LRAB Chapter 125 A Triumphant Start
Chapter 125 A Triumphant Start
"In any case... this Shrek Academy, especially this mysterious sect..." The intelligence teacher took out a new notebook, his pen slamming heavily on the title page, "must be reassessed and thoroughly investigated."
Next up was Situ Yu, the captain of the Yunluo Academy team. He was also the third member of the Yunluo Academy team to take the stage.
"Yunluo Academy, Situ Yu."
Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, Tang Ya.
"start!"
As soon as Situ Yu entered the arena, he unleashed his signature fortress tactics. It was also a defensive counterattack strategy, but his soul tool construction speed, barrier strength, and firepower configuration were clearly a level above the first team member.
A metal fortress, consisting of a soul-guided barrier and cannon muzzles, rose from the ground in the blink of an eye.
Tang Ya moved with agility, using the Ghostly Shadow Step to its fullest extent, weaving and dodging through the dense soul-guided rays, like an elusive green shadow.
She unleashed a barrage of hidden weapons—willow-leaf daggers, darts, bone-piercing nails—which clanged and clattered against the thick soul-guiding barrier, sending sparks flying, yet none could shake its foundation.
"No, we can't break through." Tang Ya knew perfectly well. She stopped trying to break through the defense and instead changed her tactics to exhaustion.
The Blue Silver Grass moved like a serpent, constantly interfering with Situ Yu's cannon aiming, while the hidden weapons targeted the weak points of the barrier's energy nodes.
For a moment, the field was filled with the interplay of light and shadow, and the clang of metal.
However, while the fortress strategy consumes a great deal of soul power, the soul masters within it receive maximum protection.
Tang Ya's soul power was rapidly depleting due to high-speed movement and continuous attacks.
Finally, she sighed softly, floated back, and said loudly, "I concede."
"Xiaoya, you did a great job. You've exhausted him to the maximum extent." As soon as she returned to the rest area, Beibei greeted her with gentle praise.
Tang Ya's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.
The teachers and students around couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Let me go next." He Caitou stood up, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. "I want to have a duel between Soul Masters with him."
"Okay!" Teacher Wang Yan nodded in agreement.
"The match begins!"
"Yunluo Academy, Situ Yu."
"Shrek Academy, Spirit Pagoda, and Cai Tou."
The duel between the two Soul Masters reached a fever pitch from the very beginning.
Situ Yu's fortress stood firm, its cannons roaring; He Caitou, on the other hand, was unpretentious, carrying various soul-guided cannons on his shoulders and in his hands, retaliating with ferocious firepower.
In an instant, the arena was illuminated by countless dazzling soul-guided beams of light, and the booming of explosions continued incessantly.
Situ Yu's fortress was as solid as a rock, its firepower covering the entire field; He Caitou, on the other hand, was like a mobile artillery platform, his figure moving swiftly between the artillery fire. Each time he paused, several more penetrating beams of light were precisely shot towards the junction of the fortress.
The audience was dazzled by the display of soul tools and the strategic maneuvering, which was showcased to the fullest extent.
Situ Yu excels in solidity and consistency, while He Caitou is strong in precision and explosiveness.
Finally, a long-charged super-energy soul guide ray pierced through a barrier node on the side of the fortress that had just been hit repeatedly.
The fortress structure became chaotic, and Situ Yu groaned as his soul power sluggishly circulated, forcing him to raise his hand and admit defeat.
"Brilliant!" Ma Rulong couldn't help but slam his hand on the table and stand up, his eyes filled with admiration and regret. "I really want to get to know this brother!"
Such an outstanding Soul Master, with a unique understanding and application of Soul Tools—how wonderful it would be if he were born in my Sun Moon Empire!
In the next match, due to the huge consumption of soul power and the limited recovery time, He Caitou chose the most practical tactic when facing the fourth member of Yunluo Academy.
He reappeared, using his remaining soul power to drive his soul tool, and waged an efficient and ruthless war of attrition. After further weakening his opponent's physical strength and soul power, he decisively conceded defeat and left the stage.
