The Qianling Team lost.
It was both reasonable and somewhat unexpected.
In the front row of Shrek, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan took the lead and charged directly towards the Qianling Team.
In response, the four Spirit Rhinoceros Shield naturally activated their defensive Soul Skill simultaneously, constructing an impenetrable defense.
Ice-controlling An Lengye was not to be outdone, with her Spirit Ring flashing one after another behind her.
A rich, icy blue hue instantly spread from the Frost Giant Bear, casting an icy blue glow over the deep yellow Spirit Rhinoceros Shield Wall, giving it an indestructible appearance.
First Soul Skill: Ice Shield.
It will increase the defensive power of the Spirit Rhinoceros Shield by at least 30%.
Immediately afterwards, a layer of icy blue light emerged from the ground and rapidly expanded outwards, causing the temperature on the competition stage to drop dramatically due to the icy aura.
Second Soul Skill: Ice Seal.
The three of Beibei, who were rushing forward, were noticeably slowed down by the freezing air.
An Lengye and his group's goal was to buy time.
As long as Captain Shen Ce finishes charging up, launches an attack, and takes down one of the opposing team's members first, everything will be alright.
These coordinations, though seemingly slow, are actually completed within a few seconds, and can be described as exquisitely precise.
But Huo Yuhao had something to say.
Trying to play with ice in front of him is like showing off your skills in front of Guan Yu (a legendary Chinese swordsman).
That's really like showing off one's limited skills before an expert.
Huo Yuhao merely activated the power of his Second Martial Soul, and with a single glance, he completely grasped An Lengye's control over Ice Element.
If Huo Yuhao wanted, he could even use An Lengye's own ice to quietly end her life.
This is the terrifying aspect of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, which controls the coldest ice and excels at ultra-low temperatures.
With the talent of Ice Soul Body-Mimicry, Huo Yuhao absorbed all its advantages and brought out the power of the Ice Empress to its fullest extent!
It can be said that in the current Douluo Continent...
No one understands Ice Element better than Huo Yuhao.
Even Ice Empress had to admit she was getting old.
Ice Empress: In terms of ice talent, I would call Yuhao the strongest!
Not long ago, Ice Empress lamented: Huo Yuhao didn't even need to absorb the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone; he was able to gradually comprehend how to use the Ice Explosion Technique on his own. In this respect, he was far inferior to Huo Yuhao.
Tian Meng said, "Basic operation, don't worry about it, we just need to lie down."
Elder Yi, however, believes that the Ice Empress's situation is due to the restrictions imposed by the rules of the Douluo Continent.
However, Huo Yuhao, who possesses a unique Gu Insect, can bypass these rules to some extent and find alternative paths.
Without saying a word, Ling Luochеn grabbed Huo Yuhao's right hand.
Huo Yuhao also skillfully weathered the extreme cold.
Ling Luochеn's Martial Soul's Ice Element attribute has been temporarily enhanced, leaping into the realm of Ultimate Ice!
She immediately raised the Ice Staff, which was transformed from her First Soul Ring, high above her head and pointed it into the air.
In an instant, a layer of icy blue light spread out from her body, turning her entire being into an icy blue hue.
At this moment, the four Spirit Rhinoceros Shield Soul Master were still sighing.
Why does An Lengye seem to be in such good form today? She's performing exceptionally well, her coldness captivating, as if she's reached a new level.
It seems they need to step up their efforts!
But An Lengye, whose face was An Lengye pale, had no words to express her suffering.
Run! That's not me!
With Soul Power Level of 45, she is the second member of the Qianling Team after the captain.
But at this moment, An Lengye has completely lost control of the Ice Element.
Even under the backlash of the Ice Element.
All the Soul Power within his body seemed to freeze, and his entire body felt as if it had been frozen solid. He felt a sense of utter Contend With.
She couldn't even utter a timely reminder.
It's been ruined.
As Ling Luochеn's jet-black fifth Spirit Ring suddenly shone brightly, he pointed his Ice Staff forward, and a ring of dark blue ice floated out.
The Ice Radiance Ring!
The chilling aura suddenly spread, causing the entire surface of the arena to quickly freeze over, and the protective shield of the Soul Tool was covered with a layer of frost.
Even the spectators watching the game.
At that moment, they all felt a chill and shivered.
Unlike Huo Yuhao's restrained Ice Soul Blade Domain.
Ling Luochеn's Ice Element is extremely adept at controlling large areas of the field, and now, with the enhancement of Ultimate Ice, it is even more chilling.
A dark blue ice ring floated into the air, swirling with blue light, and instantly released seven blue beams of light that shot towards the members of the Qianling Team.
The Ice Prison!
