Li Yan's martial soul was Fire Element, but it was not pure fire. Instead, it was Li Fire, containing many impurities.
If he had relied solely on cultivating as a soul master, it would have been very difficult for him to reach truly formidable strength.
Thus, he chose the path of a soul engineer.
He could not rely on his martial soul to provide him with sustained soul power for prolonged combat, but he could use his Li Fire to infuse one soul skill after another into his soul tools, imbuing them all with the aura of flame.
Heavenly Fiend Douluo did not say much. He gestured for the two to retreat, his expression extremely unpleasant.
However, the most complex team battle was already over. He was confident that in the upcoming matches, he would have enough energy to monitor every single clash between the two sides.
He refused to believe that he still wouldn't be able to stop it!
"Match start!"
With Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu's loud shout, both sides moved simultaneously.
Li Yan swung his right hand upward, and a thick soul cannon instantly appeared on his shoulder. Without even looking, he fired directly toward Huo Yuhao.
At once, a fireball the size of a human head shot straight toward Huo Yuhao at high speed.
As it flew through the air, the fireball produced a continuous series of sonic booms, and the air along its path twisted violently.
Li Fire itself was not particularly powerful, but after being compressed and condensed through a soul tool, its destructive power was still terrifying.
Integrating one's soul power attributes into a soul tool meant that this soul tool had been personally crafted by Li Yan himself.
Under normal circumstances, when anyone faced a soul tool attack, their first instinct would be to dodge.
Soul power compressed through soul tools possessed extremely formidable offensive power—evading it was the best option.
However, to Huo Yuhao, such an attack was simply too weak.
So weak that it didn't even interest him.
Huo Yuhao directly extended a finger, and extreme cold surged forth. A scene that completely overturned everyone's understanding appeared.
The fireball—was frozen!
"Holy crap!"
"What the hell?!"
"How is that possible?!"
…
Shock-filled cries rang out one after another. Almost no one could comprehend what had just happened.
Although the scene before him also stunned Li Yan, he did not panic in the slightest.
Metallic barrels instantly appeared all over his body, one beam of intense light after another lighting up.
Not only that, he swapped to a massive cannon—but this cannon was not aimed at Huo Yuhao. Instead, it fired toward the sky above him.
A gigantic fire net descended from above, rushing straight down toward Huo Yuhao's head.
This attack had been calculated in advance. If Huo Yuhao charged forward, he would inevitably be caught by the fire net.
If he halted, he would be delayed long enough for Li Yan to unleash even more soul tools.
What Li Yan was waiting for was precisely the moment when Huo Yuhao would be slowed down!
His sustained combat ability was not strong, but his burst damage was extremely terrifying—and that strongest burst had to be unleashed at the most suitable moment.
He refused to believe that Huo Yuhao was truly as godlike and invincible as he appeared in the earlier matches!
As long as one was human, there would be weaknesses.
There would be openings!
Just when everyone believed Huo Yuhao would definitely stop and wait for the fire net to fall—or detour around it—
Huo Yuhao made a choice no one had predicted.
His footsteps did not pause at all. He continued charging straight forward.
Li Yan sneered. Huo Yuhao was simply too naïve!
The fire net he had released was a soul tool he had personally developed. Like a cage, it could restrain enemies.
However, any fire-attribute attack he himself unleashed could easily pass through the fire net and continue attacking.
What he failed to account for—
Was Huo Yuhao's speed!
In the very next instant, Huo Yuhao appeared directly in front of him!
Extreme ice-cold power instantly engulfed everything. In less than a blink of an eye, Li Yan's body, his soul tools, and even the soul power within him were completely frozen!
Even his life vanished in that instant of freezing!
A fire-attribute soul master—frozen to death!
The moment Li Yan was frozen, Heavenly Fiend Douluo made his move.
But he was still one step too late.
Looking at the Sun Moon Team member who had already lost all vitality, his face darkened.
He had miscalculated—again!
It wasn't only Heavenly Fiend Douluo whose expression turned grim. The Sun Moon Team was the same.
Another companion had died!
If this continued—if they kept dying like this—then even if they ultimately won first place in the tournament, what meaning would it have?
Yet the match had to continue. A gentle but powerful force lifted Li Yan's frozen corpse and sent it off the competition stage.
The moment it landed below, Sun Moon Team soul masters immediately carried it away.
Heavenly Fiend Douluo said in a deep voice,"Sun Moon Team's second individual competitor, Chen An—step onto the stage!"
Chen An, one of the Sun Moon Team's main members. Martial soul: Flash Bird.
Chen Fei's younger brother.
The age gap between them was just over a year.
Compared to his brother, Chen An was only eighteen this year. At eighteen, being able to represent the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy as a main team member clearly indicated that his talent surpassed his brother's.
But he had only one brother—a blood relative he had always regarded as his goal.
Chen Fei was dead—killed in battle by Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix flames. From that moment on, Chen An's eyes had turned blood-red.
Now Li Yan was dead as well—someone he loved dearly!
The instant Heavenly Fiend Douluo finished speaking, Chen An leapt onto the competition stage.
His entire body seemed to ignite, a layer of invisible light flickering around him.
Unlike other soul engineers' combat styles, the moment Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu shouted "Match start," Chen An charged toward Huo Yuhao like a true bolt of lightning.
His speed was simply too fast—Chen An surpassed even his brother in speed!
The hundred-meter distance vanished in almost a single breath. Only after activating his Spirit Eyes did Huo Yuhao manage to capture Chen An's figure!
Chen An also used short swords as his weapons.
After the previous mistake, Heavenly Fiend Douluo had no choice but to stay on full alert, ready to halt the match at any moment.
"Clang—!"
An ice shield condensed in Huo Yuhao's hand, blocking a flash of golden light that streaked past.
Their collision sent sparks flying, followed by a chain of explosions detonating against Huo Yuhao's ice shield.
In the next instant, the ice shield shattered into fragments across the ground.
Chen An was a close-combat soul engineer—an extreme-speed executioner. With powerful offensive close-range soul tools combined with his astonishing speed, he was even stronger than an average Agility-type Soul King.
The pair of short swords in his hands had been reforged seven times. Each reforging made the lightning short swords even stronger.
Because of his singular dedication, this pair of short swords had already reached the level of sixth-tier soul tools!
Seeing Huo Yuhao's defense shattered by his attack, Chen An gradually descended into madness.
"Die! Die! Die!"
As the words fell, in the next instant, his entire body transformed into a streak of lightning as he launched another assault toward Huo Yuhao.
