Seeing that Nanmen Yun'er was on the verge of not being able to hold on, Ju Zi, beside Huo Yuhao, finally made a move. As the only soul tool master among the seven, in terms of pure firepower output, she was second only to Huo Yuhao, who was backed by numerous cheats.
Two soul tool revolvers appeared in her hands. At the same time, the first ten-thousand-year soul ring at her feet lit up. First Soul Skill, Exploding Flame Orange, bullet loaded.
Among the soul beast clan of the Evil Eye, the fewer the attributes, the stronger the ability actually was. And every soul beast was born with its own innate soul skill. Among the Evil Eyes, the fewer the innate soul skills, the more formidable their strength.
Ju Zi's soul spirit, the Fire Evil Tyrant, had three attributes: the spiritual attribute, the fire attribute, and the corrosion attribute. Although the multiple attributes greatly weakened the strength of this soul beast itself, the multiple attributes unexpectedly enriched Ju Zi's attack methods as a soul tool master.
With Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing, Ju Zi didn't need to deliberately aim at all. Two exploding flame bullets hit Nanmen Yun'er's opponent, allowing her to avoid the opponent's charged-up strike at the critical moment.
Immediately after, Ju Zi's second and third soul rings lit up one after another. Two oranges, with surfaces of turquoise and silver-gray respectively, were compressed to the size of bullets and instantly loaded into the two soul tool revolvers.
As a food-system soul master, the oranges she created with her soul skills were actually lethal. Her first three soul skills were Exploding Flame Orange, Corroding Orange, and Spiritual Shockwave Orange, corresponding to the three attributes possessed by the Fire Evil Tyrant. None of them were not her attack methods as a soul tool master.
The two revolvers in Ju Zi's hands were a pair of level-five soul tools. They were reloading-type offensive soul tools that she had made herself according to the blueprint ideas provided by him after she had reunited with Huo Yuhao in Star Luo. As long as she had enough soul power to create oranges with different attributes, she could compress and load them as bullets of the corresponding attributes.
Under the guidance of Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing, Ju Zi opened fire with all her might, providing powerful fire support to Cui Yejie, Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yun'er respectively.
This was the first time Ju Zi had participated in a competition. Many people had not expected that this gentle-looking girl could actually display such powerful offensive means in an instant.
Seeing her teammates retreating one after another under the opponent's powerful offensive, Princess Jiujiu gritted her teeth, and the fourth soul ring at her feet finally lit up. Fourth Soul Skill, Star's Protection.
Because Huo Yuhao's spiritual power level was too high, the Starshine Art could not cause substantial interference to his Spiritual Detection Sharing. Princess Jiujiu's tactics were clearly completely disrupted by Ju Zi's outbreak. At this time, with her body as the center, a thick starlight burst out. This time, the starlight was as brilliant as the sun, transforming into a layer of a light shield that forcefully blocked Ju Zi's attacks, only shrouding the seven members of her own side within.
At the same time, a ball of golden light was thrown from her hand. That was definitely not a soul skill. The golden light only flashed and appeared at a position between Huo Yuhao and Xie Huanyue.
Here it comes! The corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth lifted slightly. He knew what this thing that the wealthy Star Luo Empire had equipped Xu Jiujiu with was.
A strange scene appeared. A layer of a golden light shield descended from the sky and instantly rolled back, actually forcefully enveloping the fourth soul skill that Xie Huanyue had already released, the Rubber Mayhem, within. It then quickly fell, also suppressing Huo Yuhao himself within.
Xie Huanyue only felt a sense of suffocation descend from the sky. He wanted to dodge, but the golden light instantly tracked him and suppressed him and Huo Yuhao within.
"Kamui Hirumezaka!" Huo Yuhao's left eye suddenly opened. Xu Jiujiu, in the rear, suddenly felt a chill down her spine. A spatial vortex had at some unknown time appeared behind her. A powerful suction force almost instantly swallowed her. When she reappeared in the audience's view, she was also in the absolute defense shield she had thrown out.
At the top of the golden light shield was a bead with flowing brilliance, with a full one hundred and eight cross-sections. This bead was the size of a fist. At this time, it was sparkling with a brilliant light and was rapidly rotating, shrouding Huo Yuhao, Xie Huanyue, and Her Highness Princess Jiujiu within. Eighteen stars appeared on the surface of the light shield, their brilliance shining.
