If You Can't Turn It Aside, Don't Do It Alone

Elephant Armor didn't give Imperial Fighting Team much time to breathe. After Huyan Li tightened the formation again, the first round of advance came quickly.

This time, they no longer chased Li Man's outer perimeter points, nor did they blindly follow the Shi Brothers' deviations. The seven of them only recognized Huyan Li's direction, and even if it was a little slower, they would still regroup the entire formation.

Li Man's off-peak strategy is still in place, only the window of opportunity is shorter. Dong Jian stands at the center line, and the seven footsteps in Mountain Domain become heavy again.

"The one on the left arrived first."

He said that Shi Mo had already gone to meet it.

Bang!

The first member of the Elephant Armor collided with the Black Tortoise. Shi Mo took the hit. Dong Jian cut in from the side and rear, only managing to land a palm strike on the edge of the tortoise shell.

The opponent's momentum was absorbed by the Shi Mo, leaving Dong Jian with only the direction.

He turned his waist, took a step to the side, and the shoulder line of the Elephant Armor team member was slightly deflected.

Success. The second point followed closely behind, less than half a breath later than the first.

Dong Jian did not back down.

He continued to the right following the direction he had turned, cutting right in front of the second member of the Elephant Armor.

This round is more like Yin-Yang Force Redirection. The previous movement hasn't completely stopped. The body is turning and the momentum in the feet is still there.

Taking advantage of this momentum, he launched a second attack. A shoulder bump, a waist thrust.

The second person also stepped aside. A gasp of surprise erupted from the audience. Two heavily defensive Soul Master had their directions altered by Dong Jian in succession.

It looked smooth. Even Yu Feng couldn't help but pat the railing.

It's done.

Qin Ming remained silent, as did Li Man, because the third person had already arrived.

Dong Jian had just completed his second Momentum Shift, his right foot still on the outside.

The twisting sensation in the waist caused by the first impact has mostly subsided, but the second impact is still lingering in the hips.

The third player from the Elephant Armor team rushed in from the center line. The time difference was too short, Dong Jian instinctively wanted to receive the pass.

The Black Stance sank. Just as the shoulder was about to yield, the waist and hips simultaneously moved in two directions. The first force propelled the body to the right.

New pressures forced him to back down. The two trends collided. Dong Jian's expression changed.

This trouble stems from a conflict of directions. Two trends collided at the waist and hips.

If he continues to spin, before the second impact leaves his body, the third impact will press into his lower back.

Continuing like this would only cause the load to pile up. Dong Jian immediately broke free, forcefully steadying himself with his right foot.

The shoulder that was originally about to be Circular Rotation was immediately pulled back.

Bang!

The third Elephant Armor player collided head-on with Dong Jian. He was pushed back two steps, feeling as if he had been hit in the lower back with a blunt hammer.

The Divine Dragon Secret Realm lights up simultaneously.

"Continuous load-bearing risks have increased."

"The second load segment has not been fully released."

"The third segment connection will cause waist and hip conflict."

Recommendation: Halt the continuous Momentum Shift.

Dong Jian had already stopped. Any later, and he suspected he would really have to be carried back by Ye Lingling today.

Dong Jian.

Li Man's voice came from behind.

"It's not broken."

He pressed his lower back. "You can still move."

I didn't ask about your back.

Dong Jian turned around. Li Man looked at him.

"You want to move the whole wall by yourself again?"

In short, Dong Jian remained silent.

Yu Tianheng had just forced back a member of the Elephant Armor from the other side when he heard this and looked over.

She's right.

Dong Jian was helpless.

"Couldn't you have joined the line a little later?"

"I'm the captain."

Yu Tianheng said, "We'll stand where we're supposed to."

Huyan Li had already moved forward again, giving them no chance to continue arguing.

Dong Jian stretched his waist and hips. It hurt. But the problem was already clear.

The success in Chapter 146 was achieved by splitting the seven people into individual targets.

He had already turned the wheel twice in a row, so he wanted to catch the third one as well.

I've fallen back into my old habit. Seeing something that can be handled, I feel I should handle it myself.

Dong Jian looked up.

"Change."

Shi Mo asked, "How do I change it?"

"You accept first."

He pointed to the left side of the center line.

"I'll only change the role."

It then points to the Shi Mo.

Here's the second paragraph.

The Shi Mo was immediately understood.

"OK."

Li Man's three array points shifted simultaneously.

