Chapter 94: Terrifying Suppression

Bei Bei asked:

"Xuan Lao, how should we assign our personnel?"

Xuanzi waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Just have you, as the reserve team captain, and Dai Yaoheng, as the main team captain, each pick people. You, as the captain, are weaker, so you can pick first; whichever team loses just has the whole squad shout 'I am a pig'."

"Yes." Bei Bei nodded respectfully, then said: "My first pick is Huo Yutong."

Huo Yutong is not only the strongest among them, but also possesses strong field control ability; Bei Bei believes her role in the team will not be inferior to that of the main team's Soul Kings.

Dai Yaoheng glanced at Bei Bei in surprise, a fleeting hint of contempt flickering in his eyes.

In his view, Bei Bei's first choice of Huo Yutong was because he was unfamiliar with the main team members, fearing mistakes due to lack of knowledge; otherwise, there would be no reason not to pick higher-level, stronger main team members, instead of choosing a Huo Yutong who hasn't even reached Soul Ancestor level.

It seems this reserve team captain lacks decisiveness.

Dai Yaoheng thought so, and said lightly:

"My first pick is Gongyang Mo."

Gongyang Mo is not only second only to him in rank, but also the sole support-system among the present team members; picking him could be said to have already secured half the victory.

Gongyang Mo gave a charming smile and leisurely walked to Dai Yaoheng's side.

Regarding the next pick, Bei Bei still had no hesitation.

"Tang Wulin."

Even without the combat power of a Soul King, Tang Wulin is now not far off; more importantly, he and Huo Yutong still possess a Soul Fusion Technique, and there are four of them!

When they learned this news just two weeks ago, Bei Bei was also startled; the immense-range control skill from the Ten Thousand Spirit Forest left such a deep impression that even one was outrageous—what would four be like? Indeed, over the past half month, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong have run the reserve team through their four Soul Fusion Techniques in various ways, each excelling in different aspects, each making them suffer immensely.

In Bei Bei's eyes, the combination of the two is stronger than any two members of the main team.

Dai Yaoheng raised his brows, his contempt growing stronger.

"Ling Luochen."

In team battles, the roles of support and control systems far outweigh other systems; in his view, with the strongest control and support systems already picked by him, this match doesn't even need to be fought.

The two thus alternated picking teammates, and soon both sides' lineups were freshly formed.

Bei Bei's team consists of Bei Bei, Huo Yutong, Tang Wulin, Zhang Zehao, Chen Zifeng, Wang Dong, and Zhou Sichen.

Dai Yaoheng's team consists of Dai Yaoheng, Gongyang Mo, Ling Luochen, Xi Xi, Yao Haoxuan, Xu San Shi, and He Caitou.

On paper, these two lineups undoubtedly give Dai Yaoheng's team an overwhelming advantage.

Bei Bei's team comprises two Soul Kings, one Soul Ancestor, three Soul Elders, and even a Soul Master.

Meanwhile, Dai Yaoheng's side has one Soul Emperor, four Soul Kings, and two Soul Ancestors.

The gap between the sides is truly huge; no matter who looks, Dai Yaoheng is destined to win.

The main team members obviously thought so; Chen Zifeng and Zhang Zehao, whom Bei Bei had picked, already began to make bitter faces, starting to consider how loud in decibels they should shout "I am a pig" later.

However, the reserve team members did not think that way.

At this moment, Xu San Shi and He Caitou, the two picked by Dai Yaoheng, stared at Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong standing opposite on the stage, their faces turning pale, clearly recalling some unpleasant memory.

Xuanzi glanced at both sides' members, revealed a smile of enjoying the spectacle without caring about the fuss, and shouted:

"Let's begin!"

Next, his figure instantly vanished from the center of the stage.

At the instant his figure disappeared, both sides' members immediately began to act; without doubt, the first to activate a soul skill was Huo Yutong.

