After the round-robin tournament ended, Shrek Academy gave its students a day to rest.

In class that morning, Zhou Yi explained the format of the upcoming matches and the general situation of the opponents to Xiao Xiao and the others.

"There are 64 knockout rounds in total, and you need to win 6 matches to win the championship."

"Therefore, the elimination rounds for the freshman assessment will be completed over three days, with one round each in the morning and afternoon each day. The winning teams will recover their soul power and continue fighting, while the losing teams will return to the classroom for classes."

"Xiao Xiao".

At this moment, Zhou Yi's expression turned serious.

"There are five undefeated seeded teams in this round-robin tournament, and three of them have produced a three-ring Soul Master."

"Heh, I heard he's a special recruit from another class. He's been holding back his strength during training, hiding it all, just to compete for the championship in the crucial moment."

Zhou Yi's tone was tinged with displeasure, full of dissatisfaction with the behavior of other classes.

"In short, Xiao Xiao, you're in danger this time. You must develop a complete strategy for the upcoming matches, and make full use of your total soul power advantage when necessary."

"In addition, the seeded teams in your round-robin tournament will not meet in the first two rounds, which can be considered a preferential treatment from the academy."

"Okay, I understand."

While controlling Xiao Xiao to answer calmly, Xu Shu said disdainfully:

"Won't we run into each other in the first two rounds?"

"Hehe, there's no such rule at all. With Huo Yuhao's terrible luck, they were supposed to run into Ning Tian's team in the second round."

In the sea of ​​consciousness,

Listening to Xu Shu's complaints, Xiao Xiao wiped away the cold sweat that didn't exist on her spiritual body.

Could it be that Teacher Zhou Yi has been ostracized by the teachers of the entire grade? How could she not know about this competition?

"But it's not so bad. It's better to eliminate the Soul Master team in the early stages with one easy game and one high-pressure game than to have three high-pressure games in a row later on."

After listening to Zhou Yi's explanation, Xu Shu manipulated Xiao Xiao to pull Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao toward Seagod Island.

Instead of continuing to listen to Zhou Yi's rambling lecture, it's better to cultivate a little more and increase your soul power by a few levels.

However, Xu Shu has to complain about Fujiko's money-grubbing style.

As we all know, a 100% Martial Soul Fusion Rate, where Soul Power is fused during cultivation, can directly double the cultivation speed of both Soul Masters.

but.

When Xu Shu tried to add Wang Dong'er to the list of travelers to the cave, the system prompted him that Wang Dong'er was not a pet and that he needed a character pass to add a new character.

Xu Shu searched the internet for guides but couldn't find a way to obtain this super-powerful character pass.

Fortunately, Xiao Xiao could freely enter and leave Seagod Island at this time. With the support of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the island, they were able to maintain the same cultivation speed as in the cave.

"Senior sister, can we really beat the Soul Master teams from now on?"

On the way, Huo Yuhao hesitantly asked out his thoughts.

The fact that Xiao Xiao, a Soul Master with insufficient damage output, truly became a weak link in the team when facing a Soul Master team.

Plus, he's a one-ring Soul Master...

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Yuhao. Dong'er and I still have some trump cards up our sleeves. The final championship will definitely be ours."

Xu Shu controlled Xiao Xiao to answer calmly, as if victory was already in his grasp.

"Oh, right."

Xiao Xiao handed Huo Yuhao a manual.

"This is the design blueprint for the Peacock Feather from the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, along with an explanation manual for various mechanisms and a type of soul-guided armor. If you're unsure, refer to the armor design blueprint on the last page of the manual and see if you can come up with anything new."

Xu Shu said,

He wanted to see if Huo Yuhao in this world could be designed to fold and transform like the Huo Yuhao in the anime, and even create a peacock dance similar to nanotechnology armor.

The three-minute burnout mode of the peacock dance in the anime is still pretty cool.

.

After casually spending an hour cultivating, Xu Shu turned on his live stream after finishing lunch.

"First, first!"

"The streamer finally started broadcasting; after pretending to be dead for so long, he must have been enjoying himself first."

"Cough cough, how could that be? How could the streamer be that kind of person? How can you call it faking death when it's the streamer's business..."

While chatting with viewers in the live stream, Xu Shu controlled Xiao Xiao to casually kick down the first intra-class battle team of the morning.

"Oh ho ho, the main show is finally about to begin!"

"Ning Tian might have a soul skill that can remove control effects; shouldn't the streamer show off his ability?"

"Class 9, Freshmen, Wu Feng. Level 25 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master."

The proud red-haired girl on the screen announced her soul power level right from the start.

Left with no other choice

Next, the five people from both sides had to announce their soul power levels one by one, just like reciting the names of dishes.

......

"Class One, Huo Yuhao. Level 17 Control-type Soul Master."

Xiao Xiao was the last to speak:

"Class One, Xiao Xiao, Level 47, Support-type Soul Master."

Upon hearing Xiao Xiao's words, a fighting spirit instantly ignited in Wu Feng's eyes. As a Soul Master who could only use Soul Tools, she was eager to test the strength of her opponent.

