Douluo: The True Eye

After a short rest, Huo Yuhao found that it was already the next morning.

Today was the second match in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament's round-robin for Shrek Academy.

In the morning, Wang Yan distributed the soul tools purchased at yesterday's auction to everyone, and then led the reserve team to Xingluo Square early.

The other four members of the main team were still healing at the Star Emperor Hotel, and Ma Xiaotao, the only one without injuries, had disappeared early in the morning.

Fortunately, today's opponent had already been determined after yesterday's round-robin matches, so Wang Yan was able to discuss tactics with Bei Bei before the match.

However, this time's opponent, the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team, had a Soul King-level combatant, which was not very friendly to Shrek, whose strongest member of the reserve team was only a Soul Ancestor.

After experiencing the tidal wave of cheers from the audience, which accompanied them every time they appeared, the Shrek Academy team entered the player通道.

On the stage, the referee announced loudly through the amplifying soul tool: "Both sides enter the waiting area, and invite the captains of both sides to come to the stage to draw lots."

According to the previous drawing method, the captains of both sides quickly decided on the battle method for this match.

"This match is between Shrek Academy and the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy of the Dou Spirit Empire. The match method is team battle!"

Hearing this, the cheers from the audience in the entire arena became even more沸腾.

After all, team battles were the most intense and观赏性的 match method in all events.

Then, under the command of the referee, the members of both sides entered the arena from the通道 on both sides of the stage.

Previously, the members of Shrek Academy had also watched the matches of Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.

In the previous淘汰赛, although Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy had not used team battles, the team composition of the opponent was very interesting.

Apart from the Soul King powerhouse as the captain being a power attack system, their main team was actually composed of two control system soul masters and four defensive soul system soul masters.

Without a doubt, the opponent's captain was the core of this team, and the others were only there to protect and assist this Soul King powerhouse.

Before going on stage, Wang Yan instructed Bei Bei: "Be careful in the match later. The opponent's two control systems are a bit special, one ice and one fire, and they use the martial soul mimicry battle method."

"Although their main body combat power is far weaker than ordinary soul masters, their battle methods have become more flexible and varied."

Hearing this, Bei Bei nodded. He had been staying in the viewing area with Wang Yan for several days in a row, collecting information on the students who might be their opponents.

He also knew something about Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy. Apart from the three with the highest cultivation that Wang Yan specifically instructed, the other four defensive soul masters were also a bit unusual.

These four were all soul masters from the same family sect force. Their martial soul was the Spiritual Rhinoceros Shield, which was inherited from their family sect's bloodline.

Although the Spiritual Rhinoceros Shield was not a top-notch and powerful defensive martial soul, it had the advantage in numbers. With the same martial soul and soul ring configuration, the cooperation was very good in terms of tacit understanding and cooperation intensity.

Moreover, the soul skills and martial souls between them could also resonate. Although it could not reach the level of martial soul fusion, it could also achieve the tactical goal of being as immovable as a mountain and unbreakable.

"This battle is a tough one. Everyone, listen to my deployment after going on stage." Although Bei Bei still had his usual smile on his face, it was obvious that he was not as relaxed as he seemed.

The good news, however, was that Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy did not seem to be equipped with soul tools, or perhaps they were just hiding their strength in the previous matches.

Both sides entered the arena. Shrek Academy's formation was still the same as in the淘汰赛, while the four people at the front of Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy were, as expected, the four Spiritual Rhinoceros Shield soul masters.

These four were tall and stood side by side in front, like a human wall, blocking the captain of Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy and the two control system girls behind them.

"The match begins!" The referee shouted loudly, and then both sides released their martial souls. Then, the Shrek Academy team quickly冲刺ed towards the formation set up by the seven members of Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.

For the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team, their tactical core was to wait for the opportunity to attack, and it was not shameful to conserve their strength and wait for the enemy against Shrek Academy. If Shrek Academy could not take them down, it would only be Shrek Academy that would lose face.

The skin of the four people at the front of Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy changed after the martial soul was attached, with a layer of dark yellow soil luster.

At the same time, their skin became rough and thick, and the muscles on their already thick and strong right arms twisted and deformed violently, growing角质 structures like shields.

