Chapter 622 Named After Fire, Its Flames Blaze Like Fire
The two teams, totaling twenty-two members, stood in two rows several meters apart, each bowing to the other.
Then, the non-combatants stepped down and handed the ring over to the combatants.
On the Shrek Seven Devils' side, the remaining six members besides Oscar, plus a strong attack-type substitute with a tiger spirit, make up a lineup of six main members and one substitute.
Blazing Fire Academy, on the other hand, fielded its entire main force.
Most importantly, Mai Shiranui, who had never fought before, stayed.
From the moment he stepped onto the stage, Tang San's gaze was constantly, almost imperceptibly, fixed on Huo Wu opposite him. When he saw her remain on the stage, his eyes involuntarily froze for a moment, and his heart instantly felt heavy.
"Blazing Fire Academy Team, Captain Huo Wushuang, Level 45 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, please enlighten me."
Huo Wushuang's gaze swept over the seven members of the Shrek Seven Devils team one by one, finally settling on Yu Tianheng.
In this match against the Shrek Seven Devils, Huo Wushuang had only one target: Yu Tianheng.
Yu Tianheng is the direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three upper sects. He inherited the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, which is known as the best of the dragon-type Martial Souls and the strongest beast Martial Soul in the entire Douluo Continent.
Huo Wushuang wanted to compete with him and see who was stronger among the two dragon-type martial soul masters. He also wanted to see if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul truly lived up to its name.
Sensing the fighting spirit in Huo Wu's eyes, Yu Tianheng was also somewhat eager to make a move.
He sensed the aura of a dragon-type martial soul from Huo Wushuang, and his own Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul couldn't help but throb with excitement.
Speaking of which, Huo Wushuang's dragon bloodline has some connection with their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. It can be said to be an extension of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul's bloodline.
Perhaps it was the result of a bloodline of a senior member or ancestor of the clan being scattered outside.
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has strict rules and regulations, including clan rules that strictly prohibit the outflow of bloodlines, but it is impossible to completely prevent it.
After all, there are always some people who like to have affairs, leaving behind romantic entanglements, or secretly having children.
Upon hearing Huo Wushuang introduce himself, Dai Mubai, as the team leader, was unwilling to be outdone. However, just as he was about to step forward to respond, Tang San stepped forward first:
"Tang San, vice-captain of the Shrek Seven Devils team, a level 42 control-type Soul Master, please enlighten me."
Dai Mubai frowned slightly and subconsciously glanced at Tang San, but when he saw the latter's solemn and somewhat gloomy face, he immediately and silently withdrew the foot that had been raised halfway.
Huo Wushuang's attention was drawn to Tang San's voice. His gaze shifted from Yu Tianheng to Tang San, then he gave Dai Mubai a meaningful look and smiled:
"So, it's the vice-captain who's in charge of you Shrek Seven Devils?"
"Ah, that makes sense. After all, he's a control-type Soul Master, responsible for overseeing the overall situation. He's the soul of your entire team, so it's not inappropriate for him to make the decisions."
This time, Tang San remained silent.
Huo Wushuang's words made him realize that his behavior just now was indeed somewhat presumptuous. Although he had an indisputable soul status among the Shrek Seven Devils, on the surface, Dai Mubai was the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils team.
He had spoken up for the Shrek Seven Devils team before Dai Mubai, which might have aroused suspicion or even resentment among his teammates, and would have been detrimental to the upcoming matches.
Huo Wushuang's words were truly a psychological maneuver.
Tang San wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it, he chose to remain silent.
"Stop trying to sow discord here."
Tang San remained silent, but Dai Mubai immediately stepped forward and glared fiercely at Huo Wushuang:
"Xiao San is the vice-captain of our Shrek Seven Devils, so of course he is qualified to speak on behalf of the team."
Huo Wushuang didn't take Dai Mubai's words to heart, and simply smiled faintly.
"Whatever, your winning streak will end today anyway."
Dai Mubai glared at Huo Wushuang, their gazes clashing fiercely before he gave a cold, defiant smile.
"That's exactly what I wanted to say."
"Your Blazing Academy's winning streak will also come to an end today."
"Victory belongs to us, the Shrek Seven Devils."
The competition hadn't even started, but the air was already thick with tension in this brief exchange of words.
Dai Mubai's gaze met Huo Wushuang's, while Tang San's gaze inevitably met Huo Wu's.
It should be said that his gaze almost never left Huo Wu.
