Chapter 182 Breaking the situation
When Tang Ying turned his attention to Gu Yueling, Xiao Wu, who was confronting him, immediately made a move.

Several moon blades flew towards Tang Ying, posing a considerable threat to him.

However, Shi Mo seized the opportunity to block Tang Ying's path, protecting his teammate with his black Xuanwu Shield.

Ye Lingling, who was originally protected by the stone mill, was exposed at this moment. Bai Chenxiang did not hesitate to scatter feathers on her body, causing bright red blood flowers to appear on this support character's body.

Ye Lingling's expression changed, but she was not panicked at all. She simply picked up the nine-hearted begonia in her hand quietly.

Instantly, white light, like flower petals, rose up and entered Ye Lingling's body, gradually healing her injuries.

One characteristic of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul is that it can only acquire healing-type Soul Skills. This makes the Martial Soul's abilities quite limited, but it is extremely specialized in healing abilities.

Bai Chenxiang's Wind Feathers are suitable for dealing with lightly armored units because while the Wind Feathers' damage output isn't particularly outstanding, its speed is also excellent due to the influence of the wind element, making it quite difficult to dodge.

With the hidden weapon techniques taught to her by Tang San, the Wind Feather could be said to be both fast and accurate.

However, Ye Lingling had no intention of dodging; she simply relied on her healing abilities to withstand the attack, which left Bai Chenxiang somewhat at a loss.

However, she was not discouraged. Although her damage could not exceed Ye Lingling's healing output, it could still deplete some of Ye Lingling's energy, preventing her from fully supporting her teammates.

For example, Oslo, who has already been knocked unconscious.

When Tang Ying aimed at her, Gu Yueling immediately adopted a defensive stance. She knew that the only truly powerful arrows fired from the Zihua Bow could be formed from soul rings, but this resulted in immense destructive power.

Therefore, Gu Yueling had no intention of testing the arrows on herself and instead focused on mobilizing her defensive measures.

However, the arrow shot at her shattered into countless points of light upon hitting the golden dragon's head, and Tang Ying still had two spirit rings on her body.

Clearly, Tang Ying has once again used the arrow of deception.

Realizing she had been tricked, Gu Yueling's face darkened, and a hint of hostility appeared in her eyes.

At this moment, Shi Mo, who had been blocking Chen Feng's advance, suddenly felt his legs tighten and almost lost his balance and fell.

This was because his legs were entangled by green plants that had appeared out of nowhere.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Feng used his Ghostly Shadow Steps to bypass the stone graphite in front of him and made a move to attack Tang Ying.

Under Xiao Wu's suppression, the stone mill protecting Tang Ying had no chance to move its shield, so Tang Ying had no choice but to shoot an arrow at Chen Feng.

And this arrow was a real arrow!
Chen Feng immediately activated Instantaneous Charge. He clearly saw the reduction of the spirit rings on Tang Ying's body and knew that he could not charge directly at Tang Ying because the Thunder Charge could not turn.

So he made another choice.

After Tang Ying fired the arrow, he saw Chen Feng's figure transform into a bolt of lightning, but the lightning did not strike him. Instead, it rushed towards Shi Mo, who was breaking free from the Blue Silver Grass's restraints.

As expected, the arrow missed its target and struck the protective shield surrounding the Soul Arena, emitting a piercing shriek.

It was as if the protective shield had been punctured.

It was at this moment that Bai Chenxiang, who had been trying to threaten Ye Lingling, suddenly descended and appeared behind Gu Yueling.

Then she put her hands under Gu Yueling's armpits and lifted her up.

Tang Ying initially wanted to shoot at this live target in the sky, but he quickly hesitated because he only had one arrow left.

If this final arrow is fired, the girl with the scorpion braid on the other side will lose all restraint and can use her range to bully the Heavenly Fighting Royal Team at will.

So Tang Ying hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not use the arrow on Gu Yueling in the sky. Instead, he used it to intimidate Xiao Wu on the other side.

At this moment, Chen Feng had already used the Instantaneous Strike. The instant the lightning flashed, Shi Mo used all his strength to hold up the Xuanwu Shield and protect Tang Ying behind him.

However, Chen Feng had no intention of charging into the formation. Before Shi Mo, who had been bypassed, could react, he stabbed him in the shoulder with his sword.

