Chapter 271 Rongrong's Attack
In past battles, the Iron Tower duo always started with probing attacks to gradually figure out their opponent's strength and fighting style.
However, facing Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, two opponents with 100,000-year soul rings, they dared not be the slightest bit careless.
The crimson light emanating from Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's spirit rings, like two dazzling rubies, instilled immense fear and pressure in the Iron Tower duo.
It was this fear and pressure that prompted the Iron Towers to abandon conventional tactics and instead adopt a more aggressive approach to attack.
They knew that only by striking their opponent unexpectedly and with overwhelming force could they possibly win this battle against such a unequal odds.
If their plan succeeds, the scales of victory will undoubtedly tip in their favor in this two-on-two contest.
In the fierce competition, the achievement of four consecutive victories has boosted the morale of the entire team. They are burning with an indomitable fighting spirit and are eager to extend the fruits of victory to five consecutive wins.
At such a crucial moment, the allure of points and bonuses increases exponentially, making every moment of victory all the more precious.
"Meow—" Suddenly, a sharp meow pierced the tense air and echoed throughout the arena.
Zhu Zhuqing, the agile Soul Master, naturally discerned the intentions of the opposing Iron Tower duo.
She understood that finding her opponent's weakness in a short time would not be easy, so she decided to adopt a more direct strategy—to launch a fierce attack with lightning speed, trying to knock her opponent directly off the field.
Zhu Zhuqing's speed has reached an astonishing level. If her opponent were any other Soul Master, they would probably find it difficult to withstand such an impact.
However, her opponents were no pushovers; the Iron Towers were known for their impenetrable defense, which posed a significant challenge to Zhu Zhuqing's strategy.
As the competition progressed, Zhu Zhuqing's speed increased, and she moved across the field like a bolt of lightning. Every step she took seemed to declare her unstoppable determination to her opponents.
The Iron Tower team was clearly aware of Zhu Zhuqing's threat. Instead of sitting idly by, they prepared to face the impending onslaught.
The fourth purple thousand-year spirit ring on the Iron Tower began to shine. Unlike the first thousand-year spirit ring, this one was exceptionally deep in color. Clearly, this spirit ring was at least four thousand years old, which indicated that they were about to unleash a powerful spirit skill.
This soul skill can not only enhance their defense, but may even contain a deadly counterattack move.
Zhu Zhuqing knew that she had to find a breakthrough before her opponents were fully prepared, otherwise she would face an even more difficult situation once the Iron Tower Combination's soul skills were fully activated.
The atmosphere in the arena grew increasingly tense, with the audience holding their breath, anticipating the exciting duel to come.
The contest between Zhu Zhuqing and the Iron Tower duo is not only a battle of speed and strength, but also a contest of wisdom and strategy. Each side is searching for the other's weaknesses, attempting to achieve final victory in this crucial match.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Immovable as a Mountain!" With a loud roar, Iron Tower's skin seemed to be covered by a layer of hard black iron, gleaming with a cold luster.
His body instantly became like an unshakeable iron tower. Then, he assumed a stable horse stance, and the moment he landed, it seemed as if the entire earth trembled and sprouted.
Then, a dark, illusory iron tower slowly rose from his body, enveloping him completely, like an indestructible fortress.
The scene before him caused Huo Yuhao's expression to involuntarily turn serious.
He knew that what the iron tower combination in front of him was displaying was not only a powerful force, but also a rare mutated martial soul.
Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with white light, and his mental power, like a searchlight, penetrated every movement of the Iron Tower team.
He could clearly see that once the Iron Tower duo's feet touched the ground, they were like deeply rooted trees, firmly embedded in the earth, as if they had become one with it. Moreover, Huo Yuhao also discovered that the Iron Tower duo's weakness, their Achilles' heel, was hidden beneath their feet.
This discovery made Huo Yuhao's heart tighten. He realized that the Iron Tower duo's fighting style was extremely difficult to deal with. They seemed to be born to fight on the Soul Battle Arena.
It should be noted that the entire Soul Arena is made of hard steel, and the metal-attribute martial souls of the Iron Tower combination allow them to adhere firmly to the Soul Arena, just like magnets.
This ability is undoubtedly a huge advantage on the Soul Arena, making them almost seem like beings born for Soul Battle.
In other locations, such as forests, mountains, or other terrains, the combat effectiveness of the Iron Tower combination may be greatly reduced due to environmental limitations.
