Peerless: Gu Master Transforms Douluo.
Chapter 442 Evenly Matched? No, the Gap is Still Too Big
What a closely fought and exhilarating battle!
Compared to the previous one-sided crushing defeats, this match between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Academy is undoubtedly more interesting.
It's not that one-sided matches aren't interesting.
Rather, the more intense the battle, the stronger the satisfaction of victory, and the sense of conquest is beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
In particular, this battle represents the continuation of a feud spanning thousands of years.
It seems that this is where things should come to an end.
Even the spectators were eager to join in, and a fight almost broke out. All sorts of people took to the stage, engaging in heated verbal battles, creating quite a spectacle.
Can Shrek continue its journey?
Or will the Sun Moon Royal Academy overcome this mountain that has stood for thousands of years, shatter Shrek's invincible myth, and write a new chapter?
At this moment, fueled by a sense of national pride and patriotism, the adrenaline of everyone present surged.
"Shrek! Shrek!"
"Sun and Moon Empire! Sun and Moon Empire!"
The cheers surged like a tidal wave, and with the home advantage, even Shrek's eternal glory paled in comparison to the overwhelming support of the people.
However, at this moment, the outcome of the match is not affected by external factors.
Everything depends on the contestants' abilities!
In the individual elimination rounds, both sides adhered to the principles of long-term cooperation and long-term development, and engaged in friendly battles.
The odds of winning or losing seem to be even.
Both Beibei and Xiao Hongchen knew that with their strength, the key to victory would definitely be the team battle later on, so they planned to stop at the point of defeat in the individual competition.
There are still differences in the configuration of the other members on both sides.
This time, Shrek Academy sent seven people: Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Ning Tian, He Caitou, Wu Feng, Xie Huanyue, and Cao Jinxuan.
Xie Huanyue and Wu Feng were in charge of leading the charge.
Although these two are only Soul Kings, there is a huge gap between them and Soul Emperors, who have already stepped into the threshold of high-level Soul Masters. However, Soul Emperor-level opponents are not common in this Soul Master Competition.
Only the Spirit Pagoda and the Holy Spirit Sect have an unprecedented team configuration where all members are at least Soul Emperor level.
Similar to Shrek Academy, the top strength of Sun Moon Royal Academy is also concentrated among a few students, while the others are basically Soul Kings.
The Soul King players of the Sun and Moon Team are all top-tier Soul Kings selected through rigorous training. Each of them has undergone professional training from the academy and even the Mingde Hall, unlike other teams whose players lack even the best Soul Ring configuration.
On Shrek Academy's side, with the advantage of their martial souls and the blessing of their soul spirits, Xie Huanyue and Wu Feng, both Soul Kings, could easily contend with even Soul Emperors.
Faced with such a disparity, even if the players of the Sun and Moon team wanted to turn the tide using their soul tools, they would be powerless.
Defeat is only a matter of time.
The best outcome would be a one-for-one trade, or even a two-for-one trade.
As Beibei had expected, although Wufeng and Xiehuanyue had consumed a lot of soul power during the battle, they won a total of three matches while in good condition.
With the individual elimination rounds reaching their fourth match, the overall score is now 3 to 2, giving Shrek the advantage.
Such a result immediately drew cheers from the audience.
Xiao Hongchen, as the team leader, remained silent.
He also knew that Shrek's victory wouldn't be easy.
The situation can be described as a back-and-forth affair.
However, the two opponents were in good condition, while the three on their side were in poor condition.
Although their lives are not in danger, given their condition, it will be difficult for these three to exert immediate combat power in the upcoming team battles.
Although this result was not unexpected for Xiao Hongchen, he still wanted to say that these teammates were really impossible to carry.
Could you ask the referee to ban Soul Spirit?
The combination of a ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit and a Soul King powerhouse is practically a two-on-one situation in the individual elimination rounds, which is really unfair!
However, having already secured two points, they've already been dragged into the team competition.
The advantage is mine!
Xiao Hongchen knew that among the remaining Shrek Academy contestants, Ning Tian was a support-type Soul Master and definitely wouldn't be playing in the individual competition. Cao Jinxuan was originally a substitute, only good at some strange control techniques, and his combat strength wasn't very strong.
The rest of the people are in trouble.
Needless to say, He Caitou and Bei Bei are also formidable opponents. Even the Soul Emperor named He Caitou is a high-level Soul Master, whose strength should not be underestimated.
There is definitely some pressure.
Although Xiao Hongchen previously said that he wanted his sister to wait until the end, the sun and moon have no great generals, so perhaps Meng Hongchen will have to take the stage earlier.
Only by winning at least three points in the individual competition and then the team competition can a team overtake the opponent in the final points and turn defeat into victory.
Shrek's waiting area.
