Faint

As the main character, he relied on cheating to win and was quite pleased with himself.

Does other people's hard work not count as hard work?

How many younger generations will this corrupt...

"Not needed!"

"Not needed!"

Both sides spoke almost in unison.

"Alright~"

Neuvillette nodded and continued, "In that case, both sides maintain the pre-match safe distance."

Hearing this, the members of both Blue Sunshine and Skywater teams consciously stepped back until they were about sixty meters apart before stopping.

"Let the match begin!"

Without any flashy theatrics, after saying this, Neuvillette instantly moved away from the center of the stage, as if teleporting, appearing at the edge of the stage in less than 0.1 seconds.

The audience gasped in surprise, but after considering Neuvillette's strength, they felt relieved.

This person was an extremely formidable existence, and doing this was not difficult for him.

Both sides almost simultaneously released their martial spirits.

This time, Tang San did not choose the "fixed-point aerial strike" tactic. Most of the Skywater team members had long-range attack soul skills, and using such a tactic against Skywater would make them moving targets.

"Shui Bing'er!"

Tang San signaled to his team that if they first eliminated the captain of the Skywater girls' team, victory would be within their grasp!

Shui Bing'er was the core of the Skywater girls' team and the key to their martial soul fusion technique. Taking her out first would be highly advantageous.

Although the Blue Sunshine Seven were not on good terms with Tang San, they were allies in this match and had to win!

There was no issue in following Tang San's lead.

"When should we act?"

"Now!"

"Alright!"

The team members exchanged glances and nodded.

A single person's soul skill might struggle against an opponent of the same level.

However, six people targeting one soul master simultaneously would be almost effortless!

Even if it were Hu Liena, who specialized in spiritual power, facing six people simultaneously releasing their soul skills targeting her, she would be disoriented for a while!

This demonstrates that an individual's power is limited, but a group's power is entirely different.

This is also why soul master legions are so terrifying.

Clearly, these legions are made up of low-level soul masters, yet they can easily kill stronger opponents, as easily as eating and drinking.

This is normal!

The power of a single soul master might not be significant; their soul skills might just tickle a higher-level soul master.

But what about ten? A hundred? A thousand?

Even the Angel God and Rakshasa would hesitate and choose to temporarily retreat when faced with an army of millions in a "critical health" state.

(This is from the original work)

These are gods!

Even a powerful Bloodline Warrior wouldn't be able to handle it!

"Bing'er, be careful! They are targeting you!"

Xue Wu who was slightly older said to Shui Bing'er.

"Understood!"

Shui Bing'er nodded gravely. How could she not see it?

However, she didn't have very good defensive measures.

"When they launch their soul skills at me, Tang Yin should come in to finish me off. Use this time to attack Tang Yin!"

"Yes!"

No one had any objections to Shui Bing'er's decision.

But Tang San did have objections.

These women really didn't follow the martial code of conduct!

An open scheme!

Everyone was using open schemes!

In the contestant rest area, on the Spirit Hall Academy's side.

Hu Liena was staring at the contestants on the stage.

In fact, she had only one target, and that was Tang San!

Only this monstrous talent with the ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring was worthy of their attention.

This was Tang San's first match after coming to Spirit City, and the number of people paying attention to this match was not small.

Especially the contestants from the Star Luo Empire.

And the local audience of Spirit City.

"What, a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring?"

Everyone stared in astonishment, some bewildered.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—such a configuration is the normal setup, right?

What on earth is this ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring?

"I didn't expect there to be such a monstrous talent from the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"Their team had a bye in the second round, being the first in Heaven Dou Empire's qualifiers. Having such strength isn't strange at all."

"But it seems like his teammates are a bit weak..."

The people from the Heaven Dou Empire didn't respond much to these comments. When they faced the Blue Sunshine Academy, they would naturally understand.

"First soul skill: Ice Lock!"

Shui Bing'er launched the first attack, her first soul skill being an instant-cast type that could freeze opponents instantly.

Moreover, she could continuously activate this soul skill. While it wasn't a crowd control technique per se, if she used it fast enough, it could achieve a similar effect.

"Third soul skill: Mental Disturbance!"

"Third soul skill: Mental Disturbance!"

"Third..."

The Blue Sunshine Academy wasn't holding back. Almost simultaneously, all six members targeted Shui Bing'er with mental disturbance soul skills.

This mental disturbance was also a targeted and instant-cast soul skill.

Before the cold wave reached them, their soul skills were already unleashed towards Shui Bing'er.

"Fourth soul skill: Blue Silver Overlord Spear!"

Though not deploying the "fixed-point aerial strike," it shared a similar tactical essence.

"Protect the captain!"

Stunned by the mental disturbance, Shui Bing'er was instantly replaced by the vice-captain, Xue Wu, who assumed the captain's responsibilities.

While protecting Shui Bing'er, everyone had been busy using their own soul skills to alter the "terrain".

Creating a terrain more suitable for their combat!

Tang San's lips curled slightly upwards as he murmured, "You guessed wrong!"

He understood Shui Bing'er's importance to the Skywater girls' team. Even if the mental disturbance succeeded, these women would shield Shui Bing'er.

But his initial target wasn't Shui Bing'er after all?

The Blue Silver Overlord Spear drew a blue-golden arc.

Tang San was already adept in hidden weapons, making the Blue Silver Overlord Spear a perfect fit for his skills.

"No! His target isn't the captain!"

"Xue Wu, be careful!"

"His target is you!"

Indeed, Tang San's initial target wasn't Shui Bing'er, but Xue Wu, who could serve as the fusion material for their martial soul fusion technique!

Yes, in the original timeline, it was Xue Wu and Shui Bing'er who released the martial soul fusion technique.

As for Shui Yue, her "version" of releasing the martial soul fusion technique differed from Shui Bing'er's.

In the true original timeline, only Xue Wu released the martial soul fusion technique with Shui Bing'er...

Too slow to speak, too fast to act.

Xue Wu knew that Tang San's target had shifted to her, but what could she do?

No matter how she dodged, this attack seemed to lock onto her, giving her a feeling of inevitability!

"I can't dodge it!"

Xue Wu's eyes widened, her lips slightly parted, struggling to speak.

"Boom..."

After a loud noise, Xue Wu was somewhat dazed.

"I, I'm not injured?"

As she finished speaking, she caught sight of someone out of the corner of her eye...
