Chapter 251.
Jingling's martial soul being a Skeleton enables him to utilize his soul ability to soften bones, making it difficult for enemies to hit him. However, Wang Feng cleverly used the Armored Black Thorns to cover his posterior cervical spine with a steel plate, delivering a punch that utilized the shock from the plate to induce bone hyperplasia in Jingling. This left Jingling dizzy and weakened, rendering him unable to continue fighting within five seconds.
The observers were puzzled by Jiu Yikai attack strategy, as it seemed unusual. Jingling explained that after he used bone softening, Jiu Yikai hit the steel plate instead of him directly. This caused a wild shaking of the mold formed by Jiu Yikai soul bone, resulting in numbness and increased power throughout Jingling's body.
Huang Yuan understood the significance of Jiu Yikai tactics. Despite being a soul master of the power attack system, Huang Yuan couldn't match Tai Long in strength. Wang Feng quickly defeated Huang Yuan, similar to how he defeated Tai Long.
The three substitutes were swiftly defeated, leaving Xiao Wu to challenge Jiu Yikai. Xiao Wu, an agility attack system soul master, was slightly less agile than Zhu Zhuqing due to differences in soul power. However, she confidently stepped onto the ring, ready to face Jiu Yikai.
All of Xiao Wu's soul abilities are single-target abilities, making it challenging for anyone to face her one on one, once she has entangled her opponent in a fight. This is especially true since she possesses the [Teleportation] soul ability, which makes her as elusive as a ghost. Unless you can predict where she will teleport, it's nearly impossible to catch her. Furthermore, Xiao Wu's flexible body allows her to dodge attacks even better than Jingling after using soul abilities. This makes Xiao Wu a formidable opponent in one-on-one combat.
Despite being considered the weakest in one-on-one combat, Xiao Wu implemented a strategy of stalling and not attacking from the start of the –match. Wang Feng, knowing how to deal with such a flexible opponent, quickly devised a plan to defeat Xiao Wu.
As Wang Feng moved in to attack and rushed forward, Xiao Wu also made her move. However, she couldn't match Wang Feng's speed, as he almost grabbed her shoulder. But Xiao Wu suddenly leaped, executing a 180-degree reverse flip, landing behind Jiu Yikai–.
"Here's an opening!" Xiao Wu recognized the flaw and didn't hesitate to exploit it. Although Jiu Yikai was strong, she knew that attacking without using his soul bones was him underestimating her.
Xiao Wu placed her hands on Wang Feng's shoulders, pulled one arm away, and delivered a powerful kick to his waist.
This was her first soul ability, Waist Bow!
As Xiao Wu attempted to kick her opponent's back, she noticed countless black lights spreading from her hands to her arms. Suddenly, the Armored Black Thorns covered Xiao Wu's arms, forming a pair of iron gauntlets. Xiao Wu felt as if her hands weighted thousands of kilograms, making them heavy and difficult to move.
Realizing what had happened, Xiao Wu understood that Jiu Yikai hadn't used his soul bone to attack directly. Instead, he had used the contact to attach the soul bone directly to her. She remembered Tang San's explanation that Jiu Yikai soul bone weighed at least thousands of kilograms. This heavy burden rendered her hands almost immobile, making it impossible for her to execute the Waist Bow technique effectively.
With her hands feeling like they were filled with lead, Xiao Wu's ability to borrow force from her waist was severely hindered. As a result, when her feet landed on Wang Feng's back, her strength was significantly weakened. Instantly, countless black lights covered her feet and the same happened as Xiao Wu fell directly into the ring.
Frustrated, Xiao Wu looked at Jiu Yikai with a hint of anger. At this moment, her hands and feet felt like they were covered with a layer of steel armor, weighing at least two thousand kilogranms. Even for Dai Mubai, this would have been a challenge to bear.
She's a delicate rabbit martial soul Soul Ancestor, not as physically fit as Dai Mubai. Suddenly, carrying two tons of weight she wasn't able to move. And teleporting, how can someone teleport with a two-ton weight?
"You lose," Wang Feng chuckled hoarsely.
Xiao Wu was the quickest to lose, faster than the previous substitutes, because she had no idea the opponent would defeat her this way. The audience clearly didn't expect it, and Tang San's team was also dumbfounded. After all, Xiao Wu was only at level 40 and didn't have a fourth soul ring. Though she was strong, Wang Feng had already figured out how to restrain her.
"You like to jump around? If I take your ability to jump? Then you can't do anything, right?" Wang Feng taunted.
