Chapter 175: The Domain of Life
Facing the seven Soul Kings from Nine Stars Academy, Xie Yue and Hu Liena unleashed their most powerful move immediately—their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Enchanting Charm.
A crimson veil spread across the arena, enveloping nearly half of it in red mist. Within this mist, Xie Yue and Hu Liena had already fused into one entity in a matter of seconds. Through the hazy red glow, a figure with flowing long hair, indistinguishable in gender, could vaguely be seen.
This figure wielded a pair of crescent moon blades, each enlarged to twice their normal size, shimmering with a radiant glow at the ends of their outstretched arms. As the crimson light surged, the merged figure vanished into the dense mist.
The team from Nine Stars Academy was completely engulfed in the mist.
"Excellent!"
Seeing the seven opponents from Nine Stars Academy caught off guard by the red mist, Yan couldn't help but cheer.
As Xie Yue and Hu Liena's closest teammate, he was well aware of the capabilities of Enchanting Charm.
The mist released by Enchanting Charm contained a blend of hostility and hypnotic energy. Within its domain, all sensory perceptions were reduced by 50%, soul power suppressed by 50%, and movements slowed by 50%.
Additionally, only Xie Yue and Hu Liena, the casters of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, could see clearly within the mist.
Under such harsh conditions, even opponents of the same level as Xie Yue and Hu Liena would almost certainly lose. Yan himself, as part of the Golden Generation and their frequent sparring partner, could only take a beating in this mist.
With the addition of the radiant golden staff as support, Enchanting Charm had power comparable to that of a high-level Soul Emperor.
For a moment, even Bibi Dong's face showed a hint of pride. It seemed the young Soul Kings of Nine Stars Hall had little real combat experience or tactical skill despite their high cultivation. Otherwise, how could they have been caught so easily by the red mist? After all, Enchanting Charm had been showcased once before during the Spirit Hall Academy's match against Godwind Academy.
However, amidst the excitement of the Spirit Hall spectators, a faint white halo suddenly rose from within the red mist. It spun and expanded in mid-air, gradually dispersing the red mist as it spread outward.
In the end, only Enchanting Charm itself remained standing on the stage.
"A domain?"
Bibi Dong exclaimed, her gaze fixed on Ye Lingling, who stood at the rear of the Nine Stars Academy team.
The white halo was none other than Ye Lingling's Domain of Life. Within this domain, all allied Soul Masters had their soul power recovery rate increased by 50%, while negative effects such as paralysis, weakness, poison, and burns were neutralized or significantly weakened.
Since the red mist created by Enchanting Charm was merely a feature of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill and not a true soul skill, it was completely negated by Ye Lingling's Domain of Life.
Ning Fengzhi, watching from the stands, grew even more apprehensive as he observed Ye Lingling on the stage.
In terms of capabilities, Nine Heart Begonia was not inferior to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Its innate flaws, however, kept it from threatening the Pagoda's position as the premier support martial soul.
But now, Ye Lingling's display of domain-level power clearly exceeded the usual limits of Nine Heart Begonia.
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but think of his daughter, Ning Rongrong. She and Ye Lingling were close in age, but with the talent and abilities Ye Lingling had shown, would his daughter be able to maintain her position as the number one support in the future?
Sigh!
This thought brought Ning Fengzhi's gaze to Xiao Yu in Nine Stars Academy's rest area. If not for Xiao Yu's presence, he wouldn't hesitate to eliminate this future rival for his daughter.
The last time he had meddled with Tang San and the hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, the price had been four spirit bones, each over fifty thousand years old. If he touched Xiao Yu's woman, Ning Fengzhi didn't even want to imagine how many Titled Douluo powerhouses would descend upon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
On the stage, both Xie Yue and Hu Liena, who had fused into Enchanting Charm, and Yan's five teammates in the rear were stunned by the mist's sudden dispersal.
They were all well aware of how devastating the red mist of Enchanting Charm was to enemies. Ordinary Soul Masters caught in it had no hope of escape, yet Nine Stars Academy had neutralized it so effortlessly.
"Third soul skill, Thunder Shackles!"
The moment Enchanting Charm's form reappeared, Eden unleashed his third soul skill. Bolts of deep blue lightning coalesced into chains, binding Enchanting Charm in place.
"Third soul skill, Infernal Cyclone!"
"Third soul skill, Ascending Dragon Strike!"
"Third soul skill, Holy Flame of the Vast Sky!"
As Eden trapped Enchanting Charm, the three assault-type Soul Kings launched their attacks simultaneously. Three beams of light shot toward Enchanting Charm with blinding speed.
"Quick, provide support!"
Yan snapped back to reality and roared, charging forward. He slammed his right arm into the ground, unleashing his strongest fifth soul skill, Blazing Sands Inferno.
In front of Yi Hui and the other two attackers, several towering magma pillars imbued with dual fire and earth attributes erupted from the ground, instantly engulfing them.
"Nana, Xie Yue, retreat now!"
Facing three Soul Kings on the opposing side, Yan didn't expect his fifth soul skill to eliminate all three. His goal was simply to buy time for his goddess, Hu Liena, and future brother-in-law, Xie Yue, to retreat.
The Spirit Hall team's support-type Soul Master also activated their full power. In addition to the first and third soul skills already applied to Enchanting Charm, the second and fourth soul rings lit up, flooding Enchanting Charm with an overwhelming surge of soul power.
Reinforced by this support, Enchanting Charm broke free from Eden's third soul skill. With a forceful push off the ground, they retreated rapidly, regrouping with Yan, the strongest member of their team.
However, at that moment, Yi Hui, Zi Long, and Cang Mo emerged from the blazing inferno of Yan's fifth soul skill. Spotting Enchanting Charm reunited with Yan, they exchanged knowing smiles.
"This isn't good—it's a trap!"
Enchanting Charm, being a control-oriented fusion skill, possessed incredibly heightened spiritual perception. In an instant, they sensed the concealed satisfaction in the opposing trio's expressions and realized something was wrong.
"Where are their agility-type Soul Masters?"
Spreading their spiritual senses, Enchanting Charm quickly discovered that Rong Dou and Yuna, who had been standing beside Eden moments ago, had vanished.
"Damn it, protect the support Soul Master!"
Enchanting Charm immediately turned and shouted toward the three Soul Ancestor teammates rushing to their aid.
But it was too late.
Rong Dou, in his wolf transformation, had already appeared in front of the golden staff-wielding support-type Soul Master. With all four of their soul skills designed to enhance teammates, the support-type Soul Master had no means of self-defense. Rong Dou's first soul skill alone was enough to knock them off the stage.
