Chapter 645 Unexpected Battle Situation
Tianyang Douluo's surprise was fleeting, but he remained in control of the match.
"Shrek vs. Mingdou, the next individual match is about to begin. Please bring your teams to the stage."
When Yun Lueying entered the arena, he hid his right hand behind his back to conceal the weapon he was holding. Thanks to his teammates buying him enough time to recover, he is now over 90% recovered.
Although the Azure Mist Spear was a soul tool specially made by Xian Lin'er for the captain, and it was his first time using it, as long as he could unleash half of its power, it would be enough to make up for his weakness in attack power.
The humanoid soul tool is practically a hexagonal warrior, the complete nemesis of agility-type soul masters like him who only excel at speed. Even if he stands still and lets it hit him, it would be very difficult to break through its defense.
But now that I have the Azure Spear, and the opponent has three players, I have at most two opportunities to get my hands on it.
Even if we can't defeat the opponent's main force, they still have their weakest member...
Just as Yun Lueying was making this assessment, his opponent appeared in his field of vision; it was Qianfeng.
The Mingdou team member is the youngest and only has a cultivation level of three rings.
Yun Lueying paused slightly, unable to believe Ming Dou's arrangement. His heart suddenly raced, and he became somewhat agitated.
But he quickly suppressed his excitement and forced himself to calm down again.
"Stay calm. This match is about Shrek's honor. Now it's just me left. I can't afford to be careless."
Not only on the field, but also off the field, everyone was astonished when they saw that Mingdou had sent out Senfeng as his opponent in this round.
But Shrek felt a sense of unease in addition to his surprise.
On the imperial city wall, Elder Xuan stared wide-eyed, his right fist clenched tightly and then relaxed.
Xue Lingzhao murmured, "Why would Ming Dou send out this young man? Don't they realize that Shrek Academy only has one person left?"
He had a particularly deep impression of Qianfeng. It was Qianfeng who had defeated the highly anticipated Swan Prince Xuelan in the group stage.
Elder Xuan said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, appearances can be deceiving. We may have underestimated this young man. He may be the trump card of Mingdou Academy."
"Hidden card? But he only has three rings after all." Xue Lingzhao frowned. "Although he defeated Lan'er before, that was after Lan'er had gone through a series of battles and lost because of the attribute advantage."
Elder Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid things are not that simple. You should know that his martial soul, the Purgatory Halberd, has the potential to become an evil martial soul."
Now that Ye Guyi has vindicated Qianfeng, he didn't directly say that Qianfeng was an evil soul master, but he still made a veiled sarcastic remark.
On the Mingdou Academy side, another key player in top form looked at Ning Yuan in confusion: "Captain, why didn't you send me out? I still have my mecha."
Ning Yuan said solemnly, "Your chances of winning aren't any higher than Qian Feng's. Didn't you see what the other side is holding?"
When the puzzled team member saw the Azure Lan Spear in Yun Lueying's hand, he immediately lost his composure. The scene of that spear slicing through the mecha's outer shell had happened just moments before.
Ning Yuan said one last thing before focusing all his attention on the game: "All we can do now is trust Qianfeng."
Tianyang Douluo slightly raised his hand: "Please have both teams announce their names and make final preparations."
"A fleeting shadow of clouds."
"A Thousand Winds".
In those final few dozen seconds of preparation time, Yun Lueying kept scrutinizing Qianfeng, recalling all the information about the other party that the dean had summarized during his previous analysis.
Qianfeng, around twelve years old, possesses the Martial Soul Purgatory Halberd, which is associated with darkness and power. He is a three-ring offensive Soul Master with outstanding strength, roughly equivalent to an ordinary four-ring Soul Master or even a peak four-ring Soul Master, but definitely not stronger than Qianfeng, a peak five-ring Soul Master.
However, according to Elder Xuan and the Dean, the Purgatory Halberd has the potential to become an evil martial soul, with unpredictable and mysterious abilities, and must be treated with caution. In the group stage, he defeated Xue Lan by relying on attribute advantage.
It was precisely because he kept this advice firmly in mind that Yun Lueying remained calm. His martial soul was the wind-attribute Shadow Swallow, so he didn't need to worry about being restrained by dark-attribute energy.
Qianfeng excels in strength, especially in wielding the Purgatory Halberd to unleash powerful and sweeping slashes. Yun Lueying witnessed this firsthand during the team battle.
He successfully traded two of Shrek's support players with a sneak attack.
Although Qianfeng's power is strong, it is still within an acceptable range. He can defeat two support characters by sneak attack, but he can never defeat Yun Lueying.
Just as Yun Lueying was pondering, Tianyang Douluo suddenly waved his right hand down: "The match begins."
Before Yun Lueying could launch an attack, Qianfeng's figure, like ripples spreading across the sky, vanished from the field after a few flashes of light.
Yun Lueying immediately gripped his guns with both hands in a defensive stance, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings.
"It's that same old trick again."
He had witnessed this elusive stealth ability in team battles before.
The specific reason cannot be analyzed in a short time, but it is nothing more than the effect of some soul skill or soul tool, which is not unheard of.
Yun Lueying scanned the field a few more times, but the empty arena showed no signs of anything unusual, not even a trace of Qianfeng.
"How about we try this move?" he exclaimed softly, and the five spirit rings on his back, perfectly matched, slowly flickered, revealing his peak Soul King strength.
A strong gust of wind suddenly swept outwards from him in all directions across the arena.
Invisibility only conceals your physical form, not makes you invincible and unable to withstand wide-range attacks.
A howling gale swept across the field, but the wind, seemingly unmoved, remained motionless, completely unaffected by its force.
But Yun Lueying wasn't in a hurry; instead, she slowly turned her head. Each time she turned her head, she was changing the direction her ears were facing.
He didn't expect to force Qianfeng out with the gale, but rather used the sound of the wind to determine Qianfeng's location, and then used his keen hearing to judge the direction from which he should attack.
The wind has different speeds and sounds when it blows on an open space and when it passes over obstacles. The simulated soul tool can simulate light, but it cannot simulate the sound of the wind blowing on an open space.
This subtle difference was enough for Cloud Shadow, who possessed the wind attribute, to confirm Thousand Winds' approximate location.
call--
"Here!" Yun Lueying's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he abruptly turned to the side, staring straight ahead. The Azure Mist Spear in his hand was also changed from a defensive stance to an offensive one.
The howling wind told him that the boy hidden in the wind was less than ten meters ahead.
Yun Lueying had located it long ago, but he was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Qianfeng to enter his attack range.
"You can't hide it anymore, get ready to take the hit."
With two spirit rings flashing behind him, Yun Lueying began to channel his spirit power into the Azure Mist Spear in his hand.
This was a full-force attack from a five-ring agility-type Soul King, enhanced by the Azure Mist Spear. Its power was enough to threaten a Soul Emperor, something that Qian Feng, a three-ring Soul Venerable, could not withstand head-on.
If this move hits, it will secure Shrek Academy's victory. Yun Lueying could almost see Shrek's glory beckoning to him.
However, just as he was about to swing the Azure Mist Spear, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, without warning, a gray, round object appeared in mid-air in front of Yun Lueying and flew towards them in a parabolic trajectory.
Yun Lueying paused for a moment, his attack still charging up.
That looks like a... bomb?
