The Final Four Matchups, Xu Jiujiu: The Advantage Is Mine
The aftershocks of the Top-Tier Auction are still reverberating, but after a day of rest, the fierce competition must continue.
To Wang Yan's great relief, Main Team Shrek Seven Monsters except Yao Haoxuan had fully recovered. Their lineup of one Soul Emperor, five Soul King, and Four-Ring Soul Ancestor with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was truly luxurious. In their first battle, they crushed the Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, which had five Soul King and two Soul Ancestor.
The schedule became much tighter afterward, and the opponents' strength gradually increased, but Shrek Academy's winning streak was as unstoppable as someone blinded by love giving everything.
It's worth mentioning that, in the process of advancing to the semifinals, Shrek Academy miraculously drew Zhengtian Academy, whom their reserve team had previously toyed with like a spinning top.
Even the reserve team could easily defeat them, let alone the regular players led by Jiang Yu.
The battle ended in less than three minutes. Jiang Yu was even hovering in mid-air watching the show, without even releasing his Spirit Ring.
After the Shrek Academy secured the last spot in the top four, the four teams that will compete in this year's finals were determined: Shrek Academy, Star Luo National Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, and Di'ao Academy.
These teams are all veteran top four teams, each with its own characteristics. Among them, Shrek Academy is undoubtedly the strongest on paper, while the weakest on paper is Star Luo National Academy with its Seven Soul King lineup.
During the random inspection, Xu Jiujiu's gaze towards Jiang Yu was frighteningly intense.
Of course, the burning passion here is not the emotion of liking or admiration, but rather the dissatisfaction and resentment of wanting to Jiang Yu apart and devour him.
Jiang Yu ignored this completely.
Heaven knows if he and Xu Jiujiu are about to be arrested and interrogated again after exchanging glances.
The teams in the final four matchups remain unchanged from the original story: Shrek versus Star Luo National Academy, Di'ao Academy versus Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Back in the rest area, Wang Yan immediately came up to them, nagging them to follow the fixed tactics and be cautious in dealing with the enemy. Of course, apart from the reserve team, who would listen to some of his words, the Main Team Shrek Seven Monsters basically ignored them.
Leaving aside Ma Xiaotao, whose temperament is inherently proud and unruly, Jiang Yu rarely uses tactics when dealing with enemies. As for the others not listening to Wang Yan, it's purely because Wang Yan's cultivation level is too low, lacking any deterrent or persuasive power.
If the teacher leading the team is a Titled Douluo, even someone like Jiang Yu would have to give him some face.
Finally, under Wang Yan's helpless yet encouraging gaze, Jiang Yu was the first to stand up, but he didn't say anything more, he just led the way towards the competition stage.
After entering the semifinals, the Referee for the match was changed to Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo.
This veteran Titled Douluo was a legend. He awakened the Heavenly Fiend Lone Star Martial Soul at a young age, which led to the deaths of his relatives and friends one after another. Due to his arrogant and eccentric personality, he had enemies all over the world. If it weren't for the good fortune of being taken in by the Star Luo Empire, the grass on his grave would probably be taller than him by now.
Of course, this person's strength is still remarkable. With the help of star power, his level 92 cultivation level allows him to fight on par with Super Douluo. Among the many retainers of the Star Luo Empire, he is also among the top five in terms of combat power.
"The match begins!"
After both teams had set up their formations, Heavenly Fiend Douluo shouted loudly, and then his entire body turned into a golden light and disappeared without a trace.
The two sides had a total of fourteen people, and the brilliance of dozens of Spirit Ring instantly illuminated most of the arena. Among them, the most dazzling were Jiang Yu, whose body was shimmering with silver light, and Xu Jiujiu, who was wearing a Xu Jiujiu crown and surrounded by golden light.
"Fight freely, there's no need to hold back."
The moment Jiang Yu the order, Ma Xiaotao, who was already impatient, immediately Phoenix Wings Soaring to rush out, followed closely by Chen Zifeng was holding the Soul Chasing Sword, his body covered in blood and his fighting spirit soaring.
Ling Luochеn raised the ice staff high above his head, and a large patch of icy blue mist continuously poured out of the staff, then spread and enveloped the Star Luo National Academy.
After a deep, resounding roar that echoed throughout Star Luo Plaza, several beams of colorful light shot out and directly entered the bodies of Chen Zifeng and the others.
Faced with Shrek Academy's fierce attack, Xu Jiujiu's third purple ring lit up instantly, and the golden mist brought by the Star Radiance Technique instantly enveloped all seven of his teammates.
"Proceed according to plan. As long as we can successfully lure them into the trap, the advantage will definitely be ours!"
A voice transmission reached the ears of Huang Heyun and the others who had already rushed out. Immediately afterward, the Dark Demon Tiger Huang Heyun and Ma Xiaotao collided with each other, while the Netherworld Berserk Lion Dugu Shangshan became entangled with Chen Zifeng.
