Battle Through the Heavens II: Three Phases of Peerless Power, One Soul and Four Bodies

In the conference room of Zhengtian Academy, the team leader was still somewhat troubled. He really didn't know how to deal with the Sun and Moon Academy team. First of all, the Sun and Moon team used different tactics in every match;

Secondly, there are still three top experts who have not yet appeared: Ma Rulong, the captain of the main team, and Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, the siblings among the pre-selection team members. There is no information about them at all.

Moreover, Sun Moon is extremely skilled at using soul tools, while their own team members have a very low level of understanding of soul tools.

Of course, that's not all the problems. How did Zhengtian Academy somehow make it into the top four? Seriously, why do we suddenly have to work overtime?!

Finally, after much deliberation, he came up with a very crazy idea at the meeting.

"The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team excels in team battles but is weak in individual battles. I suggest we abandon team battles altogether and focus on steady progress in individual battles, going all out in a 2-2-3 formation! What do you think?"

Li Cheng stared at the two rows of team members in front of him, wanting to see their reactions. If the team members strongly objected, there was nothing he could do, because after making it to the semi-finals, his role in the team became very small, so he had to respect the team members' opinions.

Surprisingly, no team member objected; they simply exchanged glances. Luo Ranyu was also somewhat surprised when she heard the plan, because she had actually thought the same thing.

He watched many of the Sun and Moon team's matches, and the results were almost always overwhelming victories. The Sun and Moon team's team fights were practically unbeatable; even top teams like Shrek Academy would struggle. So, knowing they would be at a significant disadvantage in team fights, was it really necessary to gamble on such a slim chance of winning?

The opponent's individual combat ability is relatively weak compared to team battles, while our team has at least four Soul Kings. Although Brother Jin and Luo Jiuxiao are not Soul Kings, they still have the strength to contend with ordinary Soul Kings. For some reason, their aura has changed since they returned, and their levels have also increased. I wonder if they took some kind of elixir and leveled up directly.

Perhaps such a thing does exist. Back then, Xi'er gave away a Red Yan Fruit, which could directly boost a Soul Master or lower level by 3 to 4 levels.

In that case, there's still a good chance of winning a one-on-one duel!

Then, in the 2-2-3 battle, there is a chance if we fight hard, right? So Luo Ranyu expressed her agreement and said, "Teacher, I think we can give it a try! According to my observation, there may be two level 50 Soul Kings among the Sun Moon Team's pre-selection members. This is enough to show that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy not only has a complete personnel configuration this year, but also the combat power of the pre-selection members is extremely high."

At the same level, a typical Soul Master is generally stronger than a typical Soul Master. In team battles, this difference will be magnified several times over. We're not very familiar with Soul Tools to begin with, and trying to dodge the enemy's barrage of attacks and bullets in a team battle is really quite difficult.

That's not even as good as relying on individual combat strength. If we can win the individual matches, then the 2-2-3 match should be no problem either.

After saying that, Ran slowly sat down to see what everyone thought.

Seeing this, everyone fell into deep thought. They weren't stupid; they were well aware of the Sun and Moon team's strength. However, this approach of directly abandoning team battles and focusing solely on the last two matches was indeed novel.

Some people might think that even if they can't win the team battle, they can still go out and try, at least to see what kind of soul skills and soul tools the opponent has, so as to gain an advantage in the subsequent matches.

However, the Sun and Moon team members aren't fools either; they also know how to hide their strength. There are still three of them who haven't made a move yet.

Therefore, Luo Ranyu felt that it would be better not to fight. If a team member was ambushed by the opponent during a team fight, and thus could not participate in the individual matches later, wouldn't that be even more of a loss?

So, the second person to agree was Xue Qianluo. She was aloof and seemed somewhat cold, but in fact, her ideas always coincided with Luo Ranyu's.

"I agree!" Hua Xi'er said casually, sitting in a chair, supporting herself on the sides and swinging her legs. Hua Xi'er simply trusted Luo Ranyu; even though the team competition would mean she wouldn't have a chance to play, she didn't really care.

Soon, everyone agreed. Seeing this, Li Cheng felt relieved and began to discuss the personnel configuration for the individual competition. Unfortunately, at this moment, although he was the team leader, he had nothing left to teach. He didn't know much about the Sun and Moon team, so in the end he could only simply remind everyone of the things to pay attention to in the competition, as well as popularize some common soul tools and how to deal with them.

After a day of rest, Luo Ranyu was full of energy and arrived at the competition venue early.

The huge stadium actually has two venues, but from the qualifying rounds onwards, all matches will be held in the main venue in front of us.

The first team to compete in the semi-finals, which were to advance from four to two, was naturally Shrek Academy.

The team match between Shrek Academy and Di'ao Academy is about to begin. Team members from Zhengtian Academy and Sun Moon Royal Academy have also come to the venue to watch the match. Soon, both teams are standing on the stage.

Luo Ranyu had watched Shrek Academy's previous matches and recognized some of the players standing on the field: Ma Xiaotao (level 67), Dai Yueheng (level 64), and Ling Luochen (level 55), as well as Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. Although one was level 28 and the other level 32, they were not to be underestimated.

The reason they took the stage was firstly because both of them possessed twin martial souls, and secondly because they combined their martial souls into two martial soul fusion skills: one was a control skill that shot out golden beams of light, and the other was called Heaven and Earth Hammer, which they had used in the previous quarterfinal match and possessed extremely strong power and destructive force.

However, there were two other people that Luo Ranyu did not recognize. They seemed to be regular members as well. After all, all seven of Shrek's preliminary members had appeared in previous competitions. The unfamiliar faces that appeared now should be regular members. According to the information on the screen, one of them was named Chen Zifeng, wearing a blood-red robe and holding two blood-red swords.

The other one is named Xixi, a female Soul Master. She is holding a lightning-shaped weapon, which can be regarded as a dagger. Judging from her aura, she may be an agility-based attacker.

In fact, Shrek Academy had two other members on the main team: Gongyang Mo and Yao Haoxuan. However, before participating in the Soul Fighting Tournament, their leader, Xuanzi, the Sea God Pavilion Master, a level 98 Super Douluo with the divine beast bloodline spirit Taotie, led Shrek Academy's main and pre-selection members to attack the evil spirit master, and they fell into the evil spirit master's trap.

After Yao Haoxuan's martial soul was activated, his body became enormous. He was killed in an explosion while protecting his teammates, and Gongyang Mo's legs were also blown off. Therefore, neither of them could participate in the competition.

Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, and Xixi returned to the competition at different times depending on the severity of their injuries, and this semi-final match was the first match after Chen Zifeng and Xixi returned.

At this moment, Shrek Academy has five main players on the field: three strong attackers, one control attacker, and one agile attacker. Therefore, their lineup is still lacking a support or defense-type Soul Master. Although Xiao Xiao and He Cai Tou both have support abilities, it would be more stable to have Huo Yu Hao on the field. Huo Yu Hao can cooperate with Ling Luo Chen to temporarily evolve her Martial Soul into the ultimate ice element. In this case, Ling Luo Chen can even suppress Ma Xiao Tao.
