Boom!
The black light wave unleashed by Kuang Xi slammed into Dai Mubai's White Tiger Aegis, erupting in a violent roar. The two attacks dissipated simultaneously, but the force of the impact sent Dai Mubai sliding back two steps.
"Kuang Xi, watch out!" the enchanting woman shouted, her expression suddenly changing.
Kuang Xi's attack was over, but Dai Mubai's was not. The White Tiger Violent Light Wave, a dazzling sphere of white light, was already hurtling toward Kuang Xi at incredible speed, now just inches away. Kuang Xi knew he was in danger, but speed had never been his strength; it was his greatest weakness. Seeing the attack about to hit, he knew it was too late to dodge. He could only brace himself and take the blow head-on.
Boom!
The moment the light wave connected, Kuang Xi's massive body was sent stumbling backward. He didn't stop until he had retreated a full ten steps, and the arm he had used to defend himself now showed obvious burn marks. In their initial exchange, he had clearly come out on the losing end. With the powerful buffs from Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the gap in their spirit power had been all but erased. Under that terrifying thirty percent boost, Dai Mubai's current strength far surpassed his opponent's.
At the same time, the spider web that the enchanting woman was weaving in the air was completely incinerated by Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire, having no effect on the battle whatsoever. Acting like a mobile cannon, Ma Hongjun was unleashing the full power of his flames.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing spoke to him in her usual cold, direct tone. "You block that agility-type. I'm going to deal with their support."
"Huh? Me?" Ma Hongjun pointed at himself, his expression priceless. He was only a Spirit Grandmaster in his twenties! Even with the boost from Ning Rongrong, he was now expected to fend off the enemy's controller and block an agility-type Spirit Elder? That was an outrageous demand!
But Zhu Zhuqing didn't care what he thought. Before he could even protest, she had already shot off from the flank, leaving him no choice but to comply.
Meanwhile, at the front line, Dai Mubai's spirits soared as he watched Kuang Xi get blasted back. He stomped his foot and shot forward like an arrow, aiming for the Goat Spirit Master on the left. The opponent didn't even try to dodge. As the saying goes, when a sheep meets a tiger, the natural suppression between their martial souls was enough to give Dai Mubai a significant advantage before the fight even began.
Xiao Wu's figure flashed as she moved to engage the other Goat Spirit Master. The agility-type she had been fighting earlier was already lying on the ground some distance away, thrown through the air by her attack and now staring at the ceiling in a daze, questioning how a Spirit Elder in his thirties could be so easily defeated by a Spirit Grandmaster in her twenties.
Zhu Zhuqing, meanwhile, was accelerating with all her might, circling around the main battlefield from the side. She bypassed the control-type Spirit Master completely, her eyes locked on the Ruyi Plate support master at the very back of the enemy formation.
The battle had now fully unfolded, and in the opening clash, the Shrek team, despite being technically outmatched, had seized the initiative. The audience, who had been cheering wildly for the Berserkers just moments before, had fallen completely silent.
"Is the Berserker Team going easy on them today?" someone whispered.
"You don't think this is a fixed match, do you? There's no way a Spirit Elder can't even beat a Spirit Grandmaster!"
"Don't you idiots understand what the continent's number one support-type martial soul is? That's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
"I don't care about any of that. I just want to know if the guy sitting at the back is ever going to make a move!"
By now, a significant portion of the crowd was filled with a burning curiosity about Huo Feng. The anticipation was palpable.
Just then, the Berserker Team showed why they had a seven-win streak. In any team, the control-type Spirit Master is the strategic core. Seeing the situation turning against them, the enchanting woman began shouting commands. "Twin Monkeys, fall back and protect the Ruyi Plate! Twin Goats, hold the line!"
The two Monkey Spirit Masters immediately disengaged and retreated toward their support. As ordered, they changed their target and pounced toward the incoming Zhu Zhuqing.
Dai Mubai was still managing to overwhelm the two Goat Spirit Masters. While their spirit power was not weak, the natural advantage of his martial soul was simply too great. His ferocious tiger claws forced them to continuously retreat. However, neither side had used their third spirit ring yet; that was a trump card no one would play unless absolutely necessary.
Zhu Zhuqing's speed was terrifying. Boosted by Ning Rongrong, she crossed the distance to the enemy support master in just a few flashes, leaving the two intercepting monkeys far behind. Her first spirit skill, Netherworld Spike, activated instantly, pushing her speed even further. Her sharp claws extended, aiming straight for the man's neck. As long as she could take him out and remove his buffs, her mission would be a success.
Swish!
The Ruyi Plate master stood no chance against an agility-type assassin like Zhu Zhuqing. Just as controllers counter agility-types, agility-types specialize in eliminating supports. She chopped the man on the back of the neck, and he crumpled to the ground unconscious without so much as a grunt.
But at the last second, knowing he couldn't escape, he managed to unleash his third spirit skill. A strange silver wave pulsed from his Ruyi Disk. As Zhu Zhuqing's hand struck him, the silver light successfully split into six streams, shooting into his six teammates.
The moment the light entered their bodies, the members of the Berserker Team trembled. In the next instant, their eyes turned bloodshot, and their bodies swelled by a full circle.
Dai Mubai, who had been completely dominating his opponents, suddenly found himself facing two frenzied beasts. Their spirit power had skyrocketed, and with their eyes glowing red, they charged at him madly, forcing him back.
And then, the situation got even worse. Kuang Xi, having recovered from the earlier blow, was now also charging at him, his eyes glowing with the same berserk fury. A one-on-two might have been manageable, but with Kuang Xi joining the fray… Dai Mubai knew he wouldn't last ten seconds.
"Huo Feng, are you still not going to do something?!" he roared, his voice a desperate cry for help.
Ding!
A voice suddenly sounded in Huo Feng's mind.
Hidden quest triggered!
Sacrifice all seven members of the Berserker Team. After completing the seven consecutive sacrifices, you will be rewarded with five thousand sacrifice points!
The familiar, beautiful female voice of the system, which had been silent for so long, instantly made him feel a surge of energy.
"How much?!" he thought, his mind reeling. "How many sacrifice points did you say?!"
Ding!
Answering host: Five thousand sacrifice points!
