Chapter 69: Losing in the Semifinals
The combination of Jiang Nannan and Gong Yangmo is not really a good one, but the current Shrek Academy does not have any combat power that can be shown off.
The other side sent out two level five soul masters in the first match, and the martial spirits of these two level five soul masters were not outstanding.
A soul master named Xiao Xiafeng, his martial soul is the steamed bun martial soul of the food system. He can use soul skills and charging soul guides to help teammates speed up the recovery of soul power while providing some other benefits to teammates.
It’s just that most food-type martial spirits have a longer duration, but their effects are much weaker than those of general auxiliary-type martial spirits of the same level.
This will be a great advantage on the battlefield, after all, the situation on the battlefield is complicated.
Both sides in the battle need time to test each other and engage in a tug-of-war, and this is when the advantages of food-type martial spirits will be reflected.
But in a ring match, the battlefield is only so large, and even if both sides want to fight and delay time, it won't take too long.
The soul guides used are mostly medium-range ray-type soul guides, supplemented by long-range soul guide cannons. The quality of the soul guides is not very high, they are all level five soul guides.
As for the other soul guide named Micah, he did not reveal his martial soul, but only equipped himself with a set of heavy bright blue soul guide armor.
At the same time, he was using a level five close-range attack soul guide device that matched this set of soul guide armor, and combined with other level five soul guide defense methods, the two of them stood on the ring like a solid wall of steel.
Although Jiang Nannan was agile, especially with the blessing of Gong Yangmo's Rainbow Dragon Martial Spirit, she could make the two opponents unable to keep up with her speed, but at the same time, Jiang Nannan's attack could not break through their defenses.
After a while, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, which had the assistance of charging soul guides and food-type martial spirits, was ultimately superior and quickly drained Jiang Nannan's soul power.
Although Gong Yang Mo, as an auxiliary soul master, still has soul power reserves, it is impossible for him to really take out his soul guide to fight the enemy directly, right?
After all, he had not learned much about the use of soul guides. It was okay for him to use some trigger-type defensive soul guides and amplifying soul guides, but if he wanted to attack with soul guide rays and soul guide cannons, he would probably not be able to hit the opponent even if he was ten meters in front of him.
After all, for a well-trained soul master, using martial soul is like controlling his own hands and feet, and this is even more so for a soul master with beast martial soul.
However, soul guides are different. After all, they are external objects. Soul masters with weapon spirits may have some advantages over them. Because soul masters with beast spirits are constantly under the influence of their spirits, their own movement habits and combat thinking will also be affected by their spirits.
Unless one is like the soul masters of the Sun-Moon Empire, who have been trained mainly in soul guides and supplemented by martial spirits since childhood, they can develop the combat habits and thinking of soul masters when they grow up.
The disadvantages of the combination of Jiang Nannan and Gong Yangmo were obvious at a glance. After seeing this, Xiao Xiafeng and Micah did not rush forward, but instead defended and waited for the attack.
If Jiang Nannan came forward, he would use the painless soul guide ray to intercept her, or use the close-range soul guide device to force her back. Micah did not leave Xiao Xiafeng too far, but always stayed by his side to protect him.
Xiao Xiafeng focused more of his energy on Gong Yang Mo at the back of the battlefield. Although he could not concentrate on attacking Gong Yang Mo because he had to be on guard against Jiang Nannan, the sporadic soul guide cannon shooting still caused considerable trouble to Gong Yang Mo, the auxiliary soul master.
Finally, when they had no chance left, Jiang Nannan and Gong Yang Mo could only signal to the referee Tiansha Douluo, with minor injuries, to admit defeat in this game.
Although he was mentally prepared, Wang Yan, who was in the rest area of Shrek Academy, clenched his fists tightly, hiding them in his sleeves. His slightly long nails even scratched the skin of his palms.
Only in this way could he force himself to calm down and issue orders.
After all, he is the current leader of the Shrek Academy team. If he falls into panic, then his chances of winning, which were already extremely slim, will probably disappear here.
"Xixi, Beibei, come on, don't feel any burden, just do your best." Wang Yan said to Beibei and Xixi who were in better condition.
