Chapter 109 The Nemesis of Ranged Soul Tools.
On the city wall, Xu Jiujiu asked Xu Jiawei in surprise, "Brother, I remember that girl was an agility-type soul master, but what use is an agility-type soul master against the overwhelming attack of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? What is Shrek Academy planning?" "It should be some kind of tactic." Xu Jiawei's gaze was serious, and then he looked at Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger beside him.
"Brother, what do you think of Shrek Academy's arrangement?"
Dai Hao said after thinking for a moment, "The only goal of sending agility-type soul masters is to achieve an instant burst of power. It seems that Shrek Academy is very confident in winning this team battle."
Xu Jiawei nodded and said meaningfully, "Let's wait and see. I believe we will see a surprise in this match."
Just as they were talking, the Shrek Academy team and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team had already entered the arena and arrived on the left and right sides of the Heavenly Fiend Douluo.
"I've already announced the rules, so I won't repeat them. Both sides step back and prepare to begin. The match ends when one side has no one left to fight." Ma Xiaotao narrowed her eyes, her gaze fixed intently on the opposing captain, Ma Rulong. Her eyes seemed to burn with a real flame.
Ma Rulong's gaze was heavy. As a fellow Soul Emperor, he hadn't felt much pressure facing Jiang Peng, but Ma Xiaotao's gaze inexplicably created a sense of oppression within him.
Both teams slowly retreated. Xiao Hongchen, who had been extremely tense, began to show excitement in his eyes. He was a competitive player; the more tense he was, the stronger his fighting power became. Being able to participate in this competition as reserve members already proved their strength, along with Meng Hongchen. This was also their first appearance in this tournament. What abilities did they possess that would make them a secret weapon?
Gradually, both teams approached the edge of the arena. On Shrek Academy's side, Ma Xiaotao and Xu Sanshi stood at the forefront, followed by Wu Xuan and Dai Yueheng. Bei Bei, Chen Zifeng, and Jiang Nannan were at the back.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy formed a common triangular formation, with Ma Rulong at the very front.
Both sides were highly focused. Just as they reached the edge of their respective arenas, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu shouted, "The match begins!" The first battle to determine the champion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament finally began.
The instant Huang Jinxu shouted "Begin!", both formations changed simultaneously, and a surprising scene unfolded.
As if pre-arranged, the Shrek Academy and Sun Moon teams simultaneously converged towards the center, forming a single line.
On the Shrek Academy side, Ma Xiaotao was no longer at the front; instead, Wu Xuan had taken her place.
On the Sun Moon team's side, after forming a line, the person at the front also changed, this time to Lin Xi.
Simultaneously with the change in formation, both sides released their martial souls, and the Sun Moon team also released their soul tools. Wu Xuan's second soul ring instantly lit up.
"Second Soul Skill, Light Breeze!"
Wu Xuan raised one hand high, his purple soul rings shimmering, a gentle breeze rippling around him. With the addition of this breeze, the Shrek Seven's aura intensified.
With a 100% speed boost, the seven charged forward.
On the other side, the Sun Moon Team remained stationary. For soul masters, sufficient distance was crucial to unleashing their full power.
Lin Xi, standing at the forefront, immediately released a soul tool—a shield, but only the size of a regular plate. A flash of light appeared on the metal shield, and a layer of yellow aura spread out, transforming into a two-meter diameter light shield, protecting not only him but also the rest of the Sun Moon Team.
It was clear to everyone why the Sun Moon Team did this; the reason was simple: they were obviously guarding against Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Substitution.
Seeing the Shrek Seven rush to the center in the blink of an eye, the expressions of everyone at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy changed drastically.
"Fire! Fire!" Ma Rulong roared hoarsely.
The next moment, countless orbs of light, condensed from soul power and released through soul tools, burst forth from the Sun Moon Team members behind Lin Xi like a peacock spreading its tail. These orbs first scattered rapidly to the sides and into the sky, then hurtled towards Shrek Academy with astonishing speed and a piercing whistle.
The orbs even accelerated their convergence in mid-air; judging from their trajectory, they would all land squarely on the seven Shrek Academy members without fail.
The Sun Moon Team's soul masters were at least level five. Even if their soul power was enhanced through various drugs and secret techniques and couldn't compare to true soul masters, their soul power cultivation was undeniable. The power of soul tools activated by soul king-level soul power was even greater than the soul skills directly used by a soul king, let alone the combined power of so many level five soul masters unleashing their skills.
