---------------------------------------------------------------------
Xu Yuan's explosive power was incredibly fierce.
With just one exchange, he completely suppressed the three frontline members of the opposing team.
Of course, such an explosive outburst also came with a brief cooldown period.
At this moment, Yang Nianxia charged forward, his Dark Golden Bear martial soul activated, three soul rings flashing as he entered from the side and rushed toward You Dingqi, who had been forced back by Xu Yuan's spear shadows.
You Dingqi, already pushed back by Xu Yuan, couldn't regain footing in time. Now facing Yang Nianxia's bear claw, he had no time to gather strength and could only raise his meteor hammer defensively in front of his chest. He was forced to retreat again.
Yang Nianxia sneered and continued to swipe with his massive bear paw.
Seeing this, Long Chen, who had intended to counterattack Xu Yuan, swung his dragon claw to intercept Yang Nianxia's strike.
However, this cost him the opportunity to retaliate against Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan's strength had already regenerated.
The Tianyuan Five Elements Spear surged straight for Long Chen's face.
Long Chen gritted his teeth and unleashed an unprecedented wave of Holy Light Dragon aura, pushing his bloodline power to its limit.
His second soul ring flashed.
Second soul skill, Dragon's Roar!
The dragon's roar, mixed with the dragon's might, became almost tangible, causing the surrounding ground to tremble faintly.
Even Yang Nianxia nearby felt a significant change in pressure. Despite not being bloodline-suppressed, the shockwave of this dragon's roar was still overwhelming.
However, it had absolutely no effect on Xu Yuan.
With unwavering willpower, he feared no intimidation.
With the spear in hand, he was fearless, charging forward without hesitation!
Long Chen's expression changed drastically.
This was the first time he had encountered an opponent completely unaffected by his second soul skill.
In a panic, he could only raise both claws in front of him, his arms covered with white scales of the Holy Light Dragon.
Bang!
Long Chen retreated again, staggering back four steps.
Yang Nianxia grinned and pressed his advantage, swiping another massive bear paw at You Dingqi.
On the other side, Xie Xie had bypassed the three frontline members and was about to strike the four members at the rear of the Sun Moon Imperial Team. Jian Mochen reacted and threw his shield to block Xie Xie's path mid-dash.
Seeing this, Luo Guixing shot a silver light onto Xie Xie.
In a flash, Xie Xie reappeared in another direction, still charging toward the enemy's backline.
His speed hadn't slowed; if anything, it had increased.
Jian Mochen's expression shifted slightly as he attempted to recall his shield remotely to block Xie Xie again. However, at this moment, Xu Yucheng had already arrived, swinging his massive Death Scythe.
With his shield already thrown, Jian Mochen's expression faltered as he retreated repeatedly, trying to dodge Xu Yucheng's Death Scythe.
The scythe was even larger than Xu Yuan's spear, with an enormous attack range. How could Jian Mochen possibly evade it with mere footwork?
In moments, his body was covered in wounds, and his stamina was draining rapidly.
Every strike of Xu Yucheng's scythe seemed to sap Jian Mochen's physical strength and soul power, rapidly weakening him.
Jian Mochen's expression darkened as he summoned his shield back to block Xu Yucheng's scythe, locking it in place and engaging in a standoff.
Yet, strange forces from the wounds on his body continued to drain his soul power.
It was as if holes had been opened in his body, preventing him from retaining his soul power temporarily.
Such a terrifying technique.
Zheng Yiran darted out from Xu Yuan's side, transforming into a nimble Jade Phosphor Serpent. Taking advantage of the gap created by the suppression of the three frontline members, she slipped in and released a cloud of purple venomous mist.
A silver glow flickered around Xie Xie, not teleporting him but instead enveloping him in a protective barrier, seemingly designed to isolate Zheng Yiran's venom.
At this moment, Xie Xie finally struck.
