Chapter 722 Qian Renxue: Is it good?
By this point, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.
Under the tremendous impact, the tall young man's body slammed heavily onto the ground, leaving him dazed and confused.
The intense pain in his chest and abdomen made him feel suffocated, and his body involuntarily contracted and arched, letting out a scream.
A short while later, his head lolled to the side, his eyes went dark, and he completely lost consciousness.
In this small match, Zhu Zhuqing won decisively!
Seeing this scene, many people couldn't help but gasp and couldn't bear to look.
After a brief moment of stillness, the air suddenly became scorching hot, and gasps and exclamations rose and fell in waves.
Not to mention the Royal Knights who had packed the competition venue to the brim, even the Soul Master Academy teams from the five kingdoms and duchies were speechless with astonishment.
Just like the second team of the Spirit Hall, the four teams from the Heaven Dou City region expected this and took it for granted.
From the start to the end of the match, it only takes a few moments.
The body lunges forward, the martial spirit is released and possessed, Shadow Escape combined with Meteor Phantom Movement, and the Netherworld Thrust skill is activated to defeat the opponent.
The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, without the slightest delay.
Zhu Zhuqing, relying on her own strength, gave her opponent no chance at all. Not to mention resisting, she didn't even give her opponent much time to react.
A Soul Master of level 40-something was perfectly defeated by her before he even had a chance to unleash his first Soul Skill.
From beginning to end, Zhu Zhuqing held the initiative in this battle.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing stood gracefully on the field, her hands on her hips, her face cold and her expression indifferent, as if she had not just dealt a heavy blow to her opponent, and winning the match seemed insignificant to her.
In contrast, the tall young man who had spoken rudely earlier had collapsed unconscious on the ground, his body still twitching.
Because his chest and abdomen were severely injured by the Netherworld Thrust, even while he was unconscious, something continued to gush from his mouth, accompanied by blood and filth.
Although it's not a serious injury, it will probably be difficult for him to participate in tomorrow's match.
Who told him to say those flirtatious things?
How could someone as strong-willed as Zhu Zhuqing tolerate you? Merely injuring him into unconsciousness was already a great favor and a show of mercy.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained as cold and aloof as ever, her eyes unwavering. She glanced at the other members of the Barak Academy team and said calmly:
"Next."
These three words were light and simple, but they felt like a heavy burden, pressing down on the Barak Academy team members and making them afraid to move.
At this moment, every member of the Barak Academy team looked extremely surprised, even filled with deep fear.
Although the tall young man lying on the ground was their captain, and the captain's serious injury, fainting and defeat made them angry, none of them dared to immediately step up and compete with Zhu Zhuqing.
The main reason was that Zhu Zhuqing's soul power aura was too terrifying. Her strength as a level 49 Soul Master far surpassed theirs.
What surprised them even more was the configuration of Zhu Zhuqing's spirit rings.
If it were just a standard-age spirit ring configuration, they wouldn't be too surprised. But the fact that the opponent's fourth spirit ring was a ten-thousand-year-level black spirit ring made them feel terrified.
It should be noted that the strongest member of the Barak Academy team is their captain, whose soul power is level 42.
Although the soul rings did not reach the standard configuration of yellow-yellow-purple-purple, they were still the best in the team with three yellow and one purple rings.
However, this captain, who seemed invincible to them, was completely outmatched by Zhu Zhuqing. He was utterly defeated before he could even block one of Zhu Zhuqing's soul skills.
Under the immense pressure from Zhu Zhuqing, the Barak Academy team members stopped almost simultaneously, their eyes filled with horror as they looked at her.
The captain of Barak Academy, who had fainted from serious injuries, was quickly carried away for treatment by the medical team prepared by the event organizing committee.
Zhu Zhuqing remained on the field, quietly waiting for her second opponent to take the stage.
However, Barak Academy seemed to be backing down, and did not send a second team member for a long time.
At this point, the referee couldn't stand it any longer and immediately stepped forward, loudly urging:
"Barak Academy, please send out your second member. Don't waste time."
"I'm warning you this time, don't do it again, otherwise I will disqualify you from the competition according to the established rules of the qualifying rounds."
