Chapter 116 Slaying Meng Hongchen.
At this moment, Wu Xuan slowly opened his eyes. His soul power, after being replenished by the Level 4 healing bottle, had recovered to about 70-80%.
"Junior Brother Wu Xuan, why don't you just admit defeat? I'll go next." Chen Zifeng said seriously, looking at Wu Xuan as he stood up.
Hearing this, Wang Yan and the others nodded in agreement. After all, Meng Hongchen's poison was too incurable; those with soul power lower than hers basically couldn't withstand the corrosive effects of the cold poison.
"Senior Chen, Teacher Wang, have you forgotten the annihilation attribute of my Extreme Wind?" Wu Xuan smiled confidently.
"You mean Meng Hongchen's poison is ineffective against you?" Wang Yan asked excitedly.
"Who knows! My Extreme Wind can even annihilate the air in the area into a vacuum. I don't believe her poisonous mist spreads more powerfully than air."
Wang Yan's expression faltered slightly, then he laughed. "Then, Wu Xuan, it's up to you now."
Wu Xuan smiled confidently and stepped onto the competition stage.
Just as Wu Xuan entered the arena, Meng Hongchen turned to look at her own waiting area. Old Ma from the Sun Moon Team gestured to her. Meng Hongchen's eyes flickered, and she nodded slightly, indicating she understood. A confident smile appeared in her eyes as she looked at Wu Xuan.
Just as Old Ma, the leader of the Sun Moon Team, had predicted, Wu Xuan was indeed the fourth to enter from Shrek Academy.
"Both sides step back," the Heavenly Fiend Douluo repeated habitually.
Wu Xuan narrowed his eyes, his pupils coldly fixed on Meng Hongchen.
Meng Hongchen glared back defiantly.
The match began!
"Third Soul Skill, Jade Wind!"
"Condense!"
A jade-colored breeze gathered, and Wu Xuan lightly clenched his hands, two uniquely shaped longswords resembling spear blades appearing in his hands.
Facing the powerful Wu Xuan, Meng Hongchen finally released her soul tool.
Ice-blue light simultaneously shone from thirteen points on her body. These thirteen positions were the forehead, shoulders, chest, elbows, abdomen, hips, knees, and hands.
Thirteen clusters of icy blue light rapidly transformed, becoming an exquisite icy blue armor protecting Meng Hongchen's entire body.
Although it was full-body armor, it didn't appear bulky or redundant. Every part was exquisitely crafted, adorned with magnificent blue-gold patterns. The already beautiful Meng Hongchen looked even more dashing in this armor.
A pair of icy blue longswords extended from her hands, each three feet long and slender. Behind her, three pairs of wings, each only a foot long, also unfurled simultaneously. Just by wearing this soul-guided armor, she exuded a strong aura of iciness.
"Could this be a level six soul-guided full-body armor?" Huo Yuhao muttered in surprise to himself in the Shrek Academy's waiting area.
Although Wu Xuan was momentarily surprised, his hands didn't pause in their movements.
"Second Soul Skill, Light Breeze!"
A gentle breeze enveloped him, and with the power of a hurricane and a 100% speed boost, Wu Xuan suddenly lunged forward. Meng Hongchen had only just released her Soul Guidance Full Armor when Wu Xuan had already crossed the center of the arena, demonstrating the terrifying speed he possessed.
Just as Wu Xuan was about to close in, a flash of golden light appeared, and Meng Hongchen was already ten meters away, perfectly avoiding the thrust of Wu Xuan's longsword.
A Level 6 Soul Guidance Device, the Teleportation Ring.
Finally, having successfully donned the Soul Guidance Device Full Armor, Meng Hongchen's expression changed. She hadn't expected Wu Xuan to force her to use her trump card, the life-saving Soul Guidance Device, with just a single move.
Without hesitation, Wu Xuan's feet moved rapidly, and he once again pointed his sword at Meng Hongchen.
In a flash, Meng Hongchen's speed increased dramatically, her movements showing no intention of directly clashing with Wu Xuan.
As Meng Hongchen slashed to the side, her two slender swords flashed across the air. Her first Soul Ring also lit up.
Two icy blue streaks of light appeared in mid-air like lightning, crossing to form a cross and slashing towards Wu Xuan. The light blades flew through the air without dissipating, almost like a soul skill. This was precisely the effect of her twin rapier close-combat soul tools.
Facing Meng Hongchen's attack, Wu Xuan's momentum didn't diminish. He swung his longsword in his left hand, releasing the power of a hurricane. A jade-like wind blade flew fiercely from the blade's edge, striking the center of the cross slash.
"Pfft—" The cross slash shattered, but it exploded into a sky full of white mist. Needless to say, this mist was still filled with the deadly poison of the Zhu Qing Ice Toad.
The poison released by the Zhu Qing Ice Toad through a soul skill was naturally far superior to the poison mixed with the rain and air before.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Wu Xuan charged directly into the icy mist. The next moment, an extreme wind howled, and the enveloping icy mist melted away like snow in the blink of an eye.
"What a domineering ultimate wind!" Wang Yan's eyes lit up, and he cheered excitedly.
"How is this possible? My Zhu Qing Ice Toad's deadly poison has disappeared?" Meng Hongchen was filled with doubt and surprise, and her first and second soul rings lit up again.
The icy blue halo of the Ice Poison Ring enveloped the entire area once more, but unfortunately, the ultimate wind howled, and the poisonous mist dissipated again in the next moment, still having no effect on Wu Xuan.
Just as she released these two soul skills, Wu Xuan had already arrived in front of her.
His twin blades flashed, transforming into a sky full of blade light that slashed straight at Meng Hongchen, and the terrifying force caused a series of whooshing sounds to burst in the air.
