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

Chapter 200 The Finale

Zhao Wuji was not the only one who shared the same idea.

Shao Xin and others were also disappointed with Shrek Academy.

They held high positions in the academy, with Flander even serving as the dean.

In practice, however, the college still has to listen to the opinions of Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong on all matters, big and small.

Their only gain was probably that the academy's name was changed to Shrek Academy.

“We’ll go with our elder brother. Since Tiandou City can’t accommodate us, there’s no need for us to shamelessly stay here.”

However, Shao Xin and others were not keen on retiring at this point.

They are not even sixty years old, in the prime of their lives, and it is too early for them to retire.

Given Flander's current mindset, they didn't say much, deciding to discuss starting a business in a different industry with him when the time was right.

……

Shrek Academy has garnered considerable attention through its unconventional methods.

In contrast, the Qibao team attracted viewers' attention by relying on their strong strength and undefeated record.

With the Shrek Academy turmoil subsiding, the preliminary rounds are also coming to an end.

Today is the last day of the competition.

Following the opening ceremony, Emperor Xueye once again came to the competition venue.

The reason is simple: after today's competition, he will present the advancement certificates to each team.

The first match of the day is between the Qibao team and the Thunder team.

So far, the Thunder team has only lost to the Tianshui team. If they can defeat the Qibao team today, all three teams will have lost one game and will be tied for first place and advance.

On the other hand, if the Qibao team wins this match, they will advance with a perfect record, breaking the record in the history of the competition.

Supporters of both teams take this match very seriously.

On paper, Qibao team undoubtedly has the advantage of overwhelming victory. However, Thunder team's resilience should not be underestimated, and they are not entirely without a chance.

Qibao Team's rest area.

Wu Qi made personnel arrangements on the spot: "Just follow the tactics we discussed last night. Let Xiaotianshang win this game, and then add four substitutes, plus Chang Kong and Chen Ping."

Yu Tianxin's strength was simply not enough to interest him; once on the arena, his opponent would inevitably get entangled with him.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to just let Feng Xiaotian take the stage.

Feng Xiaotian had no reason to refuse; in the past, he and Yu Tianxin had been formidable rivals.

After obtaining the immortal herb, his strength increased, but he still did not underestimate his opponent.

However, Yu Tianxin was focused on Wu Qi, so they stopped sparring together.

Ning Rongrong said with a smile, "Everyone, keep it up! If we win this match, we'll advance with a perfect record."

"Keep it up!" Sun Buyu encouraged everyone.

If he leads a team to a perfect record in the qualifiers, his market value will rise accordingly.

Not to mention, the strength of the Qibao team is far more than that.

……

As the emcee's voice faded, the two contestants walked onto the arena from the side passages.

On the arena, seeing that it was not Wu Qi who was fighting, Yu Tianxin felt helpless and surprised. "It seems that the gap between me and him is becoming more and more obvious. He is not even willing to fight me."

Feng Xiaotian replied with a smile, "There's no need to belittle yourself."

"The qualifying rounds are followed by the promotion rounds. The captain has other things to do, so he can't participate in this match due to unforeseen circumstances. Otherwise, why would he miss it so easily?"

Unlike Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin was more composed and there was no conflict between them, so Feng Xiaotian naturally did not want to hurt her.

As the referee announced the start of the match, both teams simultaneously activated their martial spirits. In this final battle, both sides had already secured their spots in the next round, so there was no need for a fierce fight, much less for them to reveal their trump cards.

Both sides adopted conventional formations, and neither showed a strong desire to attack.

Shrek team's rest area.

Yu Xiaogang scoffed, "What on earth is Tianxin up to? They had such a great opportunity to defeat the Qibao team, yet they're playing so conservatively?"

Because of Ma Hongjun's situation, Flander had lost interest in managing the academy and naturally did not come to watch the game.

At this moment, this place has become Yu Xiaogang's one-man show.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng was the first to chime in, "Hmph, I'm afraid Tianxin is already in cahoots with the Seven Treasures team!"

The two sides were competitors to begin with, and in his view, Yu Tianxin's refusal to reveal her hand was entirely intentional.

Given how powerful the Seven Treasures team is, shouldn't we surround and annihilate them to force them to reveal their trump cards?
Wouldn't it be easier to defeat the opponent when we get to the final stage?

Tang San sneered, "These guys have no sense of the big picture!"

"Hmph, even without seeing the Seven Treasures Team's trump card, we are still not afraid."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Yu Xiaogang.

After several days of deliberation, Yu Xiaogang devised a plan for cultivating twin martial souls. Furthermore, he also gained some insights into multi-dimensional martial soul fusion techniques.

With multiple trump cards up his sleeve, Tang San refused to believe that he couldn't defeat the Seven Treasures Team on the final stage!
……

Qibao Team's rest area.

Wu Qi and the others stopped paying attention to the outcome of this match and instead focused on the advancement of teams from other regions.

Within the kingdom and duchy, the number of advanced soul master academies is far less than that of the two major competition regions, Tiandou and Xingluo.

The teams that advanced from each kingdom and duchy were already determined half a month ago.

After such a long period of investigation, the information on these teams had already been presented to Wu Qi.

Although no teams will be eliminated in the subsequent qualifying rounds, the rankings in the qualifying rounds will affect the matchups and byes in the finals.

If you get first place, you'll get a bye in the second round of the finals.

Don't underestimate this opportunity. Use it to observe your opponent's strength, as it will be very important for the upcoming matches.

“Xiao Wu, we’ve been to the northern part of the empire, you should know what’s going on there.”

"Therefore, we should pay more attention to the teams from the north in the upcoming qualifying rounds."

Northerners are known for their martial spirit, and among people of the same rank, northerners have significantly more combat experience.

Moreover, in terms of physique, many Northern Soul Masters are even more exaggerated in size than those from the Elephant Armor Sect.

Unfortunately, the Elephant Armor Sect is destined to fail to advance in this competition. No matter how strong they are in one-on-one combat, it will be in vain.

Wu Qi nodded seriously, "In battles between low-level Soul Masters, a robust physique has a natural advantage."

"However, we have two Soul Kings in our team, so overall there shouldn't be too much of a problem. Maintaining first place shouldn't be a problem."

"Teacher Sun, please collect more information about the team spirit of these teams."

After all, the finals are all team battles.

The qualifying rounds are only one-on-one matches, with very little room for tactical maneuvering.

It's nothing more than guessing the order in which the opponent's players will appear, and then making targeted adjustments.

……

There was no suspense in this match; Team Qibao won at the cost of four players being eliminated.

Thus, a new record was set in the Soul Master Competition.

Advancing with a perfect record in the qualifiers is a feat that will be recorded in history.
