This skill paired with 's original abilities as though it had been designed from the start. Without this fourth Soul Skill, Xiao Wu was merely a close-range combatant. But once she had it, keeping her at a distance was no longer an option.

Immediately after the Invincible Golden Body, she triggered Teleportation. In the next instant, Xiao Wu materialized beside the opponent who had been releasing the halo. Her positioning was exquisitely precise — she had appeared at the point farthest from the other two Battle Soul Masters on the enemy team. Even if they used Soul Skills, those skills would have to pass through their halo-releasing teammate first before they could reach her.

Dark clouds descended as her black hair coiled around the opponent's neck like spirit serpents. The Invincible Golden Body's effect had not yet expired, so the Soul Skill the opponent desperately unleashed in that instant struck Xiao Wu's body without producing any effect whatsoever. He tried to grab her long hair, but those strands moved as though alive, impossibly smooth, and his fingers could not hold onto them.

With his neck wrapped and tightened, Xiao Wu's foot was already pressing against his waist hollow. Although the techniques had learned from the were not applicable to Xiao Wu, after having been together for so long, Tang San had long since taught her the weak points on the human body.

The instant her toe struck his waist hollow, the opponent's strength collapsed. In the next heartbeat, Xiao Wu's Waist Cannon was launched while the Invincible Golden Body was still active.

The Waist Cannon alone doubled her striking force, and the Invincible Golden Body amplified it further. The explosive power released in that single instant was enough that even a sixty-rank Soul Master would be utterly helpless once thrown. Let alone this member of the Spirit Hall academy team, whose waist hollow had been precisely targeted by Xiao Wu's toe — his entire body launched skyward as if riding clouds and mist.

Having completed this single fluid motion, Xiao Wu did not pursue to execute her Eight Stage Throw. Instead, she deftly bounced away, her body gliding out like a fish, narrowly dodging the attacks from the other two Battle Soul Masters. At the same time, she had completely drawn their attention. With one more Teleportation, she successfully escaped their attack range.

And just at that moment, violent explosions erupted in the direction where the Soul Master had been sent flying.

The halo-releasing Soul Master, struck hard by the Waist Cannon, had been plunged into a brief state of unconsciousness. And in that window, — who had been watching for precisely this opportunity — descended from above. The Evil Fire Phoenix's fourth Soul Skill: Phoenix Skyroar Strike, unleashed.

With the opponent stunned, the timing for Ma Hongjun's skill was perfect. He would not let this chance slip. Warped light spread across a tight radius, and a searing pillar of flame surged skyward in an instant. Amid a thunderous detonation, the opposing team member was completely swallowed by flames.

In the next moment, Ma Hongjun's figure walked calmly out of the fire pillar, kicking behind him as he went. A figure, now entirely charred black, was sent tumbling through the air.

"Get him medical attention quickly. If he dies, don't blame me." Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu had regrouped. At that exact moment, the effects of Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body and everyone's Flight Mushroom Sausage expired simultaneously.

Through seamless coordination and masterful use of their Soul Skills, they had successfully eliminated one opponent. The balance of the battle had shifted.

Dense bursts of explosive sound continued to ring out from within the red fog, a testament to the ferocity within. Shrill, distorted cries mingled with the clang of clashing attacks in a relentless stream. Those outside could not see the battle inside the red fog, but the other six Shrek Devils understood — at this moment, no one could help Tang San. Unless he chose to withdraw from the opponent's red fog of his own volition, anyone else who entered would only become a burden.

Over on and 's front, the two had immediately shifted to guerrilla tactics after their first collision with the opponent. Rather than clashing head-on with , they relied on Zhu Zhuqing's speed to launch flanking strikes while Dai Mubai drew attention from the front. Although their Soul Power fell considerably short of the opponent's, the fight would not be decided anytime soon. After all, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing still had their ultimate trump card — the Dark Phantom — unused. Yan did not dare push them too hard either. Despite being a Soul King, he had no confidence he could withstand the Dark Phantom White Tiger. All he could hope for was that and would quickly finish off Tang San inside the red fog.

Judging by the fighters outside alone, defeating the Shrek Seven Devils was already proving no easy task.

A trace of icy light flickered across Tang San's face. His hands came together before his chest, and with each flash of light in his eyes, the air seemed to solidify another degree. Behind him, the Eight Spider Lances stabbed out from seemingly impossible angles like eight long spears, while his body's movement was entirely controlled by those same lances.

Xie Yue's Moon Blades were even more formidable than Tang San had imagined. Those Eight Spider Lances, renowned for their toughness, left a scratch mark every single time they clashed against his Moon Blades. Some of the smaller barbs were even sliced clean off.

It had to be remembered that Tang San's Eight Spider Lances had already been enhanced by two Man-Faced Demon Spiders and tempered by two supreme spirit herbs. This spoke volumes about the terrifying offensive power of the massive Moon Blades gleaming with crimson light patterns in Xie Yue's hands.

At the same time, Tang San discovered that within this Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Xie Yue's body possessed a special effect. At least thirty percent of the time, he could evade attacks entirely on his own. And Xie Yue had mastered this evasion perfectly — unless an attack was virtually guaranteed to hit his body, he would not bother blocking with his Moon Blades.

Instead, he continuously used the Moon Blades to whittle down Tang San's Eight Spider Lances. That dense, clattering sound was produced precisely from this.
