Chapter 110: "I'll Miss You in the Semi-Finals"
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
The quarter-finals arrived as scheduled.
With an hour left before the match began, Star Luo Square was already a sea of people. The members of the eight teams arrived one after another, entering their respective rest areas.
The morning sunlight spilled down, coating the vast square in a layer of faint golden light and illuminating faces that were nervous, expectant, or burning with battle intent.
Inside the Shrek Academy rest area, everyone's eyes were fixed on the busy referees on the Soul Fighting Platform.
The drawing of lots was about to begin.
"Star Luo Imperial Academy, Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, Heaven Dou Empire's Heavenly Soul Academy, Dou Ling Empire..."
Xu Sanshi counted on his fingers. "Of the remaining seven teams, not a single one is an easy fight."
Bei Bei glanced at him. "Nonsense. It's the quarter-finals; who's going to be a pushover?"
"That's true, but there's always someone relatively easier to fight, right?" Xu Sanshi chuckled. "For example, that..."
"Shut up." Jiang Nannan interrupted him expressionlessly. "As soon as you open your mouth, you're prone to raising death flags."
Xu Sanshi: "??? What do you mean by flag?"
"It means whoever you say is easy to fight will be the one to grind us into the dirt," He Caitou added gloomily.
The group burst into laughter, and the atmosphere lightened slightly.
Wang Yan pushed up his glasses, his gaze landing on the Soul Fighting Platform. His tone was steady.
"No matter who we draw, just play your best. We only have one goal—"
"The championship," Ma Xiaotao finished for him, flames seemingly dancing in her pink eyes.
"Exactly."
As they spoke, the referees on the Soul Fighting Platform had already prepared the drawing apparatus.
A large transparent sphere was pushed forward, containing eight identical small balls. Each ball held a slip of paper with the name of a corresponding team.
Hundreds of thousands of gazes from the entire venue focused on that sphere in unison.
A Star Luo official dressed in ornate robes stepped forward, reached into the sphere, and slowly stirred the balls.
The scene was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Then, he pulled out the first ball, opened it, took out the slip, and unfolded it, followed by the second ball.
"The first match of the quarter-finals..."
The referee took the two slips and held them high above his head. His voice, infused with Soul Power, spread throughout the venue.
"Heavenly Soul Academy versus Dou Ling Academy!"
Cheers erupted from the audience. Even though it wasn't their own academy, witnessing such a top-tier duel was enough to get anyone excited.
The drawing continued.
The second match, the third match...
When the opponents for the third match were announced, the atmosphere of the entire Star Luo Square suddenly shifted, because only two teams remained.
In accordance with the principle of transparency, the last two balls were still taken out and opened.
"The fourth match of the quarter-finals..."
The referee looked at the two slips of paper he already knew the contents of, paused, scanned the audience, and said word for word:
"Shrek Academy versus Star Luo Imperial Academy!"
The moment the words fell, the entire venue fell silent. Although it was already known that Shrek Academy would face Star Luo Imperial Academy, when the result was officially announced, the audience couldn't help but be jolted. A wave of sound like a mountain range collapsing or a tsunami rising surged into the sky!
"Holy crap!!!"
"Shrek versus Star Luo Imperial?!"
"What kind of script is this?!"
The audience was in a complete frenzy.
Unlike the one-sided support of the past, the cheers now were clearly mixed with two completely different emotions.
Star Luo Square was, after all, the home ground of the Star Luo Empire. Of the hundreds of thousands of spectators, eight or nine out of ten were Star Luo locals.
On one side was the ten-thousand-year undefeated Shrek legend; on the other was their own Star Luo Imperial Academy.
Who should they support?
This question was too difficult.
"Shrek! Shrek!"
"Star Luo Imperial! Crush Shrek!"
The two cries intertwined, neither yielding to the other, instantly pushing the atmosphere of the arena to a climax.
Inside the Shrek rest area, everyone looked at each other.
"Well," Xu Sanshi spread his hands, "this is great. We've become public enemy number one."
Bei Bei rolled his eyes at him. "Stop talking nonsense. We've drawn them, so let's just fight."
Dai Yueheng's expression was somewhat complicated. After all, Star Luo Imperial Academy was, in a sense, his 'alma mater'.
But he quickly adjusted, his gaze turning firm. "Since it's a competition, we'll give it our all."
Wang Yan nodded and looked at everyone.
