Chapter 147 Yang Tianyue's Breakthrough
Ye Lingling's victory seemed to have shattered everyone's worldview. It was unbelievable that such a situation could occur in a Soul Battle competition, with a healing-type Soul Master defeating a powerful attack-type Soul Master one-on-one.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder, is this a healing type? It seems more like a combat type.
Especially Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's group, which completely shattered Yu Xiaogang's worldview.
Before the match began, Yu Xiaogang analyzed: "Support-type Soul Masters basically have no offensive capabilities. In one-on-one battles, they are at a significant disadvantage and are unlikely to win against Soul Masters of the same level. The Heaven Dou Second Team only has eight Soul Masters, and Ye Lingling will be a huge weakness unless Yang Podi is willing to personally take to the field."
The result was a swift reversal of fortune. Ye Lingling, merely a support character in the team, had somehow managed to defeat the opposing captain, a truly dramatic turn of events.
Tang San, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, can you figure out how Ye Lingling created that self-created soul skill?"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head: "Ye Lingling's performance was even better than I expected. Whether it was physical fitness or soul power strength, she was already comparable to a battle soul master of the same level. Normal soul masters' self-created soul skills are basically based on their martial soul and soul skills. I can't see how she created this kind of self-created soul skill."
With Ye Lingling's hard-fought victory, the Tian Dou Second Team immediately substituted other players into the game.
In the following days, the match format of Tiandou Team 2 was basically the same: the first five players would take the stage randomly, Dugu Yan would take the stage as the sixth player, and Yang Ping'an would hold the stage. Yang Ping'an did not have the opportunity to play for several days in a row. Even if the opponent had three opponents left, Dugu Yan would fight hard to defeat them.
As for the first five, Yang Tianyue basically won every match she faced, and Niu Meng, needless to say, almost always crushed his opponents quickly. Ye Lingling, on the other hand, has played five matches and has won four, which has astonished everyone.
Even Niu Kui and Yang Yuxuan, who have the lowest soul power, can only lose when they encounter a Soul Master, and they can win when they encounter a Soul Venerable.
This also refreshed everyone's understanding. The combat ability of all the members of the Tiandou Second Team was almost terrifying. Some observant teachers even noticed that the combat power of all the members of the Second Team had actually improved compared to the preliminaries. It seemed that the members were more agile and faster.
Team Tiandou 2 is the number one team in the Tiandou region, with an exceptionally brilliant record. Many teachers are studying Team Tiandou 2's tactics, hoping to use the strategy of Tian Ji's horse racing to see if they can steal a victory.
However, after studying for a long time, many teachers still couldn't figure out how the first five members of the Tian Dou Second Team were arranged. In particular, Yu Xiaogang wanted to study the arrangement of the Tian Dou Second Team to see if he could use weaker players to avoid the opponent's strongest player, Niu Meng. After much research, he discovered that the first five members of the Tian Dou Second Team were basically randomly arranged, and there was no way to plan ahead and avoid them. Yu Xiaogang was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the qualifying rounds have passed. Surprisingly, even though Tian Dou Team II adopted such a bizarre tactic, they have maintained a perfect record and have been firmly in first place.
What's even more disheartening is that after nearly ten battles, Ye Lingling's soul power has actually broken through to the next level, and she is now at level forty-nine.
Yu Xiaogang stared at Ye Lingling, who had broken through, with a livid expression. He seemed to be beginning to understand Yang Podi's tactical objectives.
In the twelfth match of the qualifying rounds, Team Tiandou 1 and Team Tiandou 2 finally met, making them the two undefeated teams so far.
After careful planning, Yu Xiaogang finally started the competition.
The first player to appear for Team Tiandou One was Yu Tianheng, while the first player to appear for Team Tiandou Two was surprisingly Yang Tianyue.
To everyone's surprise, even though Yang Tianyue was only a level 39 Soul Master, she was not afraid to fight against Yu Tianheng, who was at level 43.
On the contrary, Yang Tianyue took the initiative to attack, gripping the Soul-Breaking Spear with both hands and ignoring the flashing lightning around her, she suddenly attacked forward.
Meanwhile, Yu Tianheng, possessed by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, fiercely responded to Yang Tianyue's attack.
In an instant, lightning flashed across the scene, and spear shadows danced like dragons. The Soul-Shattering Spear and the Thunder Dragon seemed to rise and fall one after another, and the battle was exceptionally fierce, exceeding everyone's expectations.
As time went on, Yu Tianheng gradually gained the upper hand. After all, it was a battle between a Soul Master and a Soul Venerable, and Yu Tianheng possessed the top-grade beast soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. Each of his soul rings was carefully selected by his family, and he had also obtained the family's secret techniques that were not passed down to outsiders.
Yang Tianyue had already used up three soul skills and had consumed most of her soul power, so she seemed to be on the verge of defeat.
Surprisingly, even though Yang Tianyue had exhausted most of her soul power, she still pressed forward relentlessly, stubbornly using the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique to fight against Yu Tianheng.
Especially when Yu Tianheng used his fourth soul skill, Blue Lightning Dragon Swiftness, Yang Tianyue remained exceptionally tenacious. Even with insufficient soul power, she forcibly activated her third soul skill to directly confront Yu Tianheng's attack.
On the arena, the massive Soul-Shattering Spear and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex collided. Yu Tianheng was forced back two steps, while Yang Tianyue seemed to be knocked away. But what was even more surprising was that Yang Tianyue's soul power fluctuated rapidly and fiercely. It was in this unstoppable battle that Yang Tianyue broke through to level 40 and finally broke through to the Soul Master realm under such immense pressure.
