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

Luo Ranyu used her fire sword to parry and deflect attacks, but Meng Hongchen was unable to harm her, as she blocked his attacks every time. So Meng Hongchen started throwing out some soul-guided bombs.

At first, Luo Ranyu was indeed affected by those soul-guided bombs, which caused a significant amount of his purple lightning shield to be depleted, since he didn't use his battle soul mastery skill very often.

As the opponent's moves changed, Luo Ranyu also made adjustments. When Meng Hongchen threw another soul-guided bomb, Luo Ranyu tried her best to dodge, or summoned a solid ice shield. The ice shield, simply condensed from soul power, could effectively block the explosive damage of the small soul-guided cannon.

Ran Yu had previously watched other Soul Masters' competitions, and their Soul Tools were nothing more than releasing various cannonballs and beams. Luo Ran Yu had done some research on this and had already thought of various countermeasures.

Luo Ranyu has now completed the test of her soul skill. She flashed 17 times in a row within the range of Ice Refraction, which means that she does not consume much soul power when she releases teleportation within the range of her soul skill. Moreover, her agility will also increase by about 30 to 50% during this period.

So, is she only able to teleport within this range?

With this question in mind, Luo Ranyu leaped out of the range of the ice refraction and then carefully observed Meng Hongchen's movements.

He realized that Meng Hongchen was no longer using teleportation to attack him, and instantly understood.

"As expected, she can only teleport within that range! Hmph! So, if I destroy the ice beneath her feet, will her amplification effect still apply?"

Just as Luo Ranyu was about to explore the effects of her soul skill further, she saw Meng Hongchen leap high into the air, and five soul rings on her body quickly rose up. The one that lit up was her first soul ring.

She thought to herself, "Damn it, I can't find any other opportunity, so I have to force this move! But I must do it discreetly, so he doesn't realize my intentions!"

Even with only an ice sword left in her hand, Meng Hongchen still wielded her soul power with fluid ease. She swung the ice sword, and the phantom of her pure white Crimson Ice Toad martial soul slowly emerged around her, a chilling aura intertwined with poisonous mist—"Ice Toad Poison!"

With a soft shout, a cloud of dark green poisonous mist swept out and quickly drifted toward Luo Ranyu. Wherever the poisonous mist passed, the air showed faint signs of corrosion.

Outside the arena, Hua Xi'er frowned, her face full of doubt, and asked softly, "Strange! Wasn't it said that the Ice Toad Poison was no longer effective against Brother Luo Ranyu? Why is she still using this trick?"

Jin Zhongyue and Xue Qianluo remained silent, their gazes fixed intently on the arena, not daring to relax for a moment. But when they saw Meng Hongchen's fifth spirit ring quietly light up amidst the dense poisonous fog, their expressions changed drastically, and they suddenly realized:

"Oh no! She's trying to use the poisonous mist from the Ice Toad Venom as cover to secretly unleash her powerful fifth soul skill!"

Inside the arena, Luo Ranyu initially didn't realize anything as the poisonous fog spread, as the white ice toad poison somewhat obscured her vision.

At this moment, some spectators outside the arena saw rings of icy blue light rising from the toad poison mist ahead, forming a vortex. Red light flickered within it, just like her Ice Toad Poison. The blazing flames were hidden within the icy vortex, waiting for the release of the Ice Soul Power to suddenly emerge and inflict extreme burning pain on the opponent.

Meng Hongchen's fifth soul skill, named Ice and Fire Poison Dragon Drill, is a soul skill formed by the combination of her ten-thousand-year soul ring, the level six soul tool on her hand, and the level six soul tool armor on her body. Its power is strong enough to rival the soul skills of a level sixty-plus Soul Emperor.

Even though she no longer had the fire sword, she still resolutely used this move because she could find no other way to defeat Luo Ranyu. Her Ice Toad Poison had been broken by Luo Ranyu, which forced her to fight Luo Ranyu head-on.

