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

Luo Ranyu's matter-of-fact attitude left Xuanzi somewhat bewildered.

"Suck it out? If it were that easy, I would have done it already. Strange! Won't this Phoenix Evil Flame corrode his body?"

However, he had nothing to say. An idea popped into his mind, and with a "humph," he tossed Luo Qianba to Luo Ranyu and the others before turning away.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Taotie Douluo leave. Xi'er quickly ran over, grabbed Luo Ranyu's hand, and asked worriedly, "Brother Ranyu, you absorbed all that black energy, so you'll be alright, won't you?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Ranyu dispersed the fluctuations of her soul power, felt the changes in her body, and chuckled, "It's alright, Xi'er. Not only am I alright, but I also feel that my cultivation level and the age of my soul rings have changed as a result."

"Really? That's great!"

"Hmph, this Elder Xuan of Shrek Academy is too arrogant and domineering!" Luo Jiuxiao said angrily. He had never liked Shrek Academy, not now, not before.

Luo Ranyu also let out a heavy sigh, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted, but still comforted him, "It's alright now, it's nothing. What anger do we have? We can unleash it on the Shrek Academy team during the finals."

Jiang Peng chimed in, "That's right! I hope you can advance to the finals and dethrone Shrek! I've disliked them for a long time. They always boast about training monsters, but frankly, they just cram in top-tier geniuses. Ordinary people have absolutely no chance of making a comeback!"

Jin Zhongyue handed Luo Qianba to Jiang Peng, saying, "Brother Jiang, Shrek Academy has many people, so please keep your voices down. I'll leave Qianba in your care!"

Jiang Peng grumbled as he took Luo Qianba's bag and turned to leave. "Phew~ Don't worry, Zheng Tian Academy, we look forward to your performance! I'm off now~"

Thus, the battle for the final spot between Shrek Academy and Di'ao Academy came to an end with Shrek Academy emerging victorious. Next up is the competition for the other final spot: the second semi-final match between Zheng Tian Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which is about to begin.

Since Zhengtian Academy gave up the team competition, they must win this one-on-one match, otherwise... Of course, Jin Zhongyue and Luo Jiuxiao, who have returned, are full of confidence and fearless. After all, after completing the first martial soul restriction removal, Jin Zhongyue directly leveled up from level 46 to level 48, and Luo Jiuxiao also went from level 44 to level 46.

Leveling up is merely an additional bonus for dispelling restrictions; the restrictions they actually dispel are not related to level...

Soon, the match between Zheng Tian and Ri Yue was about to begin. The number of people in the stands had not decreased. Moreover, Shrek Academy, which had just finished the semi-finals, had also come to watch. After all, this match would determine their opponent in the finals, so they would definitely be watching.

Zhengtian Academy first dispatched Yu Mengdi, a level 53 Soul King, and her opponent was named Li Yan. Like his name, his martial soul was a fire-attribute martial soul, specifically a pure Li Fire element. As is well known, even martial souls of the same element can vary in strength.

In other words, even if two people both have fire elemental martial souls, the strength of their martial souls may not be the same, and it is generally difficult to judge directly.

Although his "Li Fire" has the word "Li" added, it is actually weaker than normal fire element, making it unsuitable for cultivation.

However, he is quite talented in the creation of Soul Masters. At this time, he is already a Level 5 Soul Master, and his cultivation of Martial Soul is not lagging behind. He also personally crafts the Soul Tools he uses, making the fusion between the Soul Tools and his own Martial Soul more compatible and better able to bring out the effects of both the Martial Soul and the Soul Tools.

As soon as the match began, Li Yan didn't hesitate. His fire elemental soul power surged, pouring entirely into the level-five soul-guided cannon mounted on his shoulder. Without even aiming, he pulled the trigger, and a massive fireball hurtled towards Yu Mengdi. The fireball ripped through the sky with astonishing force. Yu Mengdi was prepared. Her angelic martial soul unfolded behind her, her pure white wings fluttering lightly as she nimbly dodged, using a movement technique akin to walking on snow without leaving a trace, quickly retreating.

Despite this, the enormous soul-guided cannonball exploded behind her, slightly affecting Yu Mengdi. Yu Mengdi turned around slightly, inwardly marveling, "The power of the soul-guided cannon is indeed well-deserved; even though I was more than ten meters away, I was still affected!"

......

After a fierce battle, Yu Mengdi's fifth soul skill, God-Sealing Slash, was blocked by Li Yan's invincible shield. However, even so, Yu Mengdi, whose soul power was insufficient, still managed to take her opponent off the stage with her in an almost frenzied, defensive fighting style. She then collapsed due to exhaustion of soul power. The battle was extremely fierce, and both of them were seriously injured, making it highly likely that they would be unable to participate in the subsequent matches.

Immediately following, the second match began, with Tang Xiaolei from Zhengtian Academy facing off against Chen Fei from Riyue Academy.

Tang Xiaolei's martial soul is the Purple Flower Bow, possessing extremely high explosive power and excelling at long-range attacks; Chen Fei, on the other hand, is a defensive soul master who constructs a solid defensive line using soul tools. The two engaged in a tug-of-war of long-range offense and defense, with Tang Xiaolei unleashing five soul skills in succession to barely suppress Chen Fei, who employed a soul-guided artillery tactic.

His fourth and fifth soul skills were blocked by Chen Fei's invincible shield, but fortunately he had a backup plan. His third soul skill, "Three Purple Beads in a Row," precisely penetrated the defensive gap, and he ultimately won by a narrow margin. Both of them suffered minor injuries in this battle, but fortunately, it will not affect their subsequent competitions.

Ran Yu watched the exciting and fierce match from outside. The soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire broadened Ran Yu's horizons. They casually pulled out dozens of cannons and bombarded Sister Mengdi and Tang Xiaolei with all their might. It was hateful, but they were indeed powerful.

If I were to face them alone, would my elemental power be able to match their soul tools?

Will my burst attack be able to break through their invincible shield?

Ran Yu fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed slightly. Seeing her brother Ran Yu watching the game so intently, Xi'er stopped clinging to him and obediently stayed in her seat, starting to make various flowers to prepare for treating her teammates.

The sweet, gentle fragrance emanating from her attracted two or three young children nearby. The little ones babbled and reached out their tiny hands, curiously wanting to touch the flowers. Hua Xi'er smiled gently and distributed the flowers in her hands to the children. Surrounded by the sweet fragrance, the children quickly closed their eyes and drifted into a peaceful dream.

As she watched the children sleeping soundly, Hua Xi'er's thoughts drifted away.

Long ago, Luo Ranyu was often mesmerized by her floral fragrance. At that time, she took the opportunity to wrap his body and soul with her own spiritual energy, protecting him from the pursuit of the otherworldly night demons and succubi.

Although Luo Ranyu has developed some immunity to his floral scent, in the past two years, whenever she nestles in his arms or holds his arm in the quiet of the night, she can always quietly sense his spiritual sea.

As a princess from another world said, there was another guardian spirit in his spiritual sea. She, like him, belonged to the spirit race, but came from a different world, and her cultivation was far beyond his reach.

However, after the great war ten thousand years ago, the princess could no longer sense the existence of the spirit girl. She could only sense Ran Yu's soul, which had not been taken away by the evil forces. His remnant soul still existed somewhere in this world.

Guided by the goddess, she finally found him at Zhengtian Academy.

Unsure whether the fairy sister was still alive, this kind-hearted girl silently took on the responsibility of protecting his soul, day after day, without ever letting up.
