Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 231 Shrek vs. Beast Academy
On the ninth day of the promotion match, the match between Qibao College and Tianshui College kicked off.

In the Tiandou Empire Division, Tianshui College was the undisputed second in terms of team spirit, but in the one-on-one duel, their performance was not very ideal.

A few days ago, they lost consecutively to Beast Academy and Shrek Academy.

Shui Bing'er's control spirit skills are indeed very strong, and they can still be effective in a one-on-one spirit fight. However, they consume a lot of her spirit power. Even if she can win, she will not have enough spirit power when facing the next opponent.

Only the first place team in the qualifying round can get a bye in the final. The other rankings will not have much impact on the final.

Therefore, Tianshui College behaved quite casually in the qualifying match, almost not caring about winning or losing.

Today, in their match against the Qibao Academy team, there was no deployment of troops, they simply played in order from weak to strong.

Huang Wu, who was the first to appear on the stage, eliminated two people in a row.

Zhu Zhuqing and Chen Huayu came on stage next and eliminated almost everyone from the Tianshui team.

After the game, Chen Huayu couldn't help but be amazed, "Their individual abilities are not strong, but they can perform well in the team spirit. I really don't know how they do it."

"Personal strength does not represent team strength." Ning Tianchen patted his shoulder.

"The seven strongest players in this competition, forming a team, may not necessarily be the strongest team. In a team, there needs to be a clear division of labor. There is always someone who needs to do the dirty work. There is only one fruit of victory, and someone must reap it."

"If the others are not convinced by the one who has reaped the fruits of victory, the team will lose its cohesion."

"The Tianshui team has strong coordination, but I think they also take advantage of the extreme flow team."

Ning Tianchen’s summary and analysis were very accurate.

Normally, there is only one core player in a team. Even though the Qibao team has Feng Xiaotian, Ning Tianchen, and the Yudie sisters, in each team game, there is only one real core player. The rest are just supporting roles.

Of course, a balanced team has relatively balanced capabilities in all aspects, and is not like an extreme team that excels in some aspects.

Chen Huayu thinks Tianshui College is strong only based on their strong side.

But Ning Tianchen could see that if Tianshui College met the Beast College in a team battle, they would have almost no chance of winning.

After all, the latter lives in extremely cold places all year round and has a natural immunity to ice and snow.

Back in the rest area, Ke Jie reminded, "The next match will be between Shrek Academy and Beast Academy. You have played against Beast Academy before, and using them as a reference, you can also see the strength of Shrek Academy."

The promotion match has entered the second half, and everyone knows which teams are qualified to be the top five.

"Judging from the strength on paper, only Tang San from Shrek Academy can surpass Beast Academy. I wonder who will win this match." Feng Xiaotian touched his chin.

Ning Tianchen couldn't help but recall what Tian Chao had said.

If Tian Guozhen, the number one genius of the Snow Mountain Sect, had participated in the competition, Shrek Academy might not have had a chance of defeating them.

In the current situation, he is a little unsure.

While I was thinking, the game soon began.

When the referee saw the Shrek Academy competition, his heart was in his throat.

After the match where they defeated seven opponents, the Qibao team had been much more restrained in their performance and had not damaged the arena again. However, for Shrek Academy, whenever Tang San entered the arena, the arena would be destroyed.

The referee really hopes that Shrek Academy can win the game without sending out Tang San.

But is this possible? The Beast Academy team is no pushover.

……

"Xiao San, follow the previous plan. You will defend the match. In the first round, Hong Jun will play to test the strength of the Beast Team." Yu Xiaogang arranged. The Beast Team was very powerful, so they had to be cautious.

Flanders added: "The Beast Team is composed entirely of power-type soul masters. Hongjun must be careful in dealing with them. If he is defeated, he must surrender immediately to avoid getting hurt."

"There are no healing spirit masters in the promotion match. Once you are seriously injured, relying solely on the healing effect of the Crimson Pearl is far from enough to treat all of you."

Ma Hongjun held his head high and said, "Teacher, rest assured, I will never let you down."

Currently, Shrek Academy has eight main players, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ma Hongjun’s status in the team is not as high as before.

Flanders saw it and was worried.

But there is nothing that can be done about it, since Ma Hongjun's cultivation level lags behind others.

If Ma Hongjun's performance in this game is too poor, he might not have a chance to play in subsequent games.

In the first game, Beast Academy also wanted to find out the strength of Shrek Academy, so it sent the Soul Master in the team to play.

This man's name is Xue Ao, he is a top soul master, tall in stature, and possesses the Snow Mountain Ao Dog martial spirit.

The two men stepped onto the stage at the same time, and Ma Hongjun had already lost to the other in terms of momentum.

"Hey, big idiot, are you ready to be beaten?" Ma Hongjun said proudly.

His confidence came from the current record of Shrek Academy. But he didn't seem to understand that the team's record had nothing to do with him.

Under the ring, Tang San covered his face with his hands, looking strange, "Fatty is getting carried away again. He is tall and has an absolute advantage in strength. Although Fatty is an offensive spirit master, wrestling is not his strong point."

Dai Mubai's mouth twitched, "Fatty, you look down on your opponent before the game even starts. I'm afraid you're going to get beaten up."

Flanders looked at everyone with embarrassment, as if he had not expected that his disciple would do such a stupid thing.

Game start.

The Snow Mountain Ao Dog let out a roar, and the temperature of the surrounding air showed a tendency to drop slightly.

"Huang Wu has fought with him before. This kind of domain-like ability can greatly enhance the soul master himself." Ning Tianchen analyzed.

Huang Wu scratched his head and said awkwardly: "I defeated him only by suppressing him with my spirit power. I'm afraid I'm no match for him at the same level."

Ke Jie shook his head. "Winning is winning. There's no need to belittle yourself. In the future, as long as you don't slack off in your training, your strength will always suppress the opponent."

……

"Second soul skill, Phoenix Rising in Flames. First soul skill, Phoenix Fire Line."

Relying on the fire attribute added by the second soul skill, the power of the Phoenix Fire Line was greatly increased.

Ma Hongjun's idea is very simple.

Use fire attributes to suppress the opponent first, and then create opportunities for subsequent tactics.

But he seemed to have forgotten that the speed of the Snow Mountain Ao Quan martial spirit was also quite fast.

While Ma Hongjun was breathing fire, the Snow Mastiff had already flashed to his side.

"Your name is quite famous, but it's a pity that you are not a real fire phoenix. You are just a chicken with fire attribute."

The Snow Mastiff would not waste its soul power to collide with the opponent's soul skills. As it dodged and moved around, the Phoenix Fire Line could not hit it at all.
