Chapter 774 Hu Liena's Charm
The harmonious and friendly atmosphere was gradually broken during their conversation, and their personalities began to clash.
Although the atmosphere wasn't particularly tense, neither side was willing to give an inch in their pursuit of victory and the ultimate championship.
"The match is ready. You have one minute to release your Martial Soul. The match will officially begin in one minute!"
After both sides took their positions, the cardinal, acting as the referee, looked around and, seeing that both sides were ready, immediately began to preside over the match according to procedure.
Bibi Dong and Ye Qifeng, who were secretly flirting using their soul power, immediately stopped exchanging glances and refocused their attention on the two teams.
Because of the prior bet, both of them took the match very seriously, and they both seemed a little nervous.
Especially Bibi Dong, for some reason, her eyes were not only filled with anticipation, but also with a hint of barely suppressed excitement, which made her beautiful face blush slightly.
At this moment, all the eyes of the audience were focused on the competition field.
Even distinguished guests and powerful figures like Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo focused all their attention on this match.
This year's Soul Master Elite Tournament is undoubtedly the strongest in the history of the tournament, and also the year with the most extraordinary talents.
Not only did more than a dozen Soul Kings appear, but also groundbreaking super-limit Soul Rings emerged.
Twin Martial Souls, Companion Martial Souls, and Super Martial Souls—these are all rare genius Soul Masters who appear only once every few thousand years.
Extremely difficult skills such as the Fusion Ring Secret Technique, self-created Soul Skills, Team Fusion Skills, Dual Martial Soul Fusion Skills, and Seven-in-One Fusion Skills also emerge one after another.
Teams like the Spirit Hall First Team, Spirit Hall Second Team, Blazing Fire Academy Team, Heavenly Water Academy Team, Divine Wind Academy Team, and their later formed Fire-Water-Wind Team, Beast Academy Team, Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team, Star Luo Royal Academy Team, and Shrek Seven Devils Team.
These teams either possess Soul King-level combat power or have mastered secret techniques, exclusive skills, or unique abilities.
In previous Soul Master Elite Tournaments, they would have been strong contenders for the final championship, or at least capable of sweeping an entire region.
The fact that the Spirit Hall's First and Second Teams were able to fight their way through these teams and reach the finals undoubtedly proves their strength.
The fact that the two teams met in the finals was not unexpected; in fact, it was entirely reasonable.
After all, their strength is undeniable.
Of the fourteen main members of the Spirit Hall's First and Second Battle Teams, twelve are Soul Kings at level 50 or above.
Not only are all members of the Spirit Hall's First Team Soul Kings, but even the substitute members are all at least level 45 Soul Masters.
With such strength, it is only natural that they should enter the final round; no one would doubt this.
Even Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Prince Xuexing, and the representatives sent by the Star Luo Empire had nothing to say.
However, the thought that both teams came from the Spirit Hall, and that each member was so incredibly talented and so young, made me feel extremely melancholy.
These students are undoubtedly the best of the younger generation in the Spirit Hall, the most talented individuals, and they symbolize the future of the Spirit Hall.
If they grow up smoothly, who will be able to compete with the Spirit Hall in the future?
The Heaven Dou Empire? The Star Luo Empire? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Or perhaps the other major sects? I'm afraid they will all fall into decline.
The Spirit Hall is already incredibly powerful, putting immense pressure on several major forces, and it will only become even stronger in the future.
Once these young geniuses grow up, all these sects and forces will probably have to bow down and submit.
Even the two great empires of Tiandou and Xingluo might be in grave danger, or even disintegrate, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they would eventually be swallowed up and destroyed.
At that time, the Douluo Continent will be in grave danger!
The two teams on the field were unaware of, and did not care about, the opinions of the audience; at this moment, they were completely focused on the game.
As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, both sides moved almost simultaneously.
A surge of soul power erupted from both teams' bodies in an instant, and dazzling martial souls and soul rings were released simultaneously, radiating soul light in all directions, dazzling and eye-catching.
The seven members of the Spirit Hall's First Team acted simultaneously, forming a 2-1-3-1 formation.
