Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Chapter 68 Power Selection
Upon hearing this battle list, Shrek's teachers couldn't help but smile.

"It's true that enemies often meet in a narrow road. It seems that I'm being treated as a soft persimmon." Shi Yi chuckled.

"You must be regretting this, kid. There aren't many opportunities like this to beat up aristocratic kids in broad daylight." Zhao Wuji smiled at Shi Yi.

Shi Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Just let others beat him up, and I won't have to bear the consequences. I don't have a strong background like Rongrong and Tang San."

Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of Flanders and Yu Xiaogang. Flanders said slowly: "Did you guess that we would face those nobles today?"

Shi Yi laughed and said, "How could I guess that? But I can understand what the guy on the platform is thinking. After all, they are the team representing the Royal Academy, and they represent the face of the Royal Academy to a certain extent. They must find a soft persimmon to squeeze at the opening ceremony. It just so happens that you, the dean, put on those shit green uniforms for them, and Shrek is obviously regarded as a soft persimmon. I can still see this human relationship. Anyway, Rongrong and Tang San are both from prominent backgrounds, so it doesn't matter if they are beaten. The Royal Family should still give this face to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"This kid is smarter than a monkey." Zhao Wuji also said to several people.

While a few people were chatting, the competition began.

Tang San in the field instantly summoned his martial soul, and blue silver grass stretched out around his body. The growing leaves emitted sharp light under the sunlight. As Tang San's hands began to move, dense blue leaves danced in the field, and the scene was quite beautiful.

To deal with these second-generation rich people who did not pose much threat, Tang San's tactics were simple and clear. With a large number of leaves pouring out, Dai Mubai, Tai Long and Huang Yuan used the cover of the blue silver grass' leaves to break through directly from the front. Jing Ling and Zhu Zhuqing went around from the side and launched an offensive against the Tiandou Royal Academy.

"It does seem like there's some sort of coordination between infantry and artillery." Shi Yi chuckled as he watched the scene.

"Infantry-artillery coordination, what does that mean?" Yu Xiaogang asked curiously after hearing this new term.

Shi Yi pondered and said slowly: "This... is like on the battlefield, first using long-range weapons such as bows and arrows to strike the enemy, and then using infantry or cavalry formations to attack."

"Bow and arrow? You also studied war? Then why not call it bow and step coordination?" Yu Xiaogang asked back.

Shi Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. He was speechless for a moment. Why not call it bow and step coordination? Because I am not an ancient person.

"Isn't it because there are no artillery in your era? That's why I was talking about bows and arrows. Although I'm not a science student, I can still make gunpowder. If we really want to make a cannon, wouldn't it be the coordination of infantry and artillery? Soul masters are also human beings. Can they withstand cannons?" Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.

Tang San's Buddha's Wrath Tanglian can kill a Titled Douluo, which shows that the soul master is actually a profession with high attack and low defense. All the cultivation depends on the martial soul. Even the soul master army is powerless in the face of the power of technology. The stronger the power of technology, the lower the manpower cost, but the resource cost will be higher.

"However, Xiao San's Zhuge Divine Crossbow is very suitable for war. It is small and light. Not only is it powerful, but it can also fire continuously. It requires very little movement when used, and ordinary soul masters can't withstand it." Yu Xiaogang said softly without too much hesitation.

While the two were chatting, dense and sharp leaves were flying around the field. Except for the defensive spirit masters, no one could be unscathed. Under Tang San's first round of "fire", all the members of Tiandou Royal Academy's second team were injured without exception. The two sides, who had a gap in combat power, could only wait to be harvested by the Shrek "infantry".

Although Tang San now does not have the same powerful control ability as in the original novel, his damage ability is far beyond that of the original novel. In the original novel, it takes one minute to complete the coordination of control chain and output when facing such an opponent. Now, Shrek has less than a minute to end the battle.

With Zhu Zhuqing's elusive speed, she was able to harvest the enemy with extremely high efficiency.

Seeing the Shrek team in shit green instantly ending the Tiandou Royal Academy Team 2, all the audience fell silent for a moment, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Stop. We surrender." Seeing that the situation was not good, the teacher leading the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy hurriedly threw out a white towel. And quickly ran onto the stage. Stop the Shrek Academy players from continuing to fight.

