Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 180: The Final Four Battle at Sun Moon Royal Academy

As soon as Shi Yu walked out of the door, he saw Jiang Nannan walking towards him. The latter came over and greeted him with a smile.
"Going to have breakfast?" Shi Yu said with a smile.
"Okay," Jiang Nannan agreed happily. Noticing the little Behemoth on Shi Yu's shoulder, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did this little monkey come from?"

I didn't see Shi Yu go anywhere yesterday to adopt such a little monkey.
"Ya ...
Because of its small size and lack of intimidation, Jiang Nannan found it adorable. This little monkey seemed to be quite intelligent.
"This little guy somehow got into my room last night. I thought it was cute so I decided to adopt it," Shi Yu explained casually.
"Oh, can I have a hug?" Jiang Nannan really liked this little Behemoth.
"Aa ...
"It only wants to be close to me. We can talk about it later when there's a chance." Shi Yu saw that the little Behemoth refused, so he didn't force it.
"Okay." Jiang Nannan was a little disappointed, but soon she put on a smile again and went to have breakfast with Shi Yu.
There is a game tomorrow, so they can still rest today.
The quarterfinals arrived, and Shrek Academy's match was once again scheduled as the first match.
Their opponent was an academy from the Sun-Moon Empire. This academy's overall strength was second only to the Sun-Moon Royal Academy, and it was also a strong contender for the championship.
Starting from the round of 16, the format of the competition was fixed, with team battles, individual battles, and two-two-three tactics all being used.
The best-of-three format means that winning two of the three matches is the final victory.
The first thing that started was a team battle, which was what the Pure Soul Instructor Academy was best at.
Shrek Academy simply gave up the team fight. After all, this match was a best-of-three series, so as long as they won the next two games, they would be victorious.
This was the decision they made after discussion, and it also received the approval of Master Xuan.
The individual battle started, Shi Yu took the lead and powerfully defeated the soul masters one after another, directly defeating seven of them.
Shrek Academy won the second game with a big score.
Next came the 223 strategy. Ma Xiaotao took the lead and led Huo Yuhao into battle, and they won the match without any surprise.
Shi Yu played in the second game, and his teammate was Jiang Nannan, and they also won successfully.
There was no need for a third match. Shrek Academy won two matches in a row despite conceding a team fight, securing victory in this match and advancing to the semifinals.
Their top four opponent, the Sun Moon Royal Academy, is, yes, the strongest academy in the Sun Moon Empire, the Sun Moon Royal Academy.
They were placed in the same half of the group, destined to have only one academy advance to the finals.
This is different from the original story. The two schools did not meet in the finals, but met in the semi-finals.
The other two colleges are Di'ao College and Xingluo Royal College.
The four colleges that made it to the semifinals remained unchanged, only the battle situations had changed.
The semifinals meeting between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Academy has sparked considerable discussion. It seems one of the champions and runners-up from the previous tournament is destined to fail.
It's hard to say whether it's Shrek Academy or Sun Moon Royal Academy.
Most likely it's the Sun and Moon Royal Academy.
Although Shrek Academy's strength has been damaged, the emergence of Shi Yu, a monster-level student, has made Shrek Academy still powerful.
Especially in individual competitions, his performance even surpassed those of Shrek Academy's former regular players.
Almost everyone assumed that Shrek Academy would win the individual competition.
The possibility of their victory in the subsequent 223 tactics is also very high.
In other words, Shrek Academy could still use the same tactics they used in the quarterfinals, surrendering in the teamfight and striving to win the next two games to secure victory overall.
The Sun Moon Royal Academy was also aware of this, and therefore had a particular headache.
The day of the semi-finals arrived, and the spectators gathered at Xingluo Square were eager for the games to begin.
Today is the first match of the semi-finals, Shrek Academy versus Sun Moon Royal Academy. Whoever loses goes home.
Players from both academies arrived at the scene.
The Xingluo Emperor also arrived at the scene. Today, he was accompanied by a general, the Duke of White Tiger, who was undoubtedly one of the most important figures in the Xingluo Empire.
"I wonder if Shrek Academy will choose to give up the team battle today," Xingluo Emperor said with a hint of curiosity as he looked at the rest area at Shrek Academy.
The White Tiger Duke beside him shook his head and said, "I don't think so. The risk of doing so is too great."

"The overall strength of the Sun-Moon Royal Academy is much stronger than their quarterfinal opponents. Their individual battles and the 223 matches are not guaranteed to win."

"That's true. After all, there are Soul Emperors in the Sun and Moon Royal Academy." The Xingluo Emperor thought about it and agreed with this.
Sun Moon Royal Academy was arranging their tactics, while Shrek Academy was also making final confirmations.
"Are you really determined to give up the team battle?" Xuan Lao and Shi Yu confirmed.
He proposed this because the leader of a top-tier soul instructor academy like the Sun Moon Royal Academy was too powerful and difficult to defeat.
Even if he could teleport, he wouldn't be able to defeat the opponent.
The opponent's teamfight consumption is definitely lower than theirs. If they fight hard in a teamfight, they will be very weak in the subsequent games, and even individual battles may not be able to guarantee victory.
Instead of doing this, giving up team fights might make it easier to win big games.
It was like this during the quarterfinals, and it was still the same when facing the Sun Moon Royal Academy in the semifinals.
"Isn't this already agreed upon? I don't want to change my decision," Shi Yu said.
Ma Xiaotao was a little hesitant. Doing the same thing with the Sun Moon Royal Academy was quite risky.
Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao and the others remained silent, waiting for Shi Yu and the others' decision.
After all, their role in team battles is relatively limited, and it mainly depends on Shi Yu and Ma Xiaotao.
If Shi Yu, the main force, judged that it would be better to give up the team battle, then it might be better to just give up directly.
"If you lose, you won't get your reward," Elder Xuan reminded.
There is no mention of Shi Yu being held responsible for this.
Shrek Academy's ability to reach the semifinals this time was entirely thanks to Shi Yu, so even if they lost this time, he wouldn't have to bear any responsibility.
"I don't want the reward to be lost just like that. Don't worry, I have a good grasp of it," Shi Yu said with a smile.
He planned this way because he wanted to maximize his chances of winning, not to lose the game.
"Since you've made up your mind, let's do it." Xuan Lao could only choose to support him.