Due to the incident with Xuan Zi, the tournament committee had discussed and deliberately arranged Shrek's match as the last one.
Firstly, it was to accommodate their emotional state, and secondly, it was to let the other teams warm up the venue first.
The first three matches were all incredibly intense.
Heavenly Soul Academy and Dou Ling Academy battled for nearly half an hour, with Heavenly Soul Academy eventually advancing by a slim margin.
The Sun Moon Team was even more direct, taking less than ten minutes to defeat their opponent in an absolute landslide.
Finally, it was Shrek's turn.
Wang Yan stood up, his gaze sweeping over the seven people before him.
"We'll follow what we just discussed."
"For the team battle: Lin Xuan, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Bei Bei, Ning Tian, and Wang Dong. The seven of you will take the stage."
The seven stood up together. Wang Yan looked at them; in his eyes, which usually held a scholarly air, there was now only determination.
"Shrek—"
"Will win!"
Seven voices rang out simultaneously, decisive and imposing.
That wasn't just a slogan; it was a raging fire. The frustration from Elder Xuan's heavy injury and the emotions accumulated over the past few days would be completely released in this battle!
The group left the rest area and headed for the waiting area.
Just as they rounded a corner, they ran into two people.
A white-haired youth with a deep blue left eye and a jade-green right eye, his features so handsome he didn't seem mortal, and a white-haired girl with a face as exquisite as a porcelain doll and clear, ice-blue eyes.
Xiao Hongchen.
Meng Hongchen.
The siblings had clearly been waiting there specifically. Now that they had met face-to-face, both sides stopped.
Seeing Lin Xuan walking at the front of the team, Meng Hongchen's eyes instantly lit up.
"Hi~ Lin Xuan!"
She waved enthusiastically, her voice as crisp as wind chimes, a brilliant smile blooming on her face.
That smile was too bright—so bright that three gazes landed on her simultaneously.
Ning Tian narrowed her eyes slightly, her steps moving half an inch closer to Lin Xuan's side without a word.
Ling Luochen remained as cold as frost, but a clear hint of dislike appeared in her eyes.
Ma Xiaotao sized Meng Hongchen up, a half-smile playing on her lips before she crossed her arms, making her ample chest appear even more rounded.
Facing these three gazes, Meng Hongchen didn't back down; instead, she puffed out her chest and glared back fearlessly.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beautiful girl before?"
Ning Tian: "..."
Ling Luochen: "..."
Ma Xiaotao: "Heh."
Faint sparks seemed to fly in the air.
Xiao Hongchen seemed completely oblivious to this silent confrontation. He just looked at Lin Xuan and smiled slightly.
"Lin Xuan, Star Luo Imperial Academy is very strong. Given your current strength, you don't have a certain guarantee of winning."
Lin Xuan looked at him without speaking.
Xiao Hongchen didn't mind and continued,
"Of course, I'm not saying this because I like your Shrek Academy."
He paused, a sharp glint flashing in his heterochromatic eyes.
"It's simply because I don't want you to be eliminated before I even get to face you."
He chuckled, his tone relaxed.
"As for our opponents, they've already forfeited the upcoming individual matches, so..."
He reached out, pointing at Lin Xuan and then at himself.
"I hope your luck is good."
"I'll miss you in the semi-finals."
Lin Xuan's expression faltered slightly.
These words... why did they sound so strange?
Ning Tian's expression beside him was even more subtle. She looked at Xiao Hongchen, then at Lin Xuan, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Ma Xiaotao's mouth twitched. She wanted to say something but ultimately just silently looked away.
Ling Luochen remained expressionless, but her eyes, which had turned somewhat odd, already spoke volumes about her thoughts.
Xiao Hongchen was completely unaware of any problem with his words. Instead, he was quite satisfied with his domineering declaration of war, turning to lead his sister away with large strides.
After walking a few steps, Meng Hongchen turned back and waved at Lin Xuan again.
"Good luck~"
Ning Tian's face darkened further.
Lin Xuan watched the siblings' departing backs, silent for a moment, then suddenly shook his head gently.
"Let's go."
The seven turned and stepped into the waiting area.
Ahead, the roar of Star Luo Square surged toward them like a tide.
A moment later, the referee in charge of the arena descended onto the Soul Fighting Platform. Unlike before, the referee for this match was an old acquaintance.
—The Heavenly Fiend Douluo, Huang Jinxu!
"Shrek Academy, Star Luo Imperial Academy, members participating in the team battle, take the stage."
