Chapter 204.
Zhu Zhuqing's lips curled into a smirk as she extended her left palm, coated in ice, and swiftly swiped towards the seven individuals ahead!
With just an ordinary swipe, ice crystals covered the whole arena, but she didn't attack the seven directly!
Instead, Zhu Zhuqing directed her claw towards the ground beneath the ring!
Almost immediately, a thick layer of ice formed above the ring!
This seemingly ordinary claw attack covered an extensive area, almost half of the entire arena!
Upon witnessing this, Hu Yanli's expression shifted.
"Stop!" he commanded.
The remaining six were on the verge of halting, but they couldn't! The ice on the ground were incredibly sturdy and slippery!
Originally towering figures, the sudden change in terrain added momentum to their movements.
In an instant, all but Hu Yanli found themselves slipping and sliding on the ice, akin to dancing monkeys trying to find their balance!
The audience erupted in astonishment!
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuqing, with her new appearance, nearly disrupted the seven members of Elephant Armored Sect's momentum with such a simple maneuver!
Her one of the abilities were instantly unveiled to them!
The six of them struggled to maintain their balance as Zhu Zhuqing once again moved swiftly!
Though she couldn't fly, she moved across the ground covered in ice as if gliding through the air! Totally unaffected by the terrain!
Zhu Zhuqing's attack this time came from her right claw, no elaborate maneuvers involved. With just one simple move, the fiery red claws attack assaulted the six individuals!
Although these six couldn't evade the attack and fell to the ground, their extensive training enabled them to envelop their bodies in soul energy and hide behind the Ice Crystals boulder, deploying a defensive soul skill to shield themselves somewhat.
Yet, the size of the fiery red claw was staggering, covering an area that even included Hu Yanli suspended in midair!
They had to rely on their defensive soul skills instantly to withstand the onslaught!
CRACKLE!
The fiery claw swiftly shattered the ice defenses of the seven, and then vanished.
Just as they exhaled a breath of relief, almost in the blink of an eye, two consecutive fiery red claw assailed them without hem even noticing it as they were all caught off guard!
They couldn't even activate their soul skills quickly enough!
Boom boom boom!
The fiery red claw scorched the seven, leaving their skin crimson and the flames unquenchable. Though not the true Red Lotus Karmic flames, this flame, while weakened, was comparable or even somewhat superior to Ma Hongjun's Phoenix flame.
The genuine Red Lotus Karma Fire could only be ignited by the Red Lotus itself. The flame in this soul ability was not the true Red Lotus Karmic Fire but a diluted version of it.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't allow the seven any opportunity to retaliate.
Her illusive figure, ablaze with flames and ice alike, flickered before the audience.
With each swing of her right paw, three fiery red claw attacks bombarded the seven. Simultaneously, every sweep of her left hand unleashed three ice like claw blanketed in ice crystals, alternately freezing and burning the members of the Elephant Armored Sect, inflicting significant damage upon them!
The astonishing speed inundated the audience with claw shadows, leaving everyone dumbfounded!
Basic attacks that is basically ranged attacks and three consecutive strikes—it was simply beyond reason!
Indeed, as their levels increased, the effect of the martial soul fusion technique evolved as well.
Zhu Zhuqing exhibited a swifter attack speed, a lighter and more agile posture, along with an expanded range of normal attacks and increased combos. Furthermore, the power behind each strike was augmented!
It's worth noting that the ten thousand year soul ring attached to Zhu Zhuqing's body belonged to the Red Lotus. Although Zhu Zhuqing wasn't its true owner, even a partial boost from it was incredibly formidable!
Moreover, due to the mutation of her martial soul, the Moon Elf endowed Zhu Zhuqing with even more terrifying attack speed and agility after the fusion.
Wang Feng kept track for a moment, realizing that within just a second, these seven individuals would suffer more than 20 assaults.
Yet, with each passing second, Wang Feng felt as though his soul power was rapidly depleting...
Despite breaking into a cold sweat, Wang Feng understood that this martial soul fusion skill was abnormal—it couldn't be sustained by Zhu Zhuqing for too long.
Due to its abnormality, this technique boasted an exceptionally high burst potential and an extensive range, making it perfect for swiftly annihilating any remaining adversaries within seconds!
Fortunately, Wang Feng's soul power proved resilient in this moment. Had it been any other soul master, they would have depleted of their soul power within seconds.
Thirty seconds later!
The seven members of the Elephant Armored Sect could no longer endure.
The onslaught of ice and fire proved too torturous for them to handle!
Furthermore, the ice crystals covering the ground were exceedingly hard and slippery. Being barefoot and shirtless made it even more challenging for them to stand them!
Following the manifestation of their martial soul possession, their bodies had swelled to an extreme size, causing many of their garments to burst apart a the beginning of the battle.
Consequently, standing upon such terrain rendered them unable to mount a counterattack!
"We concede defeat!" Huyan Li finally uttered weakly.
As the strongest among the seven, he couldn't devise any viable strategy at this juncture.
The attack range of these attacks was simply too vast!
Even airborne, he couldn't evade. Though he could endure for a while more, it seemed unnecessary.
With the terrain entirely enveloped in ice crystals, even if he managed to land, he'd be immobilized, unable to move.
He couldn't just ice skate.
