Chen Mu's gaze remained fixed on the arena below where the battle had just ended, his eyes filled with a hint of solemnity as he slowly spoke: "This Ning Zhongtian is indeed not someone to be underestimated."

"It's not just the Holy Light Glazed Pagoda's all-around offensive and defensive capabilities that it utilizes to perfection."

"Moreover, like the Ning family tradition, he has mastered 'distraction control' and can activate soul skills of different attributes at the same time."

"Especially that last one..."

He paused, then added, "That white orb of holy light is truly powerful."

"The powerful defense and vitality of the level 54 Deep Sea Giant Octopus Martial Soul were torn apart from the inside out by it."

"Such attack power is worthy of his ranking of fifteenth on the list of geniuses."

He Qiang, who was standing next to him, crossed his arms and said, "The intelligence analysis from Tiandou Academy is indeed accurate."

"They have clearly figured out the characteristics of Zhang Hongtao's martial soul—the Deep Sea Giant Octopus is powerful, but it is ultimately biased towards darkness, filth, and poison."

"Ning Zhongtian's holy light happens to be a natural counter to it in terms of attributes. The purifying power of the holy light can effectively dismantle the defense and toxins of the deep-sea giant octopus."

"This is a precise tactical strike."

Zhu Wuneng clicked his tongue twice and habitually interjected, "This lineup hasn't even featured the main characters yet. If we replaced the offensive Yan Zaiyang and the agile Yu Qifan with Tang Chen and Xue Shiming..."

"Oh ho, that scene, Ning Zhongtian is in charge of control and defense breaking, Tang Chen is in charge of the ultimate attack, Xue Shiming is in the air strike, plus Ling Xinyao and Zhixuan's area control, Bai Tianrui's defense and Ye Zijun's healing."

"Wow, this combination might just wipe out Hanhai right from the start, taking them all in one fell swoop!"

"No wonder they are the biggest favorite to win the championship, even surpassing many top colleges."

Standing behind Xiaoyi, Su Caixia said softly to her, "Miss, Miss Ye Biao's healing abilities are truly well-deserved."

"Yan Zaiyang was so badly injured just now, his chest was almost collapsed, but under her Nine Heart Begonia light, the bleeding stopped and the wound closed up so quickly, and he was able to stand up again."

"This kind of top-tier martial soul, which is purely for healing, has an immediate effect."

Gao Cuilan, standing beside her, nodded, her tone certain: "The Nine-Heart Begonia is known as the 'King's Martial Soul,' and its reputation as the number one healing Martial Soul in the world is well-deserved, especially in battlefield healing, where it can be called a pillar of strength."

After listening to the crowd's discussion, Chen Xiaojun calmly withdrew his gaze from the arena below and said in a steady voice, "Alright, this battle is over."

"Although Tang Chen and Xue Shiming did not play today, we have a preliminary impression of the strength of the five main players of Tian Dou, namely Ning Zhongtian, Bai Tianrui, Ling Xinyao, Zhi Xuan, and Ye Zijun, especially their core tactical cooperation patterns and characteristics."

"Everyone should go back and digest this properly, and just keep the implications in mind."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Our next match is against Kamikaze Academy, and that's what we should be focusing on right now."

Chen Xiaojun didn't say anything grand or ambitious, but the composure and confidence in his tone made the team members put aside their distractions.

……

The first day of competition lasted for about ten hours, with the strong teams winning one after another.

However, among these numerous achievements, the strength of the Fasno Province is exceptionally outstanding. Apart from the Xuanhuang Team's defeat against the Tianling Team, one of the strongest teams, they won the other four matches.

……

The following day, the starting lineup for the Divine Wind Academy was placed in front of Chen Xiaojun.

