109: The final challenge team

"Aoooong!"

The Great Sorrow Demonic Curse was interspersed with a long, drawn-out dragon roar. In an instant, a strange and ancient power permeated the air, as if an invisible hand were gently plucking the strings of space, producing a bizarre and Soul-stirring sound.

This dragon roar seemed to traverse the boundaries of time and space, carrying the supreme pressure of the ancient Dragon Clan. Within the roar, the mysterious power of the Great Sorrow Demonic Curse was faintly intermingled, rolling towards Xian Lin like a surging tide.

Upon hearing the dragon roar, Xian Lin suddenly felt a chill shoot from the soles of his feet straight to his heart. For the first time, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, which had originally been full of confidence.

His Green Flame Spirit seemed to sense a fear from the depths of his Soul, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. The whirlwind drill that he and Song Yuner were using to charge towards The Zhou Sisters at high speed was strangely diverted by the impact of this bizarre power, causing both of them to crash into the ground.

Even Song Yuner, who tried to forcibly control her Spirit to continue the attack, found that the power intertwined with the dragon roar and the Great Sorrow Demonic Curse acted like an invisible net, tightly binding her Spirit.

Both of them felt as if they were placed in a dark abyss, surrounded by existences that chilled them to the bone. Their legs began to weaken, their originally straight bodies gradually bent, and beads of sweat as large as beans rolled down their foreheads.

The audience below the stage was stunned by this scene. The originally noisy arena instantly became silent, and many Spirit Masters who possessed Dragon-type Spirits made fools of themselves. Everyone stared with wide eyes, looking at the scene on the stage in disbelief. They had never seen such a bizarre and powerful force; a single sound wave was enough to make this person, known as the number one Prodigy of Sea and Land Academy, tremble so violently.

Only Shen Guyan himself knew that for this Great Sorrow Demonic Curse, he had specifically mixed in the aura of a Candle Dragon, which caused the Bloodline suppression between the Dragon Clan.

At this moment, the referee intervened in time, catching the weak and fallen Xian Lin and Song Yuner to prevent them from being caught in the indiscriminate attack of The Zhou Sisters' Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Giant blue trees continued to burst out of the ground, and a biting cold air swept across the entire arena. Clearly, the Ice and Snow Forest had absorbed enough elemental energy and was becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

The remaining referees took action one after another, transferring everyone in the arena out.

Shen Guyan was still lying comfortably in his wheelchair; judging only by his appearance, he did not seem to have consumed much energy.

Yang Zhanpeng and Mo Yanggong were in a much more miserable state. They had almost no highlights throughout the entire match; they were either stopped by Wang Dongqi sacrificing herself or blocked by Shen Guyan's Puppet.

"We won!" Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tianer came to Wang Dongqi's side, and the three of them smiled at each other and jumped up with excitement.

Xian Lin and Song Yuner watched all of this with pale faces, seeming to have not yet recovered from the influence of the Great Sorrow Demonic Curse.

"Don't be discouraged, senior. It's just a few qualifying spots. You can take some time off and sign up as well. I believe that with your strength, you will certainly be able to achieve results in the Youth Genius Competition." Shen Guyan slowly moved his wheelchair to their side and comforted them with a smile.

Song Yuner rolled her eyes at him, her pretty face full of unwillingness. It seemed that this was the only way for them to achieve a good ranking in the Youth Genius Competition.

"With nearly a million age-appropriate Spirit Masters from the entire continent participating, how easy is it to stand out?" Xian Lin gave a bitter smile, then looked up and stared at Shen Guyan's face. "I had already overestimated you as much as possible, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated you."

"Senior, you flatter me. I just benefited from Zhou Hanyou and the others," Shen Guyan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Although you defeated us, if you want to truly obtain the academy's qualifying spots, including Zhou Hanyou and the others, I'm afraid you'll have to fight another match," Xian Lin said, looking at the ring with a meaningful expression.

Shen Guyan knew what he wanted to say. The Zhou Sisters, who had just used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, had lost a significant amount of both Soul Power and physical stamina. Even if he and Wang Dongqi could defeat their opponents, it would be difficult for Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tianer to exert much combat power.

Without their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, The Zhou Sisters were no different from him, Xian Lin, Song Yuner, and the others in terms of individual talent.

"I will help them successfully occupy the ring, so you don't need to worry about that." Shen Guyan left only a faint sentence, then turned his wheelchair and drove towards the three of Zhou Hanyou.

Xian Lin watched Shen Guyan's back without a word. Although it was just a fleeting glance, he keenly captured the confidence in the young man's eyes.

What would he do?

Watching Shen Guyan control his wheelchair as he drove towards them, the joy of victory had not yet dissipated from the pretty faces of Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tianer. "Tianya, you did great! What kind of Spirit Ability was that roar you just did? It actually knocked Xian Lin and Song Yuner down in one go!"

"Hehe..." Shen Guyan did not want to explain too much to them about the Great Sorrow Scripture. "There is still a doubles challenge match later; are you ready?"

"This..." Hearing this, the excitement on the three women's faces subsided slightly. Wang Dongqi was fine, but Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tianer certainly did not have much combat power left.

Moreover, given The Zhou Sisters' fame in the academy, their coordination tactics had long been thoroughly studied by other students. Under the premise of not being able to exert even half of their combat power, it would be difficult for the two women to win the next match.

"You two should separate to participate in the doubles challenge match." Shen Guyan tapped the armrest lightly with his finger, making a decision that shocked the three of them.

Separate?

Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tianer looked at each other, both seeing Shen Guyan's intention in the other's eyes. To put it bluntly, it was to have Shen Guyan and Wang Dongqi each drag one along, taking the sisters to win the doubles challenge match.

Wang Dongqi's face was a bit awkward. Although her Soul Power Rank was not low, who among the four people standing on the ring was worse than her? Moreover, in the four-on-four battle just now, her consumption was not small. Wanting to drag a burden along to win the challenge match was undoubtedly wishful thinking.

By doing this, Shen Guyan was undoubtedly shifting all the pressure onto himself and Wang Dongqi.

Seeming to see Wang Dongqi's embarrassment, Shen Guyan just chuckled. "Don't worry, I know your consumption is also not small. I will take Tianer, who has the lowest Soul Power Rank, first, and in the second match, Hanyou will take you to win."

Hearing this, Zhou Hanyou pointed at herself in astonishment. She would take Wang Dongqi? Did her consumption look small? Did this guy have some misunderstanding about her strength?

Without waiting for them to raise the questions in their hearts, a blue light flashed on Shen Guyan's hand, and a bronze-colored azure dragon mask appeared in his hand.

"You or Dongqi, either one is fine. As long as you wear it, you can obtain a portion of my power."
