On the second day of the team battle, the individual battle between Shrek Academy and Douluo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy officially began.
Although she was very unhappy about Ling Bai's blatant slacking off, Ma Xiaotao wanted to prove to Wang Yan that even if her six soul skills were completely exposed, she was still the unstoppable Evil Fire Phoenix.
This was indeed the case. The captain of the Douling Team, Gu Zhujian, was the first to appear on the stage, but was knocked off the stage by the level 68 Evil Fire Phoenix Soul Emperor in five minutes. The other Douling Soul Kings took turns fighting, but their endings were no different from that of Gu Zhujian, appearing vertically and leaving horizontally.
Under Ma Xiaotao's domineering momentum, Shrek Academy successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, and in the quarterfinals, they were extremely lucky to be drawn against their old rival Zhengtian Academy, which had qualified second in the same group in the round-robin tournament.
Seeing that the enemy was a complete version of Shrek, the teacher from Zhengtian Academy turned green in the face. The overall strength of the Zhengtian team was not as good as that of the Douling team, and they advanced to the quarterfinals only because their opponents were weaker.
Ma Xiaotao continued to give full play to her abilities in team battles. When the two teams were fighting individually, Ye Wuqing fulfilled the tough words he had said during the round-robin tournament and wanted to have a 1v1 battle with Ling Bai.
Ling Bai fulfilled his wish, and the result was...
"Bang! Bang! Ah! Mom!!!"
In just two and a half minutes, Ye Wuqing, who was foaming at the mouth, was carried off the court by Blood Wolf like a sack. Yu Mengdi jumped onto the stage and raised the white flag to admit defeat on behalf of Zhengtian College.
Shrek Academy advanced to the semi-finals. The other three teams were Xingluo National Academy, Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, and Di'ao Academy which had the background of the Tianhun royal family.
Half an hour before the start of the semi-finals, all four teams arrived. The sun shone on the vast Xingluo Square, casting a faint golden glow on the ground.
The Shrek Academy students, dressed in classic dark green competition uniforms, walked out of the contestant entrance, immediately causing thunderous cheers.
After a fair, just and open draw, the top four matchups were announced: Shrek Academy versus Xingluo National Academy, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy versus Di'ao Academy.
Xing Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei personally announced the two opposing teams to everyone. Most of the audience were locals from the Xing Luo Empire. When they heard that the Xing Luo seed team would challenge Shrek Academy, they instantly split into two factions. Most people blindly supported their own Xing Luo National Academy, while a small number of audiences admired the strength and hoped that Shrek Academy would maintain its glorious record of winning all the Soul Master Competitions in the past ten thousand years.
The defending champion Shrek took the lead in the battle. Wang Yan took out a notebook and called out the names of the soldiers and generals: "Ling Bai, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Beibei, Ning Tian, Huo Yuhao, the seven of you go on stage.
As mentioned in the meeting yesterday, the rules of the semi-finals and finals have changed. You need to win both team battles and individual elimination matches to advance. If each side wins one game, a 2-2-3 tiebreak will be played, so you must win the team battle.
This is the penultimate match of Shrek's Soul Master Competition. Ling Luochen's Ice Explosion Technique will be reserved for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy as much as possible. I will not impose any restrictions on the six of you. I only have one requirement: win!"
"Shrek, you will win!"
Ma Xiaotao's tone was firm, like a burning flame, leading everyone to the competition stage.
Wang Yan looked at them and couldn't help but smile with relief. He really didn't dare to hold Ma Xiaotao down. If Shrek Academy lost its thousand-year glory because of this, the elders of Poseidon Pavilion would probably chop him into a human pig.
He has now come to terms with things. After all, soul masters speak with their fists, and while it is true that Ma Xiaotao has an impatient and hot-tempered personality, she fights for Shrek wholeheartedly, so he just turns a blind eye and lets her do what she wants.
"Isn't that auctioneer Jiujiu?"
Dai Yueheng was sharp-eyed and noticed that a contestant who had never appeared before appeared on the opposite Xingluo National Academy. It was the auctioneer of the Starlight Festival, Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Xingluo Empire.
Xu Jiujiu was wearing a well-tailored bright yellow suit. He no longer had his usual noble and graceful appearance, but instead looked heroic. His long golden hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, and an elegant smile rose on his pretty face.
"It doesn't matter, we just need to defeat them."
Ma Xiaotao was full of fighting spirit, and her phoenix eyes were fixed on Xu Jiujiu who was surrounded by her teammates in the center.
Ling Bai suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, because Xu Jiujiu actually ignored Ma Xiaotao, who was the most popular person in Shrek recently, and stared at him straight. There was an obvious provocation in his eyes, as if he was hooking his index finger and shouting, "Come here!"
The semi-finals have not yet begun, but the strong smell of gunpowder has already spread as the eyes of the players on both sides exchange.
