237 Group battle is never a one-person battleTang Hao glanced at Tang San from the corner of his eye, "What's the solution?"
"I obtained the third spirit ring of the Blue Silver Grass spirit by hunting a thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider. It was also at that time that I accidentally absorbed the human-faced demon spider's external spirit bone, the Eight Spider Lance."
Tang San thought for a moment, and continued: "Teacher said that the human-faced demon spider is an evil killer, a being that devours life. The soul bones produced by this kind of soul beast will most likely have a devouring attribute."
"At the beginning, my external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lance, not only strengthened my physical attributes, but also had the ability to release poison. When the Eight Spider Lance was completely integrated with my body, it evolved into a devouring skill. It's just a pity that when I absorbed the soul ring beyond my level, the Eight Spider Lance was destroyed along with the Blue Silver Grass martial soul. If the Eight Spider Lance was still there, I could use the Eight Spider Lance's devouring ability to devour life, thereby quickly improving my soul power!"
Hearing this, Tang Hao suddenly stopped, his originally serious face turned gloomy, and he said coldly: "You want to cultivate by devouring other people's lives?"
As he spoke, an extremely cold aura emanated from Tang Hao. This aura did not seem to have any explosive power, but when it actually enveloped Tang San, Tang San suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and every hair on his body stood up.
Tang Hao turned around and faced Tang San. The atmosphere of the conversation between father and son suddenly became solemn, and murderous aura was everywhere.
Seeing the coldness in his father's eyes and the anger on his face, Tang San subconsciously took a step back, his eyes trembling.
"Remember this. Soul masters who cultivate by devouring lives are not recognized. They are enemies of the soul master world. Once you go astray, you will become a degenerate and there will be no salvation. Do you understand?"
Every word Tang Hao said was like thunderbolt into Tang San's ears, making him tremble all over.
Trying his best to suppress the fear in his heart, Tang San said with difficulty: "Dad, you misunderstood. I don't want to cultivate by devouring lives. Didn't you say that everyone in the Slaughter City has already died? The training there is to kill them. Since their lives have been taken away, why not just devour their lives and strengthen yourself?"
"When I say devouring lives, I mean devouring the lives of those evil soul masters. I will not harm innocent people."
After listening to Tang San's explanation, Tang Hao retracted the murderous aura that was exposed within his body.
The cold murderous intent receded like the tide, and Tang San recovered from his fear. He once again experienced the tyranny of murderous intent, which made him yearn for it even more.
"Dad, am I wrong?" Tang San looked into Tang Hao's eyes and said seriously, "Make the best use of people and things. Anyway, we have already killed them. If we don't devour their energy, wouldn't it be a waste?"
Tang Hao's opposition was still firm. "I said, once you go astray, you will become hopeless. You will become as evil as them."
"No." Tang San's eyes were more determined than ever before, "I will never become like them. Killing a person who has the means to die, isn't this eliminating harm for the people? Evil people, it's not a pity to die!"
Tang Hao did not refute, but changed the subject and asked, "You want me to help you find the soul bone of the human-faced demon spider?"
Tang San's solemn face suddenly smiled and nodded, "I know that external spirit bones are extremely rare and can't be found so easily. Dad, as long as it is a spirit bone with the devouring skill, it doesn't matter what part of the spirit bone it is. I promise you that I will only devour the lives of evil people and evil spirit beasts, and will never harm innocent people."
Tang Hao thought about it, turned around, and walked forward, "Let's go to the Power Clan first."
No objection, that means consent! Tang San was immediately delighted. If he could really get a soul bone with the Devouring skill, he could quickly improve his soul power even if he didn't practice martial souls. And those evil soul masters in the Slaughter City could just become the targets of devouring.
There is always a way out. Tang San felt that he still had the possibility of becoming stronger. He used murderous aura, hidden weapons, and devouring evil spirit masters to increase his strength. This was his way to become stronger.
"————"
The next day.
Wuhun City, in front of the Pope's Palace.
The finals scene.
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo Gu Rong sat down in the guest seats. The senior official representing Emperor Xingluo and Xue Qinghe also sat down after exchanging a few polite words.
In the other guest seats were the high-ranking officials of the Spirit Hall.
A special position was set up on the display stand of the competition venue. Pope Bibi Dong sat in that position, with Jue and Gui standing behind her.
The audience in the auditorium have also taken their seats.
Below the 100-meter-high arena, many new seats were set up around it. Nearly twenty powerful Soul Saints and above from the Spirit Hall were sitting in the four directions of the arena, east, west, south, and north.
They are spectators, but they are also here to ensure the safety of every competitor in the melee.
There were twenty Soul Saints patrolling the stage, and a Ghost Douluo of the Agility Attack Department watching from the side, which made the players of the nine teams who were about to go on stage feel relieved.
Today is the last game of the finals and also the championship match of the elite competition.
What is different from the past is that there will not be two teams competing on stage, but nine teams that have entered the top nine, a total of sixty-three people competing on the same stage.
Melee combat only occurs on real battlefields or informal team battles in large fighting arenas, but today it appears in this form on the stage of the elite competition.
This will be an unprecedented multiplayer melee competition in the elite competition. The team that fights to the end will be the champion of this elite competition and will receive supreme honor and three high-quality soul bones as championship rewards.
