Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Before we knew it, it was afternoon, and the team battle between the Tianshui team and the Spirit Hall team was about to begin.

"come on!"

Outside the stadium on Papal Mountain, Mu Yang encouraged the seven members of the Tianshui team.

"Victory is certain!"

The girls from the Tianshui team were full of fighting spirit and shouted in unison.

Then, Shui Bing'er waved her hand and led the Tianshui team onto the field.

Before long, the neatly arranged Spirit Hall team and Tianshui team stood facing each other on the field in front of the Papal Palace.

With both teams present, the referee announced loudly, "Both teams, please release your Martial Souls. The match is about to begin. The losing team in this match will be awarded third place in the finals of this Soul Master Competition, while the winning team will advance to tomorrow's championship match."

The next moment, the fourteen members of both teams possessed the beast souls, their weapon souls materialized, and their yellow, purple, and black soul rings bloomed.

Immediately afterwards, both teams adjusted their formations.

On the Tianshui team's side, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were positioned at the front, four strong attackers and agile attackers were in the center of the formation, and Xue Wu, as the team's support, was at the back.

On the Spirit Hall team's side, Fei Yan Yan, who had lost her beautiful hair, stood at the forefront of the battle formation. Behind Yan, Sun Chuantao and Li Kai from the Power Attack type, and Zhang Ping from the Agility Attack type surrounded Xu Yu, Hu Liena, and Xie Yue from the Support type.

Upon seeing the formation of the Spirit Hall team, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but frown.

Without a doubt, Hu Liena is the strongest individual member of the Spirit Hall team, followed by Xie Yue, and then Yan.

As a five-ring offensive Soul King, Yan is perfectly capable of leading the charge.

Hu Liena is a Soul King with a mind control ability. Close combat is her weakness, so it is reasonable for her to be positioned in the center of the team and protected by her teammates.

But Xie Yue's positioning was very problematic. As a powerful offensive Soul King who excels in close combat and has explosive power, and is also the second strongest main force in the team, why did he go to the center of the battle formation?

Could it be...?

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

Shui Bing'er couldn't help but think to herself.

Because she herself had the same experience, Shui Bing'er easily made the connection.

Moreover, she remembered that Mu Yang had said more than once that the Spirit Hall team was very strong, and besides Hu Liena's superb illusion techniques, it was possible that the Spirit Hall team had other trump cards up their sleeves.

After thinking for a moment, Shui Bing'er transmitted her voice to the other six, including Shui Yue'er: "Focus fire on Hu Liena first."

Originally, Shui Bing'er planned to start with the easy tasks and then move on to the difficult ones, using her first and fifth soul skills to restrict Hu Liena and the other two, while Shui Yue'er and her group of six would first eliminate the four four-ring Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall team, thus securing victory.

However, now that Hu Liena and Xie Yue of the Spirit Hall team seem to have a Spirit Fusion Skill, the tactics need to be changed.

Regardless of whether the two had a spirit fusion skill, the entire team focused their attacks on Hu Liena at the start, eliminating the most threatening Hu Liena first.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue are both level 54 Soul Kings. If they have a Soul Fusion Skill and have even used it, their strength might reach the level of the seventh ring. Bingxue Piaoling might not necessarily have an absolute advantage.

After all, although her level 60 soul power was much higher than Hu Liena's and the other two, Xue Wu's soul power level was also much lower than theirs. With one increasing and the other decreasing, even if Bing Xue Piao Ling was stronger than the opponent's martial soul fusion skill, it would definitely be only by a limited margin.

Soon, the preparation time was up, and with the referee's signal, the match officially began.

"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal!"

At the very start, Shui Bing'er's first spirit ring flashed, and three streams of icy blue light surged out, instantly hitting Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena on the opposite side.

In an instant, Fei Yanyan, who was about to charge into the battle formation, and Hu Liena and Xie Yue, who were preparing to unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Skill in the center of the battle formation, immediately felt a chill descend upon them, and then their entire bodies were frozen, with a thick layer of solid ice forming on their skin.

"Fifth Soul Skill: Jade Clone!"

Shui Yue'er's fifth spirit ring shone brightly, and as her spirit power surged, five clones, each possessing 50% of her original strength and capable of using her first to fourth spirit skills, appeared on the field.

Meanwhile, the remaining five members of the Tianshui team, except for the support-type Xue Wu, all activated their fourth or third powerful attack soul skills to focus their attacks on the frozen Hu Liena.

"not good!"

Seeing the Tianshui team focusing their attacks on Hu Liena, the members of the Spirit Hall team immediately realized something was wrong.

Without hesitation, Xu Yu, a support-type character, had his third spirit ring shine, granting Hu Liena a layer of spirit power shield.

Zhang Ping, Sun Chuantao, and Li Kai either activated their attack soul skills to block the concentrated attack of the Tianshui team, or activated their defensive soul skills to stand in front of Hu Liena and act as her flesh and blood shield.

The four knew that Hu Liena was an absolute mainstay of the Spirit Hall team, and if she were eliminated, the Spirit Hall team would have no chance to turn the tide.

Conversely, as long as Hu Liena is still on the field, even if all four of them, the Spirit Hall team, are eliminated, they still have a chance to win.

It can be said that, apart from the factor of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hu Liena's personal strength accounts for 80% of the team's strength, while the other six, including Xie Yue and Yan, can only account for 20% at most.

If we include the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hu Liena, along with Xie Yue as a "supporting character," will account for more than 90% of the team's strength.

Back and forth they went, and seeing that her team's focused fire tactics were showing signs of being blocked by the Spirit Hall team, Shui Yue'er erupted.

"Third Soul Skill, Jade Shadow!"

With the boost from her attribute-enhancing soul skill, Shui Yue'er's aura surged dramatically.

Immediately afterwards, Shui Yue'er's fourth soul ring, which had lasted for ten thousand years, shone brightly, and a surge of water-based energy rippled out. It was foreseeable that Shui Yue'er was rapidly preparing a powerful move for the current stage.

Fourth Soul Skill: Azure Vortex, an area-of-effect soul skill that condenses a rapidly spinning vortex of water blades, dealing dense water blade cutting damage to enemies within the vortex's range.

Furthermore, the center of this water vortex possesses a strong suction force, which can restrict the escape of opponents who are not stronger than oneself and enter the range of the soul skill. The downside is that while the soul skill has a remarkable effect, it requires a relatively long release time.

Shui Yue'er wasn't the only one driving the azure vortex; the five clones she had previously created were also activating this fourth soul skill of ten thousand years.

However, compared to the main body, the five clones made much less noise, but they should not be underestimated.

At the critical moment, Hu Liena, who was restricted by the Icebound Soul Skill, moved.

Well, Hu Liena didn't break free from the control of the Ice-Sealing Soul Skill. Instead, a purple light flashed between her brows, and her external soul bone materialized in her eyes, activating the attached soul bone skill: Heavenly Fox Illusion.

Shui Bing'er's freezing soul skill only restricts the opponent's movements; it cannot restrict mental attacks. After all, it's only the number one soul skill in a century, and its effects cannot cover all aspects. (End of this chapter)
