Chapter 60 The Threads of Spiritual Connection.
Just as Kong Ling's Sun God Light was about to strike Lü Hanwen's waist and abdomen, his body seemed to suddenly accelerate, just managing to dodge Kong Ling's attack.
Kong Ling quickly realized what was going on. This was definitely not something that Lü Hanwen could have done in a hurry, but rather the work of Shui Ling, the "mastermind" behind the scenes!
Kong Ling's attack missed, while Lü Hanwen had already arrived in front of Xu Tianyi.
A defensive soul tool blocked Lu Hanwen's lion claw, and the referee in mid-air made his move.
Then a rope-like soul tool descended from the sky, wrapped around Xu Tianyi's waist, and took him away from the Soul Arena.
When Xu Tianyi regained consciousness, he saw that he was being hung in mid-air by the referee.
He clearly understood that he had been eliminated. He clenched his fists and stared intently at the arena below. He hadn't expected to be the first to be eliminated.
Everything was proceeding according to plan, except that they did not expect that Anle's first soul skill of the Prayer Angel Martial Soul could eliminate the scorching damage of the Fiery Sun Cage.
Now it can only be said that one wrong step leads to another, and the situation on the battlefield has changed. The scales of victory seem to have begun to tip in favor of the Water Spirit Team.
On the other side, Xu Wei was using his speed advantage to launch continuous attacks on An Le, but Shui Ling seemed to have a god's-eye view, knowing exactly what Xu Wei was doing. She could always control An Le to dodge the attack the moment Xu Wei launched it.
Therefore, many people in the audience of the Soul Arena are now somewhat confused about this match.
How come Anle, a support-type Soul Master, moves so quickly?
It's like they've maxed out their dodge skills!
Despite the fact that the threads were no longer visible due to Shui Ling's frequent manipulations, many people had already noticed some clues and realized that she had played a decisive role in the operation.
Ren Jun's expression was serious, and his eyes showed surprise as he said, "Although I don't know what Shui Ling's martial soul is, it is undoubtedly an extremely powerful control-type martial soul."
"Moreover, she's only at the second ring, yet she's grasped the true essence of a control-type Soul Master and can control the entire scene. She's truly a prodigy!"
Ren Jun spared no praise; this was only the second time he had given such an evaluation of a student, aside from Kong Xuan.
However, Shui Ling definitely deserves such praise. In Kong Xuan's view, although Shui Ling was just standing in place, the threads that spread out from her hands had already spread throughout the entire Soul Arena.
Anle and Lü Hanwen each had a silk thread wrapped around their limbs, and many of their movements were controlled by Shui Ling.
Otherwise, Anle would have been eliminated by Xu Wei long ago.
Kong Xuan smiled faintly: "With the strength that Shui Ling has shown, there will be absolutely no problem for her to enter the Soul Master Experimental Class. From now on, she will also be my student!"
Ren Jun raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, that's true. It's a rare opportunity for a teacher to be able to teach such talented students as you."
No matter what world you're in, teachers will instinctively favor students with high talent.
Kong Xuan did not reply this time; his gaze remained fixed on the arena.
He noticed a thread extending from Shui Ling's hand, which was now wrapped around Kong Ling's body.
In his eyes, it was like a fresh blood vessel, with blood flowing continuously within it.
But in reality, it is soul power that is being transmitted through this thread, and Shui Ling has already begun to steal the soul power from Kong Ling.
Judging from the appearance, the theft was not very significant, probably because they were afraid of being discovered by Kong Ling.
Kong Xuan looked at his younger sister in the arena and couldn't help but feel worried for her.
If this drags on any longer, we might really lose, since Shui Ling hasn't even used her second soul skill yet.
A series of attacks missed their target. Especially after seeing that Xu Tianyi had been eliminated by the opponent, Xu Wei quickly used Lightning Flash and returned to Kong Ling's side from the enemy's encirclement in an instant.
"Sister Ling, what do we do now?"
Xu Wei sounded anxious; the situation was really not in their favor!
Kong Ling remained calm, as if the situation was still under his control.
She slowly said, "Step back."
"Um?"
Xu Wei thought he had misheard, but the two were not far apart, and he was certain that Kong Ling had just told him to step back.
Just as Xu Wei was filled with questions, Kong Ling said again, "Go back to the back, and leave the rest to me!"
Xu Wei opened his mouth, but many words remained unspoken.
Looking at Kong Ling's slender back, yet she strides forward with firm steps.
Trust in his teammates led Xu Wei to make the final decision, and he activated his first soul skill, Thunder Flash, once again.
Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Xu Wei did not charge towards his opponent this time, but rather in the opposite direction.
A bolt of lightning streaked across the Soul Arena, and when Xu Wei reappeared, he was already at the very edge of the arena.
On the other side, Shui Ling and the others did not attack Kong Ling, but watched her walk forward step by step.
Although Kong Ling's soul skills were already out in the open, her current behavior still made them somewhat uneasy.
It seems that Kong Ling is one of the few who can turn the tide in this situation.
Shui Ling and her group seemed to be responding to all changes by remaining unchanged, but in reality, they were just stalling for time and waiting for an opportunity.
For Shui Ling's second soul skill to be activated, one condition must be met: the opponent's soul power must be 50% lower than hers.
"Hmph! If I let you continue to drain my soul power like this, the outcome of this match will be a foregone conclusion."
Kong Ling's voice carried a hint of stubbornness and anger as she looked at Shui Ling across from her.
Upon hearing this, Shui Ling, who had been expressionless, couldn't help but feel a jolt in her heart, and her eyes lost their placid calm.
Her martial soul is called the Spirit Thread, and unless you are a Title Douluo with strong mental power, no one else can detect it.
Her ability to absorb the soul power of others comes from her first soul skill, Entangling Silk and Bone, which allows her to absorb soul power by ignoring 50% of the opponent's defense through the use of spiritual threads.
Her second soul skill is called Puppet Master, which allows her to use spiritual threads to penetrate the enemy's body. When her soul power is 50% higher than the enemy's, she can directly control the enemy's behavior, just like controlling a puppet.
She was very careful when absorbing Kong Ling's soul power, doing it little by little, afraid that the other party would notice.
But to his surprise, he had only just begun when Kong Ling exposed his mistake.
This surprised Shui Ling greatly, as if the other party already knew about her martial soul and soul skills.
Kong Ling was unaware of the specific details, but thanks to her brother's reminder yesterday, she had been paying close attention to the state of her soul power.
Although very little soul power was lost, Kong Ling still noticed it.
It was at this moment that she told Xu Wei to step back, realizing that she couldn't wait any longer.
Shui Ling frowned slightly, her slender eyebrows furrowing slightly, and spoke for the first time during the battle: "Do you think you can still win?"
Kong Ling chuckled lightly: "Why not?"
Kong Ling stretched out her left hand, and the small orange-red sun that had been hanging above her head slowly descended to the air above her left hand.
Then she extended her right hand.
With a flash of cool light, a silver-white sphere appeared in her right hand!
At that moment, Kong Xuan, who was in the audience, turned his head to look at his homeroom teacher, Ren Jun, next to him.
His eyes widened, his pupils contracted slightly, and his mouth gaped open, looking utterly shocked.
Then, a stammering voice came from his mouth: "It's... twin... martial souls?!"
