Shi Yu remained calm and collected, but his opponent had a solemn expression and was under immense pressure.
The Referee announced the start of the match, and Shi Yu took a step forward, disappearing from the spot.
The opponent was extremely nervous, vigilantly scanning their surroundings, with some defensive Soul Guidance Devices on their body ready to activate at any moment.
Shi Yu appeared behind her to the left, and the Eight Spider Lances attacked.
Her reaction was quick; she immediately turned to meet the attack, but still found it somewhat difficult to cope with Shi Yu's eight spider lance attacks.
"Clang!" The sound of metal colliding rang out. Shi Yu's Eight Spider Lances pierced the opponent's Soul Guidance Armor, creating a hole.
The opponent's close-combat Soul Guidance Device also thrust towards Shi Yu.
With a thought, Shi Yu disappeared from the spot, appearing behind her to attack again.
"Clang, clang, clang..." The two sides continuously exchanged blows, and the sounds of collision rose and fell.
Shi Yu held the absolute initiative, always attacking proactively while the opponent defended passively.
Shi Yu's attack rhythm accelerated, making it difficult for the opponent to keep up and gradually fall behind his pace.
When Shi Yu attacked, he was quite strategic. He didn't just stab with the Eight Spider Lances; he would also try to pry, attempting to use them to lift the opponent's Soul Guidance Armor away from their body.
Her Soul Guidance Armor wasn't tightly attached to her body; it had some clasps. As long as he could pry at the right spots, he could potentially detach the armor from her body.
Shi Yu had already successfully pried off several pieces of the opponent's Soul Guidance Armor, leaving some parts of her body unprotected.
He then focused his attacks on these relatively vulnerable areas.
His fighting style was fierce, trading injuries for injuries; even if he would sustain more serious damage himself, he was determined to inflict damage on his opponent.
Relying on this fierce, reckless fighting style, the opponent only lasted four minutes before being defeated.
Sun Moon Royal Academy suffered another defeat. The consecutive losses infuriated and deeply humiliated the people from Sun Moon Royal Academy.
"I'll face him!" Ma Rulong, the captain of Sun Moon Royal Academy, walked towards the competition stage despite objections.
Seeing that the fourth person from Sun Moon Royal Academy to step onto the stage was Soul Emperor Ma Rulong, Shi Yu's expression also became a bit more serious.
The people from Shrek Academy were also sweating for Shi Yu.
Not only was the opponent a Soul Emperor, but he was also a formidable expert among Soul Emperors. His combat power was extremely strong, and Shi Yu might not be able to win.
"Just surrender," Ma Rulong said after stepping onto the stage, not wanting to bully someone.
The opponent was only a Soul Grandmaster, three major realms below him. Even if he won, it would feel like an unfair victory.
Of course, the opponent couldn't really be treated as an ordinary Soul Grandmaster. How could a true Soul Grandmaster defeat several Soul Kings in a row?
"You know that's impossible. If you want me off the stage, you'll have to rely on your skill," Shi Yu said with a smile, battle intent burning in his eyes.
Although the opponent was a Soul Emperor, three levels stronger than him, Shi Yu wasn't completely without the power to resist. Even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't make it easy for the opponent and would try his best to deplete his state.
"Then let me show you my strength," Ma Rulong said no more, quietly awaiting the Referee's signal.
The audience also became fully focused. A Soul Grandmaster fighting a Soul Emperor – this match should have had no suspense, but because the Soul Grandmaster was Shi Yu, it was full of suspense. They didn't dare say Ma Rulong would definitely win, and saying Shi Yu would definitely win seemed exaggerated too.
This was destined to be a match with many highlights, possibly even determining whether Shrek Academy could defeat Sun Moon Royal Academy.
Everyone present was focused on them.
The Referee also announced the start of the match. Ma Rulong was already fully armed during the preparation phase.
He not only released his Martial Soul, but his six Soul Rings proved his powerful cultivation as a Soul Emperor.
Many Soul Guidance Cannons also appeared on his body, along with some Soul Guidance Armor that he wore, making him look somewhat cumbersome.
Having watched many of Shi Yu's matches, the people from Sun Moon Royal Academy were thoroughly prepared.
The Soul Guidance Armor on his body was specifically prepared for Shi Yu; Level 6 Soul Guidance Armor was sufficient to withstand the attacks from the spider leg Soul Bone on Shi Yu's back.
The omni-directional coverage of Soul Guidance Cannons would make it impossible for Shi Yu to dodge.
Now, it was difficult for Shi Yu to dodge, and attacking Ma Rulong wasn't easy either. Let's see how he could possibly win.
A Soul Emperor already had a huge advantage over Shi Yu, a Soul Grandmaster. Ma Rulong's current preparations further reduced Shi Yu's already slim chances of winning. His winning probability might be less than one percent.
Seeing this, many people in the audience lost hope for Shi Yu to win. It was almost impossible to win.
The people from Shrek Academy also felt inexplicably pressured. Ma Rulong was truly well-prepared.
"Ma Rulong is a Soul Emperor after all, yet he's so cautious and careful when facing a Soul Grandmaster. He really doesn't seem to have much confidence in his own strength," Ma Xiaotao said angrily.
Zhang Lexuan, Xuan Lao, and others were somewhat speechless, just watching with solemn expressions.
Shi Yu was also stunned for a moment when he saw Ma Rulong's preparations. It had to be said, the opponent really took him seriously.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Ma Rulong directly opened fire, and a large number of cannonballs flew towards Shi Yu.
Many of them could lock onto targets. Soul Guidance Cannons with tracking effects were more suitable for dealing with someone like Shi Yu.
Shi Yu disappeared with Naruto's Instant Transmission, appearing behind Ma Rulong. As soon as he appeared, he saw several cannonballs shooting towards him.
Ma Rulong was firing cannonballs in all directions, including the air. No matter where Shi Yu appeared, he would be attacked by cannonballs.
Shi Yu was also mentally prepared for this. He actively used his Eight Spider Lances to detonate several cannonballs. The powerful impact landed on both Shi Yu and Ma Rulong, making both of them feel a pushing force.
Special Soul Guidance Devices appeared on Ma Rulong's feet, allowing him to stick tightly to the ground. At this moment, even a Soul Master at the Soul Emperor level might not be able to push him, entering a state of being as unmoving as a pine tree.
This wasn't his preferred fighting style. His usual combat style was relatively flexible, relying on his intellect to fight, rather than relying somewhat on brute force like this.
But there was no other way. It was because Shi Yu's ability was too bizarre; he could use Naruto's Instant Transmission almost without limit.
He didn't think his Soul Guidance Device attacks could be faster than the opponent's Naruto's Instant Transmission ability.
He had seen Shi Yu's Naruto's Instant Transmission ability, which could be completed in milliseconds. This made it very difficult to injure Shi Yu, no matter how powerful his attacks might be.
Trying to predict and aim was even more of a joke; the opponent wasn't that easy to lock onto.
It was precisely because he considered this point that he thought about changing his fighting style when facing Shi Yu.
At this moment, he wanted to transform himself into a fixed Soul Guidance Cannon platform, possessing unshakeable defense, and then bombard wildly, just to see how long Shi Yu could last.
Surely the Soul Power of a Soul Emperor like him would be more durable than that of a Soul Grandmaster, not to mention that fighting with Soul Guidance Devices itself was very Soul Power efficient.