Xie Yue and Yan, as the captain and vice captain, stood at the front. Both of them had five spirit rings, two yellow, one purple, and two black, which were obviously super-limit spirit ring configurations that exceeded the standard configuration.
Behind them is the core member of the team, and also the youngest recipient of the Purple Record Medal among the three members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. She also has an ultra-limit spirit ring configuration of two yellow, one purple, and two black spirit rings.
The other four all have the best standard configuration of two yellow and two purple spirit rings.
Sun Chuantao, Zhang Ping, and Li Kai stood behind Hu Liena, the three of them standing in a row, one or two meters apart from each other.
Xu Yu stood at the very back. As the only support-type Soul Master in the team, he only needed to assist his teammates and did not need to participate in offense or defense.
The gaze in each of their eyes became extremely focused.
As the formation changed, Xu Yu, who was standing at the back, quickly took a step back, and a golden scepter appeared in his hand.
It was his martial spirit, the gleaming golden scepter.
At the same time that the first team released their martial spirits, the second team also made their move.
With their martial spirits and spirit rings released, the Spirit Hall's second team quickly formed their battle formation.
The seven people stood in order, with Ruiwen and Fengxian at the front, followed by Yelan. Behind Yelan stood Jin Yue'er, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang, and the last one was Xiao Mingyue.
The formation they set up was also 2-1-3-1, which corresponded exactly to the first team on the opposing team.
Unlike yesterday's match, this time, the Spirit Hall's second team did not use the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique. Instead, they released their spirits simultaneously in a completely normal manner.
The seven individuals, all possessing super-limit spirit ring configurations, are extremely eye-catching.
Seeing this, the Shrek Seven Devils in the exclusive viewing area for the eliminated teams were furious, and everyone's face turned pale.
Tang San's face was gloomy, his heart filled with resentment, and he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"You went all out against the Shrek Seven Devils, using your Seven-in-One Fusion Technique right from the start, but you held back against the Spirit Hall's top team?"
"Okay, very good, you guys are great. I'll remember you!"
He then let out another cold snort and began to mock:
"Hmph—, five Soul Kings are nothing special, the Spirit Hall's First Team has a full seven, and some even have Soul Power levels up to 60."
"Even we Shrek Seven Devils would find it difficult to defeat them, yet you don't use the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique?"
"Heh. Without this skill, let's see what you have to offer to compete with them."
Little did they know that the Spirit Hall's second team did not use the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique not because they were holding back or because they couldn't use it, but because they had a better option and a better method.
When facing different opponents, you should of course use different tactics and different ways of playing.
Opponents like the Shrek Seven Devils, who are of average strength and have few trump cards, can be easily dealt with by a single seven-in-one fusion technique.
However, it would be unsuitable to use it against the Spirit Hall's First Team, a team whose members are all Soul Kings.
Although the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique and the True Form of the Weapon Soul are very powerful, the conditions for their execution are extremely demanding. Not only must the soul power of all team members be drained, but the soul power, strength, and soul of the core team member who is responsible for releasing the True Form of the Weapon Soul must also be consumed.
In other words, once the seven-in-one fusion skill is used, it means that six team members will directly lose their combat power, leaving only one team member with a Soul Saint level of over level 70 who can still fight.
Moreover, this strength is only short-term.
The weapon spirit form empowered by the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique will rapidly consume the caster's soul power, gradually weakening over time and unable to last.
Therefore, we must act swiftly and decisively.
Even if they obtained Soul Saint level combat power of level 70 or above, it would be impossible for them to quickly defeat the first team like they did with the Shrek Seven Devils.
After all, if Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan joined forces, they would possess the combat power of a level 70 Soul Saint.
Once they hold us back, the second team will likely be the one to lose in the end, as the balance of power shifts.
Therefore, the Spirit Hall's second team would naturally not adopt such tactics to deal with the first team, especially since they had other trump cards.
…………
Regardless of what the Shrek Seven Devils and Tang San think, the course of the competition will not be affected, nor will it be halted.
The cardinal, who was acting as referee and presiding over the match, raised his right hand high and then slammed it down:
"The match begins!"
As he announced the start of the final battle of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, the Cardinal swiftly retreated, clearing the field for both teams to unleash their full potential.
