Chapter 190 One Strike, Zhou Yi Defeated!
Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, was pleased with the duel between Kong Xuan and Zhou Yi.
Therefore, he immediately said, "Teacher Zhou, let's stop here!"
Although he said that, he didn't think Zhou Yi could win at all, after all, he knew about the battle armor.
"Dean Yan, rest assured, I will definitely teach him to respect his teachers and not harm his life."
Zhou Yi's eyes sparkled as she pondered how to teach Kong Xuan a lesson.
She had no idea that she was now completely abandoned by everyone.
Her own students and her own dean knew that Kong Xuan was capable of unleashing the strength of a Soul Saint, but they kept it a secret from her, simply waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
All the waiting people had arrived, so Kong Xuan stopped talking and directly activated his Martial Soul.
He held the crystal-clear Sky-Piercing Spear in his hand, its incandescent white light proclaiming its sharpness.
What followed, almost defied everyone's expectations, was the spirit ring that rose from beneath his feet.
There was no yellow, century-old soul ring as I had imagined.
The first thing to emerge was a deep and rich purple—a thousand-year-old soul ring!
Immediately afterwards, the second spirit ring was still a dazzling purple, and it took another thousand years.
The third spirit ring suddenly turned a deep, dark color, like a bottomless abyss, swallowing the light.
Black! A ten-thousand-year-old soul ring!
The fourth and fifth spirit rings that followed were naturally still as black as ink.
Two purples! Three blacks!
A total of five spirit rings, exceeding the optimal ratio and even surpassing everyone's imagination.
The entire arena seemed to have been hit by a silent bomb, and all the spectators were momentarily stunned into a blank and deathly silence.
The first ring in a millennium?
The third ring of ten thousand years?
How... is this possible?!
This completely violates the ironclad rule that has been passed down for countless years in the world of Soul Masters. How could a human body withstand the energy impact of a thousand-year or even ten-thousand-year-old Soul Ring when it is so weak?
This is simply unbelievable and unheard of.
After a brief silence, there was an uproar and incredulous exclamations, like a volcanic eruption.
In the arena, he was Kong Xuan's opponent.
Zhou Yi's pupils suddenly contracted, and the coldness and anger on her face were replaced by this enormous shock.
She stared intently at the five extraordinary spirit rings on Kong Xuan's body, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
She coached at Shrek Academy for many years and saw countless geniuses.
But she had never seen or even heard of anyone possessing such an incredible soul ring configuration, which was completely beyond her comprehension.
Even though she disliked Kong Xuan, she had to admit that he was indeed the strongest genius she had ever seen.
"you..."
Zhou Yi's voice even had a slightly dry quality that was barely perceptible.
She finally understood where his arrogant confidence came from; he was no ordinary Soul King.
However, Zhou Yi was an experienced Soul Emperor after all, and after the initial shock, she quickly forced herself to calm down.
No matter how amazing the Soul Ring configuration is, one is still ultimately a Soul King.
The difference in soul power level was real; she had one more soul ring and one more soul skill than her opponent, and her total soul power also exceeded that of her opponent.
The advantage still lies with her in this match!
"No wonder he's so arrogant, he must have something to rely on."
Zhou Yi took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and her eyes sharpened again.
"However, do you think that you can bridge the gap between a Soul King and a Soul Emperor just by having a superior Soul Ring?"
"Today, I will show you that the gap in levels cannot be easily overcome by talent alone."
As soon as she finished speaking, six spirit rings appeared on Zhou Yi's body, and at the same time, a dagger about the length of her forearm appeared in her hand.
It was only then that Kong Xuan learned that Zhou Yi was actually a Soul Master specializing in agility-based attacks.
"Whether we can overcome it or not," Kong Xuan's voice was calm yet filled with absolute confidence. "We'll only know after we try!"
The moment Kong Xuan finished speaking, he launched an offensive.
However, he did not use his Sky-Piercing Spear immediately, but instead suddenly raised his right leg.
The action seemed abrupt, causing Zhou Yi and the audience to pause slightly in surprise.
However, the next moment, an unexpected change occurred.
Kong Xuan's right leg seemed to be instantly infused with boundless power and speed, creating dozens of dazzling afterimages.
No, that's not an afterimage!
That was real; dozens of kicks were completed in a very short time!
Even more astonishingly, at the end of each kick, a fist-sized, dazzling ball of light, condensed with highly compressed stellar power, would burst forth like an arrow.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The ear-piercing sound of air being torn apart instantly merged into one. In the short span of a breath, dozens of dazzling light bullets with brilliant star tails rained down on Zhou Yi like a storm.
