NABC Chapter 20: Show Off Your Soul Rings to Me!?
Chapter 20: Show Off Your Soul Rings to Me!?
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Continental Elite Advanced Soul Master Tournament is now beginning!"
"Tianshui Academy versus Shrek Academy, please welcome both sides to the arena!"
As the host's voice faded, the atmosphere in the entire arena was instantly ignited.
When the Shrek Seven Devils walked onto the stage in their eye-catching "green" team uniforms, a burst of suppressed laughter still erupted from the audience. After all, the green uniforms adorned with "GG" were really glaring in the sunlight.
But when they stood still, Dai Mubai shouted, "Brothers, activate your martial spirits!" and all the laughter stopped abruptly.
Dai Mubai had four soul rings, two yellow and two purple, circulating around him. Following him, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu... Except for Xiao Wu, who still had three rings, the rest of them were all Soul Masters!
As four spirit rings—two yellow, one purple, and one black—slowly rose from beneath Tang San's feet, especially the deep black ten-thousand-year spirit ring that appeared, the entire arena fell silent for a moment before erupting into a tsunami of gasps.
"The fourth ring in ten thousand years... How is this possible!"
In the VIP section, Emperor Xueye's pupils suddenly contracted, and Ning Fengzhi beside him couldn't help but be taken aback.
Meanwhile, Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, unconsciously clenched his fingers on the back of his chair, his gaze fixed on Tang San like a venomous snake.
Tang San felt the shocked gazes from all around him, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This is the effect he wanted: to use strength to etch the name Shrek into everyone's eyes!
"Third Brother, with that spirit ring of yours shining, the other side is probably dumbfounded!"
Ma Hongjun leaned closer, winked, and whispered.
"Fatty, shut up and focus on the game."
Dai Mubai rebuked him in a low voice.
On the opposite side, the team from Tianshui Academy consisted entirely of outstanding female students, whose light blue uniforms made them look like lotus flowers emerging from the water.
Captain Shui Bing'er stood at the front, her temperament as cold as ice. The team members behind her also looked solemn and did not panic despite Shrek Academy's display of spirit rings.
Just then, Yang Teng, a boy from the Tianshui Academy team who had been tilting his head and seemed somewhat lazy, suddenly twisted his neck.
His gaze swept past everyone and landed directly on Tang San, or more precisely, on that black spirit ring.
"You dare try to pull off a Soul Ring showdown with me?"
Yang Teng's voice wasn't loud, but it had a peculiar penetrating power, clearly reaching the ears of the Shrek Academy members.
Before he finished speaking, he took a step forward.
"Activate your Martial Soul."
There were no rousing shouts, just three simple words.
But the next moment, the spirit ring that rose from the bottom of his feet silenced the entire arena!
Purple, purple, black, black!
Four spirit rings, two of which are thousand years old at the beginning, and two of which are ten thousand years old at the end!
The emanating soul power fluctuations were like a tangible tide, instantly overwhelming the impact of Tang San's ten-thousand-year soul ring.
Even more chilling was that, along with the appearance of the spirit ring, a phantom yet majestic dragon shadow flashed past behind him.
"Double ten thousand years?"
In the VIP section, Salas suddenly leaned forward, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"This...this doesn't conform to the theory of spirit ring absorption! Who is he?!"
Ning Fengzhi paused, his usually composed face now filled with disbelief. Emperor Xueye stood up abruptly, staring intently at the scene.
On Shrek's side, Ma Hongjun opened his mouth wide, and after a long while, he stammered.
"Third...Third Brother, that...that guy named Yang Teng, his spirit rings are even more...powerful than yours!"
Xiao Wu raised her eyebrows and glared at him fiercely.
"You fatso! You're boosting others' morale while diminishing your own, aren't you! Third Brother is the best!"
The smugness on Tang San's face had vanished without a trace, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.
The Purple Demon Eye quietly activated, attempting to see through Yang Teng, but found it difficult to fathom his depths.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said in a deep voice.
"Proceed according to the original plan! Mu Bai!"
Dai Mubai snapped out of his shock. As the team leader, he knew he couldn't afford to panic at this moment.
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
"White Tiger's Blazing Light Wave!"
