Chapter 29: The Juya Team

"Juya Team, Team Leader Sheya, Level 29, Agile Attack-type Soul Master, martial soul Sheya Dagger;"

"Deputy Team Leader Yanfei, Level 28, Strong Attack-type Soul Master, possesses a rare flying martial soul, the Five‑colored Goose."

"Besides the captain and deputy, one person to watch is their team's Control-type Soul Master Yanxi, Soul Power Level 26, whose martial soul is Ghost‑Shadow Mirror, Second Soul Skill: Replicate Soul Master's phantom, the duplicate having only fifty percent of that Soul Master's combat power."

"According to Juya Team's usual combat style, they often copy the opponent's Control-type Soul Master, because even a fifty‑percent influence of a Control-type Soul Master on the battle is still terrifying, so we must pay extra attention to any move by this Control-type Soul Master."

"In the past two days, Duolangbu has lost count of how many times he has said it;"

"Just before going on stage, Duolangbu said it again."

"After two days together, the relationships among teammates have eased considerably."

"\"Understood, Team Leader, we will watch out, \" Daise replied helplessly."

"It may be their first Team Soul Battle, and everyone's face shows a hint of nervousness."

"Tie Li touched the mask on his face; he is the only one in the team wearing a mask to conceal his true appearance."

"Compared with individual Soul Battle, the audience's enthusiasm for Team Soul Battle rises several levels."

"\"Next, please welcome Juya Team; viewers familiar with them already know they have achieved a Three Consecutive Wins in Team Soul Battle, making them a very strong team. \""

"Amid the audience's cheers, the Juya Team Soul Masters, clad in teal combat armor, step onto the Soul Battle Platform."

"\"Their opponents are a brand‑new team, Yan Team. \""

"Yan Team is the name of Tie Li's squad, coined by Fu Zhuguan."

"In a Gui Bin Bao Xiang overlooking the Soul Battle Platform, Fu Zhuguan stands carefully to the side."

"The private box provides a clear view of everything on the platform; the sole person seated in the soft chair inside is watching the two teams on the Soul Battle Platform."

"\"Fu Zhuguan, how confident are you that this team can beat the opponent? Recently that Feilisi fellow has taken a lot of Gold Soul Coins, \" he said, his flat tone hinting at a hint of displeasure."

"\"Sir, rest assured, this time he won't take a single Gold Soul Coin. \""

"\"That's best. \""

"......"

"While Juya Team observes the opponent, Tie Li and his companions also watch Juya Team."

"At the front of the team stands the Juya Team captain Sheya, about 1.8 m tall, yet appearing thin and sickly, with an unsettling smile on his face."

"To Sheya's left is deputy captain Yanfei, whose multicolored hair falls to his shoulders; although he is a male Soul Master, his face bears a coquettish expression; to the right is Juya Team's Control-type Soul Master Xia, silver‑white translucent hair hanging straight to the waist, eyes sharp, exuding a cold aura."

"Her gaze stays on Tie Li, and an inexplicable sense of danger makes her uneasy."

"She may change tactics and give him the Second Soul Skill."

"Xia's eyes flicker slightly as she mutters to herself."

"Behind them are two slight, middle‑aged Soul Masters; according to Fu Zhuguan's data, these two are Agile Attack-type Soul Masters in the team."

"At the rear of the team are the Defense-type Soul Master and the Support-type Soul Master, both male Soul Masters around thirty."

"Three Agile Attack, one Strong Attack, one Control, one Defense, one Support; based solely on the data, their combat style leans toward swift, decisive battles."

"Moreover, their past Team Soul Battle battles have indeed shown this swift‑for‑the‑level combat style."

"\"Soul Battle begins! \""

"The referee, seeing both sides ready, immediately declared the Soul Battle start."

"Both sides instantly entered combat; the beast martial soul Soul Master's body transformed, entering martial soul possession, while the weapon martial soul Soul Master summoned his martial soul."

"Soul Rings materialized one after another, their brilliant glow enveloping the Soul Battle Platform; fourteen Soul Masters simultaneously released their martial souls and Soul Rings, creating a truly shocking scene."

"No wonder Team Soul Battle is more popular."

"The Juya Team's captain, deputy captain, and Control-type Soul Master each have a two‑yellow Soul Ring configuration; the remaining four each have the standard one‑white one‑yellow setup, making the Soul Ring configurations of the two teams identical."

"Aside from Tie Li and Duolangbu, Support Soul Master Caixin also has a two‑yellow Soul Ring configuration."

"\"Go! \" Sheya launched the first offensive; three Agile Attack-type Soul Masters in their team target the hardest‑to‑deal Control-type Soul Master, who possesses two Hundred‑Year Soul Rings, meaning two Hundred‑Year Soul Techniques."

"\"Pure lotus blooms, one petal for power, one petal for speed. \""

"Caixin's Soul Ring glows, her lotus martial soul blossoms on her body, two yellow‑shining petals fall, turning into pollen that lands on everyone."

"Ten percent power increase!"

"Ten percent speed increase!"

"The opposing Support Soul Master also casts a soul skill to boost teammates; his two soul skills both increase speed, stacking to a fifteen‑percent speed boost."

"The three Sheya allies' speed increases further, allowing them to bypass the three front Strong Attack-type Soul Masters."

"Zonghao's Second Soul Ring lights up."

"Second Soul Skill: Chidun Zhaozhe!"

"It reduces the opponent's speed and reaction by twenty percent, a strong counter to Agile Attack-type Soul Masters."

"When their speed slows, gaps appear."

"Daise and Baijiao immediately counterattack, aiming to eliminate the two Agile Attack-type Soul Masters other than Sheya."

"Baijiao's First Soul Ring and Second Soul Skill activate, boosting strength, physique and burst power; combined with Caixin's soul skill boost, his state reaches its peak."

"He bends low then leaps like a raging tiger, lunging at one Agile Attack-type Soul Master."

"Duolangbu's vine‑controlled tendrils restrict three; his initial goal was to eliminate the opponent's two Agile Attack-type Soul Masters."

"Sheya's strength is formidable, not guaranteed to eliminate them; better to concentrate on eliminating two."

"Then the situation becomes seven versus five, with our side holding the advantage."

"Duolangbu had specifically studied the opponent's tactics before devising this plan, and it turned out exactly as he had guessed."

"Juya Team's Xia first sensed something amiss; her First Soul Ring lit up, and the hovering Ghost‑Shadow Mirror in front of her emitted three black rays, each striking Tie Li, Baijiao, and Daise."

"In Xia's view, the opponent's plan is to have the three Strong Attack-type Soul Masters cooperate with the Control-type Soul Master to eliminate the three Sheya allies."

"Baijiao and Daise, brimming with confidence, seem to have already envisioned the Agile Attack-type Soul Masters being knocked out."

"\"Off…... \""

"You obviously missed." The Agile Attack-type Soul Master who dodged Baijiao's full‑force strike flashed a hint of relief on his face.

Only a teammate would know how terrifying Xia's soul skill is.

Daise's situation was exactly the same as Baijiao's; his full‑force strike missed, and now he would have to face the opponent's counterattack.

Yanfei saw Xia's First Soul Technique land on Tie Li, and he intended to eliminate that Strong Attack-type Soul Master, who possessed two Hundred-Year Soul Rings, from the battle.

In the Martial Soul Possession State, he flew in midair, his feathers displaying a rainbow of colors.

The First Soul Ring suddenly lit up, the twin wings became razor‑sharp like two curved blades, maintaining a diving posture in midair, using the momentum to glide downward, the sharp wing blades about to slash at Tie Li.
