Chapter 189 The Holy Angel.
This longsword is unlike ordinary soul tools. The seven stars on the sword are not the core formation; the core formation of this longsword is inside the hilt. Although there are only three, Wu Xuan could tell at a glance that it was made through micro-carving. Micro-carving of the core formation is a very high-end technology.
"Number three arena, Yang Xuan! vs. Number three arena, Ye Guyi!" The referee reacted and immediately stepped forward to announce loudly.
Ye Guyi? Hearing the familiar name from his previous life, Wu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned. Isn't this the inheritor of the Holy Angel Martial Soul? How dare she openly grow up and run to the stronghold of evil soul masters to participate in the arena competition?
"The match begins!" The referee ignored everything else and directly announced the start of the match.
Ye Guyi lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her delicate body swept towards Wu Xuan like a yellow cloud.
The longsword in her hand pointed forward, and the blade swung lightly in the air, instantly creating a hazy sword shadow that enveloped Wu Xuan.
Seeing the girl's flawed attacks, Wu Xuan smiled calmly. He thrust out his Thunder Prison Spring Spear, the powerful blade striking the Seven Star Longsword amidst the sword shadows with perfect accuracy.
"Clang!" A crisp sound rang out, and Wu Xuan's terrifying force forced Ye Guyi to retreat uncontrollably.
Looking at the trembling longsword in her hand, Ye Guyi's face flushed red. She had just said his strength was nothing special, yet his attack, using only eighty percent of his power without his Martial Soul activated, was so easily blocked by his casual flick of the wrist. Pulling off her veil, Ye Guyi finally became serious. With a flick of her wrist, the longsword transformed into countless rays of light, gathering into countless shimmering starlight that shot towards Wu Xuan in an instant.
Wu Xuan did not become dazed and forget the occasion just because the other party revealed his face. He remained calm and composed. Looking at the incoming attack, he suddenly wielded the Liquan Spear in his hand. The spear blade, crackling with wisps of lightning, tore through the air and struck the flying starlight one shot after another. With a deep sonic boom, he completely dealt with those starlight.
Having failed again, Ye Guyi's pretty face immediately turned serious. The strength of the person before her far exceeded her expectations.
Wu Xuan sheathed his gun and grinned maliciously, blurting out trash talk, "Warm-up's over, little girl? If you don't show some skill, I'll send you off with one shot."
"Warm-up? Little girl?" Looking at Wu Xuan's face, which was even more youthful than hers, Ye Guyi's previous seriousness vanished, replaced by a surge of anger as she glared at him.
Two yellow, two purple, and one black—five optimal spirit ring combinations rose from beneath Ye Guyi's feet. At the same time, two pure white wings appeared behind her.
"Optimal spirit ring combination? A Soul King?" The entire audience erupted in cheers almost simultaneously upon noticing the third arena.
Geniuses with optimal spirit ring combinations were extremely rare in the Sun Moon Empire; they were practically phoenix feathers.
Looking at Ye Guyi's holy face after her martial soul was possessed, Wu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then helplessly covered his face. What was wrong with him? He couldn't control his mouth every time he bullied a little girl, and just one sentence had made her unleash her full power.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Holy Sword!"
As the jet-black ten-thousand-year soul ring shone, Ye Guyi's right hand had now completely turned platinum gold, and a strong sword light covered the seven-star longsword in her hand.
She flashed forward, and the longsword in her hand slashed directly at Wu Xuan.
The Thunder Prison Spring Spear suddenly trembled. Under the infusion of Wu Xuan's soul power, pale white lightning instantly covered the entire spear. He took two steps forward, and the longsword drew a flashing arc of electricity in mid-air. The air roared and exploded continuously, and then it directly and without retreating did not back down, it slashed at the platinum longsword that was suddenly slashing down.
"Clang!"
The two collided head-on, sparks flew, and an amazing shock wave also surged out from the point of contact. Intense holy light surged through the spear tip towards the shaft of the Liquan Spear. However, upon reaching the shaft, the scales and patterns on it suddenly began to writhe, forcefully dissolving the holy light completely.
The Extreme Wind Annihilation attribute activated.
The two separated, and Ye Guyi looked at Wu Xuan with some astonishment, "What kind of martial soul do you possess that surpasses my holy power?"
"I'll tell you if you beat me." Wu Xuan tilted his spear tip and smiled faintly.
"Fine, fine! You really underestimate me if I don't show you some skill!" Ye Guyi shouted, her longsword trembling violently, and her holy wings unfurled.
"Third Soul Skill, Holy Praise!"
A strong golden light erupted from her body, with white light flashing within it. Each feather emitted a soft golden-white mist, and the intense light made her seem almost transparent.
"First Soul Skill, Holy Light Illuminates All!"
A rich holy aura emanated from her. She pointed her longsword forward, and instantly, countless sword beams shot towards Wu Xuan.
As expected of a holy angel! Wu Xuan nodded inwardly. The holy aura emanating from Ye Guyi made him feel as if he were bathed in warmth, but this warmth seeped into his body relentlessly. If he were an evil soul master, his strength would probably be greatly weakened.
Wu Xuan watched the fierce attack rapidly magnify in his eyes, his expression remaining unchanged. He lightly touched the ground with his spear, and after a moment, the spear slowly tilted downwards. His arm suddenly trembled, and a strange buzzing sound emanated from the spear, accompanied by dazzling lightning.
"Soaring Thunder!"
Taking a step forward, the eight core arrays on the spear instantly lit up. Wu Xuan swung the spear forward, unleashing a soaring bolt of lightning. The light converged, transforming into a dazzling bolt of lightning that met Ye Guyi's attack.
In an instant, a series of deafening explosions erupted, followed by an exceptionally fierce gust of wind that swept across the area. The spectators in the front rows were caught off guard and were thrown off balance, looking extremely disheveled.
The lightning shattered the sword light. Ye Guyi's pretty face changed slightly. Her wings flapped, and she immediately ascended into the air.
She gripped the Seven Star Sword with both hands, raising it high above her head, and her second soul ring lit up.
Behind her, a six-winged angel's shadow flashed. The sword light instantly surged, its dazzling blade so bright it was almost blinding.
A massive sword light, three zhang long and over one zhang wide, descended from the sky, slashing directly at Wu Xuan's lightning.
Holy Spirit Slash! The Holy Angel Martial Soul, second soul skill.
When this attack appeared, the lightning rushing towards Ye Guyi was instantly forced back. Wu Xuan felt as if his soul was locked. Ye Guyi, with her fifth, third, and first soul skills—the power of this sword light was unimaginable.
The massive sword light transformed into a dazzling rainbow, descending from the sky.
Faced with such pressure, Wu Xuan felt his mind was exceptionally clear. The lightning around the Thunder Prison Spring Spear receded completely, and at this moment, everything around Wu Xuan became sharp and blinding, enough to make one dizzy with just a glance.
A simple, unadorned spear thrust out, and the oncoming massive sword light shattered instantly.
Ye Guyi, suspended in mid-air, felt her mind go blank, and crashed straight onto the arena.
"Reign Supreme!!"
Unlike the "Reign Supreme" technique taught by Elder Mu, Wu Xuan's attack seemed to have completely broken free of its template, forging a new path—one primarily based on spiritual power, supplemented by soul power.
