From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 203: Fighting against the Elephant Armor
After all, the biggest backer of Shrek Academy is just Dugu Bo, who is a guest official who does not participate in teaching. If someone says that the teaching strength of Shrek Academy is stronger than that of Xiangjia Academy, Salas will definitely not believe it.

After the drawing of lots, Sarath looked around the audience and said calmly, "Okay, I have finished drawing lots. I hope you can achieve good results. All teams that can enter the finals will be sent to Spirit City for further training by Spirit Hall, and will be sent to Spirit Saint level. They will also have priority in serving in my Spirit Hall!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the venue.

No matter how talented the contestants present are, they are only around level 43 or 44, but they are directly promoted to Soul Saint. This is really a great courage!

Leng Xiyao understood that this was the Spirit Hall's policy of raising Gu, which was to select a team of top talents from the fighting among a group of geniuses for training. But in fact, if they really followed the Spirit Hall's arrangement, they would almost never have the chance to leave the Spirit Hall. During this period of time, there must be various opportunities to tie these geniuses to the Spirit Hall.

This is also the reason why the Spirit Hall has been prosperous and developed rapidly. The two empires did not dare to spend so much money to recruit talents. They would only promise titles and fiefs that were of no use to spirit masters, and the key resources were always reserved for their own people.

The Spirit Hall has made great efforts for the growth of soul masters. Under such generous conditions, many people are naturally willing to work for the Spirit Hall.

After hearing what the Platinum Bishop said, Emperor Xue Ye's face visibly darkened. He certainly understood that the other party was poaching people in a fair and open manner, but he had no way to deal with it.

The Empire is different from the Spirit Hall. The continuation of the Empire is to maintain the ruling status of the royal family within the Empire. Therefore, the conditions that can only be used are the Empire’s resources, not the royal family’s resources.

Only when the royal family is strong enough to intimidate many kingdoms and some villains can the continuation of the country's destiny be guaranteed, and the Spirit Hall does not need to consider this at all.

As the host of the competition, he was naturally very good at observing the emperor's expression. Seeing that the emperor looked unhappy, the emcee did not dare to neglect him. Seeing Saras sitting back in his seat, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Okay, then the first match of the first round of the preliminaries will be between Xiangjia Academy and Shrek Academy. The other participating academies please leave. The competition will officially begin in half an hour!"

In the audience stands, the master couldn't help but frown when he heard the name of Xiangjia Academy.

"Xiaogang, what's wrong?" Seeing that the master's expression was not right, Flanders asked.

"Things are not good. The Elephant Armor Academy is one of the main academies I have designated. The little monsters may have to make careful deployment before fighting them. Now we cannot enter the field to arrange specific tactics. I feel that the little monsters will suffer." The master said solemnly.

"Suffering a loss?" Flanders looked at the players from the Elephant Armor Academy who were over two meters or even close to three meters tall. He was also a little surprised, but in the end he didn't take it too seriously: "What's there to be solemn about? Xiao San is not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance of things. After knowing the opponent's situation, he will definitely let Liu Qinghan or Youmeng play~"

Hearing Flanders' words, the master was stunned for a moment, then nodded in understanding: "Yes, it seems there is nothing to worry about."

You Meng and Liu Qinghan are both extremely terrifying geniuses, so much so that Tang San seems a little inferior to them.

After learning about their opponents, the little monsters in the audience quickly returned to the rest area and began to make pre-war deployments.

Looking at the group of 'giants' at the Elephant Armor Academy not far away, Tang San said to the others with a serious face: "Everyone, this battle is not easy for us to fight. The Elephant Armor Academy is one of the academies established by the lower four sects, and its members cannot be ignored. But if we lose, it will inevitably damage the reputation of our Shrek."

Although Tang San didn't know that Salas had drawn the lot with this in mind, he also knew the impact of failure in the first battle on morale. If they lost the first game, others would likely lose confidence. Even if the subsequent opponents were weaker than the Elephant Armor Academy, they might lose confidence and become afraid to fight.

After all, they all came from the countryside, and they instinctively felt inferior to other colleges in Tiandou City.

The others also knew the importance of this battle, but their spirit power was still inferior to that of the opponent, which made them a little timid.

"How about I go?" Looking at the little monsters looking dejected, Liu Qinghan couldn't help but suggest.

“No, Sister Qinghan, your spirit ring ratio is too terrifying. Unless we encounter a powerful enemy that we can hardly contend with, it must be our hidden trump card. It is absolutely impossible for others to spy on it in the first battle.” Tang San frowned and thought: “How about Youmeng? Just as a safety measure.”

Compared with Liu Qinghan, Youmeng's soul ring ratio is not that terrifying.

Although after becoming a Super Douluo, the quality of his spirit rings has been greatly improved, and the ratio of his spirit rings is similar to that of Liu Qinghan.

But he was seriously injured in the previous explosion, and coupled with the subsequent impact of the ring explosion, although his spirit ring did not dissipate, the quality has declined a lot. Now, the eight spirit rings in his prime are only yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, and black. It seems that there is nothing special except the second spirit ring.

However, the overall quality is still much better than that of normal soul masters. For example, the third soul ring is three thousand years old, and the fourth soul ring is more than nine thousand years old. Except for the second soul ring which has reached 1,300 years, the other soul rings have no stage-by-stage breakthrough in color.

Compared to Tang San’s black fourth soul ring, You Meng’s second soul ring is not so eye-catching.

You Meng did not refuse Tang San's proposal. She nodded, which was considered as an agreement.

You Meng is different from Liu Qinghan. If Liu Qinghan's strength is based on his overwhelming martial soul and spirit ring age, then You Meng's strength now lies in the combat experience that is engraved in his bones.

This is like a powerful monk who has reincarnated and cultivated again. Even if most of his strength is sealed, with his rich combat experience, killing people of the same level is still as easy as killing a chicken.

Seeing that You Meng agreed, Tang San continued, "Then, in addition to You Meng, this match will be played by me, Xiao Wu, Dai Lao Da, Zhu Qing, Oscar, and Jiang Zhu."

"It's easy to deal with these defensive players. Boss Dai will bear the pressure from the front, Jiangzhu will heal Boss Dai, Oscar will prepare the mushroom sausage, so that Xiaowu, Zhuqing and Youmeng can implement the roundabout tactics. As for me, I will contain the enemies and create more opportunities for you."