These starbursts weren't just randomly attacking; Kong Xuan's design cleverly blocked almost all of Zhou Yi's surroundings.
Against agility-type Soul Masters, besides the direct control of control-type Soul Masters, the most effective method is this kind of area-of-effect attack.
In the audience, Yan Shaozhe gritted his teeth and muttered, "Starry Sky Horse!"
The students of Shrek Academy were knowledgeable, and many of them had already guessed that Kong Xuan had just used a Soul Bone Skill.
However, only a handful of people at the scene knew what kind of soul bone it was.
"That's right, it's the Starry Sky Pegasus Right Soul Bone Skill. I have to thank Shrek Academy for their generosity!"
Ma Sheng laughed heartily. Kong Xuan's soul bone was one of the two 100,000-year soul bones that Shrek Academy compensated Sun Moon Academy for.
Yan Shaozhe's expression was somewhat unpleasant. This 130,000-year-old Starry Sky Horse right leg bone was pried out of his hands; how could he not know that?
Kong Xuan used one of the two soul skills from this soul bone, called Pegasus Meteor Explosion!
Faced with this overwhelming area-of-effect attack, Zhou Yishun, as an experienced agility-based Soul Emperor, remained calm despite the shock.
Her first and third spirit rings lit up one after another. Just as the starlight bullets descended, her figure became blurry and indistinct, as if she were a ghost, darting and dodging through the rain of starlight bullets.
Just as Zhou Yi had dodged the last wave of attacks, her body was still unsteady and she needed to catch her breath.
Kong Xuan, who had been standing still the whole time, moved!
He didn't run forward, but instead his body shimmered with silver light, as if he had merged into the space.
The next moment, it vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, Kong Xuan had already traversed a distance of several dozen meters and appeared precisely in front of Zhou Yi, whose old strength had just been depleted and whose new strength had not yet been generated!
The Sky-Piercing Spear itself possesses spatial attributes, and with Kong Xuan's comprehension of the Void Spear Intent, he has now mastered the ability to teleport short distances.
The moment Kong Xuan appeared, his fifth black spirit ring suddenly lit up.
With a sweeping motion, the Sky-Piercing Spear in his hand unleashed an unimaginable sharpness!
Wherever the spear tip passed, the space seemed to be torn apart by its extreme sharpness, leaving behind fine but clearly visible dark cracks.
This sweeping shot covered a vast area, moved at incredible speed, and contained terrifying power capable of tearing through space.
Zhou Yi's expression changed drastically. She never expected that after giving up the initiative, she would be constantly suppressed.
At this moment, she had nowhere to hide and nowhere to retreat!
She bit her tongue hard, forcibly suppressing the horror in her heart, and frantically poured her soul power into her right hand.
In her right hand, a slender yet exceptionally sharp emerald light flashed, and a dagger, as if carved from jade, was held horizontally in front of her, attempting to block the terrifying spear that was tearing through space.
clang!!!!
The tip of the Sky-Piercing Spear slammed into the Spirit Rhinoceros Dagger.
The emerald light lasted only a moment before the Spirit Rhinoceros Dagger let out a mournful cry of despair and shattered like fragile glass!
Kong Xuan's fifth soul skill is called "Godslayer - Sky Rift," which is a powerful single-target attack skill with the powerful effects of tearing space and dealing true damage.
The true damage of this shot is not only reflected in the physical body, but also in the martial spirit.
That's why Zhou Yi's martial spirit shattered in an instant.
Therefore, the only way to deal with Kong Xuan's fifth soul skill is to dodge it.
Holding the Spirit Rhinoceros Dagger upside down, Zhou Yi's right forearm was severed clean off after the Sky-Piercing Spear shattered her martial spirit, and blood splattered everywhere.
Kong Xuan suddenly withdrew his strength, pulling back the spear tip that was sweeping towards Zhou Yi's chest.
Zhou Yi avoided the danger of being disemboweled, but Kong Xuan did not stop there.
After retracting the spear, he used the butt of the spear to strike Zhou Yi, who was sent flying backward as if she had been hit by a rampaging spirit beast.
She slammed hard against the wall at the edge of the ring with a heavy thud, then slid down softly!
"puff!"
Zhou Yi felt a sweet taste in her throat, and an uncontrollable mouthful of blood spurted out.
Just one strike!
Zhou Yi, a Soul Emperor, suffered a shattered Martial Soul, a severed arm, and was sent flying backward, coughing up blood!
Kong Xuan slowly lowered his gun, his gaze calmly fixed on Zhou Yi, who was struggling to get up. He spoke indifferently, "Now, do you still think you are qualified to be my teacher?"
