Chapter 29: Seed Teams Unveiled
Blazing Academy's first-day results spread like wildfire. Everyone knew they had a lineup of seven Soul Masters, including a Level 49 Soul Master. This lineup was arguably the strongest in the history of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Yet, Tianshui Academy, the acknowledged powerhouse of the Heaven Dou Empire, was defeated so decisively and so quickly!
Many teams identified themselves with Tianshui Academy, finding Blazing Academy's tactics somewhat unstoppable.
First, Wang Xiaofei's continuous blanketing of the field, followed by the four Soul Masters with the Fire Crane spirit swiftly encircling the field, then Huo Wushuang's forced attack and destruction of the defensive formation, and finally, Huo Wu's immensely powerful Soul Skills devastated the field. The sequence flowed like flowing water, each movement interlocking with the next.
Neither Huo Wushuang nor Wang Xiaofei, with their immense Soul Power, could be stopped by a single individual. Furthermore, Blazing Academy boasted five students who could fly, their speed unstoppable.
Three young people, two men and one woman, stood at the front of the arena, all three with a solemn expression. The woman had flowing blonde hair and was incredibly beautiful, her eyes radiating charm. The man was incredibly handsome, his features radiating a sharpness.
The last one had fiery red hair and a resolute face. These three were the three Soul Kings of the Spirit Hall's golden generation: Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.
Xie Yue asked, "Nana, what do you think of the Blazing Academy?"
Hu Liena smiled and said, "Their tactical plan is good, but it's still far behind ours. First, their average Soul Power is five levels lower than ours. If they can't suppress our Soul Power, this strategy won't work. Second, they don't have support. While their explosive power is strong, its sustainability is poor."
"Their core is somewhat similar to ours: one strong attack, one agile attack, and one control. If we can stop their initial attack, their lineup will be destroyed. If we can stop Wang Xiaofei, prevent them from surrounding us, divide the battlefield, and force them to fight each other, we can easily defeat them."
Xie Yue and Yan nodded.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang and the others from Shrek were discussing this issue. Yu Xiaogang asked, "Xiao San, what do you think of Chihuo's tactics?"
Tang San thought for a moment and said, "Chihuo's tactics are actually very simple, but the disparity in spirit power between us at Shrek and them is enormous. We only have four Spirit Masters, while Chihuo has seven. Their average spirit power is six levels higher than ours. Even with Rongrong's boost, the gap is still quite significant. Furthermore, they have five flying spirit masters, while we only have one."
"Even if we use the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, their five flying spirit masters will be able to evade us with their immense speed and directly attack Rongrong and Xiao Ao in the back. That would be dangerous."
"For now, we can only use the Nether White Tiger to deal with Wang Xiaofei and strive for a quick victory. I'll deal with Huo Wushuang,"
Yu Xiaogang concluded. "Yes, that's the only way now."
The next match continued, and Shrek Academy easily defeated a weak Silla team, advancing to the second round.
The first round wasn't particularly impressive. The strong teams generally won.
During the second round, Blazing Academy rested, and the top three seeded teams finally made their debut. The strength of the three teams was truly impressive.
First up was Tiandou Royal Academy, with Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lengleng at the forefront. Yu Tianheng presented a commanding presence, Dugu Yan a charming presence, and Ye Lengleng a quieter one.
The Tiandou Royal Academy team's appearance was met with a toxic mist of Dugu Yan, highly corrosive, and then the players gradually harvested them.
Yu Tianheng, his body shimmering with lightning, displayed exceptional strength and speed. The Tiandou Royal Academy team boasted a well-balanced lineup, featuring players for power, agility, defense, flying, and a healer.
Xingluo Royal Academy was even more dominant. Davis, with flowing golden hair, a handsome and heroic face, and eyes reminiscent of those in fantasy novels, while Zhu Zhuyun, with her cat-like sensuality and exaggerated figure, was incredibly charming.
The Xingluo Royal Academy placed greater emphasis on offense and displayed a more dominant presence.
Davis and Zhu Zhuyun instantly merged their spirits, transforming into a massive, imposing Netherworld White Tiger, straddling the field. It pounced directly upon its opponent, extending its massive claws. This attack was comparable to that of a Soul Emperor.
The Netherworld White Tiger wreaked havoc on the field, and within a few rounds, its opponents were completely defeated, leaving only the resounding roar of a tiger.
The Spirit Hall team was the final to take the stage. Captain Xie Yue addressed the players, stating that Blazing Academy, Tiandou Royal Academy, and Xingluo Royal Academy had all demonstrated their prowess.
"We must demonstrate our strength and let everyone know who is the reigning spirit master of this continent."
The Spirit Hall trio of Soul Kings led the way, followed by four other players. The Spirit Hall team's entrance created a powerful sense of pressure. With three Soul Kings and four high-level Soul Masters, their spirit power clearly surpassed the others.
Upon their spirit's appearance, three black spirit rings awed the audience. Soul Kings in their twenties were prime candidates for Titled Douluo advancement. Xie Yue and Hu Liena walked together, a red light flashing from their bodies.
Suddenly, they transformed into a masked demonic figure wielding twin swords. A vast red mist engulfed the demonic figure as it approached the visiting team.
A scream echoed as the demonic figure dissipated, the red mist dissipating, and the entire visiting team collapsed. Clearly, the demonic figure was a fusion of their spirits, and the red mist had the power to severely obstruct vision and mental power.
The Spirit Hall team's victory sent panic through the crowd. It was clear that the demonic figure had reached the power of a Soul Emperor. A Soul Emperor against a Soul Master or Soul Clan is like an adult beating a child.
Everyone was horrified. Was this the true power of the Spirit Hall? They had instantly defeated a finalist team without even demonstrating any strength, leaving them unable to resist.
Thus concluded the second round. The strength of the three qualified teams was truly astonishing, worthy representatives of their respective nations. Shrek Academy once again drew an average team and easily advanced.
In the third round, Shrek Academy from the Tiandou region received a bye. Shrek Academy ranked second in the Tiandou region in the promotion match, only losing to Chihuo. Chihuo Academy played again, this time facing the Kamikaze team.
Kamikaze and Chihuo had interacted many times, and both sides knew each other well. After a battle, Kamikaze Academy was defeated. Captain Kamikaze looked at Huo Wu and left the field dejectedly.
Several seeded teams also advanced easily. In this way, the teams that advanced to the fourth round were Wuhundian team, Tiandou Royal Academy team, Xingluo Royal Academy team, Chihuo Academy team, Shrek Academy team, and Longkui Academy team from Xingluo.
Obviously, Longkui Academy team was much weaker than the other teams, and they only had two Soul Masters.
