A massive fireball formed in front of Lin Xiuran, instantly colliding with the fireball created by Gu Yue.
Gu Yue raised an eyebrow, her hands moving without pause, and several ice spikes flew out, covering a wide area. They directly engulfed Lin Xiuran and Xu Xiaoyan.
Xu Xiaoyan's face showed surprise, but she wanted to use her soul skill to counterattack; she and Lin Xiuran should be able to withstand the ice spikes.
However, contrary to expectations, Lin Xiuran didn't stay in place to cooperate with her counterattack. Instead, he took the lead, rushing out at an extremely fast speed.
This caught Xu Xiaoyan somewhat off guard, but she wasn't one to be trifled with. She raised her ice staff high, launching an attack directly at Gu Yue.
The instant freezing sensation directly affected Gu Yue's elemental control, causing the ice spikes to miss Xu Xiaoyan.
At this moment, Lin Xiuran had already arrived beside Xie Xie, joining the attack on Tang Wulin.
There was no way around it; Tang Wulin had obtained the first ring of the millennium, greatly enhancing his strength. Both his control and offensive capabilities were
now far beyond what was expected. Even though Xie Xie had made significant progress in combining the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger, he still couldn't break through Tang Wulin's defenses. He couldn't mount a real attack, and at this rate, he would be defeated sooner or later.
Lin Xiuran's arrival undoubtedly created a two-on-one situation. Flames ignited in his hand as he unleashed a palm strike.
Tang Wulin didn't hesitate; his Blue Silver Grass instantly erupted, attacking the two directly. Even with his superior single-target attack power, he would inevitably be at a disadvantage against a two-on-one attack.
Therefore, using the Blue Silver Grass to restrain them was the best option.
The Blue Silver Grass around Tang Wulin instantly converged, weaving into a protective shield, blocking his path.
When the Light Dragon Dagger struck, almost all the Blue Silver Grasses flashed with light, seemingly taking the hit together without any damage.
Distribute the damage! Blue Silver Grasses that have evolved to the thousand-year level possess an additional self-sufficiency ability. When attacked, they automatically distribute the attack across each blade, thus neutralizing it.
This distribution isn't a matter of soul skill, but rather Tang Wulin's control over his mental power. The number of Blue Silver Grasses Tang Wulin can control to distribute the damage in that instant determines the amount of damage he distributes.
Xie Xie's attacks were like hitting cotton, one blade being severed only to be immediately followed by another. The countless Blue Silver Grasses before him caused him considerable trouble.
His damage output was insufficient; after all, he was an agility-based attacker, and control-based attacks counter agility-based attacks—a well-known fact in the soul master world.
Tang Wulin's control abilities were previously too weak, disproportionate to Xie Xie's, which is why his strength hadn't manifested. However, now that his only soul ring has evolved to the thousand-year level, everything is different.
However, in the next instant, flames instantly engulfed the Blue Silver Grass. This flammable material spread rapidly, quickly burning the Blue Silver Grass to ashes.
Xie Xie breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lin Xiuran, nodded, then gripped his twin daggers tightly and launched another attack.
He immediately activated his second soul skill, Light Dragon Storm. His body, centered on the Light Dragon Dagger, instantly spiraled out like a drill.
But this wasn't the end. Xie Xie gritted his teeth and swung his other Shadow Dragon Dagger. Within the Light Dragon Storm, an even stronger invisible storm erupted. The two combined, instantly amplifying the airflow around his body several times over, while simultaneously accelerating him, transforming him into a phantom. A
Double Dragon Storm composed of the Light Dragon Storm and the Shadow Dragon Storm!
Xie Xie attacked Tang Wulin at an extremely fast speed, even leaving afterimages.
However, it was clearly not so easy for him to get close. Just as he was about to reach Tang Wulin, Xie Xie's movements suddenly paused, as if his throat had been choked, causing him to hesitate for a moment. Gu Yue used spatial elements to momentarily imprison Xie Xie, giving Tang Wulin an opportunity to attack.
The Golden Dragon Claw struck instantly, eliminating Xie Xie without a doubt.
Only Lin Xiuran remained on the field. As for Xu Xiaoyan, she had already been eliminated by Gu Yue while Lin Xiuran and Xie Xie attacked Tang Wulin.
After all, she could only interfere with Gu Yue once, not every time. Gu Yue's strength was undeniable, and her mental power was overwhelmingly superior.
Gu Yue's eyes narrowed, and her hands began to form complex hand gestures in front of her, first a ball of blue light and then a ball of red light. The two combined, instantly unleashing extremely unstable soul power fluctuations. The next instant, it was unleashed.
Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw didn't stop, attacking Lin Xiuran as well.
The double pressure seemed almost impossible to break, but Lin Xiuran didn't give up. Seeing Gu Yue's ice and fire orb, a purple light flashed in his eyes.
After that flash of purple light, Gu Yue suddenly lost control of the light sphere, turning it around and attacking Tang Wulin directly.
Tang Wulin didn't react in time; who could have expected Gu Yue's attack to suddenly come at him?
Caught off guard, he was sent flying.
Gu Yue's eyes widened in surprise, and she was momentarily annoyed. She wanted to continue attacking Lin Xiuran, but her body suddenly felt weak, unable to properly utilize her elemental power to counterattack.
And with Tang Wulin's defensive strength, this attack posed no threat to him. Almost immediately, he soared into the air again, wielding the Golden Dragon Claw.
A faint dragon's might emanated from Tang Wulin, and the top-tier pressure of the Golden Dragon King instantly acted on Lin Xiuran.
But at the same time, for some reason, Lin Xiuran felt as if a ball of flame had ignited on his body. Looking at the extremely powerful Golden Dragon Claw, he showed no fear whatsoever.
His entire right arm was almost completely engulfed in flames, even burning his school uniform. With the aid of wind, the flames intensified.
This punch directly met Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw head-on.
At this moment, everyone watched the duel with utmost focus. Clearly, this was no longer a simple duel, but a contest of potential.
The others hadn't witnessed Lin Xiuran's true strength, but they were very familiar with Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw.
The Golden Dragon King wasn't just powerful in attack; its unique crushing mechanism was terrifying. Even so, Lin Xiuran still met it head-on.
Wu Changkong was also surprised by the strength Lin Xiuran displayed, but he was now more worried.
He knew the power of Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw very well, and it was precisely because he knew that he was worried. If anything unexpected happened, it would truly be a loss.
He considered stopping the match, but hesitated. Lin Xiuran's confidence was unparalleled, therefore, he chose to believe in him.
