Chapter 41 The Battle in the Second Examination Hall
The second examination room.
Cui Yajie, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao stood at the north end of the field, opposite Huang Chutian, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo from Class 7.
The two sides have just finished their first round of probing exchanges.
Huang Chutian retreated to the center of the arena, his right fist still radiating heat from the surge of soul power.
His punch, which he had thrown as a probing blow at Cui Yajie, was blocked by Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.
The tremors on the surface of the cauldron nearly split his hand open.
"This cauldron is really hard."
Huang Chutian shook his numb wrist, turned around and whispered instructions to the Lan sisters behind him.
"Plan remains unchanged. I'll go head-to-head with that fox woman, and you two will entangle the butterfly's wings."
Lan Susu nodded gently, her long blue hair swaying slightly in the wind.
She was a little taller than Lan Luoluo, but the two had almost identical faces, both with delicate features and a touch of childishness.
"Brother Chu Tian, where's that cauldron?" Lan Luoluo asked softly, her rosy cheeks showing a hint of nervousness.
"I'll carry the cauldron."
Huang Chutian stretched his shoulders, and the soul power of the Great Ape surged across his body.
"As long as I take down their captain, that cauldron will be nothing but decoration."
Lan Susu didn't ask any more questions and took her sister's hand, walking to Huang Chutian's side.
On the other side, Cui Yajie was quickly processing the information she had obtained during the earlier probing.
Since cultivating the Purple Demon Eye, her insight has improved significantly.
Although she was still only at the most basic level of "overviewing", she could see the three opponents' positioning habits, attack rhythm, and even the subtle fluctuations in their soul power circulation much more clearly than before.
"Dong'er, Xiao Xiao," Cui Yajie said in a low voice, "When Huang Chutian was testing me just now, he would take a half step forward with his right foot before each punch. He will definitely attack me next."
Wang Dong'er's Light Goddess Butterfly wings were slightly open, and her long pinkish-blue hair was blown backward by the airflow.
"Attack you? Then I'll go stop him."
"No need," Cui Yajie shook her head.
"You can't stop him. The Hercules Ape's explosive power is too strong; you'll be at a disadvantage if you try to take it head-on. Your task is to deal with those two twins from the Lan family."
Wang Dong'er wrinkled her nose, somewhat unconvinced.
"Don't underestimate them because of their young age. Once their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Heavenly Net, is deployed, all three of us will be stuck."
Cui Yajie stared at the positions of the Lan sisters opposite her.
"They're standing very close together now, which means they could unleash a fusion technique at any moment. You must force one of them back before they merge."
"Then what will you do?" Xiao Xiao asked, clutching the hem of her clothes, her voice filled with worry.
Cui Yajie smiled.
"I have a plan. Xiao Xiao, don't worry about me with your cauldron, focus all your efforts on protecting Dong'er."
Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
Huang Chutian's reaction was exactly as Cui Yajie had predicted.
He took a half step forward with his right foot, and his first spirit ring lit up.
First Soul Skill: Mighty Vajra Fist.
His right fist was enveloped in a thick layer of golden soul power, and he charged straight toward Cui Yajie.
Huang Chutian was very fast.
Although the Hercules is not an agility-based attacker, its burst charge is quite ferocious.
At the same time, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo spread out to the left and right respectively, and their long blue hair instantly grew longer, extending from waist-length to three or four meters.
First Soul Skill: Net Release.
Their long hair stretched and wove in mid-air, forming a giant blue net that enveloped Wang Dong'er.
This is their usual opening move: first, they use a net to restrict the opponent's movements, and then seize the opportunity to unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Then some people might ask, why not use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill from the beginning?
nonsense!
Do you start a game of Dou Dizhu with a royal flush?
"Dong'er!"
Xiao Xiao screamed, and the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron instantly split into three, with the three smaller cauldrons spinning in front of her and flying towards Wang Dong'er's head.
Second Soul Skill: Control of the Cauldron.
When the three cauldrons are activated, a pale golden light appears on the surface of each cauldron, increasing both defense and power by 60%.
The three spinning Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons collided with the blue hairnet, producing a series of dull thuds.
The hairnet was bounced off halfway, but the other half still wrapped around Wang Dong'er.
Lan Luoluo's hair was extremely resilient; even after being bounced off by the cauldron, it was still able to change direction and pursue her.
"So annoying!"
Wang Dong'er spread her wings as she retreated.
First Soul Skill: Winged Guillotine.
The edges of the forewings of the Goddess of Light Butterfly shone with a golden light, exceptionally sharp.
She flapped her wings, and the golden blades of light severed the three strands of hair that had wrapped around her.
The broken blue hair lay on the ground, still wriggling slightly.
Lan Susu let out a muffled groan of pain.
Those hairs were connected to her spirit, and the feeling of them being severed made her face turn pale.
"Sister!" Lan Luoluo called out nervously.
Lan Susu bit her lip and shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
But Wang Dong'er didn't give them a chance to catch their breath.
The moment the wing-shaped guillotine cut through the hairnet, Wang Dong'er used the gliding ability of her butterfly wings to pounce straight towards Lan Luoluo.
Lan Luoluo is the younger sister, and she looks even more nervous. Cui Yajie specifically instructed her before the match that she should fight the weaker opponent.