He glanced at it and read aloud: "Level 53 Soul King Feng Poyue, Martial Soul Azure Wind Wolf; Level 52 Soul King Feng Luan, Martial Soul Azure Bird; Level 47 Soul Master Feng Yu, Martial Soul Wind Scepter; Level 48 Soul Master Feng Luyan, Martial Soul Wind Spirit Badge; Level 51 Soul King Feng Sha, Martial Soul Wind Demon Sword; Level 48 Soul Master Feng Hong, Martial Soul Rending Wind Eagle; Level 49 Soul Master Feng Cang, Martial Soul Hurricane Albatross."

"The Wind Demon Sword, it's finally being used." Chen Mu's deep voice rang out.

“Hmm,” Chen Xiaojun said without any change in expression, “This Wind Chariot is yours.”

"No problem!" Chen Mu's answer was decisive and straightforward.

Chen Xiaojun paused slightly, his tone slightly amused: "The Divine Wind Team still likes to use the academy's bestowed titles as always. They are clearly from seven different families, but they act as if they all share the same surname, Feng."

He Qiang, who was standing next to him, habitually crossed his arms and chimed in, "Captain, Shenfeng and their Blazing Fire Academy are all the same. They have this kind of uniform style, which is a kind of signature quirk."

Chen Mu curled his lip and said loudly, "Perhaps it's because their academy follows the extreme flow route."

"All members possess wind-attribute martial souls as their primary attribute, and the entire team is built around the three core characteristics of 'speed,' 'mobility,' and 'airflow control.'"

“Using the surname ‘Feng’ as a code name is, to some extent, an emphasis on the purity of this attribute and the unity of the team.”

Ji Boda nodded in agreement, recalling, "Indeed very strong."

"We witnessed it when we were substitutes in the last competition. Kamikaze Academy's style left a deep impression. Their overall pace was very fast and their pressure was immense."

Liu Ruyan added the academy's background: "Yes, they are an elite academy jointly founded by several powerful wind-attribute sects in the Laghhamma Province. They are among the top private academies."

"We came in second in the preliminary rounds in Laghhamma Province, second only to the long-established Oasis Academy." (Previous text was incorrect and has been corrected)
"Alright, let's put that background aside for now," Chen Xiaojun steered the conversation back to the specific opponents. "The key is their lineup: three Soul Kings and four High-Rank Soul Masters." "In terms of Martial Soul quality, four are Rank 7 (Azure Wind Wolf, Azure Sky Bird, Wind Demon Sword, Hurricane Albatross), and three are Rank 6 (Wind Scepter, Wind Spirit Badge, Rending Wind Sky Eagle)."

"In terms of position, there are three strong attackers and two agile attackers on the surface, but considering the characteristics of the wind attribute itself - the natural bonus of all wind-type soul masters in terms of speed and attack ability - it can actually be regarded as five quite sharp 'dual-type strong and agile' characters, plus a control-type Wind Whisperer and a support-type Wind Law Words."

He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over his teammates: "This team's core strategy is very clear: emphasizing high-speed advances, encirclement and splitting, and coordinated air and ground attacks."

"What we need to be most wary of is their 'three-dimensional strike' capability: simultaneous attacks on three fronts—high, medium, and low altitudes—leaving virtually no blind spots."

"The real threat lies in their main air force, especially the vice-captain, Azure Bird Wind Phoenix, who has an extremely strong ability to break through the back row and poses a huge threat to the support and control-type Soul Masters in the rear."

Chen Xiaojun finally pointed out the key weakness: "As for their shortcomings, they are also quite obvious."

"Firstly, the overall defensive capability is relatively weak, especially when facing head-on impacts or strong control."

"Secondly, the Wind Spirit Badge that assists Feng Luyan focuses more on mobility enhancement and point defense (such as adding a small wind shield to a single person), and lacks a powerful soul skill that can support the entire team's group protection or withstand damage."

"This support position will be the most vulnerable, most in need of protection, and most easily breached key point in their tactical chain."

……

On the battle stage, a strong wind howled.

The lineup of the Chang'an team led by Chen Xiaojun is clear: he himself leads the team, with Xiao Yi, Ji Boda, Liu Ruyan, Chu Youwei, Chen Mu, and Ma Liang ready for battle.