As the light sphere accelerated, it began to converge, completely locking onto the seven members of Shrek Academy.
Every member of the Sun Moon Team was at least a Level 5 Soul Master. Although their cultivation levels were largely enhanced through drugs and secret techniques, their foundation couldn't compare to the traditional Soul Masters from the Douluo Continent. However, their cultivation was undeniably real.
Previously, in their team battle against the Imperial Ao Academy, the Sun Moon Team had used this comprehensive Soul Guidance Device to unleash their power, forcefully suppressing their opponents and, through sustained attacks, forcing the Imperial Ao Academy team off the stage.
Faced with the frenzied advance of Shrek Academy, the Sun and Moon Team displayed their true strength. Distance is undoubtedly the most crucial factor for Soul Masters. Maintaining sufficient distance allows them to fully utilize their advantages.
After all, once a traditional Soul Master gets close, Soul Masters, whose Martial Soul quality, Soul Power quality, and foundation are all inferior, will only find themselves on the defensive.
A dense array of light orbs covered the midfield, creating a truly awe-inspiring sight.
The Shrek Team, having unleashed their Martial Souls, responded accordingly.
Wu Xuan, his Soul Power surging wildly, chuckled, and an azure-green ultimate wind instantly roared forth, a hurricane that blotted out the sky, directly engulfing the countless light orbs and Soul Guidance Rays. The engulfed light orbs and rays only held for a few seconds before vanishing into nothingness under the howling hurricane.
"What? How is this possible?" Xiao Hongchen exclaimed, startling the remaining four members of the Sun and Moon Team from their daze.
Aside from the fixed-mount soul-guided cannon, most long-range attack soul-guided devices attack opponents in the form of energy. Unfortunately, the annihilation attribute of the Extreme Wind is most effective against attacks that rely on energy.
Giving the Sun Moon Team no time to react, the moment the hurricane dissipated, a white light shot into the sky from among the charging Shrek Seven.
Fourth Soul Skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower!
The white light that shot into the sky formed a white crescent moon, then instantly transformed into countless white streams of light, pouring towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
While the white streams of light weren't as powerful as the soul-guided rays unleashed by the entire Sun Moon Team, their timing was impeccable, striking precisely during a vulnerable moment for the team. Moreover, as the fourth soul skill of a Soul Emperor, its power was beyond the capabilities of even a level five soul master to withstand.
With a deafening explosion, the giant shield held by Lin Xi at the forefront was blasted into a rain of light.
"First Soul Skill, Gathering Spirit Wind!"
The yellow first soul ring shone brightly, and with a light flick of Wu Xuan's hand, a cool breeze quickly swept towards Ma Xiaotao beside him.
A loud phoenix cry rang out, and a huge phantom of a fire phoenix appeared behind her. This was a real fire phoenix, a fire phoenix that briefly possessed extreme fire.
The scorching golden-red aura wave swept in, distorting the surrounding space as if it were being twisted. The temperature soared dramatically. This entire space was dyed golden-red.
Next, not only Xiao Hongchen, but all the members of the Sun Moon Team, including Ma Rulong, were filled with horror.
Two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings around Ma Xiaotao, six perfectly matched soul rings, pulsed rapidly. The deep sixth soul ring suddenly lit up.
She actually activated her sixth soul skill immediately.
Huge fire meteors, each more than five meters in diameter, rained down from the sky, not only dense but also incredibly powerful.
The air above the arena almost completely distorted. The 108 Soul Kings maintaining the Soul Guidance Shield let out a muffled groan, forced to exert all their Soul Power to maintain its stability.
Ma Rulong's eyes widened in horror, almost roaring, "Full power attack! Full power attack!"
The second wave of numerous ranged Soul Guidance Devices unleashed their power. Lights, orbs, and projectiles—things many Shrek Academy students had never even seen before—instantly rose into the air, surging in like a tidal wave. Compared to the first wave, they were faster, more numerous, and denser. A violent roar erupted as the Sun and Moon Team clashed head-on. Ma Xiaotao once again proved her strength to everyone.
Due to the haste, the Sun and Moon Team's Soul Guidance Attack was utterly unable to withstand Ma Xiaotao's sixth Soul Skill under the extreme heat of the Extreme Fire.
Just as the Phoenix Meteor Shower was about to explode in the center of the Sun and Moon Team's formation, three layers of shields instantly lit up on their side, enveloping all seven of them.