I continued to avoid those behind me.

Dugu Yan also raised her hand.

"Then I'll seal off the location again."

Yu Tianheng spoke last.

"The breakthrough is mine."

No one offered any further explanation. Huyan Li, leading his entire line of Elephant Armor, charged forward. (First paragraph)

Shi Mo met it head-on. The Black Tortoise clashed head-on with the Diamond Mammoth.

Bang!

Shi Mo's body suddenly sank, his feet sliding half a foot backward. He didn't try to win; he simply absorbed the hardest initial blow.

"Come!"

Dong Jian leaned in sideways. This time, he didn't draw all his strength into his body; his palm landed on the side edge of the Shi Mo tortoise shell.

The Shi Mo has already borne the weight. Dong Jian only needs to handle the part that can be changed in direction. He needs to rotate his waist and hips.

The Black Tortoise tilted slightly with his push. The opposing Elephant Armor members' advance also veered off course.

Half a step. That's enough. Shi Mo immediately released its grip.

The relentless pressure continued forward, but Dong Jian wasn't ahead. The Shi Mo had already reached its limit.

The second Black Tortoise lies horizontally in the new direction.

Boom!

The Shi Mo groaned as it was struck, but he caught it.

The same force, initially carried by the Shi Mo, was redirected by Dong Jian, and finally carried over by the Shi Mo.

Dong Jian only had to bear the small portion of the change in the middle. The pressure on his lower back was instantly reduced.

"Again."

Shi Mo gritted his teeth. The second member of the Elephant Armor had already caught up. Li Man's formation lit up at this moment.

It wasn't a blockage. A new path appeared under the Shi Mo's feet, leading diagonally backward. He used the force of the tortoise shell being pushed aside to retreat.

The opponent naturally followed suit. But this retreat was exactly half a step ahead of Huyan Li in the middle. The misalignment occurred again.

Dugu Yan's poisonous mist came from the side.

Just as the Elephant Armor team member was about to straighten up, he discovered that the spot where his right foot should have been placed was sealed off by the blue poisonous gas.

He could forcefully step on it, but there's no need. His foot can only move to the left.

This leftward movement collided with the shoulder of another teammate who was pressing forward. The entire advance stalled again.

"Now."

Yu Tianheng determined the location of the window himself. His Thunder Dragon Body was fully activated. He didn't go looking for Huyan Li.

The target was still the previously injured member of the Elephant Armor. The first punch forced open the arm guard. The second punch landed on the chest and shoulder joint.

The opponent roared, trying to regain his footing, but no one was there to immediately cover him. Dong Jian attacked from the side. He didn't deliver a heavy blow.

Just as the opponent raised their foot, I lightly nudged their side with my shoulder. This amount of force would hardly be considered an attack under normal circumstances.

But the elephant Elephant Armor team member was in the instant of shifting his weight, and his foot slipped. Yu Tianheng's third punch landed.

Boom!

The men were finally driven off the front lines. Huyan Li's face darkened.

"Repair!"

The teammate next to him immediately moved over. Shi Mo had already rushed across the tortoise shell.

He took a heavy hit to the shoulder, swayed a bit, but still held firm to his position.

Ye Lingling's treatment ended. Shi Mo had blood at the corner of his mouth, but he only wiped it away.

"Hurry up."

Yu Tianheng didn't waste this opportunity and continued to press.

For the Elephant Armor lost a complete support point, and its originally strongest overall propulsion began to experience a chain reaction of problems.

Huyan Li wanted to push the center line back. Shi Mo took the initiative to meet him. He knew he couldn't hold off Huyan Li for long.

Therefore, only the first step is addressed.

Bang!

First, hold the line. Before the second step, Dong Jian moved to the side, shifting Huyan Li's shoulder line outward. For the third position, Li Man had already made room in advance.

To regain his footing, Huyan Li had to take an extra step. It was this one step that allowed Dugu Yan's poisonous mist to block the smoothest following line of his two teammates behind him.

The formation broke again. Dong Jian finally didn't move forward to pick up a second person. He retreated.

The next point is handed over to Shi Mo. Shi Mo takes over the first segment, Dong Jian changes the role again, and Shi Mo continues to carry on the follow-up.

One after another, their movements were far from graceful; in fact, they were quite clumsy. With each round, the Shi Brothers would inflict another injury on their arms, shoulders, and back.