Interestingly, the predecessor of the Spiritual Rhinoceros Shield was originally a rhinoceros-like martial soul, belonging to the type of beast martial soul, but the sect that inherited this martial soul seemed to have accumulated over the years, and the soul ring configuration tended to be defensive deformation soul skills.

As a result, in a certain generation of the sect, the martial soul mutated into a weapon martial soul in large numbers, and the Spiritual Rhinoceros Shield, after mutating into a weapon martial soul, was better than the original rhinoceros beast martial soul in terms of martial soul quality and defense ability.

After allowing these soul masters who mutated the martial soul to intermarry and reproduce, the Spiritual Rhinoceros Shield replaced the original rhinoceros martial soul and became the inherited martial soul of this sect.

And this origin is quite similar to the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield of the Xuanming Sect.

The shields transformed by these layers of 角质 quickly enlarged when the first soul ring under the feet of the four people lit up, and dark yellow light and shadow emerged from it, turning into a shield wall, directly blocking the area in front of them tightly.

Although he was still冲刺ing, Xu Sanshi's mouth was not idle: "No, in this case, my Xuanming 置换 cannot select the opposite captain. Plan A won't work. Bei Bei, Plan B, first hold them back and then look for opportunities."

Bei Bei nodded, but the distance from Xu Sanshi seemed to be gradually widening, faintly outflanking the right side of the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team.

Jiang Nannan was the same, outflanking the left side of the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team in a posture away from Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi alone stood in the midfield, and behind everyone, the brilliance on Ning Tian's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had not stopped since the beginning of the match.

She was rapidly adding buffs to everyone except Huo Yuhao.

Double-edged and incomparably sharp, it was a brilliant silver color with faint inscriptions etched upon it.

This Thousand Strike Spear hovered in front of Shen Ce, not immediately launching, but waiting for an opportunity, a chance to achieve a decisive victory.

Beside Shen Ce, two girls, one with a crimson aura and the other with a blue aura, transformed their martial souls, the Frost Bear and the Blazing Tiger, into beast-type simulations.

The Frost Bear charged toward the four Spirit Rhinoceros Shield users standing side-by-side, releasing its soul skill.

The shield wall technique released by the four in front was instantly covered with a layer of ice crystals: First Soul Skill, Icy Shield.

Although only a hundred-year soul skill, it served as an auxiliary, increasing the defense of the shield wall by at least thirty percent.

Next came the Second Soul Skill: Ice Seal.

The Frost Bear, in its simulated beast form, stomped its foot, and a layer of ice crystals bypassed the four Spirit Rhinoceros Shield users covered in the Icy Shield, spreading toward the direction from which Shrek and his team were charging.

Instantly, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, who were charging the fastest, felt a chill and freezing air invade their bodies, inevitably slowing their speed.

However, with Ning Tian supporting from behind, repeatedly releasing control-canceling and acceleration soul skills, the control effects on the three were quickly dispelled.

However, besides An Lengye, whose martial soul was the Frost Bear, the opposing team had more than one control-type soul master.

The soul master girl named Fei Yuyan, whose martial soul was the Blazing Tiger, also activated her soul skills.

The first, second, and third soul rings alternated in brilliance, her technique skilled, clearly honed through long practice.

The simulated Blazing Tiger grew a pair of fiery wings on its back, and the color of the flames burning on its body began to transform toward a bluish-white.

Under the augmentation of the Second Soul Skill, Blazing Wings, the Blazing Tiger's control over fire elemental power instantly surged.

A flame also spewed from the Blazing Tiger's mouth, encircling Shen Ce, who held the Thousand Strike Spear, and a fiery red halo draped Shen Ce in a fiery coat.

Under the amplification of this soul skill, called Ring of Fire, Shen Ce's martial soul temporarily gained the ability to influence fire elements, while also greatly increasing the Thousand Strike Spear's upper limit for withstanding fire elemental energy.

Next was the Third Soul Skill.

A phantom figure separated from the Blazing Tiger's body, formed from bluish-white flames.

As this light and shadow separated, the Blazing Tiger's main body immediately dimmed considerably.

This light and shadow leaped directly toward the Thousand Strike Spear, immediately merging into it, while the Thousand Strike Spear faintly crackled with the sound of a tiger's roar, also becoming even more scorching.

