Of course, what Wu Changkong was more worried about was that if they were still defeated by Fors after joining forces, it would be detrimental to the growth of these children!
Moreover, Tang Wulin and his group of five, along with Wu Siduo and the others, don't get along well right now. Getting them to cooperate against the enemy is a joke; they should be grateful if they don't sabotage each other.
"Tsk, let their teams go one by one then. It's the finals anyway, so it's okay to relax the rules a bit, right?"
“Okay.” Before Wu Changkong could reply, Wu Siduo said impatiently. To her, Tang Wulin’s team was nothing to fear; the one she really wanted to fight was Fors.
"I've been honing my skills for a whole month for this day. Fors, let me show you how much I've grown in this month." This was Wu Siduo's thought. Ever since she was defeated by Fors in the class monitor selection competition, she had been thinking about it.
Even though no one dared to question her after she became the class monitor, she still felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, and always felt that she was not truly deserving of the position.
Today, she will defeat Fors fair and square, so that her title of class monitor will be truly deserved.
This wasn't blind arrogance; she genuinely had a certain level of confidence.
In the class monitor selection competition, although all five of them were eliminated by Fors and Nan Fusheng one after another, that was based on the premise that they did not know the other's abilities.
Moreover, when they encountered each other, they were all fighting alone. Now that the five of them are together and cooperating with each other, their combined combat power is definitely not low.
“Alright, in that case, you can decide the order yourselves,” Wu Changkong said.
“We’ll go first,” Wu Siduo said without hesitation. If we’re going to fight, we should fight Fors at his peak. Only by defeating him in this way can we do it fair and square.
On the contrary, Luo Guixing hesitated to speak. He personally preferred to let Tang Wulin and the others go first, so that they could see if Fors had any hidden trump cards.
Even if things don't go perfectly, they can at least deplete the opponent's soul power, increasing their chances of victory. However, Wu Siduo had already made up her mind, so he couldn't object.
Since Wu Siduo had already said she would go first, Tang Wulin and the others naturally wouldn't go out of their way to refute her. This would also allow them to see how well Fors and Nan Fusheng were cooperating, so that they could formulate tactics for the next step.
Three people from Nan Fusheng's side and five people from the Wu Siduo team filed onto the stage.
Frankly, this is against the rules of the selection competition. According to the rules, if there is a difference in the number of players between the two teams, the team with more players must reduce the number of teammates by the number of players on the team with fewer players.
In other words, only a maximum of three of the five members of Wu Siduo can take the stage to fight. However, due to the exceptional presence of Fors, coupled with Nan Fusheng's abilities, Wu Changkong did not address this bug.
As soon as they stepped onto the stage, the five members of Wu Siduo heard Fors loudly plotting something.
"I'll take these three, and you can have the other two." With that, Fors pointed to Zheng Qiaran, Yang Nianxia, and Xu Yucheng.
Zheng Qia Ran: "?! Oh no, have I been exposed?!"
Chapter 204 Soul Sect
Wu Siduo's eyes turned cold instantly, while Luo Guixing still wore a gentle smile, like a smiling tiger.
Xu Yucheng looked excited; he had wanted to fight Fors for a long time. Yang Nianxia, on the other hand, looked serious.
As for Zheng Qiaran, she was terrified. As a member of the second group along with Fors, she knew exactly how strong Fors was. Putting aside everything else, the mental pressure Fors exerted to subdue her sometimes almost made her breathless.
Now she's supposed to fight Fors? This is completely different from what Zheng Qiaran had envisioned!
In her plan, after her team defeats Tang Wulin's team, when facing Fors's team, she will be responsible for fighting Nan Fusheng or Xu Xiaoyan, while Fors will be left to Wu Siduo and the others to deal with.
Now, judging from Fors's expression, she's determined to beat up all three of them.
Having done something wrong, Zheng Qiaran instinctively assumed that Fors had discovered her little trick and wanted to take the opportunity to beat her up.
“Okay, no problem. But why don’t you ask Wu Siduo? In terms of strength, she’s the strongest among the five on the other side.” Nan Fusheng nodded in agreement, which would also be a good opportunity for him to make some small moves.
