—------------------—
It was the first time that Tang Xiaolei encountered a master of the same generation who caught an arrow with his bare hands, and his heart was shocked.
"He caught my arrow without using any martial soul skills or soul guides. Only teachers above Soul Sage level in the academy can do that. How could he do that?"
"Aren't all the soul guides in the Sun-Moon Empire weaklings with low physical fitness? How could there be such a strong man? Did he use a soul guide that I can't see?"
Seeing that the other party did not make a move, Xu Tianxi raised his eyes and said calmly: "You can choose not to make a move, but if that happens, I will have to send you off immediately. In that case, your coming on stage will be meaningless; or... you don't dare to make a move?"
"Don't look down on me. I will show you my strength!"
All the contestants have pride in their hearts. Tang Xiaolei is confident that he can shoot arrows even when facing the masters of Shrek Academy. He simply cannot tolerate Xu Tianxi's provocation.
"If a hundred-year spirit ring is not enough, then a thousand years will do. I don't believe you can keep blocking it!"
Tang Xiaolei drew his bow and arrow for the second time, and the thousand-year-old third ring on his body suddenly disappeared and turned into purple light that shot out.
In the rest area, Xiao Hongchen yawned and said, "It seems that this guy's martial spirit has aroused Old Xu's interest, otherwise Old Xu would not have played with him for so long."
Ma Rulong looked very comfortable, playing cards with his teammates, and casually said, "How long do you think it will take him to defeat all seven opponents?"
"How would I know? It depends on his mood." Xiao Hongchen grabbed a glass of juice and took a few sips, looking relaxed and casual.
"I have to say that Tang Xiaolei's martial spirit's attack power is quite strong, surpassing many level five spirit masters. Does Old Xu have any new ideas?"
Just as Xiao Hongchen was thinking, Tang Xiaolei's second arrow had already flew within three feet of Xu Tianxi. A moon shadow appeared between Xu Tianxi's eyebrows, emitting a silver light that shattered the arrow.
"You have one last chance to make a move."
After dispelling Tang Xiaolei's second arrow, Xu Tianxi saw more things from it, and his calm voice spread across the competition stage, as if announcing the opponent's result.
The second time he merged with the Gold of Life, the Eye of Life between Xu Tianxi's eyebrows was transformed twice by Alex; deep meditation allowed his mental power and soul power to merge more deeply, and he was able to mobilize the power of the second sea of consciousness of the Eye of Life for his own use.
Although he did not merge with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to form the Eye of Destiny, his Eye of Living Being was originally developed based on the Moon Shadow Mark. As long as he could mobilize the mental and soul power within it, he would be able to unleash considerable combat power.
Xu Tianxi's own mental strength has reached a level comparable to that of some Soul Douluo; vaguely, he even feels that he can try to touch the realm of unity of heaven and earth.
"How is that possible? Is that his martial spirit?"
Tang Xiaolei did not detect any trace of soul skills from this unfathomable opponent, and his attack was forced to disperse. This was a dangerous situation he had never encountered before.
In the Shrek rest area, Bei Bei looked at Zhang Le Xuan in surprise: "Big Sister, why is his defense similar to yours?"
Zhang Lexuan's face was solemn: "My martial soul is the moon, and so is his martial soul. What just happened was probably a special soul skill or fighting technique."
"That Tang Xiaolei's attack is not weak, and is also top-notch among the Five-ring Soul Kings, but he was able to take it easily. It seems that he is undoubtedly a Soul Emperor. None of you are his match."
Wang Yan's face was tangled, and he stood up and made a pleading gesture: "Then Le Xuan, can you tell us about the Moon Martial Soul? As a Moon Martial Soul, I don't think he can cultivate more deeply than you; everyone will definitely keep it a secret for you."
It was very presumptuous of him to say this, as it was equivalent to asking Zhang Lexuan to reveal her combat weaknesses, but he had no choice. Throughout the battle until now, Kong Tianxi had never revealed his true strength, and was truly unfathomable.
