Chapter 1703
As he witnessed Yuanen Yehui slaying the water-dwelling soul beasts in the river with ease, he couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. The powers that she was displaying were clearly different from the records! Why did she possess such fearsome darkness power? Could it be that she was an Evil Soul Master?
The purplish-black black was still spreading through the river, and all of the weaker water-dwelling soul beasts it came into contact with were instantly reduced to specks of light. There were also some powerful amphibious soul beasts that hurriedly rushed out of the water, and some of them charged directly toward Yuanen Yehui, while the rest quickly fled into the distance.
Right at this moment, a massive pillar of water suddenly erupted into the heavens in the distance within the river alongside a powerful aura.
As the river that separated the two sections of the Battle God Arena, there were some powerful soul beasts residing in its waters, such as this one.
At the very top of that massive pillar of water hovered a giant crab-like soul beast that was over six meters wide and over four meters tall. This was a 10,000-year-old Steel Pincer Crab, which was the ruler of this section of the river, and it was waving its giant pincers to display its fury.
The Steel Claw Crab's small eyes swiveled around and almost instantly locked onto Yuanen Yehui.
Immediately thereafter, pillars of water quickly erupted out of the river, forming a bridge that the Steel Pincer Crab was able to quickly cross on its eight long legs, charging toward Yuanen Yehui as it brandished its massive pincers.
As the two drew closer and closer, the Steel Pincer Crab spread open its metallic black pincers, and fearsome soul power fluctuations erupted forth. The Steel Pincer Crab was renowned for its incredible strength and defensive capabilities, and its pincers could easier slice through uncommon metals.
In this region, there was no water-dwelling soul beast that was a match for it, and it was currently furious that so many of its brethren had been slain.
Right at this moment, a beam of starlight descended from the heavens and fell upon its body with unerring accuracy. As a result, the Steel Pincer Crab was instantly stopped in its tracks, and it plummeted straight down from the pillars of water.
A streak of purplish-golden light then flashed through the air in a glorious arc, and the Steel Pincer Crab's body was instantly immobilized in mid-air.
Yuanen Yehui had just flown past it, and she turned around before thrusting her palm onto the shell on the Steel Pincer Crab's back.
Purplish-golden light was injected into its body in the form of a vortex, and in the next instant, a resounding boom rang out as the Steel Pincer Crab's entire body exploded into countless pieces, while a burst of dense energy proliferated out of its body in all directions.
Yuanen Yehui nodded with a pleased expression.
"As expected, the 10,000-year-old soul beasts still provide the best enhancements.
"
Meanwhile, Xu Xiaoyan withdrew her Star Staff, and chuckled,
"That's true, but don't you feel like all of the soul beast here are very stupid? I wonder how the Battle God Hall programmed to be so oblivious to danger. They could clearly sense how powerful we are, yet they still dared to attack us; what a bunch of idiots!
"
Nangong Yi was struck by a sense of indignation upon hearing this. Was she calling the soul beasts idiots or was she referring to the Battle Gods?
In any case, he was even more convinced that he couldn't go out to confront them now. He was well aware of just how powerful that 10,000-year-old Steel Pincer Crab was. He could defeat it on his own, but definitely not this quickly. It was clear that Yuanen Yehui's companion was a control system Soul Master, and a partnership formed by a control system Soul Master and an assault system Soul Master had always been the most dangerous one in the Soul Master world. Nangong Yi knew his own limits very well, and he decided to continue to lurk in the shadows.
Right at this moment, a burst of light erupted into the heavens in the direction of the middle path, then exploded into a pink halo in the sky.
Yuanen Yehui's heart jolted upon seeing this.
"Something's gone wrong on the middle path!
"
There was no way to use soul communicators in this plane, so everyone had been given an SOS signal flare by Ling Zichen in advance. It was clear that this flare had been set off on the middle path, which meant that Ling Zichen was in trouble.
"Let's go!
" Yuanen Yehui immediately flapped her wings and flew toward the middle path without any hesitation, followed closely by Xu Xiaoyan.
Nangong Yi could naturally see what they were doing, but at a time like this, he didn't dare to venture into enemy territory alone.
Indeed, something had gone wrong on the middle path.
After playing his zither for a while, Mo Zihong discovered that Ling Zichen hadn't moved the entire time, and he was growing rather perplexed. Thus, he unleashed the first attack, releasing a burst of soundwaves directly toward Ling Zichen.
After crossing a distance of over 100 meters, the soundwaves were already significantly weakened, but Ling Zichen was in a semi-unconscious state, rendering her unable to evade, and thus, she was struck head-on by the attack.
Even with the protective barrier to dull the impact, she was still sent flying back over 10 meters before landing on the ground using the mecha's internal stabilization system. The impact had completely jarred her awake, and she immediately set off her flare.
Mo Zihong was a seasoned veteran on the battlefield, and it instantly became clear to him that his opponent had fallen under his control.
Thus, he didn't hesitate any longer as he released a string of seven aggressive soundwaves, all of which were of a light purple color.
The soundwaves crashed into one another in succession, resulting in six subsequent bouts of acceleration, and once the final acceleration was complete, the seven soundwaves had combined to form a massive soundwave that was traveling at an incredible speed, reaching Ling Zichen right at the height of its power. This was an exceptional display of control.
At this moment, Ling Zichen was feeling very frustrated. She had always been very confident in the notion that she was no less powerful than any Titled Douluo, and that was what had given her the confidence to spar with Tang Wulin.
However, now that she was actually coming into contact with Titled Douluos, she discovered that relying on a mecha alone had many drawbacks. Ultimately, a mecha couldn't completely replace a Soul Master's powers, and there were still many improvements that had to be made.
Her mecha was unique in that it contained a multitude of source positive circulation cores, making it far more powerful than the average soul tool, but even so, she couldn't contend with a truly powerful Soul Master unless she resorted to self-detonation.
The soundwave was already upon her, and she could only cross the arms of her mecha and maximize the power of her protective barrier to shield herself.
"Boom!
"
Ling Zichen was sent flying by the soundwave, and Mo Zihong was already crossing the river. During his flight, he carried his zither in one hand and played it with the other, unleashing soundwaves into the river down below to keep the water-dwelling soul beasts at bay while flying toward Ling Zichen at a high speed.
He had already determined that Ling Zichen was the weakest link in the Shrek Academy camp, and if he could defeat her quickly, then the battle would be as good as won.
Only after being sent flying for several dozens of meters did Ling Zichen manage to just barely stabilize herself, and the powerful soundwave had even left some marks on the surface of her mecha. At the same time, the protective barrier was rippling incessantly.
Right at this moment, specks of dazzling light appeared all over her mecha, and a fearsome aura erupted forth.
Ling Zichen's powers were certainly completely lackluster, but this was the most powerful mecha in existence, and it was not to be underestimated!
