Chapter 120.
Tang San lapsed into a hushed quiet. The adversary's tactics were impeccable—marked by extreme caution. There existed a substantial disparity in the levels of soul power between the opposing sides, making the current situation the most favorable outcome achievable.
Employing hidden eapon would undoubtedly secure victory, yet Grandmaster had prohibited such tactics. The potential lethality was too significant, a single shot could inflict irreversible harm or my even cripple them for life.
In this moment, the Nine Heart Begonia positioned in front of Ye Lingling emitted a gentle glow upon the six individuals, gradually healing everyone's injuries.
While the poison remained incurable, the injuries could be mitigated. However, Ye Lingling appeared somewhat disoriented, evidently having also breathed in some Violet mist that had wafted back moments ago.
"You've been defeated." declared Yu Tianheng, his breath labored. Despite the dragon's claws successfully resisting Tang San's Eight Spider's Lances poison, it had rapidly spread, rendering his arms a shade of purple.
"This was more challenging than I had anticipated," admitted Yu Tianheng, perspiring profusely. He inadvertently inhaled the swept back purple mist, leaving his head feeling a bit heavy.
Dugu Yan also wore a slightly grim expression, her soul power also nearly depleted.
They threw themselves into the battle with unrestrained effort, holding nothing back.
It was at this moment.
In this critical situation, Zhu Zhuqing, catching her breath, stepped forward to Wang Feng and declared, "I aim to emerge victorious."
"..." Wang Feng.
Just these simple words...
"Very well." Wang Feng responded, devoid of pretense. All of them had already made their mark and proved themselves in this game. Wang Feng wouldn't let Xiao San and the others down. Besides, he acknowledged that this situation was, in part, a consequence of his own actions.
Confronted with the three remaining opponents, Wang Feng hesitated to make a move. However, there was still one option, Zhu Zhuqing.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing also nodded slightly, utilizing 30 rest of her remaining soul power to activate her martial soul—the Hell Civet. Yet, instead of normal possession, it hovered above Zhu Zhuqing's head.
Simultaneously, Wang Feng trembled slightly, as a Crimson Red Lotus covered in what seem liked to be ice crystals slowly emerged from the center of his palm, rotating slowly, adorned with a black soul ring at its center.
Zhu Zhuqing, guided her martial soul hell Civet, to gracefully landed on the lotus platform of the Red Lotus. Between the contrasting shades of ice and fire, a dark purple sheen also quickly emerged, radiating a captivating brilliance.
The Hell Civet descended onto the lotus platform, emitting a faint feline roar as if it had been imbued with formidable power.
Suddenly! Zhu Zhuqing erupted in a radiant glow, her gaze locked onto Wang Feng's eyes. As the Hell Civet roared, she matched it with a soft moan.
Their eyes mirrored the form of a red lotus.
"Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Crimson Hell Lotus Body!" Wang Feng murmured, his soul power subtly shifting.
The Hell Civet, emerged enveloped in flames and ice alongside the Red Lotus, leaped directly into Zhu Zhuqing's brow.
Instantly!
Zhu Zhuqing became entirely cloaked in a cocoon of tempest of ice and fire, capturing everyone's attention immediately.
"What is that? Another Martial Soul Fusion Technique?" Dugu Yan exclaimed.
"It's the man from before! No, he can't be the captain of the Qingbao combination! This fused flower is red, his was golden!"
"Why do the Shrek Seven Devils possess so many martials soul fusion techniques?" Yu Tianheng observed Qin Ming in the distance discreetly.
"Nevertheless, even so, we still have three individuals... It might not be possible for them to defeat all three of us at once!"
However,
At that moment,
Zhu Zhuqing, fully shrouded in ice and fire, emerged from the icy flames cocoon, a chill ran down everyone's spine.
Almost simultaneously,
The gazes of countless onlookers were completely captivated by Zhu Zhuqing at that moment.
At this time.
