The Spirit King on the front-right was still acting as if he had gone mad, frantically slapping at imaginary spiders. Meanwhile, the attacks from the remaining two Spirit Kings were about to hit their mark.
Ye Yin's figure retreated rapidly as he activated his Second Spirit Ability: Soul Skill Curse!
Target: The Third Spirit Ability of the Spirit King directly in front, Mammoth Crash!
Effect: Intensity increased by one hundred percent!
Side effect: Unable to charge forward.
The Spirit King's violent charge, which had been aimed straight at Ye Yin, suddenly swerved uncontrollably. He careened sideways like an out-of-control tank, rumbling directly toward his companion who was still hallucinating.
"Bang!"
"Ouch!"
The two massive men crashed into each other, collapsing to the ground with cries of pain.
The fist of the last Spirit King had already reached Ye Yin's face. It seemed he had nowhere left to dodge. But just then, a smirk appeared on his lips. You may be a Spirit King, but my overall attributes are already at the level of a Spirit Saint. Did you really think a support-type Soul Master has no fighting power?
Ye Yin threw his right fist forward.
"Bang!"
With a single punch, the Spirit King was sent flying backward like a cannonball. He crashed heavily into the crowd of his allies, severely injured.
In the blink of an eye, without even moving much, Ye Yin had easily dealt with the encirclement of four Spirit Kings. One was blinded, one was lost in an illusion, one's spirit ability had malfunctioned, and the last was taken out by a single punch. This scene not only left the members of the Elephant Armored Academy dumbfounded but also stunned Dai Mubai and the others. Was his combat power really that fierce?
Ye Yin's gaze calmly swept across the battlefield as he began to use the Weakness Detection ability of his new head Spirit Bone.
"Mubai, third one on the left, he has an old knee injury!"
"Zhuqing, front-right, his weak point is three inches below the armpit!"
"Little San, use your ground vines as tripwires!"
His voice delivered precise commands, instantly pointing out subtle flaws in the enemy's formation and the hidden weaknesses of certain disciples. Hearing his call, Dai Mubai sharply turned. His tiger claws, empowered by Ning Rongrong's strength boost, fiercely raked across the left knee of the disciple Ye Yin had indicated.
"Crack!"
A crisp snap echoed through the air, followed by a scream. The disciple's knee twisted at an unnatural angle, and he collapsed to the ground.
Zhu Zhuqing's figure flashed like lightning. As another disciple raised his arm to attack, her cat claws precisely pierced the vulnerable spot under his armpit. Blood splattered, and the man cried out in pain, leaving a huge gap in his defense.
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass instantly changed tactics. No longer trying to bind them, he made the grass grow rapidly along the ground like countless tripwires. While it couldn't completely trip the giants, it successfully disrupted their charging rhythm.
The members of Shrek were invigorated. Under Ye Yin's battlefield command and Ning Rongrong's powerful support, they actually managed to withstand the assault of dozens of elites and even began to counterattack. One by one, disciples from the Elephant Armored Academy were injured as their weak points were exploited.
Just then, Ye Yin took out another special item. "Bursting stinky tofu!" he announced with a sinister grin. "Everyone, step back and open your mouths!"
His friends didn't question it and subconsciously retreated. Ye Yin swiftly threw a piece of the tofu into each of their mouths. It exploded with an incredibly delicious flavor, but now was not the time to savor it. With several more pieces in his hands, Ye Yin began launching them into the crowd of enemy disciples.
"You really think the competition rules were protecting me?" he called out. "Actually, they were protecting you."
As the tofu exploded among them, the Elephant Armored Academy members instantly went berserk and began to attack each other wildly.
[Resentment from Hu Yanli +50!]
[Resentment from Hu Yan Yi +30!]
[Resentment from Hu Yan Er +30!]
…
Hu Yanzhen, the Sect Master who was secretly watching the battle, grew increasingly displeased. He hadn't expected this group of youngsters to be so troublesome, especially that Ye Yin, whose abilities were simply vicious. He could no longer sit still.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings! I still have to handle this myself!" he grumbled. He hadn't wanted to intervene personally. Bullying the younger generation in front of his own disciples was a bad look, but he hadn't expected that he would have to.
Boom!
The terrifying pressure of a Spirit Douluo erupted completely. Hu Yanzhen descended from the sky like a meteor, his enormous diamond fist locking onto Ye Yin, vowing to kill him with a single blow. It seemed Ye Yin was about to be killed instantly.
But at that critical moment, a cold, hoarse voice that seemed to come from the underworld echoed through the valley. "Hmph! Hu Yanzhen, you old turtle are getting more and more shameless! To use such a deadly move on a junior!"
A jade-green figure appeared in front of Ye Yin as if by teleportation. A withered palm casually slapped forward, meeting Hu Yanzhen's diamond fist that was capable of splitting mountains.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only an extremely muffled thud.
Hu Yanzhen's massive charging body froze in mid-air as if he had hit an immovable mountain. The ferocious expression on his face was instantly replaced by shock and disbelief. A chilling, corrosive, and terrifying power surged through his arm and into his body.
Crack, crack, crack!
A grinding sound came from Hu Yanzhen's fist as the hard diamond cuticle shattered inch by inch like fragile glass.
"Pfft—!"
Hu Yanzhen spat out a mouthful of strangely green blood, and his body was sent flying backward like a broken kite. He crashed heavily into the mountain wall, embedding himself in a large, man-shaped crater. He struggled to get up but found his spirit power completely stagnant. A terrifying venom was frantically corroding his meridians and organs, and his face was instantly covered with a green mist.
"Du… Dugu Bo!" Hu Yanzhen stared at the green-robed figure standing before Ye Yin, his eyes filled with despair and terror. "You… how could you be…"
At that moment, all fighting on the battlefield stopped abruptly. The Elephant Armored Academy disciples looked at their Sect Master, who in their eyes was invincible, now severely injured by a single move. Every one of them turned pale and began to tremble.
Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, his jade-green eyes filled with killing intent. "And why can't I be here? Hu Yanzhen, you have quite the nerve, daring to touch someone I'm protecting. Are you tired of living?"
Hu Yanli was scared out of his wits. He scrambled over to his grandfather's side. "Grandpa!"
Dugu Bo glanced coldly at the defeated Hu Yanzhen slumped in the mountain wall, then looked at the terrified disciples. His voice was like ice.