Beibei nodded: "I understand, Teacher Wang."
Things have come to this point and they have no way out. No one can jump to conclusions until the last moment. Who knows, maybe a miracle will happen?
Tiansha Douluo looked at Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Xixi and Beibei, who all came on stage at the same time but had completely different auras and spirits, and shook his head secretly.
But he still said, "I will not elaborate on the rules of the game. Both sides should retreat to the edge of the competition stage."
As the two sides approached, they looked at each other, but for some reason, when Beibei looked at the brother and sister Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen in front of him, he always felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart, and he didn't know when it would fall.
As both parties returned to the edge of the ring, the competition officially began under the announcement of Tiansha Douluo.
With the martial spirit possessed, the fighting spirit of both sides rose. When the fight really started, Beibei seemed particularly relaxed for some reason.
Beibei couldn't help but think of what Xu Sanshi said before. Maybe that guy was right. Even if we lose, we must lose with the style of Shrek Academy. It can only be us who lose, not the academy.
Comforting himself in this way, he saw the golden thunder and the passionate dragon roar echoing on the field again, and Beibei once again stimulated the power of the golden holy dragon hidden in his blood.
As the golden thunder spread, all of Beibei's soul power was integrated into the surrounding golden lightning. He did not use any soul skills, but simply transformed his soul power into golden thunder.
Xixi, however, acted out of character at this time. She did not rush out directly relying on the speed of a quick attack soul master as she did in the past, nor did she hide behind Beibei. Instead, she stood side by side with Beibei.
Overlord Thunder Realm is actually a specialized form of Thunder Fury under the influence of the Golden Holy Dragon bloodline.
Maximize the enhancement of the thunder power that has been transformed by the blood of the Golden Holy Dragon.
However, at this time, Beibei did not use Thunder Rage to control the golden thunders that kept generating in the air and form them into the Overlord Thunder Domain.
Instead, she let them dissipate, but at this moment, the soul ring under Xixi's feet began to flicker.
Lightning flashed and entangled around her body, and at the same time pulled in the surrounding environment, and the golden thunder power derived from the bloodline of the Golden Holy Dragon was integrated into it.
The golden thunder power was unruly. While merging into Xixi's thunder and lightning, it was also hurting her.
However, with the help of soul power that was higher than Beibei's and the Golden Holy Dragon bloodline that had not yet been fully activated, the golden thunder power still retained the lightning characteristics. Xixi successfully transformed 80% of the golden thunder power into her own use.
It seemed slow but was actually fast. A golden lightning flashed across the arena a hundred meters apart and attacked Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. Beibei lost all his strength and passed out. When he fell, he was sent off the stage by Tiansha Douluo.
He forcibly awakened his bloodline power and overdrawn his soul power. Although he was not injured, he still needed to recuperate for a while.
On the other hand, Xixi had to endure the backlash brought by the golden thunder power. At this time, she had to fight quickly and decisively.
Because the golden thunder power was fighting against her every moment. Although she used the fourth and fifth soul skills to forcibly call upon its power, the consumption of soul power and physical strength was extremely great and could not last long.
Seeing Xixi rushing towards them and Beibei being sent off the stage by Tiansha Douluo, Xiao Hongchen's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment that was visible to the naked eye.
"Since he's gone, I'll let you have a taste of this!"
Seeing this scene, Tiansha Douluo secretly groaned in his heart. It was just a competition, not a life-and-death duel.
Why are the students from these two colleges fighting so hard? If there is a next time, I will never be the referee again. It is not just a sin, it is simply a sin.
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen looked at each other, and without any hesitation, they hugged each other.
At this moment everyone's eyes widened.
In the rest area of Shrek Academy, Wang Yan muttered to himself: "The martial soul fusion skill is actually a martial soul fusion skill. Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen are both so outstanding, but can they both possess a martial soul fusion skill? The martial soul fusion skill has never appeared in the Sun Moon Empire before."
Along with the fusion of golden and ice-blue soul power, a pillar of light shot up into the sky, submerging the bodies of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
Whether it is Xiao Hongchen's three-legged golden toad or Meng Hongchen's red-eyed ice toad, they can both be regarded as extremely high-quality martial spirits.
