171: Tiandou Team 2 vs. Thunder Academy
Tiandou City, Preliminary Arena.The salutes shot up into the sky, resounding throughout the air, ushering in the first match of the third round of the preliminaries, between Tianshui College and Kamikaze College.
At this moment, the battle on the fighting arena was extremely fierce.
The seven members of Tianshui Academy are all water-attribute soul masters, and they are all beautiful women. The seven members of Kamikaze Academy are all wind-attribute soul masters, and they all have flying-attribute martial spirits.
Of the five elemental academies, Kamikaze Academy has always been hailed as the strongest.
This is indeed the case. After a fierce battle that lasted for more than ten minutes, Tianshui College had fallen into a disadvantage under the fierce attack of Kamikaze College. If they did not use their trump cards, they would face losing the game.
lounge.
Some college teams who were taking a break stood in front of the window and watched the game.
The members of Tiandou Royal Academy's second team were discussing something in a box.
The initiator of the topic was not Teacher Sun, but Li Gang, the former captain of the second team.
Ever since the captain position was taken away by Lu Buliang, he has been unwilling to accept it. He wanted to show off in the first two fighting games, but Lu Buliang blew him off the stage without his permission, causing him to lose the qualification to compete repeatedly.
After being treated like this for two games in a row, Li Gang could no longer tolerate it, so he organized this meeting in order to perform well in today's fighting spirit competition.
"Teacher Sun, you saw it too." Li Gang glared at Lü Buliang and complained to Sun Buyu: "As soon as the game started, Lü Buliang eliminated us teammates first. He didn't even ask for our opinions on this matter. Don't you think he's too much?"
Teacher Sun fell into a brief silence, glanced at Lu Buliang, and wanted to say something but didn't open his mouth.
Lu Buliang smiled, "Teacher Sun, you want me to be more restrained and not be so arrogant, right?"
"That's right." Sun Buyu didn't expect Lu Buliang to speak first, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Aliang, I know you are very strong, but we are participating in the competition as a team after all. As the captain, you should let the team members show more. Don't let them take the limelight, but let them accumulate some combat experience."
Seeing that Teacher Sun was speaking for him, Li Gang became more confident. He straightened his back and complained to Lv Buliang, "Did you hear that? We are a team. The preliminaries are a team-based fighting spirit competition. If you want to stand out on your own, then you can wait until the promotion match. The promotion match is a one-on-one fighting spirit competition. Facing the enemy's round-robin battle on the promotion stage and completing a one-on-seven feat, that's what it means to stand out!"
"You mean I don't have to play in the qualifiers, but in the promotion rounds?" Lu Buliang asked.
"That's right. Even without you, we can still defeat our opponents." As he spoke, Li Gang winked at the team member next to him, "Right, Liu Feng?"
The team member named Liu Feng thought about it, nodded, and then shook his head, "Former captain, I think we still need Captain Lu Buliang to play. With him, our chances of winning are greater."
"Pah." Li Gang said angrily, "What's the point of having a good chance of winning? Let me ask you, do you want to stand out? Do you want to be famous in the continent? This is a continent-wide soul master fighting competition that only takes place once every five years. On this stage, even if you perform well in just one game, you are likely to attract the attention of many powerful forces. We have waited for five years. Are you willing to do nothing in every game and be blown off the stage by Lv Buliang?"
"This..." Liu Feng hesitated to speak.
"I don't want to do it anyway." Li Gang glared at Lu Buliang and said, "For today's match, I will stay on the fighting arena no matter what. I want to show the results of my five years of training. I want to let the guys who looked down on me in the last session see my growth."
"Yes. I also want to perform well and stand out. My parents are watching in the audience, and I can't embarrass them."
"Me too. It's so embarrassing to be blown off the stage. I'm here to participate in the competition, not to be someone's foil!"
Similar protests were heard in the box. Seeing that all the members of Team 2 were against his approach, Lu Buliang said, "Okay. I promise you."
"In today's match against Thunder Academy, I will not eliminate you first, nor will I snatch your chance to perform. On the fighting spirit stage, I will only act as a supporting spirit master. I will play the supporting role, and you can show off the results of your five years of training, show off, and have fun. Is that okay?"
"You should have done this a long time ago." Li Gang sneered, "You originally entered the academy as an auxiliary spirit master. Why do you want to take someone else's position?"
"Aliang, the game later still depends on you." Teacher Sun said: "The players of Thunder Academy are not only outstanding in individual strength, but also excellent in team battles. In the game later, even as an auxiliary spirit master, you have to go all out."
Lu Buliang smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Teacher Sun. I know my limits."
"————"
On the fighting spirit stage.
Faced with the fierce attack from the Kamikaze Academy, the Tianshui Academy finally couldn't hold on any longer. In desperation, it had to change its tactics and use the martial soul fusion technique to reverse the situation.
