For the next few days, the opponents that Heaven Dou Second Team encountered were all very ordinary, not the kind of seeded teams, and there were basically no Soul Ancestor, at most only one Soul Ancestor.
This was a piece of cake for Heaven Dou Second Team. After a winning streak, Heaven Dou Second Team and Heaven Dou Team One were tied for first place.
Heaven Dou Team One will face a more difficult schedule, as they have already encountered Elephant Armor Academy, a traditionally strong team.
The Heaven Dou Team One sent out four Soul Ancestor: Ning Heng, Tang San, Yu Tianheng, and Yu Tianheng Bai Xiaofei.
Elephant Armor Academy is a traditional, long-established powerhouse. Some even classify it as Elemental Academy because it is proficient in earth elemental attributes. Moreover, Elephant Armor Academy has always been skilled in defense, making it one of the toughest teams to beat.
However, Bai Xiaofei's Martial Soul is the Sharp-Tailed Swift, which flies extremely fast. Even if his attack is slightly lacking, he can still cause great harassment to the students of the Elephant Armor Academy. Moreover, Bai Xiaofei has been training his body with Yang Podi for a long time, so his strength is not bad either. Even his ordinary attacks have a certain attack power, which perfectly restrains Elephant Armor Academy.
After a fierce battle, Heaven Dou Team One emerged victorious. In this match, Tang San showcased the tactics of the Meteor Human Hammer, demonstrating his control to the fullest. Yu Tianheng, on the other hand, displayed the domineering power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, and with similar Soul Power Level, he was able to completely defeat Huyan Li, the captain of the Elephant Armor Academy.
Even though Huyan Li revealed his Head Soul Bone, he was still no match for the group's attack and suffered a miserable defeat. Huyan Li was even seriously injured, especially after his Head Soul Bone was revealed. Tang San and Yu Tianheng focused their attacks on his head, almost killing him!
Meanwhile, Sky Elephant Huyan Zhen in the audience was so angry that his nose was crooked, which only earned him a mocking remark from Ning Fengzhi, making him lose both the match and his reputation.
Whether it was intentional on the part of the lottery organizers or not, Elephant Armor Academy was immediately drawn into the Heaven Dou Second Team after losing to Heaven Dou Team One.
Compared to Heaven Dou Team One, Heaven Dou Second Team, who was extremely tall and Huyan Li 400 jin, Heaven Dou Second Team simply chose to confront him head-on.
Although Huyan Li had strong defense and outstanding strength, Niu Meng of the Heaven Dou Second Team seemed to be much stronger than him in every aspect. Whether it was defense or speed, he completely defeated Huyan Li. He was simply an enhanced version of Huyan Li.
On the stage, Hu Huyan Zhen was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Originally Elephant Armor Sect and the Defense Clan were both proficient in defense, making them rare Defense System Soul Master schools on the Douluo Continent. However, he was actually lagging behind Niu Gao. Huyan Zhen was only level 88, while Niu Gao was already Titled Douluo.
But now, looking at his grandson Huyan Li, he seems to be far inferior to Niu Gao's grandson Niu Meng, especially since Huyan Li still has the Head Soul Bone. In their battle, Huyan Li was completely defeated.
As for the other members of the Heaven Dou Second Team, they simply dealt with the other Elephant Armor Academy students quickly, then stood aside and watched the show, observing Huyan Li and Niu Meng's one-on-one duel, turning what should have been a team battle into a one-on-one duel.
Just two days after the Heaven Dou Second Team defeated Elephant Armor Academy, they encountered Thunder Academy. Thunder Academy's Yu Tianxin possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul and was a lightning-attribute Soul Master, which gave her a slight advantage over Dugu Yan. However, Thunder Academy's overall strength was far inferior to that of Heaven Dou Second Team, and after several battles, Thunder Academy a complete defeat.
As the competition progressed to the halfway point, both Heaven Dou Team One and Heaven Dou Second Team achieved complete victories, with neither team suffering a defeat. Moreover, both teams had achieved complete victories against their opponents, and their players suffered virtually no injuries.
However, unlike the other team, the Heaven Dou Second Team used the same lineup from beginning to end, and didn't even have any particularly clever tactics. They simply overwhelmed their opponents with their superior strength.
In contrast, Heaven Dou Team One, apart from Tang San and Yu Tianheng, seemed to have undergone multiple rotations, employing a dazzling array of different tactics. Tang San's powerful control, in particular, amazed everyone.
The players with the fewest appearances were Tai Long, Dai Mubai, and Ning Heng.
Tai Long, Dai Mubai, and Yu Tianheng have similar abilities; they are all Power Attack System Battle Soul Master with comparable strength. Ultimately, Yu Tianheng is the one who mainly takes the field, Dai Mubai has appeared relatively less often, and Tai Long has not appeared at all so far.
If the first half of the competition saw Heaven Dou Team One and Heaven Dou Second Team neck and neck, then the dominance of Heaven Dou Team One weakened considerably in the second half.
The first problem that Heaven Dou Team One encountered was the Blazing Fire Academy.
Although Blazing Fire Academy only has two Soul Ancestor, all of its Soul Master are fire-attribute, making them natural counters to Tang San, the core member of the Heaven Dou Team One.
After both sides entered the arena, Tang San continued to use his Meteor Human Hammer tactic, but after the Blazing Fire team used their Soul Skill, flames filled the sky, and the Blue Silver Grass on the entire Soul Fighting Arena was burned to ashes.
