Chapter 352

Only after Tang Wulin jumped down from the Water Dragon King's back and landed again on the competition platform did the spectators in the square come to their senses and erupt in a huge cheer.

They also saw the number of souls Wang Xiaolei had just commanded; in their view, this guy's death was truly satisfying.

Tang Wulin ignored the spectators' reactions, took out a sealed Milk Bottle, and silently replenished his soul power.

The soul skill he had just used was called the Water Sovereign Azure Strike; its effect was similar to that of the God of Fire's Annihilation Slay, both condensing a massive amount of element at a point before releasing it.

The difference is that the God of Fire's Annihilation Slay is a close-combat means, whereas the Water Sovereign Azure Strike is a long-range attack.

In Tang Wulin's view, aside from its astonishing power, this soul skill's greatest feature is its incredibly swift activation speed.

It is a true zero-frame startup; one only needs to raise a hand to release it, and the emitted beam travels so fast as to be chilling, making a reaction almost impossible.

Wang Xiaolei hadn't even had time to react to what was happening before he died beneath this soul skill.

Tang Wulin's sole goal today was to single-handedly defeat all seven Evil Soul Master opponents in the individual elimination round; to that end, he must conserve his soul power as much as possible.

He estimated that if he became entangled with Wang Xiaolei, his soul power consumption would likely exceed his expectations, so he simply and cleanly finished him off with a single strike.

Seeing him replenish his soul power via the Milk Bottle, the Holy Spirit Sect's members did not dare delay and quickly sent out their next contestant.

This is an extraordinarily tall contestant; in terms of physique, he is even more robust than Xie Huan'yue, making people feel dread.

Without waiting for Zheng Zhan's request, he announced his name.

"Holy Spirit Sect, Lu Genggeng."

His voice was exceptionally loud, a rarity among Evil Soul Masters; not only did it lack much gloom, it instead gave off a feeling full of masculine vigor.

Upon hearing his self-introduction, Tang Wulin put away the Milk Bottle in his hand, nodded to Zheng Zhan, and indicated that he was ready.

From his eyes, Zheng Zhan saw only seriousness and fierce fighting spirit; instantly, he felt he had guessed what Tang Wulin intended to do.

He gave Tang Wulin a deep look and announced, "The match begins!"

As soon as the match began, Lu Genggeng unhesitatingly released his martial soul.

He exerted force with his legs, making a forward jumping motion; his jump wasn't particularly high, only about two meters off the ground, and he lunged forward no more than four or five meters.

However, his already quite robust body, upon jumping, began to inflate like a balloon.

At the moment he crashed down, his black long robe was completely torn apart, and his entire person transformed into an extremely huge and terrifying monster.

Upon releasing his martial soul, Lu Genggeng's height exceeded five meters; his massive, obese body resembled a meatball, while his thick legs appeared remarkably short.

At the instant he landed, even though they were a hundred meters apart, Tang Wulin felt a tremor underfoot, and the entire competition platform emitted a painful groan amidst the tremendous roar.

What, what kind of monster is this? The spectators stared, mouths agape, at this sight.

His exposed arms and shoulders looked as if chunks of fat had been stitched together, the skin patchy, a huge bloody mouth gaping open, constantly dripping saliva onto the steel plates below, which sent up wisps of smoke; the six soul rings on his massive frame appeared far larger than those of an ordinary person.

The moment he revealed his martial soul, Huo Yutong's voice echoed in Tang Wulin's heart.

"Hatred, a terrifying undead creature. It strengthens itself by consuming corpses; if injured, it can also devour corpses to recover. Its abilities should be speed, control, and strong assault—a fully powerful evil martial soul. Wulin, be careful; the dark green aura emanating from him is likely poisonous."

"Good." Tang Wulin gave a light smile and also summoned his two great soul spirits.

The abilities of Evil Soul Masters are myriad and bizarre; for most people, merely identifying their martial souls and abilities is already difficult.

However, for Huo Yutong, this task's difficulty is much lower; at the very least, she can instantly recognize any undead-type martial soul.

This time, Tang Wulin entered the match with the sole aim of wiping out these Evil Soul Masters; having such an encyclopedia at his side, he naturally would rely on her power.

The reason his expression changed slightly before the previous battle was that he had learned from Huo Yutong the name and characteristics of Wang Xiaolei's martial soul.

But is he again a Soul Emperor…

Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes, and a dreadful speculation arose in his mind.

Could it be that all seven members of the Holy Spirit Sect's team are not Soul Emperors or above?

Considering that the team captain, Yan Feng, is clearly a Soul Saint–level expert, it is very likely that, aside from Tang Sect and Shilake Academy, the Holy Spirit Sect is the strongest team in this competition.

Lu Genggeng let out a loud roar to the heavens, then charged toward Tang Wulin at a full sprint; with each step he took, the competition platform trembled slightly under his weight and immense strength.

Although Lu Genggeng's body was fat, his speed was not slow at all; in the blink of an eye he had crossed more than half the field and stood before Tang Wulin.

Just as he was about to use a soul skill to probe Tang Wulin, Tang Wulin moved first.

As the blue light flared, the small-scale Water King Deep Sea Domain unfolded; under the pressure of the powerful domain, Lu Genggeng's movements stalled instantly, and his soul skill could not be released in time.

This hesitation of his was the biggest reason for his defeat in this match.

Tang Wulin reached out, and the azure dragon swiftly flew toward him, binding him with the Water Sovereign's Shackles.

Immediately afterward, a red light illuminated his massive body; aided by the Fire King Blazing Domain, the two powerful soul skills, God of Fire's Wrath and Flame Blast, were unleashed together.

In this strike, Tang Wulin held nothing back; his gaze was extremely cold.

Thus, the next second, a terrifying explosion, carrying shreds of flesh across the sky, swept over the entire competition platform.

Then, in the next second, a terrifying explosion, carrying with it flesh fragments filling the sky, swept across the entire competition platform.

Under the impact of this terrifying explosion, ripples appeared layer upon layer on the protective shield at the edge of the competition platform.

When the explosion ended, only a huge crater with a radius of over ten meters remained on the competition platform, and Lu Genggeng had vanished without a trace.

Obviously, after that round of explosion, he was left without a whole corpse.

Tang Sect versus Holy Spirit Sect, second match of the individual elimination round.

Tang Wulin, victory.

Lu Genggeng, deceased.
