Chapter 519: Shame on you, give it to me right now...
Chen Lingyi won three games in a row and scored three points for the team.
The players of Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy stood up one after another. They had not expected to win in the individual elimination round, and under the current circumstances, the individual elimination round would be no different from being a food delivery. At the level of the semi-finals, the real victory or defeat would inevitably be decided in the team battle.
Teamfighting is their strong point. The Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy team has cooperated with each other for many years, and they are even confident that their tacit understanding can surpass that of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. They have hidden a trump card specially prepared for teamfighting, and the first three players have not suffered serious injuries. At this moment, all members are regrouping and waiting to show their skills on stage.
"Next contestant." Zheng Zhan's voice came from the direction of the arena, and his eyes turned to the preparation area of Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy.
The players from Mingdu Soul Mentor Academy looked at each other in confusion. Zheng Zhan walked up to them quickly and said in a hurried tone, "What are you still thinking about? It's time to send the next player to the stage!"
Xu Tianzhen blinked his eyes: "Referee, shouldn't the team fight start? Why haven't you announced it yet?"
The corners of Zheng Zhan's mouth twitched noticeably, and a few black lines seemed to hang down on his forehead: "You have all made it to the semi-finals, but you don't even understand the rules? There are only three individual elimination matches, how can there be a team battle?"
"But doesn't the rule say that after winning three individual games you have the right to request a team fight?" Xu Tianzhen argued unconvinced.
Her Royal Highness is indeed as her name suggests! Zheng Zhan couldn't help laughing when he was speechless.
"...Yes, but only the victorious party is eligible to request a team fight." After all, Xu Tianran was still watching on the rostrum, so Zheng Zhan couldn't just start scolding him.
"Ah this..."
The players of Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy realized that Chen Lingyi had not requested to start a team battle. Originally, Chen Lingyi's goal was to let He Caitou fight against Xu Tianzhen. Since this tactical goal had not been achieved and her own soul power was not consumed much, she decided to continue the individual elimination match until Xu Tianzhen was forced to play. Of course, she could also beat Xu Tianzhen and then change people, depending on the attitude of the opponent.
Xu Tianzhen stared at Chen Lingyi who was recovering on the stage and couldn't help shouting, "Are you kidding us?"
"Please don't be unreasonable." Chen Lingyi instantly locked onto Xu Tianzhen, allowing her to experience what Lu Jun had felt before.
Xu Tianzhen shuddered all over and blurted out something ridiculous: "Don't do anything rash!" As she spoke, she shrank behind Zheng Zhan.
Zheng Zhan was very tired. Were there not enough examples of people who spoke out of turn in this competition? The people of Dragon Pavilion even dared to hit the Regent, and they did it more than once. Why did Her Royal Highness think she could escape this disaster?
"This girl..."
The voice transmission equipment on the rostrum carried the conversation in the audience clearly. Xu Tianran's mouth twitched when he heard it, and he looked obviously embarrassed.
This is too embarrassing.
"Captain, please say less..." Lu Jun quietly pulled the sleeve of the unreliable captain.
"Why are you touching me? Are you trying to take advantage of me?" Xu Tianzhen slapped him in the face.
"It's unfair, big sister!" Lu Jun wanted to cry but had no tears. The other team members stepped back tacitly.
"I'll go ahead. You guys prepare for a team fight." Xu Tianzhen shook off Lu Jun's blocking hand, "I'll deal with them after I win."
She strode onto the stage with big strides, her soul power surging around her, her momentum rising steadily, resisting the might emanating from Chen Lingyi.
He Caitou was right in his guess. The princess definitely could not afford to lose. However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.
Xu Tianzhen stared straight at Chen Lingyi's chest and shouted angrily: "You, why are you older than me?!"
Chen Lingyi was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the referee, "Is this the quality of you people from the Sun and Moon Empire?"
Come home, kid, come home, okay? Zheng Zhan felt deeply ashamed.
"You are now representing the image of Mingdu. If you keep talking trash like this, I will kick you out." At this point it didn't matter whether the other party was a princess or not. The Sun-Moon Empire couldn't afford to lose face.
Xu Tianzhen curled his lips and muttered, "I'm just telling the truth. Let's get started and see how I defeat her."
Zheng Zhan said in a deep voice with a dark face: "Both parties should report their names."
"Dragon Pavilion, Chen Lingyi."
"Mingdu, Xu Tianzhen."
It really lives up to its name.
On the rostrum, Ju Zi leaned close to Xu Tianran's ear and said, "Your Highness, could that be..."
