Over the next few days, despite winning, the Shrek team struggled in every match due to various targeted strategies.
Everyone targeting the Shrek team focused on two points. One was Tang San, the control system Soul Master of Shrek. He was the team's only control system Soul Master, and his weakness was very obvious, leaving Tang San somewhat dejected.
Another point was that Shrek had two Support System Soul Masters. It was well known that Support System Soul Masters cultivated relatively slowly, which led to many teams having no support or only one support. Otherwise, having too many support Soul Masters would greatly impact combat power.
But Yang Xiong, the defense system Soul Master, stood in front of Oscar and Ning Rongrong like a copper wall and iron barrier, rarely venturing forward to participate in offense from beginning to end.
Moreover, Yang Xiong's strength was much greater than anyone had imagined. Even if many people broke through the blockade of the front four, they were basically defeated by Yang Xiong with one or two punches.
Yang Xiong, this defense system Soul Master, also gradually began to be studied by opponents. Unfortunately, no matter how much they studied him, Yang Xiong seemed to be like a transparent person. He had never used any soul skills from beginning to end, basically ending the battle with a punch or a claw.
About a third of the way through the competition schedule, another focal battle arrived: the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Shrek Team against the Blazing Fire Academy. Among all the academies, the so-called Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team surprisingly maintained an undefeated record. Although they hadn't encountered many strong teams, their performance as the top-ranked team was truly strange. Even the Emperor Xue Ye, who usually didn't show much emotion, gradually had a smile on his face. If the Heaven Dou Second Team could also advance to the finals, it would be the best record in the history of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
It should be known that all the elites of the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy were basically picked first by the first team. In the past, the second team was basically just there to make up the numbers or for noble children to gain experience. Their current performance was unexpectedly surprising.
Especially the Three Great Education Committees, who were praised by the Emperor Xue Ye. At least the decision to let Shrek enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was correct.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy Shrek Team had achieved a record of ten wins and zero losses so far, tied for first place with the Divine Wind Team, Thunder Team, and Heavenly Water Team. The Blazing Fire Academy had only lost to the Heavenly Water Academy, but despite only losing one match, their record ranked fifth.
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were extremely serious about this match, and they even prepared for the possibility of losing.
After getting on the stage, Yang Xiong also carefully observed the seven members of the Blazing Fire Academy. Everyone was wearing fiery red clothes, looking extremely dazzling.
The captain, Huo Wushuang, had a very strong physique with well-defined muscles, appearing to have undergone long-term training. Especially his Martial Soul, the Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon, was a top-grade Beast Martial Soul, and also a top-grade Strength type Martial Soul, even stronger than Dai Mubai's White Tiger Martial Soul.
Of course, the most dazzling was their vice-captain, Huo Wu. Huo Wu wore a fiery red dress with a shoulder-baring design and had red hair, especially the flame mark on her forehead. She was definitely a great beauty, no wonder she attracted the infatuation of Feng Xiaotian, the number one simp in Douluo.
The Blazing Fire Academy's configuration was very strange: one strong attack system Soul Ancestor, Huo Wushuang; one control system Soul Ancestor, Huo Wu; two support system Soul Masters with the Martial Soul Fire Star, Huo Yun and Huo Yu; plus three agile attack system Soul Masters, two of whom had the Fire Crane Martial Soul capable of flight, and one with the agile attack system Fire Leopard Martial Soul.
Anyone could see that this was a very violent combination, and their attack power might be one of the strongest among all teams.
As expected, at the start, Huo Wushuang took the lead, and the huge Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon directly charged towards Shrek. Behind him followed the Soul Master with the Fire Leopard Martial Soul, and two huge Fire Cranes flew in the sky.
Originally, Tang San wanted to use his Blue Silver Grass to control the enemy, but a flash of fire appeared on everyone's bodies, and the Blue Silver Grass was instantly burned to ashes.
In just an instant, Huo Wushuang collided with Dai Mubai. The two were evenly matched, but the powerful fire attribute of the Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon caused extreme pain to the body, as if being scorched.
