Shrek's bizarre formation made everyone curious, especially the newly appearing Soul Master. They hadn't shown up even once throughout the entire preliminary and promotion tournaments, so they didn't seem like a surprise tactic.
But Yang Xiong knew very well, and even everyone in Shrek knew very well, that this person was the key to victory.
This person was Ye Lingling, whose Martial Soul was Nine Star Begonia, and her soul power was level thirty-nine.
According to Yang Xiong's plan, the Shi family brothers, Dai Mubai, and Yu Tianheng would be at the very front. Shi Mo and Shi Mo's Martial Soul, the Black Tortoise Turtle, had extremely strong defense, but their flexibility was relatively poor, and their reaction speed was also average.
Standing beside them were Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng, whose combat abilities were outstanding and could basically compensate for the shortcomings of Shi Mo and Shi Mo.
Yang Xiong was in the second phase of the team, basically acting as an agility-attack type Soul Master, immediately filling in wherever there was a problem.
Finally, Tang San controlled the field and protected Ye Lingling, while Yang Xiong would also protect Ye Lingling at all times.
With Ye Lingling's Nine Star Begonia healing, this lineup was practically indestructible and unchewable. No matter how strong Feng Xiaotian and the others were, as long as everyone wasn't defeated, the opponents would only be worn down to death.
As expected, as soon as the match began, Feng Xiaotian's Gale Wolf's claws unleashed countless wind blades, as if trying to break up Shrek's formation.
But the Shi family brothers stood at the very front, not even needing to use soul skills. They directly summoned their Martial Soul, the Black Tortoise Turtle. The two of them didn't even use soul skills; ordinary wind blades hitting the Black Tortoise Turtle were like an itch, unable to even break through their defense.
Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian, along with two attack-type Soul Masters, charged forward, but were directly held back by Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and the Shi family brothers. Instead, Feng Xiaotian and the others showed a tendency to be pushed back.
Before the opponents could react, Ye Lingling had already summoned a giant Nine Star Begonia. A green light instantly merged into everyone's bodies, and the slight damage from the previous collision was instantly healed.
And Tang San's Blue Silver Grass didn't attack the enemies. Whether facing fire-attribute Soul Masters or wind-attribute Soul Masters, the Blue Silver Grass attacking the enemies would have no effect. It was better to control the field and support everyone present.
Facing the change in Shrek Team's tactics, the new Divine Wind Team was also stunned. This change in fighting style was too great, as if they were completely two different teams.
Feng Xiaotian's expression tightened, and he directly used his First Soul Skill: Wind Blade Array. Instantly, countless wind blades flew out again, and compared to the previous ordinary attacks, their power was much greater and their speed was also faster.
And Huo Wushuang also activated his First Soul Skill: Tyrant Dragon Flame. Instantly, countless flames flew out, directly charging towards the Shrek members.
Especially since the two's soul skills seemed to be coordinated, the power of both the wind blades and the flames increased significantly, and there was even a faint tendency for explosion between the wind and fire.
Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng didn't make any moves, and even Tang San didn't make any moves.
The Shi family brothers exchanged glances, their bodies shrinking slightly. The area where their torso was originally located actually turned into a thick turtle shell. The turtle shell looked unusually ancient, but also extremely heavy.
The Shi family brothers directly withstood Huo Wushuang's flames and Feng Xiaotian's wind blades head-on, and only left some marks on the turtle shell, their bodies retreating several meters.
As expected of a top-grade defense-type Martial Soul like the Black Tortoise Turtle, it was able to directly take Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang's First Soul Skills, and didn't look injured at all.
Immediately after, the Nine Star Begonia instantly sent out a green light onto the Shi family brothers. The slight marks on their turtle shells instantly disappeared without a trace.
Huo Wushuang: ...
Feng Xiaotian: ...
Just as Yang Xiong had predicted, this purely turned into a battle of offense and defense attrition. Both sides fought non-stop, but as long as the Shrek Team suffered a little injury, they would immediately be healed by Ye Lingling.
