Lin Fan was slightly puzzled. Logically, the Sky Eye was a product of the system, meaning no one should have been able to detect it. Yet, something felt off.
Meanwhile, the seven members of Spirit Hall and the seven warriors of the Po Yi Clan stepped onto the stage.
Besides Bibi Dong and the two girls with heterochromatic eyes, the remaining four men from Spirit Hall exuded a formidable aura. The tension between the two sides was palpable, the hostility thick in the air.
The captain of the Po Yi Clan, an 18-year-old named Yang Tiansheng, stood at the forefront. His sharp gaze locked onto the Spirit Hall team with an unmistakable coldness. His voice carried a chilling undertone as he spoke.
"Spirit Hall, don't assume that only the Clear Sky Team stands a chance against you. We, the Po Yi Clan, are more than capable of shattering your so-called undefeated legend. Our Soul-Breaking Spear is no weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer."
Bibi Dong, standing at the helm of the Spirit Hall team, regarded him with a calm, unreadable expression. "We don't underestimate anyone," she replied evenly. "But you should consider your choices carefully. If you step onto this stage and lose, you may not leave alive. It's not too late to turn back."
Yang Tiansheng smirked, his eyes flashing with defiance. "You think we fear death? The seven of us stepped into this life-or-death arena fully prepared. I've seen what you did to the Yu Clan and the Li Clan. You killed them without mercy. But did it ever cross your mind that you, too, could die here? That your life could end, skewered by my Soul-Breaking Spear?"
Lin Fan, observing from a distance, chuckled softly.
"This guy sure knows how to talk big," he mused. "Does he not realize he's courting death? Oh well, let them fight it out. The Po Yi Clan isn't exactly loyal to the Haotian Sect anyway. It won't hurt to let them suffer a little."
Beside him, Tang Huo'er remained silent.
With a sudden shift in energy, the arena was sealed. The members of the Po Yi Clan wasted no time. In perfect synchronization, all seven warriors released their martial spirits—the Soul-Breaking Spears.
The spears gleamed with an imposing golden light, exuding an aura of sacred power. It was a sight to behold.
Among the Po Yi Clan team were two Soul Kings and five Soul Sect members. Their Soul-Breaking Spears were known for their destructive capabilities, and against most opponents, this formation would be an unstoppable force. But against Spirit Hall, their strength suddenly seemed inadequate.
Spirit Hall remained composed.
Only Bibi Dong, the two girls with heterochromatic eyes, and a supporting male soul master released their spirits. The remaining three members stood idly by, not even bothering to activate their martial souls. It was an open declaration—they didn't consider this fight worthy of their full strength.
The moment Bibi Dong's soul rings lit up, a ripple of shock passed through the Po Yi Clan's ranks.
Six dazzling soul rings hovered beneath Bibi Dong's feet—two yellow, two purple, and two black.
The two heterochromatic-eyed girls and the assisting male soul master each revealed their soul rings—five rings, proving them all to be Soul Kings.
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow in mild surprise.
"If my guess is right, the entire team consists of one Soul Emperor and six Soul Kings," he thought. "That's an almost invincible combination at this level."
Yang Tiansheng clenched his fists. He had underestimated them. But it was too late for regrets. On this stage, any hesitation meant death.
"Formation!" he roared.
The seven warriors immediately lifted their Soul-Breaking Spears, their bodies moving in perfect sync. A golden light flared around them as they executed their battle strategy.
Their spears shot into the air, glowing with a divine brilliance. They began to interlock, forming a powerful Soul-Breaking Spear Formation.
In mere moments, the formation was complete. The seven fighters stood in a strategic stance—three at the base, two in the middle, and Yang Tiansheng alone at the top. The seven Soul-Breaking Spears floated above him, their tips aimed forward like divine weapons ready to strike.
Yang Tiansheng's voice rang across the arena, his tone unwavering.
"Spirit Hall! Come and fight!"
Yang Tiansheng picked up one of the Soul-Breaking Spears and swung it swiftly. In an instant, the remaining six Soul-Breaking Spears shot toward the seven members of Spirit Hall.
Controlling seven Soul-Breaking Spears with a single person's power, the Soul-Breaking Spear Formation was indeed formidable. When wielded individually, the spears couldn't reach their full potential. However, when guided by one person while drawing upon the combined soul power of seven, they could unleash a devastating unified attack.
The six spears converged at a single point in midair. Lin Fan's eyes widened in shock—he knew that the combined strength of these six Soul-Breaking Spears was nearly on par with Tang Huo'er's Haotian Wheel of Destruction. Even Bibi Dong herself might struggle to withstand it.
Just then, the auxiliary-type Soul King from Spirit Hall activated his spirit—a gourd—which began to glow. He released a soul skill that enhanced the attributes of Bibi Dong and the two girls with heterochromatic eyes.
"Fourth Soul Skill—Thorn Spider Armor!"
Bibi Dong immediately unleashed her fourth soul skill. A misty blue Spider Emperor Armor materialized over her body, fortifying her defenses. She brandished her eight bone spurs, now enveloped in the same armor, transforming them into fearsome purple spikes.
With this enhancement, Bibi Dong's defense had reached its peak.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
The six Soul-Breaking Spears clashed against Bibi Dong's eight purple bone spurs, generating intense soul power fluctuations in the air. The force of the impact forced the others behind Bibi Dong to retreat several steps. However, Bibi Dong and the two girls with heterochromatic eyes stood firm.
"She actually blocked it?" Lin Fan murmured, astonished. The defensive power of Bibi Dong's fourth soul skill was truly formidable. Not only did it bolster her resilience, but it also enhanced her attack and piercing capabilities significantly.
