Battle Against Blazing Academy, Tang San's Fourth Spirit Ability
In the first match of the eleventh round, Shrek Academy Team and Blazing Academy Team will compete in the central Spirit Dueling Platform, and they will be the focus of today's matches.
For the Shrek Academy students, although their opponents were inferior to the Elephant Armored Sect in terms of Soul Power —after all, they only had two Soul Ancestor above level 40—their strength was undeniable, given their ability to defeat the Elephant Armored Sect.
As the tactician, Tang San quickly determined the personnel to participate in this battle: Tang San, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Tai Long, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, and Jiang Zhu.
They chose the same lineup they used against the Elephant Armored Academy, but replaced Zhu Zhuqing with Xiao Wu.
Fourteen players from both sides entered the arena. The referee walked to the center of the Spirit Dueling Platform and said, "Both sides, line up and salute."
The fourteen members from both sides stood in two rows, each bowing to the other. Dai Mubai's gaze met Huo Wushuang's, while Tang San's gaze inevitably met Huo Wu's.
The match hadn't even started, but the tension was already palpable in their stares.
Surprisingly, Huo Wushuang stared at Dai Mubai without showing any fear of this level 55 Spirit King, the strongest cultivator in the history of the competition. Their gazes clashed fiercely, and Huo Wushuang said in a deep voice, "Today is the day your winning streak ends."
Dai Mubai said calmly, "Is that so? Today, one of our teams will have to break their winning streak. Since you're so confident, let me see your strength and see if you can make me use my full strength."
"You are indeed very strong, perhaps even the strongest opponent we've ever faced, bar none." Huo Wushuang said, shifting his gaze to Tang San beside Dai Mubai. "But it's a pity. If your Control System Spirit Master weren't plant-type, we might not have had any chance. But now..."
"Besides you, are you relying on that Agile Attack System girl? Or are you relying on Tang San with his Plant-type Martial Soul? As long as we deal with your teammates, I don't believe the seven of us can't take you down."
How could Dai Mubai not know that plant-type Soul Master are naturally countered by fire-type Soul Master? Tang San is undoubtedly the most important link in the Shrek Team. Once he is restricted by the opponent, with the current personnel, they may only be able to rely on himself to defeat Blazing Academy.
However, since Tang San himself wasn't worried, Dai Mubai wasn't actually too concerned about it either.
Tang San's Blue Silver King is indeed afraid of fire, but he still has a hidden Fourth Spirit Ability as a trump card, so he may still have a chance.
Even assuming Tang San's performance in this match was limited, could his opponent really defeat him with only two low-level Soul Ancestor and five Soul Elders? At worst, they would simply not hide their strength.
"You may release your Martial Soul now," the referee's voice rang out again. In an instant, the central arena shone brightly once more.
The dazzling light of the Soul Ring filled the entire Spirit Dueling Platform, and there was no doubt that both sides had the best Soul Ring combinations.
However, the Shrek Academy Team obviously has more Soul Ring. Dai Mubai five best Soul Ring, Tang San and Xiao Wu are both Soul Ancestor, and they are accompanied by four three-ring Soul Elder.
Although the Blazing Academy was all made of crimson Crimson Flame, the temperature around the entire Spirit Dueling Platform rose considerably just by releasing their Martial Soul, making them visually imposing. However, they only had two Soul Ancestor, while the remaining five were merely Soul Elder.
However, even when facing Dai Mubai, who was at the forefront of the Shrek Academy Team and had five Soul Rings, the Blazing Academy did not flinch in the slightest.
In their view, this match wasn't without a chance. Dai Mubai was indeed powerful, but what does Team Battle test? It's the overall strength.
The difference in level is not necessarily the key to determining the outcome of a match. Otherwise, Shrek Academy could just go up and report their Soul Power Level directly. Why would they need to defeat others one by one?
Tang San's gaze had been fixed on the tall girl named Huo Wu ever since the line began.
Her name, like Xiao Wu's, contains the character "Wu," but Tang San had a very peculiar feeling about this girl.
Although she always had a smile on her face, her aura was very restrained. Even with Tang San's strength and Purple Demon Eye, he could not easily see what this girl was hiding.
As the Martial Soul rises, an invisible pressure presses against each other like two enormous walls.
As the referee stepped back, both teams immediately resumed their familiar formations. Blazing Academy maintained their triangular battle formation from the start, with Huo Wushuang at the head, two Fire Crane Soul Elder and Huo Bao Soul Elder, totaling four, positioned in the front line, Huo Wu in the center, and two Huo Xing Martial Soul Elder at the rear.
