Chapter 733 - The Team Battle Begins
The Team Battle Begins
TL : GoldenLung
Both parties were the strongest of their respective year.
The atmosphere of the team battle was different from the one-on-one and two-on-twos. Even the teachers in the stands became nervous.
Ying Luohong stood in the middle and felt the increasing momentum of both parties. She couldn’t help but feel gratified. These were all elite students groomed by the Outer Court!
Although there weren’t any mutants like a certain “honest-looking youth” in this batch of sixth years, their overall strength wasn’t weak.
“The next match will decide which one of you will be able to represent the academy to participate in the sparring match with the branch. Display all the strength that you have. You don’t have to worry about anything else. I will be responsible for the safety of the people in this arena,” Ying Luohong said indifferently.
She was the referee in order to prevent any casualties and control the entire place.
The seven people from both sides bowed at the same time and slowly retreated, forming a formation.
On the side of the fourth years, Tang Yuge stood at the front of the center with Bai Xiuxiu and Qian Lei at her sides, while Liu Feng hid behind Qian Lei. Behind them was Lan Xuanyu, and on both sides of him were Yuanen Huihui and Lan Mengqin. This was a three-one-three formation.
On the opposite side, Sima Xian took the lead and stood at the front with the three defensive soul masters behind him. Behind him were Rong Yuxuan, Mu Rongshang, and Xue Yubing. They were in a one-three-three formation, which showed how confident Sima Xian was in his strength.
Sima Xian stared at Tang Yuge with a burning gaze, filled with fighting spirit.
Back then, although their main teacher had deliberately trained Tang Yuge, as the vice class leader, he had always wanted to defeat her.
All these years, he had been cultivating painstakingly so that he could live up to the title of class leader.
But up until now, his reputation had not reached the level that Tang Yuge had achieved. The most important reason was that he had not brought a heavyweight victory to the sixth years.
This was also the motivation for Sima Xian’s growth. He had been working hard to improve himself and did not dare to slack off for the sake of today’s battle. Only by defeating Tang Yuge fair and square would he be able to prove to all his classmates that he was the strongest and at the same time, sweep away the obstacles in his path to the Inner Court!
Compared to Sima Xian, Tang Yuge was much calmer. She looked calmly at her former classmates and teammates, and there was a thought in her heart—it was time to end this. After this battle, the sixth years would graduate and have nothing to do with her. Defeat them and prove that she made the right choice.
The aura on her body was also changing.
“Get ready.” Ying Luohong’s voice immediately roused everyone’s spirits.
“Begin!”
Following Yin Luohong’s shout, the final battle between the fourth and sixth years began.
Sima Xian let out a roar towards the sky as his body swelled up and enlarged. A violent aura burst forth as seven soul rings rose from beneath his feet and flickered alternately. He strode towards Lan Xuanyu and the rest.
Behind him, his six teammates released their Martial Soul. A halo quickly spread out and the Jade Dragon’s Domain was released.
A pair of Black Tortoise Shields stood up, and black light flickered as the two Black Tortoise Shield soul masters quickly followed. Beside them, Zhou Pengzhan, who had the Devil Thorny Dragon Martial Soul, soared into the sky and curled into a ball in midair as he rolled and followed.
The Heaven’s Downfall Sword and the Heaven Holy Sword floated in front of Mu Rongshang and Xue Yubing as they stabbed out rapidly.
On the fourth years’ side, the seven of them moved together. Gold and silver lights on Lan Xuanyu’s body flickered at the same time. A golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Qian Lei’s waist first, then another wrapped around Tang Yuge’s waist. Liu Feng and Bai Xiuxiu also had one wrapped around their waists. Four golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass connected the four of them to Lan Xuanyu.
Two silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass were flung to both sides and wrapped around Yuanen Huihui and Lan Mengqin. Seven people, seven as one.
Sima Xian only had eyes for Tang Yuge as the dark gold light on his body became more dazzling.
Right at this moment, he realized that there was a person opposite him that was also growing rapidly. Very soon, it filled his field of vision because the other party had already charged over.
“Your opponent is me!” Qian Lei laughed out loud. He, who had fused with the Golden Behemoth, had already charged forward brazenly. In his right hand, he raised the giant meteor hammer from Dragon Source Planet and waved it above his head.
Ying Luohong floated in the air and observed all the changes. Seeing Qian Lei’s ferocious appearance, the corners of her mouth twitched.
‘I, Ying Luohong, used to be the number one control-type soul master in the Outer Court. How did I manage to groom such a disciple?’
Initially, she had taken a liking to Qian Lei mainly because of his spiritual power and that strange Summoning Gate. She was prepared to let him develop in the direction of summoning. But who knew that this little fatty would quickly become a big fatty and a very sturdy man, all of a sudden becoming an assault type battle soul master, and one that specialized at pure strength. This had completely deviated from her plan.
On the platform, Elder Shu smiled and muttered to himself, “Not bad, not bad. I knew that this little thing that I used a drop of life essence to save was extraordinary. Now, it seems like it is indeed extraordinary! Hahaha!”
Wang Tianyu pretended not to hear. ‘Everything is thanks to you, alright?’
Sima Xian looked at his opponent, whose body was no smaller than his own, and his gaze was firm and unaffected. Five rings, a five-ring soul master wanted to stop his charge ?!
With a flash of light, he charged forward and charged towards Qian Lei. He wanted to send Qian Lei flying, and then continue towards Tang Yuge.
Right at this moment, a golden halo suddenly appeared beneath the fourth years’ feet.
The golden halo had complicated patterns, as though there was a gigantic golden dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
Qian Lei’s aura became berserk. He roared and smashed the Proto Dragon Meteor Hammer.
“Bang!”
Sima Xian relied on the strength of his body and sent the Proto Dragon Meteor Hammer flying, but the immense force also slowed him down for a moment before he crashed into Qian Lei’s majestic body.
It was as if two mountains had collided. With a loud “bang”, Qian Lei was knocked back a few steps and fell to the ground. However, Sima Xian’s body was also scratched by Qian Lei’s giant claws and had six scars. Sima Xian’s forward momentum suddenly stopped.
Lan Xuanyu, who was standing at the back of the team, smirked. ‘Domain? I have one too.’
That golden halo was the soul skill that came with the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass’ fourth ring, Domain-type soul skill, Golden Dragon Berserk Domain!
Under the effect of the Golden Dragon Berserk Domain, all of his teammates’ blood would boil and they would erupt with an extremely strong attack power. Their fighting spirit would soar and their emotions would be stirred up. Soul masters with dragon-type bloodlines would receive many times the enhancement.
Previously, if Lan Xuanyu had used this domain against the Dual Swords, it would have been very difficult for him and Bai Xiu to be influenced by the other party. But he didn’t do so because he wanted to wait for the team battle before using it.
Under the enhancement of the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass and the Golden Dragon Berserk Domain, even though Qian Lei and Sima Xian had two rings of difference in terms of cultivation, it was hard to tell who was stronger.
The Golden Behemoth was still stronger than the Dark Gold Skeleton King!
Sima Xian did not stop. Although he was surprised by Qian Lei’s strength, as the team leader, he would not panic because of this. He raised the battle ax in his right hand and swung it forward brazenly. The fan-shaped dark gold light covered a large area and was about to control Lan Xuanyu and the rest.
