The red barrier completely enveloped all of the Shrek Seven Devils. At this moment,
Unlike last time, the red light didn't need time to build up. With the assistance of their teammates, it surged to its optimal state in an instant.
The seven members of Spirit Hall's academy team knew perfectly well that this technique had already been seen by the Shrek Seven Devils, but they had full confidence in themselves. A Martial Soul Fusion Technique and a fusion technique were entirely different concepts. A Martial Soul Fusion Technique had no flaws, and its power was vastly superior. Just as the Great Master had said, a Martial Soul Fusion Technique wielded by two Soul Kings could, in a short burst, absolutely rival the power of a seventy-level Soul Saint.
The red light flickered, and the two individuals merged into one — a long-haired figure so androgynous it was impossible to tell male from female.
Their hair had turned red. The figure formed by Xie Yue and Hu Liena began to dance gracefully. Two moon blades, magnified to twice their original size, gleamed with iridescent light at the tips of their outstretched arms. As the surging, dense red light abruptly intensified, the merged figure vanished into the thick red fog. The Shrek Seven Devils were completely swallowed by it.
Spirit Hall's academy team didn't have a true Control Type Soul Master, yet their control ability was stronger than anything seen before. The reason was precisely this Martial Soul Fusion Technique — Demon Charm.
The greatest feature of this Martial Soul Fusion Technique was its control. Within the range of Demon Charm's control, everyone's senses were reduced by fifty percent, their Soul Power suppressed by fifty percent, and all actions slowed by fifty percent.
In an instant, the opponents were driven into a desperate situation. The thick red fog was a special energy that combined malice and illusion. Beyond the three debuffs it imposed, the most terrifying aspect was that within this red fog, only Xie Yue and Hu Liena — the ones who had activated the Martial Soul Fusion Technique — could see. Suddenly losing one's sight would inevitably throw anyone into panic, let alone while suffering an overall weakening. Even opponents at the same level as Xie Yue and his partner had fallen to this Martial Soul Fusion Technique more times than anyone could count. This soul technique's effect was enough to rival the seventh soul technique of an ordinary Soul Master.
Watching the Shrek Seven Devils get swallowed into the red fog without even activating their Seven-as-One Fusion Technique, a faint cold smirk appeared on the faces of the other members of Spirit Hall's academy team. Even the expression on Pope
The Great Master shifted his gaze to Pope Bibi Dong, who was watching the match intently, and thought to himself: You can't figure out why I had them do this, can you? To defeat a stronger opponent with weaker forces, you must win through surprise. So what if it's a Martial Soul Fusion Technique? It may be a control technique, but it's only a debuff — not an overall power boost.
Upon stepping into the pinkish-red zone, the Shrek Seven Devils immediately felt their bodies grow heavier. Their senses became sluggish, and even raising a hand or moving a limb felt as though they were pushing against an invisible barrier, making everything far more difficult.
But no one panicked. In the instant before the red fog enveloped them, all six members other than Tang San had instinctively formed a defensive formation, surrounding
Clang, clang — two crisp sounds rang out in the red fog, accompanied by an androgynous gasp of surprise.
"How could you possibly know my attack trajectory?"
The one asking this question was the combined entity of Xie Yue and Hu Liena.
Tang San's hands, which had turned the color of jade, had perfectly parried the moon blades that had silently sliced toward him.
The red fog did not block Xie Yue and Hu Liena's vision. From Tang San's face, they could clearly see a hint of a smile. As the dominant controller of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Xie Yue immediately poured more power in. With the Martial Soul Fusion Technique active, his current Soul Power was the combined total of his own and Hu Liena's, reaching above the sixty-level mark.
But the moment he pushed his strength forward, he found it hitting nothing but empty air. Tang San had released his grip at some unknowable moment.
At the same time, Tang San's arms jerked outward in a simultaneous tremor, and the
From the outside, the scene was entirely different. The gasp had barely faded when six figures soared into the air from the red fog.
An ordinary Soul Master inside that red fog would be utterly unable to determine direction. Once caught in it, escape was impossible — unless one was a flying-type Soul Master. Yet Tang San showed not the slightest sign of losing his bearings. In that brief instant when the opponents were too shocked to properly control their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, he used his Blue Silver Grass to fling the other six Devils clear of its range in a single sweep.
This was Tang San's calculation. He had been counting on the opponents' momentary lapse — the split second they failed to drive the Martial Soul Fusion Technique in time.