Lan Luoluo hurriedly pulled back her long hair to defend herself, and activated her second soul skill "Hair Spike". Her soft blue hair instantly turned as hard as iron needles and stabbed towards Wang Dong'er.
Xiao Xiao's Soul-Suppressing Cauldron flew to Wang Dong'er in time, blocking most of the spikes.
A few stray hairs stuck to the surface of the cauldron, making a tinkling sound.
"Thanks, Xiao Xiao!" Wang Dong'er circled around the side of the cauldron, her golden wings slashing towards Lan Luoluo with a sharp whooshing sound.
Lan Luoluo's face turned pale, and she desperately backed away.
Although her martial spirit is versatile, her close-combat ability is practically zero.
Once a powerful attack-type Soul Master gets close to you, you basically have no chance to fight back.
Lan Susu wanted to step forward to help, but was blocked by Xiao Xiao's remaining two Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons.
The two cauldrons kept spinning and moving in front of her, making it impossible for her to get close to her sister.
On the high platform.
Cai Meier raised an eyebrow slightly: "That little girl used the cauldron quite cleverly, dividing it into three parts, one to protect people and two to block them."
Du Weilun nodded:
"After the second soul skill was added, the defense of these three cauldrons was no longer something that the Lan sisters' hair net could easily penetrate."
Yan Shaozhe didn't comment on Xiao Xiao; he was looking at someone else.
Cui Yajie.
In the center of the arena, Huang Chutian's Mighty Vajra Fist had already struck in front of Cui Yajie.
Cui Yajie did not dodge.
Her first spirit ring lit up.
The first soul skill is charm.
When Huang Chutian was two steps away from Cui Yajie, his body suddenly stiffened.
His fist froze in mid-air, and he was completely still, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
The nine-tailed fox's allure effect is released at close range, directly impacting the mental level.
Although Huang Chutian's soul power was higher than Cui Yajie's, his mental power was far inferior to hers.
This freeze lasted for less than a second.
But one second is enough.
Cui Yajie sidestepped Huang Chutian's stiff fist and slid past him.
She wasn't particularly fast, but she was agile and her positioning was precise.
Huang Chutian came to his senses and felt a wave of fear wash over him.
For a brief moment, his mind went completely blank. The feeling was so strange, like he had suddenly forgotten what he was doing.
Damn it!
He turned to give chase, but Cui Yajie had already created some distance between them.
Cui Yajie did not intend to confront Huang Chutian head-on.
Her strategy was clear from the start: stall.
Although the Nine-Tailed Fox's charm has a short duration against opponents with high soul power, its advantage lies in its fast cooldown.
As long as she maintains distance and casts a charm spell every ten seconds or so, Huang Chutian will never be able to reach her.
Huang Chutian realized this as well, and his expression turned very ugly.
"Lan Susu! Lan Luoluo! Stop dawdling, use the fusion technique!"
Lan Susu was being forced to retreat by Xiao Xiao's two Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons when she heard Huang Chutian's shout and gritted her teeth.
"Lolo!"
"Um!"
Lan Luoluo desperately shook off Wang Dong'er's pursuit and ran towards her sister's direction.
Wang Dong'er took two steps and suddenly heard Cui Yajie's voice.
"Dong'er, stop chasing! Step back and stand next to Xiao Xiao!"
Wang Dong'er was startled and subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
The moment the Lan sisters reunited, they simultaneously unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
"A net stretching to the heavens and the earth!"
The two women's long blue hair stretched and wove wildly in the air, forming a hair net that covered a huge area.
The entire net, glowing with a pale blue light, descended from mid-air, covering almost half the area.
Xiao Xiao's three Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons were quickly retrieved and merged into one giant cauldron above Wang Dong'er and her head.
The three tripods unite as one, and the Emperor reigns supreme!
Defense and strength increased by 90%.
The net of heaven and earth pressed down on the cauldron, and the immense force made Xiao Xiao's legs tremble slightly, but the golden light on the cauldron's surface remained completely still.
The quality of the 990-year-old Thousand-Pound Ant's soul ring was fully displayed at this moment.
Although the Lan sisters' Martial Soul Fusion Skill has a wide control range, it cannot penetrate this cauldron in terms of absolute suppression.
"What a hard cauldron…" Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lan Susu's forehead.
The Heavenly Net was continuously draining her and her sister's soul power, but the cauldron opposite them remained motionless, as if nailed to the ground.
Lan Luoluo's face turned bright red; her soul power output was nearing its limit.
"Sis, I can't hold on much longer..."
Huang Chutian was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet on the outside.
He wanted to rush over to help, but Cui Yajie kept circling around him, and every time he tried to get closer to Xiao Xiao, she would throw a seductive gesture at him.
He dared not gamble.
The feeling of being charmed and frozen last time was disgusting. If I get frozen during the charge, I'm completely finished.
On the high platform, Elder Xuan put down the chicken leg in his hand.
"This little nine-tailed fox girl fights dirty."
Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but chuckle: "She's clever. She didn't engage Huang Chutian in a single direct confrontation from beginning to end, but Huang Chutian was completely restrained by her and couldn't support his teammates at all."
Cai Meier rested her chin on her hand:
"The key is that little girl named Xiao Xiao; her cauldron is outrageous. A second spirit ring with a lifespan of 990 years? Who got her that?"
Du Weilun replied in a muffled voice, "Who else could it be?"
