Flender followed behind the Hall Guard Knight, advising, " Xiao Gang, stop shouting. Qin Ming will take care of it."
Two Hall Guard Knight dragged Yu Xiaogang to the edge of the plaza and casually tossed him down the stone steps.
Yu Xiaogang tumbled down the stone steps and fainted from the pain.
Flender reluctantly lifted him from the ground and headed towards the hotel where they were staying.
On the square, Qin Ming was also in a real bind.
He knew, of course, that Heaven Dou Second Team was not in a good position in the individual competition, and he didn't expect to qualify for the championship through the individual competition.
The Spirit Hall Team has three Soul King, Star Luo Second Team even has Dai Mubai, Soul King at level 58, in charge.
Although the entire Heaven Dou Second Team consists of Soul Ancestor, the highest level they can reach is only level 44, as demonstrated by Yu Tianheng. In the individual elimination tournament, they have little hope of winning.
However, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team is, after all, a team representing the Heaven Dou Royal Family, so it would certainly not look good for them to admit defeat directly.
Therefore, Qin Ming had instructed the team members before the match that they should just show up and use a few Soul Skill, and not go all out. The team battle in the afternoon was the key, and the Spirit Hall Team and the Star Luo Second Team should fight to the death.
While this strategy may seem somewhat opportunistic, it is the most pragmatic choice under the rules of the finals.
Yu Xiaogang had to stir up this mess. Now everyone has seen through the Heaven Dou Second Team's ulterior motives. He's truly a useless piece of trash who's good for nothing but causing trouble.
Qin Ming cursed Yu Xiaogang inwardly, but dared not show it on his face. After all, Yu Xiaogang had a powerful background, while he was just an ordinary person with no background.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his surging anger. Since things had come to this, he might as well admit defeat.
Qin Ming raised his hand, then bowed slightly to the referee and said, "Referee, our Heaven Dou Second Team forfeits the first half and voluntarily enters the loser's bracket final this afternoon."
The referee glanced at him and calmly asked, "Please state your reasoning."
Qin Ming hesitated for a moment, his tone tinged with helplessness. "Referee, our Heaven Dou Second Team feels we are not strong enough to pass the individual competition. Playing would only increase our energy expenditure and be detrimental to the later matches. We plan to go all out in the loser's bracket team battle this afternoon."
A murmur arose from the stands; some nodded in understanding, while others looked disdainful.
Bibi Dong sat on the high platform, her lips twitching slightly, whether in mockery or indifference was unclear.
The referee nodded and announced, "Since the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team has decided to forfeit the morning's match, the individual competition will continue. Currently, only two teams remain on the field: the Spirit Hall Academy Team and the Star Luo Royal Academy Second Team. Please send out your players."
Osler walked off the field, and together with the other members of the Heaven Dou Second Team, they left the field and went to the spectator area.
At this moment, the three-team melee on the field turned into a duel between two teams.
Everyone in the square refocused their attention on the competition, putting aside the earlier incident involving Yu Xiaogang.
Bai Chenxiang, standing at the edge of the arena, glanced back at Dai Mubai, Dai Mubai nodded slightly in response.
Bai Chenxiang took a deep breath, turned around, and walked onto the arena.
The referee raised his right hand, and his voice rang out again. "Individual Elimination Round, Match 1. Zhao Ming of the Spirit Hall Team versus Bai Chenxiang of the Star Luo Royal Academy Second Team. The match begins."
As the referee's voice faded, the individual competition officially began.
The Spirit Hall's representative was Zhao Ming, a level 42 Power Attack System Spirit Master who replaced Auxiliary Soul Master. His Battle Soul Ancestor the Martial Soul Demon Bear, and his Soul Ring were yellow and purple.
Bai Chenxiang, a level 39 Agility Attack Soul Elder, had a three-level difference in Soul Power compared to her opponent. This difference wasn't significant, but she lacked a fourth Soul Skill.
Here, I'd like to introduce a fairly universally recognized basic restraint chain in individual Soul Master World Soul Battle.
