Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 105 Idol Group Tianshui Academy

After Yun Yibai left, Shrek Academy faced off against Blazing Fire Academy.

In this battle, Shrek Academy suffered its first defeat.

Although Shrek Academy had four Soul Masters, Blazing Fire Academy was stronger overall. Blazing Fire Academy, specializing in fire, greatly suppressed Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.

The fire of Blazing Academy completely suppressed Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul. Fire attribute has a strong suppressive effect on plant-type martial souls, not to mention that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is now also unable to resist the dual attributes of ice and fire.

Ma Hongjun also lost his combat advantage. His main combat ability is fire, so when fire clashes with fire, neither of them can defeat the other!

Although Blazing Fire Academy doesn't have any support-type masters, as the saying goes, the best defense is a good offense. Ever since their defeat to Martial Arts Academy, the entire Blazing Fire Academy has been holding back a lot of resentment, and that resentment hasn't completely dissipated yet.

Despite such a disadvantage, Shrek Academy could indeed defeat their opponents by using a Soul Fusion Technique, but they knew that Huo Wu possessed a forbidden Soul Skill.

Unlike the Martial Arts Academy, they also did not have the ability to fly and evade.

They still vividly remembered Huo Wu's forbidden soul skill, Huo Wu Yao Yang, which dealt area-of-effect damage that they couldn't dodge and could only endure.

They do have a backup plan, but if they do, it might be a Pyrrhic victory, and the price they pay would be too high.

They need to maintain their top-five position and conserve their strength.

After the thirteenth round of the preliminary rounds, all the academies returned to their hotels, but the atmosphere at Shrek Academy was quite gloomy.

Yu Xiaogang chaired the meeting.

"The tournament has progressed to the point where the top qualifying rounds have already gone through thirteen rounds. The teams that are currently maintaining a thirteen-round winning streak are Wuji Academy, Tianshui Academy, and Leiting Academy."

"Blazing Academy also maintains a record of twelve wins and one loss, just like us."

"Behind us are Elephant Armor Academy and Divine Wind Academy, both eyeing us covetously."

"Our Shrek Academy's overall score is still in the top five."

Yu Xiaogang continued, "However, in order to ensure that we don't fall behind the top five, we must win one match among the top three academies: Martial Arts Academy, Thunder Academy, and Heavenly Water Academy."

"Teacher, which of these three advanced soul master academies do we have the best chance of winning?" Tang San asked, because he believed that since his teacher had said so, he must have done a lot of preparation.

"Yes, Master!" Ma Hongjun was already quite convinced of Yu Xiaogang's reputation as a master. Although the master's soul power was lower than his, his theoretical knowledge was solid, and many of his theories had been successfully verified through practice.

Yu Xiaogang: "Thunder Academy is an affiliated advanced soul master academy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, one of the three upper sects. It is where the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan trains its young disciples and recruits talent."

"Thunder Academy is full of Thunder-attribute Soul Masters, just like us. They have four Soul Grandmasters among them, and their captain, Yu Tianxin, is also a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus."

Yu Xiaogang continued, "As for Tianshui Academy, all its members are ice-attribute soul masters. Among them are three Soul Grandmasters. Tianshui Academy's captain, Shui Bing'er, is sixteen years old and a level 43 control-type Battle Soul Grandmaster. However, although Tianshui Academy has one less Soul Grandmaster than us, they also possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"

"Thunder Academy and Skywater Academy are the most effective counters to plant-type martial souls like yours, so we need to discuss and devise a plan."

"However, compared to the Blazing Fire Academy's fire-attribute burst skill that has no indiscriminate range, the Heavenly Water Academy's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is much better."

After all, they also have Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's spirit fusion skill, which can easily contend with each other. As long as the threat of spirit fusion skills is eliminated, it will be relatively easy for Tang San and his group to deal with others.

As for Martial Arts Academy, Yu Xiaogang didn't mention it at all, which clearly shows that he knows very well that Shrek Academy is no match for them, even if Tang San has an external soul bone, and even if Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing have the Martial Rose Fusion Technique.

As they expected, in the fourteenth round of the qualifiers, Shrek faced Tianshui, and Thunder faced Wuji.

The match between Shrek Academy and Tianshui Academy will be first. The match between Martial Arts Academy and Thunder Academy will be second.

At this moment, the people from Wuji Academy were sitting in the spectator stands of their area, watching Shrek Academy and Tianshui Academy take the stage.

"Up until the thirteenth round of the qualifiers, Tianshui Academy's opponents were not very strong."

"Shrek Academy is the first advanced Soul Master academy that Tianshui Academy has encountered with two Soul Masters of the highest level or above."

"Of course, I'm not saying they're weak, but rather that they're lucky," Feng Xiaotian said, sitting in his chair with his arms crossed.

In the Heaven Dou City division, there are only a handful of advanced Soul Master academies that are considered top-tier.

"I never expected that the most popular idol group in mainland China, 'Sugar Water Group,' would actually be a contestant from Tianshui College."

"Sweet Soup Dumplings? What's that?" Yun Yibai really didn't know much about it, since he spent most of his time cultivating and pursuing his career. He knew about Tianshui Academy, but he really didn't know anything about these sweet soup dumplings.

Dugu Yan first rolled her eyes at Yun Yibai, but then she was quite pleased with his attitude, considering that he didn't even know about such a female idol group.

After all, no girl likes it when the man she likes has feelings for another woman.

"Boss, you've really been too engrossed in your career and cultivation for too long. You don't even know about the hottest new generation idol group on the continent," Oscar said with a sly smile.

"Do I need to know?" Yun Yibai looked at Oscar and said calmly.

"Oscar, tell me, do I... need... to... know...?" Yun Yibai repeated again.

Oscar felt a chill run down his spine: "I'm doomed, I got a little too cocky!"

Oscar instantly shrank back like a quail, trying to minimize his presence.

Feng Xiaotian stepped in to smooth things over: "The Sugar Water Group is an idol group composed of beautiful female Soul Masters from Tianshui Academy. They are not only powerful but also sweet-looking, and are very popular among young people on the mainland."

"This is a unique feature of Tianshui Academy, and also one of its sources of funding! Yi Bai, have you forgotten that Tianshui Academy also put on a performance at the opening ceremony before the competition started?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yibai frowned. "Idol groups? How come the Soul Master world is starting to do this too?"

Feng Xiaotian shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe the Soul Master world needs some fresh elements. But speaking of which, their strength is really not to be underestimated, especially that captain, Shui Bing'er. Her martial soul is the top-tier Ice Phoenix."

"Especially since they also possess a Martial Soul Fusion Technique. The strength of Tianshui Academy should not be underestimated."