Seeing his teammates covered in blood, the team leader of Tiandou Royal Academy yelled at the referee angrily.

"Referee, I want to complain. They are not playing at all, but killing people. They violated the rules of the game. I want them to lose."

The referee slowly came back to his senses at this time and set his eyes on the Shrek people.

Tang San said calmly: "Respected referee, I was very measured in my attack, not a single leaf hit their vital points, the battle changes rapidly, since this is a match that means we are evenly matched, I can't let them fail without any injury."

"You..." The teacher in charge pointed at Tang San but couldn't say anything in rebuttal.

The referee was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and turned to look at the seven people from the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy who had fallen to the ground. Although they had wounds of varying degrees on their bodies, they were definitely not dead.

Even the referee didn't know how to pronounce the verdict. This seemingly simple verdict was a bit of a thorn in his throat. After all, it was related to the reputation of the empire. When the referee was hesitating, two more referees came up on the stage and whispered a few words in his ears. The referee then announced, "First round of the first qualifying match, Shrek Academy wins."

Wow..., a huge discussion suddenly broke out in the audience. For a moment, voices of doubt, admiration, and shock resounded throughout the venue. Although many people knew that the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy were composed of useless children of nobles, in this world where blood inheritance was above all else, the actual quality of the martial spirits of noble members was much higher than that of ordinary people.

What they didn't expect was that most of Shrek's members were not from the civilian team.

On the high platform, Emperor Xue Ye stood up with a grim face. His gaze fell on Prince Xue Xing who looked dazed. He snorted coldly and walked away.

Ning Fengzhi followed Emperor Xue Ye out of the VIP seats with a smile on his face. As a die-hard princeling, he naturally revealed Shrek's origins during his conversation with Xue Ye.

After one game, everyone's mental state changed. Except for Tang San, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, the other four were all excited. They were different from the former, as they came from real civilian families. For them, this game was a chance to change their destiny.

Even Oscar and Ma Hongjun were eager to get on the field. Although they were much better than the four substitutes and had teachers like Flanders and Shao Xin behind them, they understood that they still had to find a suitable destination in the end.

As for Shi Yi, he has actually been thinking about his own power. He is not like Tang San, who has the ambition to restore the Tang Sect. Compared to building a power by himself, he is more willing to join a power. This is also a problem he must face. At the moment when Tang San decided to kill him, he had hesitated for a long time and decided. If Tang San was willing to listen to Shi Yi's words before the attack, Shi Yi would not have to join the Spirit Hall to fight against Tang San. For him, it would be good not to participate in the struggle between forces, to be self-sufficient, and to be a teacher in the academy. But since Tang San has chosen to take action, Shi Yi now has only the Spirit Hall as his choice. Only the Spirit Hall can save his life in the hands of the Haotian Sect.

Thinking of this, Shi Yi felt infinite emotion when looking at Tang San's indifferent expression. Of course, even if he joined the Spirit Hall, he couldn't join openly. Shi Yi would not give Tang Hao and Jian Gu a reason to take action.

"During the competition, I have been unable to practice properly. It seems I have to go to the East Palace to exchange ideas." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.

Soon after the game ended, Shi Yi and the Shrek team returned to the hotel arranged by the competition organizing committee. After a brief greeting, Shi Yi slowly left in the direction of the Tiandou Palace.

As Shi Yi arrived at the palace gate, before he could show the token given by Qian Renxue, a carriage slowly drove out of the palace and stopped in front of Shi Yi.

The driver also slowly got off the car, bowed respectfully to Shi Yi, and said to Shi Yi: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in."

Shi Yi was slightly startled, then came to his senses and slowly got into the car.

"Is this a show of strength to me? What a great way of using both kindness and force." Shi Yi thought to himself. By predicting the arrival of a guest, Qian Renxue was, in plain words, telling Shi Yi that she had been keeping an eye on him. In an indirect way, she was also telling Shi Yi that she could kill him at any time.

Shi Yi did not take these seriously. He sat in the carriage and quietly admired the scenery inside the palace. The palace in this world was different from the royal buildings in his previous life.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the East Palace where Qian Renxue lived.

"Dear guest, we are here." The driver's voice came from outside the carriage. Shi Yi also came down slowly after hearing the voice and smiled at the driver, "Thank you."

