Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 36 Yao: Want to switch to support? Have you asked the sword in my hand first?
Lost.

They actually... lost so quickly.

So thorough?!
They didn't even... touch the hem of each other's clothes?

This...how is this possible?

They believed that after undergoing rigorous training under their mentor Sima Yi, they had been transformed and were qualified to challenge the King's Team.

But reality gave them a resounding slap in the face.

Their prized formation proved utterly ineffective against that bizarre "bouncy ball."

Their pride and joy were shattered by the overwhelming attacks of the King's Team members, making them as worthless as chickens and dogs.

The huge sense of disparity made it difficult for these proud and arrogant geniuses to accept for a while.

Especially for the outstanding members of the team, such as Dugu Yan and Long Ling, their faces burned with shame and they felt utterly ashamed.

"How...how could this happen..."

Dugu Yan muttered to herself in a daze, she hadn't even had time to unleash her strongest control soul skill.

It was only then that they suddenly noticed the little girl, Cai Wenji, who was floating in mid-air and was the "culprit" behind all of this.

Four spirit rings had quietly risen beneath her feet without her noticing.

Yellow, purple, purple, black!

Four spirit rings.

Soul Sect! ?
This little girl, who looks no more than three or four years old, is actually... a fourth-ring Soul Master.

Moreover, judging from her relaxed and carefree demeanor just now, she was clearly in complete control.

monster.

This Jixia King's Team... is full of monsters.

The members of the Xiaochu team were filled with bitterness and helplessness.

Below the arena, the students watching the match were completely silent.

Although they had anticipated that the Kings team would win, no one expected it to be so easy.

Such a crushing defeat.

That new support player... is way too overpowered!
Sima Yi, who led the Xiaochu team, remained calm, showing no sign of joy or anger.

He seemed completely unsurprised, or even... indifferent, to his team's crushing defeat.
Just then, Zhuge Liang, the team leader of the Kings team, spoke up with a smile.

He glanced at the dejected members of the Xiaochu team on the arena, then at Sima Yi beside him, who remained expressionless. He lightly waved his feather fan and said in a clear voice:

"Hehe, it seems the outcome is already decided."

"but…"

He changed the subject, looking at the Xiaochu team members with a gentle gaze.

"In the previous battle, our Kings team won by taking advantage of the surprise attack and the information gap."

“You were unaware of Wenji’s abilities before, and you suffered a loss due to being caught off guard. It was not your fault in the battle.”

"Determining the outcome in this way is somewhat unfair to the members of the Xiaochu team, and it does not achieve the true training effect."

He looked at Sima Yi and smiled:

"Mr. Zhongda, in my opinion, how about... letting them rest for a while and then having another match?"

How about another match?
Upon hearing Zhuge Liang's words, the once disheartened members of the Xiaochu team instantly rekindled their flames.

That's right.

They just lost.

But the main reason they lost was because they didn't understand the little girl's abilities and were caught off guard.

If they were to have another chance, they would be on guard and would not have suffered such a crushing defeat. In fact, they might even have a chance!
All the members of the Xiaochu team looked at their mentor, Sima Yi, with eager eyes.

Sima Yi's icy gaze and Zhuge Liang's smiling eyes met briefly in the air.

He knew, of course, that Zhuge Liang was doing him a favor and also wanted to thoroughly test the strength of the King's Team.

However… he did want to see how much his disciples could improve after suffering such a great loss.

"can."

Sima Yi nodded, agreeing to Zhuge Liang's suggestion.

"Great."

The Xiaochu team cheered immediately.

"Thank you very much, Teacher Zhuge!"

On behalf of the team members, Dugu Yan bowed gratefully to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang smiled and waved his hand.

Just then, Cai Wenji, who was in mid-air, plucked the strings of her zither once more.

This time, it's no longer a fast-paced, controlled melody, but a melodious, soothing movement full of life.

"Third Soul Skill, Lingering Melody!"

A soft green halo fell like spring rain.

It precisely covered the two team members on the ring...

Regardless of the members of the King's Team who have just experienced the depletion of battle.

Even the injured members of the Xiaochu team, bathed in this green halo, felt a warm and comfortable energy flowing into their bodies.

The injuries on his body were healing rapidly.

The consumed soul power is rapidly recovering.

Even mental fatigue vanished amidst the heavenly music.

Just a few moments.

Both teams, with a total of fourteen members, have all recovered to their peak condition.

It was as if the fierce battle that had just taken place had never happened.

"!!!"

What... what terrifying group recovery ability is this?

Below the arena, all the students watching were stunned.

