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

While Yan'er and Yi Chen were locked in a fierce battle, Xue Qianluo, who had suddenly attacked from behind enemy lines, wielded her Aurora Sword, unleashing a relentless barrage that even the Holy Wings could not halt her advance.

Boom!! A gray-white figure slammed into the ground. The man with gray-white wings behind him clutched his chest, the heavy pain preventing him from getting up.

However, Xue Qianluo only glanced at him before shifting her gaze to Princess Jiujiu, the captain.

Beneath Xue Qianluo's stunningly beautiful face lay a blank expression; instead, she launched another magnificent attack.

*Thud! Clang! Sizzle!*

The relentless attacks exerted immense pressure on Princess Jiujiu, who gritted her teeth and dodged. Xue Qianluo's offensive was relentless, and even though she had a soul power shield protecting her and had taken out some defensive soul tools, it had little effect.

Princess Jiu Jiu was surprised to find her opponent incredibly difficult to deal with. Finally, she made up her mind, glaring fiercely at Xue Qianluo who was attacking again, inwardly complaining.

"Is this woman crazy? Looks like I'll have to use [Absolute Defense] now, but it's only the quarterfinals!"

She was reluctant, not because she was alone, but because she didn't want to reveal her strength prematurely. However, her body betrayed her, as she pulled a silver flower-shaped object from her waist.

As she threw the object, a jet-black, gleaming mirror appeared out of thin air, blocking Xue Qianluo's path. Xue Qianluo's first instinct was to dodge; this was definitely not a good thing! But it was already too late.

The moment the Aurora Sword touched the mirror, her body was sucked in, and instantly a three-dimensional rhomboid space formed, surrounding her.

Thump~~

Xue Qianluo tried to cleave through the enclosed space, but only felt her strikes being absorbed.

Thump thump~ Bang~ Boom~

Xue Qianluo refused to believe it and continued to pound on the enclosed space, but the space remained completely undamaged. Xue Qianluo was slightly angry, but she quickly calmed down and sensed the changes in the surrounding environment. The Aurora Sword slid slightly on the space wall, trying to find a weak point to break through it.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Hongchen and the others from Sun Moon Academy were all shocked: "It's actually a level seven, one-time use soul tool! That's a soul tool that only our Sun Moon Empire can produce! We never expected that Star Luo National Academy would actually bring out something like this. It seems that Zheng Tian Academy is in trouble!"

The item that Princess Jiujiu threw out was a level 7 disposable soul tool called "Absolute Defense". It was originally created to protect people with the space it created. Its protective strength is about the same as that of a level 70 high-level defensive soul master and can last for 15 minutes.

Because it is unbreakable both inside and out, it was later used by some to seal off opponents.

With Xue Qianlu temporarily restricted, Zheng Tian Academy suddenly found itself one person short, making the situation delicate.

On the Star Luo team's side, Saint Wing, who had been defeated by Xue Qianluo, took the opportunity to sit cross-legged and fully circulate his soul power to recover.

With no obstacles in sight, Princess Jiujiu was finally able to show off her skills. With a light leap, she landed between Huang Heyun and Dugu Shangshan, and the Star Crown Martial Soul above her head shone brightly as she raised her arm.

"The competition has only just begun. But it will be over soon!" Princess Jiu Jiu shouted, "Star Guardian!"

A burst of purple energy erupted from her body, instantly forming an extremely large enclosed space that covered one-third of the battlefield. Ye Wuqing, Yu Mengdi, and Tang Xiaolei were all sealed inside. The three of them had to face the four people from Xingluo's side: two powerful attack-type Soul Kings, the wind control Soul King Wang Shiying, and Princess Jiujiu.

Three against four! And the opponent also has a Star Guardian formation, how to break this deadlock?

In other words, the remaining people were outside, and the entire venue was divided into two battlefields!

Just before Princess Jiujiu cast Star Guardian, the battle between Yan'er and the Fire Control Soul King Yichen was still fierce. Explosions echoed across the battlefield. Although Yan'er was always at a disadvantage, she was able to maintain her balance and not be completely defeated by Yichen. In the end, Yichen decided to defeat her opponent completely. She suddenly took a step back, and in her palm, she joined her index and middle fingers together to form a sword finger. At the same time, she quickly cast a spell, and the fire element quickly gathered behind her.

As Yan'er saw the opponent's fifth spirit ring light up, she instantly tensed up. "Now!" Success or failure hinges on this moment!

Instead of backing down, she launched an attack. Flaming chains spiraled out from her arms, and simultaneously, flame runes lit up the ground beneath her feet, instantly forming a cage engulfed in raging flames. The four corners of the cage connected precisely with the scorching chains shot from Yan'er's hands!

"boom!"

Yi Chen's fifth soul skill had already erupted, and the enormous force of the flames pushed Yan'er violently out of the arena. But at the same time, Yi Chen, who was trapped in the flame cage, was also firmly locked by the pull of the chains, and flew out of the arena along with Yan'er.

Two fiery meteors streaked across the arena, "Boom—Thump—"

Two heavy thuds rang out in succession as the two women fell heavily to the ground, their cries of pain echoing through the air.

"Cough cough~ Damn it, I've been tricked. But how does she still have the soul power to unleash her fourth soul skill?"

Yi Chen struggled to her feet, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth. She looked at Yan'er with a fierce yet puzzled expression, but Yan'er was no longer able to answer her. She had forcefully taken Yi Chen's fifth soul skill and was already seriously injured and unconscious. The healing soul master quickly stepped forward to treat both Yan'er and Yi Chen.

At the same time, the leader of Zhengtian Academy hurriedly stepped forward and placed a red-hearted white lotus left by Xi'er on Yan'er's body. An extremely powerful healing light slowly flowed into her body, and the red and white light flowed around her.

Thus, Yan'er from Zhengtian Academy and Yi Chen from Xingluo National Academy were both eliminated.

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

On the field, Princess Jiu Jiu's Star Guardian separated the battlefield into two parts, and both sides could see what was happening inside through the purple aura wall of the Star Guardian.

Apart from Xue Qianluo, the remaining six students from Zhengtian Academy were scattered in three different locations. Luo Ranyu attempted to use her third soul skill, Time Reversal. A blue light spread out, and although the blue light was blocked by the Star Guardian's energy barrier, the timer for Time Reversal was still added to the three teammates inside, which made Luo Ranyu very happy.

So that's how it is. Star Guardian is just a powerful field skill, or rather, a shield effect. And my Time Reversal doesn't seem to be blocked by these air walls or anything like that. As long as my teammates are within my casting range, they can receive support effects.

At this moment, Luo Ranyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He had previously wanted to use the spatial path to transfer Xue Qianluo, who was sealed inside, out of the absolutely defensive enclosed space, but his mental power could not detect her presence, so he gave up the idea. Now, Luo Ranyu wanted to try to use the spatial path to transfer his teammate out of the Star Guardian.

But this idea was interrupted by reality as soon as it came to mind.

Releasing the Path of Space requires a short preparation time, while Chen Xiaojie's attacks were like a storm, continuous and sharp, giving Luo Ranyu no chance to catch her breath.

"call out--"

A yellow lightning bolt flashed past Luo Ranyu again, its sharp claw-like wind slicing through the soul power shield around him.
