The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

"The draw will begin. Both teams, please enter the waiting area and send one student to the field to draw lots together to determine the format of this match."

Wang Yan grabbed the armrest of the sofa next to him and got up, leading everyone to the waiting area on one side of the competition stage, while gesturing to Bei Bei.

Beibei nodded and stepped onto the competition stage.

The draw was conducted in the same way as in the first round-robin tournament: Beibei and the representative from Zhengtian Academy simultaneously tossed their hollow spheres into the air.

The draw results were quickly announced. The referee grabbed the red ball that fell from the hollow sphere and showed it to all the spectators while shouting the results.

"Shrek Academy will face Zheng Tian Academy in a seven-on-seven team battle. Both sides may begin their preparations."

Upon seeing that he had been drawn into a 7v7 team battle, Wang Yan couldn't help but beam with joy.

Although the team has two more inner court disciples this time, Gongyang Mo is a support-type Soul Master, so he definitely won't be able to participate in the individual elimination rounds. As for the 2-2-3 battle strategy, he can only fight in one of them.

Only in team battles can the advantages of support-type Soul Masters be better utilized.

Team battles are arguably the most advantageous way to play for everyone.

Beibei's steps became much lighter as she walked back.

"Junior Bei, you've got good luck." Gongyang Mo smiled as he approached Bei Bei, praising him softly. However, there was something ambiguous about that smile.

Bei Bei's expression froze instantly. After spending so much time together, how could he not see that this senior, Gongyang Mo, had a somewhat abnormal sexual orientation?

Xu Sanshi even put his hands on Xu Zihuang and He Caitou's shoulders, giving Bei Bei a gloating smile. If the atmosphere weren't so serious, he probably would have burst out laughing to annoy Bei Bei, this usually serious but foul-mouthed jerk.

Wang Yan waved his hand, attracting everyone's attention.

"Since none of you have much experience fighting together, I won't make too many tactical arrangements. Tianhuang will be in charge when you go on stage, and you can just play by yourselves. I believe that the students of Shrek Academy are no worse than anyone else. If you have any questions, please ask them now."

"Teacher Wang, I have no objection. I'll handle Ye Wuqing later." Chen Zifeng had a warm smile on his face, but a strong fighting spirit burned deep in his eyes.

At that moment, the referee's voice rang out again.

"Please bring both teams onto the field."

In the waiting area, Xu Zihuang, Chen Zifeng, Gongyang Mo, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and He Caitou simultaneously took steps and walked towards the stage.

Wang Yan, Ning Tian, ​​and Wang Dong, who remained, sat back down on the sofa in the waiting area.

Once on the playing platform, each side occupied one side.

On Shrek Academy's side, Chen Zifeng stood at the very front, followed by Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, and Jiang Nannan. Next was Xu Zihuang, the main control Soul Master, while Gongyang Mo, the support-type Soul Master, stood at the very back.

Once on stage, the cheers from the audience grew even louder. Shrek Academy not only had Yu Tianhuang on their side, but also two first-time regular members. On the other hand, Zheng Tian Academy boasted three powerful Soul Kings.

The audience was eagerly anticipating witnessing this sure-fire, spectacular match.

This is definitely the most watched match since the start of the round-robin tournament.

On the other side, at Zheng Tian Academy, stood a young man of average appearance and slender build. He looked to be around twenty years old and unremarkable in appearance. His only distinguishing feature was his expressionless face. Even his gaze was cold, as if nothing around him could affect his emotional state.

He is Ye Wuqing, the captain of Zhengtian Academy, a powerful attack-type battle soul king with a soul power of level 58.

Behind Ye Wuqing was a pretty young girl named Yu Mengdi, and two burly young men: Blood Wolf, a power-attack type battle soul master, and Yang Yifan, a speed-attack type soul master.

Body shape has never been a factor in determining a Soul Master's element.

Although Yang Yifan is physically strong, he is a genuine agility-based battle spirit master.

Behind the three of them were Yan'er and Tang Xiaolei, who were skilled in ranged attacks.

