--- Chapter 162 ---

Hu Liena frowned a little when her tactic wasn't working against her opponents.

"This is going to be tougher than I had expected..." She quietly muttered.

The Golden Generation couldn't proceed with their former plan, so Hu Liena hurriedly decided to launch plan b.

She gave Yan and Huo Shun a keen gaze, and they immediately nodded their heads, quickly moving back to their original positions.

"Since we couldn't hit their healer, let's approach them straight forward." Hu Liena slowly grasped her sleeve and swiftly threw a few throwing daggers at Su Yanyu.

Su Yanyu raised her wind spear and casually deflected the daggers away, which caused Hu Liena to smile for some reason.

'Hmm, What's she plotting?' Su Yanyu thought while focusing her gaze on Hu Liena, who threw another bunch of daggers toward her.

"Captain, do you need help?" Jiang Zhu approached Su Yanyu from behind.

"No...?" Su Yanyu immediately frowned and instantly kicked Jiang Zhu away from her.

Jiang Zhu's body disappeared when Su Yanyu's kick touched her body, which released vague spiritual energy.

"Illusion." She looked back at Hu Liena, who had disappeared from her view.

Su Yanyu observed the arena and noticed some of her teammates dazed in their positions.

"Surprised?" Hu Liena suddenly appeared from behind, and Su Yanyu raised her spear to block the incoming attack.

Clank!

Hu Liena's Dagger was about to touch Su Yanyu's shoulder, but she had already defended it with her wind spear.

'I see... The daggers before were.' Su Yanyu thought while feeling a somewhat ringing sensation in her ears. She finally realized this foxy girl's trick.

"Sounds..." Su Yanyu solemnly muttered, which caused Hu Liena to giggle a little.

The twins quickly appeared from her side and activated their spirit skills to shake Su Yanyu's consciousness.

"Spiritual Shock!" The twins confidently chanted, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy struck Su Yanyu's forehead.

The other Tyrants were also slowly subdued by Hu Liena's spiritual sound attacks, and it weakened her opponent's spiritual defense and drove them into an illusion.

It might sound powerful because her enemies couldn't realize the attacks. However, Hu Liena actually needs thorough preparation to activate this trap.

Hu Liena waited for her other teammates to finish their tasks, but she suddenly felt something was wrong.

"What's this cold sensation..." Hu Liena moved her gaze to Liu Erlong and saw her smirking like she was witnessing something amusing.

Cracks!

The stage below Su Yanyu's feet suddenly cracked, and a wind blast came out of her body.

"Bamboo Flute." Su Yanyu gradually opened her eyes, and a green bamboo flute floated in front of her.

'Good. To begin with, Yanyu was never an assault-type spirit master. It just was because of her weak martial soul that her growth hindered.' Liu Erlong thought while looking at her strongest disciple.

'However, Su Yanyu trained hard to overcome those innate obstacles and reached her strength now.' She calmly continued with a smile on her face.

"Melody of Resentment." Su Yanyu's eyes abruptly shone with a wicked green light.

Calming melodious sounds echoed on the stage, and everyone spontaneously felt something weird in their bodies.

"W-What happened." Hu Liana looked at Su Yanyu with a surprised expression.

Su Yanyu placed the bamboo flute on her lips and quietly blew a rhythmical melody, which was different from before.

"Second Moon: Moonlight Passion." She mumbled, and the other Tyrants opened their eyes.

Su Yanyu glanced at Hu Liena and coldly smiled at her. "Third Moon: Piercing White Light."

"Everyone, Back to the formation, Fall Back!" Hu Liena shouted.

However, it was a little bit too late because a white light suddenly appeared and dispersed in the skies.

The dispersed white light fell to the stage and created white prison around the Golden Generation.

"Fire Blow!" Yan punched the white prison with his fiery fist, but what came next was a literal surprise.

Cough!

Yan coughed blood and felt his heart beating unconformably for some reason.

"Arrgh!" He roared because hellish pain suddenly appeared out of nowhere on his body.

Yunlong, who had seen the fight for a while, slightly smiled and commented, "Heh, Reflected Damages..."

He became interested in Su Yanyu's prowess and quietly observed her martial soul with a prying gaze.

Su Yanyu's martial soul should be of the same quality as his handkerchief. However, there is no way such an ordinary bamboo flute could reflect damage.

"Ah. The spirit mutation." Yunlong casually commented.

Spirit Mutation happens most commonly when parents with different martial souls have children.

The child will have the same martial soul as one or both parents, or a spirit mutation occurred, making an entirely new spirit. It can also happen in other ways.

One of them is by absorbing an extreme/unique spirit ring or consuming heaven and earth treasures. Another way is getting exposed to an external factor like a bloodline.

'So, she most likely got a spirit mutation after absorbing the extreme/unique spirit ring.' Yunlong thought while looking at the white prison, which looked like glass or maybe a mirror.

