A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.
Ye Lingling's series of outrageous actions stunned everyone present.
Was this still the same fragile support-type Soul Master? One could easily believe she was a battle-type Soul Master.
Outside the Soul Arena, Oscar lay dying in Zhao Wuji's arms.
"Teacher Zhao, I... she's really amazing—I'm dizzy!" Oscar lost consciousness as soon as he finished speaking.
Flander trembled, his face contorted with bitterness. This time, he had listened to Yu Xiaogang's advice and staked everything, including the ten thousand gold coins given to him by his zuzong, hoping Shrek Academy would win.
Flander exclaimed, "It's all over, all over now! My ten thousand gold coins!"
Zhao Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily, I changed my bet to Royal Fight at the last minute, otherwise I would have been finished too."
Flander was stunned, looked at Zhao Wuji, and gave an embarrassed smile.
As for Yu Xiaogang, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He panicked, he was completely panicked this time. Without Oscar, the flying sausage was out of the question, and the strategy was ruined. This time, they were going to lose completely.
On the Soul Arena stage, Dai Mubai endured the sharp pain in his chest and roared angrily, "Fatty, let's go together and fight them. Rongrong, buff me, let's save Zhu Qing first, maybe there's still a chance."
"Understood" x3
"Seven Treasures Spin Out with Glazed Glass." Ning Rongrong's body spun around in place, and a dazzling seven-colored light was released from her body. At the place where the seven-colored light gathered, a seven-colored pagoda more than a foot tall appeared in Ning Rongrong's right palm.
Radiant with precious light and exuding an air of nobility, Ning Rongrong smiled, appearing ethereal and otherworldly. Two yellow spirit rings rose from beneath her feet, silently swirling around her.
"The Seven Treasures have names, the first being: Strength." The first spirit ring rose, enveloping the Seven-Colored Pagoda. With a flick of Ning Rongrong's left finger, three beams of light were simultaneously released, enveloping Dai Mubai and the other two. "
The Seven Treasures have names, the second being: Speed." Three more beams of light appeared, Ning Rongrong's second spirit ring also coming into play.
With Ning Rongrong's spirit skill complete, Dai Mubai and the other two charged forward, attacking the zuzong in a triangular formation.
Dai Mubai and Meng Yiran led the charge, creating an opportunity for Ma Hongjun to unleash Phoenix Fire Lines.
This time, the three of them not only wanted to rescue Zhu Zhuqing but also eliminate the zuzong.
Watching the three charging towards them, the zu zong's lips curled into a smile. He muttered, "They're riddled with flaws, everyone."
"Blue Silver Area Entanglement," the zuzong silently chanted.
As he spoke, the zuzong raised his right hand, a faint white light appearing on his skin. Then, a deep blue-black Blue Silver Emperor with peculiar patterns surged forth from his palm. Three distinct halos of yellow and purple light rose from beneath his feet, swirling around his body.
Dozens, even hundreds, of deep blue Blue Silver Emperor vines, their surfaces covered in black scales, simultaneously shot out from the zuzong's right hand, plunging into the floor. The floor beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, the Blue Silver Emperor vines erupting from the ground, rapidly attacking Dai Mubai and his companions. The vines spread out in a spiraling motion, covering an area of over a hundred square meters; anyone within that area would find it almost impossible to dodge.
This time, the zuzong was using the "scaled" form of the Blue Silver Emperor granted by his first spirit ring, not going all out, after all, the leader of the Royal Battle team, Qin Ming, was still watching from below! He had already explained that he was a student of Shrek Academy and couldn't use the same force as before.
At this moment, the injured Dai Mubai recalled the fear he had felt when dominated by his Zu zong's"Blue Silver Grass."
Meng Yiran felt the same way. Although she also wanted to avenge her boyfriend Tang San, she managed to barely shred a dozen or so of the clan's scale-like Blue Silver Emperor vines using the "Snake Blade" soul skill of her martial soul, the Snake Head Staff.
But in the end, the two of them couldn't escape and were trapped tightly with Dai Mubai.
"Fatty, it's up to you!" Dai Mubai shouted.
Although Dai Mubai and Meng Yiran were caught off guard and quickly subdued, they weren't unprepared. The brothel phoenix Ma Hongjun behind them was their backup plan. Now that they had withstood the clan's soul skill, this was the perfect opportunity.
The brothel phoenix Ma Hongjun let out a low shout, "Phoenix Possession!"
