Victory, the Undisputed Dark Horse
Jiang Nannan dealt with Soul King Xiao Feng, Nan Qiuqiu dealt with Soul King Chi Hengyu, and Tang Ya dealt with the agility-type Soul King Han Ling'er.
The remaining two Soul Ancestor were dealt with by Wu Feng and Wang Dong'er.
In terms of cultivation, Jiang Nannan six companions were inferior to their opponents.
However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, once the number one auxiliary weapon Martial Soul on the continent, still retains considerable auxiliary effects even in its current weakened state.
With Ning Tian's assistance, Jiang Nannan and the other four can all improve their combat power by one major level.
Although they didn't achieve the same overwhelming dominance as the Zheng Tian Team they once faced, they were evenly matched and not at a disadvantage.
As for Gu Yunxiao on the other battlefield, he completely overwhelmed Lone Bamboo Sword and Qian Yuan, forcing the two to fight back to back.
Gu Yunxiao is not only incredibly strong, but also ridiculously fast, even stronger than the agility-based Soul Emperor.
"Captain, what should we do?" Qian Yuan asked.
"We must hold on and keep Gu Yunxiao occupied!"
Lone Bamboo Sword narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Hengyu and the others are quite strong. Defeating those girls shouldn't be a problem; it just will take some time."
"As long as we can hold off Gu Yunxiao and wait for Hengyu to free up some time, we can deal with this guy together."
Undeniably, with Ning Tian's assistance, Jiang Nannan and her group of five were able to fight against Chi Hengyu and his group of five.
However, this situation won't last long.
After all, Ning Tian, Soul Elder, has limited Soul Power and cannot continue to increase it. Once he starts to decline, he will inevitably fall into a disadvantageous position.
"Captain, that's what you say, but... Xiao Feng has been eliminated." Qian Yuan gave a wry smile.
"What? So fast!"
Lone Bamboo Sword's expression changed, and he subconsciously looked over, only to see that the referee had already left the arena, blocking the terrifying Dark Gold Dreadclaw for Xiao Feng.
Most surprisingly, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw actually caused the Soul Power shield cast by the referee to tremble.
"How could this be? Her Dark Gold Dreadclaw..."
"Captain, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw on this woman's hand is probably close to the ten-thousand-year level of External Soul Bone." Qian Yuan said with a wry smile.
Lone Bamboo Sword immediately fell silent.
Even Dark Gold Dreadclaw approaching ten thousand years old couldn't withstand that attack; no wonder the referee intervened to save Xiao Feng.
"Cheer up and keep holding Gu Yunxiao back." Lone Bamboo Sword adjusted his mindset and said, "That blonde woman used the Dark Gold Dreadclaw, her Soul Power must have been greatly depleted, and she has no strength left to fight."
Qian Yuan nodded.
The nearly ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Dreadclaw, when activated, even caused the Soul Power shield of Titled Douluo to tremble, demonstrating the extent of Soul Power loss.
"Whoosh--"
At this moment, Gu Yunxiao slashed down with his sword, aiming straight for Lone Bamboo Sword.
"Qian Yuan, over here!" Lone Bamboo Sword immediately shouted, urging Qian Yuan to fight alongside him against Gu Yunxiao's attack.
The two unleashed their Soul Skill to directly confront the attack.
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot." Gu Yunxiao chuckled lightly and decisively increased his strength.
"Bang... Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the Lone Bamboo Sword and Qian Yuan's Soul Skill were shattered by a single strike, the longsword aimed directly at the two.
Lone Bamboo Sword and Qian Yuan's pupils contracted, utterly shocked.
Just what kind of strength did Gu Yunxiao possess? He actually managed to shatter the combined power of the two of them with a single strike, and most importantly, he hadn't even used his Martial Soul.
The difference is far from insignificant.
With a single strike, Gu Yunxiao sent the Lone Bamboo Sword and Qian Yuan flying.
"Whoosh!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar, utterly shocked.
Just how strong is Gu Yunxiao?
"Without using his Martial Soul, relying solely on a long Soul Tool, he actually crushed Lone Bamboo Sword and Qian Yuan!"