The qualifying rounds are individual racing competitions with no rest time. After each one-on-one race, the loser must immediately be replaced to continue the race.
Of course, if the winning side does not wish to continue fighting, they can immediately make a substitution, but they must do so quickly.
In short, the substitution process should not take too long; it should be resolved within at least one minute.
Barak Academy has clearly exceeded the time limit and has therefore been urged and warned by the referee.
The referee's words had an effect, and the Barak Academy team immediately panicked. After all, in the qualifying rounds, not only is the overall score important, but the individual scores are also crucial.
Despite some fear of Zhu Zhuqing, Barak Academy gritted its teeth and sent out a second team member.
To the surprise of the audience, the second person from Barak Academy to step onto the stage was also a Soul Master of level 40 or above.
Although this player is not tall, he is very muscular, and you can clearly see the muscles bulging on his broad shoulders.
As soon as he stepped onto the stage, before the referee could announce the start of the match, the second player from Barak Academy had already released his martial soul, with four spirit rings—white, yellow, purple, and purple—quickly appearing beneath his feet.
His martial spirit is very unique; it is a flower.
With a red center, orange petals, and a shape resembling the sun, it is clearly a sunflower.
This also implies that the burly and robust male team member from Barak Academy is a plant-type weapon spirit master.
The sunflower is not considered a high-quality plant-type martial soul, but it possesses considerable control abilities, making it a strong counter to agility-based martial soul masters.
Wild sunflowers can also release a peculiar scent, along with a unique psychoactive toxin that renders enemies incapable of fighting. It is a peculiar psychoactive toxin.
Moreover, the sunflower is as hard as iron, and using it as a martial spirit can make it a weapon, combining the triple abilities of poison, attack, and control.
For a typical agility-based Soul Master, such an opponent would not be easy to deal with, but it was a different story for Zhu Zhuqing.
Looking at the sunflower that appeared in the other person's hand, Zhu Zhuqing's expression was not serious, but rather slightly strange.
The main problem is that the other person is clearly a big and strong guy, but he is holding a flower, which looks really funny.
Perhaps intimidated by Zhu Zhuqing's soul power and soul ring configuration, the students from Barak Academy who were on the opposite side appeared particularly nervous.
The moment his martial spirit was released, his first spirit ring also lit up.
The sunflower in his hand suddenly swelled in the wind, growing to a diameter of one meter in an instant, and the stem he held in his hand reached more than three meters, turning into a strange handheld weapon.
With a wave of his hand, a thick cloud of yellow mist was released from the sunflower and rushed towards Zhu Zhuqing.
Facing the approaching poisonous fog, Zhu Zhuqing remained calm, channeling her soul power to create a faint protective shield around her body.
Immediately, his figure became illusory, as if merging into the darkness, entering a shadow-遁 (Shadow Escape) state. His illusory wings flapped gently behind him, increasing his speed. Combined with the Meteor Illusionary Movement Technique, he followed the same method and charged straight at his opponent, just like in the previous match.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing could not retreat; she could only advance boldly and defeat her opponent in the shortest possible time.
After all, she lacked resistance to poison. Although the sunflower toxin from the other party wasn't particularly strong, it would still have some effect if inhaled.
In situations where both sides are of equal level, especially when their soul power is not significantly different, poison-attribute soul masters have a significant advantage.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing's soul power level far exceeds that of her opponent, and her own soul power is also strong enough. She doesn't need to worry about being poisoned by her opponent in a short time. She just needs to eliminate her opponent before the poison invades her lungs.
Zhu Zhuqing's goal was clear, but because of the previous experience, the Soul Master from Barak Academy was already on guard and dared not let Zhu Zhuqing get close to him.
The first two spirit rings on his body lit up at the same time, and the sunflower in his hand kept fanning, blowing puffs of yellow mist toward Zhu Zhuqing while also spreading a thick circle of poisonous mist around his body.
Clearly, one of his two spirit ring skills is to enlarge the sunflower, and the other is to release this poisonous mist.
The area covered by the poisonous fog began to grow larger and larger, but Zhu Zhuqing didn't care. Stepping on the illusionary traces, leaving a trail of afterimages, she rushed in.
The sunflowers had a strong fragrance, and Zhu Zhuqing smelled it as soon as she entered the poisonous fog. She immediately felt a tightness in her chest and her mind went blank.
