Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 134 Rising to Fame, Yet Feeling Absolutely Uninvolved
The following days of points competition became a rather tedious process for Dai Yuntian's team.

In most matches, the opponents either crumbled quickly under Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie's unreasonable "amplification + ultimate move" instant kill strategy at the start, or wisely chose to concede and surrender before the match even began.

The opponents said they felt almost no involvement; what kind of insane matchmaking system is this?

However, this style of play, which focuses on maximizing early game power and aiming for the ultimate initiative and instant kill, has been thoroughly popularized by these three players!

Not only was it widely imitated in various competition areas for freshman assessments, but this trend even spread to class competitions and daily battles among senior students.

In an instant, all sorts of explosive openings and matches where either you were instantly killed or I ran out of soul power emerged one after another.

Of course, this style of play has an extremely high threshold, requiring strict control of soul power, timing, and execution by team members.

Playing it well results in a dazzling, instant kill, bringing glory to the entire audience; playing it poorly means a free win right from the start, leaving you vulnerable during your soul power vacuum period, making you a sitting duck and a pitiful sight.

Many new and returning students who blindly followed the trend were tormented by this "double-edged sword," resulting in dismal performance.

The week-long points tournament quickly came to a close amidst such dramatic matches filled with "instant kills" and "counter-instant kills".

In the end, the trio of Dai Yuntian, Zhu Lu, and Cui Yajie achieved an astonishing undefeated record, securing first place in their group and advancing to the knockout stage.

Following closely behind was the Ningtian team, which also maintained a perfect record.

Dai Qiu'er's addition has elevated the team to a terrifying level on both offense and defense, making them a strong favorite to win the championship.

The third-place finisher on the leaderboard was somewhat unexpected.

Neither Dai Huabin's aggressive team nor the promising duo of Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, but rather the Xie Huan Yue team, which had a relatively low profile in the original work, managed to squeeze into the top three thanks to their solid teamwork and consistent performance.

……

The bulletin board in the central square of the college was crowded with people.

A huge light screen displayed the list of the 32 teams that advanced to the knockout stage and their brief records.

The students watching were buzzing with discussion, their focus almost entirely on the two "monster teams" in the top two positions.

"Holy crap! Dai Yuntian's team, undefeated in the points competition?! Not a single loss? This is such a complete stomp!"

"Ning Tian's team is also undefeated! Good heavens, these two teams are absolutely dominant! It's terrifying!"

"Tsk tsk, anyone who gets drawn against them in the first round of the knockout stage is really having the worst luck imaginable."

"Yeah, it feels like the championship will be decided between these two teams..."

The murmurs of the crowd reached the ears of Xie Huanyue and his two companions, who had just walked to the bulletin board.

Xie Huanyue was tall and fat, standing there like a wall.

Two teammates were flanking him, looking up at the glaring words "Complete Victory" behind "Dai Yuntian's Team" and "Ning Tian's Team" on the screen, their faces showing a hint of seriousness and worry.

"Boss..."

The skinny teammate on the left, Luo Tianlong, swallowed hard and whispered, "Looks like our upcoming opponents are getting tougher and tougher..."

Luo Tianba on the right echoed, his tone filled with awe: "Yes, I've heard about it before. That Dai Yuntian entered the sect as a Soul Master, and his strength is practically inhuman! Those two girls in his team are ruthless too, they went all out from the start..."

Caught up in the tension between the two, Xie Huan Yue curled his lips into a confident smile:

"What's there to be afraid of? A high soul power level doesn't mean everything. I've already figured out their opening-kill strategy and how to counter it."

"real?!"

Upon hearing this, the two men's eyes lit up with joy, as if they had seen a lifeline: "Boss, what's the plan? Tell us quickly!"

Xie Huanyue straightened his back, looking shrewd and calculating, yet unable to figure things out.

He lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"Look at Dai Yuntian's team, the one responsible for instantly killing is Zhu Lu, the Netherworld Cat, an agility-based attacker, right? No matter how fast she is, no matter how many times she can kill, can she kill me?"

