On the competition stage.
Facing Tang San's self-assured binding attack,
Jin Mian retorted disdainfully, 'A piece of broken grass, and you're showing it off!'
As expected,
when Tang San heard the other party call his Blue Silver Grass 'broken grass,'
his anger soared instantly.
'Broken grass?'
'I really don't like your attitude or your words.'
'Next, I'm going to make you pay the price for what you just said!'
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai launched an attack from above and below.
'Don't worry, Little San, we'll help you vent this anger!'
'Kid, you dare call my Third Brother's Blue Silver Grass broken grass? Today I'll let you see how powerful my Evil Fire Phoenix is!'
'White Tiger Light Wave / Phoenix Ray!' x2
The two aimed at Jin Mian.
They each unleashed their third and first Spirit Ability.
'Insignificant tricks,' Jin Mian said in a relaxed tone.
With a slight exertion of his hands, he broke free from the Blue Silver Bind.
Then, extending two fingers, he effortlessly blocked the incoming attacks.
'What?!'
'How is that possible!'
This scene
left the Goulan Fire Phoenix and the Kidney-Deficient White Tiger utterly bewildered.
Especially Dai Mubai.
He thought that, after all, he was a Level 41 attack system Battle Spirit Ancestor.
How could his attack be blocked so easily?
However, that wasn't the most important thing.
For some reason, Dai Mubai felt that this person named Jin Mian was somewhat familiar.
But what was familiar was not the other person's appearance,
but rather the tone of voice he just used and his posture of not opening his Martial Soul at the start.
It seemed very much like a fellow they extremely loathed.
Coming back to the point,
after Jin Mian intercepted the attack, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
In the next second, he launched a direct attack.
His figure quickly moved to the rear of the Shrek team.
His target was also very clear:
Jiang Zhu, the only support system Healing Spirit Master in the opposing team.
There is an iron rule on the Douluo Continent.
In team combat,
no matter what kind of tactics are formulated,
prioritizing attacks on Support-type Soul Masters is indeed a common and crucial tactical choice.
Because support Soul Masters can provide powerful assistance such as healing and attribute buffs.
However, support Soul Masters usually have a weakness:
their own defense is as thin as paper,
and they have almost no means of attack.
They are the most fragile link in the team.
As long as they are defeated, the team loses its healer,
and will ultimately be doomed to defeat.
Seeing the opponent rushing over,
Huang Yuan, who was responsible for protecting Jiang Zhu,
immediately blocked the way in front.
The Lone Wolf Spirit rose behind him; after possession, three Soul Rings—two yellow and one purple—shimmered beneath his feet.
Unfortunately,
because the gap between the two was simply too large,
at the very moment of contact,
Huang Yuan let out a miserable scream, and his whole body was like a kite with a broken string,
flying backward and crashing heavily onto the ground.
The force was such that even the specially reinforced stage showed faint cracks.
Huang Yuan directly fainted away,
losing his ability to fight.
Meanwhile, Jiang Zhu had already fled the area.
Less than a minute into the fight, their side had already lost one combatant.
This caused Tang San and the others' faces to take on a solemn expression.
'No wonder this guy from the Spirit Hall dared to come up alone; it turns out he really does have some skill,' Dai Mubai said, shaking his aching arms.
Ma Hongjun looked at Tang San: 'Third Brother, what do we do?'
Tang San's brain worked rapidly.
He soon came up with a strategy: 'Next, we'll do this: Jiang Zhu, you perform healing Martial Soul Abilities without stopping. Hongjun, you conduct harassing attacks from the sky. Boss Dai, your strength is the greatest; you go face Jin Mian head-on.'
'Xiao Wu and Zhuqing will be responsible for support.'
'I will control him.'
'Good!' x5
In a corner where no one cared, Huang Yuan was forgotten by his teammates.
After formulating the new battle plan, Jiang Zhu summoned her Healing Scepter.
Three Soul Rings—two yellow and one purple—emerged from beneath her feet.
'Second Spirit Ability, Healing Array!'
'First Spirit Ability, Healing Halo!'
After setting up the regional array for continuous recovery and the Spirit Ability for area healing,
the Shrek group launched their attack according to the plan.
Ma Hongjun flew into the air, using Phoenix Ray to provide cover.
Tang San saw the opportunity and used Blue Silver Vines for control.
Dai Mubai advanced with large strides to perform a powerful attack.
To this,
Jin Mian smiled: 'A decent plan, but unfortunately, it's useless against me.'
As his voice fell,
he stomped his foot on the ground, and several pebbles were jolted into mid-air.
He picked up a pebble and used a Flicking Finger Divine Skill move against Ma Hongjun.
Whoosh—Bang!
Ma Hongjun was knocked down to the ground.
Then, he effortlessly tore apart Tang San's vines
and grabbed Dai Mubai's incoming punch.
With a squeeze,
'Ah, it hurts, hurts, hurts!' Dai Mubai's face contorted in pain.
'Mubai!' Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing
disregarded the established plan and hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him.
For this woman who was all brawn and no brains, Jin Mian showed no mercy.
He sent her flying with a single kick.
'Zhuqing!' Dai Mubai shouted, then used all his strength to break free from the restraint.
He hurriedly ran to Zhu Zhuqing's side to check on her.
Seeing that his girlfriend was mostly fine,
he finally felt relieved.
He turned his head and looked at Jin Mian fiercely: 'I'll fight you to the end!'
'Fourth Spirit Ability, White Tiger Light Wave!'
Dai Mubai leaped into the air.
Centering on himself,
he released countless light orbs the size of ping-pong balls, smashing them toward Jin Mian.
Facing this wide-range attack,
Jin Mian's gaze narrowed, and his figure quickly shot into the air.
After nimbly dodging the light orbs,
he clenched his fist and struck heavily at Dai Mubai's crotch!
For a moment, there seemed to be the sound of eggs cracking on the arena.
'Oh!!!!!!!!'
Dai Mubai's face contorted, and he let out an extremely tragic scream.
The sound was so heart-wrenching.
Jin Mian's attack didn't stop there.
He kicked the same spot again.
After being hit several times in succession,
Dai Mubai's pants began to turn red.
He was completely ruined.
In the stands,
Liu Erlong saw her student being beaten like this,
and her temper flared up immediately.
'That damned Spirit Hall brat, to actually strike so heavily!'
'This old lady must teach him a good lesson today!'
Liu Erlong rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush onto the stage to settle the score with Jin Mian.
Fortunately, Flender held this female dinosaur back.
'Erlong, calm down, calm down!'
'It's a match now; the rules state that one cannot interfere with a match in progress at will.'
'Otherwise...'
Before Flender could finish,
he was interrupted by Liu Erlong: 'Otherwise what? Mubai has been beaten like this; how can I, as his teacher, just stand by and watch?'
'Old Flender, how have you become more and more cowardly?'
'It's just a damn competition; at worst, we just won't participate.'
'Erlong, don't be impulsive.'
Yu Xiaogang spoke up to persuade her, and only then did Liu Erlong sit down reluctantly.
Seeing this, Flender immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang and said, 'Xiaogang, are you just going to watch the people from the Spirit Hall bully our Shrek students?'
'Of course not,' Yu Xiaogang said in a deep tone.
He then added, 'However, the Spirit Hall's methods are too cruel; we can go and report him, causing them to lose their eligibility to participate.'
After speaking,
Yu Xiaogang got up to go to the Arbitration Group to file a complaint...
