Chapter 52: Rich Woman Ning Tian
After Huo Yuhao completed his research in the Sea of ​​Spirit, Wang Yan summoned the reserve team to a meeting in the conference room.

Because he needed to model and deduce his martial spirit and test his own conjectures these days, Huo Yuhao had no time to watch the battle.

As the captain of the reserve team, Bei Bei has been running around the viewing lounge and the Xinghuang Hotel with Wang Yan every day in the past two days, collecting intelligence from various teams.

All we can say is that this is the bitter fruit caused by Shrek Academy’s arrogance.

Because Shrek Academy has never taken other academies seriously and regarded them as opponents worthy of a battle, there is naturally no situation such as placing people to investigate intelligence before the game.

Although his own academy was like a sieve, it turned out that he was not completely ignorant of the information of other academies. If it were not for the incredible luck of Huo Yuhao in the original novel, he would probably have really failed in this competition.

Now that the main team has been injured by the Messenger of Death, Wang Yan has to shoulder the responsibility as the team leader and take Beibei to various places to collect intelligence.

This will make the next game as easy to play as possible and give the starting players more time to recover.

And because the members of the starting team need to recover from injuries.

Ma Xiaotao, the only one with intact combat power, was in a state of being semi-isolated from the team, so only Wang Yan and seven members of the reserve team participated in this meeting.

"Beibei, you did very well in the first battle. You successfully demonstrated the spirit of our Shrek Academy. I am proud of you."

Then Wang Yan turned his gaze to the others again: "In the past two days, Beibei and I have been observing the competitions of other colleges, and we have also collected the reactions of various forces to our first battle."

"The effect is very good. Under Beibei's leadership, even though it is just a reserve team, it has successfully made other forces feel daunted and powerful. This is also a manifestation of their fear of the glory inherited by our Shrek Academy."

Wang Yan continued, "I'll leave it to you, Beibei, from now on. The tactical arrangements and analysis of other teams will be left to you, the captain."

Beibei nodded, took over Wang Yan's topic and stood up, still with that warm smile on her face.

"After these two days of recuperation, my strength has returned to its peak state."

"It's just that the next match is a round-robin tournament, and the rosters have already been announced. The round-robin tournament will be arranged in the order of qualifying from the first round of the elimination tournament."

"There are three game modes in the round-robin stage. Only two teams can advance from each group, and there are eight teams in our group."

"In the round-robin tournament, we will have a battle with each team. Each victory will count for two points. If we lose, no points will be counted. A draw will count for one point."

"Because the round-robin tournament is played in rotation, it will be our turn to fight almost every two days. For me, the trump cards I showed in the knockout rounds cannot be used frequently, so our tactical arrangements must be adjusted according to the actual situation."

"But the good news is that since the round-robin tournament has a long schedule, the members of our starting team will be able to recover almost completely when the schedule is halfway through."

"This also means that as long as we make it through more than half of the rounds, we can completely let go of our hands and feet in the following games, and we only need to accumulate experience for the next competition."

"With the seniors from the main team here, the final victory can be said to be within our grasp."

Beibei smiled slightly, and after hearing what he said, everyone in the reserve team relaxed a little.

It can be said that for them, the most difficult first round of eliminations has been passed, and they just need to try their best to get higher scores in the first few rounds of the round-robin tournament.

Even if it is not a perfect victory, as long as we can hold on until the main team recovers, it is undoubtedly good news, and it also makes everyone feel much lighter about the burden imposed on them by the glory of Shrek Academy.

Beibei gave everyone some time to digest the previous information and then continued, "As for our group and subsequent opponents, we will have to wait until tomorrow to determine. However, according to the qualifying order of the knockout stage, we will definitely be the first group in the round-robin stage."

"Because of the mechanism of the round-robin tournament, given the reputation of our Shrek Academy, even if ordinary academies were to face us, they would never go all out in order to preserve their own strength."

"So what we have to do next is to fight as beautifully and entertainingly as possible, so as to consolidate the strong and unshakable position of our Shrek Academy."