In order to ensure the safety of the players, Xu Jiawei specially invited Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu to serve as the referee for the semi-finals and finals.
Tiansha Douluo had a cold face and shouted stiffly that the game had begun before soaring into the sky and disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Buzz——"
A gorgeous golden crown fell on his head. Xu Jiujiu immediately released the Star Crown, the inherited martial spirit of the Xingluo royal family. The five soul rings of yellow, purple and black flashed, demonstrating his strength as a Soul King. The other six members were all Soul Kings. This was a balanced team of all Soul Kings.
The third purple soul ring of the Star Crown lit up, and a dazzling golden light column bloomed. The interior of the golden light column was misty, with stars swirling and rising in it, looking quite strange. Soon, every member of the Star Luo team was covered with a layer of gold, and starlight continued to pour out from the Star Crown for a long time.
The third soul skill of the Star Crown, the Star Shining Technique!
Shrek Academy launched a charge. Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao flew at a low altitude and headed straight for the core of Xingluo for a long time. Ma Xiaotao glanced at Ling Bai beside her in disbelief. This guy had been showing off for so many times, always secretly using long-range soul skills in the sky. This time he finally decided to take it seriously! ?
The roar of the dragon and the tiger shocked everyone. Dai Yuheng and Beibei followed after completing their martial spirit possession. The colorful light was injected into the bodies of the four powerful attacking soul masters at the right time. Ning Tian's seven treasures glazed tower's strength and speed attack increased the three major powers to help teammates take their combat effectiveness to a higher level.
Ling Luochen summoned the Ice Staff, and the tool man Huo Yuhao activated the ultimate transformation. The second martial soul, the Ice Scorpion, pushed the ice element to advance to the ultimate ice.
Then the fourth soul ring of the ice element lit up, and light blue ice mist sprinkled out from the front end of the ice staff, spreading to both sides at an alarming speed, forming a huge arc that faintly clamped towards the opponent.
The six-winged angel, the evil fire phoenix, the white tiger, and the blue lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Shrek's four top offensive spirits joined forces to attack, but Xing Luo only sent out three soul kings to fight.
The way of responding to the challenge was simple and strange. The Nether Mad Lion Soul King pounced on Ma Xiaotao, the Dark Demon Tiger Soul King intercepted Dai Yueheng, Beibei was entangled by the Lightning Falcon Soul King, and Ling Bai, who was the strongest in Shrek Academy, seemed to be ignored by the Xingluo team and allowed him to approach the vulnerable Xu Jiujiu.
Even more outrageous things are yet to come. As Ling Bai's figure becomes larger and larger in the field of vision and the edge of the Angel's Holy Sword is within reach, the Wind and Fire Dual Control Soul King and the Giant Winged Eagle Soul King beside Xu Jiujiu hurriedly dodged, as if sacrificing Princess Xu Jiujiu to the evil dragon Ling Bai.
However, Xu Jiujiu is definitely not a powerless princess. She and her teammates understand one thing very well. The six-winged angel is invincible in terms of individual combat power, and the dark magic tiger with dark attributes and the sky martial spirit giant winged eagle are both restrained by the six-winged angel. If they want to defeat Shrek, they must avoid fighting with Ling Bai, and give priority to dealing with his teammates before attacking him as a group!
"Shrek Academy, times have changed!"
Xu Jiujiu sneered, and threw out a layer of golden light shield with his jade hand. This light shield not only had a locking effect, but also had extremely strong defensive power. A slash of evil-repelling sword on it only caused ripples, and Ling Bai was suppressed inside it.
The inside of the light shield was radiant with light. There were 108 golden orbs spinning at high speed. The top orb was as big as a fist and flashed with extremely bright light.
In the Shrek rest area, the fourth-level soul guide and Cai Tou suddenly stood up and said in shock: "Absolute defense soul guide!?"
"What is that?" Wang Yan asked.
He Caitou smiled bitterly and said: "The Absolute Defense Soul Guidance Device is also called the Absolute Defense Soul Guidance Shield. It is a one-time consumable sealing type rechargeable seventh-level soul guidance device, worth millions of gold soul coins.
Once used, within a quarter of an hour, the person sealed by the Absolute Defense Shield will face Soul Douluo-level defense. The Absolute Defense Shield has the same internal and external defenses. If you want to destroy the core gem on the top of the body, you need at least the strength of a Soul Saint of Level 7 to have a chance of doing so.
This kind of soul guide can only be made by the Sun Moon Empire, and the core array is tightly sealed. Our Douluo Continent, which originally belonged to the Three Kingdoms, has no possibility of making it. I didn't expect it to appear in the competition."
"A quarter of an hour..."
Wang Yan clenched his fists. Losing Ling Bai was like breaking one of Shrek's strongest arms. The game was changing rapidly, and a quarter of an hour was enough to produce countless unexpected changes.
"A sealing seventh-level soul guide worth millions, which can also be charged to avoid consuming soul power..."
