As Huyan Li was injured, and it seemed to be quite serious, the others quickly came to his rescue.
This truly turned into a tactic of surrounding a point to draw in reinforcements. Tang San reacted extremely quickly, instantly activating his third soul skill: Blue Silver Hurricane Array. In an instant, many members of the Elephant Armor Academy were enveloped by the Blue Silver Grass. Especially now, the Blue Silver Grass had actually turned a hint of emerald green, with tips like sharp blades. No matter how strong the defense of the Elephant Armor Academy students was, countless wounds were left on their bodies.
Dai Mubai also activated his fourth soul skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower, at this moment. Four Soul Ancestors from the Elephant Armor Academy directly fell onto the arena after continuous attacks.
However, the other two Soul Ancestors, Huyan Ba and Huyan Shan, actually simultaneously activated their fourth soul skill, Thousand Jun Guidance, to protect Huyan Li. Many people with the same martial soul in large sects basically have the same soul skills; this is a matter of inheritance within each sect.
Seeing multiple people attacking again, the already injured Huyan Li roared, and a terrifying power actually emanated from his head. The four Shrek members were directly sent flying. Of course, Yang Xiong's responsibility was to protect the two support types and he didn't charge forward to attack too much.
A golden light emanated from Huyan Li's head, as if he was wearing a helmet, especially with two fangs on the helmet.
Everyone present couldn't help but swallow. A head soul bone. This was a head soul bone, and judging from its age, it was probably not low-level. It should be a ten-thousand-year-level soul bone. This was the first soul bone to appear in the entire Soul Master Competition.
Yang Xiong snorted coldly and didn't move, just continuing to stay beside the two support types.
And Huyan Li, Huyan Ba, and Huyan Shan actually simultaneously used their third soul skill: Death Suppression. Instantly, the entire arena vibrated, and everyone felt a strong pressure on their bodies. Even Yang Xiong, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar, who were relatively far away, felt significant pressure.
The appearance of the head soul bone almost shocked the entire audience, especially Ning Fengzhi, who couldn't help but laugh, "Sect Leader Hu Yan, your grandson is indeed exceptionally talented. I didn't expect him to have a head soul bone at such a young age. It seems his future is boundless."
Huyan Zhen just snorted coldly and didn't speak again. Soul bones are treasures in the soul master world, and his grandson was only level forty-three. Displaying such a soul bone in public could easily attract covetous eyes.
Under the Elephant Armor Academy's Death Suppression, especially with three Soul Ancestors on the opposite side, this soul skill put immense pressure on Soul Ancestors.
Unfortunately, the Shrek team members had all undergone relatively strict training and couldn't be defeated by simple large-area attack soul skills.
Especially Huyan Li, although his head soul bone was powerful, he had already used three soul skills, and the remaining soul power on his body wouldn't be much.
Oscar quickly handed over a Super Recovery Big Sausage. After consuming the sausage, everyone's soul power was restored. At the same time, with Ning Rongrong's amplification soul skills, they continued to surround and attack the three members of the Elephant Armor Academy.
Although Tang San was a Soul Ancestor, he indeed had the combat power of a Soul Ancestor. Dai Mubai's strength was also good.
After several minutes, the last person from the Elephant Armor Academy was finally attacked and fell to the ground, and the Shrek team finally achieved victory. However, this battle against a team with three Soul Ancestors also made everyone feel real pressure.
However, anyone with a discerning eye knew that this battle was basically completely crushed in terms of tactics. At least Tang San didn't show any particularly brilliant performance in terms of control, and even revealed a huge flaw. If Yang Xiong's strength hadn't been significantly stronger than Huyan Li's, he might have truly been able to go straight for the kill. At least the two Soul Ancestor support types couldn't resist him, a Soul Ancestor.
As everyone walked off the arena, Oscar spoke with lingering fear, "Brother Xiong, it's a good thing you protected us just now, otherwise Rong Rong and I would have been in danger. That big guy looked a bit scary just now."
Yang Xiong smiled, "Aren't I a defense soul master now? My main job is to protect the two support types and maintain the formation."
Ning Rongrong muttered, "Little Xiongzi, if you had attacked just now, maybe these big guys would have been defeated long ago, and it wouldn't have been so troublesome."
Yang Xiong just smiled and didn't say anything when he heard this. He didn't really want to participate in the Soul Master Competition anyway; he didn't have any desire to fight for a championship.
Although they defeated the powerful Elephant Armor Academy, Tang San didn't say anything to the others and didn't pay attention to other matches. Instead, he left the team with Yu Xiaogang.
Yang Xiong was dragged away by Ning Rongrong to go shopping. With his straightforward personality, he really didn't know what fun girls found in shopping.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San's somewhat dejected expression and comforted him, "Little San, don't think too much. You performed very well in this match. At least your combat power is not inferior to Huyan Li's."
Tang San shook his head, "Teacher, there are some things I'm very clear about. Although we won this Soul Duel Competition, my Blue Silver Grass was indeed countered."
"For these soul masters with relatively strong bodies, the toughness of my Blue Silver Grass is too poor, making it difficult to effectively control them. Although my self-created soul skills have some advantages, they can only barely make up for the gap between Soul Ancestor and Soul Ancestor, and cannot achieve absolute suppression."
Yu Xiaogang quickly said, "Little San, don't think so much. You are still young, and there is a long road ahead. Besides, don't forget, your true strength is your second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer. The real you will only emerge when you add soul rings to the Clear Sky Hammer."
Tang San was a little confused, "Teacher, why don't you and father let me add soul rings to the Clear Sky Hammer? I can clearly be stronger."
