Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

Before entering the Great Soul Arena, the students all put on their own masks, including Meng Yiran, who had just entered the academy. Her mask was something she bought when she went shopping in Soto City with Oscar.

Upon arriving at the Great Soul Arena, Flander first had the eleven students register as a team.

The team name was decided as Hydra Squad.

After the team registration was completed, Flander asked Chen Feng:

"Who are you planning to send to this team battle?"

“First of all, Brother Dai is obviously out of the question. He’s already a Soul Master, and if he were to team up with us, we would have to face a level 40 team,” Chen Feng said.

Dai Mubai shrugged; he had expected this outcome.

"The other two support players shouldn't participate either; our tactics this time don't require support." Chen Feng eliminated two more people.

Oscar didn't care, and Ning Rongrong didn't say anything either.

"Finally, there's Zhu Qing. You weren't able to contribute to our tactics this time, so you should rest too," Chen Feng said to Zhu Zhu Qing.

"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

"The rest of you will join me in this team battle," Chen Feng said.

They were lucky; among the silver-level fighting teams in the Silver Soul Arena, there was exactly one level 30 team.

So their opponents were quickly decided, but the Silver Soul Team was not in the arena at the moment, so they needed to be notified to come.

After the opponents were assigned, Chen Feng gathered everyone to start planning tactics. He and the participants gathered together and discussed the plan.

"Is it really that simple?" Xiao Wu asked in surprise.

“Truly effective tactics never need to be complicated; they just need to be effective,” Chen Feng said.

"Okay, let's give it a try."

While Chen Feng was arranging tactics, the Great Battle Arena had already opened the game for this team battle.

The news that a newly registered bronze-level fighting spirit team was going to challenge the only level 30 silver-level fighting spirit team in the Grand Arena spread like wildfire.

When people learned through inquiries that most of the Soul Masters in this new team were in their early thirties, and some were even in their twenties, the odds at the opening suddenly became disparate.

Chapter 134 Flash Strike

The betting area of ​​the Silves Grand Arena.

At this point, two betting points have been opened: one for Team Hydra and the other for their opponent, Team Kelin.

The soul power levels of the two teams have been listed. One team is a mix of level 20 Great Soul Masters and level 30 Soul Venerables, and the Soul Venerables are all just over level 30.

On the other side, however, all of them were level 30 Soul Masters, and their Soul Power was mostly above level 35, with the highest-ranking captain even reaching level 39.

Judging from their soul power levels, the difference in strength between the two teams is obvious.

Furthermore, one team was newly formed and had no team battle record, while the other team was already the Silver Soul Team, which could be described as having experienced countless battles.

Such a disparity led most people to believe that Team Kailin would definitely win.

As a result, a long line had formed in front of the Kelin team's betting booth, while the Hydra team's betting booth was almost deserted.

Even the few people who bet on Team Hydra don't actually believe the team can win; they're just speculating.

This is why Hydra's winning percentage has reached 1 to 10, and it continues to rise.

Just as the staff at the Hydra team's betting point were getting drowsy from the lack of customers, a sudden voice startled them awake.

"I'm betting on Team Hydra to win, 50,000 gold soul coins."

"What did you say? How much to bet?" The staff member sat up abruptly and asked hurriedly.

“Fifty thousand gold soul coins, bet on Hydra team to win, is there a problem?” Flander repeated his words.

"No, no problem, but are you sure?" The staff member swallowed and confirmed again.

"Okay, swipe the card for me." Flander took out several gold coin prepaid cards and handed them to the staff member, asking him to place his bets.

Of course, not all of this money was his; it also included the master's and other teachers' private savings, as well as the pocket money of several students, totaling 30,000.

As for the other 20,000, it was Liu Erlong who took it out.

Chen Feng and Ning Rongrong, the two big spenders, only invested a small amount, just as a token gesture, as did Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and Dai Mubai.

One reason is that they are all quite wealthy and don't really need to make money through gambling.

