Chapter 37: Tragedy
"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek! ”
Huo Yuhao and the seven of them walked off the stage amid the audience's unemotional shouts, and left Xingluo Square with Kong Jiran and Wang Yan in the rest area, and walked towards the Xinghuang Hotel.
Not to the point of duty, they won the game and it didn't cost them a lot.
Indeed, as Wang Yan said yesterday, the strength of the Thousand Souls Academy is very strong on paper, and the combination of the Six Souls Sect and the One Soul King is definitely above Shrek, but compared to the other participating teams, their characteristics are also very distinct.
Four shields in one solid gold soup, ice and fire dual control of a thousand spears.
These fourteen words perfectly summarize the tactical characteristics of the Thousand Souls Academy. Four defensive soul sects with a spirit rhino shield martial soul, with two control soul sects with one ice and one fire, and finally an offensive soul king with a thousand spear martial souls.
The tactics of the Thousand Souls Academy are that the four Spirit Rhino Shield Soul Masters form a shield wall to prevent the opposing team from breaking through, and the dual control of ice and fire soul skills can improve the defense and attack capabilities of the "Spirit Rhino Shield" and the "Thousand Strikes Spear" by a notch respectively.
This tactic looks good, but the offensive pressure is all focused on the Thousand Strikes Spear Soul King alone, and if something goes wrong with him, the Thousand Spirits team will be dumbfounded.
Today was also Shrek's luck, and he drew the most conducive team battle for the implementation of the plan.
At the beginning of the game, Qianling's side arranged tactics as before, and Shrek did not attack after maintaining a relatively close distance, anyway, with Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection sharing, it was clear what the Qianling team was doing.
At the moment before the Thousand Soul King was about to throw the Thousand Strike Spear, Xu Sanshi's fourth soul technique "Xuan Ming Replacement" was activated, and the Soul King's eldest brother appeared in Shrek's encirclement, and Xu Sanshi instantly ran behind the four spirit rhino shields.
Good guy, Brother Soul King asked Bei Bei to beat them, the originally handsome little face can't see the human form.
Xu Sanshi's goods are much better, the six people on the other side are not strong in their ability to take the initiative to attack, and the "Xuan Ming Turtle" is a top-level defensive martial spirit. Therefore, Xu Sanshi, who was rough and thick-skinned, resisted Beibei's rescue stubbornly, and Shrek naturally won the first round of the round-robin tournament.
Although the game was won, Shrek also exposed a lot of things.
First of all, Huo Yuhao's cultivation was revealed, and although the elder brother of the Soul King on the opposite side was very panicked when he appeared in Shrek's encirclement, he still projected his thousand-shot spear, and the target was Huo Yuhao.
Although under Huo Yuhao's "mental interference", the Thousand Strikes Spear did not hit him, but the sharpness of the Thousand Strikes Spear broke the "simulation" of the Spirit Eyes, and the two soul rings, one white and one yellow, were exposed in front of everyone, and the real cultivation also caused an uproar at the scene.
Especially the leading teachers and participating students of the major academies, one by one, hated the root of their teeth, they really didn't expect that the first academy in the dignified mainland would also play the trick of pretending to be a ghost. The most angry among these people is Xiao Hongchen, he is ready to compete with Huo Yuhao, but he didn't expect it to be a parallel import.
Secondly, Shrek Academy's external strength and middle cadres have also been exposed. There were only eleven students in total, and seven of them were at the level of the reserve team under the Soul King. No one present is a fool, everyone can guess that something should have gone wrong with Shrek's main selection team members, and even now in addition to a suspected positive selection of Kong Jiran, the other three have appeared at all, and there is a lot of article here......
"Great!"
Everyone returned to the room and couldn't help but cheer. The reserve team felt that they finally didn't have to bear so much pressure, and at least there was an empty Ji Ran standing in front in the future.
There is a good saying: when the sky falls, there is still a high top. Sora Jiran is a thigh in their eyes.
Wang Yan is a teacher after all, and his mood cooled down relatively quickly, "Don't make trouble, everyone, this hard-won victory is important, but don't be happy too early, this is just the beginning." ”
The great hero Xu Sanshi smiled, "Teacher Wang Yan, you don't know how much pressure we have been under recently, especially Beibei, who has been losing her eyebrows one by one these nights." ”
Bei Bei just wanted to nod, but suddenly reacted and glared at Xu Sanshi, "I also dropped my eyebrows one by one, you can think of it, can my eyebrows support until the second half of the night?" ”
The crowd laughed when they heard this, they really should relax.
Kong Jiran also smiled and said, "You guys did a good job, it's up to me in the next game." ”
"Sister Ji Ran is domineering!" The No. 1 junior brother Xu Sanshi came to hug his thighs again.
