Chapter 272 - Nice Acting! (2/2)
But if I get hit by that hammer, even I will…
He subconsciously tried to take a step to the side, the easiest way to evade the hammer.
However, something strange happened.
The starwheel underneath him illuminated. He hurriedly roused his soul power to activate his third soul skill, but it was too late.
Chains of starlight shot out of the ground and bound him tightly. His head still looking upward, he could only watch in horror as the hammer descended and arrived before his eyes in a flash.
That hammer would surely knock him out, or even break his skull!
However, no matter how he struggled or urged his soul power to move, his body remained motionless.
This was the absolute control of astrological-attributed soul skills!
Bullets of sweat ran down student number six's forehead. The hammer had stopped an inch above his head.
Shen Yi took the hammer in her hand, curiously weighing it before moving to stand in front of Xu Xiaoyan. An odd smile peeked out. “Girl, nice acting!”
Xu Xiaoyan smiled sweetly, “Thank you for your praise.”
Though those thousand refined tungsten hammers weren't light, they weren't heavy for a two-ringed soul master. Even a ranged-type soul master wouldn't stagger when holding it. Xu Xiaoyan had purposely pretended to stagger under the weight of the hammers to draw everyone's curiosity and mislead her opponent into , giving her the chance to set up her attack. This was why Shen Yi had called it an act.
This girl would have lost if she made the slightest mistake. Who would've thought a metal hammer without the slightest bit of soul power would be the deciding factor in this match?
The greatest weakness of the Starwheel Shackles was its lack of offensive power. Apart from that, it also immobilized Xu Xiaoyan during its use, meaning she could not follow up with an attack.
So, Tang Wulin had secretly given her one of his heavy silver bracelet rings when he whispered the battle plan into her ear, telling her how to take out the tungsten hammer.
He hadn't needed to instruct her any further than that. She knew best how to take advantage of her frail appearance to win.
Shrek Academy's students may have plenty of combat experience, but they were sorely lacking in emotional matters. Xu Xiaoyan, being the little enchantress pampered by the elders in her family, would have them in the palm of her hands in such a battle.
Ten points!
Apart from Xie Xie, the other three all received ten points.
After the eighth trial, Tang Wulin had sixty points, Gu Yue had forty-eight points, Xie Xie had fifty-one points, and Xu Xiaoyan had fifty points.
With two trials left, their chances of pa.s.sing were great. Of the four, only Tang Wulin no longer needed to worry as much about the following trials. It was for this reason that Tang Wulin had gone all out in the eighth trial.
“Let's move on to the next trial.” Complex emotions twisted within Shen Yi's heart.
Senior brother's four disciples are really excellent. Though their martial souls aren't spectacular, they don't need to be; after all, not everyone has a mighty martial soul. The only one who stands out in this regard is Gu Yue. That Xie Xie has h.o.m.ogeneous twin martial souls, but they can't compare with true twin martial souls. While Xu Xiaoyan is quite capable, the restrictions on her abilities are too harsh.
