When Yang Podi returned to the Soul Master Tournament team without making a sound, it was as if nothing had happened outside.
The matches continued, with Heaven Dou Second Team maintaining their winning streak. The only team that posed a threat to them was Godwind Academy Team.
The match against the Divine Wind Team was arguably the toughest of all the competitions. All seven of the Divine Wind Team's Soul Master were wind-attribute, especially Feng Xiaotian Soul Power reached level 44. Moreover, the fact that all of them were wind-attribute Soul Master made them a strong counter to Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan's poisonous mist collided with the hurricane of the Divine Wind Team and was easily dispersed, which enraged Dugu Yan, who almost wanted to use her own deadly poison to overwhelm the Godwind.
But Niu Meng and Yang Ping'an stubbornly stood at the forefront. Those wind-attribute Soul Elder were basically no threat to Niu Meng, let alone Yang Ping'an, a Soul King.
After a relatively long and drawn-out battle, Heaven Dou Second Team emerged victorious, instantly putting them far ahead of the rest of the top teams. Among all the strong teams, only Heaven Dou Team One remained undefeated.
Time was running out, and the preliminary rounds were nearing their end. Almost all the matches were finished, with even the Heaven Dou Team One and the Godwind Academy having played a match.
The Heaven Dou Team One ultimately dispatched a full five Soul Ancestor to barely defeat the Godwind Academy. This battle was exceptionally fierce. Wind-attribute Soul Master still have a certain restraining effect on other Soul Master, especially since wind-attribute Soul Master can fly, giving them a natural advantage.
This is one of the reasons why the Heaven Dou Team One had such a difficult time fighting. Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is much less resilient than his Ice and Fire Body Tempering Refinement, and his Fourth Soul Skill is also much weaker. Oscar's Flying Mushroom Sausage was also exposed, which means they lacked a trump card. It's a pity that Oscar hasn't reached the Soul Ancestor yet, otherwise the Heaven Dou Team One would still have a tough time.
Time flew by and the final round arrived. All the matches between the strong teams had already ended, except for the match between Heaven Dou Team One and Heaven Dou Second Team, which was left until the last round. It's unclear whether this was a deliberate arrangement by the organizing committee.
At this time, Heaven Dou Second Team maintained a perfect record of 27 wins and 0 losses, ranking first among all teams.
Heaven Dou Team One achieved a record of 26 wins and 1 loss, ranking second.
Skywater Academy achieved a record of 25 wins and 2 losses, ranking third. The two losses were against Heaven Dou Second Team and Godwind Academy.
Godwind Academy achieved a record of 24 wins and 3 losses, ranking fourth. The three losses were against Heaven Dou Team One, Heaven Dou Second Team, and Blazing Fire Academy.
Blazing Fire Academy tied for fourth place with a record of 24 wins and 3 losses, losing only to the top three.
Thunder Academy is ranked sixth with a record of 22 wins and 5 losses.
As for the Elephant Armor Academy and Canghui Academy, they only managed twenty wins each and have already been eliminated.
Moreover, among the top six teams, only the Heaven Dou Team One and Heaven Dou Second Team are facing off against strong opponents; the rest are playing against weaker teams, so the impact on their rankings is estimated to be minimal.
The match between Heaven Dou Team One and Heaven Dou Second Team attracted almost everyone's attention.
At this moment, in the preparation area of Heaven Dou Team One, both Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were struggling with whether they should go all out for this final match.
If we send out a lineup of all Soul Ancestor, we might still have a chance to win; otherwise, the battle will be extremely difficult.
Although the two teams have not yet faced each other, neither Yu Xiaogang nor Tang San dared to deny the strength of the Heaven Dou Second Team.
Finally, Tang San gritted his teeth and said, "Teacher, this is the last match now. I don't think we need to hold back anymore. Let's send out our full strength lineup and have a good fight against Team Two. If we can't even beat Heaven Dou Second Team, then we can forget about the Spirit Hall Team."
Throughout the original novel, Tang San appears humble on the surface, but deep down he is an extremely competitive person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used the Clear Sky Hammer, which he had been hiding for a long time, when facing Feng Xiaotian, nor would he have faced the Ice Phoenix, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Skywater Academy, head-on.