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen have both shown the fighting power of powerful Soul Emperors in previous battles. Kong Tianxi must be even more terrifying, and may even surpass Dai Yueheng and approach Ma Xiaotao.
If Shrek doesn't adopt targeted tactics against this kind of opponent, he won't have any chance of winning.
Zhang Lexuan frowned, thought for a few breaths and nodded, "I'll think about it now, let's talk about it when we get back."
"Senior Sister, Tang Xiaolei has fired the last three arrows." Ling Luochen exclaimed.
Tang Xiaolei uses soul rings as arrows. He has five soul rings on his body, which means he can only launch five attacks, and these five attacks will drain all his soul power.
In a sense, his martial soul is somewhat similar to a soul guide, exchanging soul power for extremely powerful attack power. The explosive power of the last arrow can reach the Soul Emperor level. Ling Luochen knows that he cannot block it easily.
Now he shot three arrows at once, using all his strength to threaten Xu Tianxi; even his own body fell to the ground due to the exhaustion of his soul power.
"I don't believe that you can block it easily this time!" Tang Xiaolei, who fell to the ground, tilted his head and stared at the three arrow shadows that he had shot out with all his might.
"Then give it a try."
The moonlight between Xu Tianxi's eyebrows shone brightly. He waved his sleeves, and a moon-white soul light was scattered. His mental power and soul power merged into a clear barrier, blocking him.
At the same time, the fourth soul ring under his feet quietly lit up, making countless people breathe a sigh of relief - Xu Tianxi did not use the Moon Goddess's protection, but if he did not use his soul skills in this situation, it would be too scary.
"Swoosh—swoosh—swoosh—"
Three arrows, two purple and one yellow, shot out simultaneously and pierced into the Qinghui barrier. They made a hissing sound, but they could never penetrate.
In the blink of an eye, the bright yellow arrow shattered.
The next moment, a full moon appeared behind Xu Tianxi's head, and its light dissipated, emitting two beams of moonlight, which cleanly shattered the two purple arrow shadows.
Tang Xiaolei was completely despaired after seeing this scene and dropped his head.
This is the first time I have encountered such a powerful opponent in my entire cultivation. Moreover, the opponent did not even use his soul guide device. What is going on?
After blocking Tang Xiaolei's last three arrows, Xu Tianxi restrained his martial spirit and momentum, and said as if nothing had happened: "Please invite the next contestant to come on stage."
He had already memorized the soul power operation process of Tang Xiaolei's five arrows just now, which was a good research material; even if he couldn't use it himself, he could try to develop secret methods or soul guides. His voice was calm and indifferent, but it sounded different to everyone from Zhengtian College, Shrek College, and even the entire audience.
At Shrek Academy, the defensive war soul king Huyan Bashan's face turned ugly. Tang Xiaolei's three arrows were extremely powerful. He knew that he could not walk leisurely like Xu Tianxi, so it was inevitable that he would get hurt.
The expressions of the other people were solemn. Among all the contestants, perhaps only Ma Xiaotao could do what Xu Tianxi did with such ease.
At Zhengtian College, Ye Wuqing, Yu Mengdi and others looked extremely unhappy. Xu Tianxi's move was so amazing that it left no trace at all.
"Captain, how about I go..." Yu Mengdi opened his mouth and prepared to stand up.
"No! Let's take another look." Ye Wuqing stopped Yu Mengdi and glanced at his companions behind him:
"According to our agreement, Yifan, Xuelang, Yan'er, all of you go up and try his methods, and do your best."
There is an auxiliary soul master among the seven members of the Zhengtian team. It is of course meaningless for him to play. Sending a substitute up would be a waste. Ye Wuqing has made up his mind to try his best to stop Xu Tianxi in the sixth game.
"good."
Yang Yifan was the first to respond, and he quickly stepped onto the battlefield.
