Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 929: Notting College is in full bloom - Undercurrents

"Brother Qing, among this batch of freshmen, is there anyone you value?"

As the first round began, Tang San talked about the selection of talents, "What our Red Society lacks most at the moment is combat personnel."

Although the adventurers in the surrounding small towns can all be considered fighters of the Chihui, their individual combat effectiveness is still too low compared to those of the big families, big sects, and the Royal Knights of the Tiandou Empire.

Although if a war really breaks out in the future, the combat power that can be unleashed by them equipped with the soul-guided hidden weapons and soul-guided weapons he has researched is not weak, their low strength still means that their mobility is much worse than these forces.

Of course, Tang San also believed that if a war really broke out, they would definitely not lose due to their numerical advantage, but——

He is a perfectionist! He doesn't want to lose to other forces anywhere!
Nowadays, Tang San's Tang Clan has been established under the Red Society, parallel to the Workers and Peasants Council. Currently, the children of workers and peasants in this area can all be regarded as children of the Tang Clan. It can be said that there are truly students all over the world, and the Tang Clan is countless times better than the previous life!
It’s just that there is a lack of young men capable of fighting.

"There is actually no shortage of combatants. The civilian spirit masters are all on our side."

Zhou Qing mentioned this, and then said, "As long as the workers and farmers' children take up weapons and receive some training, they can also become excellent combatants. As long as the enemy is not all Soul Saints or above, the superiority of soul-guided weapons is enough to make up for the gap.

However, soul masters, as highly mobile combat individuals, are indeed indispensable.

I am optimistic about all students who can stand out in Nottingham College. Don't forget that the most important thing is that the belief is consistent with us, similar to us, and has something in common with us. The rest is empty. "

"That's true."

Tang San thought about it for a moment and understood. Even if he did not agree with the philosophy of the Red Society, as long as he passed the test, he would be influenced by their thoughts even if he memorized them by rote.

Or gradually become one of their own.

Or gradually go in the opposite direction.

If it is the latter, there is no need to show mercy when we become enemies in the future - change requires bloodshed!
What will the future hold?

At least they are trying their best!
"Speaking of talent, Ouyang Sun is the strongest, right?" Xiao Wu pulled the topic back to a relaxed tone. "To be honest, at the age of twelve, perhaps because of stunted growth or martial spirit mutation, his height is about the same as an eight or nine-year-old child, but his own strength is terrifying, and he is extremely flexible in combat, and he tends to get stronger as he fights."

"Just like the Monkey King in the ancient book Journey to the West given by Lei Gu and Luo Si."

Tang San is very optimistic about Ouyang Sun. He is gifted and almost omnipotent, but his leadership ability is a little weak. His personality is too easy-going, as if he is submissive. He will not oppose anyone and will accept anyone's suggestions - this is completely different from Sun Wukong.

But after learning about Ouyang Sun's experience on the Sea God Island, Tang San could understand. After all, what this young man desired most in his heart was probably to get recognition from others.

The experience of Holy Soul Village, the recognition of villagers...
Studying at Nottingham College, caring from classmates, making friends...
He doesn't want to lose all this!
"It's just a bit similar." Zhou Qing knew better than Tang San that Ouyang Sun's childhood experiences also planted the seeds of desire for power in his heart.

Moreover, the pain caused by being bullied by children of the same age in Hailong City will never disappear.

What will the future growth be like?

It all depends on whether he can balance the pain in his past by relying on the memories accumulated during this growth experience in the environment created by the Chi Club.

Physical injuries heal quickly, but emotional pain may not heal without a strong heart, even if you die of old age.

No one else can help with this; Ouyang Sun can only experience it by himself.

As for the rest of the teachers and students at Notting College, most of their attention was focused on the competition. In the first round alone, the combat wisdom displayed by each team was enough to make people exclaim in astonishment.

The tank can resist attacks, act as a strong attacker, or even act as a support to create opportunities for other team members to attack.

A mage or controller can cooperate with teammates to attack, or when a team member controls the opponent, he can output super strong firepower.

According to their martial spirit talents and physical conditions, shooters can provide long-range damage or assist in close combat.

Auxiliary, the most extensive type of martial souls, able to resist, fight, heal, and output. There are even defensive soul masters who act as auxiliary professions in battle, which is beyond the common sense of the soul master world. With defensive soul skills, they constantly consume the opponent's soul power and create opportunities for teammates!
In the fighting spirit teaching theory of Notting College, as long as you understand the responsibilities of the word "assistance", don't think about stealing kills, can cooperate with teammates, and don't play personal heroism, then in the fighting spirit field, in fact, any kind of soul master can serve as an assistant and create a glorious victory for the entire team.