The Shrek members even deliberately didn't use soul skills much, trying to use Self-Created Soul Skills or physical attacks as much as possible, like a giant turtle shell that the new Divine Wind Team couldn't even get a handle on.
As expected of defense-type Soul Ancestors like the Shi family brothers, they could not only withstand wind blades, but were not even afraid of being burned by fire, making the opponents jump with frustration.
After more than twenty minutes, both sides were still fighting non-stop, but it was obvious that the new Divine Wind Team had fallen into a defensive trap. They were actively attacking and used many offensive soul skills, consuming much more soul power.
Feng Xiaotian gritted his teeth and flew directly into the air. Huo Wu also sent a huge flame towards Feng Xiaotian.
Feng Xiaotian was clearly going to use his Self-Created Soul Skill, Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes, again, especially with the assistance of Huo Wu and others, the power between wind and fire was even greater.
Looking at him, he seemed to want to attack with all his might, trying his best to break through the Shrek team's defensive formation.
Shi Mo and Shi Mo, the two brothers, exchanged glances and directly blocked Feng Xiaotian. They both let out a low roar simultaneously: "Shield Transformation."
The turtle shells on the Shi brothers' chests and backs strangely separated, moving into their hands and transforming into two massive turtle shell shields, each a meter in diameter. This was their Second Soul Skill: Shield Transformation.
Feng Xiaotian's Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes became faster and faster. Each strike landed on the Shi brothers' shields, causing countless cracks to appear on the shields. It was clear that with their strength, they couldn't withstand Feng Xiaotian's full power attack.
It must be said that the Black Tortoise Turtle is also a top-tier Martial Soul. In fact, purely in terms of combat power, the Shi brothers weren't much weaker than Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng, especially their defense which was even superior to Yu Tianheng's. Unfortunately, their speed and other aspects had too obvious weaknesses, which is why they weren't as dazzling.
Ye Lingling also fully supported the Shi brothers. Green light quickly merged into the Shi brothers' bodies, allowing them to recover as much as possible.
However, with Huo Wu's assistance, the power of Feng Xiaotian's Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes doubled. From the perspective of strength, he had probably reached the Soul King level. Especially since the power of each strike of the Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes could stack, the later strikes were more powerful.
By the twenty-fourth strike, the Shi brothers were already struggling to hold on.
But the two roared and directly used their Fourth Soul Skill: Black Tortoise Defense, still trying to desperately resist. However, Feng Xiaotian was now completely unstoppable, directly breaking through their defense and even sending both of them flying.
The Shi brothers coughed up blood and knelt on the ground on one knee, appearing to be seriously injured.
Yang Xiong and the others exchanged glances. His speed was extremely fast, and he immediately took the Shi brothers' original position.
Feng Xiaotian shouted loudly: "Yang Xiong, you're finally willing to show yourself. I'd like to see how strong your defense really is."
A cold smile appeared on Yang Xiong's face: "I also want to see how powerful your Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes are."
Yang Xiong's entire body turned silver, his muscles bulged, and his muscles and bones seemed to harden in an instant. This was his Self-Created Soul Skill: Steel Tendons Iron Bones.
Facing each of Feng Xiaotian's strikes, Yang Xiong directly swung his fists to block, forcing him back.
But Feng Xiaotian used the force against him, each strike stronger than the last. Especially by the final strike, no matter how strong Yang Xiong's body was, he seemed to be struggling to hold on.
At the last moment, Feng Xiaotian roared, his Fourth Soul Ring flashing. In addition to the original Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes, he also used his Fourth Soul Skill: Demon Wolf Storm.
At the same instant, Huo Wu and the others also gave their all. Huo Wu directly used her Fourth Soul Skill: Huo Wu Illuminating Sun.
The wind and fire almost covered the entire arena. Even if everyone couldn't dodge, it was like a giant sun descending from the sky within a tornado, completely unlike the strength a Soul Ancestor could achieve.
Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai exchanged glances. They quickly brought the Shi brothers to Ye Lingling and Tang San's side, each using their strongest Soul Skill. Dai Mubai used his Fourth Soul Skill: White Tiger Meteor Shower, desperately attacking the descending attack.
