Chapter 216: Ye Yin Zhu Makes Her Move
The team battle was about to begin, with all fourteen competitors stepping onto the arena, and the atmosphere became tense.
"I thought you'd forfeit the team battle too? I heard your name is Feng Xiaotian. I think you should change it to Feng Forfeit," the little rabbit couldn't help but take a jab at them, still bitter about being toyed with earlier.
"Hmph, this is the most advantageous tactic for us. It's just a matter of forfeiting unnecessary matches," Feng Xiaotian replied smugly.
"Tch, as if you have a chance of winning," the little rabbit retorted with a smirk.
After some back-and-forth bickering, the referee announced the start of the match.
Shenfeng Academy's seven players immediately summoned their martial souls. As Soul Kings, they were supposed to be strong contenders for the top 3, but who could have predicted they'd face the Imperial Fight Team II?
Ning Rongrong reacted without hesitation and immediately summoned the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—never stop working!"
Long Nianbing also summoned his Everlasting Blade and formed a blade formation that floated around Ning Rongrong and Ye Yin Zhu for protection, making sure his fragile teammates wouldn't get cut.
Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu exchanged a glance and decided not to waste time with unnecessary probing. They immediately unleashed their trump card that they'd been working on for a month.
"Dual Fusion Technique—Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Double-Headed Wolf!"
By using Huo Wu's power, Feng Xiaotian opened up nine dimensions, and with fire wings and a two-headed demon wolf, they formed the "Fire Double-Headed Wolf."
The group from Imperial Fight Team II tensed up upon seeing the move. The strength of this technique was evident just by the naked eye.
Ah Du immediately released his third soul skill and vanished into the arena. Zhu Zhuqing also disappeared in an instant, and Long Nianbing immediately activated his Everlasting Blade's defense barrier in front of the team.
Countless yellow blades shot up from the arena, forming a web-like shield with surging soul power flowing through the gaps.
The pressure from the two assassins caused the rest of Shenfeng Academy's team to tense up.
They had to give all their soul power to their team leader before being defeated, relying on Huo Wu's fusion ring technique to activate the "Shenfeng Four-Person Fusion Ring Combination Skill."
In an instant, Feng Xiaotian's aura exploded, reaching the power of a Soul Emperor.
But Feng Xiaotian knew he couldn't waste any time. With the help of Huo Wu and the other team members, he began to unleash his "Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Slash," though this attack needed time to charge and wouldn't be able to break through Long Nianbing's Everlasting Barrier just yet.
The little rabbit wouldn't give him the chance to charge up. She immediately used her teleportation skill and appeared behind Huo Wu, intending to stop her from supplying soul power.
However, Huo Wushuang was prepared and immediately blocked the little rabbit's path, preventing her from launching her attack.
Seeing that Xiao Wu's intent was foiled, the seemingly invisible Nami, who had barely been noticed throughout the qualifiers, finally made her move. Her fourth dark soul ring began to glow.
"Fourth Soul Skill—Raging Wave Howl."
The Tidal Shark Princess raised her staff and began chanting. A massive wave surged toward Shenfeng Academy's formation, shocking the team.
However, Feng Xiaotian's attack came from the sky, unaffected by the wave, as he focused solely on completing his charge for the thirty-sixth slash.
Seeing this, Huo Wushuang gritted her teeth and activated her third and fourth soul rings simultaneously.
"Third Soul Skill—Raging Dragon Fury, Fourth Soul Skill—Transforming Fire Dragon."
A ten-meter-long fire dragon surrounded Huo Wushuang and rushed toward the tidal wave.
The arena was filled with the sound of boiling water, and the entire arena became surrounded by steam.
Huo Wushuang managed to block Nami's tidal wave, buying Feng Xiaotian some time.
But the four remaining members of Shenfeng Academy weren't so lucky and were immediately attacked by Ah Du and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Razor Blade Slash."
"Ghostly Slash."
Two members were sent flying off the stage, and the little rabbit didn't waste any time. After seeing her teammates succeed, she teleported to one of the Shenfeng team members and launched her attack.
As she attacked, the little rabbit seemed to think of something fun. Her eyes lit up.
"Nami, catch the bubble!"
Xiao Wu kicked one of the members into the air, and Nami understood instantly, beginning to cooperate with the little rabbit.
"First Soul Skill—Blue Wave Prison!"
Nami's staff flicked, and a water ball shot out, hitting the free-falling Shenfeng member, and he swallowed a full belly of water before he could recover.
"Well done, Nami! Another one—catch the bubble!"
The little rabbit teleported again to the last Shenfeng member's side and kicked him with a Tiger Kick.
"Good job, Sister Xiao Wu!"
Another water bubble was caught, and Nami's precision training showed excellent results.
Huo Wushuang's face darkened, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't spare her attention to the others and quickly moved to protect Huo Wu, ensuring she could continue supplying soul power to Feng Xiaotian.
But Ah Du and Zhu Zhuqing didn't give them this chance. They quickly closed in and launched their attacks.
"Fourth Soul Skill—Shadow Split!"
Ah Du 's persistent soul skill, which no one had been able to break so far except for Ning Bei, directly entered Huo Wushuang's body. A giant dark-golden scythe appeared above her head.
Huo Wushuang felt her soul power rapidly draining, but she couldn't focus on that, as Zhu Zhuqing began her fast and relentless assault on her.
Strike and retreat. Huo Wushuang couldn't even touch Zhu Zhuqing. Within seconds, she was covered in countless wounds.
Thankfully, Feng Xiaotian had completed the thirty-sixth charge and was about to unleash his strongest strike.
Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu both revealed relieved smiles, secretly pleased with themselves. They had managed to buy enough time for Feng Xiaotian to prepare his final blow.
"Wind Demon Wolf Thirty-Six!"
As Feng Xiaotian was about to release his attack toward the Everlasting Barrier, a piercing sound of a zither entered his mind, causing him to feel dizzy for a moment.
It turned out that Ye Yin Zhu was playing her zither behind Long Nianbing.
"Fifth Soul Skill—Shocking Magic Sound."
Before Feng Xiaotian could snap out of his soul-shocking trance, another musical sound reverberated in his mind.
"Fourth Soul Skill—Terrifying Nocturne."
The deep, eerie zither music filled the arena, but none of the little ones felt anything strange because Ye Yin Zhu had directed her soul skills precisely at Feng Xiaotian.
Having just recovered from dizziness, Feng Xiaotian looked up and saw the scene that made his eyes burn with rage—Huo Wu was sitting with a group of black-clad individuals, casually inspecting the Nightlight Soul Bone in front of everyone.
The chilling, drawn-out scream of Huo Wu echoed in Feng Xiaotian's ears, turning his vision red as if he wanted to destroy the entire world.
"No! No... No!!!"
At this point, Feng Xiaotian could no longer focus on his Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Slash. He rushed forward and began hacking at the black-clad figures.
However, Huo Wu, who had gotten up, didn't thank him. Instead, she glared at him and said:
"Why disturb me and my lovers?"
"Why? Why don't you go die?"
Her voice and words were full of resentment, which crushed Feng Xiaotian completely.
His heart shattered in disbelief as he staggered back, his Demon Wolf Martial Soul showing signs of cracking. His knees buckled, and his hands dug deep into the floor, leaving deep scratches.
