Chapter 62
Just as the shockwave of the cauldron's tremor took effect, the giant "balloon" suddenly contracted, strangely dissipating the power of the cauldron's tremor, and then fell straight down, crashing into Xiao Xiao.
"So strong!" Xiao Xiao didn't expect that the other party could neutralize her Ding Zhishang so easily. Her attack didn't cause any damage. No wonder the class monitor told them not to hold back anymore.
First Soul Skill: The Surge of the Cauldron!
Seeing Xie Huanyue hurtling towards her again, Xiao Xiao once again used the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to strike back at him.
"First Soul Skill - Elephant..."
Seeing that Xie Huanyue's first spirit ring lit up again, attempting to neutralize Xiao Xiao's attack.
"Soul Impact!"
Huo Yuhao, who had been waiting in the wings, unleashed a series of soul-piercing attacks.
One of the attacks went straight for Xie Huan Yue, who was unleashing her first soul skill, forcefully interrupting it. Unable to deflect the force, Xie Huan Yue was sent flying, bouncing several times on the ground before finally crashing to the edge of the battle arena.
The other two were naturally there to support Wang Dong. Having already received the news, they unleashed their second soul skill, Butterfly God's Light, for the first time as the soul impact hit.
Those two unlucky guys weren't like Xie Huanyue, who had no resistance to mental power. Even as the Butterfly God's Light was about to strike them, they still hadn't recovered from their splitting headaches, let alone put up an effective defense.
Fortunately, the proctor intervened in time and rescued the two.
Wang Dong seemed to have anticipated this outcome. The moment he unleashed his second soul skill, he stopped focusing on the two unlucky guys and began to gather his strength.
"???"
Hearing the proctor announce that his teammates had been eliminated, Xie Huanyue, who had just regained his footing, was also a little confused. How come his two teammates were eliminated after only one round of fighting?
Even two against one can't hold out?
Forget it, those two teammates are just there to make up anyway, I'm the main force of the team. Even if I face three of them at the same time, my win rate is over 60%.
Thinking of this, Xie Huanyue leaped high into the air again, his massive body spinning as he crashed down on Wang Dong, whose combat power was clearly questionable and who was currently gathering his strength.
"Did you ask for my opinion before interrupting Wang Dong?"
Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron merged into one, transforming into a Soul-Suppressing Cauldron even larger than its normal state, and crashed violently towards Xie Huanyue.
"It's in the way!"
Seeing that the cauldron seemed about to hit him first, Xie Huanyue had no choice but to activate his second soul skill. His originally short and thick right hand suddenly stretched out and smashed towards the cauldron like Luffy's rubber fist, trying to blast it away.
The moment the fist and the cauldron collided, Xiao Xiao's two soul rings suddenly shone brightly, and the huge Soul-Suppressing Cauldron emitted a roar.
"A national treasure, its cauldron trembles!"
Instead of separating as it would normally, the fist and cauldron stuck together, and a strange black light began to spread along Xie Huanyue's arm.
Xie Huanyue clearly sensed something was wrong and tried to break free with his right hand, but it had no effect. Instead, the force he exerted brought him closer to his cauldron.
The black light instantly spread throughout Xie Huanyue's body, causing her to stick tightly to the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. At the same time, the black light continuously eroded Xie Huanyue's body, causing her soul power to evaporate rapidly.
How could such a skill possibly be unleashed by a Grand Soul Master?!
Xie Huanyue was terrified and hurriedly used his third soul skill, only to find that his body seemed to be completely frozen. His second soul skill, which should have ended, was still in effect, but he could not release the third soul skill no matter what he did.
Like a fly stuck on a flypaper, unable to move even an inch, it can only watch helplessly as its soul power drains away.
However, Xiao Xiao's face gradually turned pale.
"That's enough time, let's stop."
Out of her unwavering trust in Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao silently stopped her soul skill, her delicate body swaying slightly before collapsing to the ground.
As the black light dissipated, Xie Huanyue's body crashed heavily to the ground. Having finally broken free from control, Xie Huanyue couldn't care less about Xiao Xiao. Seeing Wang Dong's increasingly dangerous aura, he was about to activate his third soul ring again.
"Soul Impact!"
After thirteen seconds of adjustment, Huo Yuhao used all his mental and soul power to unleash this attack, and even spent a lot of mental energy to condense his mental power into a needle shape, all in order to break through Xie Huanyue's physical defense.
A soul impact, sharper and more powerful than before, pierced Xie Huanyue. This time, Xie Huanyue was no longer just momentarily dizzy as before; instead, her head throbbed as if it were being pricked by needles, and her obese body trembled slightly.
Having finally recovered, Xie Huanyue suddenly looked up at Wang Dong and saw a terrifying, huge crescent-shaped blade of light slashing towards her.
In that instant, the air seemed to be torn apart, and the entire arena was filled with indescribably powerful soul force fluctuations.
Are you kidding me? Is this the kind of attack a Great Soul Master can unleash? Even a top-tier Soul Venerable's all-out attack might pale in comparison.
Without further hesitation, the proctor rushed into the arena, grabbed Xie Huanyue's hand, and pulled her away. Xie Huanyue's large belly grazed the blade of light, and even without direct contact, the exceptional sharpness left faint bloodstains on Xie Huanyue's belly.
The light blade then cut straight down into the ground, creating a deep slit in the Soul Arena.
Looking at the smooth cut and the bloody marks on his belly, Xie Huanyue had no doubt that if this cut had landed, he would have been cut in two.
Xie Huanyue felt extremely frustrated. He hadn't even been able to unleash half of his strength before being taken down by a series of unexpected attacks, without any chance to fight back. In fact, he hadn't even been able to use his third soul skill once during the entire freshman assessment.
It's incredibly frustrating to be eliminated when you're clearly far superior to your opponent, but you're unable to perform to your potential.
On the viewing platform, a group of big shots, including Fan Yu, Elder Xuan, and Du Weilun, had been watching this year's freshman assessment since the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's match.
As for Ning Tian's homeroom teacher, Mu Jin, her love-hate relationship with Zhou Yi and Fan Yu is best left unmentioned.
The match is now completely over, and Elder Xuan is the first to leave.
After Elder Xuan finished watching the match and left, Du Weilun, the Dean of Instruction of the Martial Soul Department of the Outer Academy, came to Zhou Yi, who was in a daze, and said, "Teacher Zhou, congratulations on teaching two excellent students. Please introduce them. I believe they are qualified to become core disciples of the Outer Academy."
Zhou Yi then realized what was happening and quickly said, "Director Du, what about Huo Yuhao? He's the core and captain of the team."
Is Huo Yuhao the core of the team?
