Chapter 135 The Passion and Bonds Between Men
The next day at the stadium.
"Please welcome both players to the stage."
At the entrance to the passage, Dai Yueheng and the other five exchanged glances.
"The match begins!"
The moment the host finished speaking, the six people stepped forward in unison—
Sidestep, raise arm, step forward, freeze! A "powerful entrance" carefully designed last night unfolded smoothly.
Not only that, but each of them also had a "Soul Power Cigar" specially made by He Caitou in their mouths, with wisps of smoke rising from it.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
In the Shrek Academy's waiting area, the teachers and the rest of the team members all had different expressions...
—What exactly is going on with this overwhelming aura, as if a group of criminal gangs have come out on the street?
The six people on stage were completely unaware of the effect they were creating, or rather, they didn't care at all.
Once the game started, they took their "showing off" to the extreme.
Chen Zifeng's Soul-Chasing Sword no longer pursues the fastest hit, but instead draws a dazzling arc before piercing the opponent; Yao Haoxuan roars before each giant hammer strike, maximizing his momentum; Dai Yueheng even adjusts the angle when his tiger claws tear through the air, making the light and shadow effects even more fierce; Gongyang Mo's auxiliary light seems to be accompanied by its own splendor when it falls...
They could have ended the fight much faster, but they chose to maneuver and fight with great skill, making each round a spectacular and exciting spectacle.
It was as if this wasn't the arena for the Soul Master Competition, but rather a magnificent stage they had meticulously choreographed.
When the six men finally stood still and their opponents fell to the ground, they once again struck that entrance pose—slightly out of breath, their temples damp with sweat, but their eyes shone brightly and their smiles were wide open.
A thunderous applause erupted in celebration.
At that moment, the silence that had been building between the teachers and the girls below the stage had long since turned into smiles and pride.
Shrek Academy has successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
In the subsequent matches, students from various colleges took to the field.
After witnessing the formidable strength of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which won by "washing" the ground purely with soul tools and hardly needed to use its martial soul or soul skills, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
The other colleges should not be underestimated either; their ability to fight their way to the top 16 is proof of their strength.
……
The air in the conference room was stagnant, the light was blocked by heavy curtains, and only the cold glow of the soul guide lamps shone on the battle map in the center of the long table.
The long table was filled with solemn-looking Shrek Academy team members, all eyes focused on Wang Yan, the teacher presiding over the meeting.
Wang Yan lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, his steady voice breaking the silence: "After the fierce battle of the second stage of the elimination rounds, the top four have been determined."
Tomorrow, our semi-final opponent is Star Luo Royal Academy.
He paused briefly, "They are the weakest of the four teams on paper, but they should not be underestimated—six Soul Kings and one Soul Master, their overall strength is not inferior to ours."
More importantly, this is the Star Luo Empire's home ground, and we must be on high alert.
Next, a detailed analysis of the enemy situation unfolded layer by layer.
Zi Ji spoke first, her analysis was concise and to the point: "The opponent has two offensive Soul Kings and one agile offensive Soul King."
The core is the Dark Demon Tiger Battle Soul King, which follows a fierce and unparalleled path. Its fighting style is similar to Dai Yueheng's, and its soul skills are biased towards power bursts and frontal attacks.
The Netherworld Lion War Soul King is well-rounded in both offense and defense, and possesses exceptional resilience.
As for the Lightning Falcon Battle Soul King, he is responsible for roaming and supporting the enemy with his extreme speed. However, "she looked at Xixi, "in terms of absolute speed, Xixi is still the best in this competition."
She paused briefly before continuing, "There are two control-type Soul Masters: one is a Fire Control Soul Master with a special ability to absorb and manipulate the flames of other Fire-type Soul Masters; the other is a Wind Control Soul Master who possesses a Soul Skill that can accelerate teammates as a group."
In addition, there is a defensive Soul Master whose core Soul Skill is 'Taunt,' which, once activated, can forcibly draw enemy fire. He usually stays close to Princess Xu Jiujiu, forming a fixed-point defense.
Then, Brigitte adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and continued, "The key point is the opponent's core support—Princess Xu Jiujiu."
A level 52 Soul King, whose martial soul is the Star Crown, known as the "strongest offensive support martial soul in the world".
She has already revealed three skills: First, Starlight Technique, which is a continuous burst of starlight across the entire field, indiscriminately weakening opponents, and even defensive barriers cannot completely block it.
Second, Star Blessing can buff up to four teammates' all attributes for 15 minutes and can stack with the Starry Night effect.
Third, Star Guardian, which is the most crucial one—forming a domain shield to completely isolate internal and external attributes.
Based on the comparison between her soul power and ours, this technique cannot be maintained for long, but during its duration, we will be at a significant disadvantage.
She added, "Furthermore, it has been confirmed that she possesses a spirit-attribute soul bone, and her spiritual power far surpasses that of others of the same level."
The analysis brought immense pressure. Immediately afterwards, He Caitou opened his notebook and added crucial information about the soul tools: "The enemy's core members are all equipped with level five soul tool shields and soul power recovery bottles."
But the most troublesome thing is the Nine-Transformation Soul Instrument. This soul tool can temporarily transfer and gather soul power, allowing a person to have the total soul power of a Soul Emperor in a short period of time.
This means that in the early stages of the battle, we might face a sudden burst of power from a pseudo-Soul Emperor.
With the enemy situation clear, the tactical discussion immediately turned into a fierce exchange.
Wang Yan frowned, clearly weighing his options rapidly: "There are currently two main tactical directions."
Firstly, they can withstand the attack head-on. Relying on the strong skills and teamwork of the main players, they can directly resist the duration of Star Guardian and then launch a full-scale counterattack once it ends.
Secondly, a swift and decisive attack. At the start, spare no expense to crush Princess Xu Jiujiu as quickly as possible, paralyzing her support system.
However, the difficulty of this plan lies in the fact that she is protected by the Soul Master's 'Taunt' and also by the Soul Guidance Shield.
Moreover, her spiritual power is extremely strong under the enhancement of her soul bone.
At this moment, Huo Yutong, who had been listening quietly, raised her head, a determined light flashing in her eyes: "Teacher Wang Yan, my mental attack can penetrate physical and energy shields."
Although my soul power level is lower than hers, I also possess a soul bone, allowing me to fight with all my might and at least cause significant disruption to her, disrupting her rhythm.
She clenched her fist slightly. "What's more, I have a second martial soul as a backup plan. As long as the senior students can seize the opportunity and break through the defenses, there is hope."
A brief silence fell over the meeting room. Then, more specific and detailed tactical simulations and role assignments gradually unfolded amidst the low murmurs of discussion.
