Chapter 57 Battle against Qianling Academy
After Huo Yuhao took a short rest, it was already early morning of the next day.

Today is the second game of Shrek Academy in the round-robin tournament of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition.

In the morning, after Wang Yan distributed the soul guides purchased at yesterday's auction to everyone, he arrived at Xingluo Square early with the reserve team.

The other four members of the starting team were still recuperating in the Xinghuang Hotel. The only one who was not injured, Ma Xiaotao, had disappeared early in the morning.

Fortunately, today's opponent had already been matched after the end of yesterday's round-robin schedule, so Wang Yan was able to discuss tactical plans with Beibei in advance before the game.

However, their opponent this time, the team from Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, has a Soul King-level fighter, which is not very friendly to Shrek, whose strongest member in the reserve team is only a Soul Sect.

After experiencing the same wave-like cheers from the audience as they had every time before, everyone from Shrek Academy stepped into the contestant channel.

On the competition stage, the referee announced loudly through the loudspeaker soul guide: "Both sides have entered the waiting area. Please invite the captains of both sides to come on stage to draw lots."

According to the previous draw method, the captains of both sides quickly decided the fighting mode of this game.

"In this competition, Shrek Academy will compete against the Battle Spirit Empire's Thousand Spirits Advanced Soul Master Academy. The competition format is a team battle!"

Upon hearing this, the cheers from the audience in the entire stadium became even louder.

After all, team battles are the most intense and entertaining form of competition in all events.

Then, under the command of the referee, players from both teams entered the venue from the passages on both sides of the stage.

Before this, everyone from Shrek Academy had also watched the competition of Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.

In the previous knockout rounds, although Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy did not participate in team battles, the opponent's team composition was very interesting.

Except for the captain who is a Soul King of the Strong Attack Type, their main team is actually composed of two Control Type Soul Masters and four Defensive Type Soul Masters.

There is no doubt that the opponent's captain is the core of this team, and the others only exist to protect and assist this powerful Soul King.

Before going on stage, Wang Yan told Bei Bei: "Be careful in the next match. The two control systems on the other side are a little special. One is ice and the other is fire. They use the martial soul mimicry fighting method."

"Although the combat power of the main body is far weaker than that of ordinary soul masters, the way of fighting has become more flexible and varied."

Hearing this, Beibei nodded. Before this, he had been with Wang Yan, staying in the viewing area for several days in a row to collect intelligence on these students who might be their opponents.

He also knew something about Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy. Apart from the three people with the highest cultivation level who were specially instructed by Wang Yan, the other four defense-type soul masters were also somewhat unusual.

These four people are all soul masters from the same family sect, and their martial soul is the Lingxi Shield inherited by the bloodline of their family sect.

Although the Lingxi Shield is not a top-notch and powerful defensive martial spirit, it wins in terms of numbers. When the martial spirits and spirit rings of several people are configured in the same way, the level of tacit understanding and strength of cooperation are very good.

Moreover, the soul skills and martial souls between each other can resonate. Although it cannot reach the level of martial souls, it can also achieve the tactical goal of being as firm as a mountain and unbreakable.

"This battle is going to be a tough one. Everyone please pay attention to my orders when you get on the field." Although Beibei still had a smile on his face as usual, it was obvious that he did not appear as relaxed as he appeared.

However, the good news is that Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy does not seem to be equipped with soul guides, or it is possible that they just concealed their abilities in previous competitions.

When both sides took to the field, the formation of Shrek Academy was still the same as in the knockout round, and the four people at the front of Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy were, as expected, the four Lingxi Shield Soul Masters.

These four people were tall and stood side by side in the front, like a human wall, blocking the captain of Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy and the two girls from the control department behind them.

"The game begins!" the referee shouted, and then both sides released their martial spirits. Then, everyone from Shrek Academy quickly sprinted towards the formation of seven people from Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.

For Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy and others, the core of their tactics is to defend and wait for the attack, and it is not shameful to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out when fighting against Shrek Academy. If Shrek Academy cannot defeat them, it will be Shrek Academy that will be embarrassed.

The four people at the front of Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy had their skin changed after being possessed by their martial spirits, and were covered with a layer of dark yellow earthy luster.

