"Are you even speaking human language? Facing that girl's ice-attribute attacks, are we supposed to use an ice-attribute defensive barrier instead of a fire-attribute one?"
Thousand Ton Douluo was annoyed. "I've already been given a lot of face by being invited to assist in the competition, and you're still being picky."
Salas, sitting in the main stands, showed no reaction whatsoever, not even bothering to glance at Flender.
According to the competition rules, he only needs to listen to the suggestions of the team captain and the coach in charge; whether he listens to what others say depends on his mood.
Clearly, Flender's previous behavior had disgusted him greatly, so he chose to ignore it.
Left with no other choice, Dai Mubai, as the team captain, had to repeat Flender's words.
Salas ignored him. The referee, a trusted henchman of Salas, nodded knowingly and said indifferently, "According to the competition rules, opinions regarding major modifications to the competition venue can only be raised by the team leader; the team captain has no right to make suggestions."
Upon hearing this, Flender and the others' expressions turned quite grim.
The suggestion was indeed Shameless; by having the team leader, Yu Xiaogang, speak for himself, they were clearly trying to humiliate Yu Xiaogang.
Just as Dai Mubai was about to speak again, Yu Xiaogang, who had been silent, waved his hand, signaling Dai Mubai to step back, and calmly repeated Flender's previous words.
Although he tried his best to appear calm, Yu Xiaogang's fists were clenched so tightly in his sleeves that his nails dug into his flesh, and streaks of blood flowed down.
He was naturally proud, and it was unbearable for him to do something so shameful. But for the sake of the children and to prove himself to that woman from the Spirit Hall, he had no choice but to endure it.
"Your Excellencies, although Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, the coach of the Shrek Team, has made a Shameless request, it is indeed within the rules of the competition, and I must comply."
At this moment, Salas, who was in the main stands, stood up, maintaining an indifferent expression, and calmly looked towards the Shrek Academy stands, asking, " Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, as the team leader, what type of attribute do you think the defensive barrier should be transformed into?"
Please consider this carefully; you only have one suggestion right in this competition!
"Ice attribute!"
Yu Xiaogang solemnly stated the attribute he had already decided on: only the cold air of the ice attribute could reinforce the ice blocks that had accumulated after the ice was broken, forming a powerful defensive terrain to help resist the bursting ice crystals and ice blocks.
"Please, Your Majesties, change the barrier's attributes!"
Salas maintained his impassive and indifferent expression, but a Sisi upturn appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He had long anticipated Shui Bing'er's methods. According to his prediction, the destructive power of the upcoming ice storm would definitely reach the level of an existing Titled Douluo, not to mention that the girl still had a final trump card.
Now, with the amplification effect of an ice-attribute defensive barrier, its power will undoubtedly increase even further.
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang's choice of the ice attribute was tantamount to digging his own grave!
"Trouble!"
Despite their dissatisfaction, the three Demon Subduing Douluo quickly changed the barrier's attributes.
Three minutes later, the Shrek Team sent out Dai Mubai to fight, clearly intending to use ice for defense.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
This time, the spiral ice crystals were dropped at an even faster frequency, with one crystal dropping almost every breath, bombarding the battle platform from all directions.
Clearly, in response to Shrek Team's tactics, Shui Bing'er in the sky also made a tactical change, directly using this crude and simple tactic to break through Shrek Team's tactics.
Dai Mubai below was in a terrible predicament. Although he used the broken ice to solidify into a sturdy defensive barrier, coupled with his own Soul Skill defense, his defensive power had indeed greatly increased.
Faced with such a dense bombardment, Dai Mubai was forced to admit defeat after only one minute of sustained damage.
Although he lost, Dai Mubai was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, he had a smile on his face.
" Xiao Wu, it's up to you now!"
The severely injured Dai Mubai uttered his last words, then his head lolled to the side, and like Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing before him, he fell into a coma.
" Boss Dai, I won't let your efforts go to waste."
After saying this solemnly, Xiao Wu leaped onto the platform three minutes later, but instead of appearing above the ice, she appeared below it.
It turns out that Dai Mubai wasn't just holding his ground in one place, but was running rapidly across the entire area, using his soul Soul Skill White Tiger Protection Barrier, to create circular spaces from the ice crystals and blocks that struck him.
In the previous minute, he had created a total of forty circular spaces.
Moreover, after those three minutes, the ice layers had been frozen by the cold air emanating from the defensive barrier, becoming dozens of times harder than Hundred-Forged Refined Steel, and the defensive strength had increased dramatically.
This is enough to provide Xiao Wu with absolute protection. Combined with Xiao Wu's own Teleportation Soul Skill, even if she breaks through one defensive space, she can Teleportation to another space in time.
As more and more spiral ice crystals fall, the ice layer accumulates thicker and thicker, becoming increasingly powerful, until the spiral ice crystals can no longer be broken.
Using this advantage, they can stall indefinitely; Shui Bing'er is doomed to lose this time!
Surprisingly, Shui Bing'er did not launch a dense barrage of spiral ice crystals to bombard all directions like she did with Dai Mubai. Instead, she launched one spiral ice crystal every minute, and she did not aim it at Xiao Wu's direction.
This was clearly a delaying tactic, as the ice storm was already close to making landfall.
The swirling dark cloud gradually formed a tornado that stretched from the sky to the earth, finally reaching the ground, which was the battle platform.
Bound by a defensive barrier, the wind pillars below are confined to a fixed space, making their destructive power even greater.
That wasn't all; fist-sized ice crystals were continuously condensing and spinning rapidly with the tornado, making its destructive power even more terrifying.