In the end, Yang Tianyue was still defeated, after all, she had consumed too much soul power, but Yang Tianyue's breakthrough on the spot simply stunned everyone.
Yu Xiaogang, in particular, seemed to be looking at Yang Podi in the distance with a gloomy expression. He couldn't believe that Yang Podi was so bold as to let his sister break through under such circumstances.
Yang Tianyue's talent seems terrifyingly strong. She broke through to the Soul Master level at the age of only thirteen, and she did so in battle. Such cultivation talent and combat talent are simply unprecedented.
The match continued, but Yu Tianheng's soul power was too depleted, and he was actually defeated by Ye Lingling in the second match, which was a disgrace to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.
No one cares how much you expended in the first battle. After all, you only defeated a Soul Master. It's truly shameful that a Soul Master from the prestigious Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was defeated by a healing-type Soul Master.
The second person to appear from Team Tian Dou was Bai Xiaofei, while the third person to appear from Team Tian Dou II was Niu Kui. Bai Xiaofei easily defeated Niu Kui by relying on his agile flying ability and his deeper soul power.
Yang Yuxuan was the fourth member of Team Tiandou 2 to appear. After a hard-fought battle, Yang Yuxuan finally defeated Bai Xiaofei, thus ending the losing streak.
However, at this point in the match, it seems that things are a bit unfavorable for Tiandou Team 2, especially considering their tactics. It's likely that the last two players will have a tough time.
The fifth member of Team Tian Dou II to appear was Niu Meng, while the third member of Team Tian Dou I was surprisingly Ma Hongjun, who had never appeared before. Although Ma Hongjun only had level 35 soul power, his martial soul was a fire phoenix, which allowed him to fly at extremely high speeds. It was clear that Yu Xiaogang's tactic was to wear down the team and then use sneaky tactics to try and make the first three members of Team Tian Dou II as much as possible.
However, given Ma Hongjun's current soul power, fighting Niu Mengji is inherently very difficult. After all, Niu Mengji's soul power is now at level 45, and his strength and other aspects are excellent. After a battle, Ma Hongjun was at a disadvantage and could only rely on his flight ability to barely hold on.
Meanwhile, in the stands, Teacher Li Xiang quietly spoke to Yang Podi: "Podi, do you think we should change our tactics and let Niu Meng stay on the field for now, and continue fighting? He should still have enough soul power to fight another round, and there's even a good chance he can win."
Yang Podi shook his head: "There's no need. Since the tactics have already been decided in advance, there's no need to change them."
Teacher Li Xiang seemed a little worried and said, "In that case, Dugu Yan and Yang Ping'an will have to fight against Tang San, Tai Long, Dai Mubai, and Xiao Wu. The pressure on these two people will be too great."
Yang Podi simply smiled and said, "This is exactly the scenario I hope to encounter. How can one break through without pressure?"
Now, not only the Tian Dou Second Team, but many people are watching Dugu Yan, wondering when she will break through to the Soul King realm. If she does, then the Tian Dou Second Team will have at least two Soul Kings, truly qualified to challenge the Spirit Hall team.
For some unknown reason, perhaps due to excessive psychological pressure or external interference, Dugu Yan has been stuck at the peak of level 49 for almost two months, unable to complete the final breakthrough.
In fact, Yang Podi had plenty of ways to help Dugu Yan break through her limits, but he never took action. In Yang Podi's own eyes, breakthroughs achieved through combat and cultivation would be better for future cultivation and would allow him to better face future bottlenecks.
People will inevitably develop a certain degree of dependence; otherwise, if they encounter a bottleneck in the future, they will always think of using external forces to break through it, which will always be a case of more harm than good.
Moreover, Dugu Yan's innate soul power is level seven. Although it is the same as Yang Ping'an's innate soul power, Yang Ping'an has been taught by her since childhood. His courage in the face of difficulties, his diligence, and even his comprehension ability are much stronger than Dugu Yan's. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Yang Ping'an, who is two years younger than Dugu Yan, to break through to the Soul King first.
From this perspective, Tang San's strong-willed, even indomitable, personality propelled him to strive forward step by step. Even under immense pressure, he was able to fight beyond his level and break through his own limits, which is one of the fundamental reasons why Tang San was able to achieve such great success.
In the Soul Arena, Niu Meng fought a series of battles, and although he was somewhat weakened by Ma Hongjun, he still managed to win relatively easily.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Niu Meng, as if they wanted to see what the Tian Dou Second Team would do next.
But to everyone's surprise, Niu Meng walked off the stage without hesitation, even though he still had most of his soul power left.
On the other side, Yu Xiaogang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. If Niu Meng had continued fighting, he could have defeated another person, and even after defeating one, he could have consumed most of the soul power of the fifth member of the Heavenly Dou Team.
Meanwhile, Yang Podi, standing in the stands, said to Yang Ping'an beside him, "Today's match is crucial for Dugu Yan, but even more important for you. You will encounter an unprecedentedly powerful opponent, which will be the greatest test of your strength and will."
Yang Ping'an nodded, but looked at Tang San with a resolute expression. He was not only facing Tang San, but also one or even two Soul Masters. Tang San had shown amazing combat power in the preliminaries, with various self-created soul skills emerging one after another. In the eyes of all outsiders, Tang San had the combat power of a Soul King.
