Chapter 206 One-Hit Kill
This scene amused everyone, and the tense atmosphere eased considerably.
"Alright, alright, Rachel, things haven't gotten to that point yet. After all, we still have quite a few trump cards up our sleeves, don't we?" Luo Yu habitually tapped the table, stopping the eager Rachel.
Upon hearing this, Rachel withdrew her fist and said, "But Captain, are you really confident? Shrek's freaks, two people with a fusion martial soul skill, and that captain who's like a tyrannosaurus, not to mention the Tang Sect pair who were last year's champions."
"Don't worry, the reason I called you all here is for this matter. What you really care about is how we should respond. Before I analyze it, I need to ask you a few questions, which will determine the tactical style I will assign you in the future. Jingpeng, you're the first one."
A man with short, light blond hair and a serious expression stood out. He was slightly shorter than Luo Yu, standing at around 1.7 meters tall. His black eyes remained completely still, but he immediately stood up after hearing Luo Yu call his name.
"Jingpeng, as a defensive Soul Master, if Captain Shrek is about to break through our defenses, and you only have two choices: one, block all the attacks, but you're very likely to lose all your fighting ability, or even die; two, dodge the attack and cooperate with your teammates to redirect it to someone who can withstand it, like me. Jingpeng, tell me, which choice do you make?"
The first option would leave our team without protection, potentially leading to our entire team's defeat. The second option would also put our team in danger, and I might even become incapacitated under enemy attack.
Looking at the young man in front of him, who was not tall but had inherited Mika's fighting style in Mingde Hall, Luo Yu wondered if he would also wear heavy armor and withstand their fierce attacks, just like Mika did when he faced Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng.
"I choose the first one." Jing Peng paused for a moment, then continued, "I saw that battle five years ago. If it weren't for that guy named Su Yu using his Martial Soul Fusion Technique, the Sun Moon Empire definitely wouldn't have lost the final battle. Captain, I understand what you mean. As a defensive Soul Master, even if I die, I will die before you. Unless they kill me on the field, I will never back down!"
His words reflected the sentiments of all the participating team members present.
Why has the Sun Moon Empire always been defeated by Shrek Academy for eight thousand years? Why can't they win even once?
This is a humiliating history, a history of defeat for which they were willing to pay the price with their lives...
The headmaster from decades ago, them decades later, and generations of senior students...
…………
A tear fell onto the conference table. Jing Peng's eyes were slightly red. He clenched his fists and looked at Luo Yu. "Captain, we'll win, right?"
"Yes, it will, it definitely will..." Luo Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This was the spirit that the Sun Moon Empire had passed down for thousands of years.
Yes, we won't lose!
Because this time, I need to use this battle to help me rise to the top ranks of the Sun Moon Empire more quickly, until I can become a key minister of Xu Tianran. Only in this way can my plan be fully implemented.
The subsequent questions all received nearly similar answers, because they were all prepared to sacrifice themselves. For them, this was a life-or-death battle, a battle in which they had to defend their honor with their lives!
"Ten days from now, we'll be facing the Shrek Academy team. If it's not Shrek, then it'll be the Tang Sect team. That's pretty obvious. If we encounter the Tang Sect team, the worst-case scenario is that Huo Yuhao, who has mastered the Body Sect's ultimate techniques, is stronger than Su Yu, or perhaps their team has other Martial Soul Fusion Techniques. However, these aren't the most important things."
At this point, Luo Yu looked at Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen and continued, "Having fought against them once before, if we were to face them again, without using our soul-guided protective shields, what are your chances of defeating Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei together?"
"This..." Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen hesitated.
"Alright, since this question is difficult to answer, let me try another one. Do you think your mortal attachments are stronger than the Netherworld White Tiger, which is of the same level as you?" Luo Yu continued to ask, this time the question was more stressful than the previous one.
Tick.
A drop of sweat from tension fell onto the floor of the conference room, creating an atmosphere of particular tension in the otherwise silent space.