The wind speed of a tornado is terrifying, absolutely close to the speed of sound.
Imagine the terrifying power of an ice crystal the size of a fist hurtling out at the speed of sound.
Tang San and the others were not worried about this, because the thick layer of ice was enough to protect Xiao Wu who was hiding below.
However, Tang San and the others' expressions soon changed, because an extremely cold current was sweeping down from above, and even the slightest escaping frost caused thick frost to form on their ground.
Even the outer perimeter is like this, so you can imagine what it must feel like for the Xiao Wu located in the very center directly below.
Not to mention, the ice-attribute defensive barrier amplified the chill to an even higher level.
"Puff!"
Realizing that he had been tricked by Shui Bing'er and the others again, Yu Xiaogang coughed up another mouthful of blood. If it weren't for Liu Erlong supporting him, he would have collapsed to the ground.
He had already coughed up blood yesterday because of Huo Wu's scheme, and although he had received treatment, he had not fully recovered. Now, this attack only aggravated his injuries and even triggered the hidden injuries he had sustained yesterday.
Not to mention that he had previously been humiliated by Salas, which had dealt him a severe blow both physically and mentally.
"With this kind of mental fortitude, it seems the so-called Invincible Grandmaster of theory is nothing but a hollow title!"
The Thousand Ton Douluo, maintaining the defensive barrier, spoke with his sharp tongue, offering his evaluation of Yu Xiaogang.
Although he knew that Yu Xiaogang had once had a relationship with their Spirit Hall's leader, Pope Bibi Dong, their leader was now keeping Grandmaster as a male concubine, and they spent every night together.
With a more powerful Grandmaster in hand, why would their leader care about Yu Xiaogang, who is a low-end version of Grandmaster in every way?
So even if Yu Xiaogang were to die of anger today, he wouldn't care; he might even clap his hands in delight.
"Puff!"
Thousand Ton Douluo's words were not concealed; in fact, they were transmitted throughout the entire arena using his Soul Power. Naturally, they were heard by Yu Xiaogang, the person involved, who was so angry that he spat out another mouthful of blood and then tragically fell into a coma.
" Xiao Gang! You..."
Enraged, Liu Erlong turned and glared at Thousand Ton Douluo, her phoenix eyes filled with murderous intent.
"What? You want to test your skills against me? How about we go to the deathmatch arena today?"
With a sinister grin, Thousand Ton Douluo truly hoped that Liu Erlong would agree, so he could take the opportunity to eliminate her.
He knew that it was Liu Erlong who had taken Yu Xiaogang away, making her a rival to his boss Bibi Dong. Although his boss had later found a better Grandmaster, this matter would inevitably leave a grudge in Bibi Dong's heart.
If we could take this opportunity to kill Liu Erlong, I think our boss Bibi Dong would be very happy.
" Erlong, calm down, don't fall for his tricks, Xiao Gang's injuries are more important!"
Liu Erlong did indeed have a fiery temper. Provoked by Thousand Ton Douluo, she was about to fight, but Flender held her shoulder in time.
Upon hearing about Yu Xiaogang's injuries, Liu Erlong, who was in a fit of rage, immediately regained some composure. She glared fiercely at Thousand Ton Douluo before squatting down and Zhuan Hun power to heal Yu Xiaogang.
The three of them possess Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which allows them to fuse their Martial Soul. Naturally, their Soul Power can also be fused together, making it perfect for healing.
" Xiao San, the rest of the battle is yours to command."
As an aside, Flender also knelt down to help Liu Erlong treat Yu Xiaogang's injuries.
"Teacher!"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's mouth bleeding, Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot, a chilling killing intent brewing within them. Clearly, he harbored murderous intent towards Shui Bing'er, who had caused all of this.
He's determined to get that debt back from Shui Bing'er tenfold!
" Xiao Wu, admit defeat quickly, leave the rest to me."
After estimating that the cold air in the battle arena was almost reaching Xiao Wu's limit, Tang San decisively told Xiao Wu to admit defeat.
With team captain Dai Mubai and team leader Yu Xiaogang both unconscious, Shrek Team's team could no longer accept defeat on Xiao Wu's behalf, so they had no choice but to let Xiao Wu withdraw voluntarily.
However, Tang San underestimated Xiao Wu's feelings for him. In order to make his upcoming battle with Shui Bing'er easier, Xiao Wu did not immediately back down, but gritted her teeth and persevered.
" Xiao Wu, come out quickly!"
Tang San couldn't sit still any longer. He flashed to the outside of the defensive barrier and shouted anxiously.
Unfortunately, Xiao Wu herself had her own principles and continued to endure that biting cold.
Even with the ice layer above providing some protection, the chill was still rapidly eroding her body.
Time was slowly passing by when Xiao Wu was shocked to find that she could no longer use her Teleportation Soul Skill, and even her consciousness began to blur.
Just as she was about to lose consciousness, Xiao Wu finally opened her mouth slightly to admit defeat.
The referee, who had been standing behind him for some time, immediately used his spatial abilities to send him out.
Tang San had been anxiously waiting for this moment, rushed forward, but unfortunately, he was punched away by a blue figure.
"Get out of here!"
It was Little Nine who sent Tang San flying. She glared at Tang San, who had been sent flying backward, with murderous intent. Little Nine then bent down and picked up Xiao Wu, who had turned into an ice sculpture, and returned to the stands of the Plant Academy, preparing to Martial Soul Fusion with Jiang Zhu and begin treating Xiao Wu.
