"Cool!"
"We won!"
Shen Ce voluntarily admitted defeat on behalf of Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy. The six Shrek reserve team members high-fived each other in celebration. Their slightly immature faces were filled with smiles. It was their first time stepping onto the stage of the Soul Master Competition. If they were not nervous under the spotlight, they would be bluffing. But after the first period of immaturity, they would be much smoother. They were moving towards maturity step by step.
Ling Bai returned the Blazing Tiger and Ice Bear to the Ice and Fire dual control, and the two women nodded and bowed in gratitude. They experienced what it meant to be suppressed by the dual force of martial spirit and soul power.
The ice-controlling beauty's giant frost bear had just been showing its teeth and claws for half a second when Ling Bai slapped it back. The huge ice bear, which was more than three meters tall, turned three circles on the spot like a ballet before falling to the ground. The Fiery Tiger next door was so scared that it instantly turned into a well-behaved kitten and let Ling Bai squeeze it.
Shen Ce stepped forward and shook hands with Ling Bai, and exchanged a few words. The general meaning was that he regretted not being able to fight against the six-winged angel, but it was also a one-on-six situation. He was beaten so badly by the Shrek reserve team, while Ling Bai was chasing six people alone. He felt the gap and would work harder in the future.
The Shrek team made friendly gestures to their opponents and filed off the stage. Just like the opening match of the knockout round, after winning, everyone did not watch the game, but walked straight to the exit passage and returned to the Star King Hotel to rest.
"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!"
"Seraphim! Seraphim! Seraphim!"
The audience cheered as Shrek Academy left, looking forward to Ling Bai leading the team to victory all the way to the top.
The layman watches the excitement while the expert watches the details. Most of the team leaders of the various colleges have gloomy faces because Shrek won this game too easily. The overall situation was decided after Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement, which replaced Ling Bai with Qian Ling. The six-winged angel did not reveal its real trump card.
Angel realm, fifth soul ring, secret skills, soul bones, they didn't see anything they wanted to see, and could only hope that Shrek's next opponent would give them some strength.
At nightfall on the second day after the battle at Qianling Academy, all eleven contestants from Shrek Academy gathered in the conference room. After two days and two nights of rest, the reserve team was fully refreshed. The baptism of the Soul Master Competition had a significant effect, and they seemed to have a fierce aura.
The recovery speed of the three main players is gratifying. Ling Luochen, who has the least internal injury, will be able to participate in the competition in two days. Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng will also be able to return to the game in the fifth game of the round-robin tournament. By then, with two Soul Emperors and two Soul Kings, together with the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Black Nether Turtle, Shrek Academy will have the ability to compete for the championship.
"Teacher Wang, who will be our opponent tomorrow?"
Xu Sanshi asked boldly while sitting on the chair. No wonder he was so relaxed. After all, they only needed to win this game. When Ling Luochen went into battle, Shrek Academy would finally not have to worry about losing the 223 tactics.
The first game is given to Ling Bai and Ning Tian, and the second game is given to Ling Luochen and Huo Yuhao. The six-winged angel + extreme ice and two cups of deadly poison are left for the opponent to choose.
The others looked at Wang Yan inquiringly, but suddenly discovered that the teacher's expression did not seem as relaxed and cheerful as expected, but rather seemed quite heavy.
"Tomorrow's opponent is the Zhengtian Advanced Soul Master Academy."
Hearing this, Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen, who had participated in the previous Soul Master Competition, immediately recalled it. The former blurted out: "Zhengtian Academy, the top eight in the previous competition?"
"Yes."
Wang Yan sighed and said, "The powerful configuration of the Three Soul Kings and the Four Soul Sects, and two of the three soul kings have absorbed ten thousand year soul rings, their combat power is far beyond the reach of Shen Ce of the Thousand Strike Spear and the Thousand Spirit Academy.
It would be best if we could draw an individual battle tomorrow, so that we still have a chance of survival. Team battles are very difficult. If we unfortunately draw 223, we may face the outcome of losing a round-robin tournament.
There are a total of eight groups in the Soul Master Competition, and they are evenly divided into two of the top 16 teams from the previous competition. Therefore, the Zhengtian team is our strongest enemy.
In the round-robin tournament, each group can only qualify with two teams. My opinion is to conserve your strength. Ling Bai doesn't need to go to Xingluo Plaza tomorrow. Stay at Xinghuang Hotel. I will take the reserve team through the process. Our qualification as the second in the group will not affect the overall situation."
In the face of the absolute gap in strength, no matter what kind of game mode it is, Shrek is always at a disadvantage. Needless to say, the three soul kings on the opposite side are responsible for a game alone and Shrek can only stare blankly.
Both team battles and individual battles depend almost entirely on Ling Bai. Wang Yan is worried that Ling Bai will consume too much energy and even get injured. Then Shrek will be completely paralyzed, and it is unknown whether they can qualify for the round-robin tournament.