---
In the backline, among the four girls: Xue Liushuang, a four-ring Soul Ancestor with all-purple soul rings; Weng Daimin, three purple soul rings; Kuang Zhantian, three purple soul rings; and Yan Jingxue, three purple soul rings!
In other words, among the seven members on the field, there were three Soul Ancestors and four Soul Masters. Moreover, aside from Jian Mochen, all the other soul masters possessed purple soul rings!
Such a terrifying lineup, and they were all under sixteen years old—evidence of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy's strength.
Perhaps this generation of the Sun Moon Imperial Team was also at its peak.
However, they had encountered Xu Yuan's cohort.
Xie Xie's burst was extremely swift.
Though there were still ten meters left, he suddenly closed the distance and appeared before Yan Jingxue.
Holding his Shadow Dragon Dagger, Xie Xie's expression was cold and merciless, stabbing down without hesitation.
However, facing Xie Xie's strike, the seemingly delicate Yan Jingxue remained relatively calm.
From both sides, a sword and an axe appeared simultaneously.
A longsword wreathed in icy sword qi clashed with Xie Xie's Shadow Dragon Dagger.
On the other side, a massive axe accompanied by a tiger's roar descended, aiming straight for Xie Xie's face.
Xie Xie's expression shifted slightly. His Shadow Dragon Dagger dissipated, and a Light Dragon Dagger condensed in his left hand, thrusting forward.
Using the terrifying force of the giant axe, he swiftly retreated. Luo Guixing also utilized the silver glow enveloping Xie Xie to instantly teleport him to another side.
Xie Xie was alarmed.
Two of the four girls in the backline were strong attackers!
The battlefield hadn't fully separated yet, and as everyone sought their opponents, Xie Xie clearly suffered a setback.
However, Zheng Yiran was already close behind, her vast cloud of purple venom spreading. The four girls' expressions shifted slightly.
Among them, Xue Liufrost held an icy sword, with a layer of frost circulating around her body, isolating the venom.
Weng Daimin wielded an ice staff, freezing the surrounding air into layers of frost to slow the spread of the poison.
Even so, the venom continued to spread. Though the frost couldn't permanently contain the toxin, it did delay its effects briefly.
Xue Liufrost lunged at Zheng Yiran with her sword.
Since the poison was troublesome, she would eliminate the source.
Kuang Zhantian swung her Heavenly Tiger Axe alongside Xue Liufrost, attacking together.
Not only Xie Xie but Zheng Yiran, who also targeted the backline, now faced the pressure of these two strong attackers.
No, there was also Weng Daimin, a control-type soul master, adding to the pressure.
In the rear of the Shrek team, Luo Guixing's expression shifted slightly.
The four girls in the opposing backline were all formidable.
Especially that Kuang Zhantian, wielding a pair of giant axes, far exceeded his expectations.
Gritting his teeth, he activated his soul skill again.
Silver light enveloped Zheng Yiran, teleporting her to the edge of the battlefield, separating her and Xie Xie to opposite sides, dividing the forces of the four girls.
Seeing this, Kuang Zhantian immediately broke away from the backline and moved forward to join Jian Mochen, fighting Xu Yucheng together.
Weng Daimin and Yan Jingxue stood side by side, while Xue Liufrost held her sword, wary of Xie Xie and Zheng Yiran.
Yan Jingxue's martial soul was a peculiar radiance. Among her three purple soul rings, the first and second flashed simultaneously.
Two types of light descended—red light enveloped Long Chen, Kuang Zhantian, and You Dingqi, while yellowish-brown light covered Jian Mochen.
An auxiliary-type soul master.
Xie Xie's eyes glowed green as he locked onto Yan Jingxue, silently vowing to eliminate her with his next strike.
Behind them, Luo Guixing narrowed his eyes, focusing on Yan Jingxue and Xie Xie's positions. A silver glow gathered in his palm, ready to initiate spatial teleportation at any moment.