Her Mental Detection Sharing took effect on her teammates, instantly covering the entire match field, leaving nothing on the field hidden from anyone's mind.

Chen Zifeng and Zhang Zehao were suddenly startled, their gazes toward Huo Yutong changing in an instant.

They suddenly seemed to understand why Bei Bei had picked Huo Yutong first; even if she only had this one soul skill, her role on the field would not be much weaker than that of an ordinary Soul King.

At the same time, Gongyang Mo also released his martial soul.

A pair of rainbow-colored wings sprouted from his back, lightly flapping to lift him into the air; simultaneously his hair turned the same rainbow hue as the wings, a thin layer of white scales appeared on his skin, and his already handsome appearance became even more striking.

Like a rainbow, light poured down from his gorgeous wings, and the members of Dai Yaoheng's team instantly gained a great boost in momentum.

His martial soul is the exceedingly rare Rainbow Dragon, whose status among beast martial souls of the support system equals that of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda among tool martial souls.

Among the dragon clan, the Rainbow Dragon bears the title of "descendant of the dragon clan," for it usually appears alongside the Dragon King, and a Dragon King accompanied by a Rainbow Dragon as consort also holds an unshakable position.

It can be said that as long as he is present, the combat power of Dai Yaoheng's team members can undergo all-around elevation.

While Gongyang Mo exerted his ability, the other members were not idle either; the sound of metal clashing rang out, and the two soul engineers from each team quickly began to cover themselves with soul tools, nearly arming themselves to the teeth; meanwhile, Ling Luochen grasped a staff from the void, invoking the ice element to form an ice mist that drifted toward Bei Bei and the others.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong exchanged a glance, each seeing a hint of surprise in the other's eyes.

Consequently, Huo Yutong's appearance changed.

Snow-white color spread over her entire body, her eyes turned ice-blue, her figure elongated, and her originally frail physique became considerably fuller.

Subsequently, she pointed at the diffusing ice mist in the void, and Ling Luochen was astonished to discover that these ice elements had completely broken free of her control, instead drifting toward her teammates.

The event occurred so suddenly that nobody had time to react.

And Huo Yutong's target was clearly Gongyang Mo, who was flying in the air.

Seeing his teammate's ice mist drifting toward him, Gongyang Mo's expression turned to great alarm, and he hastily flapped his wings to dodge.

One must know that, as a support-system member, he possesses virtually no combat ability; if struck by this ice mist, he would surely have to withdraw from the battlefield for a period.

However, at that very moment, a resounding dragon's roar echoed throughout the arena.

Gongyang Mo's heart suddenly surged with intense fear; he looked toward the direction of the roar, and what met his eyes was the piercing cyan light bursting forth from Tang Wulin's left leg.

The next instant, a slash formed by condensing rich wind elements came together quickly, hurtling toward Gongyang Mo at an astonishing speed.

Logically, given such a distance, Gongyang Mo should have been able to dodge easily, yet he stood dazed in place, unable to control his body.

At the critical moment, Dai Yaoheng hurriedly returned and helped him block the attack.

"Ugh!"

The Wind King Breaks Precept Slash, as a soul skill granted by the Dragon King soul bone, possesses immense power; even though the cultivation gap between Tang Wulin and Dai Yaoheng is vast, he was still struck stiff by this blow.

Even if he helped Gongyang Mo block this strike, Gongyang Mo still didn't recover from his daze; the icy mist quickly enveloped him, freezing him into an ice sculpture that fell from the sky.

During this process, although Ling Luochen kept trying to make up for it, the ice element under her control was like hitting a rebellious phase—not only refusing to obey her commands, but it actually froze her.

As a result, less than five seconds after the battle began, Dai Yaoheng's side lost two key commanders.

Dai Yaoheng: "???"

By the way, the two that Dai Yaoheng initially picked were one dragon-type and one ice-type.

Never before had there been such a wonderful opening (end of chapter).