On the Shrek Academy's side, Dai Mubai, Tai Long, and the other two stood at the front, Jiang Zhu was at the back, and Tang San, Xiao Wu, Jing Ling, and Huang Yuan were in the middle.
In terms of formation, Blazing Academy's formation undoubtedly looks more aggressive, while Shrek Academy's formation is relatively more conservative.
"The match begins." With the release of their Martial Soul, both teams moved simultaneously at the referee's command.
Dai Mubai suddenly took a step forward, causing the entire arena to tremble. Tai Long followed beside him, and the two of them pressed down on each other with Thunderous Might force.
Boom! At that very moment, Lie Yan erupted and surged within the Blazing Academy Team's formation, filling half of the arena with a scorching heat.
Almost simultaneously, Lie Yan erupted from the seven members of the Blazing Academy, and each of their first Soul Ring released dazzling brilliance.
Huo Xing flew from their two Support System Spirit Masters, and countless tiny red dots of light in the air rapidly converged towards those Huo Xing. As the red dots of light condensed, the Huo Xing grew larger and hovered above the seven people's heads.
Huo Wushuang and another Assault System Huo Bao Soul Elder charged forward. A loud dragon roar erupted from his mouth, and flames rose from his body, vaguely forming a dragon shape on his back. His Martial Soul Possession had swelled up, and the use of his First Spirit Ability caused a layer of blazing dark red scales to cover his skin.
Two Agile Attack System Soul Master, Huo Yun and Huo Yu, simultaneously circled around, each releasing a pair of dazzling wings from their backs. Although they did not fly high, they glided around in a strange arc, their target being Tang San and Jiang Zhu, who were positioned in the center and rear of the Shrek Team.
After dazzling Huo Xing condensed in the air, they were quickly injected into the bodies of others. Each Huo Xing injected made the flames on the students of the Blazing Academy burn even brighter.
Without a doubt, this is an extremely well-coordinated team, and they have been establishing their advantage from the very beginning of the match.
On the battlefield, only three people remained completely still: Tang San and Jiang Zhu from the Shrek Academy, and their opponent was Huo Wu, a Control System Spirit Master.
Jiang Zhu remained still because her ability was healing, and it wasn't time to heal yet.
Tang San and Huo Wu remained staring at each other, neither of them making a move.
Huang Yuan and Jing Ling simultaneously dodged to the side, meeting the opponent's two Agile Attack System Soul Master, while Xiao Wu charged directly towards Huo Wu, the only one in the Blazing Academy Team who hadn't made a Huo Wu.
Meanwhile, the two sides clashed violently. At this moment, Dai Mubai had already released his first and Third Spirit Ability. Under the effect of the two amplifying Soul Skill, his aura, which had already reached level 55, surged even more.
However, Huo Wushuang did not back down at all. At the same time, the two Huo Xing Support System Soul Elder had three Soul Rings, two yellow and one purple, flashing on their bodies. They once again sent out several more Huo Xing into Huo Wushuang's body, which directly boosted his condition even more.
Huo Wushuang also used his Third Spirit Ability to amplify his strength, making himself as close as possible to Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai struck out with his tiger paw, and Huo Wushuang clashed with his Crimson Flame Dragon Claws. With a loud bang, both of their bodies jolted simultaneously. Dai Mubai remained motionless, while Huo Wushuang staggered back five steps before barely managing to regain his footing.
The gap between the two is too great. Dai Mubai level 55, while Huo Wushuang is only level 42. Even with the full support of two Support System Spirit Masters, Huo Wushuang's strength can only barely reach the level of Spirit King. Compared with Dai Mubai, he is still far behind.
However, Huo Wushuang showed no fear after being knocked back. With a roar, he used his second and fourth Soul Skill again, disregarding the consumption of Soul Power, and charged forward again, transforming into a fiery dragon and crashing into Dai Mubai without any fancy moves. All he had to do was to hold Dai Mubai back with all his might.
Although the gap between Huo Wushuang and Dai Mubai is huge, Huo Wushuang is not without the ability to fight back. As long as Huo Wushuang is repelled, when Dai Mubai tries to press his advantage, the Huo Xing that gather in the sky will fall directly on Huo Wushuang.
As the Huo Xing fell, a ring of golden-red light suddenly burst forth from Huo Wushuang's body, and the immense energy expanded rapidly, actually knocking back Dai Mubai's domineering attack.