Xu Tianran frowned slightly. "It's my troublesome sister, the only jewel in the royal family's crown. She has been spoiled by my father since she was a child and is very willful. Originally, we wanted to send her to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, but she insisted on going to Shrek Academy, which made my father so angry that he got angry with her for the first time."
Holy shit! Another one of them! Not far away, Jing Hongchen seemed calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.
"We brothers have been fighting overtly and covertly, but we are the only one fighting against this girl..." Xu Tianran suddenly lowered his voice, "She is indeed very talented. It is rare for her to lead the team into the semi-finals this time. But she doesn't care about her image. Fortunately, she didn't reveal her identity, otherwise it would be too embarrassing."
Orange chuckled and said, "I think Princess Tian Nai is straightforward and cute. She lives a much freer life than us."
Although Jing Hongchen looked solemn, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.
Can anyone be as embarrassing as you?
"Both sides retreat!" Zheng Zhan announced loudly.
Xu Tianzhen waved her little fist at Chen Lingyi and said, "I'm very powerful, you are bound to lose!" After saying that, she turned around and retreated to her own position.
"Game start!"
"Swoosh--" a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly tore through the air, and a sharp sword light instantly crossed a distance of a hundred meters and went straight for Xu Tianzhen's throat.
"Hello, please die." This sword was Chen Lingyi's most straightforward response to Xu Tianzhen's provocation.
But Xu Tianzhen was a completely different person when she entered the battle state. She clasped her hands together and held them up to the sky. A dazzling red light suddenly burst out from her body. An orange light ball bloomed above her palms, and six soul rings with the best ratio of two yellow, two purple and two black shone under her feet. The third soul ring suddenly flashed, and an orange-red beam of light met the sword light.
"Boom!" Amidst the deafening explosion, Xu Tianzhen's first soul ring lit up, and an orange-red halo appeared under her feet. Her figure sank suddenly with the beam of light shot from above her head, and she changed her position in an instant, accurately avoiding the deadly sword light.
Chen Lingyi's body was as fast as lightning, rushing straight to where Xu Tianzhen was. With the lesson of his teammates, Xu Tianzhen naturally did not dare to confront him head-on. With a gleam in his eyes, the orange-red ball of light in his hand suddenly exploded, and thousands of dazzling rays of light were like the rising sun, instantly covering the entire arena in a blazing golden-red light.
In this dazzling light, Xu Tianzhen's figure disappeared as if melting. Chen Lingyi was left with only a sea of scorching light in front of him, and the opponent's aura was completely obscured by this dazzling light. There were bursts of exclamations from the audience, and everyone was blinded by this sudden strong light.
Under the competition stage, He Caitou clenched his fists unconsciously, and his knuckles turned white from the exertion. The martial spirit directly inherited from the Sun and Moon Royal Family, the martial spirit that he had not been able to show to anyone for more than a decade, was now shining brightly on the stage.
As a symbol of the direct bloodline of the Sun-Moon Empire's royal family, the Sun Spirit was the key to the Xu family's ascension to the throne. This extremely yang and strong top-level fire attribute spirit, although not the ultimate fire, is not much different. It can also continuously strengthen itself by absorbing the power of the sun, and is even more powerful than Zhang Lexuan's Moon Spirit.
Just as He Caitou was lost in his memories, the golden-red light on the competition stage suddenly surged. A strange scene appeared. The sunlight in other areas of the sky seemed to suddenly dim, and only the sunlight shining on the competition stage was particularly blazing, forming a pillar of light with a diameter of 100 meters, like a miracle.
Chen Lingyi, who was in the center of the light column, was the first to be hit. The dazzling golden-red light left only a scorching golden color in front of her eyes, and Xu Tianzhen's aura completely disappeared from her perception. What was even more terrifying was that the temperature of the ground on the competition stage was rising at an alarming rate. The hard granite began to glow a dark red like lava, and the terrifying heat wave continued to burn her body.
"I should have let Ayan play earlier..." Although he said that, Chen Lingyi was not panicked at all.
In fact, Xu Tianzhen is definitely an outlier in Mingdu Soul Instructor College. Her uniqueness lies in the fact that she is essentially a soul master, not a soul instructor. With a powerful sun martial soul, she will naturally put her cultivation first. As long as there is a choice, no one will choose to become a soul instructor first. Xu Tianzhen entered Mingdu Soul Instructor College for some special reasons. Although she also uses soul guides, her strongest is still her martial soul.
