Su Yuntao shouted, "Now, please have the three strongest teams confirm their seven-person rosters and the order of their appearances, then submit them to me."
The order of appearance was determined beforehand to prevent teams from sending out targeted, counteracting members. Once the roster was finalized, it could not be changed, and they had to appear in the order listed for the single-elimination challenge.
Ten minutes later, all three teams had confirmed their rosters.
The seven members sent by the Spirit Hall Team, and their order, were: Lin Yu, Zhang Ping, Li Kai, Sun Chuantao, Hu Liena, Yan, Xie Yue, with Qian Renxue as the last person.
The Wind, Water, Fire Academy's members were: Feng Chen, Yu Hairou, Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, Gu Yuena.
Heaven Dou Team One's members were: Ma Hongjun, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Tang San, Yu Tianheng.
After the rosters and order of the three teams were confirmed, a draw was held to determine which two teams would send their members to the arena first.
After the draw, Heaven Dou Team One was lucky, getting the third spot.
The Spirit Hall Team and the Wind, Water, Fire Academy would send out their first members for a single challenge.
"Spirit Hall Team and Wind, Water, Fire Academy, please send out your first members to the arena," Su Yuntao shouted.
"I wonder if we'll get to see Hall Master Lin Yu in action during this Three Powers Hegemony Tournament! What do you all think, where will Hall Master Lin Yu be ranked in Spirit Hall's lineup?"
"In these arena matches, it's basically from weakest to strongest. Hall Master Lin Yu's strength is extraordinary, so he'll either be seventh or sixth."
"And in this kind of single challenge match, Spirit Hall is absolutely dominant! Perhaps Spirit Hall only needs to send out four people to knock out the Heaven Dou and Wind, Water, Fire Academy teams."
The onlookers speculated.
"I am Feng Chen of the Wind, Water, Fire Academy, Spirit Wind Wings, a Level 42 agility-attack systemSpirit Ancestor!" The first member of the Wind, Water, Fire Academy stepped onto the stage, then looked towards the Spirit Hall side: "Who will be the first to appear for the Spirit Hall Team?"
He also wondered in his heart: "As long as it's not a Spirit King powerhouse, I can fight them. Sun Chuantao, Zhang Ping, or Li Kai?"
However, the first person to appear completely surprised and exceeded everyone's expectations.
Lin Yu moved slightly, instantly arriving on the stage: "Spirit Hall Team's Lin Yu, SpiritElement Angel, Level 77 attack systemSpirit Saint."
"My goodness! Lin Yu!!"
"No way, Hall Master Lin Yu is actually the first to appear. They... are they, Spirit Hall, trying to have one person directly defeat both Heaven Dou and Wind, Water, Fire Academy?!"
"They're really not holding back!"
The entire audience was stunned, truly not expecting Lin Yu to be the first to appear.
Seeing Lin Yu appear first, the faces of all members of the Wind, Water, Fire Academy and Heaven Dou Team One turned ugly.
No need to think, Spirit Hall definitely wanted one person to defeat both of their teams!
One against fourteen!
If their two teams were really defeated by Lin Yu alone, it would be a bit embarrassing!
Tang San and Xiao Wu's hearts fluttered even more. Xiao Wu, somewhat afraid, clutched Tang San's sleeve.
Although she was privately arrogant, slandering, and saying she wanted to beat Lin Yu, when it came to actually fighting, she would chicken out, be afraid, and be intimidated.
Tang San comforted her, "Xiao Wu, don't be afraid. When it's your turn, try your best to deplete his spirit power. If it's really impossible, just surrender immediately."
"Mm, I understand."
"I didn't expect him to be the first to appear, Xiao Wu. This is also an opportunity for us. Perhaps we can see Lin Yu in a disheveled, frustrated, and defeated state."
"Even if he can truly defeat both of our teams, we can still use this to understand Lin Yu's true strength." While Tang San was wary of fighting Lin Yu again, he was also a little excited inside.
He knew that there was a member in the Wind, Water, Fire Academy named Gu Yuena, who was very strong and mysterious, and had not revealed her true strength in the competition so far.
If Lin Yu appeared first, their two teams, 14 people, could take turns in a war of attrition against Lin Yu. By the time Lin Yu fought Gu Yuena, his stamina and spirit power would be depleted, and his combat power would have declined.
Perhaps that mysterious and powerful Gu Yuena would have a chance to defeat Lin Yu.
In this way.
Tang San could see Lin Yu's disheveled appearance when he was defeated.
Whether it was someone else or not, as long as he could see Lin Yu being knocked down, Tang San would feel very satisfied.
Even if Gu Yuena ultimately couldn't defeat Lin Yu, at least he would be able to see most of Lin Yu's strength, right?
This way, Tang San would also have a rough idea of how strong Lin Yu currently was.
Xiao Wu also got a little excited when she heard this. The thought of Lin Yu being knocked down by someone else in front of her made her feel comfortable and satisfied: "That's right! Third Brother is right, then I'll talk to the Wind, Water, Fire Academy side and tell them to avoid direct confrontation and all work together to fully deplete Lin Yu's state!"
"Our two teams will join forces to thoroughly knock Lin Yu down!"
"No need to say anything, I think they'll do the same." Tang San wasn't stupid; the Wind, Water, Fire Academy would understand this without being told.
Only by fully depleting Lin Yu's state was their best plan to defeat him.
After seeing the situation, the Wind, Water, Fire Academy indeed adopted the strategy of fully depleting Lin Yu's state.
Gu Yuena smiled in her heart: "Want to defeat two teams by yourself? If I, Gu Yuena, weren't here, you might be able to do it, but since I am here to hold the fort for the Wind, Water, Fire Academy, even if you, Lin Yu, are as strong as a Spirit Saint, you can only lose."
Gu Yuena was still very confident.
"Feng Chen, avoid direct confrontation, use evasive tactics to deplete Lin Yu!" Feng Xiaotian reminded from outside the arena.
"I understand."
Feng Chen nodded, decisively releasing his Spirit.
"Deplete? I say, are you thinking too much?" Lin Yu shook his head and chuckled.
The reason he appeared was mainly because he wanted to fight Gu Yuena; he wasn't very interested in personally abusing these people.
He directly released his Fourth Spirit Ability, Element Clone!
Seven clones immediately appeared around Lin Yu.
"Clone-type Spirit Ability?"
"What abilities do these clones have? How strong are they?"
"I don't know! Legend only says Lin Yu is very strong, but few people on the continent know about all of Lin Yu's Spirit Abilities after his Second Spirit Ability."
Many people were bewildered, unaware of the strength of Lin Yu's Element Clone.
"Feng, you go deal with them."
Lin Yu assigned the Wind clone to fight, then directly retreated to the very back of the stage, pulled out a stool, crossed his legs, and sat down. The Fire, Water, and other six clones stood beside him, watching the show.
He was very relaxed and leisurely.
Feng Chen, the opponent's member, couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw this. He felt insulted and said somewhat angrily, "No way, Hall Master Lin Yu! You're just sending a clone to deal with me?"
"My clones are enough to deal with you all!"
Lin Yu spoke truthfully, with no intention of insulting them.
Because even his weakest single-attribute clone now actually had the combat power of a high-level Spirit Douluo.
