The Next Battle: Qianling

Hearing Wang Dong'er's mournful cry, even Ning Tian, who had been standing at the back, couldn't help but laugh.

"Ahem." Dai Huabin cleared his throat, closed the door behind him, and blocked the men's malicious gazes.

Dai Huabin turned around and looked calmly at the three girls in front of him who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.

"The tactical discussion is over. Now it's time to comfort the wounded. You all continue, I'm leaving now."

As he spoke, he was about to walk through the three of them.

"Hey, don't go, class monitor!"

Xiao Xiao stepped in front of Dai Huabin, stretched out her little hand to stop him, and looked up at him with a grin.

"We came to keep Dong'er company because we were worried she'd be bored by herself. But you, squad leader, do you need to hold hands tightly when visiting a wounded soldier?"

Cui Yajie chimed in from the side, her voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Wang Dong'er, who was still under the covers, to hear:

"That's right, and the visit lasted for several hours, even causing them to miss dinner. Squad leader, your visit was so thoughtful!"

Dai Huabin looked at the two of them; one was quirky and clever, the other had seductive eyes, and they complemented each other perfectly.

Before he could speak, Zhu Lu's voice came from behind them, gentle and calm.

"Stop fooling around, Dong'er just woke up and is still weak."

Zhu Lu walked over and naturally stood next to Dai Huafu, shaking her head at Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie.

"Huabin stayed behind because he was worried it would be inconvenient for her to wake up alone."

Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie exchanged a glance, and both saw two words in each other's reactions: boring.

Since the person in question has been so magnanimous, it would be inappropriate for them to continue making a fuss.

"Okay, okay."

Xiao Xiao pursed her lips and withdrew her hand.

"We just came to bring food to Dong'er, who knew we'd stumble upon the class monitor's good deed."

As she spoke, she waved the food box she was carrying.

Dai Huabin glanced at the food box, then at Wang Dong'er, who was wrapped up like a silkworm on the bed, and finally said to Zhu Lu:

"I'll have the hotel send up some lotus seed soup. Her Soul Power is depleted; she needs something light."

"Okay." Zhu Lu nodded.

Dai Huabin turned and left, and this time no one stopped him.

The atmosphere in the room eased after he left.

Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie huddled together by the bed, one on each side, and began to work together to "rescue" Wang Dong'er, who was trapped in the blankets.

"Alright, alright, everyone's gone. Come out and get some fresh air, or you'll suffocate."

"Exactly, what's there to be shy about? The class monitor is just concerned about you."

"I... I wasn't shy at all!"

Wang Dong'er's voice came out muffledly from under the covers, completely unconvincing.

The next morning, Star Luo Plaza was bustling with people again.

The third round of the elimination tournament for the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament has officially begun.

The atmosphere in the Shrek Academy's rest area was relaxed.

Wang Dong'er had recovered her spirits, but she sat there with an unnatural blush on her cheeks, not daring to look at Dai Huabin.

Dai Huabin was too lazy to tease her anymore and was discussing today's lineup with Zhang Lexuan.

"Today's opponent is the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy."

Zhang Lexuan handed a document to Dai Huabin.

"A seven-on-seven team battle. According to intelligence, they are a very standard traditional Soul Master team with a very mature tactical system."

Dai Huabin took the documents and quickly glanced through them.

Qianling Academy, Captain Shen Ce, Level 53 Power Attack System Battle Soul King, Martial Soul Thousand Strike Spear.

The two Soul Ancestor Masters are An Lengye, who has the ice attribute, and Fei Yuyan, who has the fire attribute.

The four were defensive Soul Ancestor, all possessing the same Martial Soul: the Martial Soul Spirit Rhino Shield.

One strong offensive, two control points, and four defenses. A typical positional tactic, impregnable.

"Dong'er was too exhausted yesterday and is not suitable to fight today." Dai Huabin made the decision directly after reviewing the information.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er immediately looked up, intending to retort, but met Dai Huabin's uncompromising expression, and swallowed her words.

"Luo Chen will replace Dong'er, Xue'er will not be playing today either. Xixi will replace Xue'er."

Dai Huabin looked at Ling Luochen was sitting quietly to the side, and Xixi, who was in a daze.

Ling Luochen, with her flowing black hair, aloof demeanor, and beauty like a painting, truly embodies this.

Xixi's delicate and pretty face lit up at this moment.

The competition officially began half an hour later.

"Next, please welcome the two opposing teams: Shrek Academy versus Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy!"

The referee's voice echoed throughout the stadium.

Dai Huabin led six girls of different figures onto the arena, while the seven members of the Qianling Academy were already on high alert opposite them.

Shen Ce, the captain of the Qianling Academy, held a cyan spear and had a solemn expression.

He looked at the Shrek Academy's lineup opposite him, his heart filled with vigilance.

Seven people, six of whom were women.

Moreover, apart from Captain Dai Huabin, the Soul Power fluctuations of the others did not seem to be particularly strong.

But the more uncertain he felt, the more uncertain he became. Shrek Academy never did anything without being sure of success.

"The match begins!"

The moment the whistle blew, Shen Ce shouted, "Form ranks!"

The four Spirit Rhino Shield Soul Ancestor stepped forward simultaneously, their first Soul Ring lighting up. Four enormous cyan shields appeared out of thin air, instantly merging into a thick defensive barrier that firmly protected An Lengye, Fei Yuyan, and Shen Ce behind them.

"Ice Seal!"

"Molten Fire Domain!"

Ice-type control Soul Master An Lengye and Fire-type control Soul Master Fei Yuyan also activated their Soul Skill simultaneously.

A chilling aura spread from the ground, attempting to slow the Shrek group's progress.

Meanwhile, a scorching lava field unfolded around the Qianling Academy's position.

One is ice, the other fire; the two domains counterbalance each other and support each other, clearly a tactic that has been practiced countless times.

However, they were fast, but Shrek was even faster.

"The Seven Treasures Have Names: the first is: Strength!"

The second rule: Speed!

"Thirdly: The Soul!"

Ning Tian's clear chanting rang out, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her hand shone with dazzling light, instantly enveloping the entire Shrek team in three different colored halos.

Strength, speed, and Soul Power —all attributes increased by 40%!

Almost simultaneously, Ling Luochen made his move.

She simply raised her right hand, and her fourth Soul Ring shone brightly. A dense cloud of icy mist instantly spread out, enveloping the entire battlefield.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Ice Mist Ghost Chill!"

This icy mist not only interfered with the Qianling Academy's vision, but also had a peculiar corrosive effect, making the flow of their Soul Power somewhat sluggish.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Luochen's fifth Soul Ring lit up.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Ice Radiance Ring!"

A massive dark blue ice ring descended from the sky, landing precisely on Fei Yuyan's Molten Fire Domain.

The flames in the Molten Fire Domain were immediately suppressed, and their power was greatly reduced.

"Go!" Dai Huabin gave the concise command.

Xixi's figure vanished instantly, transforming into a bolt of lightning that hurtled towards the enemy's shield formation.
