Chapter 628 Ming Dou Advancement
On the field, the battle has entered a fierce stage.
After Zhao He controlled the giant humanoid soul tool and charged into the Heavenly Soul Team, he broke up the enemy's formation, but he also became the target of everyone's attacks and was attacked by the entire team.
The Heavenly Soul Team wouldn't be defeated by his single attack. They immediately organized a coordinated response, with melee fighters bravely engaging, ranged attackers providing cover fire, and support units providing continuous buffs.
After Zhao He smashed through the two stone walls, he was about to continue his advance when he was immediately intercepted.
"Drink up—" With two shouts, the two Beast Soul Masters of the Heavenly Soul Team simultaneously swung their close-range soul tools and attacked Zhao He from two directions. Behind each of them, four and five soul rings floated.
Even knowing the difference in strength, this fourth-ring team member remained fearless and did his best to create a safe environment for his teammates.
Clang—
A sharp collision sound rang out, and the two men's attack finally slowed Zhao He's speed, making it difficult for him to turn around and attack the back row.
The target of their weapons was the chest area of the humanoid soul tool.
The match between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Academy in the morning provided valuable lessons for Tianhun Academy, and they unanimously concluded that they should prioritize attacking this area as a weakness.
A thin, transparent shield appeared in front of Zhao He, blocking the two's attacks, but then came the united attack of the Heavenly Soul Team.
Soul skills, soul tools, and one attack method after another were unleashed, with various colored lights constantly changing in the Heavenly Soul's battle formation, emitting continuous collision sounds.
Having made it this far, the Tianhun team is certainly no weak team. Despite the overall weakness of this year's competition, no one backed down, and they all showed great courage.
The Invincible Shield, a defensive soul tool named Invincible, has an absolute defensive effect, but it also has side effects that cannot be ignored: first, its duration is extremely short, lasting only a few seconds; second, it consumes a huge amount of soul power.
However, the defensive effect of the shield in front of Zhao He at this moment far exceeded the theoretical level, blocking all attacks from the Heavenly Soul Team.
His mech was already quite defensive, and before he charged into battle alone, the reserve soul power from the entire Heavenly Soul Team was transmitted to Zhao He through the linked soul guide device, allowing his soul power to reach the peak of the Soul Emperor in a short period of time.
Unfortunately, Zhao He's mental strength and control level are not yet sufficient to master precision weapons of the corresponding level. He can only use this soul power to simply enhance the power of his own mecha, using the outer shell of the humanoid soul tool as the purest weapon.
Such a direct collision containing powerful soul force is not something that a five-ring and a four-ring soul master can easily stop, but the Heavenly Soul Team seems to have discovered the weakness of the humanoid soul tool.
That was the chest area, where the core array of the entire humanoid soul tool was located. Beneath the hard metal were dense and complex soul power patterns.
However, the designers had anticipated this situation, and the protection of the core magic array was of paramount importance. The most priority for the defensive soul guide device was to protect the chest area.
While the invincible shield provided absolute safety, it also consumed soul power like a black hole. Faced with the entire Heavenly Soul team focusing their attacks, Zhao and his first sealed milk bottle were emptied in an instant. If it weren't for his teammates providing energy in advance, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.
wow——
A fierce storm, accompanied by raging flames and a strong sense of crisis, swept in from behind Zhao He, and the alarm inside the humanoid soul tool suddenly went off.
Zhao He immediately used his strength to shake off the two Heavenly Soul team members, and then turned around to face Xiang Weiyang, the Heavenly Soul captain who was returning to defend.
Xiang Weiyang's defensive speed was very fast. Three of the five spirit rings on his back instantly bloomed. His battle blade was powerful and heavy, and he accurately slashed at Zhao He's chest.
The sword collided with the transparent shield. This time, instead of bouncing off, they were briefly locked in mid-air before exploding with a piercing explosion.
stab-
The battle blade, coated with intense heat, sliced through the chest armor of the humanoid soul guide device, emitting a chilling scorching sound, revealing the magic array patterns within.
After being weakened by the combined attack of the entire Tianhun team, Zhao He's soul power was almost completely depleted, and he could no longer withstand Xiang Weiyang's full-force attack.
