The charm of personal connections, a righteous gang-up, and the miserable Dai Huabin duo
Sometimes, having no rules is the best rule.
The rules of the Grand Melee Selection Tournament were certainly unexpected, but once they came to their senses, the smarter players immediately chose to team up.
At this point, the benefits of Jiang Yu and his group's previous lavish spending on entertaining people and cultivating relationships became apparent.
Not long after Xuan Zi finished speaking, Xie Huanyue was almost the first to squeeze in front of Ning Tian and the other person, and then he whispered:
"Sister Tian, the situation is still unclear. Let's join forces first."
Ning Tian naturally wouldn't refuse.
At this point, the first step is to unite everyone who can be united to eliminate the others. As for what happens afterward, that will be a test for Xie Huanyue and the others.
With Xie Huanyue leading the way, almost all the second-year core disciples who had been invited by Jiang Yu and his two companions to the Shrek Grand Hotel, such as the Blue Family Sisters, Huang Chutian, Zhou Sichen, and Cao Jinxuan, gathered around.
Compared to Dai Huabin, they preferred to team up with Ning Tian, who was generous and wealthy.
They had a clear division of labor: the Battle Soul Master, led by Xie Huanyue and Wu Feng, stood on the outer perimeter, while the support or control Soul Master, such as Ning Tian and the Blue Family Sisters, were positioned closer to the inside.
This small group, once formed, accounts for nearly one-third of the Outer Court Core Disciple.
On the stands, Xuan Zi paused in his eating of roast chicken upon seeing this, then muttered:
"That really suits the style of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
The situation in the Soul Fighting Zone is clear: Ning Tian's small group has the largest number of members and the strongest strength, while the team consisting of Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and others is close behind.
Other teams, such as the core disciples from the third and fourth years and the two-person team of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu who were excluded, are not worth mentioning compared to them.
The only solo team in the arena was He Caitou, the sole representative of the Soul Tool Department. The moment the brawl began, dozens of cannon barrels bulged up all over his body, making him look like a hedgehog.
He was also the first to make a move. Under the firepower of Level 4 Soul Engineer, level two and three Soul Master had almost no chance to resist. So in just an instant, most of the students in the small team composed of third and fourth-year students were caught off guard and were rescued by Xuan Zi.
Seeing the bewildered faces of the core students, Xuan Zi, with a displeased expression, gave each of them a chicken bone, then scolded:
"Idiot, you're a third or fourth grader, how can you be eliminated so easily?"
Those people looked very aggrieved.
Who knew that big, dark-skinned man would suddenly sneak up behind them and attack their butts?
That kind of firepower is something even a typical four-ring Soul Elder couldn't withstand, let alone them, who were several Soul Elder.
As He Caitou made his move, Huo Yuhao activated his Spiritual Detection Sharing, and the mournful sound of a flute began to play.
Xiao Xiao, Nine Phoenix Worshipping Flute, Soul Skill Effect: Area Slowdown!
Bei Bei and the others knew that what they needed to do now was to eliminate those small groups that wanted to stand by and watch the trouble unfold. So, the six of them instantly reached a consensus, and the Battle Soul Master attacked the six remaining core disciples from the third and fourth grades at the same time.
At the same time, after leaving some people to guard Huo Yuhao's team, Ning Tian immediately directed the others to surround Dai Huabin and his companion.
Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred. Wu Feng looked at Dai Huabin, whose face now bore a hideous scar stretching from his right forehead to his left chest, then at Zhu Lu, whose right hand fingers had been reattached but were somewhat deformed, and then sneered:
"Hey hey hey, isn't this Scarface and One-Finger Sister? Long time no see, what happened to you and you're in such a sorry state?"
"Look at your miserable state, it seems the poison I specially concocted for you really worked, leaving you with such an unforgettable memory..."
Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin, whose expression had been gloomy, suddenly raised his head, his eyes turning bloodshot in an instant, and then roared:
"It was you! You're the one who Jiang Yu poison us! You're asking for it! You're asking for it!"