"Let's go."
At Lin Xuan's command, the group stepped onto the Soul Fighting Platform together. The seven from Star Luo Imperial Academy on the other side had also all ascended.
"The captain of Star Luo Imperial Academy is actually Princess Xu Jiujiu?" Bei Bei instantly recognized the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in the center of the opposing team.
Today, Princess Xu Jiujiu wore a well-tailored, bright yellow combat outfit. She no longer looked as noble and elegant as usual, but instead appeared heroic and spirited. Her long golden hair was tied neatly into a ponytail, and an elegant smile graced her exquisite face.
Seeing Bei Bei and the others looking at her, Jiujiu showed no signs of nervousness. Instead, she looked over everyone with interest, pausing significantly on Lin Xuan with a highly provocative intent.
Lin Xuan: "..."
Having spent so much time with Jiujiu in his identity as Fallen Heaven Douluo, it felt quite novel to be provoked by her like this.
Huang Jinxu, with a cold face, confirmed that both sides were ready and then directly took to the air, his voice descending from above.
"Match start!"
Both sides were the elite of the elite among young Soul Masters. Almost the instant the voice rang out, everyone released their respective Martial Souls.
A brilliant golden light suddenly lit up on Princess Xu Jiujiu's fair forehead—a diamond-shaped golden gemstone.
When this diamond-shaped golden gemstone appeared, it immediately burst with dazzling golden light, then detached from her forehead, slowly floating upward surrounded by golden radiance.
When it landed on her head again, it had transformed into a magnificent crown.
When it landed on her head again, it had transformed into a magnificent crown.
On this crown, starting from that diamond gemstone, it quickly tapered backward. The crown was composed of a total of eighteen large stars protruding upward, forming a beautiful circle of points.
This was the powerful Martial Soul inherited by the Star Luo Empire's imperial family: the Star Crown.
Two yellow, two purple, one black—five Soul Rings of the best ratio surfaced one after another from beneath her feet.
"Everyone be careful! This is the Star Luo Imperial Xu family's ancestral Martial Soul! The Star Crown! Ten thousand years ago, it was a top-tier Weapon Spirit on par with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Clear Sky Hammer! Its power is extremely formidable!"
Dai Yueheng shouted a warning. Not daring to delay for a second, he charged toward the opposite side immediately after his Martial Soul Possession.
As a descendant of Duke White Tiger, he knew all too well just how difficult the Star Crown Martial Soul was to deal with!
Princess Xu Jiujiu was unhurried. The golden light surging on the Star Crown atop her head became even denser. Her third Soul Ring lit up, and a pillar of brilliant golden light instantly shot into the sky.
Star Crown Martial Soul's third Soul skills: Star Brilliance Technique.
The interior of this golden light pillar appeared as a golden mist, with specks of starlight swirling and rising within it, looking extremely singular.
With the competition having progressed to this point, everyone knew that Lin Xuan could control others' shadows to fight. To avoid being controlled, one either had to fly or be stronger than Lin Xuan.
Jiujiu, however, didn't need that. Her Star Brilliance Technique could directly counter Lin Xuan's Martial Soul abilities.
Knowing this, Lin Xuan hadn't made a move yet, and he hadn't even let Xu Sanshi, whose fourth Soul skills would be countered, take the stage.
"Ling Luochen, control from the rear. Bei Bei, Lin Xuan, you charge with me! Wang Dong, watch over Ning Tian!"
As Ma Xiaotao spoke, her scorching Phoenix Flame and violent Soul Power pressure instantly swept forth, crashing toward the Star Luo Imperial Academy side like a crimson meteor.
Now that she was facing the powerful Star Luo Imperial Academy, she no longer needed to hold back!
Ning Tian held the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and three major buffs flew out, landing on the other six members one by one.
Once the buffs were in place, Ling Luochen summoned her Ice Staff. Then, her fourth ice-element Soul Ring lit up. Faint blue ice mist sprayed from the tip of the staff, spreading to both sides at an alarming speed to form a giant arc that faintly pinched toward the opponents.
Not just them, Bei Bei also released his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, which immediately evolved into the Light Holy Dragon. His entire body's lightning turned golden, carrying a majestic and fierce aura as he followed closely behind Ma Xiaotao.
Princess Xu Jiujiu's gaze hardened. The brilliant golden pillar of light formed by her third Soul skills rapidly transformed into a golden mist that spread out, accurately landing on the other six team members.
