Douluo Continent: All I Do Is Destroy Rings is Skill.

Chapter 286 You better not hold back, kid.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

After the dinner, Xiao Hongchen left quietly, only giving Ning Wuque a way to contact him and doing nothing else.

Ning Wuque accepted the gift without hesitation and then returned with the others to the grand hotel arranged for them by the Mingdu authorities.

Shrek's hotels are very large, and compared to the overly luxurious architectural style of Xingluo, Mingdu's hotels are more focused on comfort and technology.

Ning Wuque, who was very tech-savvy, specifically asked Xiao Shi to search the entire residence to see if there were any soul tools like surveillance cameras. He valued his and his wife's reputation a little more.

If this was the residence arranged for him by Xiao Hongchen, he could rest assured that the other party wouldn't do anything underhanded; it was a tacit understanding and trust between two men who had clashed before.

But since this hotel was arranged by the Mingdu royal family, there was absolutely no trust to speak of. Ning Wuque felt that they were capable of anything.

It's not a stereotype, but what kind of good thing could something be that can cooperate with evil spirit masters?

Even though there are many pitiful people among the evil spirit masters, the saying still holds true: a rotten orange is a rotten orange! Even if you want to eat it, you have to peel it and smell the flesh first!

"There's no such thing as what Wuque mentioned."

While Ning Wuque and Ning Tian were taking a bath together, Xiao Shi, who had been sent on an overseas mission, suddenly traveled back in time and appeared next to Ning Wuque. At the same time, several tentacles wrapped around his body, and his voice was clear and ethereal.

In response, Ning Wuque gently stroked her whiskers to express his gratitude, which allowed the latter to contentedly enter his sea of ​​consciousness.

Is it safe?

"Of course it's safe."

"Then get some rest early tonight. We have a tactical meeting tomorrow, so I won't bother you these days. Let's try to beat that guy named Long Aotian."

"Um."

Holding the soft, fragrant Ning Tian in his arms, Ning Wuque gently inhaled the scent emanating from his body.

He really needs to prepare properly, otherwise he might lose to his opponent because of a slight deficiency in his vital energy. Not only would it be embarrassing, but he himself would probably find it hard to let go of the regret. So he'll just skip this month; there's plenty of time ahead anyway.

Self-discipline and self-control are qualities that a self-reliant person should possess.

.........

The following morning, in the hotel's lobby, the fifteen members of Shrek Academy sat on sofas and chairs, forming an uneven circle. Because there was no proper teacher like Wang Yan in the team, this tactical meeting was actually a small discussion and summary.

With a stable Soul Douluo combat power and a fighter whose burst damage is comparable to an ordinary Title Douluo, they don't actually need much tactical planning. They only need to arrange the order of appearance when they encounter a few formidable opponents.

"Everyone has seen the rule changes from yesterday, right? With no altitude limit for flight, Soul Masters have the greatest advantage, so we need to add Mingde Hall to our list of key adversaries this time."

With his seventh-ring strength and the aid of a soul tool, Xiao Hongchen is comparable to an aerial gunship. Although we don't know his specific combat performance, we can make an assumption based on his previous combat style.

The meeting was opened by Bei Bei, who, as the official team captain, also had to take on the role of commander this time. Zhang Lexuan mainly provided supplementary information based on her experience.

"Of course, the reason for such precautions is the strength of the other teams. We need to be in the best possible condition to deal with them in order to have any chance of winning this championship. Any unnecessary losses caused in one match could have a chain reaction due to a sudden encounter in the next match."

The cooldown time for the Martial Soul True Body is too long, and Wuque's burst also has a cooldown period. Unless we encounter another strong team five days later, or the opponent is also forced to use the Martial Soul True Body, we will be in an extremely passive position in this competition.

"For example, Long Aotian from the Body Sect and his little brother Yuhao, as well as Wu Feng from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Speaking of which... Wuque, if you encountered her, you wouldn't hold back, would you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bei Bei looked at Ning Wuque with some uncertainty. This was a high-probability event, so he had to figure it out. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was almost certain to enter the top eight in this competition, unless they encountered other strong teams in the round of sixteen.

Unfortunately, there's an unwritten rule in every Soul Fighting Tournament: the draw for each strong team is actually pseudo-random. The organizers only put one slightly weaker team into the random pool to make the competition more exciting.

If there are too many strong teams, then in the round of 16 and the quarterfinals, two strong teams of similar level will be drawn from the same pool to increase the chances of them facing each other.

This means that once they enter the round of 16, they are very likely to draw the first strong team due to bad luck, and then they will likely draw another strong team in the quarterfinals, and finally they will definitely draw a strong team in the semifinals.

Apart from the finals, the rest time for other matches is only one day! That's not enough time to recover the Martial Soul True Form, so it's best to avoid using the Martial Soul True Form in matches that can be finished.

Even without his Martial Soul True Body, Wu Feng's true strength could still rival that of a Soul Douluo under extreme circumstances. Without activating his Martial Soul True Body, Bei Bei would be completely defeated!

If Ning Wuque had held back in the match and hadn't exhausted Wu Feng's stamina too much, their side might have been easily wiped out by her alone.

There's no other reason. To put it bluntly, the others are just there to make up the numbers. Apart from the core members Bei Bei and Ning Wuque, only Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan are somewhat useful because of their bloodlines and soul skills. The rest will be easily wiped out.

Correspondingly, the other teams are similar; apart from the real monsters and Soul Saints, none of them are worthy of being mentioned.

"Um..."

Ning Wuque, whose name was suddenly called out by Bei Bei, had a slightly unfocused look in his eyes. To be honest, ever since he experienced the true beauty of Wu Feng, he no longer wanted to hit her, so:

"I'm saving my trump card for Long Aotian. If we run into Wu Feng, then you go first, Bei Bei, and I guarantee I'll finish you off smoothly."

"You better really finish this job."

With a suspicious look at Ning Wuque, who seemed a bit unreliable, Bei Bei prayed that they wouldn't encounter the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's team. It would be best if they could be worn down or even eliminated along the way.

The team's leader is clearly incredibly strong, but he was charmed by the opponent's beauty trap and rendered unable to move. It's really a headache!

But Bei Bei couldn't really say anything, after all, Wu Feng was Ning Wuque's legitimate wife, and there was always a reason why she would go easy on him.

"Alright, let's do a tactical simulation next. Let me first talk about the strong teams we need to pay attention to this time, and the order in which we might encounter them according to the unspoken rules of the tournament."
