Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 309 A Despair-Inducing Lineup

In the round of six to three, three matches are played separately. After each match, there is a ten-minute break before the next match begins.

The first match is between Great Wall University and Fengxiang University.

This match also generated the most discussion and buzz online.

Today's audience exceeded 300,000, eight or nine out of ten of whom were from Beijing.

As a team from the same city, it's normal for the Great Wall team to have the highest attention and popularity.

The Great Wall team boasts five main players, four of whom are top-ranked demon spirits from the Earthly Rankings. There has never been such a luxurious lineup in the history of the National College Glory League.

There has never been anyone like him before, and I fear there will be no one like him in the future.

Furthermore, among them are contestants like Ye Qiu and Zhan Tianyu, who possess exceptional talent and popularity, making it difficult for them not to attract attention.

Although the competition was highly anticipated, the audience actually had no objection to the outcome.

Even the fans of the Fengxiang team dare not hope that their team can create a miracle.

In fact, not only the audience, but also the members of the Fengxiang team and even the coach had given up hope.

"We've already won by making it into the top six. You all performed very well. We still have a certain gap with the Great Wall team. Don't think about winning or losing this game. The main thing is to show our strength and the style of Fengxiang University."

Seeing that the team members seemed resigned and gave up, looking worried and depressed, the coach comforted them and then patted each of them on the shoulder.

There were no tactical plans, no motivation, just simple words of comfort.

From the coach's perspective, facing such an abnormal lineup, as long as they can hold on for a while and not lose badly, that's enough.

"If you are suppressed later, don't think about tactics, just unleash your most powerful soul skills as much as possible."

The coach hesitated for a moment before speaking.

This match was watched live by at least one billion people, with over three hundred thousand spectators at the venue. Representatives from major conglomerates and organizations, as well as all the top club leaders of Glory, were present.

The performance in this match could very well directly determine the players' future development.

This is also why he told his team members to disregard tactics and focus on showcasing their soul skills.

"Ah."

Upon hearing the coach's words, team captain Zhou Ming was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood.

As the coach said, making it into the top six is ​​already a victory; they should be aiming for fourth or fifth, not the top three.

This year's class is full of super geniuses and prodigies: Yun Kai the half-orc, Ye Qiu the thorny dragon, Zhan Tianyu the six-armed demon, Huang Tianze the Spider-Man, and Lin Feng, who is invincible among his peers.

Making it into the top three was already highly unlikely.

Therefore, no matter which university you are drawn from, the result is the same.

The Great Wall team is the strongest, but they have the fewest opportunities to showcase their skills.

After some self-consolation, the Fengxiang team entered the competition venue. Although 99% of the audience supported the Great Wall team, they still gave them encouragement and cheers.

This offered the team members some consolation, but before they could even wave their thanks, the cheers and screams suddenly amplified a hundredfold, and the terrifying sound wave swept across the entire stadium like a tsunami.

The five turned around and saw the Great Wall team, led by captain Zhan Tianyu, slowly walking into the competition venue under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Hey!"

Zhou Ming took a deep breath, exchanged a glance with his teammate, and gave a wry smile.

Although they knew there was a difference in popularity, such an obvious disparity made them want to cry!

People from Beijing are so unfriendly!
At this moment, the host's voice rang out: "The competition is about to begin. Five minutes before the start of the competition, the two teams, as is customary, will come to the center of the competition venue to shake hands and greet each other."

A handshake and greeting are a small part of the pre-match routine.

Emphasizing the competitive spirit of "friendship first, competition second".

At this moment, the screen showed the team members shaking hands, all with polite smiles on their faces, but one side was relaxed and casual, while the other was helpless and solemn.

After the handshake, they exchanged glances and simple nods, but there was no conversation or harsh words. The two teams then separated again, each about twenty meters apart.

When the referee's whistle blew, the battle began.

"Roar!"

A series of roars suddenly rang out. At the start of the battle, neither side attacked immediately. Instead, they remained in place, quickly possessing their demonic spirits and entering a demonic transformation state.

The four huge screens above the sports center clearly captured these images.

This is also the coolest and most exciting scene to ignite the audience's emotions.

Undoubtedly, the audience's attention was focused on the Great Wall team.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Ye Qiu was the first to enter his demonic transformation state.

With a roar imbued with the might of a dragon, a black current swirled around Ye Qiu.

