Chapter 58 Meat, Eggs, Scallions, Chicken, Hammond
The top eight teams were determined, and the assessment area was changed from the initial thirty-two sections to four large sections.
On one side of the assessment area, a viewing platform has also been added.
What's a bit strange is that although the platform seemed to be full of people, the middle section was left empty.
In the middle of the room sat an old man with disheveled hair and clothes that made him look like a beggar.
The old man held a wine gourd in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, his bare, dark feet resting on the stage, completely unconcerned about his image.
"Elder Xuan," Wang Yan greeted the old man respectfully.
"Where are those three you mentioned?" Xuanzi asked.
"Elder Xuan, look, they're right there, very easy to spot. Their distinguishing feature is..."
"Alright, alright, I can see for myself." Xuanzi waved the chicken leg in his hand, almost getting Wang Yan's face covered in grease.
"Yes." Wang Yan didn't dare to say anything more and could only step aside to watch the battle.
This is the quarterfinals, and after the draw, Wang Dong'er and her two teammates will face one of the three Soul Master teams.
Unlike other teams, their opponents lined up as soon as they entered. In the middle was a fat man who was at least 1.7 meters tall, but his waist was also extremely wide, making him look like a giant ball of flesh.
The teammates on either side of him were as thin as two bamboo poles and shorter than him, but their arms appeared particularly long.
Under the guidance of the proctor, the two sides exchanged names and began to prepare for the competition.
The three were from Class 2 of the freshmen. The fat guy who looked like a meatball was the Soul Master of the third ring, Xie Huanyue.
The other two are brothers, one named Luo Tianlong and the other named Luo Tianba.
As soon as the match began, even more exaggerated changes occurred in Xie Huanyue's body.
As his three spirit rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—appeared, his already taller body grew even larger, and his dark skin appeared to thicken.
However, the brothers Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba did not release their martial spirits. Instead, they hid behind Xie Huanyue as he walked forward with thunderous steps.
From the start of the freshman assessment, the three of them had been using this method to fight, and they were often able to gain a good first-mover advantage. Although they were not as good as Wang Dong'er and her two friends who could almost kill in every match, they won quite easily.
However, Huo Yuhao's mental detection is indeed an innate counter to their fighting style.
Even if the two brothers hid behind Xie Huanyue perfectly, Huo Yuhao's mental detection could instantly present the entire scene in Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao's minds through mental sharing.
Seeing the two brothers, Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba, sneaking around behind Xie Huanyue, Xiao Xiao almost burst out laughing.
This time she did not use the Nine Cauldrons Sealing Formation. After all, Xie Huanyue was a three-ring Soul Master, and her resistance to the Nine Cauldrons Sealing Formation was much higher than that of a two-ring Great Soul Master.
This is just a competition. There's no need to use every means to buy time, like when dealing with Ma Xiaotao, even if it means suffering severe backlash.
Moreover, Wang Dong'er can't kill the opponent with just her first soul skill like before, so there's no point in using the Nine Cauldrons Sealing Formation. It's better to save it for a backup plan.
The beauty and power of the Goddess of Light Butterfly remain undiminished. Most people who see Wang Dong'er's butterfly wings unfold completely for the first time are temporarily captivated.
However, Xie Huanyue was determined and regained her senses in an instant. She leaped up from the ground like a cannonball, reaching a height of ten meters. In mid-air, she curled up into a real ball of flesh and spun as she hurtled towards Wang Dong'er and the other two.
Despite looking like a meatball chicken, Xie Huanyue's move is the same as Hammond's in Wrecking Ball. Wang Dong'er subconsciously began to micro-manage.
With a flap of her butterfly wings, Wang Dong'er retreated backward, her first soul skill poised to be unleashed.
She, Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao had always been standing in a three-row formation. When Xie Huanyue's attack was aimed at Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao did not stay in place. Instead, they moved to the left and right, their targets being the Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba brothers.
At this moment, Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba had also released their martial spirits. Their arms had transformed into giant mantis blades, and their steps were incredibly light, clearly indicating that they were following an agility-based attack style.
boom--
Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron split into three, then into nine cauldrons, and finally used the Nine Cauldrons Sealing Yuan Formation, completely ignoring Xie Huanyue and heading only towards Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba.
Faced with the impending encirclement by Xiao Xiao's Nine Cauldrons Sealing Formation, the two made a decisive move, using their speed advantage to run to either side, attempting to escape before the nine cauldrons could close in.
On the other side, Wang Dong'er had already unleashed her first soul skill. The edges of her butterfly wings shimmered with brilliant golden light as she ascended to meet the evil Illusion Moon, which had now turned into a ball of flesh.
Despite curling up, Xie Huanyue still seemed to have a way to observe the outside world. As Wang Dong'er approached, his first spirit ring lit up, and he swelled up again, like a balloon.
Wang Dong'er's wing-shaped guillotine should have been able to easily cut through human skin, but Xie Huanyue's thick flesh had many hidden folds. Before the butterfly wings could cut through the skin, they had already clamped down, and even emitted a strange fluctuation that counteracted the sharpness of the wing-shaped guillotine.
Unlike Xu Sanshi, Xie Huanyue's martial soul doesn't have an extremely hard tortoise shell that can withstand sharp weapons; he can only rely on his soul skills or physical strength to withstand attacks.
The proctor did not recognize what kind of martial soul Xie Huanyue was, and therefore did not know the characteristics of Xie Huanyue's martial soul.
He had been on standby to save her at any moment, and only breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Xie Huanyue had successfully stopped Wang Dong'er.
In Wang Dong'er's perception, it was as if she had encountered a non-Newtonian fluid, viscous and difficult to cut.
However, the reason it was difficult to sever was simply because her first soul skill was not sharp or fast enough.
Wang Dong'er abruptly pulled back her butterfly wings, dodged, and Xie Huanyue fell from mid-air.
However, just as Xie Huanyue landed, his swollen body bounced up from the ground like a ball. Then, his third and second spirit rings lit up one after the other, and Xie Huanyue, who was originally some distance away from Wang Dong'er, instantly arrived next to her.
Xie Huanyue suddenly swung out his right arm, stretching it out like a noodle, and lashed out at Wang Dong'er, as if he could catch up with her no matter where she flew.
"It's time to end this." Wang Dong'er blinked, and Xie Huanyue immediately sensed something was wrong. But then a loud thud came from below, and he involuntarily looked down.
Xiao Xiao's second soul ring had already lit up, and the Nine Cauldrons Sealing Yuan Formation was simultaneously undulating while imprisoning Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba.
Beneath the black ripples, Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba's expressions changed, they spat out a mouthful of blood, and were sent flying by the Nine Cauldrons, thrown directly out of the arena.
