Shui Bing'er's Desperate Counterattack
With a delicate shout from Bai Chenxiang, countless feathers flew off her body.
These feathers, Entanglement with the Wind Power, swept towards the students from the Skywater Academy just as they regained consciousness.
As for accuracy, it's naturally not much.
But it doesn't matter, this is already a saturation attack.
Bai Chenxiang's Feather of Wind require time to condense, and the condensation speed increases as her Soul Power grows stronger.
In the beginning, the speed at which the Feather of Wind were formed was enough to support Bai Chenxiang in battle, but after she began to learn Hidden Weapon weapon techniques from Tang San, the supply of Feather of Wind became somewhat strained.
There's no good solution to this problem; Bai Chenxiang can only work hard to cultivate and increase her Soul Power.
Fortunately, the existence of the Qing Feng Bi Ying Hua solved this problem.
After Consuming the Immortal Herb, the Qing Feng Bi Ying Hua, Bai Chenxiang's Affinity for Wind Attribute power increased significantly, and her Soul Power also grew considerably, giving her ample resources to expend.
Just like now, after the match started, Bai Chenxiang kept scattering feathers, but at that time she was only using the Conventional Technique.
This is mainly to avoid arousing the enemy's suspicion.
A Soul Elder with three rings generally won't attract much attention in the Spirit Master Tournament Competition as long as they don't act too outrageously.
The Killing Move was hidden within Bai Chenxiang's seemingly insignificant attack.
In fact, the most suitable Hidden Weapon weapon technique for Bai Chenxiang's fighting style is the "One Thousand and One Nights," ranked fourth among the Hundred Solutions of Tang Sect Hidden Weapons.
It is a technique that combines various Hidden Weapon methods, requires mastery and sufficient Soul Power to execute, and is the most difficult of all Hidden Weapon weapon techniques in terms of skill alone.
Clearly, this is no longer suitable for Bai Chenxiang.
Forget One Thousand and One Nights nights, she couldn't even reach a hundred nights.
But it doesn't matter. The techniques that Bai Chenxiang has learned are already enough to support Chen Feng's tactics.
The Skywater Academy students, who had just regained consciousness, were met with a barrage of attacks. Shui Bing'er was the first to react, and she used her First Soul Skill, Ice Seal.
But it wasn't Feng Chen Feng and his group; it was Feng himself and his teammates.
Her First Spirit Ring lit up, and she and the rest of the team were frozen in a block of ice. Although they couldn't move for a while, they were able to withstand the attack of the Feather of Wind.
However, staying still would make them easy targets, so Shui Bing'er had no other choice. Shui Yue'er, the Shield Guard in the team, had already been cleared from the field, and the others didn't have any self-defense skills.
Even if Shui Bing'er hadn't had three of her Soul Skill Soul Skill sealed, she wouldn't have had any good way to deal with this situation.
At best, the teammates can only hold on, but that would only worsen the situation further.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er had a deep realization that her side was being tactically outmatched. She had a powerful trump card, but no opportunity to use it.
But Shui Bing'er didn't give up. She still had one card in her hand, and if she used it well, turning defeat into victory was not a dream.
After withstanding Bai Chenxiang's barrage of arrows, she quickly lifted the Ice Seal off herself and her teammates.
The women of the Skywater Academy, who had been suppressed and unable to use their strength, were finally liberated. They were now furious and determined to teach their opponents a lesson.
However, the Bai Chenxiang in the sky chuckled at this moment:
"It's not over yet."
Amidst the astonished gazes of the audience and the female students from the Skywater Academy, the scattered White Feathers on the ground suddenly moved.
Shui Bing'er realized something was wrong and shouted a warning:
Watch out behind you!
But it was too late. The dense feathers returned to Bai Chenxiang's body like swallows returning to their nests, and anyone who stood in her way would be mercilessly attacked by the Feather of Wind.
In an instant, the girls from the Skywater Academy were covered in blood. Only Shui Bing'er managed to block the attack by closing her Ice Wings.
"Despicable, despicable." A girl from Skywater felt extremely unwilling, but she still couldn't hold on and collapsed.
Looking at the scene on the stage, Bai He was first extremely surprised, and then overjoyed.
"See that? My granddaughter has completely overcome her weakness of having no offensive capabilities. This combination of Soul Skill is simply a genius-level combination for our Speed Clan."
"Indeed, this attack method suits you perfectly." Yang Wudi nodded in approval.
"Its only weakness is its attack power," Tai Tan commented.