At the same time, a huge Fire Star flew out from Huo Yun and Huo Yu, instantly merging into the other five people's bodies. The flames on the other five people became much stronger.
Even Yang Xiong, who was the furthest away, felt the temperature of the entire stage rise sharply, as if he were in a sea of fire. The most uncomfortable were probably Tang San and Xiao Wu in front of him. One's Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass, and the other's was a rabbit. Both of these Martial Souls were very afraid of fire, while Tai Long and Dai Mubai were slightly better off.
Ning Rongrong's huge Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda instantly shot out three rays of light, landing on Dai Mubai, Tai Long, and Xiao Wu respectively. She even chanted, "Seven Treasures have a name, the first is Strength."
It was clear that at this moment, Ning Rongrong had used the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to amplify everyone's strength.
Oscar immediately handed a sausage to Ning Rongrong. Simultaneously amplifying four people indeed consumed a lot of soul power.
Compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the food system still had limitations. At least the food needed to be delivered to teammates to be consumed, which involved a certain time lag. At least it wasn't like Ning Rongrong, who could provide support whenever she wanted.
After receiving the amplification, Dai Mubai faced Huo Wushuang without giving way. Both simultaneously used their Second Soul Skill. Dai Mubai's Second Soul Skill was White Tiger Light Wave, a golden light flying out from his mouth, while Huo Wushuang's Second Soul Skill was Tyrant Dragon Flame, a fiery light also flying out from the Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon.
Two powerful auras collided, and both retreated a step almost simultaneously. However, it was obvious that Dai Mubai's hand trembled slightly, and there were even slight burns on his hand. It seemed that Huo Wushuang's soul skill was indeed powerful enough, and the fire attribute was strong enough.
Seeing that both sides were about to get entangled, Huo Wu on the opposite side moved extremely quickly. Her Third Soul Ring flashed, and a huge fire ring attacked Dai Mubai, clearly intending to surround Dai Mubai with Huo Wushuang and first defeat the Shrek team's only Soul Ancestor.
The others originally wanted to go to the rescue, but unexpectedly, the fire ring produced terrifying power, and all of Shrek were repelled. Even Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, which he originally wanted to use for support, was instantly burned to ashes. The formation of the entire Shrek team instantly became loose.
Yang Xiong's mouth twitched as he watched Huo Wu throw out the Repelling Fire Ring. Huo Wu's Third Soul Skill was indeed very good, a top-grade defense system soul skill. As a result, Huo Wu's control was much stronger than expected, actually being able to throw out a defense system soul skill for offense. She was indeed one of the two strongest control system Soul Masters in the Heaven Dou region.
The Heaven Dou region's preliminary competition has already reached its halfway point. The two strongest control system Soul Masters are widely recognized as Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er. One with ice and one with fire, their control is excellent. In comparison, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass control is not as outstanding, though his combat performance is quite good.
Since the Repelling Fire Ring simultaneously pushed everyone away, Huo Wushuang, the Fire Leopard Soul Master, and the two Soul Masters with Fire Crane Martial Souls were incredibly fast in that instant, all rushing towards Tang San, seemingly intending to gang up on him with full force.
Tang San himself was startled and immediately used his Third Soul Skill, Blue Silver Hurricane Array, clearly intending to rely on it to injure the enemies and protect himself.
But the three opponents simultaneously used their Third Soul Skills. Especially Huo Wushuang, who transformed into a giant Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon. The roar of the dragon echoed throughout the arena, and a massive dragon shadow charged towards Tang San. It was precisely his Third Soul Skill: Tyrant Dragon's Fury.
The Soul Skills of the other three were also extremely fast and all were fire-type Soul Skills with immense power. It seemed they wouldn't stop until Tang San was defeated.
Ning Rongrong reacted extremely quickly. Her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda instantly emitted three rays of light, rapidly injecting into Tang San's body. At the same time, she chanted a spell: "Seven Treasures have names: First is Strength, Second is Speed, Third is Soul!"
But even so, Tang San's Blue Silver Hurricane Array was quickly burned through in an instant, especially as various flames seemed to want to engulf Tang San.
