829 -31: Show Off Skills
The song of sea monsters is the horn that signals the start of the battle.
The entire arena instantly fell into chaos, and even the sea monsters and the Red Emperor, high above the battlefield, could feel the restless power contained in the ocean currents.
“I still believe that Junlin’s strength will earn the fear of all marine beasts; as long as it remains on the battlefield, other creatures will stand no chance.
It seems only logical to join forces against it first.”
Of course, the Red Emperor also hoped to see Junlin sweep away all obstacles with its overwhelming force, but this idea had become somewhat impractical—
Because right now—the situation on the battlefield had already turned very strange.
The sea monsters opened their eyes wide, clearly not expecting such a turn of events.
The vast battlefield was asymmetric, yet the participants were distributed in a dispersed, symmetrical manner.
Junlin stood slightly below the center, while Tang Xian stood right in the middle.
Out of the twenty Challengers, the remaining eighteen had tacitly split into two teams of nine each.
The two teams seemed completely oblivious to Junlin and Tang Xian, instead embroiling themselves in a fierce brawl against each other, a fight to the death.
The atmosphere of slaughter and the violent clashes shattered the battlefield during the battle between the two teams of sea creatures.
Junlin watched this scene with some confusion; the destructive power of these sea creatures was indeed great, and if they truly united, it would give it a bit of trouble.
But how did these weaker sea creatures manage to do this?
Why did these sea creatures seem to disregard it?
This puzzlement was felt by Junlin, as well as the Red Emperor and the sea monsters.
“What in the world is going on?”
The reality was too starkly opposed, leaving the sea monsters dumbfounded.
The Red Emperor glanced at Tang Xian who, instead of joining the fray, was gesturing with his hands and said:
“Perhaps it has something to do with that human.”
The sea monsters looked towards Tang Xian, who at this moment, stood on the edge of the battlefield, indeed untouched by the two groups.
“Do they not know how strong Junlin is?”
“In fact, even we are not sure how strong Junlin really is, right?”
The Red Emperor’s rhetorical question left the sea monsters deep in thought.
But no matter how hard it pondered, it still didn’t understand what Tang Xian had done.
On the vast arena, it was as if Junlin and Tang Xian had been eliminated, with the two groups engaged in a 9v9 battle.
Tang Xian was like a symphony orchestra conductor.
His gestures were incomprehensible, at least to Junlin, the Red Emperor, and the sea monsters.
However, the leaders of the two groups of sea creatures could understand them.
Right now, a fierce team battle was underway.
The sea creatures also began to reveal their own abilities.
The Mirror-horned Shark, ranked second, owned the strongest defensive power in the deep sea, even stronger than the Ice Spur Turtle with its thick shell.
Because the Mirror-horned Shark could use its Soul Crystal to conjure a massive mirror, any attack, no matter its form, would be deflected by the mirror.
The Mirror-horned Shark, relying on this mirror, shielded all its teammates during the most ferocious attacks of their opponents.
For a time, the opposing team led by the sixth-ranked Soul Splitting Monster, suffered injuries, and even one weaker sea creature, ranked seventeenth, was grievously wounded.
This exchange appeared to give the team led by the Mirror-horned Shark the upper hand.
But as Tang Xian’s hand signals changed, the Soul Splitting Monster also unleashed its secret technique.
A dim, sight-obscuring black mist descended over the space where the two groups of sea creatures were fighting.
Junlin was somewhat wary of the Mirror-horned Shark, wondering if it could break through that mirror.
But in the next second, it witnessed an even more miraculous sight.
Division.
The Mirror-horned Shark split into an illusion, and the Soul Splitting Monster did the same.
Not just the leaders of the two teams, but every sea creature in that black mist duplicated itself into an almost indistinguishable illusion.
At this moment, Tang Xian’s hand movements became wide and sweeping.
And the Soul Splitting Monster roared with passion:
[Charge, all units!]
Illusions and originals, at this moment, all obeyed the Soul Splitting Monster, beginning a mad assault.
Meanwhile, the team with the Mirror-horned Shark seemed to have a part of their souls split off, collectively feeling a wave of weakness.
“Such a powerful ability.
A shame it wasn’t used on Junlin,” the sea monsters remarked while watching the scene.
The sea monster knew the abilities of the Soul Splitting Monster.
In a one-on-one scenario, this ability was already very significant, forcibly weakening the opponent while creating an identical illusion of them.
After this exchange, the battle situation often saw astonishing reversals.
“In single combat, even if it were used on Junlin, it would be far from Junlin’s match,” the Red Emperor said as it watched the battlefield, calculating the benefits brought by the Soul Splitting Monster’s ability.
If the Mirror-horned Shark’s mirror reflection had significantly tilted victory in its favor earlier, the display of the Soul Splitting Monster’s ability had now instantaneously recouped the advantage, and with this charge, even caught the Mirror-horned Shark off guard.
The Mirror-horned Shark was indeed strong, defeating its opponents with defensive counters.
But at this moment, the Soul Splitting Monster’s team didn’t target the Mirror-horned Shark, focusing solely on the other sea creatures instead.
Most terrifying was that the illusion of the Mirror-horned Shark also possessed the Mirror-horned Shark’s abilities.
Naturally, the illusion was no match for the original in terms of strength, speed, physicality, or ability.
But even so, whenever that reflective mirror appeared, it greatly demoralized the opponents.