Niu Gao chuckled, "Different Martial Soul have their own advantages. For the Old White Bird, this fighting style that allows it to utilize its strengths is already quite good. It must have been designed by that person."
"There won't be anyone else." Bai He nodded firmly.
On the field, Shui Bing'er had her seriously injured teammates help each other off the stage, but she herself showed no sign of giving up, even though she was the only one left from the Skywater Academy.
Chen Feng and his team also suffered casualties. Although Meng Yiran had previously acted as a suicide bomber, did not fall into a frenzy, she was besieged by the Skywater Academy.
Realizing she could not resist, she decisively jumped off the Tournament Stage.
The others are in pretty good shape, so Chen Feng and his team currently have a significant advantage.
Shouldn't we use Ten Thousand Year Spirit Skill? Chen Feng didn't relax at all despite the favorable situation; on the contrary, he became even more vigilant.
Just as he expected, after the other members of the Skywater Academy left the Tournament Stage, Shui Bing'er's fifth Soul Ring lit up.
Then, there was a deafening roar.
Chen Feng remained on guard, pondering what Shui Bing'er's fifth Soul Skill might be.
But when the explosion rang out, he knew the answer in his heart.
Ice Explosion Technique! It's actually Ice Explosion Technique!
The question is, where did Shui Bing'er get the Ice Explosion Technique?
As Soul Skill that only appeared during the Peerless Tang Sect: The Legend of the Condor Heroes era, Ice Explosion Technique is an extremely rare Soul Skill even among the Ice Scorpion Tribe.
Could it be that the Shui Family helped Shui Bing'er catch an Ice Scorpion? And one that can use Ice Scorpion Ice Explosion Technique?
Chen Feng was completely baffled, but the current match was clearly more important.
Originally, Chen Feng and his team had gained an absolute advantage, but after a loud bang, the situation was completely reversed.
The icy and snowy environment created by the students of the Skywater Academy has now become Shui Bing'er's resource, resulting in a powerful explosion.
Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang, who were in the Airborne, were knocked down from the Airborne because they had no defense capabilities. They fell to the ground unconscious, and Zhu Zhuqing was also seriously injured.
Although Tang San could use Blue Silver Grass to weave Protective Shield to withstand the explosion, Shui Bing'er's activation had no pre-animation, so he didn't have time to summon enough Blue Silver Grass. Since he was standing on the side, he was directly blasted out of the arena.
Dai Mubai did possess a protective Soul Skill, but this protection was insufficient to completely withstand the power of the Ice Explosion Technique, thus further aggravating his injuries and almost rendering him unable to fight.
Only Chen Feng was spared the threat of explosion due to the effect of the Dustless Land. After consuming some of his Soul Power, he appeared to be completely unharmed.
"You, how is this possible?" Shui Bing'er looked incredulous.
She knew the power of her Ten Thousand Year Spirit Skill. Even if she didn't use it at full power because she didn't want to cripple her opponent, Chen Feng shouldn't have been unharmed by the impact of the Ice Explosion Technique.
"Nothing is impossible. You have your trump cards, and I naturally have mine." Chen Feng wore a relaxed smile, but he was still holding his breath.
He had already withstood an Ice Explosion Technique. If Shui Bing'er's combat power was still sufficient, then he would probably have to reveal more of his trump cards.
Fortunately, after a fierce battle and the use of the powerful Ice Explosion Technique Soul Skill, Shui Bing'er was now at her last gasp.
So she stopped making futile struggles and decisively chose to admit defeat.
Chen Feng finally relaxed. Seeing that the Healing-Type Soul Master had gone up on stage and started healing their teammates, he wanted to satisfy his curiosity.
He asked Shui Bing'er, who was about to leave:
"Did you obtain this Ten Thousand Year Spirit Skill in the Extreme North?"
Shui Bing'er was somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting Chen Feng to be able to tell her the origin of her Soul Ring so quickly. "Yes, it comes from the Extreme North."
"Could you tell me how you got it? Did you catch an Ice Scorpion?" Chen Feng continued to ask.
Shui Bing'er was even more surprised, "You actually know it comes from the Ice Scorpion? It seems you have a deep understanding of Soul Beast. But I'm sorry, I won't tell you how I obtained this Soul Ring."
After saying that, she left the Tournament Stage.
Chen Feng didn't stop Shui Bing'er. Although he still had doubts, there was no need to press her for an answer since Shui Bing'er didn't want to talk about it.
