Douluo: I am a biologist, awakening the weapon spirit?

Chapter 232 Shui Bing'er's Desperate Counterattack
With a delicate shout from Bai Chenxiang, countless feathers flew off her body.

These feathers, imbued with the power of wind, swept towards the students from Tianshui Academy just as they regained consciousness.

As for accuracy, it's naturally not much.

But it doesn't matter, this is already a saturation attack.

Bai Chenxiang's Wind Feathers require time to condense, and the condensation speed increases as her soul power grows stronger.

In the beginning, the speed at which the Wind Feathers were formed was enough to support Bai Chenxiang in battle, but after she began to learn hidden weapon techniques from Tang San, the supply of Wind Feathers became somewhat strained.

There's no good solution to this problem; Bai Chenxiang can only work hard to cultivate and improve her soul power.

Fortunately, the existence of the Qingfeng Biying Flower solved this problem.

After consuming the immortal herb, the Azure Flower of the Breeze, Bai Chenxiang's affinity for wind-attribute power increased significantly, and her soul power also grew considerably, giving her ample resources to expend.

Just like now, after the match started, Bai Chenxiang kept scattering feathers, but at that time she was only using the conventional method.

This is mainly to avoid arousing the enemy's suspicion.

A Soul Master with three rings generally won't attract much attention in the Soul Master Competition as long as they don't act too outrageously.

The deadly move was hidden within Bai Chenxiang's seemingly insignificant attack.

In fact, the most suitable hidden weapon technique for Bai Chenxiang's fighting style is the One Thousand and One Nights, which ranks fourth in the Tang Clan's Hundred Hidden Weapon Techniques.

It is a technique that combines various hidden weapon methods, requires mastery and sufficient soul power to execute, and is the most difficult of all hidden weapon techniques in terms of skill alone.

Clearly, this is no longer suitable for white agarwood.

Let alone a thousand and one nights, she couldn't even reach a hundred nights.

But it doesn't matter. The techniques that Bai Chenxiang has learned are enough to support Chen Feng's tactics.

The Tianshui Academy students, who had just regained consciousness, were met with a barrage of attacks. Shui Bing'er was the first to react, and she used her first soul skill, Ice Seal.

But it wasn't Feng Chenfeng and his group; it was Feng himself and his teammates.

Her first spirit ring lit up, and she and the rest of the team were frozen in a block of ice. Although they could not move for a while, they were able to withstand the attack of the Wind Feather.

However, staying still would make them easy targets, so Shui Bing'er had no other choice. Shui Yue'er, the shield guard in the team, had already been cleared from the field, and the others had no skills to protect themselves.

Even if Shui Bing'er hadn't had three of her soul skills sealed, she wouldn't have had any good way to deal with this situation.

At best, the teammates can only hold on, but that would only worsen the situation further.

At this moment, Shui Bing'er had a deep realization that her side was being tactically outmatched. She had a powerful trump card, but no opportunity to use it.

But Shui Bing'er didn't give up. She still had one card in her hand, and if she used it well, turning defeat into victory was not a dream.

After withstanding Bai Chenxiang's barrage of arrows, she quickly lifted the ice seal off herself and her teammates.

The women of Tianshui Academy, who had been suppressed and unable to use their strength, were finally liberated. They were now furious and determined to teach their opponents a lesson.

However, the white agarwood in the sky chuckled at this moment:
"It's not over yet."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the audience and the female students from Tianshui Academy, the scattered white feathers on the ground suddenly moved.

Shui Bing'er realized something was wrong and shouted a warning:

"Watch your back!"

But it was too late. The dense feathers returned to Bai Chenxiang's body like swallows returning to their nests. Anyone who stood in her way would be attacked mercilessly by the wind feathers.

In an instant, the girls from Tianshui Academy were covered in blood. Only Shui Bing'er managed to block the backstab by closing her ice wings.

"Despicable, despicable." A girl from Tianshui felt extremely unwilling, but she still couldn't hold on and collapsed.

Looking at the scene on the stage, Baihe was first extremely surprised, and then overjoyed.

"See? My granddaughter has completely overcome her weakness of having no offensive capabilities. This combination of soul skills is simply a genius combination for our Min clan."

“Indeed, this attack method suits you very well.” Yang Wudi nodded in approval.

