Chapter 98.
With Zhu Zhuqing rendered combat ineffective, the remaining six members of their team faced a challenging situation. The three, who weren't in auxiliary roles posed a formidable challenge to the Wang Feng.
Dai Mubai had the highest soul power and strong defensive and offensive abilities, making it difficult for him to engage with Zhu Zhuqing. The same was true for Ma Hongjun, who had his own unique fighting style.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were also formidable opponents. Relying solely on their physical prowess, trying to outlast them within the three-minute time frame without a special strategy was nearly impossible even for Wang Feng. Oscar's mushroom sausage could also provide a temporary advantage, continuing to be effective for a minute but they needed a well-thought-out plan to capitalize on it.
The situation had become a test of strategy and adaptability for both teams and they had to rely on their ingenuity and teamwork to gain the upper hand.
The dynamics on the battlefield were becoming increasingly complex. Wang Feng's strategy to disrupt Oscar's mushroom sausages with stones had created a challenging situation for their team. If not for this disruption, Oscar's sausages could have allowed them to maintain their flight for one minute, giving them a chance to drag the battle out for the required three minutes.
Wang Feng was aware that if they wanted to eat Oscar's mushroom sausages, they would have to stay close to Oscar to prevent him from smashing the sausages with stones.
However, this tactic also played into Wang Feng's hands, as it would make it easier for him to catch them all at once.
In this context, it seemed logical that Wang Feng would target Oscar. By attacking Oscar, he would force the rest of the team, including Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tang San and Xiao Wu, to come to Oscar's aid.
However, Wang Feng's unexpected choice to head toward Tang San puzzled the Grandmaster and observers. Tang San, as a control system soul master, was one of the most challenging adversaries on the battlefield.
If the two auxiliary members were defeated, along with Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun and Wang Feng was able to neutralize them, Tang San would be left to fend for himself. Even with his capabilities, it would be extremely challenging for him to overcome Wang Feng, who possessed high speed and the ability to dodge Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. The outcome was uncertain, but it at least presented a chance.
Wang Feng's unconventional strategy was certainly creating an interesting and unpredictable battlefield scenario, one that required the team to think on their feet and adapt to the ever-evolving.
Tang San, keenly assessing the situation, realized that if Wang Feng were to attack him directly, he still had the support and advantages of his teammates, which would make it difficult for Wang Feng to end the confrontation swiftly.
Addressing Wang Feng's unexpected approach, Tang San spoke up, "Brother Feng, why didn't you target Oscar?"
He maintained a level of caution and didn't let his guard down.
"Boss Dai, Fatty, stop him! Xiao Wu, Feng'ge might be feigning an attack on me, don't engage him. Stay near Oscar!"
Tang San suspected that Wang Feng might be pretending to go after him while secretly aiming for Oscar. The Grandmaster, observing from the sidelines, nodded slightly. Tang San's plan seemed to rely on Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's control to buy time for him to employ his Cobweb soul skill. This required some time to achieve maximum range and effectiveness.
In a similar fashion to the past, Tang San had entangled Dai Mubai first and then used Cobweb when the opportunity arose.
However, in this scenario, Tang San couldn't entangle Wang Feng due to the latter's incredible speed, surpassing even Zhu Zhuqing.
Instead, Tang San had to rely on his teammates to contain Wang Feng, providing him with the precious time he needed to utilize Cobweb. He strategized, "We need to delay Wang Feng's progress. Even if he manages to break free from the cobwebs, he will then have to face three power-attacking system soul masters masters, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu. That will leave at most one minute for Feng'ge. Power attack system soul masters, especially those with beast martial soul, possess formidable physical strength, endurance and defensive capabilities. Dai Mubai, in particular, would be extremely challenging to defeat quickly."
Tang San was confident that the three of them could hold their own against Wang Feng and prevent a rapid victory. The situation was turning into a complex battle of wits and strategies, with both teams adapting to the changing circumstances on the battlefield.
Dai Mubai wasted no time and charged directly in front of Wang Feng, his White Tiger Vajra Transformation doubling his physical attributes right from the start. He made it clear that he didn't intend to use any other soul abilities this time but instead planned to block Wang Feng using his fists only.
Ma Hongjun positioned himself nearby, ready to provide cover. He announced, "If you want to defeat Tang San, you'll have to get through me first!"