On the other hand, if they invest too much money, it will definitely attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, and some people will definitely realize something is wrong and follow suit, which will inevitably cause the odds of Hydra to plummet.

After all, the five of them could come up with a combined amount of several hundred thousand gold soul coins.

Putting aside Chen Feng and Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, as the only granddaughter of the Dragon and Snake Gods, naturally has a considerable amount of disposable funds.

After Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing voluntarily gave up the fight and reconciled with their respective older brothers and sisters, their treatment in the family was excellent, a world of difference compared to their plight as stray dogs in the original novel.

So they are very rich, and they can go home to get money anytime.

After successfully placing his bets on his team, Flander leisurely returned to the spectator area.

At this moment, the Hydra team had already finalized their tactics, and the team battle was about to begin.

The seven members of the Hydra team walked towards the entrance of the Soul Arena. On the way, Chen Feng suddenly spoke up:

"Xiao Wu, you can use close combat this time."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly brightened. "Then just you wait and see, I guarantee I'll take them down."

Ma Hongjun asked in confusion:

"Isn't Xiao Wu an archer? How can she fight in melee?"

"I only know some fighting techniques. They're good for beating weak opponents, but they're not enough to deal with strong enemies," Chen Feng explained.

“Oh~” Ma Hongjun nodded. “No wonder Xiao Wu used to always like to flash and jump into the enemy’s face. So that’s why.”

Xiao Wu punched him in anger, "What's wrong with flashing into someone's face? Let's practice another day."

Ma Hongjun shook his head. "If I don't practice now, I'll wait until I can fly."

"You think you can beat me just because you can fly?" Xiao Wu raised her eyebrows. "I'm a marksman too, and I can even use Flash."

"It seems so. Your soul skill is too overpowered." Ma Hongjun scratched his face, realizing that even if he could fly, he probably wouldn't be a match for Xiao Wu.

Moreover, he now knows that Xiao Wu's close combat ability is probably quite good, and if Xiao Wu manages to teleport close to him, he'll be finished.

So Ma Hongjun laughed it off and brushed the topic aside.

When Team Hydra arrived at the Soul Arena, Team Kelin also appeared on the opposite side.

After the host announced the entry of both sides and shouted "Ready!", both teams released their martial spirits.

On the Hydra team's side, Chen Feng, Xiao Wu, Meng Yiran, and Gu Yueling were in the front row, while Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Bai Chenxiang were in the back row, forming a 4+3 formation.

As soon as the host announced the start, the four front-row members of Team Hydra launched an attack on Team Kelin.

Team Kailin was not to be outdone, with five melee-type Soul Masters stepping forward, while a crowd control and a support player also began preparing to unleash their Soul Skills.

But at that moment, Tang San's drooping hands trembled rapidly several times, and many small objects flew into the sky behind him.

The next moment, the Kelin team and the audience in the surrounding stands saw a dazzling light, as if a sun had appeared in the Great Soul Arena.

"Ah! My eyes!"

"What the hell is that?!"

"My eyes are blinded, damn it!"

“＆%￥@......”

......

Not only the Kailin team, but even the audience was affected, and they hurled insults at each other.

The seven members of Team Hydra, who were facing away from the flash, only felt their surroundings being illuminated for a moment before their vision quickly returned, and were not greatly affected.

Faced with a group of opponents who were temporarily blind, Chen Feng and his companions seized the opportunity without hesitation and took advantage of their vulnerability in a righteous manner.

In just a few seconds, all five vanguards of the Kailin team were knocked unconscious.

Xiao Wu then teleported directly to the control master of the Kailin team, wrapped her scorpion braid around him, and took him away with a heavy slam.

When the support Soul Master of the Kailin team finally regained his vision, he found himself all alone, surrounded by the seven members of the opposing team, who were giving him a strong look.

The support Soul Master, whose vision was still blurry, was on the verge of tears and had no choice but to surrender.

