Chapter 74: Sun Moon's Victory

Upon hearing this, Wang Chiheng, the defensive battle soul master of Dou Ling Team, activated his martial soul, Adamant Shield, and simultaneously unleashed his fifth soul skill, Adamant Bastion. In an instant, towering shield walls sprang up beside the Dou Ling Team, shimmering with a solid, unyielding presence. With confidence, Wang Chiheng declared, "Don't worry, Captain! My Adamant Bastion will delay their attack! They won't break through in the short term. Leave the defense to me, Niuniu, and Qing Feng." He fixed his gaze on the shield walls, fully focused and ready to withstand the first wave of attacks. Tang Niuniu's martial soul was a raccoon, a support type martial soul. Without hesitation, she entered Martial Soul Possession and activated her soul skill. A wave of green light rippled out like water, enveloping Qing Feng. Qing Feng took a deep breath. Thanks to Tang Niuniu's buff, his next soul skill would receive a significant enhancement. With a flash of his fourth soul ring, an earth colored glow spread outward. In moments, rows of thorny earthen walls emerged, surrounding the shield barriers. It was clear The Dou Ling Team was preparing a one hit kill strategy. That's why they started off with such a defensive formation. In the audience, the spectators held their breath, awaiting the first clash between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy and the Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy. Huo Yuhao's Analysis Huo Yuhao calmly analyzed the enemy's tactics. "No doubt about it Dou Ling is preparing their trump card. If we fight them head on, we might need extra time to break through their defenses." "And by then, their killer move might already be ready, putting us at a huge disadvantage." "But while Dou Ling's defense is strong, it's still inferior to a proper mental defense soul tool." "So, I'll launch the first attack. Once you all see its effect, move in immediately." For Huo Yuhao, as long as the enemy wasn't carrying mental defense soul tools, it didn't matter if a fortress wall stood in his way He would break through with his mental attacks. Since he hadn't fought yet in this tournament, no one knew his abilities. The others had no objections and agreed unanimously to Huo Yuhao's plan. His eyes shimmered with gold, but under the cover of his Simulation Soul Skill, he and his teammates remained invisible Their movements hidden from the Dou Ling Team. "Mental Burning!" A powerful, invisible mental wave swept across the entire battlefield, engulfing the Dou Ling team. Xiao Feng, one of Dou Ling's spirit type soul masters, felt a sudden surge of panic. "My mental power it's depleting at several times the normal rate! What's going on? Are we under attack?!" The others also sensed their mental strength rapidly draining. Every soul master possessed a mental sea and spiritual power, but at this level, only spirit type soul masters could actively weaponize it. Xiao Feng, growing anxious, immediately activated his fourth soul skill A burst of purple light radiated from him, expanding outward to cover his entire team. His Purple Phantom Realm skill created an illusory world to confuse enemies, providing protection. But against Huo Yuhao's Mental Detection? Completely useless. Sun Moon's Attack Begins Xiao Hongchen smirked. His martial soul transformed as soul tools emerged, surrounding his body A formation of soul ray guns of varying sizes, all aimed at the enemy. "They won't let me use soul cannon bombardment, huh?" "Then I'll just spam soul ray shots instead!" In the next instant Countless soul rays burst forth, striking the Adamant Bastion and earthen walls. Cracks began to spread. Wang Chiheng and Qing Feng felt immense pressure. But with mental exhaustion draining them rapidly, their faces turned pale, and their eyelids grew heavy. Dream Hongchen stepped beside Xiao Hongchen And with a wave of her hand, a freezing mist rolled forward, sweeping toward the Dou Ling team. The rest of Sun Moon's team also joined in Some wielding soul ray guns, others using small soul cannons, all attacking at once. "Why are their soul rays so accurate?!" Xiao Feng's Purple Phantom Realm should've disrupted their aim, but It wasn't working at all. "Damn... I feel so dizzy... My mental power is draining too fast." "If this keeps up, I'll collapse right here..." Wang Chiheng clenched his teeth, trying to hold on a little longer But at that moment, a direct mental shock struck his mind. His body froze And then, he collapsed to the ground. The massive shield barriers crumbled. A moment later, Qing Feng, the one who created the earthen walls, also fell unconscious. A Crushing Defeat for Dou Ling Two major defensive pillars had fallen. For the Dou Ling Team, this was disastrous. Nearby, Huo Yuhao gasped for breath, his face slightly pale. Even though he had only taken down two non spirit type Soul Kings, the mental drain was enormous. After all He was only a Soul Elder. Without the enhancement from his Fate's Eye, he wouldn't have managed this at all. Not even a second passed before Skyfiend Douluo rushed in. As the referee, it was his duty to protect participants. With a wave of his hand, he teleported Wang Chiheng and Qing Feng off the stage. Now, Dou Ling had lost its main defense. The Sun Moon team like a pack of wolves spotting helpless prey Charged forward mercilessly. Even though Gu Zhu Jian and the others tried to resist, they couldn't stand against overwhelming force. Even with Invincible Barrier, it only delayed their defeat. In mere moments Dou Ling Team was wiped out. Sun Moon Advances to the Top 16 "Victory goes to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy!" Skyfiend Douluo's booming voice echoed throughout the arena. The audience fell into silence. Most of them were from the Three Douluo Nations. And none of them wanted to see Dou Ling lose. On the Imperial City Wall Xuan Zi quietly calculated the time in his mind. Sun Moon's victory had been way too fast. Dou Ling's trump card the Thunder Cannon Never even had a chance to be deployed. Even Xu Jiawei was stunned. "Their strength is beyond what I expected..." He turned to Elder Xuan, his voice full of uncertainty. "Elder Xuan... it seems we underestimated them."
