Chapter 455 - Extreme Torture with Defense Reflect!
“I won’t attack,” Wang Che said. “I’ll just watch from the side. It’s still the Magnetic Sword’s own fight.”
“There’s still a chance.” Yang Xiaotan nodded and smiled, “Let’s confirm this again. You won’t attack, right? When the time comes, if your Magnetic Sword can’t win, don’t jump in!”
“Do I look like someone who goes back on my word?” Wang Che asked.
“Not at all.” Yang Xiaotan took a deep breath and waved her hand, bringing her team members down.
The venue this time was called Yama Hell.
!!The name was very scary. In fact, it was a composite terrain formed by pitch-black mountains and wasteland terrain. It was filled with a large amount of devil energy. Devil energy was rather violent compared to ordinary elemental energy. The source of this energy was a new energy formed by the combination of dark magic power and soul power left behind when the other world invaded. After it stabilized, it became this devil energy.
Devil energy could greatly increase the strength of soul pets, so devil-type soul pets often had very high physical strength and a certain amount of elemental resistance. When enduring various types of elemental attacks, they had a certain amount of damage reduction.
At the same time, their strength was balanced in all aspects. The only thing they were afraid of was ghost-type soul pets.
As for the source of the devil energy, there was only one place, and that was the Soul Earth.
The energy in the Soul Earth was formed by the dark magic power and soul power of another world. From a certain perspective, it was unstable devil energy.
Soul beasts absorbed this unstable devil energy all year round. They wouldn’t become devil soul pets, but they would lose consciousness and their souls would be corroded, turning into berserk soul beasts.
Training devil soul pets had its own dangers.
However, the power of a devil soul pet was unquestionable.
“In the underworld, other than devil energy, any soul pet will be corroded by devil energy.”
“Once it fights for a long time, the soul pet will definitely lose control.”
“Therefore, in this terrain, having a devil-type soul pet is crucial.”
“If we want to defeat that Magnetic Sword, we only need to defend. If Wang Che doesn’t attack, as long as it can’t break our attack, everything will be useless.”
Yang Xiaotan explained the enemy’s thoughts to the team.
“But…” Zheng Shaoyang hesitated, “From the battle situation a few days ago… can we withstand the Magnetic Sword’s attack? Not to mention the competition, I also saw yesterday’s competition. To be honest, after the Magnetic Sword clone, it created a special space and its strength increased sharply. With a few strikes, even a ten-thousand-year soul pet can’t withstand two strikes.”
“There’s also that powerful and mysterious red divine lightning. A powerful dragon pet like Zu Chi is almost completely immune to lightning. He can be killed in one move…”
“Even your Dragon Turtle can’t withstand it, Sister Xiaotan.”
“…” Yang Xiaotan smiled and said, “Since I said that, there’s naturally a way to resist. You don’t have to fight later. Just release your soul pets and protect me.”
“There’s no need to think too much about the rest.”
The team members understood. There were still trump cards left, right?
Before long, Wang Che landed.
“This match should be very easy, right?”
Wang Ka thought for a moment, “Yang Xiaotan’s Divine Might Black Tortoise is indeed very strong, but the Magnetic Sword’s divine lightning can even break through immunity. A martial soul like the Divine Might Black Tortoise actually has very strong defense and elemental resistance, but it can’t protect the three of them, right?”
“Yang Xiaotan’s competition tactics are very simple.” Ludi immediately said, “We’ve all seen her matches. Her soul pets are all defensive.”
“The first is a ten-thousand-year soul pet, the Eternal Mountain Giant Turtle, a rock-type soul pet. The second is a six-thousand-year Earth Dragon Turtle, a ground-type soul pet. The third is also the key to her strategy. It’s a ghost-type soul pet, the Curse Doll.”
“The Curse Doll doesn’t have any offensive abilities. Among ghost-type soul pets, it’s only an extremely rare soul pet.”
“This ghost soul pet has a very special soul skill, Curse Reflect: The soul pet marked by the Curse Doll will suffer a curse effect.”
“This effect can make the marked soul pet unable to attack and also reflect the attacker’s damage. The damage reflected is determined by the defense of the marked soul pet.”
At this point, Ludi frowned slightly, “Therefore, when fighting this team, the stronger you are, the more likely you are to be countered. In the individual competition, the only time Yang Xiaotan lost was when she encountered a Contract Soul Master with a special demon spirit-type soul pet.”
“That demon spirit-type soul pet is called the Ghost Face Mirror. It replicated the curse and defeated Yang Xiaotan.”
