Chapter 138 Gu Mingxi Takes the Stage
Thanks to the timely intervention of Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen, no one was killed in the opening match.
However, injuries are inevitable.
The simultaneous firing of six small, six-barreled soul-guided cannons could temporarily suppress an army of two thousand men, let alone a mere seven-man squad.
Even though Ma Xiaotao revealed her true form as a phoenix at the first moment and used the Phoenix Meteor Shower at all costs to block the attack, some members were still affected by the barrage.
When the Mingdu team realized that the Shrek team was there to kill, they decided to fight to the death and opened fire with all their might.
Among them, the one most severely damaged by the aftershocks of the artillery fire was Yao Haoxuan, a support-type Soul King.
Amidst the deafening roar of artillery fire and the sky filled with meteors, Jing Hongchen's defensive shield hastily slammed into his side, shielding him from the vast majority of the artillery bombardment.
Even so, he suffered serious internal injuries.
Even with the healing abilities of the Shrek Academy team's accompanying Soul Saint, don't expect to be able to easily step onto the battle stage anytime soon.
Huo Yuhao's expression on the stands gradually became serious.
Not only him, but the expressions of all the members of the Di'ao Second Team were extremely solemn.
Even with a Soul Saint among the Shrek Academy team, it would be difficult for them to act aggressively in front of Huo Yuhao, whose martial soul true form is only a small one.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao and Su Tong's attributes are extremely effective against Ma Xiaotao.
Even without using their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, they could easily defeat Ma Xiaotao.
However, the artillery bombardment tactics of the Sun Moon Empire pose too great a threat.
This is just the Mingdu Soul Master Academy team.
So, does the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team have an even more terrifying soul tool configuration?
The most important aspects of soul tool manufacturing are various ingenious ideas and the ability to transform these ideas into actual weapons.
As the Sun Moon Empire's top training base for soul masters, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's teams are equipped with soul tools that are even more terrifying than those of the Mingdu team.
"It seems," Huo Yuhao said, "that we need to reassess our tactics against the Sun Moon Team."
However, when it comes to the level of shock, it was Di Tian who looked the most unpleasant.
At least Xue Di could learn some things about the soul tools produced by the Soul Forging Research Institute through Huo Yuhao.
However, Di Tian had never been to the Soul Master battlefield and was unaware of the application of war soul tools in it.
In the words of Jin Peng beside him, this is still a soul tool with relatively large restrictions in the army.
"Beast horde - it's hard to imagine how many soul beasts can survive the concentrated fire of soul-guided cannons."
Di Tian once thought that the beast tide was a last resort for soul beasts and soul masters to fight to the death.
But what he saw today made Di Tian's chances of winning against the beast tide waver.
The simultaneous firing of six level-four soul-guided cannons was enough to force a team of Soul Saints, Soul Emperors, and Soul Kings to their knees.
If we replace them with more advanced soul-guided equipment to achieve saturation bombardment, can the beast tide still crush humanity as it did in the past?
"Times have changed," Di Tian exhaled. "The rules of war between humans and soul beasts have been rewritten."
Xue Di saw Di Tian's inner worry and transmitted her voice, "Yu Hao promised me that he will go to the far north after the Soul Master Competition."
"He wants to try to create a soul tool for the Ice Jade Scorpion."
Just as Di Tian and Xue Di were talking, the chaos on the field was finally brought under control.
Without a doubt, the Mingdu Soul Master Academy team was disqualified for using an illegal soul tool, and the Shrek Academy team emerged victorious.
However, the spectators did not cheer; they were all terrified by the scene of the artillery barrage that had just taken place.
Is this what the battlefield is like?
For the first time, they realized that in the face of a true war soul tool, an individual's soul power level seemed to become less important.
Although the limited space prevented the Shrek team from fully utilizing their distance advantage, they were suppressed by artillery fire.
But there must be even more advanced war soul tools on the battlefield.
If the Heavenly Soul Empire's underhanded tactics were to use a propaganda war to shake Shrek Academy's foundation and Xu Jiawei's trust in Dai Hao...
So the Sun Moon Empire used the most direct method to demonstrate the terrifying power of Soul Guidance Technology to the people who had never seen a battlefield.
This was a consensus reached by all the Soul Master Academies of the Sun Moon Empire before they came to the Star Luo Empire.
The first team to appear, if certain of defeat, should use their uniformly equipped six-barreled small soul-guided cannons to demonstrate the war potential of soul-guided weapons to the entire continent in the most shocking way, causing the people to waver in their belief in their country.
The Mingdu team has achieved its tactical objective.
Although they were defeated, the simultaneous barrage of cannon fire at that moment, which suppressed Shrek Soul Saint, made all the viewers remember the terrifying power of soul tools.
As the medical team carried the wounded off the field, an eerie silence fell over the entire Xingluo Square.
Three Earth-type Soul Douluos, led by an Earth-type Title Douluo, have begun repairs to the arena.
Xu Jiawei's expression was unpredictable; he could certainly see the purpose of the Sun Moon Empire's demonstration to the entire continent.
"Pass down the order," he said in a deep voice, "replace all members of the security team with members of the Royal Soul Master Corps, and demonstrate our strength to the people."
Then, Xu Jiawei turned his gaze toward the Di'ao second team.
"Shrek Academy's reputation as a traditional Soul Master has been completely destroyed by Imperial Academy."
