Chapter 58 Beibei's determination
The first crushing defeat greatly undermined Shrek's unique sense of pride.
The expressions of all the regular players, reserve players, and even the students who came to watch the game were very strange.
Ma Xiaotao was like a suppressed, raging volcano, and Dai Yueheng's face was gloomy.
Beibei sighed deeply. Although she felt sad about her friend's serious injury, she also knew that it was not the other person's fault. It was because Xu Sanshi had always been a mean-spirited person and his tricks were seen through.
Wang Yan suppressed his anger, but could not vent his anger on others. After all, he was the referee and had no reason to help the Sun Moon Empire. He also did not expect that Mingdu Academy would see through Xu Sanshi's plan.
"Next match, Beibei, you go. Although the opponent is a Soul King and you are a Soul Master, I believe your explosive power is enough to deal with Captain Mingdu's imperfect state... By the way, Yuhao, did your spiritual detection detect the characteristics of the opponent's martial soul? How can he pull a soul guide device from such a distance?"
Wang Yan looked at the young man in the reserve team. Although his soul power level was the lowest, his role was more useful than the soul king of the main team.
Huo Yuhao tilted his head and averted his gaze. "It should be a martial soul that can control a large area of water-attributed energy, and therefore can control soul guides far away from the body. Such a martial soul may not be too powerful, but when it comes to controlling a dedicated soul guide, it is undoubtedly quite terrifying. Facing her is like facing a huge army... Senior Brother, you must be careful when dealing with her."
Huo Yuhao, relying on his keen eyesight and the knowledge training Shrek had recently given him on the extreme individual plan, spoke the truth in one sentence.
He Caitou, his study partner, agreed with this assessment and added, "The Sun-Moon Empire generally lacks a few exceptionally powerful martial spirits. Most of their elite students, in terms of martial spirit quality alone, are comparable to those of second-rate academies in our three kingdoms. However, due to the development of soul guides, their firepower output has shifted from martial spirit skills to specialized soul guides."
"This Mingdu Academy captain, Ji Yun, if I'm not mistaken, her martial spirit is quite limited on land. But if she were to be placed in a large area of water, with her own powerful soul guide, she would be able to compete with the Soul Emperor with just her Soul King cultivation! She's not inferior to most of the top martial spirits among us."
Wang Yan's face changed slightly, no wonder!
Just now, Xu Sanshi used his soul skills to attract a large amount of water-attribute energy, which actually amplified the opponent's energy.
The water energy on the stage is still strong, what should I do...
Unlike the thoughts of most of the academies present, it was just a Mingdu Academy, but it was not worth Shrek revealing too many of his cards.
Wang Yan frowned, and suddenly his eyes caught sight of Huo Yuhao, and something in his mind moved.
"Yuhao, can your shared mental detection penetrate the isolation barrier of the competition stage? With your three-dimensional perspective as a guide, Beibei should be able to relieve a lot of pressure."
"There are too many strong teams now. Don't be stingy when others are playing. For the glory of the academy, you can only do everything possible to win now."
Beibei's expression changed slightly, and her brows furrowed slightly. "Teacher Wang, this isn't very good."
Because of his inner self-esteem and the personal teachings from his great-grandfather, Beibei is a little reluctant to accept such unscrupulous means.
Wang Yan immediately shook his head and whispered bitterly, "Have you forgotten how badly they injured Sanshi? And on the way here, if the Sun-Moon Empire hadn't protected the evil spirit master, how could our regular team have suffered such a heavy blow?"
"They should bear the consequences of their own actions!"
After these words were spoken, the Shrek regular team members who had already matured didn't think anything of it, but the other people in the reserve team and the students watching the game were silent.
Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao were the ones being trained as the focus, and their sense of identity with the academy was greater than theirs, so they remained silent for a while.
Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu looked at each other in surprise.
Several of them were students from the outer courtyard who had just entered Shrek and had not yet had such in-depth contact with the school. When they heard that the 'highly respected' teacher Wang Yan from the outer courtyard, the deputy head teacher of the class who was praised as the 'second master' in martial arts research in the past ten thousand years, could actually say such words.
It felt like something collapsed in my heart.
Wang Yan immediately made the decision, "Let's do it!"
"If we can't even defeat a mere Mingdu Academy, where will Shrek's reputation be?"
"Next round, Beibei, you go. Yuhao, you try to break through the soul barrier. Don't worry, mental power is invisible and intangible, and Yuhao's soul skills are unique, so others won't be able to detect it."
Beibei opened her mouth to refute but to no avail, and was pushed onto the stage by He Caitou, "Have you forgotten what Elder Xuan said? The people of the Sun and Moon Empire are not considered human beings."
The collective will was firm and the individual resistance was calm, so Beibei had no choice but to walk onto the stage with his head down.
I couldn't help but recall the kind and gentle face of my great-grandfather and the sloppy and greasy face of Old Xuan at the same time, and I was in a trance for a moment.
He regained consciousness soon and silently made up his mind to refuse to accept it. He could not stop the implementation of the collective will, but he had the right to retain his personal opinion and report it to his great-grandfather when he returned.
On the stage, the Xingluo referee separated the two, looked around, and said in a deep voice, "Stop talking. You are both young elite talents. Leave some space for us so we can meet again in the future. Although my strength is two or three realms higher than yours, the ever-changing arena situation can only guarantee that I will not die, but I cannot guarantee that I will not be disabled."
Female soldier Ji Yun nodded slightly, and Beibei also nodded silently.
The battle is about to begin.
Multiple water-attribute soul-guided shells were fired rapidly, and layers of purple-blue lightning arcs filled the air.
Beibei's legs were covered with dragon scales, and he stomped hard on the stage. He shot up like a crossbow arrow, and his arms shaped like dragon claws blocked in front of him, trying to get closer for the fight.
For a strong attacking soul master, naturally the most combat advantage is to close the distance with the soul instructor.
Wang Yan, who was below, saw this scene and immediately ordered the young man next to him to penetrate the soul guide barrier.
Huo Yuhao did as he was told, but after expending immense energy to penetrate the body and delivering the information to Beibei...
Rejected by the other party.
At this time, Beibei had his back to the stage and just rushed forward. His figure left an afterimage and his posture was strange and fast. His hands turned jade-colored and transformed into the Tang Sect's unique hidden weapon, instead of the fourth-level melee soul guide knife that He Caitou had given him before.
Huo Yuhao's face suddenly turned red and pale.
It seemed as if he understood the silent and resolute mentality of his senior brother at this moment.
Beibei rushed forward, facing the fierce soul-guided artillery fire, and engaged the enemy with the Tang Sect's hidden weapons, which he considered to be an entire era behind.
Darts, flying knives, and hidden needles shot out like a rain of flowers from the sky, colliding with the soul-guided rays, rapid-fire soul-guided cannons, piercing bullets, and high-explosive bombs that were also shot out.
The ordinary Tang Sect hidden weapons, which did not have much power, were like eggs against stones in front of the fierce artillery fire that could destroy the city walls. Some hidden weapons that required some skills were also blocked by the multi-layered soul guide barriers in front of them.
Outside the arena, on a high building in the imperial city, Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei and Sun and Moon Emperor Xu Tianran suddenly looked at each other.
The former had an inexplicable feeling in his eyes, and recalled a dusty historical memory, as if he saw four thousand years ago, when the Tang Sect's hidden weapons faced off against the more advanced and powerful Sun and Moon Soul Guide Cannon.
Is that young man under the stage a member of the Tang Sect?
Knowing that this is not feasible, why do it?
