"Blue Silver Domain!"
"First Soul Skill, Star Spirit Power!"
"Second Soul Skill, Purifying Violet Moon!"
As Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Su Yu also activated his Blue Silver Domain.
After merging with the Blade of Vitality, Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass had evolved, enhancing the power of his Blue Silver Domain even further.
Within the domain, Su Yu's movement speed was doubled.
His soul power recovery rate and soul skill effectiveness were also amplified.
Even his teammates benefited, gaining a 40% boost in their soul power recovery speed.
"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line!"
As Su Yu released his domain, Ma Xiaotao from Shrek Academy instantly went into her Martial Soul state and unleashed her first soul skill.
Her red flames, tinged with black, surged forward to burn away the Blue Silver Grass within Su Yu's domain.
Everywhere the evil fire passed, the Blue Silver Grass was scorched to ash.
However, in the next moment, countless strands of Blue Silver Grass sprang up once again.
"Wildfire can never consume it all; when the spring breeze blows, it returns to life."
This was the ultimate essence of the Blue Silver Grass.
"What terrifying vitality."
Seeing this, Wang Yan's expression changed drastically.
He had instructed Ma Xiaotao to act the moment Su Yu released his domain, aiming to weaken the domain's power as much as possible.
However, even Ma Xiaotao's evil fire couldn't completely eradicate the Blue Silver Grass within Su Yu's domain.
"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Diamond Transformation!"
"Fifth Soul Skill, White Tiger Demon Transformation!"
Dai Yueheng activated both soul skills, maximizing his state as he charged forward in his Martial Soul form.
With Dai Yueheng holding the front line and shielding Shrek from the Sun Moon Royal Team's bombardment, Ye Wushuang also pressed forward.
Jiang Nannan circled the outer edge, watching for an opening.
He Caitou manned the cannon, launching attacks at Xiao Hongchen and Ma Rulong.
However, one pair of fists was no match for four hands.
Not to mention, Xiao Hongchen's talent and mastery in soul cannons were unmatched.
Moreover, Xiao Hongchen had gone all out by starting with his Martial Soul Fusion, giving him peak combat strength.
A massive, three-legged crimson-gold toad stood firmly at the center of Su Yu's group.
Its body was wrapped in a metallic barrier.
Soul cannon barrels emerged from the barrier's surface.
One hundred and eight Level Five Soul Cannons were ready for action.
If not for Su Yu's support through the Blue Silver Domain and his first soul skill, even in the Martial Soul Fusion state, Xiao Hongchen would struggle to control so many soul cannons of the same level.
But in reality, Su Yu made it possible.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Seventy-two of the Level Five soul cannons operated in unison, with groups of thirty-six coordinating to unleash blasts with the force of a Level Six soul cannon.
The remaining thirty-six soul cannons, under Xiao Hongchen's skillful control, continued to bombard relentlessly.
This output matched the power of two Soul Emperor-level experts repeatedly using their fifth and sixth soul skills, bolstered by multiple Soul Kings executing ten-thousand-year soul skills.
Xiao Hongchen showcased the formidable power of soul tools, fully maximizing energy efficiency through the core array.
The damage potential of this energy reached its peak.
Meanwhile, Su Yu only needed to concentrate on deploying his first soul skill to sustain soul power for both himself and his allies.
Their combined output was now comparable to that of two Soul Emperors.
At the same time, Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass grew rapidly.
Jiang Nannan, positioned on the outskirts, was ensnared by the Blue Silver Grass.
Receiving Su Yu's signal, Ma Rulong immediately fired his cannon at the now-bound Jiang Nannan.
Sensing danger, Dai Yueheng muttered a quick warning to himself.
"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Light Wave!"
"Blue Silver Wall!"
Su Yu's spiritual power surpassed even Ma Rulong's.
Especially after fusing with the Vitality Gold, his spiritual sea had transformed significantly.
Now, Su Yu's spiritual power level was on par with an average seventy-level Soul Saint.