Beibei had also thought of this, and her encouraging gaze fell directly on Xu Sanshi.
Xu Sanshi stood up cursing, "Fine, I'll do it."
He knew his friend's personality perfectly well; he was just trying to get him to go up first and get beaten up to test the waters, since the Hongchen siblings on the other side were probably about to take the stage.
got used to.
My Xuanwu Shield martial spirit is only good for taking beatings.
The fourth round of the individual elimination tournament.
Xu Sanshi's opponent is Ding Xiaobu.
Xu Sanshi:?
Who is this guy?
Looking at the extremely thin young man from the Sun and Moon team, who looked like a skinny little monkey, Xu Sanshi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
That's it?
What's the point of continuing to send Soul King into battle?
Hearing Xu Sanshi's hearty laughter, Ding Xiaobu across from him raised an eyebrow and angrily demanded, "What are you laughing at?!"
"Heh." Xu Sanshi scoffed lightly, a flamboyant expression on his face, and laughed, "I laugh at Hongchen's lack of strategy and Beibei's lack of wisdom. If I were to go first, I would have already defeated all four of you."
Ding Xiaobu pouted and said, "Then you're really awesome."
Xu Sanshi waved his hand dismissively and said, "But it's not too late for me to go now. I can take down the remaining four of you by myself and skip the team competition!"
It's hard, the fist is hard.
Ding Xiaobu knew his task was to deplete the opponent's soul power, and then let the captain and his team take the field in the next match to secure the third point in the individual competition.
But this guy on the other side is just too annoying, isn't he?
Just looking at that idiot's smiling face made him want to punch him.
Hearing Xu Sanshi still mocking and provoking hatred, Ding Xiaobu took a deep breath. Knowing he couldn't win the argument, he simply raised his middle finger.
Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi was not angry but rather pleased, his expression full of sarcasm: "If you're not happy, come and hit me. Coward, all you can do is talk."
“RNM…”
Ding Xiaobu felt that if he had the strength, he would definitely beat the other party to death.
Unfortunately, I don't have that ability.
As tensions rose, the referee announced, "Both sides step back and prepare for the match."
Xu Sanshi walked away with his hands in his pockets, swaggering around arrogantly.
Ding Xiaobu wasn't in a hurry. As he walked back, he fiddled with the soul-guided propulsion device on his body, since he didn't directly release the soul-guided device, which was within the scope allowed by the rules.
"Game start!"
Zheng Zhan then swung down his right hand.
Ding Xiaobu was the first to move. His movements were extremely agile, with dozens of lights flashing behind him. With the help of the soul-guided thrusters, he shot forward.
Strangely, instead of trying to fight Xu Sanshi head-on, this guy started running around the arena in circles.
Seeing his opponent's actions, Xu Sanshi's eyes sharpened. Sure enough, this guy was thinking of depleting his soul power.
Unfortunately, he's a shameless guy. My taunts just now failed to provoke him, otherwise the fight would have been much easier.
Faced with Ding Xiaobu, an agile melee soul master, playing hide-and-seek, Xu Sanshi didn't really have a good way to catch his opponent for a while.
He's just a defensive-type Soul Master, so it's normal that he can't keep up with others in speed.
As for his fourth soul skill, Xuanwu Summoning, it can unexpectedly teleport life forms within a hundred meters to his front.
However, Xiao Hongchen had already learned of this information during their previous sparring session, so it would be strange if his opponent didn't have a soul tool to deal with it.
Furthermore, without Yuhao's powerful mental guidance, locking onto the opponent is also a problem.
However, Xu Sanshi also had ways to deal with it.
As long as he doesn't take the initiative to attack, then Ding Xiaobu is just wasting his soul power, and he is already in an invincible position.
Say so.
Xu Sanshi believed he still had some sense of shame.
It's a battle between a Soul Emperor and a Soul King. If he just throws it away like this, what will others say about him? What will Nan Nan think of him?
Xu Sanshi, who carries the bloodline of the Xuanwu divine beast, also has his own pride!
Watching Ding Xiaobu circling around him, Xu Sanshi calmly activated his martial soul, and rings of soul energy rose up beneath his feet.
He raised the Xuanwu Shield high, and a strong black light suddenly shone forth.
Third Soul Skill: Xuanwu Power!
Xu Sanshi's body emitted a jet-black light, which not only made him appear even taller, but also caused ripples to continuously emanate from him.
A massive amount of water elemental energy instantly condensed on the competition stage!
As the power of Xuanwu spread out, it was as if an invisible hand had locked onto the constantly moving Ding Xiaobu.
At this moment, Ding Xiaobu felt as if he were being pricked by thorns, as if he were stuck in a quagmire, and his originally rapid movement had slowed down.
This kind of ranged soul skill!!
How could a Soul Emperor possess it?
