Chapter 348: Frontline and Rear Battlefields
The high-level battle situation was already clear. Killing Spirit Hall's five Titled Douluo was only a matter of time.
However, on the mid- and low-level battlefield, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was under tremendous pressure.
Originally, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only had four thousand Spirit Masters in total, and one thousand had been specifically sent to retake the Clan gate and cut off Spirit Hall's retreat.
Therefore, on the battlefield in front of the main hall, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had only three thousand people, yet they had to withstand Spirit Hall's fierce assault while being outnumbered by more than double. Naturally, it was incredibly difficult.
Fortunately, the Support-type Spirit Masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were very effective.
Because Spirit Hall was the attacking side, their team did not have any Support-type Spirit Masters. They were all attackers.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, on the other hand, had gathered all the Support-type Spirit Masters they had ever recruited, providing immense help in this battle.
Among them, the two Support-type Spirit Masters who had the greatest impact were Shao Xin and Ye Lingling.
Because Shao Xin was a teacher at Blue Tyrant Academy, and Blue Tyrant Academy was backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, at this critical moment, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan naturally mobilized the forces of Blue Tyrant Academy. Shao Xin was naturally among them.
Shao Xin's Martial Soul was Candy Bean. His cultivation had reached rank seventy-one, making him a rare Food-type Spirit Saint. Food-type Spirit Masters found cultivation extremely difficult, so for him to reach the Spirit Saint level meant he was definitely among the top five Food-type Spirit Masters.
Facing this great battle, Shao Xin did not use his powerful Spirit Abilities. Instead, he frantically used his first and second Spirit Abilities to create large numbers of Candy Beans for the disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to consume.
With Shao Xin's ability, creating three thousand Candy Beans in a short time was not a problem. This ensured that every disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan on the battlefield could use them for recovery.
Aside from Shao Xin, the other outstanding Support-type Spirit Master was Ye Lingling.
She had recently broken through to rank sixty and successfully obtained her sixth spirit ring, becoming a Spirit Emperor-level Support-type Spirit Master.
The effect of Nine Heart Begonia was large-scale group healing. After Ye Lingling consumed the eight-petal immortal orchid, it gained an additional recovery effect. Now, the six-ring Nine Heart Begonia could cover all three thousand allies without issue. However, Ye Lingling's cultivation was much lower than Shao Xin's, so she was not as relaxed as he was.
Fortunately, Ye Lingling could freely adjust the range and effect of Nine Heart Begonia, so she canceled the recovery effect and only applied the healing effect to her three thousand allies.
With this adjustment, and with the dragon ganoderma leaves Yu Tianlin had specifically left for her to restore her spirit power, Ye Lingling was still able to sustain herself.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan also had several Support-type Spirit Masters whose spirit power cultivation was even higher than Ye Lingling's, and some even surpassed Shao Xin. However, their Martial Souls were not as suitable for large-scale battlefields as Ye Lingling's and Shao Xin's, so their performance was not as eye-catching. Even so, they still played a significant role.
Thus, with the help of these Support-type Spirit Masters, the three thousand members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan firmly held their ground in front of the Clan's main hall, resisting Spirit Hall's forces despite being outnumbered by more than double.
Spirit Hall naturally knew that these Support-type Spirit Masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were a serious problem, and they wanted to conduct a decapitation strike by eliminating them first.
However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was not foolish. They protected their Support-type Spirit Masters extremely well. Unless a Titled Douluo personally intervened, it would be impossible to kill a Support-type Spirit Master from among three thousand people.
But Spirit Hall's five Titled Douluo were all fighting Yu Yuanzhen and the others, so they could not intervene at all.
Since that was the case, Spirit Hall could only wear them down.
Although the situation seemed to have entered a stalemate because of the Support-type Spirit Masters, a numerical advantage was still a numerical advantage. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could not hold on forever. Their defense would collapse sooner or later.
While the three thousand members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan held the line on the front battlefield, the one thousand people sent toward the Clan gate had successfully retaken it.
After seizing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's gate, Spirit Hall had left fewer than five hundred people to guard it, while the rest had poured into the Clan's territory.
Now, the one thousand members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan faced fewer than five hundred Spirit Hall members, giving them a numerical advantage of more than double. Coupled with the element of surprise and the intervention of powerful experts, they quickly recaptured the area.
"Two Grand Elders," Yu Tianlin said solemnly, listening to the earth-shaking battle cries coming from deep within the Clan, "let us hurry and reinforce them. The Clan's forces on the front battlefield cannot match Spirit Hall's numbers. If we arrive too late, it will be dangerous."
That was right. Yu Tianlin was currently speaking to two Grand Elders.
To ensure the Clan gate could be retaken, the remaining two Titled Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had both come here.
"Tianlin," one Grand Elder said in a deep voice, "we will go. You and Tianheng stay here."
Yu Tianlin frowned.
Judging from this, the Grand Elder did not want him to take risks?
Yu Tianlin said directly, "Now is not the time to waste words. Let Big Brother lead five hundred people to stay behind. I will go with the two Grand Elders and five hundred people to reinforce the front."
After saying this, Yu Tianlin did not wait for the Grand Elder to object. He quickly made arrangements and soon pulled five hundred people from the thousand-strong team.
Seeing the group about to depart, Yu Tianheng could not help saying, "Tianlin, you must be careful."
"Don't worry, Big Brother," Yu Tianlin said. "The two Grand Elders are with me, so it is very safe. Instead, Big Brother, you must be careful. Guard the Clan gate well and do not let Spirit Hall break through."
After the two brothers finished giving each other instructions, Yu Tianlin set off with the two Grand Elders and five hundred people.
However, on their way to ambush Spirit Hall's rear, they suddenly encountered a black-clad team.
They were from Spirit Hall.
When Yu Tianlin and his group had retaken the Clan gate earlier, they had caused quite a commotion, so Spirit Hall had dispatched a team to investigate the situation.
This team also numbered around five hundred people. Unexpectedly, they ran straight into Yu Tianlin's group halfway.
With just one glance, both sides saw the killing intent in each other's eyes.
One side had come to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while the other was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan itself. Since they had suddenly run into each other, there was nothing more to say.
They had to fight.
Neither side spoke. The moment they saw each other, they launched their attacks at the same time.
The two Grand Elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan directly released their spirit rings, and the aura of two Titled Douluo crushed down upon the five hundred or so Spirit Hall members.