Dai Yueheng launched an energy wave from his mouth to intercept Ma Rulong's soul cannon blast, but Su Yu quickly deployed the Blue Silver Wall to block the attack.
Boom!
"Fourth Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Body!"
Jiang Nannan was forced to use her Invincible Golden Body, fulfilling Su Yu's objective.
After Dai Yueheng's White Tiger Light Wave was blocked, he ceased his rescue attempts and refocused his ferocious attacks on Su Yu.
Su Yu was the core.
This was beyond doubt.
In every tactical arrangement made by Wang Yan, Su Yu had been designated the primary target for elimination.
"Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass possesses life attributes, so his support capabilities are undoubtedly top-tier.
His control abilities are not likely to be lacking, either.
One might even speculate that, as a soul engineer, his spiritual power is unusually high for his rank, especially after absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
With abilities in support, control, and substantial combat power, he's shaping up to be the toughest opponent."
A shooter who doesn't require tank protection, who can support, control, and deal damage—
And with his powerful spiritual strength, he could potentially exhibit all of these abilities simultaneously.
This was truly terrifying.
Even with Hongchen's Devotion in play, Shrek's team adhered to their original strategy.
Take down Su Yu.
"Fourth Soul Skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower!"
A torrent of energy beams cascaded down, colliding mid-air with the incoming soul cannon blasts as Dai Yueheng accelerated into the fray.
The piercing call of a phoenix rang out.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower!"
"Fourth Soul Skill, Star Illumination!"
Su Yue from Shrek wielded her Star Spirit Staff, casting a glimmering light that settled upon Ma Xiaotao.
Almost half the arena was covered under the vast reach of Ma Xiaotao's ten-thousand-year soul skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower, even dampening most of Xiao Hongchen's firepower.
However, the homing ability of the Level Six soul cannon forced Ma Xiaotao, a flight-capable, powerful assault-type soul master, to remain cautious. She held back from diving too deep for fear of being fully locked on.
Ye Wushuang unleashed all four of his soul skills, flashing his sword to duel Mi Jia in close combat.
Chen Fei used his speed advantage to relentlessly suppress Wang Dong.
Only two minutes had passed since the start of the match.
Yet, the arena pulsed with intense, heated energy clashes that had continued uninterrupted for these full two minutes.
Finally, Dai Yueheng broke through the defenses and reached Su Yu.
"Sixth Soul Skill, White Tiger Annihilation Strike!"
Su Yu had drawn his enemy in deeper, fully aware he wasn't planning to take on this ten-thousand-year skill directly.
Instead, he relied on the same strategy he had used to resist the Martial Soul Fusion of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
However, this time he didn't require the previous Void Engraving Array.
His Martial Soul instinctively guided soul power to reinforce the strength of the Blue Silver Grass.
Simultaneously, two powerful runes glowed with intensity within his spiritual sea.
Boom!
"Fifth Soul Skill, Phoenix Cloud-Piercer!"
This was Ma Xiaotao's strongest single-target attack soul skill.
She hurtled down from above in a direct line, aiming straight for Su Yu.
Xiao Hongchen instantly locked onto her position.
Seventy-two Level Five soul cannons interlinked, their combined power equaling two fully charged Level Six soul cannons.
Boom! Boom!
Two cannon blasts fired.
One shot was directed toward Ye Wushuang.
The other shot headed straight for Wang Dong.
A single, standard Level Five cannon shot followed, aimed at Ma Xiaotao.
Clang!
Ma Xiaotao activated a Level Five Invincible Barrier.
"Damn it!"
Wang Yan cursed, realizing that the Sun Moon Royal Team was resorting to underhanded tactics.
A Level Five Invincible Barrier! Just days earlier, Shrek Academy had spent a fortune—1.5 million gold soul coins at auction—to secure it.
Meanwhile, Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Cloud-Piercer struck down at Su Yu.
