Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 182 Elephant Armor Team
Gu Qi's martial soul is the Flaming Eagle, which is both a fire-attribute martial soul and a bird-type martial soul.

It should have been an exceptional martial soul, but it just so happened to encounter Shui Bing'er, who was his natural counter.

Possessing the top-tier beast spirit, the Ice Phoenix, not only provides attribute advantage but also absolute suppression at the spirit level.

The phoenix is ​​the king of all birds, while the eagle is just one of the birds of prey. How could these two possibly be on the same level?

If Tie Li's Zhenlong Hammer possesses lightning attributes that are almost at their limit, then Shui Bing'er possesses ice attributes that are almost at their limit.

Before Gu Qi could even launch an attack, the suppression from his martial soul caused him to freeze, and he might not be able to unleash even 50% of his full strength.

When Shui Bing'er released her martial soul, Zhang Xiaohe was the most affected, apart from Gu Qi.

The White Fox Martial Soul possesses the ice attribute, but its ice attribute is vastly different from that of Shui Bing'er.

It's similar to a centurion among soldiers facing a marshal commanding thousands of troops.

Because they understood Gu Qi's martial spirit, they concluded that the vice-captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy could not possibly be their match.

In their eyes, Gu Qi, the Soul Master, was the main combat force of the vice-captain. As long as he was crippled, the team would no longer pose a threat to them.

What happened next was exactly as they had guessed.

Shui Bing'er, who had unleashed her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, suddenly lit up her first Soul Ring.

First Soul Skill: Freeze!
Her instantaneous control-type soul skill has an extremely strong control effect, which is closely related to her high-level ice attribute.

Especially when it landed on Guqi, the elemental advantage and the aura of the Ice Phoenix had a very significant effect on him.

"You should be out of the game," Shui Yue'er's voice rang out.

Her second spirit ring lit up, and several dark blue ice spikes condensed in the air, imbued with extreme cold.

This sudden turn of events left the second team members with no time to provide assistance, and they could only watch helplessly as Gu Qi was eliminated.

It's possible that the referee noticed something was wrong with Gucci and intervened in the match to eliminate him.

Losing a key player has had a serious impact on the morale and strength of the second team.

You can tell from their current state.

The Tianshui team members launched an attack, but faced with their fierce assault, the second team was eliminated in less than five rounds.

"What's going on? You keep losing, do you deserve the title of the number one academy in Heaven Dou?"

"You've already lost three straight. Don't you think that's incredibly embarrassing?"

"Get back home now, don't bother participating in the competition, you're just making a fool of yourself."

A barrage of insults erupted from the stands. As the vice-captains of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they were playing on their home turf in Heaven Dou City, with most of the local residents supporting them, yet they kept losing.

Most viewers don't understand the restraint of martial spirits and teamwork; they value the excitement and outcome of the battles more.

However, neither of these matters has much to do with the vice-captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

In the eyes of many, this match was more like a pure crushing defeat.

Three consecutive losses at the start are a slap in the face to the Heavenly Dou Royal Family.

Sure enough, after returning to the rest room, Zhao Tianhe received instructions that he must win the next match.

Undoubtedly, this meant it was time for Tie Li to make his appearance; the Heavenly Dou Royal Family also needed to save face at this moment.

"Next match, our opponent is Elephant Academy. This time, Dali, you'll be playing. We can't afford to lose again," Zhao Tianhe said with a wry smile. "Okay."

Tie Li nodded, his calm and resolute face giving everyone a lot of confidence.

Zhao Tianhe originally wanted to discuss tactics, but suddenly felt it was unnecessary.

After a few brief words, everyone left the lounge.

"A team on a three-game losing streak? Don't worry, we'll hand you a fourth in no time, hahaha."

As soon as they stepped out of the rest room, they encountered the Elephant Armor Academy team, whose faces were filled with disdain.

They possess the top-tier beast spirit, the Diamond Mammoth, and their team has three four-ring Soul Masters, giving them a significant advantage in Soul Master configuration over their opponents.

Moreover, one of the fourth-ring Soul Masters from the second team was injured by the Tianshui Academy team and was unable to exert his full combat power.

This is also an effect of the tight format of the qualifiers; teams that lack resilience are also more likely to be eliminated.

Hu Yanli, who was walking at the very front of the Elephant Armor Team, originally intended to stand in front of Gu Qi and give him a hard time.

In Hu Yanli's opinion, Gu Qi should be the team captain.

To his surprise, Gu Qi actually stepped aside, and Tie Li slowly walked out.

Facing an opponent who was taller and wider than him, Tie Li remained calm, with a faint aura of soul power emanating from him.

A layer of cold sweat appeared on Hu Yanli's forehead.

Is this... is this the soul power fluctuation of a Soul Master?
He felt immense pressure from Tie Li, as if a small mountain was pressing down on his back.

Only then did he realize that the vice-captain of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was hiding his strength, and the real captain was the young man in front of him.

Tie Li leaned close to his ear and uttered a crisp "Get lost!" which made Hu Yanli unconsciously give way.

The members of the Elephant Armor team wanted to intervene, but Hu Yanli stopped them, and they could only watch helplessly as the team left.

"Captain, didn't we agree to give them a taste of their own medicine? Why did we just let them go?" a member of the Elephant Armor team said.

Hu Yanli wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and was shocked as he recalled the soul power pressure that Tie Li had just released.

“His strength is very high; it’s possible that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is deliberately hiding it.” Hu Yanli guessed that Tie Li’s soul power level might reach level 48, or even level 49.

Even so, Hu Yanli was unwilling to accept the fact that Tie Li's soul power level had broken through level fifty.

If he really is a Soul King... Impossible, absolutely impossible. Grandpa said that apart from the three monsters of the Spirit Hall, no other team could possibly have a Soul King.

Even if the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team has Soul Kings, they should be placed in the main team, not the vice team. Unless the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has trained multiple Soul Kings, but is that even possible?
Having figured this out, Hu Yanli felt much less pressure. As long as it wasn't a Soul King, he was confident of winning.

"It's alright, we'll teach them a lesson once we get to the ring," Hu Yanli said confidently.

He had absorbed a head soul bone, and he was absolutely confident that he could lead his team into the next round of the preliminary competition. That was Hu Yanli's own opinion.

Tie Li led his team out of the Great Soul Arena. At this moment, Tuo Yu approached Tie Li and spoke.

"Boss, the Elephant Team we're facing in the next round seems really strong. Should we come up with some tactics to deal with them?"

"You guys rest for the next match, I'll take care of it." Tie Li said calmly, but it sent a chill down everyone's spine. Was it arrogance or absolute confidence in his own strength?