His body rapidly expanded, his hands growing larger and larger, veins bulging as they transformed into dragon claws. A dragon tail shot out from his tailbone, swaying slightly like a steel whip. Black, spiky scales spread across his entire body, gradually forming a set of black dragon scale armor. Sharp bone spikes extended from his tail to his forehead. A pair of black wings sprouted from both sides of Ye Qiu's back, wingspans over two meters long, like black blades. His originally black eyes transformed into a pair of crimson-gold vertical pupils, exuding a hint of coldness and madness.

Beside Ye Qiu was Captain Zhan Tianyu.

Originally tall and strong, he grew to a height of 2.3 meters after his demonic transformation. His entire body was dark and shiny, with mysterious blood-red patterns on his skin.

Two arms extend from his back and two from his sides, giving Zhan Tianyu a total of six arms, making him look like a demon god from mythology.

The six arms are of different lengths. The four arms that have changed are obviously 30 to 40 centimeters longer. The arms on the back are the longest. Each arm is covered with scales. The pentagonal scales are dark and sinister, exuding a chill.

After transforming into a demon, he took out weapons from behind his back. The two arms on his shoulders held longswords, the two on his stomach held long knives, and the two hands on his back held two cylindrical forging hammers.

Yang Ningbing refined the Thunder Dragon Beast from the Earth Ranking. After the demon transformation, her figure became taller and more slender, her whole body covered with purple dragon scales, and her long legs were very eye-catching. In the center of her eyes appeared pupils like vertical lines, which were dark purple, and a pair of wings stretched out from her back.

These wings, two meters long and shimmering with a metallic sheen, fluttered slightly, causing them to float above the crowd. Shooting bolts of lightning crackled across their bodies, creating a chilling sound.

Directly below Yang Ningbing was Chen Xing, a fire mage. He had refined the Sun Lion from the Earth Ranking. After his demonic transformation, his muscles swelled and grew larger, his hair grew longer and thicker, and he looked somewhat wild. Dark red lines appeared on his face, and a flame-like symbol appeared between his eyebrows, swaying as if it were burning.

At the same time, his eyes turned red, like two red gems. Most strangely, nine fireballs appeared behind him, swirling together and radiating intense heat.

Zheng Yani, the team's healer, is no different from her teammates except that she has a palm-sized, blue-white, crystal-clear lotus flower above her hands.

The lotus flower was surrounded by mist and snowflakes, giving it a somewhat mysterious appearance.

The match has just begun and the battle hasn't really started yet, but the Great Wall team has already ignited the atmosphere.

This wasn't the first time the audience had seen Ye Qiu and the others possessed by demonic spirits; they had witnessed it during last night's Rookie Challenge as well. But seeing it again, with all five of them on stage at the same time, was still breathtaking.

Four of the top-ranked demon spirits, one of which is an eighth-tier healing demon spirit. In terms of martial arts realm, Zhan Tianyu is at the sixth-rank Divine Fist realm, while the other four are at the fifth-rank realm.

Before they even made a move, the aura of Ye Qiu and his four companions made the Phoenix Team feel what despair truly meant.

How should we play against this lineup?
If it weren't for the live stream, and if it weren't for the need to showcase their skills, everyone would have wanted to surrender immediately.

The Phoenix Team had four members who refined an eighth-tier demon spirit, and one member who refined a ninth-tier demon spirit. Although it was far inferior to the demon spirits on the Earth Ranking, it was still quite good.

The demons were all quite strong, but compared to the Great Wall team, they were completely crushed.

There's no comparison between innate skills and spirits. While spirits don't determine everything, in battle, soul skills and combat techniques are far more important than spirits.

In teamwork, coordination is far more important than individual ability.

But which of the five members of the Great Wall team is a mediocre talent with only talent and no real ability?

As for cooperation, needless to say.

A sense of helplessness and despair spread through the Phoenix team.

Having made it into the top six, the members of the Fengxiang team are certainly not mentally fragile. If they could see even the slightest possibility of winning, they would never have felt such despair.

"war!"

As the team captain, Zhou Ming was the first to suppress his emotions and let out a roar.

Hearing their captain's roar, the other team members quickly came to their senses. They looked at each other, then roared back in anger and unleashed their most powerful soul skills.

Faced with a lineup like the Great Wall team, no one could find any weaknesses.

Yang Ningbing and Chen Xing are the ranged attackers, while Zhan Tianyu and Ye Qiu are the melee attackers. Ye Qiu is also a battle mage, capable of both ranged and melee attacks.

The tactical coordination they practice in training is of little significance in the face of absolute strength.

As the coach said, even if we can't win, we should still fight with the spirit we should have.

If you don't have any tactics, then just show off your most powerful soul skills.

