Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 148 Group fight
……

On the other side, in the VIP lounge where the Royal Fighting Team was located, the decorations were gorgeous, and the lighting was soft yet exuded a luxurious brilliance. The team members sat or stood casually.

"Shrek Academy? Has the Great Spirit Arena lost its mind? Why are they putting us in this kind of queue?"

"Four Soul Masters and three Great Soul Masters?"

"No, are you sure this isn't a joke?"

Looking at the match information Qin Ming provided for tonight's game, several members of the Royal Fighting Team couldn't help but laugh, their faces full of disdain for their opponents.

"Yeah, that's probably not even enough for Yanzi to fight alone," Yu Feng mocked.

"Why don't we just skip it and let Yanzi go up alone and cripple them?"

Qin Ming snorted coldly, and the laughing group instantly fell silent.

"Yanzi's strength is indeed formidable. The power of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's Poison is astonishing, possessing near-absolute dominance among those of the same level. This is undeniable. However, the world of Martial Souls emphasizes mutual reinforcement and restraint, and is not invincible. If you think that everything will be fine with her around, you are sorely mistaken." Qin Ming said solemnly, his gaze sweeping over everyone, each word deliberate and deliberate.

The main reason why the Royal Fighting Team has been able to fight its way to this point is because of Dugu Yan's terrifying crowd control and attack capabilities.

Once her Azure Phosphorus Serpent King Poison is unleashed, many teams even choose to surrender and give up.

However, once she encounters a support Soul Master with extremely high poison resistance or detoxification abilities, Dugu Yan's strength will be greatly reduced, like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled, losing its former glory.

There is a significant gap between the true strength of the Royal Fighting Team and their self-assessment!

Once Dugu Yan is countered, the Royal Fighting Team will be instantly reduced to its original form!
Despite his repeated emphasis on this point and the numerous restrictions he imposed on Dugu Yan, the children clearly did not take it to heart.

"But it seems that the opponent doesn't have a Soul Master who can counter me, right?" Dugu Yan said, looking at the information in the data with some confusion.

“Yes, the other side doesn’t have any special martial souls that can counter poison, and the two support-type soul masters don’t have any obvious detoxification abilities. What do we have to worry about?” Yu Feng said.

"If you think we might be in trouble unexpectedly, perhaps..."

Yu Feng looked at Xuan Ming, who was sitting on the sofa eating a late-night snack.

"Shall we send our Dragon Emperor onto the field?"

Dugu Yan was taken aback, then her eyes lit up. "Yes, Xuanming hasn't fought in a long time. He can't just fight in a solo battle, but there's no rule against him participating in a group battle."

She also knew about the contract Xuanming signed with the Great Soul Arena, which prevented him from engaging in individual soul battles at will. After all, once this freak stepped onto the stage, the Great Soul Arena would find it difficult to arrange suitable opponents for him. Assigning him opponents of the same realm would be a foregone conclusion, and would even feel somewhat like bullying.

However, there are no restrictions on two-person spirit battles and team spirit battles.

With more people involved, there is more uncertainty and suspense.

"There's no need for such a grand ceremony," Qin Ming coughed twice, effectively rejecting the suggestion.

If Xuanming were to take the stage, the outcome of this match would be a foregone conclusion.

He hoped that the Royal Fighting Team could suffer a setback, so they wouldn't be so arrogant and grow too smoothly. If they encountered a major setback, they would easily break down.

If Xuanming were to take action, it would only further embolden them and make them lose sight of their place.

"You can play."

Xuanming, who had been eating, put down his skewers. "However, we need to change our strategy."

"Try a different approach?" Qin Ming frowned slightly.

What kind of playing style?

“I’ll beat them all,” Xuanming said.

"..."

The lounge fell silent; no one spoke, and no one laughed.

Because they all knew that Xuanming was serious!

Moreover, even if they followed Xuanming's fighting strategy, they weren't confident!
This is the scariest thing!

"The 'everyone' you're talking about, is it the team you single-handedly took on the Royal Fighting Team?" Qin Ming asked.

"Then I think this kind of battle is still not very valuable."

As the pillar of the Royal Fighting Team, Dugu Yan's poison ability is completely ineffective against Xuan Ming! Moreover, Xuan Ming's domineering domain will greatly suppress the strength of anyone whose soul power level is lower than his!

