Battle Through the Heavens II: Three Phases of Peerless Power, One Soul and Four Bodies

"Xiao Ran, Su Li, get ready, it's our turn!" Xue Qianluo's clear voice rang in my ears.

Luo Ranyu nodded slightly, "Mm!"

Su Li, standing to the side, coldly replied, "Don't worry, my iron umbrella is already itching for a bite! Hehehe~"

Suddenly, Luo Ranyu's clothes were tugged by someone again. Without even thinking, he knew it was Xi'er. "Brother Ranyu, take these with you."

The three looked at Xi'er and saw that she was holding various bouquets. They weren't surprised at all and readily accepted the auxiliary flowers that Xi'er had prepared for them.

Because of the previous two matches, Xi'er had prepared flowers for them to improve their attributes.

Each person receives three plants: a Bauhinia flower to increase strength, a chrysanthemum to increase soul power and remove some toxins, and a morning glory to increase defense and provide a shield.

Su Li's eyes lit up, and she curiously smelled the scent of the three flowers, a serious and enjoyable expression appearing on her face.

Luo Ranyu asked, "Xi'er, how is Sister Mengdi?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Xi'er showed a worried expression: "Ah, yes~ Senior Brother Ye Wuqing is alright. I stabilized his injuries with ordinary peony, but... Sister Yu Mengdi's injuries are quite serious, her internal organs are damaged~ However, with Brother Ran Yu's first and second soul skills, plus Xi'er's treatment, she's fine now and won't have any aftereffects. But~ she needs to rest for at least a month to recover~"

Upon hearing this, Luo Ranyu brushed a strand of pink hair from her temple and gently thanked her, "Thank you, Xi'er~"

Hua Xi'er's worries vanished instantly, and a sweet smile bloomed on her face: "Go, Ran Yu! And go, Su Li too!"

Xue Qianluo was displeased upon hearing this and gently patted Xi'er's head: "Hmph, what about me?"

"Hmm~ Sister Xue'er doesn't need to cheer. You just need to lend your martial spirit to Brother Ran Yu, and then you can watch from the sidelines~"

Luo Ranyu chuckled, "Xi'er, you should cheer for Sister Xue instead. I don't want to face both of them at the same time. Alright, let's not talk about that now. The Sun and Moon team has already gone up on stage, and we need to go up too."

After saying that, the three of them came to the competition stage together. All three of them jumped up from below the stage and came up to the stage. Then it could be seen that the opponents were indeed the Hongchen siblings, plus Xiao Xiafeng.

Ran Yu knew nothing about Xiao Xiafeng, since he had never actually participated in a match before. However, Xiao Xiafeng's absence from the individual battles suggested that his individual combat strength was likely weak, at least inferior to that of Mika.

Without thinking too much, Luo Ranyu already had an idea. She said softly, "In this kind of team battle, Meng Hongchen won't use the Ice Toad Poison, but her weapon is still poisonous. My martial spirit isn't afraid of her toad poison, so I'll go and restrain her."

Xue Qianluo also readily devised a tactical plan with the two: "Su Li, Xiao Xiafeng is yours now. Charge straight in! He's definitely a tank-like Soul Master, so don't let him have it too easy. But don't be too aggressive either. You must hold out until I take care of Xiao Hongchen, understand?"

On the other side, on the Sun and Moon team's side, the referee Huang Jinxu's voice rang out: "Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy vs. Zheng Tian Academy, the third match of the semi-finals 2-2-3, the match begins!" Instantly, all six of them focused their eyes and fully entered battle mode.

Luo Ranyu's first martial soul is still the Void Phase. Her three purple and black soul rings suddenly lit up and then dimmed. The soul rings of the three-phase martial soul have not changed.

Soon, a blue halo bloomed, and a glow appeared on the three of them. This was the starting move of the team battle: Time Reversal, which greatly increased the release speed of the soul skills. About six seconds later, it instantly restored 30% of the soul power consumed during the process.

Next came the dash attack, with black and white halos appearing beneath Luo Ranyu's feet and beside Meng Hongchen. This was a spatial path, allowing Luo Ranyu to instantly close the distance to her opponent.

After Xue Qianluo summoned the Aurora Sword, she immediately stood in the circle of light, waiting to be teleported.

Su Li, on the other hand, did not need to use the spatial path to advance. His four soul rings, two yellow and two purple, slowly rose up, and a dense soul power fluctuation instantly erupted. A cold aura spread out, making people shudder.

The next second, he firmly grasped a jet-black iron umbrella covered with fine patterns. The umbrella was icy cold and exuded a faint killing intent. It was his martial spirit, the Thousand Chance Umbrella.

Then, Su Li's first spirit ring suddenly lit up, a pale yellow halo surrounding him. He swung the Thousand Chance Umbrella in his hand, and the umbrella spun around, flying straight towards Xiao Xiafeng at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived behind Xiao Xiafeng and was hovering in mid-air.

Immediately afterward, Su Li raised his sword finger in front of him, closed his eyes, and rapidly recited the incantation for his soul skill, causing his soul power to surge rapidly. Just a second later, his figure flashed away like a ghost, using the soul skill effect of the Thousand Chance Umbrella to activate the teleportation technique, instantly appearing behind Xiao Xiafeng at extremely close range.

The instant the teleportation was complete, Su Li reached out without hesitation, grabbed the Thousand Chance Umbrella floating in mid-air, and, holding it, swung it forcefully at Xiao Xiafeng's back with tremendous power.

"Bang—!"

A dull thud suddenly rang out as the Thousand Chance Umbrella struck Xiao Xiafeng's defensive shield with tremendous force, causing the shield to tremble violently.

Xiao Xiafeng was shocked: "Such explosive power!" Simultaneously, using the powerful impact and the flight soul tools on his shoulders and legs, he quickly retreated, creating a distance of tens of meters between himself and Su Li. He stared at Su Li with a serious expression, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

Su Li, however, showed no hurry to pursue. A smug smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand again and flung out the Thousand Chance Umbrella. The Thousand Chance Umbrella turned into a black afterimage and flew straight away, stopping precisely behind Xiao Xiafeng, just like the previous action.

After the Thousand Chance Umbrella is released as a soul skill, it will temporarily enter a spirit state, which can pass through any obstacle and will not be blocked by the opponent's defensive soul tools or soul skills. However, at the same time, it cannot cause any damage to enemies in its path. It can only be used as a medium for teleportation or to confuse the opponent.

Xiao Xiafeng was unaware of this characteristic of the Thousand Chance Umbrella, but he was by no means an ordinary person, and he quickly figured out a preliminary strategy to deal with Su Li.

Seeing Su Li resort to the same trick again, Xiao Xiafeng's eyes narrowed, and he immediately manipulated the soul tools on his body with both hands. Several small soul cannons instantly extended from his waist and shoulders, aiming at Su Li's main body, as well as at the Thousand Chance Umbrella rotating in the air, and launched an attack without hesitation.

"Boom boom boom—!"

For a time, the two were locked in a stalemate, with their combat strength evenly balanced.

Meanwhile, Luo Ranyu and Xue Qianluo teamed up to fight against the Hongchen siblings.