"Ah!" Shi Mo let out a scream, and his brother Shi Mo also shuddered.

While everyone's attention was focused on the injured Shi Mo, Bai Chenxiang in the sky had already carried Gu Yueling and was flying rapidly towards the enemy's back row.

Ye Lingling quickly noticed this and loudly reminded her:
"Watch out from the sky!"

However, this reminder came too late. Moreover, the Tiandou Royal Team had a minor weakness: insufficient air power. Their air defense was entirely dependent on the archer, Tang Ying.

When Chen Feng discovered the change in the archer selection for the Heaven Dou Royal Team, he realized the problem and decided on an airdrop tactic with Tang San.

However, this tactic is still threatened by Tang Ying's Purple Flower Bow, so everything Hydra Team is doing now is focused on distracting Tang Ying.

Tang Ying's only truly powerful arrows are the three arrows, because his current soul power is level thirty-nine.

Whether it's deception or distraction, as long as it prevents him from threatening the ascending Gu Yue Ling, the tactic of airdropping the little lion will succeed.

If Gu Yueling were to be placed in the back row of the Tian Dou Royal Team, it would be tantamount to a lion among sheep.

In short, it was a massacre.

At this point, Tang Ying only had one arrow left, and he had to choose between intercepting Gu Yueling and intimidating Xiao Wu.

The back row of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team is not vulnerable. Originally, there were two shield guards and one assassin as defensive forces. With Ye Lingling's presence, such defense can already be described as solid.

But now the assassin has been stunned, and one of the shield guards has to go to intercept him because of the great threat posed by Dust Blade, leaving only one shield guard as a fighting force.

Logically speaking, with healing available, Shieldbearers should have an advantage against Warriors.

However, Gu Yueling possessed a strange and unsettling internal energy technique, making the shield guards seem like punching bags in front of her.

If she were to break in, the consequences would be unpredictable.

However, Xiao Wu's threat should not be underestimated. Once Tang Ying fires the last arrow, the Tian Dou Royal Team will basically have no way to deal with Xiao Wu, the archer.

Then Xiao Wu can run wild on the field like a husky that has been let loose.

Not to mention that Hydra team also fielded two marksmen.

While having more shooters isn't necessarily better, with a well-planned tactical setup, once an advantage is established, victory can be easily secured. In this light, Tang Ying's current situation can be described as being caught between a rock and a hard place.

There was no time left for him to think things through; he could only make what he considered the most reasonable choice.

That is to continue to intimidate Xiao Wu.

Tang Ying believed that even if Gu Yueling was sent over, Shi Mo could keep her occupied for a while, and with Dugu Yan assisting her, Gu Yueling might not be able to play any role.

However, allowing the two opposing marksmen to be freed from their restraints and unleash their attacks at will would have serious consequences. If this happens, the Tiandou Royal Team might as well give up.

While Tang Ying was pointing the Purple Flower Bow at Xiao Wu again, Dugu Yan was not idle either. Her fourth soul ring began to shine, and the poisonous water on the ground gradually turned into a dark blue color.

When the dark blue poisonous water appeared, the ground of the Soul Arena immediately made a sizzling sound where it came into contact with the water, and white smoke also rose from it.

This is Dugu Yan's fourth soul skill, Azure Phosphorus Poison, or it can also be called by another name, Corrosive Poison.

If Gu Yueling were to parachute into the back row of the Tian Dou Royal Team, she would be threatened by the corrosive poison, and Dugu Yan believed that this would inevitably involve the blonde girl.

"Take me there." Looking at the patch of blue on the ground, Gu Yueling said to Bai Chenxiang expressionlessly.

Although Bai Chenxiang felt that doing so was very dangerous, she could not disobey the pre-arranged tactics, so she launched Gu Yueling out in a high-speed rush.

Gu Yueling flipped and fell in the air. Before she even landed, her third spirit ring suddenly lit up.

The next moment, a deafening roar of a lion rang out on the fighting stage and reached the ears of the surrounding audience.

In the spectator area, Qin Ming's expression changed slightly. "Damn it, they actually had this trick up their sleeve."

After the Shi brothers were defeated, he paid close attention to Gu Yueling and had some understanding of her first two soul skills.

Later, when Gu Yueling advanced to the Soul Master level and came to the Great Soul Arena, Qin Ming learned about the effects of her fourth soul skill.

