Chapter 282.
Tang San and the Golden Generation frowned slightly. The two teams were not united, but now they didn't want to fight Wang Feng because they knew that whoever faced him would definitely lose. By then, the players would lose their fighting power, which would be very detrimental to the remaining team battles on the next day. Tang San and the others had fought with JiuYiKai, and even though more than a month had passed and their strength had improved significantly, judging from the two games in the finals, the strength of Jiu Yikai was much more than that, so there was almost no possibility of winning in individual battles.
Both teams didn't want to suffer, so the situation in the first round was as it was. There were not many soul masters watching, but most of them were famous figures in the soul master world, let alone those in the Soul Hall. In front of the door stood a row of seats, and they were for the Pope Bibi Dong and other titled Douluo. Seeing this scene, they all frowned slightly.
Wang Feng smiled inwardly. If the two teams united and fought against him, it would mean that he would face a series of fourteen battles. Although it was not impossible, it would be exhausting. It wouldn't be easy to defeat them. But if they were not united and no one wanted to fight him, then he would ultimately benefit.
However, with Tang San's character, he would never unite with the Soul Hall to defeat him.
"Huh, this Shrek Academy is really playing it safe," Yan coldly snorted. "I'll go to the end and have a match with this Jiu Yikai."
Xie Ye shook his head and frowned.
"Shrek Academy has played against Jiu Yikai in the promotion tournament. I don't know the specifics, but regarding the strength of Jiu Yikai, Yan, do you think you can do it? The teachers have analyzed that the individual strength of Jiu Yikai is far above ours. If we want to defeat him, we can only rely on teamwork."
"If the two teams join forces in successive rounds, there is still a chance to defeat Jiu Yikai in the individual competition, which will weaken his fighting ability significantly. But if we don't unite, we won't be able to beat him even in rounds."
"If you go up, I can guarantee you won't last more than a few moves. What if you get injured and don't have time to recover for the finals tomorrow?"
This was the concern of the teams in the finals. Wang Feng was now like Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, dominating the competition. If the teams, like Sun and Liu, do not unite, it is almost impossible to defeat him in a personal battle. Whoever steps up will mean a weakening of their overall combat effectiveness.
"What else can we do? If this continues, should Jiu Yikai conserve his full strength and go straight to the finals? Should we fight Shrek this afternoon? If we win against Shrek, what are our odds against Jiu Yikai in the final?"
Yan said solemnly, "Shrek Academy is really stupid. Joining forces to defeat Jiu Yikai is the wisest choice. They've watched Jiu Yikai all along, and their understanding is logically clearer than ours!"
In fact, if there had been no attacks on the way, Tang San and the others might have chosen to join forces with the Soul Hall team. But now, that is impossible.
The three members of the Golden Generation didn't know that Bibi Dong had secretly sent someone to assassinate Shrek and his party, making them all have a bad impression of Soul Hall.
At this time, the second round began.
Shrek's next battle was with Huang Yuan and another forty-fourth-level agility system soul master from the Soul Hall.
Before and after the draw, Wang Feng first confronted the forty-fourth-level agility attack system soul master from the Soul Hall.
This time, the members of Soul Hall Academy did not choose to admit defeat.
The martial soul of this agility attack type soul master was Wind Deer, a high-quality agility attack type martial soul with great speed and the blessing of wind attributes. It was considered unique among agility attack types martial soul.
They clearly wanted to try to attack.
But soon, Jiu Yikai's strenght completely shattered their hopes.
In less than two seconds, the agility attack type soul master was directly defeated.
The battle was very simple with no exaggeration. The Wind Deer Soul Master released his martial soul at the start and was planning to attack.
Wang Feng used Armored Black Thorns to form two three-to-four-meter-long iron rods, which flew at a terrifying speed.
There wasn't even a chance to counter.
Without the speed of a fifty-fifth-level agility attack type soul master, Wang Feng's attack couldn't be avoided in any way.
This once again made the Soul Hall Academy team feel weak.
When Huang Yuan confronted him, he surrendered directly at Tang San's request.
This time, Wang Feng's individual competition didn't have all the flashy moves like the previous promotion competition.
He crushed the opponent with pure power and speed with highest efficiency.
Previously, when Wang Feng played against Tang San in the promotion match, he used more tricks to hide his strength and quickly defeat the eight players.
