Will We Win?

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy wins!"

The dust on the Soul Fighting arena had not yet completely dissipated, but the Shrek Team's rest area was deathly silent.

Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochеn, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Wang Yan sat there quietly, their eyes fixed on the direction of the Soul Fighting Arena.

Their faces were all grim, as if shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds, and even their breathing was somewhat suppressed.

That battle just now was truly breathtaking.

The terrifying pressure generated when Bao Liang's Heavenly Fire Greatsword, formed from Lie Yan yet as dazzling as the Sun, clashed with Jiang Peng's Heaven-Shaking Axe is still clearly etched in everyone's mind.

That pure, unparalleled physical strength, that devastating energy surge, made these self-proclaimed geniuses experience for the first time the true meaning of "gap."

"Is this... the true strength of the Sun Moon Team...?"

Ma Xiaotao muttered to herself, her hands unconsciously clenching into fists.

Her Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul roared wildly within her body, an instinctive reaction when encountering a natural enemy. But this time, she felt not excitement, but a deep sense of powerlessness.

Dai Yueheng's condition is also not good.

His White Tiger Martial Soul was also restless, but after the restlessness came an even deeper sense of oppression.

The power Bao Liang displayed during his fight with Jiang Peng made him realize that even if he and Ma Xiaotao joined forces, they would still be no match for that boy.

"Ma Xiaotao, can we... really win...?" Dai Yueheng's voice was a little hoarse.

Ma Xiaotao did not answer, but slowly shook her head.

She didn't know what to say.

"Have you noticed that the Sun Moon Team hasn't actually made a move at all from beginning to end?"

Bei Bei's voice broke the silence; his face was pale, and his eyes held a hint of disbelief.

"Apart from Bao Liang, the others were just standing on the arena assembling Soul Tool."

"But those Soul Tool..."

He paused, his voice even drier:

"Six turrets, four level 5 and two level 6."

"Even if our Shrek's Soul Tool Department instructors were here, they couldn't assemble Soul Tool Turret of this level in such a short time... but they did it."

"And did you notice?" Bei Bei's gaze swept over everyone, "Their assembly speed was generally at least three seconds faster than He Caitou's!"

"Those three seconds can mean the difference between life and death on the battlefield."

Upon hearing He Caitou, He Caitou nodded with a wry smile.

"That's right, my level four Soul Tool Turret takes about fifteen seconds to assemble."

"But they seem to only need about ten seconds, and they're assembling a higher-level Soul Tool Turret..."

"This speed... it's beyond the realm of Soul Engineer, it's practically monstrous."

"The most terrifying one is Xiao Hongchen." Ling Luochеn's voice was icy, tinged with a hint of apprehension. "His Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul is the natural-born strongest controller of Soul Tool."

"Moreover, with him around, his Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul can amplify those Soul Tool, increasing the power of those cannons by at least 30%."

"Moreover, he is Soul Emperor."

"It's not just him," Wang Yan in a low voice. "Their captain, Ma Rulong, is also Soul Emperor, and there's also Ji Juechen. Although I don't know his exact strength, I'm sure he's at least a Soul Emperor."

"Right now, the Sun Moon Team has at least four Soul Emperor on the surface," Wang Yan's voice trembled slightly, "And we..."

He shook his head with a wry smile.

Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng are still recovering from their injuries, which greatly reduces their strength.

Although Ling Luochеn has recovered, he is only Soul King.

Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, and Jiang Nannan are all Soul Ancestor.

Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao are only at the Soul Grandmaster level.

On paper, they are not even in the same league.

"What's even more terrifying is that they still have a trump card up their sleeve," Bei Bei said in a deep voice. "That Ji Juechen only used one sword strike from beginning to end."

"Even Meng Hongchen didn't use his full strength, not even Bao Liang..."

He looked at Bao Liang, Bao Liang was gazing at the Soul Fighting Arena with a faint smile on his lips, the meaning of which was unreadable.

He probably still has many tricks up his sleeve.

The atmosphere in the rest area grew increasingly oppressive.

A whirlwind of thoughts and ideas surged through Wang Yan's mind.

Finally, his gaze fell on Jiang Nannan.

Xu Sanshi instantly noticed Wang Yan's gaze as he looked at Jiang Nannan and immediately understood what he was thinking.

Xu Sanshi has always been an optimist; no matter how great the difficulties, he can still smile.

But today, there wasn't a trace of a smile on his face.

He glanced at Jiang Nannan beside him, then at the Soul Fighting Arena, his brows furrowed.

"Nannan..." he whispered, "If we face the Sun Moon Team tomorrow, you..."

"I understand." Jiang Nannan nodded, her expression equally grave. "I... will do my best..."

Her Martial Soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit, an agility-based attack type, possessing two divine skills: Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body.

Among agility-based Soul Master, her speed is enough to rank her in the top three.

Even so, she wasn't confident she could survive the concentrated fire from the Sun Moon Team's turrets.

She had just witnessed the power of those Soul Tool Turret.

The simultaneous firing of all six cannons was enough to blast any Soul King- level expert into dust in an instant.

Even with her Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body, a Soul Ancestor like her couldn't withstand that kind of attack for long.

"No, that's too dangerous!" Xu Sanshi shook his head. "Besides, what I mean is, you just stay behind me and let me use the Black Tortoise Displacement to swap a few of their cannons over!"

"Nannan, you don't need to force yourself to challenge enemies you can't defeat!"

"It's no use, Sanshi," Bei Bei sighed. "Even if you can get three, the remaining three are enough to wipe us all out in an instant."

"Besides, you've all seen Bao Liang's strength. If he were to take the field, we wouldn't be able to stop him at all."

"What should we do then?" Xu Sanshi asked anxiously. "We can't really let Nannan go on such a dangerous mission, can we?"

"Otherwise what?" Ma Xiaotao said coldly, "Besides this method, do you have a better idea?"

Xu Sanshi opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Yes, besides sending Jiang Nannan, their only agility-based Soul Master, to disrupt the Sun Moon Team's turret assembly, what other options do they have?

Can Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng really withstand the artillery fire?

What's the difference between that and sending someone to their death?

"I..."

Jiang Nannan bit her lip, about to speak, but Wang Yan raised his hand to stop her.

"Let me think about it some more." Wang Yan rubbed his temples, his face full of exhaustion. "There must be a way, there must be..."

After ruling out all other options, the only remaining solution is to rely on Jiang Nannan to step in.

Jiang Nannan is not only an agility-based Soul Master, but also possesses two divine skills: Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body.

As long as she is deployed, and paired with Xu Sanshi, Black Tortoise capable of Black Tortoise Awakening, it will definitely be able to somewhat counterbalance the Sun Moon Team's turret tactics.

But the problem now is... after countering the Sun Moon Team's turret tactics, how will the two of them survive under Bao Liang, the final boss?

"Jiang Nannan, in tomorrow's match against the Sun and Sun Moon Team, do you have any way to delay their Fortress Tactic for a few seconds?"

"... If I try my best, if I put in a little effort, I should, probably, maybe... a second or two?"

"But the problem is... what if the Sun Moon Team doesn't use their turret tactics like they did today after I Teleportation there?" Jiang Nannan looked troubled. "What if they anticipate this and focus fire on me from the start?"

To allow a Soul Master with a four-ring agility-type Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul to charge into a group of five-ring and six-ring Soul Engineer who had mastered Fortress Tactic, and even to charge right up to the Great Demon King...

Just thinking about it made Jiang Nannan's scalp tingle, and her eyes turned to terror as she looked at Wang Yan.

I'm just here to compete, not to die!

Jiang Nannan: Will we win? It's a sure thing!
