Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 244 The First Battle of 223

The draw was over, and the competition began immediately.

The first match was held between the Thunder Academy team and the Beast Academy team.

Yu Tianxin won against the Beast Captain in the pre-match guessing game and drew the spot for the arena match.

During the qualifying rounds, the Beast Academy team was utterly crushed by the Thunder team, so this match was no exception.

The second match was between Shrek and Yuming teams.

The latter comes from the Star Luo Empire, and its overall strength is not very strong.

Yu Tianheng had exceptional luck, drawing the team battle mode that Shrek Team excels at, and the result was naturally as expected.

The third match was coming soon.

"It's our turn." The members of Team Qibao stood up.

Wu Qi asked with a smile, "What kind of competition would you like to play?"

When facing unfamiliar opponents, a ring match is undoubtedly the most suitable.

But, you can't be that lucky!

"Let's use the 2-2-3 formation, consider it training before the finals," Feng Xiaotian said in a deep voice.

Before leaving, Wu Qi chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll try my best to draw it."

Both team captains walked onto the ring at the same time.

The captain of the Tianming team was a dark-skinned man with the typical appearance of a fisherman from the seaside.

Looking at Wu Qi's youthful face, he chuckled, "I didn't expect him to be just a little kid. Heh, I hope you can handle it."

The staff member from the Spirit Hall gave him a disdainful look.

Wu Qi was a Soul King, while he was merely a Soul Master.

The Soul Master mocked the Soul King, implying he was out of his mind.
Wu Qi ignored the other party and instead asked calmly, "Can we begin?"

The staff member nodded: "You can go first, it's a coin toss game."

Faced with an impolite fellow, the staff clearly favored Wu Qi.

Wu Qi: "Frontline."

The captain of the Tianming team had no choice but to accept the reverse side.

The coin was tossed out and caught by the staff with both hands.

Perhaps sensing the difference between heads and tails, the clasped hands rubbed in opposite directions, turning the coin upside down.

As expected, Wu Qi won when his palm opened.

Captain Tianming frowned.

Using such a trick to flip the coin is clearly cheating.

But he didn't say it aloud, since the staff all came from the Spirit Hall and they would protect each other, so his report would be meaningless.

He snorted coldly and stepped off the stage.

The staff took out a box of lots and handed it to Wu Qi to draw.

Confident in my abilities, it doesn't matter what I draw.

Wu Qi slammed his hand on the lottery table, and the vibration sent a lottery ticket flying, which landed right in the hand of a staff member.

"Two-Two-Three Strategy!"

As they spoke, the staff member displayed the skewer to the public.

In the first match of the finals, using the 2-2-3 strategy, all the participating team members sat up straight, unwilling to miss this match.

The tactics displayed by both sides will serve as a precedent for other teams to learn from.

……

Qibao Team's rest area.

Sun Buyu noticed his opponent's beaming face, as if he had been prepared for this, and couldn't help but remind him, "This match is probably going to be tough, everyone be careful."

The 2-2-3 formation allows five minutes before the match to consider the players to take the field, which are then submitted to the referee team before the match officially begins.

The final is a single-elimination tournament; if you lose, you are eliminated immediately, with no room for error.

We need to play it safe in the first game.

Wu Qi arranged, "How about this, Rongrong, Changkong, and I will act as the safety net and participate in the final three-on-three Soul Battle."

"The first two matches are two-on-two. In the first match, Wushuang and Huowu will go first, let's get off to a good start. In the second match, Xiaotian and Zhou Yun will play." "If we win the first two matches, there's no need for a third match."

In the first round, a 2-2-3 strategy is a safe bet, especially when the opponent appears very confident.

Both sides submitted their respective lists, and soon the first teams from both sides took the stage.

Huo Wushuang and his sister are both high-level Soul Masters, while their opponents are low-level Soul Masters.

Wu Qi couldn't understand why the Tianming team was so confident when there was such a huge gap in strength.
While I was pondering this, the competition had already begun.

As a powerful offensive Soul Master, Huo Wushuang took the initiative to attack, relying on his advantage in Soul Power level.

Fire Dancer provides cover from the sidelines, and will personally join the battle when necessary.

Soon, the situation turned into a one-sided affair.

Even so, all the members of the Tianming team still wore smiles, as if victory was assured.

"Have they lost their minds?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but mutter.

Is this confidence genuine, or just an act?

"Could it be that he possesses a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but ask.

Wu Qi shook his head, "These two people's martial souls have nothing in common and their cooperation is very average, so they probably don't have a martial soul fusion skill."

"I guess they're betting that we'll have a problem with our mentality."

As expected, the Huo Wushuang siblings easily won the first match.

The 2-2-3 strategy involves a best-of-three format in three matches. After losing the first match, the remaining players faced increased pressure.

However, the opponent seemed fearless, showing no change in expression.

Even the Shrek Seven Devils couldn't help but complain.

"Teacher, are these people scared out of their wits? The Seven Treasures Team is clearly far superior to them, and they don't seem to feel any urgency at all?"

How could outsiders know about the deals behind Tianming Team?
These strategies were naturally devised by Davis.

A mix of deception and reality is the easiest way to break down an opponent's mentality, allowing them to win through underhanded tactics.

……

Team Qibao doesn't care about the opponent's mentality; their confidence in their own strength makes them fearless of any challenge.

The second game begins quickly.

Feng Xiaotian and Zhou Yun worked well together, combining agility and control, enough to dominate the entire field.

But this time, they were wrong.

Tianming Team's opponent in the second match really possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

And they started to show their skills as soon as the match began.

"Soul Fusion Skill - The Sigh of the Ocean!"

The surging waves forced Feng Xiaotian to halt his attack and switch to defense.

In the rest area, Wu Qi stood up, frowned, and said, "They're playing psychological warfare, trying to throw me off balance by switching between reality and illusion."

"If Xiaotian loses, we'll go all out in the third match, with Rongrong giving us all the buffs!"

Those who resort to such underhanded tactics will only reap the bitter fruits of their actions!

Of course, Feng Xiaotian might have a way to deal with the fusion skill of two Soul Masters.

Ultimately, he decided to reveal his trump card in exchange for Wu Qi keeping it hidden.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Tornado Blade!"

With the activation of the soul skill, strong winds swept across the arena, engulfing the seawater and rendering it completely harmless.

Under Feng Xiaotian's control, saltwater rain fell across the entire competition venue; the strong winds directly attacked the Soul Masters' bodies, causing their Martial Soul Fusion Techniques to crumble on their own.

Two to zero, this match using the 2-2-3 strategy was a foregone conclusion, with Team Qibao securing a clean and decisive victory.

Stepping off the stage, Feng Xiaotian let out a long sigh of relief.

His opponent's underhanded tactics worked, putting him under immense pressure, and he eventually had to use his trump card.

"Xiaotian, are you okay?"

Seeing that he was not in a good state, Wu Qi quickly comforted him.
