Breaking the Deadlock
When Tang Ying turned his attention to Gu Yue Ling, Xiao Wu, who was confronting him, immediately made a move.
Several Moon Blade flew towards Tang Ying, posing a considerable threat to him.
However, Shi Mo seized the opportunity to block Tang Ying's path, protecting his teammate with his black Black Tortoise Shield.
Ye Lingling, who was originally protected by the Shi Mo, was exposed at this moment. Bai Chenxiang did not hesitate to scatter feathers on her body, causing bright red blood flowers to appear on this support character's body.
Ye Lingling's expression changed, but she was not flustered at all. She simply picked up the Nine Heart Begonia in her hands quietly.
Instantly, white light, like flower petals, rose up and entered Ye Lingling's body, gradually healing her injuries.
One characteristic of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul is that it can only acquire healing-type Soul Skill. This makes the Martial Soul's abilities quite limited, but it is extremely specialized in healing abilities.
Bai Chenxiang's Feather of Wind are suitable for dealing with Lightly Armored Units because while the Feather of Wind ' damage output isn't particularly outstanding, their speed is also excellent due to the influence of the Feather of Wind Element, making them quite difficult to dodge.
With the Hidden Weapon weapon techniques taught to her by Tang San, the Feather of Wind could be said to be both fast and accurate.
However, Ye Lingling had no intention of dodging; she simply relied on her healing abilities to withstand the attack, which left Bai Chenxiang somewhat at a loss.
However, she was not discouraged. Although her damage could not exceed Ye Lingling's healing output, she could still deplete some of Ye Lingling's energy, preventing her from fully supporting her teammates.
For example, Osler has already been knocked unconscious.
When Tang Ying aimed at her, Gu Yue Ling immediately adopted a defensive stance. She knew that the truly powerful arrows fired from the Purple Splendor Bow could only be formed from Soul Ring, but this gave them immense destructive power.
Therefore, Gu Yue Ling had no intention of testing the arrows on herself and instead focused on mobilizing her defensive measures.
However, the arrow shot at her shattered into countless points of light upon striking the Golden Dragon Head, and Tang Ying still possessed two Soul Ring.
Clearly, Tang Ying has once again resorted to Deceptive Arrow.
Realizing she had been tricked, Gu Yue Ling's face darkened, and a hint of malice appeared in her eyes.
At this moment, Shi Mo, who had been blocking Chen Feng's advance, suddenly felt his legs tighten and almost lost his balance and fell.
This was because his legs were entangled by green plants that had appeared out of nowhere.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Feng used his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to bypass the Shi Mo in front of him and made a move to attack Tang Ying.
Under Xiao Wu's suppression, the Shi Mo protecting Tang Ying had no chance to move its shield, leaving Tang Ying with no choice but to shoot an arrow at Chen Feng.
And this arrow was a real arrow!
Chen Feng immediately activated his Shunatsu. He clearly saw the reduction of the Soul Ring on Tang Ying's body and knew that he could not charge directly at Tang Ying because the Swift Thunder Charge could not turn.
So he made another choice.
After Tang Ying fired the arrow, he saw Chen Feng's figure transform into a bolt of lightning, but the lightning did not strike him. Instead, it rushed towards Shi Mo, who was breaking free from the Blue Silver Grass's restraints.
As expected, the arrow missed its target, striking the Protective Shield surrounding the Soul Fighting with a piercing shriek.
It was as if the Protective Shield had been punctured.
It was at this moment that Bai Chenxiang, who had been trying to threaten Ye Lingling, suddenly descended and appeared behind Gu Yue Ling.
Then she slipped her hands under Gu Yue Ling's armpits and lifted her up.
Tang Ying initially wanted to shoot at this live target in the sky, but he quickly hesitated, because he only had one arrow left.
If this final arrow is fired, the girl with the Scorpion Braid on the other side will have no more scruples and can use her range to bully the Heaven Dou Royal Team at will.
So Tang Ying hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not use the arrow on Gu Yue Ling in the sky. Instead, he used it to intimidate Xiao Wu on the other side.
At this moment, Chen Feng had already used the Shunatsu Strike. The instant the lightning flashed, Shi Mo used all his strength to hold up the Black Tortoise Shield and protect Tang Ying behind him.
However, Chen Feng had no intention of charging into the formation. Before Shi Mo, who had been bypassed, could react, he stabbed him in the shoulder with his sword.
"Ah!" Shi Mo let out a scream, and his brother Shi Mo also shuddered.
