Chapter 115 One Against Three.
The rain grew increasingly fine, undoubtedly enhancing Ling Luochen's control over ice elements. However, the rain also provided an excellent avenue for her opponents' poison to spread.
Ling Luochen calmly walked onto the arena, standing across from the referee.
The rain continued to fall, and the two slowly retreated in the rain. Meng Hongchen's expression was like that of a proud peacock.
Ling Luochen slowly retreated to the edge of the arena, exhaling slightly. The raindrops around her gently dispersed, unable to touch her.
"The match begins."
In that instant, Ling Luochen performed an extremely magnificent scene.
Her Martial Soul was released, and her Soul Rings naturally appeared. The moment they appeared, her five Soul Rings began to flash alternately.
Within a maximum of three breaths, Ling Luochen unleashed five Soul Skills in succession. It was clear that from the first hundred-year Soul Ring to the final ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, the five halos rippled and flickered.
As the five spirit rings flashed in succession, the first thing to appear in her hand was naturally the Ice Staff. Raised amidst the shimmering halo, the staff was covered in a crystal-clear ice armor, completely protecting her entire body, even her mouth and nose. Simultaneously, an ice prison enveloped Meng Hongchen's body, trapping her within. A massive burst of icy mist erupted instantly from Ling Luochen's center, followed by the expansion of the Ice Ring. The extremely cold icy mist raged and spread rapidly within the arena's protective barrier at an astonishing speed.
As a regular member of Shrek Academy, Ling Luochen's control over ice elements was second nature.
To Ling Luochen's surprise, while she unleashed her full power, brilliantly executing five spirit skills in succession, Meng Hongchen seemed completely controlled by her ice prison, showing no sign of trying to break free. A hint of disdain even appeared on her lips.
Amplified by the Ice Ring, the icy mist not only reached extremely low temperatures but also spread incredibly quickly. In the blink of an eye, it had spread throughout the entire arena.
In reality, the audience didn't particularly like Soul Masters like Ling Luochen, as her attacks significantly impacted the viewing experience.
Soon, the icy mist enveloped the entire arena, obscuring everything.
One minute passed, two minutes passed, and amidst everyone's agonizing wait, five minutes passed.
The icy mist on the arena gradually dissipated… revealing Ling Luochen slumped on the stage.
At this moment, the referee, Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu, stood beside Ling Luochen, his body enveloped in a protective shield formed from starlight. Clearly, he too had been wary of the previous battle.
Just then, accompanied by a series of crisp sounds, thin pieces of ice fell from Meng Hongchen's body, shattering on the ground. Her face still wore that disdainful smile.
"Ice can isolate my poison? Too bad, my martial soul is also ice-attribute. Transmitting poison through ice is precisely what I excel at. So, your loss is not unjust."
As she spoke, a blue light flashed in her right hand, and a blue longsword appeared in her palm. With a slash in front of her, a chilling blue light flashed, cleaving open the ice prison no longer under Ling Luochen's control, and she stepped out.
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy wins. Shrek Academy, please send in your previous team member." The Heavenly Fiend Douluo waved his hand, and a ball of starlight enveloped the pale-faced Ling Luochen, sending her off the stage.
Xiao Xiao and Wang Yan rushed forward to catch Ling Luochen. At this moment, Ling Luochen, like Bei Bei before, was completely unconscious, even her complexion was identical.
Two consecutive victories. And it could even be described as bloodless; Meng Hongchen was now practically the backbone of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
"Next." Meng Hongchen's voice rang out again like a death knell. Her expression remained proud, but this time, those three simple words weighed heavily on the Shrek Academy team's waiting area.
Wang Yan's face was filled with horror.
No matter how well he planned his tactics, he was at a loss. Who could have imagined that the Sun Moon Team would have such a terrifying Poison Soul Master? Both Bei Bei and Ling Luo Chen had been defeated without even a direct confrontation.
All eyes then turned to Jiang Nan Nan, who was about to enter the fray.
Jiang Nan Nan's expression changed slightly, not out of fear, but because she felt that if she were to lose like Bei Bei and Ling Luo Chen, Shrek Academy's situation would become even more dire.
Chen Zifeng and his two companions wanted to take Jiang Nannan's place, as it would take Meng Hongchen time to poison them with their cultivation levels. However, the order of appearance in the individual elimination rounds was already set and could not be changed.
"Both sides step back," Tian Sha Douluo repeated habitually.
"The match begins."
Jiang Nannan's martial soul quality and foundation were inferior to Bei Bei and the others. Bathed in the drizzle, her slightly curly golden hair gradually became wet, and even with soul power protecting her, she began to feel numbness in her body.
But compared to Bei Bei and Ling Luochen, she had her advantages. That was her third soul skill, Teleportation, and her fourth soul skill, Invincible Golden Body.
As her fourth soul ring lit up, Jiang Nannan's entire body radiated dazzling golden light, completely blocking the all-pervasive poison of the Zhu Qing Ice Toad.
Immediately afterwards, her purple thousand-year soul ring shone continuously.
Activating her Teleportation soul skill, Jiang Nannan's figure appeared in front of Meng Hongchen in a few flashes.
The Invincible Golden Body only lasts for three seconds; her progress depends entirely on those three seconds.
Facing Jiang Nannan's attack, Meng Hongchen scoffed disdainfully.
In the previous team battles, Jiang Nannan had already revealed her Invincible Golden Body and Teleportation soul skills. She had been on guard against this.
"Third Soul Skill, Ice Refraction!"
The next moment, a sheet of ice, about five meters in diameter and mirror-like, appeared beneath her feet. The ice reflected her image, looking quite strange.
A bizarre scene unfolded: just as Jiang Nannan was about to touch Meng Hongchen, two Meng Hongchens suddenly appeared on that five-meter-diameter ice surface. A flash of white light, and the Meng Hongchen in front of her vanished as a phantom, while the original Meng Hongchen changed position, directly appearing behind Jiang Nannan.
Then, Meng Hongchen leaped, quickly creating distance between herself and Jiang Nannan.
At this moment, Jiang Nannan's face paled, and her movements became much slower.
It wasn't just the excessive consumption of soul power from continuously using the third and fourth soul skills; more importantly, the deadly poison of the Zhu Qing Ice Toad was beginning to take effect.
Time passed quietly, and in just two minutes, Jiang Nannan unsurprisingly followed in the footsteps of Bei Bei and Ling Luochen.
Thus, Meng Hongchen eliminated three Shrek Academy students in a one-against-three battle.
Wang Yan's expression turned grim.
Meng Hongchen had achieved a bloodless victory against three Shrek Academy students, a first in this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.
The spectators in Xingluo Square were also filled with strange expressions, whispering amongst themselves.
This was Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent! They had been defeated three times by a reserve team student from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy who looked to be under fifteen years old. This had never happened before, not only in this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, but in all previous tournaments.
"Next," Meng Hongchen's voice remained as cold and indifferent as ever.