However, Ran Yu's reaction speed was too fast. Within the range of the ice refraction, he dodged or blocked her attacks more than ten times in a row, and he showed no signs of panic. Furthermore, various soul-guided bombs could not cause him any substantial damage, and he even disarmed her. She tried her best to suppress her embarrassment, after all, being disarmed was a very shameful thing.

At this moment, Meng Hongchen recalled how Luo Ranyu always achieved unexpected results when borrowing swords from her teammates. For example, the first time she borrowed Yu Mengdi's Holy Sword, she defeated two Soul Masters from Shrek Academy in a one-against-two battle.

The second time, he borrowed Xue Qianluo's Aurora Sword and used the so-called Martial Soul Fusion Technique, which directly laid the foundation for the team's victory.

Now he's holding a sword he "borrowed" from her, isn't he? Who knows what kind of incredible feats he might pull off next!

A series of events have forced Meng Hongchen to take a desperate gamble and unleash his strongest attack, mobilizing all his soul power.

Luo Ranyu absorbed the Ice Toad Poison from the poisonous fog once more, dividing it into ice and fire soul power to strengthen his own fire, ice, and lightning elemental martial soul power. However, he was also puzzled: Didn't he already know that the Ice Toad Poison was ineffective against him? Could this Ice Toad Poison be different from the previous one? *Hiss*, I can't feel it. Although the concentration is higher, it still can't penetrate my body...

As the concentration of the poisonous fog increased, Meng Hongchen's figure began to become blurry. This inevitably alerted Luo Ranyu. After all, who would remain relaxed once they realized their opponent had disappeared?

They're not stupid. You see, the Void Phase of his first martial soul grants him even greater mental probing abilities.

Soon, Luo Ranyu noticed something was wrong. To the naked eye, Meng Hongchen was no longer visible, but her spiritual power could sense that she was mobilizing a large amount of soul power. Her martial soul and soul rings were also glowing again, clearly indicating that she was trying to do something under the cover of the poisonous fog.

Luo Ranyu smiled slightly, somewhat admiring her intelligence and wit, but her eyes quickly turned cold, and she held her fire sword in front of her.

A faint, invisible wave emanated from her body. No spirit rings lit up because she was in the void phase. Releasing the three spirit skills of the void phase did not require the spirit rings to light up. This was one of the characteristics of Luo Ranyu's three-phase martial soul.

At this moment, Luo Ranyu was using the second soul skill of Void Phase, Time Reversal! Luo Ranyu had used it in a team battle before.

Time Reversal: After casting, it adds a layer of time-lapse spell to nearby teammates, reducing their charging time, increasing their soul skill release speed by 100%, and increasing their speed by 20%. After a certain period of time, the timer ends, and then instantly returns 30% of the soul power consumed by the teammates during the time.

This is clearly a god-tier skill for team battles, but Luo Ranyu tried to compress the casting range of the soul skill so that it would only affect herself.

Initially, it was to conserve soul power when using this soul skill in one-on-one battles. However, she not only successfully learned to control the release range of the soul skill, but also discovered that when the release range of the soul skill was compressed, not only was the soul power consumption reduced, but the effect was also enhanced. Now, when Ran Yu applies its effect to herself, she can increase the soul skill release speed by 150%, and the soul power returned after six seconds is also 40%!

So what is Luo Ranyu trying to do by releasing this soul skill?

At this moment, Luo Ranyu's soul power rapidly circulated, and her Three-Phase Martial Soul and Three-Element Martial Soul simultaneously appeared behind her. The Three-Phase Martial Soul displayed a Void Phase, while the Three-Element Martial Soul's fire element blazed with a fierce flame three zhang high. Luo Ranyu's pupils were tinged with a seemingly empty purple outline, yet within them shimmered with intense firelight.

Under his stern expression, his lips finally moved.

"Soul Fusion!"

The ethereal voice resonated throughout the arena once more, sending chills down everyone's spine.

"What? Martial Soul Fusion?"

"That's impossible!"

"Tch, they're definitely trying to cover something up. Saying it's spirit fusion? That's hilarious!"

"Idiot! You wouldn't say that after watching that game!"

The audience was buzzing with discussion.