This is the combined effect of Ling Luochеn's first, third, and fifth Soul Skill.
Take control of the entire field instantly.
All six remaining members of the Qianling Team felt the extreme cold at the same time, and their vision blurred instantly.
They were still conscious, but their Martial Soul and Soul Power, along with the Soul Skill they were using, had all been frozen in the ice and snow.
Even if it's not the Ultimate Ice, Ling Luochеn's powerful magical control and elemental manipulation are enough to freeze the opponent for a period of time.
With Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice amplification, even if the opponent is also Soul King, it will be impossible for them to break free within at least ten minutes.
This is what makes the Ultimate Martial Soul so terrifying.
Seven ice sculptures suddenly appeared on the competition stage.
Shen Ce, who was frozen in place, was completely dumbfounded.
Where are my teammates? Help!
He was stunned for a moment before realizing that all seven of his companions had been turned into ice sculptures.
With a long roar, Shen Ce unleashed his full Soul Power, attempting to break free from the Ice Prison.
It's somewhat useful, but not much.
Looking at Fei Yuyan, who possessed the Blazing Tiger Martial Soul, she also had a helpless expression.
A hint of despair flashed in Shen Ce's eyes.
Is this the Soul King of Shrek?
This level of control intensity and efficiency is truly frustrating.
I voted.
Originally, the Qianling Team had secretly mocked Zhengtian Academy, a strong competitor in the same group, for being humiliated by a single Soul Ancestor from Shrek, who swept One-vs-Seven Sweep.
But when it came to them facing Shrek, they finally understood the injustices of the world.
Questioning, understanding, becoming.
As expected of the defending champions.
They were already down before Huo Yuhao, the team's main force, even had a chance to exert his full strength.
I'm sorry, I couldn't get Yuhao to use his full strength.
Therefore, the rest of the process can only be described as ravaging.
Faced with seven people who were almost unable to resist, the three of them, including Beibei, finished off the remaining enemies, and Shrek Academy once again won with an overwhelming advantage.
The supposedly impregnable Qianling Academy didn't even last a minute.
The fastest Team Battle legend!
Even the referee this time, Heavenly Fiend Douluo, was taken aback.
This level of Ice Element.
There's no mistake, it's absolutely the Ultimate Ice!!
He gave Ling Luochеn a deep look, then announced:
Shrek Academy wins.
Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei, standing atop the Imperial City, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, learning from Huo Yuhao's previous One-vs-Seven Sweep, he directly appointed the Empire's Imperial Protector Douluo as the referee for the Shrek Academy's subsequent competitions.
Otherwise, even a Soul Saint- level expert would likely suffer a great loss under the combined attack of Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochеn.
In that case, what will become of the empire's reputation?
At the same time, Xu Jiawei was also watching Huo Yuhao with great interest.
The Second Soul Skill of the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul: Simulation.
Even he, a Titled Douluo, couldn't see through it.
If he hadn't already known Shrek's information beforehand, Huo Yuhao would have completely deceived him. What a terrifying Martial Soul and unique Soul Skill!
The audience and representatives from each Academy were completely stunned.
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
This is Shrek Academy, the number one on the continent, an undefeated legend!
The students of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Master Academy all had stiff expressions on their faces, as if they had lost their ability to think, as if they too had been frozen by Ling Luochеn's Soul Skill.
Anyone with eyes could see the terrifying power of Ling Luochеn's Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill.
Who dares to say they wouldn't be controlled in the face of such Soul Skill?
In a match, even being controlled for just one second can determine the outcome of the game!
Shrek Academy only produced one Soul King, yet he astonished everyone with his skills, fully demonstrating the power of Shrek!
However, based on current information, Shrek Academy's home team...
Two Soul King, two Soul Emperor, and Huo Yuhao, a Soul Ancestor with Soul Emperor- level combat power—this lineup is truly outrageous.
Fortunately, only five regular players came.
Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief.
With Ling Luochеn and Xixi returning, the pressure on his shoulders as the team leader has been greatly reduced.
As usual, the Shrek Academy team did not linger and quickly left the venue to return to their hotel after the match.
As long as I can clock out early, I will never delay anything.
All that remained at the scene were the other Academy who were hotly debating how to counter Ling Luochеn's ice-type control abilities; how to deal with her had become the most popular topic of the day.
Shrek Academy did this simply to maintain its mystique and intimidate its rivals.
But now, it's all about confidence in one's own abilities.
Moreover, with the Round Robin now in progress, the outcome is already quite clear.
Among the group that Shrek Academy belongs to, only Zhengtian Academy and Qianling Academy pose any threat.
But they have all become Shrek's defeated foe.
