Chapter 191: Unexpected Battle Situation

The current top five teams by points are Thunder Team, Shenfeng Team, Sleek Team, Tiandou Royal Team and Tianshui Team.

In the FiveElementsAcademy, Elephant Armor Team and Blazing Fire Academy are on the brink of elimination.

Tiandou Royal Team and Tianshui Team have the same points, each having lost three matches.

Thunder Team currently ranks first and has never been defeated.

When facing Thunder Team, Sleek Team chose to forfeit, while Shenfeng Team and Tianshui Team both lost to Thunder Team.

This All Soul Sect team, judging solely by its apparent strength, probably only the Tiandou Royal Team that possesses a Soul King could be its opponent, which is what most people think.

"This Thunder Team is no simple foe," Zhi Lin added.

The strength displayed by Thunder Team has attracted attention from many quarters, and investigations easily reveal that a sect behind Thunder Team is intervening.

"The 70,000-year-old Yinlei Magic Dragon Left Arm Bone has an overwhelming allure," Snow Star Prince couldn't help but say.

Everyone instinctively thought of Tie Li, as this might be his only chance to retrieve the sect's heirloom soul bone.

Even if Tie Li eventually becomes a titled Douluo, could he retrieve the soul bone from the Spirit Hall?

Everyone could only respond with a question mark.

As a transcendent SoulMasterForce, the Spirit Hall's status is extremely high, and it possesses an enormous number of Soul Masters.

The Tian Dou Emperor listened to their conversation without speaking; in his mind he had already recognized Tie Li's talent and intended to recruit him into the Imperial House to serve it.

Rather than helping Tie Li remold Fenglei Sect.

Perhaps with Imperial assistance, Fenglei Sect will bear the Tian Dou Imperial House's seal, but any single power is ultimately unstable; with the passage of time, perhaps one day Fenglei Sect will break free from the Tian Dou Imperial House.

But if Tie Li becomes a tribute of the Imperial House, the future outcome would be entirely different.

Before turning twenty‑five, he will already be a Five Ring Soul King, and is very likely to break through the titled Douluo in the future.

After defeating the Blazing Fire Academy, Tie Li originally did not intend to join the remaining matches.

In the matches over the next few days, facing teams of modest strength, they easily defeated their opponents.

On the arena of the Grand Soul Battlefield today, Tiandou Royal Team faced a team from Suixing Academy.

It was expected, as usual, that Tuo Yu would control the field while Gu Qi and Zhang Xiaohe would be responsible for eliminating the opponent's Support-type Soul Masters first, but the actual situation exceeded their control.

"You are being far too naive,"

A lithe figure blocked Gu Qu's path; blue‑white intertwined Lightning Light formed wings, granting him brief flight.

Two yellow and two purple, four Soul Rings floated beneath him; his martial soul is the Thunder Feather Snake, a top‑grade soul of the Thunder Attribute.

At Soul Power Level 45, he showed no hesitation when facing Gu Qi.

On the Suixing Team side, three Soul Ancestors appeared, a development beyond what Tuo Yu and the others understood.

With the Four Soul Sect Three Soul Ancestors configuration, Suixing Team's strength is by no means inferior to that of FiveElementsAcademy.

Zhao Tianhe, seeing four Soul Ancestors appear in the Suixing Team on the arena, paled and immediately began searching for information.

Previously, Suixing Team's roster consisted of one Soul Ancestor and six Soul Ancestors, and they lost only four matches, to Sleek Team, Shenfeng Team, Thunder Team and Elephant Armor Team respectively.

They never revealed their strength before; why suddenly play their trump card against Tiandou Royal Team?

In fact, their captain arranged this deliberately; if they revealed strength early, other teams would guard against them, so this can only catch opponents off guard.

The Suixing Team captain discovered that the Tiandou Royal Team's Soul King does not participate in every match, only when facing strong opponents.

To avoid drawing attention, Suixing Team kept its strength hidden; fortunately, the four academy teams they lost to earlier were already tough opponents, and even at full strength they might not have won.

They concealed themselves for so long just to take the point from Tiandou Royal Team.

They now aim for an all‑victory, which could also advance them to the next round; their two remaining strong opponents are Blazing Fire Academy and Tianshui Team.

In terms of Soul Master lineup, they are stronger than Blazing Fire Academy, with a high win rate, and they hold an attribute advantage against Tianshui Team.

As long as they take the point from Tiandou Royal Team, there will essentially be no major problem.

At least, that's what they think.

Facing Suixing Team's sudden surge, Tiandou Royal Team kept retreating in defeat.

Two agile attack-type Soul Ancestors simultaneously assaulted Ning Ning; Mu Wei and Jue Dun immediately unleashed soul skills to protect, while Tuo Yu's Hundred-Year Diamond Bear counter‑attacked, yet the outcome could not be changed.

With the elimination of Ning Ning, a Support-type Soul Ancestor, the situation was essentially decided.

Losing this point means they cannot afford any more defeats in the upcoming matches, or risk elimination.

This sudden development was beyond the expectation of all members of the Second Team; even Zhao Tianhe did not anticipate Suixing Team's deep concealment.

Having beaten Tiandou Royal Team, all seven members of Suixing Team showed a hint of smiles.

Even Meng Shenji in the VIP seats did not expect Suixing Team to have hidden strength.

"It seems the 70,000-year-old Yinlei Magic Dragon Left Arm Bone is highly tempting to Thunder Attribute Soul Masters,"

Meng Shenji said with implication, having already seen a hint of a Thunder Element sect on several of Suixing Team's Soul Ancestors.

"Three matches remain; they cannot lose a single one to guarantee advancement to the next round," Zhi Lin said.

"Suixing Academy will next face Blazing Fire Academy and Tianshui Academy; they have four Soul Ancestors, and judging by apparent strength, their chances of winning are high," Snow Star Prince expressed.

"Tianshui Academy? I think they will find it hard to defeat Tianshui Team," a member of the Imperial House said.

A refined man in his thirties maintained a faint smile, constantly observing his noble etiquette, and appeared very serious about everything.

"Possibly, after all it's the FiveElementsAcademy; each has its own hidden tactics,"

……

In the hotel, Tie Li did not receive news of their victory but of a crushing defeat; the hidden-strength Suixing Academy suddenly erupted when facing the Second Team, deploying four Soul Ancestors.

If they lose this point again, Tie Li must take the field; to be safe, he should participate in the remaining three matches to prevent any team from, like Suixing Team, concealing strength.

Tie Li did not refuse, as he indeed needs to advance to the next round and cannot afford any mishap.

With Tie Li, a Soul King, stationed, it will be hard to find a loophole against Tiandou Royal Team.