Chen Xiaojun's personal appearance clearly demonstrates the importance Chang'an attaches to this battle.

Kamikaze Academy took the "speed" strategy to the extreme right from the start!
After the support Soul Master Feng Luyan cast the "Whisper of the Wind" status on his teammates with a wave of his hand, the five attackers rushed towards Chang'an's position like arrows released from a bow.

Their figures were almost leaving afterimages under the acceleration effect, their speed and evasion ability increased sharply, intending to use their speed to tear apart Chang'an's defense line in an instant.

However, Chang'an's response was exceptionally precise.

The Divine Wind Control Core, Wind Whisper, was about to wield the Wind Scepter to manipulate the airflow and divide the battlefield, but was firmly locked in place by Xiao Yi's Vine of Life in the distance.

Several tenacious and vibrant vines, like intelligent emerald snakes, burst forth from the soil from tricky angles, relentlessly pursuing and entwining the plant.

Feng Yu's expression turned solemn. He could no longer calmly cast spells and could only rely on his movement to dodge continuously. At the same time, he hastily waved his scepter to set up wind walls and small tornadoes in front of him, barely managing to resist the vine attacks.

His prized ability to divide the battlefield was completely rendered useless by Xiao Yi's precise long-range harassment.

The airspace is also a battlefield of fierce fighting.

The three flying-type Soul Masters of Shenfeng, who had gained speed boosts—Azure Bird Feng Luan, Rending Wind Eagle Feng Hong, and Hurricane Albatross Feng Cang—formed a sharp arrow, forcefully suppressing Chang'an's air force, Chu Youwei (Nine Heavens Crane) and Ma Liang.

Head-on collisions on the ground are equally ferocious.

The Divine Wind Captain Feng Poyue charged forward with a wild roar, his target being Chen Xiaojun, the core of Chang'an; closely following behind, Feng Sha was surrounded by fierce gales and ominous purple light, his demonic sword formed from soul power emitting a cold light that tore through the void, his target firmly locked on Chen Mu.

Chen Xiaojun's gaze was calm and deep. The twin swords Chengying and Chun Jun in his hands suddenly shone brightly. The swords instantly met Feng Poyue's Vajra Crack finger guards with their claws. Amidst the ear-piercing sound of metal clashing, it was clear that he had already anticipated this fierce frontal attack.

He focused all his mind and calmly received the fierce attack from the Kamikaze captain.

At the same time, Chen Mu's eyes were sharp as lightning, and his invisible aura locked onto Feng Sha.

His entire demeanor shifted from stillness to motion, like a dormant volcano suddenly gathering the power to erupt, and the gleaming Seven Kill Sword was already in his hand.

As if awakened by this chilling killing intent, Feng Sha's fierce charge suddenly faltered slightly, but was quickly replaced by an even more ruthless will.

The Wind Demon Sword emitted a piercing shriek as it slashed down at Chen Mu, who was on high alert.

……

The wind howled, air currents collided, and the sounds of flapping wings and piercing the air echoed and roared above the arena.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ruyan frowned slightly, and with a wave of her hand, her fourth soul ring lit up, activating "Dance of the Drizzle"!
A thin, delicate yet incredibly strong metal thread instantly took shape, weaving into a dense network in the air. This effectively relieved the pressure on Chu Youwei and Ma Liang, temporarily blocking the fierce momentum of the divine wind attack.

Just then, the melodious sound of the xiao (a type of vertical bamboo flute) suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of hesitation.

Ji Boda held the Nine Phoenixes Flute to his lips, his second soul ring flashing – “Slow”.

An invisible force field instantly spread out, precisely enveloping the five Soul Masters who were launching the attack.

The accelerated aura symbolizing "Whispers of the Wind" on their bodies suddenly turned dark and viscous, as if they were sinking into an invisible swamp.

Kamikaze's prized speed was instantly reduced by at least 20%, and its momentum was momentarily halted.

The battle situation changed drastically. The three Divine Wind Bird Soul Masters exchanged glances and reached a consensus: this child cannot be allowed to live.