"The assessment begins!"

The proctor inside the exam room suddenly shouted.

Wu Feng suddenly let out a delicate shout, her slender body sprang up, and a thick heat surged from her body. Accompanied by a soft dragon's roar, her swollen and slender body burst through her school uniform, revealing the tight-fitting clothes underneath and her full, hot figure.

"Thank you for the generous gift. Miss Wufeng's perks are definitely an essential part of Douluo Continent II."

"The battle was exhilarating!"

"I've finished recording."

"Incredible! Are you finished recording or not?"

With her explosive physique and equally fiery personality, Wu Feng charged straight at Xiao Xiao before Ning Tian could even activate his own martial soul support after activating it.

As per the previously established plan, Wang Dong'er on Xiao Xiao's side released her martial soul and, with Huo Yuhao's assistance, intercepted Wu Feng halfway.

Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, chose to raise her hand and inflict a paralysis and stun on Nanmen Yun'er, whose martial soul was the Jade Bird.

"Seven treasures are transformed into crystal."

Standing at a distance, Ning Tian stretched out her right hand, shouted, and summoned her radiant Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

On the viewing platform, Zhou Yi, still in the background, exclaimed in utter shock: "Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

This also reveals that those powerful families all knew Zhou Yi only knew Shrek Academy's original, extreme exploitation method, which was completely unsuitable for their disciples. All three Soul Masters dragged their feet on coming to Shrek Academy; none of them went to Zhou Yi's class.

"The seven treasures have names: the first is speed, the second is relief, and the third is strength."

Ning Tian's voice rang out, and the three spirit rings on the glazed pagoda lit up simultaneously.

As soon as the battle began, Ning Tian was under immense pressure and had to use three soul skills simultaneously.

This was mainly due to Ning Tian's lack of control over Wu Feng, which caused Wu Feng to break away from the team at the start, disrupting the battle rhythm instantly and allowing Xiao Xiao to seize the initiative.

The saying that martial spirit influences personality is perfectly exemplified in Wu Feng's case.

Nanmen Yun'er and Wu Feng were separated and were severely suppressed by Xiao Xiao in the second half of the game. Wu Feng, who was facing Wang Dong'er in the first half, also did not have an easy time.

Although Wu Feng uses both Dragon Fire and Dragon Fury, and with Ning Tian's 40% boost to "Strength" and "Speed," his strength and speed are already comparable to those of a Soul Master.

However, Wang Dong'er possesses the second ring of a thousand years, the extremely rare Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul, the spirit detection sharing of the rascal Huo, and the fast and slow sword attack methods of Xu Shusai.

Wu Feng was in a terrible state of distress.

All of the dragon claw attacks were dodged in advance. The dragon claws, whose trajectories were predicted, had to avoid being hit head-on by Wang Dong'er's wings halfway through their attack. Furthermore, the attacks were sometimes fast and sometimes slow, making it impossible for her to accurately judge the timing of dodging and attacking.

[Miyazaki: Oh, handsome! Do you like my command reading speed and slow sword technique?]

[A Love of Life: When Miyazaki was a child, he had a circumcision without anesthesia. The doctor told him not to move, but he rolled over, and the doctor ended up using a combination of fast and slow scalpel techniques.]

[Silver Chariot: Thinking about this makes me really blush. Look at your sister Feng, her face is red too, is she shy?]

A true master: The wind moves with the heart; it is the heart that moves.

After a while, Ning Tian, ​​who was behind, realized that something was wrong.

No matter how strong Wang Dong'er's second soul ring of a thousand years is, she is still fighting against Wu Feng, who has been amplified and has a strength roughly equivalent to that of a Soul Master.

It's already good enough that they can barely maintain their position, how can they possibly be able to overpower Wu Feng?

Ning Tian turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao in the back row, and just like in the original novel, she realized that Huo Yuhao was no ordinary person.

but.

This time, although Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was not available, there was a faster Soul Guiding Ray.

Nanmen Yun'er, a pure speed-based agility-type soul master, lacked Jiang Nannan's invincible golden body and could only be suppressed by Xiao Xiao in the second half of the game.

[Deep Blue Instructor: It's really funny how agility-based Soul Masters are rendered useless against Soul Tools with their high-frequency, precise attacks. I suggest the developers remove this class.]

[Blue Plains Loli: Streamer, this tactic is a bit too dirty. Are you really going to rely on soul power to wear down the opponent?]

[Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang: Otherwise, a 100% fusion martial soul fusion skill can only be used once every three days at the beginning. If we use it now, how are we going to fight Dai Huabin later?]

The person above, "Gangzi," is right. That's exactly what Xu Shu was planning—now that he's used the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, he won't be able to fight Dai Huabin later.

So what if the tactics are a bit dirty? As long as we win in the end, that's all that matters.

A Great Soul Master's soul power is actually limited to a few soul skills. The entire battle lasted only about 4 minutes, and Xiao Xiao's team steadily defeated Ning Tian's team by virtue of their soul power advantage.