As colorful lights burst forth, the five members of the Phoenix Team, whether near or far, unleashed their most powerful attack soul skills almost simultaneously.

"Is this how you play?"

Ye Qiu and his group of five were slightly taken aback, but they quickly guessed their opponent's thoughts.

They, too, unleashed their soul skills.

In an instant, a fierce storm raged, lightning flashed and thunder roared, boulders rolled down, flames splashed everywhere, and various soul skills were unleashed, exchanging blows in a dazzling display that drew gasps of amazement from the audience.

Three minutes later, the five members of the Phoenix Team exited their demonic transformation state and collapsed to the ground. They had some charred marks on their bodies and looked extremely disheveled, but in fact they were not seriously injured. They were just exhausted in terms of soul power and physical strength.

In the team's seat.

"I didn't see anything."

When the referee announced the end of the match and the victory of the Great Wall team, Yu Qiao said with a helpless expression.

Of the five main members of the Great Wall team, three of them, including Ye Qiu, were members of the alliance. They knew their strength, the demon spirits they had refined, and their soul skills perfectly well.

What they really wanted to see was the tactics of the Great Wall team.

Tactical coordination is the key to the game.

However, the Phoenix Team did not give the Great Wall Team any chance to implement their tactics. Not only that, they did not even display several of their Soul Skills.

The two teams stood almost in place, unleashing their soul skills at an astounding pace.

This was a completely chaotic, turn-based battle.

The five main members of the Fengxiang team unleashed almost all of their soul skills.

Perhaps knowing they were doomed to lose, they simply went ahead and showed off.

This competition is all about whose spirit level is higher and whose soul skill is more powerful.

The battle appears to be intense, with various soul skills flying everywhere, a back-and-forth exchange, and a dazzling display of skill.

Some viewers do enjoy watching these kinds of battles, but for them, they're quite boring.

It made me want to doze off.

"Although it lacks technical sophistication, I love watching these kinds of exchanges; they're so direct!"

"As expected of the Great Wall team, they won so easily!"

"It was a rather boring match; I didn't even see Ye Qiu's Diamond Soul Skill."

"This lineup is absolutely insane! It's practically an all-star team with no weaknesses whatsoever. Who can possibly win?!"

"It seems that Great Wall University will win the championship again this year."

"There's no hope for Demon Star. Red Cloud still has a chance, but the odds aren't high."

"This lineup is truly despair-inducing!"

The audience cheered and discussed among themselves.

The match was neither exciting nor anticipated.

This isn't because the Fengxiang team is weak or incompetent; it's because their opponents are simply too formidable.

During the three-minute match, the five members of the Great Wall team remained calm and their hairstyles were perfectly intact.

Although the Phoenix team was in a bit of a mess, no one was seriously injured.

Throughout the entire battle, neither team's healers had a chance to provide any treatment before the fight ended.

The post-match handshake and greeting session followed.

After the two teams left the competition area and took a short ten-minute break, the second round of the six-to-three competition began.

This match is between Moxing University and Mingzhi University.

Compared to the Great Wall University vs. Fengxiang University match, the cheers in this game were not as loud as the previous one, but in the eyes of Lin Feng and others, it was much more exciting.

There is at least tactical coordination; it's not just a simple release of soul skills.

The Demon Star team's lineup wasn't as impressive as Great Wall University's, but it was still very strong. All five main players possessed peak fifth-grade martial arts skills.

Two of them refined earth-ranked demon spirits, two refined ninth-ranked demon spirits, and one refined an eighth-ranked demon spirit.

The five main fighters of Mingzhi University all possessed martial arts skills of the fifth rank, but they were all at the early or middle stages of the fifth rank, with one at the high stage.

Of the five, two had refined ninth-tier demon spirits, and three had refined eighth-tier demon spirits. All of them were magic-based classes, and there was no healer among them.

With five magic-based characters, it's clear that Mingzhi University's fighting style is ranged attacks, magic bombardment, and extremely high output.

The battle lasted ten minutes, with no overwhelming victory or surprises for the audience. Both sides suffered injuries, and ultimately, Magic Star University emerged victorious.

Compared to Great Wall University and Moxing University, the real suspense lies in the match between Hongyun University and Central South University.

Central South University is a long-established military academy. Apart from the three major hero academies, it is the strongest among the ten universities.

In the National College Glory League, Central South University has defeated Hongyun University and Moxing University, winning three third places five times and one runner-up once.

Central South University and Hongyun University are old rivals. One is a military academy and the other is a semi-military academy. Whether it is teaching style or strength, the difference is not big.
