X-Dragon Era-Chapter 704 - 498-499: The Glory of Strategy and Brilliance_2
"The strongest?" Upon hearing Mo Dun's words, Ming Xuan was first taken aback, and then he gave a bitter smile. The strongest... He didn't lack the desire for that title; if he truly were the strongest, he would definitely not falsely deny it.
While pondering, Ming Xuan shook his head and said earnestly, "The strongest, huh? Hehe... In the Fantasy Dream Team, no one dares to claim the strongest, at the very least I don't dare, at the very least... I'm no match for our captain!"
Mo Dun was stunned by Ming Xuan's words, and then a look of shock appeared on his face. From Ming Xuan's expression, it was clear he wasn't lying. It seemed that Xin Yun really was unfathomable! He must have some special moves he hadn't yet revealed.
Seeing Mo Dun's shocked expression, Ming Xuan shook his head and smiled. In fact... Xin Yun didn't have much left to hide, it's just that... the average person wouldn't understand the principle behind it.
If Xin Yun were to face Mo Dun, it might end in a draw, or it might come down to a referee's decision to determine the winner. But if Xin Yun faced Ming Xuan, the victor would definitely be Xin Yun, and the victory would come very easily.
Counteracted! That's right... Ming Xuan was significantly counteracted by Xin Yun. Although everything about Ming Xuan was perfect, Xin Yun's Thunderbolt completely restrained him, leaving no room for him to maneuver.
A single Thunderbolt would paralyze the Peacock Dragon instantly. With Yinglong's speed, it would be able to reach the Peacock Dragon's side in an instant, taking advantage of the moment of paralysis to directly annihilate the Peacock Dragon.
In fact, the Peacock Dragon is a mage-type Giant Dragon with very weak defense. This was the reason why Ming Xuan had been defeated in the past. Xin Yun's Thunderbolt, along with Yinglong's speed, were precisely what Ming Xuan feared most, leaving him utterly unable to cope.
However, Mo Dun was different. Even if he allowed Yinglong to get close, it wouldn't be a big issue; the brief paralysis would soon pass. Even if Yinglong could unleash a Super Rank attack, Mo Dun could rely on poison explosion to neutralize everything. Thus... Xin Yun could at most gain an advantage in the situation, but not enough to destroy Mo Dun.
Mo Dun countered Xin Yun, Xin Yun countered Ming Xuan, while Ming Xuan just happened to counter Mo Dun, forming a cycle. It was quite a coincidence and also very peculiar. In such counteracting situations, Xin Yun fighting Ming Xuan and Ming Xuan fighting Mo Dun would be incredibly simple. This is the power of countering.
However, all these were naturally beyond Mo Dun's imagination. Although he understood the principle, he found it hard to believe that this was the reason. The most important reason was that the members of the Fantasy Dream Team seemed too mysterious. Under the veil of mystery, many simple answers were directly overlooked.
With Mo Dun conceding proactively, the Fantasy Dream Team successfully made it through the fourth round of competition. Over the past four rounds, the Fantasy Dream Team had encountered two of the future Nine Great Experts: An Xi of the Dark Giant Dragon and the Poison Dragon Mo Dun. In the remaining seven rounds, three more of the future Nine Great Experts would appear: the Light Giant Dragon Saint Radiance, the Diamond Giant Dragon Ka Ka, and the second-ranked Death Sand Dragon Cang Mang!
With the conclusion of the fourth round, due to Ming Xuan's impressive performance, the Fantasy Dream Team was elevated to a terrifying height. Up to this point, all five members of the Fantasy Dream Team had become the most dazzling stars, with their thrones on the leaderboard even more secure, virtually unshakable!
In the next two rounds, the Fantasy Dream Team continued their triumphant march, effortlessly defeating two more teams. Up until the sixth round, the Fantasy Dream Team could be described as the centre of attention, unrivaled and peerless. However, the most fundamental reason was that in these two teams, there were no future Nine Great Experts.
Obviously, starting from the seventh round, the Fantasy Dream Team once again faced complications. Among the remaining four teams, three of them included one of the future Nine Great Experts: Saint Radiance, Ka Ka, and Cang Mang, who would appear in sequence.
As the competition reached this stage, the organizing committee released the list of the Top Ten Experts. Unlike the previous life Xin Yun remembered with the Nine Great Experts, this life featured the Top Ten, with the additional person naturally being Xin Yun himself. Notably, Xin Yun was ranked first!
Some might wonder, why was he ranked first? Didn't Ming Xuan and Po Kong also perform well? Actually, the reason is quite simple. First, Xin Yun's performance was by no means inferior, and in some aspects, he was even astutely impressive. Secondly... The most important reason was that Xin Yun was the captain of the Fantasy Dream Team! According to the customary practice of this world, the captain is the strongest person within the team!
Was Xin Yun the strongest person in the Fantasy Dream Team? Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't... But Xin Yun would definitely never dare to say so. If it really came down to a fight, the outcome would be hard to predict. Po Kong, Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, and Ming Xuan all had the potential to defeat him, just that the chances were smaller. There is no such thing as an undefeated general, a moment's carelessness could instantly change the result.
However, if all conditions were disregarded, then without a doubt, with several Great Methods at his disposal, Xin Yun was undoubtedly the first, the indisputable strongest. It's just that... this was the World Academy Challenge, where the use of any Great Methods was not allowed.
As the matchups for the seventh round were announced, Xin Yun and the others once again gathered together. In the dimly lit meeting room, all seven members of the Fantasy Dream Team were present, devising respective strategies and tactics for the opponents they were about to face.
