Ning Fengzhi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Your Majesty, you're only half right. I've observed closely. Today's match, Shrek Academy is clearly different."
"You're right."
"Their strength seems to have improved, which should be the result of continuous practical experience and self-cultivation."
"But even so, they shouldn't have gained such a huge advantage in the current situation."
"Only a few people who aren't considered the main force have appeared, and they've already defeated five members of Thunderclap Academy, including two Soul Masters above the fortieth rank."
"This is not just about strength."
"If we're talking about pure strength, Shrek Academy couldn't possibly achieve this."
"Oh?" Emperor Xueye looked at Ning Fengzhi with some surprise, "Sect Master Ning, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Sect Master Ning means tactics."
The Platinum Bishop Salas spoke from the side: "Indeed, Shrek Academy's strength is indeed superior to Thunderclap Academy."
"But it would never be to this extent. The reason they were able to gain such an advantage is entirely due to the order of the team members' appearance and tactics, which held an overwhelming advantage."
"Superficially, the martial spirits of both sides don't seem to have any counter-effect, but in reality, Shrek Academy has, through various means, forced its opponents to be countered by themselves."
"And it's a complete counter."
"The application of tactics and the clever arrangement of the team members who appeared created the current situation."
"Not only is there Ye Fan, this powerful combat force, but also powerful tactics."
Emperor Xueye's gaze focused, and he gave Ning Fengzhi a questioning look.
Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Bishop Salas is right. It's because of tactics."
Emperor Xueye asked curiously, "In the previous matches, it didn't seem like Shrek Academy's tactics were particularly outstanding."
"According to you, this is clearly not a coincidence."
Salas smiled faintly. "Of course, it's not a coincidence. With that person at Shrek Academy, how could it be a coincidence?"
"It seems that the Pope's choice was the right one. This person's research on martial souls is truly profound."
Emperor Xueye frowned. "Bishop Salas, I don't quite understand what you're saying."
Salas smiled slightly, stood up, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something else to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
"As for what I'm talking about, Sect Master Ning knows perfectly well. You can ask him."
"After speaking, he didn't wait for Emperor Xueye to respond and left the VIP席 with a few guards.
A trace of anger flashed in Emperor Xueye's eyes, and a voice only he and Ning Fengzhi could hear escaped from his lips, "This Salas is getting more and more arrogant. Sect Master Ning, what exactly did he mean?"
Ning Fengzhi said, "The person he mentioned is Tang San's teacher, someone with low soul power, only around level thirty or forty."
"This person is a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"In terms of research on martial souls, I have to concede defeat. Those who know him call him Master."
"Master?" Emperor Xueye had obviously heard of this name before,
and a thoughtful expression immediately appeared on his face.
"Sect Master Ning, what's your assessment of this Master?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and whispered something in his ear.
Emperor Xueye's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.
In that instant,
the aura erupting from him disappeared as quickly as it came.
Although it was only a moment,
Bone Douluo Gu Rong, who was sitting on the other side of Ning Fengzhi, pressed a hand on Ning Fengzhi's shoulder, transmitting a wisp of soul power.
The aura that erupted from Emperor Xueye was directed entirely forward,
and no one else noticed it, except for Ning Fengzhi beside him.
His eyes regained their composure, and Emperor Xueye's expression returned to normal. The momentary burst of kingly aura vanished.
"Sect Master Ning, is what you said true?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded affirmatively.
"Although he is called a waste within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"But in my opinion, he is more important than the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Emperor Xueye took a deep breath, "After the promotion matches are over, I'll trouble Sect Master Ning to introduce me to this Master."
What Ning Fengzhi had said to Emperor Xueye just now was,
He who obtains Master, obtains the world.
Ning Fengzhi sighed softly, "If Master were so easily recruited, he should be in the Spirit Hall now."
"However, Your Majesty can give it a try."
Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi exchanged a look, then sighed heavily.
"I understand."
Lei Dong, a forty-third-ranked control-type battle spirit master, his martial soul: Thunder Spider.
As the most powerful control-type soul master in the Thunderclap Academy team,
although his overall strength was slightly inferior to the captain's, his power was still extremely formidable.
Martial Soul Avatar.
A cracking sound echoed from Lei Dong's body,
Eight bolts of lightning erupted simultaneously from behind him, forming appendages like a spider's legs.
Aside from these eight Thunder Spider legs, there were no other obvious changes to his body.
