Chapter 91: A Stress-Free Match

Tingling and numbness.

This was what Gu You felt, especially the sensation of his soul power being drained—both uncomfortable and yet oddly pleasurable, with a slight electrical tingle that felt almost like an itch.

"Are you done yet?"

Roar!

A fierce dragon's roar echoed across the arena, and purple light illuminated the entire field. At the same time, Gu You's first soul skill shot out. This strike, the Purple Gold Annihilation Kill, was amplified several times by the dragon's shadow in its second stage. This soul skill had two forms of attack, layered in stages. The first was to add dragon-related energy, delivering a punch, and the second was a surprise attack from the dragon's head illusory shadow when the opponent was caught off guard.

Anyway, Gu You wasn't used to the first stage; he preferred long-range bombardment—it always gave him a strange sense of satisfaction.

Long Yuan, for some reason, trembled all over, unable to use his soul skills.

Ye Xinglan, faced with the terrifying might of the dragon's shadow, knew she couldn't dodge it. Her heart no longer underestimated Gu You. Under the Abyss Thunder King domain of Long Yuan, she didn't even seem to be affected.

She couldn't afford to lose. If she did, she would lose face. After all, she was the one who had issued the challenge. She didn't want to become a laughingstock, so she could only give it her all!

The Star God Sword in her hand glowed, and the power of the Star God kept accumulating. The strong light illuminated the entire domain, allowing the spectators outside to see the interior of the domain clearly.

"At this rate, it feels like the Shrek side is losing ground."

"Impossible! My Shrek Academy can't lose!!"

"Dammit, another Shrek dog is on the field."

"Quiet, quiet, just look at the Hundred-thousand-year soul ring. That kid's mental strength must be high, not to mention his physical condition. Look at those robust dragon-scaled arms; who has ever seen a dragon-type martial soul with a weak body?"

"I think Gu You has a high chance of winning, and the Federation news even said this kid can hold his own against soul masters of the Soul Douluo level! Evil Soul Masters are far stronger than regular soul masters, so they are capable of challenging above their level."

...

"What do you think?" The woman in black turned to the girl beside her, her eyes flickering with what seemed like flames, though dark in color.

"Ah, what can I think? This livestream is so interesting, I'm even envious of that Hundred-thousand-year soul ring," the small girl replied. She was much shorter than the woman beside her, radiating a unique aura that could captivate one's soul. But from her presence, it was clear she wasn't weak.

"If he grows up, he will definitely impact the Demon Emperor's plan."

"I know, but from our investigation, his background is not simple. You saw what happened last time in the Extreme North, right? Even she, with her cultivation, found it hard to kill this kid. What more can we say about you and me? Moreover, he has a special relationship with your sister~"

"Don't talk to me about her!" The woman in black struck the wall fiercely, leaving a fist-shaped mark, before disappearing without a trace.

"Heh, the Demon Emperor's plan is all for her. If anyone is smart, they must leave a way out," the small girl continued to watch the Sky Sea Alliance Tournament live stream, her hollow eyes flickering with madness.

Sword God Star! Ye Xinglan's first soul ring lit up, and a massive starburst of light shot from her sword, charging toward the dragon shadow. At the same time, her face turned pale instantly. This strike almost drained all the Star God power she had accumulated.

The dragon shadow collided with the starlight, producing a series of thunderous booms. Just when everyone thought Ye Xinglan had blocked it, the dragon shadow devoured the starlight and continued to strike toward the Shrek Academy team.

So powerful!

The whole arena realized the true extent of Gu You's strength. And this was only his first soul skill! No one could predict how powerful his second or even third soul skills would be.

Long Yuan was still in a daze. He wanted to move, but there was a pressure that made it impossible for him to channel his soul power, and even his martial soul was hard to control.

His heart raced as the dragon shadow charged at Ye Xinglan. She no longer had her usual arrogance. The pressure was too terrifying, and she felt that if she was hit, she might be torn apart and cease to exist!

"Stop!" The referee shouted at this moment. His soul power gathered in his hand, condensing into a bullet-like energy to shoot out and try to stop the attack. But the dragon shadow was too fast; there wasn't enough time.

"Xinglan Sister!" Xu Lizhi also shouted at this moment, not expecting Gu You to use such a heavy hand.

Gu You just coldly watched Long Yuan, completely ignoring Ye Xinglan, "Aren't you going to make a move?"

In the final moment, the blue dragon shadow, like rain, dispersed the second-stage Purple Gold Annihilation Kill with a roar.

Thunder! Armor began assembling around Long Yuan, releasing an aura no weaker than a Soul Saint's.

Battle Armor!

Tang Wulin, watching from the sidelines, was stunned. To have a Battle Armor at the rank of a Soul Master required an exceptional body and effort. And from what Teacher Wu said, this was just a student from the outer academy. He couldn't even imagine how outrageous the students from Shrek's inner academy must be.

Deep Dragon Abyss Slash!

Long Yuan's second soul ring lit up, and his dragon claws turned into blades, slashing twice in the air. Two light blades filled with dragon power shot toward Gu You at high speed.

With the enhancement of the battle armor, this strike was comparable to a regular Soul Emperor's attack.

Purple Gold Terror Claws!

Five terrifying purple lights shot out and collided. This was an upgraded version of the Dark Gold Terror Claw soul bone skill, and its power was terrifying.

"Eradicate!" Don't forget, Shrek Academy had more than just four fighters. One of their students, with a martial soul of earth elements, was a young child, only about eleven or twelve, but he was unfortunate. His father had died early on the way home, and his body had never been recovered...

Gu You's feet sank into the ground, almost losing his balance and falling flat, but it didn't affect him much. He just had to make a slight move, and the area within a half-meter radius was torn up and disrupted. He shook off the slight numbness in his leg and clashed with the Purple Gold Terror Claws and the twin slashes.

Battle! The Purple Gold Terror Claws naturally shredded Long Yuan's soul skill, and Gu You's body swiftly flew out. The five purple light beams from the claws didn't even dissipate before they slammed into Long Yuan, leaving deep claw marks, even though his battle armor was strong.

Taking advantage of Long Yuan being knocked back, Gu You had already reached the Shrek Academy team's formation, charging straight toward the crucial support.

"What... What are you doing?" The girl with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Martial Soul stared in fear as Gu You charged toward her, collapsing to the ground.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt much," Gu You casually lifted her with one hand and tossed her out like a basketball. The girl flew out of the arena and crashed heavily onto the ground with a scream. It looked painful.

Long Yuan finally reacted, enraged, and his ten-thousand-year soul ring lit up...
