All of this happened too quickly. In the blink of an eye, Meng Yiran's figure, along with her snake staff, was sent flying and she crashed to the ground.
This indicated that the force accompanying the snake staff when it was struck was extremely powerful.
"What happened? Was that a Soul Skill attack?
But why didn't I see the opponent's Spirit?"
Meng Yiran collapsed on the ground, blankly staring at the snake staff that had been flung several meters away, not understanding what had just happened. She only knew that Wang Xing's finger had gently descended, and an invisible attack had accurately struck the snake staff.
Meng Yiran on the field was undoubtedly very confused, but everyone else present clearly saw the blazing white ray that shot out from the Radiant Sun.
This ray was too small, and its angle was completely aligned with the normal direction of sunlight, making it impossible for Meng Yiran to distinguish the ray from the sunlight.
However, as spectators, the audience watching the match from different angles all looked towards the sky.
They noticed a blazing white light hidden beneath the scorching sun, attracting everyone's attention.
It was an extremely small spark of white fire that cleverly used the sunlight to its advantage, only briefly revealing its presence at the moment the blazing white ray attacked Meng Yiran.
But soon, the spark of white fire disappeared again before everyone's eyes.
However, some of the more powerful individuals in the audience used their mental energy to lock onto the disappearing spark, or rather, the spark that was camouflaging itself with the surrounding environment like a chameleon.
"What exquisite fire control, what a unique Spirit."
In the VIP seats, Ning Fengzhi gazed at Wang Xing's masterful control over the Spark Spirit with amazement.
Although he was a support-type Soul Master, he was also a peak Soul Sage at level seventy-nine.
Due to the inherent flaws of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he couldn't advance further, but the improvement of his mental energy wasn't restricted, making his mental strength comparable to that of an average Soul Douluo.
It was precisely because of this that he could clearly sense the Spark Spirit, formed by the highly compressed and condensed powerful fire energy, gathering in the sky.
If the level difference between him and Wang Xing wasn't so great, Ning Fengzhi would have only been able to pinpoint its location when Wang Xing activated the skill. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to detect the Spark Spirit, which wasn't leaking any fire energy, so quickly.
"It's neither a Beast Spirit nor does it have a specific tool-like form; a Spirit purely condensed from fire elements is the first time I've ever seen it."
Emperor Xue Ye, seated in the main seat, also noticed this.
A curious look flashed in Emperor Xue Ye's eyes, but Salas, sitting beside him, couldn't show a relaxed expression at this moment.
The Blazing Academy's display of unexpectedly powerful strength made him realize that the trouble wasn't just Quan Yi and Huo Wu.
The match wasn't over yet.
Wang Xing stared at Meng Yiran and shouted loudly, "Admit defeat. Next time, my attack will directly pierce through your body."
Meng Yiran was incredibly proud. Hearing Wang Xing's advice, anger instantly flared up in her heart.
An unknown killing intent lurked around her, but she couldn't sense it. She instinctively understood that what the other party said was definitely not an exaggeration.
But as the pride of their academy on a regular basis, she was unwilling to admit defeat and withdraw so inexplicably.
Driven by the anger in her heart, she let out a sharp cry and propped herself up, running towards Wang Xing.
Although Meng Yiran was angry, she wasn't stupid. When launching her second charge, she didn't do the same as before. Instead, she activated her second Soul Skill, Serpent Body, softening her body into the state of a snake.
Using this softening, she swayed her body wildly from side to side and back and forth like a long piece of gummy candy while running, trying to reduce the accuracy of the attack in this way.
These strange movements, like a snake wriggling and crawling, didn't affect Wang Xing in the slightest.
He simply focused his gaze. This time, he didn't even make a move. Another blazing white ray shot down from the sky, instantly piercing through Meng Yiran's shoulder.
This time, the ray passed through her flesh and landed on the arena, directly piercing a hole several feet deep into the hard rock ground.
Meng Yiran, who was running, suddenly felt a pain in her shoulder. A strong burning sensation, accompanied by the smell of charred flesh, flooded her mind.
"Ah!"
Her body instantly lost its balance, and she fell to the hard rock ground, tightly clutching her painful shoulder and letting out a miserable wail.
"I said, next time I would directly shoot through your body.
"We admit defeat!"
The Otherworld Beast Academy immediately threw in the white towel, shouting their surrender.
Everyone present fell into a brief silence. They had never imagined that the battle would end in this way.
Wang Xing and Meng Yiran were clearly not on the same level. The attack power he displayed was enough for him to serve as a captain or vice-captain even within the Five Element Academy.
However, what everyone might not be able to imagine is that Wang Xing's position in the Blazing Academy would be as a support-type Soul Master.
The Blazing Academy, watching Wang Xing's shocking performance, was overjoyed.
"Haha, did you see that? This is the strength of our Blazing Academy."
Huo Wushuang laughed heartily, breaking the silence in the arena. His happy appearance was as if he was the one who had gone on stage.
Quan Yi, sitting in the back, also showed a satisfied smile.
"As expected, the Soul Beast you recommended in the beginning was very suitable for the Spark Spirit."
Huo Wu, sitting beside him, praised Quan Yi, besides being happy for Wang Xing.
This was because the extreme stealthiness displayed by the Spark Spirit originated from Wang Xing's fourth Soul Ring.
Many years ago, Quan Yi had already been searching for a suitable Soul Ring or Soul Beast for the Spark Spirit.
However, the Spark Spirit's inherent characteristics meant that no matter what kind of Soul Ring it absorbed, the skills would only amplify the Spark.
The difference was that the amplification effect would be stronger depending on the fire-attribute talent and age of the Soul Beast.
After understanding this, Quan Yi began to approach from another direction. Since the skills couldn't be changed, could the characteristics of the Spark itself be changed?
After some consideration, Quan Yi chose a Soul Beast called the Chameleon Fire Lizard. The Chameleon Fire Lizard wasn't a particularly outstanding Soul Beast, and its fire-attribute talent was only barely average.
However, its innate skill was the ability to transform itself and its flames into the color of the surrounding environment, forming camouflage to conceal itself and its attacks.
This characteristic attracted Quan Yi's attention.
The Spark Spirit, already small and capable of being controlled remotely, would have its threat greatly increased if it inherited the camouflage characteristic.
The result was as Quan Yi expected. After absorbing the Soul Ring of the Chameleon Fire Lizard, the Spark Spirit successfully inherited this characteristic.
"But this alone isn't enough to increase the attack power of the Spark Spirit to this extent."
Quan Yi wasn't being modest, but stating a fact.