While everyone's attention was focused on the injured Shi Mo, Bai Chenxiang in the sky had already carried Gu Yue Ling and was flying rapidly towards the enemy's back row.
Ye Lingling quickly noticed this and loudly reminded her:
"Watch out from the sky!"
However, this reminder came a little too late. Moreover, the Heaven Dou Royal Team had a minor but significant weakness: insufficient Airborne power. Their air defense was entirely dependent on the archer Tang Ying.
When Chen Feng discovered the change in the archer selection for the Heaven Dou Royal Team, he realized the problem and thus devised an airdrop tactic with Tang San.
However, this tactic is still threatened by Tang Ying's Purple Splendor Bow, so everything the Hydra Team is doing now revolves around distracting Tang Ying.
Tang Ying's only truly powerful arrows are the three that strike, because his current Soul Power is Level 39.
Whether it's deception or simply diverting his attention, as long as he has no chance to threaten the ascending Gu Yue Ling, then the tactic of airdropping the little lion will succeed.
If Gu Yue Ling were to be placed in the back row of the Heaven Dou Royal Team, it would be tantamount to a lion among sheep.
In short, it was indiscriminate slaughter.
At this point, Tang Ying only had one arrow left, and he had to choose between intercepting Gu Yue Ling and intimidating Xiao Wu.
The back row of the Heaven Dou Royal Team is not vulnerable. Originally, there were two Shield Guard and one assassin as defensive forces. With Ye Lingling's presence, such defense can already be considered solid.
But now the assassin has been stunned, and one of the Shield Guard has to go to intercept him because of the great threat posed by Chen Feng, leaving only one Shield Guard capable of fighting.
Logically, with healing available, Shield Guard should have an advantage against Warrior.
However, Gu Yue Ling possessed a strange and unsettling Hidden Strength technique, making the Shield Guard seem like punching bags in front of her.
If she were to break in, the consequences would be unpredictable.
However, Xiao Wu's threat should not be underestimated. Once Tang Ying fires the final arrow, the Heaven Dou Royal Team will basically have no way to deal with Xiao Wu, the archer.
Then Xiao Wu can run wild on the field like Husky that has been let loose.
Not to mention that Hydra Team also fielded two marksmen.
While having more shooters isn't necessarily better, with a well-planned tactical setup, once an advantage is established, it can easily secure victory.
From this perspective, Tang Ying's current situation can be described as being caught in a dilemma.
There was no time left for him to think things through; he could only make what he considered the most reasonable choice.
That means continuing to intimidate Xiao Wu.
Tang Ying believed that even if Gu Yue Ling were sent over, Shi Mo could keep her occupied for a while, and with Dugu Yan assisting her, Gu Yue Ling might not be able to play any significant role.
However, allowing the opposing two marksmen to break free and unleash their attacks at will would have serious consequences; if this happens, the Heaven Dou Royal Team might as well give up.
While Tang Ying was Xiao Wu the Purple Splendor Bow at Xiao Wu again, Dugu Yan was not idle either. Her Fourth Soul Ring began to shine, and the Poison Water on the ground gradually turned into a dark blue color.
When the dark blue Poison Water appeared, the ground of the Soul Fighting Arena immediately emitted a sizzling sound and white smoke from the point of contact with the Poison Water.
This is Dugu Yan's Fourth Soul Skill, Azure Poison, or it can also be called by another name, Corrosive Poison.
If Gu Yue Ling were to parachute into the back row of the Heaven Dou Royal Team, she would be threatened by the Corrosive Poison, Dugu Yan believed that this would inevitably involve the blonde girl.
"Take me there." Looking at the patch of blue water on the ground, Gu Yue Ling said to Bai Chenxiang expressionlessly.
Although Bai Chenxiang felt that doing so was very dangerous, she could not disobey the pre-arranged tactics, so she launched Gu Yue Ling out in a high-speed dash.
Gu Yue Ling flipped through the Airborne and landed, and before she even touched the ground, her Third Soul Ring suddenly lit up.
The next moment, a deafening roar of a lion rang out on the Soul Fighting stage and reached the ears of the surrounding audience.
In the spectator area, Qin Ming's expression changed slightly. "Damn it, they were hiding something like this."
After the Shi Brothers were defeated, he paid close attention to Gu Yue Ling and had some understanding of her first two Soul Skill.
Later, when Gu Yue Ling advanced to the Soul Ancestor and came to the Great Soul Arena, Qin Ming learned about the effects of her Fourth Soul Skill.
