Chapter 169: You Are Too Naive
The Thunder Dragon roared wildly; the Thunder Eagle flapped its wings, soaring through the sky; the Thunder Spider hissed, watching in the shadows.
At Thunder Academy, all seven members unleashed their most powerful soul skills. Not only that, but they also threw other soul techniques without any regard for their lives, aiming at Dai Yao.
In an instant, the space where Dai Yao stood was completely engulfed by a sea of thunder.
The purple arcs of lightning flickered, stealing away the brightness of the day, making the entire Soul Arena flicker in and out of light.
The power of the thunder tore through the air, and the thunderous cries echoed throughout the arena. Even though the audience was far away, they could still feel the scorching heat and sharp sting of the lightning.
Zhu Zhuqing screamed and tried to rush forward, but Luo Feng stopped her with vines.
"What are you doing?"
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was like that from the depths of hell.
Luo Feng, though hesitant and conflicted, still blocked her path.
"Since he's already formulated a strategy, trust him. As his future wife, do you really think he's someone who would take on an uncertain task?"
Upon hearing Luo Feng's words, Zhu Zhuqing's face showed signs of struggle. As the saying goes, "Worry brings confusion," but after Luo Feng's reassurance, she gradually calmed down.
Dai Yao had already planned to use his strategy to exhaust Thunder Academy's soul power, but seeing those terrifying attacks, Zhu Zhuqing almost lost control.
Countless spectators stared at Dai Yao, who was now surrounded by thunder. They were shocked. On one hand, they were stunned by Thunder Academy's fierce attacks, and on the other, they were concerned for Dai Yao's safety.
Thunder Academy's attack was so rapid and fierce that even the referee didn't have time to react.
On the VIP seats, Sarath stared at Dai Yao's direction, his brows furrowed.
"Is Thunder Academy trying to kill him? What is Oakland Academy doing? Why hasn't Dai Yao admitted defeat yet, even in such a dangerous situation?"
Beside him, Ning Fengzhi also looked worried, his grip on his jade staff tightening unconsciously.
In the stands, Feng Xiaotian crossed his arms and observed the match, a serious expression on his face.
"As expected of Thunder Academy, their attacks are still terrifying. If it weren't for our Sacred Wind Academy being able to fly, we would probably have been defeated by you too."
Then, his gaze shifted to the center of the arena, where Dai Yao stood, surrounded by thunder. A look of disdain appeared on his face.
"Such a conceited guy. After Thunder Academy's assault, if he's able to survive, it will be a miracle. Even if he survives, he won't be able to participate in the following rounds."
"I was really stupid to consider this mediocre person as my opponent!"
"Now, Fire Dance should know how wrong her choice was."
His gaze slowly moved, landing on the section where Fire Dance's team was seated. His face darkened.
He noticed that Fire Dance, usually so proud and distant, was now frowning, her arms tightly crossed over her chest, her expression filled with deep concern.
A pang of pain struck his heart, and his hostility towards Dai Yao grew even stronger.
On the Shrek side, Tang San's pupils contracted slightly.
On one hand, he was stunned by Thunder Academy's aggressive attack. On the other hand, he noticed something unusual about Oakland Academy.
This was supposed to be a battle between strong teams, so why did it appear so one-sided?
From his analysis, Oakland should have had the strength to go toe-to-toe with Thunder Academy, but the performance on the field was completely different from what he expected.
Moreover, Dai Yao, the core of Oakland, was being surrounded. Although the Knife Squad was separated, the other members of Oakland were free, yet they did nothing!
It was as if they were deliberately letting Dai Yao face Thunder Academy's attacks alone.
At that moment, his heart skipped a beat, and his pupils suddenly constricted, a terrifying thought flashing in his mind.
His gaze suddenly shifted to the Oakland team members who weren't involved in the fight. To his shock, they had slight smiles on their faces.
His heart sank.
Thunder Academy had fallen into a trap.
But how would Dai Yao escape from Thunder Academy? This was the one thing he couldn't figure out.
Unlike the spectators who had different thoughts, Thunder Academy's mindset was simple.
They seemed to already smell the scent of victory.
Against an opponent like Dai Yao, Thunder Academy held nothing back.
The best way to respect an opponent was to wipe them out completely.
Even if their approach appeared as though they were attempting to kill him to many spectators!
Yu Tianxin panted lightly, having just unleashed his third and fourth soul skills. It wasn't easy for him.
Though his body was exhausted, his eyes were still sharp.
Looking at Dai Yao trapped in the sea of thunder, there was a hint of disdain in his gaze.
"So what if you're strong? You're too arrogant! Do you really think you can withstand all of Thunder Academy's attacks on your own?"
"Without enough wisdom to control your powerful strength, you're ultimately not worthy to be my opponent!"
"To consider you my rival was an insult to myself."
All the members of Thunder Academy had somewhat wilted expressions.
They had used their most powerful soul techniques, and their soul power was rapidly depleting. A few of them were already nearing the brink of exhaustion.
But they all believed that once they took down Dai Yao, the rest of Oakland's team, aside from Zhu Zhuqing, wouldn't pose a significant threat.
Unless the opponent had some secret card left to play, victory was assured!
"It seems like we should reduce the power of our soul techniques. If Dai Yao dies in the thunder, our academy will be disqualified."
Yu Tianxin even considered weakening the power of the thunder. The rest of Thunder Academy looked visibly pleased.
However, at this moment, something none of them expected happened.
A calm yet masculine voice echoed from within the terrifying sea of thunder.
"You're too naive!"
The calm voice echoed across the Soul Arena.
The entire arena seemed to freeze in time, and in the next instant, 80,000 spectators erupted in a deafening cheer.
Countless spectators jumped to their feet, stretching their necks, eager to see what had happened on the battlefield.
On the VIP seats, Sarath and Ning Fengzhi, who had been deeply worried about Dai Yao, instantly relaxed as they heard the voice.
Sarath laughed and cursed, "What a little trickster, you nearly made my heart stop!"
Yu Tianxin's pupils suddenly contracted. The remaining six members of Thunder Academy all showed shocked expressions as they looked at the thunder, gradually dissipating, revealing Dai Yao's figure. Their eyes filled with disbelief.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands, the figure in the thunder slowly appeared.