Walking away, Xiao Wu felt very unwilling. Suddenly, she could empathize with the feeling of Huo Wushuang who was knocked away off the ring with an iron fist.
Xiao Wu's defeat left Tang San a little speechless. Plans are always grand, but reality is often harsh. Although he had considered this strategy, he thought they would at least have a chance to win. Unexpectedly, starting from Tai Long's first game, almost all four players lost quickly in succession.
"I missed something," Tang San shook his head and sighed, "While we're analyzing him, he was also analyzing us! Jiu Yikai clearly has a good grasp of our strength and can even understand our weaknesses from these four games."
From Tai Long to Xiao Wu, especially Xiao Wu, he can clearly hold back a lot of time until Jiu Yikai.
But only a slight flaw was revealed, and Jiu Yikai instantly rendered her unable to fight in a way that no one had imagined.
"From now on, we have to be careful in every game," Tang San said.
The fifth game. It was Ma Hongjun turns to battle.
Although Ma Hongjun is primarily a long-range attacker, his speed and power are not weak. It's just that his skills leans more towards long-range, and he can fly.
The swift defeats in the first four games forced Ma Hongjun into action. Because he can stall for time to the greatest extent due to his temporary flying ability.
As the game began, Ma Hongjun immediately used his third soul ability: Phoenix Wing Ascension, soaring into the air, and then watched Jiu Yikai with great vigilance.
To prevent the dark bow from appearing in the opponent's hands and shooting him down. Ma Hongjun clearly remembers Tang San's warning, "The opponent has traps all over his body. He'll catch you if you're not careful."
Ma Hongjun thought to himself, 'But if he wants to hit me with a bow and arrow, it's not that simple!'
But soon, his thoughts became reality.
He saw black energy condense in Jiu Yikai hand, and suddenly, a black bow appeared. The strings were drawn taut like a full moon, and nine black arrows surged towards Ma Hongjun like a storm.
"Huh, are they really coming? I won't get caught!" A smug light flashed in Ma Hongjun's eyes as he prepared to dodge these nine arrows. Though it's a bit challenging, it was not impossible to dodge them!
However, at that moment, the nine high-speed arrows suddenly changed, merging into one massive net in mid-air!
Seeing this, Ma Hongjun was stunned. "Damn, did the arrows just change shape in mid-air instead of turning?"
Luckily, Ma Hongjun managed to dodge in time, the net missed covering his wings but ensnared his legs instead.
Changing the trajectory of an arrow requires Wang Feng's intense concentration, but altering its shape only needs control over soul power. This was another tactic Wang Feng had prepared to face Ma Hongjun. However, without the arrow turning, the sudden change was quickly over.
After all, even if the arrow changes shape mid-air, evasion is still possible. The arrow's direction remains imperceptible.
With his feet now bound, Ma Hongjun felt as if he were carrying hundreds of pounds of iron. Seeing this, he couldn't help but despair.
"This Jiu Yikai is too cunning. Even if the net didn't fully trap me, I'm still in trouble."
The second wave of nine arrows struck, once again forming a big net in mid-air, this time only tying Ma Hongjun's waist.
Then, the third wave hit, and the fourth wave followed, covering Ma Hongjun's entire body with the net formed by Armored Black Thorns. He resembled a big bird burdened with thousands of pounds, forced to crash to the ground in frustration!
The Godwind team watching nearby looked on with cold sweat, relieved they didn't have to face the Jiu Yikai themselves. Otherwise, this hefty fellow would have been their undoing.
Though they had prepared for the arrows, the sudden transformation into large nets expanded their horizon, making them difficult to evade. However, Ma Hongjun still persisted for eleven seconds, giving Wang Feng ample time to use the Armored Black thorns to the fullest.
To Wang Feng, it was acceptable, but for Tang San and the others, it fell far short of their expectations. They had anticipated that with Ma Hongjun's flying ability and Jiu Yikai attack's, he could last at least twenty seconds or more. Yet, he was quickly defeated by the opponent.
Four waves of arrows turned Ma Hongjun into a netted phoenix. As he fell, his entire body was covered in a dense black net of Armored Black Thorns, looking rather comical.
After Wang Feng retrieved the thorns, Ma Hongjun descended, cursing all the way.
"It seems... it was a little different from our expectations," Oscar remarked, looking at the silent group of people. He tried to encourage them, saying, "Don't be discouraged, there are three more."
But at that moment, everyone could feel the immense pressure on themselves firsthand. They truly had no idea how Jiu Yikai would defeat them!
The sixth contender stepped forward, Dai Mubai.