Crimson light surged from Ma Hongjun's body, and his short hair suddenly grew longer and gathered towards the center, turning into a mohawk-like hairstyle. Wings didn't appear, but the moment the purplish-red light emanated from his body, it immediately released intense heat. Two yellow spirit rings rose simultaneously from beneath his feet, and long feathers extended from his exposed, thick arms. His hands also transformed into claws.
This was the first time the zuzong had witnessed Ma Hongjun's "spirit possession" process up close, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter, clapping his hands. "Pfft, what a chicken turning into a phoenix!"
Ma Hongjun seemed to have been provoked, and he flew into a rage. "Who are you calling a chicken? Take this—Phoenix Fire Line!" He raised his hands, and his first spirit ring suddenly lit up. He opened his mouth wide, and a thin stream of purplish-red flame shot out towards the clan leader.
The intense heat distorted the air, and the purple flame, though not intense, shot out in the air like an extended line of fire.
The zuzong performed a backflip, easily dodging Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line.

zuzong laughed, "Little Fatty, you think you're a human tank cannon?"
"Hmph! None of your business," Ma Hongjun roared, the flames in his mouth maintaining a five-meter burning length without extinguishing, chasing after Zu zong's body and swinging horizontally like a five-meter-long flaming weapon.
zuzong muttered, "Since that's the case, I won't hold back."
"Second Soul Skill—Blue Silver Blade."
As he spoke, Zu Zong used his soul power to control the Blue Silver Emperor Vines and unleashed the skill.
The second "yellow" soul ring surrounding zuzong lit up.
Dozens of deep blue Blue Silver Emperor Vines, shimmering with black phosphorescence, simultaneously erupted from the arena floor, straightening two or three meters down from the top, then transforming into sharp blades, shooting towards Ma Hongjun at a 360-degree angle.
Ma Hongjun was terrified, cold sweat pouring from his forehead. If he got hit, he'd suffer the same fate as Dai Mubai, and besides, he didn't have Dai Mubai's defensive soul skills.
Without any hesitation, Ma Hongjun unleashed his only two soul skills.
"First Soul Skill - Phoenix Fire Line"
"Second Soul Skill - Phoenix Reborn in Flames"
After using his soul skills, Ma Hongjun's tense nerves relaxed considerably. Since Master said his flames countered plant-type attacks, then it would definitely work.
The blades formed from the Blue Silver Emperor collided with Ma Hongjun's flames, pausing only briefly before breaking through the flames' encirclement. Their speed didn't diminish as they shot towards Ma Hongjun.
"Bang bang."
A series of striking sounds rang out, and smoke billowed around Ma Hongjun. It was impossible to see the specifics; all that could be seen were countless blades and the smoke from extinguished flames.
"Fatty!" The Shrek Academy members, including Yu Xiaogang, shouted worriedly.
Yu Xiaogang looked at the zuzong on the Soul Fighting Arena and roared, "Little zuzong, you've gone too far!"
Flander, Zhao Wuji, and Zhu Zhuqing were much calmer. The first two hadn't sensed any killing intent from the clan leader, and the latter simply trusted him.
The zuzong glared at Yu Xiaogang, ignoring him, and looked in Ma Hongjun's direction. "Hey, hey, I said, little fatso, stop pretending to be dead! Otherwise, I'll stab your butt."
"No, no, don't stab my butt!" As the dust settled, Ma Hongjun was seen lying face down on the floor, countless blue-silver blades embedded in the floor in a spread-eagle pattern, surrounding him. He was too afraid to move, but thankfully, he wasn't injured anywhere.
At the critical moment, the zuzong adjusted his angle, controlling the blue-silver blades to avoid Ma Hongjun's body.
Seeing that Ma Hongjun was alright, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I say, Miss Ning, are you going to get down yourself, or should I take you down?" The zuzong looked at Ning Rongrong.
Now, Shrek Academy is almost completely wiped out. Tang San and Oscar are eliminated, and Meng Yiran, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing have all been defeated. Only she, a support-type Soul Master, is still standing.
"No, no, no, my Soul Power is almost used up. I'll go down myself, I'll go down myself." Ning Rongrong chose to forfeit, she was completely terrified.
The zuzong looked at Dou Dou outside the arena, "Hey beautiful, can you announce the results of the match now?"
"Uh." Dou Dou suddenly realized that the zuzong's performance was truly astonishing. She had previously looked down on him for flirting with Zhu Zhuqing of the Shrek Seven Devils, thinking he was a slacker. She never expected that he would end the entire match with his move.
"Now I officially announce that the winning team in this team Soul Battle is—the Royal Fighting Team."
With the host Dou Dou's announcement, the Royal Fighting Team's Soul Battle journey in Soto City came to a complete end.
