Chapter 77 Background
Yu Xiaogang stood in front of everyone, his eyes sweeping over all eleven Shrek team members, "I will announce the lineup now. Dai Mubai, you will be the first to play, followed by Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San."
Shi Yi felt a little emotional when he heard his teacher's arrangement. No matter what world he is in, there are differences between people. Shi Yi estimates that based on the strength of everyone in Shrek, Shrek's substitutes will basically have no chance to play now. .
This is also related to the format of the promotion competition. Everyone knows very well that team spirit fighting is more important than performance. This is why the tickets for the Four Elements Academy are the best-selling, but in the world of spirit masters, personal strength is the most important. Importantly, the significance of the promotion round is to allow the contestants to show their personal strength in front of the major forces. Of course, Yu Xiaogang gives priority to such an opportunity to the people from Flanders. Of course, in terms of personal strength, the substitutes are different from Shrek. There is indeed a gap between the original cast and crew.
Tai Lung couldn't help but ask: "Master, don't we have to send seven people in the promotion competition?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tai Long and said lightly: "The strength of the three of them is enough."
"..." Tai Long opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, because Shrek's people were indeed much stronger than him.
In addition to the big points, the small points of the victory are also extremely important for the final ranking of the promotion round. Once there is a big draw, the teams are sorted by points.
This is why Yu Xiaogang was able to exclude the substitutes from the game so calmly. In Yu Xiaogang's view, since the strength of Shi Yi and others has been exposed, and only two assistants and Ma Hongjun are not playing, the score will naturally Just take as much as you can.
Seeing this scene, Shi Yi didn't say much. This is why he wanted to worship Yu Xiaogang as his teacher. No matter what world he is in, a person's success not only relies on his own efforts, but sometimes also requires some opportunities, background, relationships, etc. Things that seem to be very insubstantial still have their effect. Although Tang San in the original work is extremely talented and has his own plug-ins, in all fairness, is Yu Xiaogang really useless?
At least in Notting City, Shi Yi couldn't find anyone with a stronger background than Yu Xiaogang.
Without Yu Xiaogang, Tang San wouldn't even know about Shrek Academy, or even the existence of Poseidon Island. Maybe he would still become a strong man, but he would never be able to develop Tang Sect so smoothly, or even bring Wuhun Palace to the forefront. Overthrow, the development of power can never rely solely on one person.
There are many people with innate soul power like Tang San, but in this era, in the original work, only Bibi Dong and Tang San became gods. The two of them have a lot in common. Even if they are stronger than Bibi Dong, they still need to use the power of Wuhun Palace. The forces hunt for a hundred thousand year soul beast for themselves.
After all, personal power is limited. This sentence is still applicable in this world, at least before becoming a god. Otherwise, there would not be so many forces, sects, and families.
Just when Shi Yi was lost in thought, Emperor Xue Ye stood up from the VIP seat and loudly said through the soul guide: "The promotion competition officially begins today. In the next fourteen days, I hope that the teams from each academy will give full play to their abilities." The strength that a soul master should possess begins.”
As soon as he finished speaking, shouts like a landslide and tsunami sounded in unison, "Long live, long live, long live."
The royal knights held their lances high, the clang of their armor and their loud shouts clearly demonstrated the elegance of a great nation.
The game goes very quickly. Once there is a gap in strength between soul masters, the victory or defeat is often in an instant. Whoever has stronger soul skills and higher soul power level can easily defeat the opponent, just like Shi Yi in Performance in the team competition is the same.
There is no rest time in continuous battles. Although it is not many-on-one, being able to pick off multiple opponents in a row proves his upper limit in a sense.
Just like the Blazing Academy on the field now, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu directly penetrated an unknown team on the opposite side.
The speed of such a game is very fast. If it weren't for the soul power and physical strength of others who need to be restored, Shi Yi even feels that he can brush all the team members in one day. When he is tired, he can let Xiao Yi come out to play. After all, Shi Yi defeats most people. People don't need to expend soul power.
When Huo Wu walked back from the competition venue, she glared at Shi Yi without hesitation, but she did not make any provocative moves. The team competition was defeated by Shi Yi alone. She was not stupid enough to think that she was alone. Pick someone who can defeat Shi Yi.
Soon, it was Shrek's turn, and Shi Yi also yawned. Such a boring game would last for fourteen days, which was not interesting even thinking about it.
Shi Yi's eyes were wandering, and he unknowingly began to scan the girls around him. When he saw a familiar aqua blue eye, the next second the other person turned away from him like a frightened deer.
