Chapter 231: Three-Way Battle: Nan Feihuang's Decision

Drawing lots is, in fact, how the order of appearance for this three-way singles battle is decided.

The side that draws the later lot will undoubtedly hold a slight advantage.

"Little brother, let me do it, let me do it! Big sister has such good luck!" Nan Feiling looked at Nan Feihuang with anticipation; as the vice-captain, she couldn't always just be a mascot; she still had to make some contribution to the team.

Nan Feihuang smiled faintly, "Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Third Sister!"

Drawing a lot was such a trivial matter that he didn't care about it at all; it was the same whoever did it. Even if they drew to go first, it didn't matter to him—it would just mean fighting one extra person.

"You got it!" Nan Feiling happily arrived at the center of the venue. The person drawing for Spirit Hall Academy was their Support System Spirit Master, Xu Yu. It seemed Xie Yue couldn't be bothered to come up and draw, and since Xu Yu was of no use in the singles matches, they just let him come up to show his face.

For Star Luo, it was Dai Weisi. He was the first to pick up a lot, and it had a '1' written on it. He couldn't help but click his tongue; this luck was truly terrible.

Nan Feiling opened the slip of paper in her hand; it had a '3' written on it. She immediately shouted excitedly, "Little brother, little brother, look, big sister drew number 3."

Nan Feihuang smiled slightly, "Sister, that's a great draw!"

If she was number 3, then Spirit Hall was undoubtedly number 2.

They had originally thought both sides were about to stage a duel of strength.

"What will the Flying General do at a time like this? The best choice now is actually to forfeit the singles. With the strength of Gu Lei Academy, winning against Star Luo in the team battle shouldn't be too difficult," Ning Fengzhi judged.

Yet, unexpectedly, as soon as Ying Wei stepped onto the stage, he said, "Referee, I concede this match."

This three-way battle would begin with Spirit Hall and Star Luo Royal Academy.

She also felt very unwilling in her heart. If not for Tang San losing control and killing people, one of the sides standing on the stage right now would have been Shrek. As someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she could have also saved a little face for the sect.

But at this moment, Sword Douluo behind him shook his head, "No, I have a feeling he might go up himself and take on all fourteen people from the opposing sides."

Whichever academy that person belonged to, that academy would be able to advance directly to the finals.

"Grandpa Sword, you think too highly of him, don't you? No matter how strong he is, can he really take on fourteen people alone?" Ning Rongrong said unhappily. Most of her teachers and classmates had been driven away by the Spirit Hall, and now she could only stay by Ning Fengzhi's side to continue watching the battle by relying on the face of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The two losing sides would then have to conduct a team battle in the afternoon to determine the final spot.

None of the people present were fools. Although people like Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo discovered it later than Xun Yu, they also saw it completely at this moment.

"Hmm, conceding without a fight?" Lan Xue frowned, "Not good, these two academies are actually joining forces to target my son."

It seemed Spirit Hall wanted to join forces with Star Luo to consume the strength of the Gu Lei Team as much as possible in the singles matches.

The first to take the stage for Star Luo was Ying Wei, that guy with the Inflated Water Buffalo martial soul, while for Spirit Hall Academy, it was Li Kai, with the Black Horned Wild Boar martial soul.

The winning side would remain on the stage to defend it, and then the Gu Lei Kingdom would take the stage to challenge, repeating the cycle until only one person remained on the stage.

This was what many people thought; the Master in the original work had indeed done exactly this.

Therefore, the little witch was unhappy with all three academies below at this moment, thinking only: lose, all of you lose, it would be best if all three were heavily damaged.

"I don't know this Flying General, but I know his mother, that crazy woman. If the situation on the stage were replaced by her, she would definitely choose to go first. That was exactly what she did back then," Sword Douluo said.

He recalled the All-Continent Spirit Master Elite Tournament from over twenty years ago. At that time, that determined young girl stood proudly on the stage holding the Xuanbing Fangtian Halberd. In a three-way battle, she defeated nine people from the other two academies all by herself, gaining a huge advantage for that year's Tianshui Academy.

If not for the huge gap in overall strength between Tianshui and Spirit Hall in the subsequent team battle, perhaps Spirit Hall's winning streak would have been interrupted by her long ago.

Compared to his mother, other than his appearance leaning towards his father Nan Tianchen, Nan Feihuang's personality, martial soul, and aptitude were simply a comprehensive, enhanced version of Lan Xue.

Like mother, like son—this saying really applied well to this pair.

*Thud*

A heavy sound of landing echoed. Feihuang jumped onto the ring; sure enough, just as Sword Douluo had expected, he chose to go first.

This was the simplest method Xun Yu had told Feihuang to break the opponent's strategy: take on all fourteen people on the other side, and the opponent's strategy would naturally collapse without a fight.

It was like an assassination; even if you barged in, as long as you killed everyone you saw along the way, it was a perfect assassination.

"This Nan Feihuang, how can he be so arrogant?" Hu Liena frowned. Nan Feihuang actually going first was truly beyond her expectations.

Now she only hoped that the two academies could cause him as much damage as possible. She didn't believe that no matter how strong the Flying General was, he could take on their entire team?

But who could say for sure it was impossible? They had clearly all overlooked that not long ago, Lv Lingqi had just completed a one-versus-seven.

As her captain, Nan Feihuang should be even more outstanding than her.

"The match, begin!" the referee announced.

As soon as his voice fell, Li Kai charged fiercely toward Nan Feihuang, executing the soul skill Pig Rush. Even though Nan Feihuang hadn't summoned his martial soul yet, he didn't dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

He knew he was no match for Nan Feihuang, so his job was to consume as much of Nan Feihuang's soul power and stamina as possible.

The Black Horned Wild Boar was a strength-type martial soul, and its attack power lay entirely in the horn on its nose.

"I hate things growing weird stuff on their heads the most." Nan Feihuang didn't dodge; instead, he opened his arms and, as the opponent charged, directly grabbed the sharp horn with both hands.

Under his Brute Force, Li Kai couldn't move an inch.

Then, Nan Feihuang raised his right arm, transforming into Tiga Red Brute Form, and chopped down with a hand blade, instantly snapping the Black Horned Wild Boar's horn.

One must know that before Nan Feihuang transmigrated, he was also a chuunibyou teenager who fantasized that he had a hand in the death of Gatanothor, so upon seeing something with a horn, now that he had the power, he subconsciously became a horn-breaking maniac.

With his horn broken, Li Kai let out a painful Roar. This was his strongest point, but also his most vulnerable spot. Once injured here, his strength would be less than one-tenth of its original, and unless there was a top-tier Healing-type Spirit Master, it would likely take a long time to recover.

Nan Feihuang kicked him in the abdomen, sending him flying out of the ring.

Then he shouted, "Next!"

"The next one is me, Flying General, take this!" From within Star Luo Royal Academy, a sharp bolt of lightning flew out.

It was Tang Hongning, whose martial soul was the Sharp Lightning Jackal.

"Agility Attack System Spirit Master." Nan Feihuang smiled, closed his eyes, and said casually, "Come on, you can attack from anywhere!"