Dai Mubai launched a powerful punch at Wang Feng and Ma Hongjun surrounded the area with fiery circles, limiting Wang Feng's range of movement. Ma Hongjun employed his Phoenix FireWire technique, which doubled his power, although it had a slower casting time.
If Wang Feng managed to evade the attack, Ma Hongjun wouldn't get a chance to hit him again. The flames burned the ground around Wang Feng, restricting his ability to dodge and hindering his movements.
In response, Wang Feng watched the incoming punch without hesitation and unleashed a powerful counterpunch. Even without using soul power, his physical abilities, at this moment, were several times greater than when he first faced Dai Mubai. Their punches collided with tremendous force, generating a shockwave in the air.
Dai Mubai was once again like before, was sent flying, propelled hundreds of meters away like a shooting star. Despite this, Wang Feng remained unfazed and continued to target Tang San. His relentless determination was evident as he prepared to engage Tang San once more. The battle on the square was intensifying, with both sides showcasing their incredible strength and resilience.
Dai Mubai's strong defense allowed him to withstand the powerful impact without losing his combat effectiveness. As the physically toughest member of the team, he could endure a significant amount of punishment. However, even with Dai Mubai's resilience, it was evident that it would be challenging to stop Wang Feng in a short period of time.
Wang Feng, swiftly moving through the line of fire created by Ma Hongjun's Phoenix FireWire, continued to close in on Tang San with astonishing speed.
Tang San urgently called out to Ma Hongjun, "Fatty, step aside quickly!"
Ma Hongjun was taken aback, as he believed he could hold Wang Feng back for a while.
"Why should I get out of the way?"
Tang San explained, "Hurry up! Feng'ge's speed and strength are too overwhelming for you to handle. You won't be able to stop him for more than a few seconds. Preserve your fighting strength and let him come closer. I have a plan!"
Wang Feng's speed and strength had exceeded Tang San's expectations. With a single punch, he had propelled Dai Mubai, who was in his White Tiger Vajra Transformation form, hundreds of meters into the air. This was far beyond what Tang San had anticipated.
Ma Hongjun complied, moving aside as Tang San prepared to confront Wang Feng. He couldn't fully understand Tang San's reasoning, but he trusted that Tang San had a plan. Tang San wore a determined expression as he watched Wang Feng approaching, still tens of meters away. At this distance, Wang Feng would close the gap in the blink of an eye and the Cobweb might not be fully effective.
As he prepared for Wang Feng's imminent arrival, Tang San contemplated his strategy. The master observed with interest, recognizing that Tang San had made a wise choice. Wang Feng's incredible speed made it challenging to use Cobweb in the traditional manner, as the time to prepare the technique was limited.
"Tang San, are you planning to use yourself as the center and release the cobweb binding?" the Grandmaster speculated.
"A clever decision. Wang Feng's speed is too rapid, and the time for the two of you to delay him is insufficient to utilize the Cobweb binding effectively. By standing at the center, you have a better chance because there is no distance or time limitation. This strategy will reduce the time required."
Tang San possessed extraordinary agility, employing his Purple Demon Eye to swiftly assess the enemy's movements and evade attacks. However, even with his skills and the Purple Demon Eye, he would struggle to react to Wang Feng's exceptional speed. Wang Feng's swiftness surpassed that of Zhu Zhuqing, who was known for her agility in combat. The battle was escalating and both sides were demonstrating their unique strengths and adaptability.
Tang San's dilemma lay in the fact that his mind might be quick to react but his body couldn't match the speed and strength of Wang Feng. While Tang San possessed considerable physical strength, it still fell short of what Wang Feng could muster. This was evident in his earlier exchange with Zhu Zhuqing, who had used her Hell Rush Stab to dramatically increase her short-range combat spirit skill.
Tang San chose not to use the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track technique because he understood that even with his physical abilities, he wouldn't be able to completely evade the attack. The best outcome he could hope for was to use Controlling Crane Catching Dragon technique, a defensive maneuver to find a chance. However, in this process, he would still be at a disadvantage.
As Wang Feng closed in on Tang San with his extraordinary speed and power, the situation appeared challenging. Tang San had to rely on his wits, unique techniques and a carefully crafted strategy to counter Wang Feng's relentless onslaught.
