The members of the Star Luo National Soul Master Academy all reacted extremely quickly, all releasing their own martial souls at the first moment.
Huo Yuhao's Soul Impact was tentatively displayed at the first moment. At the same time, his gaze turned to the spiritual protection shield worn on the heads of the members on the other side. He was also very curious as to how many percent of his spiritual power's soul impact this kind of inferior spiritual protection shield could withstand.
Two yellow, two purple, one black—five soul rings simultaneously appeared on this princess's body. She was impressively also a Soul King-level expert. A golden light lit up from Princess Jiujiu's forehead. It was a rhombus-shaped golden gem. After the golden, rhombus-shaped gem had appeared, it had immediately burst out with a brilliant golden light, and then had detached from her forehead, slowly floating upwards, a golden halo circling around. A magnificent crown had just like that appeared above her head, and then had slowly descended, landing on her head.
This crown was as if it were composed of countless stars. The stars were all a faint gold. With the rhombus-shaped gem as the starting point, it had quickly gathered backwards. On the crown, there were a total of eighteen larger stars that protruded upwards, forming a circle of a beautiful tip.
Star Crown. This was Princess Jiujiu's martial soul.
And the other six people in front of Princess Jiujiu, who were also the opponents that Old Ma had previously introduced in detail to the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, had also all released their respective martial souls. These six people were also all Soul King-level experts. The Star Luo National Academy at this time was actually composed of an all-Soul-King team.
Huo Yuhao's martial soul had already been released. This fellow, as if for fear that others would not know, had let out a chaotic cry up to the sky, "Super invincible spiritual electric wave impact." He saw his first soul ring's light shine greatly, and the space before him quickly twisted.
And just at this time, the light of the Star Crown on Princess Jiujiu's head shone greatly. The third soul ring on her body lit up. A strong, golden pillar of light shot up to the sky. Third Soul Skill, Star Radiance Art amplification!
The Soul Impact was like an invisible energy that had struck the spiritual protection headgear of the seven on the other side. On the transparent headgear, one after another of a rippling ripple appeared. It was actually completely blocked by this special defensive-type soul tool.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao's group had for the first time in the tournament officially revealed their own martial souls.
"That is..."
Countless people looked on with horror. When they saw the five black soul rings symbolizing ten thousand years rise from under Xie Huanyue's feet, they all couldn't help but let out a trembling cry.
The best-age soul ring quality of Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yun'er was still relatively standard. But Ju Zi was also a clean slate of four ten-thousand-year soul rings.
Especially when Cui Yejie's two black and two red soul rings rose, everyone present was unable to look directly at this absurd fact.
Two hundred-thousand-year soul rings... perhaps on the surface, among them, there was only one Soul King, Xie Huanyue. But below the Soul Sage level, the quality of the soul rings was enough to make up for the gap between the levels.
Even more so, among the members from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, there was actually only one soul tool master.
"These few people are..."
Below the stage, the members of the Shrek Academy's preparatory team who had come to watch the battle had clearly recognized the identity of the owner of this soul ring configuration.
They still remembered the shock that these people had brought them in the freshman assessment a year ago.
"Huo Yuhao? When did he go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy?" Dai Huabin's eyes were full of disbelief. If one were to say that among his peers, the only one who could make him feel an absolute sense of frustration was only the Huo Yuhao who had, with his three-ring cultivation, displayed a Soul Sage's one strike.
Now, Huo Yuhao was already four-ring. Then what step should his strength have reached? A white soul ring only seemed so terrifying on him.
"You know them?" Dai Yueheng turned his head and asked.
Facing his own elder brother, Dai Huabin did not hide it and directly gave a simple introduction of the deeds of Huo Yuhao and the others in the freshman assessment.
"In that case, they are very likely the true main force of the Sun Moon team," at the side, Chen Zifeng and Xixi looked at each other and naturally understood what it meant for a Soul Sage to appear in the tournament.
If not for Ma Xiaotao's betrayal, their trip to Star Luo could have been described with the two words "easy." Just with Ma Xiaotao alone, she could have swept through the vast majority of the teams.
"That auxiliary-type soul master of theirs should be from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. And it's even the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda with a stronger amplification," Gongyang Mo and Yao Haoxuan, as auxiliary-type soul masters, their attention was naturally on the same type of soul master on the other side.
