Chapter 209: No, it's not plagiarism, it's borrowing!
Just as Flander was filled with suspicion due to the bloodstains on Grandmaster, the situation on the Soul Arena had already changed drastically! It wasn't Shrek Academy that moved first, but Canghui Academy.
The seven members of Canghui Academy rapidly shifted their footwork, instantly taking on a mysterious position, their soul power intertwined, forming a strange formation.
"Seven Asura Illusion!"
Immediately afterward, the seven shouted simultaneously, their soul rings flashing wildly.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple! Seven beams of light, each different yet equally dazzling, shot up from their bodies, intertwining and merging above the Soul Arena, forming a magnificent yet terrifyingly powerful light screen!
The next second, the seven-colored light instantly magnified, completely enveloping the entire Soul Arena.
"What?!"
Flander's pupils contracted sharply at the sight before him. He could no longer focus on the strange phenomenon on Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang; his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock,
"This...this is a Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion Technique?!"
In his understanding, only the highest-level Spirit Fusion Technique could trigger such a phenomenon, with the soul power and spirits of seven people perfectly fused together!
Thinking of the terrifying power this Spirit Fusion Technique might bring, Flander was instantly filled with anxiety. His soul power erupted, and he was about to rush onto the fighting stage to forcibly interrupt the match.
"Flander! Calm down!"
Just as he moved, a cold and powerful hand grabbed his arm, forcefully pulling him back; it was Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang!
Abruptly shaking off Grandmaster's hand, Flander, his face flushed with anxiety and anger, pointed at the increasingly dazzling seven-colored light on the stage and roared at Grandmaster:
"Xiaogang! At a time like this, you still want me to calm down?!"
"This is a seven-in-one spirit fusion technique! Do you want to just watch those little monsters die on the fighting stage?!"
However, facing Flander's rage, Grandmaster's brows were furrowed, but his eyes were unusually calm, even carrying an analytical glint, as he said in a deep voice:
"No! Flander, look closely! Their spirit origins haven't truly merged; although their soul power fluctuations are connected, they are still clearly distinct! This shouldn't be a seven-in-one spirit fusion technique. If I'm not mistaken, this is more like... a seven-in-one fusion technique!"
Not far away, on the Tianxing Academy side,
Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and others couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when they saw the dazzling yet dangerous seven-colored light soaring into the sky on the fighting stage.
"What? This...this is a Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion Technique?" Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes were filled with shock. This was the first time she had ever seen a Spirit Fusion Technique of such scale.
Hearing this, Dugu Bo, sitting beside her, slowly shook his head, a knowing glint in his emerald eyes. He said in a hoarse voice,
"No, Yan Yan, sense it carefully. Although the energy of this seven-colored light is enormous, it is impure and mixed. The seven soul power origins have not fully merged. This should only be a Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, not a Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion Technique."
Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, and said with some confusion, "Grandpa, aren't the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique and the Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion Technique the same? They both involve seven people exerting their power together."
Dugu Bo glanced at her and explained calmly:
"How can these be confused? A true seven-in-one spirit fusion skill is the perfect fusion of the spirits of seven people, giving birth to a completely new power far exceeding the sum of their individual abilities. It's something that can only be encountered by chance. But this one is merely a fusion skill forcibly pieced together like building blocks, relying on the characteristics of each person's soul skill. Its power may be considerable, but it also has many flaws. It's fundamentally different."
After explaining, he turned to Tang Chuan, who had been silently observing beside him, and asked,
"Kid, do you think those people from Shrek Academy can hold them off?"
Tang Chuan habitually stroked his chin, his gaze slightly narrowed, as if his vision could penetrate the dazzling seven-colored light screen and see the situation inside. He calmly said:
"It should be possible. The seven-person fusion technique from Canghui Academy is flashy but impractical, the energy is scattered. With Tang San and Dai Mubai's strength, they might be able to withstand it with their full defense."
"However, after the Canghui Academy people used their fusion technique, the seven-colored light obscured the entire Soul Arena, and it was impossible to see what was happening inside from the outside... I think they're going to be in trouble later."
"In trouble?" Dugu Bo looked at Tang Chuan with some doubt, puzzled:
"What do you mean by that? Could Shrek Academy possibly pull off something inside?"
Tang Chuan's lips curled into a cold arc, and he said meaningfully:
"Old Poison, with Tang San's vengeful and ruthless nature, do you think he would let go of such a perfect opportunity to extract the life force and soul power of others for cultivation when everyone's vision is obscured?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback, then a sharp light flashed in his emerald eyes, and he immediately understood Tang Chuan's implication, and whispered:
"You mean... Tang San will take advantage of the situation to use his Blue Silver Grass's evil devouring ability to absorb the life force and soul power of everyone from Canghui Academy?"
"That's right." Tang Chuan nodded, a calculating look appearing in his eyes. He said,
"Tang San's strength is currently weakened, and he desperately needs power. How could he possibly resist such a convenient opportunity? This seven-colored mist is the perfect cover for him."
"But this is also good! If he dares to do this evil thing in full view of everyone, after the competition ends and the seven-colored light dissipates, if the people from Canghui Academy show signs of depleted life force... we can take this opportunity to report Shrek Academy to the competition organizers!"
"Although the seven-colored light can obscure the view, as long as we detect that the life force of the people from Canghui Academy is damaged, it will be enough to give Shrek Academy a hard time."
...
On the other side, in the spectator stands of Shrek Academy.
Grandmaster's gaze was fixed on the seven-colored light screen on the arena, which he saw as riddled with flaws. His eyes, previously clouded by his spirit, suddenly flashed with a terrifying light!
Then, an almost manic excitement surged across his haggard face.
"Flander! I...I've found it! I've found a way to defeat Tianxing Academy and Spirit Hall Academy!" He took a step forward, grabbing Flander's arm, his voice filled with barely suppressed fervor.
Flander was taken aback by this sudden burst of excitement. Looking at the almost obsessive light in Grandmaster's eyes, his heart tightened, and he asked in confusion:
"Xiaogang? What...what do you mean? What method?"
He couldn't fathom what sure way Grandmaster could possibly have to defeat the unfathomable Tianxing Academy and the terrifyingly powerful Spirit Hall Academy.
Grandmaster slowly released his grip, pointing excitedly at the Soul Arena, as if surveying the world:
"Look! Canghui Academy! With those few mediocre talents, relying on the meager connection of their mere gemstone spirits, they can barely manage to cobble together this seven-in-one fusion technique!"
His tone was filled with disdain, then shifted to extreme confidence.
"If they can do it, why can't we at Shrek Academy?! We can completely copy their model! No, not copy, but learn from it!"
"Then we can create a unique seven-in-one fusion technique belonging solely to Shrek Academy, far surpassing the power of Canghui Academy! Or even a seven-in-one spirit fusion technique!"
