Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 438 - 320: Ye Qiu’s Wish
After the semifinals ended, according to the competition rules, there was a brief one-hour break before the finals.
The break was also the time for the Great Wall Team to discuss tactics.
"I didn’t expect that under such targeting, Red Cloud still won; we need to change our tactics, and Ye Qiu shouldn’t engage in close combat with Lin Feng."
Seeing the disappearing silhouette of the Red Cloud Team, Yang Ningbing frowned slightly and said.
"Yes, to be safe, it’s best to constrain from a distance and not give Lin Feng the chance to get close!"
Zhan Tianyu’s eyes were somewhat solemn.
Having refined the Six-armed Celestial Demon, he was already adept at close combat and rarely had opponents in this state.
But facing Lin Feng’s suicidal attack, he was also a bit at a loss.
Compared to Lin Feng, the defense of the Six-armed Celestial Demon wasn’t particularly strong.
And having gained Illusion, Lin Feng’s close combat attacks became more dangerous.
Because Lin Feng might explode attack at any moment, and he does it more recklessly.
Before, it was damaging the enemy by 800 while self-harming by 1000; now, with the "Illusion" soul skill, the self-harm damage was minimized.
In the original tactics, Ye Qiu was supposed to constrain Lin Feng.
If Lin Feng got close to the squad, Ye Qiu would engage in close combat with him.
In close combat mode, Ye Qiu was covered in thorns, like a hedgehog, making it difficult for enemies to strike.
The Dragon Scale Armor bestowed by the Demon Spirit of the Dragon Race also had strong defense and possessed the innate skill "Hellfire".
Hellfire, as a divine-level soul skill, has the characteristic of being inextinguishable; if released, the explosion would only amplify the power of "Hellfire", and with Lin Feng’s defense, he couldn’t withstand it, so he wouldn’t dare to easily go for a suicidal attack.
Although Zhan Tianyu was stronger than Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu was actually more assured in dealing with Lin Feng.
But now, because of Illusion, the original tactics had to be changed.
It’s fortunate that they realized ahead of time, otherwise it would have been truly dangerous in combat.
"Although Illusion is divine-level, with Lin Feng’s current soul power, he definitely can’t transform entirely, only maintain a part of his body, so no need to worry too much. With such a soul skill, he can use it at most three times, so Lin Feng wouldn’t dare to recklessly explode in close combat."
Ye Qiu calmly analyzed.
Divine-level soul skills, despite their high rank, great power, and good effects, also consume a lot of soul power and can’t be used arbitrarily.
"We shouldn’t focus all our attention on Lin Feng, although he is the greatest threat, the others are no simple characters; Yue Mingming needs to be especially noted, he hasn’t made a move in the previous two matches!" Yang Ningbing reminded.
Chen Xing asked in confusion, "Yue Mingming? Doesn’t he have a Fifth Grade Tentacle Monster already? Could he have a second summoned beast? Even if he does, with his soul power, he could only summon one!"
"Uncertain, but it’s very likely."
Yang Ningbing shook her head, speaking seriously:
"Don’t underestimate Yue Mingming; being a member of the Red Cloud Team itself is impressive; he might be the Red Cloud Team’s secret weapon. If possible, eliminate him first."
"Indeed, Yue Mingming needs to be watched."
Zhan Tianyu nodded and said.
Yue Mingming was the first person Lin Feng helped absorb a soul skill, even Yun Kai and Dong Yunan didn’t get this privilege—it’s hard to believe he had no special abilities.
Moreover, other summoners, when first casting the summoning technique, can only summon some small birds or animals; but Yue Mingming summoned what?
It was a Fifth Grade Tentacle Monster.
This guy, like Lin Feng, isn’t normal.
Accompanied by the appearance of the divine-level soul skill, the viewership surged again, not only breaking viewing records but reaching double the astonishing figures of previous years.
At this time, out of 100 people, 90 were watching the match live—this viewership exceeds even the finals of the Glory Professional League.
Audiences were speculating on how the Red Cloud Team would overturn facing such a powerful formation as the Great Wall Team.
Divine-level soul skills, though precious and powerful, after all, are just one soul skill, and an individual’s strength, no matter how formidable, can’t change the outcome of a team match.
In anticipation, an hour slowly passed, and when the two teams stood up and walked slowly into the battleground, the tsunami-like cheers immediately ignited the venue.
The match hadn’t even started, yet the atmosphere was already explosive!
This time, even Song Xiangrong, who always remained calm before, had a slightly excited tone in his commentary:
"The match is about to begin, the two teams have entered the field, and like the audience, even I’m a bit excited about this final."
His words paused slightly, and he exclaimed with some amazement:
"Undoubtedly, this is the most exciting and luxurious lineup I have ever hosted in the Glory League. Certainly, it is also the most exciting college league many audiences have ever seen."
"No previous final has had such suspense, such a luxurious lineup."
"Can you imagine? In a national college Glory League, two teams, ten people, five of whom have refined Earth Chart Demon Spirits? And the level of these demon spirits has set new records.
Even more incredibly, there’s someone who refined a First Grade Dragon Fish yet has two diamond soul skills, with one being a divine-level soul skill?"
"In previous leagues, you’d hardly find anyone absorbing diamond soul skills, but this year, both Lin Feng and Ye Qiu have absorbed diamond soul skills, and Yun Kai, the returnee with demonization, besides possessing the innate skill ’Golden Transformation’ from the Golden Lion King, also has the ’Sword Control Technique’ bestowed by bloodline talent, rendering it a divine-level soul skill too."
"These three youths from Jiang City, though only twenty, have already captured national attention and stood on the highest stage for college students."
"What lineup is this? An All-Star? No, it’s more like a national team configuration!"
"The reward for winning this match is a soul skill of diamond grade, and the winner can choose specifically—it’s no exaggeration to say that this might be the highest-grade soul skill many contestants encounter in their lives. Of course, Lin Feng and Ye Qiu are exceptions."
The match hadn’t yet started, and with the commentary, the atmosphere was already intensely heated.
It was already 1 AM, but the audience felt no sleepiness whatsoever. Even though ice series soul skills cooled them down, there was still a feeling of excitement, a sense of blood boiling.
In the competition venue.
As captain, Lin Feng and Zhan Tianyu were the first to shake hands.
"Let the match be a match; don’t go around with suicidal explosions."
Smiling just like Huang Tianze’s opening line, Zhan Tianyu said.
After laughing, he added, "We’re teammates, not opponents!"
Except for Chen Xing and the other member of the Great Wall Team who were somewhat bewildered, the rest understood and had a slight smile on their faces.
Hearing this, Lin Feng couldn’t help but laugh.
He had said that before.
It was what he said to all members of the Avengers Alliance.
"Your lineup is too cruel, I’m forced to explode!"
Lin Feng joked back.
"I’ve been waiting for this day for two years!"
Shaking hands with Lin Feng, Ye Qiu looked at him with battle intent in his eyes, speaking with a sliver of sentiment.
Two years ago, ever since the phrase "South Yeqiu, North Linfeng" appeared online, people constantly compared him to Lin Feng. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Back then, he eagerly anticipated a fight against Lin Feng.
As Lin Feng’s brilliance became more dazzling, his achievements more glorious, this anticipation grew deeper.
By now, he was no longer a match for Lin Feng, but today’s match would fulfill his wish.
"Me too!"
Looking at Ye Qiu with battle intent in his eyes, Lin Feng smiled.
Ye Qiu longed to face him, and likewise, he did too.
Once, Ye Qiu was his goal for endless cultivation!
