MMORPG: Divine Monster Transmuter - Chapter 842
Chapter 842: Four Wins in a Row
Earth Souls were formed through the condensation of inner strength.
The higher the level of the Earth Soul, the more the inner strength that would be required to summon it.
However, the level and strength of an Earth Soul scales proportionally as well, and so the higher its level, the more powerful and faster it will be.
Generally speaking, an A Rank Earth Soul would easily defeat a C Rank one, while also being able to suppress a B Rank.
As such, when the Huaxia Squadron revealed the three A Rank and two S Rank Earth Souls in their possession, both their opponents and the players who were watching the match were taken aback.
Mo Cangli frowned, his eyes filled with resentment.
“Captain Jiang, do you really have the ability to create A Rank Earth Souls?”
Although his own members had formed Earth Souls themselves as well, they were only C Rank ones. In fact, he was the only one with a B Rank Earth Soul in the entire squadron, which made him feel slightly dejected.
Jiang Feng smiled slightly in response. “If I hadn’t formed an A Rank Earth Soul, there was a chance that my opponents may have done it instead. However, I could only do this with the assistance of some natural treasures. As such, forming an A Rank Earth Soul is actually quite an expensive task!”
Upon hearing his words, everyone calmed down.
They now believed in Jiang Feng’s ability to create A Rank Earth Souls.
However, they were not aware of the existence of the Dragon’s Vein at all. They all thought that creating an A Rank Earth Soul would only require huge amounts of natural resources.
Technically, with enough resources, it would be possible to get an Earth Soul to reach a higher level when forming it.
Some experts often took this approach.
“Even though I don’t feel like admitting it, your squadron does have a huge advantage over mine. Nevertheless, we still want to compete with you.”
Right as Mo Cangli said this, he brandished a long sword in his hands and started to rush toward Jiang Feng.
“Use the basic strategy, the five Earth Souls should work together to target the opponent’s support!”
Jiang Feng ordered his team as he approached Mo Cangli, while his own Earth Soul rushed out of his body and headed toward the support.
Meanwhile, Sus, Wanke, Kalosi, and Huang Xiaoyu had also found their respective opponents. The Earth Souls in their bodies rushed toward the support.
“Stop their Earth Souls!”
When Mo Cangli realized that Jiang Feng had planned on attacking their support first, his expression changed, and he immediately ordered his squadron to counter it. The battlefield started to erupt as the Twin-Cloud Squadron’s Earth Souls rushed out one after another to attack their opponents.
Boom!
When the Earth Souls collided, Mo Cangli and his squadron members were all pushed back from the impact. Since their Earth Souls were now damaged, they suffered internal injuries as well, with blood starting to flow out of the corners of their mouths.
Although Jiang Feng and his squadron’s Earth Souls had much less power now, they had still managed to take out the opponent’s support. It had been so easy for them, as if they were cheating.
“Reclaim the Earth Souls!”
He gave the order to his squadron members as he began to reclaim his own.
Earth Souls are like the carriers of inner strength. Thus, after the Earth Souls were formed, their summoners’ inner strength would start to deplete rapidly. Furthermore, as the collision had also consumed half of their inner strength, the Huaxia Squadron members would be vulnerable now if their Earth Souls were to be attacked.
As the Twin-Cloud Squadron had now lost a support, Jiang Feng’s squadron now had one more member on the battlefield, which gave them the opportunity to recall their Earth Souls.
Clang! Clang!
At the same time, the Flying Crane Sword clashed repeatedly with Mo Cangli’s sword, as they each looked for their opponent’s weakness and prepared to launch a fatal attack.
“They don’t have much inner strength now. We can win if we hold them back,” Mo Cangli said to his three remaining subordinates.
His sword technique was unpredictable, which made his opponents feel like they were fighting against a sword wall which was impossible to break through.
The vicious attack launched by Jiang Feng’s squadron using their Earth Souls had weakened their inner strength greatly. At that moment, it was indeed possible for them to be taken down by Mo Cangli and the others. Once their inner strengths were exhausted, they would be even more vulnerable.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the Earth Soul in Jiang Feng’s body started to rush out again. Riding on Little Golden Dragon, Little Jiang Feng went straight for the Twin-Cloud Squadron’s assassin not far away.