"Mirror Beast, was it?" Yunlong muttered while thinking about a distinct spirit beast, which is pretty rare in this continent.

According to the original plot, the Mirror Beast appeared in front of Oscar, Tang San's companion, but that most likely won't happen because Yunlong had changed this world.

Hu Liena deeply frowned at Su Yanyu and decided to become serious now, even though she actually doesn't want to show the Golden Generation using such a trick.

"Brother, Yan." Hu Liana calmly said while pointing her index finger at her head.

Xie Yue nodded his head and quickly raised his hand in the air, calling his martial soul Moon Blade.

Moon Blade, brimmed with red light, appeared in his hand, and a sharp intent burst out.

Slash!

'Tch...' Xie Yue clicked his tongue because when he slashed the white prison, his hand suddenly also received cut damage.

"Red Moon." He quietly muttered while throwing the moon blade, cutting each prison that trapped the Golden Generation.

Huo Shun, who knew his role, immediately used his ability to suppress Xie Yue's injuries and slowly healed them.

"Ba Jai, your role." Huo Shun coldly said while looking at his incompetent teammate.

Ba Jai's face was red in shame, and he quickly moved toward Su Yanyu. "I'll take my revenge." He said while fully activating his toxic demon martial soul.

Su Yanyu coldly smirked and gracefully played her bamboo flute, which created a sharp sound.

Puchi!

Bai Jai's body got a few air slashes, but it wasn't enough to take him down because a purplish poisonous gas came out of his body.

"Chaos Fog." Hu Liena also used her second spirit skill again, and everyone in the arena got engulfed by it.

Su Yanyu can't use her wind blow skill in this state and thought about something for a moment.

"Wolf Roar." A battle cry appeared on the stage, and a robust-statured youth, landing beside Su Yanyu.

"Huang Yuan." Su Yanyu looked at the youth with a surprised gaze because he actually survived in this environment.

"Captain." Huang Yuan nodded his head. "I couldn't smell anyone except you on the stage."

"Eh?!" Su Yanyu responded with a baffled expression.

"They blocked my sense of smell." Huang Yuan answered while looking at the fog around them.

Jiang Zhu also suddenly walked into their position, and Huang Yuan looked at her with a frown. "She's the real one." He said with a confused tone.

"Of Course, I'm real!" Jiang Zhu's forehead twitched in annoyance because, in that illusion, she got trapped inside of a disturbing dream.

They looked at each other for a moment and felt the ground shaking violently.

BOOM!

BOOM!

Su Yanyu created a barrier around them and heightened her senses.

Cracks!

The floor beneath them got cracked, and Yan abruptly humped out, launching a powerful blast toward them.

"TREMOR BLAST!"

Yan once again used his most potent skill, and everyone around him got caught in a powerful explosion.

"Jiang Zhu, Huang Yuan-," Su Yanyu hurriedly want to use her defensive skill.

BOOM!

The explosion swept over the fog from the arena, and the Tyrant appeared in their injured states.

Cough!

Su Yanyu wiped the blood from her lips and saw four of her teammates lay on the arena with burn injuries across their bodies.

Huang Yuan and Jiang Zhu are also in a bad state, but their condition is not as good as the others because they also got caught in that explosion.

"To think the Golden Generation would do such a trick." Su Yanyu commented while looking at Hu Liena, who also quietly stared at her.

Jiang Zhu was about to use her healing skill, but Liu Erlong abruptly raised her hand and asked, "Do you want to continue, Yanyu?"

Su Yanyu could only wryly smile and casually stood up from her position because even though she's gravely injured, this is nothing but a scratch compared to their training.

'I could take half of them right now, but that foxy girl won't let me do it, right.' Su Yanyi thought while shaking her head.

Su Yanyu also noticed her teammates holding their strengths in this fight, which caused her to wonder what Liu Erlong actually planned.

"Jiang Zhu, heal our team. Huang Yuan and I would face them." Su Yanyu calmly instructed, to which Jiang Zhu quietly responded with a nod.

Huang Yuan also casually stood up from the ground and walked toward Su Yanyu with a darkened expression.

"Are you ready? You shouldn't hold back, okay." Su Yanyu commented while looking at Hu Liena.

"I know." Huang Yuan responded with a huff because being caught in that explosion was already shameful enough for him.

He cracked his neck a little, and four spirit rings floated around his body. "Lone Wolf Possession..." Huang Yuan muttered.

Huang Yuan turned werewolf-like, and a loud howl escaped his mouth.

AAAUUUUU!

Su Yanyu threw her bamboo flute away and created a great wind spear. "...Ghost Wild Dance." She muttered while entering a weird stance.

The Golden Generation frowned a little because these people shouldn't stand up after that last attack, but they were surprisingly persistent.

"Prepare yourself." Hu Liena suddenly warned, "Something wrong might happen now."

The Golden Generation entered their former formations and noticed Su Yanyu had already moved forward, which caused Hu Liena to frown.

