A Meltdown
In the previous matches, Chen Feng had always placed Tang San as his primary obstacle.
The Grandmaster had no objection to this, and the effect was excellent, effectively undermining the confidence of other Academy.
This arrangement remained unchanged when facing the Blazing Fire Academy.
The students of the Blazing Fire Academy were furious. "You're a plant-type Soul Master! It's one thing to bully other weaker Academy, but to be the first to appear against the Blazing Fire Academy? Do you think you can take on all seven of them at once?"
That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous.
On the field, Huo Wushuang was leading the charge, glared at Tang San and asked:
"You're the first one to go on stage, are you saying you don't respect us?"
Tang San was somewhat puzzled, "What's the connection between me being the first to appear and not taking you seriously?"
"You were the first to appear when you fought those ordinary Academy, and you were also the first to appear when you fought our Blazing Fire Academy. Don't you think we're no different from those Academy?" Huo Wushuang sneered.
He knew his chances of winning were slim, but he couldn't accept that his opponents were treating them like pushovers.
"You misunderstood. I went first simply because it makes it easier to win," Tang San explained.
"Hmph! Arrogant!" Huo Wushuang didn't want to waste any more words and decided to settle things with his hands.
He first transformed into a little dragon by activating his Martial Soul Possession, then flapped his wings and shot straight toward Tang San like a cannonball, his whole body engulfed in flames.
Tang San stomped his foot, and layers of plant walls quickly rose from the ground. However, these were hastily constructed walls, and they obviously couldn't withstand Huo Wushuang's powerful impact, being breached layer by layer.
Scorched by the flames, the Blue Silver plants were charred black, but they did not catch fire; instead, they emitted thick smoke.
Tang San's expression remained unchanged. His three Soul Ring— yellow, yellow, and purple—shone brightly, and a Blue Silver hue suddenly spread again from the plants that had been Huo Wushuang and charred by Huo Wushuang.
Wildfire cannot burn it all; the spring breeze brings it back to life.
The once unstoppable Huo Wushuang was suddenly surrounded by plants. His flames were unable to ignite the thick Blue Silver Grass. Even though he used his Soul Skill to enhance his attributes and break free from the restraints time and time again, he was ultimately submerged in the sea of plants.
Offstage, Chen Feng watched Huo Wushuang being bound by Tang San in Asia and suddenly had a hallucination as if he were watching an adult anime.
If we consider Blue Silver Grass as tentacles, Huo Wushuang as... Hmm, I can't think about that, I can't think about that, Chen Feng forcibly stopped the strange thoughts from running through his mind.
Blazing Fire Academy was clearly on high alert for Tang San. After Huo Wushuang was defeated, they immediately sent in the next contestant, giving Tang San no chance to rest and recover.
Tang San didn't care about this. He never intended to defeat all seven at once. As long as he could deplete the Blazing Fire Academy's manpower as much as possible, his mission would be accomplished.
After Huo Wushuang came Huo Yun and Huo Yu, who successively caused Tang San some exhaustion. Finally, Huo Chexiang came up and used his Fire Sword Spirit to break through the Blue Silver Grass's blockade.
At this point, Tang San still had the strength to fight. He hadn't used his Ten Thousand Year Spirit Skill from beginning to end, and with the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques, dealing with Huo Chexiang wouldn't be a big problem.
However, he felt it was unnecessary to do so, so he stepped down voluntarily after deciding that it was time.
Next up was Chen Feng, Huo Chexiang became excited upon seeing him.
"We both Sword Spirit, so why don't we have a contest to see whose swordsmanship is more exquisite?"
Chen Feng raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"
"Of course, don't you dare?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that," Chen Feng said loudly, looking at Huo Wu in the Huo Wu, "I remember she's always wanted revenge on me. Won't your presence dampen her enthusiasm for revenge?"
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Huo Wu immediately stood up. "Che Xiang, you go down. I'll fight him. You're no match for him."
Huo Chexiang's eyes widened as he glared at Chen Feng, "You, you're despicable!"
"How am I despicable? She's the one who told you to get down, not me," Chen Feng said innocently.
I, Huo Chexiang, was furious and turned to try to advise Huo Wu:
"Xiao Wu, you're our backup player. If you go up first, everyone else will have to admit defeat."
"Then just admit defeat, we can't win anyway." Huo Wu's words were straightforward.
Huo Chexiang thought to himself, "What you said makes sense, but is it really okay to say it so bluntly?"
