Chapter 243.
In a matter of seconds, almost instantly, the Shadow Ladybug was defeated. However, this outcome didn't surprise everyone. Several soul masters at the forty-fifth level could approximate the opponent's location by relying on the weak soul power fluctuation of the Shadow Ladybug soul master.
Furthermore, considering the power of Jiu Yikai, the Shadow Academy wasn't in a rush and sent out a second soul master immediately!
This soul master is also quite intriguing! His martial soul is the Purple Dragonfly, seemingly unrelated to the Shadow Academy.
However, his concealment ability is incredibly potent, even surpassing that of the Shadow Ladybug Soul Master! At Level 41, he's also the deputy captain of the Shadow Academy, named Li Ziying.
Li Ziying donned a lavender gown, exuding an air of elegance and his expression at ease. His face was unremarkable, yet clean and he greeted Wang Feng with a smile as he took to the court.
Without hesitation or preamble, Li Ziying immediately summoned his martial soul, causing the four soul rings on his body to illuminate rapidly!
In an instant, he pressed his hands against the ground, as thin wings sprouted from his back. Countless purple cherry like trees emerged from the grounds, their blossoms cascading down like rain, creating a stunning sight.
The audience was left in awe. Li Ziying, much like the captain of the Shadow Team, hadn't played until now. This was the first time, indicating the Shadow Academy's significant regard for Jiu Yikai. However, the opponent's abilities were exceedingly peculiar!
"I thought the Purple Dragonfly is a beast martial soul? How does it have the abilities of a plant martial soul?" Dai Mubai exclaimed. "Isn't it a Purple Dragonfly martial soul?"
Indeed, observing the arena, the countless purple cherry trees that sprouted within seconds created a world of purple blossoms, obscuring his figure. This ability looks like as if it belongs to plant-type martial souls, not beast martial soul.
"It must be a mutant martial soul," the Grandmaster explained.
"All Purple Dragonflies are called such because they exclusively inhabit environments with purple cherry trees. When separated from this environment, their vitality greatly diminishes. If one absorbs the soul ring of a thousand-year-old purple cherry tree, they gain abilities similar to a plant soul master, but limited to the purple cherry tree. Such a martial soul ability has significant limitations and cannot absorb other plant martial souls."
"If my guess is correct, this Purple Dragonfly Soul Master can manipulate and conceal his soul power within the environment of the Purple Cherry Trees. You need to have a very high perception ability to be able to sense him."
The Grandmaster, knowledgeable in various fields, quickly explained the situation to everyone. Soon, everyone understood it, and they were astonished.
"I can't sense the Purple Dragonfly soul master at all!" Dai Mubai's expression shifted slightly.
"He's created this unique environment to completely mask his aura. Because those purple cherry trees also emit soul power fluctuations! So it's extremely difficult to perceive the opponent's position based on his own soul power fluctuations!"
Everyone nodded in understanding. If even the soul power fluctuations couldn't be detected, the opponent's advantage in this environment surpassed mere invisibility! It was nearly impossible to detect him.
"Fortunately, we have Fatty. Dealing with this kind of soul master, he can just burn it all with his fire!" Oscar nudged Ma Hongjun. Ma Hongjun's Phoenix flames could inflict massive damage to this plant environment.
"But it's not that simple," the Grandmaster interjected with a slight frown. "Those purple cherry trees have some change..."
As everyone watched, countless purple cherry blossoms sprouted on the battle ring, creating a misty atmosphere.
"They're becoming blurry!" Tang San stated gravely. "He has a soul ability that allows these trees to enter an illusory state. These purple cherry trees are no longer real. They can shield against the enemy's perception of soul power fluctuations. It strengthens their defense against burning or freezing, making it even harder to pinpoint his location."
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun wilted like a frosted eggplant.
"The opponent's soul ring is very powerful indeed! I wonder what the fourth soul ability of his is? I fear it's an offensive one... Wait, that's not right!" Tang San's tone shifted suddenly. "Do you sense Jiu Yikai's figure? How come I can't feel it anymore?"