However, Qin Ming was never clear about Gu Yueling's third soul skill, because Gu Yueling had never used it in the Soul Arena.

And now, this unknown third soul skill has set the tone for the outcome of this team battle.

Dugu Yan thought that Gu Yueling would have a tug-of-war with Shi Mo after she came down, and was preparing to use the corrosive poison to force Gu Yueling back. The poisonous water was not as uncontrollable as the poisonous fog, and Dugu Yan was confident that she would not harm her teammates.

But just as she was about to do so, a lion's roar rang in her ears, and she was immediately stunned.

Tang Ying, Shi Mo, and Ye Lingling were the same; when faced with the lion's roar, their minds went blank for a moment.

This short period of time was enough for Gu Yueling.

Ignoring the fact that her shoes were being corroded, she unhesitatingly delivered two punches to Ye Lingling and Tang Ying, knocking them both unconscious.

Gu Yueling frowned slightly as she watched the two people about to fall into the poisonous water, and then kicked them off the Soul Fighting Platform.

It's worth mentioning that Tang Ying flew much farther than Ye Lingling, even though he was heavier.

Clearly, this was Gu Yueling's revenge for being tricked earlier.

After Tang Ying and Ye Lingling were dealt with, Shi Mo and Dugu Yan also woke up from their stunned state.

They immediately had to deal with Gu Yueling, but Xiao Wu and Bai Chenxiang had already been freed.

As it turns out, marksmen who have lost their inhibitions are indeed quite threatening, especially Xiao Wu's damage output, which should not be underestimated.

With Chen Feng adding fuel to the fire, Yu Tianheng quickly fell into a disadvantageous position in the encirclement and was defeated in no time.

With Yu Tianheng eliminated, the outcome of this Soul Battle was no longer in doubt. As the remaining members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team were defeated one by one, the Hydra Team ultimately won the battle.

When the host announced the results of the battle, the surrounding audience cheered and applauded the exciting battle.

In the spectator area, Qin Ming looked at the jubilant Hydra team members and nodded with a smile.

"What an outstanding group of junior students! It seems that Principal Flander's dream is not far from being realized."

On the other side, Tang Ying sighed helplessly. He felt that he had been targeted in this match.

First, he was tricked by a sudden flash and lost an arrow. Then, he was lured out by Chen Feng's feint and lost another arrow. Finally, he made the wrong choice and failed to fire the last arrow before he was defeated.

From beginning to end, Tang Ying felt like she had fallen into a trap.

Ultimately, this is due to the limitations of the Purple Flower Bow itself. Tang Ying, who is currently a Soul Master, can only shoot three Soul Ring Arrows, which is extremely disadvantageous in Soul Battles, with a very low margin for error.

Once the enemy ambushes you, it's easy for the situation to collapse immediately.

Tang Ying believed the best way to solve this problem was to improve his cultivation level, increase the number of his spirit rings, and thus be able to fire more powerful arrows.

At the same time, he had to make a more careful decision about whether to fire the Soul Ring Arrow, and he could no longer be easily tricked by his opponents into firing arrows. This team battle was a very good lesson.

Putting aside the sadness and reflection of the Tian Dou Royal Team, everyone on Chen Feng's side was overjoyed.

As the flagship team of the Heaven Dou Grand Arena, the Heaven Dou Royal Team has a very prestigious reputation and considerable strength, having defeated level 40 teams multiple times.

However, the fact that the Heavenly Dou Royal Team was defeated by their Hydra Team is enough to demonstrate their strength and show that Chen Feng and others' special training over the past period of time has not been in vain, and their combat ability has indeed improved significantly.

It was entirely predictable that Hydra would become the new star team, and this was only a matter of reputation.

The more tangible gain is the points earned in this team battle, enough for Team Hydra to make that final push and advance to the extremely difficult-to-achieve Gold Soul Team rank.

This also signifies the end of Chen Feng and the others' special training, and they will now enter a phase of free cultivation.

Those who have already advanced to the Soul Master level strive for even greater heights, while those who have not yet reached the Soul Master level work hard towards it.

Chen Feng, in particular, had already planned his fourth soul ring and was just waiting to take action when he reached level 40.

At that time, as long as we can obtain the soul skill to maintain our mind, there will be hope that the true nature of the Yin Sword will be revealed.
