"Second soul skill, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"
"Second soul skill, Thunderous Might!"
The two simultaneously unleashed their long-range soul skills, hoping to seize the opportunity to suppress Ning Tianchen.
Before the match, Tang San had assumed Chen Huayu would also stand in the front row, so he had assigned Tai Long to the front line.
He quickly gave an order: "Tai Long, assist Boss Dai and the others."
Zhu Zhuqing was growing restless, but Tang San hadn't yet mastered the technique of multitasking, so he dared not divert his attention from Ning Tianchen.
He had to keep a constant eye on Zhu Zhuqing to prevent her from slipping into the back row.
"Third soul skill, Sword Wings Soaring!"
"Fourth soul skill, Wind Dragon Sword Shadow!"
Under Ning Tianchen's control, the Seven Kill Sword unleashed waves of sword qi.
Thanks to the enhancement of his fourth soul skill, the power of the sword qi increased significantly.
"Third soul skill, Mystic Ice Armor!" Huang Wu threw out his tortoise shell, which landed in front of Ning Tianchen.
The shell rapidly expanded into a large shield, blocking the opponents' attacks on Ning Tianchen's behalf.
The might of the Wind Dragon Sword Qi remained undiminished, its fierce momentum pressing down on the two, making them feel immense pressure.
"Tianheng, we'll defend together!" Dai Mubai shouted, activating his White Tiger Vajra Transformation.
His muscles bulged all over his body, increasing both his defense and attack power. Crossing his arms in front of him, he blocked the opponent's assault.
Yu Tianheng quickly moved to his side, simultaneously activating his third soul skill—Thunder Fury.
Violent lightning enveloped their bodies, steadily weakening the onslaught of the Wind Dragon Sword Qi.
Seeing their defense struggling, Tang San immediately released Blue Silver Prison Cage, trapping their bodies within it.
Using the inherent hardness of the Blue Silver Grass, they resisted the sword qi's assault.
Below the stage, Huyan Li sneered, "Hmph, if sword qi were that easy to block, we wouldn't have lost."
And indeed, as he had expected—
The attack power of the Dragon Pattern Seven Kill Sword was overwhelmingly strong, far surpassing any other martial soul at the same level.
The Shrek team's three-man defense was practically useless—Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng were still injured by the sword qi.
From the back, Jiang Zhu waved her healing staff, mending their wounds.
Ning Tianchen wasn't about to let such a good offensive opportunity slip away. With a flick of his fingers, he controlled the Seven Kill Sword, continuously slashing at the two, keeping them busy defending.
Seeing this, Tang San couldn't help but let a faint smile appear on his lips. "When someone focuses on one target, they tend to overlook their surroundings. Tai Long, it's up to you now."
Unbeknownst to everyone, Tai Long had already crept close to Ning Tianchen.
"Captain, be careful!" Bao Zhen quickly warned, then manipulated her Thorny Vine martial soul, attempting to entangle Tai Long.
"Fourth soul skill, Shock of Strength!" Tai Long didn't hold back.
The Dragon Pattern Seven Kill Sword wasn't in Ning Tianchen's hands at the moment—it was the perfect time to strike.
A roar erupted from his Vigorous Orangutan martial soul, and he pounded his chest fiercely.
Tai Long's muscles swelled across his entire body, turning him into a monstrous powerhouse.
Soul energy continued to gather in his fists.
As a strength-type martial soul, the Vigorous Orangutan's attack power was no joke.
Upon closer perception, the force of this punch was enough to severely injure any soul master below the Soul Emperor level.
Especially for members of the Power Clan like Titan—even with only 86 levels of soul power, his strength alone could rival even a 94-level Du Gu Bo.
On the high platform, Gu Rong couldn't help but stand up. "If this blow lands, Tianchen is going to take a serious hit."
Ning Fengzhi frowned, thinking Ning Tianchen had been too reckless.
