174 Becoming the Shadow of Light
Meanwhile.The first match of the fourth round of the preliminaries was also taking place on another fighting arena, with the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy facing off against Kamikaze Academy.
The Kamikaze Academy stood on the right side of the fighting arena, and the second team of the Tiandou Royal Academy was on the left side. Seven people from each side took the field, and the rest retreated from the fighting arena to watch the battle.
The players on the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy were Lü Buliang, Li Gang and Xiaoxuemei, and the other four were substitutes.
After yesterday's match against Thunder Academy, four main players of Tiandou Team II asked to withdraw from the game. They were ridiculed by the audience and humiliated by Lu Buliang, and were afraid of suffering serious injuries again, so they gave up and let four substitutes play.
What Lü Buliang didn't expect was that Li Gang and Xiao Xuemei actually dared to compete on stage. It seemed that among the members of Tiandou Team 2, these two still had backbone, unlike other noble students who chose to retreat.
The captain of the Kamikaze Academy is Feng Xiaotian, a level 44 control-type fighting soul master, and his martial soul is the Gale Two-Headed Wolf.
The seven members of the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy and the second team of Kamikaze Academy faced each other in a battle. Even when facing a being like Lu Buliang who was almost impossible to defeat, Feng Xiaotian was still full of fighting spirit. He had promised Huo Wu that he would avenge her, and even if he could not win, he would punch Lu Buliang hard in the face.
Facing Feng Xiaotian's sharp gaze, Li Gang, the former captain of the second team standing on the left side of Lu Buliang, suddenly said: "Feng Xiaotian is born with full soul power, and his martial soul is a mutated beast martial soul. Both his talent and strength are outstanding. We must be careful in dealing with him."
Lu Buliang looked at Li Gang with some surprise, "How did you know?"
Li Gang said seriously, "Before going on stage, I specifically investigated the information of every player in Kamikaze Academy."
Lu Buliang asked curiously, "Why don't you quit the competition like those four guys who backed out?"
"I won't quit." Li Gang's eyes were filled with determination. "I said I want to prove myself. If I back down because of the ridicule from the audience during the match with Thunder Academy, I would rather stand on the stage again and be beaten to death by my opponent!"
Lu Buliang looked into Li Gang's eyes. He knew that Li Gang had no intention of attracting attention. The determination in his eyes came from the bottom of his heart.
It was his dignity as a soul master that made Li Gang decide to continue participating in the competition, unlike the four main players who chose to withdraw.
This shows that Li Gang's psychological endurance is still very good. At the very least, he is like a soul master, a soul master with faith and willpower.
With faith, the light emitted by people will be more dazzling.
"After losing the game yesterday, I have been paying attention to the game of the Kamikaze Academy. Because I want to redeem the honor I lost in the battle with the Thunderbolt Academy yesterday, I can only defeat the Kamikaze Academy, which is stronger than the Thunderbolt Academy, to prove that I am a soul master and have the dignity of a soul master. I am not a waste!"
As he spoke, Li Gang began to tell Lü Buliang all the information he had found out, "The attack mode of the Kamikaze Academy is very simple. Their members are like seven eagles flying in the air and constantly swooping down to attack. They have a very good grasp of the rhythm."
After listening, Lu Buliang asked: "Then what should we do?"
"We should." Li Gang was about to express his thoughts, but he hesitated and said reluctantly: "As long as you let me stay on the stage to fight, no matter what you want to do, I will listen to you."
"No." Lu Buliang smiled. "When you lost to Thunder Academy yesterday, I told you that you won't have a chance to perform in the next game. Because you are all useless."
Hearing this, Li Gang clenched his fists, feeling unwilling and helpless.
"Both sides get ready." The referee left the fighting arena and shouted, "Open your martial arts spirits—"
As the voice fell, the seven people from the Kamikaze Academy released their martial spirits and spirit rings at the same time. In an instant, Feng Xiaotian and his six companions flew into the sky. Everyone had wings on their backs, and the green spirit power of the seven people blended to form a wind barrier, turning the right half of the fighting spirit arena into a wind zone.
The seven members of the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy also released their martial spirits at the same time. The left half of the fighting spirit arena became dark and cold under the dark aura of the shadow martial spirit.
Six soul rings flickered on Lu Buliang's body, and a black gas burst out from his body, forming ripples that spread in all directions.
Under the impact of the black air, Li Gang was not blown off the stage like before, but used all his strength to resist the repulsion of the black air released by Lu Buliang.
Li Gang was extremely determined at this moment. Even if his body was crushed by Lu Buliang's black energy, he would not be blown off the stage again.
That's right. As a noble, Li Gang admitted that he had neglected his cultivation and lived a lazy life with other noble students in Tiandou Royal Academy. He was perfunctory in the cultivation content given by the teacher every day. He had no strength but tried to imitate others to be rebellious and arrogant.
In fact, when Li Gang was severely injured by the Thunder Academy yesterday, he could have chosen to withdraw from the competition like the four partners who backed out, and continued to live a comfortable and carefree life as an aristocrat. Why did he have to go on stage and endure the cold words and humiliation of Lü Buliang and the audience? And endure the pain of physical injury?
