As the competition ended, heated discussion and applause erupted around Martial Arts Arena, and the faces of the onlookers were filled with excitement.
Yu Tianlin walked down from the stage. Facing Yu Yuanzhen's compliment of "not weaker than the ordinary Titled Douluo", there was no trace of pride on his face. He walked up to Yu Yuanzhen, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Yu, it's time for me to set off for Spirit City."
Yu Yuanzhen looked at his neither arrogant nor impetuous look, with no concealment of satisfaction in his eyes. He raised his hand and patted Yu Tianlin on the shoulder. "Let's go, we'll go with you and take a look at your game."
Yu Luomian and Dugu Bo walked out of the crowd at the same time, and four figures rose into the air and flew in the direction of Spirit City.
Spirit City is the only city on the mainland that is not under the jurisdiction of any empire. The entire city is built on the mountain. The gray-white city wall is more than ten feet high. The golden Pope Palace in the center of the city shines brightly in the sunlight.
It was early afternoon when the four arrived, and teams wearing various uniforms could be seen everywhere on the streets.
The hotel where Thunder Academy stayed was an independent stone building in the east of the city. When Yu Tianlin opened the door, Yu Tianxin, Yu Tianheng and others were sitting around the table.
When everyone saw Yu Tianlin coming back, they first showed joy, and then saw Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin who followed behind and walked in. They stood up at the same time and bowed and saluted. "Grandpa, Second Grandpa."
Others also stood up one after another and expressed their due respect to the two Titled Douluo. Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite.
"What are you discussing?" Yu Tianlin walked to the table.
Yu Tianxin pushed the match list over. "The opening ceremony and lottery ceremony were held in the morning. Our opponent in the first game is Star Luo Royal Academy. The captain Dai Weisi is level 49 like me. Soul Ancestor, the vice-captain Zhu Zhuyun is level 47 Soul Ancestor. If you Tian Lin don't play, we will be on par with the opponent in terms of level, so we are discussing tactics."
Yu Tianlin glanced at the match list. Star Luo Royal Academy's lineup consists of all Soul Ancestor, fully equipped and capable of both offense and defense. "I will definitely not play in the afternoon game, but I can give you some suggestions on tactics and personnel arrangements."
In the following noon, Yu Tianlin made a detailed analysis and response plan for every position of the Star Luo Royal Academy. Every word he said was to the point, from formation to rhythm control, from the first wave of confrontation to possible variables, everything was sorted out clearly.
Yu Yuanzhen sat on the chair next to him with his eyes closed, listening to every word of Yu Tianlin's deployment. This young man spoke in an unhurried tone, but every word was filled with determination, like a veteran who has commanded hundreds of team battles and could clearly see every corner of the battlefield. This kind of leadership quality is not innate, but is honed in actual combat.
Time soon came to the afternoon, and when everyone arrived at the Spirit City competition venue, Spirit Hall learned that the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was coming in person, so he quickly added a special seat at the top of the VIP seats.
Yu Tianlin and Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Luomian, and Dugu Bo boarded the VIP seats together. Pope Bibi Dong had already taken his seat in the central seat. His golden papal robe shone coldly under the light. Behind her stood Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo. Gui Mei. Seeing Yu Yuanzhen walking up to the VIP table, Bibi Dong glanced sideways slightly. Their eyes met in the air for a moment, and each nodded. Star Luo Royal Academy's envoys and senior officials from each promotion college also lined up on both sides.
On the ring, the team members of the Thunder Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy were already in place. Dai Weisi stood at the front of the team, with evil eyes White Tiger Martial Soul emerging behind him. There was no sense of oppression from level 49 Soul Ancestor. The reservation was released. Zhu Zhuyun beside him was slender, and Nether Civet Martial Soul was squatting behind him. Their faces were somewhat similar to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, but their temperaments were completely different, colder and more calm.
Yu Tianxin stood in the center of the Thunder Academy formation. Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul looked up to the sky and roared. Behind him were Yu Tianheng, Lei Dong, and. Lei Jiu, Lei Li, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, except for Ye Lingling who is a healer and does not participate in head-to-head confrontations, the other six are all at the Soul Ancestor level.
The referee announced the start, Soul Ring on both sides lit up at the same time, Dai Weisi took the lead in attacking, White Tiger Intense Light Wave spurted out from the mouth, the milky white light beam went straight to the center of the Thunder Academy formation, Zhu Zhuyun followed closely, Hell Stab turned into a black shadow and cut in from the flank, so fast that it left several afterimages in the air.
The combination of Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun is far more skillful than Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. This is the real power of the combination.
Yu Tianxin was well prepared. Thunder Turtle Shield of Lei Li met White Tiger Intense Light Wave head-on. The lightning on the shield exploded, blocking the beam of light. Lei Dong's spider silk was spread on the flanks in layers. At the defense line, Zhu Zhuyun's Hell Stab's speed dropped sharply after it cut into the spider web range. Thunder Spider Silk's paralysis effect disrupted her charging rhythm. Both sides completed the first round of testing, and both had a clear understanding of each other's true strength.
At the end of the first round of testing, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun retreated at the same time, falling back to the center of their own formation. Both of their faces were a bit more solemn than at the beginning. The opponent's defense was more difficult than they expected. Zhu Zhuyun's two flank cuts were both blocked by Thunder Spider Silk accurately intercepted, and Dai Weisi's White Tiger Intense Light Wave was also firmly blocked by Lei Li's Thunder Turtle Shield. The results of the test were very clear, Thunder Academy's defense line cannot be torn apart by personal ability.
"Everyone comes forward, start a melee." Dai Weisi ordered in a low voice, Star Luo Royal Academy and the remaining team members released Martial Soul at the same time, except Dai Weisi's White Tiger and Zhu Zhuyun's Hell Spirit Cat, there is also one Martial Soul in the formation, Reflecting Mirror's defense type Soul Master, two Power Attack System, one control type and one auxiliary type.
Reflecting Mirror Martial Soul's Soul Master stood at the front of the formation, drawing a circle with both hands in front of him. A huge silver-white mirror shield condensed out of thin air. The stream of light on the mirror rotated, refracting the lights on the arena into colorful spots.
The two sides collided violently in the center of the ring. Lei Li's shield and Reflecting Mirror were the first to collide. The moment the shield hit the mirror, Reflecting Mirror used the same angle. The speed bounced back, and the two lightning beams overlapped and flew back toward Lei Li. Lei Li groaned and took a step back. This was the first time he was repelled head-on in this competition.
Yu Tianheng's Thunder Fury blasted towards Reflecting Mirror Soul Master from the flank. The moment the dragon-shaped thunderbolt hit the mirror, it was also rebounded. Yu Tianheng dodged sideways, and the dragon-shaped thunderbolt flew past his shoulder, exploding a ball of lightning at the edge of the ring.
"The mirror reflects all straight-line attacks, use the range Soul Skill." Before Yu Tianxin finished speaking, the person rushed out. His target was not the mirror, but Dai Weisi behind the mirror.
