"Forget it, I'm going all in! Even if I fail, the Academy has so many Healing System Soul Masters that it's impossible for them not to be able to fix me up!"
Li Kai thought to himself as he watched the dozen or so silver ring blades flying toward him. He let out a sudden, thunderous roar, as if to bolster his own courage.
"Boar's Violent Charge!"
As he unleashed his first soul skill, Li Kai crouched low and led with his massive horn.
His martial soul body erupted with an intense black radiance. Under the full mobilization of his soul power, his physique even swelled in size by several degrees. He charged headlong into the cutting edges of the dozen Giant Ring Blades.
"Second soul skill: Light of Support."
Seeing that Li Kai had finally summoned his courage to face the pain and charge into Sun Chuantao's third soul skill, Xu Yu let out a sigh of relief.
Now, it was up to him.
He pointed the Golden Scepter forward.
With the activation of his second soul skill, a brilliant golden light condensed at the tip of the scepter and instantly shot through the air, bathing Li Kai. The buffing effect was immediate; Li Kai's charging momentum surged even further.
Simultaneously, Xu Yu pushed his first soul skill to its limit.
A beam of gold struck the golden clouds in the sky, causing them to erupt with light. He spared no expense in soul power to raise the healing and martial soul defense buffs to their absolute peak. Under Xu Yu's full support, Li Kai was shrouded in gold.
As he used Boar's Violent Charge, the black soul power radiating from his body was tinged with a golden halo. Bursting forth with lightning speed and the force of a thunderbolt, he crashed into the midst of the dozen Giant Ring Blades produced by Surging Sea Massacre.
Instantly, dark-gold and silver-white light intertwined completely, forming a massive sphere of soul power that radiated intense energy fluctuations, drawing the gaze of everyone present.
"AAAAAH!"
Carrying immense strength and impact, and using his giant black horn as a weapon, Li Kai knocked back several ring blades directly in front of him. However, his body was still struck by a vast number of the other blades.
In an instant, he was wounded in countless places; blade marks and lacerations covered his entire frame as if dozens of people had swarmed him at once, hacking away with wild blades.
Each blade mark was no minor scratch; they were severe enough to heavily damage his martial soul form. Li Kai couldn't help but let out series of agonized screams. A series of violent clashing sounds echoed continuously until, finally, a black figure suddenly burst out from the chaos.
It was Li Kai.
He maintained his martial soul possession, but he had exhausted nearly all his strength. After rushing out, he could no longer maintain the Boar's Violent Charge. After taking only a few steps, his body pitched forward.
He slammed a single knee to the ground, his hands bracing against the floor to prevent himself from collapsing entirely. His soul power aura was fluctuating wildly, yet he still possessed the strength to fight.
Li Kai breathed heavily, gasping for air, but a look of joy surfaced on his face.
"I... I finally made it through! Haha!"
"Li Kai, quick! Use your third soul skill!" Xu Yu shouted from the distance.
This time, Li Kai did not hesitate for a second.
He channeled his martial soul and mobilized his third soul ring.
A purple thousand-year soul ring manifested.
He didn't stand up; instead, he kept his posture low, head tilted back and thrust forward as intense soul power surged. Li Kai opened his mouth wide, the giant boar snout of his possessed martial soul appearing as if it wanted to swallow Sun Chuantao whole.
"AWOOOO!!!"
Suddenly, an astonishing howl erupted like a clap of thunder.
A terrifying sonic wave spread out, agitating the air until it formed visible ripples.
Atop the massive stage, a gale suddenly rose and dust swirled. A large number of bluestone floor slabs were shattered directly by the sound waves, sending stone shards flying into the air and filling the arena. Even the golden cloud in the sky was directly destroyed by the sonic vibrations.
This was Li Kai's third soul skill: Boar's Howl Brings the Wind.
The direct offensive power of this skill wasn't exceptionally strong—it couldn't compete with the raw damage of Sun Chuantao's third soul skill—but it was a rare sonic-type attack.
It caused enemies within a certain range to suffer a powerful acoustic assault, leaving them with splitting headaches and making it difficult to move. Those with weaker strength or lower cultivation could even be knocked unconscious or vibrated to death.
The materialized sound waves were enough to generate a decent amount of kinetic force over a wide area. It was highly effective against fast Agility Attack System Soul Masters and fragile Control System Soul Masters.
It was a skill Li Kai had specifically chosen to compensate for his lack of speed.
At this moment, the sonic skill displayed its true power.
Sun Chuantao had just used his third soul skill, Surging Sea Massacre, consuming a great deal of soul power. He had no time to stop it. Under the influence of Li Kai's intense sonic attack, his mind shook and went blank.
His head felt like it was bursting, and his ears were filled with excruciating pain. He only had enough time to control the Giant Ring Blade to spin in front of him, acting as a shield to block the rolling waves of materialized sound.
The massive howling caused him to let out cries of pain.
Sun Chuantao clutched his ears tightly, desperately circulating his soul power to protect himself. However, since he was not a Beast Soul Master, he could not use martial soul possession to directly enhance his physical defense, making his efforts less than ideal.
"Ah! Ruyi Light Bloom: Defense Augmentation!"
A voice laced with pained groans rang out.
Zhao Pan, enduring the intense interference of the Boar's Howl Brings the Wind, exerted every ounce of his strength to unleash his second soul skill.
Two streaks of silver light blossomed from the Ruyi Disk; one landed on Sun Chuantao, and the other on himself. The Ruyi Disk truly lived up to its reputation as a world-renowned high-grade Support System martial soul.
Among support types, few could rival its buffing power except for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Under the defense buff of the Ruyi Disk, the pressure on Sun Chuantao and Zhao Pan eased slightly, and the agony lessened.
However, the two of them still kept their ears covered, circulating their soul power to its limits. Soul power flames flared around them, radiating intense light as they resisted Li Kai's sonic attack.
The powerful sound waves generated by Li Kai's third soul skill even affected the area outside the stage. The surrounding spectators were forced to retreat.
Ultimately, it was a Soul Saint on duty guarding the arena who mobilized spatial power to seal off the space around the four combatants, preventing the sonic waves from affecting the audience.
The violent boar's howl lasted for a full dozen seconds before finally ending. As the sound faded, Sun Chuantao couldn't help but let out a faint smirk. Li Kai had been heavily injured by his third soul skill and had then recklessly drained his soul power to use his own third soul skill.
Sun Chuantao had assumed Li Kai was going for a desperate last stand—using the howl to suppress him before launching a follow-up strike. He had been cautiously watching Li Kai's every move, but now it seemed he had been too careful.
At this moment, Li Kai simply didn't have enough power left to launch an attack.
However, it seemed he had celebrated too early.
"Watch out above!"
