Chapter 198: Crushing! 

Jing Shaoyu's team encountered Xu Yucheng's team in a narrow confrontation, and the battle was about to erupt.

"Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, finish it quickly!" Xu Yucheng said coldly, his eyes flashing. Behind him, four Soul Rings pulsed rhythmically as he took a step forward and charged towards Jing Shaoyu and his companions.

"Understood!" his two companions responded in unison, attacking alongside Xu Yucheng, one on the left and one on the right.

On the left, Zhang Long was a control-type Soul Venerable, and his Martial Soul was a gray iron harpoon. Normally, such an aggressive weapon-type Martial Soul would follow a strong attack or agile attack route, but Zhang Long chose a less common path. His first and second Soul Rings flashed simultaneously, and then the harpoon in his hand split apart, transforming from one into two, two into four, and four into eight. Under his control, they lined up and thrust towards Gu Yue, who was beside Jing Shaoyu.

On the right, Zhao Hu was an agile attack-type Soul Venerable, and his Martial Soul was a rare beast-type, the sickle weasel. This peculiar Martial Soul resembled a weasel but had a pair of sickle-like forelimbs. It was extremely fast, and the sickle-like limbs were incredibly sharp, adept at harvesting enemies through high-speed movement. At this moment, taking advantage of his speed, Zhao Hu surged ahead, his first and third Soul Rings lighting up in succession. He radiated a blue glow, and his body began to spin rapidly, the sickle blades spreading out to form a whirlwind.

Facing the opponents' attack, Jing Shaoyu's trio naturally would not sit idly by. Jing Shaoyu raised the Staff of Stars, pausing slightly, and a massive wave of water surged up, forming a five-meter-high water wall in the space between them, which began to advance towards Xu Yucheng's trio at a steady pace.

The first to make contact with the wave was Zhao Hu. Transforming into a whirlwind of sickles, he broke through the water wave, emerging only slightly wet, seemingly unaffected. However, his speed had noticeably slowed a bit, yet he continued to charge towards Jing Shaoyu. Following closely behind were Zhang Long's eight harpoons, which were speeding up and actually surpassed Zhao Hu, heading straight for Gu Yue.

Gu Yue looked on with disdain. She lightly raised her jade hand, and a gentle breeze swirled up from her palm, blowing towards the incoming harpoons. The eight harpoons, facing Gu Yue's gust, seemed like rootless duckweed, scattered in all directions, losing their trajectory and even their own control, falling apart under the breeze.

This scene caused Zhang Long's expression to change drastically. He never expected that his Soul Skill would be so easily countered by Gu Yue. How could this be possible?

Xu Yucheng frowned at the sight, but he was currently facing the threat of the massive wave raised by the Water Surge Technique, leaving him no time to think about others. His first Soul Ring lit up, and the dark magic sickle in his hand emitted a black glow. With the blade pointing forward, he suddenly swung it in the air, creating a cross-shaped blade of light that sliced through the water wave, instantly dividing it into four separate pieces that could not intersect.

As the water wave shattered, mist sprayed over Xu Yucheng and Zhang Long, but the two paid no mind and charged recklessly towards Jing Shaoyu's trio.

On the other side, Zhao Hu was now less than ten meters away from Jing Shaoyu, ready to attack him in the next moment. However, this close distance was advantageous not only for Zhao Hu but also for Jing Shaoyu's side. Xu Xiaoyan unhesitatingly raised her star staff, and her first Soul Ring immediately shone with light. In an instant, a star wheel flew out, hitting Zhao Hu with pinpoint accuracy without any need for special control.

As a result, Zhao Hu was instantly frozen in place, his posture looking quite comical, one hand pointing to the sky and the other to the ground, his body leaning forward like a spinning top.

Gu Yue immediately followed up on Xu Xiaoyan's control. With her jade hands moving in the air, a swirling mass of cold air coiled around her hands. In just a moment, this white air transformed into a howling north wind, fiercely blowing towards Zhao Hu.

Having previously charged through the water wave raised by Jing Shaoyu, Zhao Hu was already wet. The north wind, composed of ice and wind elements, struck him, instantly turning him into a lifelike ice sculpture, with only his head remaining exposed.