Dong Jian's lower back pain hadn't subsided. Li Man was simultaneously maintaining several retreat routes of varying lengths, and sweat was already beading on her forehead.

Dugu Yan's poisonous mist was repeatedly dispersed by the Elephant Armor's Soul Power, only to be suppressed again and again.

But the wall that Xiangjia Elephant Armor still could never be restored to its original state where all seven of them had arrived together. Yu Tianheng waited and waited.

When Huyan Li was covering the center line, he finally managed to create a full body distance from the player on the left.

"Ignore the right side."

This was his decision. Dong Jian immediately shifted Mountain Domain's attention to the middle lane. Li Man also removed one of the array points on the right and focused her mental energy on the front.

Yu Tianheng charged forward. His Thunder Dragon Body pushed his speed and explosiveness to their peak. Huyan Li met him head-on.

This was the first time the two truly clashed at full power.

Boom!

Lightning exploded. Huyan Li didn't fall, but Yu Tianheng was also knocked back.

But there was no one behind Huyan Li. At this moment, he was just a very tough Soul Ancestor. The entire row of weights behind him did not keep up.

Dong Jian approached from behind Yu Tianheng. He didn't Huyan Li Hu Yanli; instead, he touched Yu Tianheng's shoulder and arm, which had just been jolted back by the impact.

The lingering effects of the previous charge were still visible in their bodies.

Using the existing momentum, Dong Jian gently steered Yu Tianheng's retreating direction to the side and forward.

"Left."

Yu Tianheng immediately shifted his stance. His retreat hadn't completely stopped; his next forward charge had already begun.

The Thunderclap struck Huyan Li's shoulder a second time. Huyan Li was finally forced to take a step to the side. At the same time, the Shi Mo pressed down on the tortoise shell.

Dugu Yan's poisonous mist blocked his straight path back to his original position. Huyan Li could only continue to move sideways. The remaining members of the Elephant Armor wanted to reinforce him.

Shi Mo, despite his injuries, held off the first one. Li Man changed tactics, causing the arrival times of the two following individuals to be staggered.

Yu Tianheng unleashed his third attack. This time, Huyan Li finally retreated to the flank and rear of his own team. The center line of the Elephant Armor was completely opened up.

The match didn't end immediately. The Elephant Armor remained tough; it was difficult to quickly knock down any of them individually.

But the most terrifying overall advancement is gone. The Imperial Fighting Team is no longer about who is heavier. The Shi Brothers take turns bearing the burden.

Dong Jian only changed direction. Li Man only focused on the arrival order. Dugu Yan sealed the way back to her position.

Yu Tianheng repeatedly targeted isolated points. After another fifteen minutes, the second Elephant Armor member was forced out of the playing area.

The third person lost the ability to continue fighting. Huyan Li wanted to regroup, but the number of people and the positions no longer allowed it.

Finally, the coach leading the Elephant Armor team raised his hand in surrender. The referee's voice fell.

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy wins!"

No one cheered immediately on Imperial Fighting Team's side. Shi Mo sat down on the ground and first looked at his trembling hands.

"Next time, could you let Yu Feng lead this kind of team?"

Yu Feng immediately shouted from the rest area.

"Should I go up and let them breathe in the fresh air?"

Shi Mo chuckled, but then aggravated his shoulder injury, and his face darkened again. Ye Lingling had already come over to treat him. Dong Jian relaxed, the soreness and numbness in his lower back immediately became more pronounced.

Li Man stood to the side and glanced at him.

"Can you still walk?"

"Able."

"Then walk back yourself."

Dong Jian looked at her.

"Can't you say something nice?"

"Can."

Li Man nodded, "You did well today at not breaking your back."

Dong Jian fell silent.

Yu Tianheng leaned back in his chair; the lightning on his right arm had dissipated, but his muscles were still slightly stiff.

They won this match, but at a cost: Shi Brothers are injured.

Dong Jian's back and waist were under excessive strain. Yu Tianheng's Soul Power consumption exceeded that of any of the previous rounds. On the other side of the stands.

Huo Wu didn't look at the scoreboard. She first watched the Shi Brothers being treated by Ye Lingling, and then watched Dong Jian massage her back again.

Finally, her gaze fell on Li Man. Their eyes met briefly across half the arena. Huo Wu raised her hand and made a small, scorching motion.

Li Man understood. The next round's matchups were already posted. Imperial Fighting Team.

Blazing Fire.