Xu Tianzhen did not move. Everything on the competition stage seemed to be still in the golden red light. Her "Brilliant Light" soul skill itself is a powerful domain-type ability. This domain can not only continuously increase the temperature to burn the opponent, but also condense the power of the sun in the sky. The longer the domain lasts, the greater the energy drawn from the sun. This not only makes the temperature in the domain continue to rise, but also allows her to accumulate this power, and then burst out to attack when it reaches a certain level. Its power can be imagined.
The most depressed person at the moment is probably the referee, the Invincible Douluo Zheng Zhan.
As a referee, he needs to observe the competition between the two sides on the stage, end the game and determine the winner at the critical moment. Generally speaking, he will never be affected by the attacks of the players. But facing this kind of domain-type soul skills, he has no way to avoid it. Although this light is not really ten thousand feet high, the range is extremely wide. If he flies beyond the height of the domain, how can he see the situation on the stage clearly? Moreover, he cannot resist the pressure of this range-type soul skill too much, otherwise it will interfere with Xu Tianzhen's performance. Helplessly, this powerful ninth-level soul instructor can only bear the high temperature effect brought by the domain. Even if he has a profound cultivation and will not be injured, it is definitely not pleasant to be roasted like this.
The atmosphere was extremely tense both on and off the stage. The players from Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy stood up and stared at the game on the stage. They all knew that if Xu Tianzhen lost again, it would be the end.
On the field, the golden-red light has been covering the stage for more than a minute. Although it is impossible to see the situation on the stage through the strong light, you can know its power by just observing the surroundings of the stage. Dark red molten iron is slowly dripping along the edge of the protective shield, and the scorching high temperature causes large and twisted ripples to appear on the surface of the protective shield. Even steel is melted by it. It is self-evident how terrifying the temperature on the stage is at this moment.
At this moment, the situation on the competition stage suddenly changed. The blazing golden-red light collapsed inward at an alarming speed.
The entire competition venue had been burned into a dark red color, and the golden-red light was gathering towards a certain place, becoming increasingly deep and blood-red. The light in the entire space was distorted violently, creating ripples.
Xu Tianzhen's figure reappeared, she still maintained the posture of holding up her hands, but the little sun had turned into dark red. The black light of her sixth soul ring was bright, and the deep black seemed to dye the sun.
"Sun Gaze! Her sixth soul skill is actually Sun Gaze! The captain..." He Caitou's voice stopped abruptly.
"Xiao Ling can handle it. Trust her." Yan Feng said in a relaxed tone, but his knuckles were clenched until they turned white. "But the plan may change."
"What do you mean?" He Caitou was puzzled.
"With such a big scene, it might be difficult for the Sun-Moon Empire to deal with it."
No explanation is needed. Anyone can see the terrifying power of this soul skill. It compresses the stored solar energy to the extreme. The golden and red in the sky converge like a funnel towards a certain point. And that focus is exactly where Chen Lingyi is. She only sees the temperature rising in the field, but she doesn't know that the outside world has turned upside down. When the last ray of light converges, it is the moment when this devastating blow breaks out.
Just as the blazing light was about to finish its final phase, a clear sword sound suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.
Xu Tianzhen's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc. Want to resist now? Too late. After being locked by the sun's true fire with brilliant light and the sun's gaze, even a soul saint can't escape. A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. How could she still look innocent?
"You are the one who is going to die!" The dark red sun that was compressed to the extreme exploded, and the entire stadium was instantly engulfed in the dazzling golden red.
"Qiang!"
The clear sound of the sword suddenly penetrated the hot energy field. The sneer on Xu Tianzhen's mouth had not yet faded, but his pupils suddenly contracted.
In the center of the violent golden-red light column, Chen Lingyi's figure reappeared in the torrent of destruction. She had no soul shield around her, only the Seven Killing Sword in her hand stabbed straight out, and the tip of the sword pointed at the core of the light column. An incredibly condensed and terrifying sword intent, like an invisible sharp blade, actually split the sun's true fire that was enough to melt through refined gold.
The violent energy torrent was split in two by the invisible sword intent, like a raging wave split by a reef, roaring and rushing through both sides of her body, instantly turning the large arena behind her into a lava pool. And she herself was still standing there with the sword in hand, unharmed. The terrifying sword intent forcibly opened up an absolute "vacuum" zone in front of her, isolating all high temperatures and destruction!
The high-temperature lava on the ground beneath her feet was suppressed by the invisible sharp energy and could not get close at all!