Tang Xiaolei was very tall, though not overly muscular. But his eyes were exceptionally bright, with a faint purple light shimmering deep within them.

Yan'er, like Yu Mengdi, was a very beautiful female student. Her long, fiery red hair cascaded down her back, making her quite charming and full of youthful energy. Her figure was also developing rapidly, almost bursting out of shape.

Standing at the very back, the support/control type Soul Master Shangguan Can was much less attractive. Although he was only around twenty years old, his hair was sparse, consisting of only a few strands. He had a flat nose, small eyes, thick lips, and was not tall.

Being able to possess all the flaws makes one, in a sense, a chosen one.

The facilities at Zhengtian Academy are quite comprehensive, and their average soul power cultivation is even higher than that of the students at Shrek Academy.

The Soul Kings Yu Mengdi and Tang Xiaolei have Soul Power levels of 54 and 53 respectively.

Shangguan Can and Yan'er's soul power was level 46. Only Xue Lang and Yang Yifan's soul power cultivation was slightly lower, fluctuating around level 42.

The referee, who had been pushed to the edge of the court, saw that both sides had stopped and shouted loudly.

"The match begins."

The players from both sides released their martial spirits almost simultaneously.

On the Zheng Tian Academy side, a golden light flashed in Ye Wuqing's eyes, and a long, narrow leaf floated silently in front of him. He held the golden leaf between his left index and middle fingers.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black—five perfectly matched spirit rings instantly appeared around him.

His martial spirit wasn't particularly unique or eye-catching, but the aura emanating from his body instantly swept across the entire area.

Behind him, Yu Mengdi's release of her martial soul was far more dazzling. A pair of pure white wings, radiating intense golden light, unfurled from her back, bathing her entire body in a soft golden glow. Her sacred aura inspired a desire to worship her.

Yu Mengdi, who also possessed an optimally matched set of spirit rings, flapped her angel wings and ascended into the air. Her first spirit ring shone brightly, and a golden longsword appeared in each of her hands. Then, she swooped down from the sky, aiming directly at Xu Zihuang, who stood in the center of the Shrek Academy group.

At the same time, Shangguan Can from Zhengtian Academy also unleashed his strongest soul skill.

Suddenly, an ancient bell appeared out of thin air in his right hand. The bell was large, with a wooden handle over a foot long. The large bell in front was dark blue, and inside were three strange little balls.

The purple fourth spirit ring shone brightly, and Shangguan Can looked solemnly at Xu Zihuang opposite him. Then, the dark blue bell was enveloped by a dark red, eerie light, and circles of light spread out from the bell, accurately encircling Xu Zihuang.

It wasn't just Wang Yan who could analyze opponents. Tianzheng Academy also made similar tactical arrangements targeting Xu Zihuang.

Xu Zihuang's strength displayed in the previous two matches posed a significant threat to Zheng Tian Academy. Especially his second soul skill, Mirror Annihilation, which possesses crowd control capabilities.

The Thousand Spirits Advanced Soul Master Academy was almost completely wiped out by this soul skill.

Apart from the three Soul Kings, the other four students from Zhengtian Academy were not much stronger than the students from Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Therefore, their initial plan was to have Shangguan Can briefly control Yu Tianhuang, and then have Yu Mengdi, who has the ability to fly and is also quite strong, unleash her full power to eliminate Yu Tianhuang as quickly as possible.

But a scene that caught everyone at Zhengtian Academy off guard occurred. Just a second after Shangguan Can used this soul skill, he bled from all seven orifices and collapsed heavily to the ground.

His eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.

The match had barely begun when Zheng Tian Academy already suffered a loss of players?

The audience was completely bewildered. Even the referee, who was officiating the match, didn't react immediately.

Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire had appeared on the city wall at some unknown time, and asked in surprise.

"Backlash from a soul skill? This kid has incredibly strong mental power."

The consequences of a backlash from a soul skill are generally determined by the difference in soul power cultivation and mental strength between the two individuals.

The one who used the soul skill was Shangguan Can, and the target of Shangguan Can's soul skill was Xu Zihuang. Both of them were Soul Masters above level 40.

