Seeing that the opposing team was now down one mber.
Caiyou, who had looked utterly hopeless just monts before, now wore a thrilled expression. She shot forward, trying to intercept the gray-robed Caster.
anwhile, Zhao Xiaowan had used the opportunity to pull out the spear that had been pinned to the ground by that mysterious man.
At this mont, the three from Linjiang had barely lost any of their combat strength, yet their opponents had lost a mber in a single blow. The tide of the battle had turned.
A dense surge of Spiritual Power, wrapped with wisps of a residual soul, poured into his body.
This was the first ti Li Chang’an had used his Soul Fire in the real world, and against a pure Spiritual System opponent, no less.
The effect of the Soul Fire was as heaven-defying as ever.
Of course, that wasn’t even the most important part.
The most important thing was that Li Chang’an discovered he had actually seized the opponent’s Spiritual Power!
This was very strange.
After all, everyone was supposed to be in a Virtual Space right now.
Logically, even if the Soul Fire could inflict damage, it should have been absolutely impossible to extract the opponent’s soul.
Yet now, Li Chang’an found that not only had he extracted Soul Power, but it was also an incredibly dense surge of Soul Energy.
The amount was even greater than the soul growth he had gained from killing certain Cultivators in the past.
So, that raised a question.
Li Chang’an had devoured most of this Spiritual Mind Master’s soul.
’So, is he dead or alive right now?’
’Even if he’s alive, after having so much of his spirit devoured, shouldn’t he have beco an idiot or a catatonic zombie?’
The question flashed through his mind, and Li Chang’an felt he was beginning to grasp Gu Ruilong’s true thods.
Although he didn’t know how he had done it.
But the situation in the arena now seed completely different from the previous battles.
First, Li Chang’an realized that he seed to have inflicted real damage to the Spiritual Mind Master’s soul!
The most direct evidence was that a part of the man’s soul had been enveloped by the Soul Fire and devoured, including a jumble of residual soul wisps and mory fragnts.
’This sort of thing involves the very foundation of the Divine Soul; it can’t be faked.’
In other words, the current arena was no longer just a virtual battlefield like before. A part of it had beco real.
Li Chang’an suspected that if he had truly been controlled by the Spiritual Mind Master just now, his own spirit in the real world would have been kidnapped and hijacked!
A chaotic jumble of thoughts raced through his mind.
Everything that was happening had clearly exceeded Li Chang’an’s expectations, making it difficult for him to distinguish whether what he was facing was illusory or real.
He didn’t know how Gu Ruilong had managed it.
But this didn’t cause Li Chang’an to panic.
’Whether it’s an illusion or reality, I only need to know one thing—I must sweep away all this trash.’
As long as he could achieve victory.
Whatever Gu Ruilong was scheming didn’t matter.
After thinking this through, Li Chang’an’s sowhat dazed mind finally settled. He had intentionally let the Spiritual Mind Master control him earlier, putting on an act of ’fighting for control’.
In truth, he was just fishing, luring the opponent into committing completely. Then, he had set a fire in the man’s spirit, crippling the Spiritual Mind Master directly.
Now, with one person out of the way, the remaining two posed a much smaller threat to him.
The mont the Soul Fire broke the restraint, Li Chang’an strode forward a few steps, once again appearing before the Earth Mage.
The Earth Mage had just been chanting an extrely destructive Magic spell.
His original plan was to wait for the Spiritual Mind Master to immobilize Li Chang’an, then use a massive barrage of Magic to completely overwhelm him, leaving him no chance to fight back.
However, he had never imagined that Li Chang’an possessed a counter to soul attacks.
Not only had the Spiritual Mind Master failed to control Li Chang’an, but he had also been wounded by Li Chang’an’s strange counterasure. His status—life or death—was now unknown.
Caught off guard, he didn’t dare continue chanting. Instead, he hurled the unfinished, half-ford spell directly at Li Chang’an.
It was a gigantic Black Tortoise.
Its entire body radiated a sense of imnse weight and hardness.
However, because the Technique was only half-cast, the Black Tortoise had no limbs. Only its massive, ghastly head possessed any Attack Power, while the sturdy shell on its back offered astonishing defense.
Li Chang’an chose not to clash head-on with the massive head of the tortoise.
Instead, he used his extre speed to circle around the Black Tortoise’s head and slash fiercely at the gray-robed Mage standing on its shell.
Although the Mage was still horrified by Li Chang’an’s terrifying speed.
However, at this point, escape was clearly not an option. Li Chang’an was a Martial Artist, and judging by his combat style, he was likely one who had focused on physical evolution.
Trying to outrun him was simply courting death.
So, he gritted his teeth, his gray robes fluttering without a wind, and the Black Tortoise’s massive shell suddenly expanded, enveloping him beneath a tortoise-shell Shield!
He had already clashed with Li Chang’an several tis before.
He knew just how terrifying Li Chang’an’s speed and power were when he attacked.
Therefore, he didn’t just cast the tortoise-shell Shield; he also simultaneously created a dozen rock barriers beneath it, ready to defend against any cunning attacks that might co.
But this ti was different from the last.
The Earth Mage had gotten a asure of Li Chang’an, and Li Chang’an had also gotten a asure of him during the fight. Thus, this ti, Li Chang’an held nothing back.