An assassin is usually a member of the Agility Attack Class. He has strong attack power, but his physique is generally weaker than that of the Power Attack Class. His main responsibility is to finish off the enemy and look for opportunities to target mages and shooters with weaker defenses during battle.

Warrior is the most comprehensive type!
There are six professions that soul masters can freely choose before the battle. After entering the battlefield, they will fulfill their corresponding duties according to the division of each profession and cooperate with each other to achieve victory.

Of course, it doesn't mean that after the fighting begins, everyone's chosen profession cannot be changed. After all, fighting is not a real game. There are no so-called rules and restrictions. As long as there is ability and team tacit understanding, you can complete the replacement of different professional responsibilities according to your own abilities during the battle.

But in general, if a team that is not familiar with each other rashly abandons the pre-arranged career choice during combat and performs another career task, it is likely to fail due to lack of coordination with teammates, and may even end up losing their composure and being defeated.

In short, the system division of six professions brings new fun to fighting spirit.

In previous soul fighting competitions, although the soul masters of each department did not fight completely according to the division of soul master types, they were still unable to let go.

The teams of Nottingham College are different, and they can be described as a hundred flowers blooming——

A soul master with a healing martial soul has a soul skill that can make the person being treated unable to move, so he can act as a controller and become a magician.

Some people's martial spirits are shields, but the two sides are quite sharp. They do not perform the role of defense, but instead become warriors, attacking fiercely and dealing damage!

There is an extremely fast agile attack system that does not have enough attack power. At this moment, it plays an auxiliary role in the team. Relying on the speed that the opponent cannot react to, it ensures its own safety while constantly attacking the opponent's wrists, ankles and other joints to harass.

There are countless examples like this!

For Flanders, Zhao Wuji and others, this way of fighting is beyond the current combat mode of the entire soul master world, and is even more outrageous than the combat mode they Shrek Academy used to have.

At least, when they were teaching students how to coordinate in battle, they had never proposed such a complete system of classifying professions, so they could only let students experience it through actual actions.

And now, they truly realize the importance of theory!
Where is Yu Xiaogang?

He also had never thought that this combat system could actually produce such an effect in actual combat. If it spreads, the fighting spirit competitions across the continent will be greatly upgraded.

But he actually has some opinions in his heart...

In fact, some teachers in Notting College have already passed this system to the forces behind it. Many senior colleges have already imitated it and established corresponding teams!

The first round of the competition came to an end amid the cheers of the audience gathered in Nottingham City and the teachers and students of Notting College. Because there were too many teams, the first round of preliminaries was held for three days.

Three days later, the second round began, with 28 choosing 14, which only took one day; the third round, 14 to 7, the fourth round, 7 to 3, one bye, and the fifth round of eliminations with the loser three, which took another day.

It was the sixth round, six days had passed since the start of the competition. Outside the Notting Square, in addition to the onlookers, there were vendors pushing carts selling various snacks and shouting, so that the Notting City Chihui branch, together with the Wuhun branch and Notting City soldiers, went to the outside of the venue to organize order.

Li Ai learned that the soldiers of Notting City went directly to help the Red Society branch maintain order without his orders, and his face became terribly gloomy.

But so what?

Li Ai's rights in Nottingham City have long been hollowed out, and Chi will be more popular among the people. If he wants to ask, the same thing applies: the tax has been paid!

They are not rebelling, they are just maintaining order and security in the city. It is their responsibility. Don't make trouble!

If Li Ai makes them unhappy, then he will have no chance of being happy!

Not to mention, as the roads became clearer, the residents of Nottingham had long understood that Li Ai was a weak person with a strong exterior, and it was impossible to accuse them of being rebels!
"A bunch of unruly people! The Red Society is already planning a rebellion!"

Li Ai was shocked and angry at the same time, and then received an order from above to increase taxes in the Notting City area, calculated on a per capita basis. Anyone who owned a house but was not a soul master would be charged 500 gold soul coins each.

Considering that the Spirit Hall conquered the Sea God Island, Li Ai did not think that increasing taxes would be a big problem, so he only increased it to 500 gold soul coins.

That's indeed a bit much.