Seeing Xuewu approaching Shui Binger, Feng Xiaotian, the captain of the Kamikaze Academy, immediately warned his companions: "Oh no, Shui Binger and Xuewu are about to use their martial soul fusion skills. Stop them quickly-"
As the voice fell, seven members of the Kamikaze Academy soaring in the air, including Feng Xiaotian, released the violent wind spirit skill almost at the same time.
Seven strong winds formed a huge tornado that swept up and blew Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu off the fighting spirit stage. Before they could complete the performance of their martial soul fusion skills, Xue Wu had already fallen heavily under the fighting spirit stage. Shui Bing'er also lost in the fierce storm and fell off the stage. Both of them lost their qualifications for the competition.
Tianshui College was eventually defeated by Kamikaze College.
"In the third round of the preliminaries, Tianshui College played against Kamikaze College, and Kamikaze College won—"
The referee announced the result of the match and the audience cheered and became restless.
Tianshui College and Kamikaze College walked off the stage, and the next two teams to compete were: Tiandou Royal College Team Two versus Lei Ting College.
The contestants from both sides walked onto the stage, saluted each other, and then activated their martial spirits under the supervision of the referee.
The captain of Thunder Academy is Yu Tianxin, whose martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus. He and Yu Tianheng are known as the twin stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. They have a soul power of level 44 and have outstanding strength and combat acumen.
The deputy captain is named Lei Dong, who is also a talented soul master like his younger brother Lei Tian.
At the moment when the martial spirit was released, in the area where the seven members of Lei Tian Academy were located, in addition to the fighting spirit arena on the right covered by the light of the soul ring, there was also the martial spirit aura of the seven members.
All of them have thunder-attributed martial spirits, especially team leader Yu Tianxin's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus martial spirit. The pressure it releases is not much weaker than Yu Tianheng's.
The seven members of the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy standing on the left side of the fighting spirit arena also activated their martial spirits and released their spirit rings.
What surprised everyone present was that after Lu Buliang's shadow martial soul and six spirit rings appeared, there was no violent energy rushing in all directions like before, and the six members of Tiandou Team 2 were not blown off the stage.
This time, Lu Buliang actually abandoned his previous arrogant approach of fighting alone against seven people, and chose to rely on his teammates and play the game in a team battle manner.
What was even more surprising to the audience was that, as the captain, Lu Buliang, who originally stood in front of all his teammates, now stood behind all his teammates.
The formation of the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy is a standard inverted triangle arrangement. There are four players standing in the front, two players standing in the second row, and only one player standing in the third row, that is, Lu Buliang who plays as an auxiliary soul master.
"What on earth do the Tiandou Second Team want to do? Why is Lü Buliang standing in the supporting position?"
"It's not some tactic, is it?"
"Tactics? With Lu Buliang's strength, what tactics do he need? Instead of letting him play as a supporting role, it would be better to just wipe out the opponent directly. Why bother with all the fancy stuff?"
"I guess he wants to give his teammates a chance to perform. He stole the limelight in the first two games, so let his teammates perform well this time."
"That makes sense. This is a team competition after all, and that's exactly what we should do."
The audience was talking about it.
Even teachers and students from other colleges were talking about it. More people felt that it was because Lu Buliang was too arrogant and his behavior of blowing his teammates off the stage was protested by his teammates, which led to the current situation of seven against seven.
Tang San looked at Lu Buliang standing on the fighting spirit stage and recalled what happened yesterday.
He had originally planned to return to Shrek Academy to practice how to compress and rotate soul power, but unexpectedly he was ambushed by Canghui Academy's teacher Shinian on the way.
Fortunately, after releasing the purple energy that had been accumulated for several years, the Purple Demon Eye was able to forcibly break through Shi Nian's control of the illusion. With the help of the sixteen poisonous steel needles shot by the improved version of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, Shi Nian was safely shot to death in the grove.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
At that time, Shi Nian said that he would kill himself first and then kill Lu Buliang, and finally kill all the outstanding students.
Thinking of this, Tang San felt that killing Shi Nian was equivalent to indirectly saving Lu Buliang's life.
Why didn't I get any good rewards for doing good things?
Tang San felt extremely disappointed and helpless. When he was unconscious in the grove, the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night on his belt was snatched away by some bastard.
After that, Tang San kept an eye on the Tiandou Auction House to see if the bastard who stole the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night would take it to the auction house to exchange for money, but no one did.
Up to now, the lost Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night has not been found.
When Tang San came back to his senses from his thoughts and looked at Lv Buliang on the fighting spirit stage again, the fighting spirit on the stage had already begun.
With the assistance of Lu Buliang's second soul skill, the six members of Tiandou Team 2 all possessed the ability to transform into shadows, becoming immune to physical attacks and able to move freely in the shadow area. Their attack and speed attributes increased by 50%.