Although they failed to injure Dai Mubai, they did give Huo Wushuang a chance to catch her breath.
Those three people, who appear to be two support and one controller, can actually be regarded as three Control System Spirit Masters. The two tall guys are not just ordinary Support System Spirit Master, but very unique support- Control System.
On the battlefield, they control the battlefield with their support abilities and selectively provide assistance to their teammates. In a sense, these two can also be considered top-tier Support System Spirit Master.
Although they cannot achieve group control, two people assisting one person at the same time can undoubtedly greatly enhance that person's strength in a short period of time. Perhaps this is an important reason why they only have two Assault System Spirit Masters.
"What a fine support control technique." Dai Mubai's eyes lit up, and he sneered at Huo Wushuang, "Is this the confidence you have to face me alone?"
"However, they are only level 37, and their strength will eventually run out. How long can you hold them off?"
Huo Wushuang ignored Dai Mubai's psychological tactics and continued her all-out attack, giving Dai Mubai no chance to support the others.
At the same time, Tai Long and the Huo Bao Soul Elder also clashed. Although Tai Long's strength was immense and his Soul Power Level was one level higher than his opponent's, with the amplification of Support System Spirit Master, the Huo Bao Soul Elder could barely hold his own against Tai Long.
Dai Mubai and Tai Long were held back in front of them. Although Xiao Wu charged towards Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang was confident that Huo Wu was not afraid of being caught by the Agile Attack System Xiao Wu.
In the Shrek Academy battle formation, Huo Yun and Huo Yu were both level 39, and with the amplification of two Support System, their strength was almost on par with that of Soul Ancestor. The Shrek Academy Team only had two level 35 Soul Elder by Tang San's side.
Although Tang San's control ability is outstanding, he is still only a plant-type Soul Master. Even if he is a level 44 Soul Ancestor, he cannot pose a threat to Huo Yun and Huo Yu.
Faced with such a huge gap in strength, Huo Wushuang believed that as long as Huo Yun and Huo Yu dealt with the four people behind the enemy, they could turn back to provide support, and the scales of victory would instantly tip in their favor.
But is it really that simple? As the strategist, would Tang San really expose his weaknesses so easily? Just as Huo Yun was fighting Huang Yuan and Huang Yuan Jing Ling, and the two of them were frantically attacking the two with their raging Lie Yan and suppressed Soul Power Level, suddenly, several cold lights silently arrived. Caught off guard, the two of them could not dodge in time, and several wounds appeared on their bodies instantly, with blood splattering!
Turning his head, Tang San's Fourth Spirit Ring shone with purple light, and countless crystal-clear emerald green blades appeared on his hands, resembling the leaves of Blue Silver Grass.
This is Tang San's Fourth Spirit Ability — Plucking Leaves and Flying Flowers. His Fourth Spirit Ring was taken from a seven-thousand-year-old Vajra Vine, and its Soul Skill effect is only one: to transform the originally fragile Blue Silver Grass leaves into blades and hidden Hidden Weapon comparable to diamonds.
For most Support System Spirit Master, this Soul Skill might only increase the hardness and defense of their Martial Soul, but for Tang San, Soul Skill effect would be immeasurable.
He was originally a member of the Tang Sect, and was very familiar with all kinds of Hidden Weapon Hidden Weapon Hundred Solutions techniques. With the Spirit Abilities that Oscar had carefully selected for him through his own memory, his combat ability was enhanced to a terrifying degree.
If the competition hadn't prohibited the use of items other than Martial Soul and Spirit Bone, and if he had coated each of his Blue Silver Blade with deadly poison, Huo Yun and Huo Yu, who had just been hit by him, would probably have already lost their ability to fight.
At this moment, Tang San stood in front of Jiang Zhu, his eyes surging with purple light, his hands turning into white jade, Blue Silver King in front of him continuously condensed into pieces of Blue Silver Blade as hard and sharp as diamonds under the effect of the Fourth Spirit Ability.
The next moment, Tang San's hands fluttered like butterflies flitting among flowers, and Blue Silver Blade shot out towards the Huo Yun and Huo Yu as if they had eyes.
At this moment, Huo Yun and Huo Yu were well aware of Tang San's power. The wounds inflicted by the Blue Silver Blade were still bleeding, and the wounds had even begun to feel slightly numb, with this numbness gradually enveloping their entire bodies.
The source of that numbness was the poison granted to Tang San by his First Spirit Ring Soul Skill, the Mandala Snake. Although it wasn't particularly strong, the five-level difference in Soul Power made it somewhat unbearable for Huo Yun and Huo Yu.
