Yu Xiaogang's eyes were dazed. He had already suspected that Qian Renxue might be Bibi Dong's daughter, but a part of him still held onto a slim hope that he was wrong. When the red-robed bishop publicly confirmed it, his fantasies crumbled.
Yu Xiaogang had thought that, with his "restored" body and Bibi Dong having spared him once, he might use his "silver tongue" to persuade her somehow. After all, with his connections to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and his father's strength, he didn't believe Bibi Dong would dare to kill him.
Bibi Dong, although feeling some shame at the rumors among the audience, forced herself to remain calm. She knew Qian Renxue had to reveal her identity eventually, so it might as well be now. Glancing at Yu Xiaogang with disdain, she remembered the requirements of her eighth test for the Rakshasa God and snorted inwardly. She had nearly broken him mentally, and once the tournament ended, it would be time to act. She thought, Enjoy what little time you have left, Yu Xiaogang.
Seeing that the moment was right, the bishop announced, "Let the battle begin!"
Hu Liena refrained from immediately using her fusion skill with Xie Yue, deciding to test the waters first.
"First soul skill, Fox Charm!" she called out.
In a flash, Hu Liena unleashed her alluring charm, amplifying her natural beauty and targeting Su Ming. But Su Ming simply looked at her calmly, unphased. Although the charm didn't affect him, he had to consciously restrain his physiological response as a man to Hu Liena's allure, his posture slightly stiffening.
Seeing Su Ming resist the charm, Xiao Wu couldn't help but jump in. "Hu Liena, let's see if your Fox Charm is stronger than my Charm!"
"Second soul skill, Charm!"
The two conflicting charm forces clashed in the air, creating a powerful spiritual shockwave. Su Ming suspected that Xiao Wu and Hu Liena were equally matched in spiritual power. Although Xiao Wu had been training with the spiritual techniques he'd taught her, her experience and cultivation level were still limited. Hu Liena, on the other hand, had focused on charm techniques her whole life and was a Spirit Emperor, making her spiritual power comparable to a high-level Spirit Sage or even a low-level Spirit Douluo.
As predicted, both Xiao Wu and Hu Liena staggered back slightly, ending in a draw.
Frustrated, Hu Liena signaled to Xie Yue, "Brother!"
Understanding her cue, Xie Yue grabbed her right hand, ready to unleash their full power immediately.
"Martial Spirit Fusion Skill, Enchanting Demon!"
A thick red mist filled the field, and from within it emerged a towering armored figure with an androgynous voice that blended Hu Liena's and Xie Yue's tones. They wielded two crescent blades that emanated a chilling aura.
As the red mist engulfed the Heaven Dou team, the seven members felt their senses dulled and their attributes weakened. Watching from the sidelines, Dugu Bo noted how formidable the red mist was, almost like a domain that weakened enemies and dulled their five senses. He thought that if Yan Yan could someday absorb the Golden Sacred Dragon's bloodline, she might develop her own domain to counter it. But for now, he could only hope Su Ming had a plan.
Seeing the Enchanting Demon fusion skill in action, the crowd gasped in awe. It seemed the tournament had been flooded with powerful fusion skills this year. With Hu Liena's Spirit Emperor level and Xie Yue's Spirit King level, their fusion skill likely had the power of a low-level Titled Douluo.
With Qian Renxue, a Spirit Douluo with a god-tier spirit, in the lineup, the audience began to wonder if the Heaven Dou team had any chance of winning.
"Su Ming, what do we do now?" Dugu Yan asked, glancing nervously at Su Ming.
Hu Liena and Xie Yue's fusion skill might not affect Su Ming much, but it posed a considerable threat to everyone else on the team. If they couldn't resist the enchantment, defending against the Enchanting Demon's crescent blades would be nearly impossible.
Smiling slightly, Su Ming activated his sixth soul ring.
"Sixth soul skill: Tree of Rejuvenation!"
Gentle green light enveloped the team, sinking into each member. The team's eyes widened as they felt their spiritual power surge by an incredible amount. Su Ming's sixth soul skill, derived from his 150,000-year soul ring, had increased their spiritual power tenfold.
Su Ming said calmly, "My sixth soul skill enhances spiritual power by ten times and speeds up its recovery, also by tenfold."