At that moment, the assassin had also sensed that something was amiss, and tried to escape. However, a small monk poised on a Golden Lotus appeared before him.
As the two S Rank Earth Souls surrounded him, his expression started to turn dark, and he quickly summoned his own Earth Soul in an attempt to protect himself.
The other members of the squadron also began to call out their Earth Souls in a defensive formation to block the oncoming attacks of the two S Rank Earth Souls.
Boom!
This time, the collision between the Earth Souls produced a series of explosions.
Whoosh!
However, the Twin-Cloud Squadron seemed to have underestimated the strength of the S Rank Earth Souls.
As they were too focused on the incoming attack by the Golden Lotus and the Golden Dragon, they failed to notice Little Jiang Feng and the small monk rushing at the body of the assassin.
In the blink of an eye, they took him down.
After all, it was a little difficult to defend against S Rank Earth Souls that could split apart and divide themselves into two.
Wanke, having regained his composure, started to recall his Earth Soul as his body trembled slightly. The earlier collision had almost used up all the inner strength in his body.
In the meantime, Jiang Feng still had less than one-fifth of his inner strength left.
However, he didn’t recall his Earth Soul and instead rushed directly toward his opponents. When the Twin-Cloud Squadron had summoned their Earth Souls to defend against the assault just now, the impact had left them with some serious damage, while their Earth Souls were reabsorbed back into their bodies. Before the squadron could summon them again, Jiang Feng used his remaining inner strength to launch the last wave of attacks.
Whoosh!
He took down the enemy’s controller.
Now, the Twin-Cloud Squadron only had two members remaining, Mo Cangli and another melee fighter.
In contrast, Hughes, Karos, and Huang Xiaoyu had not used any of their inner strength during the last fight, so they were still much stronger than Mo Cangli and his subordinate as of now.
Whoosh!
Mo Cangli’s eyes locked on to his attacker as he stabbed his long sword at Jiang Feng, who no longer had any inner strength left.
Right at that moment, Hughe’s sword chain suddenly wrapped around Jiang Feng, pulling him back from behind.
“We surrender!”
Seeing that Jiang Feng had been rescued, Mo Cangli immediately chose to admit defeat.
If they had managed to kill Jiang Feng just now, their squadron would still have had some chance of winning. Unfortunately, they had not been able to do so.
If Jiang Feng was not taken care of, with his speed of recovering inner strength, his squadron would surely recover very quickly. Once they regained their inner strength, the Twin-Cloud Squadron would not survive.
Left helpless, Mo Cangli had no choice but to admit defeat.
Ding. Tianji System Prompt. Congratulations to your team for winning.
“Even in a fair battlefield, you really are a freak!” Mo Cangli said to Jiang Feng as he left with his members.
“Thank you, everyone.” Jiang Feng cupped his fists and started to smile at the audience.
The Huaxia team had won yet again. With this, they now had four victories in a row.
“Hurry up and recover. The battles will only get more and more difficult. I will discuss a strategy with you guys later,” Jiang Feng told his team members after the battle.
Then, the five of them sat down cross-legged together as they tried to regain their inner strength.
From the battle just now, they could tell that even though they may hold the advantage when it came to Earth Souls, a victory was not always guaranteed when it came down to the wire.
They also learned that some strategies may work better against them, especially those that take advantage of the fact that Earth Souls consume a lot of inner strength when attacking but only require little of it when defending.
Because of this, and the fact that the last battle had taken a toll on his squadron, Jiang Feng formulated a new plan in his head.
When he recovered his inner strength, he turned his attention to the Xiuluo Squadron. Just like Jiang Feng’s squadron, they too had won four battles in a row.
The same goes for the Demon Palace Squadron.
It seemed that the final champion would likely be one of these three teams, which means that their main competitors now would be the Xiuluo and the Demon Palace Squadrons!
