Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 655 - 655 – Splitting Up



655 – Splitting Up

“Let me emphasize this one last time. This is not a drill, nor is it an assessment. This is a real battle. Also, we will be facing Proto Dragons that cannot communicate and don’t have much intelligence. It will only attack us ferociously. So, if any of you make the slightest mistake, you might meet your end here, or watch your companions die because of your mistake. This world is very cruel, and we have been groomed by Shrek Academy for these few years and enjoyed various benefits of the academy. It is time for us to pay the price. After this one year, we will truly be Shrek people. There will nearly be no problem for us to graduate from the Outer Court, and we can even enter the Inner Court. If we can’t get through and complete the mission, then we will be eliminated. Just like when we went to the Elven Planet for the ceremony, since we came together, we will walk together. Just like what I promised all of you, I hope that all of you will not give up nor abandon anyone and overcome this together.”

“We won’t abandon anyone, nor give up !” Everyone shouted in unison, causing the other Sky Fighters to look at them.

Lan Xuanyu said in a low voice, “Alright, I will start distributing the teams. As there are a total of 33 people in the class, it is impossible for me to give orders to every single one of you, so we will split up into different teams. Each team will be led by a team leader. My orders will only be given to the team leader. Now, all assault-type soul masters, step forward. Agility-type soul masters, step forward. Defense-type soul masters, step forward. Control-type soul masters, step forward. Support-type soul masters, step forward. Make five groups.”

He did not group according to the number of people, but according to their ability.

There was no doubt that the number of assault type soul masters that could get into Shrek Academy was the highest. More than half of them were assault type soul masters.

There were about the same number of agility-type soul masters and control-type soul masters. There weren’t any pure defense-type soul masters, and there weren’t any support-type soul masters either.

This was a very realistic situation. It was very difficult for auxiliary-type soul masters to get into Shrek Academy because Shrek’s test was simply too difficult. Almost all of the support-type soul masters in Shrek Academy were specially scouted so that they could get in.

“Xuanyu, what team am I in?” Lan Mengqin looked at Lan Xuanyu. She really didn’t know what type of soul master she was.

In the past, she was an offensive and control-type soul master. But after obtaining the powerful Spirit Soul of the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji, her support abilities had become especially outstanding.

“Count yourself as another category and stay by my side first. Also, from now on, we will be a Sky Fighter team. Everyone, please call me captain. Below me will be the team leaders. Assault-type soul masters will be split into two teams : those that are good at close combat and long-range attacks.”

In terms of offense, roughly 60% of them were good at close combat while 40% were good at long range attacks.

Lan Xuanyu said in a low voice, “We will now split into teams, the first team leader, Tang Yuge. Tang Yuge will be in charge of all the assault-type close combat soul masters.”

Including Qian Lei, there were a total of 10 people, including Bai Xiuxiu.

Initially, everyone thought that Bai Xiuxiu would be the leader of this group. It was obvious that this was the group with the largest number of people. Everyone knew about the relationship between Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Xuanyu, but the one appointed was Tang Yuge.

“Second group, long-range offensive soul master. Lin Donghui will be in charge.” This appointment was even more shocking because in this group, the strongest was undoubtedly Lan Xuanyu’s good teammate, Yuanen Huihui. From the time they entered the academy, Yuanen Huihui was the strongest. This group had a total of seven people.

“Third team, agility-type soul masters. Liu Feng will lead and you will be in charge of scouting.” There were a total of seven agility-type soul masters.

“Team 4, control-type soul masters. Ding Zhuohan will be in charge of it. Li Han, Li Bin, Jia Yu, all three of you will belong to this team.” Li Han, Li Bin, and Jia Yu were the three people who had combined their Martial Soul Fusion Skills to perform the Bright Moon in the Sea but were unable to harm Lan Xuanyu. At the same time, under Lan Xuanyu’s enhancement, they were able to unleash even stronger power. The three of them were together naturally because of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Li Han’s Martial Soul was Tide, which was supposed to be a long-range attack. Li Bin’s Martial Soul was Bright Moon, which was also a long-range attack, and he had been transferred over. The Martial Soul he controlled was called Sea Creature Summoning.

The three of them went to the control team. Lan Xuanyu hesitated for a moment before saying, “The three of you should go over to the long-range attack area and let Lin Donghui command.”

It was true that Ocean Life Bright Moon had the ability to control a large area, but it also had the ability to attack a large area. Furthermore, Tide and Bright Moon were both long-range attacks. The Summoning of the Sea Creatures had to be coordinated with Tide to unleash its maximum power. Hence, it seemed more suitable for long-range attacks.

Jia Yu, who was originally considered a control-type, had joined the long-range attack team and it added another person to Lin Donghui’s team. They became eight.

The control team had one less person, but there were still six people.

Other than Lan Mengqin and Lan Xuanyu, the rest were allocated.

Lan Xuanyu said in a low voice, “Lan Mengqin and I will form the support-type team, and I will be in charge. When we move, the agility-type soul masters will be in charge of scouting and looking for the Proto Dragons. When we fight, the team leaders will listen to my command. The first team will be in front, and the second and fourth teams will be behind. Our support team will be in the middle. Get ready to move out.”

Real combat was the most important way to test one’s strength and familiarize oneself with the environment. Lan Xuanyu didn’t have a clear idea of how to fight against Proto Dragons. Only by exploring in battle with the Proto Dragons could he truly understand.

The mission had a level three difficulty, and the academy had tasked them to accumulate a total of 24 difficulty points. Logically speaking, this difficulty should be something they could handle.

Through the guidance of the communication device, they quickly found the exit of the base. After scanning and checking their communication device, the metal gate slowly opened. The first mission of the Star War Experiment class officially began.

Lan Xuanyu said in a low voice, “Liu Feng, go out and conduct a solo investigation. Find a Proto Dragon and lure it over.”

“Yes.”

The oxygen in the fortress was relatively sufficient and isolated from the radiation. When they left the fortress, they immediately felt difficulty in breathing. It was as if there was an invisible energy that was subtly corroding their bodies.

The weather outside was gray and the air was filled with faint metallic elements that resembled metal fragments.

Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to survive for long in such air and it was relatively better for soul masters. At the very least, soul masters could still breathe in such air and use their soul power to resist the radiation.

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes. He had already determined that fighting in such an environment would consume more soul power than usual.

A group of 33 people left the base and immediately moved forward.

The area around had already been cleared out, so there were naturally no Proto Dragons in this area. Once they entered the firing range, they would become cannon fodder under those powerful soul cannons.

The first team was at the front, while the other teams were at the back. Qian Lei was the most eye-catching as he was the tallest and strongest in the entire class.

Lan Xuanyu sat in the middle as they moved forward quickly.

Just as they were moving forward, there was a rumbling sound behind them. When they turned their heads, they saw two all-terrain war chariots speeding over.

This type of all-terrain vehicle was somewhat like an armored vehicle with wheels and tracks below, suitable for traveling in the vast majority of places. And when they crossed the mountains, it would transform. There would be some extremely elastic metal limbs coming out that could bounce and grab onto hard rocks. There was also an advanced scanning system that could scan various terrains and choose the best way to travel.
