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

Chapter 238 Yet another victim

In the following days, the college continued its rapid progress.

Most of the thirty teams were unable to cause any trouble for Chen Feng and his group.

The only schools that could make the Hydra team spend more time on were Tianshui, Thunder, and Shenfeng.

In the previous qualifiers, the Tianshui team was at a great disadvantage due to being outmaneuvered tactically, but almost pulled off a beautiful comeback. While the Hydra team's incomplete lineup was partly to blame, Shui Bing'er's unexpected Ice Explosion technique could not be ignored.

However, the threat posed by the Tianshui team is greatly reduced in the ranking matches, because they cannot use their powerful weapon, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, in one-on-one ranking matches.

The Ice Explosion Technique, however, is limited by the environment and its power cannot be fully utilized. Even though Shui Bing'er has the cultivation of a Soul King, she was still defeated by the combined efforts of Ma Hongjun, Bai Chenxiang, and Meng Yiran.

After Shui Bing'er was sent down, Tang San would then appear to deal with the rest of the Tianshui Academy students.

Because the other members of Tianshui Academy were not strong enough and their fighting style was not explosive, they found it difficult to quickly defeat Tang San.

Even after Tang San was forced off the field through a rapid series of attacks, the Tianshui team had very few remaining members, making them no match for Chen Feng. In the end, the Hydra team defeated the Tianshui team at the cost of four members.

Next up are the matches against Thunder Academy and Divine Wind Academy.

When facing Thunder Academy, Tang San was still the first to appear, which naturally angered Thunder Academy.

What's going on? When fighting Tianshui Academy, Tang San wasn't brought out first, but when fighting other academies, including Thunder Academy, Tang San was brought out first. Does this mean Thunder Academy is being categorized as the same as those ordinary academies?

Like Huo Wushuang, the Thunder Team players, feeling underestimated, were eager to teach Tang San a lesson.

Tang San was somewhat helpless about this. He had certainly noticed the high morale of his opponents and knew that he had attracted a lot of hatred.

To be honest, he didn't actually plan to be the first player to play against Thunder Academy.

Tang San felt that since Blue Silver Grass had no resistance to lightning, it might not be very effective against the Thunder Team's players, and might even be less effective than against Blazing Academy.

After all, the water content of Blue Silver Grass can be controlled, and it is resistant to fire.

The master also had this idea. He thought that Ma Hongjun could be the first to appear, and that Ma Hongjun could use his air and range advantages to wear down the Thunder team.

However, Chen Feng believed that this was unnecessary, because in his opinion, whether Blue Silver Grass was resistant to lightning would not have much impact on Tang San's match against the Thunder Team.

"Blue Silver Grass does conduct electricity, but as long as you keep the Blue Silver Grass connected to the earth and don't come into contact with it, Thunder Academy might not be as threatening to you as Blazing Fire Academy."

Recalling Chen Feng's words, Tang San began his match against Thunder Academy.

As Chen Feng said, it didn't matter whether the Blue Silver Grass was conductive or not. Even if the Blue Silver Grass was burned by a strong current, as long as the electricity didn't threaten Tang San, Tang San could fight Thunder Academy the same way he fought Blazing Fire Academy.

Of course, the explosive power of lightning attribute cannot be ignored, so after Tang San replaced three Soul Master opponents and consumed some of the next opponent's soul power, he also stepped down.

With such a significant advantage, the remaining members of Team Hydra naturally did not disappoint, winning the match without any major incidents.

After the match against Thunder Academy, Feng Xiaotian of Divine Wind Academy, just like in the original story, came over to Chen Feng and invited him to a one-on-one duel to decide the winner.

However, his reason was not related to Huo Wu. After all, Chen Feng and Huo Wu had no romantic relationship at all, and Feng Xiaotian would not be jealous unless he was blind.

Feng Xiaotian wanted to compete with Chen Feng because he was very interested in Chen Feng's unique sword dance and wanted to see which of his self-created soul skills was superior to Chen Feng's sword dance.

After discussing with his teammates, Chen Feng accepted Feng Xiaotian's challenge.

Firstly, he was also somewhat interested in the 36-hit combo of Gale Slash.

Secondly, he didn't want Feng Xiaotian and Tang San to meet in the competition. He was afraid that Tang San might act impulsively or be tempted by a challenge, and if he saw Feng Xiaotian perform the Swift Wind Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes, he might take out his little hammer and start messing up the Cloak Hammer Technique.