“In the team competition, although only one soul pet can go on stage, the Curse Doll gave Yang Xiaotan’s martial soul a soul skill.”
“In the previous match against the War God Capital Academy, Yang Xiaotan’s third soul skill, Life Curse, was the strengthened version of Curse Reflect! It almost ground the other party to death.”
“Zheng Shaoyang and the other two are only in charge of cleaning up the mess.”
“It’s a defensive counterattack lineup that greatly counters the Magnetic Sword.”
“The precondition is that it can withstand the attack of the Magnetic Sword.”
“If it resisted, the other party might not suffer much damage from the Magnetic Sword’s move. Instead, it would suffer extremely strong reflect damage.”
The team members were clearly very familiar with Yang Xiaotan’s team.
After all, it was the semi-finals.
“The Life Curse soul skill yesterday should be her trump card.” Shen Mingluan slowly said, “There are actually many reflect-type defensive soul skills. However, the Curse Doll’s Curse Reflect is different. It can’t be dispelled through normal methods. This is its species soul skill as a ghost-type soul pet.”
“The reason why the Divine Capital Academy lost yesterday was not only this move, but also the species characteristic of the Eternal Mountain Giant Turtle, Wide Guard.”
“With Wide Guard active, all companions in the range of the Eternal Mountain Giant Turtle will share the same state.”
“From a single-target reflect, it became a group reflect.”
“Therefore… no matter if you attack it or Zheng Shaoyang, you will be affected by the Life Curse effect.”
The three of them spoke as they buffed the Magnetic Sword.
“So, Junior…” Shen Mingluan said seriously,” Yang Xiaotan’s team looks very weak, especially other than her, the other three are very weak at this stage and are easily underestimated. But it’s also because of this that she can reach this stage! ”
Looking at Yang Xiaotan’s team.
Zheng Shaoyang was in his second year, Ying Yu was also in his second year, and Zhao Zhige was in his first year.
They had already defeated a bunch of first and second teams from third and fourth-year universities.
To be able to reach this stage, he was naturally capable.
As the hidden trump card of the North River Academy, Yang Xiaotan could be said to have greatly increased the reputation of the North River Academy in this year’s King’s Cup.
“Reflect damage.”
Wang Che nodded. He naturally knew.
However, just the reflect could not stop the Magnetic Sword’s sword formation.
The Heavenly Tribulation Divine Lightning Magnetic Sword could not control its strength well. Without Wang Che’s guidance, it was unwilling to be useful at the crucial moment and consumed a lot of energy.
If it did not hit, it would indeed be easily countered.
Currently, the Magnetic Sword could not use the Heavenly Tribulation Divine Lightning in sword moves.
It could only be used in mechanical and lightning combination soul skills, which were the Spiral Thunderstorm Ball or the Orbital Magnetic Cannon that it had created.
These two moves were long-range attacks and had a chance of failing unless it was a huge soul pet.
For example, the Eight Desolate Frost Crystal Dragon was too huge after evolution. Once it was tracked by the Spiral Thunderstorm Ball, it could not avoid it.
“If we force it, the devil energy in this place will also make the Magnetic Sword lose control.”
“This team competition feels inexplicably difficult.”
Wang Ka shook his head.
Soon, the distant Yang Xiaotan and the other three revealed their soul pets.
The Divine Might Black Tortoise martial soul he had seen in the Myriad Beast Mountain appeared on Yang Xiaotan.
As for the Eternal Mountain Giant Turtle, it also appeared on the field.
The Eternal Mountain Giant Turtle was a King-ranked soul pet. It had nothing else but endurance.
It was even more resistant than the Earth Dragon Turtle.
There were a bunch of defensive soul skills on him, but not a single offensive soul skill.
Zheng Shaoyang’s Stone Devil King was the first to erupt with a black light that enveloped them.
Devil Aura could absorb the devil energy around it to increase its strength.
As the surrounding devil energy was absorbed by the Stone Devil King, the ten-meter-tall Eternal Mountain Giant Turtle stood up with a silver light!
The light was like moonlight that covered most of the venue!
“Wide Guard!”
This species characteristic allowed teammates who entered the silver light to share the state of the Eternal Mountain Giant Turtle.
Yang Xiaotan waved her hand and snorted.
“Life Curse!”
The Divine Might Black Tortoise martial soul above her head let out a void roar and spat out a dark energy pillar at the Eternal Mountain Giant Turtle!
In an instant, the originally silver-gray Giant Turtle turned dark gray as if it had been dyed!