Those students, especially those specializing in support skills, were practically staring in disbelief.

Ning Rongrong's mouth gaped slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief. Although her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had the best amplification ability in the world, it was not particularly strong in healing and recovery.

And this little girl in front of us was able to instantly restore the soul power and injuries of fourteen Soul Masters and Soul Kings?
This...this is simply a mobile healing miracle!
No wonder... no wonder she became the core support for the King of Glory team.

This ability is practically a bug in large-scale team battles.

Thanks to Cai Wenji's powerful healing, both teams quickly recovered.

"Alright, now that you've recovered, then..."

Sima Yi's cold voice rang out again.

"The second match begins!"

This time, no one dared to be careless in the slightest.

Especially the Xiaochu team.

They learned a great deal from the previous game.

"Now, do it!"

Almost the instant Sima Yi announced the start.

Dugu Yan then let out a sharp shout.

Adhering to the "fine tradition" of the Soul Master world of "killing the support first".

They also followed the targeted tactics devised for them by Sima Yi.

Whoosh.

In the team, the fastest agility-type girl shot out like an arrow.

Her target was Cai Wenji, who appeared to be the most vulnerable but was actually the most threatening in mid-air.

at the same time.

Dugu Yan's Azure Phosphorus Serpent Venom spread instantly.

This time, however, the attack was no longer aimed at the entire field, but rather precisely at the other members of the King's team, attempting to interfere with and restrict their movements, creating opportunities for their teammates to launch surprise attacks.

Xuanmo roared, activating the Xuan Turtle Armor at full power, placing it at the forefront of the team, ready to withstand any potential counterattack.

The seven-colored dragon martial spirit in Long Ling's hand shone brightly.

A powerful amplification was instantly applied to the agility-based girl who had launched the surprise attack.

The twin brothers, known for their aggressive attacks, roared simultaneously, flanking the girl from both sides to support her agile attack.

For an instant.

The Jixia Xiaochu team displayed a completely different level of tactical awareness and execution compared to the first game.

The goals are clear, the division of labor is clear, and the cooperation is excellent.

Clearly, Sima Yi's grueling training and the crushing defeat in the previous battle have truly helped them grow.

however.

They were facing an even more powerful Jixia Kings team.

"You want to cut off our Wenji sister?"

Did you ask about the sword in my hand?!

Dongfang Yao laughed loudly, and in a flash, the Star Sword accurately blocked the path of the agile girl.

"Don't even think about it!"

Hua Mulan slammed her heavy sword into the ground, unleashing a mountain-like aura that firmly locked onto the attacking brothers of the Xiao Chu team.

"Through the Looking Glass."

Mirror's figure instantly appeared beside Cai Wenji, and countless mirror images appeared, confusing her.

Pei Qinhu directly confronted Xuanmo's defense.

Gongsun Li moved like a butterfly flitting among flowers, disrupting Dugu Yan's control.

"It's my turn now."

Ji Xiaoman's figure disappeared again.

The second match.

From the very beginning, the game entered a fierce and intense phase.

The two exchanged blows, their soul skills clashing, their figures intertwined.

Compared to the crushing victory in the first match, this match was undoubtedly countless times more exciting.

With their superior teamwork and unwavering determination, the Xiaochu team actually managed to put up a real fight against the powerful King team.

It even caused considerable trouble for the Kings team at one point.

Dugu Yan's precise control.

Longling's powerful support.

Xuanmo's resilient defense.

A nimble-minded girl's desperate surprise attack?
The brothers launched a fierce attack.

They brought the tactics taught by Sima Yi to their fullest potential.

It also demonstrated the indomitable fighting spirit of the "Xiaochu".

The students watching from below the stage were filled with excitement.

Although…

The final result remained unchanged.

Faced with an absolute gap in strength, and with the King Team's even more terrifying individual abilities and equally tacit teamwork, the situation was dire.

After nearly ten minutes of fierce fighting.

The Jixia Xiaochu team, unfortunately, suffered another defeat.

All team members lost their fighting ability due to exhaustion of soul power or injury.

But this time, Sima Yi, who had always been expressionless, was surprised to see his disciples, who, despite their defeat, had shown remarkable progress.

On that perpetually icy face, a barely perceptible smile appeared—a rare occurrence.

He slowly opened his mouth and uttered two words:
"…good."

Sorry, I overslept. I saw that I've made it onto the QReader VIP ranking list, so as promised, I'll be adding an extra chapter today. If my ranking improves, I'll add an extra chapter for every 10 places I'm ranked in, and if I enter the top ten, I'll be releasing ten chapters in one go!!
