Tactical Arrangements
"Please bring up teams Team Twenty-Five and Team 18."
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed quietly.
Team 18, consisting of Zhou Qing, Tang San, Romantina, Xiao Wu, Qingzhu Zhu, Wang Sheng, Mo Hen, walked to the center of the square.
Team Twenty-Five was right beside them.
"I saw the two teams chatting and laughing earlier..."
"Won't they fix the match?"
"So what if they fix the match? You don't need to buy tickets to watch this Friendly Tournament, what can you do about it?"
"Don't underestimate Team 18. Apart from Mo Hen, the others are all kids, but they're quite strong. I even think that if they were a little older, they might be able to participate in the Continental Elite Tournament!"
"The Continental Elite Tournament? You're overthinking it. Just being a commoner makes it difficult to get into the Advanced Academy. Even if you do get in, unless you're truly exceptionally strong and not just using tricks, you'll only be a substitute and won't be a starter."
"That's not bad either."
"·····"
The audience was buzzing with discussion.
The two teams on the field, however, paid no attention to their opinions. Romantina, especially, from Team 18, blushed slightly as she listened to the stares and whispers around her, muttering to herself, "There are even more people watching the game than yesterday..."
Seeing this, Zhou Qing sighed and rubbed his forehead.
Given Romantina's current state, if she were to participate in the Continental Elite Tournament in the future, she would probably be so overwhelmed by the stares and chatter of the massive crowds of spectators that she would faint before the battle even begins.
I need to practice more!
"Activate your Martial Soul and Soul Ring. You have three minutes to prepare," Zhong Dingxiu shouted.
"We'll stick to the original tactics. Tang San, Romantina, and Qingzhu Zhu, you three will focus on support and disrupt the enemy. Xiao Wu and I will be the main attackers, Wang Sheng will be the Tank, ready to trade one or two of the controlled enemies. Teacher Mo can play either melee or marksman."
Zhou Qing assigned corresponding jobs and tasks.
"Um, they're all women. Would it be inappropriate for me to hug them?" Wang Sheng blushed slightly.
"Soul Master aren't that fussy, don't worry about it," Zhou Qing comforted her. "Besides, the youngest of them is eighteen years old, and you're only twelve. What's there to be shy about?"
Helpless, Wang Sheng could only silently remind himself to treat them like men...
"Once the battle begins, Tang San, Romantina, and Qingzhu Zhu, your primary targets are Bu Wu and Bu Liu. They have the ability to support their teammates, so you need to take them out first." Zhou Qing assigned the first targets to attack.
The seven members of Team Twenty-Five are named Bu Yi, Bu Er, Bu San, Bu Si, Bu Wu, Bu Liu, and Bu Qi. They are all twin sisters, born in a relatively poor village. Fortunately, all seven of them have Innate Soul Power and can embark on the path of Soul Master.
However, according to the research of the Spirit Hall, all owners of the Elemental Fox Martial Soul have Innate Soul Power, but the highest level they can achieve is no more than level three.
Captain, Bu Yi, is nearly thirty years old and a Level 30 Quasi Soul Master. Her first two Soul Ring both came from fire-attribute Soul Beast. However, because she has not yet obtained her Third Spirit Ring, her Elemental Fox Martial Soul has not transformed into Elemental Fire Fox. The Soul Skill brought by her first two Soul Ring are all physical skills, except that her claws will be accompanied by a trace of red sparks during her attacks.
If she obtains her Third Spirit Ring and her Martial Soul transforms into Elemental Fire Fox, then the way her first and Second Soul Skill function will also change, or even evolve.
However, in Zhou Qing's view, this so-called "evolution" of Soul Skill, as long as it is not the completion of the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement, is just because the Martial Soul has undergone a transformation, which allows the elemental Soul Ring Soul Skill absorbed in advance to exert their full effect.
Once Soul Skill is defined, its form cannot be changed.
If a change has indeed occurred, there are only two possibilities: first, there is interference from a power beyond human capabilities that has replaced the Soul Skill patterns; second, the Soul Master's own Martial Soul has undergone some kind of mutation, which has fortunately allowed the Soul Skill within the Soul Ring to be manifested relatively completely.
Soul Master who possess the Elemental Fox Martial Soul and reach Level 30 or above exemplify this perfectly.
In other words, none of these Soul Master have broken through to the Soul King realm or above. Most of them are at the first or second ring level. People like Bu Yi, who have reached the Level 30, are extremely rare.
Similarly, Bu Yi's sisters were in much the same situation.
The reason Zhou Qing instructed Tang San, Qingzhu Zhu, and Romantina to target Bu Wu and Bu Liu first was because these two were choosing the direction of their Martial Soul transformation: Life and light.
Bu Wu, with a level 26 Soul Power, possesses Soul Skill from his first two Soul Ring. Although these skills are physical techniques, they are Life- attribute. When he touches a teammate, he can inject a surge of Life to alleviate their injuries.
Bu Liu, with level 20 Soul Power, is a quasi- Soul Grandmaster. Her First Spirit Ring skill is also a physical technique, but when she moves her claws, she creates streaks of white light. If someone is hit by her, the flow of Soul Power within their body will be interrupted for a moment.
Therefore, to avoid uncertainty, these two are the ones that need to be dealt with first.
Meanwhile, in Team Twenty-Five, Bu Yi and the others learned about Zhou Qing Zhou Qing his group's Martial Soul during their previous conversation and began to plan their tactics.
"Bu Er, you've chosen the water element, which is the most flexible. Once the battle begins, find that Mo Hen. He's the only Soul Grandmaster in the team, so we need to eliminate him first."
"Bu Si, Bu Qi, one of you is ice and the other is darkness, but the power of ice and darkness elements is not very obvious before reaching the Soul Elder. They can only enhance your claw attacks and make them corrosive. Target Romantina and attack her. She has a rare Spirit System Martial Soul and must be the Support System in their team. We should eliminate her first."
"Bu Wu, you chose the Life attribute, which is the worst in physical combat. You are responsible for striking the injured members among us at critical moments to inject Life."
"Bu Liu, you are responsible for protecting Bu Wu."
"Bu San, you're a lightning-type. When you use your Soul Skill, a Sisi sparks of electricity will appear on your body. This can stimulate your physical body and increase your speed, making you the fastest among us. Are you confident in dealing with Tang San and Qingzhu Zhu?"
Although Bu Yi felt that Zhou Qing was the strongest person in Team 18, the most troublesome people were Qingzhu Zhu and Tang San.
The speed these two little guys showed earlier was absolutely astonishing.
"It's a little troublesome to catch up with Qingzhu Zhu in a straight line with the advantage of Soul Power, but it's doable." Bu San glanced at Qingzhu Zhu, who had already obtained her First Spirit Ring. "Although she has obtained Soul Ring and become Soul Master, her Soul Power is at most level eleven, so her speed will not increase much. Moreover, these kinds of scions from powerful families in the real world will not add speed-enhancing Soul Skill to their Martial Soul."
"And that Tang San..."
When Bu San's gaze fell on Tang San, he was somewhat at a loss for words to describe the other's speed.
Lively?
Weird?
"I really don't know how a kid with Blue Silver Grass as his Martial Soul can possess such speed..."