Zhu Zhuqing's body was engulfed inch by inch in flames, resembling a war goddess. However, her entire form was also encased in icy crystal armor, from her shoulders, thighs, and waist to her double proud mountain peaks and neck. Even her dark mask bore a subtle layer of ice crystals, resembling red lotus petals that adorned her body in a breathtaking display of beauty. Even her flowing black hair transformed into a reddish-blue blend of ice and fire.
Two opposing auras, one fiery and the other icy, converged upon Zhu Zhuqing, creating a magnificent and glamorous spectacle. A formidable aura emanated from her at this moment.
"Is this not excessively beautiful? Those ice crystal armors... the entire body still ablaze with flames... and the intensity of this flame is beyond imagination, stronger even than my own Phoenix flame..." Ma Hongjun, at a distance, paused in his sausage feast, awestruck.
"I've been also trying the martial soul fusion technique with Wang Feng this month, but I haven't get complete control over it yet. When did they manage to practice their own martial soul fusion technique? And this state... it seems like Rongrong Seven Treasure Golden Body is nothing compared to this!"
"..." Ning Rongrong felt a twinge of envy but didn't say anything.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing, resembling a resplendent goddess of war, advanced slowly toward the remaining trio.
"Attack!" Dugu Yan's pupils contracted, and she sprayed of Jade Phosphoros Violet Poison directly at Zhu Zhuqing. This marked her final exertion as she had been completely depleted of her soul power.
the moment the Jade Phosphorous Violet Poison made contact with Zhu Zhuqing's body, it transformed into myriad of white wisps and dissipated immediately. Within a 3 meter radius around her, any poison proved ineffective.
Simultaneously, Yu Tianheng and Yu Feng, still possessing some reserve power, launched a direct assault on Zhu Zhuqing. Her expression remained impassive as she waved her hand, her spiky claws was also enveloped in ice and ablaze with flames.
Boom boom boom!
A seemingly simple gesture produced two successive appearances of flame-imbued ice crystal claws in the air, their range expansive, covering tens of meters.
Bang bang bang!
Yu Feng and Yu Tianheng in mid-air were forcefully thrown away by this extensive flame-ice crystal claw like phantom attacks, both spewing forth mouthfuls of blood.
In mid-air, an explosion of ice and fire occurred, the flames and ice covering an extensive area and relentlessly shooting in all directions. The soul fighting platform resounded with a metal colliding like noise, and the evident power behind it was formidable.
Yu Tianheng and Yufeng gazed at Zhu Zhuqing in sheer amazement.
"A basic ranged attack?" someone questioned, as the others stood stupefied.
"This martial soul fusion skill... it seems rather potent." Tang San remarked.
"The flames enveloping her body don't appear to be augmented by any external power. Regardless of enhancements or debuffs, they seem unaffected. The ice crystals, on the other hand, likely contribute to increased defense, while the flames serve as additional attack power. However, the strength is not just that of a typical attack, it comes with unique attack pattern and nearly covers a large range of attack effects. Who can even get close to her unless they have vastly superior soul power than her?"
The reality matched Tang San's observations. Wang Feng, upon experimenting, discovered that the fusion of Red Lotus with Hell Civet and Zhu Zhuqing was the most potent.
"In addition to bolstering defense and offensive capabilities, Zhu Zhuqing seems also impervious to debuffs, negative effects and various toxins. Even Xiao San's concealed weapons would struggle to penetrate her defenses."
Wang Feng whispered to himself, "The most potent aspect is undoubtedly the ordinary attack, an extraordinarily wide-ranging assault. It's practically insurmountable—one strike, and the advantage is just apparent, in a team battle, its effectiveness would be even more pronounced."
'Truly like a Goddess of War.'
It's worth noting that Zhu Zhuqing inherently operates as a highly agile attack system soul master, boasting an incredibly fast attack speed. In this state, even if the attribute augmentation isn't as extreme or exaggerated as Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Golden Body, the practical combat efficacy is exceptionally formidable.
"This marks Xiaofeng's second martial soul fusion skill," exclaimed Flender.
"Indeed, Xiaofeng's speculation seems accurate... his martial soul might truly be able to merge with these seven children!"
"If the individual we're discussing doesn't take action, given Zhu Zhuqing's current condition, it's unlikely that the remaining opponents could match her."