With the blessing of the Ring of Fire, the Thousand Strike Spear barely managed to withstand the addition of this external energy.

However, besides Fei Yuyan's support, Shen Ce himself was also a Soul King powerhouse.

The soul rings on the Thousand Strike Spear flashed, and with the activation of the Third Soul Skill, the originally restless Thousand Strike Spear immediately stabilized, covered by a layer of light and flame, suppressing the restless fire elements.

Under this triple augmentation, Shen Ce's attack was absolutely not to be underestimated, and Huo Yuhao, through his Spirit Eyes and mental detection, could naturally see the offensive they had constructed.

However, the other members of Shrek, who had not had the mental detection shared with them, did not know this.

The strongest among them could only sense Shen Ce's increasingly sharp aura behind the Spirit Rhinoceros Shields.

Bei Bei frowned, realizing that something was not quite right.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, used his Spirit Eyes to record the tactics used by the opponent throughout the entire field.

After all, it was a combination of different martial souls and soul skills.

As long as he researched the underlying patterns, Huo Yuhao could add several more variations to the soul power circuit techniques in his hands during actual combat.

Although Huo Yuhao could research them quickly on his own, why wouldn't he use data that had already been researched by others to save himself time?

"Go!" Shen Ce roared, no longer suppressing the Thousand Strike Spear in his hand, which could no longer be restrained.

Hearing this word, the formation of the four Spirit Rhinoceros Shield Soul Masters changed abruptly.

The two shield walls in the middle shifted sideways, revealing a small gap.

At this moment, Xu Sanshi, who was charging forward with his shield raised, vaguely felt that something was amiss.

Looking toward the gap between the Spirit Rhinoceros Shields, he saw a blazing white light flash from within, and at the same time, a cross-shaped white mark appeared squarely on Xu Sanshi's chest.

This was Shen Ce's Fourth Soul Skill, with the effect of locking on and breaking through.

The playful smile on Xu Sanshi's face stiffened, and the soul rings beneath his feet flashed frantically.

Although caught off guard, Xu Sanshi's qualities as a defense-type soul master were still quite up to par.

Profound Tortoise Power · Profound Tortoise Shield Array · Profound Tortoise Tremor.

Under the triple augmentation, the dark black light and shadow on the Profound Tortoise Shell Shield, like ripples, radiated outward in layers of soul power vibration.

At the same time, layers of substantial tortoise shell phantoms were superimposed on the Profound Tortoise Shell Shield, making its volume even larger.

As the Thousand Strike Spear shot out, layers of dark black soul power vibrations and tortoise shell phantoms were shattered by it.

Shen Ce's full-strength attack at his peak was not so easy to deal with.

Not to mention that he was caught unprepared.

As the constructed defense was pierced layer by layer, the Thousand Strike Spear landed squarely on the Profound Tortoise Shell Shield.

Xu Sanshi was directly knocked back ten meters, falling to the ground.

Although the Profound Tortoise Shell Shield was not broken through, some cracks appeared in the area where it was hit by the Thousand Strike Spear.

Seeing this situation, Shen Ce's expression also changed slightly.

He did not expect that his strongest attack, launched from a position of strength, would actually be received by a soul master whose soul power was a whole major realm lower than his own.

Although it could not be said to be unscathed, it was far from the strategic objective they wanted to establish.

Moreover, at this moment, with the opening and closing of the Spirit Rhinoceros Shield Array, a flaw had already appeared.

"Not good!" A Spirit Rhinoceros Shield Soul Master shouted loudly, wanting to reassemble the shield array, but it was already too late.

After being knocked away, before he could even get up from the ground, Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth, enduring the pain and activating his Fourth Soul Skill: Profound Tortoise Displacement.

In an instant, his figure disappeared from the ground, replaced by Shen Ce appearing in the position where Xu Sanshi had fallen.

Immediately afterward, Shen Ce's mind went blank, and the second soul ring beneath Huo Yuhao's feet lit up.

Bei Bei and Jiang Nannan, who had originally distanced themselves from Xu Sanshi, both activated propulsion soul tools, immediately turning back to encircle and attack Shen Ce, who had temporarily lost his ability to move.
