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

Luo Qianba's unnecessary movement might go unnoticed by the audience, and even if they did, no one would care. However, Luo Ranyu, who had been watching matches for many years, noticed this tiny movement. Through watching and thinking, Luo Ranyu knew that Huo Yuhao of Shrek Academy might possess a spirit skill that could attack with mental energy. Many people had previously lost their focus or fainted after being stared at by his intense gaze.

Luo Ranyu narrowed her eyes, her thoughts racing: Was Luo Qianba's head shake just now an attempt to dodge Huo Yuhao's mental attack?

He secretly calculated that mental attacks are invisible and intangible, and their speed is extremely fast. Based on his past experience watching matches, he estimated that within a 30-meter range, a mental attack could hit a target within one second. If the range were shortened to within three meters, the time would be less than 0.1 seconds, making it almost impossible to avoid. Moreover, no one can see the trajectory of a mental attack. Faced with such an elusive threat, ordinary soul masters can only withstand it head-on, with no way to predict or defend against it.

But Ke Luoqianba actually did it.

Luo Ranyu's mind became increasingly clear: This guy had already seen through Huo Yuhao's mental abilities. His surprise attack on Ling Luochen was not only to defeat Shrek Academy's control core, but also to deliberately close the distance with Huo Yuhao and force him to use his trump card.

At that time, Shrek Academy's back row was in chaos. With his teammates seriously injured and a powerful enemy pressing in, Huo Yuhao would subconsciously activate his most skilled and never-failing mental attack. He didn't have time to think about the game of "prediction and counter-prediction" and fell right into Luo Qianba's trap.

Luo Qianba, precisely from the subtle changes in Huo Yuhao's expression—the brightening of his eyes and the slight tightening of his gaze—precisely seized the opportunity to attack, dodging the fatal blow with a seemingly casual head turn.

Thinking of this, Luo Ranyu exclaimed that he was an expert and felt a sense of admiration for Luo Qianba. This man seemed crazy and ruthless, but in fact he was meticulous and his tactical skills far surpassed those of other Soul Masters of the same level.

At the same time, he glanced at Luo Jiuxiao with a puzzled look, thinking to himself, "Why do I feel like he looks a bit like Jiuxiao? Fortunately, their temperaments are completely different. Luo Qianba is sinister and arrogant, while Jiuxiao is calm and reserved. Otherwise, I would really have assumed that they had some kind of relationship."

What's even more alarming is that, so far, Luo Qianba has only used one second soul skill, yet he has already turned Shrek Academy upside down.

On the field, Huo Yuhao's astonishment deepened. He stared blankly at Luo Qianba, his eyes filled with disbelief. His soul attack, which had never failed before, had been so easily dodged by the opponent! Before the shock could subside, Luo Qianba gave him no chance to catch his breath, his figure rushing forward like an arrow released from a bow.

"Hmph~ I knew it long ago, you're the core of this team!"

Luo Qianba sneered, his tone filled with certainty. His right fist, crackling with scorching crimson flames, aimed straight for Huo Yuhao's face. Huo Yuhao's heart tightened, and he quickly retreated to dodge.

With a crisp "clang!", Wang Dong instantly unfurled his colorful butterfly wings, shielding Huo Yuhao. The hard armor at the edges of his wings barely blocked Luo Qianba's heavy punch, sparks flying everywhere.

Almost simultaneously, Xi Xi moved with lightning speed, wielding a lightning dagger and stabbing from the side, its cold light aimed directly at Luo Qianba's lower back, creating a pincer attack.

Luo Qianba remained calm and unhurried, swinging his left arm to block Xixi's dagger with a loud clang, which made Xixi's wrist go numb.

Faced with the two attacking him, he curled up a smug sneer and suddenly exerted force with his right hand, gripping Wang Dong's butterfly wings tightly like an iron clamp.

The palm strike was incredibly powerful; Wang Dong felt as if his wings were locked in steel hoops, unable to move at all.