Now, after entering the finals, Wang Feng used pure strength to crush his opponent.
This made the opponents feel desperate.
"What do we do? Jiu Yikai is really not giving any chances."
Ma Hongjun scratched his head, "I think the Soul Hall is also a little anxious. If this continues, Jiu Yikai won't expend much energy... If they show their true ability, they're afraid of revealing their strength. The three golden generations definitely won't play. We've already played against Jiu Yikai..."
The group was silent.
No solution.
These two words appeared in everyone's minds.
"Otherwise, just surrender and save your strength... Let the Soul Hall team start a fight with Jiu Yikai?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, "If we quit, the Soul Hall team might still show their true skills and fight Jiu Yikai. By that time, both sides will be injured. Even though we are in the lower group, we will have a chance to win in the afternoon."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Good idea!
"But what if the martial Soul Hall also admits defeat? Jiu Yikai, without any depletion, goes directly to the finals."
Tang San slowly said, "Then the full power Soul Hall team will fight us in the afternoon. Even if we win, it will –be difficult to recover. How can we fight Jiu Yikai tomorrow?"
Ning Rongrong was taken aback, suddenly showing a bitter face.
"Shouldn't be? Rongrong's opinion is very good because..."
Xiao Wu's tone was a little weird, "They are different from us. They are the golden generation of the Soul Hall, and they are the ones who carry the hope and high expectations of the Soul Hall. How can they give up with the pride of the Soul Hall and also they seem too arrogant and prideful to just give up, I mean look at their snobbish faces."
"Even if they want to, Soul Hall will not agree, especially since the Pope is here."
Everyone was stunned by Xiao Wu's words.
"Also, do you see why they didn't admit defeat in the second round? It's because they don't want to continue like this. And those three, who are still the golden generation, will never give up directly! They will definitely fight, and they must fight!"
Xiao Wu continued.
After she finished speaking, all of Shrek's people were stunned.
Even Tang San hadn't thought about this level. He had been thinking about the tactics of the battle.
But he had never thought about this issue from a higher angle!
When he thought about it this way, he suddenly felt a little surprised.
Yes!
They dare to admit defeat because they are only Shrek Academy.
But how can the Soul Hall team surrender, they wouldn't dare, not in front of Pope atleast!
They are a symbol of the younger generation in the Soul Hall. If they don't even fight and just admitted defeat, will they be able to raise their heads in the Soul Hall in the future?
Soul Hall face as a whole would be lost too.
What right would they have to call themselves the Golden Generation then?
If they surrender directly, it would be more humiliating and uncomfortable than being defeated!
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu with a smile on his face.
This should be the way to break the game!
The rest of the people were also roused, suddenly awakened.
Figuring this out, the third round had not yet started.
On behalf of Shrek Academy, Tang San stood up and shouted:
"Our Shrek Academy surrenders and voluntarily enters the loser group for the afternoon!"
As soon as the words came out, the audience fell silent.
The Grandmaster sitting in the viewing seat showed a slight smile, nodding.
"The best course of action is to admit defeat for now!"
The Grandmaster sighed softly.
"What's good about admitting defeat?" Liu Erlong frowned, "What if Soul Palace also admits defeat? Won't it be the same tomorrow?"
The Grandmaster pointed to the members of the Soul Hall team and said in a low voice, "Do you think they will admit defeat?"
Liu Erlong heard the words and looked at them, stunned.
The members of the Soul Hall team had extremely ugly expressions, especially the three of the Golden Generation.
"As the golden generation, the Pope personally awarded them Purple/Ruby badge with high hopes. They will not directly surrender."–
The Grandmaster smiled, "The three of them carry too much light and responsibilities. This is where the Shrek Seven Devils have an advantage over them. They have less burden."
Liu Erlong suddenly realized.
She looked at Bibi Dong, who was sitting in front of the front door of the Pope's Hall, and realized that Bibi Dong frowned slightly at this time.
At this time, the referee's was also stunned. He didn't expect Shrek Academy to surrender directly.
Then only Jiu Yikai and Soul Hall will engage in a personal battle.
There is only one person in Purple Star Academy, Jiu Yikai, so there is no need to draw lots. Just send someone from the Soul Hall to keep playing.
As long as they beat Jiu Yikai, they will be tomorrow's winner group.
