Chapter 244: Defeat and Hope (Part 6)

Fang Wei and Dai Huabin are both Soul Kings, but there is indeed a significant gap in their strength.

In the short intervals between their exchanges, one could see that while Fang Wei's attack power was formidable, his defensive capability was truly insufficient; many times, he had to rely on a Soul Guidance Protective Barrier to barely withstand Dai Huabin's attacks.

Fang Wei's goal was extremely clear: to continuously assault and exhaust Dai Huabin's soul power. This is the third match for the Sun Moon Battle Team; if he could secure a victory in this match, the Sun Moon Battle Team would have no worries for the subsequent matches.

The battle on the arena was particularly intense. Fang Wei's attacks were extremely fierce; although his tool martial soul was not as top-tier as the Clear Sky Hammer, in terms of attack power, it was not at all inferior to Dai Huabin before he activated his White Tiger Demon God Transformation.

The long spear swept across, the tip of the spear whipping up gusts of fierce wind, carrying a whistling crack as it slammed heavily toward the direction where Dai Huabin was.

Dai Huabin did not hesitate. He brought his palms together, and a ball of light condensed between them, golden light waves continuously taking shape. Finally, as Fang Wei's long spear arrived, he launched it violently.

Second soul skill, White Tiger Intense Light Wave!

Following the release of the soul skill, Dai Huabin's complexion turned a few shades paler. He was not a freak like Wang Qiu Er; his soul power was limited. In the previous match, Jing Peng's defensive power was too astonishing, and the opponent had completely disregarded consumption, entangling with Dai Huabin and draining a large amount of his soul power.

Now, facing Fang Wei, he had to be cautious and reduce his own soul power consumption. Once his soul power was exhausted and this battle was lost, they would have no choice but to let Wang Qiu Er take the stage.

The core of the Shrek Battle Team is Wang Qiu Er; once Wang Qiu Er is overly exhausted, the subsequent team battle will put everyone at a disadvantage!

Intense light erupted from the place where the spear tip and the White Tiger Intense Light Wave intersected. At the same time, a tall figure leaped high into the air, and rich golden light rose from him once again. The next moment, the golden light retracted, replaced by a sharp tiger claw!

The previous attack caused Fang Wei to lose his target. Taking advantage of the moment the White Tiger Intense Light Wave exploded, Dai Huabin leaped high, locked onto the direction of Fang Wei, and immediately launched an attack.

Fang Wei's aura was too obvious; Dai Huabin didn't even need his eyes to sense where Fang Wei was, so he took advantage of this opening to arrive in front of Fang Wei.

Immediately following, a ripple like water appeared, and the giant tiger claw was blocked outside. Fang Wei's expression changed slightly, and the Lie Feng Qian Jun Spear in his hand swept out!

The terrifying attack immediately enveloped Dai Huabin. This sense of crisis made Dai Huabin aware of it immediately. As a student of the Shrek Inner Court, he had encountered such battles too many times, so he was not flustered in the slightest.

Dai Huabin retreated a step, choosing not to clash head-on. Once he chose to clash head-on, his soul power consumption would increase again, and that would mean falling into the enemy's trap.

Although the situation was unfavorable, Fang Wei's greatest weakness was his insufficient defensive power. As an Assault System Battle Soul King, Dai Huabin was also extremely outstanding in defense. Therefore, in terms of combat, although Dai Huabin's soul power was overly exhausted, he was still superior to Fang Wei in strength, even if Fang Wei had a Defensive Soul Guidance Device, he was no match for Dai Huabin.

The battle situation fell into a stalemate. Dai Huabin's attacks were extremely cautious, which made it impossible for Fang Wei to find any flaws, leaving him no choice but to assault Dai Huabin. In terms of the battle format, although Fang Wei was suppressing Dai Huabin, anyone with a discerning eye knew that once Fang Wei revealed a flaw, or when his soul power consumption became too great, that would be the time for Dai Huabin to counterattack.

"Interesting, this guy has improved quite a bit."

In the waiting area of the Sun Moon Battle Team, Luo Yu spoke slowly, and all of Dai Huabin's performance fell into his eyes.

The people of the Sun Moon Empire also knew Dai Huabin's plan. This battle itself was meant to exhaust Dai Huabin; regardless of victory or defeat, as long as Fang Wei was not injured, the purpose of this battle was achieved.

Even if they lost this battle, they would only be at one win, one draw, and two losses. There were still four matches left, and even counting Fang Wei, only three people from the Sun Moon Battle Team had taken the stage so far.

However, Dai Huabin, one of the two main forces on the Shrek side, was already exhausted. As for Wang Qiu Er, with the consumption of a wheel battle, she might not be able to hold on, not to mention that Luo Yu was holding the line in the back.

This was Fang Wei's confidence, so he had no worries. This battle was the most satisfying one he had had since the start of the tournament, because he had never before attacked so crazily without regard for soul power.

"Captain, you say, if we lose this match, wouldn't that mean..." Leiqier asked with some worry as he watched the match on the field.

"Leiqier, you don't need to worry. Don't forget, we still have four people who haven't appeared yet. With the Captain holding the line at the very end, what are you afraid of?" Lu Jiuyu looked at Leiqier and said.

