88: Chapter 88: A Two-Two-Three Showdown, Starting with a Big Move

The next match arrived quickly.

The Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team's opponent for this match still had decent strength, also possessing four Spirit King-level combatants, though overall, they were slightly inferior to the Haoyang High-Level Soul Master Academy Team.

After all, the four Spirit Kings were only early-stage Spirit Kings, so there was inevitably a deficiency in their strength.

The opponent was named the Lin Yue High-Level Soul Master Academy Team, and their team uniforms were primarily silver-white, which looked quite mysterious and high-class.

The captain was a girl named Lin Yue, whose Spirit was the Silver Moon Gray Wolf, an attack system and control system hybrid, and her level fifty-two Soul Power was the highest in the team.

The remaining three Spirit Kings were all level fifty-one, having just entered the Spirit King stage.

"For the upcoming match, let us welcome the Lin Yue High-Level Soul Master Academy Team, and, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team!"

Ever since Mu Qingci's reputation as the Child of Light and Darkness had spread, the fame of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team had risen along with it.

"Child of Light and Darkness!!!"

"Child of Light and Darkness!!!"

"Child of Light and Darkness!!!"

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team, led by Mu Qingci, stepped onto the arena.

"Will both team captains please come forward to draw the battle format!"

Mu Qingci walked forward, and Lin Yue also went up together.

Under the joint witness of both captains, the referee took out the battle format for this match and held it high to be displayed on the big screen.

Two-Two-Three.

When this result appeared on the big screen, the host's voice followed immediately: "It's actually the Two-Two-Three battle format! I'm really looking forward to the performance of both teams; let us wait and see!"

Returning to the rest area, Mu Qingci began to arrange the personnel for the Two-Two-Three format.

Ye Guyi's condition had improved, and she was arranged by Mu Qingci for the second match, together with Mu Qingci, since winning two matches would secure the victory.

As for the candidates for the first match...

Mu Qingci's gaze turned towards Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

"Brother Xiao, Mengmeng, you two go for the first match. Use your Spirit Fusion Skill and let yourselves shine with the brilliance you deserve!"

Xiao Hongchen hesitated slightly: "But, shouldn't the Spirit Fusion Skill be saved as a trump card to use against Shrek?"

Mu Qingci smiled: "A mere Shrek Academy is enough for me to handle. Things like Spirit Fusion Skills don't need to be hidden away. Just go ahead and use it; let it bloom with its own radiance!"

Everyone understood; with Mu Qingci as such a powerful captain, the outcome of this tournament was almost already set.

And now, Mu Qingci doing this was because he didn't want to be the only one in the spotlight.

After all, they were a team, a whole!

"Alright, then we'll listen to Qingci!"

Hearing that they could use their Spirit Fusion Skill early, Meng Hongchen was also very happy.

After deciding the participants, the match officially began.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen smiled at each other and walked onto the arena hand in hand.

On the side of the Lin Yue High-Level Soul Master Academy Team, the ones who took the stage were captain Lin Yue and another team member.

It seemed they wanted to secure an initial victory.

Seeing that it wasn't Mu Qingci who came up, Lin Yue had initially breathed a sigh of relief.

But she always felt that Meng Hongchen looked a bit familiar.

She had watched the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team's matches before, but she didn't know that Meng Hongchen had advanced to become a Spirit Emperor.

"One minute to release your Spirits, the match begins!"

Following the referee's command, both sides released their respective Spirits.

"Awoo"

Accompanied by a loud howl, the Silver Moon Gray Wolf Spirit appeared behind Lin Yue.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black—the optimal spirit ring configuration.

The teammate beside her also released their Spirit.

A long sword appeared in his hand, followed by five spirit rings: two yellow and three purple.

On Meng Hongchen's side, she and Xiao Hongchen smiled at each other and released their Spirits.

Xiao Hongchen released his Spirit first.

Appearing before the Spirit were countless soul cannons.

Then, the Three-legged Golden Toad Spirit.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black—five spirit rings appeared at Xiao Hongchen's feet.

A Spirit King at this age was already a peerless genius.

But compared to the white-haired girl beside him, he was still lacking quite a bit.

Meng Hongchen also released her Spirit.

The temperature in the arena suddenly dropped slightly, and then, the phantom of the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad appeared.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black!

When the sixth spirit ring emerged, shock flashed in Lin Yue's eyes.

Aside from the Child of Light and Darkness, Mu Qingci, and that Ma Rulong, there was actually a third Spirit Emperor on the opposing side!

A feeling of powerlessness welled up in Lin Yue's heart, but as captain, she would not retreat.

"Leave that Spirit King to you; I'll go deal with that Spirit Emperor."

At this moment, Lin Yue displayed the sense of responsibility belonging to a captain.

She charged towards Meng Hongchen first.

"Second Spirit Ability, Gray Wolf Howls at the Moon!"

A sound wave shot out from her mouth towards Meng Hongchen.

The third spirit ring at Meng Hongchen's feet flashed, and just as the sound wave was about to hit her, she had already changed positions.

Subsequently, Meng Hongchen raised the dual soul swords in her hands and charged towards Lin Yue.

Xiao Hongchen, meanwhile, controlled his soul cannon platform to attack the long-sword Spirit King.

That long-sword Spirit King's aptitude was worlds apart compared to Mu Qingci's; he had yet to cultivate any strong sword intent and could only just freely use sword energy.

How could mere Spirit King-level sword energy compare to the power of a Level 5 soul cannon?

From the very beginning of the battle, that long-sword Spirit King fell into a disadvantage.

Xiao Hongchen's soul cannon platform combat style was too formidable; with his current strength, even when facing a Spirit Emperor, he could still maintain an advantage in long-range situations.

But this was an arena, and the distance between the two sides was destined not to be too far, so Xiao Hongchen had to take the initiative to seize the advantage.

In fact, Xiao Hongchen had indeed done so.

Both sides had significant differences in spirit rings, Soul Power levels, and even Spirit quality.

That long-sword Spirit King had no chance of winning against Xiao Hongchen at all.

And on Meng Hongchen's side, the gap was even more obvious.

At the Spirit Emperor realm, her level sixty-two Soul Power was a full ten levels higher than Lin Yue's.

In terms of spirit rings, Lin Yue couldn't compare to Meng Hongchen, and even less so in terms of Spirit and Soul Power level.

The Silver Moon Gray Wolf could at best be considered a high-level Spirit, and compared to the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad, it was still lacking.

"Fifth Spirit Ability, Silver Moon Wolf Head!"

The fifth spirit ring at Lin Yue's feet shone as she used her ultimate move.

A huge silver wolf head flew out towards Meng Hongchen.

This was a lock-on type Spirit Ability, so no matter how Meng Hongchen dodged, she couldn't evade it and had to take it head-on.

Seeing that the time was right, Meng Hongchen quickly ran towards Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen immediately understood his sister's intention and also ran towards Meng Hongchen.

The two converged and held hands.

Subsequently, a total of eleven spirit rings from their feet detached and fused together.

A terrifying, extreme aura emanated from the two of them.

"Spirit Fusion Skill, Red Dust Attachment!"
