Chapter 149, Round Two (Part 1)
On the classic shores of Poseidon Lake, a group of young men and women enjoyed the cool breeze from the lake. After a brief period of drinking and revelry, it was time for their afternoon team training session.
Yan Shaozhe and Wang Yan arrived early, and after Huo Yuhao and the others arrived, the next training session naturally began.
Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice, "Xiao Tao, Yu Hao, according to the group assignments this morning, you two should switch teammates."
Ma Xiaotao pouted, somewhat reluctantly switching places with Ling Luochen. This was a one-sided match, and her side was bound to lose. On the other hand, Ling Luochen, the usually aloof beauty, was now in a completely different mood, smiling broadly.
Seeing Ling Luochen's expression, Ma Xiaotao felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten shit. She immediately recalled the tragic past when Ling Luochen, with Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice, completely crushed her all the way...
Damn it!
Yan Shaozhe had been training with them these past few days, so he was naturally very clear about Ling Luochen and Huo Yuhao's situations. In order to allow the others to show more of their abilities, he still needed to increase the intensity of Huo Yuhao's training.
"Yuhao, you'll focus on support from now on. You're not allowed to use your second martial soul, and you're absolutely forbidden from lending your ultimate attributes to Ling Luochen!"
God helps me too!
Ma Xiaotao's eyes immediately lit up, and she secretly gave her teacher a thumbs up.
Upon hearing this, Ling Luochen was instantly devastated, her smile vanishing into a grimace. She had been planning how to bully Ma Xiaotao later! But Yan Shaozhe's words shattered her hopes, leaving her completely disappointed!
"Yes, Uncle Yan!" Huo Yuhao had no objections. Team battles are meant to showcase each person's strengths and characteristics; otherwise, it would become a personal skills show. In the morning, Ma Xiaotao acted rashly, and because he had Ling Luochen firmly under his control, the entire display of abilities turned into a one-on-one duel between him and Ma Xiaotao.
However, everyone needs to showcase their abilities. Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao had already finished their presentations in the morning, so now it's the turn of the others to perform.
"Xiao Tao! You're not allowed to use your sixth soul skill!"
"Teacher! Why!"
"Don't you know what you did this morning?"
Ma Xiaotao's slightly improved mood was dealt another heavy blow.
Ling Luochen raised an eyebrow at her provocatively, and the two women immediately exchanged a sharp glance, sparks flying.
As with the morning's arrangements, Yan Shaozhe gave them ten minutes to make tactical arrangements.
Ling Luochen gritted her teeth and glanced at Ma Xiaotao across from her, then asked in a low voice, "Yuhao, what are the arrangements for later?"
Huo Yuhao glanced around, nodded slightly to everyone, and said, "Sister Luo Chen, Sister Xiao Tao is in your hands. Just keep an eye on her. Senior Xu, keep an eye on Senior Brother Gongyang and switch him with him! The rest you can adapt to the situation! Senior Sister Xi Xi, Senior Brother Chen is in your hands! Senior Bei, you and Luo Luo protect Ning Tian! Leave the rest to me!"
"clear!"
After Yan Shaozhe announced the start, both sides immediately got to work.
Ling Luochen took the lead, lit up his first soul ring, and quickly summoned the Ice Staff. The terrifying chill that followed was aimed directly at Ma Xiaotao.
Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes flickered slightly, his first soul ring lit up, and a pale yellow halo immediately spread out. The shared mental detection immediately pulled the seven of his companions into Huo Yuhao's detection field of vision.
On Ma Xiaotao's side, everyone's movements seemed to slow down, and every action and every glance was displayed in detail before everyone's eyes.
Next up was Xixi, with her Lightning Leopard Martial Soul. She flashed out and engaged Chen Zifeng in a fierce battle.
With a wave of his hand, Xu Sanshi summoned his Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield and, with the aid of mental detection, kept a close eye on Gongyang Mo in the last row of the opposing team.
Ning Tianjiao, sitting in the last row, gently turned around and uttered a soul incantation, "Seven treasures turn forth, revealing glazed tiles!"
A dazzling seven-colored light was released from her body and gathered in Ning Tian's right palm, eventually condensing into a seven-colored pagoda more than a foot tall.
The next instant, Ning Tian's first and third spirit rings lit up simultaneously, and as her spirit incantation softly rang out, two amplifications immediately fell upon the members of her own camp.
At this moment, the seven of them formed a 3-1-3 formation with Ling Luochen, Huo Yuhao, and Xixi in front, Xu Sanshi in the middle, and Bei Bei, Lan Luoluo, and Ning Tian in the back.
On the other side, Ma Xiaotao and her group of seven also formed a battle formation. Ma Xiaotao charged at the front, engaging Ling Luochen in a tug-of-war, while Chen Zifeng followed closely behind, entangled with Xixi. Jiang Nannan went after Huo Yuhao, and the six forwards on both sides had found their respective opponents.
Yao Haoxuan and Lan Susu were in the middle, and finally Wang Dong'er and Gongyang Mo were flying in mid-air.
The war is about to start.
As the only two Soul Emperors in the entire arena, Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao were naturally the focus of the competition between the two sides, and the collision of ice and fire inevitably stirred up thick white steam.
Unable to use her sixth soul skill, Ma Xiaotao had no choice but to use her remaining single-target attack skills to fight Ling Luochen. When she threw her fifth soul skill, Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike, at him, Ling Luochen did not hesitate to use his sixth soul skill, Judgment Ice Spike!
The golden-red fire phoenix collided with the dark blue ice spikes, and the already misty arena was suddenly engulfed by a massive amount of white mist.
On Ma Xiaotao's side, both Chen Zifeng and Jiang Nannan were currently caught in a situation of visual interference. On the other hand, Huo Yuhao's side, thanks to his mental detection, turned the opponent's disadvantage into their own advantage.
Especially Xixi, who originally possessed an agility-based beast spirit, giving her a perception ability far superior to other spirits. Now, with Huo Yuhao's assistance, her advantages have been maximized!
Although Chen Zifeng's perception ability is quite good due to his sword practice, it is still far inferior to Xixi's.
In just a few seconds, before he could even block Xixi's previous attack, the leopard's claws, flashing with electricity, slammed into his back!
Unable to defend in time, he was forcefully pushed by Xixi into the battlefield between Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao!
The lingering force of ice and fire struck the spine of his hastily raised sword, and with the immense impact, Xixi delivered another lightning-fast leopard claw strike from behind!
"Holy crap!"
After a cry of pain, Chen Zifeng was unlucky enough to be electrocuted and knocked unconscious.
Ma Xiaotao watched this scene with a livid face, her fists clenched in hatred!
Huo Yuhao! You just wait!
However, before she could even react, a lecherous man hidden in the steamy mist secretly activated the Xuanming Replacement...
And so, without warning, a huge rainbow bird was teleported behind Ling Luochen...
