"This is bad. The difficulty of traversing has increased, and the required Soul Power consumption has increased by at least ten times."
Li Yang, his face grim as he reflected in the mirror, spoke. The instant the Seven Asura Domain expanded, he vaguely sensed a subtle change in the surrounding space.
He then discovered that the Soul Power required to maintain the traversal had increased by at least tenfold. Although he was still able to traverse, the enormous consumption was too much for him to bear, and most of his previous tactics were rendered useless.
Dai Weisi and the others also looked quite gloomy. This mirror-traversing ability was the core tactic of their team. Although the core tactic had not been abolished, the consumption had been increased to a crazy tenfold.
At this rate of consumption, Li Yang's Soul Power would be exhausted in just a few more uses.
Li Yang was already undergoing a Martial Soul Fusion with his younger brother, which allowed him to unleash the Tool Spirit Avatar ahead of schedule. The consumption was already considerable, and now it has suddenly increased tenfold, which is extremely dangerous.
"Execute Tactic 57, and use Tactic 83 as a foundation!"
As the team's strategist, Zhu Zhuyun made the first judgment. They had prepared countermeasures for various situations before the competition, which saved a lot of time and allowed them to respond as quickly as possible during the battle.
Everyone silently accepted the order, and then, led by Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun, they all rushed towards the Botanical Team.
As they rushed closer, a female Soul Master in the center suddenly spewed out a large cloud of thick fog, covering an area of dozens of miles, reducing visibility to less than three meters, and greatly weakening all sensory Soul Skill.
Caught off guard, Little Nine and the others were enveloped in a mist, but they did not panic at all.
The fog appeared as preparation for a surprise attack. Shortly after the fog appeared, Dai Weisi and his entire team suddenly appeared on the left side of the Botanical Team.
Huo Wu was in charge of guarding that area, so it was clear that they had chosen Huo Wu as their first point of attack.
"They're treating me like an easy target!"
With her fiery red eyes narrowed slightly, Huo Wu unleashed her Soul Power. Supported by this powerful Soul Power, Repelling Fire Ring to knock away Dai Weisi and the others who rushed forward.
At the same time, a special Soul Power spread out, turning Huo Wu's body into a sea of fire within a ten-zhang radius, and the scorching heat caused the surrounding air to distort violently.
Even the ground beneath our feet was rapidly turning red, showing a tendency to turn into lava.
"Field!"
Dai Weisi and the others who were knocked aside changed their expressions, because this was definitely a domain power, and Flame Domain known for its offensive power, and it looked like it could soon evolve into Magma Domain.
They had naturally studied the information about Huo Wu and the others, and were well aware of the terror of the Magma Domain. Once Huo Wu unleashed her full power, its might would be unimaginable.
"Continue the advance from other directions!"
Gritting his teeth, Dai Weisi decided to keep trying.
They received intelligence that the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul had been born in the Botanical Team. As a Martial Soul that could rival the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the number one support Martial Soul in the world, its abilities were naturally incredibly powerful.
Although it doesn't have as many functions as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it is precisely because of its singular focus that it is even more powerful.
With the assistance of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, as long as the opponent isn't killed on the spot, they can quickly recover and rejoin the battle.
They didn't want to work themselves to the bone to defeat their opponent, only to have them wiped out by a single Soul Skill and be back to life.
Therefore, in order to truly start a war, we must first eliminate the owner of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
However, the other side also understood the importance of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, and protected all the support-type Soul Master in the center. If they wanted to break in, they would have to defeat the combat-type Soul Master guarding the outer perimeter.
For example, the Huo Wu from just now, except that this Huo Wu's strength was somewhat beyond imagination.
According to the intelligence they obtained, Huo Wu would need to rely on the burst of stored Soul Power to cleverly unleash the Magma Domain in the qualifying rounds, but now she can create the Magma Domain with her existing Soul Power alone.
Facing Huo Wu, who possesses Magma Domain, they are not incapable of fighting, but they will certainly suffer losses. Furthermore, if the battle drags on for too long, the enemy's other teammates will definitely come to their aid, which would be disastrous.
No, continue the assault from there.
Zhu Zhuyun shook her head slightly, her eyes, hidden in the mist, fixed on the flame ahead, and explained in a deep voice, "It's impossible for only one person in the Botanical Team to improve; the others are definitely not lacking either. It doesn't matter where we start."
She didn't believe that only Huo Wu had improved; the other members of the Botanical Team must have improved significantly as well.
Since the enemies have all become stronger, then Huo Wu's location is naturally the most suitable place for them to launch a strong attack.
"Damn it, what's going on with the Heaven Dou Empire? It's one thing for those freaks from the Spirit Hall to have domain power, but how come the Botanical Team has a domain too?"
A young man's disgruntled complaint voiced the sentiments of Dai Weisi and others.
In fact, Dai Weisi and others were under tremendous psychological pressure. Among the teams participating in the finals, their Star Luo Royal Team was only at a mid-level.
In other words, their tactics were well-planned, and they were lucky enough not to draw any strong teams in the first two rounds; otherwise, they would have been eliminated long ago.
After all, not to mention that almost every member of the Spirit Hall's beastly teams possesses a domain power, coupled with a wide variety of Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their strength is despair-inducing.
