Chapter 98 Liu Yuan Instantly Defeats Four Soul Kings! Heavenly Soul Team Wins!
The atmosphere on the stage became unusually thick at this moment.
Although one of their teammates was severely injured and fell to the ground by Liu Yuan in an instant, the members of the Star Luo Royal Team were, after all, elites of the Empire selected through layers of trials, and their mental fortitude was demonstrated at this moment.
"Don't panic! He only benefited from the sneak attack and the strangeness of his soul skill!" Another powerful attack-type Soul King from the Star Luo team shouted, not only to remind his teammates but also to calm himself down.
"We still have four people, all of whom are Soul Kings! He's just a Soul Sect Master, plus those Soul Venerables and Great Soul Masters behind him, what can he possibly use to fight us?"
"As long as we proceed cautiously and keep an eye on him, he can't cause any trouble!"
"That's right, everyone support each other, activate your defensive soul skills, and charge forward together!" Another agility-type soul king echoed loudly.
The four Soul Kings quickly exchanged glances, and their previously slightly chaotic formation became tight again.
The soul rings beneath their feet pulsed, and a thick barrier of soul power rose around them, clearly indicating their intention to forcefully eliminate the threat posed by Liu Yuan through joint suppression.
Meanwhile, in the preparation area, Xuanzi, who had been feeling somewhat uneasy, felt his anxiety subside after seeing the Xingluo team quickly adjust their strategy.
He took another swig of wine and chuckled coldly:
"That's right. No matter how monstrous that little beast is, the gap in soul power level is still there."
"One against four, all of them are Soul Kings, how can he possibly hold them off? Once these kids from Xingluo get serious, Liu Yuan will soon learn what it means to be outnumbered."
Xuanzi's face regained that smug look, as if he could already foresee Liu Yuan's miserable state when he was surrounded and exhausted by four Soul Kings.
However, the situation on the stage shattered Xuanzi's and all the audience's illusions in the next second.
Faced with the imminent attack of four Soul Kings, Liu Yuan not only did not continue to retreat, but also took the initiative to abandon his defensive posture.
His gaze instantly sharpened, and the dazzling red light in his double pupils abruptly transformed into a deep and pure color filled with a sacred aura.
"The Qilin Treasure Technique".
Liu Yuan whispered a soft shout.
In that instant, a violent and ancient aura erupted from his body.
Blue icy energy swirled around him, and his speed instantly increased to a limit that was imperceptible to the naked eye.
"Too slow."
Before the four Soul Kings could react to what was happening, Liu Yuan's figure had already appeared out of thin air in front of the offensive Soul King directly in front of them.
"What?!" The Soul King only had time to utter half a cry of surprise before instinctively crossing his hands in front of his chest in an attempt to block.
But Liu Yuan's speed and strength have reached a terrifying balance.
He didn't use any fancy soul skills; he just threw a simple punch.
That punch carried the unique mountain-shattering power of the Qilin Treasure Technique, and slammed heavily into the opponent's body.
"Snap!"
The immense impact sent the Soul King flying backward like a cannonball, without even a chance to react, before he crashed off the stage amidst gasps from the crowd.
"Third brother!"
The remaining three Soul Kings were furious. They finally reacted and roared as they activated their strongest Soul Skills, launching an attack on Liu Yuan from three directions simultaneously.
The raging torrent of soul power blocked all of Liu Yuan's escape routes.
However, Liu Yuan had no intention of dodging at all.
His fighting style became extremely wild and domineering at this moment, completely disregarding defense and trading blows for blows.
"laser!"
Liu Yuan narrowed his double pupils slightly, and a highly condensed red beam of light instantly struck the agility-type Soul King on the left.
The opponent's high-speed movement suddenly stopped, his shoulder was instantly pierced, and he was thrown heavily to the ground due to inertia, losing his fighting ability.
At the same time, the attacks from the other two Soul Kings also landed squarely on Liu Yuan's back and side.
"We succeeded!" one of them exclaimed with delight.
But the next second, his smile froze.
Liu Yuan withstood these two powerful blows, enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, yet his body only swayed slightly.
The physical enhancement brought by the Qilin Treasure Technique has made him incredibly resilient to attacks.
He didn't even bother to use his trump card, his immortal body, and simply withstood the attack.
Liu Yuan delivered a backhand hook punch, imbued with the divine might of the Qilin, which struck the Soul King on the right in the chest.
A dull cracking sound rang out, and the other person spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing limply to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, of the five attackers sent by the Star Luo team, only the last Soul King remained standing on the arena.
The surviving Soul King looked at his teammates lying scattered around him, and his hand holding the short sword began to tremble violently.
He couldn't understand why a Soul Master could withstand a Soul King's direct attack without getting hurt, and he couldn't understand why the opponent's every move could precisely destroy their defenses.
"Your turn."
Liu Yuan turned around, his double pupils locking onto the person.
"No... damn it!"
Driven by extreme fear, the Soul King frantically brandished his Martial Soul, attempting a final, desperate counterattack.
But Liu Yuan only glanced at him indifferently, and the red light reappeared in his double pupils.
Another precise laser strike.
"Thump."
The last Soul King knelt on the ground, the bloody hole in his thigh marking his elimination.
One against five, instantaneous kill.
The entire Xingluo Square fell into a deathly silence at that moment.
Tens of thousands of spectators stared in disbelief at the young man standing with his hands behind his back on the ring.
This scene, where someone transcends a vast realm, defeats many opponents single-handedly, and completely crushes them with sheer power, is beyond their comprehension.
On the preparation table, Xuanzi's wine pot shattered on the ground with a "crack," spilling wine all over the floor, but he was completely unaware.
His old face had now turned a strange bluish-gray.
He stared intently at Liu Yuan, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
"This...this is impossible...he's a Soul Master...how is this possible?"
Behind him, Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and other Shrek Academy members all wore expressions of disbelief.
They had thought Huo Yuhao's "simulation" was already extremely amazing, but now, seeing Liu Yuan's real, overwhelming combat power, they realized what a true monster really looked like.
Just as everyone was in shock, the battle on the other side of the ring was also coming to an end.
Seeing that Liu Yuan had resolved the threat from behind, Long Aotian had no more worries.
He let out a wild laugh, and dark golden light surged around him as the primal power of his second awakening martial soul erupted in full force.
"Yellow River Cloud, go down!"
Long Aotian struck out with his palm, which seemed to contain immense power.
Huang Heyun, who had been struggling for a long time, finally collapsed completely in the face of the continuous palm force like waves.
His massive dark tiger body was directly shattered of its soul power, and he rolled out of the arena in a sorry state.
At this moment, only Xu Jiujiu remained standing on the arena, representing the Star Luo Royal Academy.
After a long while, he looked at the wounded scattered on the ground, then at Long Aotian who was slowly approaching and Liu Yuan who had a calm expression. His eyes were full of bitterness and helplessness.
She knew very well that a support-type Soul Master had no chance of winning against these two killing gods without the protection of all her teammates.
"We... admit defeat."
After a long while, he lowered the star crown in his hand, his tone filled with a deep sense of dejection.
Following this declaration of defeat, the entire Xingluo Square erupted in a breathtaking roar that seemed to shake the heavens after a moment of silence.
Tianhun Royal Academy officially advanced to the top 16 as the first-place team in Group F.
