Chapter 56 The Silent Hand
A deathly silence fell over the entire arena. Xie Huanyue looked at the empty arena in front of him and the bustling spectator stands in stark contrast, and couldn't help but feel a chill.
Even the most formidable opponents in the past were usually worn down by the overwhelming force of his soul power and physical strength. But this incredibly strange mental ability left him with a profound sense of powerlessness. He had even given up all hope of ever defeating the Luo brothers.
So much time has passed, Huo Yuhao and the others must have already dealt with those two brothers, and they're probably watching us from somewhere, ready to launch a sneak attack!
Xie Huanyue was no longer willing to sit and wait for his death. He activated his soul power, propelling his body into the sky like a soul-guided cannonball, leaping over ten meters high. Then, he curled his body into a giant ball of flesh and crashed into a random direction on the field!
It crashed to the ground with a loud thud, kicking up a cloud of dust and leaving a large crater.
But clearly, Xie Huanyue's attempt to probe ultimately came to nothing.
Xie Huan Yue cautiously looked around, deciding to continue probing the location of Huo Yuhao and the other two. The first spirit ring on Xie Huan Yue's back finally lit up, and his already enormous body expanded again, becoming round and resembling a giant ball as he rampaged across the field.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao and his two companions were observing Xie Huanyue's movements in a corner of the arena. Huo Yuhao stroked his chin, half-closing his eyes as he analyzed Xie Huanyue's situation.
"This guy's soul power should be level 32, and his martial soul is a special type of defensive martial soul, specializing in strength, endurance, and defense. If we take the initiative to attack, it will probably take a considerable amount of time to take him down."
Wang Dong asked with some confusion, "Why don't you just use your third soul skill to take him down?"
Before Huo Yuhao could speak, Xiao Xiao reminded Wang Dong, "You saw what happened to Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo last time. It wouldn't be good if something went wrong again."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong involuntarily recalled the scene of Huo Yuhao and Xie Huanyue touching foreheads, and was immediately startled.
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched as he raised his hand and delivered a chop to Wang Dong's neck, while simultaneously glaring at Xiao Xiao. Their conversation was easily misunderstood!
Xiao Xiao stuck out her cute little tongue, trying to get away with it by being adorable.
Huo Yuhao didn't bother arguing with them and said, "The Illusionary Eyes changed a bit last time, and I haven't quite figured out the situation yet, so I can't use it. When we deal with Xie Huanyue, I'll be in charge of interference, Xiao Xiao will handle the control, and Wang Dong will be the main attacker. It's okay to reveal a little bit of our trump cards; I've prepared everything for tomorrow's finals."
Xiao Xiao looked at him in surprise and asked curiously, "What are you preparing?"
Huo Yuhao made a shushing gesture and didn't continue the topic.
Wang Dong, who was standing next to him, seemed to remember something, but he had no desire to say it.
Xiao Xiao looked at the two guys who were speaking in riddles and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
On the other side, Xie Huanyue wandered around aimlessly like a headless fly, but didn't even catch a glimpse of Huo Yuhao and the other two.
Exhausted from the long day, Xie Huanyue stopped, panting heavily. Her whole body was tense, and she was on guard against any occasional rustling or movement around her. Her heart was pounding in her throat.
Just then, a sudden gust of wind swept up a cloud of yellow sand, and Xie Huanyue couldn't help but squint. When the wind subsided, he slowly opened his eyes, only to find that the place in front of him had suddenly turned into a suspended high place, and he realized that his feet seemed to have left the ground.
When he looked down, the vast expanse of sky suddenly appeared before his eyes!
This sudden change terrified Xie Huanyue so much that her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground!
After a moment of confusion, Xie Huanyue finally came to his senses, but his heart was still pounding violently.
It turned out that this was just an illusion; the vast expanse of space beneath their feet was all fake, and this was actually the real ground.
At that moment, Xie Huanyue's brief moment of relaxation due to fright became the perfect opportunity for Xiao Xiao to strike!
The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron appeared out of nowhere from around Xie Huanyue and crashed down heavily with the powerful control effect of the cauldron's shock!
Caught off guard, Xie Huanyue was hit squarely. If he hadn't kept his Martial Soul active, even a Soul Master like him would have had a hard time surviving the blow.
With his powerful fighting instincts, Xie Huanyue immediately adjusted his mindset, lit up his second soul ring, and suddenly swung out his originally short and thick right arm, which grew longer and lashed out at the surrounding giant cauldrons like an elephant's trunk!
With a bang, whether it was the impact of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron or the unique elasticity of Xie Huanyue's Elephant Martial Soul, Xie Huanyue was directly bounced away, avoiding Xiao Xiao's follow-up attack.
Just as Xie Huanyue finally felt she could breathe a sigh of relief, Xiao Xiaozhan emerged from her camouflage, holding a jade flute with nine phoenixes circling above it, like a fairy revealing her true form from the clouds.
Then the yellow soul ring quietly lit up, a melodious tune slowly played, and a layer of emerald green light spread out from Xiao Xiao as the center, the sluggish and viscous texture instantly locking onto Xie Huan Yue!
"Twin Martial Souls!" Almost everyone watching exclaimed in unison.
That's right, the soul skill Xiao Xiao is using right now comes from her second martial soul, the Nine Phoenixes' Auspicious Flute. Her only first soul ring, only a hundred years old, only reduces the opponent's speed by twenty percent, but that's enough.
Because Wang Dong's energy storage has ended.
At this moment, the Goddess of Light Butterfly emerged from the veil of mist, illuminating the entire arena with its dazzling blue-gold light.
Above the azure wings, the golden spots of light burst forth like miniature suns that had been ignited, radiating dazzling brilliance.
These lights, manipulated by Wang Dong, converged on the forewing and blazed with intense light and heat towards the direction of the Evil Illusion Moon, instantly engulfing the entire arena in gold!
All eyes of the academy's high-ranking officials on the viewing platform were focused on this moment, as the magnificent and noble Butterfly God's Light once again displayed the power of that thousand-year-old soul skill!
Xie Huanyue hurriedly activated his third soul ring, attempting to use his thousand-year-old soul skill to counter the oncoming light of the Butterfly God.
His body was curled up into a ball, and his black skin was instantly covered with a faint metallic sheen, somewhat resembling the appearance of an armadillo when it is curled up.
When the golden light collided with the black metallic sphere that the Evil Moon had transformed into, the golden and black light created ripples, followed by a terrifying shockwave!
Xie Huanyue used most of his soul power to amplify his defense, finally blocking Wang Dong's charged attack of his millennium soul skill.
Seeing this, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao couldn't help but sigh in amazement; this guy's defensive capabilities were simply outrageous.
However, Xie Huanyue, who only had a small portion of his soul power left, was also uncertain, because he had not seen Huo Yuhao's whereabouts from beginning to end. If the three opponents were to repeat the same move he had just made, he would almost certainly lose.
Thinking of this, he felt a sense of powerlessness, but Xie Huanyue was also unwilling to admit defeat.
Just then, a hand silently landed on his shoulder, emanating an extremely cold aura.