"You two, say less. Didn't you see that the Captain hasn't said anything?" Yan Lingshu said, looking at Leiqier.

"You two continue, I want to hear your plans. Lu Jiuyu, I ask you. If we lose this match too, then who should we send to the stage for the next match?" Luo Yu stretched his back, seeing that Yan Lingshu next to him looked as if she wished she could stick herself onto Luo Yu.

Lu Jiuyu looked at Luo Yu, then looked at the expressionless Wang Qiu Er opposite, and said: "If we don't lose this match, then the next one to take the stage is Yan Lingshu. If we draw or lose, then the one to take the stage is Leiqier."

"Why?" Hearing this, both Yan Lingshu and Meng Hongchen asked with some confusion.

"Because Senior Sister Meng Hongchen and Senior Brother Xiao Hongchen both participated in the previous tournament, so unless it's the final moment, the two seniors won't be sent to the stage. Besides, the Captain actually wants to give us a chance to train; otherwise, why go to such great lengths to have us go up one after another?" Lu Jiuyu smiled and said, looking at Luo Yu.

Luo Yu patted Lu Jiuyu on the shoulder and said: "Smart, but unfortunately, you didn't use it in the right place. If you used all this talent on the production of Soul Guidance Devices, why would you only be a Level 6 Soul Master?"

"However, I still have one question I can't figure out. Why is it that even though the Tang Sect has enough combat power, they still lost to Shrek? From the perspective of surface strength, the Tang Sect's combat power is completely above Shrek's, right?" Lu Jiuyu thought for a moment and asked.

"You will know this very soon. Watch the match carefully. If Fang Wei wins, I will let you go next, let you get some training too." Luo Yu looked at the stalemate on the field and smiled at Lu Jiuyu.

Lu Jiuyu's expression stiffened, and he froze in place, "Captain, that's not very good..."

"I think this proposal is very good." Xiao Hongchen leaned over and said slowly.

"I also think this proposal is not bad." Leiqier chuckled.

…………

The battle on the arena was also nearing its end at this moment. Looking at Dai Huabin's panting appearance, Su Yu knew that he had won, but the way he won was a bit disheveled. If it were Su Yu himself, he could probably pierce through the Sun Moon Empire's battle team, but that would be too meaningless and would instead add stakes for the Three Great Empires.

Therefore, he chose to refuse to participate in this tournament, and his true purpose for this tournament was not to watch these things, but to avoid that psychopathic God of Love in the Valley of Love and Emotion.

Otherwise, with the waters of this tournament being stirred so muddily by himself, Su Yu really didn't want to wade into these muddy waters.

"No need to watch, Dai Huabin won. Even if Dai Huabin continues to fight the next match, he won't last long. It seems Wang Qiu Er is unable to hold up the sky alone. You guys don't be idle either; the current Holy Spirit Cult is also in a state of being old, weak, sick, and disabled. They are all Evil Soul Masters; if you can deal a lethal blow, then deal a lethal blow." Su Yu yawned, and his words suddenly shocked the members of the Tang Sect.

Bei Bei widened his eyes and said: "Su Yu, when did you appear? Shouldn't you be in the spectator area?"

"He felt the view from the spectator area wasn't good enough, so he came to us, using the identity of our Tang Sect's team leader..." Huo Yuhao just wanted to cover his face; the only person who could do such a thing was Su Yu.

"What, Master, is it too much for me to be a team leader for the Tang Sect?" Su Yu looked at Bei Bei and asked with a smile.

"No, no..."

The match ended, Fang Wei's soul power was exhausted, and he collapsed on the ground. Dai Huabin's complexion became even paler; clearly, he had also reached the end of his rope.

The Sun Moon Empire sent out the fourth person, Leiqier.

This battle had no suspense; Dai Huabin chose to concede because his soul power was exhausted.

The fourth person sent by Shrek was Wu Feng. Wu Feng's strength was not bad; her match against Leiqier this time truly had quite a few highlights.

Leiqier versus Wu Feng, Shrek's third combat force versus the Deputy Captain of the Sun Moon Battle Team.

This was a very interesting matchup, and so far, the only thing Leiqier had shown was the Soul Guidance Dagger in his hand.

Among the traditional Soul Masters in the Sun Moon Empire, this was a rare species!

"Please have the members of both sides take the stage!" the referee urged.

Under the referee's urging, Wu Feng leaped up and landed steadily on the arena, her eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"Both sides, state your names." The referee spoke slowly, knowing that this would be another wonderful match.

"Shrek Academy, Wu Feng." Wu Feng looked at the young man in front of her. She knew what kind of strength the young man opposite had; Leiqier claimed to be the Deputy Captain of the Sun Moon Battle Team, so his strength naturally could not be underestimated.

"Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Leiqier." Leiqier looked at Wu Feng, his eyes without the slightest bit of underestimation or carelessness.

The last time they underestimated the enemy, it had already caused the Sun Moon Empire to suffer a great loss, so when facing people from Shrek, underestimation and carelessness were major taboos.

Under the guidance of the referee, both of them walked slowly toward their respective halves of the field.

When they reached the appropriate positions, following the referee's command, the match officially drew back its curtain.

Shrek team member Wu Feng vs. Sun Moon Battle Team vice-captain Leiqier!