Xi Xi faced off against the Lightning Bird Soul King, who prided himself on speed and attack power. The two had similar abilities, and once they clashed, they became locked in a fierce battle. Each collision was so fast that it left afterimages. In just over ten seconds, the two had clashed more than a hundred times.
The scene became chaotic in an instant, but the battle situation was still within Xu Jiujiu control and planning, or rather, this was the situation she hoped to see.
Although Xu Jiujiu admits that he is not as good as Gongyang Mo, the Rainbow Dragon Soul King, in terms of support ability alone, the Star Crown is a weapon Martial Soul born for combat, and its quality is even higher than that of the Rainbow Dragon.
Huang Heyun's cultivation level was no more than level 55. Even though the Star Radiance Technique could amplify his teammates' power while reducing the enemy's attack power, this one Soul Skill was definitely not enough to make up for the more than ten-level difference in Soul Power between him and Ma Xiaotao.
At this moment, the existence of Fire Control Soul King Wang Yichen becomes extremely important.
With her help, most of Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Flame were absorbed or drawn away, so even though the difference in Soul Power between the two sides was more than ten levels, Huang Heyun, who was originally prepared to fight against the White Tiger Soul Emperor Dai Yueheng, still withstood the pressure.
Chen Zifeng's situation wasn't much better. The Netherworld Berserk Lion was an extremely troublesome Martial Soul, and with the aid of the Star Radiance Technique, even though Chen Zifeng's attack power was astonishing, he still couldn't use his strength against Dugu Shangshan.
Ling Luochen was also restrained. The strong wind fanned by the Wind Control Soul King Shi Ying made it difficult for her ice mist to get any closer, and even the ice elements in the air were being slowly eroded by the wind elements.
Realizing the situation was dire, Yao Haoxuan immediately leaped high into the air, crashing into the center of the three battlefields like a cannonball, and then began to pound his chest with all his might.
Seeing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Xu Jiujiu's eyes.
Although Star Luo National Academy's lineup could only rank last among the top four teams, it was precisely in terms of ability that it was able to counter Shrek Academy. Coupled with the various trump cards she had recently prepared, defeating Shrek Academy seemed inevitable.
The only variable is Jiang Yu, who has remained silent since the start of the competition.
Looking at Jiang Yu, who was still suspended in mid-air as if it were none of his business, he snorted coldly Xu Jiujiu, and then decisively issued a command via telepathy.
At the same time, with Yao Haoxuan's help, Ma Xiaotao and the other two who were being entangled also chose to unleash their power almost simultaneously. But at that very moment, a golden light shot out from Xu Jiujiu's hand and crashed straight into Ma Xiaotao.
A terrifying sense of suffocation suddenly enveloped Ma Xiaotao Ma Xiaotao. She tried to escape, but the oppressive force followed closely, then transformed into a golden light shield that suppressed her within it.
Meanwhile, He Caitou, suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Absolute Defensive Soul Tool? How is that possible? How could they possibly use such Soul Tool?"
As soon as He Caitou finished speaking, Xu Jiujiu's fourth Spirit Ring lit up.
Centered on her body, a burst of intense starlight erupted. This time, the starlight was as dazzling as the sun, forming a protective shield that forcefully blocked the ice mist from entering, enveloping the seven of them, Chen Zifeng, Xi Xi, Yao Haoxuan, and the trapped Ma Xiaotao within.
Star's Protection, with additional abilities, Attribute Isolation.
Eighteen stars appeared on the surface of the light shield, shining brightly.
Huang Heyun and Yichen, who were originally entangled with Ma Xiaotao, instantly changed their target to Chen Zifeng. Chen Zifeng, who was originally fighting Dugu Shangshan to a standstill, was besieged by three Soul King and was almost instantly at a disadvantage.
Seeing this, the Lightning Bird Soul King, after feinting at Xi Xi, charged straight at Chen Zifeng. Xi Xi, realizing that Chen Zifeng was beyond saving, immediately reached a consensus with Yao Haoxuan beside her.
Yao Haoxuan's body rapidly expanded, directly entangling the Giant-Winged Vulture Soul King from the front, while Xi Xi's body crackled with lightning, adhering to the principle of capturing the king first, and charged straight at Xu Jiujiu!
Upon seeing this, a strange smile crept onto Xu Jiujiu's lips.
The next instant, just as Xi Xi was no more than three meters away from Xu Jiujiu, three golden lights suddenly descended from the sky in front of Xu Jiujiu, directly blasting Xi Xi away and causing Xi Xi to feel dizzy for a brief moment!
Seizing this opportunity, Huang Heyun, who had already completed the fusion of his strength using the Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Device, directly defeated Chen Zifeng with his strongest Soul Skill, Dark Hurricane. He then followed up with a Demon Tiger Shocks the Heavens's Roar, charging towards Xi Xi, who was being restrained by the Starfall Technique...
