Chapter 179: Soul Burial Team

Walking into the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, they arrived at the Central Great Soul Arena via the Spirit Fighting battle passage.

Dugu Yan temporarily separated from Ning Feiliu; after smiling and saying a few words of encouragement to him, she went to the spectator stands to watch.

After all, although the opponents of Ning Feiliu and his team were very powerful this time, they were not yet at an outrageous level—compared to Ning Feiliu's past record of defeating Soul Ancestors while at a lower rank.

Therefore, in Dugu Yan's view, this team battle spirit fight would be, just as Oslo had said earlier, another unremarkable victory.

It was not just them who thought this; the spectators who had come to watch this team battle spirit fight basically all thought the same.

After all, the Moon Emperor Team, with Ning Feiliu, was already too overpowered at the Soul Elder level, and Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, Ye Lingling, and the others were not weak either.

As for the Moon Emperor Team's opponents this time—the Soul Burial Team—by comparison, although the members generally had powerful cultivation, the weakest of the seven members, the Auxiliary System Soul Master, was at level 37 soul power, four other members had reached level 37 soul power, and the remaining two members were at level 38 soul power.

However, their martial souls and soul ring combinations were more or less inferior to the Moon Emperor Team, especially their martial souls.

The martial souls on the Moon Emperor Team's side were all first-class or even top-tier martial souls, all famous and powerful martial souls: Wind Bell Bird, Ghost Leopard, Basalt, Nine Heart Begonia, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon...

These martial souls had all left legends on the Douluo Continent; even the seemingly ordinary martial souls of Yufeng and Oslo were actually famous martial souls on the Douluo Continent inherited from their ancestors.

After all, no matter what, the students who entered the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy were all noble children with status; in the original plot, without special exceptions, people like those from Shrek Academy with no status or unknown origins found it difficult to set foot in the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

The families of Yufeng and Oslo were also somewhat famous noble powerhouses within Heaven Dou City, and their martial souls were also quite powerful; they could not be considered top-tier, but they were first-class martial souls.

The Basalt martial soul of the remaining Shi Family Brothers was one of the four great Divine Beasts, on par with the dragon, phoenix, and tiger; it might be slightly inferior to a dragon-type martial soul, but it was undoubtedly a top-tier defense-system martial soul, without a doubt.

Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia martial soul needed no further explanation; it was a top-tier healing-system martial soul, and its healing ability was said to make it hard for one to die even if one wanted to.

It was not because its functions were less comprehensive than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul that it could definitely be called the number one auxiliary-system martial soul.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial souls of Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, known as the Blue Dragon Twin Jades, needed no further introduction; they were absolute top-tier martial souls and the current number one assault-system beast martial soul on the continent.

The power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect made the reputation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul resound throughout the Douluo Continent.

Except for being unable to defeat the Clear Sky Hammer, it could be said to look down upon all living things.

Finally, it seemed that only "Yafei's" martial soul—the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon—appeared relatively obscure compared to the powerful top-tier martial souls of the other members of the Moon Emperor Team, but everyone knew that as long as "Yafei" grew up, the name of the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon martial soul would resound throughout the entire Douluo Continent in the future.

After all... "Yafei" had defeated Yu Tianheng, who possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, by relying on this unique, comprehensive, and powerful Crescent Moon Divine Weapon martial soul.

Therefore, many people believed that the two names "Yafei" and "Crescent Moon Divine Weapon" would become a new legend of the Douluo Continent in the future.

And they were also watching a new legend slowly rising.

Watching a legend rise—what a tempting and exciting thing that was.

That was why so many people supported "Yafei."

After all, it is human nature to admire strength; the strong naturally possess a powerful attraction, and even if they might not be perfect in every aspect, powerful strength can represent everything.

And what about the Moon Emperor Team's opponents this time—the Soul Burial Team?

Although their general cultivation was far higher than the proud sons of heaven in the Moon Emperor Team, their martial souls were very ordinary.

The best martial soul among their team members was their captain Li Zang's martial soul—the Burial Soul Blade; its attacks could carry a fierce and murderous aura, and its attack capability could be ranked among many tool spirits, but in reality, it could not even compare to Oslo's Ghost Leopard martial soul.

The other members' martial souls were ordinary ones like the War Wolf martial soul, the Ghost Head Blade martial soul, the Sickle martial soul, the Ghost Ape martial soul, and the relatively ordinary auxiliary-system martial soul, the Healing Book.