Before Wang Dong could break free, Luo Qianba exerted force in his arm, violently shoving her towards Xixi. Wang Dong struggled to maintain her balance; though not dizzy, she still collided with Xixi without any chance of escape. The two staggered back several steps, and after regaining their footing, exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.

After regaining their footing, Wang Dong and Xi Xi continued their attack on Luo Qianba.

However, Luo Qianba was extremely skilled in both physical techniques and the power of the Crimson Flame. He used a double kick on the left and a burst of flames on the right, holding his own against two opponents. In addition, with his level 59 soul power, he defeated both of them in just a few rounds.

The two exchanged a glance, and Xixi said gravely, "We must deal with him as soon as possible!"

Wang Dong nodded, looked at Luo Qianba, and leaped into the air. "Third Soul Skill, Butterfly God Slash!" His two wings bent forward, the edges of which reflected a sharp light under the lamplight, and then he slashed down at Luo Qianba on the ground.

Xi Xi and Wang Dong attacked again. Luo Qianba snorted coldly, and his first and third spirit rings lit up.

"Third Soul Skill: Steel Claws and Iron Armor!"

Suddenly, Luo Qianba's figure grew larger, his arms turned jet black and shiny, as if covered by a layer of iron armor. His hands began to take shape into the form of pincers. Duang~ Wang Dong descended like a shooting star, but stopped abruptly near Luo Qianba. Luo Qianba's giant pincers on both arms tightly gripped Wang Dong's pair of sharp butterfly wings.

The sudden stiffness caused a sharp pain in Wang Dong's back, but seeing the fierce look in the other person's eyes, she quickly snapped back to reality. She detached her wings, crossed her arms in front of her to protect herself, and at the same time, her soul power shield began to condense.

Bang! Luo Qianba delivered a powerful straight kick to Wang Dong, sending her flying.

"Ugh~ Pfft!"

This prompted Huo Yuhao to shout, "Wang Dong!"

Fortunately for Wang Dong, she had removed her wings beforehand, so when she was kicked, her body flew out, which actually helped to dissipate the force.

Otherwise, even with the protection of her soul power shield, she might have been seriously injured by that kick, and she would definitely have felt the excruciating pain of having her arm torn off.

At the same time, Xixi's dagger pierced Luo Qianba's iron armor. "Sizzle sizzle~" The power of lightning roamed freely on the surface of the iron armor, but only left a few shallow white marks.

After activating his Steel Claw Armor, Luo Qianba's defense increased dramatically, rendering the attack ineffective.

Just as Luo Qianba was about to turn around and retaliate against Xixi, a bone-chilling cold force suddenly struck, accompanied by a terrifying pressure that made people suffocate.

"Ice Emperor's Claw!" Huo Yuhao's eyes were bloodshot, clearly enraged. His inner eyes blazed with light, and his ultimate ice soul power surged wildly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant, ice-blue scorpion claw materialized from the swirling snow and wind, hurtling straight at Luo Qianba with a whistling sound that seemed to tear through the air.

Luo Qianba's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously leaped back several steps, his expression solemn as if facing a formidable enemy: "This kind of power is comparable to a soul skill with a 100,000-year soul ring!" Even though he was shocked, there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, a fierce fighting spirit and a sense of excitement ignited, and the crimson flames around his body became even more intense.

Although he was shocked, he was not afraid at all. On the contrary, his fourth spirit ring lit up, and a black spirit ring appeared. Like Jin Zhongyue, his fourth spirit ring was also a black ten-thousand-year spirit ring!

This scene finally reignited the crowd's curiosity. Viewers who had been watching the match were quite puzzled; while Luo Qianba's level 59 was indeed high, it shouldn't be enough for him to take on four opponents at once! But now, seeing that Luo Qianba's fourth spirit ring was a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, they finally felt a little better.

"Oh, I see! Then it's alright..."
