Watching the battle unfold on the arena, Tang San said gravely.
"What overwhelming attack power."
"Mubai, Tianheng, Tailong. if it were you, could you withstand that?"
Changkong's strength was only around the middle of the Seven Treasure Team. If they couldn't even withstand his attacks, how could they hope to challenge Wu Qi or Feng Xiaotian?
It was difficult to judge the true force behind Changkong's attacks by sight alone.
However, Dai Mubai's Fourth Spirit Skill wasn't designed for head-on clashes. If he were forced into a direct collision with Changkong, he wasn't confident he could come out on top.
Yu Tianheng wasn't intimidated, but his real target was Wu Qi, not Changkong.
Grandmaster reminded them, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the continent's strongest support-type martial soul. If I'm not mistaken, a Spirit Ancestor-level Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Master can increase their teammates' abilities by fifty percent."
"So roughly one-third of that kid's attack power comes from the support buff. His true strength is somewhat lower, so there's no need to underestimate yourselves."
His words also served as a warning to Tang San.
"When we fight the Seven Treasure Team, we must eliminate their support Spirit Masters as quickly as possible. Their buffs have too much influence over the battle. The longer the fight drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."
At the same time, Tang San recalled their previous match against the Seven Treasure Team before the tournament.
Back then, they had ignored Ning Rongrong completely, allowing her to continuously strengthen Wu Qi and the others.
No wonder they had been so difficult to deal with. It had been his own oversight.
On the arena.
Under Changkong's relentless barrage, the Elephant Armor Team's human wall was blasted open again and again.
"Did this guy grow up eating nothing but strength?" Huyan Li muttered with an ugly expression.
At the moment, only Changkong was attacking, yet they were already struggling so badly.
If the rest of the Seven Treasure Team joined in, could their defensive wall still hold?
"Second Spirit Skill, Mammoth Strength!"
As the second Spirit Skill activated, every member of the Elephant Armor Team gained nearly a fifty percent increase in strength.
Combined with their First Spirit Skill, Impregnable Fortress, the combined strength of all seven members finally forced Changkong to retreat.
"That's enough, Changkong. Stop fighting alone," Feng Xiaotian reminded him.
This time, instead of remaining behind the team, he stepped forward himself.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple black.
Five Spirit Rings appeared around him together with his martial soul.
"Five Spirit Rings, a Spirit King!"
The entire arena erupted in an uproar.
What did a Spirit King represent?
Anyone familiar with the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament knew the answer.
In previous tournaments, Spirit Hall Academy had dominated many veteran teams thanks to having a Spirit King among its members.
Now, Heaven Dou Empire also possessed a team with a Spirit King. Did that mean they finally had a chance to challenge Spirit Hall Academy in the finals?
It was no wonder the Seven Treasure Team had been considered a favorite before the tournament.
They truly possessed that level of strength.
Moreover, Ning Fengzhi's daughter was also a member of the team. With Ning Rongrong's support buffs, who could possibly stop them?
If Spirit Hall Academy's strength remained comparable to previous years, then the Seven Treasure Team's championship was virtually guaranteed.
The most shocked people, aside from the Elephant Armor Team on the arena, were the members of Shrek Academy.
Grandmaster gently patted Tang San's shoulder.
"Tang San, until our multi-person martial soul fusion technique is perfected, do not challenge them. Don't invite humiliation."
"A Spirit King possesses a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring. Compared to a Spirit Ancestor, their strength undergoes a complete qualitative transformation."
"Against someone like that, unless his teammates stand by and do nothing, it's nearly impossible to defeat him through tactics alone."
Even Liu Erlong appeared pessimistic.
"That's right, Tang San. Fighting a battle you know you can't win will only damage everyone's morale. The cost far outweighs the benefit."
Tang San clenched his fists, his face expressionless.
"Teacher, I have my own plans."
On the arena, Huyan Li put on a brave face.
"So what if you're a Spirit King? Are you planning to take on all seven of us by yourself?"
Feng Xiaotian naturally wasn't foolish enough to fall for such provocation.
"No, no. This is a team battle. Why would I abandon my teammates just to fight you alone?"
"It's only a human wall."
"I can break it with ease."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Seven Treasure Team executed the strategy they had prepared beforehand.
Zhu Guangzhi and Changkong attacked from the left and right respectively, while Huo Wushuang charged straight through the center.
The three formed a pincer attack against the Fortress formation.
With Ning Tianyu's buffs enhancing them, all three possessed overwhelming attack power.
The defensive formation trembled violently, on the verge of collapse.
Huo Wushuang sneered.
"If you've got the guts, don't surrender. Keep fighting."
Huyan Li refused to let himself be outdone.
Facing the overwhelming assault, he abandoned the defensive formation, activated his Third Spirit Skill, and leapt into the air, attempting to crush Huo Wushuang beneath his weight.
"Hmph!"
A pair of wings spread from Feng Xiaotian's back, fierce winds swirling around him as he took flight.
Unable to fly himself, Huyan Li completely lost his balance in midair and crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Big Brother!"
Huyan Shan cried out in alarm and hurried over to help him up.
Blinded by rage, Huyan Li shouted furiously,
"Set up the cannon! Blast Feng Xiaotian out of the sky!"
At his command, the members of the Elephant Armor Team quickly assembled their formation.
The Mammoth Spiral Cannon had always been their trump card against Feng Xiaotian.
But they had overlooked one crucial fact.
Feng Xiaotian had already broken through to Spirit King. The cannon's power was no longer enough to pose a real threat.
"Fourth Spirit Skill, Demon Wolf Storm!"
"Fourth Spirit Skill, Thorn Sky Net!"
Zhou Yun's Thorn Demon Vine martial soul wove itself into a massive net that descended from above, trapping the members of the Elephant Armor Team.
The Mammoth Spiral Cannon was effectively neutralized before it could even be fired. With their strongest attack sealed off, Huyan Li and the others had no choice but to withstand Feng Xiaotian's Spirit Skill with their own bodies.
The five-minute match ended with the Seven Treasure Team claiming a flawless victory over the Elephant Armor Team through textbook teamwork and tactics.
In the spectator stands, the Shrek Seven Devils couldn't help but turn to Grandmaster.
The Seven Treasure Team clearly possessed excellent tactical coordination. They were nothing like the disorganized team they had previously dismissed.
The pressure was now on Grandmaster.
If Shrek had been in the Elephant Armor Team's place, the outcome might not have been any better.
Seeing Grandmaster placed in an awkward position, Tang San quickly spoke up.
"Alright, everyone's worrying for nothing. Didn't you notice that Wu Qi didn't even participate in this match?"
"Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and the others are already familiar with the Elephant Armor Team. This battle was probably just a perfect matchup where their tactics happened to counter the Elephant Armor Team."
"Our opponent tomorrow is also the Elephant Armor Team. We should be thinking about how to defeat them instead of wasting our energy worrying about things that don't matter."
Earlier, they had already assessed the Elephant Armor Team's strength.
Without knowing the opponent's trump cards, they would have had to reveal many of their own hidden abilities to secure victory.
Now, however, the Elephant Armor Team had exposed all of its trump cards against the Seven Treasure Team, giving Shrek valuable information for free.
After all, to qualify from the preliminary rounds, they only needed to defeat one of the four established powerhouse teams.
Liu Erlong also spoke in agreement.
"Tang San is right. Everyone should focus on our strategy. Tomorrow, we must win decisively against the Elephant Armor Team."
"As for whether the Seven Treasure Team is strong or not, it won't affect our chances of advancing. There's no need to worry about them so much."
