Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 273: Tactics

The three of them were stunned, their eyes twitching slightly.

It's truly hard to understand why someone as powerful as His Holiness the Pope would utter such a thing as luck.

You must understand that His Holiness the Pope is a god in their eyes, an omnipotent god, a god who is respected by all.

Even though rumors circulated that the God of War was the number one person in the world, they still believed that Bibi Dong's strength was definitely not much weaker than Zhong Li's.

A short while later, the three left the Papal Palace.

On the way back to my accommodation.

"Nana, after we absorb the soul bone, and with your and Xie Yue's martial soul fusion skill, we are not without the ability to compete for the championship."

"As long as we can hold off Xiao Fei for a while, defeat the others first, and then..."

Yan's words made Hu Liena and Xie Yue stop in their tracks. The two exchanged a glance, and finally Hu Liena spoke up, saying, "Listen to our teacher, we need to take care of the other teams first before we have a chance."

Bibi Dong has made it very clear that they have no chance of winning.

But they were the golden generation of the Spirit Hall, so how could they be willing to accept this?

The more they are looked down upon, the more they must exert their strength, defeat their opponents, and thus earn everyone's respect.

Of course, having confidence is a good thing, but they also need to be fully prepared.

"We cannot let Her Majesty the Pope down. She said that only to reassure us that we should not feel any burden."

Xie Yue said expressionlessly. Although he had only met Bibi Dong a few times, he felt that this was what the Pope meant.

Otherwise, how could a soul bone be so easily bestowed?

Yan scratched his head. He understood what Hu Liena and Xie Yue were saying, but he still felt very uncomfortable.

Before the emergence of the Body Sect, both the elders and the Pope called them geniuses who appeared only once in a century and the hope of the Spirit Hall.

I never expected it would have been so short!

Hope was dashed.

"Let's go, absorb the soul bone, and cultivate diligently."

"Um."

Suburbs of Tiandou City.

The qualifying rounds were held in a mountain range outside Tiandou City.

Hidden within this place is one of the most powerful forces of the royal family: the Royal Knights.

The Royal Knights have a total of 50,000 members, and each of them needs about 10,000 gold soul coins for equipment.

Even though they weren't Soul Masters, the strength they displayed was considerable; they were the elite among the elite of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The reason for holding the qualifying rounds here is that the royal family wanted the royal knights to witness the battles between soul masters, thereby training their courage.

In the future, if they were to fight against Soul Masters, the Royal Knights would be able to charge forward without fear of death.

However, this reason is truly enough to cause cerebellar atrophy.

Having witnessed battles between genius Soul Masters, the Royal Knights, being human, also felt fear!

Of course, this approach has both advantages and disadvantages; it can indeed train the knights' courage.

As for the drawbacks, the royal family had considered them, but did not take them to heart.

Upon encountering a Soul King-level expert, many teams immediately gave up on competing for first or second place, making the competition quite dull and uninteresting.

There are only two spots available anyway, so even if they compete, they won't get them.

If it weren't for the need to demonstrate their strength in front of Emperor Xueye and the others, they would have simply admitted defeat.

Time passed quickly, and the competition soon reached its halfway point, when the two teams with Soul Kings finally met.

Who do you think will win?

"In terms of overall strength, Shrek Academy is clearly weaker than Royal Fighting Team 2."

The Royal Fighting Team 2 boasts a Soul King, seven or eight Soul Masters, and a group of Soul Venerables; such a team is truly terrifying.

Such a lineup has been almost unheard of in previous editions.

Shrek Academy has only one Soul King, Tang San, and only one Soul Master, Dai Mubai.

Ma Hongjun broke through to the Soul Master level, but kept it a secret.

At this moment, everyone in the Shrek Academy team had a solemn expression, because there were only seven of them, and two of them were support-type Soul Masters.

In this kind of one-on-one duel, they are at a great disadvantage.

"In today's first match, Huang Yuan will be playing. His goal is not to win, but to deplete the opponent's soul power."

"The second one will be Jing Ling, with the same goal."

"Dai Mubai is third, Ma Hongjun is fourth, and Tang San is fifth."

As for Oscar and Jiang Zhu, they have no fighting ability. If Tang San also loses, then he can only admit defeat and end the battle.

Are you confident?

To be honest, no one had much faith in Liu Erlong's words.

But the thought of Tang San being the finale gave them some confidence.

"have!"

Tang San's mindset remained unchanged.

He no longer bothers to compete with the younger generation.

His goal was the high and mighty Pope, the greatest martial god in the world.

With different goals, one's mindset has also changed significantly.

"Teacher Erlong, please rest assured, we will win."

Tang San said calmly, as if he didn't take the Royal Fighting Team 2 seriously at all.

Believe it or not, he really doesn't take the Royal Fighting Team 2 seriously.

Dugu Yan is nothing but a defeated general.

The Royal Fighting Team 2 is in a very relaxed position. They can wear Tang San down even if they have to!

The entire Soul Sect, which also possesses a Soul King, has no reason to lose, even if Dugu Yan's Soul Rings are not as terrifying as Tang San's.

"I'll be the first one to go up; I'll try my best to make sure Tang San sees you!"

Yu Tianheng said with great confidence.

After absorbing the soul bone, his soul power level increased by one level, making him even stronger than before.

He had absolutely no fear of anyone who wasn't a Soul King.

"Go for it, boss!"

"I will!"

In no time, it was the turn of both sides to take the field.

On the Royal Fighting Team 2 side, Yu Tianheng was the first to appear. Their thinking was simple: if Tang San appeared first, with so many Soul Masters around, Tang San might not even get to see Dugu Yan before being worn down and killed.

If Tang San appears last and Yu Tianheng appears first, they can deal with some of the smaller fry, wear down Tang San, and then let Dugu Yan finish the job.

Tang San is, after all, a Soul King, so he still needs to be taken seriously.

Upon seeing Huang Yuan, Yu Tianheng nodded in agreement; their tactics were correct.

Anyway, if he's the first one to appear, then the tactic has been successfully executed.

This is the tactic of the strong; the weak are left in a very passive position.

"The match begins!"

With the referee's command, Huang Yuan and Yu Tianheng simultaneously activated their martial spirits.

Huang Yuan is currently only a level 35 Soul Master. Facing Yu Tianheng, who is level 47, he felt his whole body tremble uncontrollably just from Yu Tianheng's aura.

"No, for the sake of the academy, I can't back out!"

Huang Yuan seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and launched an attack.

His martial spirit is very similar to Su Yuntao's; both are lone wolves, making him a decent individual among commoners.

Seeing Huang Yuan attack, Yu Tianheng was slightly taken aback. He never expected that this weakling would dare to take the initiative to attack!