However, Qin Ming was never clear about Gu Yue Ling's Third Spirit Skill, because Gu Yue Ling had never used it in the Spirit Fighting Arena.
And now, this unknown Third Spirit Skill has set the tone for the entire Team Battle.
Dugu Yan had expected Gu Yue Ling to have a tug-of-war with Shi Mo after she came down, and was preparing to use the Corrosive Poison to force Gu Yue Ling back. The Poison Water was not as uncontrollable as the Poison Mist, Dugu Yan was confident that she would not harm her teammates.
But just as she was about to do so, a lion's roar rang in her ears, and she was immediately stunned.
Tang Ying, Shi Mo, and Ye Lingling were the same; when faced with the Lion's Roar, their minds went blank for a moment.
This short period of time was enough for Gu Yue Ling.
Ignoring the fact that her shoes were being corroded, she unhesitatingly delivered two powerful punches to Ye Lingling and Tang Ying, knocking them both unconscious.
Gu Yue Ling frowned slightly as she watched the two people about to fall into the Poison Water, and then kicked them off the Soul Fighting Platform.
It's worth mentioning that Tang Ying much farther than Ye Lingling, even though he was heavier.
Clearly, this was Gu Yue Ling's revenge for being tricked earlier.
After Tang Ying and Ye Lingling were dealt with, Shi Mo and Dugu Yan also woke up from their stunned state.
They immediately had to deal with Gu Yue Ling, but Xiao Wu and Bai Chenxiang had already been freed.
As it turns out, marksmen who are uninhibited are indeed a significant threat, especially Xiao Wu, whose damage output should not be underestimated.
With Chen Feng encouraging him from the sidelines, Yu Tianheng quickly fell into a disadvantageous position under the siege, and soon met his defeat.
With Yu Tianheng eliminated, the Team Battle of this Soul Fighting Battle was no longer in doubt. As the remaining members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team were defeated one by one, the Hydra Team ultimately won the Team Battle.
When the host announced the results of the Soul Fighting, the surrounding audience cheered and applauded the exciting Soul Fighting.
In the spectator area, Qin Ming looked at the jubilant Hydra Team members and nodded with a smile.
"What an outstanding group of junior students! It seems that Principal Flender's dream is not far from being realized."
On the other side, Tang Ying sighed helplessly. He felt that he had been targeted severely during the match.
First, he was Flash by a sudden flash and lost an arrow. Then, he was lured out by Chen Feng's feint and lost another arrow. Finally, he made the wrong decision and failed to fire the last arrow before he was defeated.
From beginning to end, Tang Ying felt like she had fallen into a trap.
Ultimately, this is due to the limitations of the Purple Splendor Bow itself. Tang Ying, who is currently Soul Ancestor, can only shoot three Soul Ring Arrows, which is extremely disadvantageous in Soul Fighting, with a very low margin for error.
If the enemy ambushes you, it's easy for the situation to collapse immediately.
Tang Ying believed the best way to solve this problem was to improve his cultivation level, increase the number of his Soul Ring, and thus be able to fire more powerful arrows.
At the same time, he needs to be more careful in deciding whether to fire the Soul Ring Arrow, and he can no longer be easily tricked by his opponents into firing arrows. This Team Battle is a very good lesson.
Putting aside the sadness and reflection of the Heaven Dou Royal Team, everyone on Chen Feng's side was overjoyed.
As the flagship team of the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, the Heaven Dou Royal Team has a resounding reputation and considerable strength, having defeated Level 40 teams multiple times.
However, the fact that the Heaven Dou Royal Team has been defeated by their Hydra Team is enough to demonstrate their strength and show that Chen Feng and others' special training over the past period has not been in vain, and their combat ability has indeed improved significantly.
It was entirely predictable that Hydra Team would become the new star team, and this was only a matter of reputation.
The more tangible gain was the points earned in this Team Battle, enough for Hydra Team to make that final push and advance to the incredibly difficult-to-achieve Golden Spirit Fighting Team.
This also signifies the end of Chen Feng and the others' special training, and they will now enter a phase of free cultivation.
Those who have already advanced to the Soul Ancestor strive for even greater heights, while those who have not yet reached the Soul Ancestor Soul Ancestor Realm work hard towards it.
Chen Feng, in particular, had already planned his Fourth Soul Ring and was just waiting to reach Level 40 before taking action.
At that time, as long as we can obtain the Soul Skill to maintain our mind, there will be hope that the true nature of the Yin Sword will be revealed.
