Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 103 Entering the semifinals
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qian Yuan, the King of the Terrorclaw Bear War Spirit, suddenly took a step forward. A phantom of a giant bear that was more than three meters tall slowly solidified. At the front of the giant bear's particularly strong arms, there were five huge claws, each two feet long.

"Fourth soul skill, tearing claws!"

Qian Yuan leaped up and slapped Ma Xiaotao in the air. To buy time for his companions to collect the parts, he had no choice but to do so.

"Hmph! The fourth soul skill, who are you looking down on?" Flames rose around Ma Xiaotao, and the terrifying fire wave that had reached its extreme fire directly repelled Qian Yuan who jumped out.

"The fourth soul skill, Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike!"

The phoenix's wings suddenly flapped violently, and Ma Xiaotao dived at an extremely fast speed, as if she was going all in. The moment she landed, the remaining six members of the Douling Team felt a burning sensation all over their bodies, and the soul power in their bodies seemed to be burning. The soul skills they had been brewing disintegrated in an instant, and their bodies were completely stiff.

Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike, a powerful attack and defense combined control soul skill. Ma Xiaotao's fourth soul skill. With the enhancement of Phoenix Rising in Fire and Phoenix Wings Flying in the Sky, its power is by no means inferior to any ten thousand year soul skill.

The Douling Team also reacted quickly. Although they didn't have time to release their soul skills, they still had other means. A ball of golden light flashed on the chests of the six people, and a golden light shield immediately covered his body.

Huo Yuhao on the viewing platform immediately shouted, "Disposable soul guide, invincible shield. They are Soul Kings, so the shield can last at least three seconds."

The Invincible Shield, a soul guide, was developed based on an extremely rare soul skill, requiring a golden crystal from the Sun-Moon Empire as a medium. With the soul power injected into the core array, the Invincible Shield could instantly unleash the energy within the golden crystal, generating a powerful defensive force.

The so-called invincibility is, of course, relative. The lowest level of invincibility shield is a level five soul guide, which means that it requires at least the soul power of a Soul King to activate. A level five invincibility shield can block attacks from any soul master below the level of an eight-ringed Soul Douluo for three seconds, while a level six invincibility shield can even defend against attacks from ordinary Titled Douluo for as much as three seconds. As for invincibility shields above level seven, they are extremely rare.

The soul guide device, the Invincible Shield, can be regarded as a life-saving treasure at certain times. Therefore, it is ranked alongside the milk bottle as the soul master's favorite soul guide device and is in short supply.

However, the invincibility shield also has obvious drawbacks. The first is its high price. A level 5 invincibility shield starts at 100,000 Gold Soul Coins, and the actual transaction price is far higher. While the invincibility shield itself isn't too difficult to craft, the production of gold crystals is extremely limited. The higher the level of the invincibility shield, the higher the quality of the gold crystals required.

More importantly, no matter what level the invincibility shield was, it was a single-use consumable. Once used, the golden crystal within it would immediately explode, destroying the invincibility shield soul guide itself. Therefore, this item was not something that ordinary soul masters could afford. Soul guides who possessed a source of golden crystals were, without exception, extremely wealthy.

The situation at hand was clear. All Soul King-level members of the Douling Team were equipped with invincible shields. The cost was quite terrifying! Not every academy was as wealthy as Shrek and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly, and her inky black sixth spirit ring shone brightly. Suddenly, the protective shield surrounding the arena, formed by the 108 spirit masters, trembled violently. Large swathes of red light condensed within the shield, and the temperature of the entire arena soared dramatically.

The sixth soul skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower, fell from the sky, and huge burning flaming meteors fell towards the Douling Team.

The invincible shield, which had not yet expired, was shattered into pieces by Ma Xiaotao's sixth soul skill, and the remaining six people immediately fell into chaos.

"Give up, give up, we give up!" Gu Zhujian cried heartbreakingly. He would never again dare challenge the unknown strength and identity of the various academy leaders. The entire match didn't require any action from the other five Shrek members. Wu Xuan's enhanced fortune, combined with Ma Xiaotao's unparalleled strength, directly crushed the so-called top four teams from the previous competition.

competition is over!

"This is Shrek, the Shrek with a powerful burst. However, the Douling Team is also good. Unfortunately, they met the wrong opponent." This is the evaluation of His Majesty the Xingluo Emperor.

Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

Xiao Hongchen rarely showed his arrogant side. He stood beside Ma Rulong and whispered, "Captain, have you figured it out? What exactly is Wu Xuan's first soul skill? How did it make that Shrek woman so much more powerful?"

Ma Rulong's expression was also gloomy. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and replied, "It should be an amplification spirit skill. I didn't expect the so-called ultimate spirit to be so powerful. However, this Douling team should not be underestimated. If other teams used this tactic, they might not be able to match it."

Xiao Hongchen nodded slightly. "Auxiliary soul skills? It's really surprising that someone like him would choose auxiliary soul skills. But what surprised me the most was the Douling team. No wonder they gave up the first place in the group."

Ma Rulong frowned and said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, their Thunder Cannon should be a copy of our Mingde Hall's. It's just that they can't match the craftsmanship of the Thunder Cannon, so they enlarged it. The larger the size, the simpler the manufacturing process. That's why it takes seven people to operate it."

Xiao Hongchen nodded and said, "That should be the case. It seems that the Douling Empire has made considerable progress in the production of soul guides. However, they probably didn't expect to encounter Shrek Academy so soon, and their tactics were countered."

Meng Hongchen said somewhat indignantly, "That Wu Xuan's soul skills are truly bizarre. Otherwise, with the powerful attack power of the Thunder Cannon, a level seven soul guide, even if they had two Soul Emperors, they wouldn't be able to stop it."

Ma Lao stood up and looked at the information in his hand. He couldn't help but feel worried. He sighed and said, "I have recorded and analyzed the strength information and soul skills of the other Shrek contestants, including today's Ma Xiaotao, for several pages. But this Wu Xuan, except for his third soul skill and the skills of his two soul bones, I have analyzed his first two soul skills more thoroughly. Let alone the fourth soul skill that has been hidden all this time."

Meng Hongchen turned to look at Elder Ma and said seriously, "Elder Ma, no matter how mysterious Wu Xuan is, he is just a Soul Sect after all. We shouldn't focus too much on him."

Xiao Hongchen stood up and stared at Wu Xuan intently, saying word by word, "Sister! You don't understand. The captain and I fully approve of what Mr. Ma did. The unknown is the most dangerous, and my sixth sense tells me that he will be my lifelong enemy."

"To defeat the enemy of a lifetime, isn't that just the ultimate martial spirit? What's so great about that?" Meng Hongchen muttered in a low voice.

"Xiao, you have grown up and become a little different from yourself." Ma Rulong on the side smiled with relief.

"Captain! People grow, don't they?"