"Good technique!" Xu Yucheng said coldly, leaping into the air. His four Soul Rings lit up, three of them at once. The dark magic sickle in his hand instantly grew larger and darker, and within a five-meter radius centered on Xu Yucheng, light vanished, and darkness surged. He quickly swung the dark magic sickle, the massive blade cleaving through the air, unleashing wave after wave of dark blade light that descended upon Jing Shaoyu's trio in the blink of an eye.

Jing Shaoyu quickly wrapped one arm around Xu Xiaoyan and the other around Gu Yue, his legs pushing off to leap backward. The Wings of Origin behind him suddenly spread wide, and with a powerful flap, the three of them soared into the air, evading Xu Yucheng's attack.

Seeing Jing Shaoyu could still fly, Xu Yucheng's face showed a rare expression of disarray, a sense of shock washing over him. How could this be? How could he still fly?

In the air, Jing Shaoyu held Xu Xiaoyan in one arm and Gu Yue in the other. The two girls cooperatively leaned against him, and he wore a calm smile as he said, "Gu Yue, Xiaoyan, take care of them!"

The two girls nodded immediately. As both were ranged attack-type soul masters, being held by Jing Shaoyu did not hinder their output at all; in fact, it made it safer and quicker. After all, this could be seen as a human-shaped bombing machine.

Jing Shaoyu's trio was already quite familiar with this combat style. Xu Yucheng's team lacked aerial Soul Skills, and facing such an attack from the three of them, they seemed to have no way out but to wait for their demise.

Xu Xiaoyan's purple Soul Rings lit up in succession, and the light from her star staff burst forth. Countless brilliant starlights scattered under her control. Below, Xu Yucheng's trio had no good way to respond to the overwhelming starlight. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were directly covered in starlight, while Xu Yucheng spun the dark magic sickle, briefly forming a barrier. But this was merely a delay, not a solution.

Starfall and Glittering Starlight! One was a group control Soul Skill that could confuse opponents, and the other could control the opponents' movements. The simultaneous use of these two Soul Skills produced an effect far beyond mere addition.

At the same time, Gu Yue also made her move. Three purple Soul Rings appeared behind her, causing Xu Yucheng to show a shocked expression. Two girls, who were not well-known, actually possessed six purple Soul Rings, making him doubt his own eyes. Gu Yue's three Soul Rings lit up simultaneously, and the three major Soul Skills—Elemental Tide, Elemental Control, and Elemental Fusion—were unleashed at once. She extended her free left hand, her jade finger tapping in the air.

Instantly, a blend of blue and white ethereal light gathered in the air. Accompanied by the movement of Gu Yue's finger, a torrential downpour began, with large snowflakes drifting down. This was a perfect combination of water and ice elements.

Xu Yucheng's situation was now perilously close to a dead end. The combined attack of rain and snow had already turned Zhang Long and Zhao Hu into white light, disappearing from this place. He could only keep swinging the dark magic sickle to disperse the falling starlight and snow, but his soul power was rapidly depleting. If he couldn't think of a way to break the situation, he too would meet the same fate as Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.

His expression darkened, gray eyes exuding a black aura as he prepared for a desperate fight.

However, how could Jing Shaoyu give him that opportunity? Although he held Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan in his arms, using the Source Stone did not require his hands; he only needed a thought. Thus, a green light flickered in his eyes.

A violently swirling tornado erupted, and in an instant, it sucked everything around it into its body. The powerful wind instantly shattered Xu Yucheng's tenuous defense, and his body staggered, being swept away by the gale, slowly moving towards the depths of the tornado.

Rain and snow occasionally struck him, causing patches of ice to form on his body, severely affecting his movement and agility. Xu Yucheng's eyes revealed a deep unwillingness. He never expected to face his first defeat so quickly within Shrek Academy!

This was truly too frustrating for him.

Yet, no matter how unwilling he felt, Xu Yucheng ultimately transformed into white light, forcibly ejected from this virtual world.

Outside the virtual world, Wu Zhangkong, Shen Yi, and other students who had already exited witnessed the entire battle. At this moment, Zheng Yiran had lost all her arrogance and defiance.

Crushed! Xu Yucheng's team could be said to have been completely crushed by Jing Shaoyu's team!

Zheng Yiran could only admire the seamless cooperation and synergy displayed by Jing Shaoyu's trio, which she had never imagined before. Although their individual strength did not show particularly strong scenes in this battle, the beautifully coordinated team fight left her feeling utterly powerless and envious.

Wu Zhangkong nodded subtly.
