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

Chapter 181 Strikes hard
After the match, Feng Xiaotian and the others returned to the rest area and celebrated with Wu Qi by giving him a high five.

Qian Gu Chang Kong was in high spirits and laughed loudly, "I thought they were tough to beat, but it turns out they were just all bark and no bite."

Feng Xiaotian did not underestimate his opponent. "The Mammoth Spiral Cannon is quite powerful. If I were alone at Shenfeng Academy, it would be a bit tricky."

Wu Qi knew that Hu Yanli had not revealed all his cards in this match; at least, his opponent still had helmet-like skulls that he had not yet exposed.

Of course, even if exposed, it would be of no use against the agile Feng Xiaotian.

After glancing at the schedule, Wu Qi said, "Our opponent tomorrow is Tianshui Academy."

Sun Buyu added, "The Feng Huo and Tian Shui teams have already admitted defeat to us, so everyone can rest for a day tomorrow."

This is not surprising. The three families have a very close relationship, and Huo Lie and the others know the strength of the Qibao team. Naturally, they would not let their team be reckless, so as not to expose too many of their trump cards.

Of course, this only applies to the preliminary rounds. They won't give up easily when they reach the finals.

……

The highlight of the next day's competition will be the Shrek Team versus the Elephant Team.

Since the start of the competition, the Shrek team has maintained a winning streak. No matter how bad their character is, no one doubts their strength.

Some of their fans even hailed the Shrek team as the biggest dark horse of this tournament.

Although the Xiangjia team suffered a defeat, their losses were against the championship favorite Qibao team and another dark horse Tianshui team, which is understandable.

Many people acknowledge their abilities.

It is worth mentioning that Hu Yanzhen, the master of Xiangqi League, personally attended today's match.

In the previous re-election of the seven major sects, the Elephant Armor Sect ranked only sixth among the seven major sects.

But now, the Elephant Armor Sect is showing signs of becoming the leader of the four lower sects, and no one dares to underestimate them.

Therefore, when Huyan Zhen appeared beside Salas, he still attracted considerable attention.

With the Feng Shui and Huo families already "joining" the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi wasn't surprised by Hu Yanzhen's actions.

Gu Rong asked curiously, using a telepathic connection, "Feng Zhi, what brings that old bastard Hu Yanzhen here?"

The world is vastly different now than it was in the original timeline. Shrek Academy is no longer the focus of the royal family's attention; on the contrary, the other party is now the royal family's "enemy."

Would Hu Yanzhen be so kind as to stand up for the Tian Dou royal family?
Ning Fengzhi was also unclear about the other party's intentions, but it was clear that this matter did not cause them any loss.

……

As one of the participating teams, the Shrek team made meticulous preparations before the competition.

Yu Xiaogang reminded him, "Xiao San, the Mammoth Spiral Cannon of the Elephant Armor Team is specifically designed to counter aerial targets."

"It might not have been as effective against Feng Xiaotian, who is at the Soul King level, but it would be very easy to deal with you. Therefore, do not take to the air unless absolutely necessary, so as not to get caught in its trap."

Tang San nodded solemnly.

But don't forget that Team Qibao also provided a solution yesterday.

Tang San was confident that his martial soul was no less powerful than Zhou Yun's Thorn Demon Vine. He used the same large net to trap the Elephant Armor Team, but the Mammoth Spiral Cannon was still able to neutralize it.

"In this match, Tyrone will replace Fatty. Tyrone will perform better than Fatty against defensive-type Soul Masters."

Not allowing Ma Hongjun to play in crucial matches does indeed raise suspicions of exclusion.

But Tang San's explanation was reasonable, so Flander didn't say much.

On the other hand, the Elephant Armor Sect was completely baffled.

"Why does the sect leader want us to defeat Shrek Academy at all costs? Isn't that unnecessary?" Huyanba asked, puzzled.

Hu Yanli was also unaware of this.

Despite having lost two matches so far, their chances of advancing are still very good. Even if they lose to the Thunder and Shrek teams, as long as they beat the Wind and Fire team, advancing will definitely be no problem.

It should be understood that without elites such as Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang, even if Shenfeng and Chihuo Academy join forces, their strength will still be greatly reduced.

If that's the case, there's no need for them to reveal their trump cards and fight the Shrek team to the death.

Of course, Hu Yanli and the others would not know that this decision was not made by Hu Yanzhen, but by Xue Qinghe.

Yu Xiaogang openly targets the royal family and is Bibi Dong's lover. How could Xue Qinghe let him off easily?
His idea was to have the Elephant Armor team fight them with all their might.

……

When the sun was high in the sky, the Shrek Team and the Elephant Team stepped onto the arena.

All members of the Qibao team came to the scene to watch.

"How about we make a bet on who will win?" Qian Gu Chang Kong suggested, "I bet ten gold soul coins that the Elephant Armor Team will win."

On paper, the two teams are evenly matched, making it difficult to predict the winner.

Sun Buyu smiled and said, "A little gambling is fun. I'll open the betting. Do you want to place your bets?"

After a moment's consideration, Feng Xiaotian also decided to bet on the Elephant Armor Team.

After all, in terms of experience and foundation, the Elephant Armor Team far surpasses the Shrek Team.

Moreover, Huyan Li is Huyan Zhen's grandson, so he must have other trump cards up his sleeve.

There are six strong teams in this competition, and one of them will inevitably fail to advance.

This match may determine which of the two teams will secure the final qualifying spot.

The Huo siblings, on the other hand, trusted Feng Xiaotian's judgment and each placed a bet of ten gold soul coins.

Sun Buyu weighed the money bag in his hand. "If no one bets on the Shrek team, and the Elephant Armor team loses, I can keep all forty gold soul coins."

Wu Qi smiled, took out ten gold soul coins, and bet on the Shrek team.

The crowd's judgment was correct, but only if Tang San was not a time traveler.

Having lived two lives, Tang San must possess exceptional insight, and the Tang Clan's techniques hold significant importance in such a competition.

Moreover, the Shrek team is now fielding its best players, making them even stronger than in the original timeline.

Chen Ping and Ning Rongrong chose to believe Wu Qi. Qian Gu Chang Kong wanted to change his mind, but there was no point in betting on both sides, so he simply trusted his own judgment.

The substitute players placed their bets casually, not caring much about the ten gold soul coins.

At the start of the match, the Xiangjia team, unlike yesterday, surprisingly opted for a fast-attack strategy.

Hu Yanli unleashed a powerful punch, activating his third soul skill first, leaping into the air and smashing it down on Dai Mubai.

With his own weight and the force of his fall, Dai Mubai alone could hardly withstand it.

Under Tang San's command, Tai Long went to help, while Yu Tianheng held the front line to prevent the other members of the Elephant Armor Team from launching a sneak attack.

After the first round of matches, neither side gained an advantage, but the fast-paced attack tactics of the Elephant Team collapsed on their own.

Below the arena, Yu Xiaogang sneered, "Trying to imitate Shrek's tactics is just wishful thinking."

If tactics fail, the Xiangjia team will inevitably be put on the defensive.

However, they were all tall and strong, and with their physical strength, they managed to create a margin for error.

Hu Yanzhen, standing on the high platform, frowned.

He doesn't participate in the team's management, but using this tactic is utterly foolish.