However, this happens to be the Soul Battle Arena, a steel stage specifically designed for Soul Battles. Huo Yuhao guessed that this was probably the reason why the Iron Tower Duo was so invincible.
Standing atop this steel structure, the Iron Towers seem to gain invincible power.
Every movement they made was so steady and powerful, and every attack was like a hammer blow, unstoppable.
They seemed to have become the masters of the battle arena, and any opponent facing them could not help but feel an invisible pressure and fear.
In fact, if Huo Yuhao were to reveal the exact location of the Gate of Life to Zhu Zhuqing now, with Zhu Zhuqing's unique Netherworld attribute, she would be fully capable of silently infiltrating deep underground.
Even in that dark and hidden underground world, she could move like a ghost, using the underground as cover to launch surprise attacks.
Her ghostly nature makes her movements underground almost silent, making it difficult for enemies to detect her presence, let alone predict her attacks.
However, Huo Yuhao did not choose to do so.
He knew that while giving Zhu Zhuqing the answer directly would allow her to complete the task quickly, that was not his real purpose.
Huo Yuhao's original intention was to use this experience to hone Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's practical combat skills and independent thinking abilities.
If he directly intervenes to help them, they will lose the opportunity to overcome difficulties through their own efforts, which would undoubtedly contradict his original intention to cultivate their independence.
Huo Yuhao knew that a single failure was not terrible; what was terrible was that Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong would develop a sense of dependence on him because of it.
He didn't want them to always expect help from others when they encountered difficulties, but rather he hoped that they could face challenges with confidence and solve problems on their own.
He hoped they would realize that true strength comes from inner resilience and relentless effort, not from relying on others.
Huo Yuhao hopes that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing can fully demonstrate their talents and abilities, and not be overshadowed by anyone else's brilliance.
He hoped they could be the masters of their own destiny, rather than playing supporting roles in other people's stories.
He hoped they could be like real queens.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao chose a more difficult but longer path.
He would rather let them stumble and fall in the face of challenges, and then get back up on their own, than let them grow up in a greenhouse and never be able to face real storms.
He knew that only in this way could they truly grow and become strong individuals capable of standing on their own.
The Iron Tower duo already had victorious smiles on their faces.
The dawn of victory shone before their eyes, and the Iron Tower duo were overjoyed.
They knew that Zhu Zhuqing was now almost helpless against their solid defenses.
The lean, imposing figure had silently approached Ning Rongrong. His movements were light and swift, like a cheetah lurking in the shadows, ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment.
"The game is over. Get out of here!"
The lean, imposing man's voice was filled with confidence and smugness as he rammed into Ning Rongrong with a wolfish ferocity, as if he could already see the fruits of victory right before his eyes.
His lips curled into an exaggerated smile, a victor's smile, as if he could already see Ning Rongrong being knocked away by him.
He had even planned to celebrate with champagne after the victory.
In their minds, the scene of celebration was already vivid: champagne bubbles splashing everywhere, cheers from teammates rising and falling, and the glory and joy that belonged to the victors.
Some spectators closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight of Ning Rongrong's tragic state.
Their hearts were filled with sympathy; they knew that if the lean iron tower's impact succeeded, Ning Rongrong would suffer a major blow.
They could almost see Ning Rongrong being knocked away and falling helplessly to the ground—a truly heartbreaking scene.
The atmosphere on the field became tense, and all eyes were focused on Ning Rongrong. Could she turn the tide at the last moment, or would she be completely overwhelmed by the Iron Tower duo's offensive? At this moment, all the suspense rested on her.
However, in the next moment, the wiry, towering man's pupils suddenly widened, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
"Third Soul Skill, Emerald Guardian!" Ning Rongrong's voice seemed to come from afar, full of determination and power.
As the 100,000-year spirit ring beneath her feet began to emit a dazzling light, a bright green light instantly shone forth, like the morning sun piercing through the thin mist and illuminating the entire arena.
The light quickly coalesced into a huge light curtain, tightly enveloping Ning Rongrong.
The light screen shimmered with an emerald-like luster, resembling a fine work of art, both beautiful and full of power.
The next instant, the lean, muscular man felt as if he had crashed into a soft yet indestructible light curtain, as if he had hit an invisible wall.
The moment his body touched the light barrier, he was struck by a powerful rebound force and sent flying backward. His movements traced an arc in the air, appearing both disheveled and powerless.
Finally, his body landed heavily on the ground below the ring with a dull thud. The lean, imposing figure lay motionless on the ground, clearly unconscious.
