On the stage.
The three people who had jointly attacked Ye Lingling earlier were even more shocked.
Holy cow.
They had been fighting for a long time.
Yet, their opponent turned out to be a Support-type Soul Master.
Although she was a Spirit Emperor.
It was well known that Support-type Soul Masters were merely ornamental in combat.
They had no fighting strength whatsoever.
But Ye Lingling, standing before them, was completely different from traditional Support-type Soul Masters.
She was extremely bizarre.
Even without activating her Martial Soul.
The three of them together couldn't take her down.
"Ying Wei, Li Yang, Tang Hongning, are the three of you just lying there playing dead?"
"Forget about Ye Lingling, come over immediately and pin down Jin Mian."
"Dong Hui, Yang Mingxin, the two of you fully buff Zhu Zhuqing and me!"
Dai Weisi issued the command, his voice booming like a great bell.
The two Support-type Soul Masters of the Star Luo Royal Team, Dong Hui and Yang Mingxin, heard this.
They formed hand seals and muttered incantations.
Both of their Martial Souls belonged to the same type—Supreme Goodness is Like Water!
This Martial Soul could provide teammates with dual bonuses to speed and defense, while also weakening the enemy's offensive power.
A soft light emanated from their hands.
It wrapped around Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuqing like gurgling tides.
Dai Weisi, whose stats had been amplified, regained his arrogance and twisted his neck a few times.
He arrogantly pointed at Jin Mian and said, "I was careless just now and you managed a sneak attack, but things won't be so easy next time."
"Let me show you our trump card!"
"Zhu Zhuqing!"
"Alright!"
After Zhu Zhuqing responded.
spirit power surged from their bodies, gradually reaching a delicate balance.
They then embraced tightly.
The two Martial Souls, Evil Eyes White Tiger and Hell Civet, gradually fused together.
After defeating the three charging individuals with a few punches and kicks.
Jin Mian turned his head, watching the technique the two were performing.
He finally showed a slight interest: "A Martial Soul Fusion Skill from the Star Luo Imperial Family? Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Let me see how powerful your Hell White Tiger can be."
In an instant.
Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuqing turned into a halo of light and vanished from the spot.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Hell White Tiger!"
Closely following was a tiger roar! It quickly spread outward.
A massive white tiger, transparent throughout, with white fur, black stripes, and dual-pupiled eyes, appeared on the stage.
Jin Mian scrutinized it.
Although this Hell White Tiger looked quite impressive.
Its actual strength was likely at the peak of the Spirit King level, or at most, just stepping into the Spirit Emperor rank.
It couldn't be any higher.
This level of strength was child's play to him.
Seemingly sensing Jin Mian's contempt.
The Hell White Tiger breathed out a puff of air, pushed off with all four paws, and charged straight toward Jin Mian's location.
Jin Mian watched the rapidly approaching Hell White Tiger.
He stood still, not moving from his spot.
Nor did he summon his Martial Soul.
He slowly raised his right fist, mobilizing the rich spirit power within his body.
Golden light shone from his fist.
The moment the Hell White Tiger drew near, he leaped into the air.
He delivered a Golden Fist, smashing heavily onto the massive tiger's head.
Dong!!!
The huge sound was like a heavy hammer striking a giant drum.
Producing a deafening noise.
The stage seemed to tremble slightly from the impact.
The entire body of the Hell White Tiger was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.
It crashed heavily onto the ground.
Boom!
Dust flew everywhere.
When the dust cleared.
They saw that the specially reinforced stage had a huge pit smashed into it.
Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuqing lay unconscious in the pit.
Both of their faces were pale, and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths.
They had clearly suffered a significant shock.
"Cap... Captain, Sister Zhuqing." x2
Seeing their Captain and Vice-Captain lying miserably on the ground.
As the only two remaining standing members of the Star Luo Royal Team on the stage.
Dong Hui and Yang Mingxin didn't know what to do.
Being Support-type Soul Masters themselves, they did not possess the terrifying combat strength of Ye Lingling.
Just then.
Ye Lingling silently appeared behind the two of them.
One hand chop for each person.
And ended the battle.
Salas immediately announced, "The Hall of Worship Team wins the first round of the Quarterfinals!"
The moment the match ended.
The Star Luo Team's Leading Teacher rushed onto the stage at the fastest possible speed.
He checked Dai Weisi's condition.
Because this was their Empire's First Prince, the most popular contender for the throne.
If anything were to happen to him.
He would definitely face severe punishment upon returning.
After checking Dai Weisi's condition.
The Leading Teacher discovered that Dai Weisi had multiple bone fractures.
Especially his head, which had suffered the most severe damage.
Cracks had even appeared in his mental force Sea of Consciousness.
Normally.
Most Soul Masters might not actually care much about mental force.
Nor would they specifically cultivate mental force.
But in fact, mental force is extremely important for Soul Masters.
Once the mental force Sea of Consciousness is destroyed, or suffers irreparable damage.
Then that person will never wake up again.
It's no different from being dead.
Realizing this.
The Leading Teacher immediately became furious and shouted at the Organizing Committee above: "I protest! The Hall of Worship Team is not competing; they are committing murder!"
"Guards! Immediately seize this Jin Mian and this Ye Lingling!"
"Take them back for severe punishment!"
The Leading Teacher, whose head was spinning.
Did not realize at all that this was not the Star Luo Empire.
But Spirit City.
Spirit City has Spirit City's rules.
No matter who you are, what your status is, or how noble your status is in other countries.
As long as you are in Spirit City, you must abide by Spirit City's rules.
As his voice fell.
Several guards wearing white hoods emerged from the audience.
They swiftly rushed toward Jin Mian.
Seeing this, Salas was about to shout the word 'Audacious.'
Who would have thought.
Before he could speak.
An invisible spirit power spread downwards.
The next second.
They saw those Star Luo Imperial Guards, like firecrackers.
"Crackling and popping" exploded into a mist of blood.
This terrified the Star Luo Leading Teacher, who looked horrified.
Immediately afterward, an invisible pressure pressed him onto the ground.
Preventing him from getting up for a long time.
"How dare you break the rules right under my nose?"
"What? Does your Star Luo Empire want to test if this old man's sword is sharp?"
As Qian Daoliu's voice rang out.
The Star Luo Leading Teacher finally remembered.
Currently.
They were not in the Star Luo Empire.
But in Spirit City.
He had actually tried to arrest Spirit Hall personnel right in front of the Supreme Pontiff and the High Priest.
What the heck was the difference between this and peeing on a tiger?
Thinking this, he quickly pleaded for mercy: "I was just anxious for a moment and forgot the rules of Spirit City. Please, High Priest, calm your anger."
"Hmph!"
"Listen up, everyone. No matter who you are, if you want to compete, compete properly."
"Anyone who dares to flout the laws and regulations of Spirit City, don't blame this old man for being impolite!"
"As for you, considering this your first offense, I will spare you this time. If you offend again, this old man will grind your bones to dust!"
"My temper is not good."
After speaking the last sentence.
Qian Daoliu withdrew his pressure.
The Star Luo Leading Teacher felt as if he had received a great pardon and shakily stood up from the ground.
But he still said worriedly, "But High Priest, our Prince..."
"Your First Prince is fine. Just take him back and let him recuperate for a few days," Qian Daoliu said impatiently.
The Star Luo Leading Teacher did not dare to refute him.
After all, this was the legendary High Priest of Spirit City.
Could his words possibly be false?
He immediately ordered his subordinates to take the seven members of the Star Luo Team off the stage.
