Divine Wind and Blue Sunshine both belonged to the Heaven Dou side, and their rest areas were in the same region, not far from each other.
After exchanging "friendly" glances, they both snorted coldly and walked towards the arena.
Who would want to lose if they could win?
In a moment, both sides arrived at the arena.
"Would you like to introduce yourself?"
Neuvillette asked expressionlessly, starting the usual procedure.
He repeated this procedure at the beginning of every match, and his tone and expression were always the same.
Hearing this, both sides shook their heads.
Introduce? They were all old acquaintances; there was no need for that. It was better to defeat the opponent as soon as possible and end the match.
"No need."
"No need."
After receiving responses from both sides, Neuvillette nodded.
"Both sides, retreat to the pre-match safety distance."
Neither side had any objections to this.
The arena was a square with both length and width of 200 meters.
The pre-match safety distance required both sides to maintain a distance of 60 meters. This meant the frontmost participants from each team had to be 60 meters apart, while those at the back would be even farther away.
Once all participants had reached their positions, Neuvillette announced, "The match begins!"
After saying this, Neuvillette seemed to take a step, and his figure appeared at the edge of the arena.
"Martial Soul Possession!"
Almost instantly, all the participants completed the release of their martial souls.
The Divine Wind Academy team acted differently from usual. Normally, once the match started and they released their martial souls, they would immediately use their flying soul skills to take the advantage of the air.
Today was different; they didn't take off!
This was Divine Wind Academy's strategy today!
Flying up would make them easy targets for Blue Sunshine Academy.
The air was no longer an advantage. Flying up would be meaningless.
Seeing this, Tang San frowned but didn't say anything.
Do they think not flying would give Divine Wind an advantage?
Stop kidding!
"Let me test them out first!"
Tang San shouted, and his first soul ring began to glow.
"First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Bind!"
He almost shouted out the original name of his soul skill! Fortunately, he held back in time.
As the soul skill was released, the Blue Silver Emperor in Tang San's hands rapidly grew, which glowed like a gem.
Each vine was as thick as an arm. The vines shot towards Feng Xiaotian and his team like a group of frenzied venomous snakes.
"Wind Blade!"
It was unclear which member of the Divine Wind team released their soul skill, but blades formed by wind sliced through the growing Blue Silver Emperor, cutting them off directly.
"Nicely done!"
Feng Xiaotian praised before quickly shouting, "Brothers, charge!"
Except for Tang San, the Blue Sunshine Academy team consisted of long-range attackers, "mages." Their strength, defense, and speed were not great. If Divine Wind's team could get close, Blue Sunshine would be doomed!
Tang San laughed. This was the effect he wanted!
Of course, if the first soul skill had succeeded, it would have been even better, eliminating the need for Plan B and directly taking Divine Wind out of the competition.
"Target Feng Xiaotian first!"
The Blue Sunshine team captain understood without Tang San needing to say anything.
This pinpoint strike tactic was quite effective!
They needed someone like "Tang Yin" even after he's gone to promote this tactic!
Although they wanted to kill "Tang Yin," they had to cooperate now and avoid internal conflicts.
Four team members coordinated to simultaneously use mental interference to attack Feng Xiaotian, the strongest member of the Divine Wind team.
The remaining two were ready to provide support.
This tactic had been used so many times that they knew exactly how many should face how many!
"Third Soul Skill: Mental Interference!"
Seeing Blue Sunshine use mental interference, Feng Xiaotian and his team couldn't retreat and had to stop.
"Release long-range attacks!"
Yes, the entire Blue Sunshine team used long-range attacks, but so did the entire Divine Wind team!
Seeing the soul rings of the Blue Sunshine team light up, they immediately released their long-range attacks!
After all, the Blue Sunshine tactic was too "old-fashioned," and they had already found ways to counter it!
Tang San laughed again. Did they really think his first soul skill was useless?
His goal was never to directly bind the Divine Wind members!
That was unrealistic!
"Second Soul Skill: Parasitic!"
Tang San grinned evilly and quickly activated his second soul skill!
Earlier, his first soul skill wasn't meant to entangle the opponents but to leave enough seeds on the battlefield for this moment!
His second soul skill was an instant-cast skill with no preparation time. When the soul ring lit up, the skill was immediately released.
Unlike ordinary soul skills, which required some preparation time, his could interrupt opponents' attacks directly!
As expected, the Divine Wind team fell into his trap!
He had never used this second soul skill since the start of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition!
No one among the competitors knew what his second or third soul skills were!
In an instant, Feng Xiaotian and his team were tightly bound, unable to break free.
The attacks prepared by the Blue Sunshine team captain and members fell on Feng Xiaotian.
Feng Xiaotian felt a moment of darkness, his mind instantly dazed, and he lost self-awareness temporarily.
This was the effect of mental interference, especially when multiple people used it simultaneously.
An individual's mental strength might not be stronger than the opponent's, but quantity led to quality change!
If a hundred people used such a soul skill at once, they could defeat an opponent much stronger than themselves, turning them into a fool.
"Fourth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Overlord Spear!"
The same tactic but a different release process.
The audience was shocked, and the participants were stunned.
Didn't Feng Xiaotian and his team have any defense?
They did, and they had also devised countermeasures.
But they didn't know Tang San's specific information!
That's the importance of intelligence!
Knowing your opponent could significantly increase your chances of winning.
Without knowledge of the opponent, soul skills couldn't be released recklessly.
"Captain!"
"Boss!"
The Divine Wind team members exclaimed in shock but were helpless.
It was too fast!
Just one moment of error, and their captain was already at risk of being eliminated.
Just as quickly, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear was thrown by Tang San like an arrow from a bow, flying towards Feng Xiaotian...
