Chapter 94 Shrek Academy VS Fighting Spirit Royal Academy
The following day, the round-robin tournament finally reached its final round, and the atmosphere at Xingluo Square reached its highest point since the start of the tournament.
The stands were packed with people, a deafening roar. Today's battle would determine the teams that would advance to the final four, just three steps away from the ultimate championship glory!
Shrek Academy's opponent is the traditionally strong Douling Royal Academy from the Douling Empire. Before the match, Zhou Yi had already gathered intelligence on their opponents through various channels.
"The most important people to watch out for in the Fighting Spirit Team are two." Zhou Yi displayed information on the Soul Guidance Screen in the rest room. "Captain, Gu Zhu Jian, a level 57 Power Attack-type Battle Soul King, with the Martial Soul Purple Radiance Bamboo. His attack power is extremely strong, and his explosive power is great. He is their absolute core."
"The other one is their vice-captain, Xiao Feng, a level 53 control-type battle spirit king. His martial spirit is very peculiar; it's an artifact called the 'Mysterious Pearl.' Its specific effects are unknown, but it's said to be extremely strange and difficult to defend against, capable of disrupting an opponent's mind and creating chaos. You must be extra careful if you encounter him."
She paused, then concluded, "However, overall, their strength and resources are roughly equal to, or even slightly inferior to, Zheng Tian Academy. As for us..." Her gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on a red-haired woman, "Xiao Tao's injuries have healed, and she can fight today."
Ma Xiaotao stood up, radiating a naturally hot aura. A confident smile played on her lips.
After being cooped up for so long, I can finally stretch my muscles.
Dai Yueheng's hand is ruined, and he probably won't be able to play until the end of the competition.
Currently, Shrek Academy only has Ma Xiaotao as a Soul Emperor, but she is a high-level Soul Emperor of level 67. This overwhelming strength has given her teammates tremendous confidence.
"Also, Youheng has recently acquired the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, which is a good opportunity to test its edge against that Lone Bamboo Sword." Zhou Yi looked at Dai Youheng. "Xiao Tao is our trump card; don't use her sixth soul skill unless absolutely necessary. Youheng, you'll be the main attacker, aiming to defeat the Lone Bamboo Sword head-on. Any questions?"
Dai Youheng toyed with the slightly shrunk, portable, dark longsword in his hand, and smiled slightly, "I couldn't ask for more."
The draw ceremony ended quickly, and the results were announced—seven against seven, team battle!
This result is a very favorable one for Shrek Academy. Team battles will best leverage Huo Yuhao's advantage of sharing his mental detection abilities, and will also allow Ma Xiaotao, the Soul Emperor, to exert her influence across the entire battlefield.
"Let's go, let's show them the true strength of Shrek Academy!" Ma Xiaotao took the lead, her red dress fluttering, and jumped onto the stage first.
The rest of the Shrek team strode confidently onto the arena. The team was complete, consisting of Soul Emperor Ma Xiaotao, Soul King Ling Luochen, Soul Master Dai Youheng, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and Huo Yuhao, who, although having the lowest soul power, played a crucial role.
This match did not rely on Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, nor did it require any assistance, so Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong became substitutes.
The atmosphere instantly became tense as both teams stepped onto the ring.
"The match begins!"
No sooner had the referee finished speaking than Xu Sanshi from Shrek Academy launched his attack! He had already locked onto the opposing captain, Gu Zhujian, and a flash of light appeared on his Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield as his fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up.
"Mysterious Netherworld Replacement!"
Space distorted, and Xu Sanshi's figure instantly switched places with Gu Zhujian, who was waiting in the distance!
"Great!" The Shrek team members were secretly delighted; the plan was proceeding smoothly!
The core tactic devised before the match was to swap the opponent's strongest Soul King captain, Gu Zhujian, into our own formation, focus fire to kill him instantly, and then outnumber him.
Despite being suddenly swapped into the Shrek Academy crowd, Gu Zhujian showed no sign of panic. Instead, a smile of triumph curled at the corner of his mouth.
"I knew you'd pull this trick, so I've been waiting for this moment. Fifth Soul Skill, Purple Bamboo Sea!"
He suddenly plunged the Purple Bamboo in his hand into the ground, and a surge of powerful soul energy poured into it!
In an instant, countless thick purple bamboos broke through the hard arena ground and grew wildly, forming a dense purple bamboo forest in the blink of an eye. Not only did it envelop all the Shrek students who rushed up, but it even enveloped him!
This bamboo forest seemed to have formed a unique domain, with incredibly tough bamboo branches whipping and entwining like living things, greatly restricting the Shrek group's movements and vision. The Purple Bamboo itself was extremely resilient, and even Bei Bei's lightning and Ling Luo Chen's ice spikes were unable to quickly and completely destroy it.
"Oh no, we've fallen into their trap! He was prepared!" Zhou Yi's expression changed on the stands.
Seeing this, Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth and activated the Xuanming Swap once again! This time, he swapped himself with Ma Xiaotao, who was trapped in the bamboo forest!
"Sister Tao, it's up to you! Deal with those outside!" Xu Sanshi's voice came the moment the swap was completed.
Just as Ma Xiaotao was moved to the front of the Douling Academy formation, her phoenix flames surged forth, ready to wreak havoc. However, Xiao Feng, the control-type Soul King who had always seemed inconspicuous, suddenly raised his head.
The mysterious bead in his hand emitted an eerie purple glow, and his fourth spirit ring shone brightly. "Fourth Spirit Skill, Purple Illusion Bewitching!"
An invisible and intangible spiritual fluctuation instantly enveloped Ma Xiaotao. Ma Xiaotao felt the scene before her suddenly distort and change, as if she had fallen into a purple maze with countless overlapping layers. Although her Soul Emperor spiritual power prevented her from being completely lost, she found it difficult to break free from the control of this strange illusion for a moment!
"Hurry!" Xiao Feng roared, clearly indicating that controlling Ma Xiaotao was not an easy task for him either.
Without hesitation, the remaining five members of the Douling Academy team immediately retrieved numerous complex metal components from their respective storage soul tools and began assembling them at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, the prototype of a gigantic soul-guided turret, with a ferocious muzzle and covered in intricate soul-guided patterns, had already appeared!
"What's that?" In the waiting area of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xiao Hongchen suddenly sat up straight, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "A level seven Super Soul Guidance Cannon? The Douling Empire, with its second-rate soul guidance technology, can actually replicate it?"
Meng Hongchen chimed in, her tone tinged with disdain, "The craftsmanship is crude, the components are bulky, and assembly is slow. Its power is probably less than half that of our original version. However, it's sufficient to deal with the current Shrek Academy."
o
She looked at the Shrek Academy members, who were troubled by the bamboo forest, and Ma Xiaotao, who was temporarily restrained. A huge crisis loomed over Shrek Academy. Once the Super Soul-Gathering Cannon was assembled and fired, the consequences would be unimaginable! One shot could wipe out everyone in Shrek Academy.
Just then, a strange change occurred in the Purple Bamboo Forest that had trapped Shrek's main force!
"Roar—!" A deep tiger's roar rang out, accompanied by a fierce slash of a blade!
A dark golden, domineering blade of light burst forth like lightning tearing through the night. The tough bamboo branches that had been coiling around it were easily cut and shredded like withered grass before that fierce blade!
