Chapter 1377: The Phenomenon

……

Chen Xiaojun was not without some annoyance in his heart, but he had calmed down. As the young master of a large family, he could only helplessly do so in many cases.

Judge right from wrong based on your stance.

When dealing with outsiders, one can still be more considerate depending on the circumstances, but when facing the forces under one's own command, it is much more difficult to handle.

The Chen family has just taken over the Yang family and is now in the honeymoon period of the integration of the two families.

The inclusion of the Yang family is of great significance not only to the further expansion of the Jinyiwei strategy, but also to the coverage of the Chen family's influence in the entire Fasno territory.

The Yang family also behaved quite decisively this time. They rushed to admit their mistakes, took the initiative to accept the punishment, and actively tried to find ways to treat Xiaoyi. Their attitude was very positive.

Under such circumstances, a light punishment would not have much practical significance for Yang Yanlang, the heir of the Yang family, but if a heavy punishment was to be imposed, there would be many difficulties.

Since Xiaoyi has recovered and is fine, Chen Xiaojun doesn't want to dwell on the matter anymore and can only choose to let it go.

……

Looking at the results of previous provincial competitions, due to the adoption of a single round-robin system, the randomness of the competition has been greatly reduced, and the participating colleges can be roughly divided into four levels.

The first tier is undoubtedly occupied by the three major academies.

With their profound heritage, excellent faculty and top students, they stand out from the crowd and have extraordinary strength. They are always strong contenders for the championship in provincial competitions and are firmly at the top.

The second tier covers 4th to 7th place, 4 colleges.

This group has been roughly composed of four academies in the past few decades: Qinglin, Tianlang, Xuanhuang, and Tianfeng. However, occasionally other academies would emerge and join the group.

These colleges are quite strong and are a force that cannot be ignored in the provincial competition.

The third tier, including 8th to 14th place, has a total of 7 colleges.

From the perspective of geographical distribution, the north, central and southern regions can generally retain two colleges, and the overall distribution is relatively balanced.

These colleges are at a mid-level in the provincial competition. They have their own characteristics and advantages, and occasionally burst out with amazing energy, causing some trouble for the top-ranked colleges.

The fourth tier is from 15th to 21st place, and also has 7 colleges.

In this category, there are relatively more colleges in the central and northern regions, after all, the base number of colleges in the central and northern regions is larger.

In response to this situation, there is a saying circulating in the education circle of Fastno, called the "37 phenomenon".

This statement contains several meanings: first, "thirty-sevens twenty-one", the "thirty-sevens" here directly corresponds to the total number of 21 participating colleges; second, the strength distribution of each college is roughly intervals of seven, and can be divided into three levels.

It is worth mentioning that there are actually seven colleges in the first tier, but the three major colleges are separated out and become the top tier, which is also one of the meanings of "three" in "three seven".

Now let's talk about the situation in the north.

In the last provincial competition, the distribution of colleges in the last tier (15th - 21st) was three each in the central and northern regions, while there was only one in the north.

From this data, we can see that although the North has the smallest population, only more than 20 million, the strength of the colleges should not be underestimated and is relatively strong.

The weakest among them is Yueyang College, located in the southernmost part.

Interestingly, in terms of geographical distribution, except for Yueyang College, the other five colleges are basically in the same dimension, like a straight line, namely Xuanhuang, Huishi, Yuesi, Solon, and Qinglin.

Moreover, they are all located relatively close to the Tianling Mountains where battles are frequent, which may be a reflection of the iron-blooded style of the north.

They have been living in an environment where wars are frequent for a long time, and it is this environment that has forged the Northern College's tenacious and courageous fighting spirit.

Thus, out of the four colleges in the second tier, the North occupied two seats.

The other two were taken by Southern College, and the North and South divided up the second-tier "cake" in this way.

The iron-blooded north and the difficult south are vividly demonstrated here.

To the north, there are the Tianling Mountains, while to the south, there are the much more powerful Shero Mountains.

In the past, when facing the threat of the Shero Mountains, the Southern Academy could only resist with all its might, and gradually developed a difficult fighting style and embarked on the path of control flow.

The strength of the central colleges is somewhat uneven.

Changyu, Ruian and Marseille colleges are at a mid-level, but Lyon, Nice and Chao Sheng, the three water-related colleges, are much worse and often play the role of runners-up in provincial competitions.

There are many rivers in the central region, and four of the five water colleges are located here.

The Water Academy itself is not weak, but that is in the water.

Water-based soul skills are not good at attacking, and are even more vulnerable in ring competitions.

Among them, Chang Yu, ranked eighth, is considered the strongest.

The three parts of North, Central and South are jokingly called: Copper head, iron tail and tofu waist!

Well, it's not a tofu waist, more like a snake waist.

In addition, among the third and fourth tier colleges, the strength stratification is not an insurmountable gap.

As long as the college can produce a talented student, it is possible to significantly improve its ranking.

This time's dark horse college - Ping An College is the best example.

The Zhu brothers and sisters, both of whom were powerful soul kings, directly raised the ranking of Ping An College, making the previously unknown Ping An College famous in the provincial competition. …………

Today's provincial competition was full of ups and downs and excitement.

The Blood Spear Formation of Qinglin College shined brightly in the competition, bursting out with extremely strong combat power, directly bringing Qinglin College to the top level.