"I don't know either, but..." Xiao Hongchen's eyes flashed, and he continued, "While I'm not entirely confident I can defeat the Netherworld White Tiger head-on, I think at least Meng Hongchen and I won't lose to them. As for why, I can tell you, there's no why!"
"Luo Yu, believe me, even if we face any of the teams you mentioned, we won't lose!" Meng Hongchen stood up proudly, just like when she first stood on the field, arrogant and confident.
They were both unparalleled geniuses, standing at the very top of the pyramid even within Shrek Academy's inner courtyard. Tragically, in the original story, they encountered the overpowered Huo Yuhao.
Looking at the two who had regained their confidence, Luo Yu didn't say anything more. Seeing that everyone had shaken off their previous gloom and were all eager to compete, looking forward to the final in ten days.
Perhaps this is the spirit that the Sun Moon Empire has inherited for countless generations. It is in the Hall Master, in the Red Dust Family, and in every student of the Sun Moon Empire...
"The rest is up to you. Ten days from now, I will lead you to face Shrek Academy and utterly defeat them in the arena. I will show the world a truth through my actions: the Shrek era is over! The future belongs to our Sun Moon Empire!"
…………
The next day.
"In the individual elimination round, the first player from each side takes the stage!"
As soon as the referee gave the order, a tall and muscular young man from the Sun and Moon team jumped onto the stage. The opponent was stunned when he saw Rachel, who was nearly two meters tall and had exaggerated muscles under his clothes.
Today's opponent is a sect called Tianjia Sect. If Luo Yu were here right now, he would definitely denounce the butterfly effect.
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Rachel."
"Han Yu of the Heavenly Armor Sect."
After listening to the referee's monotonous rules, both sides stepped back to prepare for the match.
Looking at Han Yu across from him, Rachel no longer felt the excitement she had when she first participated in the competition.
My goal is not just to defeat you, but to defeat the Shrek Team and those guys from the Tang Sect. One day, I will make the captain's words a reality, and you will pay the price for your contempt.
A delicate short sword soul tool appeared in Rachel's hand, and a strong fighting spirit instantly erupted between the two. In Rachel's light blue eyes, Han Yu's astonished expression was reflected.
"The match begins!" the referee announced.
Rachel dashed out at a speed completely out of proportion to his size. No one expected that this muscular man with an exaggerated physique was actually an agility-type Soul Master. Not only Han Yu was surprised, but the Tang Sect team and Shrek team, who were observing the Sun Moon team from the sidelines, were also slightly taken aback.
Two yellow, two purple, and one black.
Five spirit rings rapidly rose from Rachel's feet. The first spirit ring lit up quickly, and Rachel's speed increased dramatically as she charged toward Han Yu at an incredibly fast pace.
Soul King!
Han Yu didn't dare to be careless and quickly released his martial soul. It was the same familiar soul ring configuration: two yellow, two purple, and one black.
The subsequent battles put immense pressure on both the Shrek Academy team and the Tang Clan members, as the ensuing battles completely overturned their predictions about the Sun Moon Team's strength.
One after another, perfectly fitting hexagonal armor plates shot out from Han Yu's body, then condensed in front of him, forming a hexagonal shield. Before Han Yu could make any further moves, Rachel, using the powerful propulsion provided by the flying soul tool, had already rushed in front of Han Yu.
clang!
With a crisp sound, Rachel's level seven soul-guided dagger pierced Han Yu's martial soul shield. Before Han Yu could retaliate, Rachel's attack was withdrawn, instantly creating distance between them.
"No, Rachel is an agility-type Soul Master, but his weapon is actually a Soul Guidance Device. Wait, how can this kind of battle be so..." Huo Yuhao looked at these scenes in disbelief.
This fighting style is clearly different from the previous battles of the Sun and Moon Team!
This combination gave him the illusion of returning to the time when Shrek Academy students chose to combine their martial soul with their soul guide.
"Captain, can Rachel really defeat Han Yu?" Looking at Rachel who was being constantly pushed back on the field, Lu Jiuyu asked nervously.