"She's too weak, and I've already fought her before, so I'm not interested in her anymore. I haven't fought the other three yet, so I'll just treat it as a change of pace," Fors said nonchalantly, ignoring the expressions on the faces of the five people opposite him.
When Fors said that she was weak, Wu Siduo's eyes flashed even colder, but she couldn't refute it because she had indeed lost to Fors.
Zheng Qia Ran breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out they hadn't been discovered after all. That was good.
"Never fought you? I think I was beaten by you before." Yang Nianxia's lips twitched. He had originally planned to team up with Wu Siduo, so he intended to cooperate with her first to deal with Fors.
Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn, and he suddenly encountered a formidable opponent who eliminated him with a single burst of Buddha's Fury Lotus. Judging from Fors's current expression, she clearly didn't recognize him.
This also dealt a blow to Yang Nianxia's fragile heart. No, you recognized which of the other four you'd fought and which you hadn't, but with me, I'm just a nobody, right?
"Both sides prepare, five countdown." Wu Changkong's cold voice rang out, and the five members of Wu Siduo's group tensed up, ready to charge.
"Five, four, three, two, one!" Wu Changkong counted down.
Four spirit rings—yellow, purple, purple, and purple—rose from beneath Nan Fusheng, who stood at the forefront, while three spirit rings also rose from beneath Xu Xiaoyan behind him. Fors made no move, but no one dared to covet her because of this.
Four spirit rings! A spirit master! When did Nan Fusheng become a spirit master? And Xu Xiaoyan too... The students below the stage stared in astonishment at the four spirit rings rising from beneath Nan Fusheng's feet.
Even Tang Wulin and the others watching the battle were surprised to see this scene. They never expected that Nan Fusheng, who lived in the same dormitory, was hiding his true intentions so well.
“When I helped Xiaoyan acquire her spirit ring, Fusheng was only at the third level. He should have become a Spirit Master within this month.”
Tang Wulin pondered to himself, and at the same time he felt a certain amount of pressure. He never expected that Nan Fusheng, whose innate soul power was lower than his, would later surpass him and far exceed him in soul power.
"Moreover, I was able to cultivate so quickly because of the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, while Fusheng could only rely on himself. He must have been cultivating diligently without our knowledge."
"It must be that Fusheng asked Fors to help him train, which is why they couldn't wait to leave after each get out of class."
Thinking of this, Tang Wulin was filled with respect. He never expected that Nan Fusheng, who seemed to be just having fun on the surface, was actually so hardworking behind the scenes.
……
"I misunderstood him." Xu Xiaoyan clearly shared Tang Wulin's opinion, believing that Nan Fusheng must have undergone rigorous training to raise his soul power to this level.
Although the five people opposite Wu Siduo were also somewhat surprised, their actions did not falter in the slightest, and they also released their spirit rings. However, having two more thousand-year spirit rings was not enough to change the course of the battle.
When the Holy Spirit Douluo, who was watching the battle, saw four spirit rings appear on Nan Fusheng, Wu Siduo, and Xu Yucheng, he couldn't help but be slightly moved.
Four rings were nothing to her, but for someone as young as thirteen to possess four rings was truly extraordinary. Even Shrek Academy, the top academy in the world, rarely saw such a feat!
"Begin!" With a loud shout from Wu Changkong, Wu Siduo and her group of five moved first.
Yang Nianxia roared to the sky, her body suddenly swelled, her Dark Gold Bear Martial Soul erupted, and her body instantly grew to more than two meters tall, with dark gold fur sprouting all over her body. She strode forward and charged towards Nan Fusheng in front of her.
Luo Guixing flashed and hid behind Yang Nianxia, while Wu Siduo suddenly accelerated from the side. In a flash, she overtook Yang Nianxia from the side and rushed straight towards Nan Fusheng's team like a bolt of lightning.
Her speed was undoubtedly the fastest among the ten people present. Bypassing Nan Fusheng from the front, her target was none other than Fors, who had defeated her.
Zheng Yiran's body shimmered with a pale green light. Her speed was not very fast, but wherever she passed, layers of green mist rose from the ground. The mist spread, condensed and did not dissipate, slowly covering the ground ahead.
Xu Yucheng's speed was second only to Wu Siduo's. He circled around from another direction, forming a situation where he and Wu Siduo flew side by side.
