"Xiao Tian, you charged too quickly. Don't forget, we are a team." Yu Tianheng and the others followed, the Royal Fight Seven ready.
In this match, the power attack type Soul Masters are Tianlin and Yu Tianheng, the defense types are the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers, the agility attacks are Oslo and Yu Feng, and the control is handed over to Huan Yin.
The absence of the auxiliary type Ye Lingling shows Royal Fight's determination in attack this time.
On the other hand, the Elephant Armor Academy has sent up seven mountains of meat, each weighing over two hundred pounds, all defensive Soul Masters, an extremely specialized team, very characteristic of the Elephant Armor Sect.
"Sect Master Huyan, is that largest one your grandson, Huyan Li?" Ning Fengzhi asked, looking at the person in the C position of the Elephant Armor Academy.
"That's right, A Li is the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation in my Elephant Armor Sect, with even better talent than I had in my day. I hope he will become the first Titled Douluo of my Elephant Armor Sect in the future." Huyan Zhen's voice was like a bell, and because he didn't hide it at all, not only the people in the first row heard it, but also Prince Xue Xing and Meng Shenji of the Education Committee in the back seats heard it clearly.
Emperor Xue Ye smiled slightly, "Sect Master Huyan has such a grandson, congratulations."
"Your Majesty is too kind. Our Elephant Armor Academy's goal this time is to be in the top three of the finals, defeating all opponents except your Royal Academy and Spirit Hall Academy." Huyan Zhen was outwardly modest, but in reality, he was extremely arrogant.
He actually knew that this match was bound to be lost, but losing didn't matter. There was more than one Academy that could enter the promotion round anyway. Anyway, his conscience was clear, and he had never had the ambition to win the championship.
After all, the Sword Prince of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall were two great mountains blocking all the Academies, and no one could easily overcome them.
"Hello everyone, I am your friend Dou Dou, and also the host of this competition." A beautiful female Soul Master spread her Wings and flew into the air, "The first match of the first round of the preliminaries is about to begin. Please release your Spirits and get ready!"
With her announcement, the seven members of the Elephant Armor Academy simultaneously activated their Spirits, all Diamond Mammoths, including three Soul Ancestors and four Soul Grandmasters, all with the best Spirit Ring configurations. The strongest, Huyan Li, had already reached level forty-three.
This level is very strong in other teams, but against Royal Fight, it is completely insufficient. Yu Tianheng, as the captain, shouted, "Let's begin, everyone, Spirit Fusion, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"
A deep blue dragon flew into the sky, overlooking the seven mammoths below, with no fear in its eyes.
In the rear, Ghost Leopard, Black Tortoise Turtle, Wind Chime Bird, and Seven Stringed Guqin were also displayed one by one. Compared to the Elephant Armor Academy, Royal Fight's lineup was obviously more comprehensive, with each position covered.
More importantly, all were at the Soul Ancestor level, even the worst, Huan Yin, had just reached level forty.
"Royal Fight is indeed Royal Fight, with extraordinary strength. Vice-Captain Dugu Yan, Nine Heart Begonia Ye Lingling, and Bone Douluo's disciple Gu Ran have not yet appeared. Obviously, they have retained considerable terrifying strength." Flander's face was extremely heavy.
At this moment, Tianlin's Demon Sword was in hand, and five Spirit Rings, one yellow, two purple, and two black, were displayed, causing everyone present to shrink their pupils.
It had long been heard that the Sword Prince of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had absorbed Spirit Rings beyond his level, with the second Spirit Ring being a thousand years old, but unexpectedly, his fourth Ring was even at the ten thousand year level. Then presumably, this fifth Spirit Ring would not be as simple as the usual twelve thousand years.
"As expected, he is a Soul King, but this Soul Power fluctuation should be around level fifty-two. It seems that he broke through to Soul King not long ago, and then reached this level by using the Soul Power provided by the super-aged Spirit Ring." Salas had an expression as if he had expected this. With Tianlin's cultivation speed, reaching Soul King was already expected by Spirit Hall.
Of course, the Soul Power fluctuation he sensed was completely wrong. This was Tianlin using the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's Spirit Bone to perfectly hide the leaked Soul Power. He could reveal as much as he wanted. Unless the Soul Power reached level ninety-five or above, it would be impossible to see through.
Wanting to probe his bottom line was not that simple.
The Soul Master Competition does not allow the use of external objects, and Shu Mountain talismans are also within this restriction. Therefore, Tianlin did not intend to violate the rules by relying on Stealth Talismans to hide, but Spirit Bones were props within the rules.
Seeing that both sides were ready, Dou Dou immediately said, "Soul Fight begins!"
"First Spirit Ability, Copper Wall Iron Barrier!"
As soon as Dou Dou finished speaking, the Elephant Armor side simultaneously used their First Spirit Ability to strengthen their defense, and the seven stood in a row, advancing towards the Royal Fight side.
This is the Elephant Armor Sect's best tactic, using their huge bodies, tyrannical strength, and defense to constantly oppress the enemy.
Although the opponent's advance speed was not fast, after Spirit Fusion, the seven's figures were even more robust. Just those seven big guys could make people feel pressure.
In the past, when they were approached like this, the opponent would either retreat or take the initiative to attack, but today, the Royal Fight people did not move at all, as if they were just standing there waiting for the attack.
This made Huyan Li, who was good at defensive counterattacks, very unhappy, "Since the other party doesn't move, then launch a concentrated attack, target, Jun Tianlin, use all of your Third Spirit Ability to suppress and kill, use our strength to crush him!"
He still remembered his grandfather's instructions: this battle was not about winning, but about forcing out Tianlin's full strength.
On the platform, Salas glanced at Huyan Zhen strangely and asked with his eyes, "This simpleton, is he really your grandson?"
Huyan Zhen helplessly supported his forehead, "This A'Li's cultivation talent is not bad, but his brain is really not very bright. It's enough to announce the name of a Spirit Ability, why does he have to shout out who he's attacking and how the Spirit Ability is used before he even makes a move? Is he afraid the other party won't have time to prepare?"
"Haha, you're killing me with laughter. Since you're so simple, then I won't be polite." Yu Tianheng laughed and said, "Shi Mo and Shi Mo, help Xiao Tian defend. Oslo and Yu Feng, provide interference from the sides. Senior Huan Yin, get ready."
Huan Yin nodded, her fingers placed on the strings of the guqin, but she didn't start playing immediately, as if waiting for something.
At this moment, among the Elephant Armor Sect Seven, the Shi Brothers relied on their tyrannical defense to each hold back two Soul Grandmasters, while the two Soul Ancestors who were second only to Huyan Li were constantly harassed by the two agility-based Soul Masters of the Royal Fight Team. Only Huyan Li was left, the Diamond Mammoth raising its front feet and fiercely pressing down on Tianlin.
*"Boom!"*
Two giant feet stomped on the ground at the same time, shaking the entire arena.
"Boss! Are you okay?" Ma Hongjun on the platform called out anxiously.
Ning Rongrong next to him smiled, "It's okay, this little bit of attack can't do anything to Brother Sword."
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and they saw that under Huyan Li's feet, his crushing attack was actually being supported by Tianlin with both hands. Seeing his ease, he didn't take it to heart at all.