However, under such circumstances, Shangguan Can suffered such a severe backlash that he lost consciousness on the spot.

That means the difference in their mental strength levels is enormous.

Chapter 176 Complete Overwhelming

"Shangguan Can?"

Ye Wuqing's cold gaze finally showed a slight change.

Shangguan Can's martial soul is quite special; it's a rare spiritual attribute martial soul. However, unlike Xu Zihuang's spiritual attribute physical martial soul, all of his spiritual attribute soul skills are released through the bell-shaped weapon martial soul in his hand.

In terms of the quality of its martial soul, it is not even in the same league as Xu Zihuang's Golden Eye.

Unfortunately, Zhengtian Academy was completely unaware of this.

After all, the soul skills and abilities that Xu Zihuang used in the first two matches, on the surface, had nothing to do with mental attributes.

The second soul skill, Mirror Annihilation, goes without saying. It is the innate soul skill of a top-tier soul beast like the Demonic Tiger Whale. Its essence is to transform tangible but intangible soul power into tangible and tangible dark red crystals to control and kill enemies.

Mental strength only serves to lock onto the target.

Although the fourth soul skill, Imprint, is indeed a pure mental attribute soul skill, unfortunately not everyone knows about the Silver Spirit Beast.

It's worth noting that even in Shrek Academy, which boasts a history spanning ten thousand years, there are only a handful of records about Silver Beasts.

Even Lang Ya and Yu Tao, who came from the Body Sect, only confirmed that Xu Zihuang was the owner of a spirit attribute Body Martial Soul after observing Xu Zihuang for a period of time.

But how could Zheng Tian Academy's foundation compare to Shrek Academy and Body Sect?

So they made a wrong decision from the very beginning.

As the team leader, Ye Wuqing did not panic at this moment, but calmly formulated a strategy to deal with the situation.

"Come back first," Ye Wuqing said in a low voice.

He was referring, of course, to Yu Mengdi, who had ventured deep into enemy territory alone from the air.

Without Shangguan Can's cooperation, even if Yu Mengdi's own martial soul was powerful, she would not be able to withstand the siege of the Shrek Academy students.

If Yu Mengdi is besieged by the Shrek Academy students, he probably won't have the strength to help her.

Although Ye Wuqing was arrogant, it didn't mean he was brainless. Moreover, he felt immense pressure from Chen Zifeng, an inner disciple of Shrek Academy.

Above the arena, under the influence of the Angelic Martial Soul, Yu Mengdi's eyes turned a brilliant gold, filled with a noble and sacred aura.

Xu Zihuang also has bright golden eyes, but he has more of an indifferent air about him, standing on a cloud and looking down on all things in the world.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Yu Mengdi held the sacred twin swords, formed from her first soul skill, protectively in front of her. Possessing the top-tier martial soul of Angel, she had been extremely arrogant since childhood. In terms of future potential, she even surpassed Ye Wuqing.

But at this moment, she had to admit that Yu Tianhuang had something that attracted her.

Hearing Ye Wuqing's reminder, she dared not be careless in the slightest and quickly flapped her pure white wings to rise higher and backward.

Yu Mengdi witnessed Xu Zihuang's two matches representing Shrek Academy firsthand. He possessed powerful crowd control skills and a bizarre soul skill capable of copying an opponent's abilities.

Therefore, her first reaction was to quickly create distance without using her soul skills.

Under normal circumstances, the most troublesome group control skills among control-type Soul Masters are powerful, but their attack range is significantly limited.

The arena is 100 meters long and 100 meters wide, and the highest point of the semi-circular soul guide shield is nearly 100 meters high. She did not believe that Yu Tianhuang's soul skill could cover the entire space of the arena.

But this was just her own wishful thinking.

From Shangguan Can suffering the backlash of the soul skill to Yu Mengdi retreating, all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

The distance between Shrek Academy and Zhengtian Academy was less than 100 meters, and this instant was enough for both sides to close the distance to within attack range.

Leading the charge on Shrek Academy's side was undoubtedly Chen Zifeng, a powerful attack-type battle spirit master with a spirit power level of 57.