Thus, Hydra team achieved a complete victory in their first team battle since its formation.

But the audience wasn't buying it. They had spent money to buy tickets for the Grand Arena, hoping to enjoy a fierce battle, but instead they were blinded by the sheer spectacle right from the start.

By the time they regained their vision, the battle was already over. In other words, after buying tickets for the battle arena, they not only didn't see a wonderful battle performance, but also suffered from blinding light, which naturally made them quite dissatisfied.

The audience in the stands started to grumble. Some cursed the Hydra team for using despicable tactics, some cursed the Kelin team for being too weak, and others cursed the Grand Arena for deliberately ripping people off.

Many of the people in the latter two groups had bet on the Kailin team to win, and those who suffered losses were hurling extremely harsh insults.

Shouts like "Damn it, give me my money back!" were constantly heard.

"What, what should we do?" On the Soul Battle Stage, Meng Yiran was at a loss amidst the complaints around her.

Chen Feng, however, said nonchalantly:

"What's there to be afraid of? Getting scolded won't hurt us. Let's go."

In his past life, when he used dirty tricks in video games, it was common for people to insult his family and genealogy.

Compared to the Zaunites who had faced him in lane, these viewers were practically mild-mannered and completely non-aggressive.

Therefore, Chen Feng didn't care at all.

Amidst a chorus of curses, the seven members of the Hydra team cautiously stepped off the Soul Arena and approached their elders, finally feeling a sense of relief.

To be honest, Meng Yiran and Bai Chenxiang were scared just now, afraid that these excited audience members would rush onto the stage and beat them up.

Fortunately, with the protection of elders, their safety was finally guaranteed.

"Xiao Feng, this tactic is really good." Flander gave Chen Feng a thumbs up, "It's just a bit hard on the eyes."

"The main reason is that the difference in strength is not too great; otherwise, even if we gained the upper hand with Flash, it wouldn't have mattered," Chen Feng said.

The initial use of the backflash technique was quite effective, and Chenfeng plans to call this tactic the "flash burst."

To put it simply, it involves using flashbangs to disrupt the enemy's vision, then charging in headfirst and overwhelming them with sheer force.

To counter this tactic, one must either turn around when Tang San throws the Flash Seed, or even close one's eyes.

Alternatively, you can prepare special eye protection equipment to prevent the effects of flash.

The former is difficult to do in battle because Tang San can throw Flash at any time. As long as the timing of the throw is completely unpredictable, it will be difficult for the opponent to avoid being hit.

How to counter a move that lacks any strategy or pattern? There's no way to counter it.

As for the latter, it might work in the Soul Arena, but it won't work in the Soul Master Tournament.

Because the Soul Master Competition prohibits all equipment, only Martial Souls and their derivatives can be used.

The fact that Tang San's hidden weapons cannot be used in the Soul Master Competition is an epic nerf to him.

However, this rule was lifted in the second era of the Douluo Continent, and soul tools entered the stage of the Soul Master Competition, becoming an indispensable part of soul master battles.

While Flander went to collect his winnings, the others quietly left the Great Soul Arena.

They had just incurred the wrath of the audience, so it was not a good time for them to linger.

As for how the Grand Arena will handle the aftermath of today's match, that's not their concern.

Show off and leave – that's how exciting it is.

......

Back at the hotel, Flander first distributed the gold coins he had won according to the proportion of everyone's participation, and then let the students go back to their rooms to rest.

Nothing more was said that night, and the group set off again the next day, heading towards Tiandou City.

Chen Feng felt a little regretful when he left Silves City.

Because he didn't encounter the original "Fierce God Team" here.

As the team that provided the first blood for the Shrek Seven Devils in the original story, Chen Feng was quite eager to see just how ruthless they really were.

In the original story, the master had the Shrek Seven Devils use the Zhuge Crossbow to kill all the members of the Fiend God Team, ostensibly as a training exercise for the Shrek Seven Devils.