Just as he was about to try to persuade him again, Chen Feng's voice rang out:
"How about we don't switch? Let your teammates weaken me first, then you'll have a better chance of defeating me, Huo Wu, right?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Chexiang's vision went black. He knew very well that Huo Wu was proud, and the more Chen Feng said this, the less likely Huo Wu would take advantage of him.
If Blazing Fire Academy had a chance to win, then Huo Wu might still endure for the sake of her team's victory.
However, Tang San had already replaced three people from their Blazing Fire Academy, and it seemed that their chances of winning were slim. Huo Wu would definitely only care about her own enjoyment.
As expected, Huo Wu directly addressed the Referee:
"Now it's my turn. Everyone from our Academy who came before me concedes defeat."
The Referee, of course, couldn't just accept whatever she said, so she consulted the team leader from the Blazing Fire Academy. Although the team leader was somewhat helpless about Huo Wu's self-determination, since it was unlikely that they would win, he simply went along with Huo Wu's wishes and agreed to the plan.
Thus, Chen Feng's opponent became Huo Wu.
Offstage, Oscar stared wide-eyed, exclaiming in amazement:
"Holy crap, it has to be Bro Feng! He can get the opponent to admit defeat with just a few words."
Tang San laughed, "He's completely got Huo Wu under his thumb."
"Terrible, really terrifying. People who play tactics are all dirty-minded," Ma Hongjun sighed, shaking his head.
Upon hearing this, Tang San and the Grandmaster all turned to look at him. Ma Hongjun felt a chill run down his spine and quickly added:
"Except for people from our Academy, we call this wisdom."
Tang San and Grandmaster then turned their attention to the Tournament Stage. Grandmaster said:
"Actually, it was because the Blazing Fire team felt they couldn't win that they let Huo Wu go all out. After all, they weren't wiped out in a 1v7 sweep. But we only figured out the reason so easily afterward. Xiao Feng was able to guess Huo Wu's mindset in such a short time and then push things along accordingly. That's really impressive."
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
On the field, the battle between Chen Feng and Huo Wu has begun.
Huo Wu went all out from the start, with purple flames rising around her.
Chen Feng frowned when he saw the color of the flames. He hadn't expected that Huo Wu would resort to the same old methods in order to defeat him.
In the Manga, Huo Wu vowed Vengeance after being defeated by Tang San for the first time. However, Tang San gained immunity to both ice and fire after consuming the Ice and Immortal Herb, making flames completely useless against him.
Therefore, Huo Wu found the Purple Tongue Toad Poison and absorbed it, mixing the poison into her flames in an attempt to defeat Tang San.
Her flames thus turned into purple Poison Flame, which is what Chen Feng is now facing.
"I know you have a protective aura that can withstand attacks, but I'm here to tell you today that it's useless against me!" Huo Wu her hand, and purple flames swept towards Chen Feng.
She was full of confidence because the Poison Flame flames were like a dull knife cutting flesh, and Chen Feng's aura wouldn't be of much use.
"You only remember dealing with the light ring, have you forgotten my extreme speed?" Chen Feng's Third Soul Ring lit up, and he transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting towards Huo Wu.
"Of course I won't forget!" The flames around Huo Wu suddenly contracted, then burst outwards.
The lightning Chen Feng suddenly spun around and stopped outside the range of the exploding flames.
Seeing this, Huo Wu was a little smug. "How about it? This is the Self-Created Soul Skill I prepared especially for you, the Flame Explosion Technique. The Inspiration for it comes from your match against the Skywater Academy."
The students from the Skywater Academy, suddenly brought up, exchanged bewildered glances. Shui Yue'er couldn't help but ask:
"Sis, which is more powerful, this Flame Explosion Technique or your Ice Explosion Technique?"
"Of course, Ice Explosion Technique is more powerful," Shui Bing'er answered without hesitation.
"Why?"
"Her Flame Explosion Technique, to put it simply, utilizes the explosive nature of flames. It may look similar to Ice Explosion Technique, but in terms of efficiency in utilizing Soul Power, Ice Explosion Technique is far superior." Shui Bing'er immediately saw the key point.
Shui Yue'er recalled the scene when her sister used the Ice Explosion Technique and nodded, saying:
"That's right, but it's quite impressive that Huo Wu was able to create such a Soul Skill."
"After all, he is a genius of this generation from the Blazing Fire Academy, so it's not surprising that he has performed like this. Now we'll see how Chen Feng breaks this deadlock," Shui Bing'er said.
On the field, Chen Feng sighed slightly. He didn't know what was wrong with him; it seemed like these people always managed to come up with something new for him.
