Chapter 150 Two Tigers Cannot Share One Mountain
The round-robin tournament after dawn will begin with the group that includes Zhengtian Academy, and they will be the first to face off.
Their opponent today is Shrek Academy.
Ye Wuqing looked at the invincible shield in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then took it onto the arena.
It's true that Zhengtian Academy rejects soul tools, but when it comes to national honor, Ye Wuqing still chose to accept them.
As everyone discussed, the Shrek team members were Dai Yueheng, Gongyang Mo, Ling Luochen, Xixi, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Xu Sanshi.
The team's overall strength is stronger than that of the Three Soul Kings and Four Soul Sects of Zheng Tian Academy, but it is still limited.
However, upon seeing this scene, Ye Wuqing let out a long sigh of relief.
As long as Ma Xiaotao doesn't play, it means she can still play.
Before going on stage to draw lots, Ye Wuqing imitated Jin Peng and had Yu Mengdi use Angel's Light to wash his hands.
Perhaps washing their hands really worked, because Ye Wuqing and Dai Yueheng actually drew the red ball for the team battle.
Although the final result was a defeat for Zhengtian Academy, there was no cheering for Shrek Academy from the audience.
The Shrek team made a major mistake in their teamwork this time.
Huo Yuhao looked at Ye Wuqing, who was receiving treatment from Biji, and said, "Captain Ye, you've worked hard."
Ye Wuqing smiled and said, "It's alright, at least the plan was accomplished."
Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to the Shrek team's rest area, where Gongyang Mo and Ling Luochen were receiving emergency treatment.
As for Dai Yueheng and Xixi, they were also injured and sat there silently without saying a word.
Dai Huabin, on the other hand, had been called aside by Dai Hao, who was in charge of maintaining order, and was loudly reprimanded in front of the Shrek team.
As expected, Xu Sanshi of the Shrek Academy team really did acquire the Xuanming Exchange soul skill.
At the very beginning of the match, he used this soul skill to move Ye Wuqing to the center of the Shrek Academy team.
"Speaking of which," Ye Wuqing bowed to Bi Ji to thank her for the treatment, "we really have to thank that invincible shield."
Because they had anticipated that Xu Sanshi would use the Xuanming Replacement Soul Skill, the people of Zhengtian Academy already had tactical arrangements in place for Xu Sanshi.
The instant his spirit rings lit up, Yu Mengdi's fifth spirit skill, Angel God-Sealing Slash, was ready to be unleashed.
The instant Xu Sanshi and Ye Wuqing completed their exchange, Yu Mengdi's giant sword was already hovering above Xu Sanshi's head.
Even Tang Xiaolei's Swift Arrow shot out from the Purple Flower Bow towards Xu Sanshi the instant Shangguan Can influenced Xu Sanshi through the Soul-Capturing Bell.
Shangguan Can's Soul-Capturing Bell has a soul skill type similar to Huo Yuhao's mental interference.
Given the Shrek Academy team's lack of support from spirit-type soul masters, it was precisely because of Shangguan Can's presence that Ling Luochen and Gongyang Mo were injured.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao said, "Captain Ye, soul tools are actually the same as our soul skills; we should use them when necessary."
"You can think of a soul tool as an external soul bone or an external soul ring."
Ye Wuqing sighed: "Indeed, I will give the suggestion to the dean when I get back."
After Ye Wuqing was transferred to the Shrek Academy team, it was precisely because of the invincible shield that Huo Yuhao gave him that he was able to delay Youming Baihu and Dai Yueheng for a while.
The invincible shield has a three-second invincibility period and can defend against a Contra attack.
When Ye Wuqing, whom he thought could not possibly use the Soul Guidance Device, decisively used the Invincible Shield, Dai Yueheng immediately changed his tactics.
Three seconds is enough to decide the outcome of a battle.
Therefore, he decided to have Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu use the Netherworld White Tiger, with Gongyang Mo's assistance, while Ling Luochen and Xixi would restrain them from the sidelines.
To disrupt the formation of the Zhengtian Academy.
As for Ye Wuqing, he will face the situation himself after the three-second invincibility period ends.
"Captain Ye's move was beautiful."
Huo Yuhao exclaimed, "It was precisely because of this step that the Netherworld White Tiger hesitated for a moment."
Before unleashing his invincible shield, Ye Wuqing intentionally or unintentionally took a step toward Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.
This ensures that Ye Wuqing and the Netherworld White Tiger are at the closest possible distance.
Just as Huo Yuhao had guessed, when Ye Wuqing's three-second invincibility period ended and the Netherworld White Tiger had just taken shape, the Netherworld White Tiger, which should have immediately rushed into the formation, hesitated.
Dai Huabin wouldn't be foolish enough to act recklessly, nor would he be stupid enough to go against Dai Yueheng at this critical juncture, but he did hesitate.
It was precisely because of his hesitation of one or two seconds that Ye Wuqing was able to use all of his soul skills while enduring Dai Yueheng's attack.
The dazzling golden leaves transformed into a tornado, relentlessly battling the Netherworld White Tiger and Dai Yueheng.
Without the Netherworld White Tiger's support, Xixi was entangled by Blood Wolf and Yang Yifan, and was unable to deal with Tang Xiaolei in time.
