Chapter 107 "Self-Destruction" Tactics
The next day, the quarter-finals of the Fighting Spirit Competition were held as scheduled.
Wang Nan had already stood on the stage with the other players. Just like the first day, except for Ma Xiaotao and Ye Xiaosheng, all the other regular players had already appeared, but the preliminaries were replaced by Xu Sanshi, the defensive spirit master who was the most restrained spirit master, and Huo Yuhao, who had the ability of spiritual detection.
In the rest area, the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Instructor Academy has arrived here. They have always regarded Shrek Academy as their rival, so they will naturally not miss any of Shrek Academy's games.
After an old man who was the leader of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy sat down, he would glance at the Shrek rest area from time to time, especially after seeing Ma Xiaotao, he would stay there for a few more seconds.
Ma Xiaotao had participated as a preliminary member in the previous Fighting Spirit Competition, but she has never revealed her martial spirit since the start of this competition. They have already had some vague guesses about her strength.
On the ring, the referee was repeating the rules of the game, while Wang Nan focused his attention on the other team's players. As expected before the game, the captain of Yaoyang College, who was good at close combat, did not play. It seemed that he was preparing to use long-range firepower suppression to win like before.
"Game start!"
At the referee's command, he quickly retreated from the ring.
Various lights lit up on both sides of the ring. On the Shrek side, Wang Nan, Dai Yuheng, and Xixi had already rushed forward.
Over at Yaoyang College, various soul guides were fired at the same time. From Wang Nan's perspective, it seemed that they could fill up half of the arena, making it impossible to avoid them.
On the Shrek Academy side, Huo Yuhao was standing at the end of the formation. His two yellow soul rings were inconspicuous among the Soul Emperors and Soul Kings. Almost everyone thought that he was just there to make up the numbers.
However, it was with the help of this "make-up-the-numbers" person that Wang Nan was able to find a gap to pass through the dense attacks at a glance.
The first soul ring lit up, and Wang Nan's figure kept flashing, brushing past several attacks and crossing half of the arena.
Although Dai Yuheng on the other side did not seem as agile as Wang Nan, he still identified the weak point of attack and passed through the firepower network of Yaoyang Academy with his third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation.
Not to mention Xixi, as a quick attack spirit master, her speed is even faster than Wang Nan's.
At the end of the team, Xu Sanshi's second soul ring lit up, and the Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield in his hand split into multiple shields to block the other three people. With the assistance of Gong Yangmo and Huo Yuhao, he blocked the attacks flying towards them one by one.
The players from Yaoyang College seemed to have anticipated this situation and were not panicked at all. As the distance between the two sides got closer, the blue light of soul guide thrusters actually lit up behind the three players in the front row of Yaoyang College.
Through Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection, Wang Nan could see that their bodies were bearing a huge load under the thrust of the soul guide thrusters, and their faces showed painful expressions. But even so, they still endured the discomfort and rushed towards Wang Nan and the other two.
Something must be wrong when something is abnormal. Wang Nan didn't dare let them get close. The third soul ring lit up, and a golden dragon shadow rushed out from the front end of the Panlong Stick and kept moving forward, tearing tiny black cracks in the surrounding space.
Wang Nan's third soul skill was a range attack. Under its cover, the Yaoyang Academy player did not choose to avoid it. Or rather, his physical strength was not enough to withstand the impact of the soul guide thruster changing direction in the air. The light of the invincible shield lit up, and the next moment, a large number of strange soul guides were thrown out by him. With the injection of soul power, those soul guides emitted a dazzling light and exploded in front of Wang Nan.
At the moment when he was submerged by the strong white light, Wang Nan heard explosions from two other places on the ring.
In the surrounding audience seats, the audience was still cheering for the three Shrek Academy disciples who passed through the dense fire network unscathed. The next moment, they saw the three disciples being submerged in the strong light.
In the rest area, Wang Yan suddenly stood up and looked towards the ring with a look of doubt and surprise.
The Soul Fighting Competition clearly stipulates that high-damage soul guides such as fixed-type soul guides cannot be used. However, the contestants of Yaoyang College did not know what means they used, and the attacks from their soul guides were already as powerful as fixed-type soul guides.
Although it seems that those soul guides cannot achieve such an effect through long-range attacks, this method of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting oneself by eight hundred is enough to cause heavy damage to the unprepared Wang Nan and the other two.
The explosion lasted for several seconds, and finally, the dazzling light on the ring gradually dissipated.
For a moment, there was an uproar in both the rest area and the audience seats.
The three Shrek disciples on the stage were surrounded by a layer of faint light shield. Except for Xixi, who was a quick attack spirit master with weak physical strength and suffered some impact, Wang Nan and Dai Yuheng did not suffer any harm at all.
On the contrary, the three players from Yaoyang College were seriously injured by the aftermath of the explosion after the duration of the invincible shield ended.
Since the soul guide has been used in the arena, Shrek Academy simply stopped hiding it.
The light of the soul guide thruster lit up behind Dai Yueheng, but his physical strength was much stronger than those soul guides of Yaoyang College. His body kept moving forward and turning, and his tiger claws fell down and smashed the shields on the Yaoyang College players into pieces.
Xixi also had two more daggers in her hands, which were shining with blue-purple electric light. Her martial soul was the Lightning Leopard, and these two soul guides not only made up for her weak attack power, but also could cooperate with her martial soul.
Although the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy is not as good as the Royal Academy of the Sun-Moon Empire, it is still ahead of other Soul Guidance Academies. The Soul Guidance Devices it customizes for the core disciples of the Martial Soul Department are naturally not bad.
At the Sun Moon Royal Academy, the two leading elders all stared with their eyes wide open. They had fought with Shrek Academy several times in the Soul Fighting Competition, but this was the first time they saw Shrek Academy disciples using soul guides in battle.
Wang Yan on the side finally felt relieved and sat down again. He probably had figured out the other party's strategy.
Yaoyang Academy did not intend to win by team battle, but to injure the main force of Shrek through this "self-destruction" attack. In this way, they would have a chance to defeat the remaining qualifiers in the individual competition. Even if they still failed in the end...
Thinking of this, Wang Yan subconsciously glanced at the Sun Moon Royal Academy next to him. Even if Shrek won in the end, its combat power would still be affected in the subsequent competitions. When it encountered the powerful enemy of the Sun Moon Empire, the result would be hard to predict.
