Chapter 1204: Commencement of the Sparring Match (1/2)

Tang Wulin couldn't help but take an extra glance at the black and white light outside. He hadn't ever directly clashed with Elder Long's power of light and darkness, but after experiencing Elder Long's spiritual domain, he had been well and truly stunned.

In a three on six match, it was quite apparent which side held the advantage in numbers, but in terms of individual powers, it was undoubtedly the case that Tang Wulin, A'Ruheng, and Sima Jinchi held the clear upper hand.

However, individual power could never decide the outcome of a battle. Tang Wulin knew that his friends definitely had far better teamwork and synergy than he had with Sima Jinchi and A'Ruheng.

The two sides were separated by 200 meters, and in terms of Soul Master configuration, Shrek's Six Monsters was definitely more balanced.

Yue Zhengyu, Ye Xinglan, and Yuanen Yehui were the assault system Soul Masters, Xu Xiaoyan was the control system Soul Master, Xie Xie was the agility attack system Soul Master, and Xu Lizhi was the food system Soul Master.

In contrast, Tang Wulin's trio consisted entirely of assault system Soul Masters, with only Tang Wulin doubling as a control system Soul Master as well.

”Begin!” Elder Long was just as direct and straightforward as ever and announced the commencement of the match without wasting any time with words.

Tang Wulin was the first to spring into action. He stomped his left foot into the ground amid an earth-shattering boom, and his body shot forth like a golden arrow toward Shrek's Six Monsters.

A'Ruheng and Sima Jinchi also charged forward on either side of him, and all three of them unleashed their martial souls in unison.

Seven soul rings rose up around Tang Wulin's body with his greenish-golden and orange-golden soul ring the most eye-catching of the seven.

All of his friends actually could've already attained orange-golden soul rings as well, but because they had been separated for a year, they hadn't yet had a chance to absorb the plant system Great Beasts within Tang Wulin's body.

Everyone also had different reasons for not coming to Tang Wulin for these 100,000-year-old soul spirits back when they had progressed to rank 70 in soul power. In order to attain the Holy Fusion Technique, Yue Zhengyu had to use his original angel soul spirit as his seventh soul ring.

Ye Xinglan had reached a critical juncture in her sword soul breakthrough and couldn't afford to stop and absorb a plant system soul spirit, and she simply made a breakthrough on her own.

Xie Xie's situation was similar to Ye Xinglan's; after reaching rank 70 in soul power, he could sense that his martial soul had mutated, and in order to successfully complete the mutation, he had to make his breakthrough right away as well.

Xu Lizhi had originally intended to wait, but once he reached rank 70 in soul power, the soul spirit that he had already absorbed acted on its own to bestow upon him a seventh soul ring.

Yuanen Yehui had twin martial souls, and based on her own special circumstances, she had decided to hold off until she became Soul Douluo before fusing with one of the plant system Great Beasts.

Thus, the only one who could fuse with one of the plant system Great Beast was Xu Xiaoyan. However, everyone else had made their breakthroughs, and after witnessing how hard Yue Zhengyu had been working, she decided to travel to the stargazing platform and also completed her breakthrough there.

At the time, she had thought that everyone was waiting until they became Soul Douluos before they fused with the plant system Great Beasts, so she would do the same. Besides, the plant system Great Beast may not suit her anyway, so she decided to make a breakthrough on her own.

As such, Tang Wulin still had the six Great Beasts, and he was also the only one present with an orange-golden soul ring.

Tang Wulin's trio rushed forward in a triangular formation, and Shrek's Six Monsters had also adopted a formation that they had decided on in advance.

Xie Xie stepped off to the side and vanished silently into thin air. Yuanen Yehui was at the center with Ye Xinglan and Yue Zhengyu on either side of her, while Xu Xiaoyan was behind her, and Xu Lizhi brought up the rear.

All six of them were chewing on steamed buns, but they had intentionally kept their actions very discreet so Tang Wulin didn't even know which type of steamed bun they were eating. He could only assume that it was the Bloodthirsty Red Bean Bun.

Aside from Xie Xie, who had disappeared, the other five simply remained standing on the spot, seemingly waiting for Tang Wulin and the others to reach them.

Tang Wulin was accelerating further and further with his golden dragon wings spread open to make any directional adjustments that he would need, and his Golden Dragon Spear had already appeared in his grasp. His aura was so overbearing that it was almost threatening to tear the very air apart.

With his powers, the distance of 200 meters was covered virtually in the blink of an eye, and even though A'Ruheng and Sima Jinchi were a step behind him, they certainly weren't any slower than him.