Ma Hongjun and the others were not seriously injured, and with the help of Healing-Type Soul Master, they gradually woke up.
Tang San only suffered minor injuries. If he hadn't been blasted off the stage due to poor positioning, he would definitely still be able to put up a fight.
"Brothers, Shui Bing'er is too difficult to deal with! We had such a good situation, and she almost turned it around." Ma Hongjun complained as soon as he woke up.
He was completely outclassed by Shui Bing'er in this match. Despite both having the Phoenix Spirit, the difference between them was obvious to the naked eye, which made him quite unhappy.
But no matter how unhappy they were, the gap in strength was there. If Chen Feng and Tang San hadn't prepared such good tactics beforehand, they would probably have lost this match with their incomplete lineup.
Chen Feng glanced at the contestants from various Academy not far away, and sighed, echoing Ma Hongjun's words:
"Yes, we've already used all our trump cards, yet we still won so narrowly. It seems we'll have a hard time making it to the end in this Spirit Master Tournament."
Ma Hongjun blinked. Wasn't the reason their match was so thrilling because their lineup wasn't complete?
What does "revealing all your cards" mean?
However, since Bro Feng said that, he must have his reasons, so Ma Hongjun also sighed.
"I was hoping we could get those Three pieces of Soul Bone as a reward, but it seems like that's unlikely. Maybe Skywater Academy will have a chance."
Everyone present was Soul Master. Although Chen Feng and his group's voices weren't loud, the other Academy contestants and teachers were still able to hear them very clearly.
Some people believed these words, some were skeptical, and some thought that even if Nine-Headed Serpent Team had any trump cards left, they probably didn't have many.
After all, one of the three Ten Thousand Year Spirit Skill had already been forced out, and judging from the effect of this match, it should be the Soul Skill for maintaining consciousness.
Although the effect was good, it wasn't as powerful as Shui Bing'er's Ice Explosion Technique, which was enough to turn the tide of battle.
By the same token, the other two Ten Thousand Year Spirit Skill of the Nine-Headed Serpent Team may not be particularly Soul Skill either.
Some optimists even believe that the Nine-Headed Serpent Team obtained three Ten-Thousand-Year Fourth Ring soul rings mostly through trickery, and that these three ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Fourth Ring soul rings are just for show, far inferior to Shui Bing'er's genuine Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Discussions erupted across the various Academy. While the apprehension surrounding the Nine-Headed Serpent Team's three Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring hadn't completely vanished, it had lessened considerably.
The rest of the Nine-Headed Serpent Team could only force themselves to keep a straight face in the face of these discussions, for fear of bursting out laughing.
They did reveal their hand in today's match, but not much; they only revealed a small portion.
If other Academy think they have nothing left, they're sure to be in for a big surprise when they run into them later.
With the conclusion of the match between the Nine-Headed Serpent Academy and Skywater Academy, the Preliminaries in Heaven Dou City have also come to an end.
According to the schedule, the awards ceremony will be held soon to award the top five teams in the Preliminaries with certificates of qualification for the Qualification for the Next Stage, namely the Ranking Tournament.
The ceremony was not complicated. As announced by the host, the captains and Second Team of the top five teams walked onto the Speaker's Platform.
Nine-Headed Serpent Academy is in second place with a record of 26 wins and 1 loss. The loss was due to a forfeit caused by the Canghui Academy Incident, and the opponent in that match was Godwind Academy.
Godwind Academy also had a record of 26 wins and 1 loss. They lost to the Blazing Fire Academy, and everyone obviously understands why they lost.
Although Godwind Academy and Nine-Headed Serpent Academy had the same record, Godwind Academy ranked first based on head-to-head results because Nine-Headed Serpent Academy forfeited their match against the Godwind Academy.
Skywater Academy ranked third, having lost to the Godwind Academy and Nine-Headed Serpent Academy respectively, with a record of 25 wins and 2 losses.
The reason they lost to the Godwind Academy was that all of the Godwind Academy's contestants could fly, so the Ice Explosion Technique spell couldn't be used to its fullest potential and would instead expose their trump card. That's why Shui Bing'er didn't choose to use it in that match.
Furthermore, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill could be interrupted by the Godwind Academy's extreme speed, so looking back at that match, Skywater Academy probably didn't go all out.
Ranked fourth and fifth are Blazing Fire Academy and Thunder School, both of which were defeated by the Nine-Headed Serpent Academy.
The former was personally executed by Chen Feng, while the latter was defeated by the rest of the team while Chen Feng was unconscious.