But after Li Ai thought about it, he understood the reason.

After the tax increase, the Chihui did not object, so the higher-ups must be trying to test the Chihui further, or they may be trying to take the opportunity to force them to rebel so that they can have a legitimate reason.

Thinking of the second possibility and the suffering he had endured in Nottingham over the past few years, Li Ai decided to take a big gamble!
Emperor Xue Ye dislikes Chi Hui——

is true!

In Tiandou, many nobles are opposed to the ideas of the Chihui.

That’s true too!
All the vested interests in the current system want the Red Society's ideas to disappear into history.

It’s absolutely true!

So!

It is actually very simple to have a legitimate reason. In the past two years, he still follows the previous tax collection standards, taking a part for himself and handing over the rest, and then operating in secret.

In this case, isn't it a crime for the city of Nottingham, which is under the jurisdiction of the Tiandou Empire, to disobey the order and fail to pay taxes as required?
At that time, we can put the blame on Chihui and say that they are spreading lies to confuse the people. This is truly a legitimate reason! Everyone will be convinced!

The undercurrent surged again.

But Zhou Qing didn't know, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He and the rest of his partners just focused their attention on the seventh round of the competition.

This round will decide which team will be the official team and which team will be the substitute team.

And these two teams are Team No. 33 and Team No. 34.

In the former, the captain is Qingzhu Zhu, and the team members are Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, Baili, Arthur, Li Yao, and Ouyang Sun; in the latter, the captain is Dai Mubai, the deputy captain is Huyan Li, and the other members are Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Tuoba Wang, Xiang Ba, and Feng Feng.

It is worth noting that Huyanli, Tuoba Xi, Xiang Ba and Feng Feng were from the lower four sects: Elephant Armor Sect, Holy Dragon Sect, Black Tiger Sect and Wind Sword Sect respectively.

The current leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, Huyan Zhen, has already become a Titled Douluo, but his foundation is still somewhat inferior to the top three sects, so he has not announced it to the outside world as one of the "top four sects". He is still listed as one of the lower four sects together with the Holy Dragon Sect, the Black Tiger Sect, and the Wind Sword Sect, but there is a vague trend of becoming the leader of the lower four sects.

Back to the point.

Hu Yanli, needless to say, has a Diamond Mammoth as his martial soul, which has high health, high defense, and high attack, making him quite comprehensive; Tuoba Wang’s martial soul is a White Armored Earth Dragon, a sub-dragon species, with earth attributes and extremely strong defense; Xiang Ba’s martial soul is a Black Tiger, also a beast king, and in terms of quality, it is not inferior to the White Tiger of the Xing Luo Empire’s royal family, but for some reason, the Black Tiger succumbs to the White Tiger...
Finally, there is Feng Feng, the successor of the Wind Sword Sect. His martial soul is the Wind Sword, which has the wind attribute. He has been practicing swordsmanship in the sect since he was a child, and his wind sword skills are extremely superb.

Generally speaking, the strongest fighting skills of this type of established sect will never be spirit ring skills, and they all have their own secret techniques and tactics.

This is due to the accumulation and summary of their predecessors.

But compared with the theories of the Red Society, or even the theoretical foundations taught to students at Notting College, it pales in comparison.

Even if these basic theories were passed on to these sects, it would take a long time for the people in the sects to completely transform and absorb them in combination with the characteristics of their own martial spirits. Who knows, the world might have changed a lot by then!

"Congratulations on your victory!"

Zhou Qing came on stage and gave a loud speech, "But before the seventh round begins, both sides can team up again, regroup into seven players, and make the final decision between the official and substitute players."

After the words were spoken, everyone held their breath, wanting to see what choice the captains of the two teams would make.

"Xiang Ba, Tuoba Xi, Feng Feng, and Hu Yanli are all quite strong!"

"Indeed, these four people from the four sects must want to team up with Qingzhu Zhu, Meng Yiran, and Ning Rongrong. These three beauties also look like the children of their families or sects."

"A team of nobles? Then the rest of us, Arthur, Baili, Li Yao, Ouyang Sun, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Dai Mubai are the civilian team!"

"You can't say that. Although you are a disciple of a sect, you are not a noble without the status of a noble! You must understand this point!"

"Then Dai Mubai doesn't look like he was born a commoner, does he?"

"I guess Dai Mubai will definitely invite Qing Zhuzhu. After all, they seem to have an engagement. But Qing Zhuzhu will definitely not agree!"
