Chapter 198 The semi-finals are coming
After Shrek Academy secured a spot in the semi-finals, they were not idle in the following days. They were either training or watching other academies’ competitions. After all, knowing your enemy and yourself will ensure victory in every battle.
It is still necessary to do a certain degree of investigation. The academy that can enter the semi-finals is not comparable to those cats and dogs before. If they are not careful, even the Shrek team may be eliminated by the opponent.
The academies that finally entered the semi-finals were the Shrek Team, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy of the Sun Moon Empire, the Star Luo National Academy of the Star Luo Empire, and the last one to enter was the Di'ao Academy of the Sky Soul Empire.
Among the three teams that the Shrek team will face, the strongest is still the Sun Moon Royal Academy from the Sun Moon Empire. Looking at their quarterfinal match, it can be seen that they are determined to win this time.
The tactics arranged with various soul guides are hard to guard against. It can be said that they will be troublesome once you face them.
Ma Rulong, the captain of the Sun Moon Royal Academy, never appeared in the entire competition. According to the information, he is the only Soul Emperor-level fighter of the Sun Moon Team.
Currently, among the fourteen regular and reserve players from the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy who have come to participate in the competition, there are only three people, their captain Ma Rulong, and the reserve players Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
Among the players of the Sun and Moon team who have already played, the other six regular players are all Soul King level. Among them, there are two Soul Kings over level 55, and the others are all Soul Kings in their early 50s.
Among the five reserve players who have already played, there are two Soul Masters and three Soul Lords. The Soul Lords should all be above level 35.
The advantages and disadvantages of this team are very obvious. The advantage is that they have a variety of high-tech soul guides to assist them in combat, and the disadvantage is that their combat power is all in the soul guides, and their own martial spirits are not strong.
At the same time, because most of them practice by taking drugs, their basic qualities as soul masters are not strong, and their soul power is mainly obtained by simply activating soul guides.
The Tianhun Empire's Di'ao Academy, like Shrek and the Sun and Moon Team, has Soul Emperor-level players. Di'ao Academy is the royal academy of the Tianhun Empire. All members of the royal family will enter to study there. Their participating lineup is composed of a Soul Emperor and six Soul Kings. However, they are mainly Soul Masters, with Soul Mentors as assistants. According to the news, they have two Soul King-level Soul Mentors, but the Soul Mentor level is only level 4.
The last opponent is the Xingluo National Academy of the Xingluo Empire. Compared with other academies, the Xingluo Academy is the weakest. Because they don't have a Soul Emperor-level strongman, the regular team members are all Soul Kings, and the reserve team, except for an unknown person, the levels of the others are hovering between the Soul Sect and Soul Lord. But this doesn't mean they are easy to deal with. After all, this is the Xingluo Empire, so they have the home advantage. And the overall strength of the Xingluo National Academy is not too weak.
Xu Xingyu has a different opinion about Xingluo Royal Academy. In his opinion, the overall combat power of Xingluo Royal Academy may be second only to Sun and Moon Royal Academy.
This is because he knows who the last candidate for the Xing Luo Empire's reserve team is, and that is Princess Xu Jiujiu, with whom he is engaged.
Xu Jiujiu's combat power is far superior to that in the original work. According to the original work, Xu Jiujiu was a Soul King at this time, but now because of a certain butterfly, she has reached the level of Soul Emperor.
It is true that Xu Jiujiu's cultivation level is only level 63, but that is still a Soul Emperor. Considering that her martial soul is the Star Crown, whose auxiliary ability is not inferior to that of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower, this battle will be much more troublesome.
As for why her cultivation level is so different from that in the original work, it is mainly because the Qi Ling Tower and the Xing Luo Empire had a cooperation three years ago. During that cooperation, Xu Jiujiu bought a Starry Unicorn Soul from Xu Xingyu.
This soul has been cultivating for 70,000 years. If it hadn't been seriously injured and had one foot in the grave, this Star Unicorn would not have become a soul.
After Xu Jiujiu obtained this soul, because his own Star Crown Martial Soul and the Star Shining Unicorn Soul were highly compatible, the fusion went very smoothly.
As a result, she went from being a Soul Sect member who had just reached level 50 to a Soul King at level 52. However, Xu Jiujiu's biggest gain from that time was not her own level.
Instead, she merged with the soul of the Starry Unicorn to cure the drawback of her Star Crown Martial Soul that it could only be practiced at night. Now she could practice even during the day, and use the starlight power converted from light elements by the Starry Unicorn to assist her practice.
It was precisely for this reason that Xu Jiujiu was able to successfully advance to the level of Soul Emperor in three years, and the fact that Xingluo Royal Academy had kept her hidden until now was proof of her former ace.
Xu Xingyu also revealed this to Wang Yan, and implicitly reminded Wang Yan of the Xingguan family's most troublesome attribute isolation soul skill, Starlight Guardian.
As for the information about Xu Jiujiu's other soul skills, Xu Xingyu had no intention of revealing them to Wang Yan, and he himself did not know what soul skills the other party had.
After all, he and Xu Jiujiu seldom mentioned matters related to cultivation, and most of the topics were about official business or daily life.
This also made Dai Yuheng complain: "Aren't you two an engaged couple? How come you can't even figure out each other's soul skills?"
To this, Xu Xingyu endured the strange looks from others who looked at the scumbag and retorted: "It's just a political marriage. I haven't met her that many times!"
However, Xu Xingyu's Chinese still made Wang Yan wary of the Xingluo Royal Academy. Putting aside the engagement between Xu Xingyu and Xu Jiujiu, the relationship between the Qi Ling Tower itself and the Xingluo Empire was also very good.
Therefore, the authenticity of Xu Xingyu's information should be very reliable.
How can they get through that attribute isolation? You have to know that most of the top fighters here use elemental attacks. Once the starlight protection is established, how can they break it?
In response to this, Xu Xingyu expressed that he was assured that he had a way to break through the Starlight Guardian, but he might have to use his fourth or fifth soul skill in this competition.
In the previous competitions, Xu Xingyu had not used these two soul skills because they were too powerful. Therefore, Wang Yan regarded them as the magic weapon for winning the game, and tried to hide them as much as possible until the most critical moment.
After some thought, Wang Yan agreed to Xu Xingyu's request and allowed Xu Xingyu to use his fifth soul skill, but the fourth soul skill was still retained.
The reason for this arrangement is that although Xu Xingyu's fifth soul skill is theoretically more powerful than his fourth soul skill, Ziwei Star Thunder Lock, which can seal soul power, it is not very effective against a team composed of soul instructors like the Sun and Moon Team.
In this final, the Shrek team will face the Sun-Moon Royal Academy, so it is no problem for him to expose his fifth soul skill in the semi-finals.
