Chapter 206: Hidden Tactics

The Tianxing Team and the Tiandou Royal Team both had their main members injured, which is good news for the other three teams.

The third match is Baiguang Team versus Thunder Team.

This time Lei Ying and Yu Tianxin appear in the lineup together, but Yu Tianxin is at the front of the team, not Lei Ying.

"Haha, could the Soul Ancestor be stronger than your Soul King?"

Baiguang Team's members sensed something off in Thunder Team's formation, deliberately provoked Thunder Team to see if they could obtain useful information.

"Too much chatter, you can't win the match." Yu Tianxin merely glanced at Baiguang Team's member.

When the referee announced the start, both teams released their martial souls and Soul Rings; upon seeing Yu Tianxin's Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Weapon Soul, they understood why Yu Tianxin could stand in the Team Leader's position.

It is a top-tier martial soul on par with the Haotian Hammer; the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Weapon Soul is extremely famous, and its appearance caused Baiguang Team to show a fearful expression.

"Even though he has the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Weapon Soul, he is still a Soul Ancestor; mainly watch out for that Soul King," Baiguang Team's Team Leader set his sights on Lei Ying.

A Soul Ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, and one black always draws attention.

Whether in martial soul quality or the team's Soul Master lineup, Thunder Team is stronger than Baiguang Team.

Thunder Team's support Soul Master has the Exclusive Amplification required by Thunder Attribute Soul Masters.

Yu Tianxin is a Four Ring Soul Ancestor, but his martial soul is the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus; under Exclusive Amplification, the unleashed thunder‑electric power is terrifying.

The Soul Battle between these two teams was exceptionally fierce, but Thunder Team had the edge and defeated Baiguang Team.

Both teams suffered severe injuries among members; Thunder Team had two seriously injured, Baiguang Team three.

The difference is that among Thunder Team's substitutes, there is also a Soul Ancestor member.

To obtain the 70,000‑year Yinlei Magic Dragon Left Arm Bone, the sect behind Thunder Team has spared no expense.

After a brief rest, the Tiandou Royal Team will start its second group match, the fourth match of today's five groups.

Their opponent is Shenfeng Team; Huo Wushuang was injured in the previous match against Baiguang Team and cannot compete, replaced by a Thirty Eight Level Soul Elder.

Facing the weakened Shenfeng Team, the members of the Tiandou Royal Team all breathed a sigh of relief.

Tuo Yu cannot compete, and the Tiandou Royal Team also substituted another player.

All five teams in the arena are watching each other, completely unaware that their matches are being monitored by the Spirit Hall.

"Yan, what do you think of their strength? Could they threaten us?"

"Xie Yue, are you joking? With the three of us, no team can be our opponent."

"Don't be careless, especially this one in the arena who has been mentioned repeatedly by the Elders; he must be extraordinary."

As the golden generation of the Spirit Hall, they attract a lot of attention, especially in this Soul Master Competition, where failure is not permitted.

"Isn't he just a leftover of the Fenglei Sect? He even destroyed our sect; what can he achieve? He's merely a stepping stone for us to claim the championship."

Yan's gaze held contempt; the talents of the three of them attracted the Spirit Hall's attention, having broken through to Soul King at twenty, far surpassing the four below them.

Breaking through to Soul King at twenty versus nearly twenty‑five leaves a gap of over four years.

Yan confidently believes that by twenty‑five he will break through to Soul Emperor.

"What a powerful Black Thunder," Hu Liena whispered.

Her gaze fell on Tie Li; the Black Thunder he unleashed possessed terrifying destructive power beyond any ordinary martial soul.

On the arena, Tie Li single‑handedly eliminated three members of Shenfeng Team, forcing them to concede.

Tiandou Royal Team gains another point.

"His teammates are weak; that will be his Achilles heel," Xie Yue said.

"Why must we watch them? Maybe they'll be eliminated by other teams during the match;

I heard disciples of the Haotian Sect are in a team called Shilake Academy; I look forward to facing them."

Behind the three of them stood members of the Spirit Hall's competing team, also ordered by the Elders to watch the five teams' matches and get early intel on potential opponents.

Tie Li led his team to victory, but Gu Qi was injured, seriously, having been struck by Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian together, damaging his muscles and bones; he may not be able to compete normally tomorrow.

"Are you okay?" Zhao Tianhe stepped forward and immediately ordered a healing‑type Soul Master in the team to treat him.

"Teacher Zhao, don't worry, I'm fine," Gu Qi said, gritting through the pain.

"Don't push yourself; we only need one more win to advance to the next round," Tie Li said.

Tiandou Royal Team has accumulated two points, giving it the highest chance among the five teams to advance to the next round.

After the Tiandou Royal Team vs. Shenfeng Team match ended, the next bout was Thunder Team against Tianxing Team.

If Thunder Team wins this match, their points will match Tiandou Royal Team's, giving them a strong chance to enter the next round.

Tianxing Team certainly cannot accept defeat; if they lose, their situation will be like Shenfeng Team's—practically eliminated.

Therefore, they must win this battle.

But the last time they faced Tiandou Royal Team, the Tianxing Team's captain was seriously wounded by Tie Li's assault; against Thunder Team, their advantage is limited.

Tianxing Team's two strong‑attack Soul Ancestors, one is too badly injured to compete, so they can only send a substitute—a Thirty Nine Level Soul Elder.

In contrast, Thunder Team still fields a configuration of one Soul King and six Soul Ancestors.

Facing Thunder Team, the Tianxing Team members have lost their initial arrogance and are now strictly prepared for the match.

Even Xing Yu hadn't expected this situation; in the conference room he was very confident, believing he could lead the team into the next round.

"Yan, who do you think will win this match?"

"Thunder Team, for sure. Just from their match with Baiguang Team, you can see that in both Soul Master pairing and martial soul complementarity, Thunder Team is superior."

Xie Yue nodded, sharing the same view.

Hu Liena had a different opinion; she thought Tianxing Team concealed tactics, possibly to counter the Spirit Hall's squad, but being forced into a corner, this hidden tactic would be used early, otherwise even advancing to the next round could become a problem.

On the arena, Tianxing Team quickly fell into disadvantage; under Thunder Team's relentless pressure, they constantly risked elimination.

"It's a Soul Fusion Technique; Tianxing Team actually concealed a Soul Fusion Technique."

"Being forced into a corner by Thunder Team, Tianxing Team's trump card had to be used early."