"As for the role of our Shrek Academy's reputation, I believe you should have had the most direct experience in the first round of the elimination match. In fact, the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy is not weak, but facing us, they only exerted less than 50% or 60% of their strength at most."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"Then I will explain the competition system in detail. There are three competition systems in total. I won't go into details about the team competition system. I have already arranged how to arrange it before the previous knockout rounds."

"The second is the individual elimination match, which can also be considered a defense mode. The loser is eliminated, and the winner can continue to fight until he is defeated."

"That is to say, a strong player can even achieve a feat of one against seven in this mode, thereby eliminating seven enemies and achieving victory."

"As for the order of appearance." Beibei paused and glanced at Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi, who were the strongest besides himself.

"I will compete as the runner-up in the individual elimination tournament, and the first match will be given to Xu Sanshi."

Xu Sanshi said with a playful smile: "Don't worry, just leave it to me, I'm absolutely reliable."

Bei Bei ignored him and said to himself: "Xu Sanshi's tortoise shell is smelly and hard. Even if he can't beat the opponent, he can at least disgust the opponent. Leave the rest to me."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Sanshi immediately launched a verbal attack.

"As for my Overlord Thunder Realm, I have the confidence to fight even against a Soul King-level warrior. But after that, I can only leave it to Nan Nan, as the Overlord Thunder Realm consumes too much energy."

"After all, with my trump card exposed, it is impossible for a Soul King to not be on guard. I can only strike once, and at most I can only cause serious damage to the opponent. It is unrealistic to want to eliminate him directly."

"But even so, the Soul King is still the Soul King, and a tough battle is inevitable."

Jiang Nannan just nodded slightly and accepted Beibei's arrangement.

"As for what would happen if Xu Sanshi, I, and Nan Nan all failed." Bei Bei sighed, "Xiao Xiao's soul power is too low, Ning Tian is a supporting soul master, and although Yu Hao has excellent control ability, he lacks direct killing means, so he is not considered."

"Depending on the situation, I will send you, Wang Dong, to the field. It is also possible that I will choose to give up directly to preserve my strength and prepare for the possible team battle. I hope everyone can understand that the temporary concession is only for the ultimate strategic victory." "The last way of playing is a two-two-three battle."

"Two games are two-on-two, and the last game is three-on-three, best of three. If you win the first two games, you don't have to play the third game."

“So, in this third match, I’m going to bet on Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, and Xiao Xiao to be the last. Relying on Yuhao and Xiao Xiao’s control abilities, plus Wang Dong’s spirit skills, we are definitely not without a chance of winning against an opponent whose spirit power exceeds yours.”

"As for the first two games, I will be in a group with Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan will be in a group with Ning Tian."

"My strong attack and Xu Sanshi's defense can maximize the combat power and eliminate the opponent."

"Ning Tian's double boost lasts for quite a while, and more importantly, he has the ability to remove control. If he cooperates with Nan Nan, he can kill the enemy instantly in the shortest possible time."

"With the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower's bonus, although Nan Nan is an agile attack spirit master, her offensive power is definitely not inferior to that of an ordinary strong attack spirit master."

"Besides, because of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower, Ning Tian also has the possibility to pull and contain the opponent's soul master. He just needs to hold on until Nan Nan succeeds."

"The basic tactical arrangements are basically as they are now. Does anyone have any questions?"

Hearing this, Xu Sanshi seemed to have something to say, but because of Beibei's stimulation, he started to insult Beibei and forgot what he wanted to say.

As for Jiang Nannan, she was also very satisfied with this. At least for her, as long as she was not in the same team with Xu Sanshi, it didn't matter.

"Oh, there is one more thing." After using his status as captain to suppress his bad friend Xu Sanshi, Beibei said seriously.

"Everyone, be careful with soul guides. From what I've observed, most teams these past two days are equipped with soul guides. The abilities attached to soul guides are very likely to turn the tide of battle at a critical moment. You must not be careless."

But at this moment, Ning Tian, ​​who had been silent, spoke.

"As for soul guides, I actually prepared some before I came here, but I never had the chance to use them."

