On Teamfight Experience, None of You Here Can Match Me

Night.

Returning Moon Island Manor, study.

Xu Bayan looked at the scroll in his hand. It contained information about the Cupid Kingdom that Xiao Kong had gathered from the Spirit Hall Main Hall here. Several phrases caught his attention.

The Cupid Kingdom faced troubles both within and without?

A Serpent Charm Beast tide that could cause considerable unrest?

"This Meriel spoke with hidden barbs. It seems she's plotting something. Today's seemingly chance encounter was probably arranged too."

Xu Bayan thought as he drank ginseng soup.

However, she probably was not planning anything malicious. Most likely, she wanted to borrow the power of the Spirit Hall on his side to eliminate the kingdom's internal and external troubles.

At that thought, Xu Bayan smiled. Then he would see what the situation was. As it happened, he had an idea of his own.

After reading the scroll and finishing the ginseng soup, Xu Bayan ate some nourishing medicinal dishes before finally going to sleep in satisfaction.

The next day.

Cupid City, the kingdom's capital, Great Soul Arena.

The Great Soul Arena here was slightly different from the Spirit Hall's. Although it likewise featured a spacious structure of domes and pillars, compared to the luxurious solemnity of Spirit City, its design emphasized an atmosphere of art and freedom.

The building was mainly white, accented with warm, light colors, and exquisite wall carvings could be seen everywhere.

When Xu Huxiao and the others arrived, people had already come to welcome them at the entrance. It was still morning, and there were not many people inside the arena.

Only at night did this place become truly lively.

Since it was the seven-person team's first visit to the Great Soul Arena, they registered their personal information and Soul Power Level test results according to the rules for team Soul Battles here.

They each received their own Bronze Fighting Soul Medal.

However, during registration, Xu Huxiao not only provided his Martial Soul information but also chose a codename to conceal his real name.

This Soul Arena was a good place. Xu Huxiao knew he would definitely come here often for practical combat training in the future. In the early stages, people feared fame just as pigs feared growing fat, so choosing a codename would avoid a lot of trouble.

When the others saw Xu Huxiao choose a codename and heard his explanation, they also gave themselves titles they were satisfied with:

Hulk, Xu Huxiao.

Moonshatter, Xie Yue.

Sky Fox, Hu Liena.

Colorful Scales, Yun Ji.

Crystal, Bao Jingjing.

Flame Leopard, Orleans.

Shadow Leopard, Ao Li'ao.

"Brother Huxiao, everyone's titles are related to their Martial Souls. Why are you called 'Hulk'?" Bao Jingjing asked in confusion when she saw the title Xu Huxiao had written on the form.

"I just picked it randomly. Personal preference, I guess. It's not important."

The Hulk. In this otherworldly Douluo Continent, aside from three martial arts manuals, this Martial Soul was probably the only thing connected to his past life on Blue Star.

Like Stone Emperor, that Blue Star Douluo, he would treat it as a memento.

After Xu Huxiao filled out the form, the butler Luo Ming paid the registration fees for all seven of them. Then, led by a staff member, the seven-person team headed toward the VIP room.

Following Xu Bayan's request, this team Soul Battle would not be open to the public. However, gaining a preliminary understanding of the opponent's information before a team Soul Battle was an indispensable step.

The Martial Soul and level information they had just registered must now also be in their opponents' hands.

Inside the VIP room.

Xu Bayan did not participate in the team's tactical discussion and simply let them handle it themselves.

After all, he was not a teacher, nor was he particularly interested in the Soul Battles of a group of children.

Moreover, ever since Martial Soul awakening, after experiencing one shock after another, Xu Bayan had immense confidence in his son's strength.

Xu Bayan felt that whether the boy won or lost, he would gain tremendously from it.

Xu Huxiao looked at the information on the Soul Masters for this team battle, his expression calm. There were no Soul Elders listed, and below the Soul Elder rank, even with his Soul Skills sealed, he was confident that with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and his close-combat techniques, he feared no one.

But that was only what he thought. As the captain, Orleans felt tremendous pressure as she looked over the information on the other team's seven members.

Prince Yan's Hundred Beasts Team was entirely composed of Soul Grandmasters above level twenty. The highest was level twenty-seven, while the lowest was Yan at level twenty.

Of course, their opponents were older than them as well, all around twelve or thirteen. The level twenty-seven Soul Master was fourteen and also the oldest.

The only one close to their age was nine-year-old Yan.

"That stingy prince actually found nothing but Soul Grandmasters. We only have Huxiao and Yun Ji as Soul Grandmasters. We've already lost in Soul Power Level and Soul Skills," Ao Li'ao shouted.

Xie Yue said, "It's not just their Soul Power Levels. Look at the opposing team's Martial Souls."

Bao Jingjing looked over them. "White Lion, tiger, Savage Bear, gorilla, Golden Armored Crocodile, Iron-Hoof Savage Bull, Flame Lord... The first six are all Beast Martial Souls, and all of them are powerful beasts."

"But what kind of Martial Soul is this Flame Lord?"

"I know. I saw it in some materials before. The Flame Lord possesses both fire and earth attributes. Its characteristics are extreme heat, powerful offense, and powerful defense. As a Martial Soul, it appears in a possession form, and it can also be considered a powerful Beast Martial Soul," Xu Huxiao said.