Of the seven from Blazing Academy, the one who caught Tang San's attention the most was definitely not Huo Wushuang, the one-horned firestorm dragon soul master who was known as the strongest in a direct confrontation.
They were not the two support-type Soul Masters standing at the very back of the opponent's formation.
Instead, it was Huo Wu, the female Soul Master whose strength was unknown.
From the information provided by the master, Tang San only knew that Huo Wu, like him, was a control-type Soul Master and also the vice-captain of the Blazing Fire Academy team, making her the soul of the Blazing Fire Academy team.
Her martial spirit is herself, a shadow with herself as its main body, called Fire Shadow, which is a very peculiar beast martial spirit.
Tang San's eyes gleamed with a faint purple light, almost imperceptible to outsiders. He could see through the cultivation levels of everyone else in Blazing Fire Academy at a glance, including Huo Wushuang, whose soul power level was as high as level 45.
The only girl he couldn't understand was Huo Wu.
At first glance, he didn't notice anything.
In the vision of the Purple Demon Eye, Huo Wu's soul power aura was like a blank space, showing no signs of flow, and she looked no different from an ordinary person.
This made Tang San feel extremely heavy-hearted, yet he was helpless and could only sigh inwardly. It seemed that he could only adapt to the situation during the battle.
Regardless of Huo Wu's strength, the Shrek Seven Devils team will absolutely not give up in this match.
Besides, how much stronger can Huo Wu be? Could she possibly be stronger than Huo Wushuang?
It should be noted that Huo Wushuang's talent was already exceptionally outstanding, and even if Huo Wu's talent was comparable to or even surpassed it.
However, compared to her brother Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu's training period was much shorter. Even if she were stronger, she probably wouldn't reach Huo Wushuang's level.
As long as Huo Wu's strength isn't too outrageous, the Shrek Seven Devils definitely have the ability to defeat her, with a chance of winning that could even be over 70%.
At this moment, Tang San still maintained his confidence.
After all, he had used Ning Rongrong, his trump card, for this match.
Tang San focused all his attention on being wary of Huo Wu, unaware that a certain mischievous rabbit beside him was practically grinding its teeth to powder, thinking that its third brother had been bewitched and instantly harboring a grudge against Huo Wu.
…………
"You have one minute to release your Martial Soul."
As per procedure, after both sides had exchanged greetings and all non-combatants had left the area, the referee's voice rang out again.
In an instant, the main battle arena was filled with the light of souls.
Intense martial spirit and spirit ring light instantly filled the entire arena. Judging from the spirit ring combinations, the spirit rings of both teams were undoubtedly at least standard configurations.
On the Shrek Seven Devils' side, there were three four-ring Soul Masters leading four three-ring Soul Venerables, among whom Tang San even possessed a ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring.
On the other side, the Blazing Fire Academy had three four-ring Soul Masters leading three three-ring Soul Venerables, as well as Huo Wu, whose number of Soul Rings was unknown.
After the referee announced the activation of the Martial Soul, Huo Wu did not activate her Martial Soul or Soul Rings. At this point, only Huo Wushuang and the other six people took action.
In the comparison of spirit rings, since Huo Wu did not summon her martial spirit, it is impossible to determine which side is superior.
However, in terms of the level of soul power, Blazing Fire Academy has the advantage, though only slightly.
After all, at the Soul Master level, only Huo Wushuang could suppress the three Soul Masters of Shrek Academy.
As for the other two Soul Masters, Huo Yun and Huo Yu, they were slightly weaker than their opponents.
Moreover, minor differences in ranking are not the key to changing the outcome of a match.
To win the game, the team's overall strength will be crucial.
Tang San's gaze remained fixed on Huo Wu.
Seeing that Huo Wu did not activate her martial soul and release her soul ring immediately, he was clearly stunned for a moment, but after regaining his senses, his heart became even more solemn.
Looking at Huo Wu, who always wore a faint smile and whose body was surrounded by a faint red glow, Tang San suddenly had an ominous premonition for some reason.
The martial spirit rises, the spirit rings dance up and down, and the surging spirit power forms an invisible pressure, like two huge walls squeezing each other.
"preparation--"
Just then, the referee suddenly raised his arm high.
Both teams reacted quickly, taking action the instant the referee raised his arm, and almost simultaneously set up their pre-match formations.