Xu Sanshi smacked his lips, feeling that this thing was no different from cheating.
Jiang Nannan said indignantly: "It is reasonable for Xingluo National Academy to do this. Will the Soul Master Competition in the future evolve into a competition of money and soul guides? Mingde Hall should find a way to create a rechargeable level 9 soul guide, and the opponent will not even dare to move."
"There's nothing we can do. The rules of the competition are only relatively fair..." Wang Yan sighed.
The tactics against Ling Bai did not stop there. As soon as the absolute defense soul guide shield took effect, the five soul rings on Xu Jiujiu's body flashed one after another. With her body as the center, a ball of strong starlight burst out, and the starlight was as bright as the sun and covered Ling Bai.
Seeing this, Xu Jiawei of the Xingluo Empire showed a satisfied smile on his face: "It has been a long time since the Star Guardian of the Star Crown lineage showed its power. I am afraid that the soul master world has long forgotten this attribute isolation soul skill.
Under the premise of being isolated from the Star Guardian attribute, facing a level 7 absolute defense soul guide, even the most powerful martial soul can only sigh in despair."
"Jiujiu's strategic deployment was very successful." The Queen said softly, "Star Crown is an attribute nemesis. The Ultimate Divine that the Seraphs are proud of has no effect at all. It is not unfair that Shrek Academy lost this team battle."
"yes."
Xu Jiawei put his arm around the queen's shoulders and nodded slightly, saying, "In terms of individual battles and 223, we are not as good as the proud children of Shrek Academy. The most likely person to advance is still Shrek, but I want to tell them one thing through this team battle. Times have changed. Blindly pursuing the strength of martial spirits is outdated. The combination of soul masters and soul guides is the right way."
"Your Majesty is wise."
On the competition stage, the Shrek Academy, with six against seven, fell into a disadvantage in an instant. Compared with the pure strengthening of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower, the Star Crown had an additional weakening and control. Under the golden starlight, the increase in the power of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower was greatly reduced.
The Fire Control Soul King absorbed Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Flame, and with the help of the Star Shining Technique, the Netherworld Mad Lion Soul King was able to fight the Phoenix Soul Emperor, whose soul power was far superior to his, on equal terms.
Not far away, the roar of a tiger shook the earth. Two tigers, one black and one white, fought each other. After all, Beibei was short of a soul ring, and was beaten to a pulp by the Lightning Falcon Soul King. He had no choice but to awaken the bloodline of the Holy Dragon of Light to fight against it.
The Wind Control Soul King cooperated with the Giant Winged Eagle Soul King to blow up a strong wind, gradually suppressing Ling Luochen's ice fog. Huo Yuhao's soul power was only in the twenties, and he could not maintain the extreme transformation for long, and his soul power was about to run out.
After watching the whole game for a long time, it was only a matter of time before Shrek was defeated. There was no doubt that this was a victory of money and tactics.
"Click, click, click—"
Just when she thought Xing Luo was stable, she heard a slight clicking sound. She looked in the direction of the sound and her pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip. The absolute defense soul shield, which was comparable to the defense of Soul Douluo, actually had a crack!
With a tooth-grinding clicking sound, the spider-web-like cracks slowly expanded. The next second, the absolute defense soul shield shattered, revealing Ling Bai's tall figure, and in his left hand there was a gorgeous ice-blue long sword.
The moment the ice-blue sword appeared, the temperature of the competition venue dropped sharply. The air seemed to be frozen into frost flowers. The bone-chilling extreme cold enveloped everyone's heart. The upper gums knocked against the lower gums frantically, and they began to shiver unconsciously.
The skill of the 700,000-year-old Snow Emperor soul bone, the Emperor Sword: Unparalleled in Ice!
"It's really hard…"
Ling Bai smiled helplessly, the Star Guardian and Absolute Defense Soul Guides were truly disgusting, conventional soul skills were truly unable to break through the seals of the two, the terrifying cutting power that came with the Emperor Sword of Ice Extreme was the simplest and most effective method.
The Emperor Sword Bing Ji Wushuang slashed down at Xu Jiujiu, who was still in a daze. Wherever it passed, the sunlight and starlight were completely separated, and then entangled on the sword as it passed through. Below the ice-blue sword body was the golden starlight, and above the magnificent sword blade was the blazing sun. In the world separated into upper and lower parts, Bing Ji Wushuang was the dividing line between the worlds.
Bing Ji Wushuang slashed down with his sword, drawing a golden and white curve in the air. Snowflakes fell silently on both sides of the sword blade. Xu Jiujiu saw the moment the sword fell. At this time, no one had time to protect her. She could only desperately condense all her soul power to build a starlight shield.
"boom--"
A flash of sword light flashed outside the starlight shield, and Xu Jiujiu felt his heart being hit by a huge force. The starlight shield shattered into countless pieces, and the gorgeous star crown on his forehead rang out a broken whine...