Immediately after, the six boosted members surged forward in groups of two or three, seeking out the opponents they had been assigned beforehand.
The Nether Lion Soul King lunged at Ma Xiaotao, the Dark Demon Tiger Soul King intercepted Dai Yueheng, and Bei Bei was entangled by the Lightning Falcon Soul King. Thanks to the boost from the Star Brilliance Technique Technique, even though there was a gap in strength between the two sides, the situation remained deadlocked for the time being.
At this point, it was time for Lin Xuan to step forward and break the deadlock.
"So, she really intends to use an absolute defense spirit tool..." Lin Xuan thought to himself, looking at Princess Xu Jiujiu, who still wore a faint smile on her face.
As long as things went according to Princess Xu Jiujiu's plan, with him trapped and under the support of the Star Crown Martial Soul, unless someone had a sudden burst of power, Shrek could basically declare defeat in the team battle.
But unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, all schemes appeared incredibly pale.
However, even though he had long known about Princess Xu Jiujiu's trump card, Lin Xuan still decided to play along with her performance.
Golden lightning suddenly exploded from his body! He unleashed the full power of the lightning attribute of his Shikigami: Nue. Brilliant golden lightning snakes frantically slithered and coiled around him, illuminating him as if a God of Thunder had descended upon the world!
He took out that copper rod, exerted force with his feet, flashed, and charged directly towards Princess Xu Jiujiu!
"Stop him!"
Naturally, the Star Luo side had people ready to act. An agility-attack system Soul King with a Giant Winged Vulture Martial Soul and a wind-attribute Soul King rose into the air simultaneously, flanking Lin Xuan from both the left and the right.
But they dared not face him head-on.
The Giant Winged Vulture relied on its aerial advantage to constantly circle and harass him, while the wind-attribute Soul King used its speed to maneuver around Lin Xuan, occasionally firing a wind blade before immediately retreating.
As for the last fire-attribute Soul King, he stood firmly in front of Princess Xu Jiujiu, waiting in battle readiness.
Lin Xuan sparred with them for three rounds, and then his heart stirred.
"It's coming."
Sure enough, the next moment, Princess Xu Jiujiu waved her jade hand, and a golden light barrier descended from thin air!
The barrier came too quickly, carrying a locking effect, and instantly enveloped Lin Xuan!
Lin Xuan swung his rod horizontally against the inner wall of the barrier.
"Thud!"
The barrier only rippled faintly and did not budge.
Inside the barrier, light radiated in all directions.
There were one hundred and eight golden beads rotating at high speed, with one at the top the size of a fist, flickering with an incredibly brilliant light, firmly suppressing Lin Xuan within.
"An absolute defense spirit tool!?"
"What is that?" Wang Yan's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked.
He Caitou gave a bitter smile. "An absolute defense spirit tool, also known as an absolute defense Martial Soul barrier, is a one-time consumable, sealing-type, rechargeable level-7 spirit tool worth millions of gold coins."
"Once used, within a quarter of an hour, the person sealed by the absolute defense barrier will face Soul Douluo-level defense. The barrier's defense is the same both inside and out. To destroy the core bead at the top of the main body, one needs at least the strength of a level-7 Soul Saint to have a chance."
He paused, his tone becoming even more bitter. "Currently, only the Sun Moon Empire can manufacture this type of spirit tool. The core array is strictly sealed. The three original nations of the Douluo Continent don't even have the possibility of making one. I didn't expect... that it would appear in the tournament."
"A quarter of an hour..."
Wang Yan clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white.
A quarter of an hour might be very short elsewhere, but in this ever-changing semifinal, the match would likely be over after a quarter of an hour.
But what could be done now?
The rules were written clearly: such spirit tools could be used. If you didn't use them, you couldn't stop others from doing so, right?
Furthermore, anyone could say that, but Shrek alone could not.
Other small academies might say that because they couldn't afford it, but could Shrek really not afford it?
Seeing Lin Xuan trapped, Princess Xu Jiujiu's lips curled upward, revealing a smile of certain victory.
Without the slightest pause, her remaining four Soul Rings lit up one after another!
For a moment, starlight flickered across the arena, and golden light surged over the entire field like a tide! The power of the Star Crown Martial Soul was revealed without a doubt at this moment, drawing gasps of amazement from the audience!
Especially her fourth Soul skills, Star Guardian. That layer of pale golden light fell upon the Shrek team, and it actually began to isolate their attributes!