Although Wang Yan was also very happy, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, could things really go as smoothly as expected?
………
The next day, Xingluo Square.
Looking at the results of the lottery representing the two-two-three battle method in Wang Yan's hand, Kong Jiran was suddenly a little speechless.
What's going on? "Fate" this old boy is aimed at me, I just came out to play a game in the whole toughest format, play?
Everyone's expressions were solemn, and today's opponent was the Zhengtian Academy of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Zhengtian Academy is a powerful team led by three soul kings, if it is a team battle or a personal battle, Shrek may be able to control the battle situation with the strong personal strength of Kong Jiran.
No one thought that it would be so "weak" to draw two, two, three, this kind of tactics where everyone can only play once. This leads to the fact that no matter how strong Sora Jiran is, he can only guarantee one victory, two wins in three games, and the rest depends on the people in the reserves.
"My first game?" Sora Jiran tentatively put forward his own suggestion.
Wang Yan pondered for a long time and shook his head, "I don't think so, judging from the past history, Zhengtian Academy is a team that seeks stability, and they shouldn't send too strong players in the first game, but one of the three soul kings must be present." Ji Ran You should stay behind, Xu Sanshi, you and Jiang Nannan should go up. ”
Wang Yan finally chose Xu Sanshi, who had hidden strength, and Jiang Nannan, who had strong melee ability, as the vanguard.
"Teacher Wang is wise!"
"I don't want it!"
Diametrically opposite answers spit out from the mouths of the two, which made Wang Yan also stunned, as if he didn't expect this to be the case.
The people around him had already expected that it was no secret that Xu Sanshi liked Jiang Nannan, but Jiang Nannan always did not give any truth to Xu Sanshi.
This also makes Kong Jiran very puzzling, although Xu Sanshi is a bit second, but whether it is character or talent, it is considered the top level of the outer court, no matter how high Jiang Nannan's vision is, it is difficult to find someone who is much stronger than Xu Sanshi, let alone someone like Xu Sanshi who has always loved her.
Bei Bei, who was the temporary captain, opened his mouth and looked at Jiang Nannan with deep eyes, "Nan Nan, I don't know what you have to do with Sanshi, but now that you are on the playing field, I hope you can put aside all personal grudges at this moment."
You have to go up with him, and the two of you work best with each other. Even if it's after this game, you can let me beat him up for you. However, now, as the captain, I ask you, and I also order you, to play the first game with Miishi. Okay, or no? ”
"Nan Nan, believe me, I will definitely be able to protect you and not let you be hurt at all." Xu Sanshi also said pitifully on the side.
Jiang Nannan bit her lip, as if there was a struggle between heaven and man in her mind, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll go." ”
Kong Jiran thought that Bei Bei was really angry this time, but he didn't expect Xu Sanshi to give Bei Bei a thumbs up behind his back when he walked to the arena with Jiang Nannan.
Okay, these two are still familiar double reeds. Poor Jiang Nannan is still in the trap.
As if sensing Kong Jiran's strange eyes, Bei Bei hurriedly explained: "It is true that Xu Sanshi and I have hidden strength, but there is still a difference between the two of us.
My hidden power is a little weaker than his, but I can control it myself. And Xu Sanshi only stimulates his strength when he is strongly stimulated, so no one is more suitable to fight than Nan Nan. ”
Anyway, the two finally stood on the competition venue together, and the opponent was not surprisingly a stable lineup of a soul king and a soul sect.
The martial soul of that soul king is an angel, one of the top martial souls of the light department, and the martial soul of the soul sect looks relatively ordinary, a slightly longer dagger. The two sides released their martial spirits to start a big battle, and at the beginning, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan could still fight evenly with each other.
But later, the Angel Soul King relied on his flying ability to cross Xu Sanshi's Xuanming tortoiseshell shield and stabbed Jiang Nannan with the holy sword in his hand, although the injury was not serious, it angered Xu Sanshi.
The tortoiseshell shield slammed into the ground. A powerful black halo instantly spread out from the shield, covering an area of more than ten square meters, like a huge air shield pushing outward. In the process of emanation, a rumbling roar is also released. A dark green snake with bright red eyes appeared on the shield, and a mysterious and mysterious aura permeated.
Xuanwu?
Kong Jiran smelled a familiar smell, it seems that there was such a little guy in the primeval era, his strength was not strong, but he was very stubborn and persistent, but unfortunately he also died in the battle of the sky.
Now Xu Sanshi only has a trace of "Xuanwu" ability, but it is enough for him to deal with the Angel Soul King and the Dagger Soul Sect, after paying a huge price, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan won this two-on-two victory.
