……

Time flows silently, and the third round of the tournament unfolds.

In the first match, Chang'an Academy faced off against its sister academy, Wushan.

The two sides had excellent teamwork in this battle. Although they exchanged blows, they did not exhaust themselves. Chang'an held back, allowing Wushan Academy to have a proper "rest".

In the second match, facing their old rivals, Hanhai Academy, the golden generation made their first appearance in their entirety.

Senior students took the lead, turning this competition between provincial colleges into a story of experience sharing and peer brilliance.

The process was intense yet well-controlled, and they ultimately won.

The third match is against the Flamebringer Academy from the province of Laghhamma.

The lineup fielded by Chang'an Academy consisted of Chen Mu, Xiao Yi, Shi Feiang, Lian Shouzhong, Zhu Taihong, Zhu Wuneng, and Ma Liang.

With a clear advantage in overall strength, they successfully passed the test after a series of battles.

The fourth match will see a truly formidable opponent – ​​Moon Bay Academy.

As a top-performing provincial school in the Tosk province, its style is decisive and swift.

Upon their arrival, they launched a relentless offensive, their attacks shifting like a whirlwind, their unwavering fighting spirit burning fiercely.

Chang'an Academy, or will it be the golden generation that takes on the challenge?
The spearhead position: He Qiang wields the Thunderous Dragon Halberd, Shen Youchu holds the Azure Sea Tide Sword, and Chu Youwei's Nine Heavens Crane Martial Soul flows with wind and thunder—the three of them form the sharpest attack arrow of the entire team.

Central Control Unit: Ji Boda is positioned on the flank, holding the Nine Phoenixes Flute, while Liu Ruyan and Chen Ze provide support in the center—the three of them weave a powerful control network using music, water needles, and chessboard techniques.

Support Core: Gu Wuyan provides global support with the "Satisfactory Disc".

The seven Soul Kings intend to recreate their invincible "fast attack limit control style"—using strict control of the field to create opportunities for a fatal blow in a sharp fast attack.

However, Moon Bay College's tenacity and targeted deployment far exceeded expectations.

Its captain's martial soul is "Chongshan Xuanjia Turtle" (Earth-attribute defensive strong attack soul master) level 55 Dang Zuncheng, whose body is surrounded by a thick and solid earth-yellow halo.

Instead of simply holding his ground, he directed his vice-captain, "Sky-Splitting Shadow Swallow," a level 53 Soul King named Chu Xiaoling (wind attribute agility attack type), and his teammates, along with two other power attack type Soul Masters, to form a counterattack arrowhead, directly attacking the flank of the Chang'an fast attack trio!
Meanwhile, two control-type Soul Masters cast interference skills from behind.

Luo Qianji, a level 52 control-type "Wave-Binding Jellyfish", unleashed his fifth soul skill, "Deep Sea Binding Domain" (which slows down movement), which has a wide range.

Luo Qianji spread his arms lightly, and the fifth soul ring beneath his feet emitted a ghostly light.

Countless translucent jellyfish tentacles seeped into the ground, and in an instant, eerie deep blue ripples appeared in the center of the arena, with viscous gel gushing out from the ground!

"Deep Sea Binding Domain" activated!
He Qiang's Thunderous Dragon Halberd, which was charging forward, suddenly sank, and the lightning on the halberd's tip seemed to sink into the mud; Shen Youchu's Azure Tide Sword was also wrapped by layers of viscous force field, and the sword's momentum became sluggish.

—This is precisely the deep-sea killing move of the Jellyfish Martial Soul: using soft water to transform heavy swamps and trap the enemy invisibly!

Following closely behind was the fifth soul skill of Bao Jun, a level 51 Conch Soul Master, which filled the field: "Soul-Eating Sound Wave" (interfering with the concentration of soul power).

Chu Youwei's Flying Crane Strike was also relentlessly pursued by Chu Xiaoling, who used his speed to keep up with her, making it difficult for her to effectively support the front or suppress the opponent's support.

The attack rhythm was instantly slowed down.

"Sea-Splitting Shark" Kang Shutong and "Abyss-Sinking Giant Anchor" Qi Zhenhai attacked from both sides.

The pressure on the three people in charge at the back increased sharply.

Ji Boda immediately changed the tone of his flute, playing the "feather" note with all his might, in an attempt to counteract the interference of the "Soul-Eating Sound Wave" on the circulation of soul power and to interfere with the actions of the "Sky-Splitting Shadow Swallow".

