Tang Xiaolei's third arrow was ready, and seeing Shi Yu approach him and leap into the air, he decisively shot out the arrow transformed from a thousand-year Soul Ring.
The third arrow was even more powerful and faster.
It arrived almost instantly, and Shi Yu was about to be hit.
It was at this moment that Shi Yu disappeared with Naruto's Instant Transmission, dodging the third arrow.
Tang Xiaolei's expression changed, and he focused his vigilance behind him.
Then, Shi Yu appeared in front of him and to his left, unleashing a violent punch, using a considerable amount of Space power.
At the same time, the Eight Spider Lances also stabbed towards Tang Xiaolei.
Tang Xiaolei responded in a panic, blocking Shi Yu's incoming punch with his Purple Glaze Bow.
Two of the Eight Spider Lances were also blocked by the Purple Glaze Bow, but the other Eight Spider Lances landed on him, causing him to show a pained expression.
Tang Xiaolei quickly pulled his body away, avoiding further penetration from the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone.
While bouncing back, he shot out his fourth arrow, which split into many arrows covering Shi Yu, making it difficult for him to dodge.
Shi Yu stepped back in the air, disappeared with Naruto's Instant Transmission, and all these arrows missed their mark.
Shi Yu's Naruto's Instant Transmission interval was very short, only about a fifth of a second, and that time had already passed.
Tang Xiaolei thought Shi Yu might not be able to recover in time to use Naruto's Instant Transmission and thus launched the attack, but he clearly overthought it.
This time, Shi Yu's Naruto's Instant Transmission brought him directly closer to Tang Xiaolei, and the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone stabbed out once again.
Tang Xiaolei endured the discomfort in his body and drew the bowstring at the fastest speed, shooting out the fifth arrow. This was also his fifth Soul Skill, a ten-thousand-year level fifth Soul Skill.
Shi Yu was prepared and guessed that the opponent might do this. He immediately changed his move, putting the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone in a defensive posture to block this arrow.
"Clang" The sound of metal colliding rang out. The power of this arrow was extraordinary, and one of Shi Yu's Eight Spider Lances was knocked away by the powerful impact.
The other Eight Spider Lances were also continuously pushed away; the arrow's power made it somewhat difficult for the Eight Spider Lances to block.
Shi Yu's expression changed slightly, but he didn't panic. Using the time gained by the Eight Spider Lances, he used Naruto's Instant Transmission and disappeared from his original spot.
The arrow passed through the spot where he had been, quickly shot towards the barrier, and then suddenly turned just before touching it, flying towards Shi Yu who had appeared in another spot.
Shi Yu's heart tightened when he saw the arrow turn and shoot towards him. As expected, the opponent's Soul Skill had a tracking effect.
Shi Yu disappeared again with Naruto's Instant Transmission, dodging the incoming arrow once more, appearing near the edge of the barrier.
The arrow turned and shot towards him, still possessing considerable power.
Shi Yu disappeared with Naruto's Instant Transmission at the very last moment, just as the arrow was about to hit him.
Tang Xiaolei tried hard to control the arrow to make it turn again, but this time it was too close to the barrier and didn't have time, hitting the barrier instead.
The arrow hadn't truly lost its power and wasn't shattered; it still had residual power and was about to turn to continue tracking Shi Yu.
"This match should be over," Shi Yu's voice sounded behind Tang Xiaolei, making the latter's body tremble.
Tang Xiaolei could feel a sharp object pressed against his back, and he knew what it was without needing to think.
Tang Xiaolei sadly dispersed his fifth Soul Skill. Indeed, there was no need for this match to continue.
"I surrender," Tang Xiaolei wisely conceded, feeling quite defeated.
Facing Shi Yu, his performance was definitely not good; he couldn't even injure him.
Shi Yu also helped extract the Eight Spider Lances toxin from Tang Xiaolei's body and incidentally siphoned off some life force from within him.
The amount wasn't much, not enough to cause the opponent significant life force loss.
Tang Xiaolei gave Shi Yu a complicated look before consciously walking off the competition stage.
The audience cheered again, this time shouting 'one-versus-seven', hoping to see Shi Yu defeat all seven people from Zheng Tian Academy by himself.
On Shrek Academy's side, Jiang Nannan, Zhang Lexuan, and Xuan Lao were all quite happy, looking forward to Shi Yu directly defeating Zheng Tian Academy.
Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao were also somewhat happy, yet felt a bit complicated, feeling that Shi Yu was too dazzling and they themselves were somewhat dispensable.
The last person from Zheng Tian Academy's side, and also the strongest, Ye Wuqing, walked onto the competition stage with a heavy expression.
As the last person to appear, he felt immense pressure. If he also lost, Zheng Tian Academy would lose a lot of face.
Losing to Shrek Academy wasn't actually a shameful thing; even being defeated one-versus-seven was acceptable.
But if it was a one-versus-seven defeat by someone at the Soul Grandmaster level, that would be too shameful.
"I absolutely cannot lose," Ye Wuqing clenched his fists, his expression resolute.
He released his Martial Soul, revealing a Soul Power fluctuation even stronger than Tang Xiaolei's, also with five optimally matched Soul Rings.
A golden leaf spun around his body; this was his Martial Soul, Golden Leaf.
Looking at Ye Wuqing, Shi Yu's fighting spirit was also quite strong. Now, with less than 40% of his Soul Power remaining, he wasn't sure if he could defeat this person.
He didn't have complete confidence, mainly because this person's abilities somewhat countered his own, making them not easy to deal with.
"Match Start!" The Referee announced the start of the match.
Ye Wuqing's first and third Soul Rings lit up almost simultaneously.
First Soul Skill, Leaf Blade. After this Soul Skill was released, the Golden Leaf became hard and sharp, like a sharp blade.
The release of this Soul Skill made his Golden Leaf more threatening.
Third Soul Skill, Leaf Array. Many sharp Golden Leaves appeared, rotating around him, covering an area of two to three meters around him. Anyone who approached would inevitably be continuously cut by the Golden Leaves.
Shi Yu felt a headache seeing the opponent release two Soul Skills right from the start; his idea of a sudden attack to catch the opponent off guard fell through.
I can't just use Naruto's Instant Transmission over there now; going there would be asking for trouble.
He felt that the opponent's abilities somewhat countered his own because he knew the opponent had this ability. Area-of-effect skills are actually quite effective against him.
Ye Wuqing held a few Golden Leaves in his hand and threw them out using a technique he had refined himself.
These Golden Leaves shot towards Shi Yu along different trajectories, their speed increased, and because the leaves were thin, it was easy to overlook them if one wasn't paying attention when they flew over.
Shi Yu disappeared with Naruto's Instant Transmission, easily dodging the incoming Golden Leaves.
He appeared in the air, moving through the air. This scene made many people exclaim in surprise: Shi Yu didn't have wings, yet he could fly?
This was the first time Shi Yu had displayed his flying ability.
Ye Wuqing was also stunned, clearly not expecting Shi Yu to be able to fly when his Martial Soul didn't have flight capabilities.
"Imperial Sky Technique," Shi Yu's first Soul Ring lit up. This was also the first time he had used his own Soul Skill.
In previous battles, he hadn't used any of his own Soul Skills, winning solely by relying on some basic abilities.
Seeing Shi Yu use his first Soul Skill, Ye Wuqing felt a chill in his heart, becoming extremely vigilant and increasing the number of Golden Leaves rotating around him.
Shi Yu raised his hands towards Ye Wuqing's hands, seemingly lifting something.
Ye Wuqing was taken aback. What did the opponent's action mean?