"Oh?" Beibei blinked and said, "What kind of soul guide did you prepare? I want to know its actual effect. Because if the soul guide has a strong effect, maybe our previous tactical arrangement needs to be changed."

Then Ning Tian was seen gently stroking the storage soul guide in his hand, and dozens of soul guides of level three to level four were taken out by Ning Tian.

There are close-range soul guides for close combat, ray soul guides for long-range attacks, triggered defense soul guides, actively cast soul guide shields, and even flying soul guides that can be used by three three-ring soul masters.

This made Beibei a little dumbfounded, but it can only be said that although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

After all, due to the weakness of their own auxiliary martial spirits, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has always been quite interested in these external things. And as the young master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the thing Ning Tian lacks the least is probably money.

As long as she needs something, the Chamber of Commerce under the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, whose influence is spread throughout the Douluo Continent, will search for her, and some third- and fourth-level soul guides are naturally nothing to her.

Huo Yuhao could see that the soul guides that Ning Tian took out did not seem to be products of the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent. Their sophistication was obviously from the Sun Moon Empire, and they were all quite advanced. They were definitely not the products that were eliminated.

As for why Ning Tian did not use them in previous battles or competitions, one reason is that as an auxiliary soul master, Ning Tian did not need to use these soul guides so urgently.

The other reason is naturally to adapt to the unspoken rules of Shrek Academy. After all, the Shrek Academy team this time are all students from the Martial Soul Department, and the Martial Soul Department's innate contempt for the Soul Guidance Department is deeply rooted.

In order to maintain good relationships with other students, Ning Tian naturally would not often use these soul guides that were regarded as "external possessions".

But now that Beibei mentioned it, Ning Tian naturally didn't need to hide it anymore. To her, the total value of these soul guides could only be regarded as her pocket money.

Bei Bei looked at these soul guides with shining eyes, because the first person he thought of was Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao’s ability to control his second soul skill was abnormal, but he lacked offensive means in a one-on-one individual elimination match.

However, if Huo Yuhao could be equipped with a third-level soul guide cannon, then combined with terrifying control methods, he could be counted as a terrifying four-ring soul master.

After all, if one does not use any defensive measures and takes the attack of the third-level soul guide cannon head-on, even the physical body of a soul master will not be able to withstand a few shots.

It’s just that due to the limitation of the firing rate, the average Soul Master can always defend and evade through soul skills before being hit by the soul guide cannon, and will not just stand there and take the hit.

Also because of the soul guide sponsored by Ning Tian, ​​the original battle plan formulated by Su Beibei also underwent some minor changes, but that is a story for later.

After the meeting, everyone went back to rest, and the fourth day of the competition soon arrived.

Compared with the previous two days, the enthusiasm of the spectators today was obviously higher. Cheers echoed in Xingluo Square early in the morning.

Because today the Shrek Academy team will play in the first round of the round-robin tournament, but today the weather is quite gloomy and the atmosphere seems even more depressing.

Amid the cheers of the audience, the members of the reserve team enjoyed the treatment of being the center of attention and made their way to the players' rest area. After a series of warm-up sessions and the announcement of the match list, the first battle of the Shrek Academy round-robin tournament was about to begin.

The host shouted excitedly: "Next, please invite the continent's number one academy, the Shrek Academy team, and their opponents, the Yunluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy team from the Xingluo Empire, to enter the waiting area."

"The captains of both teams will draw and decide the format of this competition!"

After a fancy lottery show that resembled a three-color ball, the final competition mode was determined. The one-on-one individual elimination competition is also a competition system that requires the highest personal strength.

After the game, Bei Bei nodded to Xu Sanshi, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Soul Master, I'll leave it to you next. According to the tactics I specified yesterday, there shouldn't be any problems."

Xu Sanshi raised his head, his nose pointed upwards, and posed as if to show off his muscles. He said, "You are just a small Soul Instructor Academy. I will let you know what it means to be tough and strong!"

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, showing no interest in the upcoming battle. He only retained the true eye vision brought by spiritual detection to record the battle on the field, and his main consciousness entered the sea of ​​​​spirituality.