Grandmaster whispered, "I even entertain doubts that even with seven individuals remaining, they might not be able to overcome Zhu Zhuqing in her current state."
Grandmaster's skepticism held merit.
Evaluating Zhu Zhuqing's condition presently, the one-on-one scenario might not showcase her full potential. However, in a group battle, it's a different story—her strength would become utterly overwhelming and would be able to display its full potential.
Zhu Zhuqing advanced quickly toward the last three opponents. With a simple wave of her hand, Yu Tianheng and Yufeng were once again sent airborne. In the expansive battlefield, Yufeng, reliant on flight, found himself at a disadvantage.
"How can she become that powerful?" Yufeng touched the seared wound on his body, tendrils of flame seeming stubbornly persistent, slowly burning. "Boss, her flame seems to also be more formidable than the fatty's!"
Yu Tianheng had used the dragon claw to shield himself, preventing the flames from spreading. However, the pain was still unbearable.
"What kind of fire is this? It can even completely incinerate the poison of Tang San's spider like legs!" Yu Tianheng expressed disbelief.
At this point, his dragon claws rustled under the onslaught of flames.
"Wing Blade!"
"Surging Wind!"
Yu Feng rose to air once more, utilizing his soul abilities to attack Zhu Zhuqing directly. However, the Wing Blade storm he unleashed was effortlessly dispelled by Zhu Zhuqing's claw like attacks. The ensuing ice explosion also obliterated the Wing Blades within the tempest.
"..." Yufeng.
"I can't surpass her, captain." Yufeng conceded with a bitter smile.
"The power of this martial soul fusion technique is no less formidable than the one you encountered earlier."
Dugu Yan regarded Wang Feng's position with a serious gaze. "Is this the same person? But the two martial souls are clearly different. It's impossible for the same martial soul to merge with two others unless it's a twin martial soul. Are we just going to give up?"
"No, since he is here, Teacher Qin Ming won't ignore it!"
At this juncture, whether it was the players on the battlefield, the narrator, or the spectators in the VIP area, all were dumbfounded by Zhu Zhuqing's current state and extraordinary power. It seemed like Shrek had unleashed a mysterious martial soul fusion technique, a trump card to turn the tide.
Just then, a figure suddenly launched an attack on Zhu Zhuqing!
With teleportation like speed, the figure belonged to the Emperor team, who had been standing in the background preiously!
With a swift speed and overbearing soul power fluctuation, the man launched an attack towards Zhu Zhuqing!
Before she could even retaliate, the opponent's palm was already pressed onto Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder!
However, Zhu Zhuqing merely grunted, suffering no severe harm, but was forcefully pushed back by the potent force behind the attack.
The figure dressed in a black robe and mask, staring at Zhu Zhuqing with utmost seriousness. At that moment, the palm that had struck her had also turned blue.
"I'll take you on."
The man observed Zhu Zhuqing, his expression growing somber. A girl in her early twenties, armed with a martial soul fusion skill, demonstrated such formidable strength. Even if all the members from the Emperor team took her on, their odds were slim to defeat her. The initiator of this astonishing display was none other than Wang Feng.
Qin Ming, teacher of the Emperor team, scrutinized Wang Feng with a mix of curiosity and uncertainty. Who was this individual? What role did he play among the Shrek Seven Monsters? And what kind of martial soul, upon launching a fusion skill with Zhu Zhuqing, elevated her strength so much? It was nearly inconceivable.
While he wouldn't claim to have the capability to face the seven members of the Emperor team alone, Zhu Zhuqing's current power level was undoubtedly comparable to him, if not slightly superior. Placed on the battlefield, she could outshine even a Soul Emperor of the sixtieth level.
Her ranged basic attacks, also having explosive properties, were virtually unstoppable on a battlefield. Was this the "unexpected accident" mentioned by Tianheng? It can truly not be unforeseen.
After Qin Ming spoke, six soul rings suddenly illuminated on his body, and a giant two headed wolf martial soul wreathed in flames materialized behind him—a mutant martial soul, a Six Ring Soul Emperor.
