Douluo Continent: I am the Ice Archer, my ice power is invincible.

Chapter 51 Xiao Han's Debut, Tianshui's Turnaround Battle

Seeing that Tang San was about to use the Clear Sky Hammer, Yu Xiaogang quickly shouted loudly.

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's voice, Xiao Wu immediately stopped what she was doing and quickly retreated to Tang San's side, using her body to block his left hand.

"Brother, what are you doing?! This is too dangerous!"

Tang San then regained his composure and withdrew the fierce glint from his eyes.

"We...lost?"

"Yeah, the master has forfeited the match. Bro, there are so many people watching, don't do anything foolish."

"Yeah. I was too impulsive. Luckily, the teacher stopped me in time. How are you? Are you hurt?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Dai Mubai and the others also gathered around.

Apart from Ma Hongjun, they all smelled of being burned.

The referee then declared that Blazing Academy had won.

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience, cheering for the Blazing Academy team.

Huo Wushuang led his team towards Tang San and his group.

"I told you long ago, you would be countered by our flames. Surrendering would have saved you some pain; you asked for it."

"Don't get too cocky. So what if you lost this match? There are still qualifying matches to come. Just you wait."

Dai Mubai was very dissatisfied.

You can lose the game, but you can't lose your fighting spirit.

"Stubborn to the end! Fine, we'll wait and see."

After Huo Wushuang finished speaking, he led his team off the stage.

Tang San and his group also stepped off the arena, and then helped Jing Ling out of the arena.

Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and others quickly came forward to greet them.

"I will treat you."

Jingling was the most seriously injured, her skin and flesh were torn open by burns.

Jiangzhu, the team's healer, quickly released her martial spirit to treat him.

Oscar gave Tang San and the others several pre-prepared recovery sausages to eat, to help them regain their strength.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang approaching, Tang San said with a dejected expression:

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I should have listened to you."

Yu Xiaogang patted Tang San on the shoulder and comforted him:

"Little San, one defeat is nothing. The opponent you encountered just happened to be the one who most effectively countered your martial spirit. We must learn from our failures and summarize our experiences. Most importantly, we must always remain rational when facing difficulties."

"Yeah, I was too impulsive just now; I almost ejaculated."

"Shh!"

Tang San was interrupted by Yu Xiaogang before he could finish speaking.

"Xiao San, there are too many people here, let's talk later when we get back."

"Um."

The Shrek team members prepared to leave.

Tang San glanced back at Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, who were chatting and laughing with Xiao Han, Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and others, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Damn it! If I had met Dugu Bo earlier, I could have used the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. I could have cultivated the Golden Body and the Blue Silver Grass could have achieved immunity to both ice and fire. Unfortunately, that flower thief stole them."

After seeing the spirit rings and strength of Shui Bing'er and the other girls, Tang San suspected that they had consumed immortal herbs.

However, he had no solid evidence.

Although Dugu Bo had previously investigated Lin Zhiruo in secret and ruled out the possibility that she was a womanizer.

However, Tang San always felt that this matter was related to Xiao Han.

If Xiao Han encounters a fire-attribute soul master in the competition and is immune to fire, then it's basically confirmed.

However, since the three elemental academies of Tianshui, Shenfeng, and Chihuo are closely connected, the Chihuo team might concede defeat when facing the Tianshui team.

Then he wouldn't get to witness Xiao Han's ability to be immune to fire.

Only when they were engaged in battle did Ma Hongjun test Xiao Han's strength.

After today, Tianshui, Shenfeng, and Chihuo remain undefeated and rank in the top three.

The Thunder and Shrek Academy each lost one game and are currently ranked fourth and fifth, respectively.

So far, Shui Bing'er, who possesses a ten-thousand-year soul ring and combines beauty and strength, has become the most popular soul master in this preliminary competition.

In the twelfth round of the competition, the Shrek team, led by Tang San, vented their anger from yesterday's defeat on the Canghui team, severely injuring the seven members and turning them into idiots.

To evade investigation, they also faked injuries and withdrew from two consecutive matches.

They were lucky; their opponents in those two games were two strong teams, the Thunder and the Kamikaze.

The qualifiers continue.

Following the Shrek team, the two strong teams, Kamikaze and Blazing Fire, also encountered the Tianshui team, but they withdrew from the competition.

The Kamikaze team faced Blazing Fire again. Due to the relationship between Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu, Kamikaze deliberately lost to Blazing Fire.

Later, Blazing Fire lost to Thunder.

Therefore, so far, only the Tianshui Academy team has maintained a perfect record.

The Thunder have only lost one game and are ranked second.

Kamikaze and Blazing Fire both lost two games, while Shrek lost three, yet they still remain in the top five.

With the qualifiers nearing their end, it's irrelevant for the weaker teams that have already been eliminated.

However, for the top-ranked teams, every game is important.

This is because it affects their bye order in the finals.

The higher the ranking of a team, the greater its advantage in receiving a bye.

The Tianshui team will undoubtedly take first place, and one of the three teams—Shenfeng, Leiting, and Chihuo—will definitely fall out of the top three.

The Shrek team has lost three matches and has lost its chance to compete for a top-three finish.

On this day, Tianshui Academy was drawn to face Thunder Academy.

This was a heavyweight match, and it was scheduled to be the final performance.

The cold air released by the Tianshui team during the match could affect the performance of the contestants on nearby stages.

Therefore, only these two academies were scheduled for that round of competition.

After the draw, Lin Zhiruo joined the team.

"Your opponents today are Thunder Academy, the strongest we've faced in the qualifiers so far. Thunder Academy is competing with Kamikaze and Blazing Fire Academy for a spot in the top three, and they'll definitely go all out."

"Isn't that great? I can finally play!"

Xiao Han was excited about his upcoming debut in the qualifiers.

Lin Zhiruo's gaze suddenly turned sharp.

"In the previous three Soul Master Competitions, Thunder Academy made us suffer greatly by using lightning attacks to counter our water element, making them our biggest nemesis. This battle will be our chance to turn the tide."

Shui Bing'er said with a firm look in her eyes:

"Dean Lin, don't worry, we will definitely defeat Thunder Academy."

Lin Zhiruo nodded.

"I believe in you. However, I must remind you that only four of you are actually capable of fighting: Xiaohan, Bing'er, Xuewu, and Yue'er."

The group looked at each other, all somewhat puzzled.

Lin Zhiruo explained:

"Lightning is as effective against water-attribute soul masters as fire is against plant-attribute soul masters. Even a Soul Master can counter a Soul Grandmaster like Hai Rou. However, their effectiveness against ice-attribute soul masters is not as strong."

In previous matches, our Tianshui team also had ice-attribute soul masters, but none of them had ever shown such high talent as Xiaohan and Bing'er.

"When you go on stage, Xiaohan, Bing'er, and Yue'er will be the main attackers, with Xuewu providing support. Our goal is to end the battle as quickly as possible. Four against seven is a huge challenge for you all."

Xiao Han and Shui Bing'er exchanged a smile.

"Mom, don't worry, we'll be fine."

Lin Zhiruo smiled and nodded, then continued:

"Ruoshui, you'll rest this round. Hai Rou, Qingbo, and Liuyu, the three of you will go up. Your main task is to protect Xuewu and, when the opponents are about to collapse, help your teammates knock them off the stage. Does everyone understand?"

"clear!"

The group was full of confidence and looked forward to the showdown with Thunder Academy.
