Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 165 Arena Match: Divine Skill

Before long, the first group's matches ended, and the second group's teams took to the stage.

Following the entrance passage and facing the soul-guided beams projected from the dome of the Great Soul Arena, amidst the cheers of the audience, Mu Yang led the six main members of the Blazing Fire Team onto the central competition stage.

The battle between Blazing Fire Academy and Divine Wind Academy was fierce, with both teams boasting five-ring Soul King level participants. It would be unreasonable for the match not to take place on the most eye-catching central arena.

VIP seating.

"Dean Huo, I have a question. Would you mind telling me?"

Ning Fengzhi glanced at the seven members of the Blazing Fire Team who had stepped onto the central competition stage and asked Huo Lie, who was two seats away.

"Sect Leader Ning, please ask. I will naturally not hide anything that I can tell you."

Huo Lie said with a smile.

"Dean Huo, I'm curious, since we're both five-ring Soul Masters, why is the captain of the Blazing Fire Team Mu Yang, a Food-type Soul Master, instead of Huo Wushuang, a Power-type Soul Master, or Huo Wu, a Control-type Soul Master?"

Ning Fengzhi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin, Emperor Xue Ye, Dugu Bo, and even most of the VIPs in the VIP section turned their attention to Huo Lie.

Among them, Qian Renxue was the most curious.

They couldn't understand why the Blazing Fire Team would appoint Mu Yang, a food-type Soul Master, as the team captain.

"Haha~, the team captain position was elected by these young people; the academy didn't interfere."

Huo Lie chuckled, not directly stating that Mu Yang had taken the position of team captain based on his own martial prowess.

Since the people present weren't his own people, Huo Lie had no intention of revealing Mu Yang's strength, lest it attract more malice if word got out.

In fact, if it weren't for his own advancement to level 95 Title Douluo, and the fact that his strength was mostly above level 96 Title Douluo thanks to his profound techniques and the advantage of his soul core, and that Mu Xiyue and Shui Yanyu had also successively become nine-ring Title Douluo, Huo Lie wouldn't have planned to let Mu Yang, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang participate in the Soul Master Competition.

Similarly, Shui Yanyu had also had this idea.

After all, achieving excellent results in the Soul Master Competition wouldn't bring much substantial help to the Elemental Academy.

A talented soul master who is willing to join the Elemental Academy will not refuse to come because the academy has failed to achieve higher results, and a talented soul master who is not willing to join the Elemental Academy will not choose to join the Elemental Academy because the academy has achieved excellent results.

It's already at the ceiling level, so temporary good or bad times won't make much of a difference.

If Mu Yang and others participate in the Soul Master Competition, they will inevitably attract the malice of others. The assassination attempt planned by the Heavenly Soul Temple the other day perfectly illustrates this point.

However, given that the academy had not won the Soul Master Competition for a long time, and considering that young people love to join in the fun and have their own considerable strength, Huo Lie and Shui Yanyu ultimately decided to let Mu Yang, Shui Bing'er, and others participate in this year's Soul Master Competition.

Three Title Douluos, and they are even neutral Title Douluos. As long as we are careful and don't let them take advantage of us, we should be able to protect a few juniors, if not more.

It's not that geniuses in the world of Soul Masters haven't died from assassination, but most of these dead geniuses were just talented Soul Masters from commoner backgrounds.

Before resorting to underhanded tactics against a genius with an extraordinary background, you should consider whether you can withstand the repercussions afterward.

In this respect, Salas, whose career has ended, has set a good example for the world.

With Salas as a role model, the mortality rate of genius soul masters on the mainland should be lower in the coming years.

As for why Salas dared to send people to assassinate Mu Yang and his companion even though he knew that there were three Douluo behind them?

Perhaps Salas thought that as long as they did things cleanly and didn't get caught, Blazing Fire Academy and Heavenly Water Academy wouldn't dare to confront Spirit Hall head-on.

On the central arena.

With both teams ready, the referee announced loudly: "Sixth round of the qualifiers, Blazing Fire Academy versus Divine Wind Academy. Both teams bow and release their martial spirits. The match will officially begin in one minute."

After the two teams bowed, their soul power shone brightly, their beast souls possessed them, and their weapon souls materialized. Yellow, purple, and black soul rings shone on the arena.

The audience could judge the strength of the two teams simply by looking at the number and color of the spirit rings.

The Blazing Fire Team has three Soul Kings and four Soul Masters, totaling thirty-one Soul Rings, while the Divine Wind Team has one Soul King and six Soul Masters, totaling twenty-nine Soul Rings.

Furthermore, the Divine Wind Team not only lags behind the Blazing Fire Team in the number of spirit rings, but also in the age of their spirit rings.

Mu Yang, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang of the Blazing Fire Team all possess the fourth and fifth soul rings, which are ten thousand years old.

Furthermore, this was only because Mu Yang disguised the color of his spirit rings; otherwise, the Blazing Fire Team would have seven ten-thousand-year spirit rings.

In contrast, the Divine Wind Team only has Feng Xiaotian as a five-ring Soul King. Although the age of his fourth Soul Ring exceeds the limit of the usual best combination, due to the lack of effective means to enhance his spiritual power, the age of Feng Xiaotian's fourth Soul Ring has not reached ten thousand years. Its color is only purple with black, which is still some distance from ten thousand years.

However, what puzzled the audience was that the Blazing Fire team's battle formation was very strange.

It's one thing for the food-type Soul Master and two support members in the team to stand at the back of the battle formation, near the edge of the arena, but why are the three Soul Masters who are both strong attack-type and agility attack-type also positioned at the back of the battle formation, while the control-type Soul Master in the team is left alone at the front of the battle formation, more than ten meters away from the other six people?

Seeing the Blazing Fire Team's battle formation, Feng Xiaotian thought to himself, "That's a true friend," and felt boundless gratitude towards Mu Yang.

Feng Xiaotian: This round is in the bag!

At this moment, Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but imagine the wonderful life he would have with the goddess in the future, and even started thinking about what to name their child.

"The match begins!"

A minute passed quickly, and after announcing the start of the match, the referee quickly stepped off the stage, handing the arena over to the two teams.

"Go for it, Fire Dancer! You're the one!"

At the very start of the show, cheerleader captain Mu Yang gave Huo Wu a command, then turned around and shielded Huo Wushuang and the other four members in front of her.

"Third Soul Skill: Resist Fire Ring!"

Ignoring Mu Yang's boastful words, Huo Wu's gaze sharpened as she looked at the Divine Wind Team. Her third soul ring shone brightly, and as her soul power surged, a dazzling ring of flames erupted instantly.

The third soul skill, Fire Resistance Ring, has no offensive power, but it can knock back all opponents within the range of the Fire Resistance Ring a certain distance. The specific knockback distance and how to distinguish friend from foe depend on the user's strength and control.

The Soul Skill "Resisting Fire Ring" covers an area of ​​60-70 meters in diameter and 3 meters in height, while the area of ​​the Soul Master Competition arena...

nmmp~, this move, on a competition arena with a diameter of only thirty meters, can be described as a map-wide attack.