"That Xie Huanyue and Cui Yejie both possess the most top-tier god-level martial souls in the current world, even superior to the divine beast Xuanwu after Sanshi's evolution. Originally, they should have been able to directly enter the inner court," Bei Bei also analyzed at the side.
"So strong?" Xu Sanshi also knew some things about Huo Yuhao and the others. Hearing Bei Bei's explanation of them, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Of course. The most terrifying still has to be that Huo Yuhao," Bei Bei's face was grave. "According to the news, it was all after they had come into contact with Huo Yuhao that their martial souls had evolved into their current appearance."
"You mean to say..." Cao Jinxuan thought of something, his eyes slowly widening.
"That's right. The martial souls of all of them were very likely helped by Huo Yuhao to have a second awakening or evolution."
The moment these words came out, all the members of the Shrek team fell silent.
And on the competition stage, Huo Yuhao's team had already launched a charge at the first moment. Xie Huanyue was in the lead, with Cui Yejie and Wu Feng closely behind. Ning Tian's Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had also already been summoned in her hand. It was lightly held in her palm, emitting a thick halo of light that respectively floated towards Xie Huanyue, Cui Yejie, as well as Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er, the four of them. Huo Yuhao was still standing in his original spot, and had opened his spiritual sharing to all his teammates.
Every member of the Star Luo National team was covered in a layer of gold. The golden halo around Princess Jiujiu's body had also not dissipated. A starlight was still continuously gushing out from her Star Crown.
Xie Huanyue's fourth soul ring lit up. His entire person's upper body instantly became incomparably majestic. Under the effect of this soul skill, he had temporarily shown the characteristics of an ape. His upper body was burly, while his two legs had not changed much.
How fast was the Nanmen Yun'er who had been amplified by the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? In just this short period of time, she had already rushed to the front of the opponent's formation. Her transparent wings were like sharp blades, circling around the periphery of the Star Luo National Academy's team, and had cut towards the outermost members.
Huang Heyun was standing at the very front of the team. His martial soul was the Dark Demon Tiger. He was naturally a power-attack-type battle soul master. Before Princess Jiujiu had appeared, he had always been the captain of the Star Luo National Academy's team.
In the golden light mist of Xu Jiujiu's Star Radiance Art amplification, it had fused with his own black soul power, rendering his soul power into a dark gold with a starlight, which looked very strange.
Facing Xie Huanyue's Ape King Cannon Fist, Huang Heyun let out a roar up to the sky and unhesitatingly went up to meet him. He shot a punch into the air. His first soul ring shone with a yellow light. In an instant, a dark golden, semi-arc-shaped light shield with a diameter of over one meter burst out in the air.
An airflow surged. Xie Huanyue's attack actually had not been able to penetrate the light shield by half a bit and had been blocked head-on. This was the Dark Demon Tiger's first soul skill, the Dark Wave.
But the next second, this light shield was covered with countless cracks. It was clear that it couldn't block Xie Huanyue's next attack.
Facing Xie Huanyue's fierce power attack, Huang Heyun immediately shrank his body back. His entire person slightly sat down. His third soul ring lit up. A soul power shining with a dark golden starlight, accompanied by a loud and clear tiger's roar, surged out, transforming into a tiger's shape that crashed towards Xie Huanyue's continuous cannon fists.
Third soul ring, a thousand-year soul ring skill, Demon Tiger Shaking the Heavens.
This one close-range collision, Xie Huanyue's feeling was real. He discovered that when the opponent's soul skill had collided with his own huge fist's body, the specks of golden starlight in the opponent's soul skill would be the first to burst out, like one after another of tiny bombs, continuously exploding on the surface of his fist. And this seemingly inconspicuous explosion was actually greatly weakening Xie Huanyue's attack power. With the dimming of the golden starlight, only then had the power of Huang Heyun's own soul skill collided with Xie Huanyue's Ape King Fist.
This was Xie Huanyue's fourth soul skill attack, which had been amplified by the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. From this, one could see that Princess Jiujiu's Star Crown martial soul actually had such a powerful group auxiliary power. Compared with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which was known as the strongest auxiliary tool martial soul, I'm afraid it was not much inferior.
Although he had fallen into a disadvantage, Huang Heyun had indeed blocked the first round of Xie Huanyue's offensive.
Just when Huang Heyun was in a critical situation, suddenly, the pressure before him lightened. The Ape King Fist's body of Xie Huanyue had been brought to the side by a pillar of fire.
