Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

After successfully convincing Tang San not to play, Grandmaster returned to the lounge of Shrek Academy. Seeing everyone staring at him, he said in a deep voice, "For today's match, I'll give you two choices. The first is to give up the match and preserve your strength. The second is to form a team and fight on your own, but the chance of winning is probably less than 1%."

"Tang San had some problems with his training and cannot participate. It will be enough for us to be in the top five in points in the preliminaries. After all, our goal is the finals, not the preliminaries."

Somehow, the master had a premonition that Shrek Academy would suffer a defeat in the battle today, which was completely different from what he had imagined at the time.

After all, who could have thought that Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, would drop out of Shrek at the most critical moment and join other academies. This was something the master had never expected.

Now, there are only two options for Shrek Academy: either keep winning or temporarily avoid the spotlight to preserve its strength and get into the top five in the preliminaries.

From the start of the competition to now, Shrek Academy has only lost to Seven Star Academy and Canghui Academy. The master also knows why it lost to Canghui Academy, but despite this, he still regards Seven Star Academy and Wuhun Hall Academy as the core. As for other academies, they are just a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp.

Besides, if Shrek Academy loses to other academies again, wouldn’t that be a disguised proof that his theory is invalid?
"Xiaogang, if we admit defeat in this match, then what about my advertisement?" Flanders screamed.

"Boss F, I think you are obsessed with money now, right?" Liu Erlong glared at Flanders unhappily and said, "You should take a long-term view now. If the little monsters get seriously injured in the next game, it will be more difficult to deal with them in the future."

"You can't cause the little monsters to lose the game just because of your own selfish desires, right?"

After hearing what Liu Erlong said, Flanders immediately lost his temper and said with a wry smile: "Well, since Sister Erlong has said so, how can I, as the dean, only think about myself?"

"Mu Bai, since Tang San won't participate, then you guys decide."

As soon as he finished speaking, Flanders left the lounge with a dejected look on his face. Seeing this, Ma Hongjun hurriedly followed him, fearing that his dean would be upset.

After a while, after a brief discussion among everyone, Shrek Academy announced that it had given up the next game. In order to preserve its strength as the master said, in the next games, it would retreat when facing a strong opponent and attack when facing a weak opponent.

…………

A week later, the preliminaries were in full swing, and soon, the twenty-seventh round of preliminaries came to an end.

Currently, the first place in the qualifying standings is Qixing Academy, followed by Shenfeng Academy, and then Tianshui Academy, Chihuo Academy, Shrek Academy, Lei Ting Academy, and Xiangjia Academy.

Because Shrek Academy withdrew from the competition, they were in an extremely embarrassing situation, that is, 21 wins out of 24 games, while Thunder Academy and Elephant Armor Academy behind them were catching up closely.

The top five teams in the Tiandou Division qualifying round will enter the promotion round. Although there are still three rounds of matches to go, the qualifying teams have actually been determined.

They are Seven Stars College, Kamikaze College, Tianshui College, and Blazing Fire College.

As for Shrek Academy, among their next three opponents, the stronger one is Thunder Academy.

The next opponents of Thunder Academy are Seven Star Academy, Shrek Academy, and an unknown academy. They are guaranteed to get one point at least, and if they beat Shrek Academy, that will be two points.

In other words, Shrek now has 21 points, and the minimum is 23 points after winning two games. Thunder Academy's points are now 20. Even if they win, Shrek Academy's points will only be 22, and they cannot enter the promotion game. However, nothing is absolute. If Seven Star Academy loses to Thunder Academy, then Thunder Academy will directly gain two points, and the points will reach points, catching up with Shrek Academy.

As a result, the qualifying spots became unclear. After all, no one knew whether Thunder Academy would win or Shrek Academy would win.

Shrek rest area.

Looking at the list in his hand, the master said to the Shrek people with a serious face: "The list of the final three rounds of competition has been released. It seems that our Shrek Academy can qualify, but if the Seven Star Academy plays tricks, we may have to compete with Thunder Academy for the final qualifying spot."

Hearing this, Flanders also frowned and said, "Xiaogang, according to what you said, our final promotion will depend on others' wishes? I just looked at the ranking of the preliminaries, and the Seven Star Academy and three of the Four Element Academy are already a foregone conclusion."

"In the last three games, theoretically speaking, even if Thunder Academy wins we can only get two points. They are 22 and we are 23, so there is no way we can advance."

"But have you ever thought about this? If Seven Star Academy doesn't want us to advance, and they just let us lose to Thunder Academy, letting them get the same points as us, then we will have to enter the extra round next."

"If we play an extra game, it's not certain who will win or lose in the end."

"That's what you said." Flanders glanced at Tang San and said, "Then the next game will depend on Xiao San's performance."

"Well, that's what I planned too." The master stroked his chin, his eyes fell on Tang San, and said earnestly: "Xiao San, if the Seven Star Academy is really as we guessed, then the final extra game will depend on you."

"As long as we can successfully defeat Thunder Academy, we can get a spot in the promotion match. Otherwise, we will have to play a tiebreaker with Thunder Academy."

"If we have to play an extra game, it will be extremely disadvantageous to our Shrek Academy. After all, the match between Thunder Academy and Seven Star Academy is on the last day. If Seven Star Academy gives up, we will be completely in a passive situation."

"Teacher, don't worry, leave the next game to me." Tang San nodded, full of confidence.

From the beginning of the competition to now, the strength of each major academy has basically been demonstrated. In Tang San's heart, except for Cheng Xiao, he is confident that he will not lose to anyone.

Moreover, the Eight Spider Lance on his back has grown back. After devouring the soul power of the ten thousand year old human-faced demon spider, his soul power level has also been improved. He is now much stronger than when he first entered the competition.

In previous competitions, when Shrek Academy drew the Four Elements Academy, it chose to abstain and remain silent in order to hide its strength. Fortunately, it directly won a place in the promotion round on the last day.

"Master, if we really lose the next match against Thunder Academy, what should we do? Is it possible not to play an extra game?"

Dai Mubai spoke at this time. Because of the internal struggle within the family, if he could not advance in this qualifying round, it would mean that he would directly lose the qualification to compete for the throne.

Failure means death. His brother will definitely abolish his soul power and let him end up being imprisoned for life.

Dai Mubai is a person who cherishes his life very much, otherwise, he would not have been afraid of Davis and left Zhu Zhuqing alone to come to Shrek. (End of this chapter)
