Chapter 264: Interchangeable Control Systems
Seeing Li Yang use his Mirror of Reflection Martial Soul once again to teleport Dai Weisi away, Yu Tianlin did not stubbornly continue targeting Dai Weisi. Instead, he suddenly changed direction and charged straight at Li Yang, who was not far away.
Based on Yu Tianlin's observations, although Li Yang's Mirror of Reflection Martial Soul was extremely powerful, it also had a clear limitation: it could only perform one teleportation at a time.
That meant that if Li Yang chose to teleport Dai Weisi, then he himself would be left completely exposed. That was why Yu Tianlin immediately shifted his target.
After all, Li Yang's ability was simply too troublesome. If he could be dealt with first, that would naturally be the best outcome. As for Dai Weisi, Yu Tianlin did not care too much. In any case, Dai Weisi was no match for him, so letting him off for the moment did not matter.
Faced with Yu Tianlin suddenly charging at him, Li Yang's expression changed dramatically. He wanted to react, but it was already too late.
Yu Tianlin had just forcefully torn his way out of the teleportation passage and landed directly in the rear of Star Luo Royal Academy Team One, not far from Li Yang. At such a short distance, unless Li Yang had activated his Mirror of Reflection to protect himself from the start, there was no way for him to avoid this. But now, Yu Tianlin had deliberately baited him into using Mirror of Reflection on Dai Weisi first, so Li Yang was doomed.
In the next instant, Yu Tianlin had already arrived in front of Li Yang, his Dragon Claw shooting out directly. Li Yang tried to dodge, but it was useless. Yu Tianlin's claw pressed firmly onto his shoulder.
A powerful electric current erupted and surged through Li Yang's body. His body convulsed violently, and then he rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.
Seeing that Li Yang had completely lost his fighting ability, Yu Tianlin smiled faintly. He stopped releasing the current, then casually threw Li Yang out of the arena.
Very good. 3 members of Star Luo Royal Academy Team One were already out of the fight, and they were important members at that, namely the Control System Spirit Master and the Support System Spirit Masters. At this point, defeat was already written all over them.
However, just as everyone thought Star Luo Royal Academy Team One was about to lose and the outcome had already been decided, the situation changed again.
Earlier, Li Yang had teleported Dai Weisi into the center of the arena, right near the place where Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuyun were fighting.
The moment she saw this, Zhu Zhuyun moved to snatch Dai Weisi back, while Shui Bing'er naturally stepped in to stop her. The two immediately clashed.
But at that exact moment, Dai Weisi, who had supposedly been injured and unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, sprang up from the ground, and launched a sneak attack at Shui Bing'er from behind.
So that was it. Under Dong Hui and Yang Mingxin's treatment, Dai Weisi had actually already recovered, but he had deliberately pretended to stay unconscious, waiting for the right opportunity.
With Shui Bing'er's usual caution, she had already anticipated that Dai Weisi might launch a sneak attack. So even though the sudden pincer attack startled her, she did not panic. She immediately used her 3rd Spirit Ability, Resist Ice Ring.
This move could repel everything around her with herself as the center, making it the most suitable choice for this kind of sudden encirclement.
An ice blue light burst out from Shui Bing'er's body and spread in all directions, instantly pushing away Zhu Zhuyun, who was in front of her.
Originally, Shui Bing'er had also expected Dai Weisi behind her to be blasted back as well. But to her surprise, Dai Weisi actually resisted the effect of Resist Ice Ring.
The method he used was extremely simple. His 4th spirit ring lit up, rich purple light gathered on his tiger claws, and then he slashed forward with full force, forcibly breaking through the impact of Resist Ice Ring.
"How is that possible?!"
This completely exceeded Shui Bing'er's expectations. Although the repelling force of Resist Ice Ring was not absolute and could indeed be resisted by someone strong enough, Dai Weisi should not have reached that level.
But there was no time to think about the reason. The immediate priority was to block Dai Weisi's attack.
Unfortunately, at such a critical moment, there was no time to activate her 4th Spirit Ability, Meteor Ice Cone, and as for her 1st Spirit Ability, Ice Seal, it would probably not have much effect. Under those circumstances, Shui Bing'er could only use her 2nd Spirit Ability.
Ice Ring Armor, a defensive Spirit Ability that could provide protection to herself or her allies at crucial moments.
As her 2nd spirit ring lit up, an ice ring instantly wrapped around Shui Bing'er's body, and a layer of crystal blue ice armor appeared over her.
Clearly, all Shui Bing'er could do now was defend with everything she had and hope to block the attack.
In the next moment, Dai Weisi's tiger claws, glowing with purple light, slammed heavily into Shui Bing'er's body. With a cracking sound, the crystal blue armor around her shattered apart, and the force of the blow sent her flying.
At that moment, Yu Tianlin had just finished dealing with Li Yang and was about to turn around to handle Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun when he saw this happen.
"Dai Weisi, you're asking for death!"
Yu Tianlin roared, instantly withdrawing the lightning around his body. His speed exploded to the limit, and in the blink of an eye he caught Shui Bing'er before she hit the ground.
"Bing'er, how do you feel?"
"I... I'm fine." Shui Bing'er's face was full of pain, but the moment she heard Yu Tianlin's voice, she relaxed a little. "It's just... my head hurts so much..."
Yu Tianlin immediately checked her condition and found no obvious external injuries. Although the shattering of Ice Ring Armor had looked severe, it had in fact blocked all of the physical damage.
Yet Shui Bing'er still felt intense pain in her head, which meant she had suffered a mental attack.
Dai Weisi's 4th Spirit Ability was actually a skill that specialized mainly in mental attacks, with physical attack as a secondary effect.
Still, Shui Bing'er had not fainted on the spot and was even still able to speak, only suffering from a splitting headache. That meant her mental strength was still fairly strong, which let Yu Tianlin finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, the White Tiger Martial Soul was not known for mental power. So even if it had a spirit ring skill that involved mental attacks, the strength of that aspect would still be relatively limited. Moreover, Shui Bing'er was a Control System Spirit Master, and her mental strength was naturally higher than that of most other Spirit Masters. That was why she was only in this condition.
"Mental attack... be careful..." Even while enduring the intense pain in her head, Shui Bing'er still forced herself to warn Yu Tianlin.
"I know. Rest first. This battle will be over soon."
After softly comforting Shui Bing'er, Yu Tianlin handed her over to Xue Wu, who had rushed over from the rear to check on her. Then he slowly raised his head and looked toward Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun not far away. The anger in his heart instantly flared, mixed with a trace of self blame.
If I hadn't chosen to deal with Li Yang first, and had gone after Dai Weisi instead, Bing'er would never have ended up like this.
That thought flashed across Yu Tianlin's mind, and his eyes instantly turned sharp and cold.
As for Zhu Zhuyun, she could wait for now.
But Dai Weisi, how shameless did a grown man have to be to launch a sneak attack on a girl from behind?
Today, Yu Tianlin was absolutely going to teach him a lesson.