Below the competition stage, He Caitou suddenly stood up, his eyes full of disbelief. "That... that's an absolute defense soul tool? How is that possible? Absolute defense is at least level seven! They actually used a level-seven soul tool. This absolute defense is also a one-time use. Its value..."
Wang Yan also stared with wide eyes. He was completely ignorant in the research of soul tools and hurriedly asked, "What is an absolute defense soul tool?"
He Caitou said, "It's similar to an invincible protective shield, but it's a special soul tool used in reverse. Once used, within a quarter of an hour, the people sealed by the absolute defense shield will have to face the protection of a level-eight Soul Douluo-level defense-type battle soul master. This kind of soul tool can currently only be made by the Sun Moon Empire. Its core formation is extremely secret. We simply don't even have the possibility of making it. I never thought it would actually appear in the tournament. It is said that the price of this kind of absolute defense shield has long been hyped up to the level of over a million gold soul coins. With it in hand, when facing a crisis, it's equivalent to having an extra life! It is much, much stronger than the invincible protective shield that can only defend for three seconds. A quarter of an hour is enough to do many things. But this absolute defense shield's defense against both internal and external attacks is the same. Even to destroy its main body, the bead, would require the strength of at least a level-seven Soul Sage to have a chance."
Wang Yan sucked in a cold breath. Recalling the various events during the bidding at the Starlight Auction House, that's right! In terms of strength, Huo Yuhao and his group were not at a disadvantage. But in terms of financial resources, how could they, who were away from home, compare with these local snakes of the Star Luo Empire? Such a rare and expensive soul tool had clearly already changed the course of the battle.
The strongest, Xie Huanyue, and Huo Yuhao were suddenly trapped. Logically speaking, to describe this as a devastating disaster for the Sun Moon team would not be an overstatement.
It was just that, at the last moment, their Her Highness Princess Jiujiu was also included.
Huang Heyun and the fire-control Soul King, Yi Chen, who were originally fighting Xie Huanyue, unhesitatingly changed their attack target to Cui Yejie, who possessed a hundred-thousand-year red soul ring. The three great Soul Kings launched a siege on her. And Wu Feng was mired in a bitter battle with the wind-control Soul King. Nanmen Yun'er was under constant attack from the Lightning Falcon battle Soul King. Even with Ju Zi's fire support, she was currently only able to protect herself.
The defense-type Soul King of the Star Luo team, who had previously been protecting Princess Jiujiu, had lost the object of his protection. He knew that with Xu Jiujiu's ability, she might be able to hold on for a while under Huo Yuhao and Xie Huanyue's hands, but it would definitely not be for too long. The urgent task now was to quickly join forces with the other team members to defeat "Huo Yuanjia's" companions outside.
Seeing that Cui Yejie's opponents had once again increased by one Soul King, just as the referee was preparing to make a move to rescue her, she, who had been unable to attack effectively under the influence of the Starshine Art, finally revealed her fourth soul skill, which had never been used.
Accompanied by her fourth soul ring's red light shining greatly, a Nine-Tailed Immortal Fox soul spirit the size of a small mountain for the first time officially appeared before the eyes of the world.
"That... what is that?"
"Heavens, could that be a real soul beast, a nine-tailed fox?"
"Could it be a Martial Soul True Body?"
Just as the audience was enthusiastically discussing in surprise, the huge nine-tailed fox opened its great mouth. A majestic soul power and natural energy all converged towards the mouth of the Nine-Tailed Immortal Fox. An energy ball with a diameter of a full zhang quickly took shape.
Cui Yejie's hundred-thousand-year fourth soul skill, Soul Beast Cannon!
In their great team, excluding Huo Yuhao, the one who actually possessed the strongest attack and destructive power was not Xie Huanyue, but she who possessed a soul spirit.
As the first successfully experimented product of Electrolux, the Nine-Tailed Immortal Fox was by no means an artificial soul spirit in the ordinary sense. If one really had to name its nature, perhaps the four words "god-made soul spirit" would be more appropriate to describe it.
The Nine-Tailed soul spirit was not only connected to its master, Cui Yejie, by heart, but could also cast soul skills on her behalf. And a soul skill cast by a soul spirit, its power was even a level higher.
Princess Jiujiu looked at the scene outside the light shield with a flustered gaze, her red lips slightly parted. Before her were the Huo Yuhao and Xie Huanyue with evil smiles on their faces.
