Chapter 109: Artillery Barrage!
On the Soul Arena, the five members of the Soul Master class adopted a 2-2-1 formation.
At the front were Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei, followed by Shui Ling and Gu Yuena.
At the very back is Huo Yuhao, who, with only two Soul Rings, can only serve as a support-type Soul Master.
On the other hand, the five Soul Masters of the opposing reserve team were arranged in a two-three formation.
At the front were Zhou Xinghao and Meng Yuxiang, and the three behind them were Shi Xing, Xiao Ping, and Xiao Yuheng.
With Ren Jun's announcement of "Start the match," the five-on-five team battle officially began.
Both sides immediately began to move, and in an instant, they all activated their Martial Souls. One after another, Soul Rings appeared on the Soul Arena, with yellow and purple colors shining brightly.
Several dense spots of light appeared on Zhou Xinghao and Meng Yuxiang's bodies, and then, with a sound of metal friction and mechanical movement, the two of them had changed drastically.
Both of them were covered in various soul tools, and the alloy bases beneath their feet stretched out like living things, firmly fixed to the ground. Their bodies were also protected by metal shields.
At the same time, metal tubes of varying sizes and lengths extended from their shoulders, chests, ribs, and legs, turning both of them into "metal hedgehogs".
Seeing the changes in the two, the expressions of the Soul Masters on the other side also changed.
As students in the Soul Master class, they do not need to learn how to make Soul Tools, but they do have specialized courses on the knowledge and use of Soul Tools.
Therefore, they immediately recognized that the other party was from a major school of Soul Masters, called the Fortress School or the Turret Tactics.
This artillery tactic emphasizes firepower coverage, and its destructive power far surpasses that of Soul Masters of the same level before reaching the Soul Saint level.
Upon seeing the two artillery emplacements set up on the opposite side, Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei, who were originally charging forward, instantly changed their tactics.
They stopped moving forward, but instead of turning back, they ran to the left and right respectively.
When facing enemy artillery, spreading out is undoubtedly the best course of action.
If everyone is together, the enemy could wipe them out with a single concentrated attack.
This was a tactic devised by the five Soul Masters in the reserve team after discussion. By using the suppression of Soul Power level, they would launch the Soul Guidance Cannons to cover the area from the start, maximizing their advantages and aiming to achieve victory in one fell swoop!
As Zhou Xinghao and Meng Yuxiang's spirit rings were lit one after another, their spirit power surged and their aura soared.
All the various gun barrels and cannon barrels around the Soul Guidance Cannon Turret lit up with dazzling colors.
The two seemed to transform into a small sun, and then, amidst a series of booming sounds, their soul tools instantly unleashed hundreds of attacks, with a barrage of fire raining down on the opposing side like a shower of light.
And this attack wasn't just a single round. With the continuous roar of the soul tools, the two were preparing to consume all their soul power and launch all their soul tool attacks!
In the spectator area above the arena, Xiao Hongchen watched the situation below, a slight smile unconsciously curving his lips: "Smart!"
His comment was naturally directed at his teammates in the reserve team.
They had already been confirmed as members of the reserve team, but this battle is not only a challenge to their strength, but also a fight to take away their reserve team status.
Faced with this situation, they not only have to win, but they have to win spectacularly!
This is the only way to uphold their dignity as senior students!
That's why they adopted this relentless fighting style. This is no longer an ordinary match; it's a battle for opportunity!
Watching his classmates from the Soul Master class about to be engulfed by the barrage of artillery fire, Kong Xuan remained completely calm, as if he already knew they had a way to deal with it.
On the Soul Arena, Xu Wei activated his first Soul Skill, transforming into a bolt of lightning that darted across the arena.
Even with his beast spirit in possession, Xu Tianyi's tall body was agile enough to dodge the attacks of the soul tool.
The reason the two were able to dodge the enemy's barrage so precisely was because of Huo Yuhao, the seemingly inconspicuous second-ring Great Soul Master standing at the very back of their team.
With the assistance of Huo Yuhao's first soul skill, Spiritual Detection Sharing, the so-called firepower coverage is not without its limitations.
As a control-type Soul Master, Shui Ling's Martial Soul Threads were already wrapped around the waists of each of her teammates. Even if her teammates couldn't dodge, she could pull them away at any time.
However, Shui Ling's martial soul can help control her teammates, but she cannot control herself.
Even if she sensed the danger, her own speed would likely be too slow to dodge, making her the one in the most danger.
However, this is not insurmountable, as she still has Gu Yuena protecting her.
Under Gu Yuena's control, the first and second spirit rings lit up simultaneously.
Fireballs, ice spikes, wind blades, earth blocks...
Attacks of various attributes appeared out of thin air in front of Shui Ling, meeting the incoming soul-guided attacks head-on.
Shui Ling's eyes were slightly closed, but with the help of the spiritual threads and Huo Yuhao's assistance, she had a thorough understanding of the entire Soul Arena.
She manipulated the magical threads to ensure the safety of her teammates.
Explosions continued to erupt in front of and above her, the energy fluctuations from the collisions creating gusts of wind that sent her long hair flying everywhere.
However, her calm and composed demeanor did make this scene resemble a classic movie scene.
Shui Ling's indifference to the opponent's attacks kept Ren Jun, who was acting as the referee in mid-air, on edge.
He dared not relax for a moment, for fear that if he wasn't careful, Shui Ling would get hurt.
As it turns out, Gu Yuena was quite reliable.
Under her protection, Mizuhime was unharmed until the turret's attack ceased.
However, the corresponding cost is that Gu Yuena has consumed a lot of energy, and she may not be able to easily make a move next.
But by comparison, the other side seems to be at a greater disadvantage!
Because Zhou Xinghao and Meng Yuxiang had exhausted their soul power, the opposing team's five members had essentially lost two members.
Moreover, they consumed all the soul power of two Soul Masters, but did not cause any substantial damage to the opponent at all. It can be said that they suffered a huge loss.
In the spectator area of the Soul Arena, Ma Sheng showed an interested expression and muttered, "Interesting!"
To be honest, Ma Sheng didn't pay much attention to the students in the Soul Master class before the war started.
In other words, he didn't think they could win!
But now, Ma Sheng's thinking has changed.
These students in the Soul Master class used their strength to change Ma Sheng's mind.
Standing next to Kong Xuan, Xiao Hongchen, who had been all smiles and looked confident of victory, now had his smile frozen on his face.
"How...how could this happen?!"
Xiao Hongchen couldn't understand how the five members of the Soul Master Class managed to remain almost unscathed in the face of the full-scale attack from the two artillery emplacements and the overwhelming barrage of artillery fire!
Meng Hongchen had no interest in her teammates' wins or losses. At this moment, she turned her head to look at Kong Xuan, who had a calm expression, with admiration shining in her eyes, as if to say, "He is indeed the man I have my eye on!"