Two yellow and two purple spirit rings displayed his formidable strength.
Tang San himself had a spirit ring that also came from a spider, and his only spirit bone was also...
With the referee's announcement of the match's start, Lei Dong raised both hands from his sides and pressed them downwards.
His third spirit ring immediately lit up.
The eight electric legs behind him simultaneously pierced into the ground. Circular blue lightning emanated from his palms,
not directed towards Xiao Wu, but directly injected into the ground.
The blue spread, expanding rapidly outwards in a web-like pattern.
The bright blue light net expanded at an astonishing speed.
Xiao Wu watched her opponent carefully, but Lei Dong had closed his eyes,
evidently not wanting to be interrupted by Xiao Wu's Charm skill.
Xiao Wu's feet moved lightly, circling the outer edge without making a sound.
Lei Dong's body, however, constantly adjusted its facing to match her movements.
He was blindfolded, and Xiao Wu's movements were very light.
The fact that he could accurately judge Xiao Wu's position was undoubtedly due to the effect of his soul skill.
The blue light net was like his eyes, controlling everything around him.
The arena was vast.
Lei Dong's light net spread out to a diameter of twenty meters before stopping.
This was clearly not enough to cover the entire arena.
But it was enough to maintain the area.
After the light net took shape, he began to advance towards Xiao Wu, step by step.
Xiao Wu started to accelerate.
When she saw Lei Dong approaching her, she immediately began to run around the outer edge of the arena,
trying to put as much distance as possible between herself and Lei Dong.
Her approach was simple: don't seek achievement, just avoid mistakes.
Maintaining a third soul skill requires the consumption of soul power.
However, Lei Dong clearly didn't intend to give Xiao Wu the same opportunity as the previous match. After pressing forward a few steps, he suddenly stopped. His hands, which had been pressing on the ground, flipped over, palms up, and his arms rose simultaneously.
A strange scene appeared.
The blue light net on the ground rose with the lifting of his arms, actually floating into the air.
Lei Dong suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, The blue light net floated out, chasing after Xiao Wu's body.
Xiao Wu's speed was very fast, this was beyond doubt.
But that was, after all, an attack range with a diameter of twenty meters.
The moment Lei Dong opened his eyes, he seized the moment when Xiao Wu landed, His aura directly locked onto her body.
The blue light net spun in the air, drifting downwards rapidly to envelop the area where Xiao Wu was.
Jumping, Instant Transmission, Xiao Wu unleashed her speed to its fullest.
She hoped to escape her opponent's attack.
In her calculations,
she could completely escape the attack range before the light net caught up to her.
However, Xiao Wu soon realized something was wrong.
As the light net got closer and closer,
she clearly felt a pulling force tugging at her body, even using Instant Transmission couldn't completely escape.
After all, Xiao Wu had already participated in two matches, the remaining soul power in her body wasn't much, and she couldn't use Instant Transmission consecutively.
When the blue light web exerted a pulling force on her body, not only was her movement slowed, but the speed at which the blue light web descended also increased dramatically.
He raised his hands, and from Lei Dong's palms, two strands of blue light silk shot out.
His first spirit ring shone.
The two light silks each lashed out towards Xiao Wu's body from different directions.
The timing was perfect, right in the path Xiao Wu had to take, and at the moment when Xiao Wu had just completed an Instant Transmission, and her forward momentum couldn't be sustained.
The control-type Soul Masters' grasp of the battlefield situation, was indeed not comparable to that of the attack-type Soul Masters.
From the current situation, it was clear that Lei Dong's combat experience and grasp of the battle far surpassed his previous teammate from Thunderclap Academy.
What to do? Xiao Wu was now facing a dilemma.
Facing the two whipping Thunder Silk, Xiao Wu's potential exploded.
Her body leaped again, and the Thunder Silk followed,
chasing after her slender figure.
In mid-air, Xiao Wu's body suddenly bent,
with her waist as the center,
performing a movement almost impossible for a human body,
and she actually dodged the Thunder Silk with only a few inches to spare.
At this moment, the Thunder Web above had already descended.
Xiao Wu's body hadn't landed yet, and it looked like she couldn't dodge.
But at this moment,
Xiao Wu's head snapped back,
her long Scorpion Braid lashing against the ground.
Using that bit of rebound force, she sent her body out several more meters.
This delayed the time she would be enveloped by the Thunder Web.
