Chapter 217: Battle of Skywater, Who Can Keep the Winning Streak?
The 16th round of the qualifiers had arrived, and by now, more than half of the matches were already over.
Among all participating teams, only Thunder Academy, where Yu Tianlin was, and Skywater Academy, where Shui Bing'er was, had maintained a 15 match winning streak. The 2 teams were tied for 1st place.
But in this 16th round, a result would finally be decided. Only 1 team would be able to continue winning, while the other team's streak would be cut off on the spot.
Most viewers favored Thunder Academy, because Yu Tianlin's strength was undeniable. However, Skywater Academy was made up entirely of beautiful girls and had an equally devoted fanbase. So even before the battle began, supporters from both sides were already arguing.
Those arguments only added more fuel to the fire, making the atmosphere even hotter before the clash.
At this moment, in Thunder Academy's rest area, Yu Tianlin's gaze swept over his teammates.
"This is the battle plan," he said. "I'll go out with you. I'll handle Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu. The 6 of you will take care of the other 5 from Skywater Academy. Any questions?"
"Captain." Lei Tian spoke the moment Yu Tianlin finished. "Shui Bing'er is Skywater Academy's captain and extremely strong. It makes sense for you to deal with her personally. But isn't Xue Wu a support type Spirit Master? Why do you need to target her too?"
"I have the Thunder Eagle Martial Soul and can fly. Wouldn't it be better if I use my aerial advantage to surprise Xue Wu?"
Having finally gotten the chance to fight alongside a powerhouse like Yu Tianlin, Lei Tian was clearly excited and eager to show off.
After hearing his words, the other teammates also looked at Yu Tianlin with questions in their eyes. They felt Lei Tian's approach sounded more reasonable.
"You can't break through Xue Wu," Yu Tianlin replied simply.
Seeing that the doubt still hadn't faded, he could only continue.
"Since you all want to know that badly, I'll tell you."
Yu Tianlin paused for a moment, as if choosing his words carefully. "Give me 1 second."
Then he said calmly, "Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu have a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Only I can handle it. So you only need to deal with the other 5."
"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?!" The Thunder Academy members were stunned.
It had to be said, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu were both 4 ring Spirit Ancestors. If they truly had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they could definitely unleash combat power comparable to a 6 ring Spirit Emperor.
Skywater Academy possessed such a trump card, yet Thunder Academy had never heard even a rumor about it. Clearly, Skywater Academy had hidden it extremely well and never exposed it publicly. That level of patience alone was frightening.
While Thunder Academy was still digesting that shock, a discussion was also happening in Skywater Academy's rest area, the very team they were talking about.
A long haired girl asked, "Captain, what tactics are we using today?"
"Of course!" Shui Yue'er waved her small hand before her sister could answer. "Yu Tianlin will definitely come out alone again. We'll seize the chance and teach him a lesson, see if he still dares to act so arrogant!"
"Besides Yu Tianlin, the others from Thunder Academy will be participating this time." Shui Bing'er was silent for a moment, then spoke. "This is what I discussed with Yu Tianlin yesterday, a 7 vs 7 battle."
"Captain, you…" The other Skywater Academy members all looked surprised. Only Xue Wu smiled faintly, as if this was completely within her expectations.
As partners in a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, the 2 of them understood each other well. Xue Wu knew exactly what Shui Bing'er was thinking.
"Let's go all out this time," Shui Bing'er said softly. "Let's use that move…"
Soon, the 16th round officially began. Yu Yuanzhen and Emperor Xueye took their seats in the VIP section early.
Seeing Yu Yuanzhen present, the audience's anticipation rose even higher. If he was here, it almost certainly meant Yu Tianlin would be on the field.
It was worth noting that Yu Tianlin had defeated Blazing Fire Academy and Elephant Armor Academy by himself. Now that he was facing Skywater Academy, the crowd was naturally curious.
Could he create another miracle and defeat 7 opponents alone again?
The host understood exactly what the audience wanted, so he kept stirring their emotions.
"16 rounds have been played in this qualifier, and so far, only 2 teams have maintained an undefeated streak, Thunder Academy and Skywater Academy. But today, they finally meet, which means 1 of them will lose that streak right here. Which team will it be?"
"We can see that Clan Master Yu of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is here to watch today's battle. That means Yu Tianlin, Thunder Academy's strongest offensive contestant, will definitely take the field. Will he still be able to defeat 7 opponents alone and win again? Let's wait and see!"
After a long buildup, the host raised his voice. "Now, please welcome both teams to the arena!"
As the host finished speaking, Thunder Academy and Skywater Academy walked out from their rest areas, approaching the central arena from opposite sides.
When the host saw that all 7 members of Thunder Academy had come out this time, not just Yu Tianlin, he was as surprised as the audience. But he reacted quickly and immediately began explaining it from a safe, steady angle.
After stepping onto the arena, and at the referee's signal, the 2 teams lined up and bowed to each other.
As captains, Yu Tianlin and Shui Bing'er naturally stood opposite one another. When they bowed and their eyes met, a strange feeling quietly rose between them.
This really looks like…
To break that awkward sensation, Yu Tianlin spoke first. "Yu Tianlin, captain of Thunder Academy, level 49 Power Attack type Spirit Ancestor."
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er smiled and replied politely, "Shui Bing'er, captain of Skywater Academy, level 43 control type battle Spirit Ancestor."
Both sides were courteous, and there wasn't much tension in the air. That made the referee relax slightly. Still, he didn't delay.
"Both sides, prepare to release your Martial Souls!"
The moment the order fell, both teams moved at the same time. Their momentum collided as each side formed its formation.
Thunder Academy's members were all lightning attribute Spirit Masters, known for overwhelming offense, so their lineup naturally carried an aggressive pressure.
Skywater Academy's formation was balanced between attack and defense, with 3 strong attackers in front, a control type in the middle, 2 agile attackers on the left and right, and a support type in the back.