Yu Xiaogang himself knew Tang San's personality, and he himself seemed to want to win even more, especially when faced with the Heaven Dou Second Team's rejection. In the end, he agreed to Tang San's request and sent out a lineup of all Soul Ancestor Masters for the first time.
In the Soul Fighting Arena, Heaven Dou Team One Alliance entered the Soul Fighting Arena at the same time. Heaven Dou Second Team still used the original lineup, or rather, everyone was used to it, because Heaven Dou Second Team used the same lineup from beginning to end. On the contrary, Heaven Dou Team One Alliance actually underwent personnel changes. Tai Long and Ning Heng, who had never played before, appeared on the field. This was also the first time that Heaven Dou Team One showed its full strength.
After everyone on the field displayed their Soul Ring, the audience was completely astonished, especially Tai Long and Ning Heng, who were two Soul Ancestor who had never appeared before. A lineup of seven Soul Ancestor was a rare sight even in the Heaven Dou region.
Yang Podi was also secretly pondering whether Yu Xiaogang had yet developed the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill Seven-in-One Fusion Skill. If he had, he would decisively concede defeat, as the people on the field still wouldn't be able to defeat it. If he hadn't developed it yet, then he would probably have to disappoint Yu Xiaogang, Yang Podi was still very confident in the lineup on the field.
As soon as the match started, the Control System Soul Master from both sides took the initiative to act. Tang San used his First Soul Skill, Entanglement, to attack Ye Lingling directly. Clearly, the Heaven Dou Team One's goal was to surround and attack Ye Lingling. Meanwhile, Dugu Yan directly activated her Soul Skill, spreading various poisons throughout the Soul Fighting Arena.
Heaven Dou Team One seemed to have been prepared. Bai Xiaofei immediately activated his Soul Skill, sending a gust of wind towards the poisonous fog in the Soul Fighting Arena.
In order to deal with Yang Ping'an, Heaven Dou Team One actually used Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng to gang up on him, clearly trying to subdue Team Tian Dou's strongest point.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, faced Niu Meng directly. With her incredible speed, Xiao Wu managed to hold her Niu Meng against him.
This puts Tai Long in a tough spot, as he has to face both Yang Tianyue and Yang Yuxuan at the same time, and he gets completely dominated by the two of them.
As for Niu Kui, he focused on protecting Ye Lingling and did not rush forward.
Fortunately, Ning Heng's support buffs are extremely strong, allowing the two sides to maintain a stalemate in the short term.
Tang San, meanwhile, commanded the entire field by wielding his Blue Silver Grass. Thanks to the agility of the Blue Silver Grass, all the team members moved swiftly, and both sides managed to hold their own for a short period of time.
Yang Podi looked at the Soul Fighting Arena and couldn't help but smile. The tactics of the Heaven Dou Team One were not bad. It seemed that they wanted to rely on the large number of Soul Ancestor to wear down the opponent. However, he wondered if Ning Heng, who had just entered the Soul Ancestor, could outlast Ye Lingling, who was already level 48. Ning Heng's support and Ye Lingling's healing were the key to whether the two sides could continue.
Moreover, Yang Ping'an, the explosive point, is a Soul King, and cannot be stopped by two low-level Soul Ancestor.
On the Soul Fighting Arena, Yang Ping'an and Niu Meng joined forces. Yang Ping'an's Soul Ring flashed, and he actually unleashed his Fourth Soul Skill: Unstoppable.
Upon seeing this, Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai decisively activated their own Soul Skill, attempting to withstand the attack.
At that very moment, Niu Meng activated his Fourth Soul Skill: Bronze Wall Iron Rampart, which blocked Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and Xiao Wu, and even blocked Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.
At this moment, Yang Ping'an was in everyone's blind spot, as the Niu Meng, Plate-Armored Giant Rhinoceros in front of Yang Ping'an blocked everyone's view.
To everyone's surprise, Yang Ping'an soared into the air, wielding the Soul Breaking Spear and thrusting it directly at Bai Xiaofei in mid-air. At this moment, Bai Xiaofei was entangled with Dugu Yan Dugu Yan, struggling to restrain her. Caught completely off guard by this sudden attack, he was struck directly.