At this moment, the cheers from the Star Luo Imperial Academy grew louder and louder.
On the competition platform, Shrek Academy, fighting six against seven, instantly fell into a disadvantage.
Compared to the pure reinforcement of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Star Crown possessed an additional ability of weakening and control. Under the golden starlight, the boost from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was significantly reduced!
The fire-control Soul King who had been freed joined the battlefield. Through his fire-element Martial Soul, he actually began to drain Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Flame!
Coupled with the assistance of the Star Brilliance Technique Technique, the Nether Lion Soul King actually fought to a draw against Ma Xiaotao, whose Soul Power was far superior to its own!
Not far away, tiger roars shook the heaven and earth. Two fierce tigers, one black and one white, fought each other. The Dark Demon Tiger Soul King and Dai Yueheng's White Tiger were locked in an inseparable battle.
And Bei Bei, after all, was one Soul Ring short. Although he had completely triggered the bloodline of the Light Holy Dragon, he could only barely maintain the situation, doing his best just to avoid being defeated.
The wind-control Soul King cooperated with the Giant Winged Vulture Soul King to whip up a violent wind, gradually suppressing Ling Luochen's ice mist.
As for Wang Dong, he dared not leave Ning Tian's side for even a step.
Moreover, even if he joined the battle, with his strength, what difference could he make?
At this moment, an unprecedented sense of defeat swept through his entire body.
By now, he saw everything clearly.
In this tournament, everyone had a moment to shine.
Only he had nothing.
What Twin Martial Souls, what Clear Sky Hammer, what Light Goddess Butterfly...
In front of true powerhouses, they were all as pale as a sheet of paper.
He could only stand here, watching his teammates fight bloodily, while he himself could do nothing.
But... for Shrek Academy to win, he couldn't help but look at that quiet absolute defense barrier.
For the first time in his heart, Wang Dong hoped, hoped that that person could be a little stronger, hoped that he could break through this damn cage a little faster.
Even if... even if it meant admitting that he was inferior to him, that would be fine too.
Just at this moment.
"Thud!"
A dull, vibrating sound suddenly emanated from within the golden light barrier!
"What is that sound?!" Everyone in the arena couldn't help but be startled.
The next moment, everyone instantly locked their gaze on the absolute defense barrier that was trapping Lin Xuan.
"It's Lin Xuan! He is striking the absolute defense barrier from inside!" Wang Dong's eyes lit up, and he said in an excited tone.
"Heh, how is that possible? This is an absolute defense barrier. Without the strength of a Soul Douluo, it is impossible to break it by force."
Princess Xu Jiujiu sneered, but the sound of impact that rang out again still made her feel a little worried.
From the start of the tournament until now, Lin Xuan had given them too many shocks.
His trump cards were endless, as if they were inexhaustible.
"Thud!" The second sound.
"Thud!" The third sound.
The sound of impact was like a beating drum, striking everyone's heart with each beat.
The sound of impact... wait!
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Ning Tian's mind. She thought of a possibility, and the more she thought about it, the more convinced she became. Her heart was filled with excitement, and she immediately cried out,
"Everyone, attack with full force! Hold on a little longer! Lin Xuan will definitely break this barrier!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ma Xiaotao and the others frowned slightly.
They were already at a disadvantage, and every bit of Soul Power had to be calculated carefully; how could they have the spare energy to attack with full force?
But out of trust in Lin Xuan, they still gritted their teeth.
Flames surged around Ma Xiaotao, and she spared no effort to mobilize the power of her evil fire, forcing the Nether Lion Soul King back several steps! Dai Yueheng swung his tiger claws, golden light sweeping out, shaking the Dark Demon Tiger Soul King back repeatedly!
Bei Bei's Light Holy Dragon bloodline burned completely, golden lightning surged all over his body, and he actually turned the tables to suppress the Lightning Falcon Soul King! Ling Luochen tapped her Ice Staff repeatedly; although the ice mist was suppressed, it never dissipated!
They were gambling. Gambling that Lin Xuan could create a miracle.
Seeing this scene, Princess Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Looking at the other side, it didn't seem like they were bluffing.
Could it be... what they said was true? Could Lin Xuan really break the absolute defense barrier?!
No! There must absolutely be no accidents!
Princess Xu Jiujiu gritted her teeth and immediately commanded the fire-attribute Soul King to briefly restrain Dai Yueheng, and then had the Dark Demon Tiger Soul King free himself to deal with Lin Xuan!