Tang San's words stunned everyone, not just him. Many people were bewildered at this moment.
With purple cherry blossoms fluttering in the sky and countless trees standing tall, the entire arena resembled a purple cherry forest. Li Ziying had vanished, and except for the college tutors, who could barely perceive anything, the rest of the students couldn't sense their opponent's presence nor see their figure.
But what was surprising was that Jiu Yikai was also missing.
Indeed, it seemed as if there was no one in the ring at all! Even the instructors from the colleges couldn't sense it, let alone see it.
"Flender, can you sense anything?" Liu Erlong furrowed her brow, asking, "Your Cat Eagle are much better at perceiving energy and soul power fluctuations than mine."
Everyone turned to look at Flender, awaiting his response. However, Flender shook his head and said, "I can sense Purple Dragonfly soul master to some extent, but I can't sense Jiu Yikai..."
Suddenly, Tang San's group was shocked. Not even Dean Flender can perceive him?
"What's going on here?" Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye, as purple glint flashed in his eyes, as countless energies flowed onto the front battle stage.
But... Tang San still couldn't sense any soul power fluctuations from Jiu Yikai.
Gone?
Could it be another disguise?
Tang San was truly shocked. What kind of disguise could completely conceal his soul power fluctuations? He couldn't penetrate it with the Purple Demon Eye. Even that Purple Dragonfly Soul Master, Tang San could discern a bit!
At this moment, he wasn't the only one stunned.
Li Ziying on the ring was also shocked.
His third soul ability allowed him to create a small area of a purple cherry forest, covering most of the arena. With this illusory purple cherry forest, he could perfectly shield his own soul power fluctuations, lurking and waiting for the perfect opportunity within the forest to launch an attack.
He wasn't invisible, but his concealment surpassed invisibility to some degree. Additionally, his attire resembled the purple cherry tree, making him difficult to spot with the naked eye.
Furthermore, with the enemy in the purple cherry forest, he could easily detect every move–!
Thus, in this scenario, defeating the opponent should have been easy! As long as the opponent's soul ability level wasn't higher than his by ten levels, he could perceive them clearly, providing numerous ways to deal with the enemy!
But now... he couldn't perceive the opponent's location or soul power fluctuations within the purple cherry forest!
Beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead.
But now this Jiu Yikai, he also can't even sense him. Is it a soul ability?
Of course, it's the first soul ability of the [Black Hoop Spiritual Skull], Haze!
It allows Wang Feng to completely shield his own aura, completely.
Honestly, in general, Wang Feng's didn't use it very often because there's nowhere to hide. The ring is so vast, you can't sense his aura, but you can see him with the naked eye, without sensing...
He didn't expect that when this soul master came up, he would directly create such a large number of purple cherry trees, providing a perfect opportunity for him to hide.
You should know that once his [Haze] soul ability is activated and he shields his own aura, even a 60,000-year-old soul beast was not able to sense him.
At this moment, the court is very quiet. It's like two assassins hiding in the forest, preparing to strike a fatal blow to the enemy! It depends on who finds out first.
Thump, thump, thump!
Li Ziying seemed to hear the sound of his own heartbeat, as if he felt the other person behind him. He turned around in a bit of horror, but only saw a forest of purple cherry blossoms.
He moved quietly in the forest, hiding his figure with the help of the purple cherry trees.
But still, he couldn't sense any trace of the other party.
This is the strangest opponent he's encountered in many years, even stranger than the captain.
At that moment, a sudden gust of wind swept from behind. Li Ziying's skin prickled, instinctively wanting to turn his head, but then heard a low voice:
"Don't look back!"
As the voice rang out, the fourth soul ring on Li Ziying's body suddenly lit up, and he jerked his head around.
Boom!
A tremendous force struck from behind! In an instant, Li Ziying was sent flying, crashing through several blurred purple cherry trees and out of the ring!
Witnessing this, countless eyes widened in shock as they saw Li Ziying being blasted out.
Jiu Yikai had won again!