"Oh, oh~" Bao Jingjing's eyes were full of admiration. Brother Huxiao knew everything.

Xu Huxiao had told the truth. He had not learned about the Flame Lord Martial Soul through the Eye of Omniscience. He had indeed seen it in some materials.

Those materials were called "Douluo Continent."

Xie Yue continued, "Clearly, their team follows an extreme offense approach, while ours leans toward balance. This team won't be easy to fight."

Orleans nodded. "That's right. The enemy has seven assault-type fighters. Once they use Martial Soul Possession and charge together, it'll be difficult for us to stop them."

"But as long as we can withstand their first collective attack, that will be our opportunity."

"Because we have trump cards too."

As she spoke, Orleans looked toward Xu Huxiao, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena.

Xu Huxiao had the brilliant record of defeating two Soul Grandmasters alone. Now that he had obtained his second Soul Ring, his strength should have become even greater.

Meanwhile, Xie Yue and Hu Liena, the siblings, possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

The team already knew all this.

"Huxiao can hold off two people. After Xie Yue and Nana use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they can also stall two people. Little Ao and I can each face one opponent with our speed advantage."

"But that still leaves one Soul Grandmaster. Yun Ji and Jingjing are both support types, so they definitely can't handle one. That's a problem."

"What do you think?"

Orleans laid out her thoughts, then looked at everyone.

"It's still the biggest problem: how do we stop their collective charge? This is a team battle. They won't give us a fair chance for one-on-one duels," Ao Li'ao immediately grasped the key issue.

At those words, everyone fell into thought.

The enemy had seven assault-type fighters. If they all charged forward together, how were they supposed to respond?

Seeing the team fall silent, Xu Huxiao felt that he should say something. In truth, team battles were not unfamiliar to him. Based on his gaming experience from Blue Star in his past life—

In teamfights, the most important thing was finding the right opportunity.

As long as they seized the right moment, this extreme offense team would be easy to defeat.

"Have you considered that their extreme offense is both their advantage for victory and their fatal weakness?" Xu Huxiao said.

At those words, everyone turned to look at him.

"A weakness? Why would that be their weakness? I don't understand." A huge question mark seemed to appear above Yun Ji's head.

The others shared the same confusion.

Xu Huxiao chuckled. "Because it means they have no endurance. Once they're seriously injured, they'll immediately lose their combat ability. So, we can do this..."

Under the team's watchful eyes, he picked up a pen and began drawing on the back of the scroll containing the opposing team's Martial Soul information as he explained.

By the time Xu Huxiao marked the final cross, every Soul Master on the opposing team had been wiped out on the back of the scroll.

"That's it. If we coordinate well and adjust our formation properly, we should be able to win this way." Xu Huxiao put down the pen.

After hearing his explanation, everyone suddenly understood. Their eyes held only eager fighting spirit, with no trace of fear remaining.

Orleans looked at the battle diagram on the scroll, then at Xu Huxiao. The confidence he displayed, as though everything was under his control, made her feel as if she were meeting him for the first time.

"Huxiao, why don't you become our captain?" Orleans suddenly felt somewhat discouraged. Whether in team battle strategy, Soul Power Level, or personal strength, Xu Huxiao surpassed her.

Xu Huxiao leaned back on the sofa with his hands behind his head. "No. I'm not interested in being a captain. I'm only offering a tactical idea. Whether it actually works is another matter."

At that moment, Ao Li'ao said, "Sis, my dear sister, my captain, stop overthinking it. We haven't even fought yet. Focus."

"Following the tactical idea Huxiao provided, we really have a great chance of winning. I'm confident that our team's first official Soul Battle will end in victory!"

"Don't forget, this concerns Jingjing's second Soul Ring. So, what do you all say?"

After speaking, Ao Li'ao held out his hand.

"Of course. We will win this battle!" Xie Yue, his eyes shining with intense confidence, placed his hand on top.

"We will win!"

Then Hu Liena, Yun Ji, Bao Jingjing, and Xu Huxiao all placed their hands atop the pile.

Finally, Orleans raised her head with a smile and placed her hand on top of everyone else's.

"When seven people unite as one, they can cut through gold. Victory belongs to us. Let's go!"

At that moment, the seven-person team's confidence reached its peak.

"Haha, that's more like it. With that spirit, winning or losing doesn't matter. What matters is giving it everything you have and leaving no regrets," Xu Bayan laughed.

"Alright, let's go. The hour for rest and preparation has passed. It's time to take the stage."

"And don't worry. Aside from both sides, no one will be watching this wagered Soul Battle. You can unleash yourselves to your heart's content."

Xu Bayan's final words were directed at his son, but he still did not know that Xu Huxiao's arm Soul Skills were sealed, making it impossible for him to display his full strength.

Cupid Kingdom Great Soul Arena, central team battle platform opened.

Although there were no spectators, it did not diminish either side's fighting spirit or the excitement of this Soul Battle in the slightest.

"Seven versus seven, team Soul Battle! Spirit Hall Team and Hundred Beasts Team, both sides, enter the arena!" Luoli, the host of this Soul Battle, shouted through a Soul tool amplifier.
