The next day, the second round of the preliminary competition began.
After arriving at his seat, Ning Bei glanced at Salas next to Xue Ye. The other party clearly felt his gaze and tensed up, then returned to normal, pretending not to notice Ning Bei's observation.
With a chuckle, Ning Bei had no interest in causing him trouble and turned his gaze to the arena.
This time, the Royal Fight Second Team's opponent was Tianshui Academy, a team entirely composed of girls.
Ning Bei understood that this team's strength was definitely among the best in this preliminary competition, consisting of three Soul Elders and four high-level Soul Grandmasters.
The captain and vice-captain also possessed a Spirit Fusion Skill, making them a good touchstone for the little ones.
The battle with Tianshui Academy was scheduled for the fourth match. After watching three boring, family-like battles, it was finally their team's turn.
Ning Bei immediately perked up, turning his gaze to the player passage as the host introduced them.
Ning Bei wasn't sure if he had misheard, but as he concentrated on watching the players enter, he heard a faint hum from the Little Angel beside him.
Ning Bei glanced at Qian Renxue, feeling a little strange. Had he offended her?
When the players appeared, the uniform long legs of Tianshui Academy immediately made Ning Bei understand. The stingy Qian Renxue had fallen into the vinegar jar again, but he couldn't blame her. After all, he had teased her with Tianshui Academy in the far north.
Amused, Ning Bei glanced at the Little Angel, who was staring at the arena with a serious expression but keeping a close watch on him with the corner of her eye. Ning Bei exaggeratedly stretched his neck and looked towards the arena.
Sure enough, an ear-piercing grinding sound came from beside him.
"Big Brother Xue, are your teeth uncomfortable? Remember to rinse your mouth often!"
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, was slightly stunned. How could she not understand that she was being teased again? She glared at him and then smiled, cupping her fist at Ning Bei.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Ning. It's not a toothache, but I was bitten by a dog last night, and it's a little painful."
"Is that so? Then Big Brother Xue must be careful next time."
"I will be careful!"
Listening to the exchange between the two, Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi were puzzled. Were these two on good terms?
As the two chatted, the battle in the arena began.
Strictly speaking, this was the first battle for the other members besides Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. Dugu Yan was still in the rest area and had no intention of fighting.
Little Rabbit's eyes were full of excitement. She could finally show her skills.
The others had similar feelings to Little Rabbit, and they all released their Spirit Rings.
The configuration of six Soul Kings and one Soul Elder made the long-legged girls on the opposite side show horrified expressions. Although they had guessed that there would be Soul Kings among the other team members, they didn't expect there to be so many, and this Spirit Ring configuration was simply deadly.
"Sister, what do we do?"
Shui Yue'er, the most timid, looked at her sister with a aggrieved expression, unable to imagine the scene of a little Soul Grandmaster like herself colliding with six Soul Kings.
Shui Bing'er also looked solemn when she saw this, and smiled bitterly when she heard her sister's complaint.
"There's no way, we have to bite the bullet and go on. We can't just admit defeat, that would be too embarrassing."
"Bing'er, should we use that move?"
Xue Wu looked directly at her, asking if they should use their ultimate move directly.
Shui Bing'er thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Let's go straight in; those unnecessary probes aren't needed."
"Okay."
As her voice fell, a faint phoenix cry suddenly appeared behind Shui Bing'er. A crystal-clear ice phoenix emerged, and the best spirit ring configuration of two yellow and two purple indicated her excellent talent.
Vice-captain Xue Wu didn't waste any words either. The Snowflake Spirit appeared in front of her, also with the theoretically best spirit ring configuration.
"Spirit Fusion Skill: Ice and Snow Dance."
Frost instantly formed on the arena, and a biting cold wind howled everywhere, with sharp ice cones falling from the sky from time to time.
"Wow, they even have a Spirit Fusion Skill. This is getting interesting."
Little Rabbit wasn't surprised but delighted. It wouldn't be fun if victory came too easily.
"Rongrong, give me support!"
"Okay!"
Although Xiao Wu was lively, she didn't underestimate the opponent's fusion skill. She directly called out to her little sister, and Ning Rongrong didn't hesitate to summon the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Nine Treasures, one said Strength, two said Speed, three said Spirit, four said Attack!"
Four rays of colored light attached to Xiao Wu, enhancing her overall aura.
Xiao Wu smiled confidently, shouted at A'Dai and Long Nianbing, and then rushed towards the opponent's camp.
"A'Dai, Nian Bing, cover me!"
"Yes, Sister Xiao Wu!"
Xiao Wu's pace was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, she rushed into the dense area of ice cones.
The remaining five members of Tianshui Academy hurriedly summoned their Spirits and prepared for battle. Since the captain and vice-captain didn't plan to give up directly, they didn't intend to be timid.
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er quickly controlled the frost and ice cones, pushing them towards Xiao Wu's advance.
Xiao Wu ignored the attacks in front of her and continued to rush forward.
Long Nianbing behind her smiled slightly. The Fifth Spirit Ring on his body surged, and countless earthen-yellow kitchen knives separated from the arena, forming a huge metal shield that blocked the descent of thousands of ice cones.
"Rhythm of the Earth, Eternal Barrier!"
Seeing her sister's attack being blocked, Shui Yue'er quickly used her Third Spirit Skill. The Jade Dolphin spat out several water blades from its mouth, flying towards Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu smiled slightly, and at the same time, the Third Spirit Ring on her body surged, and she disappeared from the spot.
The seven members of Tianshui were immediately shocked and frantically began searching for Xiao Wu's location.
"Over here!"
Shen Liuyu, at the very back of the team, suddenly felt a tightening all over her body. Before she could react, she was sent off the stage by Little Rabbit's set of Eight Stage Throws, and fainted after a muffled groan.
"Liuyu!"
Shui Bing'er was immediately exasperated and hurriedly controlled the ice and snow to attack Little Rabbit. However, Xiao Wu was least afraid of this kind of clumsy Soul Skill. Although the surrounding cold wind and frost also had some attack power, the main attack power of this Ice and Snow Dance still came from the ice ball in the center.
Once again, she used Teleport to disappear from the scene, causing Shui Bing'er's attack to miss again.
The remaining six members of Tianshui Academy were somewhat panicked. Their formation had been disrupted in one fell swoop. How could A'Dai and Zhu Zhuqing let such an opportunity pass?
With Rongrong's assistance, Zhu Zhuqing instantly disappeared from her original position and then appeared within the opponent's formation.
"Third Spirit Skill, Nether Slash."
Meanwhile, A'Dai released his Third Spirit Skill, merging into the arena and quietly approaching behind the opponents.
"Second Spirit Skill, Blade Barrage."
Two more screams rang out. Although Yu Hairou and Gu Qingbo at the rear of the team had already released their defensive Soul Skills, how could they withstand the sneak attacks of two Soul Kings? They were simultaneously knocked off the stage.
Shui Bing'er felt deeply powerless. It was already difficult enough for the two of them to use their Spirit Fusion Skill to hold back one opponent, let alone take care of so many others.
And the most fatal thing was that most of the opponents were agility-attack type Soul Masters.
