Three black, two red, one orange—finally, an orange-dominant soul ring with various intricate patterns.

Seven rings!

Seven-ring Soul Saint!

No, at this moment, no one was shocked by Su Yu's seven-ring cultivation.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Su Yu's two brilliant, blood-red soul rings.

The terrifying pressure brought by the 100,000-year soul rings was undeniable. The best soul ring combination of the youth from the Dragon Slaying Sect—two yellow, two purple, and one black—seemed to pale in comparison. The youth's face changed drastically, and for a moment, he did not charge toward Su Yu.

Long Xiaoyao, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and gazed at Su Yu.

The fourth soul ring—red!

After the initial shock, a hint of reason returned, and some began to question the authenticity of Su Yu's soul rings.

After all, Su Yu's soul ring combination was well-known—his first four rings had been one yellow, two purple, and one black.

But now, the first four rings had changed to three black and one red.

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Soon, someone from Shrek slammed the table, exclaiming that it couldn't be true.

But Long Xiaoyao wore a grave expression.

He knew very well that soul ring age could be increased.

However, the Holy Spirit Sect had no connection to this kid—how could his soul rings have been enhanced?

Could it be that he had hunted innocent people, using their souls to fill his rings?

If that were the case, I'd personally eliminate this kid.

Su Yu paid no attention to the shocked onlookers.

While the youth was still stunned, Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass had already spread and quickly ensnared him. The overwhelming strength left the youth with no chance to resist.

His third soul ring flickered, and his power surged instantly. Sharp bull horns sprouted from his shoulders, yet he still couldn't break free from Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass.

The terrifying force coiled around him, and the youth fell into a deep despair.

His first soul ring flashed—Force of the Wild Bull.

With a certain effect of body enhancement, his power increased, and he temporarily lost the sense of pain, making his defense rise dramatically.

His fifth soul ring also flickered.

The youth's eyes turned blood-red, and an immense force erupted from him.

Yet, it only managed to snap a portion of the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around him. Against the endlessly regenerating Blue Silver Grass, this damage was negligible, and the broken strands were swiftly replaced by new growth.

"Judge, I believe he no longer has any ability to resist," Su Yu called out to the referee.

The youth from the Dragon Slaying Sect wore a face full of despair. When met with the referee's questioning gaze, he could only express his unwillingness.

He struggled continuously but couldn't escape Su Yu's binding force.

"Su Yu, victory."

Dragon Slaying Sect's Waiting Area, a Stifling Silence

"I'm not sure about the color of his soul rings, but his soul power has undoubtedly reached the Soul Saint level. In fact, it might even be beyond that of an ordinary Soul Saint," the captain of the Dragon Slaying Sect spoke up.

The overwhelming impact and pressure of his soul power were far beyond what could be simulated artificially.

"Feng Shen, go up and try to drain his soul power."

A lean young man, upon hearing the captain's instructions, immediately stepped onto the arena.

"Begin the match!"

As the referee's voice echoed, Feng Shen instantly activated his martial soul, transforming into a flash of lightning that shot toward the sky.

Around his body, five soul rings floated in the perfect combination of two yellow, two purple, and one black.

Feng Shen's martial soul was the Electric Falcon, a speed-based attack martial soul with the ability to fly.

Su Yu narrowed his eyes, showing no sign of fear against a flying-type soul master.

The arena was made entirely of pure metal, which slightly hindered his Blue Silver Domain, but it was not a significant issue.

During the first match, Blue Silver Grass had already spread across the entire arena, centered around Su Yu.

Additionally, Blue Silver Grass at the edges of the arena had rooted themselves into the ground, drawing nutrients to support all the Blue Silver Grass within the domain.

Su Yu's fourth blood-red soul ring flickered.

Sharp sword energy began to gather on the Blue Silver Grass, spiraling upwards, and forming a massive sword energy storm.

Feng Shen's face changed dramatically.

Such a scale of sword energy storm?

His third soul ring flashed, and he transformed into a flash of lightning, avoiding the storm and trying to dodge the range of the sword energies.

However, the sword energy storm was entirely under Su Yu's control—it was impossible for him to avoid it so easily.

"Ah!"

The sword light flashed, and the sword energy struck the lightning, accompanied by a blood-curdling scream.

Feng Shen's voice echoed out.

"I surrender!"

The sword energy storm instantly dissipated.

A figure collapsed onto the arena.

Feng Shen's state was dire, covered in numerous wounds, with residual sword energy still swirling around the cuts.

Su Yu did not achieve a clean sweep of seven victories in a row.

The reason was that after four individual elimination matches, the Dragon Slaying Sect had chosen to forfeit.

Even their captain, the only Soul Emperor-level powerhouse, was easily defeated by Su Yu, leaving them with no choice but to forfeit.

The first round of elimination matches required over eighty battles, with the pace being incredibly tight.

Back in the rest area, Su Yu glanced toward the Shrek team.

It was obvious that their atmosphere was heavy.

Whether or not the soul ring combination was real, it was clear that Su Yu's strength was immense.

Especially as Su Tong had confirmed for the Shrek team's fourteen members that Su Yu's soul power had indeed reached the Soul Saint level—and even surpassed hers.

"Everyone, don't get discouraged. We still have a chance. Su Tong is the embodiment of Ultimate Ice, and her martial soul is the Snow Maiden. If we can cooperate, we can definitely defeat the Sun Moon Royal Team."

A fragile-looking girl in the team spoke up, trying to comfort her teammates.

Her martial soul was the Ice Phoenix. With Su Tong's support, she could temporarily unleash the attributes of Ultimate Ice.

With her soul power at level fifty-seven, powerful soul skills, and the Ultimate Ice attribute, her strength was at least at the Soul Emperor level.

In addition, the other six main team members were all capable of unleashing Soul Emperor-level strength, and if they cooperated with Su Tong, they would have a good chance of victory.

The rest area had soundproofing and other measures in place. By inputting their soul power, they activated this function, ensuring that their tactical discussions couldn't be overheard.

Su Yu observed the Shrek team's reaction without any worry.

You think I'm just a Soul Saint?

You haven't seen my Battle Armor yet.

The first round of elimination matches had over eighty battles. It couldn't be completed in one day, and according to the schedule, there were four full days allocated for it.

That meant after Su Yu's first match, he would have four days of rest.

The Sun Moon Royal Team left one member, Old Ma from Sun-Moon Hall, to stay behind and observe, collecting data. The other participants from their team left the venue, preparing to return for training.

This was absolute confidence.

"Stop!" In the Shrek rest area, Wang Dong, who had been silent until now, suddenly rushed out of the area, shouting at the departing Sun Moon Royal Team.

Xiao Xiao and He Caitou stood behind Wang Dong, watching the familiar young man from the Sun Moon Royal Team.

"Huo Yuhao!" Wang Dong called out.

The members of the Sun Moon Royal Team all turned around.

Huo Yuhao was the one being called out, while everyone else, including Su Yu, was curious and eager to watch.

"Wang Dong, what's going on?" A tall, muscular man from the Shrek team asked.

Su Tong furrowed her brows, noticing Wang Dong's emotional outburst. She decided to ask Xiao Xiao and He Caitou, who seemed to understand the situation.

"Do you know that person from the Sun Moon Royal Team?"

Xiao Xiao, seeing Huo Yuhao's face clearly, could still recognize him despite the many changes since they last saw him.

She spoke, "Captain, Huo Yuhao was in our year at the academy. He and Wang Dong were assigned to the same dorm. He was our class president back then. He didn't have the best talent, but he worked hard. However, after the summer break in the first year, he disappeared."