Low-level human wave tactics are meaningless to Xuanming.

“No, I mean, the Royal Fighting Team plus Shrek Academy,” Xuanming said.

"I can take on fourteen of them by myself."

"Are you serious?" Qin Ming's expression changed.

If it were a one-against-seven situation, with Xuanming's strength, even the Royal Fighting Team wouldn't stand a chance of winning.

But if you add another team, doubling the number of people, that's a different story!
To put it bluntly, too many ants can kill an elephant!

He could be exhausted to the point of collapse!

……

"The match has been changed? What's going on?"

In Shrek Academy's lounge, after receiving news that Xuanming planned to attend the Great Soul Battle and wanted to challenge the two Soul Battle teams tonight, Supervisor Ao immediately relayed the information to Shrek Academy.

“We didn’t expect that gentleman to suddenly become so interested, but according to the rules of the Great Soul Arena, we cannot refuse his request,” said Manager Ao.

In the Grand Arena, team battles do not necessarily require equal numbers of players. If someone is willing, they can register a team on their own and participate in team battles.

But no one has ever done that before. After all, even in a two-on-one battle, the outcome is basically a foregone conclusion, let alone a team match with seven against one.

"Two teams, attack together, take him down one by one?" Flander's eye twitched violently.

"Are you sure you're not kidding?"

One-on-one battles and group battles are two completely different things!

Soul power! This is a very important point. Xuanming is ultimately just a Soul Master. His soul power reserves are not large. Even if his martial soul is special and can unleash power to face a Soul Emperor in a short time, it doesn't mean he can withstand a group attack from so many Soul Venerables!
We can wear him down!
"Of course I'm not joking, and the news has already been released," Manager Ao said excitedly.

"The match will officially begin at 3:00 AM, eight hours from now. All Soul Battles at the Soto Grand Arena will be canceled tonight to prepare for this Soul Battle match."

"Prepare? How do we prepare?" Flander asked, puzzled.

"We will use special soul tools so that more spectators in other arenas can also watch this match," said Manager Ao.

"By the way, regardless of the outcome of this match, both participating teams will receive a participation prize of 10,000 gold soul coins."

"Ten thousand gold soul coins?" Oscar and the others couldn't help but exclaim, their eyes widening as if they were seeing an immeasurable fortune. "Ten thousand gold soul coins just for stepping onto the stage?"

"Isn't that too little?" Flander said, while quickly calculating the potential gains from the match.

The match wouldn't start for another eight hours, and he was certain that the Soto Grand Arena was rapidly spreading the news to the surrounding cities. Soon, countless nobles would flock there for this match! At that time, a single VIP ticket would probably fetch tens of thousands of gold soul coins!
“Mr. Flander, I’m only talking about the prize money. If you can win the competition, both teams will receive a prize of 200,000 gold soul coins!” Manager Ao said, deliberately emphasizing his words.

"Two hundred thousand?!" Ma Hongjun and his group's eyes lit up immediately, as if they could already see the mountain of gold soul coins.

Two hundred thousand! Each of them can get at least twenty thousand gold soul coins! Twenty thousand gold soul coins! That's enough to make them nouveau riche!
"Of course, if you can win." Manager Ao left these meaningful words behind, turned and left the lounge to oversee the preparations for the Grand Soul Arena.

"Dean! We're rich!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed excitedly, waving his hands incessantly.

Two hundred thousand!

"Yeah, Dean! Fourteen people against one of them, they'd be exhausted to death!" Oscar was also quite excited.

Xuanming is a star in the Great Soul Arena!

Not just anyone has the right to engage in a spirit battle with him in the Soul Arena!
It's no exaggeration to say that even if they lose, they will become celebrities in the Soul Arena after this match!

"Don't get too excited yet. This match is very close." Ning Rongrong's expression was very serious.

Oscar's expression was somewhat unnatural. "Rongrong, this is a group fight! Although he is strong, he is still just a Soul Master with limited Soul Power reserves. If fourteen of us gang up on him, he'll be exhausted to death, right?"

“That’s true, but…” Ning Rongrong paused.

"Do you think you have the ability to hold out until his soul power is exhausted?"

"..."