The one who had made a move was a woman who was standing not far behind Huang Heyun. Her pair of eyes were actually rising with flames. Five soul rings pulsed on her body. Her right hand was remotely waving in Xie Huanyue's direction. The pillar of fire that had sent Xie Huanyue flying was controlled by her.
Regarding this long, dark-purple-haired young girl, Huo Yuhao remembered that in the Star Luo National Academy's team, there were two control-type soul masters, known as the Wind and Fire Dual Control.
Xie Huanyue's weakness was that he was afraid of fire and sharp slashes. To be able to so quickly make a tactic against their only Soul King, this opponent still had something.
Xu Jiujiu's attainments in spiritual power were also formidable. She was now trying to interfere with Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection sharing by displaying her Star Radiance Art, and through amplifying her teammates, she was trying to have them be able to quickly solve Huo Yuhao's companions.
While Xie Huanyue's side was being blocked by the other side's one power-attack and one control, the battle on the other side had also begun at the same time.
Cui Yejie was facing the tall and large Dugu Shangshan. His martial soul was the Nether Mad Lion, the second-ranked power-attack-type battle Soul King in the Star Luo team.
This Nether Mad Lion martial soul gave Cui Yejie a feeling of being unable to use her strength. After the Nether Mad Lion possessed him, Dugu Shangshan's body gave a kind of an illusory feeling. Although Cui Yejie's Nine-Tailed Immortal Fox martial soul was stronger, when she fought with the other party, a lot of the power on her Immortal Fox Outer Armor would always be dissipated by the illusory feeling. And the opponent also had the amplification of the Star Radiance Art, as well as a soul power level that was a whole great rank higher than her own. He had actually just like that blocked her.
Behind the other party was also a control-type battle Soul King, who was also the wind-control among the Wind and Fire Dual Control. The moment Wu Feng's side had just displayed her third soul skill, Dragon's Burst, her body had suddenly stiffened. A circle of an azure light ring had risen from under her feet and had in an instant transformed into a small tornado that had swept her within. Although it was not to the extent of blowing her to and fro, her support for Cui Yejie had been forcefully restrained.
At this point, the three great power-attacks of Huo Yuhao's team had, under the joint hands of the other side's four Soul Kings, been forcefully restrained. Of course, the credit of the Star Radiance Art in this was also great.
The situation of Nanmen Yun'er, who had been the earliest to launch an attack, was also equally precarious. Her situation was just the opposite. The one blocking her was an agility-attack-type battle Soul King. His speed was so fast that it made Nanmen Yun'er almost unable to withstand it.
Her opponent was the only agility-attack-type battle soul master in the other side's team, the Chen Xiaojie who possessed the Lightning Falcon martial soul. The original novel, when evaluating this Soul King, had only used two words: troublesome.
The Lightning Falcon was not only strangely fast, but its attack power was also very strong. To fight him, one could not be careless in the slightest. As the weakest one in Huo Yuhao's team, on Nanmen Yun'er's body, there were now at least a dozen wounds. Although none of them were considered serious, they were continuously weakening her combat power.
Princess Jiujiu's gaze, however, had not stopped on the battle before her. What she was looking at was the Huo Yuhao who was still standing in his original spot.
The battle had progressed to this point. Neither side had used their full strength. The most terrifying place in a team battle was precisely the sudden appearance of team cooperation. In that kind of situation, it was very easy to burst out with a super-strong explosive power and thus win in one fell swoop.
Huo Yuhao looked at his companions, who were in a perilous situation, but did not plan to immediately make a move to rescue them. Under the situation where their soul power levels were generally weaker than their opponents', only then could the potential of every person in their team be forced out to the greatest extent.
Besides Xie Huanyue, the rest of the partners were still just Soul Ancestors and even a Soul Elder. Wu Feng had only just barely reached level forty in Star Luo during this period of time. Nanmen Yun'er was even more so just a level thirty-four Soul Elder. There was a considerable gap with the other side's all-Soul-King configuration.
So Huo Yuhao wanted to take this opportunity to have his own base train a little.
He and Ju Zi had not made a move for a long time. And Princess Jiujiu, who was being protected by a defensive-type Soul King, also did not have any extra movements.
He knew that Xu Jiujiu was waiting for an opportunity. The time when their whole team had a great outbreak. Only at that moment would she use the level-seven soul tool.