"Why are you yelling so loudly?" Wu Feng picked at his ear. "So what if I disfigured and crippled you? Is it really worth getting so angry over such a small thing? After all, we haven't even taken your lives yet."
Wu Feng's words were undeniably infuriating. Upon hearing them, the resentment and frustration that Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu had accumulated from being the subject of ridicule and gossip due to their disfigurement and disability erupted instantly.
Both of them had bloodshot eyes and were panting heavily, clearly indicating that they had received the authentic Tang Family inheritance.
"Zhu Lu, the Hell White Tiger."
After regaining his senses, Dai Huabin, realizing that the two of them alone could not withstand the combined attack of Wu Feng and the others, immediately used the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger, with Zhu Lu.
After the intense light faded, the enormous Hell White Tiger crashed to the ground.
"Nine Treasures Turn Into Glazed Glass."
Upon seeing this, Ning Tian murmured softly. The dazzling Nine Colors light illuminated her exquisite face, giving her an ethereal beauty that seemed to transcend the mortal realm, making her breathtakingly beautiful.
"Go all out and wipe them out!"
As Ning Tian issued the command, Xie Huanyue and the others, who had no time to be shocked by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Xie Huanyue, instantly felt their attributes surge.
The feeling was like taking a kidney tonic followed by an aphrodisiac; the whole body was burning with an unreleased heat, and only fighting could vent the restless fire within!
"I'll go first, Strength Cannon Hammer!"
Huang Chutian, the Great Strength Divine Ape, took the lead and slammed his fists down hard on the ground!
"Mount Tai Crushes the Summit!"
With its elephant-like Elephant Body, Elephant Trunk activated Xie Huanyue leaped high like an overinflated balloon, precisely locking onto the Hell White Tiger below.
Time Freeze!
The Time Fleeting Bell shone brightly with silver light above Cao Jinxuan's head. As a rare Space-Time-type Martial Soul similar to the Space-Time Dragon, the Time Fleeting Bell's performance in terms of control was even superior to the Space-Time Dragon!
After the three main forces of control and suppression made their move, the ice and fire type Soul Beast summoned by the Hair Net and the Treasure Codex, as well as the Wu Feng who had been eager to fight, followed closely behind.
A just brawl!
On the stands, Xuan Zi's lips twitched at the sight.
Amplified by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Wu Feng and the others were all formidable combat forces. Although the Hell White Tiger was strong, its combat power could only be considered at the high-level Soul Ancestor level at best. Let alone dealing with the siege of everyone, even if it was just Ning Tian and Wu Feng alone, they would be enough to beat the Hell White Tiger to a pulp.
After Dai Huabin and his companion had been beaten enough, Xuan Zi finally freed them from the barrage of punches and kicks, leaving them delirious.
Looking at the two barely recognizable human-like figures on the ground, Xuan Zi stroked his chin. After instructing the recently eliminated third-year students to carry them away for treatment, he muttered:
"Did the White Tiger Duke's Mansion do something heinous behind the scenes? Why are they all suffering such a terrible fate, like they're being punished?"
"Sigh, whatever, fate has other plans. As long as no one dies in the academy, what else is it to us?"
Returning our attention to the Soul Fighting Zone, after dealing with the Hell White Tiger, Wu Feng and the others, whose skills were on fire, glanced sideways at the temporary alliance formed by the students who had not teamed up with their classmates not far away.
Those who were being watched by Wu Feng instantly felt immense pressure.
"Senior, please give us some face and let us off the hook... Ah--"
"What are you babbling about? Take this punch from me first!"
Before the leader could finish speaking, he was sent flying by a punch from Wu Feng.
"Holy crap, senior, don't hit me in the face!"
"Senior, shift your butt a little, I can actually get down by myself..."
After a series of gasps and screams, the entire Soul Fighting Zone fell silent instantly.
Looking at the entire scene, only Huo Yuhao's team of seven and Ning Tian's team of eight remained.
