Chapter 202.
On the stage, the masters, Liu Erlong, Ning Rongrong, and others who were present wore equally solemn expressions. What impact will this mutated martial soul of the Elephant Armored Academy will have on this battle? They also grasped Tang San's aerial combat strategy.
It was Wang Feng who breached the Elephant Armored Academy's defense line first, flying directly to the other side with Jiang Zhu, keeping her out of reach of the Elephant Armored Academy's attacks.
"Aerial combat?" Huyan Li chuckled, "Brothers, get in line!" As he spoke, seven people lined up, led by disciples on the left and right, swiftly closing ranks.
The four formed the outer circle, followed by two forming the second circle, with Huyan Li in the center. Seeing this, Tang San was taken aback. The opposing party seemed uninterested in employing a mutated martial soul, opting to maintain the iron-clad formation.
This formation of their's was challenging to penetrate. The four in the outer circle acted as defense, resisting airborne attacks with ease.
However, Tang San, when he used Mubai, Zhu Qing, and Jing Ling's assaults, would fall prey to those inside the formation. Especially the four outside, with their second soul ring illuminated, enveloped in an icy layer primarily for defense. Among them, Huyan Li, leading the three, seemed to concentrate their soul power, as if building momentum.
Four person to defend, and three to counter attack! They weren't given any chance at all, and no opening was exposed! Wang Feng, observing from a distance–, was also surprised by what he saw.
"The Elephant Armored Academy truly lives up to its status among the seven major sects... Even without auxiliary soul master in their team, their cooperation, along with their unique soul power movements and combination skills, is remarkably extraordinary, giving off an aura of flawlessness."
Wang Feng mused to himself, "Dealing with enemies in the air isn't easy, even with the ability of mutant martial soul being utilized by Huyan Li, it seems." So far, despite the surprise evident on Huyan Li's face, he clearly had no intention of utilizing the mutant martial soul flying capability.
"What could they be waiting for?" Wang Feng pondered as he glanced at the bright, diamond-like wings behind Huyan Li, furrowing his brow slightly, vaguely sensing something amiss. The wings were incredibly large and powerful, yet... somewhat rigid, possibly due to their diamond-like sheen.
In that moment, Tang San, unable to find any opening, had to rely on his own strength to seek out opportunities to attack.
"Blue Silver Cage!"
His soul power surged within him, and the Blue Silver Cage swiftly ensnared the seven individuals below, before initiating a parasitic assault, quickly enveloping all of them in Blue Silver Grass.
"Cobweb binding!"
The seven trapped individuals struggled to break free from the Blue Silver Grass, but the combined force of the two soul abilities made it impossible. It would take at least twenty seconds for them to free themselves of the blue silver grass. Without any momentum currently, they remained stationary.
If they could rely on the momentum of the seven people, they could break free quickly, but that was impossible at the moment. Tang San's final attack, Cobweb Binding, landed accurately and controlled Huyan Li.
"What formidable defense!" Tang San thought to himself, "The spikes on my Blue Silver Grass can't penetrate their skin! It means the paralyzing and corrosive toxins are ineffective! They can only be somewhat restrained!"
"Attack Huyan Li with full force! We need to force him to use his mutated martial soul ability!"
Tang San urged quietly, "Zhuqing, you'll fuse martial soul with Brother Feng later, you'll have ample opportunity to attack, so don't hold back! Mubai, Jingling, be cautious and conserve some strength to avoid any mishaps.
If the opponent uses any special techniques to break free from my Blue Silver Grass, make sure to evade their attacks promptly!"
With a swift motion, Tang San manipulated the Blue Silver Grass entwining the three individuals, using the Controlling Crane Catching Dragons technique to accurately bring them to the ground and then directing his strike towards Huyan Li! Leading the charge was Dai Mubai, who initiated the White Tiger Vajra Transformation upon landing and charged towards Huyan Li.
Since the opponent was centered and not particularly strong, Dai Mubai had to leap high into the air, unleashing a White Tiger's Intense Light Wave, sending a massive energy beam toward Huyan Li.
He was then lifted by Blue Silver Grass once more, accurately dropping from mid-air, directly onto Huyan Li's position.
His pale golden tiger palm radiated a fierce glow. Both Zhu Zhuqing and Jing Ling specialized in agility attacks and could target Hu Yanli with accuracy, especially Zhu Zhuqing.
With her claws gleaming purple-gold, she also soared through the air, leaving behind a trail of shimmering light as she descended upon Huyan Li. Jing Ling, also arriving shortly after, possessed a skeletal martial soul, wielding bone like knives that were as sharp as gold and silver blades, closed in on Huyan Li for combat!
As the three launched their attack, Huyan Li, trapped and immobile, finally used his mutant martial soul. His enormous wings abruptly closed around him, forming a diamond-like barrier that exuded a powerful aura and seemed highly defensive. Surprisingly, they were utilized to withstand the onslaught from the trio.
