When Mu Ci walked into the arena in his team uniform, most of the people present looked on in astonishment, clearly not expecting him to actually make a move.
It should be noted that Mu Ci had not made a single move during the thirty days of the qualifiers.
After all, besides Mu Ci, the plant team also has two Soul King level members.
Aside from Vice Captain Yan Jing, there is another female team member whose martial soul is wisteria. She is in a relationship with Yan Jing and they are both key personnel cultivated by the Plant Academy, having joined the academy directly upon graduation.
With these two around, apart from Tianshui and Chihuo, there are no rivals.
Just when everyone thought that Shrek Team would concede defeat immediately after Mu Ci took the stage, Yu Tianheng walked onto the field with a death-defying spirit.
Feng Xiaotian frowned as he watched this scene. "Has Yu Tianheng gone mad? Five or six years ago, he couldn't even withstand a kick from Mu Ci. Does he think that a mutated martial soul is a different level?"
Yunwu asked, puzzled, "Didn't he receive the notification? Did he think His Majesty Nine Hearts would also intervene to treat him during the advancement competition?"
But the next moment, Feng Xiaotian denied it, "Impossible. In order to maintain relative fairness, after His Majesty Jiuxin finished treating the teams from other regions, the tournament organizers had already notified all the academies. Shrek Academy couldn't possibly not know!"
"Forget about them, let's just watch the game!"
In the arena of battle.
Mu Ci looked at Yu Tianheng with some surprise, "I thought you were going to surrender right away!"
Upon hearing Mu Ci's words, Yu Tianheng angrily retorted, "Don't think you're so great just because you're strong. We Shrek people don't have a school motto of 'surrender immediately'!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ci smiled at Yu Tianheng. As for what the other party was really thinking, only Yu Tianheng himself knew.
"Alright then, let me see just how much you've improved over the years!"
"Both sides, prepare—the match begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tianheng immediately activated his martial spirit.
Dark purple dragon scales covered his entire body, and his two thick dragon arms hung down naturally, with bone blades wrapped in lightning emerging from his elbows once again.
But what stunned everyone present even more was that Mu Ci did not release his martial soul or soul rings. Instead, two jade-white bone blades grew from his elbows!
Although it is thinner than Yu Tianheng's, no one would doubt its sharpness!
Chapter 179 The Astounding Martial Soul Domain
Mu Ci's change caused Yu Tianheng on the other side to freeze in place, his Adam's apple bobbing as his voice became fragmented.
"You... how is this possible?!"
Almost everyone present knew what Mu Ci's martial spirit was.
A mutated martial soul, possessing innate full soul power, and the abundant Jianmu tree!
No one believes the rumor of the ninth level of innate talent that circulated back then; they consider it a smokescreen from the Plant Academy.
However, what Mu Ci is showing now has completely overturned the understanding of most of the Soul Masters present!
Yu Xiaogang, standing below the Soul Arena, was stunned by what he saw and exclaimed, "What's going on? Could it be that Mu Ci is a Soul Master with a True Body Martial Soul? Or is he also a Twin Martial Soul?"
Yu Xiaogang had always believed that Bibi Dong and Tang San were the only ones with twin martial souls in the world, but now he was not so sure.
Tang San's knuckles were already white from clenching his fists as he stared intently at the pair of menacing bone blades.
Yu Xiaogang's words also made him suspicious.
'Could it be that he also has a skeletal spirit? If so, then Huo Wu's awakening at the Silver level would make sense.'
However, this only increased Mu Ci's perceived threat level in Tang San's mind to an even higher level.
As a possessor of twin martial souls, he knew better than any other soul master the growth rate of twin martial souls after reaching the Title Douluo level.
With the boost in soul power from the nine additional soul rings, a soul master can reach the peak Douluo level in a very short time, saving decades of arduous cultivation.
However, only those who are unaware of the inside story would have such doubts.
People like Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu didn't find it strange at all.
At the VIP table.
Emperor Xueye, seated in his luxurious seat, suddenly turned to Ye Renxin, "Sect Master Mu, could it be..."
But before he could utter the words "twin martial souls," Ye Renxin shook his head in denial, "You're overthinking it. Our sect leader doesn't possess twin martial souls!"
However, this explanation alone was not enough to convince everyone present.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Ge Long, and the others all wore expressions of doubt.
Ye Renxin had no choice but to continue explaining, "This is a deeper application of his martial soul. You should know what a domain is, right?"
"A Martial Soul Domain!" Sword Douluo exclaimed in surprise.
“That’s right, it’s the Martial Soul Domain!” Ye Renxin nodded affirmatively. “Our sect leader’s Martial Soul, the Abundant Jianmu, is the supreme Martial Soul of the Life type. Its awakened domain is the ability to freely control the body!”