Almost at the same time, the other teammates and soul pets immediately turned this color!
Then, Yang Xiaotan waved her hand again.
“Earth Connection!”
This was a soul skill given by the Earth Dragon Turtle.
Earth Connection was similar to the Earth Together soul skill of the Earth Dragon Turtle.
It could connect teammates and soul pets through the ground and bear the damage.
The difference was that as a martial soul’s soul skill, this move could also increase the defense and health of its teammates.
Compared to the Earth Dragon Turtle’s Earth Together, the effect was greater and stronger!
Mythical martial soul soul skills were naturally much stronger than soul pets.
This lineup almost tortured the Divine Capital Academy to death in the previous match!
Many of the audience felt their scalps tingle.
The limit of defense was healing and blocking when attacked, while reflecting the enemy to death.
Especially since the Eternal Mountain Giant Turtle was a soul pet that had all its attribute points added to defense because it was afraid of pain.
Not only did it increase defense, but it also increased physique.
It had thick health, strong defense, and high resistance.
It perfectly explained: If you have the guts, try hitting me?
All the teammates were connected by a special energy thread used by the Divine Might Black Tortoise martial soul.
“What a pity. If this was the dragon wind domain or terrain without ground, their strength would be greatly reduced!”
Seeing this, Ludi sighed, “Earth Connection is even more abnormal than Earth Together! Not only can it share the damage, but it can also increase defense and health recovery. The effect is still very strong! However, without the terrain of the ground, the effect of this move is only ten to twenty percent.”
“That Devil Aura can also absorb the surrounding devil energy, which means that their soul pets won’t be affected by the terrain.”
“In this terrain, if others have devil soul pets, we don’t. It’s very annoying.”
The complicated lineup and the changing terrain made the team competition of the King’s Cup filled with endless variables every year.
There were also champion contestants who had been in the individual competition for more than two consecutive years.
So far, there had not been a champion team that could last more than two years in the team competition.
Clang!
The void rumbled as the competition began!
“Go, end the battle quickly!”
The Magnetic Sword sizzled twice and transformed into a purple light that flew out.
The consumption yesterday was actually very great. Fortunately, Wang Che had prepared sufficient medicinal pills. Although he did not restore the Magnetic Sword to its peak state in half a day, it had mostly recovered.
The other party was actually not at their peak.
In a high-intensity battle, it was impossible for a ten-thousand-year soul pet to reach its peak state without a few days of effort.
The state here referred to the mental state.
It was not the soul power state.
Soul pets and Contract Soul Masters were both living beings. In high-intensity battles, their mental state would decrease day by day.
Soul power was actually very easy to recover, but one needed to rest in their mental state.
If they could encounter some thunderstorms here, the Magnetic Sword could still use this to cultivate. Not to mention increasing its cultivation, it would not be a problem to restore its mental state.
The moment the Magnetic Sword flew out, it did not directly unleash the Shadow Splitting Sword. Instead, it released a purple Thunderstorm Ball in the air.
Zheng Shaoyang and the others did not dodge.
It was mainly because they could not dodge.
The difference in soul power cultivation and level was too great. The speed of the Thunderstorm Ball was too fast and it also had a certain tracking ability. They were not strong and it was very difficult to dodge.
Moreover, they were already used to not dodging any soul skills.
The Thunderstorm Ball landed on Zheng Shaoyang’s Stone Devil King. The moment it hit, the dark gray light on the Stone Devil King’s body shook violently!
At the same time, everyone, including Yang Xiaotan, shook! They frowned!
The next moment, the Thunderstorm Ball did not explode. Instead, it bounced back in the direction of the Magnetic Sword!
The Magnetic Sword did not dodge and caught the Thunderstorm Ball.
The moment it exploded, the Magnetic Sword also suffered a certain amount of damage. The source of the damage was not the lightning damage in the Thunderstorm Ball, but the shock damage caused by the explosion.
“Long-range soul skills can also be easily reflected.”
The Magnetic Sword understood.
This time, the Magnetic Sword released a Sword Spirit Shadow.
There was only one.
The Magnetic Sword and his clone stood vertically in the air and pointed the tip of the sword at Zheng Shaoyang and the others.
“Again?”
Zheng Shaoyang did not panic, “The reflect effect of the Life Curse can work on long-range and close-range attacks. Close-range attacks can be reflected directly. Long-range attacks are also useless… Even if you release two Thunderstorm Balls at the same time, they will still be reflected.”
That’s right, the effect was that unreasonable.