Meanwhile, the Heaven Dou Empire was also causing trouble. Not to mention the little monsters in the Shrek Team, the First Heaven Dou Team, which was of equal status and reputation, had also developed Group Martial Spirit Fusion Skill, and not just any skill, but two sets, both of which were incredibly powerful.
Fortunately, the First Heaven Dou Team was killed by those powerful families and sects; otherwise, they would have definitely lost if they had faced them.
And this New Botanical Team is a monster among monsters, no weaker than the teams from the Spirit Hall.
"Listen to Zhu Yun!"
Forcing himself to calm down, Dai Weisi agreed with Zhu Zhuyun's opinion.
No one spoke again, and they silently continued to charge towards Huo Wu's location, only to be met this time by three Magma Shenron.
In just a short while, Huo Wu had transformed her Flame Domain into Magma Domain. Although the range was far smaller than when she used it in the promotion match, the energy consumption was much lower, and she could control it much more easily.
Unfortunately for Dai Weisi and his team, they had a plan in place. One of their beautiful women rushed forward and flung out three giant water pythons from thin air.
Because of the dense fog and abundant moisture in the surrounding area, the three giant water pythons quickly absorbed the surrounding water after being thrown out, and their bodies expanded rapidly, transforming into three enormous creatures each ten feet in size in the blink of an eye.
The water serpent collided with the Magma Shenron. Although the water serpent was far inferior to the Magma Shenron in terms of attack power, it was precisely the one that countered the dragon.
The water serpent was instantly smashed by the Magma Shenron, turning into a curtain of water that fell down, causing the originally blazing red magma to cool down rapidly.
The movements of the three Magma Shenron also froze considerably. Taking advantage of this opening, Dai Weisi reached out and took Zhu Zhuyun's hand. Under the cover of their teammates, the two rushed into the Botanical Team's defensive circle and headed straight for Little Nine and the others at the core.
During their charge, the two decisively unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, transforming into a three-zhang-tall Hell White Tiger, causing their combat power to skyrocket.
They had also received information about Little Nine and knew that the boy who looked like a girl was the strongest in the Botanical Team.
However, they were certain that Little Nine wouldn't use the same body-enlarging technique she used against Tang San in the promotion tournament, or at least wouldn't easily use such a powerful move against them.
Otherwise, Little Nine, who was overexerted, would not have been able to win the following matches.
This is their chance!
Sure enough, when they reached the core area, they found that Little Nine still maintained its original shape and had not used that abnormal enlargement technique.
Sensing the approaching opportunity, Dai Mubai and his companion did not hesitate to control the Hell White Tiger and pounce, its sharp, razor-like claws tearing through the air.
They were confident that if their claws landed firmly, they could tear Little Nine and the others apart.
Little Nine's biggest mistake was not using the enlarging technique to preserve her strength.
However, Dai Weisi and his partner, who were initially full of confidence, were somewhat shaken by what happened next.
How is that possible?
"That's impossible!"
The two men were filled with disbelief. Their massive tiger claws, which were about to strike, were blocked by a seemingly slender arm, making it impossible for them to press down even slightly, let alone injure the other men.
According to their plan, the best course of action for Little Nine and the others should have been to avoid the situation, not to confront it head-on.
So what on earth is going on in this situation?
Even though Little Nine was of normal size and hadn't used any secret technique to grow larger, how did she manage to withstand their attack?
"Using one hand is indeed a bit of a stretch!"
Pulling his foot out of the ground, Little Nine calmly made his assessment.
It was indeed a stretch to fight the Hell White Tiger with just one hand, but this realistic assessment made Dai Weisi and his companion even more distraught.
Is this something that can be described as barely acceptable?
The two of them couldn't believe that Little Nine had become so powerful. She possessed such astonishing strength without even using that enlarging technique. How monstrous would she be if she used that technique?
How exactly did Tang San fight this monster back then?
"This is not your battlefield, please go back!"
Having experienced the power of the Hell White Tiger, Little Nine lost interest in it. She stretched out her other arm, grabbed the tiger's paw that was several times larger than her own body, and then swung it violently towards Huo Wu.
Because the enemy's surprise attack location was once again chosen to Huo Wu's, the other team members rushed to provide support, and that area had become the largest battlefield.
However, Dai Weisi Zhu Zhuyun, who were thrown back, were not flustered at all, and even had a triumphant smile on their lips.
Although their first battle plan failed, they never expected to eliminate Little Nine and his group so easily. The previous ambush was mainly to lay the groundwork for their next tactical plan.
In that very instant of their clash, they had already left something behind.
"Huh?"
At the same time, as if sensing something, Little Nine turned around and saw that a huge mirror had appeared behind them at some point. Then, the Hell White Tiger, which had been thrown away, suddenly pounced out of the huge mirror, its huge claws aimed straight at Ye Ren, who had little fighting power.
This had always been Dai Weisi and his team's primary objective; another purpose of the previous attack was to leave a mirror there for the Second Tier of the attack.
The tactics seem to be working quite well; at least their tiger claws have reached within three feet of Ye Ren's head, and they can severely injure him and eliminate him from the competition in the next instant.
Once they lose the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, they can fight the New Botanical Team without restraint.
