Chapter 193 New opponent, Douling Royal Academy!
After the incident with the evil soul master, Ling Luochen would often seek information about soul guides from He Caitou and Huo Yuhao.
She now understands that if all of them, the regular team members, were equipped with appropriate soul guides, the outcome would be completely different.
Just as He Caitou said, the invincible shield alone is enough to change the course of a battle.
In other words, if the soul kings of the Douling Royal Academy were equipped with invincible shields, even if her soul master was stronger than the opponent, she would not necessarily be able to defeat the opponent.
In the current Shrek team, after Ma Xiaotao was disabled, she is the only Soul King besides Huo Yuhao. The situation is very unfavorable.
Ling Luochen asked in confusion: "Teacher Wang, we qualified as the first in the group in the round-robin tournament. Judging from the strength of the Douling Royal Academy, it should also be the first in the group. How come we got drawn against them?"
"When the first place in a group is drawn for the round of 16, won't it be that the second place in another group will only be drawn?"
Wang Yan said: "Based on their strength, Douling Royal Academy should have qualified as the first in the group, but in fact, this is not the case."
"There was a dark horse in their group, and it had been undefeated before they met them."
"For some reason, the Douling Royal Academy gave up the match against the dark horse academy in the last game, so they qualified as the second place. We didn't expect to run into us."
"Give up voluntarily?"
Beibei frowned slightly and said, "Is there something fishy going on here? Douling Royal Academy is also an old school. They must know the importance of being first in the group. What on earth could have made them give up being first in the group? Is it just to conserve their energy?"
Wang Yan said: "I have also thought about this problem. The difference between the first and second place in the group is only in the round of 16. After this game, it will be meaningless."
"The Douling Royal Academy must have something to rely on for this, and it must be hidden very deeply. We can only wait until the competition to see."
"Okay, let me first tell you about the rules of the promotion stage."
"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has been developing for tens of thousands of years, and the rules of the competition have been constantly changing."
"Especially the final qualifying round, in order to make the competition more exciting and to better demonstrate the overall strength of the participating colleges, the competition format will be different from the previous ones."
"The promotion matches will no longer be decided by drawing lots like the round-robin matches. Each promotion match will be held over two days, with separate team battles and individual promotion matches."
"Winning a team battle doesn't necessarily mean we'll qualify. In the individual promotion match on the second day, if we can defeat all seven of the other team with three or fewer players, then we can turn defeat into victory."
"And the team that wins the team battle only needs to use the strength of seven people to defeat the three opponents to ensure their qualification."
"This competition system not only reflects the importance of the overall strength of the team, but also gives opportunities to teams with strong individual strength."
“Therefore, the qualifying round is not only a test for the whole team, but also the best stage to show individual strength.”
At this point, Wang Yan paused for a moment before continuing, "Academies with real strength will focus on training top students in order to turn the tide in the individual competition at the promotion stage."
"For example, we have someone like Yuhao in our team whose personal strength is the best among all others."
"If we lose the team battle, but Yuhao shines in the individual competition and eliminates all seven opponents by himself, then we can still win this promotion match."
"Like Shen Ce and Ye Wuqing we met before, they were actually trained based on this concept."
Hearing this, everyone's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
As companions, they absolutely believed that Huo Yuhao was invincible in a one-on-one individual match. In other words, even if they really lost the team battle, with Huo Yuhao there, the final victory of this game would still belong to them.
Beibei thought for a moment and asked again: "Teacher Wang, what if I get injured or exhausted too much in the team battle and can't participate in the individual competition?"
Wang Yan said: "That depends on the depth of the bench. Every college that comes to participate in the competition brings a reserve team, just like you."
"Once the starting players encounter the situation you described, the reserve team will have to take over."
At this point, Wang Yan turned to look at Beibei and Xu Sanshi, and said in a deep voice: "Beibei, Xu Sanshi, I don't know what else you two are hiding."
"But now we are missing Xiao Tao, a Soul Emperor-level fighter. In the promotion round, you may have to use all these hidden things. Do you have confidence?"
Beibei and Xu Sanshi looked at each other and nodded solemnly: "No problem!"
According to their original idea, their hidden strength was mainly left as a surprise for the next competition.
But now we have Huo Yuhao. If we give Huo Yuhao another five years to grow, by the next class, I’m afraid Huo Yuhao himself will become a shocker!
Their surprise seemed less important, and it didn't matter if it was exposed in advance.
Moreover, after Ma Xiaotao's incident, the pressure on their reserve team suddenly increased again.
Even if they wanted to hide, it might not be that easy.
Wang Yan nodded slightly, the pressure in his heart slightly relieved, and said: "Very good, next I will tell you about the players who will play in tomorrow's game."
"We can't be careless when we enter the promotion match. Our opponent tomorrow is the semi-finalist of last year, so we must go all out."
“Huo Yuhao, Ling Luochen, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Qiu’er, Ning Tian, and Cai Tou, the seven of you will go out and participate in the team battle. Cai Tou, you will make some cigars and distribute them to everyone later so that they can be used during the competition.”
"Yes." He Caitou agreed.
Xiao Xiao pouted and said, "Oh, I'm just here for fun."
Wang Dong was also a little depressed: "Me too, there is nothing for me to do now. Later on, when we meet stronger opponents, there will be even less for us to do."
Wang Yan smiled slightly: "You two little guys both have twin martial spirits. Practice hard. When your levels are raised, the next session will be your stage to shine. Wouldn't it be better to hide some more cards?"
Huo Yuhao blinked and looked at Xiaoxiao's pouting mouth, feeling a little funny.
His eyes rolled and he suddenly said, "Xiao Xiao, call me Brother Hao and I will take you flying."
Xiao Xiao looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise as he had a teasing look on his face. Although she often called him Brother Hao, that was always when they were together in private.
Now that so many people are watching, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing?
But for some reason, Xiao Xiao hesitated for a while, and finally uttered two clear syllables with a red face: "Brother Hao!"