Blazing Academy adopted a more aggressive triangular battle formation—
With Huo Wushuang as the spearhead, Huo Yun and Huo Yu, two agility-type Soul Masters, on the flanks, Huo Lie, a power-type Fire Leopard Soul Master, assisting in the attack, Huo Wu in the center, and Huo Jun and Huo Chui, two support-type Mars Soul Masters, standing at the rear.
Shrek Academy's formation was relatively more conservative.
As before, Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng were in front, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ma Hongjun were in the middle, and Ning Rongrong was at the back. As for the substitute Soul Master who was just there to make up the numbers, he was responsible for protecting Ning Rongrong.
"The match begins!"
A minute passed in the blink of an eye, and the referee's raised arm suddenly fell, officially beginning the match between the Shrek Seven Devils and Blazing Academy.
The referee quickly stepped back to clear space for the game.
Both teams started moving simultaneously at the same time.
boom--
Flames soared into the sky, and a scorching and explosive aura immediately erupted from the Blazing Fire Academy side, with fiery red light almost enveloping the entire main central battle arena.
A loud dragon roar burst forth from Huo Wushuang's mouth, and the flames rising from his body vaguely formed the shape of a dragon behind him.
That was his martial spirit, the One-Horned Fire Typhoon.
With the Martial Soul possessing him, Huo Wushuang's body instantly swelled to a size larger, his skin covered with a layer of blazing dark red scales, and a single horn grew from his head.
As he transformed into a humanoid fire dragon, Huo Wushuang burst forth, his target being Yu Tianheng, one of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Beside him was another offensive-type Soul Master, whose Martial Soul was a Fire Leopard. His Soul Power was only level 39. He was responsible for assisting Captain Huo Wushuang in launching attacks and intercepting all attacks except those from his chosen opponents.
Blazing Academy's tactics against enemies have always been to take the initiative and attack.
The same applies to the battle against the Shrek Seven Devils.
As the two offensive-type Soul Masters launched their attack, the two support-type Mars Soul Masters standing at the back of the Blazing Fire Academy team immediately sprang into action.
"A single spark can start a prairie fire!"
As they sang softly, the spirit rings on their bodies instantly released dazzling light.
Sparks flew everywhere, and countless tiny red dots of light appeared out of thin air and rapidly converged towards the sparks.
As the red light condensed, the spark rapidly grew larger, forming a strange, bright red flame that hovered slowly above the heads of the seven members of the Blazing Academy team, like a star map, while simultaneously showering down dazzling sparks.
As the sparks fell and merged into the bodies of the seven members of Blazing Fire Academy, including Huo Wu who had not yet released her martial soul, the fire attribute aura on the seven members suddenly surged, and flames rose into the air.
This is the Blazing Fire Academy.
Named after fire, its flames are blazing.
Captain Huo Wushuang and the powerful attack-type Fire Leopard Soul Master have already launched a fierce attack, and the two agile attack-type Battle Soul Masters, Huo Yun and Huo Yu, are not lagging behind either.
The two of them circled around almost simultaneously, each releasing a pair of dazzling wings from their backs. Although they did not take flight, they glided in a strange arc, circling around the Shrek team from the side.
Their target was Ning Rongrong, who was at the very back of the Shrek Seven Devils team.
There is an unwritten rule in the world of Soul Masters: when two armies clash, the first thing to deal with is not the offensive Soul Masters in the enemy's formation, but the support Soul Masters.
This understanding is equally applicable to the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
In any case, eliminating the support-type Soul Master in the opponent's team first is the most correct choice.
Moreover, the opponent's support Soul Master is a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is known as the most powerful support Martial Soul in the entire continent, with a terrifying amplification effect.
The moment the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in Ning Rongrong's hands, Huo Yun and Huo Yu understood that their primary task was to quickly eliminate Ning Rongrong, this support-type Soul Master, and not give her the opportunity to support the Shrek Seven Devils.
If she were left on the field, the powerful support capabilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda would definitely cause a lot of trouble for Blazing Fire Academy.
Without a doubt, the Blazing Academy team is an extremely well-coordinated team. Their goal is very clear, and they have been trying their best to establish their advantage from the very beginning of the match.
The Shrek Seven Devils reacted just as quickly.
"Brother Dai, Brother Tianheng, stop them! We can't let Huo Wushuang break through our formation."
Seeing that the Blazing Fire Academy team had sent four members to press towards their side, Tang San immediately shouted and commanded Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng to attack.
At the same time, six purple-black blue silver grasses, resembling tentacles, were quickly flung out, but instead of attacking the opponent, they wrapped around the waist of their own teammates.