"Where is that wolf boy..." Hu Liena muttered.

Su Yanyu appeared right in front of her and slashed her spear forward, which Hu Liena effortlessly dodged by leaning her head.

However, to Hu Liena's surprise, the spear was the only afterimage because the real one had pierced her shoulder.

"...Hiss." Hu Liena winced in pain and forcibly took a step back.

"Hu Liena!" Yan shouted while rushing toward her.

Yan punched Su Yanyu away, and Xie Yue threw his moon blade to cut the wind spear.

Su Yanyu dodged Yan's attack and took a few steps back, which caused her figure to become blurry.

"Cruel Claws." Huang Yuan appeared out of nowhere and attacked Yan with a claws attack.

"You damn!" Yan roared and also threw a fiery punch toward Huang Yan.

Bam!

Huang Yan naturally crossed his arms and protected him from Yan's attack, but he also got launched a few meters away.

Su Yanyu's silhouette moved toward Huo Shun and the other Golden Generation. "Fleeting Strike." She silently whispered before sending them out of the arena.

Ba Jai's eyes widened because he couldn't sense Su Yanyu's presence, so he instinctively turned around and countered her attack.

"Toxic Claws!" He yelled while launching his attack.

"See you later, loser." Su Yanyu indifferently commented while dodging Ba Jai's attack and casually kicked him out.

The situation quickly turned upside down with the Golden Generation in a tight spot because they only had three members left on the stage.

Jiang Zhu also had healed her teammates, which means the Tyrants were in their best condition.

"What should we do...?" Xie Yue asked his sister, who had been pondering about something for a few seconds.

"Let's use that." Hu Liena suddenly stated, which caused Xie Yue to stare at her in awe.

Yan approached them and saw a solemn expression on their faces. "Are we finally gonna use spirit fusion?" He asked.

"Mhm." Hu Liena nodded her head.

Su Yanyu and her teammates stood in front of the Golden Generation and noticed them doing weird actions, which held each other's hands.

"Don't tell me...!" Su Yanyu's eyes widened in surprise because she didn't expect the Golden Generation to have such a trump card.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan disappeared from everyone's views.

A beautiful woman with flowing purple hair and a darkish robe suddenly stood on the stage. She also wore a fox mask and quickly smirked at the Tyrants.

"Purple Flame Bullets." The fox-masked woman created two pairs of moon blades and threw them to the skies.

"Continues Strike."

A rain of purple flame appeared on the stage, and everyone was baffled because the force of this attack is the realm of Spirit Saint.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Su Yanyu gritted her teeth because she couldn't create a windshield to protect her team. When she was about to finish one, a barrage of attacks would destroy her efforts.

"I should have finished them back then..." Su Yanyu mumbled.

As the rain of flames kept falling for a few minutes, the fox-masked woman shone in bright purple color and dispersed into three people.

Hu Liena's breathing was heavy for a moment because her spiritual energy was greatly confused when doing spirit fusion.

"Are you okay?" Xie Yue asked, to which Hu Liena responded with a nod.

"You guys... it's not your victory yet!" Su Yanyu coldly said while hardly standing on the stage.

"I'm still standing!" She firmly shouted, which caused her schoolmate to look at her in awe.

Huang Yun and Jiang Zhu also stood firmly behind her, and the Tyrant Academy's students looked at them proudly.

Liu Erlong suddenly walked between them and naturally declared, "It's a draw."

"Huh?"

"Eh?"

They were shocked at Liu Erlong's statement and looked at her with a weird gaze.

"The two teams couldn't fight anymore. The Golden Generation didn't have spirit energy left, and The Tyrants have substantial injuries, which caused this fight to become a draw." Liu Erlong calmly continued, which left everyone speechless.

"Teacher..." Su Yanyu frowned at Liu Erlong.

"What about the result. If this is really a draw, who's going to represent the spirit hall?" Hu Liena asked while feeling something was off.

"We'll do an additional fight, but you have to fight together." Liu Erlong answered, which caused both Hu Liena and Su Yanyu to glance at each other.

"Together..? Hell No!" Hu Liena and Su Yanyu refused such a ridiculous statement at the same time.

Liu Erlong smiled a little and responded, "Is that so? No one is going to represent the spirit hall then."

Su Yanyu and Hu Liena became quiet when hearing her words and couldn't help but stare at her with speechless looks.

"So... Are you two gonna fight together?" Liu Erlong asked, to which Su Yanyu and Hu Liena responded with a hesitant nod.

"Well, then. let's call your opponents." She casually continued, and four-veiled girls entered the stage.

Hu Liena looked at these girls and found one of them looked really familiar for some reason.

Su Yanyu covered her mouth in surprise because she knew these girls' identities, which means that person is also here.

Stab!

A Golden Spear suddenly pierced the floor in front of them, and a handsome young man appeared in front of them.

"Yo." Yunlong smiled at them.
