This spear pierced through the tiger claw once again.
The Sky Tiger let out a pained roar.
Xu Yuan pulled out his spear and thrust it forward once more.
"Liushuang!"
Weng Daimin called softly, and Xue Liushuang in front of her quickly responded.
To Xie Xie's astonishment, the two women merged into one.
Another Spirit Fusion Technique!
This year's Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy had truly invested heavily, recruiting so many extraordinary students. Whether it was Long Chen's Holy Light Dragon martial soul or these two pairs capable of Spirit Fusion Techniques, they all reached the level of Shrek Academy's top-tier teams from previous years.
However, there was no doubt that this year's batch of geniuses recruited by Shrek outnumbered theirs, making it an equally explosive generation.
Xue Liushuang and Weng Daimin's bodies disappeared, replaced by the appearance of a woman in a blue dress wielding a long blue sword, standing over two meters tall in the sky.
Behind her head floated a white ice wheel, accentuating her otherworldly beauty. The best features of both Xue Liushuang and Weng Daimin's appearances were inherited by this blue-dressed woman.
As the blue-dressed woman appeared, the temperature on the entire arena plummeted sharply.
"Xie Xie!" Xu Yuan shouted.
Stop her.
Hold her off for a moment.
With both Spirit Fusion Techniques now unleashed, it also meant immense pressure.
Xie Xie understood Xu Yuan's intent and immediately charged forward. Luo Guixing coordinated with him, using spatial teleportation to instantly bring Xie Xie close behind Yan Jingxue.
The blue-dressed woman, or rather the Ice Goddess, turned her head and swung her sword, releasing a chilling blade of ice qi toward Xie Xie behind Yan Jingxue.
Yan Jingxue realized the danger and immediately lunged forward.
Zheng Yiran's figure was nimble, smooth as a snake, and she spat out a jet of venom toward the falling Yan Jingxue.
The Ice Goddess frowned slightly. The ice wheel behind her emitted light, and with a wave of her hand, a gust of icy wind mixed with snow intercepted the venom.
Xie Xie's figure flickered. He avoided clashing directly with the icy blade qi and quickly retreated, adopting a strategy of luring the Ice Goddess away.
Don't go. If you leave, your auxiliary teammate will inevitably be stabbed to death by me.
Xu Yuan's fourth soul ring finally lit up.
From the start of the battle, he had been in an absolutely dominant position.
Whether it was Long Chen, You Dingqi, Jian Mochen, or even the current Sky Tiger, none could withstand the aura of his spear.
On this arena, he was the most explosive presence.
His four black soul rings showcased his overwhelming strength.
Wherever his spear pointed, it advanced without hesitation.
At this moment, he finally unleashed his fourth soul skill.
With all four soul skills overlapping, he entered his peak state.
Life force ignited.
Crimson blood flames intertwined with azure flames.
At this moment, the azure and crimson flames intertwined, and Xu Yuan's aura surged to an extreme.
Beyond a Soul King!
Completely surpassing a Soul King.
At this moment, his soul power fluctuations and all his strength undoubtedly reached the level of a Soul Emperor.
The audience from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy rose in shock.
Teacher Zhou exclaimed in disbelief.
"Life force!"
"He's burning life force!"
Was it really necessary?
It was just a practice match.
Below the arena, in Shrek's preparation area, Wu Zhangkong furrowed his brow.
He knew that Xu Yuan's Celestial Five Elements Spear martial soul spirit had ascended to a ten-thousand-year spirit and granted him his fourth soul ring, but he didn't know the effect of this fourth soul skill.
Now, he understood.
It was a soul skill that burned life force.
No wonder this child had never used it before.
However, this exchange match was just a normal battle.
Did he really have to burn his life force to defend Shrek's honor?
Wu Zhangkong reflected that he had never noticed before how deeply Xu Yuan loved Shrek.
"True, he is, after all, the Pavilion Master's disciple."
The others in the preparation area wore expressions of shock.
"Our class monitor is going all out!"
Wu Siduo could feel that what Xu Yuan was burning was undoubtedly his life force.
Others could confirm it too, especially Gu Yue, who felt it most clearly.
But at the same time, she understood it most profoundly because while Xu Yuan burned his life force, his explosive aura reached its peak, yet his life essence showed no signs of weakening.
It wasn't that the effects of burning life force couldn't be detected—it was simply that the extent of Xu Yuan's life force combustion wasn't enough to cause him substantial harm!
Gu Yue's expression grew solemn.
She hadn't spoken with Na'er in a while and genuinely didn't know what was going on with Xu Yuan.
In fact, even Na'er wasn't fully aware of this. When Xu Yuan split his martial soul, Na'er hadn't been present throughout the process.
Fourth soul skill, Flame of Life!
Under the burning of the Flame of Life, Xu Yuan's essence, energy, and spirit were strengthened in every aspect.
He hadn't fully unleashed the Seven Forbidden Techniques.
The maximum weakening effect on the enemy remained at thirty percent.
Even now, it was still the same—he hadn't employed stronger sealing techniques.
Instead, he primarily used the Seven Forbidden Techniques to empower himself.
His essence, energy, and spirit, surging to their peak, merged with heaven and earth, amplifying himself.
Xu Yuan's aura became even more terrifying.
Every movement seemed to carry the power of an entire space.
Boom!
He swung his spear, and the Sky Tiger's expression changed drastically. Even without a direct collision, the force of this spear made its skin ache faintly.
This spear strike would definitely hurt.
Bang!
A single sweep sent the Sky Tiger stumbling backward.
Xu Yuan wielded the Celestial Five Elements Spear, striking down repeatedly with his spear.
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
One-sided explosions.
The mighty Sky Tiger, at this moment, resembled a small kitten being beaten by Xu Yuan's spear. Each strike battered the Sky Tiger, leaving it covered in wounds.
The spectators below were already holding their breath, feeling suffocated.
Could such a powerful Sky Tiger be so easily defeated by Xu Yuan alone?
Tang Wulin swallowed hard, feeling fear.
"Is Brother Yuan's full power this terrifying?"
Half a year ago, Wu Siduo's self-merging Spirit Fusion Technique couldn't defeat Xu Yuan, but back then, Xu Yuan had fully unleashed the Seven Forbidden Techniques, weakening the Ghostly White Tiger by at least fifty percent.
Bang!
Another spear strike landed, and the Sky Tiger transformed into a burst of intense light.
The massive figure dissipated, and as the light faded, the battered Kuang Zhantian and Jian Mochen appeared before everyone.
At this moment, the two were bruised and bloodied, collapsing to the ground, looking at Xu Yuan with eyes filled with terror.
What kind of monster was this?
Xu Yuan's body was enveloped in flames of azure and crimson, exuding an overwhelming aura that made him look like a great demon king, emanating an indescribable sense of oppression.
Boom!
Without pausing, Xu Yuan pushed off with his feet, transforming into a streak of light and charging fiercely toward the enemy's backline twenty meters away.
The Ice Goddess froze Xie Xie in place, and a chilling blade of ice swept down.
Xu Yuan thrust his spear, releasing a spear aura to intercept the blade.
Blood essence converged; his third soul ring was pitch-black.
Piercing Spear.
Xu Yuan transformed into a streak of light—an interwoven brilliance of azure and crimson!
