Facing Dai Huabin's fierce assault right from the start, Xiao Yan didn't confront him head-on. Instead, he channeled his soul power into his Spirit Eyes, activating Spirit Detection Sharing.
Golden light flickered faintly within Xiao Yan's eyes, and with a slight movement, he tapped his toes on the ground, weaving through Dai Huabin's attacks as if he'd predicted them in advance.
Seeing his attack miss, Dai Huabin's expression shifted. A flash of uncertainty passed through his mind, and he quickly stomped the ground, his figure becoming a shadow as his claws swung sharply to the right in another attack.
Clang!
A clear sound resonated through the air as sparks flew. Dai Huabin's right claw had collided with a massive black ruler, stopping his attack cold. The raw power within the ruler caused his tiger claws to tremble slightly.
"A weapon? Why isn't he using his spirit but relying on a weapon instead? And why does this ruler feel so solid? Could it be a soul tool? No, there's no soul power fluctuation... So why does it make me feel uneasy?" Dai Huabin's face twisted in disbelief as a surge of alarm filled him.
Meanwhile, Dai Huabin's two female teammates also underwent transformations. Zhu Lu's eyes changed colors—her left eye dark green and her right eye bright blue—while her figure became even more lithe, each finger extending into razor-sharp claws. Her movements left a trail of afterimages as she charged forward.
The other girl, Cui Yajie, seemed to age three or four years with her spirit release. Her originally youthful appearance took on a mature charm as her long, wavy pink hair cascaded down her back. Her eyes also turned pink, and she now had two long tails behind her.
Cui Yajie's spirit, the Nine-Tailed Fox, gained an additional tail with each new soul ring, boosting her power significantly.
Cui Yajie's pink eyes locked onto Xiao Yan as she smiled enchantingly, her first soul ring shining brightly.
"First Soul Skill: Bewitch!"
Xiao Yan's Spirit Eyes flashed with a faint golden glow, utterly unaffected by her skill. As a pure spirit-type spirit, Xiao Yan's Spirit Eyes made him nearly immune to control skills, especially those relying on mental manipulation.
During this brief interval, Zhu Lu had already entered Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu's attack range. Her first soul ring glowed, enhancing her speed and leaving a series of afterimages as she lunged at one of the Lan sisters.
"Net of Threads!" Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu exchanged a glance and called out in unison, activating their first soul rings. Grasping hands, they unleashed a powerful wave of soul power, creating a web of blue hair that spread out like a net, encircling Zhu Lu.
With Xiao Yan's Spirit Detection Sharing aiding them, the Lan sisters' Net of Threads attack had no gaps or flaws, and their coordinated movements were flawless. Zhu Lu was instantly ensnared.
"First Soul Skill: Ghostly Thrust!"
Zhu Lu activated her first soul ring again, but her frontal strike didn't manage to fully break the web, as severed threads quickly reformed under the Lan sisters' soul power.
"Huabin!" Zhu Lu shouted as she launched another Ghostly Thrust. Simultaneously, Dai Huabin let out a roar, gathering intense white light in his mouth.
"Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"
His second soul ring flared, releasing a beam of white light that blasted into the blue web from the inside. Under the combined assault, a massive hole tore open in the web. Meanwhile, Cui Yajie shifted her target, activating her First Soul Skill: Bewitch, once again, but this time aimed at one of the Lan sisters.
"Don't look into her eyes!" Sensing the change in Cui Yajie's target, Xiao Yan shouted. At the same time, his Spirit Eyes flared with golden light, launching his mental attack skill, Soul Impact.
Whoosh!
Xiao Yan's Soul Impact, another mental attack skill, clashed with Cui Yajie's Bewitch skill. The outcome depended entirely on their respective soul powers. The pink glow in Cui Yajie's eyes met Xiao Yan's golden light, but a second later, she staggered, blood trickling from her nose and mouth as her vision blurred.
"Ah!" Cui Yajie let out a pained cry, collapsing as intense pain shot through her mind. Xiao Yan's soul power, honed under Yao Lao's tutelage, was far beyond what a two-ring Grand Soul Master like Cui Yajie could withstand, instantly incapacitating her.
"What? How is this possible?" Dai Huabin's face contorted in shock as he saw Cui Yajie collapse. "Zhu Lu, focus on that kid in black! We'll take him down first!"
With a roar, Dai Huabin charged forward, eyes gleaming with murderous intent, as Zhu Lu's shadowy figure followed closely behind him, flickering in and out of view.
Seeing the two charging at them together, the Lan sisters exchanged a determined look. Their soul rings vanished, and they embraced each other as a dark blue glow enveloped them both.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Celestial Net!"
Countless strands of shimmering blue hair formed a massive web, descending upon Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu like a constricting net. The hair tightened around them, binding them as they struggled to break free.
"Did we win?" Lan Luoluo asked, her voice trembling with hope. However, a moment later, a brilliant golden light erupted from within the Celestial Net. The web suddenly swelled.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the Celestial Net was reduced to shreds.
"To think you'd push me to use my thousand-year soul ring skill, White Tiger Diamond Transformation... impressive. But your fate is sealed." The air around Dai Huabin shimmered as he activated his third ring. His already muscular form expanded further under a blinding white glow.
His tiger claws, already enlarged by his possession, grew even more massive, now enveloped in a fierce golden light. His once light blue eyes now blazed red with intensity.
