Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 153 The Theory and Practice of "Sacrificing Teammates"
The sun was high in the sky, and the match was about to begin. His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire appeared precisely on the city walls to watch the game. Undoubtedly, his primary focus was on Shrek Academy, or to put it more directly, on Huo Yuhao.

"Brother, what kind of competition do you think Shrek Academy will draw today?" His Majesty the Emperor turned his head slightly to look at Duke White Tiger.

Today, news came from Shrek City that Dai Yueheng's injuries have stabilized. Therefore, although Dai Hao's complexion is still not good, it is slightly better than a few days ago.

Upon hearing His Majesty's question, Dai Hao shook his head slightly: "Given Shrek Academy's current situation, as long as it's not a 2-2-3 battle strategy, the chances of winning should be quite high."

As the host, the Star Luo Empire had already thoroughly investigated Shrek Academy's situation. Although their three main members were still recovering, with Huo Yuhao's combat power comparable to a Soul King, plus Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, Di Qianqiu, Jiang Nannan, and a group of Soul Masters, their overall strength, while still relatively weak, was at least not embarrassingly weak. Moreover, the Soul Masters produced by Shrek Academy were considered invincible among their peers in everyone's eyes.

The Star Luo Emperor nodded slightly, agreeing with Dai Hao's assessment. He then turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao, the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, and sighed inwardly: "Dai Hao, Dai Hao, you acted recklessly, but how could you not even care about that mother and son afterward? Alas, to raise such a talented son into someone with whom you'll never speak again—what a pity! Otherwise, my Star Luo Empire might..."
On the competition stage, the referee walked to the center and announced loudly through the megaphone: "Both sides enter the waiting area, and the captains of both sides come up to draw lots."

Upon hearing the announcement, everyone from Shrek Academy stood up and entered the waiting area. Huo Yuhao, with a cold and aloof demeanor, walked slowly toward the stage, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

From the Thousand Spirits Academy, a male student also came up. He looked to be around twenty years old, with a slender build and a cold, hard expression. He looked like a javelin.

The drawing begins!
Everyone is focused on the draw results for this competition. Regardless of the format, any match involving Shrek Academy will undoubtedly be incredibly exciting. Of course, what everyone is most eager to see is the individual battles—the thrill of one person taking on a group is what gets everyone's blood pumping!
Perhaps Wang Yan didn't check the almanac before going out today, because the result of the lottery was exactly what he didn't want to see.

"Shrek Academy vs. Thousand Spirits Academy, 2-2-3 format. That is, the first two matches will be two-on-two, and the last match will be three-on-three, best of three. If one side wins both of the first two matches, the third three-on-three match will be canceled, and both captains can step down and prepare." The referee announced the draw results loudly.

Upon hearing the referee's announcement, Wang Yan's heart tightened immediately; what he feared most had come to pass!
Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, "Teacher Wang, what are you afraid of? Since we already have a contingency plan, let's just proceed as arranged."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao glanced at Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi with a strange look, thinking to himself: "They say that sacrificing your teammates makes you incredibly powerful. Today I'll see if that's true, hehe!"

"Jiang Nannan, and Senior Brother, you two go for the first match and find out what they're capable of," Huo Yuhao said seriously.

Xu Sanshi said, "Yuhao, why don't you let me and Nannan go? Don't worry, I guarantee we'll win this game!"

Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan's face showed a disgusted expression: "You dead turtle, you greasy man, get out of here!"

Xu Sanshi: "."

Huo Yuhao shrugged helplessly at him. Jiang Nannan stopped looking at Xu Sanshi and strode onto the field. From the very beginning of the reserve team selection, she had been holding back her anger. Although she had temporarily joined the reserve team thanks to Huo Yuhao's recommendation, she was still incredibly frustrated after learning from Bei Bei that she had missed out on the title of "Shrek Seven Devils," and hadn't slept well for several nights!
Although she had already guessed that Huo Yuhao had arranged for her to be in the first round to test Qianling Academy, and that she was somewhat of a cannon fodder, what else could she say when even his own senior brother had been sent out?

Furthermore, she knew that pairing Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, the twin stars, together would maximize their combat effectiveness. Huo Yuhao and Di Qianqiu had previously been in a team, and cooperating with them would undoubtedly be more effective than cooperating with her. As for Wang Dong'er and the others, the difference in their cultivation levels was still quite significant. If they were placed in the first match, it wouldn't be a test; they might very well become easy prey!

Therefore, this arrangement is actually quite reasonable and represents a relatively stable tactic; there's nothing wrong with it.

It's just that the feeling of being cannon fodder is really uncomfortable!
He Caitou wasn't nervous at all. Huo Yuhao had already said that all he needed to do in this match was try his best, no need to go all out. After all, this was a round-robin tournament. Not only would Huo Yuhao and others be there to support them later, but even if they lost the whole match, Ma Xiaotao could return for the next one. What was there to be afraid of?
On the opposite side, two team members from Qianling Academy also stepped out, and to everyone's surprise, they were actually two girls!
Moreover, the two have distinct physical characteristics, making them quite easy to distinguish. One has red hair, while the other has blue hair, making them very eye-catching.

According to the information Wang Yan collected, the two girls, the one with blue hair is named An Lengye, whose martial soul is the Frost Bear, and the one with red hair is named Fei Yuyan, whose martial soul is the Blazing Tiger. They both follow a control-oriented path and are known as the "Dual Control of Ice and Fire".

In previous matches, this team had not used any soul tools, but their average combat strength was incomparable to that of Yunluo Academy, which they had faced in the previous match.

As he walked toward the sidelines, He Caitou flipped his hand, stuffed a thick cigar into his mouth, took a deep drag, and exhaled a large smoke ring.

As a seasoned smoker, after seeing Huo Yuhao blow smoke rings that time, He Caitou immediately sought out Huo Yuhao and learned this seemingly pretentious skill.

Then, he subconsciously handed one to Jiang Nannan next to him as well.

Jiang Nannan glared at him fiercely, snorted, and turned her head away, clearly not intending to accept He Caitou's kindness.

He Caitou paused for a moment, then awkwardly put away his cigar. He scratched his shiny black head with his large hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "Jiang Nannan, you're fast. If we encounter any danger later, just hide behind me. I'm tough and I'm not afraid of getting hurt. You need to be careful."

Jiang Nannan turned her head in surprise and saw He Caitou scratching his head and grinning. A strange thought suddenly popped into her mind: How come she never noticed before that although this charcoal-faced guy was big and burly, and his skin was as black as charcoal, his facial features seemed to be quite decent?

Can you guess how the "ritual" will be performed? Hehe!