In the center of the ring, the referee saw that all the spectators were in place, and immediately shouted, "The final scrimmage of the Continental High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition is about to begin. Players from the nine academy teams, please get ready to go on stage. The competition will start in fifteen minutes—"
Hearing the referee's announcement that the game would begin in a quarter of an hour, the nine teams in their respective lounges suddenly became nervous. This was the first time they fought in a free-for-all format.
For the students of the academy, such combat experience is very lacking. In a chaotic battlefield, when facing eight other teams, it is very likely that they will accidentally injure teammates in a hurry.
A melee requires not only psychological quality and teamwork, but also tactical arrangements.
The teachers leading the nine teams that were about to compete were almost all doing the same thing, which was to remind the seven players from their own academy once again to remember last night's battle deployment and act according to the plan in order to persist to the end in the melee and win the championship.
As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gains. The tactical arrangements of the nine teams are basically based on this concept. Sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and try to conserve physical and mental strength. This is what each team leader told his players.
The lounge of the Tiandou Team 2.
The team leader Shi Gao led the seven members of Team Tiandou to the lounge of Team Two. He originally wanted the two teams to agree on which team would win the championship before going on stage to compete, but he found that Team Two captain Lu Buliang was not there.
"Li Gang, where is your captain?" Dugu Yan looked at Li Gang and asked, "Is he not up yet?"
Li Gang smiled bitterly, "The captain said yesterday that he was going to a certain place to practice, and he hasn't come back yet."
"Practice?" Dugu Yan thought, could it be that Lu Buliang went to her grandfather's strange hot spring to practice?
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The game will start in ten minutes." Yu Tianheng shook his head. "Why is Aliang still the same as always? He has no sense of time at all."
Ye Lingling said on behalf of Lu Buliang: "It is because he has a sense of time that he cultivates every minute."
At this moment, the space in the lounge suddenly distorted, forming a translucent white air wall.
Lu Buliang walked out and found that the members of Tiandou Team 1 and Team 2 were all there, and their dull gazes were all focused on him.
"Hey, Mr. Shi Gao and everyone, long time no see." Lü Buliang asked in surprise, "Why is your team here?"
"Nonsense. We are about to have a big fight, so of course our team one and team two should be combined." Dugu Yan frowned, "Otherwise, do you really want to face the other eight teams alone?"
Lu Buliang looked at Dugu Yan and said, "I can do anything."
"Well, I'll beat you first when we get on stage." Dugu Yan clenched his fist and said coldly, "I haven't taken revenge on you for beating me up before. I'll take this opportunity to beat you up!"
"Yanzi, why are you so petty?" Lu Buliang looked at Ye Lingling and said, "I also kicked Lingling at that time. Do you think she holds a grudge?"
Before Ye Lingling could say anything, Oslo responded, "Also, Aliang, you also beat me up when you first joined the academy!"
Hearing this, Yu Feng sneered, "Leopard, why do I feel like you're so proud even after being beaten?"
Oslo glared at Yufeng and said, "Go away. I don't want to argue with a birdman like you."
"Alright. Everyone, stop messing around. We're going on stage in less than ten minutes, so let's get down to business."
After hearing Yu Tianheng's words, everyone's eyes were focused on him and the room suddenly became quiet.
"In the melee later, the players from the other seven teams will definitely want to eliminate Aliang first." Yu Tianheng said, "There are fourteen people in our Tiandou Team One and Team Two, which means it will be a group battle of fourteen against forty-nine. Aliang, can you assist the thirteen of us at the same time?"
"Everyone has a shadow. The thing that shadow spirits fear the most is group battles." Lu Buliang's eyes swept over the members of Tiandou Team 1 and Team 2 in turn, and he said seriously: "Group battles are never a battle between one person, but a battle between one person and a group of people."
Hearing this, everyone sighed almost at the same time and shook their heads helplessly.
Dugu Yan frowned and cursed, "Aliang, can you be serious? Seven teams, a total of forty-nine people want you to lose, and you still want to challenge them alone? Even if you are a Soul Emperor, facing the siege of forty-nine Soul Sects at the same time, you will be exhausted to death if you are not beaten to death!"
Shi Mo scratched his head in confusion. "Sister Yanzi, when I said Aliang was not good enough before, you told him off. Why are you still saying he is not good enough in front of him now?"
Duguyan squeezed Shi Mo's arm hard and said, "You are the only one who talks too much. I can say he is not good enough. But you can't!"
Watching the students fighting, Teacher Sun looked at Shi Gao with some concern, "Teacher Shi, when we go on stage later, can these two teams really cooperate well?"
"What are you still talking about? You've been the team leader for so long, can't you see the difference between Lü Buliang and the other players?" Shi Gaoda said sternly, "Let's think about how to distribute the three soul bones to these children later."
Ten minutes later.
On the stage, the referee shouted, "The preparation time is over. The finals of the Continental High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition has officially begun. Please invite the contestants from the nine college teams to come on stage to compete--"
After hearing the referee's announcement, Lü Buliang looked at all the members of Tiandou Team 1 and Team 2 and said with a smile, "Let's go and win the championship."