With an unprecedented amplification effect, the six members of Tiandou Team 2, led by Li Gang, almost simultaneously disappeared into the ground in the form of black shadows and rushed towards the seven players from Thunder Academy.
Although he played as an auxiliary soul master, Lu Buliang was different from before. He only provided soul skill assistance to six teammates and did not convey any instructions to his teammates through shadow communication.
In other words, although Li Gang and his six companions seemed to be very imposing, they were actually like headless flies, fighting aimlessly.
Lu Buliang was not holding any grudge. He did not give combat orders to the six team members because judging from their personalities and ways of doing things, they would not obey his tactical arrangements at all.
Especially the former captain of the second team named Li Gang. The other five teammates have a deeper relationship with Li Gang. After getting assistance from Lu Buliang, they will subconsciously obey Li Gang's orders. In their eyes, Lu Buliang is just a pure assistant, and no one has even thought about protecting Lu Buliang as an assistant.
Seeing six people rushing over at the same time, Yu Tianxin smiled faintly and winked at the two agile attack teammates beside him.
In a team battle, the auxiliary system should be dealt with first. At this moment, all six people are out, and no one is protecting Lu Buliang. This is the best opportunity for a sneak attack.
After receiving the order, two agility attack spirit masters from the Thunder Academy turned into a flash of lightning. With a move of their bodies, they passed by Li Gang and others who had turned into six black shadows, and pounced directly towards Lu Buliang's position.
Two agile attack spirit masters flashed over and appeared on the left and right sides of Lu Buliang. After watching two games, they naturally knew how powerful Lu Buliang was. However, with the idea of defeating the auxiliary spirit masters first in team battles, they still mustered up the courage to attack Lu Buliang first.
The third soul rings on their bodies lit up at the same time, and the two agile attack soul masters used the same soul skill. Their right arms turned into lightning blades, and they stabbed at Lu Buliang's body from the left and right. The synchronization rate of their movements was completely consistent, and their attack speed was also meticulous, and they cooperated very well.
If it were any other auxiliary spirit master, he would definitely be eliminated by this sudden attack.
Unfortunately, the auxiliary soul master who was sandwiched between the two sides was Lü Buliang. Whether in terms of strength or combat experience, Lü Buliang was far superior to his peers.
When the six teammates rushed towards the enemy regardless of their own safety, Lu Buliang guessed that Thunder Academy would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on him, so he had long anticipated that the agile attack soul master of Thunder Academy would appear beside him.
The moment the two agile attack soul masters stabbed their lightning blades at the left and right sides of Lu Buliang at the same time, he instantly felt a murderous aura. When the agile attack soul master on the left who launched a sneak attack reacted, Lu Buliang's fist had already hit him in the face.
The agile attack spirit master who launched a sneak attack from the right was kicked in the chest by Lu Buliang.
With one punch and one kick at the same time, Lu Buliang didn't even use his soul skills to enhance his own strength attribute, and directly knocked out the two agility attack soul masters of Thunder Academy.
Suffering from the terrifying force, the two agile attack spirit masters fell onto the spirit fighting stage with their eyes closed, and fainted completely.
The audience was stunned when seeing this scene. The two agile attack-type soul masters who had originally taken the initiative were defeated by Lu Buliang. This was definitely not just a difference in strength. If the enemy's actions had not been predicted in advance, how could there be such a clean and neat attack?
"Bing'er, it seems that when Lv Buliang said he would not fight us without his spirit, he was not just arrogant. He really has the ability to do so." Xuewu couldn't help but feel a little scared, "It turns out that he is not only powerful, but also has good fighting qualities."
"You're right," Shui Bing'er said, "Maybe this time he didn't eliminate his teammates first, which was another more arrogant approach."
Xuewu smiled bitterly, "Does he still want to fight thirteen alone? He regards the six teammates as enemies as well?"
Seeing that his teammate who went for a sneak attack was killed by Lu Buliang, Yu Tianxin's calm smile suddenly froze. He was still too naive and thought that he could defeat Lu Buliang by a sneak attack. This led to the Thunder Academy losing two positions of the Agility Attack Department.
In a team, the Agile Attack System can protect teammates, disrupt opponents, and fill other vacant positions in the team at any time with its excellent speed and attack.
It can be said that with the presence of agile attack spirit masters, the team's mobility will be greatly improved.
Now that they have lost two agile attack types, it is like a warhorse cutting off its own two hind legs, and the team has fallen into an extremely passive situation.
Yu Tianxin was extremely helpless. The support was supposed to be the most important and weakest position in the team. It was common sense to eliminate the support first.
However, the Tiandou Royal Academy Team 2 they are facing at this moment has the most powerful existence in the support position. If you want to win this game, you must not touch Lu Buliang who is standing in the support position.
"Looking for an easy target. Eliminate the six people from Team 2 first. Then we will attack Lü Buliang together—"