The Shi brothers gritted their teeth and re-summoned their Black Tortoise Turtle to block in front of everyone. Tang San also used the Blue Silver Hurricane Array. The Blue Silver Grass directly wrapped everyone, forming a giant cocoon-like object.
Green light emanated from Ye Lingling, rapidly healing everyone.
In contrast, Yang Xiong was like being in the eye of a storm. Not only did he have to face Feng Xiaotian's attack alone, but also Huo Wu's Huo Wu Illuminating Sun. Even the audience broke out in a cold sweat for Yang Xiong.
At this critical moment, a giant Rasengan appeared in Yang Xiong's hand. This Rasengan was entirely gold, and its entire body was a full fifty centimeters, looking extremely terrifying.
Yang Xiong knew very well that he was only level thirty-nine after all, and simultaneously dealing with these two top-tier Fourth Soul Skills was a bit too much. He might even get injured.
Rather than that, it was better to fight with all his might. Holding the giant gold Rasengan, he struck out with full force, not fearing Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian at all.
As the two sides collided, the entire arena seemed to explode. Even the hard arena floor had a large pit appear. Feng Xiaotian lay in the large pit, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, appearing to be seriously injured.
Yang Xiong stood not far from him. However, relatively speaking, although Yang Xiong's body looked a little scorched and even had some scratches, he was completely fine.
Especially after Ye Lingling's green light merged into his body, Yang Xiong's wounds recovered visibly, and his injuries quickly disappeared without a trace.
The other Shrek members, who were hiding at the edge of the arena, did not suffer a direct impact, and their condition was relatively good.
However, Ye Lingling seemed to have exhausted her soul power. It appeared that continuously healing multiple people was indeed too draining on soul power.
Compared to the Shrek team, the new Divine Wind Team was in a more miserable state. Feng Xiaotian was lying directly on the ground, Huo Wu and the two support members were also out of soul power, leaving only Huo Wushuang and two others with a bit of fighting strength.
Feng Xiaotian looked at Yang Xiong's face with a hint of unwillingness. "Yang Xiong, are you sure you can block my attack? Is your self-created soul skill more powerful than mine?"
Yang Xiong looked at Feng Xiaotian and couldn't help but sigh. "Why are you doing this? If you had followed your Divine Wind Academy's original tactics, it would have been very difficult for any team to defeat you. Why did you create this awkward lineup?"
Feng Xiaotian smiled bitterly. "I understand now. Perhaps I was wrong from the start, but I will never regret it. If I have the chance next time, I will challenge you alone. By then, I will definitely not lose to you again."
After saying this, Feng Xiaotian seemed completely relieved and fainted directly on the stage.
Huo Wushuang and the others, however, were unwilling to accept defeat and still wanted to attack with all their might, perhaps to salvage a bit of face.
But the six members of Shrek, except for Ye Lingling, had not suffered much damage. Even the Shi Family brothers still had some fighting ability after Ye Lingling's treatment.
Soon, all the members of the new Divine Wind Team were knocked off the stage. Even the extremely strong-willed Huo Wu was knocked unconscious by Dai Mubai with a slap.
The crowd was in an uproar. On one hand, Yang Xiong's combat power was too formidable. A mere Soul Ancestor was actually a match for Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu.
Especially the Shrek team's tactics were clearly very successful. Relying on their strong defense, they slowly wore down the new Divine Wind Team. Even if Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu hadn't attacked with all their might, it would have been a matter of time before they lost.
Of course, the most surprising thing was Ye Lingling's terrifying healing ability, which could be said to be the key to supporting the entire battle.
It could be said that the most dazzling individuals in the entire battle were Yang Xiong and Ye Lingling.
For Yang Xiong himself, this battle was nothing. He had only used about seventy percent of his strength, not to mention his various trump cards.
As a transmigrator, although he had always wanted to keep a low profile, who with strength wouldn't want to prove themselves to the world?