"Can."
Ling Bai leaned back in his chair and smiled. It was a legitimate reason to slack off, and which worker didn't like that?
Ling Bai came to participate in the competition because he did not want to miss the most grand soul master event in Douluo Continent. He did not care about Shrek's eternal glory. Although he would fulfill his obligations as a regular player and win all the games he played with his strength, he would not refuse to take turns and give up tactics. No one could expect him to fight as hard as those students who had received many years of education at Shrek Academy and bleed on the field.
"Absolutely not!"
A roar suddenly rang out, Beibei slammed the table, and he stood up. His originally elegant temperament was gone.
"Teacher Wang, I know you and Ling Bai are considering the overall situation, but Shrek is the number one academy on the continent and has never lost a single game in ten thousand years. We, the reserve team, cannot accept such an easy surrender!"
Beibei was like a giant dragon that had just awakened. The dragon might of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex was spreading wantonly, exuding an indomitable arrogance. He said resolutely: "The academy has treated us well. We will do our best in both team battles and individual battles. If we draw the 223 mode, and Ling Bai wins one game, our reserve team will fight hard to win another one!"
"Big Brother is right!"
"Support Big Brother!"
"Beibei finally said something human!"
"We will protect Shrek's eternal glory!"
Beibei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong were all excited and asked to challenge Zhengtian Academy.
"Children..."
Wang Yan's eyes were moist, and he was obviously moved to tears.
Ling Bai and Ning Tian were very calm. They had long since let it go and decided not to impose responsibilities that did not belong to them.
"Wait, they are so enthusiastic over there, and it seems that I am the one working overtime..."
Ling Bai reacted and sighed quietly in his heart. Suddenly, he turned his head as if he sensed something and happened to meet Ma Xiaotao's pink eyes. It seemed that her eyes had no emotions at all, but also seemed to be a mixture of thousands of emotions.
"What's up?"
The corners of Ma Xiaotao's rosy lips moved, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, but she shook her head gently and said, "No."
"Brother Bai, she looks a little strange." Ning Tian reminded in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I'll say it when I want to." Ling Bai didn't care about it at all.
Wang Yan wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "Children, if you can return home safely this time, you will definitely become the best generation in the academy in the past thousand years. Let's stop being hypocritical and start arranging tactics."
When it comes to tactics, the theoretical teacher suddenly becomes serious: "Zhengtian Academy is one of the top eight teams. The students sent this time are particularly strong. The captain Ye Wuqing is known as a super genius that Zhengtian rarely sees in a thousand years.
In the last Soul Master Competition, Shrek Academy was also led by Elder Xuan. He once personally evaluated Ye Wuqing, saying that if he could enroll in Shrek, he would definitely break through to Soul Emperor before the age of 20, and his achievements would be no worse than Yao Heng's.
Dai Yueheng added: "I have fought with Ye Wuqing before. We were both at the Soul Sect level at that time. His martial spirit, the Golden Leaf, left a deep impression on me. It was sharp and changeable, and extremely difficult to deal with."
"It's a pity that Zhengtian Academy delayed him, which ultimately resulted in him failing to break through to the Soul Emperor level. In the first round of the round-robin tournament, he led Zhengtian into battle, revealing that his soul power had stagnated at level 58." Wang Yan said.
"The deployment for the individual battle is very simple. Beibei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, and Jiang Nannan, the four of you will consume as many members of Zhengtian as possible, and Ling Bai will finish off the rest."
Wang Yan automatically ignored the three weak second-year players and continued, "The team battle will be the same as last time. The five of you will play with Ning Tian and Huo Yuhao."
"What about me?"
Wang Dong immediately became unhappy. He had already sat on the bench for two games. If he continued to sit on it, his self-esteem would probably explode.
"Don't worry, you will fight in 223." Wang Yan smiled, "Ling Bai is Shrek's trump card, and the 223 tactics will be useless to anyone who encounters him. Zhengtian Academy will definitely find a way to let Ye Wuqing avoid Ling Bai and bully the reserve team.
Ling Baiye and Wuqing each won one game, but in the third game, Zhengtian had the Soul King in charge, and Shrek still lost more than it won.
The key to our victory is that Ling Bai catches Ye Wuqing and kills Zheng Tian's trump card in advance. The combat power of the other two soul kings is far from that of Ye Wuqing. As long as Ye Wuqing is caught, Beibei and Xu Sanshi will appear at the same time to win the game.
Normally, Ling Bai and Ning Tian can exert their strongest combat power, but Ling Bai can easily deal with Zhengtian Academy without the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower, so Wang Dong, you and Ling Bai will go on the field together, and Ning Tian will stay to cooperate with Bei Bei and the others. "
"ah???"