"Next match, I'll take it." Wu Feng's crimson eyes shone with fighting spirit. "My attributes have an advantage over my opponent's."
Although her soul power level was lower than her opponent's, her martial soul had a natural advantage over the opponent's martial soul.
"Okay," Wang said.
With the one-on-one elimination rounds concluded, Huo Yutong's martial soul characteristics were unsuitable for one-on-one combat, and Ning Tian, being a pure support type, was also unable to participate. The final two spots were naturally taken over by the regular team members.
Wu Feng swept into the arena like a blazing whirlwind of fire.
Although the opponent was a Soul Master, after the fierce battle with He Caitou, only 60-70% of his soul power remained.
Wu Feng unleashed the fire dragon's ferocity and speed to the extreme, crimson dragon flames coiling around his arms, each strike carrying scorching heat.
For a moment, flames blazed across the arena. Although Wu Feng's soul power was inferior, he relied on his fire attribute and fierce fighting style to fight his opponent to a standstill.
The opponent was ultimately more experienced and possessed greater spiritual power. He seized upon a subtle opening after Wu Feng's powerful attack, trading injury for momentum and narrowly winning the battle.
"It's my turn," Xiao Xiao said softly, steadily walking onto the arena.
Her opponent had fought two consecutive battles and was already exhausted of his soul power; a three-minute rest was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
Xiao Xiao made no unnecessary movements; the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron grew longer in the wind and crashed straight into the enemy with a heavy whistling sound.
The opponent struggled to gather his soul power to resist, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; he was directly blasted away by the immense force and fell off the stage.
The fifth member of Yunluo Academy has entered the arena. Xiao Xiao remains calm and composed, showcasing the full potential of a control-type Soul Master.
She did not pursue a quick victory, but instead relied on the powerful defense and control capabilities of the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to constantly force her opponent to unleash soul skills, gradually eroding their soul power.
The cauldron flips and maneuvers, always managing to block fatal attacks at the most crucial moments.
After a long and drawn-out battle, Xiao Xiao finally withdrew her soul power and calmly conceded defeat.
Her mission was accomplished—she had depleted another key player from the opposing team to the greatest extent possible.
"Next, it's time for the starting players to take the field." Teacher Wang Yan looked at the girl beside him, "Xixi, it's up to you."
"Xixi, your explosive power is extremely strong. In terms of speed alone, I haven't seen anyone in the competition surpass you yet," Ziji said. "Let's finish this quickly."
"Hmm." Xixi responded briefly, and with a flash, she landed in the center of the arena like an invisible gust of wind.
Her opponents are on high alert.
"The match begins!"
Before the referee finished speaking, a faint, blurry shadow seemed to flash across the arena.
Before the audience could even see what happened, they heard a dull thud as the Soul Master, armor and all, was blasted off the ground by an irresistible force, flying out of the arena and crashing heavily to the ground.
The entire stadium fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a thunderous roar of cheers!
The sixth member of Yunluo Academy entered the arena, an agile Soul Master specializing in speed and attack.
"start!"
The figure flashed again. The agility-type Soul Master only felt a blur before his eyes, and a supple yet irresistible force came from his chest. He was spinning around and landed outside the arena the next second.
The seventh team member also failed to keep Xixi on stage for even a moment longer.
The signal to start the game is also the signal to end it.
One strike, and the outcome was decided.
Shrek Academy—!!!
The entire audience erupted in cheers, deafeningly loud. Xixi calmly turned and left the stage, as if she had merely accomplished a trivial task.
"This is... the strength of Shrek Academy's regular team members." Ma Rulong's expression was solemn as he slowly exhaled.
"Her speed is a big problem," Xiao Hongchen said coldly. "It must be limited."
"I... am not as fast as her." Chen Sheng and Chen Fei both shook their heads with wry smiles, admitting it frankly.
Meng Hongchen toyed with a strand of white hair: "It's alright. My ice and poison... are all area-of-effect."
"Once she steps into my territory, no matter how fast she moves, she'll have to slow down."