Seeing Tang San being surrounded by enemies, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and Tai Long rushed to his aid without hesitation. The three of them directly unleashed their Third Soul Skills. Especially Xiao Wu, who instantly teleported to Tang San's side, wanting to help him resist together.
A huge explosion occurred in the arena. Tang San and the other three were attacked by flames almost simultaneously, and it looked like everyone was seriously injured. Yang Xiong even felt a scorched smell coming from the entire arena, though he didn't know which unlucky person it was.
Seeing that the three of them were injured while trying to rescue him, especially Xiao Wu, Tang San instantly became incredibly enraged, especially harboring extreme hostility towards the people on the opposite side.
However, an extremely terrifying scene appeared in the arena. The two Support System Soul Masters from Blazing Fire Academy erupted with intense firelight. Endless Fire Star energy actually began to merge into Huo Wu's body. The two of them must have simultaneously used multiple fire-attribute amplification Soul Skills.
And Huo Wu raised her hands high, as if holding a giant sun between them. The sun contained terrifying flame energy, as if it was about to explode. This was precisely Huo Wu's Fourth Soul Skill: Huo Wu Illuminating Sun.
All the spectators held their breath at this moment. Huo Wu's Huo Wu Illuminating Sun was originally extremely powerful, recognized as one of the most potent Soul Skills among all Soul Masters in the Heaven Dou region. Now, with the full support of two Support Soul Masters, its power was basically amplified to the extreme. It would be difficult for anyone within the Soul Ancestor rank to withstand it.
Huo Wu herself looked a bit shaky and shouted, "Quickly surrender! The power of my Fourth Soul Skill is too great. Even I can't fully control it now."
Yang Xiong looked at this Huo Wu Illuminating Sun. In terms of attack, it absolutely maximized the power of the fire element. It was simply not something a Soul Ancestor could withstand. Even Huyan Li, who was known for the strongest defense, would likely be severely injured by this move, or even killed directly.
Yang Xiong also shouted, "The power of this Soul Skill is too great. It's not something we can withstand right now."
Even though Yang Xiong said this, Tang San, holding Xiao Wu, was filled with unwillingness in his eyes: "Yang Xiong, I don't want to let go of any enemy who hurt Xiao Wu. I want them to pay the price."
Seeing Tang San like this, Yang Xiong didn't know what to say. This was just an arena match, how did it feel like a life-and-death struggle?
Yang Xiong didn't hesitate and looked directly at Yu Xiaogang beside him. But at this moment, Yu Xiaogang's attention was completely focused on Tang San, as if he hadn't even noticed Yang Xiong's gaze.
Seeing the massive Huo Wu Illuminating Sun about to fall, Dai Mubai quickly spoke up, "Little San, calm down. This is a Soul Duel Competition. Xiao Wu's injury isn't serious. Our current bodies simply can't block this move."
Tang San's eyes were unusually cold at this moment: "Boss Dai, I promised Xiao Wu that I wouldn't let anyone hurt her. No one."
Yang Xiong didn't hesitate either, and instead spoke to Ning Rongrong and Oscar: "How are your Soul Powers? How much longer can you last?"
Ning Rongrong and Oscar instantly understood Yang Xiong's meaning. Both of them quickly used their Soul Skills. Various amplifications fell onto Tang San and the other three, and multiple sausages flew towards them at the same time.
Huo Wu on the other side looked at the Shrek people with gnashing teeth. She was deliberately giving the opponents time to consider, but the opponents were actually still amplifying themselves. Did they really want to force her to severely injure everyone on the opposite side?
Yang Xiong seemed to think of something and quickly looked at Flander in the distance. Flander seemed to understand Yang Xiong's meaning, a hint of decisiveness appeared in his eyes, and he closed his eyes and nodded.
Receiving Flander's instruction, Yang Xiong quickly raised his hand: "We surrender this match."
But as soon as Yang Xiong finished speaking, Tang San on the opposite side roared angrily: "If you want to surrender, you surrender. I will never surrender."
Seeing Tang San like this, Yang Xiong didn't hesitate too much. He directly pushed Oscar and Ning Rongrong off the arena, while he himself stood alone at the edge of the arena.
