Chapter 33: Defeat Five at Once
Although the soul ray is only a second-level soul guide and is not powerful enough to directly eliminate a student, such intensive attacks are not something that ordinary people can withstand.
Wang Nan activated his first soul skill and used the soul guide thruster to accelerate out of the ray range.
The other students also used various methods to dodge, and one figure among them was particularly eye-catching.
The man was none other than Dai Yaoheng. He activated his soul power and a barrier rose up around him, blocking all the rays directed at him.
Wang Nan originally thought that soul masters like Dai Yuheng who possessed top-level martial souls would not use soul guides very often, but he did not expect that the fact was just the opposite. Facing the overwhelming soul light rays, his first choice was to deploy a soul guide shield.
In fact, Dai Yuheng is different from other students of the Martial Soul Department. He once followed Duke White Tiger to the battlefield and witnessed the power of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guide Corps with his own eyes. His acceptance of soul guides is even better than that of some teachers of the Martial Soul Department.
After only one round of attacks, two weaker students were eliminated.
"Let's team up to eliminate the others first, and we'll consider the spots later."
The attack from the soul light ray had just ended, and before everyone had time to catch their breath, they heard someone in the crowd shouting this.
The students also reacted very quickly, quickly approaching people they knew and preparing to fight together.
Wang Nan shook his head slightly at Gong Yang Mo who was approaching him, then looked around and set his sights on the five people who had gathered in front of him on the right.
He reached out and touched his wrist, and with a clanging sound, a black metal gun barrel appeared on his arm.
The rear end of the gun barrel wrapped around Wang Nan's entire arm, and from a distance it looked like a soul-guided cannon grew out of his shoulder.
Since Wang Nan knew the content of the qualifying competition, he was naturally prepared. This soul-guided shockwave cannon was used at this time.
The soul-guided shockwave cannon is different from ordinary soul-guided cannons. It does not cause damage by directly attacking soul masters, but instead fires extremely unstable shells condensed from soul power, causing area damage through the shock wave generated by the explosion.
There would definitely be a joint group in the melee, and Wang Nan had been waiting for the other students to gather. Although now was not the best time he had expected, it was not a loss that this cannon could hit five people.
He moved his arm and aimed forward. Strong soul power quickly poured into it, and the yellow light at the muzzle continued to condense.
Xuan Zi, who was watching the fight on the side, raised his eyebrows, moved his feet slightly, and appeared next to Wang Nan.
At the moment the yellow shell was fired, Xuan Zi stretched out his right hand, grasped it in his palm, and clenched his five fingers lightly. Both the shell itself and the shock wave it created disappeared into thin air.
Xuan Zi looked down at his right hand, slightly feeling the strength of the shot, then quickly turned around and took the five people that Wang Nan had just aimed at out of the competition venue.
Only then did Wang Nan put away the soul-guided shockwave cannon and turned to rush towards Gong Yang Mo.
With five people eliminated at the same time, the competition field suddenly became much emptier. On the other hand, Dai Yuheng, as the owner of the top martial spirit, the evil-eyed white tiger, had almost no students who could match him. In addition, his attack method came from the military, and he was quite ruthless. He also eliminated two people in a short period of time.
There were less than twenty core disciples of the right age in the entire third and fourth grades. After all this, there were only nine people left on the competition field.
Dai Yuheng glanced at Wang Nan, then pounced towards him with a tiger roar.
At this time, Wang Nan had already reunited with Gong Yang Mo. He was naturally not afraid of Dai Yueheng. He raised the Panlong Stick to meet the enemy.
However, before Dai Yuheng could get close, the temperature around him dropped suddenly, and an ice-blue halo appeared above Dai Yuheng's head. Then blue light scattered, trapping Dai Yuheng in the middle.
Wang Nan looked up and met Ling Luochen's gaze. He nodded slightly, agreeing to her joining the gang. Dai Yuheng couldn't break free for a moment, and seeing that the Panlong stick was about to fall, he spoke hurriedly.
"Junior brother, let's join forces!"
Wang Nan stopped and thought to himself.
"Junior brother, a total of five people will remain in the qualifiers. There are three of you in total. Even with me, there are still enough spots. Besides, you and I are the strongest on the field right now. Once we join forces, even if it's four against five, we have a greater chance of winning."
Wang Nan looked at the others, who seemed to be discussing joining forces, so he nodded and agreed. He believed that Dai Yuheng alone would not be a match for the three of them, but it was not an easy task. Once Dai Yuheng counterattacked and caused some damage, the remaining five would be difficult to deal with.
"You charge forward, and I'll disrupt the formation."
Wang Nan made simple arrangements.
Dai Yueheng took the initiative to propose a joint effort, so naturally he had to show some performance. After the ice prison dissipated, his third soul ring immediately lit up, his muscles swelled, black horizontal lines appeared on his skin, and he rushed towards the other five people.
Since they had joined forces, Gong Yang Mo did not hesitate to use his soul power, and three halos fell on Dai Yueheng.
Wang Nan used the same trick again, and the soul-guided shockwave cannon appeared in his hand again.
With the record of eliminating five people with one shot just now, the opponents dared not stand together and they all scattered and hid.
Then the remaining ones were eliminated one by one by Dai Yuheng.
"Okay, the game is over."
Just as Dai Yuheng eliminated four people in succession and was about to chase after the last student, Xuan Zi came down and stopped him.
"Everyone else can go back." Xuan Zi took a bite of the chicken leg and waved his hand casually.
Although the eliminated students were indignant, they did not dare to say anything more.
"Why, are you still not convinced?"
Xuan Zi has presided over the selection competitions many times, and he knows exactly what these core disciples are thinking. They simply think that the competition rules are unfavorable, or that they were eliminated before they could fully perform.
"Don't think that this rule is disadvantageous to you, and don't think that others won unfairly. When you are on the battlefield in the future, the situation will be much more complicated than it is now."
"In this melee, at least the enemies are in the open. In a real battlefield, the enemies may be defeated and killed before you even notice them. Will you still talk about the rules then?"
"As an excellent spirit master, you should learn to quickly judge the environment, arrange tactics reasonably, and then exert your full strength. You are all core disciples. If you don't even have this reaction ability, what qualifications do you have to enter the inner courtyard?"
After all this talk, it was unknown how much these students had taken in. Perhaps some of them were still struggling with what had just happened, but at least no one showed it on the surface, and they all left the fighting spirit area in silence.
"Okay, you guys wait a moment, two people will come over in a while, and I'll talk to you then."