However, under the suppression of soul power, it quickly recovered.
Seeing that his poison mist was ineffective, the Barak Academy team member was greatly alarmed and had no choice but to use his third soul skill.
With a half-turn of his body, he swung the sunflower out with a sudden burst of energy.
In an instant, countless pale yellow light spots poured out from the huge flower plate, enveloping a large area of Zhu Zhuqing's path with a powerful aura.
Dense yellow light spots enveloped Zhu Zhuqing as she rushed into the poisonous fog, striking her body, which was enveloped in black soul light, squarely.
However, before the male soul master could even rejoice, Zhu Zhuqing's figure, which had been struck by the yellow light, suddenly vanished.
"An afterimage? No, that's not right, it's a clone. Where did the person go?"
The male soul master froze, instantly realizing he had fallen into a trap. Just then, three cold, emotionless female voices rang out simultaneously behind and to his left and right:
"First Soul Skill, Netherworld Thrust!"
The battle-bound Soul Master from Barak Academy was immediately terrified, his spine tingling with fear. He immediately activated his other two Soul Rings, unleashing his third and fourth Soul Skills.
However, it was already too late.
Three black figures suddenly appeared, like ghosts walking in the darkness. They were Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Shadow Clone, and they attacked him simultaneously from behind and to the left and right.
First Soul Ring Skill, Nether Thrust, activated.
boom--
With a deafening roar, the Barak Academy member, who possessed the combat strength of a Soul Master, followed in the footsteps of their captain in the blink of an eye and fell into a complete coma.
However, Zhu Zhuqing still held back somewhat. When attacking her opponent, she slightly reduced her strength, only knocking her unconscious and rendering her unable to fight, without seriously injuring her.
After falling into a coma, the opponent's soul power instantly became ineffective, and the sunflower in his hand withered and faded quietly in the light.
As the sunflower in the opponent's hand withered, the toxins that were trying to erode Zhu Zhuqing's body were quickly suppressed and expelled, vanishing in no time.
The game started quickly and ended quickly.
Compared to the first match, this one was undoubtedly more intense, but it still couldn't stop Zhu Zhuqing's determination to win.
Zhu Zhuqing's consecutive defeats of two Soul Masters, almost instantly, undoubtedly brought a huge shock to the audience, stunning everyone present.
The game continues.
To everyone's amusement and dismay, the students from Barak Academy who came on stage after them were clearly no match for the first two, and no one else appeared who was a Soul Master above level 40.
Zhu Zhuqing then defeated five more people in a row, winning the match before even exhausting her soul power.
This means that Zhu Zhuqing single-handedly broke through Barak Academy, achieving the feat of defeating seven opponents single-handedly.
He also became the first participating soul master to receive this honor in the qualifying rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
Zhu Zhuqing's performance was undoubtedly perfect, directly overshadowing the players from the various colleges in the previous two major competitions. Her seven-game winning streak also elevated her personal record to the highest level.
The soldiers in the barracks never hesitated to show their respect and enthusiasm, and thunderous applause and cheers were all dedicated to Zhu Zhuqing.
On the VIP platform on the north side of the training ground, Ye Qifeng watched Zhu Zhuqing turn and leave the arena with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Is it pretty?"
Qian Renxue, who was standing to the side, noticed the smile on Ye Qifeng's lips out of the corner of her eye. She pursed her lips, and suddenly, through her soul power, she asked a question as if she were possessed.
"Okay, Xue'er, what did you say?"
Ye Qifeng was stunned. Instinctively, the word "good-looking" was about to slip out, but he reacted at the last second and stopped the car.
"I'm asking you, is it pretty?"
Qian Renxue turned to look at Ye Qifeng with a smile on her face, but the tone in her soul power transmission suddenly became sinister.
"Uh, if you're talking about Zhu Qing, then of course she's beautiful."
Ye Qifeng gave an awkward smile, but still nodded and answered her truthfully, emphasizing honesty.
In closing, however, he couldn't resist adding a comment to quell Qian Renxue's sudden surge of jealousy:
"But my Xue'er is still the prettiest."
Thank you to [I am Qin Yu] for the 100 book coins!
