Another one courting death? Then I shall grant your wish!
"Fifth soul skill, Turtle's Escape Shell!"
With a single glance, a man beside unleashed his fifth soul skill.
"Boom——"
The two attacks collided, erupting in a furious cacophony.
"Pfft——"
Chancellor Erlong was sent flying.
Blood spurted from his mouth.
His entire demeanor was one of extreme pain.
"Chancellor Erlong!!"
Chancellor Erlong's mouth was dripping with blood, which terrified everyone.
Normally, wasn't Chancellor Erlong amazingly powerful? What happened, why couldn't he withstand the enemy's attack?
"Dean Flender, Chancellor Erlong, I'll help you too, third soul skill White Tiger Diamond Transformation! Fourth Soul Skill White Tiger Meteor Shower!"
Truthfully, in Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai was just an irritable master.
After all, the opponent was just a super loser.
Let's not bother about a loser, but the key point was that this loser always flaunted himself.
Apart from Master, there was also the mindless Tang San.
Foolishly filial.
At least that's what Dai Mubai thought of Tang San.
He felt that the other party was somewhat foolish.
What kind of person was Master? He was clearly using you as his pawn.
To put it accurately, he was exploiting you.
Of course, if the other party was willing to be used, then there was nothing to be said.
But now, he had no time to concern himself with that, as Dean Flender and Chancellor Erlong were in trouble.
Asking himself honestly, Dean Flender had been very good to him, one might say he was his own mentor.
And although Chancellor Erlong had a complicated relationship with Master, he was also a decent person.
So helping these two was the right thing to do.
Of course, if Master were the one in this situation, then he wouldn't even bother.
If he died, so be it.
What did it have to do with him?
Dai Mubai immediately employed his soul skills, hoping to provide whatever little aid he could.
"Bang——"
There was an explosion.
Diamond Transformation and Meteor Shower merged.
Dai Mubai's attack reached a new pinnacle.
However, who was on the other side? That was a Soul Douluo-ranked expert.
Even Flender and Erlong almost lost their lives at the opponent's hands.
And Dai Mubai's attacks were essentially ineffective.
They couldn't harm the enemy.
But although they couldn't injure, they could still interfere, couldn't they?
A momentary assault gave Flender a brief respite.
"Courting death!!"
The man in black, upon seeing Dai Mubai's released attack, instantly became incredibly cold.
He waved his hand, and an attack hurtled towards Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai was very close to reaching Soul Emperor level, but he hadn't achieved it yet, and naturally, his combat effectiveness wasn't as monstrous as Tang San's; at most, he was equivalent to nearing an ordinary Soul Sage's combat power.
A Soul Douluo-ranked expert's attack was incoming, and once hit, he would be severely injured.
Perhaps even faltering faster than the chancellors.
"Help now!!"
That was Dai Mubai shouting to the others, his tone extremely urgent!
"Boss Dai, I'm coming, fourth soul skill Phoenix Soaring and Roaring! Fifth Soul Skill Flying Phoenix!"
Ma Hongjun also executed two soul skills.
The group from Shrek each employed their soul rings and soul skills for remote attacks!
"The Seven Treasures are renowned!!"
Ning Rongrong was providing support from the side!
"Everyone…"
The group fought on.
At this moment, Tang San felt incredibly useless.
He should have been on the field.
Not lying here.
He shouldn't be lying here!
"Alas! It's over, over. With such a battle situation, they are bound to die, they shouldn't have used their soul skills so early!"
```
Grandmaster sighed repeatedly at the scene, clearly feeling very helpless.
"Teacher, why can't we use soul skills so early?"
Tang San's eyes were full of puzzlement when he heard this.
Under normal circumstances, it was time to use soul skills, right?
Why say they couldn't use soul skills so quickly?
Everyone was in danger after all.
"Alas, what do you know? If we use soul skills this early, how can we make a breakout later? This would be like exposing ourselves all at once," Grandmaster explained.
He had his thoughts.
"Exposing ourselves? Are we really supposed to be foolishly hiding our strength at this moment, waiting for our teammates to die?"
Even Xiaowu found this statement from Grandmaster unbelievable.
Saving people was urgent.
Isn't it?
What was Grandmaster thinking?
"Xiaowu, there's a saying, 'Consider the bigger picture.' If everyone hides their strength and then suddenly erupts, focusing on breaking through at one point, our chances of survival will be much higher. Just now, we could have let Flender and Liu Erlong draw the enemy's fire while Zhao Wuji led us to break out. In special situations, we save as many as we can—as long as the green hills are there, we won't worry about no firewood!"
Currently, there were about twenty or so men in black here. Why reveal our full hand just to save one or two people and put ourselves in the jaws of death?
Actually, what Grandmaster was thinking just now was to have Liu Erlong and Flender attract the Soul Douluo-ranked experts on the opposing side.
Then the rest of us could burst out in an instant and break through the encirclement.
In doing so, our chances of survival would greatly increase.
Instead of wasting our soul power to save these two and end up trapped here ourselves.
He could guarantee, according to his plan just now, that at least two or three people could survive.
But if everyone stays here, death is certain!
"The bigger picture? As long as the green hills are there, we won't worry about no firewood? How very 'Grandmaster' of you!"
Xiaowu sneered upon hearing this.
Forsaking their own teammates and still sounding so righteous.
If both Flender and Liu Erlong, the strongest among them, died, how far could the rest run?
With barriers layer upon layer, are you so certain that the situation beyond these boulders is any better?
We might as well unite and fight back.
Even if we die, we'll take some with us!
Meanwhile, at Tian Dou Royal Academy.
The battle was also very tense at the moment!
Because the men in black had reinforcements!
Among them were five Soul Douluos and one Titled Douluo!
"You go deal with them!"
That was a person in a black cape, and his voice was very cold!
"Don't worry, leave these kids and the remaining defeated troops to me," the five Soul Douluos said coldly at that moment.
To these Soul Masters, they truly did not consider them a threat!
Dai Mubai began to feel a bit nervous.
"Kid, you have some ability for your age, but unfortunately, you're going to lose your life here today!" the man spoke up at the moment.
His gaze was fixed intently on Ye Feng.
"Are you people from the Martial Soul Hall? You really don't know what's good for you!" Ye Feng now looked back at the man.
The man was a Titled Douluo. Would he be afraid if you asked him? In truth, Ye Feng wasn't afraid.
Although he was only at level sixty-nine.
Honestly, even Tang Hao couldn't do anything to him, let alone a mere level ninety-one Titled Douluo.
But right now, he just wanted to confirm the man's identity.
If they were truly from the Martial Soul Hall, then they should know his identity.
Well, even if they didn't know, Chrysanthemum Uncle should, given that he had a pretty good relationship with Old Chrysanthemum within the Martial Soul Hall.
Could it be that the Martial Soul Hall actually issues orders independently?
To put it in human terms, does the different departments and different leaders mean there is a discrepancy when receiving orders?
Chrysanthemum Uncle's position in the Martial Soul Hall was decent.
But he was just an elder after all.
That possibility did exist.
"You know too much!"
The man's eyes turned distinctly colder after hearing that statement.
They were filled with unprecedented murderous intent.
