Even now, Hu Liena's influence on Ma Hongjun was minimal!
Let alone fighting at the same level.
At this moment, a figure appeared, causing Ma Hongjun, Hu Liena, and the Heaven Dou Royal members to pause with their mouths slightly open, speechless.
"So, so fast?"
The figure was Yan, who was "flying" through the air!
Even though he was a defense-type Battle Soul King, the match had just started a few seconds ago, right?
How could he have been defeated so quickly?
At this moment, Yan looked utterly defeated. Who knew what he had encountered?
Was that a water dragon?
That was a tyrannosaurus rex!
She grabbed him with no resistance on his part, and with her hand, she smashed him left and right into the ground with great force!
In just one move, he was defeated!
And he became a shield to block Ma Hongjun's attack!
This was humiliation, pure humiliation!
Ma Hongjun: "..."
If this attack landed, Yan would be severely injured if not dead!
The attack he had carefully prepared had to be redirected elsewhere.
"Sorry..."
"I broke my promise..."
"And became a burden..."
After saying this, Yan tilted his head and passed out.
Everyone: "..."
The Spirit Hall Team's strongest defender, Yan, hadn't even lasted twenty seconds. This spoke volumes about how formidable Dugu Yan was!
Everyone gulped and looked at each other.
What should they do next?
"Nana!"
Xie Yue looked at Hu Liena with determination. Yan was beaten like this; he had to avenge Yan!
Even if they couldn't win, it was better for everyone to get beaten together!
"Yes!"
Hu Liena also wanted to avenge Yan, but their chances of winning were slim!
"Ma Hongjun, you guys hold on!"
"Got it!"
Ma Hongjun was very frustrated. Originally, this attack could have at least taken out three people!
Shi Mo, Shi Mo, and Ye Lingling couldn't withstand his attack!
Unexpectedly, his most energy-consuming soul skill had to be forcibly redirected to avoid hitting his teammate.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, Yan might have been lying flat on the ground by now.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Charm Demon!"
Only by using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill could they possibly defeat this tyrannosaurus rex!
Of course, the chances were slim.
Xie Yue and Hu Liena didn't have high hopes.
Using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill gave them the power of a Soul Sage, though without releasing their true martial soul.
Facing a Soul Sage without releasing their true martial soul, they might have a chance to win.
But Dugu Yan was different; she played with Soul Sages, whether they released their true martial soul or not!
How could they fight?
They couldn't win, period!
As the Charm Demon Fusion completed, a pink mist rose.
Dugu Yan spread her dragon claws, looking speechless.
Sending a defense-type Battle Soul King to guard against her?
What a joke!
"I can interrupt your fusion at any time, but I'll give you the chance to fuse!"
Dugu Yan said with a "proud" expression. With Neuvillette watching, she really wanted to show off.
That desire to show off was uncontrollable, even for Dugu Yan.
But as long as Neuvillette wasn't around, this emotion almost disappeared, and she could be her true self.
The reason for this, Dugu Yan didn't want to delve into. Her Water Dragon Martial Soul was, after all, a subordinate to Neuvillette. Such situations were normal.
Hearing this, Charm Demon remained silent, though the hands gripping the twin blades trembled slightly, indicating their inner turmoil.
Charm Demon couldn't make a strong counterattack, which was the most fatal, because what the opponent said was probably true!
"It's time to end the match."
Dugu Yan muttered and charged into the pink mist.
She didn't use any soul skills; she simply relied on her strong physique to parry Xie Yue's scimitars.
"Ding, ding, ding..."
The sound of blades clashing with dragon claws rang out like music, pleasant and metallic.
Dugu Yan was unaffected. Such attacks couldn't break her defense, let alone harm her.
Charm Demon grew more and more terrified. Despite attacking with all their might, their blades were nearly dull!
And the result?
"Full Moon!"
Full Moon was Xie Yue's self-created soul skill, which could also be used in the state of Martial Soul Fusion.
With a "smack," Charm Demon was sent flying, their face under the mask bewildered.
Just as they were about to release Full Moon, Dugu Yan, without any pretense, disarmed them with a shock and followed with a slap!
The damage was considerable, and the humiliation even greater!
Charm Demon: "..."
"Smack..."
The airborne Charm Demon was caught up by Dugu Yan, receiving another humiliating slap...
Fortunately, this happened within the mist, so not many could see what was going on inside, preserving some of Charm Demon's dignity.
"Smack, smack, smack..."
A few more slaps followed. Dugu Yan's strength was immense!
After a few heavy slaps, Charm Demon split back into two individuals as the mist dissipated.
Hu Liena covered her face with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes. She had never been humiliated like this before!
Killing someone was one thing, but this woman was simply unreasonable, always aiming for the face!
Xie Yue didn't cover his face with his hands; he just glared fiercely at Dugu Yan.
He wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.
Everyone: "..."
Wow, she made one of them cry?
Hu Liena wasn't really crying; she just felt wronged.
Why!
Why use a god-given martial soul?
If Dugu Yan didn't have the martial soul bestowed by Neuvillette, she was confident she could easily handle her!
Neuvillette, is this what you call fairness?
Bestowing a martial soul and then having her compete against "ordinary" soul masters, what's the point?
Bestowing a martial soul was one thing, but making it so powerful...
In the same level, even a Martial Soul Fusion Skill couldn't do anything against her?
This martial soul was stronger than a fusion skill; how was anyone supposed to compete?
Fortunately, Hu Liena didn't know that the essence of Martial Soul Fusion Skills was actually the fusion of the powers of ancient gods!
Gathering fragments to "summon" their true forms and powers.
That's the true essence of Martial Soul Fusion Skills.
Gods?
Divine beasts?
Even the weakest Water Dragon was considered a divine beast on Douluo Continent.
A fusion product couldn't possibly compare to the complete version.
This is why Dugu Yan was so powerful.
And also why later characters like Tang Wulin and Lan Xuanyu were so formidable.
The complete versions were ultimately complete.
They couldn't be compared to imperfect versions.
The saying that there were no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters, was just the fancy of some mediocre person.
In this world where martial souls and bloodlines determined both the lower and upper limits, the useless would always be useless!
Of course, there was a way to solve this problem.
Deep Blue, adding points!
"The Spirit Hall Team surrenders!"
This was not said by Hu Liena and her team, nor by their leading teacher.
It was said by the Pope, Bibi Dong!
She looked at the tearful Hu Liena with some heartache...
"Xue Qinghe": "Damn fox!"