Liu Ruyan's Yuanling Needles struggled to use her fourth soul skill, [Drizzling Rain Dance], in the "Deep Sea Binding Domain" to deal with Kang Shu and Qi Zhenhai's advance;
Chen Ze's black and white chessboard was rapidly energized, with black and white lines crisscrossing, cutting across the battlefield, trying to separate the opponent's well-coordinated teammates, and creating one-on-one opportunities for the front line.

Gu Wuyan's "Satisfactory Disc" shimmered with light, first with a "Buff Aura" that increased all attributes by 15%.

Faced with the dual suppression of Moon Bay Academy's "Deep Sea Binding Domain" and "Soul-Eating Sound Wave," Gu Wuyan's Ruyi Disc shone brightly.

The Ruyi Plate in Gu Wuyan's hand rang out with a clear sound, and its jade light overflowed like a tide.

Fifth Soul Skill [Jade Balance Stance] - Activated!

Under the jade light, the lightning on He Qiang's halberd surged, greatly reducing the resistance to his charge; Ji Boda's flute music suddenly became more penetrating.

At the same time, the ripples of jade light swept across the enemy's territory, greatly reducing the sluggishness of "Deep Sea Binding Domain" like the receding tide, and also weakening the noise of "Soul-Eating Sound Wave" by nearly 30%.

—This is precisely the debuff-type support skill that control-type Soul Masters fear most, and it also comes with an amplification effect.

The effect is to temporarily increase the efficiency of soul power output by 15%-20%, and reduce the effects of magic domain and area-of-effect soul skills by 25%-35%.

With one increase and one decrease, the shackles on the battlefield are cracking!

The two sides moved and collided at high speed within the arena, their soul skills flashing and then disappearing in succession.

The stalemate continued, with the offense and defense switching at a breathtaking pace.

A turning point, erupting suddenly!
On the left, Chu Youwei let out a clear cry, and the phantom of the Nine Heavens Crane merged into the wind. He Qiang sensed the resonance of soul power, and the Thunderous Dragon Halberd instantly burst out with dazzling golden light. The two figures intertwined and overlapped, and the thunder and wind shadows merged perfectly—the master's combined attack skill "Wind and Thunder Synergy"!
A massive halberd beam, crackling with destructive wind and thunder power, ignored the constraints of the "Deep Sea Binding Domain," forcefully tearing through the defensive barrier constructed by Dang Zuncheng's Xuanjia Turtle and striking him heavily.

Just as the Wind and Thunder Pact broke through the opponent's frontal defense, the control combination on the right launched a second wave of deadly attacks. Liu Ruyan poured in her soul power and activated the secret technique "Heavenly Coolness". All the water and fire elemental needles suddenly flashed with a cold blue light and instantly turned into steel. Hundreds of tough and cold "ice needles" shot straight into the sky.

Ji Boda's eyes sharpened, and the tone of the Nine Phoenixes Arriving Flute suddenly turned into a piercing high frequency—the "Gong" character technique.

The invisible yet intense sound waves precisely struck and vibrated each falling ice needle.

Amidst the tremors, the ice needles suddenly split and multiplied, transforming into a sky-covering rain of death composed of countless tiny ice shards—the family's combined technique, "Chaotic Spring Collapse: Thousand Needle Rain."

This wide-ranging, precisely guided by sound waves, rained down icicles, accurately enveloping the Moon Bay team members who were slightly thrown off balance by the impact of the "Wind and Thunder Synchronization."

Countless fine ice needles pierced through the remaining defenses, embedding themselves in joints, acupoints, and soul power nodes.

The corrosive cold and the soul-blocking effect spread instantly.

In particular, Luo Qianji and Bao Jun, the two in the back row who were releasing interference, had their movements severely distorted under the penetration of the ice needles, and their interference skills were immediately weakened or even interrupted.

The precise connection and explosive power of these two combo attacks, like a series of heavy punches, one fast and one slow, finally broke through Moon Bay's impregnable defense system and successfully dragged the opponent into Chang'an's familiar rhythm.

Without coordinated support, the Moon Bay team members fought individually, struggling to cope with the ever-present ice needles and the relentless, rapid attacks of the fast-paced trio.

Shen Youchu's Azure Tide Sword unleashed crimson sword waves, slicing through lone opponents; Chen Ze's chessboard continued to divide the battlefield; Gu Wuyan's amplification struck precisely where it was most needed.

The balance of power finally tipped completely in favor of Chang'an.

However, Moon Bay College's fierce spirit was fully displayed when defeat was inevitable.