"His cultivation level is definitely at the Soul Emperor, or even higher!"
"Soul Saint... He definitely possesses Soul Saint power, possibly even more terrifying than Ma Xiaotao from the Shrek Team!"
"..."
The audience was once again amazed by Gu Yunxiao's strength.
Previously, Ye Wuqing, Yu Mengdi, and Gu Yunxiao came one by one.
Even if Lone Bamboo Sword and Qian Yuan joined forces, they still couldn't stop Gu Yunxiao.
"Gu Yunxiao's strength is even greater than when he fought Lexuan." Cai Mei'er raised her eyebrows slightly, noticing something amiss.
This year's Shrek glory will be hard to defend.
Although Ma Xiaotao has broken through to the Soul Saint, Gu Yunxiao possesses the Ultimate Ice, which has a powerful suppressive effect on Ma Xiaotao.
"Dean Cai, is Gu Yunxiao's Second Martial Soul truly the Ultimate Wind?" Wang Yan couldn't help but ask.
He knew that Cai Mei'er's Martial Soul was wind element, and that she should have an extremely strong perception of Ultimate Wind.
"Hmm." Cai Mei'er nodded and said, "The wind swirling around Gu Yunxiao is the Ultimate Wind, and his speed is also brought about by the Ultimate Wind."
"But his power..."
"It might be a Dragon Clan Martial Soul possessing Ultimate Wind attributes."
Their conversation didn't stay hidden from Ma Xiaotao and the others, and they were all quite upset after hearing it.
Gu Yunxiao is too strong, so strong that no one knows how to win.
Soul King geniuses like Ye Wuqing, Yu Mengdi, Lone Bamboo Sword, Qian Yuan, who are not weak, are just 'toys' in Gu Yunxiao's hands.
They understood Gu Yunxiao better than anyone else, and knew how terrifying he would be once he used his Martial Soul.
Meanwhile, the situation on the field was already clear. Although the outcome was still undecided, it was obvious to everyone that the Dou Ling Team was doomed to lose.
"I'm not playing with you guys anymore."
Gu Yunxiao looked at the Lone Bamboo Sword and Qian Yuan, who were almost stuck together and inseparable, and was too lazy to dawdle any longer. He decisively flipped his longsword, and a whirlwind swept out.
Then, with a single slash, a cyan tornado appeared.
The terrifying pulling force directly sucked Lone Bamboo Sword and Qian Yuan in, sending them hurtling upwards within the tornado, unable to resist.
Upon witnessing this scene...
The referee decisively rushed onto the field to help, venturing into the raging tornado and bringing the two players out.
"This young man's strength is truly terrifying." After sending Lone Bamboo Sword and Qian Yuan off the field, the referee gave Gu Yunxiao a deep look.
He also felt an extremely strong suction force the moment he entered the tornado.
However, that suction force only lasted for a moment and quickly disappeared.
After seeing off Lone Bamboo Sword and Qian Yuan, Gu Yunxiao decisively changed direction, killing them one by one with a single strike, sending them off the stage.
"Team match, Dragon God Team wins!" the referee announced decisively.
Cheers immediately erupted from the audience.
The audience cheered, while the other Team were wary.
Everyone thought that Shrek Team had secured the championship by showcasing their Soul Saint prodigy, but unexpectedly, Gu Yunxiao, the dark horse, is even stronger and is also vying for the title.
Everyone tacitly agreed that the championship would be decided between the Dragon God Team and the Shrek Team.
The two matches in the morning have concluded; the remaining two matches are between other Team.
Gu Yunxiao led Jiang Nannan and the other six back to the Hotel to rest, without watching the game.
The individual elimination rounds began the following day, and Shrek Team started again, securing their first victory with overwhelming dominance.
Then it was the Dragon God Team. Gu Yunxiao once again gave the opportunity to Jiang Nannan and the others, and saved the day at the last moment.
As expected, in the individual elimination rounds, Jiang Nannan and her group were indeed no match for Lone Bamboo Sword and the others, and they were all defeated.
However, they did their best and managed to defeat two Soul King.