"Now they've sent out Soul Saints, but they've been suppressed by the Sun Moon Empire's Second Academy to the point that they need their help to save them."
"If we want to revive the people of the Three Kingdoms and restore their confidence in the Three Kingdoms Soul Masters, we can only rely on the people on your side."
"After all, the ultimate martial soul is the limit that traditional soul masters can achieve."
In the public's mind, the main characters of this competition are Shrek Academy and the Heavenly Soul Empire, who have now openly broken ties.
Now that Shrek Academy is being suppressed so badly by the soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire, the performance of the top soul masters of the Heavenly Soul Empire will be especially important.
Xu Jiawei sighed: "As expected, the prevailing view now is still that the three countries are allied to resist the sun and moon."
"How long can this seemingly united but actually divided alliance of three kingdoms last? —"
"And Dai Hao, how could your performance be so bad?"
By this time, the stadium repair work had been completed.
The host stood on the stage and announced the entry of the two teams for the next match.
Huo Yuhao didn't care about the next two teams; they were obviously ordinary teams that wouldn't survive the round-robin stage.
"Brother Xingyan," Huo Yuhao looked at Xingyan, "the original plan was for you to take on Tianling Academy alone."
"But now it seems the plan needs to be changed."
Xingyan nodded: "I understand. There are people from the Heavenly Soul Empire among the audience. We can't let them lose faith in Heavenly Soul."
"It's not time for the Soul Forging Research Institute to be shown to the public yet, so in the next match, we can only let Captain Huo and your team demonstrate the absolute dominance of the ultimate martial soul to give the public a boost of confidence."
The second knockout round ended quickly.
With the Shrek Team and Mingdu Team setting such a high bar, the next six team matches seemed rather dull.
The audience was still immersed in the intense battle just now, and their reaction to the conventional Soul Master duel on the field was lukewarm.
Until one by one, "The eighth elimination match, Imperial Academy Team 2 versus Heavenly Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy! Members of both teams, please enter the arena!"
The host's booming voice finally rekindled the audience's enthusiasm.
"They're here! The Triple Ultimate team is finally arriving!"
The audience immediately erupted in discussion, with countless eyes focused on the entrance passage.
The students from Tianling Academy walked onto the competition stage with trepidation.
The Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire, though nominally allies, are sworn enemies.
Now, facing a second team whose power far surpasses that of the first team of Di'ao, they couldn't help but turn pale and their legs felt weak.
Di'ao Team II made no attempt to conceal team information, allowing all participating teams to inquire.
Su Tong, a disciple of Su Wu's family in Hanjitian, possesses the same ultimate martial soul as the Limit Douluo, and is a darling of the ice and snow element.
Huo Yuhao, the undisclosed young sect leader of the Unbreakable Heavenly Poison, the Azure Dragon Earl of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the captain of the Di'ao Second Team.
Gu Mingxi, the apple of Gu Tian's eye in the Eternal Night Heaven, possesses the Golden Dragon Martial Soul with the most extreme attributes. It is said that she once fought Huo Yuhao to a standstill.
Long Aotian, Huo Yuhao's former strongest disciple of the Body Sect, overwhelmed the younger generation of Shrek Academy during his exchange student period, leaving them utterly helpless.
Even if the entire Shrek team's reserve squad were to take the field, they would still be defeated by him alone.
Nan Qiuqiu and Yu Tianlong were two dragons personally dug up by Huo Yuhao from Dragon City, which was known as the Dragon's Nest.
Ning Tian, the only one who seemed somewhat ordinary, was also a prodigy from the number one support sect on the continent.
There's just that one of the two substitutes whose whereabouts are unknown.
However, as a substitute for the Di'ao second team, his strength must not be too bad.
It can be said that each member of the Di'ao Second Team has one or more Title Douluos, or even Limit Douluos, standing behind them.
This team has such a powerful background that even Shrek Academy can hardly match it.
The only drawback of the Di'ao Second Team is that they were born too late, resulting in a relatively weak overall cultivation level, which allows Shrek Academy to still have some ambition to compete.
When the next Mingdu Tournament comes around, I'm afraid all the academies will be scrambling to get the runner-up spot.
"Theo! Theo! Theo!"
A deafening roar swept through the entire stadium.
None of the audience had ever seen an ultimate martial spirit before, and they were all eagerly anticipating seeing it unleash its power.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Di'ao II team only sent one member to the field.
The person was tall and slender, with long golden hair tied in a high ponytail, and his crimson pupils seemed to burn with fierce fire.
She just stood there, and endless light and heat emanated from her, making it almost impossible for people to open their eyes.
Gu Mingxi arrived alone, standing in the center of the arena with a cold and arrogant expression.
Even the host, who possessed the cultivation of a Soul Saint, was stunned by the noble aura emanating from her and remained speechless for a long time.
Gu Mingxi's team from Tianling Academy said, "If you can force me to reveal my martial spirit today, I will consider it a loss."
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
The Tianling Academy team members' faces instantly turned red.
Even if their overall strength is not strong, with only five Soul Masters and two Soul Venerables, they still don't deserve such contempt.
"Is it confirmed that only one member of the Di'ao Second Team will appear, and that using their Martial Soul will result in a loss?"
After confirming several times, Dai Hao finally announced: "Upon confirmation, the bet between Di'ao Team II and Tianling Academy is valid!"
"Please step back, both sides!"
"The match begins! Tianling Academy releases its Martial Soul!"