Even though the probability of such a thing happening is not very high, Chen Feng had repeatedly reminded Tang San to pay attention to secrecy, but what if it happens? Right?

If his friend gets carried away on the field and catches the Xiao Wu virus, thinking, "No, I have to show off my skills today," Chen Feng wouldn't have a chance to stop him from the sidelines.

The journey to Wuhun City will certainly be fraught with unrest.

Therefore, the steady and reliable Chen Feng didn't give his friend any chance to mess up, and Feng Xiaotian's proposal for a one-on-one duel was exactly what he wanted.

Soon, the 29th round of the ranking competition of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament will begin.

This is also the final round of the ranking tournament.

In fact, by this point, the rankings of each college have been largely determined, and the teams that have advanced to the finals have also been decided. These rankings will not change because of the result of a single match.

However, there is a rule in the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament: the ranking in the ranking matches will affect the opponent allocation in the finals.

Simply put, the bottom four teams that advance from the ranking tournament are in one pool, while the top-ranked team and the three seeded teams are in another pool.

The finals draw will select teams from these two pools to be opponents, meaning that teams from the two pools will not clash in the early stages.

If Team Hydra can win the ranking tournament, they will avoid facing the three seeded teams in the first round, which will give them an advantage.

Therefore, this first place is somewhat valuable to Chen Feng and his team, because they had a perfect record in the previous ranking matches.

Similarly, Shenfeng Academy had also won all the previous ranking matches, and they did not want to encounter three seeded teams at the beginning, especially the Spirit Hall team, which was said to have three Soul Kings.

Therefore, Feng Xiaotian will also go all out in the competition.

On the field, Feng Xiaotian and Chen Feng faced each other from afar. He suddenly smiled and said:

"Actually, accepting my challenge is a bit of a loss for you, because in a normal match, your team would have a great advantage. With Tang San around, we might not be able to outlast him."

"It doesn't matter, the result is the same," Chen Feng said nonchalantly.

In a normal match, no matter how the lineup is arranged, Feng Xiaotian would have a chance to meet Tang San, but now there is no chance of failure.

"So confident? My self-created soul skill is no simple matter. If I hadn't spent so much time on it, I should have no problem breaking through to Soul King by now," Feng Xiaotian said. Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "It only took me a month to comprehend my self-created soul skill."

Feng Xiaotian: ...

Speechless with anger, he didn't want to suffer any more, so he directly activated his martial spirit and flapped his wings to fly into the sky.

Feng Xiaotian looked down at Chen Feng and shouted:

"My self-created soul skill is called the Thirty-Six Consecutive Gale Slashes. You'd better watch out!"

"Come here." Chen Feng twirled his sword.

As Feng Xiaotian's second and third spirit rings lit up, his wings suddenly grew larger, making him look much stronger, and a bright blue light shone from his wings.

These are the effects of Feng Xiaotian's second soul skill, Twin Wolves Possession, and his third soul skill, Gale Wings. These two soul skills can significantly enhance Feng Xiaotian's attack, defense, agility, and flight capabilities.

It was with the help of these two soul skills that Feng Xiaotian was able to unleash the full power of his Thirty-Six Consecutive Gale Slashes.

After strengthening himself, Feng Xiaotian's body descended from the sky like a shooting star, yet miraculously made no sound. This indicated that the wind resistance was extremely low, demonstrating that Feng Xiaotian's control over the wind element had reached a certain level.

The blue light on his wings also completely subsided during this process, and his body and wings formed a perfect angle.

Seeing Feng Xiaotian fall from the sky, Chen Feng smiled slightly.

The original novel and the manga have two different versions of the 36-hit combo, and the way to deal with it is different for each version.

In the original novel, the Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes were physical strikes launched by Feng Xiaotian using his wings, somewhat like a monkey version of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.

The one in the comics is an energy blade, which is closer to the archer's fighting style.

Now that the version has been determined, Chen Feng has a clear idea of ​​what to expect.

In fact, in his opinion, the original physical slash was indeed more reasonable. No matter how you look at it, it would be difficult for the energy blade to achieve the effect of charging up the next strike with every strike.

A thought flashed through Chen Feng's mind. Facing Feng Xiaotian's attacking wings, he calmly moved to Feng Xiaotian's side to avoid the pincer attack, and then blocked one of Feng Xiaotian's single-wing slashes.

