huo Yutong had already raised high the imperial sword in her hand.

Two ice-blue sword lights flashed, and instantly two ice sculptures appeared on the field.

With the Soul Fusion Technique's enhancement, Huo Yutong truly possesses Soul Emperor strength; Zheng Rongxian, in his rigid state, could not possibly resist.

Thus Wan Guang Academy was eliminated of two more members, including their highest-cultivation captain, Zheng Rongxian.

No one expected that in just a single encounter, Wan Guang Academy would already have lost four members, while Shilake Academy still had several people who had not acted—seven versus three, the victory was clearly decided.

In fact, the subsequent match also failed to stir any further waves; Yan Rilan was quickly subdued in close combat by Bei Bei, the assault-system Nangong Yabin was defeated by Xu San Shi's various tricks, Xiang Yisheng still wanted to struggle a bit, but his Daylight Vine martial soul obviously did not support a comeback, and Tang Wulin soon sent him off the stage.

As a result, this match ended quickly again; although not as swift and shocking as Shilake's first match, it was enough to leave all participating teams in silence.

Without a doubt, the greatest contributors to this match were still these two kids, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong.

Anyone with clear eyes can see that Luo Fu's elimination at the start was Huo Yutong's doing; adding Zheng Rongxian, Qiu Qiu, and Xiang Yisheng afterward, the two of them actually eliminated more than half of the seven opponents, and the four they took out were respectively the team's strongest captain, main controller, vice controller, and support—truly a bountiful harvest.

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong demonstrated with their actions: even if their teammates are all Soul Ancestors, the two of them can still carry them to an easy victory.

While everyone else again showered praise on Huo Yutong, Xiao Hongchen furrowed his brows and looked toward Tang Wulin.

As for this kid, Xiao Hongchen had previously not paid much attention to him.

After all, Tang Wulin struggled noticeably against Ye Wuying, who had been weakened by Bei Bei; his Soul King strength seemed unstable, and he was not worth Xiao Hongchen's notice.

But after this battle, things were different; this wind blade combined with the previous storm gave Tang Wulin two soul skills that could rival a Soul King's fifth soul skill, which for a child his age can only be described as terrifying.

Moreover, he and Huo Yutong also possess a Soul Fusion Technique, whose power is plain to see, and the fusion degree is likely quite high.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hongchen suddenly laughed.

No matter how high the talent, what of it? The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Institute's peerless geniuses are not just him alone; his sister is equally powerful.

Moreover, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong do have a Soul Fusion Technique, true, but he and Meng Hongchen also have one; Tang Wulin's group's Soul Fusion Technique currently appears to be merely large in scope, its exact effect still unknown, and it may not necessarily surpass their Red Dust Affection.

Xiao Hongchen's smile spread wide; he could hardly wait to personally eliminate these two opponents in the finals.
