Chapter 105 Star Guardian.
Although the battle between Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, and the Star Luo Royal Academy seemed exceptionally intense, neither side was actually giving it their all.
The most difficult aspect of team battles to control is the sudden coordination. In such situations, it's easy to unleash a powerful burst of energy, thus changing the course of the battle.
Wu Xuan's temporary restraint in launching a direct attack was also a precaution against this. Or rather, a precaution against Xu Jiujiu.
With two players eliminated in succession, if the Star Luo Royal Academy were to launch a counterattack, the starting point would undoubtedly be this princess.
"One move to decide the outcome, sixth soul skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower."
A resounding phoenix cry suddenly rang out from the phoenix phantom behind Ma Xiaotao. Her fiery wings lashed downwards, and a beam of red light shot into the sky. That red light was clearly in the form of a fire phoenix, and blazing phoenix flames erupted instantly.
Xu Jiujiu seemed to be responding to Wu Xuan's gaze, revealing a composed smile. It seemed that she had been waiting, or rather, anticipating, this moment all along.
A golden light shot from her hand; it was definitely not a soul skill. The light flashed and struck Ma Xiaotao's terrifying phoenix flames that soared into the sky.
A bizarre scene unfolded: a golden light shield descended from the sky, instantly swirling back and completely enveloping Ma Xiaotao's unleashed sixth soul skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower. It then rapidly descended, suppressing Ma Xiaotao herself within, effectively suppressing her strongest soul skill.
Ma Xiaotao felt a suffocating sensation descend upon her. She tried to dodge, but the golden light instantly pursued her, suppressing her within.
At the top of the golden light shield was a shimmering bead with 108 cross-sections. This bead, about the size of a fist, shimmered brilliantly and spun rapidly. Trapped within, Ma Xiaotao immediately launched a frantic attack on the light shield, but only managed to create ripples, unable to cause any damage.
This sudden change shocked the entire Shrek Academy team. It's important to understand that there was a reason they chose to unleash their attack at this moment. Wang Yan named this tactic "Ice and Fire in Dual Formations." Ling Luochen's ice mist provided comprehensive control and suppression, but the true key to victory was Ma Xiaotao's sixth soul skill! However, who would have thought that Ma Xiaotao would be so easily suppressed by her opponent?
Princess Jiujiu's tactics were clearly pre-arranged; the moment Ma Xiaotao was trapped, her fourth soul ring lit up. Centered on her body, a dense burst of starlight erupted, this time as brilliant as the sun. It formed a light shield, forcefully blocking the ice mist, only enveloping their three allies, Dai Yueheng, Wu Xuan, and the trapped Ma Xiaotao.
Eighteen stars appeared on the surface of the light shield, shining brightly.
Huang Heyun, who was originally fighting Ma Xiaotao, and the Lightning Falcon Battle Soul King, who had been suppressed by Chen Zifeng, immediately shifted their attacks to Dai Yueheng. Wu Xuan even saw Huang Heyun take out a soul tool.
The last remaining Soul King beside Princess Jiu Jiu attacked Wu Xuan without hesitation.
Saint Wing, a defensive Soul King, wielding the Giant Winged Eagle.
As a defensive Soul King, Saint Wing was naturally not easy to deal with; his second and fourth Soul Rings shone simultaneously. His enormous wings first turned iron-gray, then burst forth with a strong metallic luster.
Wu Xuan sneered. With a frenzied surge of his Soul Power, an Extreme Wind howled outwards from Wu Xuan, directly annihilating Saint Wing's attack, and then eroding the starlight-shimmering shield. But a scene that shocked Wu Xuan appeared: the previously invincible Annihilation attribute met with a wall here, consuming nearly thirty percent of Wu Xuan's Soul Power, and only three of the eighteen stars gradually dimmed.
On the city wall of the Imperial City. The Emperor of the Star Luo Empire revealed a faint smile. "Our Star Crown lineage's Star Guardian hasn't appeared on the continent for who knows how long. The Soul Master world has probably forgotten this powerful area-of-effect defensive Soul Skill known as Attribute Isolation."
"It's just right for dealing with the Ultimate Wind. My little sister is still unconvinced by my assessment of that little guy, probably because of this. Once that little guy grows up, I'd like to see the result of a contest between Star Guardian and Ultimate Attribute at the same level."
Wu Xuan's expression was somber. His fourth Soul Skill had been given to the Sun Moon Team as a grand gift by Wang Yan, and naturally, he couldn't use it now. In this situation, without using his fourth Soul Skill, he seemed to have only one choice.
Facing the Holy Wings' renewed attack, Wu Xuan clenched his left hand into a claw, a flash of silver light erupting from his palm.
With a clang, a silver spear appeared out of thin air in Wu Xuan's hand, once again blocking the iron-gray giant wings that Saint Wing was attacking.
"What?" Saint Wing was shocked, staring in disbelief at the silver spear in Wu Xuan's hand.
"First Soul Skill, Soul Suppression!"
Wu Xuan shouted coldly, swinging his spear. The blade of the Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand spun, and the spiritual power in his sea of consciousness surged out instantly from the purple rhomboid crystal.
Saint Wing felt as if his head had been hit hard by a thousand-pound hammer, and his vision went blank for a moment.
Dai Yueheng was startled when he saw Wu Xuan reveal the Soul-Breaking Spear. He feinted and then retreated quickly. Ma Xiaotao, who was trapped in the air, also hurriedly used her soul power to protect herself and take a defensive stance. They had experienced the terrifying spiritual attack of Wu Xuan's Soul-Breaking Spear before, and they never wanted to experience that feeling again in their lives.
But the three members of the Star Luo team who were besieging Dai Yueheng did not know this. Just as they were about to use their soul tools to gather their soul power, they were knocked to the ground by the terrifying spiritual power.
From afar, Xu Jiujiu stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding before her. Their strategy from the beginning had been to eliminate Dai Yueheng, whose strength was second only to Ma Xiaotao, and Wu Xuan, who possessed an ultimate martial soul, within the Star Guardian, thus crippling the enemy with two powerful warriors.
But who could have imagined that Wu Xuan possessed another spiritual attribute martial soul, and even a ten-thousand-year soul ring?
"First Soul Skill, Divine Might - Soul Breaker!"
Wu Xuan raised the Soul Breaker spear in his hand, and at that moment, the first black ring around his body erupted with incomparably dazzling light. Under the reflection of the silver light, the entire spear became ethereal.
As Wu Xuan threw the Soul Breaker spear, the dazzling silver light seemed to cleave everything in two, even the Star Guardian before him seemed to tremble at its appearance.
The next instant, the silver light pierced through.
"Clang—"
In a single instant, the Star Guardian shattered, and Princess Jiujiu suddenly felt as if she had been struck by a tremendous force in her chest, and the star crown on her forehead rang out with a clang like shattering metal.
Cracks appeared on the rhombus-shaped gem at the center of the star crown, and then the Star Guardian collapsed instantly.
"How is this possible?!"
This question arose in everyone's mind.
Standing at the edge of the arena, Xu Jiujiu, her pretty face pale as she emerged from the golden mist, stared intently at Wu Xuan.
Shattering her opponent's martial soul in a single blow—what kind of soul skill was this?