Before he could think it through, a flash of black light made him realize that he was completely restricted by the all-pervasive power of the Xuanwu.
Xu Sanshi charged forward, shield in hand.
Ding Xiaobu's expression changed drastically. A suffocating feeling, like a python coiling around him, washed over him. With his soul-guided propulsion device restricted, he had no way to avoid it!
And so, a layer of golden light emanated from his body.
Invincible shield!
The Sun and Moon team clearly intends to use money to overwhelm Xu Sanshi.
Xu Sanshi had anticipated this, and he wouldn't let this opponent's weakness slip by. Without hesitation, he used his fourth soul skill.
Is Xuanwu summoning something so inconvenient?
The invincible shield, now permeated by the power of Xuanwu, was utterly unable to stop Xu Sanshi's spatial displacement soul skill.
Ding Xiaobu, who was still maintaining his invincible shield, was summoned to Xu Sanshi's front with a completely bewildered look on his face.
Fortunately, Ding Xiaobu is equipped with more than just an invincible shield.
Otherwise, Zheng Zhan would really have to step in to prevent anyone from dying.
The next instant, Ding Xiaobu, who had activated his invincible shield again, was sent flying high into the air by Xu Sanshi's impact.
A blast of air swept through, and smoke and dust scattered everywhere.
The power of Xuanwu flowed back and condensed like a tidal wave.
"I'm coming in again~"
Unable to resist while suspended in mid-air, Ding Xiaobu saw Xu Sanshi's jet-black sixth soul ring light up on the ground. Looking at the enormous Xuanwu Shield, he instantly cowered, his face filled with fear, and shouted, "I surrender!"
Shrek, victory!
Zheng Zhan caught Ding Xiaobu as he flew high into the air, quickly checked his condition, and, seeing that he was alright, announced the result of the match.
"In the fourth individual match, Shrek Academy wins. Please send the next contestant from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team."
The audience cheered.
Cheers erupted.
Xu Sanshi stood in the center of the arena, amidst the thunderous cheers, looked towards the Sun and Moon Team's waiting area, and grinned mischievously, giving a thumbs-up:
"There's not a single one who can fight. Xiao Hongchen, why don't you come up here yourself?"
Laughing at the World in Silence: ...
After finally winning the rock-paper-scissors match, the agile Ding Xiaobu met Xu Sanshi, who had a speed disadvantage, and could have easily depleted the opponent's soul power.
Unfortunately, my teammates are so disappointing.
They were so scared that they admitted defeat.
I really can't manage this group of people.
Meng Hongchen volunteered, saying, "I'll do it."
"Okay." Xiao Hongchen took a deep breath. "It's up to you now."
Sure enough, he only realized it when the fight actually started.
Evenly matched?
No, the gap is still too big.
Originally, his teammates' talent and strength were inferior to those of Shrek Academy's top geniuses, and the appearance of the Soul Spirit was simply the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Even before the opponent used their battle armor, the chances of winning were already slim.
In the audience, watching as Shrek's strongest member, BeiBei, didn't even make a move, the Sun and Moon Team was forced into this predicament.
Viewers who had always believed in the Sun Moon Empire couldn't help but feel somewhat disheartened.
"It's over, it's completely over! There's no hope left, we can all give up now!"
"But Hongchen and his sister are still here..."
"Tch, Shrek Academy isn't without Soul Saints. Do you think they can get past Xu Sanshi? With this kind of setup, can they win a team battle? Are you expecting the Hongchen siblings to take on seven opponents at once?"
"Shrek is still Shrek after all..."
The audience members were talking amongst themselves; their earlier optimism had vanished.
However, they still believed in the Hongchen siblings.
What if we can turn defeat into victory?
Even if we lose, it's only because of other people.
There's nothing shameful about the Hongchen siblings!
So, the strongest genius in the empire's history, you must keep up the good work!
In this atmosphere, Meng Hongchen took the stage.
This time, Xu Sanshi actually refrained from stirring up trouble.
To be honest, although he finished the battle very easily, his soul power consumption was actually quite high. Fortunately, he didn't actually use his sixth soul skill.
With the assistance of the ten-thousand-year-old tortoise spirit, and under the Xuanwu power that was like a fish in water, his soul power recovered very quickly.
It can be said that he is currently in near-full condition against Meng Hongchen.
But whether they can win is another matter.
Because he had lost more often than he had won in his previous sparring matches with Meng Hongchen.
The other party's poison is really too cunning.
The powerful ice attribute even gave Xu Sanshi the feeling of facing the ultimate ice, and it also countered the water attribute of the Xuanwu Shield to a certain extent.
This is practically its own nemesis!
And what about the relationship between Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen...?
Or should we just admit defeat and go into team fight?
Thinking this, he glanced at Beibei in the audience... (End of Chapter)