And this bit of time happened to be enough for her body to land on the ground after flipping over.
Her arms braced against the ground, and she arched her back.
But this time,
Xiao Wu wasn't dodging outwards.
Her body was like a cannonball, directly charging towards the Thunder Web.
Her legs were stretched straight, and at this moment, she was like an arrow released from a bow. Surprisingly, the moment Xiao Wu launched her body, her body was perfectly perpendicular to the Thunder Web.
The position she chose to pass through was also precisely a slightly larger gap in the Thunder Web.
With a hissing sound, Xiao Wu's body passed through,
and she actually went right through the Thunder Web, but a series of blue electric lights also lit up on her body.
At this moment, Xiao Wu was in the air, and Lei Dong's third soul skill had disappeared.
It was precisely the awkward moment when the old force had just gone and the new force had not yet arisen.
If Xiao Wu was in her prime, she might have been able to seize this opportunity to quickly approach her opponent and win with a single blow.
In reality, she couldn't do anything.
Even her body was falling towards the ground like a free fall.
The Thunder Net had successfully passed through, and she had suffered the least amount of damage.
However, the lightning effect attached to the Thunder Net still caused Xiao Wu, whose soul power was insufficient, to be completely paralyzed, her delicate body trembling violently.
She was already unable to control herself, let alone seize the opportunity to launch an attack.
Lei Dong took a deep breath.
Seeing the way Xiao Wu's body was falling, he naturally knew it was his Thunder Net that had caused it. After catching his breath, two strands of Thunder Silk spurted out from his palm again,
wrapping towards Xiao Wu's body.
As long as he could completely paralyze his opponent with Thunder Silk, he would win this match.
He landed, then bounced. Lei Dong's calculations were good,
but Xiao Wu gave an entirely different answer.
Just as her body was about to hit the ground,
the feeling of paralysis finally wore off. She slammed her hands on the ground,
activating her Waist Bow skill again. Her body bounced up smoothly,
just clearing the two strands of Thunder Silk, and without hesitation, she pounced directly towards Lei Dong.
Lei Dong was shocked. How could this be?
The paralysis effect of the Thunder Net shouldn't have been so short.
Yes, Lei Dong's third soul skill's restrictive ability was indeed very strong,
but don't forget, when Xiao Wu passed through his Thunder Net earlier, she chose the weakest spot.
And at that time, Lei Dong hadn't anticipated her movements at all, naturally unable to unleash his soul power fully.
The larger the area covered, the smaller the attack power within a certain range.
Even though it was a thunder attribute martial soul, it still couldn't transcend the truth.
It was precisely because of this,
that Xiao Wu endured far less thunder attack than Lei Dong had judged, and precisely because of this, she was able to spring up again the instant before her body hit the ground.
Precise judgment, that's the explanation the discerning observers gave.
In reality, though Xiao Wu had done some simple calculations, she was secretly thinking she'd gotten lucky to achieve this.
The distance between them was rapidly closing.
Every time Xiao Wu's body touched the ground, her direction would change in a bizarre manner. Even in mid-air, her boneless body could perform all sorts of inhumanly flexible movements to avoid the attacks of the Thunder Silk.
Looking at the approaching Xiao Wu, Lei Dong's eyes clearly showed a hint of panic.
Anyone who had watched the Shrek Academy's matches wouldn't forget the fate of the soul masters who had been gotten close to by Xiao Wu.
Lei Dong was naturally no exception.
With no other choice, the fourth soul ring on Lei Dong finally lit up.
At this point, it was too late to set up a Thunder Net.
The only thing he could think of that could defeat his opponent immediately was this fourth soul skill.
Intense blue light burst forth from Lei Dong's arms.
The eight blue legs on his back sprang up, and eight bolts of lightning shot out,
merging with the lightning released from his arms.
A three-meter-diameter ring, as thick as an arm, appeared in front of Lei Dong.
This was Lei Dong's fourth soul skill, the God-Locking Ring.
With a flash of blue light, Xiao Wu's bizarre leaping figure immediately stopped.
Her entire body was completely paralyzed.
The three-meter-diameter Lock God Ring had shrunk to the thickness of her waist,
firmly constricting Xiao Wu's body.
Streaks of blue lightning danced around Xiao Wu's body.
But a golden light burst forth from Xiao Wu's body.
Fourth soul skill, Invincible Golden Body.
