"Let both teams' members take the stage!"
"Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, Mi Jia, Lin Xi, Xiao Xiafeng, Su Ming, Zhang Wei. The seven of you will take the stage again."
Fast Push Strategy.
On the opposite side, seeing Su Ming take the stage, Ye Wuqing's expression turned exceptionally grave.
So far, they had not found an effective means to counter Su Ming's Star Tree Giant.
Logically, tree creatures fear fire the most, but Su Ming's tree creature was a Star Tree, flowing with stellar radiance and an energy entity condensed from Spirit Power, making it less afraid of fire.
Zhengtian Academy only had three Spirit Kings; Ye Wuqing was the strongest, and the remaining two were Yu Mengdi and Tang Xiaolei. Among them, Yu Mengdi's Martial Soul was an Angel, and Tang Xiaolei's Martial Soul was a type of Purple Brilliance Bow.
"Match begin!"
After both sides took the stage, they simultaneously released their Spirit Rings.
Su Ming's three Spirit Rings, Yellow, Purple, and Black, possessed a powerful impact.
Within Zhengtian Academy, only two people possessed ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings: one was Yu Mengdi with the Angel Martial Soul, and the other was Ye Wuqing.
"Star Tree!"
Above Su Ming's head, the phantom of the Star Tree rapidly solidified, transforming into a giant Star Tree that enveloped him.
"As expected. We can only give it a shot. Yu Mengdi, it's up to you!"
Feeling the oppressive force of the Star Tree, Ye Wuqing gritted his teeth and said to Yu Mengdi beside him.
"I'll try!"
Behind Yu Mengdi, a pair of holy wings appeared. A sacred sword appeared in each of her hands, and her whole body emitted flames possessing a sacred aura.
Her five Spirit Rings shone simultaneously.
The sacred flames enveloped her entire person, setting her off like a celestial deity.
The sacred swords in her hands gathered the Sacred Flame, suddenly slashing out two sword beams condensed from sacred fire.
Sacred Cross Slash!
Seeing this, Su Ming simply waved the palm of the Star Tree Giant. Some of its branches shot out and blocked the Sacred Cross Slash.
Starlight flowed; the sacred flames could not get close.
"Indeed, his tree isn't afraid of fire."
Ye Wuqing analyzed calmly and looked at another teammate.
"Shangguan Can, try a mental attack."
Shangguan Can nodded. A bell appeared in his hand; this was the Soul-Shaking Bell.
As he shook the bell in his hand, an invisible shockwave struck the Star Tree Giant.
The next moment, Shangguan Can grunted, his face instantly turning pale.
"His mental power is so strong."
Mental attacks don't work either?
At this moment, far too many forces were paying attention to the situation on the field.
Among them, Shrek was particularly concerned about this match.
Because the oppressive force brought by Su Ming's Star Tree Giant was too strong. Naturally, it would be good to find more weaknesses of the Star Tree Giant.
However, today's match proved the true quality of Su Ming's Star Tree Giant.
Impeccable.
Neither fire nor mental attacks were effective.
"He's actually so versatile."
Su Ming didn't give Zhengtian Academy any more chances. Waving his arm, he began the cleanup.
Seeing this, Ye Wuqing gritted his teeth and successively summoned over a dozen golden leaves. He threw these golden leaves out; the leaves drifted unpredictably and, after landing on the ground, transformed into reddish-golden rays that shot towards the Star Tree Giant.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions sounded.
Gaps appeared in the trunk area of the Star Tree Giant, but these gaps were quickly repaired.
Ye Wuqing's eyes lit up slightly.
Sure enough, violent destruction was feasible.
His dozen or so leaves just now had blasted gaps in the Star Tree's trunk; combined, they could blast out half the trunk's volume.
If he had twice as many...
Boom!
A giant palm descended, shaking the arena. The entire square's ground seemed to tremble along with it.
Su Ming frowned.