But Li Gang did not choose to withdraw from the competition. He was born into an aristocracy and was also a soul master. Every soul master has his own dignity. Li Gang was more determined than ever before. He wanted to prove himself. Even if he was beaten to death on the soul fighting stage, he wanted to restore his dignity as a soul master. He wanted to use his determination to tell Lü Buliang that he was not a waste, he was a soul master who could not be defeated!
From the corner of his eye, Lu Buliang noticed that Li Gang, who was standing on the left, was stubbornly resisting the impact of the black energy and did not want to be blown off the stage.
The junior high school girl standing on the right was also fighting hard, using her Qin martial spirit to block in front and wrapping her whole body with soul power. She had no intention of being eliminated at all.
The same was true for the other four substitute players of Tiandou Team 2. They released their martial spirits and soul power one by one to resist the impact of Lu Buliang's black energy.
As early as the first three games, these four substitutes knew that Lü Buliang would eliminate his own players first, so their willingness to replace the four main players who withdrew from the competition proved that they were mentally prepared. In any case, none of them wanted to be blown off the stage.
Seeing that his six companions were struggling to resist the impact of the black energy he released, Lu Buliang did not get angry but laughed. He said that if the shadow cannot find the light it wants to assist, then he will become the light himself.
But now, the belief of these six teammates that they would never want to be eliminated makes the light radiating from them become very dazzling.
Lu Buliang felt that this was a team with vitality and vigor. For such a team, he was willing to become an assistant, the shadow of the light, to make this light even more dazzling.
The black energy that was released was retracted into the body, and Li Gang, his junior high school sister, and the other four companions suddenly felt relaxed.
Lu Buliang walked to the far left of the fighting arena and stood behind his six teammates. This was the auxiliary position.
Seeing this scene, all the audience were stunned. Didn't Lu Buliang say that in the next game, he would not give other members of Team 2 a chance to perform?
Why are you willing to be a supporting role again this time?
In the audience, many viewers didn't understand what Lu Buliang was doing.
"Captain, what is Lu Buliang doing?" Qiu Ruoshui looked at Shui Binger with confusion.
Shui Binger smiled, "Maybe we all misjudged Lu Buliang. He is an arrogant person, but he is a little different from those arrogant people."
"What do you mean?" Xuewu asked.
Shui Bing'er looked at Lü Buliang who had voluntarily stepped into the auxiliary position and said, "He is the captain. Perhaps he is using his own way to motivate his teammates. Didn't you notice? The attitude of Li Gang, the former captain of the Tiandou Second Team, is obviously different from before. He must have been enlightened by Lü Buliang and has a goal to strive for."

"Isn't it for the honor of Tianshui College that we practice so hard and try our best to deal with every game?"
After saying that, Shui Bing'er's eyes changed when she looked at Lv Buliang. When the Tiandou Team 2 was competing against the Thunder Academy, she felt that Lv Buliang was willing to become a supporting system because he wanted to win in a more arrogant way.
Until the match between Tiandou Team 2 and Kamikaze Academy, Lu Buliang still chose to assist his teammates.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er's stereotype of Lu Buliang changed greatly.
Lü Buliang is very arrogant because he has the ability to be arrogant. But even though he has the ability to be arrogant, he now chooses not to be arrogant, which proves that he is a person who is arrogant but not arrogant.
Shui Bing'er was very afraid of meeting Lv Buliang in the competition before, but now she was looking forward to it. Blazing Fire, Thunder, and Divine Wind, the three major elemental academies had all fought against Lv Buliang, and it was unknown what unexpected things Lv Buliang would do when facing Tianshui Academy.
When Shui Bing'er came back to her senses, the battle on the fighting arena had already begun.
Standing behind six teammates, the first and second soul rings under Lu Buliang's feet lit up, and at the same time locked onto the shadows of the six teammates standing in a row in front of him.
The second soul skill, Shadow Attack, is activated.
Six teammates gain the ability to disappear into the shadows.
The first order that Lu Buliang conveyed to them through shadow communication was to attack in groups.
Li Gang and the other six men all turned into shadows and disappeared into the ground. At the same time, they also understood the meaning of "group attack".
Lu Buliang wanted them all to go out and fight. No one needed to protect anyone else. They could fight, attack, and sneak attack as shadows.
Any fighting style is fine as long as you can defeat your opponent.
"superior!"
After receiving the order from Lu Buliang, led by Li Gang, Xiaoxuemei and the other four substitutes took advantage of their access to the surface and directly used their respective soul skills.
Because he was in shadow state, when Li Gang released the copper ring martial spirit, even Feng Xiaotian, who was high above him in the air, could not see Li Gang's movements.
Unknowingly, Feng Xiaotian, the captain, was directly trapped by three copper rings.
At the same time, the younger sister also vibrated the strings of the piano in the form of a shadow, and countless melodies turned into cutting waves and attacked the seven people from Kamikaze Academy from all directions.
All six of them used their flying ability to avoid the attack of the Music Slasher.
Only Feng Xiaotian, who was trapped in the copper ring, was unable to drive the wings behind him to dodge, and bore all the attacks of the musical wave head-on.
Seeing this, the vice-captain of Kamikaze Academy shouted, "Captain——"