Although Meng Hongchen did not have time to block, the moment Wu Xuan's blade light fell, the icy blue armor on her body instantly burst out with dazzling light, blocking Wu Xuan's attack.
Although it was only for a moment, Meng Hongchen was able to withstand Wu Xuan's attack head-on thanks to the defensive soul tool and the defense provided by her full-body armor. However, because the effect of the defensive soul tool was automatically triggered, it instantly consumed a lot of Meng Hongchen's soul power.
Watching Meng Hongchen fly backward, Wu Xuan flicked his wrist, a pale green blade flashing past. Two alloy-forged floor tiles on the hard arena shattered almost simultaneously.
Seeing the attack so close, Meng Hongchen's expression changed slightly. Without hesitation, she activated her third soul skill, Ice Refraction.
A mirror of ice crystals over five meters in diameter instantly appeared beneath her feet, and she used Ice Refraction to change her position. Then, with a light touch of her toes, she leaped backward dozens of meters.
A slender sword flashed silver light, and the next moment, a sword shadow thrust forward, aiming straight for Wu Xuan's back.
Wu Xuan raised his left foot, delivering a spinning kick from a distance. A turquoise whirlwind shot out, directly shattering the series of thrusting sword shadows.
The members of the Sun Moon Team would watch every match of Shrek Academy on time.
Given Wu Xuan's absolute dominance from the start, how could Elder Ma of the Sun Moon Team not have carefully studied his abilities?
Through their observation, they had gained a certain understanding of Wu Xuan's soul skills.
Therefore, Meng Hongchen was extremely wary of Wu Xuan's second martial soul's mental attacks and dared not be careless in the slightest.
Ice Refraction, which allows for arbitrary repositioning through the refraction of light and shadow on a mirrored ice plate, is a very useful soul skill in actual combat, but it was completely ineffective against Wu Xuan.
The power of the hurricane erupted again, the intertwined breezes instantly forming a dense net, covering Meng Hongchen like a tidal wave.
Meng Hongchen's embroidered brows furrowed slightly, her reaction speed surprisingly fast. The next moment, the thousands of sword shadows unleashed by her slender sword pierced through Wu Xuan's net almost instantly.
Wu Xuan's lips curled slightly, and with a leap, he charged forward again. This time, Meng Hongchen, who had just unleashed her full power, could no longer dodge.
A long saber thrust forward, and Meng Hongchen, now on the defensive, had no power to defend herself. Wu Xuan's storm-like attacks, even with Meng Hongchen constantly activating the full-body armor of her soul tool, were still unbearable.
The ear-piercing explosions rang out continuously, dazzling the audience below. Compared to the one-sided nature of the previous four matches, this one was undoubtedly much more exciting.
With the continuous activation of her Resilient Wall, protected by golden light, Meng Hongchen felt her soul power draining rapidly.
"Bang!"
Golden light burst forth, and her Resilient Wall collapsed under Wu Xuan's relentless attacks.
A longsword slashed, the terrifying annihilation power at its blade making its might unmatched. It struck the level six soul-guided armor on Meng Hongchen, producing a teeth-grinding sound.
"We surrender! We surrender!!"
The voice of Elder Ma from the Sun and Moon Team suddenly rang out, and the next moment, a beam of starlight descended from the sky, deflecting Wu Xuan's downward strike.
Looking at the starlight protecting Meng Hongchen, Wu Xuan coldly glanced at the disheveled Meng Hongchen without attacking again. With a flick of his wrist, his twin swords vanished into the wind.
"Ugh!" Meng Hongchen spat out a mouthful of blood, her body swaying precariously. She used her rapier to support herself and avoid falling. Her martial spirit retracted, and her long, snow-white hair returned to its wine-red hue, while her blood-red eyes transformed back into their original ice-blue.
Just as Xiao Hongchen had said, Meng Hongchen's martial spirit ability could potentially have unexpected effects. However, under certain circumstances, it could also be severely suppressed.
In that brief moment, dozens of tears had appeared on the level-six soul-guided armor that Meng Hongchen wore. The armor's defensive capabilities were indeed formidable, but Wu Xuan's relentless onslaught was even more terrifying.
Meng Hongchen was still shaken. She could clearly feel how close she had come to death in that short period. The protective barrier around her body had been completely destroyed. The core array of the soul-guided armor was also damaged.
This precious level-six soul-guided armor was on the verge of collapse. The only thing intact was her pair of rapiers.
Despite having an extra soul ring and the amplification of a full set of level-six soul-guided armor, she was still defeated head-on by the person before her.
She knew very well that if they were at the same cultivation level, she probably wouldn't even be qualified to fight Wu Xuan.
Meng Hongchen opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the words wouldn't come out.
Wu Xuan took out a bracelet-shaped level four milk bottle to recover his soul power, and looked at the Sun and Moon Team while saying calmly, "Next!"
The expressions on the faces of the Shrek Academy students were numb. They had thought that Wu Xuan would win, but no one expected him to win so easily.
On the Sun and Moon Team's side, after Elder Ma and Xiao Hongchen confirmed that Meng Hongchen had only suffered some minor internal injuries, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Hongchen looked at Wu Xuan on the competition stage with a solemn expression.
"It's my turn to go on stage."
Looking at Xiao Hongchen walking onto the stage, Elder Ma seemed to have thought of something and suddenly reminded her.
"If I'm not mistaken, Wu Xuan's large-scale condensed wind relies on the forced pulling of his own soul power. He can't last long, Xiao, this may be your only chance."
Xiao Hongchen's steps paused slightly, and then she stepped onto the competition stage with firm steps.
