The two of them spoke quite reasonably, and for a moment, Furina couldn't find a reason to refute them, so she rubbed her nose sheepishly.
A sudden idea struck her, and she waved her hand, saying, "Alright, alright, how about this? I'll give you a chance. Three minutes. As long as you can break through my defense within three minutes, even if you just break a single strand of my hair, you win. During this time, I will absolutely not fight back. I swear by my Martial Soul that if you can truly do it, I will immediately concede. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, the three of them's eyes lit up immediately. There's such a good thing? It's just breaking the defense, not defeating her, and the opponent won't fight back! It seems her support system Spirit Ability must be biased towards defense. This proposal seems... worth a try?
Furina making this suggestion was certainly not purely for fun. She also wanted to take this opportunity to test the defensive effects of her fifth Spirit Ability, "Nut Cake," in actual combat, to see if it could possess even one percent of the "sense of security" of that Geo Archon.
Tang Le asked suspiciously, "For real or fake?"
Furina patted her own not-so-plump but perky chest and vowed, "Of course it's true! Stop acting like a broken record."
Tang Le chuckled and rubbed his hands together.
Jiang Xueqing, being meticulous, pressed further: "Then say it again, 'A beautiful girl does not lie to a beautiful girl.'"
Furina went along with it and repeated with a bright smile, "Of course, no problem, 'A beautiful girl will definitely not lie to a beautiful girl'!"
"Alright, enough small talk. Show me your spirit rings and Martial Soul, I can't wait anymore!" Furina's tone was light, and at the same time, a thought moved her, and her fifth spirit ring suddenly shone.
She cleared her throat and shouted the line she had rehearsed many times in her heart, carrying a certain sense of ritual: "Solid as rock!"
The moment her voice fell, a uniquely shaped cake, exuding a faint nutty aroma and a golden halo, appeared out of thin air in her hand. She elegantly and quickly put it into her mouth.
At the same time, the three people opposite her finally released their Martial Souls. The uniform two yellow spirit rings, the best ratio, showed that they were all Two-Ring Great Soul Masters.
In Jiang Xueqing's hand appeared a silver-bright, cold-glinting longsword Martial Soul, with a sharp Aura, clearly belonging to the Agility Attack System. Tang Le's body was covered in a layer of pale golden scale phantom, his body slightly expanding, exuding a thick sense of power. His Martial Soul was the Gold Armor Earth Dragon, which excelled in defense and power, belonging to the attack system.
And the petite Bai Xiu held up a flawless, crystal-petaled lotus in her palm, emitting a gentle life Aura, exactly the support system Spirit Master among the three.
As Bai Xiu's two yellow spirit rings lit up in sequence, soft white light fell on Jiang Xueqing and Tang Le respectively, providing them with Soul Power recovery and attack power amplification effects.
On Furina's side, the moment she swallowed the "Nut Cake," a solid, pale-gold glowing spherical shield instantly formed, shrouding her 360 degrees without any blind spots. The shield's luster was restrained, yet it gave people a sense of unshakeable heaviness.
Teacher Wang Yan off the stage widened his eyes, observing everything on the field with full concentration. He both wanted to witness with his own eyes how miraculous Furina's confident fifth Spirit Ability really was, and was also concerned about how Jiang Xueqing and the others would respond when facing such a huge gap in strength.
Meeting Furina, their luck was indeed extremely bad, but adversity can sometimes stimulate potential. Of course, he also understood that unless a miracle like a Martial Soul Fusion Skill appeared, the hope was slim.
Furina opened her arms, in a posture of letting them do as they pleased, even with a hint of provocation: "Come on, attack me as much as you want!"
"I've never heard such a strange request!" Tang Le complained. Before his voice fell, both spirit rings exploded with light, and with a low roar, like a small tank, he rushed towards Furina first, full of menacing Aura.
Jiang Xueqing's movements were more light and swift. She flicked her wrist, the silver longsword brandished several sword flowers. With Soul Power infused, the sword body hummed lightly, stabbing over from the other side, forming a clever pincer attack with Tang Le.
The two clearly held nothing back. As soon as they made a move, they used all their Spirit Abilitys, pushing their own Soul Power to the limit, striving to break the shield in one blow!
However, two minutes passed...
The scene on the field became somewhat "comical." Tang Le was panting, his fists hitting the shield only making dull sounds, and the scales were a bit dim; Jiang Xueqing's sword momentum was exhausted, sweat visible on her forehead, yet that golden shield remained motionless, not even a single, tiniest crack had appeared.
Bai Xiu had long since stopped the support, her small face pale, her Soul Power exhausted from the continuous support.
Tang Le was the first to give up, sitting on the ground, waving his hands repeatedly: "I'm not fighting, I'm not fighting... I can't hit it at all! This is harder than the shell of a thousand-year-cultivation Armored Dragon Turtle, what's the point of fighting?"
Furina put her hands on her hips and lifted her chin proudly: "Of course! I am Furina, the Pope of the Axis Cult, so my Spirit Abilitys are naturally extraordinary." The strength of this shield was directly linked to her own Soul Power; the higher the Soul Power, the stronger the defense. Three Two-Ring Great Soul Masters, even if they were attack system, wanting to shake a top-tier defensive Spirit Ability blessed by a level 52 Spirit King, was indeed beyond their reach.
She changed the subject, smiling amiably as she issued an invitation: "By the way, are the three of you interested in joining my Axis Cult? We are just in need of young and promising little Geniuses like you." Her tone was just like advertising.
Jiang Xueqing was slightly stunned: "Axis Cult? I've heard of it... are you really that Pope? So young?"
Furina blinked and smiled mysteriously: "If you come, won't you know?"
Jiang Xueqing didn't ask any more questions, just nodded thoughtfully: "Alright..." Subsequently, she turned to the invigilator, saying calmly: "Teacher Wang, we concede."
Wang Yan had long expected this result, and felt quite helpless in his heart about Furina's "smurfing" behavior, but he still dutifully announced loudly: "The match is over! The winner is freshman class one, Furina!"
