Chapter 97 Liu Yuanlong and Aotian unleash their combined power! The twin stars of the Body Sect!
As the referee's loud and powerful gesture came down suddenly, the air in the entire Xingluo Square seemed to explode in an instant.
The two groups of students, who had been standing still, activated their martial spirits almost simultaneously.
On the left side of the arena, the Star Luo team instantly deployed their formation.
The vice-captain, Huang Heyun, standing at the forefront, let out a deafening tiger roar. Thick black mist rose from beneath his feet, his body swelled in an instant, deep black tiger stripes appeared on his skin, and his eyes turned blood red.
That is the top-tier offensive martial soul—the Dark Demon Tiger.
Without any probing, the third spirit ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up, emitting a heart-palpitating roar.
"The Demonic Tiger Shocks the Heavens!"
Huang Heyun was like a black meteor, charging straight toward the center of the Heavenly Soul Team's formation with violent air currents and a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air.
He planned to use his Soul King-level impact to tear through the opponent's uneven defenses in one fell swoop.
Behind her, Xu Jiujiu stood with a calm expression, a pale golden light gathering above her head.
A magnificent and dazzling Star Crown Martial Soul appeared out of thin air, with the first and third Soul Rings under its feet flashing alternately.
A ring of pale golden light rapidly spread, precisely enveloping each member of the Star Luo team.
With the powerful amplification from the Star Crown, the overall aura of the Star Luo team rose to another level, and their already formidable soul power fluctuations became even more condensed.
Despite this overwhelming offensive, Liu Yuan continued to command the Heavenly Soul Team.
Liu Yuan was well aware that, in terms of overall soul power, apart from himself and Long Aotian, his side was indeed significantly inferior to the opponent.
If everyone rushes in now and engages in a chaotic battle, Vina and the other lower-level members will soon be completely overwhelmed by the enemy's five Soul Master-level combatants.
"Maintain formation and fight a drawn-out battle. Don't let the distance between you get too wide."
Liu Yuan gave the order in a low voice.
Under his mental guidance, Vina and the others did not rush to unleash powerful soul skills, but instead maintained a distance where they could support each other.
Although this approach may seem somewhat conservative, it greatly increases the team's margin for error.
As long as the formation remains intact, it will be difficult for the opponent to expand their advantage through a single breakthrough.
As Huang Heyun's ferocious demonic tiger form drew near, Liu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
The current Huanghe Yun definitely needs someone with the hard power to confront him head-on.
"Senior brother!"
Liu Yuan let out a simple shout.
Standing to the side, Long Aotian understood immediately. His body, which was as strong as steel, suddenly trembled, and dark golden light emanated from every pore.
Without any fancy moves, facing the roaring dark tiger, Long Aotian stepped forward, his right fist clenched, the muscles on his arm bulging like a coiled dragon.
"Good timing!"
Long Aotian roared and charged forward, colliding fiercely with Huang Heyun.
"boom--!"
A dull thud echoed through the ring.
Huang Heyun, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly changed his expression at the moment of the collision.
He felt as if he had not bumped into a person, but rather into a mountain made of cast iron.
Although both are Soul Kings, Long Aotian is a genius who has already completed the second awakening of his original martial soul.
His physical strength, honed by the Body Sect's secret techniques, has long surpassed that of ordinary Soul Masters.
In the instant of their hand-to-hand combat, Long Aotian displayed an almost tyrannical suppressive force.
His fists moved like shadows, each strike accompanied by a heavy whistling sound, slamming heavily onto Huang Heyun's tiger claws and shoulders.
With each punch Huang Heyun received, the stone slab beneath his feet would crack a little more. Faced with that storm of punches, he was forced to retreat step by step and could only switch to defense, struggling to hold on.
Standing at the back for a long time, looking at Huang Heyun who was being suppressed and had no power to fight back, Xu Jiujiu was suddenly shocked.
She originally thought that with the Soul King level and Star Crown amplification, Huang Heyun could at least severely injure one of the opponent's members in an instant, but she did not expect that the top disciple of the Body Sect would be so powerful.
"We can't just sit here idly!" Xu Jiujiu made a quick decision and gave the order to the other five Soul Masters.
"Bypass Long Aotian! Take care of the weaker members of the Heavenly Soul Team first! Once their formation is broken, the remaining two won't be able to cause any trouble!"
The other five members of the Star Luo team immediately obeyed the order. They moved like five sharp arrows, bypassing Long Aotian and Huang Heyun who were engaged in fierce fighting, and rushed straight to the rear where Vina and the others were.
In their eyes, those few support and control-type Soul Masters with only Soul Venerable cultivation were simply lambs to the slaughter.
However, just as the five were about to break into the rear formation, Liu Yuan, who had been standing still, made his move.
His double pupils opened completely at that moment, flashing with an extremely dazzling red light.
He used his first spirit ring directly.
"laser."
Liu Yuan uttered two words softly.
Two thin, yet extremely refined, red beams of light shot out from his pupils in an instant.
The speed was so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to detect, leaving only two faint, distorted traces in the air.
The powerful attack-type Soul Master at the forefront didn't have time to react at all, only feeling an extremely sharp burning pain in his thigh.
"puff--!"
A jet of blood shot out instantly.
The ray pierced precisely through his thigh muscle tissue, avoiding the major artery, but directly severing the main force-conducting ligaments.
"ah--!"
The Soul Master let out a scream, his charging figure came to an abrupt halt, and due to losing his balance, he fell to the ground in a sorry state, rolling around while clutching his thigh.
Liu Yuan did not kill the opponent, nor did he destroy the opponent's foundation, but this penetrating wound was enough to make the member lose all mobility, and he would have to stay in bed for at least one or two months before he could get out of bed and walk again.
Liu Yuan turned his head, his double pupils looking at the other four bewildered Star Luo members. His tone remained calm, yet carried an undeniable air of dominance:
"Don't ignore me. If you want to lay a hand on my team, you'll have to get past me first."
The members of the Star Luo team immediately became serious.
Although they were not prepared, Liu Yuan instantly killed one of their members in just one encounter, which is enough to demonstrate Liu Yuan's strength.
Their gazes toward Liu Yuan turned serious.
Clearly, they had realized that although the young man in front of them did not have a higher soul power level than Long Aotian, his combat ability was by no means inferior.
This made the atmosphere in the room even more tense.
