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

Chapter 184 Quick decision
Sun Buyu, however, was somewhat worried: "This kind of fast-paced tactic is very easy to execute, but it is also easy to be countered."

"The Elephant Team used this tactic in their match against the Shrek Team. If they hadn't suddenly 'got it,' they probably would have been on the defensive in the subsequent matches."

Most importantly, this tactic is typically used when a strong team plays against a weak team.

After all, charging headlong into the opponent, if one's personal strength is insufficient, is no different from suicide.

Wu Qi countered with a question, "Do you think the Shrek team would consider themselves a weak team?"

The Shrek team has maintained a perfect record since the start of the competition, so it's definitely unrealistic to call them a weak team.

Wu Qi countered again: "Since they don't see themselves as weak and have experience in countering this tactic, the Shrek team couldn't possibly have predicted that we would use this tactic before the match."

Sun Buyu murmured, "Indeed, they wouldn't have thought of that."

Everyone agreed with Wu Qi's words.

But the Shrek team's record is fifty seconds. How much faster do they need to improve to break the record?

After all, forty-nine seconds and thirty seconds are two different concepts.

In thirty seconds, the Shrek team probably wouldn't even have time to set up their formation.

"After the match starts, we'll pretend to set up our formation to make them think we're going to have a proper team battle. Once the referee announces the start of the match, everyone will activate their martial spirits as quickly as possible and charge into their formation with me."

……

The next day's matches were very intense, with many teams having grudges against each other clashing, resulting in each match lasting a long time.

The preliminary rounds are played one round a day, and the matches scheduled later will be finished even if it's late at night; they can't be dragged out to the next day.

Today, we waited until the very end of Hai hour (9-11 PM) before the match between the Qibao team and the Shrek team finally took place.

Even though it was late at night, a large number of people stayed to watch the match between the two undefeated teams.

It's worth mentioning that Tang San didn't let Tai Long play in this match.

Strictly speaking, the Seven Treasures team only has two front-line members, Eternal Sky and Fire Warrior. When Tailong enters the field, Shrek becomes a team with three front-line members.

Both Wu Qi and Feng Xiaotian are agility-type Soul Masters, so Ma Hongjun's role in this match is greater than that of Tailong.

Having learned his lesson from last time, Ma Hongjun didn't eat before the competition this time and remained hungry.

They hadn't eaten much at noon, and by this time they were starving.

On the other hand, the Qibao team delayed their lunch by an hour and ate more, so they can still hold on.

With the emcee's introduction, the two teams took the stage simultaneously.

When Tang San saw that it was Wu Qi who appeared instead of Feng Xiaotian, a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

Yu Xiaogang, standing below the stage, also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely afraid that Tang San would be headstrong and confront Feng Xiaotian's Seven Treasures Team head-on.

Since Wu Qi was such a good-for-nothing, he was relieved.

……

Before the match began, Dai Mubai made a bold statement, "Seven Treasures Team, today I'll let you taste the bitterness of Waterloo."

Surprisingly, Wu Qi seemed to be in a good mood today. Faced with his provocation, he simply nodded slightly and remained silent.

This situation made Dai Mubai lose confidence.

Is the Qibao team overconfident in their abilities, or are they simply giving up because they know they are no match for them?
He glanced at Tang San, who gestured for him to remain silent and whispered, "Mu Bai, say less. None of us have eaten yet; let's conserve our energy for the upcoming match."

He seemed to guess that Wu Qi wanted to use the method of not fighting back or retaliating to waste their money.

……

"As you all know, both Qibao Team and Shrek Team have remained undefeated since the start of the competition." "So, in today's match, will Qibao Team maintain its winning streak, or will Shrek Team emerge as a dark horse? Let's wait and see."

As soon as the emcee finished speaking, the referee announced, "Both teams, please get ready. The match will begin in one minute."

Under Wu Qi's instruction, the members of the Seven Treasures Team formed a battle formation, attempting to engage in a true team spirit battle with the Shrek Team.

Seeing this, Tang San breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He was genuinely afraid that the Seven Treasures team would once again turn team battles into one-on-one battles.

After all, in terms of individual ability, they are still somewhat lacking.

On the high seat, Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly: "A standard offensive and defensive formation. It seems that Xiao Wu is planning to use teamwork."

Gu Rong said irritably, "This kid is very clever. In previous matches, he basically won by relying on his individual strength, which was not interesting at all. I hope this match will be more exciting."

Despite his complaints, he understood that "a skilled warrior does not necessarily achieve great feats."

With such a significant lead in strength, there's no need to reveal tactics when facing ordinary opponents.

With the one-minute preparation time about to end, Wu Qi closed his eyes and focused his mind, sensing the changes in the surrounding airflow.

When the referee is about to blow the whistle, there is a breathing motion that disturbs the airflow around him.

He captured this scene clearly.

He activated his martial spirit almost at the last second when the whistle blew.

The rest of the Seven Treasures team kept their eyes on him, and when they saw him make a move, the others immediately activated their martial souls.

"They rushed the whistle?"

Some viewers are still hung up on this.

But Douluo Continent doesn't have high frame rate cameras, let alone cameras, so how can it recreate what just happened?
For referees, cases where a ruling is optional are generally left unresolved to avoid sparking intense controversy.

The fact that the Seven Treasures team activated their martial spirits so quickly only proves that they reacted quickly.

……

In a normal team battle, after activating their martial spirits, both sides will conduct the first round of probing around their formations, trying to find each other's weaknesses.

Therefore, on the Shrek Academy team's side, only Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai activated their martial souls first, while the others were still observing the situation and conserving their soul power as needed.

By the time they realized what was happening, Wu Qi had already charged forward.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Whirlwind Dragon Body!"

With his soul skill activated, Wu Qi's speed became unbelievable. The tail vortex he created behind him knocked Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng, who were caught off guard, to the ground.

Tang San was shocked. "This is bad! They want to finish this quickly!"

He reacted quickly and fired Blue Silver Grass at a very tricky angle, trying to slow down Wu Qi's attack.

Zhou Yun, standing behind, was immediately alarmed: "The captain is right, Tang San's control techniques are indeed tricky."

but.
The first move has its advantages, and the second move has its own countermeasures.

The Thorn Vine Martial Soul rose from the ground, intertwining with the Blue Silver Grass and twisting into a pretzel.

With the Blue Silver Grass blocked, Wu Qi's figure could no longer stop it.

The moment his third soul skill was activated, five soul rings—yellow, purple, and black—lit up beneath his feet.

"Third soul skill, violent storm!"

With flapping wings, gusts of strong wind were whipped up, and before anyone could react, the entire Shrek team was swept up by the storm.