Luo Yu didn't answer him, but said calmly, "No rush. Haven't you noticed that Rachel hasn't used any other soul tools so far?"
Jing Peng also realized what was happening and stammered, "Captain, you mean...?"
"Alright, alright, no wonder you're not as good as Rachel. Watch carefully and learn from her. I said years ago that soul tools would be the mainstream in the future, and you also need to understand how to use soul tools correctly." Luo Yu didn't say anything more and continued to look at the arena.
The martial souls of the Heavenly Armor Sect are basically Heavenly Armor Shields. Fortunately, thanks to the powerful defensive capabilities of the Heavenly Armor Shields, Rachel's attack only left many shallow marks on the surface of the Heavenly Armor Shields, and had no effect on Han Yu himself.
"Sizzle!"
A piercing sound rang out again, and another deep scratch appeared on the surface of the Heavenly Armor Shield. Han Yu couldn't dodge in time, and his sleeve was sliced in half by the sharp soul-guided dagger. At the same time, Han Yu's second soul ring lit up, and sixteen hexagonal armor plates suddenly flew out, heading straight for Rachel.
Dodge, defend, counterattack.
Rachel accomplished this series of actions with just a soul-guided dagger, using her speed advantage to dodge Han Yu's second soul skill attack.
Using his second soul skill, Han Yu increased the distance between himself and Rachel. Before Rachel could launch another attack, flames ignited on the surface of the shattered Heavenly Armor Shield, and with a piercing whistling sound, they swept rapidly toward Rachel.
clang!
Raising his dagger to block the first flying armor plate, two streaks of blue-purple flames ignited behind Rachel. Using the power of his flying soul tool, he gained altitude and dodged the sixteen meteor-fire armor plates. The blue-purple trails of flame provided Rachel with powerful propulsion, causing his speed to rapidly increase.
Rachel left the sixteen pieces of Meteor Flame Armor far behind. Rachel knew that as an agility-type Soul Master, or, in the words of the three great empires, an agility-attack type Soul Master, once his speed was restricted, he would inevitably be defeated. Therefore, he resorted to his previous method, using a flying Soul Tool to greatly enhance his speed advantage.
This scene left Han Yu dumbfounded. He had thought that his Meteor Fire Armor would strike in one blow, then limit Rachel's speed before launching a close-range surprise attack, thus securing victory. However, after Rachel used her flying soul tool, he realized that his third soul skill had become completely useless.
Rachel was too fast, or rather, the soul tool Rachel used was too fast!
Just as Rachel broke through the Heavenly Armor Shield's blockade in mid-air and was about to dive down, Han Yu's fourth spirit ring lit up, and the Heavenly Armor Shield's surface changed from convex to concave, with numerous red fire-attribute lights reflecting off the mirror-like armor plates.
Fourth Soul Skill: Heavenly Armor Needle!
This is a single-target attack soul skill with extremely powerful destructive force. Han Yu knew that he could not achieve a counterattack effect by limiting Rachel's speed, but all he could do was launch a counterattack when Rachel attacked him.
A red light grew larger and larger in front of Rachel's eyes. As the Heavenly Armor Needle drew closer, Rachel's breathing became rapid.
Ten meters, five meters, four meters, three meters...
Fourth Soul Skill: Shadow Strike!
A flash of red light appeared, and Rachel vanished from the air as the Heavenly Armor Needle pierced the soul-guiding protective shield of the arena. A dark shadow narrowly missed the Heavenly Armor Needle, and a black thread connected to Han Yu's brow. At this moment, Rachel was completely hidden in the shadow.
Click!
Centered on Han Yu's chest, a bloody light appeared, and Han Yu's clothes tore open, revealing a deep wound on his left rib. A large amount of blood gushed out from the torn flesh, and a heart could be faintly seen beating in the wound!
One strike, one kill!
The "Heavily Indebted" series and the "In My Lifetime" series.
I'm thinking about new members for the Sun and Moon team, emmm...
