Chapter 164

Dai Yaoheng stood before the two opponents staggering backward, and said lightly: "Jiujiu, admit defeat."

Xu Jiujiu's gaze was somewhat dazed.

The situation on the field changed incredibly fast; ten seconds ago Star Net National Academy still held absolute advantage, pushing Shilake Academy's three strongest into a desperate situation, and now, ten seconds later, there is no hope left even of turning the tide.

She had much she wanted to say—for example, her strongest fifth soul skill had not yet been used, and she still had a trump-card soul tool—but she also knew saying these was now meaningless; no matter how powerful those soul skills and soul tools were, she could not help Holy Wing defeat Shilake Academy, which still had six members on the field.

Xu Jiujiu said coldly:

"I am not losing to you."

Having said that, she led the way jumping off the stage, and Holy Wing followed closely behind, signifying the end of this team battle.

However, the intensity of this match is absolutely the most exciting and fierce team battle since the start of this tournament.

===TITLE=== Countermeasures Against the Ice Sky Dragon Emperor

Then

But the tension of this match was absolutely the most exciting and intense of all team battles in this tournament so far.

From the beginning when Star Light National Academy completely controlled the match's rhythm to the final sudden reversal, the whole process was not only tense and intense but also extremely stimulating, especially for those of Shilake Academy present; even after the match ended, they still felt somewhat palpitations.

"First match of the semifinals, team battle, Shilake Academy defeats Star Net National Academy."

The lifeless, icy voice of Tiansha Douluo sounded, also announcing the end of today's match.

That night, Shilake Academy received good news: Star Net National Academy forfeited the individual elimination tournament and directly admitted defeat.

Only after directly clashing with Shilake Academy's three strongest can one realize how powerful they are; in this team battle they managed to push those three into a desperate situation at first, relying on Xu Jiujiu's assistance and two powerful soul tools that divided the battlefield, but in the individual elimination tournament those two are almost useless, and without them Star Net National Academy has no chance of winning, unable to drag things into their best two-two-three.

The Shilake crowd also breathed a sigh of relief; although they did not fear Star Net National Academy in the individual elimination tournament, who knows if the opponent would not pull out some strange soul tool? Even if Shilake could win, they would probably have to expend considerable effort.

Now that Star Net National Academy has withdrawn, it's perfect; they can devote themselves fully to preparing for the match two days from now against the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

They have relaxed, but their opponents dare not relax at all.

In the conference room of the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Ma Lao looked around at everyone with a heavy expression.

"Tell me what you think of Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong's newly displayed Soul Fusion Technique."

That a single pair could possess two Soul Fusion Techniques was absolutely unheard-of big news before, and for the people of the Ri Yue Di Guo it was even more so.

One must know that, for various reasons, the soul power of soul masters in the Ri Yue Di Guo is much weaker than that of the original three countries of Douluo; even the Hongchen siblings' Soul Fusion Technique is the first in Ri Yue Di Guo's history, so Ri Yue Di Guo seriously lacks research samples, and their understanding of Soul Fusion Techniques is far less comprehensive than that of the original three countries of Douluo.

Ma Longru's face was solemn as he said:

"Very powerful."

Everyone present nodded involuntarily.

This was their shared understanding after watching the complete performance of the Ice Sky Dragon Emperor.

Such devastating destructive power is hard not to leave a deep impression, and it even makes one wonder if any peer could truly oppose it; even the proud and arrogant Xiaohongchen cannot help but acknowledge the Ice Sky Dragon Emperor's strength at this moment.

At this moment, Meng Hongchen suddenly interjected.

"He's also very handsome." As soon as this was said, everyone's expressions instantly turned strange.

Is the Ice Sky Dragon Emperor handsome? Of course he is.

Adult Tang Wulin's looks are already top-notch; combined with that suit of ice armor and heterochromatic eyes, he can be said to be as handsome as possible.

But is now the time to say this?

Xiaohongchen beside her suddenly covered her face with her hand.

He had long noticed that his younger sister harbored feelings for the boy named Tang Wulin, but saying this in the meeting still gave him a feeling of having nowhere to hide.

He did not realize that after Meng Hongchen uttered that sentence, the attention of everyone in the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Academy shifted subtly, at least the atmosphere was no longer as solemn as before.

Ma Longru coughed once.

"Indeed he's handsome, but what we need to focus on now is how to deal with this handsome Soul Fusion Technique; what do you think?"

Seeing Ma Longru forcibly steer the topic back, Xiaohongchen quickly responded:

"This is simple; just target the weakness of this Soul Fusion Technique."

"Oh?"

Ma Longru asked in a deep voice: "What weakness?"

The competing members of the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Academy generally lack understanding of Soul Fusion Techniques; by contrast, the words of Xiaohongchen and Meng Hongchen, who possess a Soul Fusion Technique as a pair, obviously carry more weight.

Xiaohongchen said seriously:

"Did you notice their complexions when the Soul Fusion Technique ended? According to my observation, their faces were not this pale when they previously used that wide-ranging Soul Fusion Technique; obviously this time their use of this Soul Fusion Technique consumes enormously, leaving them with only a few strikes' worth of power, unable to last long. We only need to drain their time, and then we can not only withstand this Soul Fusion Technique but even instantly deprive both powerful opponents of combat ability."

A team member frowned and said: "What you say is simple, but nothing is as easy as you claim; you've seen how powerful this Soul Fusion Technique is, and facing it, none of us could possibly last long enough."

"Indeed there is this problem, but it's not without a solution." Xiaohongchen looked calmly at Ma Longru and said: "Am I right, Brother Ma?"

Ma Longru remained silent for a while, then finally nodded.

"Indeed, if we activate a seventh-rank Absolute Locking Soul Tool and combine it with an invincible shield, I am not unable to hold him off."

The other team members' faces instantly showed realization.

The Absolute Locking Soul Tool is a type of auxiliary aiming soul tool, but just as an Absolute Defense Soul Tool is not only for defense, the Absolute Locking Soul Tool is not merely about locking onto an opponent.

One must know that the locking function is present in many high-end long-range soul tools; creating this kind of auxiliary aiming soul tool specially naturally gives it a special quality.

Its effect lies in forcibly linking the soul power of both sides, after which all soul-power-infused attacks launched by either side can only be directed at the opponent.

In other words, it forces a one-on-one duel during its activation.