Among the soul rings of the Soul Burial Team members, there were even two members with white ten-year soul rings; this strength configuration was far worse than the Moon Emperor Team's all-best soul ring combinations.

In short, the outcome of this battle was, in the eyes of the spectators and the many members of the Moon Emperor Team, completely without suspense.

Ning Feiliu also felt it was without suspense, because... this was his final one-hundredth consecutive victory; no matter what, he had persisted until now, so the final victory of this mission...

He was determined to win it! Even if he had to exhaust all his strength, even if he were facing an opponent far stronger than himself, he had to secure the victory of this final spirit fighting battle.

And after this spirit fighting battle, he could temporarily bid farewell to the Soul Fighting Arena.

After all, after obtaining the Presence of Mind Rune, staying in the Soul Fighting Arena to continue participating in spirit fighting battles would not bring him much improvement; as someone invincible at his own level, if he did not have the rewards granted by the mission, then staying in the Soul Fighting Arena to bully the weak was meaningless.

Moreover, bullying the weak too much was meaningless and could instead cause his actual combat level and combat intuition to decline.

For example, when you face a powerful opponent, they can react extremely quickly to your attacks, dodging while immediately launching a counterattack.

You have to react in time under these circumstances and make counter-measures.

But when you face a weaker opponent, let alone counterattacking, the opponent might not even have time to dodge.

Slowly, you get used to the kind of matches where weak opponents don't seize opportunities to counterattack you, or you feel that even if the opponent's attacks hit you, it doesn't matter, and you can just take them head-on.

And once you get used to this way of bullying the weak, if you later encounter a truly powerful opponent who immediately seizes the opportunity to kill you in one blow, you are finished.

Of course, the most important thing is one's own mindset.

If you despise your opponent in ordinary battles, feeling that no opponent is anything special, not being careful or cautious at all, and always feeling that you are invincible in the world, then you will certainly encounter a crisis at a critical moment in the future.

At the very least, San Ge's principle of "a lion hunting a rabbit must also use its full strength" is still correct.

Ning Feiliu did not let his guard down in the slightest, even though he had never been defeated during this period, and in the eyes of others, he was already an existence nearly invincible at his level.

However, he was absolutely determined to secure this final victory.

Ning Feiliu had an idea for what to do next... and that was to go outside Heaven Dou City to gain experience.

After obtaining the World Rune, Presence of Mind, he would complete the remaining few research missions and then go to the Douluo Continent outside Heaven Dou City to gain experience.

And this also happened to trigger a mission.

Therefore, after this spirit fighting battle, he would leave Heaven Dou City, bid farewell to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, and also bid farewell to the Moon Emperor Team.

However, he did not tell Ye Lingling, Yu Tianheng, and the others beside him yet; he intended to tell them only after winning this battle.

At this moment, the members of the Moon Emperor Team were all chatting nonchalantly.

Only Ye Lingling... curiously glanced at the calm Ning Feiliu; she felt... as if Ning Feiliu had changed slightly just now.

And at this moment, on the other side of the spirit fighting contestant passage.

"Two lords." The captain of the Soul Burial Team, Li Zang, led the other members of the Soul Burial Team and looked somewhat respectfully at the two people hidden under cloaks in front of them.

"Act according to the plan later; if this matter is successful, the Bishop will reward you heavily." One of them said sternly to the six members of the Soul Burial Team. "Yes, we will certainly do our utmost to help you complete the mission." Li Zang and the others quickly said respectfully.

They were also saying this from the bottom of their hearts; after all, this mission was simply a huge surprise that had fallen from the sky for them.

Being able to establish a connection with the big shots of the Spirit Hall, and most importantly, this mission was not difficult—it was merely to remove or shatter the mask of that famous genius Spirit Master "Yafei."

Moreover, with the two lords sent by the Spirit Hall acting as the main force, they only needed to assist these two lords to easily join the Spirit Hall and receive generous rewards.

The price of failure is not that tragic, after all, this Spirit Fighting Battle is not a Life-and-Death Fight.

So why wouldn't they be happy to do it?

They would certainly be very happy, and would work extremely hard for it; even at the risk of being seriously injured, they must help the two lords of the Spirit Hall complete their mission! "Very good..." the two of them nodded and said with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, inside one of the VIP boxes above the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena at this moment.

Salas sipped his tea indifferently and thought to himself, "Yafei... who exactly are you? Why hide your face like this?"

