In the spectator stands, Flender and Yu Xiaogang watched as Xiao Wu sent Yu Tianheng staggering back seven or eight steps with a single punch. Both of their eyes were filled with disbelief.
The power Xiao Wu displayed didn't resemble that of a Soft-Boned Rabbit Spirit Master at all.
"Something's not right," Yu Xiaogang murmured. "Even if Xiao Wu has reached an extremely high level of soul power control, there are some things that simply can't be changed."
"If she could use her control to fight Yu Tianheng evenly—or even be slightly stronger—I wouldn't be surprised."
"But what she's showing now is complete domination."
"Not to mention, Yu Tianheng is actually one level higher than she is."
Countless thoughts flashed through Yu Xiaogang's mind, and he couldn't help but glance to the side.
Not far away, Qi Lin was sitting with Gu Yuena, a bucket of popcorn in hand, watching the match with great interest.
Yu Xiaogang was almost certain that the changes in Xiao Wu were definitely related to Qi Lin.
But how exactly did Qi Lin manage it? That, he simply couldn't figure out.
Meanwhile, in the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena—
The battle between the two teams was on the verge of erupting!
Compared to the aggressive charge from Shrek Academy, the Royal Fighting Team at least maintained some semblance of formation at the beginning.
Dugu Yan stood next to Ye Lingling, while the Shi brothers, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, acted as the frontline defenders. The agility-type soul masters Yu Feng and Oslo targeted Ning Rongrong and Oscar.
Yu Tianheng was the main attacker.
However, reality quickly crushed their ideal plan.
Yu Tianheng was completely suppressed by Xiao Wu. Dai Mubai faced off against Shi Mo and immediately activated his first and third soul skills.
Though both were at Rank 38, Dai Mubai's explosive power gave him a massive edge, pushing Shi Mo back relentlessly.
Tang San raised his hand, unleashing countless blue-black vines from his palm like whips. They lashed toward Oslo and Yu Feng, harassing them while creating openings for Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun to attack.
Ning Rongrong cast buffs—her first soul skill boosted strength, and her second boosted speed. However, she could only support two people at a time with her current power.
She chose to support Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai.
Oscar also used his third soul skill, tossing sausages to Tang San and the others.
With Tang San and Oscar's support—and three months of intensive training—Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun were able to go head-to-head with the Rank 35–36 Yu Feng and Oslo.
Zhu Zhuqing, in particular, had the speed advantage over Oslo.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu versus Yu Tianheng was pure domination.
Power, speed, defense—
Yu Tianheng, wielder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, was being completely overpowered in every aspect.
Xiao Wu's fists struck like a torrential storm, pounding Yu Tianheng mercilessly.
"Thunder Wrath!"
After being suppressed for so long, Yu Tianheng could no longer hold back. With a low shout, he activated his third soul skill.
His lightning power surged, doubling in intensity. His soul power increased by 50%, and the skill could be maintained as long as his soul power lasted.
"Come on!" Yu Tianheng's forehead flashed with a blue-purple lightning mark as arcs of electricity crackled around him.
But to Xiao Wu, his control over soul power was laughably crude.
His soul power was too scattered, severely weakening the force behind his attacks.
He looked threatening, but in reality, he was a paper tiger.
"Let big sister Xiao Wu teach you how to really use soul power!"
Xiao Wu giggled, reaching out her hand.
In the next second, pink soul power condensed into a large, shimmering pink hammer.
She gripped the handle tightly, her expression turning dangerous as she looked at Yu Tianheng.
"That's…"
"A self-created soul skill?" Yu Tianheng frowned at the pink hammer in her hand.
But he didn't hesitate. He launched his first soul skill at her.
"Thunder Dragon Claw!"
A massive claw formed from lightning surged toward Xiao Wu.
The claw howled through the air, but Xiao Wu only snorted softly and took a deep breath.
Soul power surged into the pink hammer in her hands. She raised it with both arms and slammed it down on the incoming claw.
Boom!
A deafening explosion followed. Light flared where the two powers collided, and a shockwave blasted outward.
Yu Tianheng winced in pain.
The power of the person before him was terrifying.
But it wasn't over.
While he was dazed, a sharp sound sliced through the air.
"Crap!"
Yu Tianheng's eyes widened as the shadow of the pink hammer rapidly enlarged in his vision. His expression froze.
In desperation, he raised his dragon-scaled right arm to block.
Bang!
A dull thud rang out. The hammer's monstrous power traveled through Yu Tianheng's arm into his internal organs.
Scales shattered. Blood spurted from his mouth. His body flew backward like a broken kite and crashed heavily near Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
"Tianheng!"
Dugu Yan cried out, her face instantly filled with rage.
Though they weren't officially together, she and Yu Tianheng clearly had feelings for each other. Seeing him so badly injured, she couldn't sit still.
"Lingling, heal him!"
With that, Dugu Yan darted forward like a snake. Her purple soul ring lit up.
Third soul skill: Jade Phosphor Purple Poison!
Her eyes turned violet, and she opened her mouth to unleash a thick purple poison mist toward the Shrek team.
"Not good, Sister Yan is furious! Retreat!"
The remaining Royal Fighting Team members panicked. They forced their opponents back, trying to regroup.
Even the Shi brothers, still tangled with Dai Mubai, quickly withdrew. Clearly, they feared this venom greatly.
Seeing their reaction, Tang San's expression changed slightly.
He knew that Realgar Wine could neutralize snake venom, but he hadn't brought any due to overconfidence.
Fortunately, Oscar's second soul skill provided detoxification. As long as they ended the fight quickly, it would be fine.
"Oscar, send out the detox sausages!" Tang San called.
"Got it!"
But before Oscar could act, Xiao Wu spoke up:
"No need to bother!"
She shot toward Dugu Yan like a pink afterimage.
When she was less than ten meters away, she suddenly vanished.
"Sister Yan, behind you!"
The Royal Fighting Team cried out in alarm—but it was too late for Dugu Yan.
As a fragile poison-type soul master, she stood no chance if Xiao Wu got close.
"Down you go!"
Perhaps because Dugu Yan was a woman, Xiao Wu didn't use her hammer. Instead, she delivered a fierce kick to Dugu Yan's back.
With her Soft-Boned Rabbit Martial Soul, Xiao Wu's strongest attack was her legs.
That single kick sent the completely unguarded Dugu Yan flying.
With a scream, her delicate figure was blasted out of the arena like a cannonball.
Instant KO!
The Royal Fighting Team fell into stunned silence.
Sister Yan… was eliminated just like that?!
With Yu Tianheng seriously injured and Dugu Yan eliminated, the Royal Fighting Team no longer had the strength to resist.
As the referee's voice rang out, Shrek Academy was declared the victor!