Such a strong performance shocked the equally powerful Canghui and Yuesi academies, and they were secretly afraid in their hearts.

If Qinglin College had used the killing move of Blood Spear Formation when facing Canghui and Yuesi Colleges, they would probably be in danger.

Fortunately, Qinglin College was defeated by the dominant Chang'an College.

Especially Canghui College, they will play against Qinglin College in the tenth round the day after tomorrow. At this moment, the Qinglin team members were exhausted and breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to this focus battle, there are two other strong dialogues that are attracting much attention.

One game is between Canghui College and Tianfeng College.

The five-person combination skill "Fiery Sun Divine Light" performed by Canghui Academy was incredibly powerful. The Fiery Sun body hung in the air, which not only blocked the air area, causing the flying soul master that Tianfeng Academy was proud of to fall, but also directly dried up the "Mud and Rock Frenzy" of Tianfeng Academy, and finally they could only suffer defeat.

The other match is between Tianlang Academy and Xuanhuang Academy.

This match can be described as a duel of "attack spear vs defense shield". Sirius College adopted wolf pack tactics and launched a violent attack with wolf howls one after another, while Xuanhuang College relied on the "earth tremor" of bell-type defense to counterattack, and the sound of bells echoed in the arena.

The soul power of both sides was surging, and the soul power resonance of Wolf Howl and Bell Ringing was extremely strong, even causing the shield of the stadium to rupture. The scene was very intense at one point.

In the end, Xuanhuang Academy won, verifying Zhong Feng's words and avenging the previous session.

This made Wei Xinzhi's face very dark.

In addition, Heian College also defeated Marseille College.

Although they lost to Yuesi College in the last game, it did not affect their reputation at all.

In this game, Zhu Mobai did not play due to injury, but under the leadership of Zhu Luoxi, Ping An College won the victory through the calculation and simulation of tactics and toughness.

Speaking of which, the rise of Ping An College is directly related to the Chen family.

The various chambers of commerce, led by the Zhu family of Wanbao Pavilion, obtained a large number of precious medicinal materials in the Chen family's medicinal materials market.

These precious resources greatly improved the soul power level of the students at Ping An College, and the Zhu brothers and sisters even broke through to the Soul King realm.

……

After Chen Xiaojun returned, he thought and weighed the pros and cons again and again, and finally decided to replace Mejibo with Ma Wencai.

As a result, the Chang'an College lineup is confirmed to be Chen Mu, Su Ningxia, Dugu Fu, Gao Cuilan, Wang Baoqiang, Neil Seven and Ma Wencai.

In this game, Chang'an College used a unique tactic - the TT tactic, also known as the soul skill chain conduction tactic.

This is the soul master version of Blue Star Football's Tiki-Taka tactics, which draws on the concept of football's passing and control system and aims to form a chain attack of soul skills.

Using this tactic requires that the skills of controlling the game cannot be interrupted at all.

Chang'an College has always been famous for its fast breaks and control. The players have their own experience in grasping the timing of control skills, using computing power, observing eyes, and teamwork.

Especially after collecting and studying the martial spirit restraint chain in the Great Fighting Spirit Arena, as well as on-site explanations of high-intensity competitions, the team members' thinking and predictive abilities have been greatly improved.

At the beginning of the game, Gao Cuilan took the lead in using [Rainbow Bewitching Heart] to control the situation, and then Ma Wencai used [Thousand Feathers Weaving Dreams] to carry out mental interference.

In this match, he even used [Thousand Feathers Dream Weaving] and [Splendid Feathers] alternately, constantly casting illusions to disrupt his opponent's mind.

Wang Baoqiang and Neil Seven are responsible for the combined use of earthquake and quicksand skills, as well as front-end defense work.

Dugu Fu used poison control and even used his fourth soul skill [Ice-Blue Cold Poison Array] to make his opponent fall into the pain of ice and poison.

Su Ningxia was responsible for suppressing the opponent's counterattack. She used [Green Cloud Gorgeous Silk] to constantly pull the opponent, making it difficult for the opponent to organize an effective attack.

She even pulled people in. The first member of the opposing team who left the field was unexpectedly pulled into the formation by Su Ningxia, who injured and knocked him unconscious.

During this period, the responsibility of connecting skills fell on Gao Cuilan. She controlled the confinement skills one after another and firmly restricted the opponent within a certain range.

Chen Mu waited for the opportunity and struck, delivering a fatal blow to his opponent.

The purpose of control is to kill.

In this way, Chang'an College used the tactical thinking of [control] + [point kill] to gradually wear down the combat effectiveness of Xingyun College.

However, this game was also the longest game played by Chang'an College, lasting a full ten minutes.

This year's Chang'an College is famous for its fast pace and unpredictable changes. Most of the previous matches ended in five or six minutes.

After the start of this competition, in addition to its individual strength, Chang'an College also had a huge impact on other colleges at the tactical level.

Their tactics are like a sow putting a bra on itself - they throw out one set after another, and other teams have no idea how to defend against their tactics before the game.

It can be said that it has set off a brainstorming session and tactical changes.

Of course, many teams were also greatly inspired by Chang'an College and absorbed a lot of experience, making it much more difficult for Chang'an College to deal with them.