Wu Siduo is a dual-type Soul Master with both Agility and Power Attack attributes, while he is a true Agility Attack type, only slightly slower than Wu Siduo.
Yang Nianxia attacked head-on, Luo Guixing sat in the center, Wu Siduo and Xu Yucheng flew on both wings, and Zheng Yiran chose his target to attack.
There was no awkwardness among the five of them; their teamwork was extremely seamless.
They haven't been idle these past few days. The five of them have been practicing their teamwork. Of course, the purpose of the practice is not to defeat Tang Wulin and his group, because they don't take Tang Wulin and his group seriously at all. Their real target is the team that Fors is in.
Although Fors had previously specified that he would fight the other three, the situation on the battlefield changed drastically, so how could they possibly do as he said and split up their forces?
"Wu Siduo will hold off Fors first, Yang Nianxia will hold off Nan Fusheng, and I will assist from the side. Xu Yucheng will first eliminate Xu Xiaoyan, then help Yang Nianxia defeat Nan Fusheng, and finally everyone will gang up on Fors together."
"It doesn't matter if the battle remains deadlocked. With Zheng Qiaran's poison corroding us, the longer it goes on, the more advantageous it will be for us." This was Luo Guixing's strategy.
Chapter 205 Power Suppression
Those watching from the audience had a clear view of the entire event, and they could roughly discern Luo Guixing's intentions.
Luo Guixing's move was brilliant. As long as he could hold off his strongest fighter, Fors, and then let the others eliminate Nan Fusheng and Xu Xiaoyan first, they could eventually defeat Fors by combining their strength.
"You little rascals who love to play tricks, today I'll show you that in the face of absolute strength, any little schemes will seem utterly ridiculous."
Fors snorted coldly and glared at Wu Siduo who was attacking. The terrifying mental pressure instantly made her body freeze and her speed began to slow down.
Then, without any spirit rings rising from her feet, she appeared not far in front of Xu Yucheng with a flash of silver light.
"Third Soul Skill: Dark Harvest".
A glint flashed in Xu Yucheng's eyes, and he accelerated, leaving a series of afterimages. His third-ranked yellow soul ring began to light up, and at the same time, he raised the huge dark demon scythe in his hand, its surface shimmering with a dark purple light.
He intended to use the momentum of his charge, combined with his third soul skill, to launch an attack on Fors. Although it was somewhat different from what he had expected, since Fors had chosen to attack him, he would hold him off.
"You, with only four yellow spirit rings, dare to compare strength with me? Who gave you the courage?"
A burst of light suddenly appeared all around, and endless light began to gather in Fors's hands.
"Great Bright Fist".
Fors's radiant jade hand clashed with Xu Yucheng's Dark Demon Scythe.
The next moment, Xu Yucheng felt a tremendous force coming from his hand, and he couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood. Then, as if he had been hit by a high-speed soul-guided train, he was sent flying until he crashed into the soul-guided barrier at the edge of the arena, where he finally stopped and lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
Wu Changkong rushed over to check on him and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Xu Yucheng was only injured and unconscious. He then picked him up and took him away from the arena.
Instant kill! He instantly killed Xu Yucheng, who was also a Soul Master!
The students in Class 1 of the new students stared wide-eyed at the scene, their mouths agape. Even though they knew Fors was really strong, this was just too much!
Previously, when facing the Netherworld White Tiger, they managed to hold their own for a while, but when it came to Xu Yucheng, he was instantly killed.
"Weakling." Fors glanced at Xu Yucheng and mocked him.
Is Xu Yucheng weak? No, his ability to rank nineteenth on the list of young geniuses already proves his strength. However, his poor physical condition is a major weakness.
How bad is Xu Yucheng's physical condition? As a Soul Master, his physical condition is at most equivalent to a normal Soul Ring configuration for an Agility-type Soul Master, or even worse.
If he could fully control the Dark Demon Scythe and no longer suffer the backlash from his martial soul, then given the scythe's power, he should have been a power-attack type soul master. Unfortunately, there are no "ifs."
He usually relies on the Dark Demon Scythe, with its unparalleled sharpness and the characteristics of dark elemental invasion, combined with bursts of speed, to defeat his opponents.
Just now, as an agility-based attacker, he chose to confront Fors head-on, which was not a wise choice.