Seeing that it was a Soul Sect with a Soul Power of only Level 42 or 43, Xu Tianxi frowned slightly: "Although I am very interested in fighting, you should at least send a Soul King to fight me, right? You will not have any resistance in front of me with your strength, so it is better to go down as soon as possible."
Yang Yifan said fiercely: "Whether we can fight or not, we won't know until we fight!"
"It seems that the stereotype is too strong." Xu Tianxi shook his head and said, "Let me remind you that I am both a soul master and a soul mentor. It is meaningless to look at me with old eyes."
Yang Yifan summoned his dagger spirit and smiled coldly: "Then it depends on how capable you are."
Before he finished speaking, he turned into a ball of shadow and sneaked towards them at an extremely fast speed.
Obviously, he is a Soul Master of the Agility Attack type.
"As you wish."
Xu Tianxi moved his right hand, and a level 5 paralyzing soul guide gun he made by himself fell into his hand. Without even trying to aim, he shot a beam of soul guide ray forward.
A scene that shocked countless people happened on the field: the shadow transformed by Yang Yifan seemed to stick to it actively, and was pierced directly by Xu Tianxi's paralyzing soul guide ray.
The shadow dissipated, revealing Yang Yifan's powerless figure, who fell down limply.
"Next."
Xu Tianxi's calm voice rang out.
"Damn it, our Zhengtian Academy is not easy to deal with."
Blood Wave rushed onto the field, possessed by the Wolf Martial Spirit, and used an amplifying soul skill similar to the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and pounced out with fangs and claws.
"Wow——"
The soul guide ray pierced through the Blood Wolf's chest head-on. The latter lost the strength to move on the spot. Relying on inertia, he rushed forward a few steps before falling heavily to the ground.
"That's it. I think it's easy to deal with." Xu Tianxi spoke his mind frankly.
"And me!"
Yan'er came on stage and released a tangible elemental martial spirit fireball. He held up huge fireballs under his feet and in his hands, which made Xu Tianxi's eyes twitch.
You really just want to come up one by one and consume my soul power, right? "Okay, I'll satisfy you."
After changing to a level five ice soul guide gun, Xu Tianxi's body flashed and he fired three shots in succession at different positions on the competition stage. The icy soul guide rays penetrated Yan'er's body and turned the fireball into an ice sculpture.
Pressing his brows, Xu Tianxi couldn't help but said to Ye Wuqing in the audience:
"If you send this kind of soul master again, don't blame me for being rude. I'm here to compete, not to practice my spear skills."
"Don't worry, I won't let you down." Yu Mengdi answered on behalf of Ye Wuqing, and with a force of his legs, he jumped onto the competition stage.
As her martial spirit was released, a pair of white wings with a strong golden light spread out behind Yu Mengdi, instantly covering her entire body with a layer of soft gold.
Five soul rings, two yellow, two purple and one black, appeared on her body at the same time. The first soul ring moved rhythmically, and a golden light flashed in Yu Mengdi's hand, and a pair of golden swords appeared.
"The two-winged angel martial spirit has a combat power close to the peak of the Soul King. It is indeed good." Xu Tianxi's eyes lit up.
Angel spirits have always been synonymous with power in Douluo Continent. Although Yu Mengdi's angel spirit is far inferior to the six-winged angel inherited by the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, and probably not as good as a certain Miss Ye of the same generation, it is also a well-deserved top spirit.
When her martial soul reaches the seventh ring, it can evolve into a four-winged angel, and at the ninth ring it can evolve into a six-winged angel. Although it is not known how much difference there is between it and the six-winged angel ten thousand years ago, it is conceivable that it can rival the top-level martial soul.
"Speaking of angel spirits, we need to have people keep an eye on the Ordinary Alliance when we get back. If we find anyone there, we'll quickly intercept them. Holy angels are the best tools for dealing with evil spirit masters. Killing evil spirit masters will level you up."
Having made up his mind, Xu Tianxi came back to his senses and looked at Yu Mengdi, smiling and saying, "Angel Martial Spirit is very good, are you interested in developing in the Sun Moon Empire?"