Xu Sanshi was carried off the stage by Jiang Nannan, and he had already fainted after the martial soul origin was injured, and he could not go to the arena for at least five days. Wang Yan also asked Jiang Nannan to send Xu Sanshi back to the hotel to recuperate.
"Who's going to play with me in the second game?" Sora asked, feeling it was time to end the match.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yan said: "Ji Ran, I think you should stay in the third game, in the second game, I estimate that Zhengtian may send two soul kings, and the worst will also make their strongest captain Ye ruthless to fight, after all, they can't afford to lose." This time, let's let He Caitou and Xiao Xiao go up, and you and Bei Bei will stay in the third game, which will be safer. ”
Kong Jiran really wants to say that there is really no need to be so troublesome, let me come, I must be fine with this group of rookies. But she didn't speak in the end, Wang Yan is also thinking about the overall situation, his method is indeed the most stable, at least Shrek definitely does not lose, but can he and Caitou and Xiao Xiao be so willing to play a role similar to "cannon fodder"?
Something unexpected happened, the always stable Zhengtian team not only did not send two soul kings in the second game, but even the captain Ye Wuru did not go on, but sent the soul king of the longbow martial soul, Wang Yan was reversed.
He Caitou and Xiao Xiao actually showed an amazing desire to win when facing the combination of the Soul King and the Soul Sect. Xiao Xiao used the Sansheng Town Soul Ding to shatter and be seriously injured in a coma at the cost of winning the opportunity to use the sixth-level soul guide "Super Gathering Soul Guide Cannon" for He Caitou. He Caitou also lived up to Xiao Xiao's high expectations, and the powerful firepower overwhelmed the other party's Soul King, but it was a pity that his Soul Sect's cultivation was still a little worse.
The Soul Sect on the opposite side also happened to be better at defense, and after the Longbow Soul King consumed a wave of soul guide cannons, he actually carried it to the end of the soul power of Hecaitou and won the victory.
He Caitou ended up in tears, and he said that Xiao Xiao told him that Shrek's pride did not allow her to admit defeat or use herself as cannon fodder, so Xiao Xiao did everything for victory. He never wanted to see Xiao Xiao get hurt again.
Wang Yan, Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong all had red eyes, and this round-robin match really fought Shrek to the point of running out of ammunition.
"Kong Jiran, Beibei, Huo Yuhao, the honor of the academy depends on yours."
In the end, Wang Yan did not choose Wang Dong, who had higher soul power, but chose Huo Yuhao, who had the team battle divine skill "Spirit Detection Sharing". Because in the face of the combination of the Soul King and the Soul Sect, the gap between the Soul Venerable and the Great Soul Master is really not big, and Huo Yuhao's ability is more suitable for team battles.
Kong Jiran took Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao to the competition venue, and opposite them were the two soul sects that did not deserve to have names, Ye Wulu, the strong attack soul king with the Golden Leaf Martial Soul, the Dementor Bell Martial Soul and the Fireball Martial Soul. Ye Wuru's strength was extremely strong, and his soul power was already as high as level fifty-nine, which was not inferior to Kong Ji Ran.
"Game on!"
Ye Wuru, who didn't have a trace of expression on his face, didn't release the martial spirit, but said: "I don't know why Shrek sent you to the competition, but you have won respect with your strength, so even if you lose, you won't be embarrassed by Shrek Academy."
Kong Jiran, Huo Yuhao next to you has already exposed his cultivation of only two rings. What about you, Soul Venerable? Soul Sect? Or the Soul King? I advise you to throw in the towel sooner rather than later, or you can make a bet with me. ”
"Tell me about it." Sora Jiran was a little curious about what the hell was betting.
"You lose, you quit Shrek to come to our Zhengtian Academy and become my partner, we lose, I Ye ruthlessly dispose of it."
There was a amplified soul guide on the battle platform, and Ye Wuru's words were listened to by everyone on the scene. Xiao Hongchen in the rest area of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy jumped up from his chair angrily, "What did he say!" Does this guy want to die! ”
Wang Dong in the Shrek rest area directly covered his eyes, "It's over, Ye Wuru is helpless." ”
Wang Yan was also so angry that his face turned pale, this was not only teasing Kong Jiran, but also insulting Shrek. However, when he heard Wang Dong's words, he couldn't help but ask: "How do you say this?" ”
Wang Dong sighed, "Listen to Sister Xiao Tao, the last one who dared to tease Sister Ji Ran, he ended up being tortured to the point that his martial soul was almost broken." ”
On the stage, the smile on Kong Jiran's face slowly disappeared, and he said word by word: "You, find, die?" ”