A wry smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's lips, "Twin martial souls are extremely rare, especially since your talent is even higher than I imagined. But twin martial souls also have a huge flaw, which is that cultivating two martial souls at the same time can easily cause repulsion between the martial souls, ultimately leading to self-destruction."
"Over the years, although I've tried my best to analyze and research, I ultimately haven't been able to uncover the secret of cultivating twin martial souls. This might be the biggest challenge in history."
Tang San was silent upon hearing this.
...
Yu Xiaogang once said that control system soul masters have the strongest combat power among all soul masters. Unfortunately, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass still has too obvious flaws. At the very least, its toughness is insufficient, it fears fire and ice, and it is very easily countered. The gap with top-tier martial souls is still too large.
Although Tang San has performed well recently, and is even publicly recognized as having strong combat power, possessing the combat power of a Soul Ancestor at the Soul Ancestor level, unfortunately, those are all reliant on his self-created soul skills and have little to do with the Blue Silver Grass itself.
Information in the Soul Master Competition is extremely transparent. The strengths and weaknesses of every soul master will be magnified countless times, especially strong teams who will analyze the situation of each opponent to make targeted strategies. After all, this is a rare grand event that happens only once every five years.
Compared to Tang San's extremely strong self-esteem, the others seemed happier, especially the girls. Being able to defeat a strong team like the Elephant Armor Academy at such a young age, they all seemed to enjoy this dazzling life, like celebrities.
Since the match against the Elephant Armor Academy, many teams have rapidly begun to research the various issues with the Shrek team.
Currently, the Shrek team has not lost yet and has not encountered other established strong teams. Their record is still undefeated, leading all academy teams. This dazzling achievement has instead attracted targeting from various academies.
In the following consecutive matches, the opponents basically arranged tool martial soul masters or fire attribute soul masters. Under the effect of these two types of soul masters, Tang San's control ability seemed to be further weakened.
Especially since everyone knows that Tang San is the tactical core of the entire Shrek team, and most tactics are initiated by him, cutting off Tang San's Blue Silver Grass control ability basically cuts off the fluidity of the entire team. This way, the Shrek team can only go head-to-head with the enemy, and is even prone to falling into traps.
The result of this is that every battle against an enemy is exceptionally difficult. Basically, both sides wear each other down, eliminating many of each other's members, and only gradually achieving victory in the end.
Moreover, compared to other academies, the Shrek team's advantage is not Tang San, nor is it Dai Mubai, the Soul Ancestor, but rather that the Shrek team has two high-level support system soul masters.
On this day, everyone watched the match between Blazing Fire Academy and Heavenly Water Academy together. These two teams are truly seeded teams with extremely formidable combat power. Heavenly Water Academy even defeated Elephant Armor Academy with unusual ease, making everyone from Shrek look incredibly serious.
Tang San watched the battle between the two sides and couldn't help but ask with a hint of confusion, "Teacher, why do I feel that although these two teams have good internal coordination, they don't have the support abilities like Rong Rong and Little Oscar? Do they not have support system soul masters?"
Yu Xiaogang stared at the arena and couldn't help but shake his head, "The Element Academies are all established strong teams. Their teams have a most basic requirement, which is that they must be a single element. Just like the Elephant Armor Academy team you fought against, even all seven of their martial souls are the same. They don't have a single support system soul master, not even an agility attack system soul master."
Tang San's face showed surprise, "Teacher, I've also been reviewing that match recently, and I always feel that their team's building style is completely different from ours. They seem to prefer maximizing a single attribute."
"And I've recently carefully observed the Five Element Academies. There isn't much coordination between their various elements. While their strengths are prominent, their weaknesses are equally obvious."
Yu Xiaogang said, "Actually, this relates to the two schools of thought in the soul master world. One is the extreme flow like the Element Academies, and the other is the balanced flow. In fact, our team basically has every type of soul master, so we should be considered a balanced flow."
Tang San seemed to think of something, "Teacher, have the Element Academies never thought about compensating for their weaknesses?"
Yu Xiaogang was silent for a long time before speaking, "Each of their academies has its own inheritance, and even its own backing. Behind Elephant Armor Academy is the Elephant Armor Sect, behind Thunder Academy is..."
"Alas, in recent years, besides the Five Element Academies, no other strong teams have emerged in the Heaven Dou Empire. Even this year, only the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has performed well. Relatively speaking, the Star Luo Empire seems to pay more attention to the balanced flow, and the coordination between their soul masters is better."
Tang San said, "Teacher, what about the Spirit Hall?"
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Yu Xiaogang's mouth, "Compared to the two great empires, the Spirit Hall has a deeper understanding of soul masters. They should be pursuing the extreme flow for individuals and the balanced flow for teams. I call this the fusion flow. In fact, I think their approach might be a stronger form of coordination."
Tang San said, "This Spirit Hall is too selfish. Have they never thought about publishing these theoretical knowledge? This could promote the development of the soul master world."
...
Others seemed to share the same feeling upon hearing this, but Yang Xiong and Ning Rongrong were speechless. Both were born in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and had seen far more types of soul masters and information than them.
Anyone with a bit of foresight in the soul master world knows that working together yields better results, especially with top-tier support like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
However, for students, their combat power is relatively weak, and their knowledge is relatively shallow. If they cannot maximize their own strength and martial soul attributes, it will purely lay hidden dangers for future cultivation. Not to mention the Five Element Academies, where in this world are there support system soul masters with the thunder attribute, or even control system soul masters are very rare.