Moreover, in mid-air, he couldn't even graze the opponent's figure. The wings on his back consumed a significant amount of soul power to move!
It was simply unavoidable. His massive and weighty body demanded an extensive amount of soul power for flight. This was the sole drawback of his mutant martial soul, yet it hardly seemed like a weakness before this match.
With Huyan Li's voice, the onslaught ceased, enveloping the entire arena in silence.
Zhu Zhuqing stood motionless, the flames that had engulfed her body subsided slightly. However, the ice crystal armor still gleamed upon her form.
Observing the opponent's ice crystal armor, Huyan Li wondered if they could have shattered it in their previous state.
Approaching Wang Feng, Zhu Zhuqing's brows furrowed momentarily before her entire being gradually returned to normal. Yet, she exuded a radiant and captivating aura, appearing still one of the most beautiful girl he has ever seen.
However, upon seeing Wang Feng beside her, his pallid complexion and beads of sweat dotting his forehead, Zhu Zhuqing's expression shifted to one of concern.
"Are you alright?" Zhu Zhuqing approached Wang Feng, nibbling on her lip, feeling somewhat guilty.
"I'm fine." Wang Feng waved his hand.
If Zhu Zhuqing hadn't held out for those 30 seconds, Wang Feng's soul power would have been completely drained. Continuing would have been impossible, unless he tapped into the reserves of the Black Lotus.
"I'm sorry. I'll try to be quicker next time," Zhu Zhuqing whispered.
"Okay? Why do you seem strange?"
Wang Feng glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, and upon seeing her radiant demeanor, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
As the battle came to an end, the stunned referee snapped back to reality and declared directly:
"The second round of the qualifier—Shrek Academy wins!"
The announcement reverberated, yet the audience remained silent, their gazes fixated on the seven members of the team. Most eyes were drawn to Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and... Wang Feng!
Naturally, Zhu Zhuqing garnered the most attention, her performance in the match had been dazzling to say the least. Powerful yet graceful, her straightforward and aggressive attacks were juxtaposed with her soul stunning beauty, creating a captivating spectacle.
She was, without a doubt, the unmatched strongest and most beautiful female in the whole of tournament.
However, in the VIP seats, almost everyone's attention was focused on Wang Feng!
Those seated in the VIP section were no ordinary individuals. They could easily discern the source of Zhu Zhuqing's power during the match—none other than Wang Feng, who had seemingly played a passive role until the end, only to execute a martial soul fusion skill with Zhu Zhuqing!
But what exactly is a martial soul fusion technique?
In essence, it's a potent soul ability generated by the combination of two martial soul. However, the fusion of these two soul martial soul had elevated Zhu Zhuqing to an invincible figure among her peers!
While Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul and soul power levels were formidable in their own right, they were still classified as just strong, which alone wouldn't justify her overwhelming strength. It was evident that Wang Feng's Red Lotus martial soul and the black ten thousand soul ring were the catalysts behind her remarkable prowess.
To the ordinary spectators, Zhu Zhuqing appeared powerful and stunningly beautiful. However, those in the VIP seats could see through the illusion, recognizing that it was all thanks to the auxiliary soul master named Wang Feng.
"This kid didn't make a move? Can a martial soul fusion skill truly be this formidable?" Ning Fengzhi expressed his astonishment. He had anticipated Wang Feng to intervene in the battle, but the sheer strength displayed by the martial soul fusion technique had caught him off guard.
In the end, this kid didn't lift a finger. He simply executed a martial soul fusion technique with the girl named Zhu Zhuqing, and it completely turned the tide!
"Ten thousand years soul ring, Red Lotus martial soul," Gu Rong murmured. "It's an extraordinary martial soul fusion technique. This is the first time I've witnessed such immense power!"
As Title Douluo, his vision was naturally sharper and more discerning. In the recent situation, not even three Zhu Zhuqings could have defeated the remaining seven members of the Elephant Armored Academy.
Yet, in just about 30 seconds, a single martial soul fusion skill had subdued them, rendering them incapable of retaliating, immobilizing them entirely, and confining the Elephant Armored Academy from all directions!
The utilization of ice to manipulate the battlefield and create unique terrain was nothing short of genius. Such cumbersome martial soul such as Diamond Mammoth were most vulnerable in such conditions unless they possessed a specialized soul ability to tackle this situation.
The combined force of ice and fire wreaked havoc even on structures with formidable defenses. Individually, they might not pose much threat. However, the fusion of the two elements, alternately freezing and burning, was unbearable even for the toughest of individuals, capable of shattering even the strongest defenses!
Huyan Zhen stared in disbelief. He hadn't anticipated that the Elephant Armored Academy, would be defeated by just these two individuals. And the fact that the auxiliary soul master named Wang Feng hadn't even acted was simply incredulous!
Salas wore an interested expression on the side, clearly taken aback by the unexpected turn of events.
Emperor Xue Ye's expression darkened even further as he –cast a cold glance at Prince Xue Xing behind him. The current Prince Xue Xing appeared as pale as a zombie.
"Hahaha..." Ning Fengzhi's laughter echoed loudly. "Sect Master Huyan, it seems your Elephant Armored academy has some serious catching up to do. Look at Shrek Academy—did you notice how their auxiliary soul master didn't even need to lift a finger?"