The remaining teams were all incredibly bad.
In particular, the return of Ling Luochеn and Xixi filled the only gap in Shrek's Two-Two-Three battle strategy.
Qualifying is a done deal; there's absolutely no suspense.
Or rather, this is the kind of game that strong teams should be playing.
In the Round Robin, truly strong teams will leave themselves some leeway and will not casually reveal information about their Starting Member.
The real test will only begin in the round of 16 Elimination Round.
With the third round of the Round Robin over, Shrek Academy still has four matches to play, but the opponents in the next four matches are completely weak.
In four games, the Starting Member didn't even get a chance to play again.
One individual match, one Team Battle, and two Two-Two-Three matches were all won by the seven members of the Reserve Team.
The seven Reserve Team players also had a great time, and they even had some energy left to spare.
Beibei did not reveal the awakening of the Golden Sacred Dragon, Xu Sanshi's Black Tortoise Bloodline was not activated, Tang Ya's Blue Silver Domain remained hidden, Wang Dong'er's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was not used, He Caitou's Super Energy-Gathering Soul Tool Cannon was not used.
The only ones whose intelligence was leaked more were Xiao Xiao and Jiang Nannan.
Xiao Xiao had no intention of hiding her Twin Martial Souls, and instead perfectly utilized their advantages in the only Team Battle.
With seven wins out of seven, Shrek Academy successfully entered the final stage.
Elimination Round of 16.
Within the group, the one that advanced alongside Shrek Academy was Zhengtian Academy, which had previously suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Huo Yuhao, One-vs-Seven Sweep.
Since most groups have nine teams, the Round Robin will need three more days to finish after the Shrek Academy matches.
During these days, the Shrek Team has been receiving a lot of good news.
First of all, Dai Yueheng's injury has fully recovered. However, he did not play in the Round Robin, nor did he go to the venue to watch the game.
This is part of Wang Yan's plan.
Their only goal is the championship, and unless absolutely necessary, hiding their true strength will be more advantageous for the later matches.
Today, the day before the round of 16, Ma Xiaotao successfully returned to the team as a Soul Saint.
The reason it took so long was actually due to some extraordinary luck.
This time, she encountered a Crimson Flame Golden Phoenix with a very compatible attribute and a suitable age of just over 60,000 years.
Most importantly, the Crimson Flame Golden Phoenix dropped a precious piece of its left arm bone.
Yan Shaozhe naturally let Ma Xiaotao absorb it directly.
As for the delayed Soul Master Tournament schedule?
Yan Shaozhe disagreed.
With Huo Yuhao backing us up, what's there to be afraid of?
It's just Round Robin tournament, isn't this a sure win?
If he can't advance from the Round Robin stage, he should just resign on the spot.
That's why Ma Xiaotao arrived late today.
Chen Zifeng and Gongyang Mo have confirmed that they will not be able to come due to their injuries.
Shrek received no further reinforcements.
This means that Reserve Team will still be needed in team matches after the round of 16.
However, the Reserve Team members were unusually relaxed.
Slaying weaker opponents these days has boosted their confidence.
Furthermore, with Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao, and Dai Yueheng on the team, Shrek is now completely complete and truly has the posture of a defending champion.
Xu Sanshi continued to harass Jiang Nannan.
At his insistence and with Beibei's encouragement, Xu Sanshi teamed up with Jiang Nannan in the later Round Robin and made quite a splash.
Xu Sanshi originally thought that Jiang Nannan would treat him better afterward.
But it turned out to be just wishful thinking; Jiang Nannan remained as Bingbing to him as ever.
However, Xu Sanshi did not give up.
This attitude of repeated defeats and this persistent effort also left everyone extremely puzzled.
Especially the girls in the team.
Through these days of contact and their performance in the competition, they can see that.
Although Xu Sanshi usually seems cheeky, Xu Sanshi is a top-notch candidate in terms of strength, talent, character, and even looks.
I don't know why Jiang Nannan has such a strong prejudice against Xu Sanshi.
After being turned away by Jiang Nannan once again.
Xu Sanshi left dejectedly.
Xixi pulled Ling Luochеn aside and whispered, "Even in the Inner Court, a man like him is a rare resource, don't you think, Luo Chen?"
Ling Luochеn did not reply, but stared thoughtfully at Huo Yuhao's room.
"Hey, you're not eyeing Ma Xiaotao's little lover, are you? They're acting like they're newlyweds after a short separation, it's sickening."
Seeing Ling Luochеn's absent-minded look, Xixi started to complain.
" Yuhao is the Ultimate Ice..."
Ling Luochеn did not give a direct answer.
But at the same time, she also secretly made up her mind.
