Chapter 215: One-on-seven, is it possible?
Below the arena, the Shrek Team viewed the Seven Treasures Team as their number one opponent.
Tang San and the others watched every move Feng Xiaotian made, attempting to gauge his strength so they could make targeted preparations.
Yu Tianheng, however, said with some worry, "Tang San, even if Mu Bai and I use our combined strength to eliminate Feng Xiaotian, don't forget that among the other members of the Seven Treasures Team, there are still mid- and high-level Soul Ancestors. Zhu Qing and Xiao Wu might not be their match."
During this month of cultivation, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu successfully broke through to become Soul Ancestors, but they were only low-level Soul Ancestors; not to mention that Tailong and Taira were still only level 39 Soul Elders.
Tang San said in a deep voice, "Everyone, rest assured. I will arrange the order of the participants well; even if we lose, we will only lose by one point."
"Our greatest trump card is in the team battle. This Preliminary Tournament is the moment to announce our rise to everyone."
"Wait until the stage of the finals to take down the Seven Treasures Team!"
Dai Mubai laughed heartily as he chimed in, "Tianheng, Xiao San is right. What is there to worry about?"
"Don't forget the trump card Master arranged for us!"
Yu Tianheng still felt that something was amiss.
In the Preliminary Tournament, the Seven Treasures Team achieved a perfect record and broke the tournament record.
In the Preliminary Tournament, the Seven Treasures Team possessed two Soul Kings, and their momentum was already high; it was only right to avoid their sharp edge.
Yu Tianheng could not help but worry: without Yu Xiaogang, if Shrek Academy suffered a crushing defeat, would they be able to walk out of the gloom?
……
The match continued.
The second contestant sent out by the Exotic Beast Academy Battle Team was their captain, a level 43 Soul Ancestor.
The strength of a Soul Ancestor is not comparable to a Soul Elder; facing a powerful Soul King, they would not be completely without the ability to parry.
Feng Xiaotian did not act arrogant, nor was he in any rush to attack.
As soon as the match began, the Exotic Beast captain activated a defensive soul skill, preparing to meet Feng Xiaotian's charge.
Below the arena, the teacher of the Exotic Beast Academy saw the situation of the battle and stroked his forehead.
The match had just begun, and Feng Xiaotian hadn't even moved yet, so activating a defensive soul skill was truly unnecessary.
Feng Xiaotian was not a fool; seeing the opponent shrink into a turtle, why would he waste soul power to attack in vain?
If not for the tournament rules being in place, the lead teacher would definitely have wanted to open his mouth and curse his own captain.
On the arena.
Seeing that Feng Xiaotian had not attacked for a long time, the Exotic Beast captain could not help but look up.
He saw Feng Xiaotian beckoning to him with a smile.
"What!" The Exotic Beast captain was greatly shocked.
Hearing the mocking laughter coming from below the arena, his state of mind fluctuated greatly and was no longer steady.
"Damn it, to dare to toy with me! Fourth Soul Skill—"
To cancel the defensive state and then activate a Fourth Soul Skill—did he really think Feng Xiaotian was just a prop?
In the process of switching between the two soul skills, he had no defensive measures himself, and Feng Xiaotian's figure flashed, quickly arriving behind him.
His legs exerted force suddenly, and he actually kicked him directly off the arena.
The arena was not small; to be able to kick him off with one foot, one could imagine the force of that kick.
The Exotic Beast captain fell off the arena and passed out on the spot, but he was not in life-threatening danger, nor did he die, so it did not count as a foul.
The lead teacher of the Exotic Beast Battle Team had an ugly expression, but he was helpless and arranged for two more students to go up.
The final result was that Feng Xiaotian easily eliminated the two of them without even consuming much stamina or soul power.
If he arranged for more people to go up, Feng Xiaotian would definitely be able to achieve a one-on-five, and there was a high chance of a one-on-six.
If it really reached that point, the Exotic Beast Academy would lose all face.
Simply put, the lead teacher chose to concede directly, ending this one-sided crushing match.
"To be able to one-on-four so easily, is this the strength of a Soul King?"
In previous Spirit Master Tournaments, only the Spirit Hall Academy Team possessed Soul King powerhouses, and they were directly seeded into the finals, never having appeared on the stage of the Preliminary Tournament.
Now, witnessing the dominance of a Soul King on the stage of the Preliminary Tournament, the various teams knew deeply that the Seven Treasures Team was invincible.
However, some were also thinking about whether a one-on-six could appear in this tournament to break the record set in the Xingluo Saiqu.
"If this match were to continue, the Seven Treasures Team might really be able to complete a one-on-six, or even a one-on-seven!"
"A one-on-seven is unlikely. As stamina and soul power decline, a Spirit Master's strength will also be greatly discounted. Don't look at Feng Xiaotian as a Soul King; by the seventh match, he might not be a match for a full-stamina Soul Elder."
"What is the point of saying all this? The match is already over. Who knows, maybe Feng Xiaotian was just holding on, and if the Exotic Beast team had sent one more person, he would have been eliminated."
In short, without facts, everyone's guesses were just guesses.
There were also some weaker teams who felt very worried about this.
If the Seven Treasures Team struck them with heavy blows, their ending would be no better than the Exotic Beast Academy.
It was only because the tournament rules allowed for conceding that many academies were spared from being nailed to the pillar of shame in this round of the Preliminary Tournament.
……
Feng Xiaotian returned to the rest area and said with a smile, "I said Changkong didn't need to go up, so he didn't need to, right?"
Qiangu Changkong said irritably, "It was clearly because the opponent surrendered; otherwise, I would still have had a chance to go up."
Feng Xiaotian still had the energy to joke around here, so it seemed the consumption was not great.
Wu Qi asked, "Xiaotian, how much of your stamina and soul power did you each consume?"
The opponent's soul power consumption had a certain reference value for him.
After all, to complete a one-on-seven, one must carefully calculate every bit of soul power and stamina.
Feng Xiaotian shook his head with a bitter smile, "Although I didn't use much soul power, I have already consumed more than fifty percent of my stamina."
"The opponent still had two Soul Ancestors and Meng Yiran who hadn't appeared yet."
"If they hadn't conceded and let the two Soul Ancestors wear me down, I would have at most eliminated them, and then I would have had no strength left to face the final Meng Yiran."
"Therefore, a one-versus-six should be the limit for me in this match."
Lacking experience previously led to excessive waste of stamina.
Now that he had experience, he would use his moves more reasonably in the next match.
Wu Qi said irritably, "You still want a next time?"
"Don't forget that the others haven't performed yet; everyone has a chance to fight in the first match, so don't fight over it."
"For the next one, Xiaotian, you go out second; I'll give you more opportunities to perform."
"But I expect that once they see you, the other teams will be on guard, so wanting a one-versus-six is unrealistic."
As for himself, he arranged to be last on the list, used as a safety net to ensure they would not lose the match.
Of course, with the strength of the Seven Treasures Team, it would basically never reach the point where he had to go on stage.
The first day of the qualifying tournament matches came to an end before noon.
Except for one team that had a bye and did not appear, the remaining teams had already displayed their respective strengths.
Regarding the Seven Treasures Team, apart from the Shrek Team, the other academy teams had labeled them as invincible.
To avoid overly damaging the confidence of their team members, several teams with slightly weaker strength decided to give up their matches against the Seven Treasures Team, forfeiting directly before the matches.
In this way, it could be said to be quite boring for the Seven Treasures Team.
For several days in a row, they were even forced to have a bye and rest because their opponents forfeited.