At the same time, their skin became rough and thick, and the muscles on their already strong and sturdy right arms were severely twisted and deformed, growing a keratin structure like a shield.

Interestingly, the predecessor of the Lingxi Shield was originally a rhinoceros-type martial soul, which belonged to the type of beast martial soul. However, the sect that inherited this martial soul seemed to have tended to favor defensive transformation-type soul skills in its soul ring configuration over the years.

As a result, in a certain generation of their sect, a large number of their martial souls mutated into weapon martial souls. After mutating into weapon martial souls, the Lingxi Shield was superior to the original rhino-type beast martial soul in terms of martial soul quality and defensive capabilities.

After allowing the soul masters with mutated martial souls to marry and reproduce, the Lingxi Shield replaced the original rhinoceros martial soul and became the inherited martial soul of this sect.

And this origin is quite similar to the Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield of the Xuanming Sect.

The shield formed by layers of keratin quickly enlarged when the first soul ring under the feet of the other four people lit up. Dark yellow light emerged from it and turned into a shield wall, blocking the area in front of it.

Although he was still sprinting, Xu Sanshi was not idle: "No, in this case, my Xuanming Replacement cannot select the captain of the opposing team. Plan A is not feasible. Beibei, let's go to Plan B. First hold them back and then look for an opportunity."

Bei Bei nodded, but the distance between him and Xu Sanshi seemed to be gradually increasing, and he was faintly encircling the right side of the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team.

Jiang Nannan did the same, moving away from Xu Sanshi and flanking the left side of the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team.

Xu Sanshi was the only one holding the midfield, while behind everyone, Ning Tian's Seven Treasures Glazed Tower was shining brightly since the beginning of the game.

She was rapidly granting the buff status to everyone except Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao was at the end of the team, just a little distance in front of Ning Tian.

He did not follow Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Bei Bei to approach the other party with all their strength.

After the four Lingxi Shield Soul Masters, Shen Ce, the captain of Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, also summoned his own martial soul, Thousand Strikes Spear.

The two ends were sharp and the whole body was silver, with faint inscriptions engraved on it. The Thousand Strikes Spear was suspended in front of Shen Ce, and did not shoot out directly, but was waiting for the opportunity, an opportunity to achieve success in one fell swoop.

Beside Shen Ce, the two girls, one red and one blue, whose martial souls were Frost Bear and Blazing Tiger respectively, transformed into beast-like mimicry.

I saw the Frost Bear rushing towards the four Lingxi Shield people standing side by side in front of it, and then releasing its own soul skills. I saw that the shield wall soul skills released by the Lingxi Shield of the four people in front of it were stained with a layer of ice crystals. The first soul skill was Ice Shield.

Although it is only a hundred-year soul skill, it can at least improve the defense capability of the shield wall by 30% as an auxiliary.

Next comes the second soul skill: Freeze.

The Frost Bear, which was mimicked by the martial spirit, stomped its feet, and a layer of ice crystals bypassed the four people with Lingxi Shield covered with ice shields, and covered the direction where Shrek and his group were rushing.

Suddenly, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan, who were running the fastest, felt a chill and cold air entering their bodies, and their speed inevitably slowed down a lot.

However, with Ning Tian assisting from behind, with the repeated release of control-releasing and acceleration soul skills, the control effects on the three people were quickly lifted.

However, apart from An Lengye, whose martial soul is the Frost Bear, there are more than one control-type soul masters in the opposing team.

The soul master girl named Fei Yuyan, whose martial soul was the Fiery Tiger, also activated her own soul skills.

The first, second and third soul rings flashed alternately, with skillful techniques, obviously the result of long-term training.

A pair of flaming wings grew on the back of the blazing tiger formed by the martial soul mimicry, and the color of the flames burning on its body began to change to bluish-white. Under the amplification of the second soul skill, blazing wings, the power of the fire element controlled by the blazing tiger suddenly skyrocketed.

A flame also spurted out from the mouth of the blazing tiger, surrounding Shen Ce who was holding the Thousand Strikes Spear. The fiery red halo covered Shen Ce with a layer of flaming coat.

With the enhancement of this soul skill called Ring of Flame, Shen Ce's martial soul temporarily possessed the ability to influence the fire element, and at the same time it also greatly increased the upper limit of the Thousand Strikes Spear's ability to withstand the fire element's energy.