Moreover, both of them have the cultivation base of Soul King. How terrifying will the martial soul fusion technique be when they use all their strength when their bodies are intact and their soul power is perfect?
Although the power and effect of the martial soul fusion technique must be determined by the compatibility of the martial soul and the soul master.
But as siblings, who grew up and trained together, how could the martial soul compatibility of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen be low? Not to mention that their martial souls are different. If they cannot be compatible, it would be impossible for them to use martial soul fusion techniques.
Seeing this situation, even though Xixi knew what kind of danger was ahead, she did not choose to retreat.
Controlling the golden power of thunder, he resolutely attacked Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, and at this time Tiansha Douluo was also ready for the rescue.
The rising two-color light column condensed in the air and transformed into a giant three-legged toad that was five meters tall. Then, as the golden and ice-blue light faded, the red-gold luster rendered the giant toad's support incomparable splendor.
The toad's pitch-black eyes were like an abyss, attracting everyone's attention. It looked down at Xixi coldly. As the toad opened its huge mouth, a red-gold vortex swirled violently, emitting a faint light.
At this time, Xiao Hongchen's voice could not hide his pride: "Shrek Academy will let you see what a truly powerful martial soul fusion skill is, Hongchen's attachment!"
I saw a vortex of red-gold light swallowing and turning into a torrent, sweeping towards Xixi who was rushing towards it. Seeing this, feeling the terrifying and powerful soul power fluctuations around her, Xixi understood that she had already lost and there was no possibility of her winning.
At this time, Tiansha Douluo did not hesitate any longer. He acted quickly and grabbed Xixi off the stage.
The boiling red-gold light mixed with the clanging of metal, the rage of fire, and the coldness of ice; the air and the arena began to distort wherever it passed.
The violent forces conflicted with each other, but also blended with each other, like flowing lava, covering the entire competition arena. If Xixi was hit, she would definitely be dead at this moment.
Seeing this situation, Tiansha Douluo shook his head and felt helpless as he looked at Xixi who had fainted in his arms.
Just because she had just had a brief contact with Hongchen Zhulian, Xixi had already exhausted all of her body's protective soul power, even the golden thunder from the Golden Holy Dragon was no exception.
As a result, she fell into a coma, and as the gold poison, fire poison, and cold poison entered her body, Xixi's skin continued to change, turning into a sickly pale, blood red, and waxy yellow color.
At this time, the worldly attachment on the field had not yet stopped, and the violent force impacted the surrounding soul guide protective shield, even dyeing the originally colorless and transparent soul guide protective shield with a red gold color.
The 108 soul masters who were responsible for supplying soul power to the soul guide shield also showed signs of poisoning, varying degrees of severity.
The toxin contained in the attachment to the world can actually be transmitted through soul guides and soul power. Seeing this, Tiansha Douluo quickly took action to help suppress it.
The other national defenders of the Xing Luo Empire also quickly took action, which made Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen stop.
Looking at the brother and sister whose faces were full of pride, all the audience present felt upset. Shrek Academy had been defeated, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy advanced to the finals.
Can the members of Xingluo National Academy alone really stop the perverted Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen?
Could it be that the champion of this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition is actually going to change hands here, or even fall into the hands of the Sun-Moon Empire?
The atmosphere in Xingluo Square was unusually depressing, and the originally depressed atmosphere in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was swept away.
The sadness caused by the death of four team members in battle was also alleviated a lot, as they defeated the Shrek Academy fairly.
The Shrek who had dominated dozens of Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competitions.
Shrek, the huge mountain that always weighs down on their Sun-Moon Empire.
And the Shrek who killed their teammates!
Some members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team even shed tears, but they had smiles on their faces, because of the grief over the death of their teammates and the joy over defeating Shrek Academy.
Three rounds of competition, team battle, individual elimination, 223 system. If Shrek Academy were to say that the reason the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was able to win was because their strongest Ma Xiaotao was taken away.
Then the complete victory in the following 223 matches was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Shrek Academy. Failure is failure, and no matter how many explanations there are, they are all pale.