His body suddenly swelled, exuding a violent power, and he spat out an extremely blazing golden-white light wave that shot straight towards the center of the Tianshui Academy's formation, intending to disrupt the opponent's strategy.
However, faced with this fierce attack, Yang Teng merely raised his eyes lazily.
"Shui Bing'er, freeze."
He didn't even intend to take action himself; he simply gave a calm order, and an invisible, heavy pressure, as if it could solidify space, suddenly descended and precisely enveloped Dai Mubai!
"Ugh!"
Dai Mubai's forward momentum suddenly stopped, as if he had crashed into an invisible wall, and he was forced to stand still!
It was at this opportune moment that an excellent opportunity for battle was created.
Shui Bing'er's eyes narrowed, and she instantly unleashed her first soul skill, which she had prepared long ago.
"Freeze!"
An extremely cold, icy blue light spread out from her center at an astonishing speed, heading straight for the Shrek Seven Devils.
Her goal was clear: to take advantage of the brief moment of chaos in Shrek Academy's formation when Dai Mubai was controlled, and to control even more people.
"not good!"
Tang San's Purple Demon Eye captured every detail. Dai Mubai was inexplicably suppressed, his attack missed, and the opponent's control soul skill was already upon him!
He didn't have time to think about Yang Teng's strange ability before his fourth spirit ring suddenly emitted a burst of black light!
"Blue Silver Cage!"
Blue Silver Grass with black patterns burst forth from the ground, not to attack, but to rapidly intertwine in front of the Shrek group, forming a dense vine barrier.
Shui Bing'er's icy aura struck the Blue Silver Cage, producing a "crackling" freezing sound, but it was ultimately blocked by the instantaneous ten-thousand-year soul skill. Only Oscar and Ning Rongrong on the edge were slightly affected by the cold aura, and their movements were slightly slowed down.
"That Tang San, his reaction is so fast!"
A hint of amazement flashed in Shui Bing'er's beautiful eyes. She hadn't expected that her opponent could use such a soul skill for defense, and that the timing was perfect.
"Is it fast?"
A clear, melodious female voice, but devoid of any discernible emotion, rang out.
The stunningly beautiful Gu Yuena, who had been standing quietly behind Yang Teng, slowly walked forward.
She had rare long silver hair, clear purple eyes, and an exquisite appearance that seemed otherworldly.
Five spirit rings floated silently beneath her feet: two yellow, two purple, and one black.
Although her spirit ring configuration seems conventional, her young age as a spirit king is already astonishing enough.
Gu Yuena's gaze swept calmly over the seven Shrek students who were on high alert, finally landing on Yang Teng, and she asked indifferently.
"Do you want to show off?"
Yang Teng maintained his lazy demeanor, even yawning slightly, and glanced at Dai Mubai, who was struggling under his invisible pressure and whose face was flushed red.
"It's been ten seconds."
He spoke casually, as if he were simply stating a trivial fact.
"Xiao Na, gather them together, I'll clean them up all at once later!"
"Um."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly, raising her slender, fair right hand, palm facing upwards.
For a split second, the light on the field seemed to distort.
In the VIP section, Ning Fengzhi lost his voice.
"Elemental control?! Such a pure and vast convergence of elements... this girl..."
Salas's face was gloomy. He stared intently at Gu Yuena, then glanced at Yang Teng, his heart churning with turmoil.
What are the origins of these two monsters that suddenly appeared?!
Within the Shrek Academy formation, Tang San's Purple Demon Eye operated wildly, allowing him to see the terrifying energy contained within the sphere of light.
"Scatter! Scatter now!" Tang San roared hoarsely.
Yang Teng's lips curled into a half-smile, and his usually lazy gaze suddenly sharpened.
"What kind of soul skill is this?!"
Tang San was horrified. The Blue Silver Grass spread wildly, trying to stabilize his own members, but he found that under that strange force field, the Blue Silver Grass was also disturbed and disordered.
The Shrek Seven Devils were forcibly gathered together by an invisible force in just two or three seconds!
A massive feng shui vortex spun in the arena, gradually growing larger.
Gu Yuena parted her red lips slightly and uttered four words:
"Elemental Tides".