The White Tiger Intense Light Wave from Dai Mubai bombarded the wings, emitting special energy waves, while Zhu Zhuqing and Jing Ling's assaults also targeted the wings, causing the diamond sheen to almost shatter under Zhu Zhuqing's attack. Witnessing this, Tang San and the others were taken aback.
"Those wings? Weren't they only meant for flying?" Tang San exclaimed incredulously, "Could it be that this mutant martial soul, the Flying Diamond Mammoth, prioritizes defense over flight? That doesn't make any sense!"
On the other side, Wang Feng seemed to have a revelation, his expression darkening slightly. Under normal circumstances, wings are used for flight, not defense.
How could they be used in such a manner?
Unless...
"Wait!" Wang Feng's complexion changed as he seemingly grasped something, casting a glance at the diamond sheen on the wings once more. "What's wrong?" Jiang Zhu asked from the sidelines, always ready to assist the others.
"Huyan Li's mutant martial soul has the ability to fly, but it likely requires certain conditions to activate," Wang Feng explained gravely, "Tang San and the others' attacks may inadvertently prompt the activation condition..." Jiang Zhu was stunned, still trying to piece it all together. Meanwhile, Huyan Zhen at the VIP table wore a slight smile.
"The Flying Diamond Mammoth, a unique mutant martial soul, grants the Diamond Mammoth the ability to fly," he explained smugly, "However, this flying ability cannot be accessed immediately... It requires a specific condition to unlock!" His self-satisfied words left Ning Fengzhi somewhat puzzled.
"Could it be..." Ning Fengzhi, carefully observing the situation on the field, pondered each move made by Tang San. Even with an overwhelming advantage, especially in the air.
However, the revelation of this mutant martial soul left Ning Fengzhi feeling perplexed. It wasn't until Huyan Zhen spoke that a suspicion began to form in his mind.
"I'm afraid... those wings..." Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered with realization. Almost simultaneously, Wang Feng's voice rang out deeply, "Needs to be attacked to unlock the ability to fly!" Jiang Zhu was equally stunned upon hearing this revelation.
But then, as the wings, gleaming with diamond luster, endured the severe assault from the three attackers, they suddenly began to fracture. It wasn't the wings themselves breaking, but rather the diamond like hard scales like things on their surface. With a resounding boom, the true form of the wings was revealed in an instant. Contrary to what Wang Feng had observed, these wings were genuine, devoid of the stiffness he had noted earlier.
"So that's it?" Tang San marveled in midair, equally astonished.
"No wonder Huyan Li showed no interest in flying when we took to the air. Despite having wings, he didn't utilize them to ascend. Instead, he focused on defense. His mutant soul requires the wings to be attacked, breaking the diamond like things on the surface before they can be utilized to fly!
What incredible power this mutant martial soul possesses!"
Truly formidable! Prior to their fracture, the wings served as an exceptional defense, while post-fracture, they granted the ability to fly, devoid of their defensive properties.
Who could have foreseen this?
"Is this the prowess of one of the Seven Major Sects?" Tang San mused as he observed Huyan Li slowly ascending.
The remaining six individuals formed a formation, three in the first row, two in the second row, and one on top, linking hands and feet as they converged towards Huyan Li.
Their intention was clear, to use Huyan Li as their primary point of attack and enhance his flight capabilities in the air. Huyan Li expansive wings were more than capable of supporting his weight effortlessly. Now, Tang San and his companions found themselves at a disadvantage.
Oscar's recovery sausage had been given to Tang San to replenish the spirit power he had just expended by using two soul abilities simultaneously.
"Fall back!" Tang San commanded firmly.
"There's no escape!" Huyan Li chuckled, "Are you controlling them? Using the Blue Silver Grass to attack us from every angle in midair? It's a powerful move! A very clever and efficient strategy! But unfortunately for you, I'm here now, in the air! As long as I hold you, they're grounded, unable to flee!"
Despite his rough exterior, Huyan Li proved to be as sharp as a needle. At this moment, he –soared through the air, clearly not targeting Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, and Jingling.
Instead, he aimed directly for Tang San, the mastermind of the team!
Tang San quickly used countless strands of Blue Silver Grass in front of him, attempting to ensnare and restrain him.
Almost simultaneously, the entangled Dai Mubai and Jing Ling launched their attack towards the formation beneath Huyan Li as Tang San manipulated the Blue Silver Grass to launch them, aiming to disrupt their coordination. The final Blue Silver Grass propelled Zhu Zhuqing towards Wang Feng's side.
Meanwhile, Tang San consumed a pink sausage, enhancing his own abilities and granting immunity to various negative effects, including control states. At this critical moment, Tang San swiftly employed his Heart Separation Control technique. However, Hu Yanli and the other six players reacted with equal speed. Their third purple soul rings lit up simultaneously.