Inside the Shrek team's rest area, Yu Xiaogang laughed heartily. "Hmph, youthful arrogance always comes at a price. If you dare to arrange tactics like this, you should be prepared to face failure."
Behind the team, Ning Rongrong was ready to unleash her fourth soul skill at any moment.
Even if it meant exposing their trump card, she would ensure Ning Tianchen's safety.
But would things really turn out badly?
Suddenly, Ning Tianchen turned his head toward Tai Long, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's multitasking techniques weren't something Ning Tianchen hadn't trained in. By now, he had already mastered the ability to focus on three targets simultaneously—what they called the Three-Point Control Technique.
One point was Tang San, another was Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng combined, and the last was Tai Long.
From the moment Tai Long began advancing forward, Ning Tianchen had been watching his every move.
"Tai Long, hello there," Ning Tianchen even had the leisure to greet him.
Tai Long was slightly startled.
In his view, the Seven Kill Sword Ning Tianchen was controlling was still restraining Dai Mubai and the others.
How was he able to multitask like this?
"Even if you've noticed me, so what!" Without further thought, Tai Long raised his fist and slammed it straight toward Ning Tianchen's face.
"Sword Sheathed, Knee Raised!"
Ning Tianchen lifted his right leg, and thanks to his solid base, his body didn't waver in the slightest.
His knee shot forward explosively, while his upper body leaned backward, dodging Tai Long's punch.
His knee struck Tai Long squarely in the abdomen. The latter felt an intense pain, his eyes bulging and bloodshot. Under the force of the impact, the food he had eaten at noon came rushing out.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. As Tai Long's body surged forward, Ning Tianchen used his own momentum to stop him, transferring the force back onto Tai Long.
Using this force, Ning Tianchen adjusted his stance and swiftly retreated to the side.
The overwhelming pain left Tai Long seeing stars, completely losing his ability to resist.
Tang San tried to use his Blue Silver Grass to save him, but he was entangled by Bao Zhen's Thorny Vine, unable to move an inch.
Ning Tianchen didn't hesitate. With a single kick, he sent Tai Long flying out of the arena.
Tai Long, eliminated!
In an instant, thunderous applause erupted from the crowd below the stage.
---
On the high platform, Ning Fengzhi rarely lost his composure, but he exclaimed, "This response is absolutely textbook-worthy!"
Gu Rong pouted. "Just like Old Sword Freak—every time he recites poetry, he pulls off some earth-shattering move."
"Sword Sheathed, Knee Raised—that line of poetry isn't bad. It fits perfectly with the move just now."
Even someone as proud as him couldn't help but sigh that when it came to teaching disciples, he was far inferior to Chen Xin.
Ning Fengzhi added with a smile, "Not only that, but being able to track multiple targets simultaneously shows that Tianchen's mastery of multitasking techniques is quite advanced as well."
Salas was indifferent to either the Seven Treasures Team or the Shrek Academy—whether one side won or lost made no difference to him.
After a moment, he casually remarked, "Both his techniques and mentality are impressive. He's bound to grow into one of the continent's peak powerhouses in the future. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has quite the stroke of luck."
Gu Rong glared, his tone filled with threat. "Hmph, the affairs of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect don't concern the Spirit Hall. If you're looking for trouble, we'd be more than happy to oblige."
Although the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect hadn't actively publicized Chen Xin's breakthrough to level 97, the Spirit Hall was still aware of it.
Salas didn't believe that the Spirit Hall alone could compete with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
"Seeing such a remarkable young talent, I was merely expressing my admiration. How does that count as stirring up trouble?"
Inside the Shrek team's rest area, Yu Xiaogang suddenly leaped up from his chair, his face filled with shock. "Multitasking control—that's the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's secret inheritance technique! Damn it, when did he learn it?!"
At such a young age, his soul power had already reached the Soul King level; his swordsmanship was extraordinary; and now he had mastered multitasking control—a technique most people couldn't even begin to grasp. What kind of monster was this?!