Just as Bai Xiaofei was struck, Dugu Yan 'Bai Xiaofei poison also struck him, causing Bai Xiaofei to collapse to the ground. The Heaven Dou Team One lost one member.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang's face was ashen, and even the members of the Heaven Dou Team One on the stage looked extremely grim. They hadn't expected that the three members of the Heaven Dou Second Team would coordinate so well, completing their cooperation in just a moment, making it virtually impossible to defend against.
In the past, the Soul Fighting of Heaven Dou Second Team were mainly one-on-one duels, mainly because the opponents were too weak and could not force the opponents' main players to cooperate. As a result, the first time they cooperated, they lost a member of their team, and it was Bai Xiaofei was the most effective counter to Dugu Yan.
Especially Yang Ping'an, the Soul King, drew almost everyone's attention. They originally thought the other party would try to attack Tang San and Ning Heng on their side, but unexpectedly, the other party's first target was Bai Xiaofei, and it happened in just a moment, before they could even react.
Logically speaking, flying Soul Master are the most difficult to deal with among all Soul Master, but Bai Xiaofei was the first target of the Heaven Dou Second Team.
Without Bai Xiaofei's restraint, Dugu Yan's Soul Ring flashed instantly, and green poisonous mist spread throughout the entire Soul Fighting Arena. For a moment, everyone had to use a lot of Soul Power to resist the poisonous mist, and even Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was slowed down a lot.
The situation for Heaven Dou Team One suddenly deteriorated, and without any major moves, they would likely gradually fall into defeat.
However, the Heaven Dou Second Team seemed to be pressing their advantage. Yang Ping'an unleashed his Fifth Soul Skill, White Tiger Destruction Kill, with his black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring flashing. This time, he directly attacked Tang San, seemingly wanting to eliminate Tang San, their core member, in one fell swoop.
Everyone on the field was watching Yang Ping'an's massive Soul Breaking Spear. Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng both abandoned their fight against Niu Meng and wanted to come and assist Tang San.
Xiao Wu, being the fastest, arrived directly in front of Tang San and activated her Fourth Soul Skill: Invincible Golden Body. Although the Invincible Golden Body could block all physical attacks, Yang Ping'an's spear was powerful and heavy, and Xiao Wu was directly sent flying by the Soul Breaking Spear. Tang San ignored everyone and immediately caught Xiao Wu.
At that very moment, Yang Tianyue and Yang Yuxuan simultaneously activated their Third Soul Skill. Unexpectedly, instead of attacking Tai Long, they quickly attacked Ning Heng behind him.
At this moment, Niu Meng suddenly activated his Second Soul Skill: Power of Plate Armor, transforming into a giant Plate-Armored Giant Rhinoceros towards Tang San and his group, forcing Dai Mubai to come and stop him. Otherwise, Tang San would face both Yang Ping'an and Niu Meng at the same time. Meanwhile, Yu Tianheng did his best to rescue Ning Heng.
As for Tai Long, he was too slow and couldn't keep up with Yang Tianyue and Yang Yuxuan at all. Dugu Yan even released a ball of poison from her body and attacked Tai Long directly.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yuxuan turned his spear around and engaged Yu Tianheng Yu Tianheng's path. Yang Tianyue continued to advance, unleashing a series of Soul Skill, which severely injured Ning Heng Ning Heng, causing him to collapse to the ground.
Thus, Heaven Dou Team One has lost two players, including its most important support player Ning Heng and its most important distraction player Bai Xiaofei.
Everyone present seemed stunned by the coordinated attacks of Heaven Dou Second Team Heaven Dou Second Team; the scales of victory seemed to be tipping in their favor.
Without support and the distraction of flight, even if all the remaining members of the Heaven Dou Team One are Soul Ancestor, it would be very difficult for them to turn the tide.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was completely bewildered and deeply self-doubting. Looking at the targets of the Heaven Dou Second Team's attack, they had almost all grasped the key points. Although the two people they took away had relatively weak Soul Power and did not seem so dazzling, they were indispensable to the entire lineup. Without Bai Xiaofei, it would be difficult to restrain Dugu Yan's poison, and without Ning Heng, there was no support.
Is there still any hope of winning?