Wang Dong glanced at Ling Bai, and a trace of disgust could not be stopped on his handsome little face, as if the blood of an angel of hatred was flowing in his bones. In his heart, he refused to team up with Ling Bai, but Wang Yan was the class teacher and the team leader, so he was embarrassed to refuse him in public and could only sulk alone.
Ling Bai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Oh my god, just work overtime, how did he get into the same team with Princess Tang after all the twists and turns.
After the plan was made, Wang Yan quickly asked everyone to go back to their rooms to meditate and rest. After the last person left the meeting room, he murmured:
"Children, once you climb over this mountain, you will surely continue the glorious story of Shrek Academy for three hundred years."
…
"The first match of the second round of the round-robin tournament is between Shrek Academy and Zhengtian Academy. Both teams please enter the waiting area and the captains will come on stage to draw the game rules."
The referee stepped onto the competition field, and the sound from the soul-amplifying device spread far away.
All sixty-seven teams were present. They looked at the eight familiar faces of Shrek and were confused for a moment.
Due to the financial strength of each team, it is well known that Shrek Academy has hidden three regular players. Zhengtian Academy is a top eight team, so they should at least send one or two out to share the pressure on Ling Bai. You can't get all the wool from one sheep.
The audience was also confused. Although the six-winged angel was ridiculously strong, the seven reserve team members had poor soul power and did not seem to be a match for Zhengtian Academy. However, Shrek's long-standing power still successfully convinced them to cheer for Shrek.
Opposite Ling Bai, Ye Wuqing stood proudly, his handsome face looked indifferent, but when he looked at Ling Bai, a cold light occasionally flashed in his eyes.
The six-winged angel is famous and powerful. Ordinary soul masters are afraid of it and run away from it, but geniuses are brave enough to climb to the top. Talented people like Shen Ce, Ye Wuqing, Xiao Hongchen, and Ma Rulong are even more eager to challenge Ling Bai.
A minute later, the drawing of lots was completed, and the result that Shrek least wanted to see was the 223 tactics!
"What a pity..." Ye Wuqing said regretfully, "If it weren't for Zhengtian, I would like to challenge the god-level martial spirit Seraphim and have a one-on-one battle with you. I hope we can fight in the third round of the promotion match."
Zhengtian Academy had arranged the 223 tactics in advance. The core idea was that Ye Wuqing should avoid Ling Bai, and the probability of the two meeting each other was only one in three.
"good."
Ling Bai nodded slightly, walked down the stage and informed everyone of the result of the draw. Wang Yan licked his lips, guessing which round Zhengtian Academy would send Ye Wuqing on stage.
I guess you play rock and then I play paper. I guess you guessed I would play rock so I changed my mind and played scissors. This is a contest between logic and anti-logic, an infinite loop.
"Ling Bai, you and Wang Dong will go on the first field."
Wang Yan made the final decision. Ye Wuqing could play in any game, and whether Ling Bai could catch Ye Wuqing in the first game or not, it would set the tone for victory for the subsequent reserve team.
"Well, Wang Dong is gone."
Ling Bai had no objection and called Wang Dong, who was secretly cheering with his fists clenched, to go on stage.
A boy and a girl came on the field from Zhengtian Academy. The girl had a pretty face and shining golden hair, while the boy looked ordinary and had no special features.
"It's over, we didn't catch him!"
Wang Dong exclaimed, the plan to capture Ye Wuqing failed. The Shrek people below the stage shook their heads in disappointment, and their morale dropped slightly.
"The game begins!"
With a loud roar from the referee, the battle between Shrek Academy and Zhengtian Advanced Soul Master Academy officially began.
On Zhengtian's side, the boy's martial soul was a dagger, with a soul power of about level 42. It instantly turned into a black phantom and rushed towards Ling Bai and Wang Dong.
"Leave this to me."
Wang Dong said this and released the Light Goddess Butterfly. His first soul skill, Wing Cutter, made the edge of the butterfly's wings extremely sharp. It flew at a low altitude to meet the black phantom.
The martial spirit of the blonde girl was much more gorgeous than the dagger. A pair of pure white wings with a strong golden light broke out from her back, and five soul rings with the best ratio, two yellow, two purple and one black, appeared immediately afterwards.
Angel!
The audience was boiling with excitement. A six-winged angel and an angel. Two angel spirits appeared on the stage at the same time!
The blonde girl looked at Ling Bai with her eyes level. Ling Bai stood still, his pair of brilliant golden wings spread out with a bang, revealing a sacred aura that made people worship him.
After a moment, the girl's feet left the ground. Her flying movements were very slow, and she carefully took out something that looked like a pen from the storage soul guide.
Just when everyone thought this was some kind of terrifying soul guide, the girl landed in front of Ling Bai and folded her angel wings, her face full of anticipation and her eyes full of stars:
"Hello, idol. My name is Yu Mengdi, a descendant of the Angel Legion of the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago. Can you give me an autograph?"