He had a premonition that the true identity of "Yafei"... was very important!

This was the key reason why "Yafei" had refused the Spirit Hall's invitations again and again!

So he must know what the face under "Yafei's" mask looked like, and who it could be!

"Very soon... I will know," Salas muttered.

He looked toward the Douhun Platform below...

The central Great Soul Arena of Heaven Dou City.

"Welcome everyone to our central Great Soul Arena at the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena today! Today we will begin the most anticipated match of the Team Battle Spirit Fight!" The host of the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena said loudly to the many spectators using an Amplification Soul Guidance Device.

"Ahhhhhh—" the many spectators in the surrounding stands all cheered enthusiastically.

"I believe everyone already knows that the upcoming Team Battle Spirit Fight will be against the... Moon Emperor Team, which has been undefeated since its creation and has currently reached a 19-match winning streak!" the host shouted fanatically.

"Moon Emperor! Moon Emperor!"

"Moon Emperor! Moon Emperor!"

"Yafei! Yafei!"

The spectators all became fanatical, loudly cheering the two names "Moon Emperor Team" and "Yafei".

"They can be said to be a gathering of genius Spirit Masters, and just as many spectators have said, they... will be the generation of heaven's pride of our Heaven Dou Empire in the future; this is absolutely beyond doubt!" The host smiled slightly and shouted again, stirring up the fanatical emotions.

"But their next opponents... are not weak either!" He changed the subject and said, "After all, although the Moon Emperor Team is the future of our Heaven Dou Empire, they are about to face the Soul Burial Team, which already has four level-39 Soul Elders; the outcome is still unknown!"

"So... let us wait and see! Which side will take the victory!"

"Let us welcome... the Moon Emperor Team!"

Following the host's announcement, Ning Feiliu, along with Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, Ye Lingling, and the others, slowly ascended the Great Soul Arena.

As the eight members of the Moon Emperor Team appeared, the spectators' cheers rose to another wave.

"Moon Emperor! Moon Emperor!"

"Moon Emperor! Moon Emperor!"

"Yafei! Yafei!"

Ning Feiliu, Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, Ye Lingling, the Shi Family Brothers, and the others had calm expressions, but Oslo and Yufeng were acting a bit like show-offs, somewhat enjoying the cheers coming from all directions.

Just at this moment, the host also announced, "And next... let us welcome the Soul Burial Team!"

It must be said that this host was still somewhat impartial; although he had a slight personal preference for the Moon Emperor Team, he still appeared quite fair toward the Soul Burial Team.

Then, the eight members of the Soul Burial Team came onto the stage together.

However, Ning Feiliu felt a bit strange.

"Eh?" he gave a light exclamation.

"The other side... that Auxiliary System Soul Master isn't playing this time?" Yu Tianheng also noticed something wrong at this moment and said in a low voice.

That's right, the only Auxiliary System Soul Master in the opponent's team was not on the stage this time.

Instead, there were two extra team members wearing cloaks who had never been seen before.

"Two new team members directly?" Oslo asked curiously at this time.

"No Auxiliary System Soul Master... what are they thinking?" Yufeng curled his lips and said.

They had previously received news that the other side would add one more person to reach an eight-person team battle.

They had thought it was just the other side adding one new team member.

They didn't expect... that this time the Soul Burial Team actually didn't field their own Auxiliary System Soul Master, but instead fielded two new team members who hadn't appeared before.

But in a Team Battle Spirit Fight, the role of an Auxiliary System Soul Master cannot be compared to adding two more Battle Soul Masters.

The Enhancement, healing, and sustainability provided by an Auxiliary System Soul Master can allow one Battle Soul Master to exert the effectiveness of one and a half or even two Battle Soul Masters.

This is equivalent to letting a normal seven-person team have the combat power of three, or even six, additional Battle Soul Masters.

Ning Feiliu, however, always felt something was wrong, and he immediately whispered to Yu Tianheng and the others, "Be careful, the other side might have prepared for this."

Hearing "Yafei's" words, Yufeng, Oslo, and the others, who had originally slightly underestimated the Soul Burial Team, became a bit more serious at this moment.

"Alright..." everyone nodded and said.

"Let us... prepare to welcome this wonderful Spirit Fighting Battle! Let us wait and see, who will... win! Who will lose!" Following the host's order, the Spirit Fighting Battle began immediately! (End of chapter)