The third soul skill followed immediately, and an illusory figure separated from the Blazing Tiger, formed by a bluish-white flame. As the light and shadow separated, the Blazing Tiger's body suddenly became much dimmer.

The light and shadow leaped directly towards the Thousand Strike Spears, and then merged into it. The Thousand Strike Spears were faintly entangled with the sound of a tiger's roar, and at the same time, it became even hotter.

With the help of the Ring of Fire, the Thousand Strikes Spear could barely withstand the added external energy.

But apart from Fei Yuyan's assistance, Shen Ce himself is also a powerful Soul King.

The soul ring on the Thousand Strikes Spear flickered, and with the activation of the third soul skill, the originally restless Thousand Strikes Spear suddenly stabilized and was covered by a layer of flames, suppressing the restless fire element.

With the triple amplification, Shen Ce's attack should not be underestimated, and Huo Yuhao could naturally see the offensive launched by the opponent through the Eye of Truth and spiritual detection.

However, the other Shrek people who were not shared in the spiritual detection did not know about it. The few people with the strongest cultivation could only sense that Shen Ce's aura was getting sharper behind the Lingxi Shield.

Beibei frowned, realizing that something was wrong.

Huo Yuhao used the Eye of Truth to record the entire tactical method used by the opponent. After all, it was a combination of different martial spirits and soul skills.

As long as he could study the rules behind it, Huo Yuhao's soul power circuit skills would be able to have several more transformations in actual combat.

Although Huo Yuhao’s own research speed is also very fast, the data that has already been researched by others can save his time, so why not take it?

"Go!" Shen Ce growled, no longer suppressing the Thousand-Strike Spear in his hand that was already uncontrollably strong.

Upon hearing this word, the formation of the four Lingxi Shield Soul Masters suddenly changed. The two shield walls in the middle moved sideways, revealing a small gap.

At this moment, Xu Sanshi, who was charging with his shield raised, felt something was wrong. He looked at the gap between the spiritual shields and saw a hot white light flashing from it. At the same time, a white cross-shaped mark appeared in the middle of Xu Sanshi's chest.

This is Shen Ce's fourth soul skill, which has the effects of locking and breaking through.

The cynical smile on Xu Sanshi's face froze, and the spirit rings under his feet flashed alternately and crazily. Although he was caught off guard, Xu Sanshi's qualities as a defensive spirit master were still quite good.

The power of Xuanming, the Xuanming shield formation, and the Xuanming shock.

Under the triple blessing, the deep black light and shadow on the Xuanming Turtle Shield radiated outwards layers of soul power vibrations like ripples.

At the same time, layers of tortoise shell phantoms that seemed real were superimposed on the Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield, making its size even larger.

As the Thousand Strikes Spears were shot out, layers of deep black soul power shocks and tortoise shell phantoms were shattered by it. This full-strength attack from Shen Ce in his prime was not so easy to deal with.

Not to mention that it was completely unprepared, as the defense of the structure was penetrated layer by layer, the Thousand Strikes Spear actually landed on the Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield.

Xu Sanshi was knocked directly ten meters away and fell to the ground. Although the Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield was not broken, some cracks appeared on the part hit by the Thousand Strike Spear.

However, Shen Ce's face changed slightly when he saw this. He didn't expect that his strongest attack, which was ready for attack, would be taken by a soul master whose soul power was one major realm lower than his.

Although it cannot be said that there was no damage, it was far from the strategic goal they wanted to achieve. Moreover, at this time, with the opening and closing of the Lingxi Shield Formation, flaws had already appeared.

"Not good!" A Lingxi shield soul master shouted and was about to gather the shield formation again, but it was too late.

After being knocked flying, before he had the time to get up from the ground, Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth, endured the injury and activated his fourth soul skill, Xuanming Replacement.

In just a moment, his figure disappeared from the ground, and was replaced by Shen Ce who appeared at the place where Xu Sanshi had fallen.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Ce's mind went blank, and the second soul ring under Huo Yuhao's feet had already lit up.

Bei Bei and Jiang Nan Nan, who had originally distanced themselves from Xu Sanshi, both activated their soul guides and immediately turned back to surround Shen Ce, who had temporarily lost his ability to move.