The Spirit Hall's First Team took the lead, but the first to activate their spirit skill was not Captain Xie Yue or Vice Captain Yan, who were at the front of the team, but Hu Liena, who was behind the two team members.
Hu Liena was hailed by Bibi Dong as the golden generation of the Spirit Hall. She was one of the three who received the Purple Record Medal. She was not only the core of the team, but also the strongest and most terrifying one among them.
As a control-type Soul Master with a spirit-type martial soul, Hu Liena possesses a calm and composed demeanor and keen perception. On the field, she can easily seize the best opportunity and quickly formulate the best tactics suitable for the team.
Hu Liena was responsible for devising and directing all of the Spirit Hall's First Team's tactics against the enemy.
With light, graceful steps, Hu Liena seemed to have simply turned her body and arrived at the very front of the group.
At this moment, she was wearing a pinkish-purple women's outfit that was easy to fight in. The clothes clung tightly to her body, outlining her perfect figure.
She is tall, with graceful curves and perfect proportions.
Beneath her simple, shoulder-length pink-gold hair is a swan-like, graceful neck, soft and beautiful shoulders, full and firm breasts, a slender and alluring waist, round and smooth hips, and straight and long legs.
She was flawless, and her entire being was indescribably alluring and captivating.
It can be said that it possesses both the sexiness, maturity, and charm unique to mature women, as well as the youthfulness, beauty, and tenderness of young girls.
A faint smile appeared on Hu Liena's face, and with the release of her martial spirit, she seemed to have become even more beautiful.
Five large, fluffy tails suddenly grew out from her back, surrounded by a faint, ethereal white mist, making Hu Liena look like a fairy.
This gave her a special, charming, and stunning allure.
These five large, fluffy tails are naturally the symbol of Hu Liena's martial soul—the Nine-Tailed Immortal Fox.
After consuming the celestial Nine-Tailed Immortal Fox Grass gifted by Ye Qifeng, her demon fox martial soul had already evolved into a nine-tailed immortal fox.
When releasing a martial spirit and possessing a body, it will no longer transform into a humanoid fox demon as before, and its physical form will not change much.
Apart from his ears transforming into fox ears and the number of fox tails growing behind him corresponding to his cultivation level, there were no other changes.
Hu Liena was already extremely beautiful, and now she was even more so.
She was so beautiful that she was almost bewitching, and her features were so exquisite that they seemed to be a perfect gift from heaven. Her pair of light purple eyes were bright and beautiful, and her gaze was naturally alluring, with an indescribable charm.
As the fox tail formed, pink light began to emerge from Hu Liena's body.
The white mist swirling around the five fluffy tails quickly turned pink, and an indescribable spiritual fluctuation emanated from them.
With a slight flicker of her eyes, Hu Liena looked at Raven and the others opposite her. Her unique charm made it impossible not to look at her.
However, the seven girls in the second team of the Spirit Hall were clearly not ordinary people; each of them had quite good mental strength.
After all, they had all practiced the spiritual cultivation method taught by Ye Qifeng—Return to Origin Meditation—and had all worked hard to carefully hone their spiritual power.
In terms of mental strength, it might be inferior to Hu Liena, a Soul Master who specializes in mental control, but it's not a big problem to defend against the charm she releases.
Therefore, the Spirit Hall's second team remained almost unmoved by Hu Liena's charm, their calm demeanor rendering her charm ineffective.
Hu Liena seemed to have expected this, so she wasn't surprised.
With a light laugh, the five spirit rings on her body began to flash in a very regular pattern, first the black fifth spirit ring, then the fourth, third, second, and finally the yellow first spirit ring.
With each fluctuation of a spirit ring, the pink light emanating from Hu Liena intensifies.
At that moment, Xie Yue behind her also moved.
Of course, he didn't rush towards Hu Liena to form a fusion skill with her, but instead launched an attack on Riven on the other side.
After consuming the celestial Nine-Tailed Fox Grass, Hu Liena's demon fox martial soul evolved into the super martial soul Nine-Tailed Fox, but at the same time, she lost the possibility of combining martial soul fusion skills with her brother Xie Yue.
Therefore, they cannot use the Demonic Charm Martial Soul Fusion Technique. (End of Chapter)