"Its only weakness is its attack power," Titan commented.

Niu Gao chuckled, "Different martial souls have their own advantages. For the old white bird, this kind of fighting style that can bring out its strengths is already quite good. It must have been designed by that person."

"There won't be anyone else." Baihe nodded firmly.

On the field, Shui Bing'er had her seriously injured teammates help each other off the stage, but she herself showed no intention of admitting defeat, even though she was the only one left from Tianshui Academy.

Chen Feng and his team also suffered casualties. Although Meng Yiran, who had previously acted as a suicide bomber, did not fall into a frenzy, she was besieged by Tianshui Academy.

Realizing she could not resist, she decisively jumped off the platform.

As for the others, they are in pretty good condition, so Chen Feng and his team now have a significant advantage.

Should we use a ten-thousand-year soul skill? Chen Feng did not relax at all despite the favorable situation; on the contrary, he became even more vigilant.

Just as he expected, after the other members of the Water Academy left the arena, Shui Bing'er's fifth spirit ring lit up.

Then, there was a deafening roar.

Chen Feng remained on guard and pondered what Shui Bing'er's fifth soul skill was.

But when the explosion rang out, he knew the answer in his heart.

Ice Blast! It's actually Ice Blast!

The question is, where did Shui Bing'er get the Ice Explosion Technique?

As a soul skill that only appeared during the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era, Ice Explosion is an extremely rare soul skill even among the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. Could it be that the Shui family helped Shui Bing'er capture an Ice Jade Scorpion? And one that knows Ice Explosion?
Chen Feng was completely baffled, but the current match was clearly more important.

Originally, Chen Feng and his team had gained an absolute advantage, but after a loud bang, the situation on the field was completely reversed.

The icy and snowy environment created by the students of Tianshui Academy has now become Shui Bing'er's resource, resulting in a powerful explosion.

Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang, who were in the air, were knocked down from the sky because they had no defense capabilities. They fell to the ground unconscious, and Zhu Zhuqing also suffered a serious injury.

Although Tang San could use Blue Silver Grass to weave a protective shield to withstand the explosion, Shui Bing'er's activation had no pre-animation, so he didn't have time to summon enough Blue Silver Grass. Since he was standing on the side, he was directly blasted out of the arena.

Dai Mubai did possess a protective soul skill, but this protection was insufficient to completely withstand the power of the Ice Explosion Technique, thus further aggravating his injuries and almost rendering him unable to fight.

Only Chen Feng was spared the threat of explosion due to the effect of the Dustless Land. After consuming some of his soul power, he appeared to be completely unharmed.

"You, how is this possible?" Shui Bing'er looked incredulous.

She knew the power of her ten-thousand-year soul skill. Even if she didn't use it at full power because she didn't want to cripple her opponent, Chen Feng shouldn't have been unharmed by the impact of the Ice Explosion Technique.

"Nothing is impossible. You have your trump cards, and I naturally have mine." Chen Feng wore a relaxed smile, but he was still holding his breath.

He had already withstood an ice explosion. If Shui Bing'er's combat power was still sufficient, then he would probably have to reveal his trump cards again.

Fortunately, after a fierce battle and the use of the powerful soul skill Ice Explosion, Shui Bing'er was now at her last gasp.

So she stopped making futile struggles and decisively chose to admit defeat.

Chen Feng finally relaxed. Seeing that the healing-type Soul Masters had gone up on stage and started healing their teammates, he wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

He asked Shui Bing'er, who was about to leave:

"Did you obtain this ten-thousand-year-old soul skill in the far north?"

Shui Bing'er was somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting Chen Feng to be able to tell her the origin of her soul ring so quickly. "Yes, it comes from the far north."

"Can you tell me how you got it? Did you catch an Ice Jade Scorpion?" Chen Feng continued to ask.

Shui Bing'er was even more surprised. "You actually know it comes from the Ice Jade Scorpion? It seems you have a deep understanding of soul beasts. But I'm sorry, I won't tell you how I obtained this soul ring."

After saying that, she left the competition area.

Chen Feng didn't stop Shui Bing'er. Although he still had doubts, there was no need to press her for an answer since she didn't want to talk about it.