The core magic array was severely damaged, and the tall humanoid soul tool suddenly became as if it were drunk, its movements suddenly becoming extremely sluggish, and its metal arms slowly drooped down.
The next second, a flash of red light appeared, and Zhao He's humanoid soul tool disappeared into thin air. When he reappeared, he was already at the edge of the arena with Tianyang Douluo.
The referee leaving the field indicates that Zhao He has lost his ability to fight.
He emerged from the humanoid soul tool, his face filled with frustration. A gruesome scar ran diagonally from the right shoulder down to the abdomen of the towering humanoid soul tool, revealing the area slashed by the high-temperature battle blade. The soul power patterns of the core array, like metallic blood vessels, were now severed, turning this pinnacle of soul tool technology into a large lump of iron.
General-purpose humanoid soul tools can be mass-produced, but it takes a considerable amount of time to remake a custom-made model like this.
Although Zhao He was pulled off the field by the referee, the match was not over yet. After defeating the vanguard, Tianhun immediately faced the full firepower of Mingdou's main force.
He only harassed them for less than half a minute, but that half minute was enough for the Mingdou team to take over the game.
Next, you can enjoy the performance of Mingdou Team's various cutting-edge technologies.
The already obvious difference in strength, coupled with the shattered formation and the premature waste of soul power on one individual, left the entire Heavenly Soul Team utterly powerless to withstand the Ming Dou Team's offensive.
boom--
A new barrage of shells was unleashed, and the scattered Heavenly Soul team was unable to withstand it. One by one, team members were pulled to the sidelines by Heavenly Sun Douluo, staring blankly at their equally disintegrating teammates on the field, gasping for breath.
Soon, only Captain Xiang Weiyang remained on Tianhun's side, fighting to the very end. He initially relied on his outstanding personal skills to nimbly dodge attacks and tried his best to take down one more opponent.
Unfortunately, without the support of his teammates, his sword was simply unable to break through the enemy's defenses on his own.
He also tried to force a one-for-one trade with an opponent, but when he spotted an enemy player, just as he was about to swing his sword for the second time, he found that his opponents were very coordinated and kept adjusting their positions.
After each slash, the hit opponent would retreat, and another opponent would step forward to block his next slash, ensuring that the same teammate would not be hit twice in a row, and so on.
Under such encirclement and suppression, the captain of the Heavenly Soul team finally succumbed to the pressure and was sentenced to death by the Heavenly Sun Douluo.
At this point, all members of the Tianhun team were eliminated, marking the victory of the Mingdou team.
Tianyang Douluo's voice rang out loudly: "All members of the Tianhun Royal Academy have lost their ability to fight. Mingdou Team wins this match."
"The field referee is repairing the playing field. The individual elimination rounds will begin in 15 minutes."
The subsequent individual elimination rounds were also predictable. Without a Soul Emperor-level expert to oversee the team, the Heavenly Soul team couldn't even manage to defeat two Ming Dou team members, let alone turn the tide.
Captain Xiang Weiyang was too exhausted in the team battle, and he was no match for the main fighters equipped with sealed milk bottles in the arena.
Ultimately, the individual elimination rounds concluded with a resounding victory for Team Mingdou.
The first two teams to advance from the quarterfinals to the semifinals have been decided: Shrek Team and Mingdou Team. They will compete in the semifinals the day after tomorrow morning.
In this match, Tianhun suffered a crushing defeat. Their only achievement was that they managed to destroy one of Mingdou Team's level-five humanoid soul tools, while the other Mingdou members were almost unharmed.
However, their fighting spirit also earned them applause from the audience.
Spectator area, Shrek team.
"Good!" Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan cheered at the same time.
It wasn't just because of the brave performance of the Tianhun team; despite their lack of strength, they displayed a commendable spirit of fearlessness.
Furthermore, their further verification of the weaknesses of humanoid soul tools provided valuable experience for Shrek Academy's subsequent tactical arrangements.
On the field, the Ming Dou team members cheered as they put away their humanoid soul tools and gathered together to celebrate their glorious victory.
There's no need to hide your strength like in the group stage; all the main players can go on the field together and easily crush any enemies in your way.
"Captain, everything was done as you and the team leader intended," Zhao He said with some pride.
"Well done." Ning Yuan patted him on the shoulder. "Now let's see if Shrek will take the challenge."