"Not good!" His Majesty the Star Luo Emperor suddenly stood up from his seat. No one could have thought of this situation before the match. Princess Jiujiu had actually been caught alone by Huo Yuhao in that invincible protective shield. And Xu Jiawei had only just discovered a problem now. On his own team's side, those skilled in attack were all outside the protective shield. And at this time, they were facing the threat brought by the huge nine-tailed fox and simply could not spare themselves to go to the rescue.
The first Soul Beast Cannon from Cui Yejie had finished condensing. It shot out towards the four Soul Kings before her with a terrifyingly ultimate pressure. Facing this unavoidable, huge energy cannon, the defense-type Soul King of the Star Luo team was the first to block in front of everyone. A pair of huge wings suddenly opened, like two door panels, blocking the path of the Soul Beast Cannon.
Holy Wing, a defense-type battle Soul King. His martial soul was the Giant-Winged Vulture. His second and fourth soul rings shone at the same time. The huge wings first turned an iron-gray color, and then burst out with a strong metallic luster.
Although Jiujiu's Star Crown martial soul was powerful, its shortcomings were also very obvious. A soul master with the Star Crown martial soul would have a relatively small improvement to their own body from their martial soul. Therefore, while Princess Jiujiu possessed powerful auxiliary and even attack power, her physique was a weak point. Thus, before, she had always had the protection of this defense-type battle Soul King by her side to prevent any accidents.
And now, what was even more troublesome was that Princess Jiujiu had been caught by Huo Yuhao with his spatial ability into the absolute protective shield. The Starshine Art had been interrupted. In other words, her partners now could not get any support from her. On the contrary, Ning Tian's four soul rings all lit up at the same time, and a huge amplification instantly made Wu Feng and the other girls erupt.
The huge energy cannon was the first to hit the Holy Wing at the very front of the Star Luo team. The moment he faced this Soul Beast Cannon, four figures, four in one, stood firmly behind him. From the back, the backs of these four members of the Star Luo National Academy were all releasing a faint white light. The light was in the shape of a round disk, like the shell of a turtle on its back. The light was released outwards through the school uniforms on their bodies.
The fire-control soul master, Yi Chen, standing at the very back, pressed both hands on the back of the defense-type Soul King, Holy Wing. Dugu Shanshan also made the same action, connecting. And Huang Heyun's two palms were pressed on Dugu Shanshan's back. At this time, they looked as if they were completely one entity.
Below the competition stage, the soul tool theory vegetable king, Wang Yan, was a little anxious again. He grabbed the He Caitou beside him and asked, "This... what kind of soul skill is this again?"
He Caitou let out a bitter laugh. "This is another rare soul tool, called the Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument. The core formation for making it requires a very special metal called Chaos Silver. The biggest feature of the Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument is that it can change the attribute of soul power. No matter what kind of soul power is injected into it, what is output is the most peaceful chaos attribute that can be absorbed by any attribute. Through this Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument, soul masters can inject soul power into each other in a short period of time. But this part of the soul power must also be released in a short period of time. After all, soul power that exceeds the soul master's own tolerance range will harm the meridians. And chaos-attribute soul power can also only be used temporarily and cannot be completely fused with one's own soul power to become one. I never thought they would even take this thing out. The Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument is a level-five soul tool. Soul masters below seven rings can all use it. After exceeding seven rings, unless it is a particularly huge Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument, otherwise the Chaos Silver core formation will not be able to withstand the impact of the soul power."
"Boom—" Holy Wing only felt as if a train had crashed into him. The four of them were thrown flying by the sound and fiercely crashed into the light walls around the competition stage. With their five viscera as if on fire, with a "wah," they spat out a mouthful of blood.
Impossible! This was the first thought they had after being sent flying.
The opponent was just a Soul Ancestor! How could she have such powerful soul power? Even a level-seven Soul Sage-level expert, without displaying their Martial Soul True Body, could not possibly do this!
Holy Wing, as the leading protection position of the Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Instrument, the pressure he bore was also huge. After this competition, he would have to recuperate for at least a month to repair his own meridians.
Having lost the restraint of the four Soul Kings, Cui Yejie, disregarding the huge consumption of her soul power, quickly joined the battle at Nanmen Yun'er's side. The huge Nine-Tailed Immortal Fox soul spirit raised its front limbs, and Annihilation Ash Bones rained down on the agility-attack-type battle Soul King like a torrential rain.