Shi Yi smiled slightly when he saw this, and was about to look away, but saw the other person secretly turned his head and glanced at him, as if to confirm whether Shi Yi had looked away from him. Shi Yi also followed Tianshui's example that day. The way she danced on stage gave Shui Binger a wink.
Shui Bing'er also gave Shi Yi a roll of her eyes to save face, and then looked away.
This scene was also noticed by Xue Wu on the side, and she couldn't help but joked: "Hey, Bing'er, the progress is going very fast, are you starting to flirt with each other now?"
After hearing this, everyone in Tianshui immediately divided into two teams. One team looked towards Shui Bing'er, and the other team looked towards Shi Yi.
Shi Yi looked at the girls in Tianshui looking at him with smiles, and felt a little embarrassed and quickly looked away. Shui Bing'er even blushed and lowered her head, turning into an ostrich.
Shi Yi, who fell into boredom again, could only look at the field honestly. After watching for a while, Shi Yi almost fell asleep. Soul masters in this era have not yet developed many skills. The soul master profession It was also more "professional" than expected. Looking at the entire audience, most of the soul masters were repeatedly summoning martial spirits and releasing soul skills to fight.
The more outstanding ones will have some small designs or special applications for their soul skills. As for close combat, the beast soul masters are completely at odds with each other. Only the weapon souls have some tricks, or routines.
This is also the characteristic of the spirit masters of this era, extremely simple fighting with spirits. But when faced with such a scheming person like Tang San, it is almost like playing tricks. The attack system has not even touched Tang San. There were wounds, the Sensitivity system played a chasing game with Tang San, and the control system on the opposite side was covering it with firepower.
Tang San's extremely exquisite techniques and body skills also made the VIPs watching the game extremely enjoyable to watch.
The Bluesilver Grass that was restrained by the Four Elements Academy in the team battle turned into an extremely powerful hidden weapon in front of other colleges. Shi Yi estimated that even if Tang San met someone from the Four Elements Academy now, Tang San would no longer be afraid of attribute restraint. , because one-on-one battles are still different from team battles.
The opponent needs soul power to activate his attribute abilities, but Tang San has a huge advantage in his skills. In a duel, he is not afraid of exhaustion at all. Tang San, who possesses the Tang Sect's unique skills, is not weaker than ordinary strong attacks even in close combat. Tie.
After Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing defeated five opponents respectively, Tang San also successfully toyed with the opponent's last two opponents.
The distinguished guests in the spectator seats were particularly surprised when they saw Tang San's performance. At this time, everything Tang San had not shown in the team battle was revealed.
Ning Fengzhi looked at this scene with a hint of surprise on his face, but thinking about Tang San's background, he didn't seem too surprised. As the world's number one martial spirit, outstanding disciples of the Haotian Sect often possess the same Matching skills, the skills of the Haotian Sect can be said to be famous in the soul master world. The masters of the Haotian Sect basically do not use soul skills except for the martial soul avatar, because the power brought by the mature skills is not at all Not weak to any soul skills. "Although this technique is extremely ingenious, it is not like the broad opening and closing style of Haotian Sect. It is more like the style of agility and attack system soul masters. Could it be said that it is self-created? Although the cultivation method of this Blue Silver Grass is different from that of Haotian Sect. The Ju Douluo of Wuhun Palace is very similar, but the methods used are completely different." Ning Fengzhi thought to himself.
"Uncle Gu, can you see any clues?" Ning Fengzhi asked softly towards Gu Rong, who was not far away.
Gu Rong shook his head slightly and said: "It's a bit like Juhuaguan, but it's not the same as Juhuaguan. Although the martial soul attributes are the same, the fighting style of Juhuaguan is basically to use soul power to control petals to cover the opponent, but this guy The blade is used as a weapon soul like a flying knife. His technique is very subtle. It allows the blades to hit the opponent at various tricky angles, and the movement is also very flexible. The advantage of this is that the power of the blades is multi-blessed by the body, soul power, and skills. Although the range and frequency are not as good as Juhuaguan, it can defeat the opponent. The attacks are often masterful at critical moments.”
Ning Fengzhi nodded and said: "I think so too, but this is not enough..."
With a disciple like Shi Yi in front of him, Ning Fengzhi didn't believe that Tang San was limited to this.
Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly. He was not in a hurry. When he met a suitable opponent, a child like Tang San would naturally reveal all his trump cards. Because Tang San's surname was Tang, he had the confidence. , but...