Even though Tang San's Soul Power was as high as level 45, he was still completely suppressed by the Blazing Fire team. His greatest helper, Yu Tianheng, was evenly matched with Huo Wushuang and could not gain any advantage.
Just as the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, Blazing Fire's core, Huo Wu, activated its Fourth Soul Skill: Huo Wu's Glorious Sun.
A massive fireball appeared in the Soul Fighting Arena, instantly taking down three members of the Heaven Dou Team One, including a Soul Ancestor Soul Ancestor named Bai Xiaofei.
Bai Xiaofei's Martial Soul, the Sharp-Tailed Swift, is extremely fast, giving him an advantage against all other Soul Master. However, there are four Soul Master at the Blazing Fire Academy whose Martial Soul are Fire Crane.
In this way, Bai Xiaofei's harassment effect is basically eliminated, especially since his attack power is relatively weak and he is instead restricted by the opponent's Soul Elder.
After a long and arduous battle, Heaven Dou Team One Heaven Dou Team One barely managed to secure a victory, but it was also the hard-fought win they had ever won.
Moreover, this match was one of the turning points for the Heaven Dou Team One, and it also exposed the Heaven Dou Team One's biggest weakness: Yu Xiaogang's tactics were all centered around Tang San, and so far, Tang San has been the only one to have participated in all the matches.
Tang San himself also revealed a huge weakness: his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is relatively afraid of fire. After this battle, almost every team facing the Heaven Dou Team One would send out a fire-attribute Soul Master, specifically to counter Tang San. As long as Tang San was countered, the Heaven Dou Team One's formation would become very chaotic.
If the victory against the Blazing Fire Academy was somewhat of a narrow one, relying on the strength of its personnel, the defeat against the Skywater Academy was a complete and utter failure.
Skywater Academy's strength wasn't as exaggerated as some might think; their number of Soul Ancestor was far less than that of the Heaven Dou Team One. However, the Heaven Dou Team One underestimated their opponents, sending only three Soul Ancestor.
Everyone present initially thought that Heaven Dou Team One would win, but unexpectedly, Shui Bing'er's strength exceeded everyone's expectations. Her First Soul Skill alone was a group control skill, and she could even cast it instantly.
Furthermore, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu used the Martial Soul Fusion Skill" Ice and Snow Ice and Snow Drifting and snow, and their Martial Soul even formed a giant Ice Phoenix. This was also the first time Shui Bing'er had used Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and its power was quite frightening, covering the entire arena.
But for some reason, Tang San did not back down in the face of the two's Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Instead, he directly used the Clear Sky Hammer to counterattack. This was the first time Tang San had used the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul in any competition.
However, regardless of the circumstances, Tang San is currently only a Soul Ancestor, at level 45. He hasn't undergone the Ice and Fire Body Tempering as depicted in the original story, and his physical attributes are significantly weaker than in the original work.
Moreover, Shui Bing'er repeatedly urged Tang San to surrender from the sky, but Tang San remained unmoved and instead swung his Clear Sky Hammer to meet the oncoming Ice Phoenix.
In the end Clear Sky Hammer collided with the Ice Phoenix, but the Clear Sky Hammer failed to shatter the Ice Phoenix. In fact, Tang San himself was Ice Seal solid, and all the other Soul Master were turned into ice sculptures.
In the end, Heaven Dou Team One Heaven Dou Team One their first defeat. Due to their misjudgment, they underestimated the power of Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu Wu's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, resulting in their first loss in all the matches. Tang San himself was even frostbitten, and if it weren't for the presence of Healing System Soul Master nearby, his injuries would likely have been severe.
Thus, among all the academies, only three teams— Heaven Dou Second Team, Skywater Academy, and Godwind Academy— maintained a perfect record. These three teams had not yet played against each other. Meanwhile, Heaven Dou Team One suffered its first defeat and could only temporarily settle for fourth place.
Immediately, various discussions arose among everyone. Some questioned why Team One and Team Two didn't gather all their elite personnel together, so that they could form a lineup of one Soul King and six Soul Ancestor, which would probably be able to sweep away all other teams.
Tang San's strength has begun to be questioned. It's not that Tang San Soul Power Level is being questioned, since level 45 Soul Power is among the best in the entire competition. The main concern is the phenomenon that his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is being countered. After all, now every Soul Master team tries to send out a fire attribute Soul Master whenever they encounter Tang San, making Tang San less of a force to be reckoned with than before.
Some busybodies even made a commentary on all the participants in the entire Soul Master Tournament.
Currently, the most famous Control System in the Tiandu Division are probably Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, and Tang San, but there are more and more doubts about Tang San.
Niu Meng is ranked first among Defense System Soul Master in the Heaven Dou Division, a fact almost no one questions. Besides Niu Meng, Hu Yanli is Huyan Li.
The strongest attacking Soul Master in the Heaven Dou Division is Yang Ping'an, after all, he is the only Soul King in the Heaven Dou Division, and the Soul Breaking Spear is also a top-grade attack Tool Martial Soul. Next are Yu Tianheng Feng Xiaotian, both of whom have excellent performance on the field and their Soul Power Level, and both have top-grade Beast Martial Soul.
As for the strongest support, it is Ye Lingling. The Heaven Dou Division has held so many matches, and the Heaven Dou Second Team can almost leave the field without injury in every match. Sometimes they even need to heal the opponent. Among all the Healing System Soul Master, they are in a class of their own.