The coachman bowed to Shi Yi and said respectfully, "I dare not." Shi Yi smiled and didn't care. He followed the waiter and slowly entered the East Palace.

Soon, Shi Yi, led by the waiter, came to a courtyard. Looking closely, he saw Qian Renxue sitting in front of a stone table with many documents piled on it.

Shi Yi smiled slightly and walked over slowly. Seeing Shi Yi coming, Qian Renxue also showed a smile and said, "It's rare. You disappeared for a few months. What's the reason for you to come to see me this time?"

Shi Yi was not polite either. He sat down opposite Qian Renxue and said with a smile, "My teacher asked me to break through to the Soul Sect before the competition. I went to the Xingdou Great Forest to hunt for soul rings a few days ago. That's why I haven't visited you for a while. Brother Xue, please forgive me."

Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with a gleam of light when she heard this. She nodded and said with a smile: "Teacher really didn't make a mistake in choosing him. He has reached the level of Soul Sect at this age. Even the Blue Lightning Twin Stars are no better than him."

"Brother Xue, you are too kind. I came here this time also to see the child." Shi Yi looked at Qian Renxue and said seriously.

Qian Renxue said unhappily, "This is not a nursery. I have already sent the child to Tiandou Royal Academy. I will take you to see the child when I have time."

Shi Yi smiled and nodded, then slowly took out a booklet from his soul guide and handed it to Qian Renxue, saying softly: "I am not familiar with Tiandou Royal Academy, but I guess that child has already obtained her first soul ring. This is my gift to her."

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. She looked at the booklet in Shi Yi's hand, which had the words "Twelve Classics" written on it.

"Twelve Classics? I didn't expect that Xiao Yi is also a scholar." Qian Renxue took the booklet and said slowly, not flipping through it politely.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi shook his head slightly and said, "These twelve classics are not literary works, but a new meditation method created by me. Not only is the practice speed faster than the original basic meditation method, but it also has the effect of warming up the body. The earlier you practice, the better the effect."

Qian Renxue was surprised when she heard that. She thought of the information he had sent people to investigate. Looking at the twelve meridians in her hand, she became even more surprised.

"Xiao Yi, you just gave such a precious thing to that child?" Qian Renxue said, looking at Shi Yi deeply, as if she wanted to see something from Shi Yi.

"It's not only for that child, but also for Brother Xue. With this thing, if every child with soul power can practice smoothly, perhaps the buying and selling of highly talented girls will never happen again in the Tiandou Auction House." Shi Yi looked at Qian Renxue and said softly.

Qian Renxue fell silent after hearing that. At this moment, she suddenly became curious about Shi Yi. She had read Shi Yi's information, learned some things about Shi Yi from Ning Fengzhi, and also seen Shi Yi looking at those beauties with lustful eyes at the auction. At this moment, she had a new opinion of Shi Yi. She suddenly wanted to know what kind of person Shi Yi was.

Qian Renxue looked at Shi Yi and nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "I'll accept this. I'll give her a copy, but it's unrealistic for you to spread this thing. It can only be circulated in the hands of a small number of people. For example, if you give these twelve meridians to that child, when that child grows up and understands the value of this thing, he or she will not give it to others easily."

Shi Yi certainly understood this truth. Even after ten thousand years, Tang Clan's Xuan Tian Gong was still as awesome as ever. Why hadn't anyone come up with something more awesome than it after ten thousand years? Because this thing would only be in the hands of a small number of people. If everyone could be like a dragon, who would be willing to serve the nobles like cattle and horses? Besides, the number of soul beasts on the continent could not support the soul masters' creation like this.

"It is precisely because I understand this truth that I give this thing to you. Brother Xue, as the crown prince of the empire, you have greater influence. I also understand that this is unlikely to be accomplished, but it would be nice even if you use this to train some girls to serve you." Shi Yi said, looking like an idealist.

Qian Renxue looked at Shi Yi, sighed slightly, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll take the things."

Hearing this, Shi Yi smiled and said, "Since the child is not here, and you are busy, Brother Xue, I will take my leave first?"

"No hurry, now that you're here, my palace doesn't need you to have a meal, so chat with me for a while." Qian Renxue said as she waved slightly to the waiter not far away.

The waiter understood and quickly removed the document from the stone table.
