Chapter 333

Shi Xing's plan was good; taking advantage of the time the invincible shield lasted, he hurried to charge the soul tool, then sneak a shot at Tang Wulin.

That way, even if he couldn't defeat Tang Wulin, he would most likely be able to throw him into disarray, and perhaps even probe more of Tang Wulin's soul skill information.

But how could his plan possibly escape Tang Wulin's notice?

He had also crossed hands with He Caitou many times in the past one and a half months, and his understanding of soul engineers' combat style had increased greatly compared to before.

Then, as the dragon breath's flames dissipated, Shi Xing's expression instantly turned ashen.

He saw the Fire Dragon King flapping its wings, with dozens of fire dragons dancing around it, all charging toward him together.

Tang Wulin's fourth soul skill, Fire God's Fury, temporarily imbues the flame of the fire-attribute Blue Silver Emperor Fire Dragon King spirit with half its temperature, and he transforms into a fire dragon, obeying the Fire Dragon King's command.

The power of this soul skill is undoubtedly extremely strong; previously, the Fire Dragon King, with the aid of this soul skill and the Water-Fire Raging Dragon Banquet, even held its own against a ten-thousand-year-level Darkgold Fearclaw Bear vengeful spirit in direct combat.

Meanwhile, Shi Xing's combat ability is obviously nowhere near comparable to the vengeful spirit of a ten-thousand-year Darkgold Fearclaw Bear; facing this move, he had no capacity to resist at all.

He hurriedly shouted, "Referee, save me!"

The referee hurriedly flew up, came to his side, and shouted:

"The match is over, Tang Wulin wins!"

However, Tang Wulin seemed not to have heard, and those dozens of fire dragons still crashed into him.

Helpless, the referee could only block it head-on.

He is a seven-ring Soul Sage-level soul master, his combat ability not that strong, so he had no choice but to unleash his Martial Soul True Body, forcibly shielding Shi Xing.

Shi Xing, a contestant from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, is the future of the Empire; he dare not let them come to harm in a match he is overseeing.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion sounded; as the fireworks in the air dispersed, the referee and Shi Xing fell in a sorry state from the sky.

The referee fared better, after all he is a Soul Sage-level powerhouse; having unleashed his Martial Soul True Body, this move merely gave him minor burns.

But Shi Xing was miserable; even a ripple of the Fire God's Fury's power was more than he could easily endure, and at this point he had large-area burns, obviously unable to participate in the upcoming team battle.

The referee angrily shouted at Tang Wulin, "What are you doing? I already announced the match is over, why didn't you cancel your soul skill?"

Tang Wulin's smile looked completely harmless.

"Sorry, this soul skill's power is really too strong, so I have some trouble controlling it and can't retract it; do I need to pay medical fees?"

The referee's cheek twitched, and he let out an angry snort.

"No need, don't let this happen again!"

"Okay."

Tang Wulin obediently nodded, making the referee's teeth itch.

After Shi Xing's defeat, the gazes of everyone from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy instantly focused on Xiao Hongchen.

At this moment, their eyes were filled with some worry.

Originally they had agreed that after Shi Xing's defeat, Xiao Hongchen would go up second.

The problem is they originally expected that even if Shi Xing couldn't win, he would at least achieve some results, but as it stands, he hasn't had any effect on Tang Wulin at all.

The battle just now lasted less than ten seconds; simply put, Shi Xing fired a shot, which Tang Wulin blocked, then Tang Wulin unleashed the fire dragons, and two strikes instantly took Shi Xing out.

This level of combat power is already on par with Long Ao Tian and Huo Yutong from the past two days, exceeding their imagination; Xiao Hongchen obviously cannot defeat Tang Wulin.

Facing the somewhat worried gazes of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Xiao Hongchen let out a cold snort.

"What expressions are you wearing? Do you think I'll lose? Don't joke around—I'm your captain, and I will absolutely not lose!"

He also knows that his words now lack credibility, but as captain he must put on a confident appearance.

That way he can slightly boost morale. Having said that, he steps heavily onto the competition stage, facing Tang Wulin from afar.

Seeing him, Tang Wulin reveals a friendly smile.

"Hey, Xiao Hongchen, we meet again; have you learned anything at Shilake Academy these past few years?"

Xiao Hongchen let out a cold laugh.

"I should ask you, has your strength regressed during this time you were missing? Don't let me down."

Tang Wulin chuckled.

"Rest assured, I will absolutely not let you down."

This Xiao Hongchen can lose at anything, but he can't lose with his mouth.

He looked at the referee, who had a sour face, and said, "Referee, we're done talking; you can announce the start of the match."

After Xiao Hongchen mounted the competition stage, the two did not draw near, so the match can indeed begin now.

Just looking at Tang Wulin's handsome smile, the referee always has an urge to punch him in the face.

He forcibly suppressed that urge, raised his hand, and then brought it down heavily:

"Match start!"

The instant his words fell, countless cannons began to appear on Xiao Hongchen's body.

Tang Wulin gazed solemnly at Xiao Hongchen opposite him.

Five years ago, he actually never had a one-on-one direct battle with Xiao Hongchen.

Back then, it was Huo Yutong who defeated Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, that pair of genius siblings, single-handedly sending the two most troublesome contestants from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy down from the stage.

Now, recalling that time, Tang Wulin has to admit that his strength back then was not as great as Xiao Hongchen's.

That terrifying burst of power far surpassed his; even if he used his strongest defensive soul skill, he could not withstand the simultaneous volley of those 108 soul engineer cannons.

But that is all in the past now.

Now he possesses absolute confidence, being far stronger than Xiao Hongchen.

Tang Wulin raised his hand, and two giant dragons instantly appeared beside him, one on the left and one on the right, guarding his front.

Xiao Hongchen's face turned ferocious, and the soul engineer cannons on his body burst with dazzling light as he roared:

"Take this move!"

Next, a terrifying torrent of energy erupted on the arena.

The cannon light, capable of destroying anything with ease, turned into a destructive light that could annihilate everything, sweeping toward Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin's eyes narrowed slightly.

This attack's power is indeed strong; at least on the Tang Sect side, only he can unleash an attack of this level. Besides him, even the strongest Bei Bei and Xu San Shi cannot.

He truly deserves to be the top genius of the younger generation of the Sun Moon.

The spectators in the stands couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

In previous matches, Xiao Hongchen had not appeared, so this was the first time they had personally witnessed Xiao Hongchen unleashing his full firepower.

Seeing this, they all felt their blood surge with excitement.

Even the most die-hard fans who believed in Tang Wulin found their confidence wavering at this moment.