Feng Xiaotian took off and made a big turn in the air. The slash from his other wing came down immediately afterward, and it was even more powerful than the previous slash.

Chen Feng blocked the attack once again. He understood the essence of the Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes of Gale: it was about using speed and gravitational potential energy to continuously build up momentum. At this point, whether he blocked or countered, it would only make Feng Xiaotian's momentum stronger.

So……

Feng Xiaotian's slashing speed was very fast, and he delivered three slashes in the blink of an eye. When his fourth slash was about to fall, Chen Feng raised his sword to block it as before.

Seeing this, Feng Xiaotian felt a surge of excitement. His attacks were now connected and becoming increasingly powerful. If Chen Feng continued to defend like this, there would definitely be one attack he couldn't withstand in the end.

As for Chen Feng's sword dance, Feng Xiaotian believed that as long as his attack power was strong enough, no matter how well the sword dance was defended, it would be directly broken by his continuous slashes.

Just as he was thinking this, he noticed that Chen Feng had taken a half step back when he blocked his attack this time.

"Is it unable to hold on any longer?" The moment this thought crossed Feng Xiaotian's mind, he felt the force that had been resisting him vanish instantly.

It turned out that after Chen Feng took a half step back, his upper body leaned back as he turned the direction of his sword, causing Feng Xiaotian's wings to slide off the sword, bringing with them a series of sparks.

Not only that, Chen Feng also kindly gave Feng Xiaotian a ride when his wings were about to leave his sword.

Feng Xiaotian's combo attacks originally relied on the power derived from speed and gravitational potential energy. The reason he didn't slam directly into the ground was because his opponents would usually provide him with a reverse force, which Feng Xiaotian could then use to fly up again and launch the next attack.

However, Feng Xiaotian's slash was not met with force this time. He slid off Chen Feng's sword. If he hadn't reacted quickly and hadn't been so good at flying, he would have crashed straight to the ground, landing on his upper body.

Even though Feng Xiaotian reacted in time and successfully took flight, the momentum he had built up earlier was completely dissipated in that one strike, and he would have to start all over again for the next attack.

Off the field, Gu Yueling shook her head and sighed, "Yet another victim."

Tang San, who was sitting in front, smiled and said, "To break through Xiao Feng's Tai Chi Sword Dance, you either need to attack so densely that he can't block it, or you need to attack so powerful that he can't control it. Otherwise, you'll just become a toy that he can play with at will."

"Or we could use wide-range attacks or ethereal attacks to give him no chance to unleash his sword dance," Zhao Wuji interjected.

Tang San nodded. "That's right. Teacher Zhao's gravity field is very effective against Xiao Feng, or perhaps he could use Yi Ran's poison mist, or elemental techniques, but..."

“But apart from poison and elemental attacks, the other three attack methods basically require someone much stronger than Xiao Feng to use them, and poison doesn’t work very well on Xiao Feng.” Meng Yiran chimed in from not far away.

"Brother Feng isn't afraid of ice and fire either, sigh, this is unbearable." Ma Hongjun shook his head and sighed, silently shedding a tear for Feng Xiaotian.

Why are you even trying to do a 36-hit combo? You've run into a master like Brother Feng who controls power, now look what's happened, you can't keep up the combo anymore!
"If we really want to rank them, it seems like lightning is the only thing that works well on Xiao Feng, right?" Dai Mubai joined the conversation.

“Brother Feng himself is a lightning user, but it’s true, when Yu Tianxin from Thunder Academy competed against Xiao Feng before, the effect of a wide-range lightning strike was quite good, at least it wasn’t as torturous,” Oscar said.

"Unfortunately, in the end, he was still no match for Xiao Feng," Zhu Zhuqing said calmly.

The master smiled and summarized:

"To be honest, to defeat Xiao Feng, you need to have a significant advantage in cultivation level. At the same level, no other methods are very effective."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Flander chuckled softly:
"I really want to see our match against the Spirit Hall as soon as possible. So what if there are three Soul Kings? We'll definitely win in the end."

The master glanced at him and said, "Flander, don't even think about messing around. The finals are in Wuhun City. Be careful that you don't die before you get the money. No, you might not even get the money."

The master knew what Flanders was up to the moment he bent over; he was definitely having his old habit of gambling again.

Flander waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. How could I possibly do something like betting on the Spirit Hall team to lose in Spirit City? I wouldn't do something so suicidal."