He pointed to himself, very confident: "My Pipi Elephant Martial Soul has top-notch defense among its peers. As long as I'm at the front, her first burst of power won't be able to kill me!"

Then, you two shouldn't hold back at the start either, use your ultimate skills too, and let's have three against two, focusing our fire on their control-type Cui Yajie, or try to limit Dai Yuntian!

I refuse to believe that with me as their super tank, they can wipe us all out before we even take down one of them!

"..." The surprise on their faces froze instantly, then slowly turned into speechlessness.

That's it?

The solution you're suggesting is to use your thick skin to tough it out, and then gamble that we can out-burst out faster than the other side?
Isn't this just a different approach to head-on confrontation?

That's like saying nothing at all, boss!

Seeing the blank stares of the two, Xie Huanyue realized that his "brilliant plan" didn't seem to be very convincing.

He coughed twice and concluded, "Ahem! Anyway, no matter how strong the opponent is, we must show our spirit. Even if we lose, we must lose with honor and not let others look down on us."

Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba exchanged a glance, both seeing the word "resignation" in each other's eyes.

Well, I've been stuck with such an "optimistic" boss.

What else can we do but bite the bullet and go for it?
……

On the other side, Ning Tian's team had just finished their morning training.

Three stunningly beautiful girls, each with their own unique charm, were resting against the railing outside the teaching building, listening to the praise for Dai Yuntian's team from downstairs.

Wu Feng turned his head and asked curiously, "Qiu'er, can I ask you something? If, I mean if, you were to face Dai Yuntian one-on-one, would you be confident?"

"Hmm, it's hard to say..."

Dai Qiu'er thought about it seriously for a while, then shook her head, unable to give a definite answer.

If we're talking about before the transformation, then I was definitely stronger.

But once I transform into human form, it's hard to say.

Although his martial soul after transformation was the top-tier Golden Dragon, possessing unparalleled power.

But Dai Yuntian's martial soul is equally mysterious and powerful. More importantly, his ridiculously powerful soul ring configuration is far superior to mine.

Wu Feng's face immediately fell, and her tone was somewhat worried: "Ah? Doesn't that mean..."

Ning Tian ruffled her hair, smiled slightly, and said in a clear and confident voice, "Silly Xiao Feng, don't be so quick to diminish your own prestige and boost others' morale. Have you forgotten that you still have me?"

She gracefully raised her hand, and a crystal-clear, radiant seven-story pagoda phantom appeared faintly in her palm, emanating a gentle fluctuation of soul power.

"As long as my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda continues to amplify your and Qiu'er's power, Qiu'er's strength will never be inferior to Dai Yuntian's! We are a team, aren't we?"

As a top-tier support-type Soul Master, Ning Tian has absolute confidence in the value of her Martial Soul and her role in the team.

"That makes sense."

Wu Feng's eyes lit up, and he instantly recovered, a smile returning to his face, his previous worry gone.

She chuckled, turned around, and gave Dai Qiu'er a big hug, affectionately nuzzling her cheek: "Hehe, Qiu'er! Now it's up to you to show your skills! Xiao Tian and I will be your strongest support!"

This week's points competition was the most relaxed and enjoyable week for Wu Feng since joining Shrek Academy.

Under Ning Tian's extreme amplification, Dai Qiu'er practically transformed into a humanoid ferocious beast.

One punch, one kid; invincible.

The overwhelming pleasure was so exhilarating that even Ning Tian, ​​a support-type character, found it incredibly satisfying.

"It's alright, it's not that strong."

Dai Qiu'er's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

No one dislikes being praised, not even emperors and mythical beasts.

"Hmm... Qiu'er, you smell so good! If this weren't Shrek Academy, I'd suspect you're a plant-type soul beast in human form."

Wu Feng buried his entire face in those soft cleavages, putting on an "epic lung-filling" performance.
