Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 258 Tactics and the Beginning of the Battle, Grandpa Said...

"Don't worry about these trivial matters, Tyrone. They're just a bunch of losers."

Tang San calmly took a step to the left front, blocking Tai Long's path, and met those seven pairs of eyes that seemed to be burning with flames.

Talon is now his underling, while on the other side are weaker and even weaker than him. What right do they have to be angry?

It's laughable that they hate Tailong for abandoning them. If they had tried a little harder, why would they be stuck at Blue Tyrant Academy? Did they not want to enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy? It's just that their talent and strength are lacking. Who can they blame for that?

"You're right, Third Young Master."

Tailong, who was initially hesitant to face his old teammates, seemed to have gained more courage after receiving Tang San's support. His grandfather had chosen the right path for him.

After joining the Royal Fighting Team 2, he also discovered that, compared to his previous teammates, the members on the Third Young Master's side, although not particularly friendly, were indeed stronger and more talented.

Especially the Third Young Master, who easily defeated him a week ago without even activating his Martial Soul. What a powerful figure he is, truly worthy of his emulation.

Without realizing it, he straightened his back a bit, ready to deliver a crushing defeat to them and make them face reality.

Meanwhile, in mid-air, the host had finished the warm-up, and the camera turned to the arena. The referee, satisfied with the scene of the two sides facing off, walked to the center of them.

"Both sides bow and prepare for the match."

Although neither side was very willing, since they had stepped into the ring, they had to abide by the rules. After reluctantly bowing to each other, the referee looked at the two teams.

"The first match of the first round of the qualifiers has officially begun."

After saying that, he stepped aside, and the team members on both sides quickly took their positions.

Similar to the Soul Battle, the tournament gives both sides one minute to activate their Martial Souls, which is also to better showcase them to the audience.

Staring coldly at his opponent, Tang San stretched out his right hand and shouted, "Brothers, activate your martial spirits!"

That's right. Because of his status, Tang San is the captain of this team. As the prince of Xingluo, Dai Mubai is destined not to be the backbone of the team, which is not allowed.

When both sides simultaneously released their martial spirits, and all their spirit rings were revealed to the audience, gasps of surprise immediately filled the stands.

Tang San, standing at the very front, had four spirit rings on his body: two yellow, one purple, and one black.

"The fourth ring of ten thousand years?"

On the stands, Xue Ye was taken aback at first, then spoke up excitedly. She looked at Xue Qinghe beside her, then turned to look at the three education committee members behind her, as if asking what was going on.

Xue Qinghe shook her head. She didn't know either, but she was certain that Han Li knew but hadn't told her. She would have to settle accounts with him later.

But at this moment, she could only turn her attention to the three major education commissions.

Meng Shenji, under the gazes of those around him, was somewhat stunned; he didn't know either.

The intelligence Flander provided a month ago indicated that this Tang San had only broken through to level 37, so how did he suddenly become a Soul Master? And he was still at the fourth ring, which was ten thousand years old. If he knew this, he would definitely report it immediately. He knew very well what this meant.

What he didn't know was that Flander's original plan was to take credit for Tang San's appearance today, but now he clearly wasn't in the mood for that anymore.

So he could only bite the bullet and answer, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I don't know the specifics either. Before the competition, they said there would be a surprise for us, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of surprise."

"Your Majesty, no matter what, it's certainly a pleasant surprise, especially coming from the academy. Look at the reactions of the people below. Perhaps we should watch the match first, and then have Tang San come to see you after it's over?"

Bai Baoshan, who was also a member of the Education Commission, glanced at his old friend and hurriedly tried to make amends.

Upon hearing his words, Xueye nodded, then glanced discreetly at Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen, who were eavesdropping and deep in thought, as well as Han Li, whose face still wore a smile, revealing nothing.

He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"There's no need for a meeting. Let them focus on the competition first. Since it's a surprise, let's wait until after the qualifiers and let them confess themselves. In the meantime, protect him and don't allow anyone to have contact with him."

The three education commissioners were taken aback, their eyes darting around as they understood his meaning; everyone here naturally included their allies.

They nodded and decided to provide close protection as soon as the match ended.

What they didn't know was that, among all the people on the stage, only Yu Yuanzhen truly had feelings for Tang San.

Although Salas was somewhat surprised that Tang San was able to reach the fourth ring of ten thousand years, he only felt that Tang San's talent in mental strength was good. This was no secret among the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall.

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo knew about Tang San's background and wouldn't have any ulterior motives. They only wanted to see if they could pay a certain price to obtain the method from Tang Hao.

As for Han Li and Qian Renxue, they were basically unmoved.

Therefore, in the stands, the representatives of several forces with different thoughts were all making their own calculations, creating a strangely peaceful scene.

On the arena, apart from Xiao Wu and Tai Long, whom they had already met, not only were the people from Blue Tyrant Academy stunned, but even Ning Rongrong and the others were also stunned.