The fighting style that Huo Wu came up with seems to be a good counter to him.
Poison Flame can corrode his Dustless Land, and his Swift Thunder dash can be blocked by Flame Explosion Technique, creating a three-dimensional defense.
But the problem is
"How long can your Soul Power last?" Chen Feng quickly retreated until he reached the edge of the arena.
Huo Wu's expression changed slightly, and she could only move forward.
Chen Feng paid no attention to this; his hands turned as white as jade, and he began a sword dance.
At the same time, the Taiji Heart Method, which originated from the Mysterious Heaven Skill, also began to operate. The airflow around him seemed to be guided in some way, gradually forming a rotating sphere around him.
Huo Wu's Poison Flame hurtled towards Chen Feng, but were only shattered by Chen Feng Chen Feng's sword, unable to harm him.
Even if some toxins seep into Chen Feng's body after the fireball is shattered, it will only help Chen Feng activate the residual medicinal power of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. Chen Feng even wanted to ask for more.
Seeing this, Tang San smiled, "Well done! Xiao Feng's victory is assured."
As the attacker, Huo Wu is under pressure because if she doesn't continuously release Poison Flame, Chen Feng can use the combination of Swift Thunder Dustless Land to tank the Flame Explosion Technique and launch a surprise attack on Huo Wu.
Therefore, she cannot stop.
However, if Chen Feng, who needs to constantly release Poison Flame to control the field, were to Huo Wu Chen Feng, who uses sword dance to defend and waits for the enemy to tire themselves out, it would be impossible for her to do so.
Huo Wu also realized something was wrong. She hadn't expected that Chen Feng, besides that damned aura, actually had a defensive skill.
Are you Sword Soul master or a turtle Soul Master? If you're so good at defense, why don't you become Shield Guard?
"Chen Feng! If you're a man, come and fight me! What kind of skill is it to be a coward!" Huo Wu was forced into a corner and could only resort to verbal provocation.
But this was a trick that Chen Feng had played to Huo Wu. Huo Wu's two moves were completely harmless to him, who had been through countless battles online in his previous life. They even made him want to laugh.
"That's not right. Why should every man have to fight? Do you think men can't take on the responsibility of defense? What do you take those male Shield Guard for? Aren't you discriminating against men?"
Huo Wu was bewildered by this barrage of questions. She was just a Soul Master girl living in the Douluo Continent; how could she withstand Chen Feng's bombardment that surpassed the previous version?
The Douluo Continent hadn't been updated to that version yet, and Huo Wu didn't even know how to retort, which made her furious. She further increased the output of her Poison Flame, hoping to break through Chen Feng's defense in this way.
But it was all in vain. Chen Feng's sword dance had a record of defending against Tang San's Hidden Weapon. Even though Tang San was just practicing his moves and not going all out, his attack Frequency was still higher than Huo Wu's.
At this moment, Huo Wu was like a dog trying to bite a hedgehog, unable to find a way to attack Chen Feng. She had to maintain her suppression of Chen Feng, otherwise she would be taken away by a sudden attack.
She couldn't use her ultimate Killing Move Huo Wu's Blazing Sun," because it would be blocked by Chen Feng's aura.
After much deliberation, Huo Wu finally decided to take a gamble, because she was going to go crazy if she continued to feel so stifled.
So while maintaining the release of Poison Flame, she began to Ring Fusion, planning to use Meteor Fire Rain to deal Ring Fusion and see if she could take down Chen Feng.
But at that moment, Chen Feng's second, third, and fourth Soul Ring flew onto Huo Wu's body, and then he pointed his sword at Huo Wu.
Thus, Huo Wu's original second, third, and fourth Soul Ring dimmed.
Indeed, the prerequisite for Chen Feng to seal skills is that his own Soul Ring slot must be empty. Judging from this, it seems that he can only use Light Seal Sword in Team Battle.
But in reality, he could also give his own Soul Ring to his opponent and then seal the opponent's Soul Ring.
Generally speaking, doing this would do more harm than good, because the opponent might use his Soul Ring to counterattack.
However, this move is particularly effective when facing Huo Wu, because the prerequisite for Ring Fusion is a deep understanding of one's own Soul Ring. If I give you my own Soul Ring and then seal your original Soul Ring, can you still Ring Fusion?
Judging from Huo Wu's instantaneous red temperature display, it's clearly impossible.
Moreover, Huo Wu not only became more powerful, but also suffered repeated torment from Chen Feng.
Huo Wu's mindset has finally changed.
It exploded.