Ma Hongjun and the others were not seriously injured, and with the help of healing-type Soul Masters, they gradually woke up.

Tang San only suffered minor injuries. If he hadn't been blown off the stage due to poor positioning, he would definitely still have been able to put up a fight.

"Brothers, Shui Bing'er is too difficult to deal with! We had such a good situation, and she almost turned it around." Ma Hongjun complained as soon as he woke up.

He was completely outclassed by Shui Bing'er in this match. Both of them possessed the Phoenix Martial Soul, but the difference between them was obvious to the naked eye, which made him quite unhappy.

But no matter how unhappy they were, the gap in strength was there. If Chen Feng and Tang San hadn't prepared such good tactics beforehand, they would probably have lost this match with their incomplete lineup.

Chen Feng glanced at the contestants from various academies not far away, and sighed, echoing Ma Hongjun's words:
"Yes, we've already used all our trump cards, yet we still won so narrowly. It seems we'll have a hard time making it to the end in this Soul Master Tournament."

Ma Hongjun blinked. Wasn't the reason their match was so thrilling because their lineup wasn't complete?
What does "revealing all your cards" mean?

However, since Brother Feng said that, he must have his reasons, so Ma Hongjun also sighed:
"I was hoping we could get those three soul bones as a reward, but it seems like that's unlikely. Maybe Tianshui Academy will be a better option."

Everyone present was a Soul Master. Although Chen Feng and his group's voices weren't loud, the other academy contestants and teachers could still hear them very clearly.

Some people believed these words, some were skeptical, and some thought that even if Hydra had any trump cards left, they probably didn't have many.

After all, one of the three ten-thousand-year soul skills had already been forced out, and judging from the effect of this match, it should be the soul skill that maintains consciousness.

Although the effect was good, it was not as powerful as Shui Bing'er's Ice Explosion spell, which was enough to turn the tide of battle.

By the same token, the other two ten-thousand-year soul skills of the Hydra team may not be particularly powerful either.

Some optimists even believe that the reason the Hydra team was able to obtain three ten-thousand-year fourth rings was mostly due to trickery, and that these three ten-thousand-year fourth rings were just for show and far inferior to Shui Bing'er's genuine ten-thousand-year soul rings.

Discussions erupted across the various academies. While the fear of the Hydra team's three ten-thousand-year spirit rings was not completely eradicated, it was significantly reduced.

The rest of the Hydra team could only force themselves to keep a straight face in the face of these discussions, for fear of bursting out laughing.

They did reveal their trump cards in today's game, but not many, just a little bit.

If other colleges think they have nothing left, they'll be in for a big surprise when they run into them later.

With the conclusion of the match between Hydra Academy and Tianshui Academy, the preliminary rounds in Tiandou City have also come to an end.

According to the procedure, the awards ceremony will be held soon to award the top five teams in the qualifiers with certificates of qualification to advance to the next stage of the competition, which is the ranking tournament.

The ceremony was not complicated. As announced by the host, the captains and vice-captains of the top five teams walked onto the stage.

Hydra Academy is in second place with a record of 26 wins and 1 loss. The loss was due to a forfeit caused by the Canghui Academy incident, and the opponent in that match was Shenfeng Academy.

The Shenfeng Academy also had a record of 26 wins and 1 loss. They lost to the Chihuo Academy, and everyone obviously understands why they lost.

Although Kamikaze Academy and Hydra Academy have the same record, Kamikaze Academy ranks first based on head-to-head results because Hydra Academy forfeited their match against Kamikaze Academy.

Tianshui Academy ranked third, having lost to Shenfeng Academy and Hydra Academy respectively, with a record of 25 wins and 2 losses.

The reason she lost to Shenfeng Academy was that all of Shenfeng Academy's contestants could fly, so the Ice Explosion spell couldn't be used to its fullest potential and would instead expose her trump card. That's why Shui Bing'er didn't choose to use it in that match.

Furthermore, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill could be interrupted by the Divine Wind Academy's extreme speed, so looking back at that match, Tianshui Academy probably didn't go all out.

Ranked fourth and fifth are Blazing Academy and Thunder Academy, both of which were defeated by Hydra Academy.

The former was personally executed by Chen Feng, while the latter was defeated by the rest of the team while Chen Feng was unconscious.