When did Tang San reach level 40?

No wonder he hasn't been conducting team drills lately. Even when they get together, they only discuss tactics and don't try any actual combat. It turns out he's been hiding his true abilities.

A fiery glint flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes.

He has also broken through to the Soul Master level. If Tang San is willing to share his method, could he also add a ten-thousand-year soul ring to his fourth soul ring?

His body trembled involuntarily. If he could, even with his terrible reputation, his father might still choose him if he could defeat Davis, as long as he could keep that news a secret.

"Alright, it's just a spirit ring. Let's go down and talk about it later. Now, according to the plan, destroy them."

Tang San felt the gasps of his teammates and opponents, including the audience in the arena, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He was enjoying this feeling.

However, he quickly suppressed his emotions; this was just the beginning.

Opposite them, the students from Blue Tyrant Academy quickly recovered from their brief moment of shock.

It's just a fourth spirit ring that's been around for ten thousand years. Anyway, they already knew they wouldn't be a match for the other side. So what if they're a little stronger?

Jingling and Huang Yuan, who were at the front of the group, exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and turned to their teammates behind them: "There's nothing to be afraid of. Proceed according to the original plan. We will do our best to hold them off. Jiangzhu, please."

"As for you, just focus all your energy on attacking Talon."

The others nodded silently; it was the only thing they could do.

A crisp whistle rang out, signaling the official start of the battle.

"disease--"

Tang San shouted and charged forward together with Dai Mubai and Tailong on either side.

Ning Rongrong, who was at the back of the group, had her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda flashing, and three amplifications instantly fell on the three of them.

Oscar stood beside her, but helplessly put away his spirit ring.

Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun did not retract their martial spirits, but they also did not charge with the three in front. Instead, they guarded around the two of them to prevent the enemy from bypassing the three and attacking the back row.

That's right, this is the battle plan that Tang San and Flander devised together.

The opposing team wasn't strong, and Tailong had even explained the effects of their soul skills in detail. In their view, the opposing team only had three people who could be considered as combatants, and Jiangzhu was just a healing-type soul master.

To be precise, the only ones who can truly threaten them are Jing Ling and Huang Yuan. Once these two are dealt with, defeat is all that awaits the other side.

They sent three people to charge into the enemy lines, with Ning Rongrong providing support, making a total of four. This was already considered very generous of the opposing side.

"this……"

Upon seeing their actions, the audience in the venue immediately gasped in surprise.

If they remember correctly, the host mentioned before that the captain of the Royal Fighting Team 2 was a control-type Soul Master, right?

Why did he also rush forward, and there were only three of them? Wasn't that a bit too overconfident?

On the arena, the opposing Blue Tyrant Academy, upon discovering their actions, were initially furious, but then became delighted.

You look down on us, huh? That's great, you'll pay for it.

Their faces, which had been somewhat ferocious, now wore a twisted smile.

"Descent of the Pearl".

Jingling's voice suddenly rang out, and Jiangzhu, having received the message, no longer hesitated. Her three soul rings flashed rapidly, and her healing scepter flew up and stuck into the ground in front of her.

A halo of orange light spread out, directly blessing Jing Ling and Huang Yuan who were charging forward.

Meanwhile, Jing Ling and Huang Yuan's spirit rings lit up one after another. They were well aware of their own strength, so they immediately activated all their skills.

"Overestimating one's abilities."

Seeing that only two people rushed out from the other side, Tang San sneered and went straight to meet them. Their choice was exactly what he wanted.

He did not use the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Today, what they wanted to achieve was to destroy the opponent with extreme power to achieve a deterrent effect.

Of course, there is another purpose, which is to hide his soul skill. His Blue Silver Grass martial soul is still too weak. In the competition, it may only produce a certain effect when he uses it for the first time.

However, as long as he doesn't use it, the black spirit ring above his head will be a powerful deterrent to all opponents. Even in the midst of battle, they will have to spend some effort to pay attention to him.

That would be perfect.

A subtle smile flashed across Tang San's face. His hands were wrapped in Blue Silver Grass and soul power. With the activation of the Dragon Capture and Crane Control technique, he had already guided the bone blade that Jing Ling was about to slash at him to the side.

To his left, Huang Yuan, possessed by the Lone Wolf Martial Soul, had already clashed palms with Dai Mubai. The two of them took a step back and then began fighting each other again.

"Talon, leave this to us. The rest of you are yours. Let these losers see your power."

Tang San easily dodged Jing Ling's attacks, and even had time to command Tai Long.

"Yes, Third Young Master."

After being possessed by his martial soul, Tailong, who resembled a gorilla, rushed straight to the back row of the enemy without hesitation after hearing Tang San's words.

He knew the remaining people too well; without Jingling and Huang Yuan, none of them could stop him.

Unexpectedly, he had ample opportunity to showcase his abilities in the very first match.

As expected, Grandpa was right; following the Third Young Master was his best destiny.