He raised his palm and saw several Invincible Protection Barriers.
"Those are my Invincible Protection Barriers." Xiao Hongchen said through gritted teeth.
These were the Invincible Protection Barriers he traded to the Star Light Auction House yesterday to gather Gold Spirit Coins. He didn't expect them to end up in the opponent's hands today.
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Fluttering All Over the Sky!"
Ye Wuqing raised both hands at this moment. A whirlwind rose around his body, and countless golden leaves appeared, falling everywhere before transforming into numerous reddish-golden rays charging towards the Star Tree.
These reddish-golden rays exploded at various positions on the Star Tree Giant—some on the trunk area, some on the arms.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each explosion caused a huge gap to appear in the Star Tree Giant's body.
Finally, the Star Tree collapsed.
Witnessing this, countless people cheered excitedly.
Victory!
The Star Tree Giant has fallen.
At this moment, Ye Wuqing felt a sense of accomplishment, as if he had just defeated a boss.
Light flashed in his hand, and two Milk Bottles appeared. Without wasting any time, he immediately began absorbing the Spirit Power from the Milk Bottles.
This bombardment had almost consumed eighty percent of his Spirit Power.
As the Star Tree Giant disintegrated, a spiritual entity finally revealed its form—it was the Star Tree Spirit Soul.
"It really is a Spirit Soul!"
In Shrek's preparation area, Wang Yan excitedly clenched his fist.
"Just as I guessed! Spirit Souls can indeed assist Spirit Masters in battle, and they are very powerful!"
Wang Yan was excited, but Huo Yuhao fell silent at this moment.
If it really was a Spirit Soul, then what Tianmeng told him before was about to come true.
To unleash such power from a Spirit Soul that only occupies a portion of the characteristics within Spirit Power... Su Ming's full strength...
"Su Ming, shall we handle it, or will you?"
Xiao Hongchen tilted his head and asked.
To be honest, Su Ming's Star Tree Giant had always been the boss of the Sun Moon Imperial Team. During their practice matches at the academy, they always treated Su Ming as the boss to defeat.
Today, Su Ming's Star Tree Giant was shattered. Su Ming should bring out even stronger methods.
Elder Ma stood up.
He was also curious about more of Su Ming's trump cards.
Before this match, he had specifically instructed the other six to let Su Ming make a move as much as possible in this match.
As the team leader, if his grasp of the team members' abilities wasn't comprehensive enough, it would be very difficult to arrange the lineup and strategy.
But no matter how he asked, Su Ming only said he was very strong and not to worry.
How was Elder Ma supposed to judge based on that?
He could only resort to this last resort.
"Su Ming, let me see what you mean by 'very strong'."
On the arena.
Su Ming's expression remained normal.
"Why bother?"
He looked at Ye Wuqing, who had exhausted his Spirit Power to destroy his Star Tree Giant, and spoke somewhat helplessly.
When you exhaust all your effort to defeat the shell restraining me, you will discover that I, freed from the restraint of a bulky form, am even more terrifying.
The Star Tree Spirit Soul drilled into Su Ming's body.
The starlight left after the Star Tree's disintegration then transformed into a vortex, sucked into Su Ming's body.
This scene caused the Titled Douluo present to subtly change their expressions.
"Could this be a Spirit Core? Impossible!" Yan Shaozhe said unbelievable.
Su Ming stepped forward.
In the blink of an eye, the starlight was devoured into his body. Subsequently, his aura surged, and his Spirit Power seemed to become engorged.
A heart-palpitating wave emanated from within him.
Ye Wuqing, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, now felt as if he had fallen into an abyss.
Because Su Ming, with all his Spirit Power concentrated within his body, felt even more oppressive!
Su Ming took ten steps, stopping at a position twenty meters away from Ye Wuqing. His body turned slightly, his right fist clenched.
Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light, Dark—the six elemental Spirit Powers gathered on his fist.
"Supreme Shockwave Fist!"