Control-type characters counter Agility Attack. Control-type characters can restrict the movement of Agility Attack -Agility Attack through skills such as binding and slowing down, preventing them from utilizing their speed advantage.
For example, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is relatively effective against Zhu Zhuqing's Hell Spirit Cat.
Agility Attack counter strength -Power Attack System Power Attack System. While strength-based attacks boast powerful attacks, their speed is a weakness. Agility Attack can utilize their high mobility to control and wear down opponents.
Power Attack System are effective against Defense System. Power Attack System stack all their Soul Ring attributes onto attack power, pursuing the ultimate physical destructive force, and are capable of forcibly breaking through the solid barriers of Defense System.
Defense System Defense System Soul Master are effective against control-type Soul Masters. They possess extremely high resistance and damage reduction capabilities, enabling them to effectively resist or even become immune to control effects, making it difficult for control-type skills to take effect.
However, this is not absolute. It only applies when the levels of both sides are not much different. In actual combat, it will definitely be affected by a variety of factors.
With changes in battlefield environment, Soul Ring Soul Skill configuration, mission requirements, and other factors, the relationships of mutual restraint will also change.
For example, in a one-on- Defense System Agility Attack, the Agility Attack is not afraid of the Defense System, since you can't hit me anyway, I can slowly wear you down.
However, in team battles, Agility Attack need to target the backline, while Defense System can effectively curb the destructive power of Agility Attack.
Another type is the Power Attack System versus the control type. If the control type can maintain a safe distance, it can wear down the Power Attack System.
For example, Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track greatly increased his chances of survival.
Once Power Attack System successfully closes in, or has a long-range offensive lock-on skill, the control character is basically doomed.
At this moment, on the field, Bai Chenxiang, an Agility Attack, is facing off against Zhao Ming Power Attack System.
The match has begun.
Bai Chenxiang fully utilized her agility, flapping her wings and soaring into the air, unleashing a series of wind blades at Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming raised his bear paw to block, and the wind blades struck his keratin layer with a crisp sound like metal clashing, leaving shallow white marks.
Although Zhao Ming's Demon Bear Martial Soul possessed immense strength, it was extremely clumsy and could do nothing against Bai Chenxiang, only able to spin around in place.
Bai Chenxiang remained outside Zhao Ming's attack range, slowly and steadily wearing him down.
Fortunately, Zhao Ming was tough and resilient, and Bai Chenxiang was missing a Soul Ring, so the power of the wind blades was not enough to truly break through his defenses, and the two sides were basically evenly matched.
The two sides remained deadlocked for the duration of two incense sticks burning, neither able to gain the upper hand.
After communicating with both team leaders, the referee announced that the first individual match ended in a draw.
"The second match: Dai Lingling from the Star Luo Royal Academy versus Li Kai from the Spirit Hall Academy!"
Dai Lingling walked towards the arena, dressed in a silver-white outfit, her deep gold high ponytail swaying gently, her pale gold eyes carrying an innate arrogance, proving that women are not inferior to men.
With the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul possessing her, a deep tiger roar exploded from her body, her body suddenly grew taller, white fur with gold stripes covered her entire body, and a ferocious "King" character appeared on her forehead. She was the embodiment of a tigress, truly deserving of the name.
Four Soul Ring, one yellow and one purple, rose up in succession beneath her feet, unleashing her level 46 Soul Power.
On the Spirit Hall's side, Li Kai also stepped onto the arena. This man had broad shoulders and a thick back, a rugged face, and exuded an aura of arrogance.
After the Black-Horned Mountain Pig Martial Soul Possession, his skin quickly became rough and dark, a row of black bone spurs rose up on his back, his hands transformed into heavy tusks, and four yellow and purple Soul Ring rose up under his feet, also with Soul Power of level 46.
The second match between two Power Attack System- Power Attack System was significantly more intense than the first.
The match between Bai Chenxiang and Zhao Ming just now dragged on for two incense sticks before ending in a draw; the pace was too slow and it was completely uninteresting to watch.
Now, two Power Attack System Soul Ancestor are going head-to-head; this is the kind of intense atmosphere a final battle should have.
