"What strategy do we need, we'll just blast them all down."
Saying this, Chen Lang looked at the others and said, "Besides, don't I have teammates? This time we don't want any defensive lineup; we're going straight for a pure output team."
Pang Lai nodded, and to be fair, that made a lot of sense. There were five people on the opposing side, and on their side, it wasn't just Chen Lang alone.
If the opponents wanted to gamble on Chen Lang taking the stage, they definitely wouldn't choose a defensive lineup either.
Then they would just go head-to-head face-to-face!
"Alright, then you're going up for this match."
Pang Lai looked around and named Jiang Shaojun, Zu Xiangtian, Hua Xuan, and Dongfang Qing.
"Isn't this lineup a bit risky..." Looking at the people Pang Lai named, Jiang Shaojun felt a slight pang of worry for a moment.
Hua Xuan primarily cultivated the Shadow System and secondary-cultivated the Wind Element, making him an assassin-type mage.
Zu Xiangtian primarily cultivated the Curse System and secondary-cultivated the Wind Element, also serving as an offensive mage.
As for himself, he primarily cultivated the Mind System and secondary-cultivated the Earth Element, providing output plus crowd control.
Dongfang Qing was even more of a violent, offensive mage of fire and lightning.
With Chen Lang added to the mix, were they really going to forgo any protection at all?!
Pang Lai was also beating a drum in his heart, but somehow he felt that what Chen Lang had just said made a lot of sense. Moreover, since he had already named everyone, it wouldn't look good to keep swapping them around, so he simply made the final decision with a slap of his hand: "That's settled!"
Before long, it was time for their match.
This time, the arena was a dune plain battlefield without any cover or bunkers, which happened to be the exact venue for a head-on clash!
After both sides took their positions, the match was announced to have begun.
Seeing Chen Lang take the stage once more, quite a few Chinese spectators grew excited!
The audience didn't have much tactical awareness; in their perception, Chen Lang was simply ridiculously strong.
With a single hand full of destructive lightning, any opponent in front of him would be utterly suppressed!
"They haven't adopted a defensive lineup... Qianxun, are you sure you can stall that Chen Lang?" The captain of the Sakura Team, Noda Moriki, looked toward the woman beside him and asked.
"I'll do my best." Mochizuki Chiyoko nodded.
She primarily cultivated the Plant System and likewise possessed a variant defense against lightning magic, which still carried very strong effects.
Well... whether she could defend against Chen Lang's terrifying lightning magic, she herself wasn't entirely sure. However, this match was of great importance, leaving no room for her to hold any contempt.
"We'll resolve the others as quickly as possible and then come surround and help you!"
"Alright!"
"What's the plan?" Seeing that the opposing side had already begun moving, Zu Xiangtian asked.
"Just go straight in!"
Since they were already using an offensive lineup, what other plan could there be? Naturally, it was one person for each!
Following Jiang Shaojun's words, the members of the Great Xia team also began charging toward the center of the arena.
Among the Sakura Team, a short, dark fellow standing one meter five tall watched the approaching group, smiled bizarrely, and began tracing constellations.
"Contract Summoning!"
"Hmph roar~~~!!!!"
A huge contract rift appeared in front of him, and immediately afterward, everyone saw a contract beast over a hundred meters long that looked like a pig.
Although its head resembled that of a wild boar, apart from the two sharp tusks exposed on the outside, it also possessed two huge bear paws.
Its body was even packed with extremely tough sinews!
"Jackal Blood Pig Bear!"
Seeing this, Jiang Shaojun asked, "Who's going to draw the aggro of this Summoning System mage?"
"Leave it to me!"
A strange light flashed across Zu Xiangtian's body, and at the same time, his own body began to undergo changes!
"Roar!!!!"
When his spellcasting was complete, he had transformed from a human form into something resembling a leopard. An aura similar to a Commander level demon beast was also radiating from his body!
Watching the Zu Family's trump-card secret technique, Chen Lang felt a slight sense of emotion.
Zu Xiangtian's fusion was not perfect, but this was already enough to erupt with the momentum of an orthodox Commander. The fact that the Zu Family could secure a firm foothold internationally clearly meant they didn't only know how to cozy up to power...
After Zu Xiangtian completed his fusion, his overall speed increased significantly, and he practically charged straight across in a reckless collision.
"Bang!"
The instant Zu Xiangtian collided with that pig bear, the scene of him being sent flying that he had imagined did not happen; instead, it was the pig bear that was sent crashing dozens of meters away!
The short black Sakura member standing on top of the pig bear's head had his face turn white with shock!
This was his first time seeing this kind of magic!
Clearly Zu Xiangtian was so small, yet who would have thought he could burst out with such massive monstrous strength!
The very moment the pig bear stabilized, its massive bear paw slammed down toward Zu Xiangtian.
"Boom!"
With this single bear paw strike, in a split second, sand and dust flew everywhere, and the entire ground produced an extremely violent tremor...
The short black fellow originally thought Zu Xiangtian would probably be knocked out of the match by this blow, but very soon, he saw that figure rapidly closing in toward his location along the pig bear's leg!
"Damn it!"
The opponent's target was clearly himself.
Summoning System mages generally cultivated their summoned beasts with all their might, so naturally, their own physical strength wouldn't be strong under such circumstances.
Since Zu Xiangtian was able to trade blows with his pig bear, where could this three-inch-tall body of his possibly withstand it?
Fortunately, his contract beast reacted quickly enough; when Zu Xiangtian was climbing up its demonic body, it radiated a powerful demonic force from its entire body and directly blasted him flying back.
"Hmph roar~~!!!"
The very moment it knocked Zu Xiangtian away, it once again wielded its mountain-sized bear paw and brought it down.
"Whoosh!"
Zu Xiangtian, who secondary-cultivated the Wind Element, directly converged Wind Wings and rose into the air.
"Bang!!!"
With a movement of his dual wings, he once again lunged flying toward the pig bear, and under the impact of the powerful air currents, Zu Xiangtian's single punch actually blasted the caught-off-guard pig bear flat onto the ground...
Seeing this scene, Noda Moriki felt a shock in his heart as well!
They had always felt that among the Great Xia National Academy Team, only one Chen Lang was somewhat troublesome.
Yet who would have thought... there was another such ferocious brute?
"You're fighting me, yet you're still getting distracted—you're courting death!"
After Dongfang Qing completed her constellation, seeing that Noda Moriki had fallen into a daze, her tone revealed extreme dissatisfaction.
"Heavenly Flame Funeral!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
"Boom boom boom!!!!"
Crimson fire rain fell from the sky, instantly sealing off all of Noda Moriki's retreat paths. Due to not reacting in time, he was even forced to put on his armor magic tool.
"Lightning Burst!"
However, giving him no chance to counterattack at all, Dongfang Qing whipped out another Lightning Bolt.
Amidst the flames, electric currents ran wild!
Noda Moriki cursed inwardly; having lost the initiative, he was completely on the receiving end of a beating at the moment. Since he wasn't any sort of defensive mage to begin with, he could only rely on magic tools to defend right now, but how come this delicate little girl didn't pause at all when she went on the offensive?!
To make matters most painful, absolutely no one could come support him!!!
Because his other two visible teammates were in an extremely terrible plight at the moment, forcing him to pray instead that Mochizuki Chiyoko's battle would take a turn for the better...