Before his captain, Dang Zuncheng, collapsed from his serious injuries, he concentrated all his soul power into one point and detonated it. The earth-yellow shockwave of his ten-thousand-year soul skill spread violently, carrying with it fragments of rock.

He Qiang and Chu Youwei, who were closest to him, were the first to be affected.

He Qiang parried with his halberd, but was still sent flying backward by the enormous impact. His tiger's mouth split open, and his arm bones throbbed with pain. Chu Youwei's Nine Heavens Crane phantom dissipated with a mournful cry during the impact. She spat out blood, and her face turned deathly pale.

Almost simultaneously, Chu Xiaoling, who was being targeted by the ice needles, forced himself to activate his soul skill despite his stiff movements, relying on his astonishing willpower. He transformed into a blurry shadow and instantly rushed to within two meters of Ji Boda, thrusting out a black short blade [Sky-Splitting Shadow Blade] formed from soul power in his hand like lightning.

Ji Boda had just finished playing "Chaotic Spring Collapse · Thousand Needle Rain" and his soul power was in a brief transitional gap. Faced with this desperate attack, he could only barely turn to the side.

The black blade grazed his arm, leaving a deep, bone-revealing gash. The intense pain and the corrosive effect of the alien soul power made his vision go black, and he almost dropped the Nine Phoenixes' Auspicious Flute.

Witnessing this scene, Liu Ruyan desperately used her fifth soul skill, [Yuan Magnetic Soul-Piercing Needle], to blast Chu Xiaoling apart. Her meridians were throbbing with pain due to the excessive pressure.

She herself was also affected by the chilling soul power emanating from the cleaving shadow blade, letting out a muffled groan and blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

To cover the two, Chen Ze, who was in charge of providing support, used his fourth soul skill, [Chess Soul Summoning], to withstand a long-range fourth soul skill, [Anchor of Stabilizing the Sea], launched by Qi Zhenhai. His protective soul power was violently shaken, and his blood and qi surged continuously.

Gu Wuyan, who had been providing overall support, expended a large amount of soul power at the last moment to shield Shen Youchu, who was a little far from the explosion center, from some of the aftershocks, causing his own soul power to become somewhat disordered.

When the final bell rang, only Shen Youchu, who was in slightly better condition, and Chen Ze and Gu Wuyan, who were struggling to stay afloat, remained on the field.

He Qiang, Chu Youwei, Ji Boda, and Liu Ruyan were all lying or sitting on the ground, suffering from severe external injuries and internal injuries caused by disordered soul power.

This was a victory won at a great cost; Moon Bay Academy fought to their last breath.

……

Looking back on Moon Bay Academy's journey in this competition, it seems to have been marked by a bit of bad luck.

In the first round of the competition, they may have underestimated the newly promoted Wushan Academy team and chose to fight to the bitter end against the near-top team Tianling Team from Laghhamma Province in the previous match.

As a result, they not only lost that crucial battle and suffered heavy losses, but also failed to withstand the first key foreign aid, Wei Yelin, that the next day when they faced Wushan Academy. They were unfortunately defeated.

Entering the second cycle, the bad luck did not go away.

When facing Qinglin Academy, they were directly defeated by the opponent's signature Blood Spear Formation, which was full of fierce fighting spirit.

In this third cycle, they encountered the rising power of Chang'an Academy.

Despite Moon Bay's all-out effort and displaying the style and resilience of a strong provincial team, they ultimately succumbed to defeat in a head-on battle, suffering another loss.

After three rounds of competition, all three battles ended in defeat.

Moon Bay Academy's consecutive defeats, once considered the second-best representative of the strongest division, Tosk Province, have become a significant indicator of the gap in strength between the two divisions—the rising star Fasno and the established powerhouse Tosk.

Looking at the current record, among the five academies in Tosk Province, apart from the undisputed dominant Moonflower Academy, the other four teams have performed poorly when facing the academies of Fasno Province.

The only bright spot was that Elephant Armor Academy won the battle against Xuanhuang Academy after an extremely difficult tug-of-war.

However, when facing Fasno's Yue Si Academy, the Xiangjia were also not spared and were defeated one after another.

Yes, just yesterday, the series of earthquakes at Xiangjia College were completely helpless against the "mudslide" at Yuesi College.

Therefore, strictly speaking, when faced with the overall strength of Fasno, the four teams of Tosk, apart from Yuehua, were almost completely wiped out.

Moon Bay, unfortunately, became a significant contributor to this overall disparity, even though it was not their intention.
