Would Things Really Go That Smoothly?
When Wang Yan heard that Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire had malfunctioned again and that Xu Xingyu now needed to treat her, he exploded on the spot, causing Xu Xingyu to be unable to participate in the upcoming competition. He was understandably furious.
The loss of Ma Xiaotao, Soul Emperor- level fighter, in individual battles is already a major headache, but now, in order to heal her, even Xu Xingyu, the so-called ace, might not be able to participate!
This made Wang Yan briefly consider abandoning Ma Xiaotao to ensure Shrek's victory, but he quickly dismissed the thought.
Putting aside the fact that Ma Xiaotao, as the disciple of the Dean of the Martial Soul Department, holds a much higher and more prestigious position than him, a mere student from the Outer Court, a truly excellent teacher should never have such thoughts of sacrificing students. Such a person is unworthy of the title of teacher!
Therefore, he could only ask Xu Xingyu to heal Ma Xiaotao as soon as possible with a heavy heart, and also told her to come back to participate in the competition as soon as possible if she finished early.
During this time Shrek will try their best to overcome the difficulties on their own.
Xu Xingyu agreed to Wang Yan and quickly began treating Ma Xiaotao, as he didn't want to miss the finals.
It was around this time that the arena had been almost completely repaired by the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, and the second individual battle began.
This time, Shrek sent Bei Bei to the arena, and his opponent was a Soul King named Li Yan from the Sun Moon Royal Academy, whose Martial Soul was Li Fire.
The so-called "Li Fire" is a fire element martial Martial Soul, but it is called "Li Fire" because its flames contain a large amount of impurities.
This kind of Martial Soul has no future if it follows the path of Soul Master, which is why this person chose the path of Soul Engineer.
In fact, his choice to become Soul Engineer was not wrong. As a Soul Engineer, Li Yan was able to use his own Li Fire to imbue his Soul Tool with the aura of fire through various Soul Skill.
Of course, compared to Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Flame, his fire was worlds apart. But someone who could become Level 5 Soul Engineer before the age of twenty was no ordinary being.
The only drawback is that it cannot sustain prolonged combat using the Soul Power provided by its own Martial Soul.
This was fully demonstrated in the battle against Bei Bei.
At the start of the match, Li Yan launched an attack on Bei Bei with one hand and one cannon. Because each shot was imbued with the power of Li Fire, the attack he caused exceeded the power that an ordinary level 5 Soul Tool should have.
In response, Bei Bei could only rely on the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track the Tang Sect Secret Arts to evade, having no chance to get close to her opponent.
Fortunately, the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track itself didn't consume much of Bei Bei's energy, so he decided to use a kiting-like approach, trying to deplete the opponent's Soul Power before delivering a fatal blow.
Li Yan, who had been maintaining his offensive, realized that he was starting to run out of breath, so in order to hit Bei Bei, he tried to use a wide-range attack.
This choice is normally correct, but such a wide-range attack requires concentrated force, so without maintaining a certain distance and ensuring that the opponent has no means of ranged attack, you will end up becoming a target.
Although Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul doesn't currently have long-range attack methods, don't forget that he is a disciple of the Tang Sect!
As a disciple of the Tang Sect, Bei Bei was a master of Hidden Weapon. The moment he saw his opponent begin to gather his strength, he attacked Li Yan using the Hidden Weapon techniques from the Tang Sect's Hundred Solutions of Hidden Weapon to Li Yan.
At first, Li Yan could use his Invincible Barrier to defend himself, but the moment the Invincible Barrier disappeared, Bei Bei gave him a special Tang Sect -made Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Orb.
Li Yan could only divert his attention to use his free hand to fire cannonballs and shoot down the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Orb.
To his surprise, the instant the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Orb exploded, a purple smoke began to spread everywhere.
Soon, Li Yan felt his movements becoming sluggish and his body becoming somewhat weak.
It was at this moment that Li Yan realized the purple smoke was highly poisonous!
However, by the time he realized this, it was already too late. The poison had already spread to most of Li Yan's body. Soon, the Soul Power in the Soul Cannon in his hand began to dissipate, and Li Yan ultimately could not withstand the Tang Sect's special poison, finally collapsing to the ground.
Heavenly Fiend Douluo immediately declared that the outcome of the match belonged to the Shrek Team, and then handed Li Yan over to the healing-type Soul Master who was specifically responsible for treating the players.
With their help, they quickly discovered that Li Yan was poisoned. The Sun Moon Team immediately asked Bei Bei for the antidote and promised that Li Yan would not appear in the 223 match.
After receiving assurances from the Sun Moon Team Bei Bei tossed the antidote to Sun Moon Team with a smile. For some reason, everyone present felt that this guy was a bit annoying after seeing that smile.
This was especially true for the Sun Moon Team, but since they still needed to rely on others for the antidote, they could only suppress their dissatisfaction, carefully accept the bottle of antidote, and then give it to Li Yan.
Li Yan's pale complexion quickly improved, and his instructor, Elder Ma, also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the team members who could participate in the competition were all the pride of their Mingde Hall, and they would be heartbroken if even one of them went missing.
After the poison is cured, the third match of the individual competition is about to begin. Shrek will continue to send Bei Bei to the field, while the Sun Moon Team will send a student named Chen An.
This student named Chen An possesses the Lightning Sparrow Martial Soul and is pursuing the path of an agile, close-combat type Soul Engineer.
So, at the very start of the match, it launched a fierce attack on Bei Bei using its Lightning Sparrow -fast speed.
This time, Bei Bei couldn't rely on Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to fight a protracted battle like he did in the last competition. Moreover, his cultivation level was only at the Soul Ancestor level, and his Soul Power was inherently inferior to Chen An, who was Soul King.
The last time that tactic was used was because Li Yan's fighting style was too wasteful of Soul Power, so Bei Bei had no choice but to release the power of his Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline and his innate skill Tyrant Emperor Lightning Domain, to defeat Chen An.
However, Bei Bei's Soul Power was almost exhausted, so when the fourth match started, he had no choice but to concede defeat and let the next Shrek member take his place.
Following Bei Bei is Ling Luochen, and her opponent this time is a person named Mi Jia.
Ling Luochen directly displayed his combat power as the Soul King of the Shrek Academy against this person, unleashing a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill, Ice Radiance Ring instantly turned Mi Jia into an ice wither.
Based on the current situation, since a draw will not award points to either side, Shrek Academy currently has three points in the individual battles, while Sun Moon Royal Academy has one point.
If team battle points are included, the score is now eight to one, with the situation completely tilting in Shrek's favor.
This completely put Wang Yan's mind at ease, since even if Xu Xingyu didn't return, the ultimate victor would still be Shrek.