Huo Yun and Huo Yu immediately abandoned their attack and soared into the sky in an attempt to evade Tang San's attack.
But is Tang San's Fourth Spirit Ability really that simple? The Fourth Spirit Ring that Oscar carefully selected for him must have more than just that.
Oscar's choice of the Vajra Vine, a Plant-type Soul Beast, for Tang San was naturally based on many considerations.
Even with Tang San's unparalleled skill in using ordinary hidden Hidden Weapon, the attack range of ordinary Hidden Weapon is still very limited, and most of them are unlikely to exceed thirty meters.
However, with the combination of Soul Skill, the Blue Silver Blade formed by condensing Soul Power is different. With the dual enhancement of Soul Skill and Soul Power, coupled with Tang San's special Hidden Weapon techniques, it is enough to greatly improve his original weakness of attack range.
With his current level of Soul Power, he can extend the limited attack range of the Blue Silver Blade to fifty meters.
Fifty meters is already an extremely terrifying distance, after all, the diameter of this Spirit Dueling Platform is only eighty meters, and the battle area occupied by both sides is only within fifty meters in diameter.
In other words, as long as he is injured on the Spirit Dueling Platform, Tang San can almost transform into a humanoid turret that can cover the entire arena!
The lethality of a single Blue Silver Blade may be limited, but what about ten, a hundred, or a thousand blades?
Not enough Soul Power? Don't forget, Jiang Zhu's Second Spirit Ability is called Soul Restoration Array, which has only one function: to restore the team's Soul Power!
Jiang Zhu stood with Tang San so that she could directly provide him with Soul Power assistance.
At this point, Tang San had completely evolved into someone who didn't need to worry about mana; all he needed to do was use "firepower" to cover all enemies.
Huo Yun and Huo Yu soared into the sky. Tang San's lips curled up, and with a wave of his hand, several Blue Silver Blade flew out. Under the special Hidden Weapon techniques of the Tang Sect, those Blue Silver Blade seemed to have eyes and chased after them. The Huo Yun and Huo Yu were not impossible to dodge, but to completely avoid them, they would have to use all their strength. This would not only increase their consumption but also prevent them from posing a threat to the Shrek Academy Team.
With the help of the Purple Demon Eye, Tang San was able to not only withstand the Huo Yun and Huo Yu from the sky, but also lock onto Huo Wu and the two Support System Spirit Master behind her.
"Not moving? Then let's see if you can move at all!" Tang San's smile never faded from the moment he released his Fourth Spirit Ability.
From the moment he obtained his Fourth Spirit Ring, he truly felt the true purpose of his Tang Sect's ultimate technique. He had kept it hidden for so long since the start of the competition, and now that he had unleashed it completely, he was naturally unrestrained.
In an instant, more than a dozen Blue Silver Blade flew toward Huo Wu and the two Soul Elder behind her who were both capable of control and support.
Huo Wu kept a close eye on the situation on the field, trying to find a weakness and then deliver a fatal blow to the Shrek team. However, she never expected that Tang San's hidden Fourth Spirit Ability was not a control skill, but an attack ability similar to that of Battle Spirit Master.
What surprised Huo Wu the most was that Tang San could control those tiny throwing knives with such precision. Not only could he deal with both the Huo Yun and Huo Yu at the same time, forcing them to dodge, but he could also spare some attention to deal with her.
Moreover, it wasn't just Tang San's Blue Silver Blade; the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit Xiao Wu had also closed in to within ten meters of him.
Huo Wu understood at that moment that they had held back, and the Shrek Academy Team had held back even more.
Just like Dai Mubai, with his own formidable strength, he Huo Wushuang with only two Soul Skills, forcing him to fight back. His fourth and Fifth Spirit Ability have not been revealed since the start of the competition, and he has no intention of revealing them now.
Originally, Huo Wu wanted to take advantage of Dai Mubai's desire to hide his strength, so that Huo Wushuang could hold Dai Mubai back first. She hoped that they could deal with Tang San and the others, and then join forces to deal with Dai Mubai, which would give them a much bigger advantage.
Now, it seems to me that Huo Wu's plans were all a bit naive, because even Tang San, whom she didn't care about the most, has now become the biggest threat.
The Blue Silver Blade arrived in an instant, and Xiao Wu had already entered the attack range. Huo Wu's expression became even more solemn. She knew that there were only two possible outcomes in this match: either admit defeat or go all out.
P. S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