"Brother Shangguan's Soul-Capturing Bell is also quite good," Huo Yuhao turned to look at Shangguan Can, "and the coordination is exceptionally good."
Shangguan Can chuckled.
While Blood Wolf and Yang Yifan were entangling Xixi, Shangguan Can frantically shook the Soul-Capturing Bell to shake Ling Luochen's mental will.
This gave Yan'er, who possessed the Fireball Martial Soul, an opportunity.
Together with Yu Mengdi, she launched her strongest attack at Ling Luochen.
As for Tang Xiaolei, he drew his bow and shot five arrows at Gongyang Mo just before Xixi finished him off.
Yu Mengdi sighed, "Unfortunately, we still couldn't defeat the Shrek team."
After Tang Xiaolei was eliminated, Yu Mengdi and the others, despite their best efforts, were no match for Xixi, Dai Yueheng, and the crumbling Youming Baihu, and could only helplessly suffer defeat.
Zhengtian Academy lost, but in the eyes of the audience, they were still honorable in their defeat.
Because Zheng Tian Academy has already done its best.
Whether it's tactical coordination, research into the history of the opponent's sect, or setting aside prejudices to use soul tools, all of these represent their progress and changes.
On the contrary, the Shrek team had a hard-fought victory due to mistakes in executing their most basic tactics.
"What's wrong with the Shrek Academy team this year? Without the Soul Saint, they're nothing. They weren't like this in previous years."
"I think Shrek Academy is really in trouble this time. They even struggled against Zheng Tian Academy. What will they do if they encounter Di Ao Team 2 or Sun Moon Academy?"
"What to do? The Phoenix Soul Saint is returning soon! He will surely sweep the arena with invincible power!"
In the Shrek team's rest area, Dai Hao was loudly reprimanding Dai Huabin.
"Do you realize that that moment of hesitation directly put the entire team at a disadvantage!"
Dai Hao's eyes widened in fury, his voice booming like thunder: "On the battlefield, a second's hesitation can cost you your life!"
Dai Hao was genuinely afraid.
He wasn't afraid that Shrek would lose, since finishing second in the group would still allow them to advance. Once Ma Xiaotao returned, no team could stop Shrek.
What he feared was the look in Dai Huabin's eyes when he hesitated and looked at Dai Yueheng.
It was a look filled with resentment and unwillingness, as if questioning Dai Yueheng about why he was being ordered around.
Dai Hao couldn't understand why Dai Huabin would suddenly develop such strong hostility towards Dai Yueheng in such a short time.
Dai Huabin lowered his head, his fists turning white: "Father, I just—"
"Just what?!" Dai Hao shouted sternly, "There are no 'just's on the battlefield!"
"I told you to study hard with Yueheng these past few days, but what have you actually learned?!"
It would have been better if he hadn't said that.
As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Huabin suddenly raised his head: "Father, do you really not understand?"
"Why do you only ever see the eldest brother! I'm clearly working even harder than him!"
The Shrek team members all turned their attention to this.
Dai Yueheng frowned and stepped forward, wondering why Dai Huabin had suddenly erupted: "Huabin, this is your first time participating in a major competition, it's inevitable that you'll be nervous, don't..."
"Stop pretending to be tough and a good guy in front of me!"
Dai Huabin shook off Dai Yueheng's hand: "Do you think I don't know?!"
"You and—"
Snapped!
Dai Hao's face turned ashen, and he slapped Dai Huabin across the face.
Why can't you say things in private? Why make a scene in a public place and become a laughing stock?
Dai Huabin stumbled backward from the slap, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
He covered his face, his eyes filled with disbelief and anger.
Recalling what Zhu Lu said about witnessing Dai Hao secretly meeting with the Duke of Youming with Dai Yueheng, Dai Huabin's eyes grew even more resentful.
Zhu Lu quickly stepped forward to help Dai Huabin: "Huabin, let me take you back to rest first."
If Duke Youming really decides to switch his support to Dai Yueheng, then it won't just be Dai Huabin who is abandoned, but also her.
Xuanzi, Long Xiaoyao, and Yan Shaozhe hesitated for a moment as they watched the Dai family father and son arguing, but did not step forward to intervene.
Yan Shaozhe did not want to try to dissuade him.
Xuanzi didn't know how to dissuade him.
Long Xiaoyao can always connect his past with the relationship between the three people.
Dai Hao watched his youngest son's departing figure, his brows furrowed.
He turned to Dai Yueheng: "Yueheng, has Hua Bin encountered any trouble lately?"
Dai Yueheng was also completely baffled: "He's been acting a bit strange for the past few days."
"I didn't say anything about him, and everyone at Shrek Academy can testify to that."
Xuanzi finally stepped forward: "Marshal Dai, Yueheng really didn't say anything harsh to Hua Bin."
Dai Hao remained silent, and finally walked up to Xu Jiawei.
"Your Majesty," he said, "I would like to ask for a day off tomorrow to have a proper talk with Dai Huabin."
Xu Jiawei looked at Dai Hao, who was kneeling on one knee, with a mysterious and enigmatic gaze: "Go."