And in the absolute defense shield where Princess Jiujiu was, Huo Yuhao had long since used his simulation soul skill to conceal the internal situation.
"Rubber—Whip!"
Xie Huanyue displayed all his skills, continuously launching a furious offensive against Xu Jiujiu, who had cast Star's Protection, with his own abilities. Her Highness the Princess's physique was already weak. Even with Star's Protection and a soul tool shield on her, she was whipped by Xie Huanyue's rubber whip until she cried out repeatedly.
"Bastard, you dare... ah!"
Xu Jiujiu looked at the Huo Yuhao, who had been watching from the side with his hands clasped behind his back from beginning to end, with hatred. She almost bit through her silver teeth, and then was once again sent flying by Xie Huanyue's rubber whip. Even with the protection of her soul skill and a shield, the inertial force of the whip leg made her extremely uncomfortable.
"Hmph... ah!"
Smack smack!
"Mmm! Ah..."
Smack smack smack!
The sounds could not be blocked by the simulation soul skill. When the audience heard Her Highness the Princess's miserable cries continuously coming from within the absolute defense shield, they couldn't help but have their faces change one after another.
What on earth was happening in there?
Huo Yuhao knew that if he let her continue to scream like this, I'm afraid before he and Xie Huanyue could finish their 'tutelage', His Majesty the Star Luo Emperor would surely be the first to speak up and terminate the match.
Estimating the strength of the spiritual protection shield on Jiujiu's head, Huo Yuhao condensed his Soul Impact at one point and shot it out. In an instant, he shattered the spiritual protection helmet on Xu Jiujiu's head.
"Fatty, now! Block her mouth!" Huo Yuhao directly commanded through his spiritual sharing.
The spiritual protection helmet was instantly shattered. Only then did Xu Jiujiu know that Huo Yuhao had not used his full spiritual power at all. At this time, it was already too late for her to open her mouth to surrender. Xie Huanyue's third soul skill, Bone Balloon, was activated. A huge, elongated arm instantly grabbed Xu Jiujiu's neck. His index finger shot out quickly, a finger as large as a carrot was fiercely stuffed into her mouth.
Xu Jiujiu's beautiful eyes suddenly widened. The huge index finger had completely blocked her cries. The next moment, she saw the distant Huo Yuhao's eyes emit a strange luster.
A wave of dizziness, Xu Jiujiu only felt the surrounding environment change. This was clearly a dark room.
"Your Highness the Princess, you've been waiting for a long time," in the Tsukuyomi space, Huo Yuhao's face was stern, as if looking at a dead person.
"Mmph mmph mmph..." Princess Jiujiu's face immediately showed extreme terror. Her lips were blocked by Xie Huanyue's extended arm. Her body was also inexplicably bound to a messy bed. As if guessing what she was about to face, she shook her head repeatedly.
Then, she saw another bed beside her, on which lay a woman with a delicate body.
In front of the woman's bed stood several soldiers in armor with a white tiger pattern, as well as a beautiful woman with a graceful figure. The beautiful woman was holding the hand of a little girl.
"Go on, beat me! Beat this bitch to death!"
The soldier phantoms, who had received the command, grinned. Holding a thick, long whip in their hands, they fiercely lashed at the woman on the bed.
Xu Jiujiu instantly recalled this scene. This was when she was still young, when she had gone to the White Tiger Duke's mansion as a guest to play with her spoiled and domineering little aunt.
Then, her little aunt, who had become the Duke's wife, had brought her to this place and had fiercely whipped the concubine of the White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao.
She had heard that the concubine had been very much loved by the White Tiger Duke in the past and had almost taken her little aunt's position.
The young Xu Jiujiu had found it very thrilling and had even cheered loudly at the side, wishing she could go up and beat the concubine to death herself.
What vixen? Daring to compete with their Star Luo imperial family for fame and status?
In a corner of the room, a child was being held down by a soldier, his mouth also stuffed with a torn rag, watching this scene with wide eyes.
Immediately, a wave of dizziness. Xu Jiujiu was shocked to find that she had become the concubine who was being beaten.
This respected princess only felt a sharp pain all over her body. The pain, as if her flesh and bones were being torn apart, made her mind go completely blank.
"Haha, well beaten, well beaten!"
In the room, only the clear voice of the young princess was left...