"Just like now, make minor adjustments to your own body!"
After hearing Ye Renxin's words, everyone present except those who knew the truth looked constipated.
Is this a fine-tuning?
Fortunately, there are many beastmen on the Douluo Continent caused by the mutation of various martial souls, and they accept such changes very quickly.
So what if you can control your body? It's not a big deal.
However, the Martial Soul Domain still surprised everyone.
After all, among all the people they knew, only Sword Douluo had awakened the Seven Kill Domain, which belonged to the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul.
As for other titled Douluo or Soul Masters, I have never heard of them again.
In the spirit fighting arena.
Mu Ci looked at the shocked Yu Tianheng and said with a smile, "What, you're too scared to step forward? I can do it without even using my Martial Soul and Soul Rings!"
Yu Tianheng opened his mouth, his throat bobbing, and began to speak: "What do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean?" Mu Ci swung the bone blades on his arms. "Of course, it's about defeating you where you're strongest! That's what makes it interesting!"
"You!" Yu Tianheng immediately stepped forward and roared, "This is outrageous!"
Immediately, Yu Tianheng stopped being polite to Mu Ci, and the three soul rings on his body flashed instantly.
"The third soul skill, the fury of thunder!"
"Fifth Soul Skill, Tyrannical Dragon Body!"
With the support of two amplifying soul skills, Yu Tianheng's aura instantly increased several times over, and his terrifying body moved extremely fast, contrary to his usual behavior.
With a flash of lightning beneath his feet, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged toward Mu Ci.
During the sprint, Yu Tianheng's first spirit ring also flashed.
"First Soul Skill, Tyrannical Dragon Slash!"
The first soul skill that changed after the martial soul mutated was also released, with countless purple-black lightning bolts carrying the aura of destruction wrapping around the bone blades at the elbows.
Yu Tianheng immediately crossed his arms and lifted them upwards, causing the purple-black lightning at the bone blade to erupt instantly!
A terrifying beam of lightning flashed and slashed directly at Mu Ci.
Upon seeing this, Mu Ci smiled slightly and imitated Yu Tianheng's actions.
With his arms crossed naturally, the immense soul power within his body surged rapidly, beginning to converge along his body towards the bone blade.
The cyan-gold soul power, like a stream of plasma feathers, continuously pulsed on the bone blade.
Although it lacks the predetermined soul skills of Yu Tianheng, the extremely compressed and powerful soul energy still produces astonishingly powerful sword energy.
The two moved almost simultaneously, with a time difference of no more than half a second!
The cyan-gold and purplish-black blade lights collided violently in the arena.
A terrifying wave of soul power swept around, stirring up countless grains of sand!
In this very scene, the purplish-black blade light burst like a bubble!
Mu Ci's cyan-gold sword light, as if it had never been used up, continued to slash at Yu Tianheng with undiminished power.
The distance was so close, and the blade flashed so fast!
Yu Tianheng had no time to dodge to the side and could only cross his arms to take the blow head-on.
The terrifying power shattered the thick dragon scales instantly, and two bloody cuts appeared on his arms, deep enough to expose the bone!
This is why Mu Ci didn't go all out because he was mindful of the competition.
Otherwise, even a casual strike could have cleaved Yu Tianheng into several pieces!
Then, to Yu Tianheng's astonishment, Mu Ci appeared in front of him as if by teleportation.
"I admit it... Ah!"
Before Yu Tianheng could finish conceding defeat, Mu Ci's gleaming white bone blade, imbued with azure-gold aura, sliced through melons and vegetables with ease.
With two quick swishes, the bone blade was sliced off Yu Tianheng!
The bone blade, crackling with purplish-black lightning, was sent flying backwards into the Shrek Academy crowd by the terrifying force.
Then, amidst the shocked and furious gazes of the Shrek Academy members, Mu Ci held the bone blade to Yu Tianheng's neck, looking at him with a smile.
Yu Tianheng's arms were trembling and bleeding profusely, and the anger and resentment in his eyes seemed to want to burn Mu Ci to ashes!
But under Mu Ci's increasingly heavy pressure, he finally managed to utter those few words.
"I surrender!"
After hearing Yu Tianheng concede defeat, the referee immediately waved towards Shrek Academy.
However, this scene in the Soul Arena reminded Flander and Qin Ming of the scene back in the Soto Great Soul Arena!
For everyone's safety, Flander immediately advised, "Mu Bai! Xiao San! Why don't we just admit defeat for now? Anyway, there are no requirements for winning or losing in the qualifying rounds."
"I come!"
Chapter 180 Tang San's Ambition
"I come!"
Dai Mubai's words, filled with anger and murderous intent, rang out almost simultaneously with Flander's admonition.
