Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 177 Digging one’s own grave
"After the match, seeing his son injured, he blamed the opponent?"

Tang San crossed his arms and sneered, "In the world of Soul Masters, everything is based on strength. If he truly possessed strength, how could we have injured him?"

"You should be thankful this is a competition; if this were the world of Soul Masters, your sons would already be dead!"

"You!" The mother was furious and seemed about to hit him.

Frand pulled her along, trying to persuade her gently.

At the same time, he was cursing Yu Xiaogang in his heart.

Yu Xiaogang caused this mess, and instead of handling it properly, he had to clean up the mess, and now the other party is causing trouble.

Does Yu Xiaogang truly not know the current predicament of Shrek Academy, and does he want the academy to close down?
The Shrek Seven Devils also joined in the mischief.

Would it be good for all the nobles in Tiandou City to offend them?

Flander's persuasion was ultimately futile, and the parents' emotions finally erupted after being repeatedly slandered by Yu Xiaogang and his apprentices.

Just as a conflict was about to erupt between the two sides, the city guards arrived in time and dispersed the rioting parents.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang puffed out his chest and said coldly, "Ha, just a bunch of shrewish women, daring to come to Shrek Academy to cause trouble!"

The captain of the guard glanced at him and said indifferently, "You'd better watch yourselves."

His punctual appearance was naturally at the request of Prince Xuexing.

Letting these parents cause a scene at Shrek Academy could indeed be a way to punish Shrek Academy, or even disqualify them from the competition.

However, this punishment is too lenient and obviously cannot completely prevent Shrek Academy from recovering.

For the sake of the grand plan, after learning the news, Prince Xuexing ordered his men to lie in wait on the outskirts, and when the situation was about to get out of control, to disperse the crowd.

Of course, he also wanted to take this opportunity to let these parents see the true face of Shrek Academy, which would facilitate future cooperation.

From God's perspective, Yu Xiaogang has personally blocked Shrek Academy's last path to survival, and will inevitably suffer fierce retaliation in the future.

Offending a nobleman is not something that can be easily forgiven.

……

The Soul Master Competition officially began the following day.

As each team entered the arena, they all cast hostile glances at Shrek Academy.

The Shrek Seven Devils, however, were completely unconcerned. They didn't take the hostility of a group of weaklings seriously.

Yesterday's opening match was the first game of the first round.

Therefore, Shrek Academy has no matches today and can take a short rest.

Yu Xiaogang reminded everyone: "When the official competition begins, each team will reveal their own tactical arrangements. Starting today, during the rest time, everyone should try to stay at the arena and watch the battle."

"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will be able to fight without danger."

The first match of the day is between Qibao Team and Otto Team.

Team Otto is a team with six Soul Masters and one Soul Grandmaster. In terms of strength, they are not at the bottom of the competition, but they are not enough to force Team Seven Treasures to show their full strength.

Yu Xiaogang felt a little regretful, "The Otto team isn't very strong. If it were a veteran academy, they would have been able to see through the Qibao team's tactical system. Although it's a pity, everyone still watched carefully and tried to figure out each person's tactical habits."

Meanwhile, in the rest room of the Qibao team.

Wu Qi made personnel arrangements: "All substitutes will play in this match, followed by Chen Ping, Xiao Tian, ​​and Chang Kong." He paused, then looked at Feng Xiao Tian, ​​"You'll be the one to cover for us in this match, and try to give everyone a chance to perform."

Ning Tianyu had a good grasp of the big picture, and he suggested, "The Otto team is indeed not very strong. Why don't we make the Soul Battle a one-on-one match? That way, we won't expose our tactics."

Wu Qi smiled slightly and did not express his opinion: "Since you are the ones playing, you can decide the arrangements for this match yourselves."

About an incense stick's time later, after the teams from each academy and the audience were seated, the two teams stepped onto the stage with the emcee's loud announcement.

In the rest area, looking at the Qibao team's roster, Yu Xiaogang frowned. "They've fielded four substitutes. It seems they're trying to conserve their strength."

He dismissed it with disdain.

What's the point of hiding their tactical skills if they lack the ability to execute them effectively?

After the match started, the Qibao team continued to use the one-on-one tactic. Because the opponent was too weak, Feng Xiaotian didn't even have to activate his martial spirit before the match ended.

Compared to Shrek Academy's atrocities, Qibao Academy went much lighter, and the Otto Academy team members only suffered minor injuries.

After the match, many viewers discussed this extensively.

"While Shrek Academy's performance yesterday was questionable, their strength is undeniable. It remains to be seen whether this dark horse or the championship favorite, Qibao Team, will prove to be stronger."

Local viewers already had the answer: "Brother, you must be from out of town. You don't know, but before the competition started, the Qibao team had already competed against the Shrek team in the Soul Arena."

"The Shrek team tried every trick in the book, but they were still eliminated 0-7. Do we even need to say what the result will be after another match?"

The murmurs of the audience eventually reached the ears of the Shrek team.

Tang San sneered at this, "Heh, I didn't expect there to be such a snobbish guy."

Yu Xiaogang scoffed, "Xiao San, there's no need to get angry with them. The Qibao team is just a makeshift operation."

Seeing the opponent's tactics just now, he was certain that the Qibao team had no tactical coordination.

They can only rely on the strong abilities of their team members to win in one-on-one situations.

Yu Xiaogang smiled and said confidently, "According to my formation, if they dare to challenge me alone, they will face two of us at the same time. With their coordination, they simply cannot break our formation."

At this point, the Shrek Seven Devils were full of confidence.

Dai Mubai even confidently stated, "I hope to meet the Qibao team tomorrow, crush them under my feet as soon as possible, and prove our strength soon."

"This..." Yu Xiaogang hesitated for a moment, "Let's forget about the qualifiers. We can't reveal our trump card tactics too early."

Defeating the Qibao team at this moment is certainly satisfying, but it exposed our tactics, which won't work next time.

Don't forget, there are quite a few talented people in Qibao Academy, so breaking their tactics shouldn't be a problem.

Tang San disagreed, saying, "Teacher, if we don't curb their arrogance, the margin for error will be too low for us when we reach the finals."

"Even if we lose to them in the qualifiers, it won't affect our final result. Moreover, we can use this opportunity to identify our weaknesses and improve our tactics in the finals."

"Teacher, they don't know our final strategy. What's wrong with revealing part of it beforehand?"

Yu Tianheng chimed in, "That's right, Uncle Xiaogang. Morale is the most important thing. If we can demoralize them, we might even make them dissatisfied with Wu Qi, which could lead to infighting and benefit us."

After being persuaded by everyone, Yu Xiaogang finally agreed, but he still had to revise some details of the tactics.
