Xue Wu froze in place. That immensely powerful ten thousand years soul skill was simply beyond her capabilities as a support-oriented soul master from the Skywater Academy.
Her main role was to alter the environment, creating conditions more favorable for the combat strategies of the Skywater Academy.
Additionally, she could merge her martial soul with Bing'er's, unleashing a formidable fusion technique!
That roughly summed up Xue Wu's role.
Within the Skywater team, especially in group battles, she was a crucial figure.
If not for being targeted, while everyone protected Bing'er and attacked Tang San, someone would have guarded Xue Wu.
Just as Xue Wu snapped out of her trance, from the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a figure—tall and imposing...
"Xue Wu, you're out."
With Neuvillette's words, Xue Wu felt everything spin around her. The next moment, she found herself outside the arena.
Xue Wu: "..."
Everyone else: "..."
Seeing Neuvillette holding the Blue Silver Emperor spear and looking at Xue Wu below the stage, everyone's eyes twitched. This person really...
So fast!
The match continued on the field without stopping because of Xue Wu.
"Let's interview Xue Wu."
Outside the arena, Focalors approached Xue Wu with a soul communicator.
"Xue Wu, do you have any objections regarding the rescue and elimination just now?"
Focalors asked seriously.
Many soul masters would act tough, claiming they could withstand the blow after the referee saved them, complaining about unfairness and such.
These responses were quite common.
Xue Wu was a Soul Ancestor after all. Faced with such a soul skill, what if she could actually withstand the blow?
Perhaps she had some hidden cards?
Even if she had nothing, what if she simply refused to accept defeat?
These were all things the referee needed to consider.
When deciding whether a player could withstand an attack and continue, these were the factors to weigh.
Once the referee intervened, it meant the player was eliminated from the match.
Hearing this and looking at Focalors, Xue Wu finally snapped out of her daze.
She instinctively took the microphone and said, "Tang Yin's feint attack was too much for me to resist. Even if I used my soul skill, it would have been too late."
"I have no objections to Judge Neuvillette's decision. I want to thank him here. If it weren't for him, I might not have escaped with just being knocked out, or even worse, serious injury."
Xue Wu spoke sincerely. In that moment, she thought she was done for!
Fortunately, Neuvillette intervened in time. Otherwise, the consequences could have been unimaginable.
After saying this, Xue Wu handed the microphone back to Focalors.
The audience nodded in understanding. As spectators, they saw the situation clearly. Moreover, many of them had some level of soul power, so they understood how dangerous the situation on the field truly was.
"Judge Neuvillette's decision was without any problem. If he hadn't intervened to save this girl, she might have suffered serious injury even if she didn't die!"
"Yes, this is clearly a ten thousand year single-target soul skill. Its power is far beyond what ordinary ten thousand-year-level soul skills can compare to."
When it comes to attacking soul skills, there are single-target and group types.
Among them, soul skills of the same level naturally have more terrifying attacks when they are single-targeted, especially when targeting an individual.
Group soul skills, due to their dispersed nature, have reduced power, which is also normal.
Xue Wu herself wasn't particularly strong in one-on-one combat; she could handle weaker opponents but faced with Tang San's ten thousand years single-target soul skill, it was indeed quite challenging.
"Since Xue Wu has no objections, let's refocus on the arena!"
At this moment on the stage, Bing'er snapped out of her daze and immediately noticed Xue Wu below the platform.
In that instant, she realized everything.
Whether it was about fairness in combat or strategic usage, Xue Wu's elimination, as a core support member, greatly impacted the Skywater Academy team!
"The tide has turned."
It was inevitable. Xue Wu was not only core for martial soul fusion but also a core member of the Skywater team.
Her elimination indirectly weakened Skywater's overall strength.
"Bing'er, you have no chance now!"
Tang San smirked slightly, a hint of satisfaction in his voice.
A simple tactic had hit its mark.
Honestly speaking, this was strategic foresight!
If their opponent hadn't supported Bing'er, he would have eliminated her directly with this move.
Under the psychological pressure of the six-person team, Bing'er would have been defenseless.
If they had supported Bing'er, he would have targeted another potential fusion partner, disrupting their strategy just as effectively.
Strike where the enemy must defend; the opponent had no choice!
"Having a chance isn't just about what you say!"
"Releasing a ten thousand years soul skill, along with thousand-year-level skills, must also be quite exhausting for you, right?"
Bing'er wasn't foolish. Releasing ten thousand-years soul skills as a Soul Ancestor or Soul King consumed considerable energy.
Considering Xue Wu's contribution alone, Skywater wasn't at a disadvantage.
They had simply lost a trump card.
"The consumption is significant."
Tang San shrugged, smiling. "But it's sufficient to deal with you."
"As long as I eliminate you, these Soul Elders of yours will be like fish on a chopping board!"
The Skywater team consisted of only two Soul Ancestors, with Xue Wu being one and their captain, Bing'er, the other.
The rest of the team were all Soul Elders.
If Tang San could eliminate Bing'er, even without assistance from his teammates, he was confident that he could single-handedly eliminate all these women!
This wasn't arrogance on his part; he genuinely possessed that strength.
Upon hearing this, the women were furious. Tang Yin might look good, but why did he have to be so irritating?
"Captain Bing'er, I should thank you for the reminder. Otherwise, I wouldn't have paid attention to the condition of these teammates."
After saying this, a green light burst forth from Tang San's body, instantly enveloping the entire arena.
Unlike the promotion matches where vegetation was everywhere, here, the Blue Silver Domain also provided significant enhancement for Tang San.
The Blue Sunshine Six members were stunned, visibly puzzled.
This was a comprehensive attribute boost?
And this soul power recovery?
Tang Yin's domain was quite something!
Bing'er and her team's expressions changed drastically. They weren't Tang San's teammates, so they couldn't benefit from the enhancement; instead, they were suppressed!
Soul Ancestor suffered a 10% suppression of all attributes because Bing'er and Tang San were of the same rank.
Soul Elder suffered a 20% suppression because they had one less soul ring than Tang San!
With this give-and-take situation, the tide once again turned in favor of Blue Sunshine Academy.
"This... this is a domain?!"
"Wow, a Soul Ancestor not only has the fourth Ten thousand years soul ring but also a domain?"
The audience was dumbfounded, their eyes wide with disbelief.
This wasn't just a postnatal domain or a domain-type soul skill!
This was a congenital domain...
