Douluo: Infinite Lottery System

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Saber vs. the Shrek Seven Devils



The subsequent battles were relatively unremarkable.

Because two-on-two matchups offered greater fault tolerance, there were no overwhelmingly one-sided or embarrassing scenes.

Of course, Dai Mubai might have been Yu Xiaogang's first test subject, used as a teaching example for Tang San and the others.

But from just a few words, Xiao Tianyang had basically figured out Yu Xiaogang's approach.

To put it simply— Not everyone could be as invincible as Xiao Tianyang, nor could they possess the overwhelming talent of Saber. Therefore, teamwork became the only viable path...

And in a way, this was how the soul masters of Douluo continent should be.

After all, whether it was for future competitions or real-world experience, seven-person teams were the most common configuration.

Perhaps, this was the deeper lesson Yu Xiaogang intended to convey.

But just as Xiao Tianyang was analyzing all this, Yu Xiaogang suddenly turned toward him and Saber, his expression serious.

"I believe that, after spending time together, you all now have a clear understanding of Tianyang's strength," Yu Xiaogang said. "To put it simply, he is your ultimate goal to surpass in the future."

"Now, I'll give you two choices: You can either challenge Tianyang with bare hands, or you can face Saber, who will be using her martial soul at peak condition. Decide for yourselves."

Xiao Tianyang: "..."

Everyone: "..."

'This was a tricky situation, wasn't it?'

Whether it was Xiao Tianyang or Saber, both of them had displayed overwhelming superiority.

Xiao Tianyang's strength was outright crushing.

Meanwhile, Saber possessed combat experience that none of them could hope to match.

Even if all seven of them fought together, they weren't confident in their chances of victory.

If Yu Xiaogang hadn't presented them with this challenge, they wouldn't even have entertained such thoughts.

But unfortunately, the choice still had to be made. This was, after all, an assigned class task.

After exchanging glances with the others, Tang San stepped forward and spoke solemnly.

"We challenge Saber!"

"It seems they're underestimating you," Xiao Tianyang smirked as he stirred the pot.

Xiao Wu, feeling a wave of malice from him, quickly clarified, "No! It's just that we have no chance of winning against you!"

"I like hearing the truth." Xiao Tianyang chuckled, then turned to Saber. "Do you want me to share some of their combat details with you?"

"No need," Saber shook her head, stepping into the open field with a serious expression.

Xiao Tianyang took a few steps back but suddenly remembered something. With a playful smile, he added,

"Oh, I forgot to mention—Saber always fights at 100% of her strength, no matter the opponent. To her, this is a form of respect."

Tang San: "..."

Ning Rongrong, standing behind, muttered under her breath, "I think we made the wrong choice..."

"Don't jump to conclusions before the match is over," Dai Mubai said in a deep voice. "Besides, do you think we'd stand any chance if we had chosen Tianyang instead?"

Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Tianyang stood aside, observing the match.

After some thought, Yu Xiaogang asked, "Who do you think will win?"

"I have absolute confidence in Saber," Xiao Tianyang replied, looking completely at ease.

Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly. "Saber's potential is certainly extraordinary, but facing seven opponents at once—she doesn't seem to have the overwhelming advantage that you do."

"You still don't understand Saber well enough," Xiao Tianyang chuckled. "In fact, if my raw strength weren't superior to hers, I might not be able to beat her in an actual fight."

Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted sharply.

He knew that before joining the academy, Xiao Tianyang had already challenged Zhao Wuji.

And Zhao Wuji had made no effort to conceal the result of that battle.

If Xiao Tianyang was saying this seriously, then...

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel a chill.

But how was this possible?

Xiao Tianyang didn't pay much attention to Yu Xiaogang's reaction.

From his perspective, everything was simply logical.

After all, while Saber had been transmigrated into this world and possessed its corresponding memories, her past experiences remained intact.

And given that the system had never shortchanged Xiao Tianyang in any way, he knew for certain—Saber's combat experience was something that couldn't be overlooked.

As the legendary King Arthur who had participated in multiple Holy Grail Wars, how could she possibly lack battle experience?

Xiao Tianyang firmly believed in her strength.

With both sides prepared, Yu Xiaogang finally snapped out of his thoughts and waved his hand.

"Begin!"

As soon as the words fell, the first and third spirit rings on Saber's sword lit up simultaneously.

An overwhelming pressure erupted from her body.

In the next instant, she lightly tapped her toes—And vanished.

"Be careful!" Before Tang San could finish his warning, Saber had already appeared in front of Ning Rongrong, sword raised and poised to strike!

Ning Rongrong's face turned pale, but just as the sword was about to land—

A strand of Blue Silver Grass swiftly lifted her into the air.

Saber's sword cut through empty space.

"Second soul skill—Shining Road!"

A brilliant arc of golden sword energy slashed forward, severing the Blue Silver Grass in an instant. At the same time, Saber's sword flashed again—this time aiming directly at Ning Rongrong's neck!

"So strong!" Xiao Wu gasped.

Right from the start, Saber had used her first and third soul skills together, immediately targeting their most fragile support-type member.

Was this really just a training match?

Could it be that she truly believed fighting at full power was the greatest respect for an opponent?

Everyone else had reacted too slowly.

And those who did react weren't fast enough. They could only watch as Saber's blade hovered right above Ning Rongrong's fair skin.

"Ning Rongrong, eliminated." Yu Xiaogang's voice rang out.

After all, every martial soul was different—if Saber had to hold back her attacks, it would be meaningless. Otherwise, with just one strike, someone might actually lose their life.

"Tang San, Boss Dai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun—you must hold Saber back for at least two seconds! Only then will I have time to control her!"

Tang San quickly devised a plan. "Once I immobilizes her, Xiao Wu will use Teleportation to attack her immediately!"

"Third soul skill—Phoenix Wing Ascension!"

Fiery wings erupted from Ma Hongjun's back, lifting him into the air as flames gathered in his mouth.

"First soul skill—Phoenix Fire Wire!"

Instead of attacking Saber directly, he aimed at her next possible foothold.

This was a strategy Xiao Tianyang had once taught him—predicting an enemy's movement rather than reacting to it.

A streak of fire shot down from the sky!

At the same time, Dai Mubai activated his first and third spirit abilities, gathering a ball of white energy.

"Second soul skill—White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"

Rather than attacking Saber head-on, he aimed to block her escape route.

Zhu Zhuqing had also taken position ahead, ready to strike.

With every possible retreat cut off, Saber was left with no choice but to charge forward.

But to everyone's shock—She didn't move at all.

"Second soul skill—Shining Path!"

This time, the golden sword energy formed an arc—A Round Table Slash!

"BOOM!"

Ma Hongjun's flames—extinguished!

Dai Mubai's energy wave—shattered!

Zhu Zhuqing—forced to retreat!

In an instant, their carefully planned assault had collapsed entirely...
