Tang San was also observing the most conspicuous three people from the Spirit Hall Academy. Before he could finish analyzing them in his mind, Dugu Bo's voice sounded in his ear.
"Pay close attention to these three people."
Tang San turned to look. Dugu Bo had appeared beside him at some unknown time, his sharp eyes fixed on them, not looking away for a moment.
"These three are the three prodigies that Spirit Hall boasts as the Golden Generation."
Dugu Bo explained, and Tang San immediately cast aside all his distracting thoughts, calmly listening to information about his opponents.
"The young man in the front is named Xie Yue, a Level 52 offensive system Battle Soul King. His martial soul is Moon Blade, and he is an artifact soul master. The one with red hair is Yan, also Level 52, a fire-attribute offensive system Battle Soul King, his martial soul is Flame Lord."
"To Xie Yue's other side is the girl, his sister Hu Liena, a Level 51 control system Battle Soul King, her martial soul is Fox."
"Three Soul Kings?! Are they also within the participating age limit?!" Tang San's eyes widened in shock.
Dugu Bo nodded gravely and continued, "You should be able to tell that Hu Liena and Xie Yue resemble each other somewhat, and that's because they are siblings. Their situation is very similar to yours and that little girl's, except they each took their parents' surnames, inheriting aspects from both."
"Among the three, you and the little girl should not only be wary of those two offensive system Battle Soul Kings, but also pay special attention to Hu Liena. That's because Hu Liena possesses extremely potent charm abilities, and her soul skills are all primarily charm-based."
Tang San's gaze shifted, he memorized Dugu Bo's words without missing a single one.
Master was also listening quietly from the side, but his gaze had already drifted to the back of the competition stage, towards the majestic and towering Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong, is this the challenge you've set for me?
Below, as announced by the referee, the match began. Su Dan Novel Network
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy, not daring to be negligent, immediately released their martial souls.
As captain, Yu Tianheng looked up. When he saw the opponents' martial souls fully unleashed, even though he was prepared, his heart still skipped a beat.
The three standing at the front, Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena, each had two yellow, two purple, and one black soul ring glowing on their bodies – an optimal soul ring distribution.
"Hiss—!"
The spectators gasped in unison. On the Shrek side, Ma Hongjun, whose face usually held a smile, lost his smile entirely.
After seeing their soul power levels, they first marveled, and then their gazes simultaneously turned to Tang Sui standing beside Tang San.
On the battle stage, the powerful pressure emanating from the condensed trio weakened Yu Tianheng's dominance by a few points.
The next second, someone from the Spirit Hall Academy team moved, but it wasn't the captain Xie Yue, but his sister Hu Liena.
After unleashing her martial soul, a trace of a special aura emanated from Hu Liena, making her appear even more enchanting and beautiful.
Hu Liena, taking graceful steps, turned her body. Yellowish spirit energy flickered in the air. In the next moment, she had already arrived at the forefront of the team. A fluffy fox tail behind her swayed slightly, and a faint red light emerged from her body, exuding an aura of charm.
On the opposite side, Yu Tianheng, who was preparing to unleash his soul skill, paused. He abruptly closed his eyes and shouted to his teammates, "Don't look at her eyes!"
"Will it be alright if we don't look at her eyes?"
Hu Liena's soft, husky voice seemed to whisper in their ears as it drew nearer.
"Others, they all call me Sky Fox~"
Hu Liena's tone rose slightly at the end, as if it carried a hook, causing the Heaven Dou Royal Academy members, who had closed their eyes but were still preparing to counterattack, to falter. Not a single one made a move!
The next moment, Hu Liena's five soul rings flashed in a very orderly manner. First, the black fifth soul ring, then the fourth, third, second, and finally the yellow first soul ring.
And every time her soul rings fluctuated, the red light on her would intensify, making her appear even more alluring.
"It seems time is about right."
On the Spirit Hall Academy's side, among the team members who were all standing with their arms crossed, captain Xie Yue moved.
He held two blood-red artifact martial souls, Moon Blades, in his hands. The two Moon Blades resembled crescent moons, extremely thin and sharp, but his hands were firmly clasped in the middle of the blades, not being pricked by their sharpness at all.
Xie Yue raised his arms and spun his body, surprisingly charging towards his sister from behind.
The instant Xie Yue and Hu Liena's bodies collided, a red light screen suddenly appeared and spread out.
That layer of red light enveloped the two of them, much like the black cocoon that appeared when Tang San and Tang Sui unleashed their martial soul fusion skill, except this one was blood-red.
The red light instantly burst forth, and a deep red mist spread out, quickly covering nearly half of the competition stage. The members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, who were already close, were not spared and were enveloped in the red mist!
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill?!" Tang San's pupils contracted, and he blurted out the words.
Below, the other five members of the Spirit Hall Academy team, including Yan, seemed to have no intention of making a move. Yan even retreated several steps, standing together with his teammates.
Inside the red mist, red light flickered. The original two people transformed into a figure clad in mithril armor, with flowing hair, appearing genderless.
Tang Sui, who was watching from below, suddenly looked pale, but she still stared intently at the red mist.
Not for any other reason, but because... with her current mental strength, she still couldn't see what was happening inside the red mist!
However, the system had thoughtfully provided her with a backdoor, displaying a thermal imaging map before her. Even if she couldn't see the specifics, the thermal imaging map was enough to discern the battle situation.