Ning Fengzhi set his sights on Shi Yi. His reason told him that everything about Shi Yi was basically revealed, but his intuition told him that there were still more surprising things about Shi Yi, but Shi Yi and Tang The third difference is that a person without background will often be wary of other people's concerns. Of course, Shi Yi is now considered a person with background.
For a smart person like Shi Yi, if Shi Yi really still hides something, it must be of higher value than what is shown now.
Of course, everything was just his guess, or maybe he was just overthinking it. After all, what Shi Yi showed was shocking enough.
"Increasing body strength can increase the life span of the absorbed soul ring, but how can the life span of the soul ring that has been absorbed be increased?" Ning Fengzhi thought to himself.
Ning Fengzhi has been paying attention to Shi Yi since Shi Yi revealed his soul ring, but Shi Yi didn't do anything unusual. Maybe this is what Shi Yi has been hiding.
The first promotion round was perfect for Shrek Academy, and it was easily solved with only three people who had already played.
In the subsequent games, the other three teams that qualified from Tiandou City also achieved victory respectively. The unbeatable record of the five soul master academies representing the Tiandou Empire immediately made Emperor Xue Ye greatly satisfied.
After the first day of competition, the deans of each college came to the stage to draw lots. The dean of Blazing Fire Academy was not very lucky. He looked at the Shrek's lottery in his hand and looked extremely ugly. The other three elements who qualified with Shrek were The people from the Kingdom and the Principality looked happy, but the people from the Kingdom and the Principality looked puzzled. They had not seen Shi Yi's strength before.
After the first day of competition, Yu Xiaogang said straight to the point while the crowd was still there: "Your opponent tomorrow is Blazing Fire Academy. Xiao B will be added to the entry list based on the current basis."
After that, everyone slowly dispersed. Just as Shi Yi was about to return to his room, a figure flashed to Yu Xiaogang's side.
Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang and said without comment: "Since Xiao Yi is on the field, why not replace Dai Mubai, Zhu Qing, and Xiao San with Tai Long, Huang Yuan, and Jing Ling."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang frowned. He understood what Liu Erlong meant. Although it was safe to let Shi Yi finish the show, letting Tai Long, Huang Yuan, and Jing Ling fight with the people from Chihuo Academy was not necessarily a performance. My own, maybe I will get injured.
Liu Erlong glared at Yu Xiaogang and said: "I have the final say, that's it."
Shi Yi also smiled at this time and said: "Master, the teacher is also worried about them. When Chihuo Academy sees the competition list tomorrow, I estimate that there is a high probability that they will abstain, because those people in the kingdom and principality do not know my strength yet. Chihuo Academy The academy will not accept the challenge and give up. Quan conveniently digs holes and uses our hands to destroy a team. That's what they want to see. It's better to wait for Shrek to meet the teams from the kingdoms and principalities, and then join Tailong, Huang Yuan, and Jing Ling. Then they won't There’s too much pressure.”
Yu Xiaogang also said quickly at this time: "Xiao Yi is right, I will naturally let them play when I meet other teams, don't worry"
Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang and snorted: "Then why don't you let them play today?"
"This..." Yu Xiaogang winked at Shi Yi after hearing this.
"This...what this, Yu Xiaogang, don't act like a sect or aristocrat here. Even if you lose, you have to let them go up and lose a few times." Liu Erlong said angrily.
"Everyone takes turns. Today it's Xiaosan and the others, next time it's Tailong and the others." Shi Yi chuckled.
"Yes, Xiao Yi is right, everyone takes turns." Yu Xiaogang said quickly.
"Don't stay here with me." Liu Erlong glared at Shi Yi and said angrily.
"Master Wife, this situation is normal. From a human perspective, the teacher will naturally favor us, but the arrangement made by the teacher is indeed the best choice. Since we have all been on the scene, we naturally make the best use of everything, and Fatty doesn't do the same. Didn't play? It can be solved quickly and the injuries to the players can be reduced, why not?" Shi Yi said cautiously.
Hearing this, Liu Erlong also sighed and said: "I understand what you said, but for them, this is also the last competition. They are different from you. Except for the Tailong clan, Huang Yuan and Jingling are both civilian families..."
"Teacher, how could you do this? At least give me a chance to express myself. Master, I think you are right." Shi Yi said to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang's face darkened, and Shi Yi also cast a helpless look, and then slowly left.
