Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 84 King Buwei's Team

Good times always fly by, and the three-day holiday was spent in joy.

As night fell, Team Two officially entered the Arena. Because it was nighttime, the Arena was bustling with people.

Team leader Ling Xu led everyone in registering their Soul Fighting team, which was named "Heavenly Battle Team Two," a concise and fitting name. After registering their team and signing up for the competition, the group went to the rest area to wait.

"I'm entrusting the Soul Battles to you seven for the next few days. Unless there are special circumstances, we won't be participating. As the captain, I have only one requirement for you: no matter how well you coordinate or how strong the enemy is, you must win every Soul Battle. Can you do that?" Lin Yizhang said to the seven people sitting opposite Lin Yan.

"Yes!" Lin Yan, Xiao Dong, and the other six shouted in unison.

"Very good. We'll put your progress since joining Team Two into practice and see what you've learned. We'll also be watching your battles. We look forward to your performance," Lin Yizhang said with a smile.

After waiting for about half an hour, the broadcast finally called the second team to the Soul Battle Arena. Since it was a battle for newcomers, the arena they were assigned to was not the main Soul Battle Arena, but a branch arena, where the number of spectators was far less than that of the main arena.

Team Two's opponent is "King Buwei Team," a team with a very imposing name. Regardless of the team's actual strength, their powerful name alone has already attracted the attention of many viewers.

After the players from both sides took to the field, the referee began the battle.

"Both teams release their spirit rings!" The referee shouted, and the audience immediately cheered, as the spectacular scene of releasing spirit rings was something the audience had been looking forward to seeing.

In an instant, all 40 spirit rings on the battle stage lit up simultaneously, with white, yellow, and purple spirit rings reflecting each other, and the cheers from the audience instantly rose by countless decibels.

The seven members of the "Tian Dou Second Team"—Lin Yan, Xiao Dong, Lü Wen, Luo Jingting, Lin Yirong, Huang Shenyu, and Hu Weixia—all have two yellow and one purple soul rings, making them all Soul Masters.

Of the seven members of the "King Buwei Team," only five are Soul Masters, while the remaining two are Great Soul Masters. Moreover, among the five Soul Masters, two have a white-yellow-yellow combination of Soul Rings, two have a white-yellow-purple combination, and only one has the optimal Soul Ring combination.

Such Soul Master teams are the most common in the Soul Master world. Their first Soul Ring is usually obtained by teachers from junior Soul Master academies leading them to the nationally-owned Soul Beast Forest. Moreover, it is usually one teacher leading several students to hunt Souls. Therefore, the age of their first Soul Ring is basically no more than a hundred years.

The difference in spirit quality between the two teams is also huge. All seven members of the "Heavenly Dou Team Two" have spirit quality of high level or above, while only the captain of the "King Buwei Team" has a good spirit quality of Blazing Bird. The spirit quality of the rest of the team members is not very good.

The difference in strength between the two sides was immediately apparent after they released their martial souls and soul rings. Even those in the audience who were not soul masters could see the difference in strength between the two teams.

Many viewers exclaimed, "We should have bet on it! It was obvious that 'Team Tiandou 2' was going to win!"

Lin Yizhang ignored the shouting audience and focused on carefully observing the specific situation of the second team's opponents.

After comparing the relaxed expressions of Xiao Dong and his seven companions with the fearless demeanor of the "King Buwei Team," Lin Yizhang knew that the second team could not win quickly.

In Lin Yizhang's view, the captain of the "King Buwei Team," a Soul Master with the best Soul Ring ratio and the ability to fly as a Blazing Bird Martial Soul, would be the most troublesome opponent for Team Two. If it weren't for Lin Yan, another Soul Master who could also fly, Team Two might have ended the Soul Battle in a draw.

The battle of spirits began quickly. Although the members of the second team did not take their opponents seriously, they were all eager to defeat them and win. Therefore, they all used their spirit skills immediately.

"First Soul Skill, Swift Assault; Second Soul Skill, Vajra Peck!" Lin Yan immediately flew into the sky and launched an attack on the Blazing Bird Soul Master who had also taken to the air.

"First Soul Skill, Demonic Vine Binding!" Lin Yirong unleashed her first soul skill, as black vines stretched out, attempting to control the enemy.

"First Soul Skill, Crossbow Piercing Heart!" Huang Shenyu released a series of crossbow bolts, shooting them at an opponent in front of him.

"Just because the Black Tiger isn't roaring doesn't mean you think I'm a pushover! First Soul Awakening, Black Tiger's Wrath!" Hu Weixia, this chuunibyou (delusional) guy, showed off his muscles. His muscles bulged, transforming him into a muscular man. At the same time, a tiger's roar resounded, making the audience's ears ache.

"First Soul Skill: White Light Increases Power. Second Soul Skill: Green Light Decreases Power. Third Soul Skill: White Light Increases Soul Power." Luo Jingting also activated her three Soul Skills to provide support. Her Martial Soul, the White-Green Scepter, has two support methods: one is to increase the power of teammates with white light, and the other is to weaken enemies with green light.

Xiao used his hands to lift the mountain-suppressing stone tablet and charge towards the enemy's rear ranks.

Lu Wen held the Mountain and River Cauldron in his palm, protecting Luo Jingting.

Faced with the fierce attack from the second team, the seven members of the "King Buwei Team" also used their soul skills to defend themselves.

Instantly, the soul skills clashed on the arena, producing a series of explosive sounds. Some spectators trembled with fear at the sheer force of the noise, while others cheered loudly with their eyes closed...

After a series of clashes, the two Great Soul Masters of the "King Buwei Team" were knocked off the stage. Of the remaining five, apart from the Blazing Bird Soul Master who fought against Lin Yan who was unharmed, the other four were injured to varying degrees.

After a brief exchange of soul skills, the two teams immediately rushed forward to fight again.

During the battle, the members of the second team showed no coordination whatsoever, each of them displaying their own strength to the fullest.

Even without coordination, Lin Yan and his team were still dominating the "King Buwei Team". After five minutes of the battle, the "King Buwei Team" was showing signs of defeat, and even the Flaming Bird Soul Master who was fighting Lin Yan in the sky was now being suppressed by Lin Yan.

Judging from the battle situation, it was only a matter of time before the "King Buwei Team" was defeated. However, Lin Yizhang, who had been watching the battle between the Blazing Bird Soul Master and Lin Yan, felt that the Blazing Bird Soul Master was deliberately showing weakness to Lin Yan.

Although he was constantly under the negative amplification effect of Luo Jingting, his combat experience was clearly very rich. He was always able to dodge Lin Yan's attacks at crucial moments with minimal soul power consumption, and for those attacks that he couldn't dodge, he would use non-vital points to withstand them.

Therefore, although he looked disheveled, he shouldn't have been suppressed by Lin Yan so quickly under normal circumstances. Lin Yizhang guessed that his purpose was to feign weakness to Lin Yan and then find an opportunity to ambush Luo Jingting or someone else.
