----------------------
At this moment, both sides on the arena moved simultaneously.
Hu Liena raised her hands, and the crescent blades hovering on either side of her began to spin rapidly. They were soon enveloped in purple flames, distorting the air around them. With a flick of her wrists, the two flaming blades transformed into hundreds of fiery slashes, hurtling toward Tang San and his team.
Yao Mei – Purple Flame Barrage!
Tang San let out a low growl, manipulating the Hao Tian Hammer True Body with his right hand. He swung the massive Hao Tian Hammer toward Hu Liena and her companions.
The Hao Tian Hammer was an exceptional forging tool; ordinary flames couldn't possibly destroy it.
In an instant, Hu Liena's attack was deflected.
However, though Tang San's Hao Tian Hammer was formidable, his current overall cultivation level was akin to forcing a small horse to pull a heavy cart. He couldn't control the Hao Tian Hammer True Body with perfect precision. On the other hand, Hu Liena's Spirit Fusion Technique had genuinely elevated her cultivation to the Soul Sage level.
At this moment, Hu Liena tapped her feet lightly, transforming into a streak of afterimages that evaded Tang San's lethal strike.
Just then, Hu Liena smirked devilishly.
Seeing Hu Liena's smirk, the members of Shrek Academy felt a sense of foreboding.
At this moment, the previously dispersed purple flames, unnoticed by Shrek's team, suddenly detonated in a series of violent explosions upon hitting the ground.
Though these scattered flames seemed unimpressive, they were genuine Soul Sage-level techniques. Now erupting, even Ma Hongjun was overwhelmed, blasted several meters away.
However, amidst his teammates' cries of pain, Tang San remained unfazed.
With a sinister smile, Tang San revealed his countermove. Only then did Hu Liena notice screams coming from behind her—her own two defensive soul masters had been struck by Tang San's hammer, which hadn't hit her!
Hu Liena frowned impatiently, muttering inwardly, 'These fools are useless. Can't they even dodge such a simple attack?'
But Hu Liena was truly being unfair to those two auxiliary soul masters. She had dodged so effortlessly because her overall combat power had reached the Soul Sage level. However, they were slow-moving defensive soul masters, and dodging a mountain-sized Hao Tian Hammer hurtling toward them was practically impossible.
Still, turnabout was fair play!
A flash of purple light gleamed in Hu Liena's eyes as she instantly darted like a ghost toward the other members of Shrek Academy.
Though Tang San had suffered a crushing defeat yesterday, his displayed combat prowess was undeniably extraordinary. Thus, Hu Liena decided to first cripple Tang San's support before dealing with him.
The Hao Tian Hammer True Body only increased Tang San's soul power cultivation—it didn't enhance his overall abilities. Faced with Hu Liena's ghost-like movements, Tang San could do nothing but shout:
"Oscar, Ning Yuan, quickly ascend!"
At this moment, Tang San's primary concern was for the two auxiliary soul masters who could boost his combat strength. As for the others, their average strength was at the Soul Ancestor level, and against Hu Liena, whose cultivation had reached the Soul Sage level, they were nothing more than dead weight. If they were defeated, so be it.
Moreover, if Hu Liena could bully the weak, Tang San naturally could lower himself to deal with the two auxiliary soul masters now. This was called repaying someone in kind!
Hu Liena naturally noticed Tang San's subtle maneuver. She instructed her team's two auxiliary soul masters: "Xiao Jing! Xiao Yu! Amplify my stats and then retreat immediately!"
The two auxiliary soul masters of the Spirit Hall Team nodded instantly. Their Jade Ruyi scepter and light-mirror glowed in harmony, granting Hu Liena nearly 100% boosts across all attributes.
In an instant, Hu Liena's presence surged even further, elevating her from an early-stage Soul Sage to a high-stage one.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Dai Mubai and the others were knocked off the stage, disqualified from the match. Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall Team also lost all members except for Hu Liena and her two companions.
Now, the battle had come down to a 3v3.
Hu Liena had no intention of giving Tang San any chance to strengthen further. She waved her flaming blades, transforming them into thousands of fiery slashes that surged toward Tang San and his team.
Watching this overwhelming attack, Hu Liena sneered, "Your Hao Tian Hammer True Body is strong, but as long as I don't engage you head-on, how will you handle my overwhelming barrage?"
As Hu Liena had anticipated, Tang San was indeed caught in a bind. Though he had learned beforehand that the Spirit Hall Team possessed Spirit Fusion Techniques, due to Ye Wen's overwhelming dominance, the Spirit Hall Team hadn't had the opportunity to use them. Tang San had no detailed intelligence on their fusion techniques until now, and facing them directly made him realize just how troublesome it was to deal with the combined force of three Soul Kings using a Spirit Fusion Technique.
Nevertheless, Tang San decided to endure this wave of attacks. He summoned the Hao Tian Hammer back and began swinging it while shouting to the two behind him:
"Ning Yuan, amplify my stats! Oscar, use your third soul skill to evade. I plan to go all out and take them down with me. Stay on the stage as long as possible, just like during the Suotuo City duel!"
Tang San's judgment was agreed upon by Oscar and Ning Yuan, who promptly activated their soul skills.
Four consecutive glows lit up around Tang San, amplifying his strength, speed, defense, and soul power attributes by 50%. Though still inferior to the opponent, Tang San's momentum surged significantly.
After completing this, Ning Yuan hid directly behind Tang San. There was no way for him to escape now, as the opponent's attacks were far too dense.
Meanwhile, Oscar consumed a Twin-Flying Mushroom and soared into the sky, reaching nearly 30 meters above the stage. From this height, he believed the Spirit Hall Team wouldn't be able to reach him.
However, Hu Liena and her companions temporarily ignored Oscar. If he wanted to hide, so be it. Their immediate priority was to crush Tang San. Once Tang San was dealt with, they could easily dispose of the remaining auxiliary soul master.
At this point, even Hu Liena and her companions had to admit that Tang San would likely overpower any single one of them individually.
But Hu Liena soon smiled confidently, for they weren't fighting alone—they were fighting as a team!
Overwhelmed by her newfound power, Hu Liena merged the twin crescent blades orbiting her into a single massive curved blade. She pressed her hands against either side of the enormous blade.
Instantly, the purple flames deepened, even taking on a black hue.
Hu Liena leaped high into the air, raising the massive purplish-black flaming blade above her head and behind her back, forming a perfect arc resembling a full moon against her graceful figure.
Yao Mei – Moon of Perdition!!!
With a fierce roar in her heart, Hu Liena hurled this devastating attack straight toward Tang San.