There is absolutely no need to use the power of spirit fusion to amplify spirit skills as in the original work.

【Ding--】

[Dear Mr. Xu Shu, your game pod is expected to arrive tomorrow. Please allow ample time for installation.]

While chatting idly on his phone to pass the night, Xu Shu's phone popped up a notification.

Finally, the game pod is almost here, and he can finally experience the Second World that so many players have described as a real world.

The next day arrived.

After casually kicking away the roadside queue from the morning, Xiao Xiao and her group ran into the Evil Illusion Moon team again in the afternoon.

Before going on stage,

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but twitch his eye.

"Senior sister, I remember you said before that the Evil Illusion Moon team is also a Soul Master team, right?"

"Is the college really not targeting us?"

Xiao Xiao glanced at Huo Yuhao sideways.

"Of course not, you were just lucky with the draw."

"My luck?"

Huo Yuhao gave an unpleasant twitch at the corner of his mouth. Indeed, he was the one who drew the lot this time.

"Xie Huanyue is a true defensive Soul Master, with top-tier attack power and movement speed. How will the streamer fight him this time?"

"Wang Dong isn't fast enough, Huo Yuhao is easily caught, the soul tool's attack power can't break through defenses, and the teammate configuration has been changed to support soul masters with crowd control removal skills. The streamer is in trouble this time."

Is it difficult?

Xu Shu shook his head with a wry smile.

He actually felt that fighting Xie Huanyue was easier than fighting Ning Tian's well-rounded team.

If a person is 1.7 meters tall and has a 1.7-meter waist, then he might not be Lu Mingze, but Xie Huanyue.

"Class Two of Freshmen, Evil Illusion Moon."

"Class One, Xiao Xiao."

After both parties exchanged names, the proctor simply announced, "The assessment begins."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Huanyue activated his martial spirit, and his figure swelled to 1.9 meters tall.

Two teammates also hid behind Xie Huanyue and activated their martial souls. One of them, like Xie Huanyue, was a defensive soul master, mainly responsible for protecting the other support soul master who was responsible for removing the control effects from Xie Huanyue.

The Xie Huan Yue team had inherent weaknesses from the start.

In the original story, after the second group had exhausted all their members, they still added two Luo brothers, who were instantly killed by Wang Dong'er, to Xie Huan Yue's list of burdens.

To guard against Xiao Xiao's soul-guided paralysis ray, Class Two has now assigned Xie Huan Yue two teammates with even less impressive abilities.

If Xie Huanyue jumps to cut the back row after the start of the match, Wang Dong'er will have a chance to cut off Xie Huanyue's back row, and then Xiao Xiao can use the Soul Guidance Paralysis Ray to kite and kill Xie Huanyue.

If Xie Huanyue doesn't dare to jump and confronts him head-on, then Wang Dong'er, with her enhanced Butterfly God's Light Martial Soul Fusion Power, will have to give him a good taste.

Seemingly because of the protection of the defensive Soul Master, Xie Huanyue finally bravely jumped up to prepare to cut into Xiao Xiao's back row.

There's not much to say. Xu Shu controlled Xiao Xiao to press down, and some of the martial soul fusion power poured in. Wang Dong'er rushed forward and opened the Butterfly God's Light face-to-face with the two people in the back row of Xie Huan Yue.

And Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, run!"

After letting out a loud shout, Xiao Xiao grabbed Huo Yuhao by the collar and started circling around Xie Huanyue.

Hey, Huo Yuhao isn't fast enough, but Xiao Xiao is fast enough.

Being grabbed and dragged along, Huo Yuhao felt like he was about to throw up his lunch.

"The rules say you can't hurt your opponents, but they don't say you can't harm your teammates, do they?"

At this moment, Xu Shu released the mouse, took a sip of his coffee, and released the confession balloon DJ that he had prepared in advance.

Listening to this song, "Léon: The Chase," at this moment is incredibly pleasant.

[Aerospace Mouse: Announcer, your victory was a bit too ugly. Isn't it rather unsightly to grab Huo and run away?]

"Who cares, as long as we win."

"Aha—"

Xu Shu stretched.

"Finally, the plot is coming to an end. I can finally show you guys what this unique Martial Soul Fusion Skill is."

"To be honest, apart from large-scale use by people like Xiao Hongchen, soul-guided rays are practically useless on the arena. High-level soul-guided rays require charging and someone to block the damage, while low-level soul-guided rays aren't powerful enough. Against a truly strong opponent, you'd still have to sacrifice a sufficiently strong defensive soul master."

"The advanced soul-guided ray solved the problem, but don't ask how the problem came about."

"Moreover, soul tools can be used by ordinary soul masters, and there is no need for a dedicated soul master."

"In the original timeline, it was one thing for the Third Young Master to let Xiao Xiao take the bullet for He Caitou, but in this world, I guarantee that Xiao He, this useless soul tool user, won't even be selected as one of the Seven Devils."

"H slaves should just stay at Shrek Academy and be H slaves!"
