Chapter 54 Powerful Second Soul Skill.
Each round of the Soul Master Competition is determined by drawing lots.
Xu Wei completed all the lottery tasks for Kong Xuan and his team.
Kong Xuan felt that Xu Wei might have some luck, as his numbers in the last few draws were all relatively high.
Take this round of the competition from 29 to 15 as an example. Although he didn't get a bye, he was the first to take the stage.
The sky was a clear, deep blue, and the sunlight shone on the massive arena that could hold 100,000 people, adding a touch of sanctity to today's event.
Compared to the first day of the competition when there were only over 500 participating teachers and students in the stands, today the stands were sparsely populated.
Clearly, after the Soul Master Class Competition has progressed to this point, many people are very interested in the upcoming matches.
Therefore, the extra audience members today are all teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
"Both teams, please enter the arena!"
As the broadcast began, the two teams slowly emerged from the preparation room.
Kong Ling walked at the front, her eyes resolute and bright, while Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei behind her were also full of fighting spirit.
After walking through the player tunnel and appearing in the arena, even if they are 500 meters apart, they can all see their opponents for the day.
Kong Ling's side naturally showed no emotional fluctuations, but the three people on the other side couldn't help but feel a hint of joy.
Because they saw that Kong Xuan hadn't played!
Kong Xuan was sitting in the audience, surrounded by his classmates, with his homeroom teacher Ren Jun next to him.
As of now, out of the eight teams in Kong Xuan's class, only three remain.
Such data is enough to demonstrate that the quality of the students in their class is indeed far superior to that of other colleges.
Ren Jun looked down at the arena and asked Kong Xuan beside him, "It seems you have a lot of confidence in them."
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan smiled and said, "Doesn't the teacher have any confidence?"
Ren Jun was taken aback by Kong Xuan's unexpected question: "The opponent is very strong. Even at the very end, I can't be sure of the outcome."
In the arena, the two sides stopped when they were 100 meters apart.
This is the initial distance set for them in the competition.
"The match begins!"
At the referee's command, both sides immediately completed the spirit possession.
Among a sea of yellow spirit rings, Kong Ling's purple second spirit ring stands out.
Even though many people knew about this news in advance, they were still deeply shocked when they saw it with their own eyes in the Soul Arena.
As a support-type food-type Soul Master, Hu Qifeng made three candies to enhance his Soul Power and fed them to his teammates. Surprisingly, he turned around and ran away.
Clearly, he planned to hand over the rest of the battle to his two teammates.
However, just as he turned around, a burning sensation came from all around him.
Seeing the golden-red cage that instantly formed around him, he had no choice but to stop.
Feeling the heat emanating from it, he dared not touch it in the slightest.
Not only Hu Qifeng, but Mingzhe and Yuan Qingshuang were also now trapped inside the golden-red cage.
The moment the match began, Kong Ling immediately activated his second soul skill!
This was also the strategy Kong Xuan devised for them yesterday. Without their own no-fly zone, it would indeed be difficult to deal with flying soul masters.
So let's go all out from the start and catch the opponent off guard.
In fact, Yuan Qingshuang and her team's strategy was to go all out from the beginning, but it seems they were a step too late.
At this moment, both Yuan Qingshuang and her group, as well as the audience members in the stands, all wore expressions of surprise.
What shocked them was not that Kong Ling unleashed his most powerful second soul skill right from the start, but rather the sheer power of Kong Ling's second soul skill!
Area-of-effect attacks, instant cast, and crowd control – these three features combined make it a god-tier skill.
But at this moment, Kong Ling was a hundred meters away from the other party!
Even though the second soul skill is from a thousand years ago, no one expected it to be able to be released from such a distance.
As an agility-type Soul Master, Mingzhe was completely helpless against Kong Ling's thousand-year-old Soul Skill. He was anxious but powerless to do anything about it.
However, Yuan Qingshuang, a Great Soul Master with two souls, did not feel too much heat even in the Fiery Sun Cage because her martial soul was ice-attribute.
At this moment, she was ready to forcefully shatter this cage of blazing sun.
Meanwhile, Kong Ling and the other two were not idle either. After releasing their second soul skills, the three of them quickly closed the distance with their opponents.
Xu Wei's target was Hu Qifeng, the food-type soul master at the very back, while Xu Tianyi headed for Ming Zhe.
Kong Ling activated his first spirit ring after advancing fifty meters, a distance sufficient to ensure the power of the Sun God's Light.
Her target was Yuan Qingshuang, the strongest among them.
The competition had only just begun, and Yuan Qingshuang hadn't expected that they would fall into such a desperate situation so quickly.
There was no time to think, and Yuan Qingshuang immediately unleashed her most powerful second soul skill, Extreme Cold Breath.
An extremely strong chill emanated from her mouth. At first, it was just a small stream of cold air, but in an instant, it transformed into an ice tornado.
While blocking Kong Ling's attack with the Sun God's Light, this icy tornado began to spread across the blazing Sun Cage.
It's not just freezing things with extreme cold; the constantly spinning tornado is more like countless blades cutting through this blazing cage of sunlight.
The scorching sun cage that had trapped Yuan Qingshuang was now frozen solid.
Kong Ling could sense that the Fiery Sun Cage would soon be unable to withstand the attack of Yuan Qingshuang's second soul skill.
This is due to the principle of elemental counteraction; otherwise, breaking free from her Fiery Cage wouldn't be so easy.
Kong Ling gritted her teeth, thinking to herself that Yuan Qingshuang was really not easy to deal with, and it seemed that the idea of finishing her off in one battle was impossible.
Yuan Qingshuang's phoenix wings, like sharp ice blades, struck the frozen Sun Prison one last time, finally breaking Kong Ling's second soul skill.
The scorching sun cage transformed into a sky full of ice shards, a patchwork of icy blue with golden-red accents, which surprisingly looked quite beautiful.
However, no one in this arena is in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery anymore.
"Clang!!!"
With a clear and melodious phoenix cry, Yuan Qingshuang soared into the sky.
It was at this moment, even though the eight-second duration of the Fiery Sun Cage had not yet elapsed, that Kong Ling took the initiative to release Ming Zhe and Hu Qifeng from the Fiery Sun Cage.
Under the scorching heat, the two lost a lot of water from their bodies.
Although he doesn't appear to be injured at the moment, his combat strength has been greatly reduced.
Xu Wei and Xu Tianyi, who had already arrived beside the two, were ready to attack.
After the Fiery Sun Cage was removed, Yuan Qingshuang had no time to rescue her teammates. Their attacks were already directed at Mingzhe and Hu Qifeng.
"bite!"
"bite!"
With two crisp sounds, the two attacks did not land on the enemy, but were blocked by a defensive soul tool.
The referee intervened, which means that Mingzhe and Hu Qifeng have been eliminated.
Next up is a three-on-one duel.