If Lin Xuan could really break free, he had to intervene immediately to stop him.
"Understood!" The two immediately accepted the order.
The Dark Demon Tiger Soul King took a blow from Dai Yueheng, used the force to break away, moved like lightning, and headed straight for the golden light barrier!
He passed through the chaotic battle area, bypassed Ling Luochen's ice mist, dodged the aftermath of Ma Xiaotao's flames, and finally arrived in front of the absolute defense barrier.
He panted heavily, looking at the golden cage in front of him, and then at the figure inside who was punching the inner wall one punch at a time.
The thudding sound of impact was incessant.
He clenched his tiger claws, preparing to deliver a fatal blow as soon as Lin Xuan came out, but just at this moment, the incessant vibrating sound suddenly stopped.
"Hmm?"
The Dark Demon Tiger Soul King was stunned. Not just him, but everyone in the arena was stunned.
Why did that impact sound stop? Was it... exhaustion? Or...
At the same time, inside the absolute defense barrier.
Lin Xuan retracted his right hand. He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and with extremely slow movements, lowered his center of gravity, swung his arm, and clenched his fist.
On his body, golden lightning surged frantically, stimulating his muscles. Massive Soul Power intertwined and coiled around his entire body, condensing into an unprecedented power at his fist.
A flash of light shone in his eyes!
At the same time, a strange black pattern suddenly appeared at his fist! The pattern was ancient and mysterious, its lines twisted; it was exactly the cursed markings on the head of Shikigami: Piercing Ox!
The next moment, Lin Xuan stepped out violently! Then, he threw a punch!
"Boom—!!!"
Black lightning suddenly exploded! It was Black Flash!!!
Black lightning erupted from Lin Xuan's fist and slammed heavily against the inner wall of the golden light barrier!
"Crack—" A crisp shattering sound.
That absolute defense barrier, which was claimed to be unshakable by anyone below a Soul Douluo, that level-7 spirit tool worth millions of gold coins, shattered at the sound!
The golden light barrier turned into fragments filling the sky, drifting away like golden petals.
The moment he saw the black lightning, the Dark Demon Tiger Soul King had realized something was wrong. He wanted to fly back, but it was too late!
The arm wrapped in black lightning reached out from the golden fragments and struck him square in the chest!
The Dark Demon Tiger Soul King could not dodge at all and could only cross his hands in front of his chest, taking the punch head-on.
Before the intense pain arrived, he had already thought that he would not be able to withstand this blow, after all, even the absolute defense barrier had been shattered by this punch.
But when Lin Xuan's fist hit his arm, he realized he was wrong. If Lin Xuan hadn't pulled his punch, he would have definitely died!
From his arm bones, to his sternum, and then to his ribs, all made shattering sounds. His violently beating heart suddenly stopped, and a large, blood-red character for "Death" flickered before his eyes.
Just when the Dark Demon Tiger Soul King thought he was going to be killed by Lin Xuan's punch, his vision suddenly blurred for a moment. When he focused, he saw that he was lying outside the Soul Fighting Platform, and not far away, several healing-type Soul Masters were running over quickly.
...In the arena, Lin Xuan retracted his fist and stepped out from the sky full of golden light.
The whole arena was deathly silent.
Princess Xu Jiujiu stood frozen on the spot. She looked at the figure that had broken out of the barrier, looked at the shattered absolute defense barrier, and her mind went blank.
How is it possible... that was an absolute defense barrier...
In the Shrek rest area, He Caitou stood up abruptly, eyes wide, and muttered, "Broken... it's broken? A level-7 spirit tool, was... exploded by a single punch?"
Wang Yan clenched his fists tightly, his eye sockets turning red, and he was too excited to speak.
Xu Sanshi jumped up directly, waving his fists frantically, "Holy crap! Holy crap! Lin Xuan is awesome!!!"
Jiang Nannan covered her mouth, tears shimmering in the corners of her eyes.
And at the edge of the waiting area, Ning Tian looked at the figure bathed in golden light, her lips curling up slowly, revealing a proud smile. She knew it; she knew he could do it.
Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze and no longer looked at the Dark Demon Tiger Soul King, who was being carried away for treatment. He raised his head, looked at the pale-faced Princess Xu Jiujiu in the distance, his lips curled up slightly, and he said in a calm tone, "I have taken your trump card. Now... it's my turn."
